$LDDAF - Low-Float IPO Style Gold Mining Breakout Play $LIDA (LONG)
Lida Resources Inc. (LDDAF)
Canada: (CSE: LIDA)
Alert Price: $0.1625
Float: 45.872M
Recently, Warren Buffett, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Inc . BRK.B , disclosed his quarterly (April-June) 13F filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The portfolio of the legendary investor shows stocks being shuffled. Interest in airline stocks, petroleum companies, restaurant chain and media stocks were cut and stakes were added in supermarket, energy, REIT stocks.
The most intriguing changes to this investment portfolio are the reduction in bank stakes and financial transaction services stocks and a new investment in gold mining stocks.
Buffett indirectly took a shine to gold despite being staunchly against parking his money on it as the yellow metal is considered of low productive value. But the surge in gold price is likely to generate high returns on the gold mining stocks.
One of the most attractive mining stocks in the market right now is Lida Resources Inc. (LDDAF)
The Company Could Skyrocket, as its CEO is a Mining Pioneer who was Once Chairman of a Company that Sold for $500M!
This Canadian mining player only recently started trading on the CSE and has assets exploring gold , silver , lead, and zinc in one of the most prolific countries to mine in: Peru.
Within Latin America, Peru has, perhaps, the greatest untapped potential for new discoveries and production!
Gold and gold related stocks may be the best opportunities around right now...
Many are turning to gold as a safe haven in 2020, due to the global uncertainty surrounding the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic.
This year gold has been on fire!
At $2,052 in the early hours of August 5th, gold had already climbed 35% this year!
In July the metal saw its best monthly gain in YEARS! The 10.3% gain in July marked the best monthly rise since February of 2016, according to FactSet data.
In fact, Gold is — and always has been — the world’s favorite safe-haven. This goes back thousands of years...
Whether there is economic or political upset, war, times of uncertainty, it is usually the precious yellow metal that comes out ahead as #1. The metal's long-term track record has been nothing short of incredible.
As gold prices breached $2,000 an ounce and may continue to march higher, one analyst sees momentum continuing all the way to $2,500 by the time 2020 ends.
E.B. Tucker, director of Metalla Royalty and Streaming and author of “Why Gold , Why Now? The War Against Your Wealth and How to Win It?” said that this current bull rally still has more momentum.
“Normally I would say but what I’m seeing in the daily action is that gold is rising in a very measured way and is not meeting much resistance, so when that’s happening you just step out of the way and let it go, that’s what you do,” Tucker said.
This is the same analyst who correctly called that gold would go to $2,000!
Gold has so far outperformed ALL major assets in 2020.... and the current environment could support gold rising even further...
There may be no better time to pay attention to gold and the companies in the arena than right now when you consider the raging global health crisis, heightened political tension, and economic collapse all bubbling together.
Bank of America forecasted in April that prices could almost double to $3,000 by the end of 2020!
Paul Singer's New-York based Elliott Management, which manages about $40 billion in assets, regarded gold as "one of the most undervalued" assets available earlier this year.
Lida Resources Inc. (LDDAF) may soon gain major recognition being led by a mining genius who was involved with the sale of Norsemont's Constancia Mine to Hudbay for roughly HALF A BILLION DOLLARS!
Lida Resources Inc. (LDDAF) only recently closed its IPO and listing onto the Canadian Securities Exchange which means not too many people may know about the company yet!
This could be to your advantage...
CEO Mr. Leonardo De Melt stated, "I am very pleased to announce the successful completion of our IPO on the CSE and I would like to take this opportunity to thank our existing shareholders for their continuing support and to welcome our new shareholders; this is an exciting and critical phase in the development of our business. The management team and I will now focus on progressing stage one of our two phase exploration program of the San Vincente property.
Peruvian miners are set to restart operations in coming days and ramp up to around 80% of normal production levels within a month according to senior official at the country’s mining industry group who spoke to Reuters back in May.
Miners in the country were currently operating at between 35% and 40% of capacity due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
“We are talking about 39 operations by 22 large mining companies,” De la Flor told Reuters. "These represent approximately 95% of (local) copper production, 65% of silver production, 62% of zinc production and 26% of gold production."
