Monterey Minerals Completes Purchase of 100% interest in polymetallic Cobalt Mountain Project in BC
TORONTO, Feb. 21, 2019 - Monterey Minerals Inc. (the “Company” or “Monterey”) (CSE: MREY) is pleased to announce that has completed the purchase of the Cobalt Mountain Project and now owns a 100% undivided interest in the property.
President and CEO, James Macintosh stated “We are excited about the opportunity presented by the Cobalt Mountain Project. The Company is currently reviewing its exploration plans for the project for the remainder of 2019. We believe that after an in-depth review of the historic data on the whole property, by ground geophysics and systematic exploration could identify potential polymetallic porphyry targets.”
This 4,921 hectare (12,160 acre) polymetallic project is located in the Omineca Mining Division of Northwest British Columbia, near Smithers, BC. As per the Option Agreement with the Vendors, detailed in the Company’s NI 43-101 report dated January 10, 2019 (“Jan. 2019 NI 43-101”, www.montereyminerals.com and filed on the company’s SEDAR profile), the Company issued 1.8 million shares to the Vendors.
The following highlights work that was carried out in the fourth quarter of 2018, as reported in Jan. 2019 NI 43-101 report on Cobalt Mountain:
- The program outlined multiple copper (“Cu”) anomalies in both soil and talus fines samples.
- Two areas in particular are:
- the Zante Zone with an area of highly anomalous copper 1,000 metres (“m”) x 200 m with several samples over 1000 ppm Cu
- the Zante South Zone with a 400 m x 500 m Cu soil anomaly. Both areas have partially overlapping Mo Anomalies. - Both Zante Zones have partially overlapping Molybdenum (“Mo”) anomalies.
Previous operators identified multiple Cu/Mo/gold (“Au”) porphyry targets that were not systematically followed up. These include the Corinth Zone – a high grade Cu/Au/silver (“Ag”) zone which could be the possible extension of the historic Sultana Prospect and includes grab samples of 1.5% Cu, 22.5 g/t Ag, and 5.75% Cu, 26 g/t Ag, 0.34 g/t Au.
