Quarterly Activities Report for the Period Ended 30 June 2016

26 July 2016

HIGHLIGHTS

  • In June, the Company successfully completed a Private Placement to raise $165,375 (before costs) to continue exploration work on its mineral properties, due diligence on new corporate opportunities and working capital. At the end of June 2016 the Company had available cash of $0.852 million.

  • Encouraging assay results have been received from the 90 rock samples and 131 soil samples collected at MinRex’s Deflector Extended Gold Project in April 2016. These results enhance the prospectivity of this tenement, which lies along strike from Doray Minerals Limited’s newly commissioned Deflector Gold Project.

  • A further 43 panned-concentrate, stream sediment samples and 28 rock samples were collected at the Heemskirk Tin Project, in April and May 2016. These samples have now been submitted for analytical work.

  • Following the end of the quarter, the Company raised a further $950,906 (before costs) as part of a Non Renounceable Rights Issue that was well supported by shareholders.

About MinRex

MinRex Resources Limited (“MinRex”) is an exploration company, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, with its present focus being the exploration of gold, base metal and tin projects in Western Australia and Tasmania. The Company is also actively evaluating other exploration and corporate opportunities.

MinRex currently holds two projects, the Deflector Extended Gold Project at Gullewa in Western Australia (about 400km north of Perth) and the Heemskirk Tin Project on the west coast of Tasmania (Figure 1). Significantly, MinRex’s Deflector Extended Gold Project is along strike from Doray Minerals Limited’s Deflector Gold Project, where open-cut and underground mining and ore processing has recently commenced.

Deflector Extended Gold Project

MinRex’s Deflector Extended Gold Project (E59/1657) lies to the northeast of the Deflector mine (Figure 2), where copper-gold mineralisation occurs in shear zones in meta-basalt, and also the Golden Stream open cut, which has been mined for gold in shear zone-hosted quartz veins in meta-basalt. The Deflector Mine has recently been re-opened as an underground mining operation on extensions to the copper-gold sulphide lodes. Both deposits trend towards MinRex’s tenement, where deep cover sequences have hindered previous exploration programs.

Figure 2: Geology of E59/1657 showing Deflector Mine and Golden Stream pit

The area of E59/1657 consists of about 15% outcrop of mafic meta-basalts in the Cagacaroon Hills area, and about 85% Quaternary cover sediments (plus one or two small areas of Tertiary laterite). MinRex has been exploring the tenement (E59/1657) since 2011. This exploration has sought to use surface sampling and geology to hone in to buried mineralized structures and favourable settings for mineralisation.

While there is clearly potential for buried gold mineralisation in extensions to either of the two gold mineralisation types in the area, the pattern drilling and sampling completed in the past have not adequately tested the tenement. There is remaining prospectivity for gold in structures or along lithological contacts, under the cover sequences in the tenement, and MinRex has continued its exploration programs in E59/1657 in the June 2016 Quarter.

The geomorphology of the Deflector Extended area indicates that the area has been more deeply eroded in the past and then infilled with Quaternary sediments, up to 30m deep in places. The ephemeral Salt River flows through the south eastern corner of the tenement

and this has undoubtedly been a major river system in the past. A drying climate has resulted in the river system being choked with alluvial sediments and the floodplain areas being infilled with valley-fill alluvium and colluvium. Colluvial scree deposits surround the outcropping Cagacaroon Hills meta-basalt, and loose wind-blown sand is also common, overlying these other deposits, principally in the west and north.

Figure 3: Plan showing the geology and MinRex rock sampling results, in E59/1657

The large areas of fluvial and valley-fill sediments have now been fixed for a long period, demonstrated by the formation within them of near-surface, calcrete-cemented horizons. These calcrete horizons are thought to have formed through the vertical and horizontal movement of solutions and soluble elements within the sedimentary sequence. MinRex is now using detailed surface soil and auger drill sampling in an attempt to delineate deeper buried structures in the underlying bedrock through the detection of low-level geochemical haloes above the structures. Once clear geochemical targets are defined then these will be drilled to test for mineralisation in the structures.

