FURTHER COPPER RESULTS EXTEND MINERALISED STRIKE TO 250m - REMAINS OPEN

  • Further results received from recent copper drilling at Butcherbird confirms copper mineralisation over 250m of strike.

  • Best results include: BBRC0172 3m @ 3.42% Cu from 92m BBRC0174 2m @ 3.66% Cu from 63m BBRC0175 2m @ 4.74% Cu from 102m

  • Further drilling currently being planned to follow up on strong results to date.

Montezuma Mining Company Ltd (“Montezuma” or “Company”) is pleased to advise that the further assay results from the recently completed RC drilling programme at the Company’s 100% owned Butcherbird Copper Project have returned further high grade copper results.

The results have confirmed significant copper mineralisation associated with the Butcherbird Shear Zone over a strike of at least 250m, within a broader prospective corridor striking in excess of 6km within the Company’s tenure.

Significant anomalism in hole BBRC0159 approximately 2km from the discovery hole BBRC00153 provides further encouragement for the regional potential over and above the continued success from the drilling around the immediate discovery.

These results follow on from the results in hole BBRC0153 which returned 61m @ 1.96% copper from 113m. Previous drilling by the Company 130m west of BBRC0153 along this shear zone initially confirmed the presence of copper sulphide mineralisation with results including 18m @ 0.63% Cu and 859ppm Co from 154m and 10m @ 0.82% Cu and 581ppm Co from 180m (including 3m @ 1.94% Cu and 0.12% Co) in hole 10BBC0014. It is considered the mineralisation is open along strike and at depth within a >6km striking corridor.

Holes (BBRC0169, BBRC0170 and BBRC0171) returned no significant results. The discovery intersection in BBRC0153 was previously reported as approximating true width based on the available geological and geophysical information. With the lack of similar results in BBRC0171, more drilling will now be required to confirm the orientation of this zone of high grade mineralisation.

Further drilling is being planned and will be commenced as soon as a suitable drilling rig can be mobilised to site.
