Within the scope of the proposed acquisition of the Cerro Quema project in Panama, Pershimco mobilized professionals of its exploration team over the past 2 weeks with the objective of gathering the necessary documents to complete a high level due diligence review beginning this week by experts of the Canadian division of Scott-Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc., an international geological and mining consulting firm.

An initial study of the documents gathered to date by Pershimco’s professional team seems to indicate a normal status of all mining concessions and a financial situation similar to what was presented to Pershimco during preliminary negotiations.
