Quarterly Activities Report for the Period Ending December 2020

HIGHLIGHTS

Oracle Ridge Copper Project

  • Resource expansion drilling continued with 12 drill holes completed during the quarter for 4,327 meters on a 20 day on, 10 day off roster working both day and night shifts

  • Majority of holes drilled intersected reportable copper/ gold / silver mineralisation beyond the envelope of the existing Mineral Resource Estimate providing potential for the current resource base to be expanded

  • New zone of high-grade mineralised breccia discovered:

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

  • Interpreted as sub-vertical zone and potentially a ‘feeder’ from a deeper mineralised system

  • Significant new mineralised skarn zone discovered along the contact of the Leatherwood Intrusive within intercepts including 8.4m at 2.8% Cu (WT-20-11) and 15.1m at 1.72% Cu (WT-20-05)

  • Maiden JORC Resource Estimate (MRE) completed:

  • 12.2Mt at 1.51% Cu for 184kt Cu compares favourably to the previous NI43-101 MRE

  • None of the drilling undertaken in 2020 was included in the MRE providing potential for the resource base to be expanded

  • A steep grade tonnage curve provides optionality for future mining studies using different copper cut-offs. For example, 18.6Mt at 1.30% Cu for 242kt contained copper using 0.8% Cu cut-off - an increase of ~30% contained copper metal (refer Table 2)

  • Many existing historic drilling intercepts remain outside the JORC Resource estimate due to lack of drill density

  • Land holding at Oracle Ridge nearly doubled with staking of two large, near-mine zones which are prospective for additional copper mineralisation:

  • Very strong geophysical anomaly at Red Hawk

  • Outcropping copper / silver mineralisation at OREX

Corporate

  • Placement in October at $0.30 per share raised $1.5 million to extend drilling program at Oracle Ridge

  • An entity associated with major shareholder, Charles Bass, exercised its $0.30 options early providing an additional $1.35 million in proceeds

OVERVIEW

Eagle Mountain Chief Executive Officer, Tim Mason, said: “This quarter saw a significant level of exploration activity at our Oracle Ridge Project in Arizona. Our aim is to expand the existing mineral resource to support a future, low-cost mining operation. In order to do this, we need to grow the existing mineral resource base. The strong drilling results received during the quarter support our view that the Oracle Ridge remains underexplored and there is strong potential to expand the existing mineral resources.

We are focusing on understanding the broader geological setting around Oracle Ridge, as we believe there is potential to find further mineralisation beyond the currently known skarn zones. We acquired new ground over two prospective target areas and we currently have two teams in the field undertaking further mapping with the aim of defining priority drill targets. We will look to drill these targets once all permits have been received.

The discovery of the high-grade breccia zone in hole WT-20-10 is both exciting and intriguing. While it is early days, the style and high-grade nature of the mineralisation (1.5m at 11.55% Cu, 273 g/t Ag and 5.41 g/t Au) could add very high-grade mineralisation to the MRE and could also be a potential “plumbing system” pointing towards a deeper mineralised system.

A maiden JORC Resource was completed during the quarter, which compares favourably to the previous NI43-101. This provides confidence in the updated estimate. Importantly, the strong results from the recent drilling have not been included which provides an opportunity to upgrade the Resource in the future.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, we have engaged Dr Larry Meinert, a highly regarded expert in skarn geology. We are thrilled that Larry will be supporting our team with advancing exploration activities at Oracle Ridge.“

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.

Overview of Activities

Following the release of a significant exploration target in Q3 2020, a maiden diamond drill program commenced in September 2020. The surface diamond drill program aims to expand the existing mineralisation with all holes targeting areas outside the existing resource estimate. Twelve holes were successfully drilled during the quarter.

Assay results received during the quarter were very encouraging with the majority of holes intersecting reportable mineralisation. See Attachment 1 for a full summary of results. Below is a selection of results received during the quarter.

