Planned Exploration Program
-
Infill gravity program planned for seven prominent regional gravity targets to better define drill targets
-
Targeting area to the northwest – zone of shallower basement
-
Monax is currently undertaking a review of existing projects and options available to fund future exploration. One option currently being discussed is a Joint Venture on Punt Hill to assist with future drilling program

Waddikee
-
Rock chip sampling has produced assays of up to 60% iron, 54.1% manganese and 1.13% vanadium pentoxide
-
First pass drilling program (2955m) intersected highly encouraging manganese mineralisation (up to 34% Mn) at the Jamieson Tank and Pollinga Prospects
-
Beneficiation test work demonstrated upgrading to 42.4% Mn product with 88% recovery
-
Tenement position covers 1000 km[2 ] with more than 80km of interpreted strike length of prospective manganese and banded iron formation
-
Located in the same province as the OneSteel and Centrex Metals deposits and existing infrastructure
Joint Venture – OM Holdings
-
OMM can earn a 60% interest in all ferrous minerals (manganese and iron) by funding exploration expenditure to the value of $2 million
-
During the farmin period, Monax will manage exploration
-
Eyre Peninsula hosts iron deposits at Middleback Ranges (OneSteel), Wigerup (Centrex Metals), Gum Flat (Lincoln Minerals), Wilcherry (Iron Clad) and Warramboo (Iron Road)
-
Waddikee Project – well placed to become next significant project within the region
Manganese rich sample (43.8% Mn) – Jamieson Tank Prospect
Gold – Kohinoor Mine
-
Historic gold mine
-
Preliminary rock chip sampling has reported gold up to 31.5 g/t
-
Soil sampling has highlighted two further zones of gold and copper anomalism
-
Diamond drill hole under the old workings intersected 2m @ 2.59 g/t.
-
Re-evaluation of drilling after mapping the underground workings has shown that the drill hole did not intersect the main lode
-
Underground mapping has provided Monax with greater understanding of the complex vein system and allowed better targeting for planned drilling program
-
Four other areas of known gold mineralisation outlined for further
Base Metals – Bonaventura Prospect
-
Previous drilling has reported high-grade intersections ranging in thickness from 2-30m downhole with maximum values of 26.9% Zn, 9.4% Pb and 8.3 g/t Ag
-
Best drill hole intersections are:
-
5m @ 26.9% Zn & 1% Pb (Havilah)
-
5m @ 5.8% Zn (PIRSA)
-
10m @ 3.22% Zn & 1.62% Pb (Monax)
-
Monax recently completed an 8 diamond hole drilling program
-
Evaluation of the recent and historical drilling program had led to the construction of a 3D model which will greatly assist future drilling programs aimed at targeting the high-grade ore shoots
-
Further drilling planned to test 3D model
Discover 3D model of Zinc (red) and Lead (green) high-grade shoots
-
Monax owns 29.8% of Marmota, valued at $2.975 million (@8.5 cents/share)
-
