VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 28, 2024 / Highlander Silver Corp. (CSE:HSLV) (the "Company" or "Highlander Silver") announces that the closing of the share purchase agreement dated November 29, 2023 (the "Share Purchase Agreement") with SSR Mining Inc. ("SSR Mining") to acquire the San Luis gold-silver project (the "San Luis Project") located in Ancash Department of central Peru (the "Transaction") is now expected to occur in Q2 2024, as opposed to in Q1 2024 as was stated in the Company's news release dated November 30, 2023.
The short delay in timing for closing is related to routine closing mechanics including various local jurisdiction administrative filings and registrations, and is expected to finalize during May, 2024.
David Fincham, President and CEO commented: "While I'm sure our stakeholders are as eager as we are to close this transformational transaction so we can begin unlocking the value at San Luis, our team is busy using the time to work on verifying and updating the historical mineral resource estimate. We look forward to providing further updates over the coming weeks."
