TORONTO, July 4, 2012 /CNW/ - Strata Minerals Inc. (TSX-V: SMP) ("Strata" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed on SEDAR a National Instrument
43-101 technical report (the "Report") on the Company's 80% owned
Cardabia Phosphate Project located near Exmouth in Western Australia
(the "Cardabia Project") .
The Report is based on a review of historical surface geochemical
sampling, regionally spaced drilling and limited costeaning completed
on the property during the period from 1989-1990. That work was
principally conducted by CRA Exploration Pty Ltd (a former subsidiary
of Rio Tinto Ltd.).
The Report summarizes historical phosphate exploration activities and
supports the initiation of a $500,000 to $650,000 Phase I work program.
The recommended Phase 1 work program includes reprocessing of historical
airborne radiometrics and magnetics flown at 250 and 300 metre line
spacing during the period from 1989 to 1991; completion of ground
geophysics; 2,500-3,000 metres of aircore drilling and bulk sampling to
facilitate initial metallurgical test work.
Subject to the success of the Phase 1 program, the Report recommends
that Strata undertake a $2-3 MM Phase 2 work program at the Cardabia
Project consisting of aircore and PQ diamond drilling and assaying,
trenching and bulk sampling and detailed metallurgical test work.
Peter Kozicz, President and CEO of Strata, commented, "The filing of the
Report is an important milestone in Strata's exploration program at
Cardabia. We are encouraged by its recommendations as we endeavour to
realize additional value to our shareholders through a comprehensive
investigation of the property and its potential."
The Report was authored by Matthew Wheeler, B.Sc (Hons) MAIG, a
Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Wheeler
has reviewed the preparation of the scientific and technical
information in this press release.
The Report is available to be viewed on SEDAR and the Company's website
