Second formal Farm-in and Joint-Venture Agreement signed for Sofala Project area.
MinRex Resources Limited (ASX: MRR) (“ MinRex ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to provide an update on recent exploration developments at its Sofala Project and announce the execution of a formal Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement with Fortius Mines Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Australian United Mining Limited (ASX:AYM)) in relation to EL7423.

About Sofala Project
The Sofala Project Area is a historical gold mining region with workings dating back to 1851. MinRex holds farm-in over two exploration licences in (EL7974 and EL7423) to earn up to 80% of those licences. The area contains 10 historical mines and 16 artisanal workings. The project area covers 18 units (~41km2 ) across the two licences.
About Wiles Prospect
The Wiles Prospect, a new prospect discovered by joint-venture partner Wattle Resources Pty Ltd ( Wattle ), is an orogenic gold deposit situated on strike of the Big Oakey Fault. This deposit was unknown until discovered by Wattle whilst undertaking soil sampling in the area in 2018 and confirming mineralization with reconnaissance drilling in late 2020.
The Wiles Prospect is an addition to the other excellent prospects in the Sofala Project area, including Spring Gully, Surface Hill Queenslander and Surface Ridge (see Figure 1 and Figure 2 below).

EL7974
Land Access Agreement – Drilling and Surface Rights
MinRex has confirmed land access rights to the Wiles Prospect. The land access agreement between Wattle and the private landholder provides MinRex (as manager of the EL7974 farm-in and jointventure) with the right to access the Wiles Prospect for the purpose of surface and drilling activities.
Wattle gained approval for 11 drillholes on the Wiles Prospect of which 6 were completed in late 2020 (see below for further details). These drilling approvals can be utilised by MinRex on any subsequent drilling campaign on Wiles Prospect.
Soil Sampling Results
MinRex has received and verified historical soil sampling assay results completed by Wattle on the Wiles and Little Oakey Prospects. 318 -2.4mm soils samples were collected returning highly anomalous assay results up to 9.26 ppm. Significant surface geochem anomalies were identified from the results.
Sampling locations are displayed in Figure 2 (below) and significant assay results are displayed in Figure 3 (see Appendices).
Historical RC Drill Results
MinRex has received and verified assay results from Wattle for historical drilling completed by Compass Resources NL. Compass drilled a total of 45 RC drill holes at Surface Ridge, Surface Hill, Whalans Hill and Caledonian Prospects from 1991 to 1994. Prior to this, 23 vertical percussion drill holes were completed on the Big Oakey prospect by G. Abignano Pty Ltd Drilling during the 1980’s, limited information is available for this period of exploration activity.
Drilling locations are displayed in Figure 2 (below) and significant assay results are shown in Table 1 (see Appendices).
Wattle Resources RC Drilling Results
MinRex has received and verified assay results for historical drilling completed by Wattle. 6 shallow RC drillholes were completed by Wattle in late 2020 on the Wiles Prospect to test the previously identified soil geochem anomaly from 2018.
Drilling locations are displayed in Figure 2 (below) and significant assay results are listed in Table 1 (see Appendices).
On the above geochemistry results, MinRex Chief Operating Officer Stuart Till said:
“First pass shallow reconnaissance RC drill data at the Wiles prospect has identified significant gold mineralisation open in all directions. Drilling has validated the anomalous surface soil geochemistry completed in 2018 at the prospect which will now be the focus of additional infill RC drilling by MinRex moving forward.”

EL7423
Fortius Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement
MinRex has executed a formal Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement with Fortius Mines Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Australian United Mining (ASX:AUM) in relation to EL7423. This is the second (and last) formal Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement for the Sofala Project area further to the acquisitions announced by MinRex on 22 October 2020 (and approved by Shareholders on 27 November 2020).

Under the terms of the Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement, MinRex has 3 years to earn a 51% interest in EL7423 by spending $750K and an additional 29% interest (80% total) by spending an additional $1.55 million. Standard dilution clauses apply once MinRex completes the first stage of the farm-in (should MinRex elect not to continue the farm-in) or on completion of the second stage of the farm-in, except that Fortius’ interest will be free carried once it falls to 10%. Fortius also has a 1% net smelter royalty over MinRex’s interest in minerals mined from EL7423.
As approved by shareholders on 27 November 2020, MinRex will today issue Fortius 50,000,000 shares and made cash payments totalling $50,000. MinRex looks forward to working with Fortius to help realize the full potential of EL7423 as part of its broader Lachlan Fold Belt strategy.
Spring Gully Land Access Agreement - MinRex secures Drilling and Surface Rights
MinRex has confirmed land access rights to the area known as Spring Gully. A land access agreement has been entered into between joint venture partner Fortius and a private landholder. This land access agreement provides MinRex (as manager of the EL7423 farm-in and joint-venture) with the right to access the private landholder’s property for the purpose of surface and drilling exploration.
About Spring Gully
Spring Gully is an orogenic gold deposit located along strike of the Spring Gully fault. The prospect has been the subject of extensive historical RC and diamond drilling with significant intercepts of [email protected]/t Au and [email protected]/t Au (see ASX Announcement “Investor Presentation” dated 25 November 2020 for further details).
This ASX announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of MinRex Resources Limited.