Major global miners including Aluminum Corp of China (601600.SS), MMG Ltd (1208. HK ), Freeport-McMoRan ( FCX .N), Newmont Corp ( NEM .N), Barrick Gold ( ABX .TO) and Southern Copper ( SCCO .N) operate in Peru among others.
Lida Resources Inc. (LDDAF) looks poised to become a notable player with its Peruvian assets and at these share prices, looks heavily under the radar!
There could be significant upside ahead for Lida Resources Inc. (LDDAF) as the stock looks to be a golden ground-floor situation right now!

San Vicente Property
Lida Resources Inc. (LDDAF) has a 100% stake in the San Vicente property in the Alto Chicama Mining District of Trujillo, Peru.
The development metals and minerals are:Lead, Silver , and Zinc
The San Vicente Property is located approximately 120 kilometres east of the coastal city of Trujillo, Peru in the district of Agallpampa, Province of Otuzco in the department of La Libertad.
Access to the Property is 70 kilometres by paved road to the community of Otuzco and then a combination of gravel and clay roads to Chota where the Property is located.
Otuzco and the community of San Vicente Bajo La Union, which is in close proximity to the property, are capable of providing basic services and amenities in the support of mineral exploration activities.
The Property is located in the occidental part of the Tertiary Volcanic Belt of the Western Cordillera and is underlain by rocks of the Calipuy Formation, a precious and base metals metallotects formation found in Peru. The Calipuy Formationis the product of post tectonic volcanism in the Cordillera region.
It represents the effusive magmatism that followed the final emplacement of the Costal Batholith. At the San Vicente Property, the Calipuy Formation consists of andesite as a massive greenish grey fine to intermediate grained rock with local millimetric sized feldspathic phenocrystals and Andesite tuff which is greenish grey to purple in color with a fine grained matrix.
Lida Resources Inc. (LDDAF) has an agreement in place with the local community ( San Vicente Bajo La Union) for surface rights of 2,500 metres surrounding the mine opening.
The agreement gives Lida a permit for surface use for a period of 20 years. The rest of the surface rights are held by the communities of San Vicente Bajo La Union and San Vicente Alto La Union.
The majority of the ground in the Concession is controlled by San Vicente Bajo La Union. The company is in discussions to obtain further surface rights from the community of San Vicente Bajo La Union so that a new mine access can be forged approximately 80 metres below the current level.
Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography
The San Vicente Property is situated in the upper part of the Moche river basin at altitudes that vary between 3,100 metres to 3,400 metres above sea level. The topography consists of moderate relief, ranging from hilly to flat. The slopes are typically covered with small brush and grasses which constitute natural pasture. Trees (predominantly eucalyptus) can be found growing in all areas and vegetables are grown through subsistence farming.
From Trujillo, the Property is accessed via the districts of Laredo, Samne and Agallpampa to the town of Chota. From Chota, an unpaved two kilometre long road leads to the Property. It takes approximately two hours to travel from Trujillo to the Property.
Access to the San Vicente Property is considered good along the paved road that leads to Otuzco; however, after Otuzco the road is of poor quality.
The Property is located in a moderately populated area where small villages are scattered within the landscape.
As the San Vicente Property is situated approximately 10,000 feet above sea level, crops are restricted to potatoes, vegetables and some cereals. Climatically, the region is characterized by dry and cold temperatures between May to October while from November to April, the climate is warmer with frequent rain. Exploration and surface activities can get disrupted during the rainy season.
There is 220 volts of electricity installed at the Property. Larger voltage installations power other projects in the area and could be extended to the San Vicente Property mine when and if necessary. Water is readily available all year around from streams that run through the Property. However, to date this water has not been used in the extraction process.
The closest big players and mines to the project area are:
Quiruvilca - a very large mine with narrow veins that tend to have extensive lateral and vertical continuity within various structure types.
Barricks' Luganas Norte - a world class high sulfide mine. In 2010, the mine produced 808k ounces of gold at total cash costs of $182 per ounce. The proven and probably gold reserves were then 6.6 million ounces!
