Brexia Gold Plata Peru (BGPP) is one of the "junior mining companies" in Peru's mining market. The company explores and exploits multimetal deposits (zinc, lead, silver, gold and copper) in one of the most prolific mining belts in South America (Antapaccay, Constancia, Las Bambas), across a mining portfolio spanning 200 km². Its production at the El Santo mine site is delivering robust cash flow, giving it the resources to drive its ambition to pursue promising exploration projects. The majority shareholder, BGPP Brexia International, is administered by one of the biggest investment funds in Latin America, Tribeca Asset Management. This fund manager has extensive experience in managing specialized companies, especially in the valuation of natural resource assets such as, among others, the success of Petrolatina Energy Plc, sold in 2016 to Canadian Gran Tierra Energy. The alliance between BGPP and Auplata (Euronext Growth - FR0010397760 - ALAUP), the largest exchange-listed French gold producer, was signed and sealed when BGPP bought into a capital increase by AUPLATA, - paying €0,5M cash on a 1-for-1 basis at €0.14 per share for 3 571 428 new shares and will be pursued when BGPP enter into a new capital increase by AUPLATA, at par value, which will result from the capital reduction decided by the board and to be voted by the extraordinary general meeting to be held on 2018 July 16th and for which the number of shares will depend on the par value - existing shareholders' preferential rights waived to the benefit of BGPP. As a result of these two capital increase (€0.5M and €4.5M), the composition of the Board of Directors of AUPLATA will change, with the addition of two new members bringing additional expertise:
Didier Tamagno, Chairman & CEO of AUPLATA says: "This transaction is an extremely interesting opportunity for Auplata. BGPP has demonstrated rigorous cost control and production control at its El Santo plant, and has massive exploration expertise. This alliance comes just at the right time, at a point when the Dieu Merci cyanidation plant is about to be delivered. " Luc Gerard, Chairman of Tribeca Asset Management, says: "We are delighted by this alliance with AUPLATA which will extend our presence in one of the main gold producing regions, the "Guiana Belt". We are taking a stake in AUPLATA to consolidate our activities and combine our rigorous management with Auplata's mining potential. We can get our cyanidation plant up and running quickly, which is in its final phase, and launch an exploration program to reveal the potential at Couriège, Yaou and Dieu Merci, and others."
