/CNW/ - Altiplano Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V:APN) (OTCQB:ALTPF) (FWB:9AJ1) ("

APN

" or the "

Company

")

announces that it has earned a 50% interest in the Comet Joint Venture ("

CJV

").

At Farellon, the CJV has commenced the collection of Copper-Gold-Magnetite mineralized vein material from the Historic Farellon Copper-Gold

Mine in

Chile

. Development of crosscuts towards the Cu-Au vein system was completed by

November 15

and initial bulk sampling commenced

shortly thereafter. To date, the CJV has stockpiled over 200 tonnes of mineralized vein material in preparation for toll milling. The CJV is currently

in discussion with a toll mill to accept delivery of its initial batch of Cu-Au vein material.

CEO

John Williamson

stated, "We are excited to have advanced our initial project to the bulk sampling stage and look forward to the results of the

sale of the initial Copper-Gold-Magnetite mineralized vein material. We expect to collect 2,000 tonnes of mineralized material to evaluate the

projects potential."

As part of its ongoing program, the CJV is carrying out the recommendations contained in the APEX Report of February 10, 2017 filed on

SEDAR for the exploration development of the Farellon project and is also relying upon past production records, underground sampling and

related activities and current diamond drilling to estimate grade and widths of the mineralization. There are no mineral resources or reserves on the

property and the current mineral exploration activities are intended to be part of a program to determine if mineral resources can be identified.
