TriMetals puts Bolivia arbitration behind it, shifts focus to US project

TSX-listed TriMetals is gearing up to focus all its effort and attention on exploring and further developing the mineral resources at its project in the top mining jurisdictions of Utah and Nevada, following the completion of an arbitration process involving the 2012 expropriation of a project in Bolivia.

An international arbitration court in November last year, ordered Bolivia to provide compensation to TriMetals subsidiary South American Silver of $18.7-million, and $9-million in interest, for the expropriation of the Malku Khota silver project.
