RC DRILLING PROGRAMME COMMENCES ON MULTIPLE BUTCHERBIRD COPPER TARGETS

  • Previously completed IP, Aeromagnetic and EM surveys highlighted numerous priority copper/cobalt targets over approximately 6km of strike of the Butcherbird shear zone.

  • RC Drilling programme comprising approximately 3 - 5,000m has commenced to test these target areas for mineralisation.

  • • Programme will also follow up copper sulphide mineralisation intersected beneath the Butcherbird Copper Mine.

Montezuma Mining Company Ltd (“Montezuma” or “Company”) is pleased to advise that RC drilling has commenced at several priority copper targets within the Company’s 100% owned Butcherbird Manganese/Copper Project. The targets were highlighted by the recently completed ground IP geophysical survey in addition to previously acquired aeromagnetic and airborne EM data.

The geophysical anomalies lie within a >6km striking corridor along or adjacent to the Butcherbird shear zone. Previously reconnaissance drilling by Montezuma at one location along this shear zone confirmed the presence of significant copper sulphide mineralisation with best results from the previous programme including 18m @ 0.63% Cu and 859ppm Co from 154m (including 1m @ 2.43% Cu and 0.55% Co) and 10m @ 0.82% Cu and 581ppm Co from 180m (including 3m @ 1.94% Cu and 0.12% Co) in hole 10BBC0014.

The current drilling program comprises approximately 25 holes for 3,500m, spread over multiple targets areas along the prospective corridor.

An Aboriginal Area Survey clearance has been completed over the main target areas which will allow the Company to expand the scope of the programme with early exploration success.

If the planned reconnaissance programme further confirms the occurrence of copper sulphides along the shear zone, the Company is of the view that this may represent a significant new discovery and further resources will be brought to bear to accelerate exploration for copper within the project.
