Corporate
In the three months to 30 June 2013, Monax Mining Limited (ASX:MOX) undertook exploration on its Waddikee Graphite Project, located on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula and on the Algebuckina Designated Project in SA’s Far North.
Laboratory results were received for the Waddikee Project’s Wilclo South graphite drilling program and these have been forwarded to a resource consultant for the determination of an inferred resource with results expected by early August 2013.
The recently completed gravity survey at the Algebuckina Designated Project (“ADP”) outlined two possible IOCG targets on the Monax Alliance tenements. Monax Alliance withdrew from an Option to Purchase Agreement with ASX-listed Falcon Minerals (ASX:FCN) for two tenements within the ADP after the gravity survey did not identify any iron-oxide copper-gold (IOCG) targets.
Monax Alliance received its Deed of Access for the Woomera Prohibited Area allowing access for exploration within this restricted zone.
Exploration Licence 5259 was granted during the quarter. This tenement is a Monax Alliance tenement and with approved access for exploration for the WPA, a gravity survey is planned for the current quarter over an identified iron-oxide copper-gold (IOCG) target.
In May, Monax Mining signed a term sheet with FMG Resources Pty Ltd (“Fortescue”), a subsidiary of Fortescue Metals Group (ASX: FMG) – for a copper-gold project in northern South Australia. Monax plans to undertake a detailed ground gravity survey over the feature as soon as possible following approval of land access to assist in defining targets for drill testing.
As at 30 June 2013, Monax had a cash balance of $1.375 million. During the quarter $789,000 was spent on exploration on Monax projects.

Punt Hill Project – copper-gold (Monax 100%; Antofagasta earning 51%)
The Punt Hill Project is located within the highly prospective Olympic IOCG province on the eastern margin of the Gawler Craton in northern South Australia. This province is host to the world class Olympic Dam and Prominent Hill mines, as well as the recently discovered Carrapateena and Hillside deposits.
The Punt Hill Project is subject to a farm-in agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of major Chilean mining company Antofagasta plc (“Antofagasta”).
Antofagasta has invested approximately US$3.8 million in the Project since August 2010. Under the Punt Hill Farm-In Agreement, Antofagasta can earn a 51% interest in the Project upon reaching US$4 million expenditure in the Project.
During the quarter, Monax undertook a detailed geophysical review of the Project incorporating a new gravity model developed using all internal and publically available data. Up to six targets were outlined, including two new targets and four existing targets. These targets will be presented to Antofagasta for drilling approval at the August Monax – Antofagasta Technical Committee Meeting.
During the quarter Monax received the results of the geochronology undertaken on granite from drill hole HODD3. Results show the primary age of the granite host is ~1850Ma (Donington Suite). Dating of hydrothermal sphene (titanite) recorded an alteration date of ~1580Ma (Hiltaba Suite age), which is the same age as mineralisation at Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill, Carrapateena and Hillside. This date provides further evidence that the alteration and mineralisation at Punt Hill is the result of the same mineralising event which produced the above mentioned deposits.
Monax | Antofagasta Strategic Alliance – copper
In October 2011, Monax announced the formation of a Strategic Alliance with Antofagasta for project generation in South Australia.
The terms of the agreement require that Antofagasta spend US$1 million over two years to allow Monax to facilitate area prospectivity identification and analysis, basic exploration, project generation and target selection. Any initial properties that are identified as a “project of interest” become a ‘Designated Project’ (DP) following acceptance and approval by Antofagasta. Once a DP has been formed, Antofagasta will have acquired a 51% interest and Monax a 49% interest in the Project.
Antofagasta will then have the option to earn an additional 19% of any DP (cumulative 70% interest) by spending a further US$4 million on exploration within three years and upon earning this interest it will subsequently be required to make an additional cash payment (success fee) to Monax of US$3 million.
Algebuckina Designated Project (“ADP”)
The ADP originally comprised three Alliance tenements and two tenements held by Falcon Minerals Limited (“Falcon”), and is located on the northern margin of the Gawler Craton in northern South Australia (Figure 1).
