Patagonia Gold has acquired the remaining land surface rights of its main gold and silver project through its wholly-owned subsidiary Minera Minamalu.

El Tranquilo also contains the bonanza grade gold and silver deposit, where an underground mining operation is in preparation to begin in the first quarter of 2012, together with numerous other highly prospective gold and silver areas.
