VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/03/17 -- Revelo Resources Corp. ("Revelo" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: RVL) announces that its joint venture partner, Minera Newmont (Chile) Ltda. ("Newmont"), a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation (NYSE: NEM), has elected to withdraw from the Montezuma copper project ("Montezuma") in northern Chile and return its earned interest to Revelo in exchange for a perpetual 1% NSR Royalty interest in the project. As a result of signing definitive documentation to this effect, Revelo, consequently, owns 100% of the Montezuma project.
Tim Beale, President and CEO of Revelo, commented: "We are grateful to Newmont for their efforts exploring the Montezuma project. Revelo will focus its efforts over the next calendar quarter to fully understand and reinterpret the extensive database of information available for Montezuma, including re-logging drill core and drill chips, in order to redefine targets for further work. We remain convinced that Montezuma has a series of exciting targets located in the heart of one of the world's principal porphyry copper districts."
