Montego announces Taylor Property work exploration program

VANCOUVER, March 15, 2018 /CNW/ - Montego Resources Inc. (CSE: MY) (the "Company" or "Montego") is pleased to announce a 2018 planned scope of work exploration program on their Taylor Silver Property (Property) located in White Pine County Nevada. The 2018 scope of work will be committed in two phases with Phase 2 yet to be defined and based on the progress and results from the Phase 1 program.

The Phase 1 program on the Taylor Silver Project will consist of  RC drilling, property scale detailed mapping, soil sampling and, initiation of a re-assay for gold program on select stored rejects and pulps from drill holes previously sampled for silver only.

Work on the project will begin by Mid-March.

Drilling will most likely take place in early to mid-June and targets will be located on Montego's patented claims within the Taylor Silver Project. Drilling on patented claims do not require the detailed BLM drill permitting process required on unpatented claims. Phase 1 drilling will be designed to test zones for gold and silver mineralization continuous with already defined mineralization and to test zones for mineralisation outside the defined mineralized envelope as well as along deep high angle structures.

Detailed property scale mapping and soil sampling will build upon the work completed work by previous operator Silver Predator and highlight both high angle structures and lineament intersections for deep drilling target evaluation. Soil sampling will continue as a property scale tool to outline silver and gold mineralization not already drilled.

Re-sampling of stored pulps and rejects from select drill holes within the mineralized (Ag) envelope will serve to evaluate and develop the importance of gold in the system. A significant amount of those stored samples were sampled for silver only and Monetgo will begin the process of assaying for gold.

Highlights of the Taylor project include:

• Established mineral tenure and permitting procedures in a politically stable jurisdiction.
• Historic resource.
• Favourable stratigraphy for a Carlin gold system including decalcification, silicification, Jasperoids, high angle N-NNW structures, silty Devonian carbonates ( Guilmette Formation) and local felsic intrusions cutting all stratigraphy.
• Previous drilling results by Silver Predator show strong gold and or silver mineralization in drill hole assays near surface.
• Strong database and geological expertise.
• Already defined mineralization.
• Excellent infrastructure and highway access, 24 kilometres southeast of Ely, Nevada.
