The $1.01m cost of La Mojarra is to be paid in cash and shares.

Chief Executive Mark Childs said "an initial assessment of La Mojarra Concession summises that the surface geological features suggest the potential for the discovery of significant buried gold mineralisation".

"Condor will initiate a geophysics programme on La Mojarra and other concessions in La India Project within the next six months," he said.
