HIGHLIGHTS

  • Commenced exploration program at Barlee to test extension of Youanmi Greenstone Belt

  • Completed work required to initiate the deep diamond hole at Golden Mile South targeting the Golden Mile Dolerite, host rock to the Super Pit

  • Focussed on evaluation and acquisition of new projects to expand and diversify the Company’s project portfolio

Overview

Orrex operates as a mineral explorer in Western Australia and has two gold exploration projects, the Golden Mile South Project and the Barlee Project. The Golden Mile South Project is located in the heart of the Kalgoorlie region with potential for discovery of various styles of large gold deposits similar to those of the Eastern Goldfields. The Barlee Project is located in the Central Yilgarn Craton and is comprised of greenfields exploration terrain with potential for gold and base metal deposits. Orrex management is also reviewing further projects in Australia and overseas to add to its project portfolio.

During this quarter, we have been focussed on the evaluation of new projects, prospective joint venture partners and the preparation of two exploration programs for the second quarter at Golden Mile South and Barlee.

Barlee Project

Geophysical work recently conducted at Barlee indicated that the Youanmi Greenstone Belt may extend along the western margin of the Company’s tenements. To test this, we have commenced a RAB program (up to 2500m) and expect to receive results at the end of May.

The Youanmi Greenstone Belt is host to major gold and VMS deposits, including the Youanmi Mine (recorded total production and resources of approximately 1.5 Moz Au), the Penny West deposit (recorded production of approximately 150 koz at ~18g/t), the Yuinmery Cu-Au deposit and the Manindi Zinc deposit.

Golden Mile South Project

Orrex has identified a target prospective for the Golden Mile Dolerite. 3-D inversion modelling indicates the presence of a WSW dipping unit trending SE from the Super Pit and under the Golden Mile South tenements. This will be tested with a deep diamond drill hole and Orrex will receive up to $150,000 in State funding to assist with the cost of this hole. During this quarter, Orrex has finalised details required to commence the hole in the second quarter.

Substantial progress has been made at Golden Mile South and the project requires more aggressive exploration to unlock its potential value.

Review and Evaluation of Projects

Management has continued to focus on acquiring an advanced stage project for the Company. We are looking at projects overseas and in Australia which would complement our current project portfolio and with deal structures which will maintain the strong capital structure and cash position of the Company.

We are continuing to strive to add value to the Company and look forward to further progress over the next few months through both exploration and potential new projects
