ASX RELEASE
Monax to Raise Equity to Fund Drilling of Parndana IP Anomaly
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Induced Polarisation (IP) survey commenced on Monax’s 100% owned Parndana Project.
-
First line reveals prominent chargeable anomaly associated with gravity feature.
-
Two further lines to be completed within next 3 - 4 days.
-
Monax to undertake a 1:4 Entitlement Issue to fund drilling of IP/gravity anomaly on Parndana Project.
Parndana Project Update
Monax Mining Limited (“Monax”) (ASX:MOX) is pleased to announce the commencement of an IP survey on its 100% owned Parndana project, Kangaroo Island.
Monax recently completed a detailed gravity survey over the Parndana project area. A significant anomaly was identified ~1km to the southeast of the known Bonaventura prospect (Figure 1). Processing and inversion modelling of the gravity data delineated a discrete, 1km long dense body (3.1 g/cc), striking 120 degrees with a south-easterly plunge at approximately 300m depth.
Monax’s current mineralisation model is a sediment-hosted Zn-Pb-Ag±Cu (SEDEX/MVT) style deposit akin to deposits such as Century and HYC or a hybrid of something therein.
The IP survey comprises three, 2.4km long, NE-SW trending section lines (Figure 1) using a 100m Dipole-Dipole array and high powered transmitter, which provides adequate depth of investigation.
Preliminary modelling of the first line of IP data has defined a chargeable body coincident with the modelled high density source (Figure 2).
Preliminary success of the IP survey provides Monax with additional confidence in the target, and Monax will commence planning for a drill hole to test the anomaly.

Entitlement Issue
Monax is pleased to announce it will be conducting a non renounceable 1 for 4 entitlement issue ("Entitlement Issue" or "Offer") at $0.021 per share to raise up to approximately $0.9 million, with 1 free option being issued for every 2 new shares subscribed for under the Entitlement Issue. The options to be issued under the Offer will be exercisable at $0.042 on or before 29 July 2015. The Company will apply for official quotation of the options.
The Offer, which is not underwritten, will result in approximately 42.8 million new shares and 21.4 million new options being issued if fully subscribed. The Offer price represents a discount of approximately 21.9% to the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Monax’s shares for the 5 trading days before this announcement.
Shareholders with an address in Australia or New Zealand on the Company's register at the close of business on Thursday, 3 July 2014, will be eligible to participate in the Entitlement Issue ("Eligible Shareholders"). The Company has decided that it is unreasonable to make the Offer to shareholders who have a registered address in a country outside of Australia or New Zealand having regard to the number of shareholders in such places, the number and value of the new shares that would be offered and the substantial cost of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in these jurisdictions.
The Directors reserve the right to place any remaining shortfall at their discretion within three months after the close of the Offer. Eligible Shareholders' entitlements pursuant to this Entitlement Issue are non-renounceable and accordingly, they may:
-
take up their rights in full or part;
-
do nothing; in which case their rights will lapse; or
-
take up their rights in full and apply for additional new shares.
Full details of the Entitlement Issue will be set out in the Prospectus which will be lodged by the Company with ASIC and ASX on Friday, 27 June 2014.
Use of Proceeds
The Company will use the funds raised under the Offer to:
-
Drill test the IP/gravity anomaly on the Parndana Project;
-
Undertake reconnaissance exploration on the western Gawler Craton project; and
-
• Provide working capital to the Company.
The proposed timetable for the Entitlement Issue is as follows: EVENT DATE Prospectus lodged with ASIC and ASX Friday, 27 June 2014 “Ex” Date Tuesday, 1 July 2014 Record Date Thursday, 3 July 2014 Dispatch of Prospectus, and Entitlement & Tuesday, 8 July 2014 Acceptance Forms to Shareholders, Entitlement Issue opens Closing Date Tuesday, 22 July 2014 Securities Quoted on a Deferred Settlement Wednesday, 23 July 2014 Basis ASX Notified of any Under Subscriptions Friday, 25 July 2014 Issue Date Tuesday, 29 July 2014 New Shares and Options commence trading Wednesday, 30 July 2014 on ASX

The above timetable is indicative only. Subject to the ASX Listing Rules, the Directors reserve the right to withdraw the Offer at any time, close the Entitlement Issue early or extend the Closing Date for the Offer at their discretion. Should the Offer be closed early or extended, there will be a consequential effect on the anticipated date of issue for the new shares and options .
