FURTHER RESULTS EXTEND DISCOVERY INTERSECTION - ENDING IN MINERALISATION

  • Further results received from recent copper drilling at Butcherbird extends Cu mineralisation and increases grade.

  • Total intersection of 61m @ 1.96% Cu and 228ppm Co from 113m, including 6m @ 6.08% Cu and 631ppm Co .

  • Drillhole ends in 0.46% Cu, mineralisation open in all directions.

  • Drilling ~300m along strike from discovery hole returns 83m @ 0.43% Cu from 118m including 3m @ 4.15% Cu .

  • Further drilling has commenced to confirm the orientation of the zone and to test the depth and strike extent.

Montezuma Mining Company Ltd (“Montezuma” or “Company”) is pleased to advise that the second round of 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.

Complete assays have now been received for hole BBRC0153 which intersected a total of 61m of continuous copper mineralisation from 113m averaging 1.96% Cu and 228ppm Co. The mineralisation remains open, ending in 0.46% copper. A higher grade interval of 6m @ 6.08% Cu and 631 ppm Co occurs at the top of the mineralised zone.

Notably, the results for the last 14m of the hole were generally of a higher tenor, averaging 2.44% Cu, increasing the overall average grade of the discovery intersection.

Several holes (BBRC00159, BBRC00161-BBRC00167) testing separate reconnaissance geophysical targets returned no significant copper or cobalt results, however non-copper sulphide minerals may be present and multi element analyses including the PGE suite of elements are still pending. Only copper, cobalt and nickel results have been received to date for this latest round of results.

It is considered the mineralisation is open along strike and at depth within a >6km striking corridor. 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.

Further results from the remaining holes as well as results from the current drilling will be released as they come to hand.
