Significant Resource Expansion Potential at Western Talon

  • High-grade stacked lodes potentially extend mineralisation over 190 metres to the south in the Western Talon area at Oracle Ridge.

  • Drill hole WT-21-25 intersects four high-grade lodes:

  • 9.1m at 2.39 % Cu, 22.47 g/t Ag and 0.22 g/t Au from 266.4m

    • Including 1.6m at 6.8 % Cu, 67.30 g/t Ag and 0.40 g/t Au from 266.4m
  • 3.7m at 3.13 % Cu, 25.38 g/t Ag and 0.75 g/t Au from 225m

  • 7.4m at 1.92 % Cu, 19.18 g/t Ag and 0.44 g/t Au from 239.5m

  • 13.8m at 1.54 % Cu, 13.22 g/t Ag and 0.28 g/t Au from 174.1m

  • Mineralisation remains open representing significant potential for resource expansion

  • Improving drilling productivity and assays pending for 15 holes

Eagle Mountain Mining CEO, Tim Mason, commented:

“The Western Talon is becoming a potential game changer at Oracle Ridge. We anticipated intersecting multiple stacked lodes in this area and WT-21-25 has encountered four strongly mineralised lodes with cumulative downhole length exceeding 34 metres. These results suggest high-grade mineralisation could be continuous for over 190 metres and strong potential remains for further extensions to the south.

The goal of the ongoing Resource Expansion program is to identify new mineralisation of sufficient grade to increase the existing Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). These results are a meaningful step in that direction. The stacked nature of the lodes at the Western Talon means that every successful hole could add significant tonnage to the MRE.

We are seeing improved drilling productivity as the monsoon season passes. We are eagerly waiting for assays for 18 holes, including two recently completed at the Western Talon.”

WT-21-25 was drilled in the Western Talon area, testing about 190 metres of undrilled area between two historic holes. 70 metres to the south of WT-21-25, historical hole C-115 intersected 17.1m at 2.14% Cu and 24.7 g/t Ag (Figure 1). Approximately 120 metres to the north of WT-21-25, historical hole C-019 had best intercepts of 2.1m at 5.76% Cu and 34.63 g/t Ag and 11.3m at 1.28% Cu and 12.32 g/t Ag and 12m at 1.13% Cu and 10.63 g/t Ag.

The potential endowment of Western Talon has been confirmed by recent results including, among others, drill hole WT-21-15 (best intersection of 10.6m at 2.10 % Cu, 16.92 g/t Ag and 0.58 g/t Au, approximately 120 metres to the north of WT-21-25).

Several observations augment the prospectivity of the Western Talon:

  • Drilling shows consistently multiple “stacked lodes”. These are geological units displaying extensive skarn alteration and mineralisation occurring one on top of the other, separated by intervals of lower grade mineralisation or barren material. Four key units appear to recur in most drill holes. These are interpreted to be the same four units that are highly endowed in the northern part of the Oracle Ridge mine, where the majority of the existing MRE is located.

  • Several holes at the Western Talon show these lodes to be high-grade, potentially capable of expanding the existing MRE.

  • The entire Talon target is characterised by a magnetic high anomaly. The anomaly is interpreted as being caused by abundant magnetite, a strongly magnetic mineral which is often closely associated with high-grade copper mineralisation at Oracle Ridge.

WT-21-25 confirmed these observations with four stacked lodes with moderate to abundant magnetite intersected. Results include:

  • 13.8m at 1.54 % Cu, 13.22 g/t Ag and 0.28 g/t Au from 174.1m

  • 3.7m at 3.13 % Cu, 25.38 g/t Ag and 0.75 g/t Au from 225m

  • 7.4m at 1.92 % Cu, 19.18 g/t Ag and 0.44 g/t Au from 239.5m

  • 9.1m at 2.39 % Cu, 22.47 g/t Ag and 0.22 g/t Au from 266.4m o Including 1.6m at 6.8 % Cu, 67.30 g/t Ag and 0.40 g/t Au from 266.4m

Page 3

Significantly, the new results in WT-21-25 strongly suggest that favourable mineralisation in C-019 and C-115 could be continuous over the entire 190 metre distance between these holes. Two additional holes, WT-21-29 and WT-21-32, have been completed in this area with assays pending.

Mineralisation remains open to the east and west (Figure 1 and Figure 3). Strong expansion potential exists to the south of drill hole C-115 (Figure 1). The likelihood of stacked, high-grade lodes at the Western Talon extending to the southern part of the Talon target, a distance of over 250 metres from C-115, is supported by sparse historical drilling.

Figure 2 – East-West section showing the location of recently completed hole WT-21-25. Note the unconstrained mineralisation in an east-west direction. Historic drillhole C-115 was drilled perpendicular to the section and the visual sulphides occur approximately 12 metres to the south of the reported intersection in WT-21-25. Lower intersections in C-115 occur approximately 30 and 70 metres to the south of section A-A’ and are not shown for clarity. See Figure 1 for details.

Next steps

Two holes have been completed between WT-21-25 and C-019 with assays pending. One rig is currently drilling at the Western Talon area, focusing on extensions to known mineralisation and infill to confirm the continuity of mineralisation between known intersections. The Company is currently planning to infill drill to a data density sufficient to declare an Inferred resource for the next Mineral Resource update.

Two additional drill rigs are currently operating at the project. One rig is targeting extensions to mineralisation in the southernmost part of the Talon target. The second rig is drilling the exciting goldcopper-silver target at the Golden Eagle prospect (see ASX announcement 23 August 2021), approximately two kilometres to the east of the mine portals.

18 holes are currently being cut, sampled and assayed with results pending.

done 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, Geesman 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 ton were milled since commencement
of operation.

Golden Eagle
•Small scall 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.
Red Hawk
•No historical exploration nor mining activities are known for the Red
Hawkarea
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. •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 byintrusive contacts.

Page 16

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
•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.