Trinity Mining Holding AG - another interesting area close to the property is the Caupar project. Recoveries of gold and silver , as demonstrated by bottle roll tests conducted by Kappes, Cassiday & Associates, are high: more than than 80% for gold and in the range of 65% for silver (when above 10 g/t in content). The Caupar property covers an area of 3,000 hectares and tying on to it are properties owned by Barrick and Goldfield .
Mineralization
Various areas of mineralization exist within the Concession. The main mineralized areas identified to date are comprised of a series of closely spaced narrow veins that strike Northeast-Southwest.
These veins have been mined along the strike for approximately 75 metres on the 100 level of the mine and the veins can be traced intermittently on the surface over a total distance of 825 metres.
Of all the mineralized structures identified at the San Vicente Property to date, only three are described in detail within the Technical Report, these are the mineralized structures that have been cut with exploration drives in the mine.
The three structures are: (i) MZ1; (ii) MZ2; and MZ3. The three mineralized structures are located within a plagioclase porphyritic sub-volcanic andesite member of the Tertiary Lower Calipuy Group of volcanic rocks. MZ4 was encountered in January of 2011 and is also described in this section as it appears to be gold bearing, unlike the other base metal veins.
The Property is located within a well known Miocene Oligocene epithermal silver and gold metallogenic belt in Northern Peru. The Yanacocha, Lagunas Norte andQuiruyilca mines are world class deposits located within this belt. Based on the current geological knowledge of the San Vicente Property, the mineralization fits the igneous hosted poly metallic veins of silver , lead, zinc and gold deposit types.
Recent Developments
In June, Lida Resources Inc. (LDDAF) announced that it had entered into two agreements to acquire 400 hectares which encompass the Quiruvilca mine. While several million has been spent on this property, the total acquisition cost to the Company was $200,000 with no further obligations.
The mine is located at an elevation of 3,800 meters in the Andes Mountains of Northern Peru, approximately 80 miles inland from the coastal city of Trujillo, Peru in the district of Agallpampa, Province of Otuzco.
The Property is located in the occidental part of the Tertiary Volcanic Belt of the Western Cordillera and is underlain by rocks of the Calipuy Formation, a precious and base metals metallotects formation found in Peru. The Calipuy Formation is the product of post tectonic volcanism in the Cordillera region.
Quiruvilca Mine
Quiruvilca is one of Peru's oldest mines with mineralization first reported in the area in 1789.
Mining at a corporate level started in 1907 and more or less until 1930 or so. The Quiruvilca Mine has been in continuous operation since about 1940 until 2018 and was initially, focused on the silver bearing veins on the property. In 1967, the mill started to treat complex ores producing silver , lead and zinc concentrate. In 1995, Pan American acquired an 80% interest in the Quiruvilca Mine and increased their interest to 99.7% by 1996.
The workings are extensive, spread out over a wide area, in many veins. Currently, grades run at about 150 g/t silver , 4% zinc, 1.5% lead and 0.5% copper . Stoping has taken place in, reportedly, 60 places. Considering the 1,725 tons/per/day that the mine can process, that is a lot of small stopes! The underground working places are accessed by several adits/ramps and one shaft. Ore is moved to surface, primarily, by one long conveyor belt system but also supplemented by rail movement from ore passes plus skip-hoisted ore.
The Quiruvilca deposits are in layered volcanic rocks of the Miocene Calipuy Formation which includes andesite and minor basalt flows. The Calipuy formations have an estimated thickness in excess of 2,000m. Intrusive rocks include andesite stocks and dykes. The ore zones have four distinct zones. Ores in the central part of the district are mesothermal and are dominated by enargite.
The mesothermal deposits grade outward to the epithermal deposits. Lewis (1956) described the various zones in some detail. The inner zone is called the Enargite Zone and, in the past, encompassed the major part of the Quiruvilca Mine.
Little mining is done in that zone today. Minerals associated with the enargite in this zone are pyrite tennantite, wurtzite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, orpiment, galena and rare hutcinsonite. The second zone outwards is the Transition Zone which is up to 1,400m wide.
