DEFLECTOR EXTENDED EXPLORATION PROGRAM RESULTS

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Exceptional assay results have been received from the 144 rock samples collected at MinRex’s Deflector Extended Gold Project during March 2020.

  • Excellent rock sampling results were returned with nine assays exceeding 1g/t Au and three exceeding 4g/t Au. Most of the 144 rock samples collected on this occasion were of quartz and quartz-goethite veins and float.

  • The three values over 4g/t Au came from three different areas within the exploration licence; two were following up on previous anomalous results from surface outcropping and sub-cropping quartz-goethite veins, while the third, of quartz float, came from an entirely different, previously untested area.

  • 131 soil samples were also collected from north of the Cagacaroon Hills, with the highest result being 4ppb Au.

  • These assay results build on the encouraging results from previous exploration programs, and will be followed up with further sampling in the near future.

  • The Company also wishes to announce that the detailed airborne geophysical survey of the East Pilbara Project areas commenced on the 27[th] April 2020.

MinRex Resources Limited (ASX: MRR) (‘MinRex’) is pleased to provide the following update regarding the recent exploration sampling program at its Deflector Extended Gold Project at Gullewa in Western Australia (Figure 1).

MinRex’s Deflector Extended Gold Project (E59/1657) lies 4km, along strike, to the northeast of the Silver Lake Resources Limited Deflector Mine, where copper-gold mineralisation occurs in shear zones in meta-basalt, and only 2km from the Golden Stream open-cut, where gold has been mined from shear-zone hosted quartz veins in meta-basalt.

Current and previous Deflector Extended exploration program details

During the latest field sampling program, in March 2020, a total of 144 rock samples and 131 soil samples (a total of 275 samples), were collected from throughout the licence area – but principally in the scree covered area immediately to the north of the Cagacaroon Hills, containing the principal known anomalous areas. The rock samples were taken from outcrop, float and scree, at random locations, where prospective rocks were observed; with each sample being about 0.5-1.0kg in weight.

The soil sampling program was designed to extend the soil sample coverage by completing three long north-south soil sampling lines in the north and east of the licence. A total of 6.4 line kilometres of soil sampling were completed at 50m sample spacing. Most of this area is covered by deep scree, colluvium and alluvium (Figure 2).

The rock and soil samples were analysed for eight metallic elements (gold, silver, arsenic, copper, lead, molybdenum, nickel and zinc) by the ICP method, either ICP-MS or ICP-OS, by Bureau Veritas in Canning Vale, Perth.

MinRex has been actively exploring the Deflector Extended Gold Project, since 2012, utilising surface soil, auger and rock sampling and geological mapping to hone in to buried mineralized structures and favourable settings for mineralization. About 85% of the project area is covered by scree, colluvium and alluvium, which is up to 20-30m thick, with only a few outcrop areas of mafic meta-basalt in the Cagacaroon Hills area, and other small areas of granite, dolerite and ferricrete.

Rock types observed in this covered area, in small outcrops and as scree and float, include metabasalt, meta-shale and other meta-sediments, ferricrete (pisolitic goethite), granite, dolerite/gabbro and vein quartz. The surface distribution of float rocks suggests that this area is largely underlain by mafic meta-basalt and meta-sediment, with granite predominating to the west and north, and one or two Proterozoic dolerite dykes also being present.

MinRex has now collected a total of 744 surface rock samples at the Deflector Extended Gold Project, 725 soil samples and 185 auger drill samples, which have defined significant anomalous zones 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 with these results supporting the definition of these anomalous zones.

New Deflector Extended exploration program results

The new rock sampling results are considered to be excellent; while previous exploration programs have returned only two gold values over 1g/t Au in the Deflector Extended Gold Project area; on this occasion, in a single sampling program, nine values over 1g/t Au have been collected, and these from three different areas. The new rock sample assay results include three values over 4g/t Au, from three different areas in the north and east of the exploration licence. Two of these were from previously known and sampled anomalous areas, although with no previous assay results as high-grade. These were the “Corner Creek” area (4.04g/t Au), in the central “elbow” of the licence (with a previous assay of 2.89g/t Au) and the “Eastern Dolerite” area (4.89g/t Au)(with a previous assay of 1.07g/t Au). In both of these areas narrow (<1m wide) quartz-goethite veins outcrop, sub-crop and occur as scattered float, in mafic meta-basalt. Although outcrop is poor, these veins seem to be up to 100m in length, outcrop discontinuously, and strike north-south to northeast-southwest and are sub-vertical. The two areas have different minor element geochemistry with the Corner Creek area having only gold values while at the Eastern Dolerite area gold is associated with elevated copper and lead values, up to 1.75% Pb and 0.2% Cu; this area (Eastern Dolerite) returned nine assays over 0.1g/t Au from only eleven samples collected. This mineralisation is in proximity to a Proterozoic, dolerite intrusive body.

