Multiple High-Grade Zones Intersected Including 25.5% Cu, 1,935g/t Ag and 15.2g/t Au

Highlights

  • Diamond drilling from surface has intersected multiple narrow high-grade veins, including:

  • 25.5% Cu, 1,935g/t Ag and 15.2g/t Au over 0.6m (WT-22-175)

  • The above result was from a resource upgrade hole located in the north-east Oracle area

  • Drilling around the historic Daily mine area, which falls outside the existing resource, returned the following high-grade results:

  • 3.20% Cu, 117.84g/t Ag and 0.28g/t Au over 6.7m (WT-22-172)

  • 3.18% Cu, 27.85g/t Ag and 0.08g/t Au over 5.0m (WT-22-171)

  • 9.78% Cu, 66.40g/t Ag and 0.22g/t Au over 0.9m (WT-22-170)

  • 5.54% Cu, 48.30g/t Ag and 0.12g/t Au over 0.6m (WT-22-168)

  • Expansion drilling around the historic Geesaman mine area included:

  • 7.68% Cu, 28.60g/t Ag and 0.11g/t Au over 2.2m (WT-22-176)

  • 3.75% Cu, 0.66g/t Ag over 0.4m (WT-22-179)

  • High-grade zones such as these demonstrate that the mineralisation is not uniform and there are areas of spectacular grade. This could be an indicator of a larger system or thicker areas in the vicinity.

  • Underground drilling well underway, targeting resource upgrades and extensions.

  • Underground wall sampling program ramping-up with the aim to upgrade existing resources and model very high-grade zones within the mine. Assays for wall sampling are pending.

  • Assay results from nine surface holes and five underground holes pending.

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

“We are pleased to see more impressive high-grade assay results at our Oracle Ridge Project, including one of the highest copper and silver assays ever recorded. These very high-grade zones demonstrate that the mineralisation at Oracle Ridge is not uniform and there are areas of spectacular grade. Could these zones be an indicator of a larger system or thicker areas in the vicinity? One key objective of the recently commenced underground sampling and mapping program is to assess the extent of these very high-grade zones which could have a considerable positive impact on the resource model and potential future mining operation. “

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.

Assay results have been received for 15 drill holes with key points outlined below. Figure 2 shows the location of various drill holes results reported in this announcement. Further details of the drill hole results are provided in Attachment 1.

North-East Mine Area

A single resource upgrade hole was drilled in the north-east mine area which intercepted some of the highest grades encountered at Oracle Ridge. The intercept was within a bornite-rich, structurally controlled zone in the Escabrosa formation with the following spectacular assays:

o 25.5% Cu, 1,935g/t Ag and 15.2g/t Au over 0.6m (WT-22-175)

This hole unfortunately deviated off target and intercepted an unsurveyed existing development drive, thereby not reaching the desired final depth. This result demonstrates the potential for additional localised high-grade structures which have not yet been identified by existing drilling due to the wider drill hole spacing.

Historic Daily Mine Area

The Daily mine area is entirely outside the existing resource. Drilling in this area was targeted at potential extensions to previously mined mineralisation. The results from six drill holes were received, with multiple strong intercepts received including:

  • 3.20% Cu, 117.84g/t Ag and 0.28g/t Au over 6.7m (WT-22-172)

  • 3.18% Cu, 27.85g/t Ag and 0.08g/t Au over 5.0m (WT-22-171)

  • 9.78% Cu, 66.40g/t Ag and 0.22g/t Au over 0.9m (WT-22-170)

  • 5.54% Cu, 48.30g/t Ag and 0.12g/t Au over 0.6m (WT-22-168)

Two holes intercepted voids, most likely from previous mining activities. An underground survey is warranted to model the previously extracted areas and enable further targeting of mineralised zones. The Daily mine area has been flooded to an unknown depth for many years, which prohibits entry to map and sample the remaining mineralisation. Until this area is dewatered, the only way to test it is by further drilling.

Historic Geesaman Mine Area

Six resource expansion holes (WT-22-173, 174, 176-179) were drilled in the north-east of the existing mineral resource, near the historic Geesaman mine workings. The drilling intercepted some high-grade narrow zones which indicates that mineralisation extends towards the north-east and Geesaman mine workings. Results included:

  • 7.68% Cu, 28.60g/t Ag and 0.11g/t Au over 2.2m (WT-22-176)

  • 3.75% Cu, 0.66g/t Ag over 0.4m (WT-22-179)

The Talon

Results were received from two holes in the Talon. Drill hole WT-22-165 was a resource expansion hole which targeted extensions to mineralisation along the leatherwood contact. The drill hole intercepted a 2.5m zone grading 1.66% Cu, 8.11g/t Ag and 0.18g/t Au.

Drill hole WT-22-166 was a resource upgrade hole targeting mineralisation in the inferred resource category. The hole confirmed good spatial confirmation of mineralisation, although grade and widths are less than surrounding holes.

Underground Mapping and Sampling

Following the recent refurbishment of parts of the underground mine, a mapping and sampling program has commenced. The sampling program involves cutting a sawtooth pattern on the walls and taking continuous samples from the cut. The benefits of this program include:

  • Being relatively faster and cost effective compared to diamond drilling;

  • Allowing detailed sampling in areas likely to be mined early in a future production sequence;

  • Providing a high-resolution dataset for geological and resource modelling;

  • Improving understanding of the distribution and geological controls of high-grade zones; and

  • Providing representative samples for metallurgical testwork.

Initial results of the mapping program are pending.

Photos of the recent sampling are shown below.

Underground Drilling Program

Underground drilling commenced in mid-January, with the aim of upgrading existing Indicated Resources to Measured Resources. Slower than anticipated drill rates were achieved during January due to mechanical and water supply issues however progress has improved during February. Additional drilling has been added to the existing program after assessment of high-grade features observed in holes such as WT-22-175.

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,
Geesaman 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 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 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.

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.
Golden Eagle
• Based on early stage exploration drilling, interpretation of the
deposit type for Golden Eagle is ongoing. The majority of
elevated gold and base metals (copper, lead, zinc) from drill
results are hosted within granitic rocks. These granites are
bounded by what are interpreted to be younger intrusive rocks
to the east and schists to the west.
• Thegold-rich system isproximal to the lithological contact

and oxidation. The base metal or polymetallic system occurs
