West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Projects

Enegex (ASX: ENX ) has built a strategic tenure position in the West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE province of Western Australia. The prospectivity of the West Yilgarn as an endowed mineral province is demonstrated by the discovery of the nearby Gonneville Ni-Cu-PGE resource at Julimar ( Figure 1 ) by Chalice Mining.

The province is now a focus of exploration activity following the Julimar discovery.

Enegex Project Overview

Enegex West Yilgarn tenements are divided into five project areas; Miamoon, Miling, Walebing, Goomalling and Green Hills (Figure 2).

The understanding of the Archean geology across the Enegex project areas is still being developed. Private freehold farming land is prevalent across the West Yilgarn province. The area has undergone precursory geology and explorative work largely limited to broad-scale government mapping, interpreting the bedrock geology as metamorphic sedimentary, greenstone and granite ( Figure 2 ). The economic potential of the province is highlighted by the Julimar discovery of Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation within a mafic-ultramafic host rock sequence (the Gonneville intrusion) in an area historically interpreted to be a granitic domain.

Whilst the geology of Enegex tenements is, at this stage, not well defined, government geology maps record small areas of outcropping mafic (greenstone) to ultramafic units scattered across a number of Enegex tenement areas including Miamoon and Milling. The presence of these mafic-ultramafic rock units on Enegex tenements is encouraging. An ongoing focus for Enegex is to determine mineralisation potential with further definition and evaluation of these units.

Exploration Activities

Summary

Activities during the quarter were focused on reconnaissance visits to target areas where land access has been successfully negotiated. Reconnaissance mapping and sampling commenced at the Goomalling and Green Hills projects and continued across a number of other projects.

Access to the Edward Crossing gold prospect in the Green Hills project area was negotiated during the quarter and a soil sampling program completed. Soil sampling involved the collection of 73 samples and results are pending.

An agreement was executed in March for the sale of tenement E70/5442 (part of Walebing Project) to Caravel Minerals Ltd. As part of the agreement, consideration due to Enegex included royalty, cash payment and an extensive historical proprietary surface sampling data set across Enegex’s West Yilgarn project areas.

Enegex’s near term objective is to define quality targets for testing as soon as feasible. Potential target areas were defined across Enegex tenure and a process of target ranking is ongoing where targets are dynamically assessed and prioritised according to accessibility, geological reconnaissance field visits and geochemical sampling results.

Miamoon Project

An Airborne Falcon Gravity Gradiometer (AGG) survey was completed over the western part of the Miamoon Project in late 2021. Following gravity data interpretation and modelling, numerous geophysical target areas were defined and are shown on the right panel of Figure 3 , with priority targets highlighted in red.

During the quarter, reconnaissance visits were made to two target area in the northeast and the central south with sparse outcrops of granite, gneiss and dolerite observed. Further access negotiations are required to progress the assessment of these target areas.

A DMIRS co-funded drilling grant under the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) in respect of RC drilling at the Miamoon project was previously awarded to Enegex and is available for drilling completed in the period ending 31 May 2023. The grant is for an amount of $90,500 and based on drilling 6 RC holes for 1600m to test the Spitfire target. Limited progress has been made to advance the ‘Spitfire’ and ‘Crusader’ priority drill target targets as access has not been granted by freehold landholders to date. Despite a number of meetings with the landholder at the Spitfire target during the reporting period, an agreement to complete a small drill program over the target could not be reached, with the landowner indicating he would investigate the request further.

Miling Project

A number of prioritised exploration targets occur across the Miling project where magnetic anomalies are coincident with prospective stratigraphy and also where mineralised trends identified on adjacent tenements potentially extend in strike into Enegex tenements (Figure 4).

During the quarter, reconnaissance visits were made to two target area on two separate landholdings. At one target, an occurrence of ultramafic rock float was noted less than 1.5km from Todd River Resource’s Eastern mineralised trend within its Berkshire Valley Project. A sample of the ultramafic was submitted for laboratory analysis and results are pending.

Landowner access negotiations for the northern part of E70/5445, where the Ni-Cu-PGE anomaly in the adjacent Todd River Resources tenure is projected to extend, is still ongoing.

Several occurrences of mafic and ultramafic rocks were also observed in a number of other localities across the project area that could be potential host rocks for the Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation style that Enegex is targeting. These areas will be the focus of more detailed mapping in granted access areas in the next reporting period.

Walebing

Reconnaissance mapping was undertaken over three target areas within tenement E70/5441 in the east and E70/5439 in the north during the quarter.

