Exploration Programs Partnerships & JV

Chilean Metals – Tejas Gold JV 

Identifies & Prepares for CastleReagh Drill Program. 

TORONTO, ON. July 10, 2017. Chilean Metals Inc. (“Chilean Metals,” “CMX” or the “Company”) 

(TSX.V: CMX, OTCQB: CMETF, SSE:CMX, MILA:CMX, FRA: IVV1, BER : IVV1).  

Chilean  Metals  Inc  &  Tejas  Gold  Co.  are  excited  to  report  that  the  Bass  River  North  JV  has 

identified (3) High Priority Targets, (8) in Total on its Bass River North Property in Nova Scotia. 

Tejas Gold has launched its summer work program under the direction of Chilean Metals & its 

Technical Committee.  

The  High  Priority  Targets  are  defined  as  (BRN_VT01),  (BRN_VT03)  &  (BRN_VT06).   Minotaur 

Exploration Ltd (Australia) has processed the Geophysics. CDI inversions were conducted on all 

targets in order to better determine the target depth, dip and extent. Three component fixed 

loop ground EM will be executed over these targets as recommended. The Grid definitions are 

below. 

As  the  Ground  PEM  is  being  conducted,  the  Geological  Team  will  be  conducting  geological 

mapping and prospecting in the target area to identify any additional surficial outcrop that may 

assist in target evaluation. 

“We  are  very  excited  to  be  implementing  our  Pre‐Drill  Program  in  Nova  Scotia  on  our  Highly 

Regarded  Bass  River  North  Targets.   This  is  the  culmination  of  many  years  work  including 

Minotaur Australia, Dundee, Cogonov and now our Joint Venture with Chilean Metals Inc.  We 

anxiously  await  the  opportunity  to  finally  drill  the  largest  VTEM  Anomoly  in  Nova  Scotia 

adjacent to a well mineralized system to the southwest states Thomas Comfort, CEO Tejas Gold 

Co.” 

The process of land access and permitting is underway as are discussions with geophysical 

contractors to award the contract. 

“I  believe  many  will  be  surprised  at  the  results  the  Cobequid‐Chedabucto  Fault  Zone  (CCFZ) 

properties will deliver over the next few years. When the Nova Scotia DNR & Minotaur Australia 

re‐defined the CCFZ as a potential IOCG belt, the entire thinking of the area has changed. The 

CCFZ comprises of a series of crustal‐scale faults along a 250km x up to 25km wide that divides 

Nova Scotia into 2 distinct terranes (Avalon & Meguma).  I believe there is the real potential for 

2‐3 deposits discovered in this system in the near term.“ stated Patrick J Cruickshank, President 

& CEO, Chilean Metals Inc.

flank of the Cobequid-Chedabucto Fault Zone (CCFZ); Fox River, Parrsboro, Lynn and Bass River respectively.

Initial targeting and geophysics has been conducted on all properties, At Bass River North, airborne

geophysics identified a major VTEM cluster on trend with the Pb/Zn/Ag mineralization exposed at surface and in

drill holes to the southwest. Modeling of the airborne data by Minotaur Exploration (Australia) identified 3 priority

targets recommended for ground based geophysics prior to drilling.
