(TSX-V:APN) (OTCQB:ALTPF) (FWB:9AJ1) (\"APN\" or the \"Company\") announces that it has earned a 50% interest in the Comet Joint Venture (\"CJV\"). \n\n\n \n \n\n \nAt Farellon, the CJV has commenced the collection of Copper-Gold-Magnetite mineralized vein material from the Historic Farellon Copper-Gold Mine in Chile.
