MONT ROYAL RESOURCES
Maiden Drill Program Completed and Yule River Project Update
Highlights
-
74 aircore holes completed at the Edjudina Project, WA
-
Drilling intersects strong shearing and stringer quartz veining coincident with the location of the Pinjin Fault
-
Yule River project update
Mont Royal Resources Limited (“ Mont Royal ” or the “ Company ”) ( ASX:MRZ ) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the Company’s maiden drill program at the Edjudina Gold Project in Western Australia.
Mont Royal Resources Limited’s Executive Director Peter Ruse commented:
“All high-priority targets identified from the sub-audio magnetics survey have been tested, with the highly prospective Pinjin Fault being the focus of the drilling to date. The Mont Royal Board looks forward to receiving the first-pass assay results and updating the market accordingly.”
EDJUDINA PROJECT
Aircore Drilling Program – Phase 1
Following the completion of the geophysical survey in July this year, 6 high-priority targets were identified for further investigation, to be tested by a first-pass aircore (“ AC ”) program. Ranking of these targets was based on proximity to the Pinjin Fault Corridor, intersection of interpreted structures with geological contacts, and zones of broad de-magnetisation within the host lithology.
Executive Director
Michael O’Keeffe
A total of 74 AC holes for 4,168m was completed with intersected geology consisting of felsic volcaniclastics (± chlorite ± sericite ± pyrite), chlorite schist, shale (± pyrite) and ultramafic (± talc ± chlorite). All lithologies had associated quartz veining throughout, however a greater intensity of veining was observed proximal to the interpreted position of the Pinjin Fault.
Completed metres was less than the planned metreage due to difficult ground conditions effecting penetration rates. The poor daily metreage rates were largely a result of cemented ferruginous layers and indurated gravel horizons within the transported overburden. The resistant layers, often separated by water laden clays resulted in the drilling method alternating between AC hammer and AC blade resulting in both lost time and increased costs per metre.
All composite samples have been received at the laboratory in Perth with initial results to be returned in the coming weeks.

Aircore Drilling Program – Phase 2
Following the return of all Phase 1 assay results, a complete review of both assay and geological data will be completed to refine the local and regional geological and structural models. Multi-element geochemistry will also be used to better understand the alteration and fluid pathway systems and how they interact with geological and structural complexities. Results will be used to plan Phase 2 drilling.

Edjudina Geology
The geology of the Edjudina Project consists of supracrustal sequences, comprising metamorphosed sedimentary and volcanic rocks in greenstone belts of lower greenschist to mid-upper amphibolite facies adjacent to regional granitoid and migmatitic gneisses. The area is almost entirely covered by transported material consisting of colluvium, subordinate laterite, alluvium, dunes and playas lake clays. The greenstone and granitoids are dominated by north–north westerly trending folds, and parallel fault zones that commonly mark apparent truncations of the lithostatigraphy.

Yule River Project
After conducting thorough due diligence on the Yule River project in Western Australia, the Mont Royal board has decided to relinquish the option to acquire the project from Centrepeak Resources Group (CRG). Mont Royal maintains an excellent working relationship with CRG via the ongoing exploration program of the 100% owned Edjudina Gold Project in Western Australia.
The Company will reallocate funds that were going to be used for the Yule River project as set out in its Prospectus dated 5 March 2019 for working capital and potential future acquisition costs (including costs required for the identification of new projects and acquisitions).
ENDS.
For and on Behalf of the Board
