Mustang Minerals Corporation - Corporate Update
17.10.2016 | FSCwire
Toronto - Mustang Minerals Corp. (TSXV:MUM) (“Mustang” or the “Company”) today provided a corporate update on its activities.The Company has completed several transactions in order to improve its working capital position. The cash position of the company as at June 30, 2016 was $647,000 although the working capital deficit remained significant at ($622,000) after accounting for liabilities associated with the CRA audit. The sale of the mill equipment announced May 16, 2016 (which closed June 30) involved three of the four grinding mills owned by the Company. The Company has also received proceeds from the sale of certain non-core mining claims in Ontario and Manitoba. The Company continues to look for opportunities to improve its working capital position through non-core asset divestments.
The Company has noted the steady improvement in nickel prices over the past several months. While Mustangs’ Makwa-Mayville property requires higher metal prices than currently exist to meet benchmarks for economic development the current trend in metal prices is positive.
Exploration The Company’s most recent geophysical program at the Mayville Property consisted of surface pulse EM and outlined two targets. The interpreted “Keel” area of the Mayville Deposit extending at depth was further defined and is interpreted as the depth extension of the higher grade core of the Mayville Deposit. A second anomaly was confirmed at the Mayville South area of the property by the EM survey. Both targets are to be subject of further exploration when a new exploration program resumes at Mayville. Further exploration at depth underneath or proximal to the Makwa Nickel Property is also considered warranted, in particular for the source of high grade nickel-copper-pgm massive sulphides found intermittently on the property in association with the Makwa Nickel Deposit.
