OVERVIEW

Eagle Mountain Chief Executive Officer, Tim Mason, said:

“The results of the field mapping undertaken at OREX during the quarter is beginning to show the sheer scale of prospective areas at Oracle Ridge. This latest field program mapped the lower contact of the Leatherwood granitic intrusive over four kilometres with abundant copper skarn across the contact. When you look at the size of our existing resources in comparison with the scale of outcropping mineralisation, the potential scale of Oracle Ridge becomes evident.

With the operations team under the new leadership of Manuel Ramos, our CEO of US Operations, I am very pleased with our progress this quarter. We have continued to build our broader geological knowledge of Oracle Ridge with multiple streams of geological studies in progress, along with diamond drilling and field mapping ongoing. The combined knowledge from these geological workstreams is building a solid pipeline of quality drill targets.

The high-grade drilling results during the quarter were some of the best assays ever received at Oracle Ridge. Two high-grade intercepts in separate areas were received, both outside the JORC resources and further display the potential for more mineralisation to be discovered. We welcome new geologists to the team in Arizona and Australia who will support us in our accelerated drilling program which aims to build upon our existing Resource to support future studies and hopefully restart operations.

With the completion of the capital raise during the quarter, we are well funded to accelerate our drilling and we thank existing and new shareholders who supported our raise.”

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

Oracle Ridge Copper Mine Project (80% Owned)

Eagle Mountain owns an 80% interest in the Oracle Ridge Copper Mine, located north east of Tucson, Arizona.

Eagle Mountain aims to become a sustainable low-cost copper producer at Oracle Ridge. To achieve this goal, Eagle Mountain is undertaking various exploration activities around the mine with the aim of growing the existing high-grade mineral resource base.

Oracle Ridge has significant infrastructure in place, including approximately 18 kilometres of underground development, access roads, tailings facility (since closed), underground electrical and water services.

Oracle Ridge Extension “OREX”

Based on encouraging results from an initial field mapping program at OREX in 2020 (see ASX Announcement 12 October 2020), a detailed mapping project was undertaken during the quarter. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, assays confirmed extensive occurrences of outcropping skarn hosted copper-silver-gold mineralisation along the lower contact of the Leatherwood intrusive and the skarn horizon. Over 100 grab samples were collected with many returning highgrade mineralisation (see Figure 1 below which shows the location of the lower Leatherwood – sediments contact and some of the high-grade rock chip samples along this zone). The limestone formations and resulting skarn are very similar to those encountered at the Oracle Ridge mine.

The results of this latest field work indicates that OREX is an outstanding target to define additional skarn-hosted copper mineralisation at Oracle Ridge. Alteration and mineralisation at OREX and at the Oracle Ridge mine display many similarities. At the mine, orebodies occur at or near the upper Leatherwood-sediments contact while mineralisation at OREX has been identified at the lower Leatherwood-sediments contact.

The lower contact of the Leatherwood intrusive at OREX can be traced at surface for over four kilometres and displays discontinuous skarn alteration and mineralisation over its entire length. Based on Eagle Mountain’s recent mapping and review of historical drilling information (ASX announcement 12 October 2020), the Company believes that the prospective contact exists at depth below the Leatherwood for approximately three kilometres in an east-west direction (Figure 2).

Diamond Drilling

The surface diamond drill program continued during the quarter with the aim of expanding the existing mineralisation. Eight holes for a total of 3,186m were drilled during the period with all holes targeting areas outside the existing resource estimate.

Assay results received during the quarter were very encouraging with two separate zones reporting strong assays outside the existing Resource model. This includes a new zone of mineralisation towards the south and another at the very northern extent of the JORC resources. Figure 3 below shows the location of selected assays received during the quarter.

New Discovery – Southern Area

In the previous quarter, the Company discovered a new zone of mineralisation along the upper Leatherwood contact. During the quarter, results in this area included the outstanding high-grade intercept of 12.7m at 3.96% Cu, 49.11g/t Ag and 1.3g/t Au. Included in this zone was 34.4% Cu, 367g/t Ag and 26.2g/t Au over 0.4m in massive chalcopyrite zone, the highest assay grades received at Oracle Ridge. Massive sulphides had not been previously encountered by Eagle Mountain at Oracle Ridge. This is an exciting discovery and the technical team and its consultants are assessing the relevance of this interval and its implications for the prospectivity of this area. Large portions of the Leatherwood contact remain untested across the Project.

This latest intercept added to the previous drill results in this new mineralised area which includes:

  • 13.3m at 2.43% Cu, 52.6g/t Ag and 0.94g/t Au from 348.7m (WT-20-10) including o 1.5m at 11.55% Cu, 273 g/t Ag and 5.41 g/t Au from 348.7 m (WT-20-10)

  • 1.3m at 9.14% Cu, 52.5g/t Ag and 0.69g/t Au from 275.2m (WT-20-11)

  • 39m at 1.17% Cu, 10.26g/t Ag and 0.23g/t Au from 210.0m (WT-20-06) including: o 2.95m at 6.67% Cu, 63.5g/t Ag and 0.87g/t Au

Northern Area – Resource Extensions

During the quarter, drilling commenced in a sparsely drilled area at the northern extent of the project, outside the JORC resources. The first hole drilled returned 12m at 3.47% Cu and 50.22g/t Ag from 73.3m (WT-21-03). This intersection potentially extends mineralisation encountered in historical drill holes by 100 metres (Figure 5). Substantial potential remains to the west with moderate potential to the south.

