The agreement allows the Company to carry out of all exploration activities including, but not limited to, diamond drilling and geophysical surveys. The common ground covers most of the known copper porphyry mineralization located on Minera Hill 29's La Verde property situated in Michoacan State, Mexico.

Terry Hodson, VP Exploration stated "We believe the terms of the access Agreement are fair to all stakeholders and will form the basis for mutual cooperation with the local community for the development of the project to the benefit of the Company, the local communities and other stakeholders."
Catalyst has recently hired Alberto Gonzalez Sanchez as its community relations representative in Michoacàn, Mexico.
