Quarterly Activities Report For the period ended 30 March 2024

Highlights

  • Enegex secured significant new tenure in the West Yilgarn to further strengthen its project portfolio, focusing on low-cost exploration for new gold and copper mineralisation[1] .

  • New tenure granted at the Perenjori Project covering the Rocky Ridge gold prospect.

  • The Rocky Ridge gold prospect has strong surface gold anomalism extending along a 6.5km corridor. Shallow drill results of 7m @ 2.52g/t Au EOH, 7m @ 1.14g/t Au EOH and 6m @ 0.98g/t Au indicate potential for the system to host commercial grade mineralisation.

  • New project with tenement under application at Three Springs in the West Yilgarn.

  • Past auger sampling at Three Springs has returned open ended anomalism to 151ppb Au and several magnetic trends coincident with greenstone/gneiss terrain are completely unexplored for gold.

  • Landowner access achieved over the Rocky Ridge prospect and ongoing at the Three Springs Project.

  • Field reconnaissance and initial surface geochemical sampling programs planned and ready to commence for the Rocky Ridge prospect and Three Springs Project.

  • The Company aims to further strengthen and refine its West Yilgarn holdings through rapid assessment and turnover of licences and remains well-placed to pursue new mineral exploration opportunities that complement its existing asset base.

West Yilgarn Projects

Enegex (ASX: ENX , the Company ) continued to explore its strategic tenure position in the West Yilgarn Cu-Au, Au and Ni-Cu-PGE province of Western Australia (Figure 1) .

The potential of the West Yilgarn to host globally significant mineral deposits is evidenced by the multi-million-ounce Boddington copper-gold mine, the Gonneville Ni-Cu-PGE discovery (ASX: CHN), and the definition of 2.84Mt of contained copper at the Caravel Copper Project (ASX: CVV). Other emerging discoveries in the broader project area include the Moora CuAu Project (ASX: M16), and structurally controlled gold and Cu-Au mineralisation at Ularring , Pithara and Rocky Ridge (Figures 1 and 2) .

Enegex’s West Yilgarn tenements comprise five Project areas: Three Springs, Perenjori, Miamoon , Walebing and Goomalling (Figure 2) , predominantly covering private freehold farming land. Access to exploration is subject to landowner consultation and consent, and it is pleasing to see the continued high level of support shown by landowners for exploration across the Project areas.

The Company’s field reconnaissance activity continues to build our understanding of the geology, structural targets and weathering profiles underlying the widespread soil-cover typical of the area. Previous geological mapping is restricted to broad-scale government publications that had interpreted belts of metamorphic sedimentary, greenstone and gneiss between larger granite plutons ( Figure 2 ).

Enegex has developed a good understanding of the geochemical thresholds and dispersion patterns of mineralisation in the area, which in turn allows for evaluation and turnover of less prospective tenure.

Exploration Activities

Perenjori Project

During the Quarter E70/6591, covering the Rocky Ridge gold prospect (Figure 3) was granted increasing the Perenjori Project area to 706.4km[2] and further strengthening the Company’s strategic tenure position in the West Yilgarn metals province. The Company was able to quickly gain permission to access tall freehold land at Rocky Ridge for low impact surface sampling and reconnaissance, and a preliminary reconnaissance visit was made to review geological setting and assess the level of cover over untested strike extensions of mineralisation.

Rocky Ridge is a regionally significant gold anomaly located approximately 70km west of Capricorn Minerals’ (ASX: CMM) Mt Gibson gold deposit ( Figure 2 ). The prospect is defined by a 6.5km corridor of surface gold anomalism (to 520ppb Au) ( Figure 4 ), of which only the central part has received past RAB, aircore and minor RC drilling ( Figure 5 ).

Past drilling has defined widespread gold anomalism in surface material and toward end of hole (EOH) in shallow holes, and numerous >0.5g/t Au gold intercepts including 7m @ 2.52g/t Au EOH , 7m @ 1.14g/t Au EOH and 6m @ 0.98g/t Au .

Surface and drillhole gold anomalism follow an arcuate aeromagnetic and gravity trend that extends over more than 20km (Figure 4) , presenting a substantial greenfield target area.

Figure 3 . Perenjori Project area showing main target areas, proprietary surface sampling dataset, Enegex auger sampling traverses, and the location E70/6591 covering the gneiss hosted Rocky Ridge Gold Prospect.

For all past exploration, anomalous intercepts and drillhole details refer to ASX: ENX announcement 12[th] March 2024. Proprietary surface data for a total of 876 samples was acquired over the Rocky Ridge trend that contained several additional gold anomalies.

