Profile

Exploration Office: Unit 2, 81 Harrison Road, Dudley Park, SA 5008

Vision: To move from explorer to producer via organic growth of current and acquired Cu-Au, Ni-Cu and graphite projects within South Australia.

Strategy: To concentrate efforts on the identification of worldclass exploration assets of IOCG, magmatic Ni-Cu and coarse flake graphite, thereby attracting developmental funding through JVs with major commodity houses.

Located on Eyre Peninsula – “The Pilbara of Graphite”.

  • Eyre Peninsulacurrent focus for Iron & Graphite.

Iron Projects include:

  • W arram b oo ron oa R (I d)

  • Wilgerup (Centrex Metals) Gum Flat (Lincoln Minerals) Iron Duke & others (Arrium)

  • East coast deposits (Centrex & Eyre Iron JV’s) Wilcherry Hill – (Ironclad)

  • Koppio & Kookaburra Gully – Lincoln Minerals

  • Uley – Valence Industres

  • Wil c o ou l S thM onax Mi i n ng

Waddikee Project – Exploration History

  • Initial focus was base metals , gold and uranium.

==> picture [455 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

  • Discovery of high-grade manganese changed the focus to manganese and iron.

==> picture [455 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

  • Monax had a JV with OM Holdings for manganese and iron.

==> picture [455 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [455 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

  • During final phase of exploration, Monax undertook detailed induced polarisation surveys to outline manganese horizons.

==> picture [455 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

  • Results failed to outline manganese but did show high chargeability which was due to graphite.

Options Moving Forward

1. Further Development

Metallurgical and beneficiation testing of drill hole samples from Wilclo South - to characterise potential product for off-take discussions and marketing.

Detailed geophysics and follow-up drilling at Francis prospect to identify satellite deposit.

Resource definition at Francis to increase global mineral resource for Waddikee Project.

Marketing studies based on results from metallurgical testing.

Scoping study.

2. Joint Venture

3. Outright Sale of Project
