IP Anomalies at Mt Maitland – Drilling to Commence in late April/early May

  • Geophysical IP survey has identified priority targets at Mt Maitland South and Jacia.

  • IP Survey doubled in size due to highly encouraging early results.

  • Jacia trend interpreted to be prospective for VMS-style base metal mineralisation.

Diamond drilling of priority targets fast tracked to commence during late April/early May 2021.

Red Mountain Mining Limited ( RMX, the Company ) (ASX: RMX ) is pleased to report the results of the recently completed IP geophysical survey at its 100% owned Mt Maitland Gold and Base Metal Project in the Murchison Region of Western Australia. The survey identified two priority targets situated below the depth of current exploration drilling. Having adopted a systematical approach to the initial stages of exploration, subsequent stages can now be accelerated with increased levels of confidence having now identified two robust drill targets known to be associated with precious and base metal mineralization.

Figure 2 - DDIP Inverted Chargeability Section (Line 4) – Chargeability Anomalies with Proposed Drilling

A DDIP (Di-pole-Di-Pole Induced Polarisation) geophysical survey was recently completed by Zonge Engineering and Research Organization (Australia) Pty. Ltd, (Zonge), and managed by Perth based geophysical consultants, Resource Potentials Pty Ltd.

The survey initially consisted of three 1.6km long E-W orientated survey lines, spaced 400m apart and centered over the Jacia and Mt Maitland South Prospects. Receivers were spaced at 100m along the survey lines.

As preliminary results were highly encouraging from the initial three survey lines, a further two infill lines were completed to constrain the chargeable - anomalous zones. The completed survey comprised of five 1.6km long E-W orientated surveys lines, spaced 200m apart.

Final data processing and inversion modelling of each survey line has now been completed revealing two significant anomalous zones of elevated chargeability. These are located at depth and trend along the Jacia and Maitland South Mineralised Zones (see Figures 2 - 6).

Jacia Prospect– Precious and Base Metals

The Jacia Prospect is interpreted to be prospective for Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) style precious and base metal mineralization, (Au-Cu-Zn-Ag). The prospect is located on the western margin of the ‘Maitland Greenstone Belt’. Mineralisation associated with veining is observed within a broad package of sheared basalts and sediments on the granite-greenstone belt contact. The Maitland Greenstone Belt is located adjacent to the Proterozoic aged Bryah Basin and known to host numerous precious and base metal deposits including DeGrussa and Monty (Sandfire Resources Ltd.), Horseshoe Lights (Horseshoe Metals Ltd.) and Forrest (Auris Minerals Ltd.).

Observed mineralized veining at Jacia is interpreted as a distal/stock work feature of a VHMS system or potential remobilization of mineralisation along local structures. The IP survey identified a coherent changeable anomaly towards the northern end of the Jacia trend on line 4. The centre of the chargeability anomaly is located approximately 250m below the land surface.

The IP anomaly is coincident to an area of structural interest and potential hydrothermal activity interpreted by RMX in airborne magnetic imagery (Figure 4). This area of coincident magnetic and IP anomalism is also host to an historical gold and copper working. Malachite mineralization, along with shear hosted quartz veining were observed within the historic workings. Rock chip samples were taken from the workings and along the Jacia Trend, retuning encouraging values of up to 1.94g/t Au, 7.4% Cu, 0.96% Zn and 58.6 g/t Ag ( see announcement dated 19[th] August 2020 – ‘Mt Maitland Drill Program’ ).

It is thought the source of the chargeability anomaly may be related to disseminated sulphide mineralisation at depth and is considered by RMX to be prospective for precious and base metals.

The Jacia IP anomaly is set to be tested with a single diamond drill hole approximately 370m deep. Drilling is expected to commence toward the end of April/early May.

Maitland South – Gold

The Maitland South Prospect is a +500m long gold mineralized shear zone characterized by extensive historical workings and shafts. Previous drilling and geochemical work has previously been completed by RMX and previous explorers, identifying multiple mineralized intersections throughout the zone.

