Monterey Minerals Inc. Provides Corporate Update
TORONTO, April 14, 2021 - Monterey Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "Monterey") (CSE:MREY) and (FSE:2DK) provides a corporate update pertaining to the Company's exploration strategy at the wholly-owned Alicia gold and base metals project in Alicia Municipality, Philippines ("Alicia Project"). Monterey's Board of Directors has decided that the Company will not continue exploration work at the Alicia Project and as such, have reached an agreement with the original property vendor (the "Vendor") to return the Alicia Project back to the Vendor, in return for the extinguishment of all liabilities due to the Vendor and the Vendor's assumption of all future liabilities associated with the Alicia project.
Chairman of the Board of Monterey Minerals, Guy Le Page, stated: "While we completed a comprehensive drilling program that successfully tested the primary epithermal targets at Alicia, gold mineralization did not replicate near surface grades to justify further exploratory work."
The Company will now shift its focus to its wholly owned Cobalt Mountain Project in British Columbia, Canada.
