Millennium Project

• • 2012 JORC-compliant Resource of 8.4Mt @ 1.23% CuEq* held on 5 granted Mining Leases near Mt Isa, Qld
  • Majority of project value held in cobalt – a critical metal for battery materials
  • Bulk of the deposit is from surface, amenable to open cut mining and remains open along strike and at depth with significant potential for expansion – MBK Exploration Target of 12-14Mt @ 1.0-1.3% CuEq*
  • Close to processing solutions and excellent infrastructure in the Mount Isa region
  • Northern Area drill results identified copper to 1.5%/m

MBK holds 51%* of and has exclusive right to earn up to 80% interest in the Millennium Project under the terms of the earn-in and joint venture agreement with diversified critical metals specialist Global Energy Metals Corp (TSX: GEMC).

The Millennium Project near Cloncurry in NW QLD currently holds a JORC2012-compliant Inferred Resource* of 8.4Mt @ 1.23% CuEq (Cu-Co-Au-Ag) across 5 granted Mining Leases with significant potential for expansion. It is located 19km from the Rocklands copper-cobalt project (Inferred Resource of 55.4Mt @ 0.64% Cu, 0.15 g/t Au, 290ppm Co for 0.90% CuEq) which has an established processing plant capable of treating Millennium-style ores once recommissioned.

Millennium location plan

Initial drilling by MBK in 2021 provided confidence in growth upside to the existing Resource of 5.9Mt @ 1.08% CuEq (2016), with encouraging infill/extension work in the Southern Area Resource (MI21RC01-2) and expansion of the system strike and scale into the Northern Area (MI21RC03-07).

Subsequent resource expansion and infill drilling in 2022 including near surface confidence increases and high grade intersections at depth resulted in a 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate update, with a 42% tonnage increase and 14% grade increase to 8.4Mt @ 1.23% CuEq (Co-Cu-Au)*. This includes proposed open cut Resources of 7.2Mt @ 1.19% CuEq and proposed underground Resources of 1.1Mt @ 1.55% CuEq once Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction (RPEEE) factors were applied.

In addition to the Resource and Exploration Target areas, there are a number of adjacent and/or peripheral drill ready targets including the Corella and Federal Trends plus key conceptual targets down dip of the Northern, Central and Southern Areas towards and/or adjacent the Fountain Range/Quamby Fault system. Scree and alluvial cover also obscure surface geology and geochemical signatures in areas, adding to previous exploration complexity.
