M3 MINING EXPANDS PORTFOLIO AT VICTORIA BORE & EDJUDINA
HIGHLIGHTS
-
M3 Mining successfully secures additional tenements at both the Victoria Bore Copper Project and Edjudina Gold Project.
-
Expanded portfolio significantly expands ground position in strategic locations surrounded by majors.
-
Strong newsflow with sampling and geophysics results pending from both projects, and drilling at Victoria Bore scheduled to commence early Q4 CY2021
M3 Mining Limited (ASX:M3M) (M3 Mining or the Company) is pleased to announce the successful expansion of holdings at both the Company’s Victoria Bore Copper Project (Victoria Bore) and Edjudina Gold Project (Edjudina). The expanded portfolios improve the Company’s tenement holdings in proven copper and gold districts. The new tenements at Victoria Bore enhance the existing tenure that is highly prospective for copper and proximal to the Victoria Copper Mine that historically mined 183t at 32.7% Cu for 60t Cu .[1]
The Company is very pleased to have been able to secure these additional ground positions in key strategic areas in an environment of significant ground acquisition activity and consolidation by competitors and majors as is evidenced in Figures 1 and 2 below. M3M’s discrete acquisition strategy has been key in this regard and allows us to now focus on these areas as part of our core exploration at Victoria Bore and Edjudina.
The Company also has exploration works underway with rock chip samples from Victoria Bore pending. M3M has as requested the lab expedite the process and will release the results when received.
In addition, interpretation of a recently completed sub-audio magnetics (SAM) survey is currently in progress at Edjudina, and at Victoria Bore a program of work has been approved with drilling scheduled to commence early Q4 CY2021.

We look forward to progressing these projects through a rigorous low-cost exploration program over the coming months and updating shareholders accordingly.”
