QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES
Marathon Resources Limited (ASX: “MTN”) presents its Activities Report for the Quarter ending 30[th] June 2013.
Background
As previously advised, refining Marathon’s broad business direction has been a key focus of the Board and management and has included and continues to include identifying opportunities that match the Company’s intended business plans for the future.
Mineral exploration continues to be the core focus for Marathon, and in response to numerous requests from exploration companies, your Company has continued to investigate some exciting prospects within Australia and overseas. Therefore, it was pleasing for the Company to announce on 30 April 2013 that it had entered a Heads of Agreement with companies associated with mining entrepreneur and geologist, Mr David Clarke.
Under the Heads of Agreement signed with related entities of Mr Clarke, Marathon has been granted an exclusive option to acquire all of the issued capital in Clarke family company, Australian Desalinated Water Pty Ltd (“ADW”). ADW holds a portfolio of assets in South Australia and Victoria prospective for mineral sands and other minerals. The Heads of Agreement had been executed by the Company’s wholly-owned Bonanza Gold Pty Ltd subsidiary with three of the Clarke family companies.
Pursuant to the terms of the Heads of Agreement, the option to acquire ADW may be exercised at any time on or before 30[th] June 2017 (or a later date agreed between the parties), subject to Marathon having first completed a bankable feasibility study on the commercial development of mineralisation on any one of the target tenement areas. Marathon will have exclusive rights to explore and evaluate all of the tenements held by ADW pending exercise of the option and ADW will be free carried during that time. Marathon may withdraw from the Heads of Agreement at any time without earning an interest in the tenements or ADW.
It is a further requirement that Marathon position the projects in an entity that is either listed on the ASX or is listed within 120 days of exercise of the option, with the vendor of ADW to be issued with 22% of the post-listed issued capital of (at Marathon’s option) the owner or ultimate owner of the tenements. The issue of such shares will be subject to any shareholder approvals required and any ASX imposed escrow restrictions. The vendor will also retain a 1% gross overriding royalty on any minerals produced from the tenements.
Marathon’s initial exploration program focussed on mineral sands prospects in the Murray Basin region of South Australia and Victoria – already a significant producing area for many years.
Dr Shad Linley, Marathon’s Chief Executive Officer, said the company’s Board considered the portfolio of assets to be prospective and provided an excellent opportunity for Marathon to continue mineral exploration in South Australia.
“We have been encouraged by the extensive work carried out on these prospects to date by Mr Clarke who has previously been involved with several successful resources industry projects and ASX listings, including the former Stuart Petroleum (now part of Senex Energy) and Australian Zircon,” Dr Linley said.
“All of the tenements held by ADW contain ‘walk-up’ drill targets and we believe commercial assessment can be conducted in a cost-effective and expeditious manner after an immediate drilling program on each site.” he said.
“The exploration leases have been subject to magnetics, radiometrics and digital terrain modelling and some drilling has occurred on a mining lease. We see good prospects coming from Marathon’s planned program which will complement the existing knowledge of these promising areas.”
Drilling activity
Exploratory drilling has now been completed at “Alice Park” and “Pernatty Lagoon” and assay results are pending.
Those results, and progress on other drilling sites will be advised to the market as soon as further information is received.
