TORONTO, July 25, 2012 /CNW/ - Anaconda Mining Inc. ("Anaconda" or "the
Company") - (TSX: ANX) announced today that, effective July 19, 2012,
it entered into a five-year option agreement with Fair Haven Resources
Inc. ("Fair Haven") to acquire a 100% undivided interest in 11
exploration licenses (the "Licenses") totaling 71 claims or
approximately 1,804 hectares near its Pine Cove mine. The Licenses,
which are adjacent to the recently optioned Tenacity Gold property
(please see press release dated May 7, 2012), cover highly prospective
rocks of the Point Rousse Complex including portions of the Goldenville
iron formation which is host to the historic Goldenville Mine. The new
acquisition further consolidates Anaconda's strategic land position
north and south of its Pine Cove mine. Please see the attached map for
the actual location of the Licenses.
President and CEO, Dustin Angelo, stated, "In only two transactions,
Anaconda has increased its land package around Pine Cove six-fold to
approximately 4,000 hectares. The Fair Haven properties enable us to
expand our exploration efforts beyond the prospecting work currently
being done on the Pine Cove mining lease, outside of the current pit
operation, and the Tenacity Gold mining licenses. With our large,
highly prospective land package, we are committed to discovering
another economic deposit in the area and growing Pine Cove."
In the near term, the Company does not have any material, mandatory
obligations related to the Licenses; however, it is obliged to keep the
Licenses in good standing during the term of the option. During the
remainder of calendar 2012, the Company is required to make exploration
expenditures of approximately $7,000.
