Quarterly Activities Report For the period ended 30 September 2024
Highlights
-
Ø Enegex continued to conduct low-cost gold and copper exploration on its 100% owned West Yilgarn tenure, as well as review new opportunities to build on its existing asset base.
-
Ø Key landholdings include the Rocky Ridge gold prospect at the Perenjori Project and the Three Springs Project, both of which contain unexplored prospective meta-greenstone with open gold soil anomalism.
-
Ø Rocky Ridge is defined by a 6.5km corridor of surface gold anomalism (to 520ppb Au), and shallow drill results[1] of 7m at 2.52g/t Au EOH, 7m at 1.14g/t Au EOH and 6m at 0.98g/t Au. Enegex considers the Rocky Ridge prospect to have good potential for bedrock mineralisation below untested portions of the anomalous corridor.
-
Ø A high-resolution magnetic UAV (drone) survey covering 17km[2] was completed over Rocky Ridge during the Quarter, identifying a series of prospective structures adjacent to multi-phase intrusions within the surface gold corridor. These areas form priority targets for future aircore drill-testing.
-
Ø Drilling access agreements have been executed with key freehold landowners for properties covering the Rocky Ridge gold prospect target areas. Heritage and statutory government approvals are in progress.
-
Ø Crop harvesting has recently commenced in the Perenjori and Three Springs district and the Company looks forward to continuing field programs during the December Quarter once harvesting is complete.
West Yilgarn Projects
Enegex (ASX: ENX , the Company ) is exploring its strategic tenure position in the West Yilgarn Cu-Au, Au and Ni-Cu-PGE province of Western Australia (Figure 1) , a region that hosts globally significant mineral deposits such as the multi-million-ounce Boddington copper-gold mine, the Gonneville Ni-Cu-PGE deposit (ASX: CHN), and 3.03Mt of contained copper at the Caravel Copper Project (ASX: CVV).
Gold potential in the broader project area is also highlighted by the Moora Cu-Au Project (ASX: M16), Cu-Au mineralisation at Ularring (ASX: CR1), a previously mined high-grade gold deposit at Pithara (ASX: SLZ) , and the Company’s Rocky Ridge prospect[1] (Figures 1 and 2) .
Enegex holds five Project areas: Three Springs, Perenjori, Miamoon , Walebing and Goomalling (Figure 1) , predominantly covering private freehold farming land.

Access for exploration is subject to landowner consultation, consent and cropping activity, and Enegex is grateful for the continued support shown by landowners for exploration across the Project areas.
The Company’s early-stage exploration programs are based on the geology, structural framework and weathering profiles underlying the widespread soil-cover typical of the area ( Figure 2 ). Enegex has refined its geochemical thresholds and understanding of gold dispersion, which in turn allows for fast evaluation and turnover of less prospective tenure.

The Company applies first-stage and infill geochemical sampling techniques to inexpensively assess target areas, with a focus on structural trends not effectively tested by previous reconnaissance style roadside sampling.

Exploration Activities
Perenjori Project
During the Quarter a UAV high-resolution magnetic survey was completed over the Rocky Ridge gold prospect (Figure 3) . Prospective structures and intrusive bodies were identified from the survey within key target areas.
The Rocky Ridge gold prospect has extensive gold mineralisation in near-surface transported laterite gravels, as well as in underlying oxidised bedrock, distributed along an arcuate aeromagnetic and gravity corridor. The geophysical corridor is overlain by a 6.5km trend of auger gold anomalism (Figure 4) .
Enegex Limited | ASX:ENX | Unit 24, 589 Stirling Highway Cottesloe WA 6011, Australia | www.enegex.com

The best bedrock gold intercepts in past RAB, aircore and limited RC drilling include 7m at 2.52g/t Au EOH , 7m at 1.14g/t Au EOH and 6m at 0.98g/t Au , indicating strong potential for commercial grades across the broader system.

Figure 3. Rocky Ridge Prospect – Historical drill collar positions indicating maximum down hole gold values from >9m depth on newly acquired UAV aeromagnetic imagery draped over public aeromagnetic imagery. Main target areas indicated in yellow and are often coincident with areas of deeper cover.
The UAV survey was completed by Atlas Geophysics with data acquired along northwest oriented lines spaced at 25m from a height of 25m using a remote-controlled helicopter. A total of 780-line km of high-quality data was collected. Core Geophysics Pty Ltd were engaged to provide additional data filtering and imaging to assist data interpretation and drill hole planning.
The new magnetic imagery has highlighted a prospective undrilled target area directly to the east of past drilling (Figure 3) , where a series of local intrusive bodies are interpreted, along with several northeast and north-south trending cross-structures that may locally control the distribution of bedrock gold mineralisation. Prospectivity in this soil covered target area is

demonstrated by >0.10g/t Au results three holes drilled along a single north-south oriented line of shallow past drilling.
The UAV survey has also provided much improved definition of the target horizon southwards into untested parts of the terrain corridor, highlighting a combination of local fold and fault geometries that warrant reconnaissance geochemical drilling.

