Cabo Drilling Expands Into Spain with 70,000 Metre Drill Contract for Iberian Minerals
Monday May 14, 9:00 am ET
NORTH VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - May 14, 2007) - Cabo Drilling Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CBE - News; "Cabo" or the "Company") announces the expansion of drilling operations into Spain through its wholly owned subsidiary Cabo Drilling Spain S.L., and initial core drilling contracts totalling 70,000 meters (amended from an initial 65,000 metres) for Iberian Minerals Corp. ("Iberian Minerals") (TSX VENTURE:IZN - News) wholly owned subsidiaries, Minas de Aguas Tenidas, S.A.U. ("MATSA") and Iberian Minerals Spain, S.L.U., at their Aguas Tenidas Mine located in Huelva Province, Region of Andalucia, SW Spain and their nearby exploration licence areas of approximately 300 km2 in the Iberian Pyrite Belt.
Iberian Mineral's initial drilling objectives include: 1) underground infill drilling to upgrade the MATSA Aguas Tenidas indicated mineral resources to proven mineral reserves; 2) surface drilling to extend the mineral resources westward at Aguas Tenidas; and, 3) surface drilling within the extensive portfolio of exploration licenses held by MATSA in the Spanish Pyrite Belt.
Cabo has mobilized two new core drill rigs (underground and surface), from Sweden and assembled, with MATSA, an international team from Spain, Chile and Canada to carry out the Iberian Minerals' drilling program. Surface drilling has commenced.
Spain has a long history of mining and occupies about 85% of the Iberian Peninsula, which has some of the most mineralized territory in Western Europe. The country's long history of mining has recently attracted renewed interest from the world's major mining companies for gold and base metal exploration and extraction, with a particular interest in the Iberian Pyrite Belt. International mineral investment has been encouraged by several factors, including: the highly prospective geology of the Iberian Pyrite Belt in the south and the recent gold discoveries in the north, a transparent legislative framework and positive fiscal environment covering the extraction of natural resources, well-developed infrastructure and available skilled work force and extended mining tradition and track record of exploration success and mine development.
"Continuing with Cabo's 2007 goal to expand the Company's geographical markets, Cabo has identified Spain as an opportune country in which to offer its drilling services," stated John Versfelt, Cabo's Chairman, President and CEO. "We are pleased with this growth and are happy to be with working with Iberian Minerals Corp."
