OVERVIEW
During the March Quarter, projects in both
Australia and Peru were reviewed ahead of
the detailed development of exploration
programs for 2024, to advance the Company’s
prospects.
In Australia, a detailed review of data from
the Balladonia Project was completed under
the Strategic Alliance Agreement with
South32 to help focus ongoing exploration for
BHT and other styles of base metal
mineralisation in the most prospective areas.
Site preparation work was also completed at
Morrisey, where drilling commenced in April
2024.
In Peru, the focus remained on gaining the
necessary permits for drilling at the Cangallo
Porphyry Copper prospect and finalising
access requirements for drilling at Cerro de
Fierro. Discussions with major corporations
who have expressed interest in one or more of
the Company’s copper projects were
advanced through site visits to selected
projects.
AUSTRALIA – BASE METAL
PROJECTS (Copper, Zinc, Nickel & REE)
Balladonia Nickel-Copper and REE
Project (100% AQD, subject to SAA)
The Balladonia Project is located ~50km
south of the Nova–Bollinger nickel-copper
deposit. It consists of ten Exploration
Licences (six granted and four applications)
covering an area of ~1200km² and is located
within a structurally complex region of the
Fraser Range Terrane. Exploration at
Balladonia has indicated the potential for
multiple mineralisation styles with many
potential targets identified. This includes the
possibility
for
nickel
and
copper
mineralisation similar to the Nova deposit as
well as iron-oxide copper-gold (IOCG) and
Broken Hill Type (BHT) deposits similar to
those found in the Eastern Succession (NW
Queensland) and in NSW. More recently, the
potential for rare earth elements (REE)
associated with carbonatite intrusions has
also been recognised. Many of the tenements
lie within the Dundas Reserve. Exploration
work at Balladonia is funded under the SAA.
During the Quarter, a detailed review of
geochemical data from the drilling program
completed in 2023 was undertaken to help
prioritise targets for BHT base-metal
mineralisation that had been interpreted from
the magnetic and gravity data.
The review involved litho-geochemical
mapping of the down-hole stratigraphy and
comparison of key alteration factors within
each characterised rock sequence to identify
drill-holes that appear to be closest to possible
mineralisation.
The strength of potassic alteration (sodium
depletion)
within
the
gneisses
(metasediments) and manganese +/- iron +/calcium alteration within the quartz-garnetmagnetite (QGM) rocks that characterise the
prospective host stratigraphy were used to
prioritise drill-holes for prospectivity.
This study, completed by the Company’s
consultants,
identified
drill-holes
23BDDD019 at the Tea Tree prospect and
23BDDD021 at the Tea Tree North prospect
as having the highest prospectivity and being
the closest drill-holes to possible BHT
mineralisation.
Both drill-holes have magnetic and gravity
targets located in close proximity, that remain
untested by drilling. At Tea Tree, discordant
magnetic trends and possible magnetite
destructive alteration to the south and east of
drill-hole 23BDDD019 outline a priority
target area several kilometres in length, for
further drilling. At Tea Tree North, magnetic
and gravity anomalies to the east and south of
23BDDD021 are also considered priority
targets for future drilling (Figure 2).
Figure 2: Magnetics and gravity over the Tea Tree Trend showing large target areas at Tea Tree and Tea
Tree North prospects based on interpreted alteration and structural complexities adjacent to drill-holes
23BDDD019 and 021.
Ongoing exploration for BHT mineralisation,
including drilling, will be focused on the Tea
Tree Trend (>20km strike length) during
2024. Detailed gravity surveys over the
southern extension of the Tea Tree Trend
have been planned and will be completed to
help prioritise targets ahead of further drilling.
Interpretation of VTEM data acquired during
Q4 2023 (as outlined in the Company’s
December 2023 Quarterly Report) was
completed, defining at least eight bedrock
conductors for ground follow-up that are
thought to reflect massive sulphide and/or
graphitic source rocks. The conductors are
discrete in nature (~200m to 1,000m in
length) and have strong late-time VTEM
responses with anomalous time constant
values indicative of strong conductors (Figure
3).
Figure 3: Magnetic and VTEM data over the Balladonia Project showing bedrock conductors planned for
ground survey work.
Ground EM surveys are being planned to
confirm the conductivity, depth and shape of
the interpreted conductors to help prioritise
these targets ahead of possible drill testing.
Reconnaissance visits to each of these targets
is planned for Q2 2024 to check for sub-crops
close to the target that may help in the
prioritisation process. Exploration programs
are subject to discussions under the SAA.
