The project area lies in the Biranup Zone, a structural extension of the Fraser Zone that hosts the Nova-Bollinger nickel-copper deposit and is of similar age to the Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) mineralisation in the Gawler Craton. Potential also exists within this region for Broken Hill type Deposits (BHT).

Despite the high prospectivity, there has been limited exploration within the tenements. This is largely due to a thin layer (0-40m) of transported cover which to date has impeded surface geochemistry and geological understanding.

As part of the program to be funded by Minrex, eight reverse circulation (RC) holes will be drilled to depths of 200-300m to test the five prospects developed through a review and reprocessing of existing data to determine the presence of IOCG or BHT mineralisation.

ASX Announcement ASX: WC1 ACN 649 994 669

West Cobar Metals’ Managing Director, Matt Szwedzicki, commented:

“Since acquiring this ground and then interpreting the data available, we have been keenly anticipating drilling these high impact copper-gold targets. The agreement with Minrex has been important in enabling us to do so.

Based on an excellent dataset of geophysical information, we will be targeting five separate targets in what is a highly prospective region with the aim of identifying copper, gold and base metals deposits of scale. We are working through approvals and are excited to start this drill program during Q2 2025.”

Background

The Fraser Range Project is situated approximately 120 km north-east of the township of Esperance. All the project’s tenements are located on non-agricultural undeveloped state land.

A detailed review of the tenements including reprocessing of gravity, aeromagnetic and EM data by Resource Potentials Pty Ltd, has defined IOCG and BHT style targets with potential for copper, base metals and gold mineralisation.

IOCG deposits are strongly associated with intense alkaline magmatism events associated with melting of previously metasomatised lithospheric mantle. Major deposits are all located close to the margins of Archean cratons such as the mafic dominated Fraser Zone in the Albany-Fraser Orogen.

BHT deposits consist of high-grade metamorphosed silver-zinc-lead mineralisation (e.g. Broken Hill, Cannington deposits) hosted by Proterozoic aged gneiss and schist. They can be detectable by gravity (high density massive sulphides), magnetics (if contain pyrrhotite) and EM Surveys (conductive sulphides).

West Cobar’s tenements lie within the Biranup Zone, currently dated at ca 1.65 Ga that coincides with one of the major Australian IOCG forming events - the ca. 1.59 Ga Olympic Province, which includes several large deposits within Southern and Northern Australia.[1]

The project occurs within a structurally complex region of the Fraser Range Terrane and is centred above a deep regional gravity anomaly (~50 milligals) thought to reflect buried maficultramafic rocks similar to those that host the Nova-Bollinger deposit.

Recent data releases (2024) from Geoscience Australia on IOCG prospectivity, indicate that West Cobar’s tenements lie over the 170 km deep Lithosphere-Asthenosphere Boundary zone (LAB) which appears to be related to the occurrence of large metal deposits elsewhere in Australia. The location of the target areas on a craton boundary and with major crustal suture zones could have allowed migration of mineralizing fluid from the mantle and crust to allow the formation of large metal rich deposits (including both IOCG and BHT styles).

The company’s geophysical consultants, Resource Potentials Pty Ltd, have re-processed available geophysical data and the drill program has been proposed in association with the Company’s geological advisor Bruce Hooper.

The coincident geophysical anomalism of the target areas, combined with the structural complexity evident in the aeromagnetics with major cross-cutting structures, make for compelling drill targets. The targets have been refined with three IOCG (Glenmorangie, Oban and Talisker) and two BHT (Benriach and Glendronach) prospects prioritised for RC drilling.

Agreement with Minrex Resources Limited

The key terms of the farm-in and option agreement ( Agreement ) between West Cobar and Minrex are summarised below:

  1. MinRex is granted an exclusive option to acquire a 50% interest in exploration licences E63/2078 and E63/2083 and 50% of the rights to all minerals in the basement rocks on E63/2056 (together, the " Option Interest ") by providing $500,000 (" Option Fee ") towards funding of exploration activities on the project as follows:

  2. a. $50,000 deposit already paid to provide funding for the aboriginal heritage survey to be completed in April 2025.

  3. b. $150,000 upon West Cobar receiving programme of works approvals under the Mining Act 1978 (WA) for at least 2,000m of drilling to test the five priority targets on the project as agreed between West Cobar and Minrex.

  4. c. $150,000 upon mobilisation of a drilling rig to the project which is capable of performing the planned drilling activities.

  5. d. $150,000 upon completion of drilling.

  6. The parties have agreed a budget and program for the proposed exploration activities, which West Cobar will use best endeavours to complete as soon as reasonably practicable and within 4 months of the execution of the Agreement. Where the parties jointly agree (but are not obliged to) to expand the exploration activities at the project or continue exploration activities in the event of cost overruns due to events outside West Cobar's control, the parties will equally share the costs to complete such activities.

  7. During the option period, Minrex and West Cobar must deal exclusively with each other in relation to the sale of any right, title or interest in the project.

ASX Announcement ASX: WC1 ACN 649 994 669

  1. MinRex may terminate the Agreement if the Aboriginal heritage survey is not completed by 31 May 2025 or the survey does not provide the approvals required to carry out the planned drilling. West Cobar may terminate the Agreement if Minrex fails to make the required payments of the Option Fee in the prescribed timeframe and such non-payment is not remedied within 10 business days of a written demand from West Cobar to do so.

  2. Minrex may elect to withdraw from the option at any time during the option period, however (except where Minrex has terminated the agreement because the Aboriginal heritage survey has not been completed by 31 May 2025 or the survey does not provide the approvals required to carry out the planned drilling as contemplated above) such withdrawal does not limit Minrex's funding obligations under the agreement in respect to the Option Fee.

  3. The Agreement will automatically terminate if Minrex does not exercise the option during the option period.

  4. MinRex may exercise the option within 3 months of receiving assays from the last drilling completed on the project as part of the agreed exploration activities.

  5. Upon exercise of the option, the parties will form an unincorporated joint venture on customary terms, which will include standard pro-rata funding and dilution mechanisms, reciprocal pre-emptive rights, customary conditions, warranties, covenants and indemnities and automatic conversion of a party’s interest in the joint venture into a 0.5% NSR royalty where a party’s interest dilutes below 5%.

  6. The agreement otherwise contains representations, warranties and undertakings which are customary for an agreement of its nature.

RC Drill Targets

Five targets are proposed for drill testing to depths of 200m to 300m: Glenmorangie, Oban, Talisker, Benriach and Glendronach (Figure 1).

Target 1 - Talisker

Talisker lies within E63/2078 (Figure 1) in a complex zone of magnetic highs and lows typical of magnetite alteration and sits on a major East-West shear zone with northwest-southeast trending cross-cutting structures and dykes. The magnetic anomalies lie on a broad gravity high ridge with a circular gravity low of 400x400m diameter (Figure 2). The gravity low correlates strongly with a deeper Electro-Magnetic (EM) conductor from the historical SkyTEM survey. [2]

A number of other interpreted bedrock EM conductors are defined within the prospect area.

Target 2 – Glenmorangie Prospect

The Glenmorangie prospect is a bulls-eye magnetic high associated with likely iron enrichment visible in satellite imagery, probably due to alteration. The magnetic anomaly of ~600 x 800m lies on the margins of a larger circular feature, cut by a demagnetised NW-SE structure (Figure 4). The gravity is wide spaced but shows an elevated regional background. No Electro-Magnetic (EM) survey has been flown over this prospect.
