EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SIMON ELEY:
“Exploration success and company changing project acquisition progresses at M3 Mining during the June quarter.
The discovery of the new copper occurrences is a paradigm shift for exploration at Victoria Bore. Grab samples from historic workings exceeded 20% Cu at three sites with the remaining eleven workings exceeding 1% Cu in grab samples. Company and consultant geologists are currently on site undertaking detailed mapping to locate the interpreted large scale structures responsible for copper mineralisation. Reputable geophysical consulting group, Newexco Exploration Pty Ltd have recently been engaged to support the design of a ground EM program to potentially generate drill targets. In addition, a further 259 square kilometres of tenure has been granted at the project which covers sedimentary sequences considered highly prospective for sediment hosted copper mineralisation.
At Edjudina, recent air-core drilling has extended the known trend of anomalous gold at the El Capitan prospect to a total of 4.5km. With drilling operations at El Capitan currently complete, initial exploration is now underway for the recently granted Old Plough Dam Prospect, strategically located close to the Carosue Dam satellite pit Twin Peaks. The recent sale of Solstice’s Hobbes tenement for $12.5 million to Northern Star Limited (ASX:NST) shows that moderate scale gold mineralisation at Edjudina can result in commercial outcomes.
M3 Mining's energy team has recently engaged with key government and administrative officials to secure an advanced energy project in the MENA region, gaining access to the project's database to refine development and exploration plans. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company has enhanced its board with the appointment of technical energy expert; Dermot O'Keeffe, as a nonexecutive director and is actively engaging with off-take groups, commercial banks and corporate finance firms.
M3 Mining is well positioned to take advantage of its existing exploration and looks forward to presenting its energy opportunity to shareholders once the project is secured.”

Victoria Bore Copper Project
The Victoria Bore Copper Project is centred on the historic Victoria Copper Mine which produced high grade copper averaging circa 32.7% Cu for 62.5t of copper from near surface in the 1950’s[6] . The Victoria Bore Project is located approximately 120km south of the town of Onslow and 130km southeast of Exmouth in Western Australia. The tenements lie adjacent to the Northwest Coastal Highway and are readily accessible (see Figure 6).

Historic High Grade Copper Workings
Fourteen historic shallow copper workings were found at Victoria Bore during the quarter (see Figure 2). They are located approximately 3km to the southeast of the historic Victoria Copper Mine. The workings all contain copper oxide mineralisation which have now been confirmed via laboratory analysis (see Table 1).
Highlights: 36.9% Cu from W8 (Working 8), 20.8% Cu from W9 and 20.5% Cu from W1

Table 1 – Historic Working Copper Results [1]
The workings extend over a strike length of 600m, each varying in scale. There has been no recorded previous production in comparison to the historic Victoria Copper Mine. No evidence of drilling was sighted in the vicinity and M3 Mining believes that the workings have not been evaluated through modern exploration methods.
The newly discovered area is located along strike of the historic Victoria Copper Mine and is interpreted to be situated on the same limb of Wyloo group metasediments of Proterozoic age. The geology consists of meta-sedimentary schists, black shale, dolerite and quartz veining and it is interpreted that the copper occurrences are located along the same structural/lithological trend as the historic Victoria Copper Mine. In addition, the Victoria Copper Mine occurs on the eastern border of the Wyloo group metasediments, identical to all fourteen historic workings (see Figure 5).
A substantial portion of the 7km trend is yet to be evaluated by modern exploration methods, only 1.7km has been drill tested (Victoria Bore 2021[7] & 2022[8] drilling) leaving much of the area effectively unexplored. Approximately 3.5km of the unexplored structure is situated beneath transported cover which could be masking further copper occurrences as the cover limits the effectiveness of surface sampling.
Detailed geological mapping of the mineralised occurrences and the related structures has commenced with Company geological staff and consultant geologists currently on site. Reputable geophysical consulting group, Newexco Exploration Pty Ltd have been engaged to support the design of an EM program that is expected to generate high quality drill targets.