  • 1.5m at 11.55% Cu , 273 g/t Ag and 5.41 g/t Au from 348.7 m (WT-20-10)[1]

Late in the quarter, a high-grade breccia zone was discovered in drillhole WT-20-10. This breccia has been interpreted as a sub-vertical zone which may be part of the “plumbing system” from a deeper mineralised system below the Leatherwood granitic intrusive (refer ASX announcement 22 December 2020). The Company is reviewing the geological information regarding the breccia, and subsequent to the quarter, an expert skarn geologist was engaged to assist with modelling, interpretation and targeting.

Maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE)

During the quarter, the Company announced a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Update (Refer ASX Announcement 14 December 2020). Based on the estimate prepared by SRK Consulting using a 1.0% Cu cut-off grade, Oracle Ridge contains 12.2Mt at 1.51% Cu, 16.3/t Ag and 0.19g/t Au for a contained 184kt Cu, 6.4Moz Ag and 73koz of Au as shown in Table 1, Table 2 and Figure 5 below.

The maiden JORC MRE was the culmination of over six months of work by Eagle Mountain including:

  • Review, verification and interpretation of historical datasets;

  • Integration of historical datasets with information uncovered during the review which had never been previously digitised (e.g. structures, alteration, mineralogy, missing surveys);

  • Development of a maiden structural model as the previous geological models did not include any structural data or interpretation; and

  • Development of a new geological model.

SRK Consulting, a highly reputable mining consultancy, completed the MRE using a methodology best suited for the mineralisation style at Oracle Ridge. The substantial amount of work completed has improved the data quality and delivered a robust geological model supporting the maiden JORC MRE and any future activities at Oracle Ridge. Significantly, none of the drill holes completed since the commencement of the resource expansion drilling program commenced in September 2020 have been included in the JORC MRE, providing significant opportunity for a resource upgrade in the future.

Near Mine Exploration Potential

Since Oracle Ridge was acquired by Eagle Mountain in November 2019, the Company has undertaken broader systematic exploration programs around the mine. The aim of the programs was to identify prospective areas to build on the existing mineral resource base.

The exploration programs included regional airborne VTEM[TM] Plus geophysics, multi-spectral analysis, historical data review and geological mapping and sampling.

During the quarter, the Company announced the results of this work which culminated in the staking of an additional 105 Unpatented Mining Claims (“Claims”) over two prospective areas named OREX and Red Hawk. OREX is prospective for skarn-hosted high-grade Cu-Ag-Au mineralisation hosted below the Leatherwood intrusive. Red Hawk is potentially prospective for porphyry copper mineralisation (Figure 6). These new Claims nearly double the previous landholding at Oracle Ridge.

Figure 6 - Oracle Ridge area with existing tenements and new Unpatented Mining Claims over OREX and Red Hawk prospects. Results of VTEM[TM] Plus surveys shown within recently staked ground.

OREX - Oracle Ridge Extension

OREX is contiguous to the Oracle Ridge tenements on the east side. 81 Claims have been staked covering an area of approximately 6 km[2] of new ground. Interpretation of historical exploration data, recent geophysics and surface mapping indicates potential for skarn-hosted mineralisation similar to that found at Oracle Ridge over a three kilometre length (refer ASX announcement 12 October 2020).

Key highlights and observations include:

  • Mineralisation observed in the Leatherwood intrusive which opens potential for this as a prospective new style of mineralisation. This interpretation is also being supported by recent drilling results which has also seen mineralisation within the Leatherwood;

  • Grab samples assaying up to 9.15% Cu, 192 g/t Ag and 0.15 g/t Au from historical dump material at a small adit within Leatherwood intrusive (Figure 7); and

  • Grab samples returned up to 2.38% Cu, 721g/t Ag, 0.44g/t Au and 0.32% Zn from outcropping mineralised skarn below the Leatherwood intrusive.

