ACQUISITION OF DATABASE ENABLES
FAST TRACKING OF NICKEL-GOLD-LITHIUM TARGET GENERATION AT LAKE JOHNSTON
Montezuma Mining Company Ltd ("Montezuma" or "Company") is pleased to announce that it has acquired an extensive exploration database for the Lake Johnston area from Hannans Ltd ("Hannans") (ASX:HNR).
The database will enable Montezuma to fast track nickel-gold-lithium
targeting at Lake Johnston, located west of Norseman in Western Australia.
The Lake Johnston database includes a comprehensive compilation of data relating to both historical exploration as well as more recent programmes completed over Montezuma's Lake Johnston Project which adjoins tenure held by Poseidon Nickel Ltd (ASX:POS).
The database includes geochemical, geophysical and drilling data which will allow Montezuma to accelerate target definition activies at Lake Johnston, where the Company is targeting economic accumulations of nickel, gold and lithium.
In consideration for the sale and purchase of the database, Montezuma has granted Hannans a 15% interest in Montezuma's Lake Johnston Project and any tenements applied for or acquired within an agreed area of interest at Lake Johnston for the next two years.
Hannans' 15% interest will be free carried to a decision to mine, at which point Hannans may elect to contribute or revert to a 1% net smelter royalty.
