Marmota Energy Limited Limited (ASX: MEU) is pleased to announce it has negotiated a new Joint Venture agreement with Monax Mining Limited to explore for Iron Oxide Copper‐Gold‐Uranium deposits on its Melton tenements on northern Yorke Peninsula, South Australia. The new joint venture will enable both companies to rapidly advance this exciting project.

The region hosts the historical deposits of the Moonta‐ Wallaroo copper‐gold district. Marmota Energy considers this region prospective for the discovery of new deposits of copper, gold and uranium. More recently the prospectivity of the region, in particular the Pine Point Fault, has been demonstrated by the discovery of significant copper‐gold‐uranium mineralisation by Rex Minerals at their Hillside Project on eastern Yorke Peninsula where the company intersected 259m @ 1.7% copper and 0.4 g/t gold.

Under the terms of the agreement Marmota Energy has the right to earn a 50% interest across all commodities in the Melton tenement by spending a total of $400,000 over a period of two years.

The two tenements (EL3911 and EL4000) that comprise the Melton project, cover the northern extension of the Pine Point Fault and contain a number of discrete magnetic and gravity features interpreted to be consistent with IOCGU mineralisation elsewhere along the fault. As part of its earn in requirement, Marmota Energy plans to immediately undertake a program of detailed geophysical data acquisition across the tenements to better define anomalies and identify targets intended for drill testing soon after.

The Melton joint venture is in line with Marmota’s corporate strategy of creating shareholder value and reducing exploration risk by acquiring projects with a high discovery potential or a known resource with significant expansion potential.

The Melton project is ideally located close to mine and civil infrastructure. The project’s proximity to major centres and good access to port, road and rail infrastructure makes this a very strategic project for Marmota Energy.
