Conditions for JV decision to be completed toward the end of 2015
Core Exploration Ltd (ASX:CXO) is pleased to announce the Company has entered into a non‐binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with an offshore organisation. Under the MOU the parties agree to negotiate the final terms of a Joint Venture to advance Core’s Inkheart and Blueys Project in the Northern Territory.
Subject to due diligence and other conditions, the MOU outlines the key terms to negotiate a future Joint Venture between the two parties. The MOU summarises key terms by which the incoming party can earn up to an 80% interest in Core’s EL 28136 by sole funding up to $2million of exploration expenditure within 2 years.
The MOU sets out the key terms of the proposed Joint Venture, including that the incoming party can earn an initial 51% interest by spending $1.0m over 12 months and an additional 29% interest

(total of 80%) by spending an additional $1.0m (total of $2.0m) during a further 12 months (total of 2 years).
In 2014 a drilling program undertaken by Core intersected primary base metal mineralisation over a 500m long zone at the Inkheart Prospect. Mineralised intersections are generally between 3‐12m thick but in places there are wider mineralised zones up to 36 metres thick (Figures 1 & 2).
Core believes that further drilling and exploration at Inkheart and Blueys Prospects on EL 28136 is likely to lead toward the discovery of higher grade and thicker parts of this mineralised system.
Highly anomalous metals in soils, gossans mapped at surface and elevated metals in shallow drilling are strong indicators that the Bitter Springs host rocks are a key target for higher grade mineralisation.
Discovery of thicker, high grade primary mineralisation would dramatically strengthen the potential of the structurally controlled margin of the Amadeus and east Arunta provinces as a substantial exploration province prospective for economic discoveries of silver, zinc and lead mineralisation.
The Joint Venture considered under the MOU is subject to a due diligence period of approximately 3 months and will be subject to further negotiation, funding approval and can be terminated by either party prior to establishing the JV. The MOU is not legally binding on the parties and will automatically terminate if the incoming party is unable to gain funding approval.
If the conditions contemplated by the MOU are met then it is expected that the Joint Venture would be in place toward the end of 2015.