The third highly anomalous result was of 4.52g/t Au, returned from a single grab sample of scattered, vein quartz float material in clay/sand colluvium on flat floodplain, with minor pisolitic

ferricrete material, in the extreme north-eastern corner of the exploration licence. This sample suggests that it is probable that the mafic meta-basalt lithology continues under this colluvium covered area that has not previously been tested by soil sampling or drilling. In all the three prospect areas define a one kilometre wide and two kilometre long anomalous area that is now considered a high priority for future exploration.

Figure 3 (above) shows the gold results for the 144 new rock samples, the assays over 1g/t Au (1,000ppb) are labelled; while Appendix 1 has the full assay results for gold and base metals.

The soil sampling completed in this program comprised 131 samples, collected at 50m intervals along three north-south lines. The individual samples were screened to exclude the +2.8mm oversize and the residual <2.8mm portion was then dried, crushed and pulverised to produce a sample for analysis. All of the soil and rock samples were analysed for eight elements (gold, silver, arsenic, copper, lead, molybdenum, nickel and zinc) by Bureau Veritas in Canning Vale, Perth.

The gold assay results from the new soil samples are shown below in Figure 4 and the full assay results are detailed in Appendix 2, at the rear of this report. The assay results were low with a highest value of 4ppb being returned from line 442500E, in close proximity to an outcropping Proterozoic dolerite dyke within an area interpreted to host meta-basalt and meta-sediment rock types. Samples on the three lines, either 1.8km or 2.8km long, were low, thought to be due to the deep colluvial cover in most of this area.

MinRex has now completed several surface sampling programs at the Deflector Extended Gold Project, collecting a total of 744 surface rock samples, 725 soil samples and 185 auger drill samples

within the tenement area, on a number of lines of close-spaced, surface soil sampling; random surface grab sampling of outcropping rock, scree, float, colluvium, calcrete, ferricrete and sediment, and shallow auger drilling. The gold assay results from all 744 of the rock samples are shown below in Figure 5, while the gold assay results from all 725 of the soil samples are shown below in Figure 6.

The best rock sampling results are from three distinct areas, in the north and east of the exploration licence, where a number of anomalous surface rock assay values (up to 4.89g/t Au) occur. These include outcropping and sub-cropping quartz-goethite veins and scattered quartz vein float, within mafic meta-basalt, meta-shale and on the surface of colluvial clay/sand cover. 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, especially immediately to the north of the hills, and possibly extending to the north and east under colluvial cover (Figure 5).

Figure 5: Plan showing the geology and all rock sample gold results, in E59/1657

The results from this latest exploration and sampling program are still being collated and analysed. However, an initial conclusion is that the depth of cover to the north of the Cagacaroon Hills may be obscuring any underlying mineralisation. With this in mind, the next stage of work at the Deflector Extended Gold Project will include the collection of further surface rock and soil samples, along with the commencement of heritage survey activities, with archaeological and ethnographic surveys over proposed drilling areas. The field sampling programs will aim to further pin-point the most anomalous areas for subsequent drilling. This work will concentrate on the already defined anomalous zones, but also include some further reconnaissance work elsewhere in the Deflector Extended Gold Project.

Once all of the requisite surveys and approvals are obtained, it is anticipated that a shallow (1020m), aircore drilling program of lines of holes about 40m apart will be conducted, within the most anomalous areas, for gold and base metals. It is also thought that a small rig will be able to work in the area, using the existing access lines and tracks, without having to mechanically clear lines. A simple process of hand clearing, or vegetation avoidance, can probably be utilised to enable drill rig access and conduct the drilling as a relatively low disturbance program.

Further exploration work planned for East Pilbara Gold Project tenements

MinRex is also commencing the next phase in its systematic exploration of its East Pilbara Gold Project areas. The Company’s detailed airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey over the East Pilbara Project areas commenced on the 27[th] April 2020, with the two Bamboo Creek Gold Project exploration licences being flown first, to be followed by the Daltons Gold Project. This detailed geophysical survey will include over 2,500km of flying and be flown at a sensor height of 30m and 50m line spacing. The flying will be completed during May 2020 and target generation and interpretation work, based on the airborne geophysics, will then be completed and used to guide future field exploration sampling and geological mapping programs.

The 2020 exploration program planning also includes further geological mapping along with rock and soil sampling work on all four of MinRex’s project areas around Marble Bar. Close-spaced ground geophysical surveys are also being considered at the two smaller Marble Bar licences, which would result in geophysical programs covering all five of MinRex’s East Pilbara mineral licences. The rock sampling, soil sampling in colluvium and soil covered areas and detailed

==> picture [75 x 25] intentionally omitted <==

geological mapping will be used to better understand these complex gold, base metal and polymetallic mineralised systems at the Daltons, Marble Bar and Bamboo Creek Gold Project areas (Figure 7). This work will aim to build on the results received from the previous six exploration programs that MinRex has completed in the East Pilbara area within the past two years.
