Cullinan Metals Corp. to Acquire Past Producing Copper Mines

The four projects are located 160 km east of Lisbon and approximately 70 km east of Evora, the district capital. The four projects encompass the past producing Miguel Vacas Copper Mine, the Bugalho Copper Mine, Amagreira Gold prospect, and the Mostardeira Copper-Gold Mine. These projects are recognized to host precious metal and base metal mineralization in shear zones and epithermal systems associated with intra-Ordovician volcanism.

Portugal is known to be one of the safest jurisdictions in the European Union. The country remains among the largest European producers of copper, tungsten, and tin concentrates.

Highlights:

• Miguel Vacas Copper Mine is hosted by Silurian sediments, close to a contact with a lenticular belt of Ordovician rocks including shale, quartzite, and limestone. The mine was closed in 1986, having produced 464,100 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 2.1% copper. The opportunity exists to extend mineralization at depth and along strike for up to 2.2 km.

• Mostardeira Copper Gold MineThe vein system at Mostardeira is hosted by Silurian and Devonian metasediments. The mine operation was focused on a wide (up to 10 meters thick) anastomosing WSW-ESE trending vein system, developed over 700 m long and is open in both directions along strike and at depth. The shear zone was historically mined for Cu, with most of the mining focused on at least two high-grade veins (approx. 2m) with grades of up to 5% Cu. Reliable records on gold production are not available. Channel sampling by Rio Narcea Gold Mines returned values of 18.6 meters grading 0.8 g/t Au, 0.3% Cu, and 20 g/t Ag, including 4.9 meters grading 2.1 g/t Au, 0.76% Cu, and 64 g/t Ag.

• Bugalho Copper-Gold Mine is hosted within Silurian dark grey shales with intercalations of black chert, quartzite, and graphitic phyllites, adjacent to a major NE-SW deep-seated fault zone. Mineralization occurs as chalcopyrite and pyrite within a quartz-carbonate breccia matrix with accessory arsenopyrite with occasionally elevated gold assays. Dump samples of silicified and sheared acid tuffs assayed up to 9.14 g/t Au and 0.35% Cu.

• Amagreira Gold Project is an epithermal gold system where mineralization occurs in altered volcanics and carbonates, controlled by an E-W structure that extends at least 400 meters along strike and is interpreted to be open at depth. Previous drill intercept PAM-1 comprised of 5.45 m of 1.53 g/t Au, including 2.47 m at 2.44 g/t Au. Pam-2, intercepted 17 m of 0.5 g/t Au, including 2 m of 3.7 g/t Au.

Marc Enright-Morin, President of Cullinan commented: "We are pleased to have secured these four projects with multiple opportunities in copper and gold. Portugal offers everything a modern exploration company needs. With copper prices at historic highs and supply and demand deficits plaguing the market, any new supply will be welcomed. "
