Montezuma is pleased to announce that it has successfully negotiated an agreement with Dolphin Resources Pty Ltd to acquire their 10% interest of the Mt Padbury licence E52/1529.
BOARD:
Denis O’Meara: Chairman Terry Grammer: Non-Exec Ian Cornelius: Non-Exec
KEY PROJECTS:
PEAK HILL (100%) Gold
MT. PADBURY (100%) Gold, Manganese, Iron Ore Uranium
ROBINSON RANGE (70%) Gold, Uranium
CALLAWA (100%) Copper, Gold
TALGA (90%) Gold, VMS
In consideration for Dolphin’s remaining interest, Montezuma will issue to Dolphin (or nominee) 400,000 fully paid shares and 100,000 options exercisable at $0.20. The shares and options will be subject to a 12 month voluntary escrow period.
The licence is highly prospective for gold, manganese and iron ore and is a key part of the Company’s Peak Hill portfolio. The Wood Creek gold prospect within the Mt Padbury licence has excellent potential to result in a commercial resource within the context of the Montezuma’s overall strategy of producing gold at the Peak Hill mine, located approximately 40km to the east of the project. Previously released gold results from Wood Creek include:

In addition to the gold potential, the Mt Padbury Project contains approximately 23 strike kilometres of the banded iron and chert sediments that make up the Robinson Range. The sequence is known to host significant iron enrichment with sampling by previous workers highlighting elevated surface iron values in excess of 50% over significant strike lengths, with peak grades of 63% from high-grade haematite mineralisation.

Previous investigations have also highlighted the potential for the Mt Padbury Project to contain significant manganese mineralisation, with surface sampling from several locations returning high grade results including:
| Sample | Zone | Mn % | Fe % | Si % | P % | Al % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MPRK0010 | 1 | 46 | 4.9 | 3.53 | 0.107 | 2.71 |
| MPRK0016 | 4 | 40 | 11.4 | 2.84 | 0.133 | 2.84 |
| MPRK0018 | 3 | 42.9 | 11.8 | 0.6 | 0.03 | 2.8 |
| MPRK0019 | 5 | 40.9 | 13.8 | 0.81 | 0.023 | 2.6 |
| MPRK0020 | 5 | 54.9 | 3.45 | 0.23 | 0.021 | 1.47 |
| MPRK0021 | 5 | 42 | 5.25 | 4.63 | 0.179 | 3.5 |
The completion of this acquisition is an important strategic step in achieving the Company’s core goal of adding to the existing +200,000 oz gold resource base at Peak Hill and producing gold from a stand-alone operation within 3 years, with further upside from the potential of the licence to contain significant manganese and iron ore mineralisation.
