Victory Nickel Challenge – Mongolia
The Firm has now formalized its 80% possession curiosity within the Victory Nickel Challenge additional to the announcement on February 1, 2022, whereby the Firm which units out the phrases for an exploration three way partnership (the “Joint Enterprise“) with Lithium ION Vitality Ltd (“Lithium ION“). The Joint Enterprise association consisted of the Firm and Lithium ION granting each other reciprocal exploration rights on their respective exploration licenses inside Mongolia. Lithium ION and Aranjin granted one another a reciprocal proper to discover each other’s properties, with Aranjin incomes an 80% curiosity and Lithium ION incomes a 20% curiosity in all base metallic tasks found on ION’s properties, and Lithium ION incomes an 80% curiosity and Aranjin incomes a 20% curiosity in all lithium tasks found on Aranjin’s properties, topic to current royalties.
Following exploration work by each events in 2022 and 2023, the events agreed to formally separate their possession of the Baavhai Uul mission beforehand wholly owned by Lithium ION to largely mirror the enterprise association set out within the Joint Enterprise Settlement. The break up of the Baavhai Uul license is pending approval by the Mineral Useful resource and Petroleum Authority of Mongolia. Underneath the Joint Enterprise, Aranjin will personal 80% of the Victory Nickel mission and relinquish rights to the rest of the license comprising the Baavhai Uul mission. Lithium ION will retain a 20% free carried curiosity within the Victory Nickel Challenge till business manufacturing in addition to retain all lithium rights to the Victory Nickel Challenge.
The Firm has appointed a number one nickel specialist consulting agency in Australia, NEWEXCO, to help in reviewing the work accomplished thus far on the Victory nickel mission and to plan ongoing work packages together with further electromagnetic geophysical packages and concentrating on of drill holes. An auger drilling will shortly begin with the intention of finishing geochemical protection throughout the Victory intrusive which hosts the recognized nickel copper geochemical anomaly.
Extra comply with up of over 20 further nickel and copper targets has additionally been accomplished throughout the Victory license. Rock chip samples have been collected and despatched for evaluation. Extra auger geochemical drilling throughout these anomalies is presently being deliberate and can begin on completion of the drilling program on the primary Victory discovery anomaly.
Australian Copper Challenge Transaction
The Firm has entered into three separate Tenements Pursuits Buy and Joint Enterprise Agreements (the “Tenement Agreements”), dated October 5, 2023, with Metals of Australia Pty Ltd. (“MoA”) and likewise with Western Wooden Capital Pty Ltd. (“WWC”), whereby the Company will purchase an 80% curiosity in twelve exploration licences (the “Australian Initiatives”) and enter into unincorporated joint ventures with MoA and WWC to discover the Australian Initiatives, topic to the phrases and situations of the Tenement Agreements (the “Australian Transaction”).
Upon switch of the tenements curiosity to the Company beneath the Tenement Agreements, the Company will challenge an mixture of 40,000,000 frequent shares of the Firm to MoA and 15,000,000 frequent shares to WWC, or to a nominee as directed by MoA and WWC, at a deemed challenge value of C$0.02 per frequent share (the “Consideration Shares”), and grant to MoA a 4% web smelter returns royalty within the Bangemall and Gawler tasks and to WWC a 3% web smelter returns royalty within the Western Wooden mission.
A full evaluation of current technical information has commenced with drilling and geophysical packages presently being deliberate with the intention of commencing exploration packages in early 2024.
Abstract of Australian Belongings
Bangemall Challenge – Western Australia
The Bangemall Challenge is positioned 800km north of Perth within the Gascoyne area of Western Australia and consists of 5 granted exploration licenses. The Bangemall Challenge covers Proterozoic rocks of the Capricorn Orogen, a belt of Archean to Proterozoic rocks, 1,000km broad and 500km lengthy, between the Pilbara and Yilgarn Cratons. The tenements are underlain by sedimentary rocks of the Edmund and Collier Basins, the youngest sediments of the Capricorn Orogen, which host the Abra lead-silver deposit, Western Australia’s largest sediment hosted base metallic deposit.
