Corporate
In the three months to 31 March 2015, Monax Mining Limited (“Monax”) (ASX:MOX) focussed its attention on negotiating a Part 9B Native Title Agreement with the Far West Native Title Group to progress exploration on the Western Gawler Craton (WGC) Project and on negotiating with Iluka Resources (“Iluka”) for a potential farm-in on the Company’s Phar Lap Project.
During the March Quarter, Monax signed a non-binding term sheet with Iluka in respect of a proposed Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement in relation to the Phar Lap Iron-Oxide CopperGold (IOCG) Project, located on Exploration Licence 5123, which is on the margin of the Mt Woods Inlier in northern South Australia (Figure 1).
Iluka can earn 80% of the project by funding $2 million of exploration over four years and are required to spend $400,000 within the first two years and may withdraw at any time after it has incurred $400,000 of expenditure on the project.
A Farm-In Agreement was signed with Maximus Resources (“Maximus”) during the quarter covering four tenements located in northern South Australia. These four tenements are part of the Millers Creek Designated Project and Monax commenced drilling at the Oliffes Dam target in late March.
During the quarter, Monax increased its landholding on the highly prospective Stuart Shelf with the application for ELA 2015/60 (Figure 1).
During the quarter, Monax’s first tenement (EPM 25671) in northwest Queensland was granted.
As at 31 March 2015, Monax had a cash balance of $1.6 million. During the quarter $136,000 was spent on exploration.

Millers Creek Designated Project – copper-gold (Monax:Antofagasta earning 80% from Maximus Resources)
During the quarter, Monax signed a Farm-In Agreement with Maximus (ASX:MXR) over four tenements located within the Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA) in northern South Australia. The four Maximus tenements plus one Monax Alliance tenement comprise the Millers Creek Designated Project (“Millers Creek DP”) totalling 2402km[2] (Figure 1).
Combined, the five tenements represent a significant landholding within the Olympic Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) Province.
The Millers Creek area is located between Olympic Dam and Prominent Hill - within the Olympic IOCG Province - and has not been subject to extensive mineral exploration, due to being located within the WPA.
Drilling commenced at the Oliffes Dam target (Figure 2) in late March 2015.

Kimberlite Project – diamonds (Monax 100%)
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Monax was advised that it was successful in its application for a Plan for Accelerating Exploration (PACE) Grant to assist with funding for the proposed drilling on EL 5347. Monax received its full application of $70,000 for its Kimberlite Project.
Monax plans to drill two holes to test kimberlite targets on EL 5347 in June/July 2015.
Western Gawler Craton Project – copper-nickel (Monax 100%)
During the quarter, Western Areas completed a high-resolution aeromagnetic survey (see ASX Release 21 January 2015 for details). The survey comprised 100m spaced flight lines over the entire project area and was completed in approximately six weeks. The new data provides a high-quality dataset suitable for outlining areas of favourable lithology and structural setting to host massive polymetallic mineralisation.
(Text below taken from Western Areas Quarterly Report 15 April 2015)
The project area covers a Proterozoic aged, interpreted craton margin, with long lived and complex structural and intrusive history. The area is known to host mafic-ultramafic intrusive rocks, and the area is interpreted to be tectonically related to the Musgrave (Nebo/Babel and Succoth) and Albany-Fraser Orogens (Nova/Bollinger).
The focus during the quarter was the completion of the project scale interpretation of the recently acquired magnetic data, and finalising the statutory and heritage approvals process. A significant milestone was achieved with the completion of the Access Agreement with the Far West Coast native title holders. This agreement allows the next phase of exploration to proceed once the clearance and consultation activities are undertaken. Consultation is also continuing with the Aboriginal Lands Trust and the SA government and is expected to be completed early next quarter.
The interpretation of the magnetic data, combined with a detailed review of the historical core and previous exploration activity, has provided a significant increase in the understanding of the area. The interpretation has revealed numerous features that are indicative of mafic/ultramafic intrusions, many of which are clustered in potential ‘camps’ (Figure 3). These features have been ranked and prioritised based on a number of key criteria and their prospectivity will be evaluated in the upcoming drilling program. Additionally, exploration activities will also be aimed at determining the prospectivity of other domains and gathering further geological, geochronological and geochemical information within the broader project area.
Due to the variable thickness of cover over the project area (~0-100m), RC drilling will be used as a first pass for both testing of the specific targeted features and the broader lithogeochemical and target generation work. It is anticipated drilling activities will commence in the June quarter, and should continue through into the September quarter. This drilling will be partly funded (up to $100,000) by the SA Government as part of the PACE Discovery Drilling 2015 program. Any positive results will be followed up with further RC and Diamond Drilling, and geophysics.
Monax has increased its landholding within this highly prospective area with the application of Exploration Licence Application (ELA) 2014/194 (see Figure 1). This tenement is not included within the Western Areas Farm-In Agreement.

Phar Lap Project – copper-gold (Monax 100%)
During the quarter, Monax signed a non-binding term sheet with Iluka Resources Limited (“Iluka”) in respect of a proposed Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement for the Phar Lap IronOxide Copper-Gold (IOCG) Project, located on Exploration Licence 5123, which is on the margin of the Mt Woods Inlier in northern South Australia (Figure 1).
According to the term sheet, Iluka will prepare a Farm-in and Exploration Joint Venture Agreement for negotiation that provides:
-
Iluka can earn 80% of the project by funding $2 million of exploration over four years; and
-
Iluka will spend $400,000 within the first two years and may withdraw at any time after it has incurred $400,000 of expenditure on the project.
Iluka are currently preparing a draft Farm-In Agreement.
NW Queensland Project – copper-gold (Monax 100%)
During the quarter, EPM 25671 was granted. The tenement is located approximately 20km southeast of Cloncurry (Figure 4).
A review of historical company reports shows anomalous rock chip samples located on the tenement (see Figure 5).
