Metallurgical studies have commenced to review and update existing information that we will need for the upcoming mining studies.
On the geological front, the team is currently mapping the historical workings peripheral to the Oracle Ridge mine and also fine tuning our drilling plans for OREX. “
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.
Resource Development Activities
Drilling
The Company continues to drill from surface at Oracle Ridge. Drilling is still focused on the Talon area with a few holes also testing peripheral extensions to the west and north of the mine. Assay results have been received for 22 holes which are detailed below.
Resource Expansion Results
Results for 17 resource expansion holes have been received (Table 1, Attachment 1) which continue to support the potential for growth of the Company’s MRE at a 1% copper cut-off grade. Key observations are presented below.
Eastern Talon
Further assays have been received from drilling in the eastern Talon (Figure 1), a target that was sparsely drilled by previous explorers.
Results include:
-
8.1m at 2.28% Cu, 18.07g/t Ag and 0.40g/t Au and 8.0m at 2.98% Cu, 27.46g/t Ag and 0.33g/t Au across two zones in drill hole WT-22-143. This is the northern part of the eastern Talon target with assays pending from three nearby holes.
-
9.2m at 2.20% Cu, 35.72g/t Ag and 0.45g/t Au in drill hole WT-22-140 to the south of WT-22-143. The drill hole intersected a second, lower grade mineralised zone spatially consistent with that observed in WT-22-143.
-
WT-22-130, WT-22-133, WT-22-136, WT-22-142 and WT-22-147 returned the following zones above the reporting cut-off (1% Cu). Results include:
-
1.6m at 2.04% Cu, 16.10g/t Ag and 0.33g/t Au (WT-22-130)
-
3.5m at 1.59% Cu, 14.40g/t Ag and 0.32g/t Au (WT-22-133)
-
3.5m at 1.71% Cu, 19.92g/t Ag and 0.33g/t Au (WT-22-136)
-
2.2m at 2.23% Cu, 36.01g/t Ag and 0.67g/t Au (WT-22-142)
-
1.6m at 3.17% Cu, 28.30g/t Ag and 0.38g/t Au (WT-22-147).
Mineralisation across the eastern Talon target appears thinner and more discontinuous than in the southern and western Talon, with thickness and grade increasing from south to north. These results are likely to have an impact on the next update to the MRE.

The Company has also completed a surface mapping and sampling program across outcropping mineralisation in the eastern Talon. Results will be incorporated into the geological model and used to improve confidence in the upcoming MRE.
Southern Talon
Drilling in the southern Talon returned:
-
9.9m at 1.62% Cu, 12.07g/t Ag and 0.35g/t Au and 8.8m at 1.55% Cu, 12.77g/t Ag and 0.45g/t Au in drill hole WT-22-141 (Figure 2). This is the southernmost hole completed at Oracle Ridge in the current drilling program. Results are approximately 80 metres from topography to the south. Strong mineralisation in outcrop and historical workings at the nearby Leatherwood mine firmly suggests this mineralisation is continuous between WT-21-141 and surface.
-
11.8m at 1.35% Cu, 21.29g/t Ag and 0.35g/t Au in drill hole WT-22-139. Mineralisation is localised near the Leatherwood contact and shows thickness consistent with historical hole C-118, approximately 80 metres to the east. Results from WT-22-139 also strongly support the interpretation that mineralisation at the southern Talon is continuous to surface and daylights in the Leatherwood mine area.
Western Talon
Drilling at the western Talon tested potential southern extensions to mineralisation as well as gaps in the previous drilling.
Positive results were returned on both fronts including:
-
10.7m at 2.23% Cu, 19.62g/t Ag and 0.35g/t Au (including 0.9m at 8.63% Cu, 66.80g/t Ag and 1.03g/t Au); 10.5m at 1.23% Cu, 11.07g/t Ag and 0.31g/t Au and 33.9m at 1.11% Cu, 11.51g/t Ag and 0.27g/t Au (including 0.7m at 10.60% Cu, 28.20g/t Ag and 0.07g/t Au) in WT-22-110. The drill hole confirmed the thick mineralised intersection in nearby drill hole WT-21-45.
-
19.0m at 1.21% Cu, 10.13g/t Ag and 0.30g/t Au in WT-22-105 (Figure 3). This result has extended mineralisation southwards by approximately 50 metres.
-
4.1m at 3.38% Cu, 26.56g/t Ag and 0.35g/t Au and 5.3m at 2.00% Cu, 22.28g/t Ag and 0.37g/t Au in WT-22-87. Results were across three zones including a thin, high-grade interval at the top and two broader zones with lower grade mineralisation in the bottom section of the hole.
Other areas
Five holes were drilled at the western and northern end of Oracle Ridge:
-
Holes WT-22-88 and WT-22-95 were drilled to the south of the main mine area. WT-22-95 returned narrow mineralisation while WT-22-88 encountered an unexpected zone of 12.5m at 2.08% Cu, 18.81g/t Ag and 0.33g/t Au. This latter intercept is significantly thicker than mineralised intervals in nearby holes. A geological review is ongoing to establish if a different mineralisation structure can be ascertained from this interesting intercept.
-
WT-22-111 and WT-22-137 were drilled at the northern end of the mine area. The former did not return intersections above the cut-off grade. The latter returned a best interval of 3m at 2.10% Cu, 39.06g/t Ag and 0.25g/t Au in a thick, lower grade mineralised zone.

