Strong Assays Outside Updated Resource Received at Oracle Ridge Copper Mine

Highlights

  • Broad and high-grade intercepts continue from the southern and eastern Talon area: − 11.9m at 2.94% Cu, 42.6g/t Ag and 0.49g/t Au , including

    • 3.3m at 7.0% Cu, 98g/t Ag and 1.01g/t Au (WT-22-159)
  • 19.1m at 2.23% Cu, 34.1g/t Ag 0.43g/t Au, including

    • 9.3m @ 3.63% Cu, 59.6g/t Ag and 0.76g/t Au (WT-22-148)
  • 0.7m at 16.9% Cu, 136g/t Ag and 0.25g/t Au (WT-22-158)

  • 10.7m at 1.97% Cu, 23.4/t Ag and 0.32/t Au (WT-22-158)

  • 3.3m at 3.38% Cu , 32.9g/t Ag and 0.51g/t Au (WT-22-156)

  • These results were not included in the October MRE update[1] and represent upside potential, most intercepts remaining laterally unconstrained by drilling

  • Resource infill drilling from the southern Talon area intercepted: − 6.5m at 2.32% Cu, 34.15g/t Ag and 0.71g/t Au (WT-21-153)

  • Results supported by the recently updated geological model. The new model will also assist in the definition of new resource expansion targets in the mine area

  • Ongoing drilling currently testing extensions to historical mines adjacent to existing portal never included in previous Mineral Resource Estimates

  • Assay results from 13 holes pending

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

“These latest results are very pleasing as they show ongoing resource expansion potential with strong grades and minable thicknesses. The southern Talon zone is also showing higher gold grades offering a potential increase in by-product credits in a bulk Cu-Ag-Au concentrate, similar to what was previously produced on site. The recently updated MRE used a revised and vastly improved geological model which provides further confidence in developing future drill targets at Oracle Ridge.

While progressing with various aspects of pre-feasibility study works, we also plan to continue improving and expanding our mineral resources. Results like these show the opportunity to discover additional mineralisation at Oracle Ridge on the pathway to become a significant potential copper producer.“

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.

Drilling

Assays results for 12 new holes have been received, including 10 resource expansion holes and 2 resource infill holes.

Resource Expansion Results

The results for the 10 resource expansion holes (Table 1, Attachment 1) continue to support the potential for growth of the Company’s MRE. Key observations are presented below.

Eastern Talon

WT-22-158 returned two main intercepts: 10.7m at 1.97% Cu, 23.35/t Ag and 0.32/t Au, at the Leatherwood contact and a narrow but spectacular 0.7m at 16.9% Cu, 136g/t Ag and 0.25g/t Au within strongly altered sediments. This high-grade intercept could be similar to several narrow massive sulphide veins or fracture fills also seen in underground workings.

WT-22-159, drilled in the northeastern Talon approximately 45 metres to the north of WT-22-126 (13.7m at 1.97% Cu, 25.69g/t Ag and 0.39g/t Au[2] ) returned 11.9m at 2.94% Cu, 42/6g/t Ag and 0.49g/t Au including 3.3m at 7% Cu, 98g/t Ag and 1.01g/t Au. WT-22-165 was drilled approximately 50m to the northeast of WT22-159, testing for extensions to the reported mineralisation. Assays are awaited. The relatively high gold value in hole WT-22-159 is of note, being more than double than the average in the October 2022 JORC Resource (ASX announcement 6 October 2022).

WT-22-156 was also drilled at the northeastern edge of the Talon and returned stronger than expected alteration and mineralisation including two intercepts of 3.3m at 3.38% Cu, 32.94g/t Ag and 0.51g/t Au and 2.9m at 2.02% Cu, 29.27g/t Ag and 0.31g/t Au. These remain unconstrained to the north and east with topography constraining mineralisation over 120 metres away.

WT-22-149, WT-22-151, WT-22-154 returned only modest mineralisation along the Leatherwood contact. As these are extensional holes, they will have not depleted tonnes from the October 2022 Resource update.

