DEFLECTOR EXTENDED AND HEEMSKIRK EXPLORATION UPDATE

  • Three surface rock samples returned assay results exceeding 0.1g/t Au, from a discrete, screecovered area of the Deflector Extended Gold Project.

  • The Deflector Extended Gold Project assays were from the extensive field program, comprising 160 surface rock samples and 14 soil samples, conducted in May and June 2017. The full assay results for this program are reported herein.

  • Analyses of up to 4.6% tin at old workings and 32.5% tin in stream sediment concentrate were returned from sampling at the Heemskirk Tin Project.

  • The assay results are reported herein for the 58 rock samples, 68 soil samples and 7 stream sediment concentrate samples collected at the Heemskirk Tin Project in February 2017.

MinRex Resources Limited (ASX: MRR) (“MinRex” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide the following update regarding the latest exploration programs at its two Project areas - the Deflector Extended Gold Project at Gullewa in Western Australia and the Heemskirk Tin Project in Tasmania.

Deflector Extended Gold Project

MinRex’s Deflector Extended Gold Project (E59/1657) lies to the northeast of the Doray Minerals Limited (Doray) Deflector Mine, where copper-gold mineralisation occurs in shear zones in metabasalt, and also the Golden Stream open-cut, where gold was produced from shear zone-hosted quartz veins in meta-basalt.

MinRex has been actively exploring the Project area since 2011, utilising surface sampling and geological mapping to hone into buried mineralized structures and favourable settings for mineralization. The area of E59/1657 consists of about 15% outcrop of mafic meta-basalts in the Cagacaroon Hills area, and about 85% cover sediments, plus one or two small areas of granite and laterite.

Several surface sampling programs have now been completed within the tenement area, utilizing surface grab samples of outcropping rock, scree, float, colluvium, calcrete, ferricrete and sediment. A number of lines of close-spaced, surface soil sampling have also been completed, with samples generally at 50m spacing.

During May and June 2017, an extensive field program at MinRex’s Deflector Extended Gold Project collected 160 surface rock samples and 14 soil samples. The results from the 160 newly collected rock and float samples are shown below on Figure 1 and in detail in Appendix 1, at the rear of this report; three of these samples returned assay results exceeding 0.1ppm Au. The 14 soil samples were collected on a traverse into Salt River, near the north-eastern boundary of the lease, with the assay results from these being presented below in Appendix 2.

MinRex has now collected a total of 350 surface rock, scree and float samples in the Deflector Extended Gold Project area, along with soil samples and auger drill results, which have defined three anomalous zones suitable for further examination and sampling. There have also been prior programs of RAB drilling, aircore drilling and soil sampling, by earlier explorers of the area, the results from which support the definition of these anomalous zones.

In particular, a number of anomalous assay values (up to 0.25ppm Au) cluster in a distinct screecovered area, adjacent to mafic meta-basalt and an interpreted fault zone, near the central corner of the lease (Area 2) (Figure 2).

The other two anomalous zones are to the north of the Golden Stream mine (Area 1) and along Salt River north of the hidden Gearless Well intrusion (Area 3); which may lie along strike from the Deflector Mine. The prevalence of higher gold values in rock and soil values in areas of mafic colluvium suggests that concealed mineralisation may lie below the blanket of scree surrounding the Cagacaroon Hills meta-basalt outcrop area.

The collection of further rock and soil samples during 2017 is planned to further pinpoint the most anomalous areas for subsequent drilling. This work will concentrate on the three defined anomalous zones, but also include some further reconnaissance work elsewhere in the Deflector Extended Gold Project.

Heemskirk Tin Project

The Heemskirk Tin Project lies in exploration licence EL18/2011, on the west coast of Tasmania. A one year extension to this licence was granted on the 24[th] May 2017, extending the term to the 2[nd] April 2018. MinRex has now held its Heemskirk Tin Project since 2012 and has been successful in identifying a number of the old tin workings, dating from the 1870’s-1880’s, and has collected a total of 129 stream sediment concentrate samples, 99 rock chip samples and 78 soil samples, for a total of 306 samples.

The latest field program was completed in February 2017, to collect rock samples from three of the old workings, along with soil samples from the slopes of the previously defined anomalous stream valleys, to the east of the Peripatetic and north of the Carn Brea Mines; and collect a few new stream sediment concentrate samples, where further infill was required. This more diverse exploration program collected a total of 58 rock samples, 68 soil samples and 7 stream sediment concentrate samples, for 133 samples; the results from which are presented herein.

The 58 rock samples were predominantly collected at the old Peripatetic, Carn Brea and Fisher & Smith mine workings, with the best results from these being three values above 1% tin, with a highest value of 4.6% tin at the old Peripatetic workings. The results from the 68 soil samples were generally low, with no significant results being returned (highest value of 0.02% tin). The results from the 58 rock samples and 68 soil samples are plotted below on Figure 3. The full rock sample assay results are tabulated below in Appendix 3, while the full soil sample assay results are tabulated below in Appendix 4.

Figure 3: Heemskirk Tin Project plan showing old mines and the results from all rock and soil samples

The seven new stream sediment concentrate samples included two results of over 1% tin, the highest being 32% tin, in the vicinity of the old Carn Brea workings. The samples have been hand panned to concentrate heavy minerals and are therefore higher grade than the original in-situ stream sediments. A total of 129 stream sediment concentrate samples have now been collected, with 23 of these samples exceeding 1% tin, as shown below in Figure 4. The new assay results are tabulated below in Appendix 5.

Figure 4: Plan of the Panned-Concentrate Stream Sediment Assay Grades from Heemskirk

The 129 stream sediment concentrate samples were collected with the rationale that the results would delineate the most anomalous areas for more detailed sampling and exploration. Examination of the stream sediment concentrate results clearly shows a number of areas with consistently higher results, including a number of streams with no known mines or deposits to the east of the Peripatetic Mine and to the north of the Carn Brea Mine. However, the results from the soil sampling along the valley sides in these anomalous areas were low, with no assays higher than 0.02% tin (Figure 3, Appendix 4).

Rock sampling at the Peripatetic workings did return some anomalous results with a high value of 4.6% tin (sample 16082) from the face of an open stope between Adits 3 and 4 (Figure 5). Previous sampling by other companies at the Peripatetic mine has returned assay values up to 12.3% tin.

Figure 5: Sketch map of the old Peripatetic mine workings with rock sample numbers

MinRex has been completing detailed stream sediment concentrate sampling, rock sampling and soil sampling within the Heemskirk area, in an effort to discover previously overlooked large, low-grade tin deposits; or smaller, high to medium-grade tin deposits. MinRex believes that while the Heemskirk tin field is relatively old, the work previously completed has not been systematic or thorough and that potential remains for new discoveries in the area.

Work is now continuing on collating all of the exploration results to date and planning for the next stage of exploration, with a new field program expected to commence in the coming spring or summer months.
