  • The project is located only 12km south of Peak Hill and will be included in planned future scoping and feasibility studies in relation to renewed production from the area.

BOARD:

Denis O’Meara: Chairman Terry Grammer: Non-Exec Ian Cornelius: Non-Exec

Montezuma is pleased to announce that it has successfully negotiated an agreement with Grange Resources Limited to acquire an 85% interest in the granted mining lease M52/801, which contains the Durack gold deposit.

KEY PROJECTS:

PEAK HILL (100%) Gold

Montezuma has agreed to spend $500,000 on exploration and development over the next four years to earn an 85% interest in the licence, which is ideally located to provide satellite resources to any centralised operation at Peak Hill, 12km to the north.

MT. PADBURY (100%) Gold, Manganese, Iron Ore Uranium

Previous workers have identified an Indicated and Inferred gold Resource at Durack of 567,679t @ 2.34 (1.0g/t cutoff, and top-cut of 25 g/t) for a total of 42,659 oz Au . Uncut, the resource grade increases to 3.33 g/t with an increase in total ounces to 60,836.

ROBINSON RANGE (70%) Gold, Uranium

CALLAWA (100%) Copper, Gold

Several exploration targets have been identified within the lease which provide opportunities to add to this additional resource. Montezuma will undertake a detailed internal assessment of these and other target areas before planning the first phase of work to progress the project.

TALGA (90%) Gold, VMS

The acquisition adds to Montezuma’s existing gold Resources at Peak Hill and is an important step to achieving the Company’s stated strategic goal of an initial target gold Resource of 500,000 ounces to underpin it’s plans to recommence production from the gold field.

The gold mineralisation at Durack is associated with pyrite alteration on the margins of steeply dipping quartz veins within a package of intercalated mafic volcanics and sedimentary rocks. The main mineralised zone is broadly concordant with stratigraphy, trending at 130°, dipping sub-vertically to the north-east.

Highlights from the most recent drilling at Durack, completed in 2003 include:

  • 12m @ 15.16g/t Au from 87m (DURC004)

  • 8m @ 11.86g/t Au from 14m (DURC005)

  • 13m @ 4.68g/t Au from 77m (DURC008)

  • 8m @ 2.20g/t Au from 94m (DURC008)

A full breakdown of the existing resources at Durack are outlined in the following table:

The Board is very pleased with this important step in achieving our strategic vision at Peak Hill and looks forward to keeping the market informed as we continue to build the gold inventories at Peak Hill both through exploration and selective acquisitions.
