About Glencairn
Glencairn is a growing junior gold producer with operating mines, development projects and exploration projects in Central America. The Bellavista Mine in Costa Rica is in the midst of its first full year of operation, while its Limon Mine in Nicaragua, acquired by Glencairn in late 2003, has been in continuous production since 1941. This year, Glencairn acquired a third mining operation, the La Libertad mine, also in Nicaragua, and 60% of the Cerro Quema advanced gold project in Panama. It also recently acquired the Mestiza gold property only 70 kilometres by road from the Limon mine. The Company’s focus is to entrench sound mining practices at each of its mines to establish a firm base of quality operations and, with its commitment to growth, continue to seek out opportunities for mergers and acquisitions.
