VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct. 20, 2014) - Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MRO) ("Millrock") announces that it has entered into a letter of intent with a third party in respect of the Rio Sonora project in northern Sonora, Mexico, pursuant to which the third party will fund a $250,000 initial exploration program and may subsequently earn into a joint venture on the project. The program, which is already underway, will consist of regional geochemical sampling, geological mapping, prospecting, modelling of existing airborne magnetic and ZTEM surveys, and a report documenting activities, results and drill target recommendations.
Gregory Beischer, President & CEO of Millrock, stated, "We are pleased to be able to advance this project with a new partnership, our first since purchasing Pembrook Mexico Holdings Corp. - now known as Millrock Mexico Holdings Corp. - in June of this year".
The target sought at the Rio Sonora project is a large-scale porphyry copper/molybdenum deposit. The project is located near the town of Arizpe in northern Sonora State, Mexico mid-way between the long-producing Cananea and La Caridad copper mines. Porphyry copper/molybdenum deposits in this area occur along a discrete linear trend that extends from Sacaton in Arizona through Silver Bell and the Pima district to Cananea and La Caridad in Mexico. Deposit clusters along this trend show a remarkably even spacing of 65 to 70 km, except between Cananea and La Caridad which are located approximately 120 km apart. Exploration at Rio Sonora is partially based on the concept that there may be a third buried copper/molybdenum porphyry deposit located halfway between Cananea and La Caridad. Airborne magnetic and ZTEM anomalies indicate the possibility of a mineralized copper-bearing porphyry buried beneath cover on the property. The initial exploration program will help discriminate these anomalies and develop targets for drill testing.
The technical information within this document has been reviewed and approved by Gregory A. Beischer, President & CEO of Millrock. Mr. Beischer is a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101.