The target feature within E70/5441 is a strongly magnetic linear feature interpreted to represent a prospective mafic-ultramafic sequence. However, the area is under cover and no outcrop or float was identified over the target area during the field visit.

The target within the north-west part of E70/5439, is a series of east-west trending quartz veins that have a strike length of over 1km. An array of quartz veins were mapped and sampled during the quarter with a total of 16 grab samples collected and sent to Intertek Genalysis, Perth for analysis. Results are pending.

Goomalling

Reconnaissance mapping commenced at the Goomalling project during the reporting period. Mapping was completed over all target areas where land access has been obtained. A total of 44 samples across the targets were collected and analysed by handheld XRF and 8 samples were sent to Intertek Genalysis, Perth for analysis. Results are pending.

Mapping of the target areas identified granite, gneiss and dolerite with minor encouraging occurrences of diorite and ultramafic. Rock exposure is good across the area.

In the north-east of the project area, granite containing disseminated pyrite was observed in the drill cuttings from a water bore approximately 2.5km east of the Mortlock River and 10km south-east of Caravel’s Opie Copper resource. Laboratory results of several samples from the cuttings are pending. The mapped geology in the area is dominated by gneiss and granite that is intruded by a narrow east-west trending quartz gabbro. A soil sampling program is planned to geochemically test this area during the next reporting period.

Green Hills

A first pass soil sampling program consisting of 73 samples collected on a 200m by 50m grid was completed over the Edwards Crossing Gold Prospect (Figure 5). The prospect is located at a north-east trending contact between a quartzolite and narrow ultramafic intrusive. The prospect site consists of a shallow pit approximately 5m wide that is thought to overlie an historical shaft. Land access was successfully negotiated with the landowner during the reporting period.

Figure 5. Disturbed ground at the Edwards Crossing Gold Prospect within the Green Hills project area.

Reconnaissance mapping also commenced across the Green Hills project during the reporting period. Cover material is minimal and there is generally good rock exposure across the area. Mapping took place within the central part of the project area over three target areas within E70/5568, E70/5570 and E70/5571. These target areas include the Edwards Crossing Gold Prospect and areas that have mapped occurrences of ultramafic according to the GSWA 1:250k maps. A total of 22 grab samples were collected with all samples sent to Intertek Genalysis, Perth for multi-element analysis. Results are pending.

Mapping results identify the geology of the area is largely gneiss with common occurrences of narrow bands of north-west trending quartzolite. There are also widespread minor occurrences of dolerite, granite and ultramafic rocks.

A partial tenement relinquishment was made of tenement E70/5569. The relinquishment followed a review of Enegex’s extensive tenement holdings in light of our evolving exploration model, with a decision to focus exploration on priority target areas.

Sale of Project Tenement to Caravel Minerals

Tenement E70/5442 (part of Walebing Project) was sold to Caravel Minerals Ltd during the quarter. Enegex retains 100% ownership of the remaining four tenements within the Walebing Project.

Enegex receive the following consideration for the sale of E70/5442:

  • An uncapped 2.5% net smelter royalty (NSR) from any mineral production within E70/5442;

  • A cash payment of $75,000;

  • A surface sample database across Enegex’s West Yilgarn tenure area, including proprietary roadside surface sample assay results collected by Dominion Mining between 1998 and 2011, with an agreed value of $250,000;

  • Access to pulp residues from samples collected by Dominion Mining within Enegex’s West Yilgarn tenure area, and;

  • Exploration data generated from Caravel’s activities to be undertaken in E70/5442.

==> picture [474 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

The surface sample database consists of over 3500 samples (Figure 6). There is significant scope to add value to the data by selective re-analysis for multi-elements, as the initial analysis focused on copper and gold.

The newly acquired dataset is currently being reviewed and any geochemical anomalies identified will be prioritised and integrated with Enegex’s existing exploration targets so that the data is utilized in the current field season.

Hart Project, North Kimberley - Enegex 100%

Enegex’s Hart project consists of two tenement areas along the eastern margin of the Kimberley Basin of Western Australia ( Figure 7 ). The tenements incorporate one granted tenement covering 374km[2 ] (E80/5354) and a second tenement of 350km[2] under application.

The geology of the Hart project has been mapped largely as a regionally extensive Proterozoic sill complex termed the “Hart Dolerite”. The understanding of the geology is still developing within the project area, but mapping of the Hart Dolerite complex indicates the dolerite consists of a layered series of intrusive rocks including mafic sills that are mostly tholeiitic in composition. Tholeiitic compositions are often associated with higher prospectivity for Ni, Cu, PGE, V and Ti mineralisation, concentrated in specific layers within the intrusive complex.