MoA is concentrating on VMS model mineralisation inside its tenements, every of which comprises targets outlined by earlier exploration by BHP Group Restricted (“BHP”), which held a lot of the basin within the Nineteen Nineties. The Bangemall tenements are in a potential geological and mineralisation setting. Every particular person tenement encompasses a goal outlined by historic exploration work by BHP within the Nineteen Nineties, which targets stay untested by BHP following a sudden withdrawal from the area and give up of all tenure and these targets stay to be drill examined.
Work packages to judge these targets would come with drill testing with at the very least one drill gap on every goal, with some anomalies requiring additional refinement previous to drilling by making use of a mix of floor magnetics and glued loop electromagnetics.
Gawler Challenge – South Australia
The Gawler Challenge consists of three exploration licences in South Australia, throughout the Precambrian Gawler Craton which hosts main base metallic deposits at Olympic Dam, Distinguished Hill, and Carrapateena.
Two exploration licences are positioned within the Campoona space of the Eyre Peninsula, roughly 250km NW of Adelaide, inside a sequence of sedimentary and meta-igneous rocks. Geological mapping of the Gawler Challenge space has been undertaken by the SA Geological Survey which supplies a helpful base map. Basement formations which outcrop within the tenement space embody the Mesoproterozoic Blue Vary Beds, the Palaeoproterozoic Peter Pan Supersuite, Yadnarie Schist, Warrow Quartzite, Prepare dinner Hole Schist, Decrease Middleback Jaspilite and Higher Middleback Jaspilite. Roughly 70% of the tenement space has a skinny cowl of Holocene sands and Pleistocene sands, silts, clays and gravels. Historic geochemistry and drilling accomplished by Rio Tinto Group and BHP recognized quite a few base metallic anomalisms throughout the Gawler Challenge which can be interpreted to be extremely important for the Gawler Craton. A excessive precedence gravity goal positioned on a NNE trending construction has been recognized and stays to be examined by drilling. Close by drill holes present important base metallic anomalism. It seems subsequent explorers haven’t examined this anomaly, and an in depth compilation examine is in progress to substantiate.
The third Exploration Licence is positioned within the Mabel Creek space roughly 80km NW of Coober Pedy and 850km NNW of Adelaide. Basement geology includes the Palaeoproterozoic Coober Pedy Ridge, an ENE trending magnetic block of variable magnetic depth separating the Mount Woods Inlier to the south-east from the Mabel Creek Inlier to the north. Earlier exploration has proven that the realm is roofed by sedimentary sequences starting from 40 to 100m deep. The Gawler Challenge space has solely skilled modest ranges of prior exploration, but is ideally located within the northern extent of the Olympic Dam Cu-Au province, with untested geophysical anomalies already outlined and ripe for drilling. The broader space during which EL6764 is positioned was just lately recognized by the winner and runner-up of the SA Authorities “Gawler Problem” as one of many key potential areas underexplored for iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation. It was additionally recognized as potential for gold mineralisation of the Challenger Gold deposit model.
In 2012 AngloGold Ashanti Restricted coated the realm with detailed aeromagnetics figuring out 4 excessive precedence targets. They undertook important floor exploration on one of many outlined targets, the Coronation Bore Prospect, together with floor gravity, floor magnetics, and 1,740m of diamond drilling. Three remaining untested gravity/magnetic anomalies on Mable Creek stay potential for IOCG mineralisation.
Western Wooden Challenge – New South Wales
The Western Wooden Challenge consists of 4 granted exploration licences within the state of New South Wales with two being positioned within the Damaged Hill space and two being positioned within the Cobar space, each prolific mineral fields.
Exploration license 8551 covers a magnetic anomaly which is hosted in a basement of Early Palaeozoic rocks of the Thompson Orogen, that are coated by Cretaceous sediments of the Eromanga Basin. Regional water bore and stratigraphic drilling point out depths to basement of 70m to 200m. The form and depth of the anomaly suggests a reasonably magnetic intrusive physique because the supply. Cobar model base metallic mineralisation is the goal.
