Nearby Historic Mine Samples and South Talon Surface Samples Return Strong Assay Results - Enhancing Scale Potential at Oracle Ridge

Highlights

  • Assays from the nearby historic Hartman-Homestake underground mine deliver multiple highgrade base and precious metal results. Rock-chip assays include:

  • 4.42% Cu, 60.80g/t Ag, 0.29% Zn and 0.87% Pb (HH14)

  • 3.93% Cu, 344g/t Ag, 0.76% Zn and 3.22% Pb (HH19)

  • 3.09% Cu, 73.20 g/t Ag, 0.06% Zn and 0.03% Pb (HH16)

  • 2.98% Cu, 139g/t Ag, 0.05% Zn and 0.01% Pb (HH12)

  • 2.42% Cu, 79.10g/t Ag, 1.99% Zn and 0.94% Pb (HH3)

  • Situated within the Oracle Ridge Project, the Hartman-Homestake mine is:

    • Located on patented mining claims where drilling can be expedited
  • 500 metres from the existing JORC mineral resource and 2 kilometres from the mine portals by road

  • Last mined in the mid-1930s

  • Significant zinc and lead assays as well as apparent structural control makes this area quite different to anything seen in the main mine area and any drilling to-date

  • Two kilometres southwest from the Hartman-Homestake mine, an additional 38 surface rock-chip samples from the southern Talon and near the historic Stratton workings indicate that the current modelled resource extends to the surface in this area. Selected results include:

  • 8.96% Cu, 79.40 g/t Ag and 0.75g/t Au (E209411)

  • 8.63% Cu, 61.90g/t Ag and 0.94g/t Au (E209420)

  • 5.25% Cu, 131g/t Ag and 1.21g/t Au (E209403)

  • 4.57% Cu, 196g/t Ag and 3.69g/t Au (E209429)

Commenting on the ongoing activities, Eagle Mountain Mining’s CEO, Tim Mason, said:

“These excellent assay results at the Hartman-Homestake mine demonstrate the broader endowment potential of

the Oracle Ridge project. Extensive skarn alteration and strong copper, silver, zinc and lead occur within two kilometres of the existing mine portals. We are planning additional work to better understand the local geology and develop drill ready targets. Importantly, the Hartman-Homestake area is located on patented claims and, after geological targets have been refined, earthworks and drilling can be expedited.

These results strongly enhance our view that there is much more mineralisation to be discovered at Oracle Ridge, bolstering our plans for a future mine with growth potential.

This new information supports our hypothesis that similar to many other copper skarn deposits in the world, there is quite a broad area of separate mineralised zones.”

Eagle Mountain Mining Limited (ASX: EM2 ) ( Eagle Mountain , or the Company ) is pleased to provide an update on its 100% owned Oracle Ridge Copper Mine Project ( Oracle Ridge , or the Project ) in Arizona, USA.

The Company’s technical team has recently completed further mapping and sampling across the Oracle Ridge mine area. Key goals of this program included:

  • Reconnaissance mapping near historic mines along both the western and southern flank of Marble Peak, the main topographic feature at Oracle Ridge;

  • Improve the understanding of the surface expression of the mineralisation intersected in the drilling at the Talon; and

  • Constrain the geological model by detailed mapping of the Leatherwood-Sediments contact at surface in the Talon area.

The key outcomes of the program are described below.

Reconnaissance Mapping and Sampling of Historical Mines

The Marble Peak area contains several historical workings in the vicinity of the Oracle Ridge mine portals. Two groups of workings which were never previously mapped and sampled in detail include:

  • The Hartman-Homestake mine, situated two kilometres to the west of the portals by road and 500 metres northwest of the current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE); and

  • The Stratton area, located approximately 600 metres to the west of the southern Talon area.

Hartman-Homestake Mine

Limited information is available regarding historical production from the Hartman-Homestake mine which is believed to have been operational in the early decades of last century. A recent review of historical reports by the Company’s technical team highlighted the existence of underground workings covering an area of approximately 100 by 100 metres. Also, historical samples reported on the underground maps showed encouraging base metals values. Preliminary observations from a reconnaissance visit highlighted the following encouraging results (refer to Figures 1 and 2):

  • The local geology includes skarn-altered Abrigo Formation, a geological unit hosting significant CuAg-Au mineralisation at Oracle Ridge;

  • Underground exposures show abundant skarn alteration and copper mineralisation which appears to be structurally controlled. The key feature of the area is a northeast-southwest trending fault which seems to focus the mineralisation. This structure is interpreted to be a southwestern splay of the regionally significant Geesaman Fault to the north.

  • 20 rock-chip samples collected across the underground workings returned several high-grade assays, with significant results highlighted in Table 1 and full results in Attachment A.

Unlike the main Oracle Ridge mine area, the copper-silver mineralisation shows a strong association with lead and zinc and low gold values. This observation suggests that the mineralising system at the HartmanHomestake is somewhat different from the Oracle Ridge mine and is likely a result of having been emplaced in a lower temperature hydrothermal environment.

Results from the reconnaissance mapping are considered highly encouraging and follow-up work is being planned, including:

  • Review and compilation of historical data, such as available reports, geological maps and historical rock-chip and channel samples;

  • Detailed mapping and sampling, including channel samples across key mineralised areas;

  • Geological interpretation and 3D modelling to define viable drill targets;

  • Underground survey of the workings; and

  • Eventual drilling from surface.

Should the results of the above programs be favourable, a drilling campaign will be designed to test the area. The Hartman-Homestake mine is subject to seasonal flooding and therefore the planned work will be carried out when water levels are sufficiently low to ensure good exposure and the safety of the Company’s personnel.

