DNA Precious Metals Inc. ("DNA" or "the Company") (OTCQB: DNAP) announces that the Company has closed an agreement to acquire the complete geological data resource on the Montauban Mine, in addition to its October 22, 2013 press released "Binding Agreement to acquire an undivided one hundred percent (100%) interest for all of the Montauban Mine Property located in Notre-Dame-de-Montauban, Quebec, Canada".
The geological data, dating from the start of production in 1914 to the last exploration in 2011, consists of over 1000 reports, drill logs, geological maps of near surface deposits, maps of underground mine workings, digital files and a Gemcom modeling of the mine. The acquisition fast tracks the timeline on Montauban and enables DNA to immediately commence a NI 43-101 compliant report on the Montauban Mine, which currently has a non compliant historic near surface resource of over 1M tons of 3.4 g/t Au and approximately 1 ounce per ton silver as well as significant underground potential from this past producer.
"We are excited about the acquisition of the data resource assets due to the potential of the historical mineral resources. Over 1Mt of resource have been identified with historical drilling on the Montaban Mine project, which given its location, geology and metallurgy, could generate value for our shareholders," commented Ronald Mann, President and Chief Executive Officer of DNA Precious Metals. "These assets came to the attention of DNA through our research as we continue to focus on the development of our flagship Montauban Mine Project in Quebec, Canada and as we target updating our current resource estimate to define a mineable resource to bring into production."
