Acquisition of High-Grade Copper Project Adjacent to White Cliff Minerals

Somerset Minerals Ltd (“Somerset” or the “Company”) (ASX:SMM) is pleased to advise that it has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire 100% of the issued capital of Sentinel Resources Pty Ltd (“Sentinel”), which, through its local subsidiary, holds the Coppermine Project (the “Project”) in Nunavut, Canada.

Importantly, the Coppermine Project hosts 1,055 km2 of the prospective Copper Creek Formation basalts, and is interpreted to include the strike extensions to White Cliff’s high priory targets of Vision, Stark, Thor and Rocket (Figure 2 & 3), with the prospectivity of the wider project area also supported by extensive surface sampling and historic exploration (Table 1). Importantly, Somerset holds the ground entirely around and along strike from White Cliff’s recently acquired Danvers prospect which contains a non-JORC or NI 43-101 resource of 4.16Mt @ 2.96% Cu.
