Leeuwin Agrees to Acquire Marda Gold Project in Western Australia from Ramelius Resources
Marda Hosts extensive known mineralisation and numerous well defined exploration targets
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Leeuwin Metals has signed a binding share sale agreement to acquire 100% of Marda Operations
-
HIGHLIGHT Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ramelius Resources Limited (ASX: RMS). Marda Operations owns 100% of the Marda Gold Project, located in the highly prospective Western Australian
-
• goldfields.
-
The project includes multiple existing pits on granted mining leases and offers exceptional exploration upside, with high-grade drill intercepts and underexplored historical prospects providing a clear path to potential resources.
-
The acquisition represents significant value for Leeuwin shareholders, with an upfront consideration of $500,000 in Leeuwin shares to be issued to Ramelius upon completion. Additional milestone payments, payable in cash, include:
-
Milestone 1: $500,000 upon the definition of a JORC-compliant resource of 500koz.
-
Milestone 2: $1,000,000 upon the definition of a JORC-compliant resource of 1Moz.
-
The project spans over 500km[2] of mining, exploration, and prospecting leases, prospective for both gold and iron ore, and is strategically located 120km north of Southern Cross.
-
While historical exploration at Marda has largely focused on near-mine areas and existing open pits, Leeuwin will prioritise the vast underexplored high-grade potential across the project which remain open and require immediate follow-up drilling.
-
Leeuwin’s strategy will focus on defining extensions to high-grade zones across key prospects, supported by historical un-mined intercepts such as:
-
2m @ 16.75g/t Au from 12m (NRC043) - Evanston
-
3.6m @ 16.4g/t Au from 1m (EDM003) - Evanston
-
8m @ 5.76 g/t Au from 8m (ERC147) - Evanston
-
5m @ 7.47g/t Au from 120m (MKC003) - Mt King
-
4m @ 7.27g/t Au from 70m (MKC006) - Mt King
-
1m @ 15.84g/t Au from 47m (MRC248) - Taipan
-
1m @ 27.75g/t Au from 31m (MAR111) - Taipan
-
Ramelius will become a strategic shareholder in Leeuwin at completion, reinforcing alignment and positioning both companies for potential future collaborative growth opportunities.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT | 20 December 2024
==> picture [110 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
Leeuwin Metals Ltd (ASX: LM1 ) (“ Leeuwin ” or “the Company ”) is pleased to announce it has entered into a binding share sale agreement with Ramelius Resources Limited (ASX: RMS) (“ Ramelius ”) to acquire 100% of Marda Operations Pty Ltd (“ Marda Operations ”) (“ the Acquisition ”). Marda Operations owns the highly prospective Marda Gold Project (“ Marda ” or “ the Project ”), located in the renowned Western Australian Goldfields.
The Marda Gold Project spans over 500km² of granted mining, exploration, and prospecting leases, situated 120km north of Southern Cross. The project hosts 8 open pits and numerous historical workings, with significant exploration potential highlighted by multiple high-priority targets requiring immediate follow-up work.
Executive Chairman, Christopher Piggott, commented:
“The acquisition of the Marda Gold Project is a pivotal step for Leeuwin Metals, delivering significant value with minimal dilution to shareholders. This advanced gold project in Western Australia provides an exciting growth platform with substantial exploration potential.
Marda hosts extensive known mineralization in and around existing pits. This mineralization is open and represents low hanging fruit for our initial exploration campaign. There are also numerous drilling targets which have been defined by geophysics and limited drilling. There is immense upside at these targets which we will prioritise as part of our resource growth strategy. The project’s strategic location, within trucking distance of multiple gold mills and supported by excellent infrastructure, further enhances its viability.
With granted mining leases included in the acquisition, Leeuwin is well-positioned to rapidly progress discoveries into development. We are excited to commence work programs and look forward to sharing updates as we advance this opportunity into 2025.”
Marda Gold Project
Strategic Rational
Marda Gold provides Leeuwin Metals with a transformative opportunity to establish a strong foothold in the world-class Western Australian Goldfields region.
-
Proven Mining History: The project features established open pits on granted mining leases and significant drill intercepts, providing a solid foundation for near-term exploration and growth.
-
Immediate Work Programs : With granted mining leases already in place, Leeuwin can commence work immediately, prioritising follow-up on multiple high-priority targets.
-
Strategic Location: Situated close to critical infrastructure and processing hubs, the project minimises lead times to production within the Western Australian Goldfields.
-
Portfolio Diversification: Marda complements Leeuwin's existing portfolio of critical metals by introducing exposure to gold, a globally valued commodity, in a highly prospective and mining-friendly jurisdiction.
While primarily focused on gold, the Project is also prospective for iron ore, offering additional optionality for future exploration.

