Mammoth Announces Signing of Drill Contract with up to 60% of Cost Payable with Company Shares and Drill Contractor´s Investment into Recently Announced Private Placement

Thomas Atkins, President and CEO of Mammoth commented on this agreement and investment stating: “The Company has built a strong relationship with this drill contractor and the senior executive of this contracting firm, himself having studied and worked as a geologist, upon seeing the potential of the Tenoriba property was keen to consider a structure whereby his firm could assist us in the challenge of raising capital for drilling while at the same time gain some exposure to the success of the drill program and the advancement of exploration at Tenoriba. We think this can be a win-win situation and are very pleased to arrive at such an agreement. Following the field program which is expected to start shortly at Tenoriba and will include trenching and road access and pad construction to facilitate drilling, Mammoth hopes to begin an approximate 2,500 diamond drill program to test various targets on the property. As a result of this agreement with the contractor the Company will be required to raise far less capital in the equity market for this program. We’re equally pleased that the contractor has shown confidence in the Company and the Tenoriba project by investing in the recently announced Private Placement.”
