TORONTO, Jan. 24, 2023 /CNW/ - Millennial Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV: MPM) (OTCQB: MLPMF) ("Millennial" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that on January 23, 2023, the Company submitted an Exploration Plan of Operations ("EPO") to the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") for its Mountain View project located in Nevada, USA.

Jason Kosec, President, CEO & Director of Millennial commented, "We are thrilled to announce the submission of the EPO for Mountain View. The proposed EPO project boundary of 3,428 acres will allow for up to 400 acres of surface disturbance, which is a significant upgrade from the 5-acre limit under the current Notice of Operations. This exciting news follows last week's announcement of outstanding initial metallurgical results from Mountain View, with oxide bottle roll gold recoveries up to ~95%. Phase 1 drilling at Mountain View, completed in May 2022, confirmed the high-grade breccia discovery and opened the deposit for future expansion to the northwest.  Limited historical exploration drilling has been completed at Mountain View due to alluvium cover, therefore we expect the next phase of drilling under the EPO to not only significantly increase the size of the known mineralization, but also to materially enhance our geologic understanding of the deposit."

Environmental baseline resource studies were conducted at Mountain View throughout the 2021-2022 field season in advance of submitting the EPO, including a field inventory of biological and cultural resources within the 3,428-acre EPO project boundary. The environmental baseline studies will serve as the foundation for continued advancement of Mountain View through the exploration and pre-development phases and will also be used as the basis for an Environmental Assessment ("EA") as required by the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA"). As a federal agency, the BLM is responsible for preparing an EA in accordance with NEPA to identify any significant environmental impacts of the proposed EPO. Millennial has engaged a third-party consultant to assist with the preparation of the EA and is committed to working closely with the BLM to ensure that the process is completed in a timely manner.

The proposed EPO boundary at Mountain View covers 3,428 acres within Millennial's 5,476-acre land package (see Figure 1). Initial drilling at Mountain View was confined to 5 acres of total surface disturbance under the current Notice of Operations, whereas the proposed EPO includes up to 400 acres of disturbance over several phases, beginning with 81 acres of disturbance in the first phase. The EPO will allow for expanded exploration drilling of new targets and resource infill drilling to further define the current mineral resource area. In preparation for the Mine Plan of Operations ("MPO"), the EPO also allows for water well drilling for hydrogeologic characterization and geotechnical test pits/trenches to characterize geotechnical conditions in the prospective mineral processing area.

Mountain View is located within the Deep Hole mining district in Nevada, 24km north of the town of Gerlach within Washoe County. The project area is covered by a 5,476-acre land package consisting of 282 unpatented claims, located on publicly-owned lands administered by the BLM. Gold-dominated mineralization at Mountain View consists of low sulphidation epithermal veins and disseminated oxide and sulphide mineralization hosted in Cenozoic volcanic rocks. Mountain View has an Inferred mineral resource estimate containing 427,000 ounces of Au (oxide) (23.2 million tonnes at 0.57 g/t Au; effective date of November 15, 2020). A technical report for the Mountain View Project is available on Millennial's issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
