Down Under Project Update: GMN Observes Rocks Prospective for REE

Gold Mountain Limited (ASX: GMN) (“Gold Mountain” or “the Company” or “GMN”) is pleased to announce it has visually identified numerous occurrences of both leucogranites and of charnockite in five of its tenements and silicified and sheared rocks that are often associated with good REE values.


Highlights

  • Charnockite and leucogranites identified as well as sheared and silicified rocks
  • Stream sediment sampling and mapping progressing well
  • Favourable weathering profiles present
  • Satellite imagery interpretation is in progress at present

GMN is delighted to announce that it has identified widespread charnockite and leucogranites in the five tenements in which stream sediment sampling is progressing. Charnockite is widespread and leocogranites have been identified at three locations in three separate tenements.

Sheared and silicified rocks have also been identified. The sheared rock found is a type that is often associated with high REE values according to one of our personnel with over 4 years experience working on REE in the region. Channel sampling of those exposures has been undertaken and samples are being prepared for dispatch.

The silicified rocks will also be sampled as they are also can be associated with high grade REE values.

Sampling commenced in tenements that are within 1.4 km of high-grade mineralisation drilled and reported by Brazilian Rare Earths in their Prospectus (lodged ASX 13 November 2023). There is no guarantee that GMN will have similar levels of results to results achieved by BRE, however they do assist in forming a basis for planned and targeted exploration.

Challenger Gold Doubles Ecuador Resource to 9.1¹ Million Ounces Gold Equivalent²

Challenger Gold Doubles Ecuador Resource to 9.1¹ Million Ounces Gold Equivalent²

Highlights

  • Mineral Resource Estimate ('MRE') at Challenger Gold's Ecuador projects increased from 4.5 to 9.1 Moz1 AuEq2 - a 100% growth milestone (Refer Table 1).
  • Attributable resource to CEL 6.9 Moz AuEq2 across El Guayabo (100%) and Colorado V (50%).
  • Significant upside remains: The resource is based on drilling 5 of the 15 major anomalies, with all 13 anomalies drilled returning mineralisation.
  • Completion of exploration in Ecuador enables the Company to commence the value realisation process, including strategic divestment options.
Commercial Advantages of the Project
  • Large-Scale Opportunity: The updated MRE positions Challenger Gold’s Ecuador assets among the largest undeveloped gold resources in South America, with 567Mt @ 0.50g/t AuEq for 9.1Moz AuEq on a total project basis.
  • Premium High-Grade Core Enhances Economics: The resource includes a higher-grade core of 2.1 Moz @ 1.0g/t AuEq, including 1.2 Moz @ 1.2g/t AuEq, offering potential for early-stage production and strong cash flow generation.
  • Strategic Location Validates District Potential: The projects are adjacent to Lumina Gold’s 20.5Moz Cangrejos project4 , which recently secured a $300M financing deal with Wheaton Precious Metals, confirming the district’s world-class potential as a globally significant gold-copper region.
  • Development-Ready Infrastructure: Located just 35km from a deepwater port with existing power, water, and road access on granted Mining Leases, the project benefits from reduced development costs and logistical efficiencies.
