("Creston" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CMS) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a contract with M3 Engineering & Technology Corporation ("M3") for the provision of a bankable feasibility study on its El Creston Molybdenum Deposit in Sonora, Mexico.
The study will be conducted in three phases consisting of scoping, pre-feasibility engineering and feasibility engineering.
M3 has offices in Tucson Arizona, Chandler Arizona and most importantly for Creston, in Hermosillo, Mexico, where their associates have an intimate knowledge of all aspects of the Mexican Mine permitting process.
M3 is a full-service international engineering firm providing engineering, procurement and construction management services to the minerals industry.
Founded in 1986 and with a current staff of over 400 employees, M3 has engineered and managed over $2.0 billion in mining projects, and notably, has won numerous recognitions including the prestigious 2005 AISC Engineering Award for Excellence and the American Mining Hall of Fame's 2007 Mining Foundation of the Southwest Industry Partnership Award.