pXRF Soil Sampling Program
During the quarter, soils within an area approximately 3km southeast along strike of the historic Victoria Bore Copper Mine were surveyed using pXRF (see Figure 2). Sampling consisted of eight lines (in addition to the scout line sampled in 2023) oriented in an east-west direction, samples were collected at 50m spacing. Elevated Cu readings adjacent to Working 1 is what led to uncovering the historic copper workings.
The soil of the wider area is anomalous in copper indicating that these are not isolated copper occurrences. Surface soil sampling is ineffective in areas of thick transported cover which is present for majority of the 7km Victoria Bore magnetic trend.

Six Additional Tenements Granted
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, six tenements were granted at the Victoria Bore project (see Figure 6). These tenements sit adjacent to the existing tenement E 08/3220 and cover a total area of 259km[2] . The ground covers extensions of Wyloo Group sediments to the east as well as the folded and faulted ranges of the Edmund Group to the south east. In addition it contains large portions of the Durlacher and Moorarie Supersuite; granitic batholiths of Proterozoic age. An airborne magnetic and radiometric survey has been completed over this tenure and structural targets have already been identified that will be the focus of subsequent field programs.

Edjudina Gold Project
The Edjudina Project is located approximately 150km northeast of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. It covers a section of the established mineralised trend along the Keith-Kilkenny Tectonic Zone which hosts multiple significant gold discoveries (see Figure 7). No large-scale mining has occurred within the tenement area, however, historical near surface workings can be observed throughout the region, particularly within and along strike of the previous mines in the Yilgangi Mining Field. The Company’s tenements (both granted and under application) are proximal to Northern Star’s operations at both the Porphyry and Carosue Dam operations (see Figure 7).

Aircore Drilling Program
During the quarter, M3 Mining completed an aircore drilling program that consisted of 111 holes for 2,077m of aircore drilling over three targets (see Figure 8). Building on the soil sampling conducted in 2024[9] , the current drilling aimed to explore the significant gold-in-soil anomalism along the El Capitan trend, to the southeast of intercept; 1m @ 2,303 g/t Au from 27m from drillhole EDJAC264.
The drilling successfully identified gold anomalism 4km to the southeast of prior drilling[10] bringing the length of the gold-anomalous zone to 4.5km. Key Intersects include:
-
4m at 0.55 g/t Au from 24m (EDJAC280)
-
4m at 0.36 g/t Au from 8m (EDJAC280)
-
4m at 0.34 g/t Au from 4m (EDJAC297)
Target 3 revealed the most significant results with five out of eleven holes on a single line yielding intercepts exceeding 0.1 g/t Au. Located 900m southeast of previous drilling at El Capitan, Target 3 is centred over a 59ppb Au soil anomaly. Geologically, the drilling in this area consisted of altered mafic volcanics and thin sediment lenses. High gold concentrations were found within the mafic volcanic unit.
Target 1 involved five lines of drilling extending over a 1,000m strike length, with spacing between lines ranging from 200 to 400m based on peak gold-in-soil anomalism. This target is located 2.5km southeast of Target 3. The gold-in-soil anomalism at Target 1 covers approximately 2.2km and is the most compelling target, exhibiting peak soil values of 145ppb, 60ppb and 46ppb. Drilling detected anomalous gold on three of the five lines with higher gold concentrations found within the mafic volcanic unit. The second line from the north (EDJAC301 to 307) was drilled over a length of approximately 150m – half the length of other lines – due to historic drilling which effectively tested the western side of the gold-in-soil anomaly.
Target 2 consisted of a single line of drilling testing a trend linked to a 50ppb gold-in-soil anomaly, which also coincided with recent gold nugget finds. Geologically, this line showed strong resemblances to the rock units previously encountered at El Capitan, consisting of two mafic volcanic sequences divided by an ultramafic intrusive lens. The highest gold intercept occurred in EDJAC365 – 4m at 0.1 g/t Au from 8m, which was associated with a narrow mafic tuff unit located within the mafic volcanic unit.
The M3 Mining team will arrange for 1m re-sampling of the anomalous composites and further outcrop investigations at Target 2 in areas where the shallow depth of fresh bedrock limited effective drilling. Going forward, the Edjudina Project will concentrate on exploring the Old Plough Dam prospect, situated approximately 1km from Northern Star’s Carosue Dam operations.

