Quarterly Activities Report for the Period Ended 31 March 2017
27 April 2017
HIGHLIGHTS
-
The assay results for the 30 rock and 120 soil samples collected in December 2016 at MinRex’s Deflector Extended Gold Project are reported herein. The best gold results tend to cluster in areas of colluvium adjacent to meta-basalt outcrops.
-
A field program was completed at the Heemskirk Tin Project in February 2017. This program collected 58 rock samples from old mine workings in the Project area, plus a total of 68 soil samples and 7 stream sediment concentrate samples. This work was designed to follow up previous anomalous stream sediment results. The analyses for this work are yet to be received and will be reported in the June 2017 Quarterly Report.
-
At the end of March 2017 the Company had available cash of $1.276 million.
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 Mine, where opencut and underground mining and ore processing commenced in May 2016.

Deflector Extended Gold Project
MinRex’s Deflector Extended Gold Project (E59/1657) lies to the northeast of the Deflector Mine, 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. Both deposits trend towards MinRex’s tenement, where deep cover sequences have hindered previous exploration programs. The Deflector Mine was opened in May 2016, by Doray Minerals Limited (Doray), as an underground mining operation on copper-gold sulphide lodes. Doray announced an inaugural $4M Deflector area exploration programme in August 2016, to include heritage studies, deep drilling at the Deflector Mine, drilling at other mines and prospects in the area, regional aircore drilling and VTEM geophysics.
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. MinRex has been actively exploring the Project area since 2011, utilising surface sampling and geological mapping to hone in to buried mineralized structures and favourable settings for mineralization.

Figure 2: Plan showing the geology and recent (Dec 2016) rock sample results, in E59/1657
Six surface sampling programs have now been completed within the tenement area, utilizing surface grab samples of outcropping rocks, float and colluvium, chips within unconsolidated sediments, calcrete, ferricrete and sediment (Figure 2). A number of lines of close-spaced, surface soil sampling have also been completed, with samples generally at 50m spacing (Figure 3). The assay results from these lines have been analysed to allow interpretation of the position of underlying geological contacts and structures.

Figure 3: Plan showing the geology and recent (Dec 2016) soil sample results, in E59/1657
The December 2016 field sampling program at the Deflector Extended Gold Project collected a further 30 rock samples and 120 soil samples. The results from the newly collected samples are shown as larger coloured dots on Figure 2 (rock samples) and Figure 3 (soil samples) and in detail in Tables 1 and 2 at the rear of this report.
The new soil and rock samples confirm the anomalism previously identified to the north of the Golden Stream pit at about 441,000mE and 6,832,600mN, along with higher values returned on soil sample lines 442,000mE, 443,500mE and 443,700mE (Figure 3). 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 outcrop area.
The collection of further rock and soil samples during 2017 is planned to further pin point the most anomalous areas for subsequent drilling.
Heemskirk Tin Project
A large number of small, rich tin deposits were worked in the Heemskirk area of Tasmania from 1876-1880’s (Figure 4), with very little exploration or mining having been completed in the area in the subsequent period. MinRex has now held its Heemskirk Tin Project (EL18/2011) since 2012 and has been successful in identifying a number of the known old workings (e.g. Peripatetic, McGuiness, St Dizier, Fisher & Smith and Morrisby mines, etc.) and has completed a total of six field sampling programs.
==> picture [422 x 460] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 4: Plan showing some of the old workings in the Heemskirk Project Area
While known to be underlain by the Heemskirk Granite, the bulk of the area is covered with a thin veneer of quartz-rich organic soil and sand, probably mostly less than 1m thick, rendering exploration and prospecting for mineralisation difficult, stream valleys are infilled with deeper alluvial deposits and dense vegetation and the presence of a widely dispersed blanket of alluvial tin in the drainages of the area also compounds the exploration complexity (Figure 5).
MinRex Resources Limited (MinRex) is now completing detailed stream sediment 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 mediumgrade tin deposits. MinRex believes that while the Heemskirk field is relatively old, the work previously completed has not been systematic or thorough and that potential remains for new discoveries in the area.

Figure 5: Overview of terrain and quad bike for sample collection in EL18/2011, during 2017
A total of 122 of the 173 samples collected up to 2016 were stream sediment concentrate samples, collected from four prospective zones within the tenement. The rationale behind this sampling was that the results would delineate the most anomalous areas for more detailed sampling and exploration. The results from these stream sediment concentrate samples are presented below, with the assay results over 1% tin highlighted (Figure 6). The samples have been hand panned to concentrate heavy minerals and are therefore higher grade than the original in-situ stream sediments. 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.

Figure 6: Plan of the Panned-Concentrate Stream Sediment Assay Grades from Heemskirk
A follow up field program has now been completed, during February 2017, to collect further samples from the known old workings, along with soil samples in the anomalous zones to the east of the Peripatetic and north of the Carn Brea Mines; and a few new stream sediment concentrate samples, where further infill was required. This program collected a total of 58 rock samples, 68 soil samples and 7 stream sediment concentrate samples, for 133 samples in February 2017, and a grand total of 306 samples to date. The assays for the 2017 samples are yet to be received, while the sample locations are shown as white dots on the plan below (Figure 7).

Assay results from the February 2017 sampling will be available to report in the June 2017 Quarterly Report. It is planned that the next Heemskirk Tin Project field sampling program will commence later in 2017 to further follow up on anomalous results received from the current work.
