Monument Exploration Drilling Program Underway at Peranggih
Vancouver, B.C., March 05, 2018, Monument Mining Limited (TSX-V: MMY and FSE: D7Q1) “Monument” or
the “Company” is pleased to announce that it has commenced an infill and extension drilling program at the
Peranggih Gold Prospect (“the 2018 drilling program”), located approximately 10 km North of the Selinsing Gold
Mine (Figure 1).
Figure 1 – Location of the Peranggih Area in relation to Selinsing Property and gold plant.
The 2018 drilling program is designed to follow up a recently completed 5m x 5m close spaced RAB drilling
program at an historic mining site (“the 2017 drilling program”) , of which encourag ing drill results were
announced in November 2017. The 2017 drilling program has successfully delineated a zone of higher grade gold
material at Peranggih North area by testing 150m strike length x 80m width of the mineralization.
The 2018 drilling program includes 700m Diamond Drilling (DD) from 16 drill holes infill drilling and 2,800m
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling from 52 drill holes extension drilling. All designed exploration drill holes are
inclined and dipping 60 degrees to the west (azimuth 270 degrees), aiming to intercept the mineralization as close
as possible of a perpendicular intercept. Drill depths are ranging from 20m to 90m.
The infill drilling with spacing of 20m x 20m to 20m x 40m, or locally 10m x 10m in an identified high grade gold
area, is designed to further test strike and down dip extensions of the identified high grade mineralization at
Peranggih North, to test continuity of the mineralization, and to verify extension down dip and along the strike for
other zones being trenched and drilled previously including Peranggih South, North 114 and NW. The location of

the planned drill holes in relation to the four zones is shown in Figure 2.

Through these detailing works, the in-fill drilling is targeting to delineate Indicated Resources at the areas where
the initial internal interpretation has been completed based on sparse regional drilling and trenching.
The extension drilling with spacing of 50m x 100m is planned to understand mineralization structure and to identify
regional exploration target s on and between the four areas within the same Peranggih oxide system based on
previous exploration work.
Results from the current drill program will be progressively announced as assays are received and the continuity
of the mineralization is interpreted.
The Peranggih Prospect has been identified as a new Gold Field that has the potential to host a significant
mineralized hydrothermal breccia system. It has 1.2 km strike length with width varying from 25m to 50m, and
depth from 40m to 70m. The mineralization occurs in the same regional shearing structure hosting Selinsing and
Buffalo Reef deposits.
Roger Stangler, Chief Managing Geologist of the Company, MEng, MAusIMM, MAIG, has prepared, reviewed,
supervised the preparation and approved the scientific and technical disclosure in this news release as a Qualified
Person under NI43-101 standards.