- WT-22-135 was designed to test for extensions to Inferred mineralisation in the western mine area. The drill hole intersected narrow, low grade mineralisation. This result, together with that reported for infill hole WT-22-134, is expected to have a negative impact on the next MRE in this area.

Resource Infill Results
Results from five 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. These holes are designed to improve resource confidence and are a necessary step for future studies.
Key observations from the results of resource infill holes include:
-
9.6m at 1.06% Cu, 9.23g/t Ag and 0.17g/t Au and 7.4m at 2.70% Cu, 34.64g/t Ag and 0.53g/t Au (including 1.2m at 7.38% Cu, 107.10g/t Ag and 1.82g/t Au) in WT-22-132. The drill hole was completed in the southern Talon area and broadly confirmed results from surrounding holes.
-
WT-22-138 and WT-22-146 were drilled in the eastern Talon and confirmed the thin nature of the mineralisation in this part of Oracle Ridge. Best results include:
-
0.8m at 3.27% Cu, 18.40g/t Ag and 0.13g/t Ag (WT-22-138)
-
o0.6m at 1.02% Cu, 13.45g/t Ag and 0.17g/t Au (WT-22-146) -
3.9m at 1.56% Cu, 12.20g/t Ag and 0.27g/t Au in WT-22-145 drilled in the eastern Talon.
-
1.2m at 1.18% Cu, 20.50g/t Ag and 0.06g/t Au in WT-22-134 testing the Inferred resource in the western mine area. The drill hole returned thinner and lower grade mineralisation than expected and will have an adverse impact on the resource estimate in this area.

Mineral Resource Estimate
SRK Consulting has been engaged to assist with the next update of the MRE which is expected to be announced by the end of September 2022.
OREX drilling
The Company is working closely with the United States Forest Service to finalise the drilling permit over the OREX target. OREX represents a high priority exploration opportunity due to its geological similarities and proximity to the Oracle Ridge mine as well as the significant mineralisation mapped and sampled during previous geological mapping campaigns (see ASX announcement 16 April 2021).
The planned drilling program is designed to minimise surface disturbance by using predominantly existing roads and establishing drill pads in areas requiring minimal clearing.

Geological mapping
There are several small-scale historical mines in the area surrounding the Oracle Ridge mine. These are now believed to be accessing the same mineralised system which the Company has been drilling over the last two years.
Geological mapping and sampling have been completed over some of these mines to improve the understanding of the local geology and assist with the compilation of a geological model. This work has supported the concept that the mineralisation currently being drilled daylights in the southern Talon area (e.g. Leatherwood mine, Figure 1) and the eastern Talon.
Further work is currently ongoing at historical prospects at the western end of the Project, where high-grade copper samples are documented in historical reports. Mapping will help understand the local geology, its correlation with the main mineralisation at Oracle Ridge and possibly identify drill targets to be tested as part of the resource expansion program.
Further Underground Activities
The Company has now planned key underground activities to be implemented after the underground infrastructure refurbishment provides working access to the mine. These include underground drilling and sampling.
Underground drilling
Underground drilling is expected to commence in early Q4 2022. The contract has been awarded to BoartLongyear on the back of the positive relationship built after two years of successful surface drilling at the Project.
The drilling program will focus on increasing resource confidence and achieving a drill spacing capable of supporting additional Measured and Indicated resources. Measured and Indicated resources are critical to the Company’s development journey because they can be converted into Proven and Probable reserves after completion of a pre-feasibility or feasibility study. A small portion of the planned drilling will also test for near mine targets.
Underground drilling offers several advantages over surface drilling namely:
-
Shorter holes, resulting in lower costs and faster drilling time; and
-
Improved accuracy, an important consideration when drilling at the tighter Measured and Indicated spacing where hole deviations must be minimised.
Underground sampling
Large sections of mineralised skarn material are intersected within the 18 kilometres of existing underground development. Eagle Mountain is planning an extensive underground sampling program to:
-
Channel sample the mineralised skarn (results of which can be used for future MRE updates);
-
Map and model the structures that control mineralisation, again benefitting future MREs; and
-
Provide bulk samples for large metallurgical tests such as crushing and grinding, blending, optimising recovery of copper, silver and gold and possible recovery of by-products such as magnetite and garnet. Just as important will be assessing how actual grades of bulk samples compare to the estimated local MRE grade.
ASX:EM2
eaglemountainmining.com.au

