  • Drilling is expected to take up to 3 weeks to complete with results and follow-up plans to be released as they come to hand

Commenting on the Joint Venture Intermin’s Managing Director, Mr Jon Price said:

“We believe that the region immediately south and southwest along strike from our Teal gold project is very much under-explored and that there are significant discoveries to be made. There are several high priority prospects first defined in the 90’s that have received little exploration for over 20 years.”

“This is the first drill program since inception of the Joint Venture and significant new information relating to mineralising structures seen within the Teal gold project is now available to assist Evolution with regional interpretation and targeting.”

Overview

Intermin Resources Limited (ASX: IRC) (“Intermin” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce aircore drilling has commenced at the Binduli JV gold project located 5-20km northwest of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in Western Australia (Figures 1 and 2). On 16 April 2015, Intermin and its 100% owned subsidiary Black Mountain Gold Limited (“BMG”) entered into a farm-in and JV agreement with La Mancha Australia Pty Ltd which was soon after acquired by Evolution Mining Limited (ASX: EVN) (“Evolution”)[1] .

The Binduli project comprises a 100km[2] tenement package underlain by Achaean felsic to intermediate volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks, porphyry intrusions and sediments. The area is bound to the west by the highly prospective Zuleika Shear Zone and to the east by the increasingly important Abattoir Shear Zone.

Evolution is manager of the project and has designed the program to test continuations to the Teal project mineralisation trends. In addition targets adjacent to some major cross cutting structures and their associated splays will be tested.

Intermin looks forward to keeping the market informed of ongoing results and follow-up program specifics related to progress at the Binduli JV project. Results from this program are expected in the June Quarter and are planned to be released as they come to hand. Earn-in and Joint Venture terms are as follows;

  • Evolution can earn an initial 51% interest by completing work programs and expenditure of $2.1M within 3 years;

  • Evolution can elect to earn a further 19% interest by completing additional expenditure of $2.5M over a further 2 years (in total $4.6M over 5 years to earn 70%);

  • All tenements must be maintained in good standing;

  • If Evolution withdraws prior to the initial $2.1M expenditure it earns no interest;

  • If after earning the initial 51% interest, Evolution elects not to earn a further 19%, the JV parties must contribute on a pro rata basis or dilute according to the standard industry formula;

  • Once Evolution has earned a further 19% (if it elects to do so), the JV parties must contribute on a pro rata basis or dilute according to the standard industry formula.
