Mithril Resources Ltd (“Mithril”) (ASX:MTH) is pleased to advise that it has executed a Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement with Monax Mining Ltd (“Monax”) (ASX:MOX) whereby Monax is entitled to earn up to an 80% interest in Mithril’s Limestone Well tenements (EL’s 20/846 and 51/1069) by completing exploration expenditure of $2.5M over 5 years.
– Monax Mining Ltd to earn up to 80% of Mithril’s Limestone Well tenements by completing exploration expenditure of $2.5M over 5 years
– Limestone Well lies directly north along strike from the Barrambie Titanium Vanadium Deposit (2012 JORC Inferred + Indicated Resource of 280.1Mt @ 9.18%TiO2 and 0.44%V2O5)
– Monax to undertake aircore drilling to test Limestone Well’s vanadium potential as soon as possible
The Limestone Well tenements (located 90 kilometres southeast of Meekatharra, WA – see Figure 1 in link below) lie immediately along strike from the Barrambie Titanium Vanadium Deposit (2012 JORC Inferred + Indicated Resource of 280.1Mt @ 9.18%TiO2 and 0.44%V2O5 – Neometals Limited ASX Announcement dated 17 April 2018).
At Barrambie, the mineralisation occurs within a series of magnetite – bearing mafic rocks (anorthosite and gabbro) which can be traced in regional magnetics for 10’s of kilometres strike both north and south of the deposit, including onto Limestone Well (see Figure 2 in link below).
Monax plans to undertake reconnaissance aircore drilling to determine the vanadium potential of the magnetic units at Limestone Well as soon as possible.
Commenting on the new Farm-In and Joint Venture, Mithril’s Managing Director Mr David Hutton welcomed the new exploration initiative by Monax and looked forward to seeing the results of their work.
“Importantly the new agreement allows Mithril to remain focussed on the Kurnalpi Nickel Project where drilling has just finished and assays are awaited, and the new Billy Hills Zinc Project where two tenements have just been granted”