Red Hawk

Red Hawk covers a strong VTEM[TM] Plus electromagnetic anomaly and is located approximately 5 kilometres to the north-east of Oracle Ridge. 24 new Claims have been staked in the area covering this anomaly. Highlights from this prospective area include:

  • Two adjacent, strong electromagnetic anomalies;

  • Anomalies are consistent with plate model conductors dipping gently to the North-East;

  • Anomalies sit within a mapped regional granite and do not appear skarn related; and

  • Field reconnaissance identified a strongly altered and brecciated, hematite-rich quartzite.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, two crews of geologists commenced mapping at Red Hawk and OREX. The objective of the program is to enhance the understanding of the geological setting at Oracle Ridge. Geophysical anomalies have been identified at both of these target areas, along with outcropping copper / silver / gold mineralisation at OREX. Specific drill targets will be defined for future exploration.

Silver Mountain Project (100% Owned)

No work was undertaken at Silver Mountain during the quarter.

COVID

The state of Arizona has seen a steady increase in the number of COVID cases. The Company has taken various stringent and proactive steps to minimise the risk of transmissions including regular testing of all employees and drilling crews. Results from recent testing showed negative results for all employees and drilling crews.

CORPORATE

Capital Raised

During the quarter, a placement raised $1.5 million to extend the drilling program underway at Oracle Ridge. The placement of 5,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares was made at an issue price of $0.30 per share and was strongly supported by Australian and European institutional investors. PAC Partners and Taylor Collison again acted as Joint Lead Managers to this placement.

Also in the quarter, Silver Mountain Nominee Pty Ltd, an entity associated with Managing Director, Charles Bass, converted 4.5 million options converting at $0.30 each which raised another $1.35 million.

Cash

Cash on hand at the end of the quarter was A$2,350,000 held in both Australian and US denominations.

Other Matters

During the quarter the Company agreed terms to defer the repayment of an unsecured loan for US$1.0 million to 31 December 2021. In addition the lender, Quartz Mountain Mining Pty Ltd (a Company associated with Mr Charles Bass) agreed to accept 950,000 options to acquire ordinary shares in lieu of the payment of interest on the loan, the options are exercisable by payment of $0.20 on or before 1 July 2022.

In accordance with the reporting requirements of ASX Listing Rule 5.3 the Company incurred $2,095,000 on exploration and evaluation activities during the quarter. There was no mining development or production activities conducted during the quarter.

Expenditure predominantly related to:

  • Exploration Drilling at the Oracle Ridge Copper Project;

  • Technical consulting services; and

  • General fieldwork.

During the quarter, the Company made payments to related parties of $67,129 comprising $37,500 in remuneration paid to Directors and $29,629 in rent paid to an entity associated with Mr Charles Bass.

Mining exploration entity or oil and gas exploration entity quarterly cash flow report

  • 8.8 If item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, please provide answers to the following questions:

  • 8.8.1 Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current level of net operating cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not?

Answer: During the December quarter the Company received $1.5 million (before costs) from a share placement and an additional $1.35 million from the exercise of options by major shareholder Silver Mountain Mining Nominee Pty Ltd.

The funds received from the placement and exercise of options were used to fund an extended diamond drilling program at the high-grade Oracle Ridge Copper Project in Arizona. Future exploration activity is planned to be at a similar level, however it is discretionary and exploration programs will be dependent on available cash. The Company is considering its funding options and notes it has 12.06m options expiring over the next 6 months which would yield $2.8 million if exercised. This includes 4.5m options exercisable at 30 cents each expiring on 6 March 2021. The remaining 7.56m options have an exercise price of 20 cents each.

  • 8.8.2 Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it believe that they will be successful?

  • Answer: The Company has not taken any steps to raise further capital and notes that in addition to the comments in 8.8.1 it enjoys the support of its Board and key shareholders and it believes that if and when it resolves to raise additional capital it will be successful.

  • 8.8.3 Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business objectives and, if so, on what basis?

  • Answer: The Company expects that it will be able to continue its operations and to meet its business objectives. Refer to 8.8.1

  • Note: where item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, all of questions 8.8.1, 8.8.2 and 8.8.3 above must be answered.
