  • Recent high-grade palladium and associated nickel-copperplatinum group elements (Ni-Cu-PGE) discovery by Chalice Mining Limited (ASX:CHN) has kicked off an exploration boom in the region.

  • Sovereign Project is located between the Chalice discovery and Yarawindah Brook Ni-Cu-PGE Project (Caspin Resources Limited, ASX:CPN) .

  • Large 6 x 7km Sovereign Magnetic Complex, interpreted mafic-ultramafic intrusive rocks of the Julimar Complex – no previous Ni-Cu-PGE exploration.

  • The Sovereign Project includes:

1. East: (100% DEV) No prior exploration within this newly granted area overlying several prospective magnetic targets.

2. West: Earn-In Agreement with Australian Silica Quartz Group Ltd (ASQ), to earn 50% in the mineral and metal rights (excluding bauxite).

Wilga Downs Project : Encouraging initial drill results

  • Strong coincident magnetic and gravity high identified beneath historical anomalous copper, lead and zinc intercepts.

  • Magnetic/Gravity highs located on the prospective fault contact between Cobar Supergroup and Girilambone Group.

  • Priority target is similar to other gold-polymetallic Cobar deposits:

  • Glencore’s CSA Copper Mine

  • Peak and Great Cobar Copper-Gold Mines

  • DevEx completed first diamond drill hole (20WD001).

  • Results warrant further exploration of this significant massive copper-gold sulphide target.

Wilga Downs Project : Further exploration underway to test ‘near miss’

==> picture [468 x 206] intentionally omitted <==

  • Drilling targeted the western magnetic high – intersecting a narrow zone of semi massive pyrrhotite (magnetic sulphide) with associated copper sulphide.

  • Insufficient levels of high/broad magnetic susceptibility seen in the drill hole to explain the magnetic anomaly – suggesting a ‘near miss’.

==> picture [451 x 333] intentionally omitted <==

  • Potential for an off-hole copper-gold massive sulphide source far larger in size and intensity - down hole EM required.

Nangus Road:

  • +2 km magnetic anomaly shows similarities to Ordovician Cu-Au Cooba Monzonite to the north.

  • 1[st] drill hole intersects altered monzonite with trace copper sulphides associated with alteration.

  • Large, coincident copper-gold soil anomaly up to 1km long and open to the south - under cover.

  • Combined results support potential for a mineralised porphyry copper-gold system.

  • Large-scale, continuous system of gold-in-soil anomalies, +3.5km in length at the Main Ridge Prospect.

  • 14 reconnaissance RC/Diamond drill holes completed – first pass exploration to test large gold system.

  • Broad spaced drilling in the centre and southern areas have encountered wide spread silica-sericite-pyrite alteration with quartz sulphide veins - intercepts including:

  • 1m @ 6.2g/t Au from 12m (DDH 1) in a quartz stockwork veined/breccia.

  • 4m @ 2.1g/t Au from 174m (RC 8) on the western margin of alteration zone –possible controlling structure. RC 8 intercept open +400m to the south.

  • Recent intercepts indicate gold-bearing structural corridor(s) over 1km in length in centre of prospect where the broadest gold-in-soil anomalies occur.

  • Planning underway for follow-up drilling.
