(\"\n \n Monumental\n \n \" or the \"\n \n Company\n \n \") (TSXV: MNRL) (FSE: BE5) (OTCQB: MNMRF) is pleased to provide an update on exploration at the Jemi rare earth element (REE) project (the \"\n \n Project\n \n \") located in\n \n Coahuila, Mexico\n \n , about 40 km south of the\n \n Texas, USA\n \n border. Recent work has included mapping, lithogoechemistry, rock and stream sediment sampling.\n \n \n A four-month exploration program was completed at Jemi from\n \n August 2022\n \n , with the objective to reduce the search space from approximately 800 hectares, as defined by an airborne radiometric and magnetic survey (see press release dated\n \n May 3, 2022\n \n ), to the delineation of discreet drill targets. The program, which focused on the Jemi Dykes and Veladora North areas known to host peralkaline intrusion related REE mineralization, consisted of detailed geological mapping, regional stream sediment sampling, ground radiometric geophysical surveys, and lithogeochemical sampling.\n \n \n To date, 37 whole-rock analytical results from rocks collected at the Jemi Dykes area have been received while results for 269 samples from Jemi Dykes and Veladora North areas are pending. Of the 37 samples, 11 (eleven) returned values greater than 0.15% total rare earth oxide (TREO\n \n 1\n \n ), including 6 samples that returned values greater than 0.23% TREO\n \n 1\n \n and up to 0.43% TREO\n \n 1\n \n (22KRP004) (\n \n Table 1\n \n ).\n \n \n Heavy rare earth oxide (HREO\n \n 2\n \n ) values (include dysprosium ...
