This Announcement has been approved for release by the Board of Eagle Mountain Mining Limited
Appendix 1
==> picture [133 x 57] intentionally omitted <==
The Company’s Mineral Resource Statement has been compiled in accordance with the Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (The JORC Code 2012) and Chapter 5 of the ASX Listing Rules and ASX Guidance Note 31. The Company has no Ore Reserve estimates.
The Company governs its activities in accordance with industry best-practice. The resource reports and supporting data were subjected to internal analysis and peer-review before release.
Mineral Resources
During the financial year, the Company undertook a review of its Canadian N143-101 compliant mineral resource at its Oracle Ridge Copper Project (“Oracle Ridge”) in Arizona, USA, with the view to redefining the mineral resource as JORC 2012 compliant.
In late 2020, SRK Consulting (Australasia), was engaged to complete a review of the existing Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). A substantial amount of work was completed using a methodology best suited for the mineralisation style at Oracle Ridge, which included:
-
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 previous geological models did not include any structural data or interpretation; and
-
• Development of a new geological model.
On 14 December 2020, the Company announced its maiden JORC 2012 compliant Mineral Resource estimate (MRE). The MRE for the Oracle Ridge Project at 12.2Mt at 1.51% Cu, 16.3g/t Ag and 0.19g/t Au for 184kt Cu, 6.4Moz Ag and 73koz of Au (Indicated and Inferred at 1.0% Cu cut-off).
| Class | Tonnage (Mt) | Cu(%) | Ag (g/t) | Au(g/t) | Cu(t) | Ag (Oz) | Au(Oz) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indicated | 6.6 | 1.52 | 15.8 | 0.19 | 100,000 | 3,348,000 | 40,000 |
| Inferred | 5.6 | 1.50 | 17.0 | 0.18 | 84,000 | 3,033,000 | 33,000 |
| Total | 12.2 | 1.51 | 16.3 | 0.19 | 184,000 | 6,382,000 | 73,000 |
N ote - Totals may not add due to rounding differences
The maiden JORC MRE is broadly in-line with the previous NI43-101 MRE, providing confidence in the updated estimate. The updated JORC Mineral Resource estimate has a modest 4% increase in total tonnes when compared with the previous NI43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate (ASX 29 October 2019).