Previous exploration by other companies within the mafic-ultramafic intrusion units across the Halls Creek Orogen have identified several Ni sulphide deposits including the Savannah (Sally Malay) and Copernicus (Alicia Downs Ultramafics) deposits in addition to numerous untested prospects along the belt.

Exploration Activities

Results from reconnaissance exploration in 2022 is shown in Figure 8. Field results have identified a strongly magnetic gabbroic sill that is considered to be the same prospective horizon that hosts the Speewah V-Ti-Fe resource. A felsic rock unit prospective for lowsulfide style PGE-Cu-Ni mineralisation was also defined that consists of multiple horizons with an extensive lateral footprint.

==> picture [596 x 496] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 8. Location of rock chip results at the Hart Project.

==> picture [474 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

10

The results confirmed the potential for Ni-Cu-PGE and V-Ti mineralisation with up to 0.37% V2O5 and 2.14% Ti within the magnetic gabbro sill. This horizon is also anomalous in PGEs, Au, Co, Cu and Ni, but further work is required to identify zones of PGE enrichment. The anomalous results are located over a strike length of 14km.

A sample of felsic intrusive with 380ppb Au was returned from the northern tenement at the Central target. The sample is located between the Pentecost and King River Faults that are major regional fault structures indicating that there is potential for structurally controlled Au deposits (Figure 8) .

A brief analysis of thirteen thin sections prepared in 2022 was made during the reporting period that determined magnetite and ilmenite does not appear to be associated with the sulphide mineralisation. This is consistent with the current understanding of mineralisation associations. The results of Short Wace Infra Red (SWIR) analysis were inconclusive as the samples were generally non reflective.

All data will now be used to assess the prospectivity and to refine and update the exploration model. Target areas will be prioritised for further work and to frame potential forward field work programs.

The tenement application process for E80/5355 is ongoing. A draft heritage protection agreement has been received from the native title party representative and is under review.

Corporate

Enegex announced during the quarter that it has received firm commitments to place $3 million (before costs) via a share placement (Placement) subject to shareholder approval. In conjunction with the Placement, and also subject to shareholder approval, Mr Roger Steinepreis and Mr Nick Castleden will be appointed to the Board.

The Placement will result in the issue of 200 million fully paid ordinary shares (Shares) at a price of 1.5 cents per Share (subject to shareholder approval). The Shares will rank pari passu with existing shares. Roger Steinepreis will subscribe for 26.66 million Shares (commitment of $400,000) and as part of his subscription receive 25 million free attaching options (12.5 million exercisable at 2 cents and 12.5 million exercisable at 4 cents, with a 4-year term) and Nick Castleden will subscribe for 16 million Shares (commitment of $240,000) and as part of his subscription receive 25 million free attaching options (same option terms as Mr Steinepreis).

New Director Appointments

It is proposed to appoint Nick Castleden as a Non-Executive Director. Nick is a geologist with over 25 years of experience in the mineral exploration and development industry. Most recently, Nick was the Managing Director of Apollo Consolidated Limited (Apollo) which was acquired by Ramelius Resources Limited (Ramelius) in an agreed takeover, which valued Apollo at circa $180 million. Since that time, Nick has been appointed as the CEO and Managing Director of Solstice Minerals Limited.

As a separate appointment, it is proposed to appoint Roger Steinepreis as Non-Executive Chairman and Geoff Albers will resign his position following the shareholder meeting. Roger is a corporate and resources lawyer and Executive Chairman of Perth based corporate law firm, Steinepreis Paganin. He has practised as a lawyer for over 30 years, acting as legal advisor to a number of public companies, particularly in the energy and resources sector, on a wide range of corporate matters. Roger was recently on the board of Apollo with Mr Castleden, where he was Non-Executive Chairman prior to the Ramelius takeover noted above and is also a NonExecutive Director of Meeka Metals Limited and Metalicity Limited.

Mr Albers intends to remain a major shareholder of the Company and is a strong supporter of the Company and has agreed to subscribe for 8,000,000 Shares ($120,000) under the Placement. The Company thanks Geoff for his contribution and wishes him well in his other ventures. Mr Peter Armitage also intends to resign as a Director after the shareholder meeting on completion of the Placement and the Company also thanks him for his services and support during his directorship.

The funds raised under the Placement are expected to be used to advance the Company’s mineral exploration activities, including new appraisal, ranking and targeting exercises over the Company’s existing Australian projects, the evaluation of potential new projects and general working capital.

A General Meeting of Shareholders to approve the Placement and new director appointments is scheduled for 3[rd] May 2023.