During the quarter a gravity survey was completed over four copper-gold targets.
Quarterly report for the period ending 30 June 2013 ~ 4 ~
Based on results from a gravity survey of Falcon’s two tenements, Monax Alliance withdrew from the agreement with Falcon, thereby reducing the ADP to the three Alliance tenements (see Figure 1).
Gravity survey results from the other two copper-gold targets confirmed the presence of two significant gravity anomalies, which have similar geophysical characteristics to those of known IOCG deposits.
The Alliance exploration model focuses on the emplacement of 1530 million year old granites, and associated extensive magnetite alteration. Both the age of granite emplacement and magnetite alteration present at Algebuckina has strong similarities to that responsible for the regional event prior to IOCG style mineralisation in the Cloncurry region of north Queensland. The Cloncurry region is host to several IOCG deposits.
The two gravity targets will undergo further refinement prior to being presented to the Monax – Antofagasta Technical Committee in August for approval of a decision to drill.
Lawyers for the Arabana Native Title group and Monax Alliance are currently reviewing a draft Native Title Agreement and expect to finalise in the September quarter.
Alliance Projects
Monax continues to review potential projects for the Alliance.
Monax Alliance has three tenements located within the Olympic IOCG Province (see Figure 1).
A review of available gravity data for recently granted EL 5259 (Hunts Bore), has identified an IOCG target. Monax Alliance is planning a detailed gravity survey over the target to better define the anomaly. The tenement is located within the green zone of the Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA) and Monax Alliance has recently received its Deed of Access for the WPA. Monax Alliance is currently waiting for Approved Person approvals for its gravity contractors, with the gravity survey planned for the current quarter.
A review of available gravity data for ELA 2013/0087 (Margaret’s Dam) also identified an IOCG target. ELA 2013/0087 is not expected to be granted until late 2013 and a gravity survey will be undertaken upon the grant of the tenement.
Waddikee Project – graphite, manganese and iron (Monax 100%)
The Waddikee Project (EL 4662) is located approximately 100 kilometres south-west of Whyalla, on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, within an area that is becoming the premier graphite province in SA (Figure 1).
During the previous quarter Monax completed seventy seven reverse circulation (RC) drill holes at the Wilclo South prospect totalling 7307m. The location of the drill holes is shown in Figure 2. The drilling program was designed to test a 1.2km strike zone to 120m depth for an initial resource definition.
Significant results include:
-
12m @ 17.5% TGC (WG043 83-95m)
-
15m @ 16.3% TGC (WG041 88-103m)
-
10m @ 24.4% TGC (WG109 114-124m)
-
9m @ 19.7% TGC (WG088 49-58m)
-
12m @ 18.1% TGC (WG100 41-53m)
Quarterly report for the period ending 30 June 2013 ~ 5 ~
(*Note: all lengths are downhole lengths; true width unknown).
The highest individual graphite result was 45% TGC (hole WG109 118-119m), which is part of a 6m high-grade zone (6m @ 31.4% TGC 116-122m – note downhole length; true width unknown).
The graphite horizons are interpreted to dip approximately 30[o] -40[o] to the east and strike approximately 170[o] -350[ o] . This is supported by electromagnetic data (see Figure 3).
Petrology from drill hole samples confirms the presence of coarse flake graphite in the majority of samples, with coarse flake graphite present in several forms (i.e. individual coarse flakes, aggregates of flakes and massive graphite aggregates).
Drill hole assays and data have been forwarded to AMC Consulting for preparation of a JORC Resource with results expected to be completed by early August 2013.
Once the report from the resource consultant has been received, Monax will review its options on how best to progress the Project.
Seven RC drill holes totalling 612m were completed at the Francis graphite prospect to test a prominent electromagnetic (EM) anomaly (Figure 3). Graphite up to a maximum of 38.1% TGC was reported over one metre with five one metre samples reporting >30% TGC.