Figure 4. Rocky Ridge Prospect – historical auger sampling and gold anomalism on aeromagnetic imagery. Orange shade shows areas of deeper cover where surface sampling may have not been effective.
The new magnetic data has enabled the Company to develop an improved litho-structural geology picture of the Rocky Ridge prospect, which comprises a multistage intrusion and deformation centre located around the apex of an axial fold hinge zone in gneiss or migmatite country rock.
The Company believes that bedrock intercepts obtained in historic drilling to date do not adequately reflect the wide distribution and strength of the gold anomaly in overlying transported material, with additional bedrock testing to search for commercial scale mineralisation warranted.
Planned Exploration Work
Crop harvesting has recently commenced in the Project area, and the Company has been advancing arrangements to continue field programs, including aircore drilling, once harvest activties are complete. Drilling access agreements have been executed with five key freehold landowners covering the Rocky Ridge gold prospect target areas. A heritage survey is planned during the December Quarter to clear small areas of remnant bushland, and statutory government approvals are ongoing.

Three Springs Project
The Three Springs Project area lies to the west of the Perenjori Project (Figure 2) and covers a series of aeromagnetic features interpreted to represent a folded-faulted greenstone and gneiss terrane (Figure 5) . The geological setting is similar to Chalice Mining Limited’s recently announced Recherche West gold target located 50km to the north of Three Springs, where an untested 15km long gold in soil geochemical anomaly has been defined[2] .
==> picture [595 x 427] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5. Three Springs Project – exploration licence showing all historical auger sampling and gold anomalism on aeromagnetic image and newly completed reconnaissance soil/auger sample lines.
A reconnaissance-scale auger soil sampling program was completed in early 2024 with samples collected at a wide 200m sample spacing along 17 lines at a nominal 800m line spacing. The program was designed as a first pass test of a completely unexplored magnetic terrain.
- Refer to ASX: CHN 3[rd] September 2024 “Gold-copper exploration strategy for the West Yilgarn”

Anomalous gold results[3] were returned in several locations (Figure 5) , including the end of a number of lines, with results up to 8.3ppb that are well above the regional anomalous background thresholds (~4ppb Au). The anomalous sample points warrant additional infill and follow-up sampling in this predominantly soil and sand-covered regolith setting.
Follow up and extensional auger soil sampling will be completed towards the end of the year after the current cropping activity.
Miamoon Project
The eastern Miamoon tenure covers a structural zone interpreted to be a continuation of the structures controlling the Caravel Copper Project deposits and is therefore prospective for structural and porphyry style Cu-Au mineralisation. Western Miamoon hosts several unexplored magnetic and gravity bodies that remain prospective for Ni-Cu-PGE styles.
Landowner access has not been granted to the previously identified ‘Spitfire’ and ‘Crusader’ targets and consequently no progress has been made on advancing these targets.
The Company continues to refine its targeting and undertake reconnaissance sampling.
Walebing Project
The early stage Walebing Project comprises one exploration licence located immediately to the north of the Caravel Copper Project. Landowner access negotiations continue over the prospective eastern margin of the tenement that cover extensions of the Wongan Hills greenstone belt.
Goomalling Project
The Company’s Goomalling tenure lies on-trend and approximately 10km southeast of Caravel Minerals’ Opie Copper Mineral Resource (refer to https://caravelminerals.com.au). Mapped geology is dominated by gneiss and meta sediments including banded iron formation, and a late granitic intrusion.
Enegex has been assessing an area of weakly elevated copper in soil in the northeastern part of the tenement (Gladius Prospect), that is coincident with prospective magnetic and gravity responses. Minor disseminated sulphides within a gneissic rock have been logged in old water bore drill cuttings near the eastern tenement boundary.
The Gladius area continues to be evaluated ahead of follow-up work.

New Project Assessment Strategy
Enegex is refining its West Yilgarn holdings through compilation and review, applying an active tenement and data monitoring program to identify new opportunities, and relinquishing exploration licences where first-pass results are not encouraging. Strategic licence applications will continue to be made as gold and base metal exploration opportunities arise.
Enegex is also actively reviewing new advanced and early-stage mineral exploration opportunities that complement its existing asset base in WA, or elsewhere where the Company sees potential to generate significant shareholder returns.
Corporate & Financial
Cash held by the Company and its subsidiaries as at 30 September 2024 was $1.64M (June Quarter $1.80M). The Company’s 2024 Annual General Meeting will be held on 28 November 2024.
Previously Reported Exploration Results
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results was previously reported in the ASX announcements referenced. The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in those market announcements.