Marda Geology
The Marda Gold project stretches 70km between the Evanston goldmining area in the north to Golden Orb in the south. Gold was first discovered in 1901 with intermittent mining since. Gold mineralisation is hosted in Youanmi Terrane in the Marda-Diemals Greenstone Belt and locally associated with banded iron formations (BIF’s) and quartz veining associated with sulphides. Ramelius completed mining across several open pits with a total production of 2.3mt @ 1.9g/t Au (143koz)[1] between 2019 and 2023. Historical production estimates for the Evanston Mine totalled approximately 40koz with the most recent mining occurring from 1998 to 2000 at Evanston.

Section 1: Sampling techniques and data
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g., cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as downhole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. |
Sampling was completed using a combination of Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond Drilling (DD). RC drill samples were collected at 1m intervals in a cyclone at the side of the drilling rig and a sub-sample collected via a riffle or cone splitter. The remaining portion was laid out on the ground for logging. Occasional wet samples were not split but collected in a plastic bag then spear sampled. Some samples were collected as 2m or 4m composites. Diamond Drilling (DD) core was sampled as 1m or geologically selected intervals. Core was sawn to provide half core samples for analysis. Core outside lode or mineralised zones is not always sampled. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
All sampling by conventional gold industry drilling methods. | |
| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (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. |
Sampling Technique details for historic drilling are often partial or unknown. Early RC drilling may have been collected in bagged 1m samples and manually riffle split. |
|
| Drilling techniques |
Drill type (e.g., core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g., core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.). |
Numerous holes drilled by Gondwana (1990's) and Southern Cross Gold (2011) as mostly RC drilling, plus moderate DD holes. RMS drilled additional RC infill holes between 2019-2023 which confirmed earlier drillholes. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. |
Core recovery has been logged for more recent drilling (post 2019) and is generally excellent (≈100%). Minor wet intervals occur and can affect RC sample recovery. Chip sample recovery is generally not logged but noted if wet sample or other issues (rare). Voids relating to historic UG workings are logged as open or filled stope voids. |
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
Sample recovery at all deposits is generally excellent in weathered and fresh rocks. Recent drilling has utilised RC rigs of sufficient size and air capacity to maximise recovery and provide dry chip samples or using significant diamond drilling, RC primary, duplicate and total sample was weighed and graphed at the rig to check sample recovery and interval accuracy. |
|
| Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
No indication of sample bias is evident or has been established. | |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. |
Recent drilling (+2019) has been logged for lithology, oxidation, alteration, veining, textures and sulphides and all core is photographed and unsampled core retained. Chip-trays are retained for RC precollars and holes. Older drilling generally has a minimum of lithology is logged for +90% of holes, with varying degrees of other information. |

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography. |
Drillhole logging of RC chips & DD core is qualitative on visual recordings of rock forming minerals & estimates of mineral abundance. |
|
| The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
The entire length of drillholes are geologically logged | |
| Subsampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. |
Recent core holes are sawn and sampled as half core. Some 1/4 core sampling has occurred as checks. Older drilling details incomplete but where available were similar. |
| If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry. |
Recent RC holes were sub-sampled by rig mounted cone or riffle splitter. Majority of old drilling details unknown. Occasional wet samples spear sampled from plastic bags. |
|
| For all sample types, the nature, quality, and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
The sampling protocol implemented is considered to be appropriate and industry standard for dealing with rock chip samples. |
|
| Quality control procedures adopted for all subsampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. |
Recent RC samples have field duplicate samples taken at regular intervals and compared. For older sampling reports exist referencing similar methods, however detailed information is incomplete or lacking for the majority of older data or exists in hardcopy formats which have not been systematically investigated |
|
| Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. |
All recent samples sub-sampled using accepted splitting techniques and have been delivered to laboratory for total preparation by crushing and pulverisation, before being sub-sampled for analysis. |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Sample sizes are generally appropriate for grain size and material types being sampled. |
|
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. |
Recent assaying (+2019) has all been by commercial laboratories including ALS, SGS, KalAssay and Genalysis, typically by 40-50g Fire Assay to give total contained gold. Earlier assaying includes a number of techniques and laboratories and details are often incomplete or unknown. |
| For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. |
No geophysical tools or portable XRF instruments were utilised. | |
| Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g., standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e., lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
Recent assaying (+2019) has had QAQC measures including certified reference standards, field duplicates, blank samples and umpire laboratory check samples carried out for all deposits and shows acceptable levels of accuracy and precision. For older data reports and tables exist, referencing similar QAQC methods, however detailed information is incomplete or lacking for the majority of old data. |
|
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. |
The Competent person has verified significant intersections of recent drilling during the review of the project utilising Ramelius’ Marda database. |
| The use of twinned holes. | In most project areas holes were not twinned. | |
| Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. |
All recent data (+2019) has been documented in digital format, verified and stored by the Company. |
|
| Discuss any adjustment to assay data. | No adjustments were made to the assay data. | |
| Location of datapoints |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drillholes(collar and downhole |
Recent (+2019) collars have been surveyed by DGPS instruments to sub- metre accuracy. All recent holes were downhole surveyed usingelectronic |

