Mammoth Signs Surface Rights Agreements, Permitting Drilling at Its Tenoriba Property, Mexico

Mammoth Resources Corp. would like to announce that it has signed surface rights agreements that will permit drilling on its Tenoriba precious metal property in the prolific Sierra Madre Precious metal belt, Mexico. The agreements are with two ejidos (an ejido is a communal municipal governance committee which has stewardship over surface land usage); the Baborigame ejido and the Santa Rosa ejido, boundaries of which each cover a portion of the Tenoriba property. In the case of the Santa Rosa ejido and Baborigame, respectively and are renewable on equal terms for periods to be determined, by votes in favour of such extension and terms of extension, at the time of such votes. In the case of Santa Rosa ejido, the surface right agreement was originally signed on April 13, 2014 and is for a term of three years, requires payment of Mexican Peso (MN $) 10,000 (approximately US$800) every six months and is renewable for a second three year period with the same general terms, subject to a new ejido assembly vote and can be cancelled at Mammoth’s convenience. In the case of the Baborigame ejido, the surface right agreement was signed on July 20, 2014 and is presently in the process of being notarized. The agreement is for a term of two years, requires payment of MN $15,000 (approximately US$1,200) every six months and is renewable for an additional year period with the same general terms, subject to a new ejido assembly vote and can be cancelled at Mammoth’s convenience. The difference in amounts to each ejido is on the basis of the amount of ejido property existing on the Tenoriba property and population of each ejido community.

Mexus Gold US announced today that it has signed an agreement with North Pacific Gold Inc. for cable salvage, surveying, and mapping of off shore cable in the State of Alaska.

Mexus will contribute support, knowledge, and stored cable equipment to North Pacific.

Freeport-McMoRan Reports Second-Quarter and Six-Month 2014 Results

James R. Moffett, Chairman of the Board; Richard C. Adkerson, Vice Chairman, and FCX President and Chief Executive Officer; and James C. Flores, Vice Chairman, and FM O&G President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our second-quarter results reflect continued strong operating performance in our North America, South America and Africa mining operations and from our oil and gas operations, partly offset by the effects of reduced output from Indonesia. We are encouraged by our discussions with the Indonesian government toward reaching a near-term agreement to enable resumption of PT Freeport Indonesia’s copper concentrate exports. During the quarter, we completed a $3.1 billion sale of our Eagle Ford shale assets and acquired additional interests in our Deepwater Gulf of Mexico focus area. We also commenced copper production from our expanded Morenci operation and achieved important progress in our mining and oil and gas development projects to provide future growth in production, cash flows and attractive investment returns. We remain focused on our opportunities to increase value for shareholders through the development of our large resource base, effective management of our operations, prudent capital and balance sheet management, and providing attractive cash returns to shareholders.”
