Megastar to Acquire 100% of Rama de Oro Epithermal Au-Ag Project in Oaxaca, Mexico

“We are very excited to have concluded on this agreement,” said Dusan Berka, CEO of Megastar Development. “The project has been on our radar for some time and brings with it two important ingredients for early stage exploration; location and expertise. On location, the property sits on the trend between two producing mines; the Switchback mine owned by Gold Resource Corp. to the north and the San Jose mine owned by Fortuna Silver Mines to the south. From a technical perspective, the property is being vended in by David Jones, a geologist with extensive experience and success in Mexico having been part of the finds of several, now-producing mines. David will also be an instrumental part of the exploration team, allowing us to benefit from his historical understanding of the property and its surrounding geology.”