Southern Talon

Drilling in the southern Talon returned:

  • 19.1m at 2.23% Cu, 34.1g/t Ag and 0.43g/t Au including 9.3m @ 3.63% Cu, 59.56g/t Ag and 0.76g/t Au in drill hole WT-22-148. The mineralisation is hosted along the Sediments-Leatherwood contact. Potential exist for this mineralisation to extend 70m to the southeast where WT-22-144 was drilled. This holes intersected 3.1 metres at 1.37% Cu, 21.81g/t Ag and 0.39g/t gold along the intrusive contact. Additional drilling is planned between these two holes;

  • WT-22-150 was drilled approximately 150 metres west of WT-22-148 and intersected Leatherwood and Leatherwood sill with minor mineralised sediments constrained to the upper part of the hole. This provides us with further information for revising the geological model; and

  • WT-22-157 was completed approximately 60 metres to the east of WT-22-153 and 85 metres to the northeast of WT-22-155 (see Resource Infill Results section). Multiple, thin zones of mineralisation were intersected over approximately 80 metres downhole suggesting mineralisation in this area is scattered and did not concentrate in specific stratigraphic horizons.

Resource Infill Results

Results from two infill holes were received. These holes were drilled at a nominal Inferred spacing of 50 metres within the footprint of the existing MRE at a 1% copper cut-off grade.

Drill holes WT-22-153 and WT-22-155 were drilled in the southernmost part of the Talon area testing the southern extension to strong results in WT-21-31. Both holes intersected a large section of Leatherwood intrusive with only minor sediments. WT-22-153 encountered two mineralised zones within a narrow sediments interval surrounded by intrusive (Table 2). WT-22-155, drilled approximately 80 metres to the south, intersected only minor mineralisation. A decrease in the Inferred resource in this area is expected due to the smaller than anticipated volumes of sediments encountered.

Discussion

The Company has recently released an updated JORC Mineral Resource Estimate (ASX announcement 6 October 2022). The results presented in the current announcement are not included in the updated MRE but will be incorporated in the next MRE update. The results outlined herein provide further confidence for additional mineralisation to be discovered at Oracle Ridge and the Talon remains an exciting and evolving discovery by Eagle Mountain. The recently updated geological model is supporting the definition of new drill target with the aim to further building and upgrading the resources.

Drilling is currently ongoing with a surface diamond drill rig. This rig is currently drilling in and around the historic Daily mine where no mineral resource has been defined. Drill targets have also been established around the historic Geesaman mine which is also outside the existing mineral Resource.

The recent increase in Measured and Indicated resources (ASX announcement 6 October 2022) has provided the Company with further confidence to move Oracle Ridge towards feasibility work. To assist with this work, the Company is well underway with recommissioning the existing underground mine which provides valuable access to mineralisation in the drives for metallurgical testwork and optimisation of the processing plant. In addition, drill stations are being established to enable underground diamond drilling to further upgrade the resources to higher confidence categories, thereby de-risking a restart of the project.

Commentary

  • The Oracle Ridge Mine Project (Project) is located in the Marble Peak area, approximately 30 kilometres by air northeast of Tucson, Arizona, U.S.A. It is located in Sections 17, 18, 19 and 20 of Township 11 South, Range 16 East, Gila and Salt River Base and Meridian of the U.S. cadastral system. The geographical coordinates are approximately Latitude 32º28' North, Longitude 110º41' West.

  • The Project is 100% owned by Eagle Mountain Mining Limited through its Arizona subsidiaries Wedgetail Operations LLC (100%) and Wedgetail Holdings LLC (100%).

  • The Project consists of four main areas: Oracle Ridge, OREX, Golden Eagle and Red Hawk.

  • Oracle Ridge (including historical Tailings Storage Facility)

  • Oracle Ridge comprises 60 Patented Mining Claims and 50 Unpatented Mining Claims within the Coronado National Forest (United States Forest Service).

  • 100% of the mineral rights starting from 15.2m (50 feet) below surface are owned by Wedgetail Operations LLC

  • In 2009, the surface rights for the area necessary for potential mining access (e.g. portals), processing facilities and offices have been secured by an industrial property lease. Under the agreement, Wedgetail Operations LLC leases the surface rights to the project for the purpose of carrying out its exploration, potential development and mining. The lease has an initial term of three years and is renewable for nine additional extensions of three years each.

  • A separate surface access agreement is in place to allow access to drill sites and drill pads construction.

  • The mineral rights of Patented Claims at Oracle Ridge have a reversionary interest to Marble Mountain Ventures, which occurs on 18 February 2025, unless the Company exercises its Extension Option upon which the Company’s interests in the mineral rights are extended to 18 February 2040.

  • There is a 3% net smelter returns royalty on the future sale of any metals and minerals derived from the Oracle Ridge mine.

•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 Company’s
landholding. It reported smelter returns between 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

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.

•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.

gold and base metals (copper, lead, zinc) from drill results are
hosted within granitic rocks. These granites are bounded by what