Previous drilling suggests gold mineralisation to be in association with sulphidic quartz veining hosted within a mafic shear zone. The IP Survey identified a moderate to high amplitude chargeability anomaly on survey line 4. This anomaly is located directly beneath the ‘Maitland South Mineralized Shear Zone’ containing key drill intercepts (previously announced 13[th] January 2021):

  • MMC001 – 7m @ @ 3.3g/t Au from 34m inc. 1m @ 12.7g/t from 37m

  • MMC002 – 8m @ 1.7g/t Au from 107m inc. 1m @ 4.8g/t from 107m and 1m @ 7.1g/t from 110m

  • MUDC008 13m @ 2.53g/t from 9m inc. 6m @ 6.6g/t from 13m

  • MTC003 - 14m @ 1.52g/t from 64m inc. 4m @ 3.8g/t from 67m

The IP anomaly is interpreted to consist of disseminated sulphide mineralization significantly higher in concentration than previously encountered in zones located along the mineralized shear. This increased accumulation of sulphide mineralisation could be associated with a dilatational zone within the mineralized structure leading to an increased sulphide thickness and/or content resulting in the chargeability anomaly.

A single 420m long diamond drill hole is proposed at the Maitland South IP anomaly, designed to test both the IP chargeability anomaly as well as help define the depth extension of the Maitland South mineralized structure. Drilling at Maitland South will follow the completion of planned drilling at Jacia.

Exploration done by
other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.
The Mt Maitland Project area has an extensive exploration
history dating back late 1800’s when Maitland North and
Maitland South were mined intermittently from 1897.
Modern gold exploration over the project has been
conducted by several companies with Talisman Mining
Ltd being the most recent.
The general area that forms the subject of this report has
been explored in the past by various companies including
Pancontinental Mining, Coolgardie Resources, Metex
Resources and Talisman Mining Ltd during the period
1987-2011.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The Project covers the Mt Maitland Greenstone Belt at the
northern margin of the Yilgarn Craton. The Mt Maitland
Project is situated at a major geological plate tectonic
boundary reflecting the collision between the separate
Pilbara and Yilgarn Cratons. It is bounded by major
regional structural faults – to the north by the Murchison
Fault, to the west by the Yalgar Fault and to the south by
the Mt Maitland Fault. The Murchison Fault separates the
Proterozoic southern Capricorn Orogen from the
Archaean northern Yilgarn Craton. The Yalgar Fault
separates the older Narryer Terrane from the Murchison
Domain.
The Mt Maitland Greenstone Belt extends over roughly
23x4km and is represented by the Maitland synformal
structure which is the northern most greenstone belt I the
Yilgarn Craton.
The Mt Maitland Greenstone Belt is an arcuate 3km
succession of interlayered mafic-ultramafic igneous
intrusives and volcanics, and felsic volcanic rocks with
several intercalated sedimentary rocks and BIF’s. The
sequence has been folded and regionally metamorphosed
to upper greenschist/mid amphibolite grade. Extensive
Proterozoic dolerite dykes cross-cut the project area
related to massive gabbroic intrusive bodies.
A regional splay structure off the mantle tapping
Murchison Fault traverse the entire length of the
tenement.
Pervasive quartz veins occur along the splay structure
Orogenic gold mineralisation in the area is associated with
quartz veining +/- sulphides and enveloping hydrothermal
mineralisation haloes within sheared mafic-ultramafic
igneous intrusives and volcanics, and sedimentary rocks
(including BIF) and felsic volcanic rocks.
E51/1900 covers almost the entirety of the Mt Maitland
Greenstone Belt.
The central half of the tenement comprises outcrop and
sub-cropping basement with alluvial and colluvial cover in
the northern and southern parts.

Person should clearly explain why this is the
case.
Data aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging
techniques,
maximum
and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths
of low-grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be shown
in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
NA
Relationship between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths

These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect
to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should
be reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement
to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width
not known’).
NA
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.
Refer to figures within this report.
Balanced reporting
Where
comprehensive
reporting
of
all
Exploration
Results
is
not
practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid
misleading
reporting
