A $100,000 CEI Grant has been awarded from the Queensland State Government to test the large-scale Matthews Pinnacle Porphyry Copper-Gold target.

An aggressive work program including a 10,000m drill campaign is planned to test multiple advanced gold, copper and other base metal targets over the next 18 months

Australian exploration company Ballymore Resources Limited (“BMR”, “Ballymore” or the “Company”) will commence trading of its shares on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) at 11.00am today following completion of its successful $7.0 million Initial Public Offer (“IPO”). The IPO was well-supported by both institutional and retail investors.

The successful IPO enables Ballymore to accelerate its significant exploration and development program over the following 18 months with approximately $5.3 million of the IPO proceeds going into the ground to test multiple old workings and advanced targets.

Project Summary

Ballymore holds an exploration portfolio comprising two granted mining leases (“MLs”), eleven granted exploration permits (“EPMs”) and an EPM application at Dittmer, Ruddygore and Ravenswood in central and north Queensland. The total area covered by the granted tenements is 1,355 km[2] . The tenements at Dittmer and Ruddygore are 100% owned by Ballymore, and the tenements at Ravenswood are subject to a farm-in agreement and joint venture with ActivEX Limited.

Ballymore has developed an exploration strategy across all three project areas, including drill testing of multiple drill ready targets in parallel with new exploration activities (geological mapping, geochemistry, and geophysics) to advance its many other highly prospective target areas that include high grade, old workings. The most advanced targets include:

  • Seventy Mile Mount – Matthews Pinnacle (Ravenswood Project) – large hydrothermal breccia gold target located 5km northeast of Mount Leyshon (3.8Moz Au)

  • Dittmer (Dittmer Project) – high-grade, vein-hosted gold deposit centred on historic high grade

  • Dittmer gold and copper mine

  • Ruddygore (Ruddygore Project) – major porphyry copper target near the historic mining and smelting township of Chillagoe

Dittmer Drilling

Ballymore has re-opened the historic Dittmer high grade gold and copper mine and is currently undertaking exploration drilling to test for potential extensions to known mineralisation beneath the reported historic workings, as well as along strike. The first phase drill program is planned for 700m of diamond drilling with initial results expected in mid-September.

Commenting on the successful listing, Ballymore Resources Chairman, Nick Jorss said:

The listing of Ballymore Resources on the ASX today is a significant milestone for our management team, employees and shareholders. We have pulled together an exciting tenement portfolio with extensive historic workings for gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc and a general lack of modern exploration. These highly prospective project areas have been specifically targeted by co-founder and director of Ballymore, David A-Izzeddin. David has a long and successful history of making significant mineral

discoveries in Queensland and beyond. We are fortunate to have secured the services of surface and underground drilling rigs and have an aggressive work program planned to drill test multiple advanced targets. Drilling has commenced at Dittmer and we look forward to the testing this bonanza-grade historic gold deposit ”.

The recent awarding of a CEI grant by the State Government for our Matthews Pinnacle porphyry CuAu target near Ravenswood is a strong endorsement of the exploration potential of the Matthews Pinnacle target from the panel of independent experts. The grant is specifically aimed at directly testing for a large porphyry system in the prolific Charters Towers Province and will allow us to accelerate drilling to test targets within the highly prospective Mount Leyshon Corridor. Follow-up drilling of the Seventy Mile Mount gold breccia target is also planned for later this year .”

Morgans Corporate Limited and Bizzell Capital Partners Pty Ltd acted as the Joint Lead Managers and Underwriters to the IPO. We wish to thank our team of advisers who have assisted us in achieving our successful ASX listing and our shareholders, for their continued support .”