Exploration license 8552 covers a 5km lengthy oval, NNE trending magnetic anomaly in an space of unconsolidated sand, silt and clay cowl as much as 100m thick. Basement geology is interpreted to be a part of the Neoproterozoic to Cambrian Delamerian Orogen. The form and depth of the anomaly suggests a reasonably magnetic intrusive physique because the supply.
Exploration licenses 8553 is positioned 15km W of the Cobar Goldfield and the CSA Copper Mine throughout the Devonian Cobar Basin. Rock sorts are dominated by sandstones and siltstones of the Amphitheatre Group. A gravity anomaly within the NW quadrant of the Licence types the principle goal. A gravity survey and geophysical modelling has resulted within the definition of a 1.5 x 1.5km goal zone of anomalous density occurring at a depth of 130 – 400m. Rock chip geochemistry (26 samples) over the gravity anomaly, returned weakly anomalous lead and sulphur ends in 6 samples. The gravity anomaly is taken into account a goal for Cobar model, structurally managed base metallic ± gold mineralisation.
Exploration license 9236 is taken into account potential for metasediment hosted Ag-Pb-Zn deposits being positioned 40km E of the world-class Damaged Hill orebodies. Bedrock consists of metamorphic rocks, largely gneisses, of the Early Proterozoic Willyama Supergroup, with a ferruginous and saprolitic cowl about 80m thick. The world has obtained solely modest ranges of prior exploration with most explorers focusing their efforts additional west close to Damaged Hill and the place mineralised bedrock outcrops or is near floor. A big space of base metallic anomalism related to a N-S construction has been recorded in RAB drilling by earlier explorers.
The Firm seems ahead to finalizing the Australian Transaction because it continues to construct a portfolio of potential exploration tasks throughout jurisdictions that we all know effectively – Mongolia and Australia are two such jurisdictions the place the administration group has deep expertise. Along with its current Mongolian tasks, the Australian Transaction will imply we now have a broad vary of tasks beneath possession. The Firm continues to work in the direction of a twin itemizing on the ASX in early 2024.
Bayan Underneath Copper Challenge- Mongolia
The Firm has deliberate a single drill gap on an interpreted porphyry copper goal within the southeast of the licence that has by no means been drilled. The goal is within the centre of a big space of alteration classical to the porphyry copper model and the drill gap is testing an induced polarisation geophysical anomaly. This drill gap was deliberate to be accomplished in late 2023 and can now be delayed till early 2024 with the exploration groups efforts and funding targeted on the Victory Nickel Challenge.
Mr. Matthew Wooden, Govt Chairman of Aranjin Sources acknowledged, “We’re extraordinarily happy with the corporate’s progress on the Victory Nickel Challenge and to have the ability to safe a big portfolio of exploration licenses in Australia with prepared outlined drill targets. We’re additionally very happy to formalize our possession of the Victory Nickel Challenge which might be a serious focus for the Firm within the subsequent 12 months.”
Matthew Wooden, Govt Chairman of the Firm, is a director of each MoA and WWC. As such, MoA and WWC are thought-about “Non-Arm’s Size Events” of the Firm pursuant to the insurance policies of the TSX Enterprise Change (the “TSXV”). Because the distributors of the Australian Initiatives are Non-Arm’s Size Events of the Firm, disinterested shareholder approval is required for the issuance of the Consideration Shares beneath the Australian Transaction pursuant to subsections 5.14(b) and 5.16(a) of TSXV Coverage 5.3 – Acquisitions and Disposition of Non-cash Belongings (“Coverage 5.3”). Along with in search of shareholder approval for the issuance of the Consideration Shares, the Firm additionally intends to hunt disinterested shareholder approval to ratify the Australian Transaction for proof of worth functions beneath part 5.15 of Coverage 5.3 at its subsequent annual normal and particular assembly of shareholders scheduled to be held on November 6, 2023. Widespread shares of the Firm held by Mr. Wooden or any associates is not going to be counted for the needs of the foregoing resolutions.
The Australian Transaction isn’t a “Basic Acquisition” beneath Coverage 5.3 because the Firm doesn’t intend to commit 50% of its property, sources, deliberate expenditures or administration time to the Australian properties over the following 12 month interval.
The completion of the Australian Transaction is topic to customary closing situations, receipt of shareholder approvals and TSXV approval.
