(\"\n \n Monumental\n \n \" or the \"\n \n Company\n \n \") (TSXV: MNRL) (FSE: BE5) (OTCQB: MNMRF) is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling at the Jemi rare earth element (REE) project (the \"\n \n Project\n \n \") in\n \n Coahuila, Mexico\n \n , about 40 km south of the\n \n Texas, USA\n \n border.\n \n \n A diamond drill rig from Globexplore Drilling SA is now aligned on the first drill target (Figure 1), on the Veladora North prospect area within Monumental's claims. The drilling will test areas with high concentrations of REE-mineralized dykes and sills at the surface, and the Company's REE deposit model for Jemi. The model was developed based on detailed geological mapping, regional stream sediment sampling, ground radiometric geophysical surveys, and lithogeochemical sampling (see Company's news release dated\n \n April 4, 2023\n \n ) and suggests a mineralized REE layered intrusion (source of the dykes and sills) exists at a depth of less than\n \n 300 m\n \n . Monumental is planning to test a total of 6 drill targets to approximately\n \n 300 m\n \n each during this maiden campaign.\n \n \n The Jemi project is characterized by broad areas of peralkaline intrusion-related REE mineralized dykes and sills at the margins of the\n \n La Vasca\n \n igneous complex. These intrusive bodies contain high grades of heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) dysprosium (Dy) and terbium (Tb), light rare earth elements (LREEs) neodymium (Nd) and...
