The La India concession covers an area of approximately 4,823 hectares in the district of Yecora, Sonora, Mexico. The Vendors are well known local prospectors and are at arm's length to the Company. They have previously sold the Mulatos and La India mine concessions in the district.
The La India claim overlies similar geology to the rocks which host Dios Padre. Early cretaceous andesitic volcanic rocks are proximal to late cretaceous plutonic rocks that are associated with Laramide age porphyries in the district. The property exhibits localized zones of argillic, advanced argillic and pervasive silicification that are typically markers of hydrothermal alteration associated with Au-Ag mineralized systems such as the nearby La India and Mulatos gold mines.
"This transaction is a strategic step for Regency. The La India option meaningfully expands our land package in the district and confirms our commitment to the Dios Padre area. The success of our drilling at Dios Padre strengthens our hypothesis that we are operating within a large porphyry system in the Dios Padre district," stated Bruce Bragagnolo, CEO.
