President and CEO Cathy Zhai said: "The recent results from Tuckanarra, whilst very preliminary, confirm and re-inforce Monument's view that extensive high-grade gold mineralisation remains to be discovered at Burnakura and Gabanintha. This is an exciting outcome as Monument prepares to commence its exploration program for 2021."

The results at Tuckanarra confirm the Company's view that the true potential of the Murchison Project is yet to be defined. Historical mining operations have exploited the shallow high grade gold mineralisation at Burnakura and Gabanintha through both open pit and underground developments. The full depth and strike extent of the mineralisation within these two systems is still to be tested with mineralisation remaining open in many directions at multiple deposits.

The Tuckanarra project is one of three significant land holdings that make up Monument's Murchison Project. Burnakura, Gabanintha and Tuckanarra are within the Archean Meekatharra-Wydgee greenstone belt of the Yilgarn Craton. All have high grade gold potential. Given priority to Burnakura and Gabanintha, 80% of Tuckanarra interest was sold to ODY last December to advance exploration, and Monument remains with 20% free carried interest until a decision to mine is made, plus a 1% net smelter return royalty over Odyssey's 80% interest. ODY has access to Burnakura mill for their production subject to commercial terms.
