NORTH MT ISA JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT
Renegade Exploration Limited ( ASX:RNX ) (the Company or Renegade ) is pleased to advise it has entered into a joint venture transaction with Burke Copper Pty Ltd ( Burke, Burke Copper ). Burke’s North Isa Project adjoins the Mt Isa – George Fisher complex in North West Queensland.
Renegade has entered into an agreement whereby it can earn up to 75% of the North Isa Project which is located directly north of the George Fisher mine and approximately 40km north of Mt Isa township and will control approximately 20km of the Western Fault. The Western Fault and associated faults host the historic Lady Agnes mine. The project straddles the thrust faulted Eastern Creek Volcanics (ECV) and Mt Isa Group sediment boundary with several existing copper mineral occurrences including the Lady Agnes copper mine which is located within an embayment along the faulted ECV/Mt Isa Group contact.
ISSUED CAPITAL
Historic exploration has been sporadic and disjointed with the faulted contact only recently coming under the control of one party, Burke Copper. This will enable a consistent and rigorous exploration program to assess and test the faulted ECV/Mt Isa Group contact and other associated structures of interest.
