I am still trying to understand what is up with the sale of Cueva Blanca. 2 years ago we sat waiting with bated breath for this moment, and now we have it. $100,000.00 for the sale of a property that had nothing but great potential. We were even told that Buenaventure may be interested in it.

Now it is sold for a fraction of it's worth. Even if the company is short of cash, this amount would barely pay for the office rental for a year. The news release said it was because of the civil unrest and yet the Mayor of Motupe district said in a news article concerning the retreat of Minera Santa Elisa:

The mayor said the population of his district should not feel partial responsibility for the decision of the miner: "Motupe never not opposed to mining, which we ask Santa Elisa always, was that the environmental impact study Who would do but inform the company or companies that would develop the same, and not only receive papers from them with which we should be given by informed, "argued Falla.
"We believe that mining investment is a strong arm of our national economy, we are concerned that an investment is gone, but we can not accept everything without control firms," ​​he said.

So I was looking at a few events that have taken place concerning Cueva Blanca in the past and I'm not sure how, or if, the following has any relevance.

Amarok had an options agreement with CB and for whatever reason it was terminated. I do not know if SLI cancelled it or if Amarok did, some of the following makes me question why any optionee would want to pull out of the agreement:

Amarok Resources (AMOK) Lands Peru Gold:

Stunning Deposits Confirmed at Cueva Blanca

Early exploration produces gold at 131 oz./ton grade in trench

 According to a long-overlooked announcement regarding Amarok Resource's new Cueva Blanca exploration site in Peru, trench samples at Cueva Blanca returned results as high as 3,727 grams per ton in gold... which equates to 8.3 pounds of gold per ton of ore!
With assays this enormous, Amarok's Peruvian gold could be worth billions! You do not want to miss this one!

So now I'm curious about Amarok, who is the CEO of this company. Turns out it is a fellow by the name of Ron Ruskowsky. This name sounded familiar so I googled him and found out he used to be involved in an Alberta company called Trio Gold, which is now run by Harry Ruskowsky

Another familiar name on the past list of directors for Trio Gold is:

Montreal, Quebec, Canada office: Mr. Robert Lachance, Director

I realize none of this has much relevance right now, I'm basically just thinking out loud and trying to wrap my mind around what happened.....and who is the company that bought CB?
