Corporate
In line with the Company’s growth strategy to utilise Montezuma’s strong cash position to build a diversified resource asset base, a number of potential investment and acquisition opportunities were reviewed during the quarter ended 30 September 2014.
In line with the Company’s stated ambition to acquire a near term production asset, there is continued effort to actively target tenement acquisition within Western Australia and selected low risk overseas jurisdictions where compelling geology and early mover advantage presents potential favourable opportunities.

MZM Quarterly Report September 2014
Yamarna Gold Project (100%)
During the quarter the Company attended a meeting with Central Desert Native Title Services (CDNTS) on 3 September 2014 to be advised that the next (and final) meeting of the Yilka native title claimants for the year will take place at the Cosmo Newbery Community on 19 November 2014. At this meeting the Company will discuss a potential agreement for both of Montezuma’s tenement applications within the Yilka claim area (E 38/2691 and E 8/2889).
The Yamarna Belt is historically underexplored and highly prospective for gold mineralisation. It has a current reported Mineral Resource by Gold Road Resources Limited of 5.1 million ounces of gold[1] and hosts a number of significant new discoveries. The Company’s tenements overlay granitic intrusives and porphyries within mafics, felsics and sediments along strike from the noted recent discoveries.
The only previous exploration on Montezuma’s tenure has been recorded by Western Mining Corporation (WMC) in 1997, and includes 377 soil geochemical samples on a 1600m x 200m grid and in filled to 400m x 200m around areas of gold anomalism.
A total of 36 samples record Au greater than 5ppb (anomalously high) and the highest result recorded was noted to be 22ppb. These anomalous results highlight a cluster of 5 roughly linear zones, overlying granitic intrusives and their respective contact areas. The size and shapes of theses clusters are roughly similar in scale to the RAB interface anomalies defined by Gold Road Resources Limited at their Gruyere, Toto and YAM14 Au prospects to the immediate NW of ELA 38/2889.
Follow-up work is planned by the Company after the tenement is granted. This work will initially involve ground truthing these historic samples, leading into eventual drilling of selected gold targets.

Woodie Woodie West (75%)
A comprehensive geological assessment has been undertaken over E45/3548 to identify the most suitable exploration tool for target definition. Depth of cover, working knowledge of local rock types, an understanding of manganese mineralisation style, along with familiarity with proven exploration techniques have indicated that Dipole Dipole Induced Polarisation (DDIP) geophysics be utilised.
GPX Surveys, a company that specialises in airborne and ground geophysics have been engaged to undertake the DDIP survey, commencing in early November 2014. The work and subsequent analysis will

take approximately two weeks and will assist in finalising drill targets. Once the appropriate heritage
clearances have been gained Montezuma will seek to secure the services of a drilling contractor to
immediately drill the defined targets.
