Vendetta Mobilizing for 2017 Pegmont Exploration and Announces a $3.0 Million
Financing
Vancouver, BC – April 10th , 2017 − Vendetta Mining Corp. (VTT-TSX: V ) (“Vendetta” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce it is mobilizing for the start of its 2017 exploration program on the
Pegmont Lead-Zinc project in Queensland, Australia and a private placement of $3.0 million.
The Company also wishes to advise an updated NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate is expected within
the next 4 weeks. The new Resource will incorporate 13,500 metres of drilling, a revised geological
model and recent metallurgical results.
Private Placement
Pursuant to the financing, the Company plans to issue up to 15 million units at $0.20 per unit to raise
gross proceeds of $3.0 million (subject to TSX Venture Approval). Each unit will comprise one common
share and one half common share purchase warrant at an exercise price of $0.3 0 for a peri od of two
years following the closing of the financing. All Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offering will be
subject to a four-month hold period under applicable securities laws in Canada. All or a portion of this
placement could be subject to finder’s fees or commissions.
The net proceeds of the private placement will be used to advance the development of the Pegmont
Lead-Zinc Sulphide project as detailed below.
Resource Development Program
The 2017 drill program will include about 12,000 metres of resource development drilling. Drilling is
scheduled to commence during May, 2017.
The resource development drilling program at the Pegmont Lead-Zinc project will focus on three areas:
1. Drill test the high grade, near surface “Z” fold underground target, with the goal of adding to the
Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resources;
2. Continue to add additional Inferred Mineral Resources in the high zinc grade Zone 5; and
3. Drill test data “gaps” in the mineral resource in Zones 1 and 2 open pit target area.
The metallurgical program will continue with representative sulphide mineralization from holes in Zones
1, 2 and the Z fold being selected for flotation and comminution test work. Flotation test work on Zones
5 and the BHZ have produced separate lead and zinc concentrates using open cycle flotation ( see
Vendetta News Release VTT2017 – NR#1).
Selected resource development holes in the Zones 1 and 2 open pit target area will also be used for
geotechnical logging and test work to determine pit slope design angles. Base line groundwater data
collection will also commence.
Regional Exploration
The 2017 program will commence on the 12th April with an EM survey over the copper discovery made
in 2016. A regional exploration RC hole (PVR040) intersected 3.0 m of 3.21% Cu and 0.57g/t Au from
113 m down hole (see Vendetta News Release VTT2016 – NR#8). Coarse chalcopyrite mineralization
was intersected in a silica altered pegmatite, similar in style to the n earby Osborne – Kulthor Copper-
Gold deposits. Dependent upon results of the EM survey a drilling program will be designed to further
test the copper-gold target.
In addition to the above an exploration drilling program will be conducted to test for repeti tions of the
Burke Hinge Zone mineralization along the 2.2 km fold structure located to the north of Pegmont. Follow
up on two intersections at the Bonanza target and investigate two syncline targets either side of the Burke
Hinge Zone, fold structures such as these can focus remobilised sulphide mineralisation.
About Pegmont
The Pegmont lead-zinc-silver deposit is located in North West Queensland Mineral Province, 175 km
south-east of the major mining centre of Mount Isa, and 25 km west of South32’s world class Cannington
silver-lead-zinc operation and 28 km north of Chinova Resources’ Osborne and Kulthor copper -gold
operations. It is proximate to infrastructure including roads, rail, and natural gas for power generation.
Pegmont is a multiple lens, s tratiform Broken Hill style deposit that outcrops with an overall shallow
dip to the south east and is hosted in a magnetite rich banded iron formation within high grade
metamorphic rocks. The Company has, through its programs confirmed Zone 5 is an area of higher grade
zinc and multiple mineralized horizons. The project consists of three granted mining leases and two
exploration permits that cover an area of approximately 3,468 ha.
