Revelo Provides Updates on its Option Agreements with Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) & Teck Resources Chile Ltda.
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 2, 2020) - Revelo Resources Corp. (TSXV: RVL) ("Revelo" or the "Company") reports that its Exploration Option Agreement with Sociedad Quimica Y Minera de Chile S.A. ("SQM"), signed in April 2019, which would have allowed SQM to acquire up to an 80% interest in Revelo's Calvario and Mirador copper projects in Chile, has been terminated by SQM. Both Calvario and Mirador display widespread geological characteristics indicative of the upper parts of possible porphyry copper systems, with Calvario having been the subject of minor historic drill testing. The two projects are contiguous and lie along one of the most prospective mineral belts in northern Chile, which includes major producing copper mines.
The Company also reports that Teck Resources Chile Ltda. ("Teck") has failed to complete the second year expenditures or make a contracted cash payment on the second anniversary related to the Option Agreement signed between the two companies in May 2018 for a portion of Revelo's Cerro Buenos Aires project in Chile, and as a consequence, the agreement has been terminated. Teck completed three 300m reverse circulation holes targeting a magnetic high, which cut sericitic altered volcanics after around 80m of gravel cover, but failed to drill deep enough to explain the source of the magnetic anomaly. The magnetic feature was interpreted to represent a possible prograde porphyry copper centre and remains untested. Cerro Buenos Aires, together with 7 additional Revelo projects, is now subject to a Binding Letter Agreement with West Pacific Ventures Corp. (see news release dated May 19, 2020).
Dr. Demetrius Pohl, Ph.D., Certified Professional Geoscientist (CPG), an independent consultant, is the Company's Qualified Person for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosures for Mineral Projects of the Canadian Securities Administrators and has approved the written disclosure of the technical information contained in this news release.
