Shallow high-grade gold hits defines extensive gold zone

at Junee Project, NSW

Outstanding assays of up to 27.2g/t in latest drilling at the Nangus Road Prospect

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Ongoing wide-spaced reconnaissance drilling across a 2km-longgold-copper anomaly at Nangus Road, part of the Junee Project in NSW, delivers further encouragement.
  • Latest assays from air-core (AC) and diamond drilling (DD) continue to identify significant near-surface gold mineralisation, with shallow intercepts including:
    1. 4m @ 2.5g/t Au from 28m (AC) incl 1m @ 6.3g/t Au at the bottom-of-hole
    1. 8m @ 1.1g/t Au from 40m (AC)
    1. 1m @ 27.2g/t Au from 142m (DD)
  • This follows on from previous intercepts announced in April 2022, including:
    1. 4m @ 5.9g/t Au from 4m (AC)
  • These gold intercepts show a coherent north-south trend >1km long, which remains open along strike and at depth. Follow up Reverse Circulation (RC)/DD is now being planned.

DevEx Resources Limited (ASX: DEV, "DevEx" or "the Company") is pleased to report further significant assay results from its ongoing drilling campaign at the Nangus Road Prospect, within its 100%-ownedJunee Copper-GoldProject in NSW.

Early indications from the drilling define the presence of a coherent north-south orientated gold zone which extends for over 1 kilometre. Significant gold in air-core intercepts received to date include 4m @ 2.5g/t Au from 28m, including 1m @ 6.3g/t Au at the bottom-of-hole (22JNAC041), 8m @ 1.1g/t Au from 40m (22JNAC081) and a previously reported intercept of 4m @ 5.9g/t Au from 4m (22JNAC013)1 (Figure 1).

In addition, diamond hole 22JNDD002 tested the same zone at depth intersecting 1m @ 27.2g/t from 142m (Figure 2).

To date RC/DD has tested only two east-west traverses 400m apart (Figure 1). This coherent zone of gold mineralisation remains open-ended and untested by drilling to the north, south and at depth.

Preliminary observations indicate the gold mineralisation is located within a sequence of broadly altered and sheared andesite volcanic rocks, displaying extensive phyllic to advanced argillic alteration.

Monzonite intrusions flank either side of the alteration zone with early indications suggesting the mineralisation may be associated with an underlying porphyry Cu-Au system.

Assay results from the remaining drilling will continue to be received over the next month and compilation of all results will assist with planning the next stage of RC and DD.

Junee Project Background

The Junee Project lies on the southern extension of the Macquarie Arc of NSW - Australia's largest porphyry Cu-Au terrane.

Age dating and chemistry from the area undertaken by the Geological Survey of New South Wales2 (GSNSW) identified monzonitic intrusions, with similar chemistry and the same age as the Cu-Au mineralised intrusions at the major Cadia-Ridgeway and Northparkes mining operations to the north (Figure 3).

At the Nangus Road Prospect early drilling in 2020 defined a monzonite immediately south of the current drill programme. Geochemistry of the monzonite at Nangus Road indicated it is a porphyry-fertile,high-potassium intrusion similar to other large porphyry Cu-Au deposits in the region, such as those seen at Cadia-Ridgway and Northparkes.

The extensive gold-copper anomalism on the northern margin of the Nangus Road monzonite and the extensive alteration zone seen in the current drill programme are pointing to an exciting and rapidly developing exploration opportunity.

Management Comment

Commenting on the results, DevEx Managing Director, Brendan Bradley, said: "While it's still early days at Junee, we are excited to see significant shallow gold intercepts starting to show a clear north-south gold-coppertrend at Nangus Road. These results, together with the presence of a large hydrothermal system, demonstrate excellent potential to host significant mineralisation.

"We look forward to receiving further assays and commencing the next drilling programme."
