Perth, Feb 9, 2017 AEST (ABN Newswire) - The Board of Musgrave Minerals Limited (
ASX:MGV) ("Musgrave" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that Musgrave has completed Stage 1 of the Cue Project Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement ("Cue Joint Venture") with Silver Lake Resources Limited (ASX:SLR) and Cue Minerals Pty Ltd ("CMPL"), a wholly owned subsidiary of SLR, on the Cue Project in the highly prospective Murchison province of Western Australia (Figure 1, see link below).

- Musgrave elects to proceed with Stage 2 of the Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement to increase Musgrave's ownership interest to 80%
Under the Stage 1 terms of the Cue Joint Venture, Musgrave has now earned a 60% interest in the Cue Project by meeting the $1,800,000 exploration expenditure requirement. In addition, the Minimum Expenditure of $900,000 previously satisfied by Musgrave brings the total expenditure on the Project to $2,700,000.
The Cue Project tenements cover approximately 272km2 of tenure which includes the Moyagee and Hollandaire Mineral Resources and Reserves (See MGV ASX announcement 26 October 2016, "2016 Annual Report - Replacement Report").
The Company will now form an unincorporated joint venture with SLR and CMPL over the project tenements, with Musgrave as Manager of the joint venture.
Musgrave has also elected to proceed to Stage 2 of the Cue Joint Venture whereby the Company can increase its interest to 80% by spending an additional $1,800,000 on exploration within 2 years of this election.
Further drilling at Break of Day and Lena is scheduled to commence during the first week of March as Musgrave continues to work towards its objective to increase high grade gold resources to underpin studies to demonstrate a viable path to development at Cue.
Musgrave Managing Director Rob Waugh said:
"Musgrave is pleased to have completed the initial 60% ownership interest in the Cue Project. This is an exciting time for Musgrave following the exceptional drilling results received at Break of Day and Lena as we push towards delivering on our objectives.