It is interpreted that the mineralisation is dipping towards the south, so the true thickness of the mineralisation is likely to be less than that shown in Figure 5.

To the south of this hole, WT-21-04 was drilled targeting extensions to unassayed mineralisation in historical hole C-011. This hole also intersected strong results grading 14m at 2.1% Cu, 22.62g/t Ag and 0.05g/t Au near the Leatherwood-sediments contact. This potentially extends the historical mineralisation 60 metres to the north. The gold values encountered in this area are low and may suggest different mineralising events across the skarn. This geochemical variation will be considered as part of ongoing vectoring towards the potential source of the mineralisation.

Accelerating Drilling at Oracle Ridge

In preparation for accelerating drilling activities, the Company commenced upgrades to access roads and installation of pads for future drilling during the quarter. Subsequent to the end of the

quarter the Company confirmed that a second diamond drill rig is planned to mobilise to site by 10 May 2021 after which both drills will transition to full time drilling. These changes will result in approximately a three-fold increase in the drilling rate over the coming quarter.

The accelerated exploration program will concentrate on the following areas:

  • Leatherwood Contact – The discovery of strong mineralisation along the Leatherwood contact in the southern area of Oracle Ridge indicates significant potential for further mineralisation in this area and also across the full Project.

  • Resource Upgrade – Infill drilling with the view of establishing a Measured Resource within the next upgrade to our Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). This program will be completed in preparation for mining studies in areas likely to be mined early in the potential production profile. Metallurgical testwork will also be undertaken in preparation for the optimisation of processing methods.

  • Oracle Ridge Extension “OREX” – Highly prospective for additional skarn-hosted coppersilver-gold mineralisation in a similar geological setting to the Oracle Ridge mine. Recent geological mapping and sampling identified extensive outcropping mineralisation along a 4 kilometre zone with copper grades up to 10.6% Cu (refer ASX announcement 20 March 2021). Further work will include geophysics, data compilation, drill targeting and drilling.

  • Golden Eagle – The area contains high-grade, shallow gold-copper mineralisation near historical mine workings. The Company is reviewing the results of recently completed mapping and drone magnetic programs in the area.

  • Deep Porphyry Potential – Targeting the source of the skarn mineralisation below the Leatherwood granitic intrusive that may host a deeper mineralised porphyry system. Advanced studies are currently ongoing to improve the understanding of the alteration system at Oracle Ridge and allow vectoring towards the potential deep porphyry.

  • Red Hawk - Very strong geophysical anomaly which is prospective for a large copper mineralised porphyry system. The Company is currently assessing additional exploration activities in the area including a selection of suitable drill pad locations for an initial drill program.

CEO Silver Mountain Mining Operations Appointed

Former Asarco President, Mr Manuel Ramos, was appointed as CEO of US Operations during the quarter. Mr Ramos is a veteran of the Arizona copper industry. He was President and Chief Operating Officer for ASARCO LLC between 2009 and 2018. Prior to that position, Mr Ramos was VP Metallurgical Operations for over 10 years at ASARCO. ASARCO, now a subsidiary of Grupo México, is a large integrated copper company which operates the Mission, Silver Bell and Ray copper mine complexes in Arizona along with the Hayden Copper Smelter, all within a few hours’ drive of Eagle Mountain’s Oracle Ridge Project. Prior to ASARCO, Mr Ramos held various

managerial positions with Grupo México over a 25 year period. Mr Ramos is a highly regarded Arizona businessman who brings a wealth of experience and resource industry knowledge, along with broad US networks to this new role.

A key objective for Mr Ramos is to take the Oracle Ridge Project from exploration through to feasibility and potentially operations. He will also identify and assess further growth opportunities and potential project acquisitions for Eagle Mountain in Arizona.

Skarn Expert Engaged

Dr. Larry Meinert, a world-renowned skarn expert, was engaged during the quarter to assist with exploration activities at Oracle Ridge. Dr Meinert is an expert in magmatic-hydrothermal systems that form world-class skarn deposits. He has studied most major skarn deposits of the world and worked with exploration/mining companies on both brownfield and greenfield properties.

He has an active research program with more than 200 peer-reviewed publications including many on skarn deposits and is the Chief Editor of Economic Geology , the leading international scientific journal in this field.

Dr Meinert’s expert understanding of skarn zonation will guide geological investigations which aim to vector toward potential sources of further mineralisation.

Golden Eagle

During the quarter, access was secured to an area the Company has labelled “Golden Eagle” which includes multiple historic gold-copper mines along a north west to south east trend. The area is less than three kilometres from the Oracle Ridge mine. In addition to obtaining access to “Golden Eagle”, Wedgetail also secured access to all Pima County patented claims that fall within the OREX unpatented claim area.

Access to both these prospective claims, which are held by Pima County will facilitate initial “low disturbance“ exploration. Figure 1 shows the location of these areas in relation to existing claims held by Wedgetail.

Silver Mountain Project (100% Owned)

No work was undertaken at Silver Mountain during the quarter.

COVID

The state of Arizona has seen a steady decrease in the number of COVID cases. The Company continues to take various stringent and proactive steps to minimise the risk of transmissions including regular testing of all employees and drilling crews. Vaccinations of the general population are well advanced across Arizona.
