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.

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.

instruments,
etc.,
the

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.

Topographic control is based on government topographic maps and GPS.
This method of topographic control is deemed adequate.
Data spacing
and

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

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.
