Monterey Minerals (CSE: MREY) this morning released a minor update in relation to its ongoing drill program at the wholly owned Alicia Gold project located in the Philippines. To date, the company has conducted a total of four drill holes on the property, to a total depth of 800 metres, while also discovering a new vein as previously announced.

- Hole EX-PV-011 – Drilled to 150 metres, with an intersection at 106.5 metres two metres in length
