HIGH PRIORTIY GOLD TARGETS IDENTIFIED AT EDJUDINA
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Multiple high priority gold targets have been identified following the completion of ground-based Sub-Audio Magnetic (SAM) survey, including;
-
Potentially significant multiple deformation and alteration features including cross-cutting faults and intrusive features
-
Planning underway for a detailed geochemical survey designed to generate targets along the prospective mineralised trend, with drilling expected to commence in Q1 CY2022
M3 Mining Limited (ASX:M3M) (“ M3 Mining ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to report the results of the first ground-based geophysical program completed at the Edjudina Gold project. A Sub-Audio Magnetic (SAM) survey was completed by Gap Geophysics Australia Pty Ltd and designed to trace out the continuation of mineralised sequences along strike within the Yilgangi Shear Zone, a major known mineralisation and structural zone that hosts several major gold mines such as Carosue Dam held by Northern Star Limited (ASX:NST).
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SIMON ELEY:
“The Edjudina Project is an impressive opportunity for M3 Mining as it offers such a broad potential for regional scale gold discoveries in the Eastern Goldfields. The recently completed SAM survey was successful in highlighting the principal mineralised structures that combined with several highly anomalous targets, will form the foundation of our aggressive drilling program that is scheduled for Q1 CY2022. Having just completed our maiden drill program at Victoria Bore, we are thrilled that the preliminary results from Edjudina can provide investors with another layer of excitement and demonstrate the potential for significant discoveries”

WORK COMPLETED
Two areas were surveyed in the 55-line kilometre survey. The first survey area (ED01) is located at the southern end of E31/1140 and covered a three kilometres strike length of the mineralised trend for a total area of 3.7 sq.km. The second area (ED02) covered sections of the mineralised trends in P31/2113 and E31/1141 immediately north of the Rainbow gold deposit held by another party, this area covered a total area of 1.3 sq.km.
The lines surveyed were oriented east-west and spaced 100m apart. Magnetic and Total Field EM data were collected.
The results have now been assessed by Southern Geoscience Pty Ltd, M3M’s geophysical consultants. It is considered that the survey was very successful in tracing out the principal potentially mineralised structures including those which host the Rainbow Prospect on the neighbouring tenement. These survey’s support M3M’s interpretation that known mineralised structures continue on our tenement’s and highlights the exploration upside of the project. In addition, several cross-cutting faults, alteration or intrusive features and potentially significant deformation features were identified which were never defined with surface mapping or geochemical analysis, these areas warrant further investigation.
M3M is currently planning a detailed geochemical survey designed to delineate aircore and RC drilling targets along this prospective mineralised trend.
With the recent granting of E31/1258 a program of aircore drilling also is being planned at the Jump Up prospect to follow-up several highly anomalous results from previous drilling including 2m at 5.69g/t Au and 8m at 1.29g/t Au.

About M3 Mining
M3 Mining Limited (ASX:M3M) is a Perth-based mineral exploration company focussed on creating value for shareholders through exploration and development of a high quality copper and gold exploration portfolio. M3 Mining’s projects are strategically located in regions surrounded by majors and has experienced minimal modern, systematic exploration across both projects. The Company’s strategy is to apply a systematic approach to the assessment and prioritisation of its projects, all of which have the potential to produce material discoveries.
The information in this announcement that relates to exploration results is based on and fairly represents information compiled by Jeremy Clark, a competent person who is a member of the AusIMM. Jeremy Clark is the sole director of Lily Valley International Pty. Ltd. Jeremy Clark has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 edition of the Australasian Code of Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Jeremy Clark consents to the inclusion in this announcement of the matters based on his work in the form and context in which it appears.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| Criteria | Commentary |
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
The Edjudina Project consists of 7 granted tenements, 6 exploration licences and 1 prospecting licence. No joint venture or royalties are understood to impact the tenements. No known impediments are understood to occur to allow further exploration. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Several generations of drilling and exploration has been completed within the Edjudina Project, including geochemical surveys, air core drilling and RC drilling occurring within the tenement packages. Exploration is considered to be at an early stage across all tenements. |
| Geology | The data supplied indicates mineralisation within the tenements is potentially in line with the commonly observed Eastern Goldfields shear hosted, structurally control mineralisation style. Given the tenements are either along strike, or along interpreted similar splays, of the highly structurally controlled Yilgangie Goldfield, mineralisation within the tenements is likely to be highly structurally controlled requiring phased exploration methods which are targeted with the results analysed in detail between each phase |
| Drill hole Information |
Not applicable as no drilling was undertaken. |
| Data aggregation methods |
There has been no data aggregation. |
