Excalibur Sells Minera Catanava
Excalibur Resources Ltd. has sold its 49% interest in Minera Catanava to its 51% partner Minera Apolo for US$75,000. Over a period of 4 years, the plant was unable to generate positive cash flow, due to lower than expected average grades, recoveries and concentrate purchase prices. In addition, there were ongoing equipment breakdowns, low volumes, water shortages, etc such that there was no justification for further investment.
