ASX Announcement Activities for Quarter Ending 30 June 2018
MT FORREST PROJECT
The Company has continued to review development options for the Mt Forrest Iron Project.
Elevated economic outlook for iron ore has materially re-activated interest is the Company’s Mt Forrest Project. Discussions with infrastructure groups were ongoing during the Quarter with the aim of establishing a framework for a joint approach to infrastructure development in the Midwest region of Western Australia. The current regional infrastructure concept includes collaborating with other companies in the area surrounding the Mt Forrest Project to create ‘critical mass’ which would support the resources required to fully evaluate the economics of a large scale infrastructure solution.
Discussions are at an early stage and it is uncertain if a commercial outcome will result. However, the Company is encouraged by these early stage discussions and will continue to engage in these discussions in order to determine if involvement may result in a commercial benefit for shareholders of Mindax Limited.
The Company is encouraged by the concepts presented and is working towards gaining further understanding of the potential of this initiative to unlock the stranded iron ore assets in the Midwest region of Western Australia.
No geological or other activity has been undertaken on the Mt Forrest tenements during the quarter.
MEEKATHARRA GOLD PROJECT
The Company has completed a desktop study of the gold prospectivity of EL51/1705 during the quarter ending 30 June 2018. The work has culminated in the Company refining an exploration programme focusing on the gold potential within the tenement area. A budget for this programme has been approved and it is anticipated an exploration drill programme will be completed during the September Quarter. The programme will include data compilation, target review and exploration planning followed by drilling later in the September quarter
