Kalavasos Project Update

Caerus Mineral Resources (LON: CMRS), the Cyprus-based exploration and resource development company focused on developing copper-gold mineral resources to support the global "Clean Energy" initiative, is pleased to provide an update on exploration on the Kalavasos Project licences in Cyprus.

Highlights

·      First batch of grab samples from recent exploration near the Platies Mine area returned peak gold assays of 7.65g/t Au, 2.83g/t Au and 2.74g/t Au.

·      Corresponding copper grades peaking at 0.48% Cu

·      Results sufficiently encouraging to warrant further detailed follow up including scout drilling.

Martyn Churchouse, Chief Executive Officer said "Preliminary results from grab samples across various sites within the suite of Kalavasos licences has returned very encouraging results particularly for the presence of both residual gold in dumps and in new targets. Kalavasos hosts 14 former producing mines and as such there is a large volume of surface material that needs to be assessed that could contain residual copper and gold values. From work undertaken by Caerus to date and further validated by these new results, there appears to be significant scope to build a gold resource based initially around dump and stockpile material and subject to further investigation other hard rock sources. A comprehensive programme of work has been planned for Kalavasos and Shareholders can expect further regular updates as the programme expands out across the licences".

Kalavasos Project

The Kalavasos Project area includes several abandoned mines including Platies, associated waste dumps and exposed gossans. Widespread ancient mine workings and slag dumps remain from pre-Roman era exploitation. In many cases, strong gossanous alternation at surface was also targeted for gold and silver.

The Kalavasos prospect sits within the easternmost part of the volcanic units of the Southern Troodos Domain. The Kalavasos area also has significant structural complexity with faults mapped in various geometries. The project area includes gabbro, sheeted dykes and minor ultramafic units which are considered prospective for disseminated sulphide systems.

Sulphide orebodies of the Cyprus-type, comprising massive and/or stockwork-type cupriferous pyrite deposits occasionally capped by ochre and post-mineralisation lavas or, more frequently, intersected by post-mineralisation dykes. The Kalavasos district of orebodies has a pronounced NE-SW pattern reflected in both in the orientation of the Axis Sequence dykes and the trend of the faults and major mineralised zones.
