Rob McEwen: Los Azules Copper - "The Glimmer of Hope for Argentina."
It looks like there is some interest to Los Azules Copper project in Argentina now. Political situation will change later this year and this kind of giant copper deposits are not coming along every day. Who is on the property now? Hopefully we will have more information at PDAC.
Kirill Klip.:
Rob McEwen: Los Azules Copper - "The Glimmer of Hope for Argentina."
Rob McEwen was presenting at BMO Capital Markets conference this week. It is the very interesting presentation and you can find it on the McEwen Mining website. The most interesting for TNR Gold was his comment on the recent situation in Argentina. He sees "the glimmer of hope" with the coming elections in October later this year: "Producers are making their enquiries about the Los Azules Copper project and one of them is on the property now."
Please read carefully my legal disclosure and do not get very excited or make any investment decisions based on this public information from Rob McEwen. I personally think, that it is the very encouraging update from Rob on Los Azules Copper status. His view on Argentina and the changing mining landscape confirms the Yamana Gold and Goldcorp news we have discussed before. There is a long way from the any visit on the property to the signed contract, but magnitude of Los Azules Copper will speak for itself one day - you can find more information on TNR Gold website. Higher copper prices will be the catalyst here and today's news from China has ignited 2% rally in very oversold Copper. We will see soon whether it becomes the sustainable trend. As Rob has mentioned: "This is the time to look at valuations for the best projects."

Goldcorp: Confident In Argentina; Eyeing Free Cash Flow – Chuck Jeannes.
Argentina is coming back to radar screens now, elections this coming Fall will bring the new catalyst. Now Goldcorp is talking about its investments in the country. Chuck Jeannes tale about The Peak Gold in 2015 as well now. Read more."
Los Azules Copper: "Argentina's Mining Landscape Improving, Cerro Morro A Go – Yamana CEO."
"More and more good news are coming from Argentina these days. Country will face elections this year and smart money are already positioning themselves in the best undervalued projects. Nothing should be taken as an investment advise on this blog, please always do your own DD and read my full disclosure.TNR Gold is very fortunate to have McEwen Mining as its partner at the world-class Los Azules Copper project. With lower copper prices and perception of the investment risk in Argentina all valuations were driven into the ground. The return to the mean could be potentially dramatic as well. Gold Corp will put its new mine into production in Argentina this month, Yamana is moving forward with Cerro Morro and China is solidly on the track to secure supply of commodities from Latin America. I do not know when, but Los Azules Copper will be back on the radar screens of the investors one day and its fundamentals will speak for themselves.Now you can more appreciate the step by step approach in the development of Mariana Lihium by our J/V with top Lithium producer from China - Ganfeng Lithium. Please stay tuned for the update on our next phase development programmes. You can check more information on the links provided below and in our latest presentations on this blog.

