JORC 2012 Inferred Gold Resource at Spring Gully Prospect
The Spring Gully prospect is located 1.7 km east of Wattle Flat Township and which lies on the Peel Road between Sofala (6km to the north) and Bathurst (35km to the SSW). The initial discovery was identified by regional drainage geochemistry. Although the mineralised zone outcrops were previous mined, the activity was limited to shallow prospecting pits and surface workings.
EL7423 covers a significant portion of exposed Ordovician Sofala Volcanics on the eastern side of the Hill End Trough. The mineralisation at the Spring Gully prospect is located where the Sofala Volcanics have been thrust over the Chesleigh Formation within a major hinge zone trending NW to SE direction. The Wiagdon thrust plane dips between 25[o] to the west (Refer to Figure 2).
An independent JORC 2012 Inferred Mineral Resource for Spring Gully Prospect, estimated by Odessa Resources Pty Ltd (Perth) during the quarter and completed in July 2021, has yielded 9.48Mt at 1.06 g/t Au containing 323,913 oz Gold.[2] The deposit has a strike length over 1.60km by 650m in width with mineralisation remaining open along strike and at depth. The Resource has been classified as a global Inferred based on historical drill results which require further supporting verification drilling and QAQC. The future infill drilling will support further increase in the resource classification.
Resource constraints were interpreted using a nominal 0.35 g/t Au lower cut off. Six separate stacked south-west dipping envelopes were created (Refer to Global Mineral Resource Estimates - Table 2 and 3D Image highlighting mineralised Lodes Figure 3). The Spring Gully global resource is reported above a cut off 0.70 g/t Au.

A potential “feeder zone” has been identified directly beneath the main gold mineralised lodes at an approximate depth of 250m. The priority target zone shows potential as the source of the gold bearing hydrothermal fluids depositing the gold mineralisation at Spring Gully.
JORC 2012 Inferred Gold Resource at Surface Hill Prospect
The Surface Hill prospect is located 3.5 km. NNE of Wattle Flat and has been a centre for small scale mining during the 19[th] and 20[th] century with a total of 11,250 ounces recorded production and several small pits and a small driven into the hill. Compass Resources continued this exploration with soil geochemistry and 28 shallow RC/DDH holes into the vein system.
The geologically mapped 20-sub vertical quartz-pyrite-arsenopyrite veins have a general strike of 160o (Figure 4). Surface chip and grab sampling combined with drilling indicates at this early stage, that 9 of these veins (Lodes 1 to 9, Figures 3 & 6) are mineralised. In northern end of the Surface Hill Prospect the vein system veers NNE as the system is intersected by a 065o trending fault zone, the system is offset 100 metres to the NE and continues into the Surface Ridge Prospect where intersections similar grades and widths in the northern continuation of the vein system.
An independent JORC 2012 Inferred Mineral Resource for Surface Hill Prospect, also estimated by Odessa Resources Pty Ltd (Perth) during the quarter and completed in July 2021, has yielded 808,012t at 1.09 g/t Au containing 28,300 oz Gold.[3] The Resource has been classified as a global Inferred based on historical drill results which require further supporting verification drilling and QAQC. The future infill drilling will support further increase in the resource classification. The Drillhole data comprised 27 angled drillholes completed in 1993 -1994 totalling 1,666m comprising 581 assay results.
Resource constraints were interpreted using a nominal 0.35 g/t Au lower cut off. Nine (9) separate stacked vertical north-west veins were interpreted (Refer to Global Mineral Resource Estimates - Table 3 and 3D Image highlighting mineralised Lodes Figure 5). The Surface Hill global resource is reported above a cut off 0.5 g/t Au.

