Colombia Goldfields Reports Update on Mineral Rights, Drilling and Social Program at Marmato Mountain
- Announces Third Quarter 2007 Financial Results -
(All amounts are reported in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated)
TORONTO, ON, NOVEMBER 13, 2007: Colombia Goldfields Ltd. (the “Company”) (TSX: GOL / OTCBB: CGDF) today announced its quarterly update on the mineral rights acquisition and drilling programs, as well as a status report on the progress of the social programs in the Marmato district. It also announced the unaudited results for the three month period ending September 30, 2007. During the third quarter of 2007, the Company continued to make progress towards its objective of consolidating ownership and defining a bulk-mineable ore body in the Marmato region of Colombia. Specifically, the Company increased its mineral ownership rights total during the quarter to 99 legally registered mines from existing Colombian titleholders with 3 additional mines purchased subsequent to the end of the quarter.
At the close of the third quarter, the Company had 4 drills operating at Marmato Mountain with a fifth drill in transit. From the inception of drilling through September 30, 2007, a total of 5,700 meters have been drilled. Subsequent to the close of the quarter, an additional 3,000 meters were drilled. The total number of holes drilled to date is 42. This drilling program represents the first portion of the larger 60,000-meter drill program planned for Marmato Mountain to be completed by the end of 2008. The objective of the initial program is to convert the Company’s 5.3 million ounce historical inferred resource to a NI 43.101-compliant measured, indicated and inferred resource by Q1 2008. Micon International, the Company’s Toronto based consulting firm, is currently on site initiating this work.
During the quarter, the Company also provided an update on the Caramanta Exploration Project which surrounds its Marmato Mountain Development Project in Colombia. The Company had acquired an additional exploration property and carried out sampling programs that have defined a cluster of five distinct gold targets within the 32,000 hectares surrounding Marmato. The largest of the anomalies is Oro Fino, eight kilometers north of Marmato, where the Company has defined a large porphyry anomaly of coincident gold, copper and molybdenum in rock outcrop and soil samples. The other epithermal anomalies are El Salto, Pacora, Campana and San Bartolomé. An airborne magnetic and radiometric survey is planned to start before year-end to cover all of the Company’s mining titles in the Caramanta and Marmato areas, including the Marmato Gold Development Project and the Oro Fino, El Salto, Pacora and other exploration targets. This will be followed by initial diamond drilling programs on Oro Fino and at El Salto.
Social Program Update
During the third quarter, the Company established a Revolving Credit Fund, called CODESSMA, to be funded partially by the Company, to begin the process of creating new business opportunities in the Marmato area. These business opportunities were determined through a series of community meeting with the local residents. By the end of September three new projects had been approved. They were for coffee growing, a chicken farm, and a new cafeteria. The Company´s social consultants, CASE, began several new projects, including training of 30 women, in conjunction with the Department of Caldas and with SENA (the Colombian Government Vocational Training arm), to produce uniforms for the company and for other groups in the area. Another program, in conjunction with the Salamanca Company, will train 5 women to provide a catering service for the company. The Company was in the process of identifying 10 families to develop organic nurseries for the Environmental Restoration projects and for the Reforestation in the Marmato area. Studies were ongoing to determine the feasibility of cultivating higuerilla (produces castor oil) to produce bio diesel.
Unaudited results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007
Operations during the three-month period ending September 30, 2007 resulted in a loss of $3.9 million or $0.06 per share, compared to a loss of $1.9 million or $0.04 per share for the same period of 2006. The operating loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was mainly driven by mineral property exploration costs of $2.5 million (of which $216,426 relates to non-cash stock-based compensation) and general and administrative expenses of $1.6 million (of which $532,545 relates to non-cash stock-based compensation), along with a foreign exchange loss of $371,964.
Total assets at September 30, 2007 totaled $61.6 million, including mineral and exploration properties and rights of $57.4 million and cash and cash equivalents of $1.9 million, compared with total assets of $45.0 million at December 31, 2006. As of September 30, 2007, stockholders equity was $45.7 million, compared to $29.2 million at December 31, 2006.
Transactions
The Company closed a Private Placement on August 14, 2007. This financing was arranged by Evergreen Capital Corporation Sarl of Geneva, Switzerland, which had the exclusive mandate to arrange the financing and was the lead placing agent, assisted by several other sub-agents in Europe. The offering consisted of 8,483,000 units at CDN$1.40 per unit to a total of 24 investors. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and one-half warrant (the “warrant”) for a total of 8,483,000 common shares and 4,241,500 warrants issued. The total gross proceeds raised were CDN$11,876,200. Each warrant is exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of CDN$1.85 and the warrants are exercisable for 12 months following the closing of the offering. The warrant also requires the holder to exercise, upon notice from the Company, in the event that during any fifteen consecutive trading days, the common stock of the Company closes at or above CDN$2.25 on a recognized North American stock exchange.
The syndicate's fees for arranging the financing were 6% of the gross cash proceeds (CDN$712,572) and agents' warrants equivalent to 6.0% of the number of shares issued (508,980 agents’ warrants), exercisable for 36 months at CDN$1.40.
During the third quarter, the Company acquired the final 10% of RNC (Colombia) Limited. As consideration for the acquisition of the final 10% interest, Investcol was paid $300,000 and the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock.
At September 30, 2007, the corporate structure included 77.3 million outstanding common shares, 12.2 million warrants (weighted average price $2.15) and 4.1 million options (weighted average price $1.22); as a result, as at September 30, 2007, the Company would have 93.6 million shares outstanding in the event all outstanding warrants and options are exercised.
Listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange
During the quarter, the Company also accomplished one of its major goals for 2007 by listing its common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol GOL.
“The third quarter was a very successful quarter for us for many reasons. We were able to increase the number of mineral ownership rights, advance both our drilling and social programs at the Marmato site and also dramatically expand our exploration targets,” said J. Randy Martin, Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman. “In addition to the swift advancement of our projects, we also made successful corporate strides throughout the quarter as we completed our most recent financing and were able to list the Company’s shares on the TSX.”
Events Subsequent to the Close of the Quarter
On October 15, 2007, the Company announced that it had expanded its management team naming by Thomas (“Tom”) W. Lough as President of the Company.
Mr. Lough joined the Company with 27 years of experience in the mining industry, 12 of which were in Latin America. Concurrent with Mr. Lough’s appointment, J. Randy Martin, CEO of the Company, was elected as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The Company also has announced that an in independent committee of the Board has been formed to elect a Chairman. The Board expects to announce its selection in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. Mr. Martin has assumed the responsibilities of interim Chairman since the passing of Harry Hopmeyer in November of 2006.
As of the end of October 2007, twelve months of baseline environmental data had been collected with the baseline environmental report expected in early-2008.