Its dominant ore mineral is sphalerite with pyrite and tennatite-tetrahedrite. Other sulphides include chalcopyrite, galena, marcasite, arsenopyrite, covellite and wurtzite. Gangue minerals are mostly massive quartz and occasional rhodochrosite and calcite. The third zone outward is the epithermal Lead-Zinc Zone characterized by sphalerite and galena accompanied by pyrite, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite-tennantite, marcasite, arsenopyrite and gratonite. Gangue minerals in the lead zinc zone are quartz, dolomite, rhodochrosite and calcite.
The outermost zone is the Stibnite zone. In addition to stibnite, the other minerals there are arsenopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite and arsenic.
Leonard De Melt, CEO of Lida stated:
"This transaction is an important consolidation of land in an important part of Peru. The San Vicente mine was in production of gold and silver concentrate until 2011. The Quiruvilca Mine is only 6 miles away from the Company's San Vincente Property and we feel that mineralized zones connect the two properties. I feel that the large near massive sulphide copper rich zone near the bottom of the Quiruvilca mine has excellent potential and I believe this structure had a 2.5km potential that had only a few drill holes into it. I believe this combined project would potentially make an excellent exploration/ resource build project that could return to mining with some key investment and management. Our goal is the completely change the mining methodology. The 2.5km gold / copper sulfides zone requires infill drilling to prove out tonnage. Our objective is to change from a vein type silver mine profile to a high tonnage gold / copper mine profile."
Lida Resources Inc. (LDDAF) also announced in July that it has staked 2,500 hectares in the vicinity of its San Vincente Property and the recently acquired Quiruvilca Mine Property.
The Company's San Vincente Property, Quiruvilca Mine Property and additional ground (the "Property") are all located in the Quiruvilca District, Santiago de Chuco Province, La Libertad, Peru.
"We are very pleased to pick up additional ground in this area. This is a very prolific gold / silver / copper property. We are adjacent to the Barrick Gold Lagunas Norte mine. We want to consolidate our land position in the vicinity of Quiravila Mine. Our objective is to change from a vein type silver mine profile to a high tonnage gold / copper mine profile", stated Len De Melt, CEO .
At the peak during its initial 80-year mine life the Quiruvilca Mine was mining the narrow veins at 3,000 tons per day. The mine was mining at 1,000 tons per day when it closed down!

The Bottom Line
Lida Resources Inc. (LDDAF) is fresh to the scene on the Canadian Stock Exchange and may soon be catching major attention with its mining endeavors in Peru!
With a CEO leading the way who has been a part of a mine sale at $500 million, anything could be possible here….
Gold , silver , zinc, and lead are all expected to head higher as the level of uncertainty related to the coronavirus is unprecedented.
With gold exploding, looking at junior gold explorers may be next best thing next to owning physical gold .
Last year gold's price soared nearly 20%, making it the best year for the precious metal in a decade. This year, the metal is up way past that, and the year isn't even over!
The price of gold has traded to fresh yearly highs during every single month so far this year!
The COVID-19 pandemic is having a devastating effect on the global economy and with so much uncertainty, investors are embracing the precious metal as a key portfolio hedging strategy.
"The upward momentum in gold and silver is still fairly solid at this stage because there's a lack of interest in other asset classes; many factors of the economy are still struggling," Bank of China International analyst Xiao Fu recently said.
Gold is often looked at as a safe haven many think the metal will head a lot higher. The metal thrives in an uncertain atmosphere and with this year also being an election year, the sky could be the limit.
One grand prediction comes from Frank Holmes, the CEO of US Global Investors, who believes gold's true value is as high as $10,000!
The biggest gold enthusiast in Canada is the legendary mining billionaire Eric Sprott who is known for his interest in junior gold miners. Sprott believes these companies could be on the verge of striking the motherlode!
He has said that gold equities are "the investment opportunity of lifetime,” adding that he fully expects gold to almost double in value in the next year.
With an economic recession, metals may be a safe haven for months to come and mining companies such as Lida Resources Inc. (LDDAF) could be hitting the spotlight!
Lida Resources Inc. (LDDAF) could become one of the next big mining players and may be at ground-floor entrance levels right now!!By Viewing this Content, you Agree that you Have Read and are in Full Understanding of both our Disclaimer & Privacy Policy(*Remember to use a Stop-Loss Order to protect your gains, as well as limit possible losses.)