Four surface sampling programs have now been completed by MinRex, within the tenement area, utilizing surface grab samples of outcropping rocks, float and colluvium, chips within unconsolidated sediments, calcrete, ferricrete and sediment (Figure 3). A number of lines of close-spaced, surface soil sampling lines have also been completed, with samples at 50m spacing (Figure 4). The assay results from these lines have been analysed to allow interpretation of the position of underlying geological contacts and structures (Figure 5). All of this work has been designed with geological input and completed under close geological supervision, and with regard to past work and available geological and geophysical databases.

Figure 4: Plan showing the geology and MinRex soil sampling results, in E59/1657

The graphs below (Figure 5) show assay results from a 1.5km line (6832600N) of surface soil sampling, at 50m spacing, across an area of sandplain, overlying deeper valley-fill cover.

While the values are low, the graphs demonstrate that gold rises sharply over a 100m interval, indicating the probable location of the buried Golden Stream structure; lead and arsenic also rise, but over a wider interval. MinRex plans to complete detailed soil sampling over many more lines to confirm the location of major structures. Infill of the sampling to less than 50m is also planned in prospective areas.

These results are seen as encouraging, as they demonstrate a concurrence of the highest elemental values, geological contacts and fault zones, all within buried structures, and along strike from, the Golden Stream and Deflector Gold Mines.

Figure 5: Graphs showing elemental values along soil sampling line 6832600N, in E59/1657 (Gold in ppb, other elements in ppm)

The aim is to use surface sampling, primarily close-spaced soil sampling, within geomorphologically defined domains, in conjunction with geological traverses, examination of float rocks, drainage sediments and other geological factors, in combination with the available geophysical and geological data, to vector in towards potential mineralisation.

MinRex proposes to continue with its mineral exploration programs at the Deflector Extended Project, with the initial aim being to infill the detailed soil sampling lines (with multi-element low-level assays) to at least 500m spacing over the deeply covered areas of the tenement. Further infill, to 250m spacing, will also be completed over the areas already indicated as potential extensions to the known mineralized structures. Depending upon the results from that work further infill will then probably be required to hone in onto precise locations for any gold mineralised structures.

The full sample and assay results for the 90 rock samples collected at the Deflector Extended Project in April 2016 is included below as Table 1. While the full sample and assay results for the 131 soil samples collected in April 2016 is included below as Table 2.

Heemskirk Tin Project

Over the past one hundred and forty years a number of small, rich tin deposits have been worked in the Heemskirk area of Tasmania, with most of this mining and prospecting having been completed prior to 1900. MinRex has now held this area since April 2012 and has been successful in identifying a number of the known old workings (Peripatetic, McGuiness, St Dizier, Fisher & Smith, Morrisby, etc.) and has collected a total of 173 samples from four prospective zones (Areas A-D) within the tenement for analysis for multiple elements, including tin and tungsten.

The April 2015 field program collected 49 stream sediment samples from Areas B and C; in addition to the 30 samples collected in Area A in 2012. When analysed using a totalfusion laser-ablation method, 11 of the total 79 samples from Areas A, B and C, had values over 1% tin and another 11 had values between 0.5 and 1% tin, for a total of 22 (or 28%) of the samples being over 0.5% tin (Figure 6).

Figure 6: Plan of the Panned-Concentrate Assay Grades from Stream Sampling at Heemskirk

In April-May 2016, a new field sampling program has been completed over the remaining Area D and also infill sampling in the Area B zone. Stream sediment sampling in Area D collected 25 samples, while infill sampling in Area B collected 18 stream sediment samples. A total of 28 rock samples were also collected during the 17 days of field work and sampling. The 71 samples were then packaged and dispatched to Perth for examination and geological logging before being submitted to the Bureau Veritas Laboratory in Perth. The analytical results are still outstanding but some of both the stream sediment and rock samples can be seen to contain tin minerals.

The samples are panned concentrate samples and therefore, when received, the assays will be higher grade than the actual in-situ stream sediments; nonetheless, it is thought that the higher grade samples will be directly relatable to the bedrock areas of the tenement with the highest distribution of tin-minerals.
