Newrange Gold inks US$1M deal to sell Colombian subsidiary

Newrange Gold Corp (CVE:NRG) (OTCQB:NRGOF) signed a US$1 million share purchase agreement to sell its Colombian subsidiary Corporacion Minera de Colombia (CMC) to private Australian mining company Andean Mining Corporation Pty Ltd.  The company received US$250,000 in an advance payment, with the remaining $750,000 to be paid after nine months. Andean has also issued 15% of its share capital to Newrange and intends to proceed with a listing on the Australian Stock Exchange.  Andean previously held an option on CMC’s El Dovio Project, which was terminated when the deal was signed. Newrange will retain a 2% net smelter return on the project, capped at US$6 million.

The company’s flagship Pamlico Project in Nevada has seen numerous drill intercepts of near surface oxide gold mineralization up to 340 grams of gold per metric ton.
