CASCADERO COPPER CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
COMMENCEMENT OF CESIUM EXTRACTION PROGRAM ON TARON MINERAL SAMPLES
AND INTENTION TO EXTEND WARRANT EXPIRY DATE
North Vancouver, BC, Canada, March17, 2023 – Cascadero Copper Corporation (“ Cascadero”
or the “Company”) (TSXV:CCD) announces that it has commenced a laboratory testing program
at the University of British Columbia on mineral samples from the Taron (Argentina) deposit.
The Cascadero Copper Corporation Cesium Extraction Process (United States Patent
10,738,370, August 11, 2020) uses acid extraction to dissolve cesium from the Taron
mineralization. Cesium is then precipitated from solution as a cesium alum with the addition of
aluminum sulfate. The cesium alum is then recrystallized and purified to form a cesium hydroxide
solution. Cesium hydroxide is a pre-cursor for manufacture of cesium salts, including cesium
formate for drilling fluid (for oil and gas drilling).
The objective of the testing program is to investigate acid leaching of cesium with the goal of
minimizing the acid usage per unit of cesium extraction and recovering dissolved cesium from
solution. The testing will last three months. The test results from this program will be used to
complete an engineering scoping study on the recovery of cesium from the Taron mineralization.
The Company also announces that it intends, subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture
Exchange, to extend the expiry date of the warrants that were issued on April 1, 2021 to purchase
a total of 14,285,714 common shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.05 per share (the
“Warrants”) from 24 months from the date of issuance to 48 months from the date of issuance.
Once the expiry date extension is accepted by the TSX Venture Exchange, the new expiry date
for the Warrants will be April 1, 2025.
