Anax Metals Restricted (ASX: ANX, Anax, or the Firm) is happy to supply an replace on drilling on the Evelyn deposit (Evelyn), a part of the Whim Creek Venture, situated 115km southwest of Port Hedland (Determine 1).
- Preliminary steady XRF scanning outcomes affirm high-grade copper-zinc intersections
- Diamond drilling now accomplished with visually-observed sulphide mineralisation intersected in all holes
- Samples submitted for laboratory evaluation with outcomes anticipated in September
- Evelyn regional exploration programme commenced aimed toward figuring out Evelyn- sort high-grade VMS base steel deposits
- Auger sampling and geophysics deliberate forward of RC-drilling of excessive precedence targets
Anax’s Managing Director, Geoff Laing commented: “These outcomes once more exhibit the high-grade nature of this VMS deposit, and we’re happy with the outcomes of this drilling marketing campaign. The crew will proceed to deal with leveraged progress outcomes at Whim Creek and we sit up for offering ongoing updates on the close to mine exploration together with our regional consolidation technique”
The Firm has acquired outcomes from steady XRF-scanning of the primary two holes, and these have confirmed the high-grade nature of the visible intersections. 1
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON CONTINUOUS XRF SCANNING RESULTS
Core was processed by way of the Minalyzer CS (Minalyzer) steady XRF scanning unit in Perth. Six trays of calibration core samples had been submitted with the brand new drilling, however no high-grade mineralisation was obtainable. The outcomes offered on this announcement are due to this fact thought of partially calibrated because the higher restrict of probably assays usually are not represented within the calibration core. The XRF outcomes which are topic of this report might be submitted for laboratory assay and a few variation from the outcomes offered herein must be anticipated. Additional details about Minalyzer is supplied on the finish of this announcement.
Determine 1: Location of the Whim Creek Venture and Evelyn Deposit
The very best visible intersection from the drilling programme beforehand reported1 is from Gap 24AED002A which encountered a strongly mineralised zone between 176.45 and 189.9m (Determine 2).1 Preliminary outcomes from Minalyzer steady XRF-scanner have confirmed the high-grade nature of the intersection (Desk 1).
As well as, Evelyn mineralisation sometimes incorporates vital gold and silver enrichment. Nevertheless, the continual XRF-scanner is unable to precisely quantify gold and silver grades, and these are due to this fact not reported. Laboratory analyses will embrace gold and silver assays, and outcomes for valuable metals might be reported as soon as acquired.

Determine 2: Large sulphide mineralisation in 24AED002A
Gap 24AED001 was designed to intersect the high-grade shoot under earlier drill gap, JER074, which intersected 13m @ 2.56% Cu, 4.98% Zn, 1.92 g/t Au and 41 g/t Ag.2 The outlet deviated in a southerly course from its deliberate intersection place and clipped the bottom of the shoot. Preliminary outcomes from steady XRF scanning are proven under in Desk 2. Laboratory analyses will embrace gold and silver assays, and outcomes might be reported as soon as acquired.
Desk 2: Important steady XRF-scanning outcomes for 24AED001
The ultimate two holes of the diamond drilling programme at Evelyn have now been accomplished. Each 22AED003 and 222AED004 encountered sulphide mineralisation within the anticipated positions, together with localised sections of sturdy copper and/or zinc mineralisation (Determine 3).
Determine 3: Sphalerite, galena and minor chalcopyrite in 24AED003
Cautionary Assertion: Sure data on this announcement might include references to visible outcomes. The Firm attracts consideration to the inherent uncertainty in reporting visible outcomes. Visible estimates of mineral abundance ought to by no means be thought of a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses the place concentrations or grades are the issue of principal financial curiosity. Visible estimates additionally doubtlessly present no data relating to impurities or deleterious bodily properties related to valuations.
Each 24AED003 and 24AED004 encountered sulphide mineralisation, however they didn’t intersect the mineralised horizon on the deliberate goal zones because of extreme swing to the south. The chance for down-plunge useful resource extensions stays (Determine 4), and the Firm anticipates that areas of potential useful resource progress might be examined in future with Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling. Abstract logs for 24AED003 and 004 are supplied under in Desk 3 and Desk 4.
Geotechnical logging of the primary two diamond holes have accomplished. Encouragingly, the hanging wall mafic unit through which the decline at Evelyn might be developed, seems very competent containing minimal fractures or foliation.
