EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SIMON ELEY:
“The Company is pleased to report the completion of the geochemical survey exercise by Terra Search at Edjudina. This is the last step required prior to confirming gold targets for commencement of M3’s maiden drilling campaign at Edjudina.
M3 is also very excited to announce that Ziggy and Chris have been engaged by the Company to assist in progressing its current projects as well as provide valuable input into mining and resources assessment and evaluation ahead of potential acquisitions. Ziggy and Chris’ reputations speak for themselves, and we are very pleased they have chosen to work with M3.”
Edjudina Soil Sampling
As announced on 1 December 2021, M3 completed a Sub-Audio Magnetic (SAM) survey at Edjudina designed to identify mineralised sequences along strike within the Yilgangi Shear Zone which hosts Northern Star Limited’s (ASX:NST) Carosue Dam.
Two areas were covered as outlined in Figure 1 (below) and supported M3’s view that known mineralisation from a neighbouring prospect (Rainbow) continues on to the Company’s tenement together with the identification of several cross-cutting faults, alteration or intrusive features and possibly significant deformation features.
The geochemical analysis exercise completed by Terra Search collected approximately 1,400 samples across the areas highlighted by the SAM survey results ( Figure 2 ). The samples collected from the geochemical analysis exercise will be submitted for assaying and results released to market in due course.
M3 Mining’s maiden drilling campaign at the Edjudina Project is expected to commence following the receipt of the soil sampling results and finalising the drilling targets. M3 has secured a drilling contractor and expects to commence this program in late Q2 CY2022.
