ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

DUNDAS – NEW EXPLORATION LICENCE APPLICATION

Highlights

  • Application made for exploration licence over new exploration target

  • North of the Company’s high priority north-east exploration area

  • Coincidental electromagnetic, gravity and magnetic anomalies

  • Contiguous with Dundas’ existing exploration licences

Dundas Minerals Limited (ASX: DUN) (“Dundas” or “the Company”) a battery materials explorer in the prospective Albany-Fraser Orogen, is pleased to advise that the Company has applied for a new exploration licence: E63/2170, from the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) (refer Figure 1).

The exploration licence is contiguous with the Company’s existing Dundas project licences and covers an area of approximately 95 km[2] . The application stems from the Company’s initial analysis of its recently completed project scale geophysical surveys (refer ASX announcement of 18 November 2021). Coincidental anomalies are apparent from the modelling and analysis of the aerial electromagnetic survey (AEM), the ground gravity survey, and the magnetic survey data. The anomalies extend to the north from the Company’s existing granted exploration licence

E63/2078 and into an area that was previously “vacant”. Dundas Minerals has now made application for this area to ensure that the entirety of the anomalies sit within Dundas tenements (either granted or under application).

The anomalies have an estimated stike-length of 5km and are clearly apparent in Figure 2 (AEM over a residual magnetics background). The addition of this new licence extends the size of the Company’s high priority north-east exploration area which was announced on 18 November 2021. The Company intends to conduct an in-fill gravity survey and an in-fill aerial magnetic survey across the north-east exploration area at the earliest opportunity. Also, ground truthing of the area is planned to take place in conjunction with the Company’s pending Jumbuck and Kokoda drilling campaigns. During a recent reconnaissance visit to the area, a thin xenothith (1m-2m) of mafic rock within felsic gneiss was observed in an outcrop. This may provide an explanation for the high gravity response, and suggests a mafic instrusive at depth.

Commenting on the new tenement application, Dundas Minerals managing director Shane Volk said; “it is very early days, but the coincidental AEM, gravity and magnetic anomalies that have been identified in the north-east project area, plus the mafic xenolith that was observed, are encouraging. This is an example of the new exploration target areas that we are able to generate from our upfront investment in project-wide geophysical surveys. We were fortunate that the northern extention of the anomalies, which lay outside of our existing tenement, was in an unpegged area so we quickly made application for the ground. Plans are in place to more extensively ground-truth the area towards the end of the pending Jumbuck and Kokoda drilling campaigns. We are looking forward to what else may be observed in this new unexplored area”.