TNR Gold: Los Azules Copper Property Lawsuit Against McEwen Mining Settled - TNR's 25% Right to Back-In at Feasibility Restored TNR.v, MUX
Dedicated to all Junior Miners, Metals and Metallica Fans.
Truth and Nothing Else Matters.
TNR Gold: Los Azules Copper Property Lawsuit Against McEwen Mining Settled - TNR's 25% Right to Back-In at Feasibility Restored
Vancouver B.C.: TNR Gold Corp. ("the Company") is very pleased to announce that TNR Gold Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Solitario Argentina S.A. (together, "TNR") have reached a settlement with McEwen Mining Inc. which resolves the outstanding litigation with respect to the Los Azules Copper Project located in San Juan Province, Argentina ("Los Azules").
The settlement restores a 25% back-in right to TNR which is exercisable following the completion of a feasibility study. The back-in right allows TNR to back-in for 25% of the northern part of the Los Azules property, which McEwen Mining has said contains the largest share of the known resource at Los Azules.
In addition, TNR receives an industry standard Net Smelter Royalty of 0.6% and 1 million shares in McEwen Mining (information about McEwen Mining can be found at http://www.mcewenmining.com and on Sedar at http://www.sedar.com). The Net Smelter Royalty is over the northern portion of the property and is triggered if TNR chooses to back-in for 5% or less or is diluted below 5%. In return, TNR will discontinue its claims and transfer to McEwen Mining the mineral rights to a property called Escorpio IV.
Kirill Klip, Non-Executive Chairman of TNR Gold, stated, "I welcome the positive resolution of the Los Azules litigation in the out of court settlement between TNR Gold and McEwen Mining. I would like personally to thank Rob McEwen as this resolution is a highly beneficial outcome for both our companies. Removing the uncertainty over the rights to Los Azules will allow the project to now achieve its full potential for the benefit of the shareholders of both TNR Gold and McEwen Mining, and I consider our stake in McEwen Mining as a strategic holding for TNR Gold."
ABOUT TNR GOLD CORP.
Over the past twenty-one years TNR, through its lead generator business model, has been successful in generating high quality exploration projects around the globe. With the Company's expertise, resources and industry network, it is well positioned to aggressively identify, source, explore, partner and continue to expand its project portfolio.
TNR's recently listed subsidiary, International Lithium Corp. (TSX:ILC.V), demonstrated the successful application of TNR's business model in which TNR shareholders benefited from a unit distribution upon spin-out of TNR's lithium and rare metals projects. TNR remains a large shareholder in ILC at 25.5% of outstanding shares.
At its core, TNR provides significant exposure to gold and copper through its holdings in Alaska and Argentina; and teamed with the recent acquisitions of rare-earth elements and iron ore projects in Canada confirm TNR's commitment to continued generation of in-demand projects, while diversifying its markets and building shareholder value.
On behalf of the board,
Gary Schellenberg President -- TNR Gold Corp.

McEwen Mining: Los Azules Drilling October 2012
"As noted in our November 7th news release, drilling began at Los Azules on October 12th. Los Azules is one of the world's largest and highest grade undeveloped copper porphyry deposits. A total of seven drills are operating at the property. The drills are considerably more powerful than the ones used during past field seasons. The Company believes this will increase the likelihood of reaching target depths (+700 meters), where high-grade copper mineralization has been discovered. Initial drill assay results are expected to be released early in 2013. The Company plans to drill approximately 15,000 meters this season."
McEwen Mining Inc.: Los Azules Lawsuit Settled
11/12/2012
The settlement of this litigation is beneficial in that it provides certainty on the ownership of Los Azules. This allows McEwen Mining to explore areas of the property that were previously contested; as well, evaluate strategic alternatives with respect to the project as a whole.
| "This is a very positive development for McEwen Mining, TNR Gold and the Province of San Juan, Argentina. It allows us to accelerate and expand the magnitude of our exploration effort. With this legal obstacle behind us, we are now embarking on the largest drill program in the project's history. We are excited by the potential of growing the size of this world-class copper asset", said Rob McEwen, Chief Owner | |
The Highlights Of The Settlement: | |
| 1. | All Litigation has been settled. |
| 2. | McEwen Mining has clear title to the Escorpio IV claim. |
| 3. | TNR retains a Back-In Right. |
| 4. | TNR receives 1,000,000 shares of McEwen Mining. |
Details of the Settlement: | |
| 1. | Litigation Over: |
| All of the claims and counterclaims brought by TNR and McEwen Mining will either be discontinued or resolved by way of a consent dismissal order. | |
| 2. | McEwen Mining owns 100% of the Escorpio IV Claim: |
| TNR will transfer the contested Escorpio IV claim (a mineral claim situated to the west of the deposit) to McEwen Mining. While no mineralization has been found on this property it is best suited for locating all processing and administrative facilities of any future mine development. | |
| 3. | TNR's Back-In Right: |
| TNR will retain their Back-in Right for up to 25% of the equity in certain claims comprising the northern portions of Los Azules. These northern claims currently represent approximately 62% of the known resource at Los Azules. This 25% interest, when taken in the context of the whole property, would be currently equivalent to approximately a 15% interest of the total estimated resources at Los Azules (Canadian NI 43-101). This interest could increase or decrease depending on the location and size of future exploration results. The Back-in Right is exercisable after the completion of a bankable feasibility study. To exercise TNR must pay two (2) times the expenses attributable to the back-in percentage (ie. paying 2 x 25% all of the costs attributable to the claims comprising the northern portion of the property). Upon backing-in, TNR may elect to continue to participate in the project or be diluted down to a 0.6% NSR on the same claims comprising the northern portion of the project. | |
