Share Purchase Plan
Los Cerros is also providing an opportunity for eligible existing shareholders to take part in a share purchase plan at a price of $0.04 per shares to apply for up to $30,000.
Subject to shareholder approval, applicants in the SPP will also receive one free attaching option for every two shares issued.

The SPP will provide an opportunity for all shareholders to increase their holding in Los Cerros and the company progresses its exploration program.
“We thank our shareholders who have supported this placement and welcome new investors to our register,” Managing Director Jason Stirbinskis said.
“With funds to be raised through this placement and SPP, we eagerly look forward to further developing the Quinchia project which includes Tesorito, Chuscal and Miraflores,” he added.
Los Cerros’ Quinchia project is located in central west Columbia, 100 kilometres south of Medellin, and is known for its high grade epithermal and breccia hosted gold and silver.
Money raised will be used to fund exploration and further develop the 10,542 hectare project portfolio.
