Second Phase of Drilling completed to extend the impressive earlier Daheim Copper drill results

Further thirteen RC holes completed, results pending

Perth, Western Australia - 21st July 2022 - The Board of Noronex Limited (Noronex or the Company) (ASX: NRX) is pleased to provide an update on the exploration of its suite of copper projects in Namibia.

Highlights

  • Follow up program of thirteen RC holes for 2,591m has been completed at Daheim on a 100m spaced grid
  • Holes have been sampled with results expected in August
  • Infill grid of Xrf soil geochemistry completed across the prospect
  • Holes planned to test extensions to the numerous intercepts over 300m width in the first fence of holes including:
  1. 27m @ 1.6 % Cu from 42m in 22DHRC06 including 10m @ 2.5% Cu
    1. 29m @ 0.7 % Cu from 113m in 22DHRC04 including 4m @ 3.3% Cu and
  • A further follow up RC program is being planned along with downhole logging and a diamond hole when practical
  • The drill rig has moved to the Erfenis Prospect in the Snowball JV project

Witvlei Drilling

The focus of the current exploration efforts is on the Witvlei project, comprising two Exclusive Prospecting Licences (EPL's) 7028 and 7029 covering 390 km2 that are prospective for sedimentary Cu-Ag mineralisation. Focus is now on the Daheim Prospect and extensions to the Malachite Pan deposit.

Daheim

A follow up program has been completed at Daheim on a 100m spaced grid. The program has included 13 RC holes for a total 2,591m.

This program has targeted follow up of the initial thirteen-hole program which include intercepts of:

  1. 27m @ 1.6 % Cu from 42m in 22DHRC06 including 10m @ 2.5% Cu o 29m @ 0.7 % Cu from 113m in 22DHRC05
    o 29m @ 0.7 % Cu from 113m in 22DHRC04 including 4m @ 3.3% Cu and o 10m @ 1.0 % Cu from 162m
    o 7m @ 1.7 % Cu from 68m in 22DHRC02

A detailed Digital Surface Model (DSM) was processed from ALOS satellite imagery at 2.5m resolution. Mapping of all surface float has been undertaken and a ground magnetic survey was completed to assist with interpretation of the stratigraphy and structure and location for follow up drilling.

Soil sampling was completed using a portable XRF on 100m lines that was closed up to 50m over known mineralisation. Results from 1 in 20 laboratory quality control sampling are pending.

The drill program planning has utilised these geological, geochemical, and geophysical interpretations to do significant step outs of 100m from the previous drilling to test strike extents and extend the size of the prospect.

A follow up hole has been drilled at depth below the thickest intercept in 22DHRC06 to test a down dip extension of the interpreted Sandstone-Siltstone contact.

The holes all intersected the Eskadron Formation containing oxidised red sandstones and brown siltstone sequence. Malachite staining was intercepted near surface and oxidation is down to approximately 30m vertically with fine pyrite, chalcopyrite and chalcocite developed in the siltstone horizons at depth below.

For personal use only

Samples have been collected in 3m composites and at 1m intervals where mineralisation was visually noted. Samples have been prepared in the ALS sample preparation facility in Namibia and are pending assaying at their laboratory in South Africa.

Drilling has been completed for the time being as the rigs move to Snowball. A further RC program is being planned to follow up anomalous geology intersected in these holes along with downhole logging and a diamond hole when practical.