High resolution DEM data was also purchased to assist in the interpretation of the surface sampling.

Figure 4 . Rocky Ridge auger gold anomaly on aeromagnetic imagery. Gold follows the arc of coincident magnetic and gravity anomalism that flanks granite to the south. Yellow target areas represent untested auger anomalism and areas on-trend that are potentially unsuitable for auger sampling (orange shade).

The orientation and style of mineralised structures at Rocky Ridge remains to be determined but the wide distribution of near-surface and oxide gold mineralisation points to exploration potential along the broader Rocky Ridge anomalous trend. There is excellent potential for exploration to reveal new bedrock gold mineralisation, especially in areas of transported cover.

The balance of the Perenjori Project area contains several northwest trending aeromagnetic and gravity corridors ( Figure 3 ) thought to be the continuation of the gneiss and partially preserved greenstone terrain in the Company’s Miamoon and eastern Walebing areas further to the south. Aeromagnetic imagery indicates several highly prospective targets including flexures and late intrusions with possible faulted contacts. Bedrock geology across the Project area is largely obscured by laterite or shallow sandy soils.

Exploration will continue to infill the wide-spaced historical roadside traverses to a density more suited to the targeted deposit styles. Any new areas of significant gold or base metal anomalism will be progressed to infill sample grids, ground geophysical surveys, and where warranted, first-pass drilling.

At the more advanced Rocky Ridge gold prospect, exploration will focus on data interpretation and on-ground geological work to refine drill targets.

Three Springs Project

During the Quarter, the Company also secured a new 167.1km[2] exploration licence application E70/6597 adjacent the Perenjori Project (Figures 1 and 2) , covering over a series of aeromagnetic features interpreted to represent a folded-faulted greenstone and gneiss terrane which are encouraging indicators of gold prospectivity.

The Project area has seen limited prior gold exploration, with the most recent work being local auger sampling grids targeting nickel-copper PGE mineralisation. Significantly, this work also identified areas of anomalous gold with spot results up to 151ppb Au with gold anomalism open to the edge of sampling grids in several locations (Figure 6) . Gold anomalism of this tenor in the Three Springs geological setting is highly significant with multiple targets identified for immediate follow-up once the tenement is granted.

For all past exploration and anomalous samples refer to ASX: ENX announcement 12[th] March 2024.

The remainder of the Project is largely unexplored for gold but is underlain by similar geology, with occurrences of mafic and ultramafic rocks shown on the GSWA 250k geological map. An initial first pass sampling program of these areas is planned, and sampling will commence in April following tenement grant.

The Company is also pleased to report that access for low-impact exploration activities has been secured over freehold farmland in key parts of the Project area, and access negotiations are continuing for the remaining areas.

Miamoon Project

At Miamoon a major structural zone is interpreted to trend in a north westerly direction through the eastern area (Figure 7) . This corridor is seen as a potential continuation of structures related to the Caravel Copper Project, and prospective for structural and porphyry style Cu-Au mineralisation.

Aeromagnetic interpretation over the central eastern Miamoon tenure has highlighted zones of patchy anomalously high magnetic responses along the margins of granite bodies that may also have potential for copper and gold mineralisation styles.

==> picture [326 x 461] intentionally omitted <==

The western Miamoon tenure also hosts several unexplored magnetic and gravity bodies that remain prospective for Ni-Cu-PGE styles ( Figure 8 ) . Limited progress has been made to advance the ‘Spitfire’ and ‘Crusader’ priority drill targets to date, as access has not been granted by landholders.

The Company continues to refine its targeting and assess results at Miamoon and will actively plan additional sampling to test new target ideas.

Walebing Project

The early stage Walebing Project comprises two exploration licences located immediately to the north and west of the Caravel Copper Project. Landowner access negotiations continue over the prospective eastern margin of the Project where tenements 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 Limited | ASX:ENX | Unit 24, 589 Stirling Highway Cottesloe WA 6011, Australia | www.enegex.com

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. (Figure 9) . 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.

==> picture [595 x 280] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 9. Aeromagnetic imagery at the Gladius target area showing Enegex soil sample locations.

New Project Assessment Strategy

Enegex continues to refine its West Yilgarn holdings though compilation and review, relinquishing licences where unencouraging first-pass results are completed, alongside entry into strategic new licence applications as exploration opportunities arise.

The Company is well placed to evaluate and pursue new advanced and early-stage mineral exploration opportunities that complement its existing asset base, or elsewhere where the Company sees potential to generate significant shareholder returns. The Company continues to actively review new exploration and investment opportunities.
