MILLROCK ACQUIRES OPTION ON EL PICACHO GOLD
PROJECT, IN AN ALLIANCE ARRANGEMENT WITH
CENTERRA GOLD, SONORA STATE, MEXICO
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, June 8th, 2017 - Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MRO)
("Millrock") announces it has entered an option agreement to purchase the El Picacho project.
The project consists of district-scale concessions that cover approximately 6,300 hectares,
located in Sonora State, Mexico, 18 kilometres southwest of the San Francisco Gold Mine which
is operated by Alio Gold Inc. The target is an orogenic gold deposit of similar scope to that
present at San Francisco. The project was identified to Centerra Gold Inc. (“Centerra”) by
Millrock, and Centerra has agreed that El Picacho will become a “designated project” under the
terms of the strategic alliance agreement (“Alliance”) in place between the companies. The
Alliance was announced here in early 2017. Centerra has provisionally approved a US$460,000
exploration budget for 2017 for the El Picacho project.
Gregory A. Beischer, President & CEO commented: “One of the senior members of Millrock’s
Mexico exploration team is highly familiar with the San Francisco Gold Mine. In comparison to
San Francisco, he reports many similarities in the rocks and structures exposed on the El
Picacho project. This is the first designated project to come out of our Alliance with Centerra
and we look forward to working on this project with them”.
At El Picacho Jurassic rocks are juxtaposed in a thrust fault relationship with much older
Precambrian age rocks. Structural relationships, alteration, and mineralization discovered to
date all indicate favorable conditions for the formation of an orogenic gold deposit similar in
geologic style to the prolific gold mines of the La Herradura district to the northwest, or to the
nearby San Francisco Gold Mine.
Millrock has an option to purchase a 100% interest in the mineral estate. To complete the
purchase US$1,723,500 in option payments are due over a four-year period. An initial payment
of US$21,375 has been made. Seven equal option payments of US$21,375 will be due at six-
month intervals. A final option payment of US$1,552,000 would be made to complete the
purchase of the mineral rights. Millrock, with Centerra concurrence, may withdraw from the
option agreement at any time.
Centerra Gold has the option to earn an 80% interest in El Picacho by making exploration and
other expenditures of US$2.0 million. Millrock’s team will execute the exploration work and be
entitled to a modest management fee. At vesting, a joint venture will be formed, Millrock may
