- MARQUEE SIGNS NON EXCLUSIVE MEMORANDUM OF COLLABORATION WITH YANTAI JINAO TO ADVANCE MOUNT CLEMENT ANTIMONY PROJECT
HIGHLIGHTS
-
50kg of representative ore from Mount Clement to be shipped to Yantai Jinao for bench-scale (and if warranted, pilot-scale) testwork using its comprehensive recovery system.
-
Joint flowsheet collaboration targeting a saleable antimony concentrate specification and a concept-to-pre-FEED pathway.
-
Potential investment by Yantai Jinao into Marquee and/or Mount Clement to be assessed via structured diligence; any investment to be documented under separate definitive agreements.
-
Potential offtake framework to be evaluated in parallel (specs, pricing reference, logistics and conditions precedent).
-
Non-exclusive: the Memorandum expressly allows both parties to engage with third parties; Marquee retains the right to pursue alternative testwork, funding and offtake counterparties at any time.
-
Marquee’s Eastern Hills (Mt Clement) Project lies contiguous on the eastern flank of the Eastern Hills Antimony Mineral Resource owned by Black Cat Syndicate Ltd (ASX:BC8, “Black Cat”). Black Cat has stated that its portion of the antimony deposit is the largest undeveloped antimony deposit and the 4th largest antinomy Resource in Australia: 794kt @ 1.7% Sb (~13kt), +Au, +Ag).[1] When combined with Marquees Eastern Hills Project it underscores the district-scale significance.
-
The recently announced JORC (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource: 1.14Mt at 0.60% SbEq for 6,800t SbEq*of contained metal with ~83% of contained antimony metal sitting within the open-pit component. (Refer ASX release 12 September 2025 for further details).
Marquee Resources Limited (ASX: MQR) (“Marquee” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has executed a non-binding, non-exclusive Memorandum of Collaboration with YANTAI JINAO ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY CO. LTD. (“Yantai Jinao”) , a subsidiary of the Yantai Jinao Holding Group Co. Ltd., to progress metallurgical testwork, flowsheet development, potential investment discussions and potential offtake opportunities for Marquee’s Mount Clement Antimony Project in Western Australia.

Yantai Jinao Holding Group Co., Ltd. is a very large integrated enterprise based in Yantai, Shandong Province, China, specialising in the antimony and non-ferrous metals industry. Its business spans mineral development, comprehensive recycling, investment and trade, and technological innovation, with subsidiaries in China, Zimbabwe, Malaysia, and Singapore.
In mineral development, Yantai Jinao employs advanced, green, and intelligent mining technologies to maximise resource utilisation while maintaining environmental balance. Its comprehensive recycling - division, led by Yantai Jinao Environmental Protection Technology Co. Ltd., operates within Haiyang’s Non ferrous Metals Circular Economy Industrial Park, covering ~233,000 m². The facility recovers gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and antimony from complex ores and industrial waste, producing annually about 4.5 tonnes of gold, 6 tonnes of silver, 25,000 tonnes of blister copper, and 4,000 tonnes of cathode antimony, with an output value exceeding RMB 4 billion.
For over 15 years, Jinao has focused on smelting technology and circular resource utilisation, holding 7 invention patents and 43 utility model patents.
Yantai Jinao ’s comprehensive recovery technologies, pilot facilities and modular plant capabilities are applicable to complex concentrates and residues. These credentials are highly relevant to antimony flowsheeting and scale-up and will be of huge benefit to Marquee as we enter the next stage of development for our Mount Clement Project.
Marquee Resources Limited’s Executive Chairman Mr. Charles Thomas commented:
- “Yantai Jinao is a global leader in antimony processing and circular economy metallurgy. We’re delighted to partner with a counterparty of this calibre as we advance Mount Clement.”
“Working with Yantai Jinao gives Marquee a credible, rapid and capital -light technical pathway while preserving our non-exclusive position and full optionality to engage with additional strategic, funding and offtake partners as the Project progresses.”
The key workstreams that will be collaborated on together and the indicative timelines are:
• Phase 1 (Weeks 0– 12): Sample preparation & shipment; bench testwork; initial flowsheet concept; Gate 1 review.
-
Phase 2 (Months 3– 9): Pilot testwork (if justified); draft techno-economic assessment; non-binding offtake terms; investment diligence; Gate 2 review.
-
Phase 3 (Months 9– 12+): Negotiation of definitive agreements (investment/offtake/JV or EPCM/BOO), FEED planning.
The Memorandum is non-binding (other than customary confidentiality and related provisions) and nonexclusive. Any binding arrangements will be documented in definitive agreements following satisfactory results and approvals.

Project Location
The Mt Clement Project is located 30km SW of Black Cat Syndicate’s (ASX:BC8) Paulsens gold mine, at the western end of the Ashburton Basin in the northern Capricorn Orogen. Mineralisation at the Mt Clement deposit (ASX: BC8) consists of economic quantities of gold (Au), copper (Cu), antimony (Sb), silver (Ag), and lead (Pb) with arsenic (As) a key indicator. Marquees Eastern Hills (Mt Clement) Project is contiguous on the eastern flank of the Eastern Hills Antimony Mineral Resource now owned by Black Cat Syndicate Ltd. Black Cat has stated that its portion of this antimony deposit is Australia’s largest undeveloped antimony Project and the fourth largest antimony Resource in Australia comprising 794kt @ 1.7% Sb (~13kt), +Au, +Ag).[2]
The Company has identified several prospects (Mt Edith, Yandi Well, Blackadder and Lady Marian) in addition to Eastern Hills, where potential antimony and gold mineralisation will be further targeted. The Ashburton Basin is an underexplored terrain in the west Pilbara, host to numerous examples of Au, Pb-Ag and Cu mineralisation.