Stratton Mine Area

The Stratton area is situated approximately 600 metres to the west of the Leatherwood mine at the Southern Talon (Figure 1). The current reconnaissance mapping covered the eastern-most adits in this group of workings as well as outcropping mineralisation in the vicinity.

All rock-chips in the area returned copper values exceeding 1% (refer to Table 2 and Figure 1). Assay results show a chemistry similar to Oracle Ridge, with copper and silver associated with gold rather than lead and zinc, as observed at the Hartman-Homestake mine. This is consistent with the mineralisation defined in the current MRE model.

Southern Talon Surface Mapping and Sampling

The Talon mapping successfully defined the location of the Leatherwood-Sediments contact, with this additional constraint applied to the geological model underpinning the recently announced MRE (refer to ASX announcement dated 6 October 2022). During mapping, several samples were collected (refer to Figure 1 and Attachment A) which confirmed the extent and tenor of mineralisation at the Talon. These results further support the geological interpretation that the mineralisation intersected in drilling at the Talon daylights to the south, southeast and east. Significant results are highlighted in Table 3.

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as downhole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These
examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to
the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would
be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to
obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30
g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be
required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.

Exploration done Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Oracle Ridge
by other parties The Oracle Ridge Mining District was discovered in 1873. In
1881, an 18 tonne per day copper smelter was erected at
nearby Apache Camp. The ore for this smelter was supplied
from the Hartman, Homestake, Leatherwood, Stratton,
Geesman and other small mines in the area.
Phelps Dodge Copper Company (Phelps Dodge) entered the
District in 1910 and undertook considerable development and
exploration work.
Continental Copper, Inc began exploring in the District in the
1950s. Continental leased the property in 1968 with an option
to purchase and undertook a large exploration and
development program. This was the first time there was a
large-scale assessment of the mineralisation.
Union Miniere began a new exploration program in April
1980. In 1984, a feasibility study for an 1,814 short ton per
day operation was completed.
In October 1988, South Atlantic Ventures acquired Union
Miniere's interest and entered into a 70-30 partnership with
Continental to develop the mine. Minproc Engineers Inc. was
contracted to supervise the confirmatory metallurgical test
work. A detailed design was started in November 1989 on a
column flotation plant. Construction of the facility commenced
in April 1990 and the first ore was processed through the
plant on March 3, 1991. The capacity of the mill was initially
set at 771 short ton per day. The mill capacity was later
expanded to approximately 1,000 short ton per day.
The mine closed in 1996. Production records show that
approximately 1,200,000 short tons were milled since
commencement of the operation.
Between 2009 and 2015 the project was owned by Oracle
Ridge Mining, a TSX-V listed company, which drilled
approximately 130 surface and underground holes.
Golden Eagle
Small scale mining occurred in the Golden Eagle area in the
first half of the 1900s focussed on gold. The largest operation
was the Sanderson Mine. The mine is part of the Golden
Eagle mineralised system but is located outside the

1936 and 1941 averaging 0.4 Oz/short ton Au (13.7 g/t Au),
0.65 Oz/ton Ag (22.3 g/t Ag) and 0.46% Cu (small tonnage).
Oracle Ridge mining conducted exploration at Golden Eagle
in the mid-1990s. A geophysical magnetic survey was flown
over the area. Few magnetic anomalies, postulated to be
magnetite-rich skarn were tested by reconnaissance drilling.
Results were not deemed sufficiently encouraging and no
further drilling was conducted in the area.
OREX
Details of historical (pre-1980s) exploration and mining
activities in the OREX area are not known. Few small-scale
workings were found during mapping.
In 1980 a Joint Venture between Gulf Minerals Corporation
and W.R. Grace Company completed mapping of the area
and drilled 7 holes. Results of the program were reviewed by
Oracle Ridge Mining Partners and summarised in an internal
communication in 1992.
Red Hawk
No historical exploration nor mining activities are known for

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. Oracle Ridge
The deposit is classified as copper dominated skarn.
Minerals representative of both prograde and retrograde
skarn development are present, the former being
represented by diopside and garnets, the latter by epidote,
magnetite and chlorite.
Copper dominated mineralisation generally contain
chalcopyrite and bornite. The deposits are most commonly
associated with Andean-type plutons intruded in older
continental-margin carbonate sequences. The associated
intrusive rocks are commonly porphyritic stocks, dikes and
breccia pipes of quartz diorite, granodiorite, monzo-granite
and tonalite composition, intruding carbonate rocks,
calcareous-volcanic or tuffaceous rocks. The deposits
shapes vary from stratiform and tabular to vertical pipes,
narrow lenses, and irregular zones that are controlled by
intrusive contacts.

The copper rich skarn deposits at Oracle Ridge are found in
conformable lens along the contact with the Leatherwood
Granodiorite or associated with faults and shear zones which
intersect the Leatherwood. These have acted as feeders into
the reactive carbonate horizons. The latter can form a
“Christmas Tree” type shape.
Hartman-Homestake
Based on historic reports and early-stage underground rock-
chip samples, the Hartman-Homestake deposit is interpreted
to be a separate, lower temperature skarn system compared
to Oracle Ridge due to the stronger association of copper-
silver mineralisation with lead and zinc and minimal gold
values. The deposit is hosted within the same lower
carbonate sequences observed at Oracle Ridge.
The carbonates show strong skarn alteration with elevated
copper, silver, lead and zinc. Mineralisation is structurally
controlled within a northeast-southwest striking fault,
interpreted to be a splay ofthe Geesaman Fault.
