LATIN AMERICA ROUNDUP — Aronos expands Sonora holdings

Two additional purchases of claims have been made by Aronos Multinational (CDN) adjoining the company’s gold exploration property in the Mexican state of Sonora.

The company, which recently completed a first-phase drilling program, says its new claims expand its holdings to the south and to the east. The new property is subject to a 5% royalty which Aronos may purchase for $500,000 or 500,000 shares at its option. Also, Aronos is required to pay a third party fee of $500,000 (which it says it may satisfy through the issuance of 500,000 shares).
