**YAMARNA

PROJECT:
(MZM
100%)**

**Geochemical

Aircore
Drilling**

Montezuma
Mining
Company
Ltd
(“Montezuma”
or
“Company”)
announced
during
the
quarter
the
results
from further
geochemical
aircore
drilling
at
the
Company’s
100%
owned
Yamarna
Project.
This
work
significantly
extended the
basement
gold
anomaly
at
the
Jatz
Prospect
with
gold
grades up
to
12.1
g/t
gold
returned
(see
figure
1,
significant results
are
presented
below
in
table
1).

The
drilling
to
date
at
Jatz
has
tested
only
a
small
part
of
what
is
now
interpreted
as
a
target
corridor
approximately 5km
in
strike
length
and
up
to
2km
in
width,
containing
greenstone
rocks
with
demonstrated
potential
for
high
grade Archean
gold
mineralisation.

The
latest
programme
has
extended
the
high
grade
basement
geochemical
signature to
at
least
1km
in
strike
at
over 0.5
g/t
(500ppb)
gold
.
The
anomaly
is
coherent
and
strikes
in
a
north
westerly
direction
and
appears
to
be strengthening
to
the
north.
Mineralisation
is
open
to
the
north
and
west.

Heritage
clearances
have
been
received
and
drilling
to
extend
the
Jatz
geochemical
anomaly
to
the
north
has commenced.

In
addition
to
extending
the
bedrock
gold
target
at
Jatz,
the
current
round
of
drilling
will
also
provide
broad
spaced regional
baseline
geochemical
and
geological
data
on
an
800m
X
100m
spacing,
with
the
aim
of
generating
additonal targets
(see
figures
2
and
3).

It
is
important
to
note
that,
to
date,
the
main
tool
used
to
generate
targets
has
been
regional
soil
geochemical sampling.
A
better
understanding
of
the
geology
at
Yamarna
from
previous
phases
of
work
has
confirmed
multiple additional
geological/structural
targets
which
remain
untested.
The
drilling
programme
now
underway
will
provide
a first
pass
geochemical
and
geological
dataset
to
assist
in
the
target
definition
process.

CORPORATE

During
the
Quarter,
the
Company
continued
its
ongoing
capital
management
strategy
by
investing
an
additional $1M
in
Danakali
Ltd
(“Danakali”)
by
participating
in
a
recent
capital
raising
undertaken
by
Danakali
to
raise approximately
$5.5M
at
an
issue
price
of
$0.22
per
share
with
a
one
for
two
attached
option
exercisable
at
$0.35 with
a
two
year
expiry[1] .

This
increases
the
Company’s
investment
in
Danakali
to
approximately
7.5M
shares
and
2.3M
options.
The Company
believes
that
the
world
class
Colluli
Potash
Project
has
been
de-­‐risked
through
the
release
of
a
robust definitive
feasibility
study
late
in
2015,
is
attractively
valued
at
the
placement
price
and
is
favourably
positioned for
growth
with
the
potential
for
strong
capital

The
information
in
this
report
that
relates
to
Exploration
Results,
Mineral
Resources
and
Mineral
Reserves
is
based
on
information
compiled by
Mr
Bradley
Drabsch
who
is
a
member
of
the
Australasian
Institute
of
Mining
and
Metallurgy.
At
the
time
that
the
Exploration
Results, Mineral
Resources
and
Mineral
Reserves
were
compiled,
Mr
Drabsch
was
an
employee
of
Montezuma
Mining
Company
Ltd.
Mr
Drabsch
is
a geologist
and
has
sufficient
experience
which
is
relevant
to
the
style
of
mineralisation
and
type
of
deposit
under
consideration
and
to
the activity
which
he
is
undertaking
to
qualify
as
a
Competent
Person
as
defined
in
the
2012
edition
of
the
‘Australasian
Code
for
Reporting
of Exploration
Results,
Mineral
Resources
and
Ore
Reserves’.

Mr
Drabsch
or
anentity
related
to
or
controlled
by
Mr
Drabsch
holds
options
over
fully
paid
shares
in
the
Company
at
thte
time
of
this
report. Mr
Drabsch
consents
to
the
inclusion
of
this
information
in
the
form
and
context
in
which
it
appears
in
this
report.

In
accordance
with
Listing
Rule
5.23.2,
the
Company
confirms
in
the
subsequent
public
report
that
it
is
not
aware
of
any
new
information
or data
that
materially
affects
the
information
included
in
the
relevant
market
announcement
and,
in
the
case
of
estimates
of
mineral
resources or
ore
reserves,
that
all
material
assumptions
and
technical
parameters
underpinning
the
estimates
in
the
relevant
market
announcement continue
to
apply
and
have
not
materially
changed.

Please
note
with
regard
to
exploration
targets,
the
potential
quantity
and
grade
is
conceptual
in
nature,
that
there
has
been
insufficient exploration
to
define
a
Mineral
Resource
and
that
it
is
uncertain
if
further
exploration
will
result
in
the
determination
of
a
Mineral
Resource.
