/CNW/ -
Black Mammoth Metals Corporation
(TSXV: BMM)
(OTC: LQRCF)
("Black Mammoth" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce that it has staked
contiguous federal unpatented claims and completed a sampling program at the Company's 100%
owned Big Bear Copper property ("Big Bear"), Northern Star Copper property ("Northern Star") and
Zulu Gold property ("Zulu"), in
Arizona
, collectively ("the Properties"):
Big Bear:
The Big Bear property is in
Gila County, AZ
, at the north-eastern flank of the Mazatzal Mountains,
managed by the U.S. Forestry Service, 12 kms south of the town of
Payson
with good gravel road
access. Historical drilling campaigns in the 1950s through to the 1970s reported oxide copper
mineralization, malachite and azurite, in holes down to approximately
120m
with primary copper
sulphide mineralization, bornite and chalcopyrite, continuing at depth along with some gold and silver
mineralization in several of the historic drill holes.
The historic drill roads and pads at Big Bear still exist exposing outcrops of copper oxide
mineralization. Within the mineralized area at surface, the Company sampled outcrops at the highest
elevation as well as downslope in an attempt to understand the vertical extent of the surface
mineralization referred to in historical reports and other data. The vertical extent of the samples is
74m
(see Table 1 and Figure 1). The widths of the surface mineralization have not been fully verified
by the Company and the true width of the surface mineralized zone is also unknown.
The Company's intended exploration plan at Big Bear includes an induced polarization (IP) survey to
try to locate the primary sulphide mineralization as well as to drill confirm and expand the known
historic oxide mineralized area.

Zulu:
The Zulu property is located 8 kms to the east off the same access road as the Big Bear and hosts
the historical high-grade Zulu underground gold mine. The vein strikes northwesterly across the
property for
1,200m
and is traceable by following mineralized outcrops. It is closely associated with
a porphyry dike that is hosted in a larger diorite intrusive body. An outcropping gold mineralized vein
structure was sampled by the Company (See Table 2 – Sample Z03, 1.8 g/t Au).
There are additional mineralized structures on the property and property-wide exploration is
warranted. The Company's geologists are gathering additional data for the property to assist in
preparing an exploration plan.

Northern Star:
The Northern Star property is in
La Paz County, AZ
, southeast of the Buckskin Mountains, and 43
road kms east of
Parker
; with good gravel road access. Lands in this area are administered by the
Bureau of Land Management. Copper oxide mineralization at surface occurs in a zone with an
approximate
360m
strike trending NE and a dip of about 35 degrees to the east. There are three
shallow pits where a small amount of copper mineralized rock was removed for a heap leach
operation during the 1960's. Copper oxide minerals in the pits include mainly malachite with minor
amounts of azurite (See Table 3 and Figure 2).
Bedrock geology in the project area is primarily a Pre-Cambrian gneiss unit that has been intruded
by a Cretaceous intermediate porphyry as well as much younger Tertiary age andesite dikes.
Overlying the gneiss is a heavily silicified Permian age limestone unit. Numerous copper mineralized
faults are present which have a consistent easterly dip.
Exploration plans are presently being formulated that may include drilling a fence of shallow drill
holes to test the downdip continuance of oxide copper mineralization and to target potential deeper
sulphide mineralization associated with the faults.

Acquisition Terms (in USD):
Black Mammoth optioned 10 federal mining claims that covered the key ground at Big Bear, Zulu
and Northern Star (the "Option") from a private vendor in
March 2024
by making an aggregate of
$75,000
in cash payments (paid). These claims were considered a non-core asset and they are now
100% owned by Black Mammoth.
There are no royalties, work commitment amounts, finder's fees or share compensation in
connection with the Option.
The Company continues to acquire non-core exploration interests in the western US, by purchase
and by staking.

.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control:
All sampling is conducted under the supervision of the Company's project geologists and the
samples are taken to the ALS Laboratory (ALS) in
Reno
or
Elko, Nevada
for preparation and
analysis.
The ALS PREP-31 package is utilized for sample preparation. In this package, each sample is
crushed to better than 70%, passing 2mm, then a 250-gram riffle split is then taken. This split is
pulverized to a target of 85% passing 75microns; and a 30-gram portion of this pulverized split is
digested by Four Acids and analyzed for gold by the Au-ICP 21 method, which is a Fire Assay, with
an ICP-AES (Induced Coupled Plasma) finish. A 41-element suite is also run on the sample using the
ALS ME-MS 41 multielement package. This method utilizes Aqua regia digestion followed by low
detection ICP-MS (Induced Coupled Plasma) finish. Overlimit copper samples were processed using
ALS' OG46 Aqua Regia digestion followed by titration analysis. ALS Laboratories have ISO 9001
and 17025 accreditations. Black Mammoth Metals Corp's QA/QC program includes regular insertion
of CRM standards, duplicates and blanks into the sample stream with a stringent review of all
results. ALS also undertakes their own internal coarse and pulp duplicate analysis to ensure proper
sample preparation and equipment calibration.
