The Mt Ringwood project area is located approximately 120km south of Darwin (Figure 1) within the Pine Creek area, which is renowned for in hosting shallow, high grade gold mineralisation. Mining in the area has taken place more or less continuously since the ‘gold rush’ in the area during the 1870’s.

Initial sampling programs completed by Monax reported high-grade gold from several localities within the tenement package (see Plate 1 & Figure 2).
Discussion of Results
The results reported are from the final mapping and sampling field trip undertaken in December 2015 and continue the exceptional results from previous field trips (see 15 October 2015; 26 October 2015; 27 November 2015 and 3 December 2015 ASX Releases for all sampling results for the Mt Ringwood Project).

Sampling at the C8 area (see Figure 2 for location of C8 area) provided highly encouraging results with 7 out of the 8 samples collected reporting >1 g/t gold (see Table 1) with gold ranging from 0.79 g/t to 21 g/t. The reef at the C8 area is approximately 600m in length and comprises zones of buck quartz with zones of quartz with sulphide, similar to the Great Northern. Plate 2 and Plate 3 show two samples from the C8 area.

Further mapping and sampling south of the abandoned Goodall Gold Mine also reported encouraging results with 4 samples reporting >1oz/t gold (>31 g/t – see Table 1). Figure 3 shows the location of all samples collected in December 2015.
The initial mapping and sampling undertaken by Monax since acquiring the project has outlined several areas of interest including the Great Northern Mining Leases, Great Western Mining Leases, the areas along the western side of the project area including the Johns Hill and Star of the North Mining Leases together with the C5 and C8 areas and the area south of the abandoned Goodall Gold Mine.
Forward Program
Monax is currently compiling all of the mapping and sampling data to determine the next phase of exploration. The association of gold with sulphides (arsenopyrite and pyrite) is significant and will allow the use of induced polarisation (IP) surveys to assist with defining drilling targets.
Monax will organise a low cost IP survey to commence at the Great Northern and Great Western Mining Leases when access is approved after the wet season, with drilling to follow soon after. Monax is planning further mapping/sampling in the C5/C8 and Goodall areas to provide further information to assist the next phase of exploration in these areas.
