Arrow Exploration will bring in $5 million USD by selling a 46.9% interest in what it refers to as the the "deeper section" of the block and a 20% interest in the "shallow section."
"This joint venture forms an important part of Frontera's plans to build growth for the future,” said Gabriel de Alba, chairman of the board of directors of Frontera Energy.
Zonte Metals will use the funds for "working capital purposes" and to finance exploration at the Cross Hills Iron Oxide Copper Gold Property in Newfoundland and Labrador.
South American economies "struggle in developing and retaining talent and are characterized by low levels of quality of life and reduced availability of skilled labor."
The results are "helping to verify the upper boundary of the mineral reserve envelope for the Veta Sur system,” said Ari Sussman, CEO of Continental Gold.
Frontera's oil-price hedges have now expired, and it believes that this will be a boon for future earnings as it tries to further move beyond its most trying financial times.
