MIDAS MINERALS SEPTEMBER 2021 QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT
Highlights
-
Midas completed a heavily oversubscribed $6M IPO at $0.20 and listed on the ASX on 7 September 2021
-
Strong cash position of $7.6m
-
Maiden drill program commenced at its Weebo Gold Project; initial results expected in the December quarter
-
Rock chip sampling results, returning up to 24 g/t Au, have highlighted additional drill targets in untested areas at Weebo
-
Challa Project auger geochemical sampling program underway, testing several gold, nickel-copper and platinum group mineral targets
Midas Minerals Limited ( “ Midas ”, or “ The Company ”) (ASX: MM1) is pleased to provide an update on its activities during the September 2021 Quarter including exploration activities at its portfolio of gold and base metal projects in WA’s Goldfields region.
Midas commenced trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 7 September 2021 following completion of heavily oversubscribed Initial Public Offer (“IPO”) which raised $6 million (before costs) through the issue of 30 million shares at an issue of $0.20. Funds raised supplement existing cash of about $2 million[1] , giving the company an enterprise value of $4.8M based on the IPO issue price.

EXPLORATION AND GEOLOGICAL DETAIL
Weebo Gold Project
Exploration
Midas completed gravity (5,675 stations) and airborne magnetic (1,173-line km) surveys at Weebo to supplement acquired open file and multiclient data and the high-quality merged datasets, which have been processed by Geophysics contractor Resource Potentials Pty Ltd.
Early review of this data assisted the Company in locating major shears extending north from Thunderbox-Otto Bore and additional oblique structures, both of which are considered very prospective for gold enrichment.
The surveys were also successful in delineating an additional 16km strike of the Waterloo - Valdez ultramafic stratigraphy extending north from the high-grade Waterloo-Amorac nickel deposits. Waterloo-Amorac was discovered in 2002 as the first significant nickel deposit east of the Perseverance fault, in the Leinster area.
Drilling
In late September, Midas commenced AC and RC drilling at Weebo, targeting gold mineralisation at the Ockerburry and Scone Stone prospects, located 21-28km along strike to the north of Northern Star Resources’ (ASX: NST) Thunderbox mine and the Otto prospect located 5km north of Northern Star’s Otto Bore gold deposit.

==> picture [97 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
Midas planned 120 AC and RC holes on 30 drill traverses over a total of about 7km strike. The programme is expected to total about 10,000m of AC and 2,500m of RC drilling which will be completed in approximately seven weeks. This program is progressing well with 94 holes completed to date (refer ASX Announcement dated 25 October 2021).
Prior drilling by previous explorers, mostly completed between 1994 and 2002, predominantly comprised reconnaissance Rotary Air Blast ( RAB ) and AC drilling and was successful in broadly defining anomalous gold mineralisation along significant regional shear zones. Prior RC drilling only amounted to four holes at Ockerburry, 27 holes at Scone and eight holes at Otto prospects.
Midas anticipates the first results from the Weebo drill program in the December 2021 quarter.

Auger Geochemical Sampling
During the quarter, Midas commenced close-spaced auger drilling and geochemical sampling (Auger Geochem) in several areas containing gold or nickel mineralisation on the Weebo project. The Company recently completed the initial Auger Geochem and has received assay results from the first batch of 738 samples (approx. a third of the samples) of the 2,255 total samples. These initial results, complemented with rock chip sampling, are highlighting additional potential drill targets at the Wheel of Fortune and Sir Samuel - Castle Hill prospects.
- Wheel of Fortune
A total of 881 holes were drilled, 404 from which assays have been received. Based on the location of historic gold workings gold values of 5ppb Au or greater are considered anomalous. Lead, arsenic and copper are seen as complementary pathfinder elements. Several new priority drill targets are expected to be defined in this area, once all assays from the auger drilling are received (refer figure 4)

17 rock chip samples were also collected in the field by the supervising geologists. Of significance, gold assay values including 24.0g/t Au, 21.7g/t Au and 3.25g/t Au were returned form samples of quartz and host rock (schists) from historic workings (refer table 1 and figure 4). There is no field evidence or recorded prior drilling below these workings. Refining of this target and follow-up drilling is considered a priority.

- Sir Samuel – Castle Hill
A total of 851 holes were drilled, 333 of which assays are being reported. Early indications are promising however all assays from the auger program are required before drill targets can be properly defined and prioritised. Prior exploration returned several anomalous drill intercepts in sparse rotary air blast (RAB) drilling (on 800m x 100m hole spacing) providing only 25% coverage across strike. Of the 61 RAB holes drilled over 4.8km[2] , 12 contained anomalous gold mineralisation including maximum hole grades of 13.0g/t Au and 1.94g/t Au (refer table 2 and figure 5). The Auger Geochem is designed to provide additional information in the “gaps” to assist in the definition of gold anomalism and to better vector toward drill targets.

Challa Gold, Nickel-Copper-PGE project
Exploration
In June, the Company booked a helicopter-supported EM survey, the VTEM Max system for the north-eastern section of the Company’s tenure over the giant mafic-ultramafic layered intrusion known as the Windimurra Igneous Complex (WIC)[2] , a geological feature that hosts Mídas’ Challa Gold, Nickel-Copper-PGE project.
The survey is planned to cover an approximate 133km[2] portion of the WIC at 200m. Line spacing and is planned to commence during the December quarter.

The area has been selected to target:
-
Structurally controlled sulphide Cu-Ag-Au mineralisation (John Bore South)
-
Structurally controlled sulphide Au-Cu, Au-As mineralisation (Killarney)
-
Reef-style PGE sulphide or chromite mineralisation (Wondinong-Killarney)
-
Reef-style or fault breccia hosted Ni-Cu-PGE sulphides (Entire survey area)
-
Structurally controlled Pb-Zn mineralisation (John Bore).
Auger Geochemical Sampling
Midas commenced Auger Geochem on areas with shallow cover in the Wondinong-Killarney area. An initial program of 2,500 holes is planned, aiming to infill and extend the program where initial results identified targeted metal anomalism. Approximately 800 auger holes have been completed to date.
Midas plans to secure a deeper penetrating drill rig from a drilling contractor for a program commencing at Challa in early 2022, in anticipation for testing bedrock mineralisation associated with geochemical and geophysical anomalies defined in the programs underway over the next three months.
