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.

| Sampling techniques | • Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.

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. |
