Marloo Dam Tenement Background

The Marloo Tenement is the single exploration tenement, E15/1498, that is located approximately 12km south of the Company's Lefroy Gold Project. The Marloo Tenement is 100% held by Monger Exploration Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Marloo Tenement is located 25km southeast of the St Ives gold mining centre which is operated by Gold Fields Limited.

The regional geology of Marloo Dam area, within which the Marloo Tenement is located, consists of a northerly trending succession of mafic and ultramafic volcanics located approximately 4km east of the crustal scale Boulder-Lefroy Fault (Figure 2). A northerly striking structural trend known as the Paris Shear Zone is interpreted to lie on the eastern boundary of the Marloo Tenement. The earliest previous exploration that identified bedrock gold mineralisation adjacent to the tenement was conducted by Aztec Exploration Limited in the late 1980's, with most of this drilling occurring external to the Marloo Tenement (Figure 2).

Initial exploration by the Company has included compilation of previous exploration, ground reconnaissance and drill hole truthing. The Company also completed prospecting for gold over anomalous areas based on drill data and located numerous gold nuggets along a north south corridor coincident with the Paris Shear Zone.