==> picture [129 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
It is likely that underground sampling could commence before underground drilling.
Project Development Activities
Underground Refurbishment
The Company has engaged an experienced mining contractor, GMS Mine Repair & Maintenance, and a former Mine Safety Health and Administration (MSHA) Inspector as our mine safety specialist, to bring the underground and surface infrastructure up to the required safety and operational standards. This is to comply with the local mining regulations due to the Oracle Ridge mine transitioning from an exploration only status to an active, non-producing status.
The contractor is currently on site and working to re-establish power and ventilation to the mine. Maintenance of the electrical infrastructure is ongoing including the transformer, high-voltage cables and power station. A generator has been leased and delivered to site, ready to power the electrical system after maintenance is completed. The primary and auxiliary fans will also undergo major maintenance to ensure all components are in good working order and replaced if needed. It is currently expected that the mine will be energised before the end of August.
Following this initial phase, the contractor will commence actual underground work by testing the existing ground support infrastructure and repairing or augmenting it as required. Specific attention will be devoted to drill stations where additional ground support will be installed. Several of the planned drill stations were actively used in the most recent underground drilling program completed by previous owners in 2014. It is expected that only minimal work will be required at these drill sites.
Following establishment of initial drill stations, the underground drill rig is expected to commence early in Q4 2022. Subsequently, the refurbishment and drilling program will continue in parallel. It is currently expected that the underground refurbishment will take between three to six months, depending on the amount of new or additional ground support required.

Metallurgy
The metallurgy of the Project has been significantly de-risked by actual production in the early 1990s when a saleable, clean copper-silver-gold concentrate was produced. The mine did encounter some processing challenges due to the lack of comprehensive studies covering different types of skarn mineralisation and poor crushing and grinding processes. During the 2010-2015 period, the previous owners of the project completed additional testwork which highlighted favourable copper, silver and gold recoveries.
The Company has engaged a metallurgist to review the historical production records and metallurgical studies and to recommend additional work to confirm and possibly improve on the previous results. This work will focus on:
-
Completing initial metallurgical studies on Talon area mineralisation;
-
Reviewing the different mineralogical characteristics of the different skarn and mineralisation styles across the mine. Due to the intrinsic variability of skarn mineralisation, it is important to understand the unique metallurgical characteristics of each area of the mine to assist with mine scheduling and processing down the track;
-
Reviewing and optimising crushing and grinding requirements as the early 1990s mill carried up to a 50% recirculating load;
-
Reviewing the potential presence of minerals or deleterious elements which could impact processing or concentrate saleability. As discussed above, based on previous processing and concentrate sales it is expected these will not be an issue;
-
Evaluating the viability of recovering additional by-product minerals such as magnetite and garnet; and
-
Assessing the potential benefits of ore sorting technology to reduce the material to be processed and, consequently, mill size and capital costs.
Water
While Arizona is a dry and hot state, it is endowed with substantial underground water resources. As part of the preliminary work to ensure a pathway to production, the Company is planning hydrogeological studies to identify sources of water for a potential mining operation. A consultant will be engaged to review existing information on geology and hydrology of the area, including water production from existing and historical water wells. After this desktop review, it is expected that one to three suitable sites will be proposed for the drilling of test wells.
Historical wells in the area have returned production rates capable of supporting a mine operation of the size currently envisioned at Oracle Ridge.
Permitting
Several permits required to recommence mining operations are already in place at Oracle Ridge, including Right of Way, Air Quality Permit and Aquifer Protection Permit. These permits were issued to the previous owners of the Project. Notwithstanding the requirement for revisions in the future, these existing permits are highly valuable as they show a successful history of approval with the local regulatory authorities. Specific support for the development of the Project was also obtained from Pima County in 2012.
As a result, the Company is keeping these permits active by engaging with the relevant authorities as they become due for renewal. The Company has also engaged an external consultant to review the permit status

of the Project and provide recommendations on the best way forward to initiate applications for permits which have not yet been obtained.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
-
Criteria JORC Code explanation Mineral tenement • Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including and land tenure agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint status ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings.
-
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.
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 57 Patented Mining Claims and 45 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 are likely to 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.
