Duluth Metals expands exploration land holdings in the Duluth Complex

TORONTO, June 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Duluth Metals Limited ("Duluth
Metals") (TSX: DM) (TSX:DM.U) is pleased to announce the successful
acquisition of 3,353 acres by way of nine prospective mineral leases from the
State of Minnesota. The new acquisitions include 3,161 acres of matching
surface rights. This newly-leased acreage is within the Duluth Complex and
located in Lake County, Minnesota. These strategic lands were acquired for
future exploration for copper, nickel, and precious metal mineralization
and/or for strategic planning and infrastructure purposes.
The new acquisitions are located 21 kilometers (13 miles) south of the Nokomis
Deposit and 13 kilometers (8 miles) south-east of the Dunka Property. The
Cascade Properties (as they are known) potentially overlie the southern extent
of the South Kawishiwi Intrusion as it is cross-cut by the base of the
Greenwood Lake Intrusion. The property has potential for contact-type
copper-PGE mineralization. The Nokomis Deposit has a NI 43-101 compliant
Indicated Resource of 449 million tonnes grading 0.624% copper, 0.199% nickel,
0.600 grams per tonne of TPM (TPM = Platinum+Palladium+Gold), as well as 284
million tonnes of Inferred Resources grading 0.627% copper, 0.194% nickel,
0.718 grams per tonne of TPM. (For reference, the Nokomis Property totals
3,001 acres.)
These new land acquisitions bring the current mineral rights and exploration
holdings of Duluth Metals to approximately 18,656 acres and 13,990 acres of
surface rights, making it the largest mineral rights holder of prospective
copper-nickel-PGM lands in Minnesota. Duluth Metals also has pending State and
Federal lease applications, which if awarded, would more than double the
current holdings.
A map showing the newly acquired land parcels along with the existing Nokomis
Property can be viewed on our website at www.duluthmetals.com along with this
press release.
The Company also confirms that the new NI 43-101 Resource Study by Scott
Wilson RPA has commenced incorporating an additional 48 vertical drill holes
and 67 wedge holes.
David Oliver, P. Geo. and Duluth Project Manager is the Qualified Person, in
accordance with NI 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, and is
responsible for the technical content of this press release and quality
assurance of the exploration data and analytical results.