E 31/1265 – Old Plough Dam Prospect
The Old Plough Dam prospect is situated approximately 40km southeast of El Capitan and is located within the favourable Keith-Kilkenny Tectonic Zone (see Figure 9). Northern Star’s Twin Peaks open pit gold mine is situated approximately 1km from the M3 Mining tenement boundaries. Additionally, four other gold mines owned and operated by Northern Star as part of the Carosue Dam operations are located nearby (see Figure 10).
The prospect is interpreted to largely consist of a greenstone sequence featuring a mix of mafic and felsic volcanics and clastic sediments. The greenstone sequence is located on the western side of the Carosue Basin, separated by the Keith-Kilkenny Fault, and is bound to the west by intrusive granite gneiss plutonism (Witt, 2008).
Figure 10 illustrates the extent of publicly available gold surface sampling information from the Western Australia Exploration Geochemistry Online surface assays database (WAMEX). The greenstone sequence within the southern portion of the prospect exhibits elevated gold-in-soil values within the tenement. Notable trends are apparent to the southeast along strike, located in the same interpreted geological units. The Company is currently evaluating the effectiveness of these historic soil sampling programs, which have been conducted by various companies over numerous decades.
Figure 9 presents publicly accessible historic drilling data obtained from the WAMEX downhole assay database. It includes 29 drillholes, encompassing four separate drilling programs conducted by three different companies over the period of a decade. The solitary RC drill hole to the north (JDRC036) was completed by the Keith Kilkenny Joint Venture in 1993 and did not encounter any gold anomalism.
Goldfields Exploration Pty Ltd completed 11 RAB drillholes (WWR001 to 11) along the western border in 1995 which did not detect any gold anomalism. Subsequently, in 1997, they completed five AC drillholes (JDRA676 to 680) on the eastern border of the tenement. This drilling was part of the initial exploration phases for the Twin Peaks discovery, with three of the five drillholes on E 31/1265 returning anomalous gold values, notably:
-
4m at 93ppb Au from 60m (JDRA676)
-
5m at 58ppb Au from 64m to EOH (JDRA677)
-
4m at 43ppb Au from 56m to EOH (JDRA679)
Sons of Gwalia completed 12 AC drillholes (JDA1350 to 1361) in the southeastern portion of the tenement in 2002, but these did not yield any significant results.
The Company will continue to examine the effectiveness of the limited historical exploration activities completed and conduct reconnaissance to identify meaningful drill targets on this strategic tenure. An approved POW is already in place for an inaugural aircore drilling program to provide an initial test of previously undrilled soil anomalies and structural targets

Corporate
Cash held as of 30 June 2024 was approximately $1.9m.
Subsequent to end of the period, the Company repriced the second issue of the two-tranche placement announced on 6 February 2024 to $0.045 per securing a further $1m to ensure the Company remains well funded for its planned exploration activities for the coming financial year.
Progress continues to be made in relation to an acquisition in the energy sector. M3 Mining's energy team recently engaged with key government and administrative officials to secure an advanced energy project in the Middle East and North Africa region. Progress includes gaining access to the project's database to refine development and exploration plans. The Company is actively engaging with off-take groups, commercial banks, and corporate finance firms. At this stage, the asset has not been secured, however, subject to receiving relevant approvals, including shareholder approval, the Company will release an announcement to market.
Finally, and subsequent to quarter end, the Company appointed well known and respected oil and gas engineer, Dermot O'Keeffe, to the board as non-executive director.
