(OTCBB:DTOR) ("Del Toro" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, on March 18, 2015 Natchez Pass LLC signed a Membership Interest Agreement which provides funds in the amount of $350,000 USD to re-commence operations at the Natchez Pass Gold Property (AKA the "Nick"). Pursuant to the Purchase Option Termination agreement with Natchez Pass LLC executed on June 6, 2013, Del Toro owns a 5% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR") on gold production at the Nick mine, and will receive 5% of the net proceeds from any sale of the Nick to a third party, with a $300,000 minimum return from such sale.
This capital infusion will be used by Natchez Pass LLC to execute a placer testing program, complete mill upgrades, hire a work crew and secure the necessary earth moving equipment to enable placer production operations of the mine. The work plan has been put into action and placer mining is expected to begin within the next 60 days. Members of Del Toro's mining team will consult in the operations.
Del Toro president Greg Painter states "We are excited that Natchez Pass LLC was able to secure financing to begin operations at the Nick. With profitable production, the 5% NSR that Del Toro holds on the mine will provide the Company with a new source of revenue."
