BRONZE FOX PROJECT

The Bronze Fox Project covers 175km2 and is located in the Southern Gobi porphyry belt of southern Mongolia, approximately 450km south of the capital Ulaanbataar. It represents an opportunity to secure an 80% interest (with the ability to move to 100% at Woomera’s election) in an underexplored world-class porphyry copper project with genuine Tier-1 potential. Drilling by Kincora totalling approximately 46,625 metres of Reverse Circulation and Diamond Core drilling has defined three shallow, large porphyry complexes, providing genuine new discovery potential, resource delineation and early-stage exploration plays.

Key project components include:

  • Bronze Fox Licences: located in the rapidly developing Southern Gobi copper belt.
    • two adjacent licences covering 175km2
    • 3 underexplored, large and near surface porphyry systems
    • plus other early-stage copper and gold targets.
  • JORC Compliant Resource and Exploration Target (See Cautionary Statements below & Appendix)
    • 194Mt at 0.26% copper equivalent (CuEq) at a 0.2% CuEq cutoff within a notional pit shell to a depth of approximately 325m below surface¹.
    • additional Exploration Target for the West Kasulu prospect of between 100Mt and 300Mt at 0.25% to 0.35% CuEq². The Exploration Target comprises potential mineralisation below the current Mineral Resource from approximately 325m to 1,200m below surface.
    • Existing mining licence with plans for second covering the full project.
  • Team: Established in-country team of internationality experienced geologists with supporting infrastructure and Ulaanbaatar office.
  • White Pearl Field Camp: Year-round facility supporting operational needs.
  • Country Wide Database: Provides opportunities for new acquisitions in Mongolia.
