Palamina Corp. (PA: TSX.V) is a pure gold exploration company preparing for its inaugural drilling campaign on its high-grade Coasa Gold Project in south eastern Peru. Palamina is also a significant shareholder of Winshear Gold (WINS: TSX.V), who are advancing the Gaban Gold project toward initial drill testing. Palamina is acting as the operator at Gaban for Winshear Gold. Both projects are located in the Puno Orogenic Gold Belt (“POGB”) where a modern-day gold rush is underway. Palamina & Winshear (via Palamina) have first mover advantage in the POGB where surface discoveries of high-grade gold mineralization at both the Coasa and Gaban Gold Projects have led to the identification of sizeable gold systems where neither project has ever been drill tested.

Palamina has received its DIA which permits up to 40 drill pads towards the commencement of a drill program to test the promising Coasa gold system once the rainy season ends. Our equity partner Winshear Gold has begun drill permitting at Gaban following the expansion of the discoveries made by Palamina. Shareholders of Palamina have exposure to two exciting first pass drill programs on high-grade gold projects in the POGB targeting the source of Peru’s modern day gold rush.”
