High Resolution Ground Magnetics Commences at 100% - Owned Kiabye Gold Project, Western Australia

Red Mountain Mining Limited (“RMX” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that today it will commence conducting a high-resolution ground magnetics and targeted pXRF assay program at the Company’s 100%-owned Kiabye Gold Project in Western Australia. The Company will aim to define potential gold bearing structures for conventional wet geochemical sampling.


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Survey has launched today in the northern Kiabye area – an area which has previously reported anomalous gold-in-soil
  • Kiabye Gold Project covers 23km2 of strike and remains underexplored – providing considerable upside potential for RMX
  • The survey will target structures amenable to gold bearing fluids with target areas to be followed up with detailed pXRF assaying
  • The program will take approximately 12 days, covering to 10km2 – results of the magnetic survey are anticipated in mid to late March
  • Defined anomalous areas will be targeted for wet chemistry sampling with lab results expected in late March.

The program is focused on the most northern section of the Kiabye licence (E59/2893), which is one of the four exploration licenses that make up the project area. This straddles the Kiabye Greenstone Belt in the Yilgarn‘s Murchison Domain, southeast of Mount Magnet. The survey will total 10km2 and will be split into three areas of focus, based on priority (see Figure 1).

The program is expected to take 12 days, with coverage to depend on the rate of surveying, across both magnetics and pXRF assay follow-up. This will assist the Company in defining the three target areas, based on sample results (see Figure 2). A summary of each area is as follows:

  • Area 1 covers a number of anomalous gold in soil samples, hosts two NNE (North- North-East) striking faults and is located in an area of unverified alluvial and insitu gold.
  • Area 2 contains numerous gold in soil samples with several samples of >20ppb to 47ppb Au. The block is also cut by two faults striking NNE and NS. The area also contains RMX rock sample KPR020 which assayed at 96ppbAu and 2.6ppm Ag.
  • Area 3 contains two areas with samples of >20ppb Au. The west is cut by a major NNW to NS faults marking the boundary between the Kiabye Greenstone Belt and Granites to the west. The second fault strikes NNE and is believed to extend north into Area 2.

Significance of Gold-in soils

In consideration of the highly diluting soil profile in the area, any soil sample with ≥20ppB Au is considered anomalous therefore Area 2 and 3 contain several areas with anomalous gold-in-soils.

Ground Magnetic Survey

The Red Mountain Mining team and contractors will conduct the geophysical survey initially at 100m east - west line spacing and 20m reading intervals. The data will be processed and interpreted in the field and where structures of interest are identifying these areas will be infilled to 50m line spacing. The main targets for gold mineralisation include shear zones and faults interpreted in the data. The surveys will collect data from 110 to 213-line kilometers depending on the number of infill lines conducted.

Project background:

The Kiabye gold project is located in WA and covers a strike length of 23km² of the greenstone belt (Figure 3) with less than half covered by exploration samples from historical explorers and only around 7% having been covered by prior holders.

Vertex Minerals Gets Efficiency Boost with Sensor-based Ore Sorting Tech

Ore processing at Vertex Minerals’ (ASX:VTX) Hill End gold project in New South Wales is getting a boost in efficiency and sustainability with the integration of Tomra Mining’s laser ore sorting technology, according to a report published by Mining Review Africa.

Integrating Tomra’s sensor-based sorting system allowed Vertex to more precisely separate ore from waste rock, thereby improving feed grade and reducing the volume of materials processed downstream, the report noted.

Canadian Wildfires Force Mining Sector to Retreat as Thousands Evacuate in Manitoba

Canadian wildfires are hitting Manitoba hard, triggering the evacuation of over 17,000 people in province.

“This is the largest evacuation Manitoba will have seen in most people’s living memory,” Premier Wab Kinew said in a May 28 statement. He declared a province-wide state of emergency and confirmed that Canadian military aircraft would be deployed "imminently" to assist with evacuations and firefighting efforts.

“For the first time, it’s not a fire in one region. We have fires in every region. That is a sign of a changing climate that we are going to have to adapt to," Kinew also noted in a press conference.

Lahontan Mobilizes Drill Rig to Santa Fe

Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSXV:LG)(OTCQB:LGCXF) (the "Company" or "Lahontan") is pleased to announce that the Company has mobilized a reverse-circulation ("RC") drill rig and support equipment to its flagship Santa Fe Mine project in Nevada's prolific Walker Lane. Lahontan will initially concentrate Phase One of its 2025 drilling program on the Slab target area. Drilling will commence on the patented lode mining claims and then expand onto lands administered by the Federal Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") when formal approval of the Company's Notice of Intent ("NOI") is received.

Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Gold Corp CEO, Executive Chair, and Founder commented:"Lahontan is excited to begin its 2025 drill campaign at Santa Fe. The goal of the RC drilling program is to expand known gold and silver resources in the Slab and York target areas in order to increase the inventory of potentially minable precious metal ounces in this portion of the Santa Fe Mine project. Drilling will also provide additional sample material for metallurgical testing as recommended in the Santa Fe Project Technical report*. The Company anticipates initial assay results in a four to six week time frame".
