BUTCHERBIRD COPPER EXTENDED TO >600m STRIKE

 Best results from the first stage of the rain interrupted programme include: BBRC00220 6m @ 2.00% Cu from 114m and; 9m @ 1.10% Cu from 127m BBRC00223 5m @ 3.50% Cu from 236m BBRC00218 1m @ 3.28% Cu from 112m and; 13m @ 0.60% Cu from 119m

  • Results received to date have extended the known strike of high grade copper mineralisation to over 600m .

  • BBRC00220 is the eastern most hole completed to date, with mineralisation open in all directions .

  • Drilling has recommenced and is ongoing.

Montezuma Mining Company Ltd (“Montezuma” or “Company”) is pleased to advise that drilling has further extended the strike of copper mineralisation at the Company’s 100% owned Butcherbird Project.

RC Drilling to date has confirmed that the high grade copper mineralisation discovered in 2011 extends over at least 600m in strike and remains open along strike and at depth. Mineralisation widths and grades generally appear to improve with depth.

Mineralisation occurs in a number of lithologically and structurally controlled positions within a >6km striking corridor along or adjacent to the Butcherbird shear zone. Previously drilling by Montezuma has established the presence of significant copper sulphide mineralisation and subsequent work has now confirmed the discovery as a significant copper mineralised system with excellent upside potential.

Prior to the rain event which temporarily disrupted drilling, ten RC Drillholes were completed for 2,112m.

Notably, the best intersection from the recent programme, BBRC00220, is the easternmost hole completed to date.

Work was interrupted by cyclonic activity during March 2012, and therefore only partial results have been received from the currently planned programme or work. The drilling and field crews have now remobilised to site and recommenced drilling with approximately 2,000m remaining to be completed in the currently planned programme, with further holes being planned.

In the interim, detailed geological and structural analysis of results to date will commence to better understand the distribution of copper mineralisation within the highly prospective Butcherbird shear zone in order to optimise the targeting of the next round of drilling.

Follow up work is likely to comprise a programme of extensional drilling as well as an infill programme to better define the geometry and geological controls on mineralisation within the system. Additionally, sporadic lead and zinc anomalism has been identified in certain zones and this will be investigated as a possible pathfinder to high grade copper mineralisation.