Drilling Completed at Wiles Gold Prospect
The Wiles Gold Prospect is a recently discovered orogenic gold deposit on strike of the Big Oakey Fault between Whalans Hill ( 10m @ 1.63g/t Au ) and Caledonian ( 2m @ 8.11g/t Au ). The prospect was discovered in 2018 by joint-venture partner Wattle Resources Pty Ltd (Wattle).
A soil sampling campaign of the previously unexplored ground was conducted by Wattle producing exceptional results (soil samples returning 10.6g/t Au, 9.26g/t Au , 4.28g/t Au and 4.01g/t Au ) . This prospectivity was confirmed by shallow RC drilling in late 2020 with results returning 9m @ 2.43g/t Au from 17m (WFRC005) and 2m @ 2.97g/t Au from 6m (WFRC004)[4] .
In June 2021, the Company completed a total of 794m of drilling across 14 holes with all RC samples dispatched to Nagrom Laboratories in Perth. Drilling in all the drill holes intersected quartz veining and sulphide mineralisation (mainly pyrite) associated with moderate sericite alteration which are all the hallmarks of gold mineralisation within the Lachlan Fold Belt.[5] Assay results are due imminently.
Sofala Gold Project Geophysics
During the quarter, the Company progressed a detailed high-resolution magnetic/radiometric interpretation over the Sofala Gold Project with Core Geophysics, representing a major leap forward in the Company’s systematic targeting process in defining new discoveries over the Sofala Gold Project.
Although the area has a long history of exploration and mining the area is relatively underexplored at depth. Following completion of the magnetic/radiometric interpretation work in July 2021, a total of 9 target areas have been selected within the project tenements based on the combination of magnetic and radiometric responses.[6] These have been preferentially selected over areas along mineralised structures with an elevated potassium response which have considerable strike extent. These are summarised in Table 4 and Figure 6 Target Map.

The locations of surface and hard rock mines now allow us to understand the regional geophysical signatures associated with the gold mineralisation which were previously unknown. The highresolution magnetics clearly correlates defined trends and structures which appear to control the gold mineralisation. In addition, the historic working is closely correlating with potassium responses which reflect sericite and kaolinite alteration which is also known to be associated with gold mineralisation.
The Company is currently working on the importation over 4,000 historic surface geochemical along with previous drilling over the interpreted geophysics. Based on the results, the Company will be systematically targeting these areas on the ground. The results of the re-interpretation will be announced to the market upon receiving the final report from Core Geophysics.
Land Access Negotiations
During the quarter, MinRex progressed negotiations for land access arrangements with property owners of the Sofala Project’s Queenslander and Hill X Prospects. Access arrangements are being progressed to support further RC drilling at these Prospects in FY21/22.
Upcoming Exploration Activities
The Company’s upcoming exploration activities for the September quarter 2021 include:
-
Further geophysical targeting work over Spring Gully Gold Prospect;
-
Receipt of assay results from the Wiles Gold Prospect RC drilling programme;
-
JORC 2012 Resource reporting over the Wiles Gold Prospect and Mt Pleasant Gold Prospect;
-
Design and plan ground IP survey along the main zone of mineralisation at Surface Hill Gold Prospect to enable target drilling through potential delineation of blind quartz veins (resistivity targets) and sulphide zones (high chargeability targets); and
-
Drilling over the Queenslander and Spring Gully Gold Prospects in Q2 FY21/22, subject to COVID restrictions in NSW.
CORPORATE
Sunny Corner Farm-in Option
During the quarter, the Company progressed negotiations with Argent Minerals Limited (ASX:ARD) and the project owners in relation to MinRex’s farm-in option over the exploration area of EL5964. This tenement, with an area of 19 units (~54 km[2] ), forms part of the Sunny Corner Project together with EL9133, with an area of 54 units (~154 km[2] ), and EL9133, with an area of 12 units (~34 km[2] ) (see Figure 7 below). Subsequent to the quarter end, MinRex formally exercised its Sunny Corner farm-in option as part of its strategy to further expand the Company’s project portfolio.[7]
MinRex elected to exercise its option based on the significant exploration potential offered by known and undiscovered polymetallic mineralisation (including gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, and molybdenum). The Company is close to finalising formal farm-in and joint venture agreements with the project owners.
Should formal farm-in and joint venture agreements be signed, MinRex will have the right to earn a 90% interest in the exploration area of EL 5964 by spending $1.5 million on exploration expenditure within 3 years.
