-
Odin Metals Limited (ASX: ODM) (“Odin” or “Company”) has signed an option to acquire 100% of the Monte Azul Zinc Project[1] in Brazil (“Monte Azul” or the “Project”) from Vale S.A. (“Acquisition”)
-
The Board of Odin will be strengthened with the proposed appointment of Mr Simon Mottram and Mr Luis Azevedo as Executive Directors, both previously Executive Directors of Brazilian focussed copper producer Avanco Resources Ltd that was acquired by Oz Minerals (ASX: OZL) in 2018 for c.$440m
-
Historical resource estimate of 7.6Mt at 6.1% ZnEq[2,3,4,* ] including a higher-grade core of 3.6Mt @ 9.0% ZnEq[4]
-
Drilling to date comprises of 57 diamond holes and 6 RC holes for 17,300m, over a strike length of approximately 1.4km
-
Monte Azul remains open at depth and along strike, along with a significant 40km magnetic anomaly that remains underexplored
-
Agreements to consolidate the broader region that includes the highly prospective Alto Alegre Zn prospect to the northeast signed
-
Initial metallurgical test-work shows ore is amenable to conventional froth flotation, and produces high-grade concentrates with recoveries exceeding 80% in first pass tests
-
▪ Odin has also secured the entire regional strike extension in two separate deals, which include the highly prospective Alto Alegre zinc prospect to the northeast
-
Significant existing infrastructure in the region with Nexa´s Vazante and Morro Agudo zinc operations, and Tres Marias zinc smelter lie ~400km southwest
-
Discovery Capital Partners acted as Lead Manager to the Capital Raising and Corporate Advisor to the Transaction and has received firm commitments for a placement of $4.25m
Commenting on the acquisition, CEO Simon Mottram said, “The Project represents an excellent opportunity for Odin to enhance its current portfolio with an advanced stage base metal project, with strong potential for resource expansion and near-term development. We have assembled a strong in-country team with a proven track record of execution and value creation in Brazil”

- Odin cautions that the Monte Azul resource estimate is a foreign estimate and is not reported in accordance with the JORC Code. A competent person has not done sufficient work to classify the foreign estimate as a mineral resource in accordance with the JORC Code, and it is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work that the foreign estimate will be able to be reported as mineral resources in accordance with the JORC Code.
It is the Company’s opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

MONTE AZUL PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
Monte Azul provides Odin with exposure to a near term base metals development asset with significant resource upside at depth and along strike, along with a significant 40km magnetic anomaly that remains underexplored.
Figure 1: Location of the Monte Azul Project
==> picture [369 x 394] intentionally omitted <==
Location
The Project is located in the established mining state of Minas Gerais, in an agriculture-based region in proximity to other operating mines and only 6km off national highway BR122. The Project is contained within a single freehold farm with drilling access in place.
Nexa´s Vazante and Morro Agudo zinc operations, and Tres Marias zinc smelter lie ~400km southwest. Grid power and water are available locally, as are suppliers and mining services with the towns of Porteirinha (~40,000 inhabitants) and Janaúba (~70,000 inhabitants) both located ~18km away on the highway.
Rail facilities pass very close to the Project through the town of Janaúba, affording rail access to the local smelting facilities or alternatively to ports in the neighbouring states of Espirito Santo or Rio de Janeiro.

Resource
The Project reports a Foreign Resource Estimate of 7.6Mt at 6.1% Zn Eq[2,3,4] , including a higher-grade core of 3.6Mt @ 9.0% Zn Eq[4] with significant Resource upside at depth and along strike. Drilling to date comprises of 57 diamond holes and 6 RC holes for 17,300m, over a strike length of approximately 1.4km.
The deposit is a relatively new discovery (c.2000) and has never been mined previously or disturbed. The deposit is interpreted to comprise of 3 lenses that are located closely within the known strike, with the majority of tonnage and higher grades found in the central lens. All 3 lenses are open at depth/plunge, with the added potential that the lenses may also join to make a single larger lens, since the gaps between the lenses are currently interpreted from only a couple of wide spaced drill holes or no drilling at all.
It is anticipated that early work will concentrate on the central lens, which contains the majority of metal tonnes, higher grades and greater thicknesses. The average thickness of the central lens is above the commonly regarded 4m minimum thickness required for full scale mechanised underground mining methods.

