HIGHLIGHTS

  • Antofagasta to expend a minimum of $US 1.5 million over first two years

  • Tenement EL 4548 (Yeltacowie) granted

  • Exploration to commence in coming weeks

Monax Mining Limited wishes to advise of further detail relating to its recently announced option agreement with Antofagasta PLC ("Antofagasta"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Antofagasta Minerals S.A.

In particular, this agreement commits Antofagasta to spend no less than US$1.5 million on the Punt Hill project within the first two years, thus ensuring that ongoing exploration activity will take place at the project. It is anticipated that this work program will involve detailed gravity followed by drill testing of targets generated.

Monax is also pleased to announce that EL 4548 (formerly ELA 44/10) has been granted for a two year period. EL 4548 forms part of the Punt Hill project which is the subject of the aforementioned option agreement.

The Exploration Committee will meet within the next two weeks to review the proposed exploration program. Drilling is planned for late 2010 or early 2011 after necessary approvals are received.
