Background on ActivEX Limited
ActivEX Limited ( ASX: AIV ) is a mineral explorer based in Brisbane with substantial exploration tenement packages in Queensland and an advanced potash project in W.A.
In the Cloncurry district, Queensland, the Company has reported significant intersections of copper-gold and cobalt mineralization at its Florence Project and is moving towards establishing JORC resources in the area. Outside the Florence Project, it has extensive holdings in this district including a newly granted EPM at Selwyn East, close to significant new developments at Merlin and advanced projects at Mt Dore and Mt Elliott.
At Barambah in the Gympie district of eastern Queensland, the Company has intersected very high grade gold-silver mineralization within an epithermal vein system and proposes to carry out additional drilling in 2012 to test the zone at depth, prior to establishing resources.
Also in the Gympie area the Company has a joint venture at Esk Trough with PNG explorer Coppermoly Limited, which has a right to earn a 70% interest in the project by spending $6M over 6 years. The joint venture is targeting porphyry style copper-gold mineralisation with significant intercepts in the area including 88 metres @ 0.47% copper and 0.49g/t gold.
In W.A., ActivEX owns the Lake Chandler potash project defined by a granted mining lease. The Company has completed a scoping study to investigate both the deposit and optimal methods of extraction of the potash minerals. The study has been extended to identify ways of simplifying the process flow sheet to reduce capital and operating costs.
