ASX RELEASE
Phar Lap IOCG Project - MOU with Antofagasta
HIGHLIGHTS
• Monax signs Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Antofagasta for Phar Lap Project.
Monax Mining Limited (“Monax”) (ASX:MOX) is pleased to announce it has signed an MOU with a wholly-owned subsidiary of major Chilean copper producer Antofagasta plc (“Antofagasta”) for the Phar Lap Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) Project, located on the margin of the Mt Woods Inlier in northern South Australia (Figure 1).
Monax recently acquired a 100% interest in the Phar Lap tenement ( see ASX release “Phar Lap IOCG Project Update” 30[th] January 2012 ). In 2008, an extensive geophysical program was conducted over the project which included airborne magnetic, radiometric, electromagnetic and ground gravity data. A review of all data outlined two prominent IOCG-style anomalies (Figure 2).
Comparative 3D inversion modelling has demonstrated that key characteristics of the Phar Lap data (anomaly PLDD002) are very similar to those generated within available data over the Carrapateena deposit; in density volume product, density contrast, dimensions and depth.
Under the MOU, Antofagasta will fund early stage exploration including access approvals and a detailed infill gravity survey over the two anomalies. Antofagasta may then elect to proceed to a Farm-In Agreement to earn 70% interest in the tenement by funding exploration to a value of US$2 million within 3 years.
The Aboriginal Heritage clearance and gravity survey are planned for July-August 2014.
