Mogotes Metals Inc. ( (TSE:MOG) ) just unveiled an update.

Mogotes Metals Inc. has signed an option-to-joint-venture agreement with Rio Tinto subsidiary Kennecott Exploration Company over the Copper Cliff gold-copper porphyry project in Montana, securing access to a large, underexplored land package in a historic mining district. The project benefits from an existing Rio Tinto drill database that includes long, mineralized intercepts and an exploration target defined over a vertical extent of about 1,000 metres and a projected surface footprint of roughly 450 by 300 metres.

Under the deal, Mogotes can earn up to a 60% interest in Copper Cliff by funding up to US$56 million in staged exploration expenditures, with at least 70% of early spending directed to drilling, and an initial US$4 million commitment in the first year. The company highlights that Copper Cliff’s northern-hemisphere field season is countercyclical to its Filo Sur project, positioning Mogotes for continuous, year-round exploration and news flow while leveraging Rio Tinto’s prior discovery work to potentially expand the known porphyry mineralization and enhance its portfolio of tier-one copper-gold targets.
