Quarterly Activities Report for period ending 30[th] June 2016
Highlights
– Double Magic Ni & Cu West Kimberley
-
Intensive field based exploration programs have been ongoing at Double Magic project for the last 8 weeks
-
Work to date at Double Magic has been encouraging enough to warrant a significant extension of time on site to continue detailed geological and geophysical investigation
-
Thorough and detail geological data sets collected include structural, geochemical, geophysical and lithological
-
With data collection ongoing, Buxton looks forward to releasing findings and interpretations to the market once works and assays are completed
– Yalbra Graphite Gascoyne Region
-
Australia’s highest reported grade graphite resource: 4.0Mt @ 16.2% TGC (Inferred)
-
Field work for Yalbra has been completed for this field season
-
Ground investigations of geophysical anomalies indicated modest potential for new graphite occurrences proximal to the main Yalbra graphite resource
-
Commercialisation of the Yalbra graphite project is ongoing
Corporate
- Cash balance (30 June 2016) of approximately $1.5 million

– Double Magic Ni & Cu West Kimberley
==> picture [228 x 72] intentionally omitted <==
During the quarter, Buxton spent eight weeks at the Double Magic Ni-Cu Project (location in Figure 1) conducting intensive field based exploration programs. Work to date at Double Magic has been encouraging enough to warrant a significant extension of time on site to continue detailed geological and geophysical investigation.
The exploration team collected thorough and detailed geological data sets including structural, geochemical, geophysical and lithological information. With data collection ongoing, Buxton looks forward to releasing findings and interpretations to the market once works and assays are completed.

– Yalbra Graphite Gascoyne Region
Yalbra is Australia’s highest reported grade graphite resource at 4.0Mt @ 16.2% TGC (Inferred) and has considerable potential to be expanded along strike, and for discovery of additional resources. Additionally, Buxton has shown commercial products can be produced from its very high grade Yalbra Graphite Project. As such, the Company is now in a position to seek a development and/or offtake partner to assist in commercialising the project.
Yalbra exploration and development activities continued during the quarter with field work for Yalbra now completed for this field season. Soil and rock chip sampling along interpreted shear zones failed to produce any significant results for precious or base metals. However, ground investigations of geophysical anomalies indicated modest potential for new graphite occurrences proximal to the main Yalbra graphite resource
Northampton Base Metals Project
==> picture [228 x 72] intentionally omitted <==
The Northampton project area is located 477km North of Perth, along the Northwest Coastal Highway between Geraldton (in the South) and Ajana (in the North). The Northampton project area includes two tenement applications, E66/88 and E66/87 for a total area of 872 km2. The main target commodities in this project are Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag and Au. The principal target style is structurally controlled polymetallic sulphide veins and pods.
Buxton’s field season commenced with a field trip to BUX’s wholly owned, contiguous and large tenement holding in at Northampton. Follow up rock chip sampling for potential REE mineralisation failed to produce any significant results.
Corporate
Buxton continues to meet all necessary expenditure needs and is, per usual, operating with demonstrable financial constraint and responsibility.
Cash balance as at 30 June 2016 was approximately $1.5 million.
