Melton – Yorke Peninsula

  • Monax recently signed a JV with Marmota Energy for EL 4000 & EL 3911

  • Located along the northern extension of the Pine Point Fault

  • Exploration by Rex Minerals south of Melton has reported thick intersections of copper and gold

  • Significant intersections at Hillside Prospect include:

  • • 259m @ 1.7% Cu & 0.4 g/t Au (HDD018 from 205m)

  • • 200m @ 1.0% Cu & 0.2 g/t Au (HDD033 from 140m)

  • Recent drilling shown copper mineralisation at shallower depths – potential for open cut operation

  • Anomalous uranium reported in several holes

Melton – Yorke Peninsula

  • High - resolution aeromagnetic survey completed5 targets outlined

  • Initial processing has provided much clearer resolution of the anomalies

  • Ground magnetic and gravity survey planned for late 2009 after grain harvest

  • Exploration by Rex has shown correlation between magnetite and copper mineralisation

  • Monax has ~15km strike length of this highly prospective structure within Melton tenements
