Moneta re-organizes management structure


Symbol: TSX: ME

TORONTO, May 24, 2018 /CNW/ - Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. (TSX:ME) (OTC:MPUCF) (XETRA:MOP) ("Moneta" or the "Company") is pleased to announce changes to its executive officer titles. Gary V. O'Connor has been named Chief Executive Officer and Chief Geologist. Ian C. Peres has been named President and Chief Financial Officer. Warren Bates has stepped down as Chief Financial Officer and will continue on the Board of Directors.

Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. (CNW Group/Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc.)

Ian C. Peres, President and CFO commented, "The change in titles better aligns senior executives with their primary roles and responsibilities. We would like to thank Mr. Bates for his contribution as CFO and look forward to his ongoing contribution on the technical committee and Board.

Mr. O'Connor's hiring has proven to be a transformational change for the Company as his vast technical knowledge and experience provides the missing piece for Moneta to unlock the value in our extensive land position in one of the most prolific gold belts in Canada.  Ongoing drilling, to supplement 100,000 metres of prior drilling in the South West Deposit, continues to confirm the new high grade gold interpretation and geological understanding."

Gary V. O'Connor, CEO and Chief Geologist commented, "Moneta has been concentrating on re-defining and testing targets on its prospective land package. We have now identified multiple opportunities for high grade deposits on the Golden Highway Project and believe that we are well on our way towards adding value with the advancement of the South West Deposit. We expect to release a NI 43-101 resource estimate on the South West deposit before the end of the year."
