investors ( Placement ). Funds raised will be applied towards advancing the Monument Gold Project located in the Laverton-Leonora Goldfields, Western Australia, hosting an Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ) of 3.2Mt @ 1.4g/t Au for 154koz Au .
The Monument Gold Project, positioned in Western Australia's well-established Eastern Goldfields mining district, benefits from excellent infrastructure, including the sealed Leonorato-Laverton road, a gas pipeline, and a sealed airstrip at Laverton. The Project can also leverage existing nearby processing infrastructure, potentially reducing future capital expenditure and operational costs.

PLACEMENT
The Company has received firm commitments for a placement to sophisticated and professional investors to raise $307,500 (before costs) ( Placement ) at an issue price of $0.012 per share for the proposed issue of 25,625,000 ordinary fully paid shares ( Shares ) utilising the Company’s available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 (15%) and 7.1A (10%).

Shares and 49,687,500 Options on the same terms as the Placement, and will seek Shareholder approval at a general meeting to undertake this raising.
Funds raised from the capital raising will be utilised to advance the Monument Gold Project including infill and step out drill programs at the Korong and Waihi MRE, as well as for working capital requirements. Further details on the planned exploration are set out in this announcement below.
PIT STUDY
Cube Consulting Pty Ltd (“ Cube ”) of Perth, Western Australia undertook preliminary pit studies of the Korong and Waihi mineral deposits to assist with future planning works, which identified:
-
Current MREs remain open in all directions. Potential exists to drill test strike extensions peripheral to optimised pit shell boundaries at Korong and Waihi
-
The Cube study did not include investigative work on underground mining below 100m, however, high-grade mineralisation at Korong remains open down-plunge to the south and remains to be tested
-
Drill testing of high-quality Monument district targets along the Korong-Waihi corridor and surrounds that demonstrate shallow mineralised intercepts comparable to Korong and Waihi is warranted
ADVANCING MONUMENT TO NEXT STAGE
Following completion of the pit study, the Company has commenced a comprehensive review and validation process on historic drilling data previously completed by several companies including Carpentaria Exploration, Dominion, WMC Exploration and various other smaller operators since the 1970’s prior to its acquisition and further exploration completed by Syndicated Metals/DiscovEx in 2016.
Once the historic data review is complete, an analysis of the data will be completed to determine the level of validation and infill and/or twin drilling required.
Utilising the outcomes of these studies, the Company plans to imminently commence a drill program aiming to:
-
(a) Upgrade the 154koz MRE confidence level from Inferred to Indicated; and
-
(b) Step out drill at Korong to potentially expand the size of the MRE
Additional work programs are planned to commence over priority targets along 20km of untested potential targets along strike of the Korong and Waihi MREs during 2025.

About the Monument Gold Project
The Monument Gold Project is in WA’s world-class Laverton Gold District and comprises ~232km[2] of tenure located approximately 40km west of Laverton, adjacent and along strike of Genesis Minerals’ (ASX: GMD) 3.3Moz Au Mt Morgan Project . A Mineral Resource Estimate of 154koz of gold (see ASX announcement on 2 August 2021) was undertaken on the Korong and Waihi deposits, which occur along ~20km of relatively untested banded iron formation, interpreted to be the same unit that hosts the 1.4Moz Westralia gold deposit, located immediately southeast of Monument.
To date, only ~10% of the potential 20km strike has been drilled with detailed air core and reverse circulation drilling. There is currently additional priority targets identified along the banded iron formations horizon, that forms part of a 20km potential structural strike length identified that could also potentially host multiple other syenite-intrusion style targets (in total approximately 60 targets remaining to be tested).
