(TSXV: MT) (FSE: XOVN.F) (\"M3 Metals\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report that its initial sampling program at the Mohave Mine Gold Project (\"Mohave\" or the \"Property\") has identified high-grade gold values over an area of approximately 10 square kilometres (see Figure 3 below). Gold mineralization has been identified across the entire project area and is associated with quartz-calcite veins, breccia, quartz and/or calcite sheeted veins, and stockworking. Samples ranged up to 78 gpt (grams per tonne) gold over 1.5 metres from surface chip sampling (See Figure 3 and Table 1 below). Results grading above 3 gpt are outlined in the Table 1. below, the full list of results is available on the Mohave Project page on M3 Metals website at https://www.m3metalscorp.com/projects/gold-project/mohave-gold-mine-project.Appreciable gold values were detected in almost every zone sampled during this initial program which may collectively be a part of a large and robust low-sulfidation, epithermal system. The current geological model at the Mohave project indicates that the epithermal gold system was emplaced into an evolving volcanic/intrusive complex within a north-trending corridor undergoing extreme extension. Evidence of ore-fluid boiling is widely observed and locally well-developed lattice texture (bladed calcite) is present. Images from the program including sample mineralization style and textures are available on the Mohave project page on M3 Metals website https://m3metalscorp.com/projects/gold-project/mohave-gold-mineproject/initiail-sampling-program-photos​.Three styles of mineralization were observed during this initial program: Compact intra-mineral tectonic breccia developed along low-angle faults; Low-angle quartz-chalcedony-calcite veins and breccia (banding and lattice texture are widespread) developed in extensional zones; and Quartz-chalcedony sheeted veins and stockwork (mostly in porphyritic dacite flows) surrounding the above structural lenses or 'damage zones'.When all three mineral styles are observed together, the overall mineralized package may attain in excess of 50 meters in width. M3 Metals is currently planning a follow up program that will c...