The best results* from the Francis prospect include:
-
15m @ 20.7% TGC (WG118 14-29m)
-
12m @ 21.9% TGC (WG121 60-72m)
-
3m @ 22.2% TGC (WG119 36-39m)
-
2m @ 25.1% TGC (WG120 51-53m)
-
2m @ 16.2% TGC (WG120 56-58m)
-
3m @ 10% TGC (WG123 29-32m)
-
(*Note: all lengths are downhole lengths; true width unknown).
The high-grade graphite reported from the Francis and Wilclo South prospects provides further encouragement that the prominent conductive trend seen in the airborne electromagnetic data is the result of a large geological fold structure which is prospective for graphite (see Figure 3).
Monax is expecting to receive its maiden JORC Resource for the Wilclo South prospect by early August 2013.

Quarterly report for the period ending 30 June 2013 ~ 8 ~
Phar Lap Project – copper-gold (Monax 100% of all minerals excluding uranium; Marmota 75% uranium, Monax 25% uranium)
EL 5123 (Phar Lap) is located about 60km west north-west (WNW) of the Prominent Hill mine, on the south-western margin of the Mt Woods Inlier in South Australia’s Far North (Figure 1). The Mt Woods Inlier contains the Prominent Hill (Cu-Au) and Cairn Hill (Fe-Cu) mines, as well as several IOCG style targets including Joes Dam and Manxman.
Monax is continuing the land access process and plans to drill these targets in late 2013.
Yorke Peninsula Project – copper-gold
Monax has two projects located on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. They are:
-
Melton (50:50 Joint Venture with Marmota Energy Limited – ASX:MEU)
-
Webling Bay (100% Monax)
No exploration was undertaken on either project during the quarter.
Western Gawler Craton (WGC) Project – nickel-copper, gold (Monax 100%)
The WGC project comprises five granted tenements (EL 4992, EL 4993, EL 5077, EL 5199 & EL 5200) covering an area of 3,433km[2] (Figure 1).
The basement rocks on the western Gawler Craton record a history of active tectonism which resulted in the mafic and ultramafic intrusives being introduced into a package of Palaeoproterozoic sediments; a setting analogous to the Thompson Nickel Belt in Manitoba, Canada. Monax considers this area prospective for nickel-copper mineralisation.
The Fowler Domain in South Australia comprises a northeast trending sinuous, high-magnetic intensity belt located on the western Gawler Craton (Figure 4). The Fowler Domain contains Archaean/Proterozoic rocks, reworked and intruded by Palaeoproterozoic igneous and metamorphic rocks.
Limited historical company exploration and geological mapping has shown that the Fowler Domain is a complex, long-lived deep crustal scale structural zone similar to the Thompson Nickel Belt in Canada and the Albany Fraser Belt in Western Australia.
Monax has produced an Information Memorandum and is seeking a partner to assist in progressing this highly prospective project.

Reedy Lagoon Project – copper-gold (Fortescue Metals 100%)
During the June quarter Monax signed a term sheet with FMG Resources Pty Ltd (“Fortescue”), a subsidiary of Fortescue Metals Group (ASX: FMG) – for a copper-gold project in northern South Australia.
The agreement also contains non-binding terms pursuant to which, subject to the outcome of the technical due diligence by Monax (including a detailed ground gravity survey), the parties will negotiate terms for Monax to farm-in to the project and for the parties to form a joint venture.
Monax reviewed available geophysical data for the project and discovered a prominent gravity feature (Figure 5). Modelling of gravity and magnetic data has shown that the anomaly is not explained by shallow basement or the Gairdner Dykes visible in Figure 5.
Quarterly report for the period ending 30 June 2013 ~ 10 ~
A single historical drill hole completed over 1km from the target to a depth of 674m which failed to intersect basement rocks and did not identify the anomaly. Figure 6 summarises the geological model for the Reedy Lagoon 1 gravity feature.