Exploration Potential
In addition to near term potential to grow the existing Foreign Resource Estimate, the Company has expanded its regional land holding to cover the vast majority of the belt through two separate deals, which includes the highly prospective Alto Alegre Zinc prospect to the northeast where zinc mineralisation again outcrops at surface.
Outside of Monte Azul and the Alto Alegre target, the ~40km long belt has had no known exploration. This unexplored part of the belt is for the most part covered by younger sediments (Macaúbas Group) that can be up to 900m thick, however strongly ferruginous rocks (Banded Iron Formation) within the prospective (Riacho dos Machados) sequence that hosts Monte Azul and other known zinc occurrences clearly define the sequence in the airborne magnetics.

Metallurgy
Ore is of a SEDEX style with typical simple SEDEX Zn-Pb metallurgy. A single series of preliminary metallurgical testwork has been carried out in historical work based on a 100kg (See table below) composite sample which had an average grade that is considered typical.
Initial Metallurgical Testwork Sample (100kg) – Composite Grade of Sample
| Sl | Zn % | Pb % | Fe % | S % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ampe | 6.8 | 1.2 | 7.9 | 6.2 |
Initial metallurgical results indicate excellent recoveries with first pass results of >80% recovery, which also produced consistent high-grade concentrates. The Company will complete detailed metallurgical testwork to continue to de-risk the Project.

Mineralisation at the Monte Azul Project is of a Sedimentary Exhalative (SEDEX) type
-
Zinc Equivalent “ZnEq”
-
Zinc Equivalent is calculated based on $1.10/lb Zn and $1.00/lb Pb (assuming 80% recovery for both). Recoveries are based on those recorded in first pass metallurgical testwork shown in Monte Azul Project Highlights – “Initial Metallurgical Testwork Results (100kg sample size)”. ZnEq = Zn%+((Pb%*$1.0)/$1.1). ASX Listing Rule 5.12 is contained in Appendix 2

APPENDIX 1 – Additional Information
Geology and Mineralisation
The Monte Azul project is considered to be typical of the SEDEX (Sedimentary Exhalative) model, where the sub-basin is controlled by syn-sedimentary faults which provide conduits for mineralising fluids. Fluid migration into sub-vertical feeder fractures, breccia zones then spreads laterally into permeable sediments.
Mineralization is mainly hosted in an amphibole metachert. Sphalerite (primary Zinc sulphide) and galena (primary Lead sulphide) occur as massive sulphides and disseminations. Mineralisation extends to the surface and outcrops in numerous locations along strike, while weathering extends to only approximately 30m below surface.

The deposit is interpreted to comprise of 3 lenses, with the majority of tonnes and better grades found in the central lens. All 3 lenses are open at depth/plunge as shown below, with the added potential that the lenses may also join to make a single larger lens, since the gaps between them are interpreted from only a couple of wide spaced drill holes or no as shown below.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sampling | ▪ | Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random | ▪ | Historical drilling consists 57 diamond holes and 6 RC |
| techniques | chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement | holes for 17,300m. | ||
| tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. |
Diamond drill core is typically continuously sampled at 0.5m or 1m intervals. Throughout the ore zones and their periphery, where required by changes in lithology, mineralisation, or alteration, core samples |
|||
| may be shorter or longer than typical but not beyond | ||||
| a minimum core length of 20cm, and a maximum | ||||
| core length of 2.0m. | ||||
| ▪ | Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
▪ | Drill collar locations are initially by handheld GPS, and accurately surveyed after completion. Drill samples were logged for lithology, weathering, structure, mineralogy, mineralisation, colour and |
|
| other features. | ||||
| Half diamond core was collected and placed in | ||||

| (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m | ||||
| samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g | ||||
| charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may | ||||
| be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has | ||||
| inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or | ||||
| mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant | ||||
| disclosure of detailed information. | ||||
| Drilling | ▪ | Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, | ▪ | Diamond core diameters were consistently NQ from |
