Union files complaint against Orla Mining, alleging violation of worker rights in Mexico
The complaint is only the second of its kind made from Canada using CUSMA’s RRM process since the trade deal came into force in 2020.
Troubadour Resources (TSXV: TR) announced that it has entered into an option agreement with 1218802 B.C. LTD., an arm’s length vendor, to acquire a 100% interest in the Texas property in British Columbia, western Canada.
To go ahead with the deal, Troubadour has to pay $85,000 and issue 3 million shares over a two-year period. Upon vesting, the vendor will retain a 1.5% NSR of which Troubadour can purchase 1% for $1 million anytime prior to commencement of commercial production.
The 1,766-hectare Texas project is located in the Greenwood Mining District in Southern BC, in a place known as the Beaverdell mining camp. This area was a centre of extractive operations from the late 1890s to the early 1900s.
“The Beaverdell mining camp is predominately known for its silver production and the presence of high-grade gold occurrences makes the Texas property unique”

According to Troubadour, the property covers ground prospective for vein-hosted precious metal deposits, based on at least seven historical and newly discovered gold occurrences and geological comparisons with the nearby Beaverdell Mine.
The miner reports that several showings are present on the project, including two old mines and many older trenches, pits and adits that expose mineralized veins.
“The Beaverdell mining camp is predominately known for its silver production and the presence of high-grade gold occurrences makes the Texas property unique and significantly more attractive,” Troubadour Resources said in a media statement. “Two recent grab samples from the Doorn vein [at Texas] assayed 241.96 g/t Au and 78.84 g/t Au, 319 g/t Ag and 8% Cu.”
The company also said that it intends to mobilize a field crew in the coming weeks to complete detailed sampling and mapping in preparation for an inaugural drill program that will focus on the Doorn and Cabin targets.
