Aguila Copper Corp. announced the successful completion of due diligence and progression to a binding option to earn up to a 90% interest in 28 Mining Claims and 1 Mineral Lease totaling 4,968 Ha that cover the Sherridon Mining District in central western Manitoba. Sherridon is a notable historic mining area, situated within the Flin Flon/Snow Lake Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide ("VHMS") mining camp, situated only 65km northeast of the Flin Flon mining/metallurgical complex.

The site is serviced by all-weather roads, a railroad, network power and the small community of Sherridon/Cold Lake. Mining of the Sherritt Gordon deposit at Sherridon took place between 1931 and 1951, over which time 7.74 million tonnes were mined at an average grade of 2.46% Cu, 2.84% Zn, 0.6 g/t Au and 33 g/t Ag (Goetz & Froese, 1981) from two orebodies along 2.5km of strike. Investors are cautioned that historical production is no guarantee of future results.
