Silver Elephant Mining Corp. (SILEF) has announced an agreement to assign its rights to the El Triunfo Gold-Antimony Project in Bolivia to CleanTech Vanadium Mining Corp. for CAD 155,000 in cash. The transaction involves transferring Silver Elephant's option to acquire 100% equity in Mururata S.R.L., which owns the Bolivian mining rights.

The El Triunfo Project, located 75km east of La Paz, Bolivia, covers approximately 256 hectares. The deal's closing is contingent on several conditions, including due diligence completion, regulatory approvals, and an amendment to the original Triunfo Option Agreement. CleanTech has provided a refundable deposit of $155,000, returnable if the transaction isn't completed by December 31, 2025.

The transaction is classified as Non-Arm's Length due to overlapping leadership positions between the companies, with several executives and directors serving both entities. Key officers John Lee and Greg Hall declared their interest and abstained from voting on the transaction.

Silver Elephant Mining Corp. (SILEF) is facing challenges with its Mining Production Contract (MPC) in Bolivia after Comibol, the state mining company, issued a Notice of Cancelation in December 2024, alleging illegal mining activities. The company strongly denies these allegations, stating there is no physical evidence and maintaining that all permits were legally valid.

The situation is complicated by Andean Precious Metals Corp., a former customer, entering into a purchase agreement with Comibol for oxide materials from areas within Silver Elephant's MPC territory. This development follows a series of business interactions between the companies, including a terminated Master Services Agreement that resulted in a disputed $1,000,000 payment.

Silver Elephant has filed legal actions, including a Notice of Arbitration for payment and a Notice of Dispute regarding contractual interference. The company is actively pursuing administrative and judicial measures to reinstate the MPC for its 2,803-hectare Pulacayo-Paca Project.

The dispute stems from a September 11, 2023 Master Services Agreement (MSA) and Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA), where Silver Elephant agreed to sell up to 800,000 tonnes of Paca oxide materials to Andean for US$5-7 million plus expense reimbursements. After Andean defaulted on payment and the cure period lapsed, Silver Elephant terminated both agreements on December 31, 2024.
