HIGHLIGHTS
Colombia
- On 30th September 2020, Newmont
Corporation, entered into a joint venture with Agnico Eagle Mines
Limited (“Agnico”) whereby the two companies jointly assumed and
will advance Newmont’s prior rights and obligations with respect to
the Anzá Project in Colombia on a 50:50 basis, with Agnico as
operator of the joint venture. Agnico’s and Newmont’s JV vehicle
has been renamed Minera Monte Águila.
- Following receipt of exploration
funds from Minera Monte Águila, Minera Anzá began the process of
re-establishing its field camp at the Anzá Project in readiness for
commencement of field operations. A substantial team of
geoscientists and support staff were recruited to manage the
work.
- Drilling operations commenced on
the 15th of November 2020 and a total of some 10,000m have been
drilled to date.
- Four announcements have been made
related to assay results from the ongoing drilling campaign – on
25th January 2021; 22nd February 2021; 4th May 2021; and, 6th July

- A number of samples remain at the
laboratory of ALS in Peru, which has experienced substantial delays
in turnaround times due to Covid related staff shortages. These
issues are slowly being resolved and it is anticipated that assay
delays will be reduced going forwards
- Apart from drilling at the APTA
prospect, work commenced on regional mapping and sampling across
the wider lease holding. A large program of BLEG sampling was
commenced, which once analyzed should provide vectors to more
targeted programs in following quarters. Initial results have been
promising, with two new prospect areas identified and named for
future reference, Pupino and Pepas.
- The Company has commenced work on
converting the last of its secure license applications to granted
status so that they can be accessed for exploration work later in
the year.
Uruguay
- In Uruguay, the Company has focused
its activities on the implementation of the Creditors Agreement,
which was approved by the Court in September 2019, and on the sale
of the assets of its Uruguayan subsidiary Loryser. As part of that
Agreement, Orosur issued in December 2019, 10,000,000 Orosur common
shares to a trust for the benefit of Loryser’s creditors as
contemplated in the court-approved Creditors Agreement.
- At the same time, and in line with
Company’s expectations, during Q3 2020, Loryser signed a Settlement
Agreement with DINAMA (Uruguay environmental agency) in order to
recover the $1,326,000 from an environmental guarantee it had
executed previously. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Loryser
is continuing with the reclamation of the tailings dam and Dinama
will pay in instalments upon completion of a nine-phased closure
plan. The agreement has been in effect all year after getting final
approval from the Audit Tribunal, who oversees all Governmental
accounts. The reclamation is progressing well. To date, four
payments totalling $957,000 have been received from DINAMA.
- Good progress is being made on the
sale of Loryser’s other assets including plant and equipment. The
proceeds from all of these sales and the sales of the shares by the
Trust will be used to pay liabilities in Uruguay in connection with
the aforementioned Creditors Agreement.
Financial and Corporate
- The consolidated
financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis
under the historical cost method except for certain financial
assets and liabilities, which are accounted for as Assets and
Liabilities held for sale (at the lower of book value or fair
value) and Profit and Loss from discontinuing operations. This
accounting treatment has been applied to the activities in Uruguay
and Chile.
- On May 31, 2021, the Company had a
cash balance of $6,958,000 (May 31, 2020: $782,000). As at the date
of this announcement the Company had a cash balance of $6,270,000,
which includes the proceeds from the private placement and from the
exercise of stock options, both detailed below.
- On July 17, 2020, Brad George was
appointed Chief Executive Officer and Thomas Masney was appointed
as a non-executive director, replacing Ignacio Salazar and HD Lee
respectively.
- On August 14, 2020, 8,370,000
warrants expired unexercised.
- On October 30, 2020, 2,876,670
stock options were exercised by a number of employees and former
employees resulting in proceeds of CDN$455,000 for the
Company.
- On December 7, 2020, the Company
completed a private placement financing consisting of the sale of
23,529,412 units (the “Units”) at 17 pence per Unit for aggregate
gross proceeds of £4 million ($5,372,000). Each Unit consisted of
one (1) common share in the capital stock of the Company (“Common
Share”) and one-half (1/2) of one Common Share purchase warrant
(each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder
thereof to acquire an additional Common Share at a price of 25.5
pence for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance.
- On December 10, 2020, the Company
granted an aggregate of 5,600,000 stock options of which 4,300,000
were granted to certain directors and officers of the Company, at
an exercise price of CAD$0.325 with an expiration date of December
10, 2030. These options vested 50% immediately and then 50% on
December 10, 2021.
- On January 12, 2021, the Company
appointed Nicholas (Nick) von Schirnding to the Company’s Board as
an Independent Non-Executive Director. The Company also appointed
Louis Castro, then Non-Executive Chairman of the Company, to the
role of Executive Chairman.
Outlook and Strategy
During the period, the Company continued its
focus on developing the potential at Anza and continuing the
orderly closure of its historical operations in Uruguay in
accordance with the court agreed settlement process. Work on both
facets of the corporate strategy is progressing well and the
capital raising in November 2020 has provided sufficient balance
sheet strength to continue progress. The Company has also been
examining new business opportunities in South America and, on July
7th, 2021, it announced that it had entered into a non-binding
Letter of Intent in order to establish a joint venture on a tin
project in Rhondonia state in Brazil.The Company will continue to
build its project portfolio with other high quality assets, subject
to current travel restrictions caused by Covid.
Brad George, CEO of Orosur
said:“Operationally and financially it has been a good
year, albeit a somewhat challenging one in light of the Covid-19
pandemic that has impacted every facet of our business. Uruguay
continues to be wound down in an orderly fashion as per our plans
and is near the end; Colombia has been a major success story with
tremendous results from our drilling and sampling programs, all
undertaken while the pandemic raged around us; and our balance
sheet was brought back to life with a well-supported capital
raising. With work accelerating at Anza and with potential new
projects coming on line, this coming year looks to be even
better.”

Note 1. Revision
of 2020 reported financial statements
Subsequent to the issuance of the previously
reported financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2020, a
review of foreign exchange movements in its Uruguayan discontinued
operations have caused the Company to revise the prior period
comparative figures, increasing creditors in its discontinued
operation by $606,000 which results in a change in the
comprehensive profit (loss) from a profit of $460,000 to a loss of
$(146,000).
Whilst the comparative figures have been
revised, the Company has concluded that the adjustment is not
material to any of the previously issued consolidated financial
statements. In reaching this conclusion the Company has had regards
to the following: the adjustment is non-cash in nature; it is an
adjustment solely to the discontinued activities of the Company and
increases the liabilities of the discontinued activities from
$17,389 to $17,995 (an immaterial increase of 3%). Furthermore,
there is no impact on the Company’s assessment of going concern nor
on the liquidity of the Company.
