Palamina Corp. (PA:TSX.V) has completed a preliminary review of five prospective gold project areas in the department of Puno, Peru, staked by the Company in January of 2017. Palamina’s primary focus has been to acquire land positions in the Puno Orogenic Gold Belt (POGB), as identified by small-scale and informal hard-rock mining operations. The targeted projects have never been subject to systematic exploration or drill testing. In order to execute on its plan, Palamina has also assembled an experienced geological team with collectively over 27 years of experience in the POGB.

Palamina Corp. (PA:TSX.V) has incorporated a 100% owned Peruvian subsidiary, Palamina S.A.C. On January 19, 2017, Palamina S.A.C. acquired the application mining rights to 23,000 hectares within the Department of Puno in southeast Peru north of Lake Titicaca. The application rights were acquired to establish a presence in a highly prospective auriferous belt which measures approximately 175 kilometres by 75 kilometres. The gold belt is bordered by Bolivia to the east and the Madre de Dios region to the north, and contains numerous orogenic gold showings. Palamina, in the belief that this region has considerable potential to contain significant orogenic gold deposits, has acquired the rights to five mining concessions within the belt.
