Quarterly Activities and Cash Flow Report for the Quarter Ended 31 March 2020
30 April 2020
HIGHLIGHTS
-
A field exploration program incorporating rock and soil sampling was completed at MinRex’s Deflector Extended Gold Project, with the final assay results for this work being received during April;
-
Excellent rock sampling results were returned with nine assays exceeding 1g/t Au and three exceeding 4g/t Au;
-
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 with generally low results, the highest result being 4ppb Au;
-
These assay results build on the encouraging results from previous exploration programs at the Deflector Extended Gold Project;
-
On 27 April 2020, MAGSPEC Airborne Surveys Pty Ltd commenced a detailed airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey over MinRex’s three large exploration licence areas in the East Pilbara;
-
Following on from encouraging exploration results from MinRex’s four East Pilbara Project areas, further work programs have been planned and are due to commence as soon as weather conditions in the Region permit; and
-
As at 31 March 2020 the Company had available cash of $0.653 million.
About MinRex
MinRex Resources Limited ( ASX:MRR ) (“ MinRex ” or “ the Company ”) is an exploration company, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, with its present focus being the exploration of gold and base metal projects in Western Australia. During the March 2020 Quarter, exploration including rock and soil sampling was completed at the Deflector Extended Gold Project, at Gullewa, with the results being received during April 2020. Subsequent to Quarter end, the Company also began its 2020 field season in the East Pilbara on 27 April 2020, with the commencement of a detailed airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey program at the Daltons and Bamboo Creek Project areas, in proximity to Marble Bar.
MinRex currently holds five projects, four in the East Pilbara Region of WA, which are 70% owned and comprise of the Bamboo Creek Gold Project, the Marble Bar North Gold Project, the Marble Bar South Gold Project and the Daltons Gold Project; as well as the Deflector Extended Gold Project at Gullewa in Western Australia, which is 100% owned (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Location of MinRex Project Areas
Deflector Extended Gold Project
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.
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.
New Deflector Extended exploration program results
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. 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 was designed to extend the soil sample coverage by completing three, 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 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 were 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 highgrade. 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. Figure 3 shows the gold results for the 144 new rock samples, the assays over 1g/t Au (1,000ppb) are labelled.

MinRex Resources Limited – Quarterly Activities and Cash Flow Report for the Quarter ended 31 March 2020
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.
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. 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 metasediment rock types. Samples on the three lines, either 1.8km or 2.8km long, were low, thought to be largely due to the deep colluvial and alluvial 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

MinRex Resources Limited – Quarterly Activities and Cash Flow Report for the Quarter ended 31 March 2020
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.
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).
==> picture [440 x 360] intentionally omitted <==
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.

MinRex Resources Limited – Quarterly Activities and Cash Flow Report for the Quarter ended 31 March 2020
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.
East Pilbara Gold Projects
In the past two years, MinRex has completed six field exploration programs on its East Pilbara mineral licences, in proximity to Marble Bar. These programs initially aimed to follow up on already defined anomalous zones and targets within the four exploration project areas. All of which returned very encouraging results from detailed rock sampling and geological mapping to better understand the gold and base metals prospects identified and continue the search for as yet undiscovered mineralised systems.
From December 2017 through October 2019, a total of 840 rock samples were collected from MinRex’s four East Pilbara Project areas, with many of the assays being highly anomalous for gold, copper, silver, nickel, chrome and zinc. The projects were also historically researched, old workings and prospects identified and extensive reconnaissance work completed, including air photo interpretation, metal detecting, photography and geological mapping.
East Pilbara Airborne Geophysics Program
MinRex is now in the next phase of its systematic exploration of its East Pilbara areas, with the commencement of a detailed airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey over the Daltons Gold Project and the two Bamboo Creek Gold Project exploration licences (Figure 6). This detailed geophysical survey commenced on the 27 April 2020, at the Bamboo Creek Project, and will comprise over 2,500km of flying at a sensor height of 30m and 50m line spacing (Figure 7). This work will be completed during May 2020 and will be followed by target generation and interpretation work, based on the airborne geophysics, which will be used to guide future field exploration sampling and mapping programs.

MinRex is also preparing for an active field season of exploration programs at its East Pilbara Gold Project areas, following the conclusion of the annual wet season. In 2020, the next phase of field work in the East Pilbara will include further exploration work on all four of MinRex’s project areas around Marble Bar. Quotes have also been received for completing close spaced ground surveys at the two smaller Marble Bar licences, which could result in geophysical programs covering all five of MinRex’s East Pilbara mineral licences. These detailed airborne and surface geophysical programs will generate exploration targets and delineate more prospective terrains that may be present within the mineral licences.

Figure 7: Flight line density for the Daltons (left) and Bamboo Creek (right) Project Areas
Further rock sampling, soil sampling in colluvium and soil covered areas and detailed geological mapping will be used to better understand these complex gold, base metal and poly-metallic mineralised systems at the Daltons, Marble Bar and Bamboo Creek Gold Project areas. This 2020 field work will collect numerous rock and soil samples, and include air photo analysis and geological mapping, along with the geophysics programs. This work will aim to build on the results received from the previous six exploration programs that MinRex has completed in the area. It is planned to commence this work as soon as possible after the current summer hot and wet season in the East Pilbara.

Answer: Yes, on 12 February 2020, the Company announced Non-Renounceable Entitlement Rights Issue Offer of 1 new Share for every 1 Share held to raise up to $958,777 (before costs). The Offer closed on 24 April 2020 with Company announcing the results of the Offer on 29 April 2020, which were impacted by the sudden and unforeseen COVID-19 pandemic. The Company also raised a total of $1m via unsecured loan notes during December 2019 and March 2020 quarters with Shareholders approving the conversion of unsecured loan notes at General Meeting held on 11 March 2020. The conversion of loan notes occurred during the current quarter, supporting the Company to preserve the cash reserves.
- Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business objectives and, if so, on what basis?
Answer: Yes, per reasons noted above, and in addition the Directors believe that once the Company expects to place the Shortfall with the assistance from Company’s Lead Manager relating to its Entitlements Rights Issue Offer raising the full $958,777 (before costs), the sufficient funding will progress the Company to continue its operations. The Company’s primary focus is to advance exploration works on its existing projects and evaluation of additional acquisition opportunities.