camera or gyroscopic survey tools. Old: Collar survey method is not always recorded for all old holes. Downhole surveys not available for all older drilling. If present, downhole survey method frequently unknown. |
|
| Specification of the grid system used. | Any grid references are presented in MGD94 zone 50. | |
| Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
Topographic control is based on government topographic maps and GPS. This method of topographic control is deemed adequate. |
|
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. |
Due to the stage of the Project the sample spacing is appropriate. |
| Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied |
Data spacing is considered sufficient to establish geological and grade continuities for reporting exploration results. |
|
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
Compositing has been applied for reporting drill intercepts using weighted average. |
|
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. |
The core drilling and RC drilling is completed orthogonal to the interpreted strike of the deposits. A number of scissor holes exist at most deposits. Marda ore zones are generally vertical. |
| If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
No bias considered present for all project areas. Minor potential for orientation bias for some individual holes exists, but no bias is believed evident at broader scales |
|
| Sample security |
The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
All recent (+2019) samples have been collected by Ramelius geological staff. Samples are transported to the laboratory by commercial transport companies. The laboratory receipts received samples against the sample dispatch documents and issues a reconciliation report for every sample batch. |
| Audits or reviews |
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
There have been no audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
Section 2: Reporting of exploration results

| Parks (FNA 14564 and 15840) and is within land allocated under Plan for Our Parks. Marda Operations has the non-iron ore rights in one exploration licence (E77/1721) and two mining licences (M77/1259 and M77/1261). These tenements are managed by Mineral Resources Limited. Additionally, exploration licence application E77/2105 applied for by Jayvee Resources Pty Ltd, Marda has 100% beneficial ownership of the gold rights. Note Marda have also applied for E77/2654, which covers the exact same area as E77/2105. Marda Operations Pty Ltd is currently the holder of E77/2272-I, this tenement is subject to a transfer to Polaris Metals Pty Ltd. The Marda Gold Project is entirely within the Marlinyu Ghoorlie claim area. The claim was filed with the Federal Court (WAD647/2017) on the 22 December 2017 and was entered on the register of the National Native Title Tribunal (WC2017/007) on the 28 March 2019, the claim has been under review through Federal Court proceedings, has not yet been finalised. The Project is subject to the following third-party royalties: The project is subject to several third-party royalties. Royalty 1 involves a one-off payment of $2 million upon the production of 25,000 ounces of gold from tenements E77/1322, E77/1741, and E77/2124, as well as $10 per ounce of gold produced from additional tenements, including E77/1899 and M77/576, capped at $3 million. Royalty 2 comprises $1 per tonne of gold ore mined and processed from specified tenements and a 1.5% net smelter return (NSR) for other minerals. Royalty 3 entails a 1.5% royalty on all iron ore transported from tenement E77/1322, excluding the overlap with M77/1259. Leeuwin is currently evaluating whether Royalty 1 and Royalty 2 obligations have already been fulfilled or if they remain enforceable. The tenements are in good standing an no known impediments exist. |

| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Marda area discovered in late 1800's. Minor historical workings mainly a Dolly Pot deposit. Modern exploration by Chevron 1980's, Cyprus Gold 1990's, Savage Resources late 1990's and Southern Cross Goldfields/Black Oak Minerals from 2011-2014. Ramelius acquisition & drilling 2019 with production between 2019 and 2023. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
Mineralisation is likely controlled by shear zones/fault zones passing through competent BIF rock units, hosted with mafic/ultramafic stratigraphy. Gold is associated with pyrite alteration in brecciated BIF, +/- quartz. Deep weathering has likely generated supergene enhancement of gold at shallow to moderate depths. |

| Drillhole information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drillholes: • easting and northing of the drillhole collar • elevation or RL (elevation above sea level in metres) of the drillhole collar • dip and azimuth of the hole • downhole length and interception depth hole length. |
Please refer to Appendix B - Table 1 of the release for co-ordinates relevant to published drill results. |
| If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
Only significant results from key project areas have been reported due to significant dataset. The reporting of the selected holes in this report are deemed to be reasonable by the competent person. |
|
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g., cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usuallyMaterial and should be stated. |
Only significant results from key project areas have been reported due to significant dataset. The reporting of the selected holes in this report are deemed to be reasonable by the competent person. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drillhole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g., ‘downhole length,true width not known’). |
The majority of the drill holes are drilled as close to orthogonal to the plane of the mineralised lodes as possible. A number of drill holes have intersected the mineralisation at high angles. Only down hole lengths are reported. |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drillhole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Exploration plans and diagrams are included in the body of this release as deemed appropriate by the Competent Person. |
| Balanced reporting |
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
Only significant results from key project areas has been reported due to significant dataset. The reporting of the selected holes in this report are deemed to be reasonable by the competent person. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or |
All relevant and material exploration data for the target areas discussed, has been reported or referenced. |