A new Exploration Licence application was
submitted to secure strike extensions of the
prospective BHT host stratigraphy as defined
by magnetics and gravity, to the south and
west of the current tenements. The Company
now controls ~1200km² of tenement under the
Balladonia Project.
Morrisey Magnetite, Nickel-Copper-PGE
Project (100% AQD, subject to SAA)
The Morrisey Project is located ~500km north
of Perth in Western Australia within the
Narryer Terrane, which forms the northwestern margin of the Yilgarn Craton. It
consists of four granted Exploration Licences
(ELs) covering an area of ~1,000km² parallel
to the Yilgarn Craton boundary. The area
became the focus of industry attention
following the discovery of the Julimar nickelcopper-PGE deposit north of Perth, which
highlighted the untested nickel-copper-PGE
potential of the Western Yilgarn Craton
margin. Exploration work at Morrisey is
funded under the SAA. Reconnaissance
drilling at Morrisey has intersected magnetite
mineralisation
with
encouraging
metallurgical properties.
Following successful Stage 1 drilling results,
preparations for a second stage of Reverse
Circulation (RC) drilling at the Waterfall
prospect (minimum eight holes) and initial
RC drilling at the Bilga South (one hole) and
Toola (two holes) prospects were completed.
This program (comprising ~3,000m of RC
drilling) is designed to test the size and scale
of a possible magnetite resource identified by
earlier drilling at Waterfall, where drill-hole
22MYRC001 intersected coarse grained
magnetite (>60m) which produced a premium
grade product (>70% Fe) using a simple
magnetic separation process (see ASX release
20 October 2022 and 24 January 2023)
(Figure 4).
Figure 4. Planned RC drill-holes relative to both the magnetic and gravity models. The areas shown in red
are both strongly magnetic (magnetic susceptibility >0.5 SI units) and have high density (average SGs >3.2),
outlining the potential magnetite (Fe) target
The program will also help to determine the
potential size and scale of magnetite resources
across the project by testing two additional
magnetic/gravity targets, one at Bilga South
and the other at Toola. These prospects are
located ~40km north and east of Waterfall
and are characterised by strong coincident
magnetic and gravity anomalies similar to the
response recorded over Waterfall prospect
(Figure 5).
Drilling commenced in mid-to-late April and
is expected to take ~3 weeks to complete with
assay results available 3-4 weeks after
completion of the program (ASX release 22
April).
The initial eight holes will be drilled at the
Waterfall prospect, where modelling of
magnetic and gravity data indicates that
magnetite is likely to extend to the south-west
of drill-hole 22MYRC001 – where it could
occur at shallower depths and over greater
thicknesses.
Drill sections have been positioned ~150m
apart with drill-holes every 100m along
section to provide sufficient overlap between
holes to enable the continuity of
mineralisation to be assessed. The planned
drill-holes are inclined at 60° to grid-west and
will be drilled to ~225m depth pending
drilling conditions and visual assessment of
the samples.

planned drill-holes.
Jubilee Lake Nickel-Copper-PGE Project
(100% AQD, subject to SAA)
The Jubilee Lake Project is located ~500km
east of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia,
within the northern portion of the Eucla
Basin. It consists of three granted Exploration
Licences covering a total area of ~1,800km².
The Project is situated within a large flood
basalt terrane close to the south-eastern
margin of the Yilgarn Craton and is centred
over the Rodona Shear, which shows strong
evidence as being a key feeder structure to the
surrounding flood basalts. Mafic/ultramafic
intrusions associated with feeder structures to
flood basalt terranes are considered prime
targets for Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide deposits,
similar to those found at the giant Norilsk
deposits in Russia, and more locally at NeboBabel (Oz Minerals) and possibly at NovaBollinger (IGO). Exploration work at Jubilee
is funded under the SAA.
Field work, including drilling, is pending
advice from Central Desert Native Title
Services and the Traditional Owners
regarding proposed heritage clearance surveys
for drilling designed to test the Company’s
concept of a new nickel-copper province at
Jubilee.
The targets proposed for drilling are located
adjacent to the Rodona Shear and other sub-
parallel structures which are thought to
represent major deep-seated feeder structures
responsible for the extensive outpouring of
flood basalts in the area, highlighting
similarities with the giant Norilsk nickelcopper-PGE deposits in Russia.
Moora Nickel-Copper Project (100% AQD,
subject to SAA)
The Moora Project is located ~150km north
of Perth, Western Australia, within the
Jimperding Metamorphic Belt, which forms
the south-western margin to the Yilgarn
Craton. It consists of two Exploration
Licences and covers an area of ~370km². The
area became the focus of industry attention
following the discovery of the Julimar nickelcopper-PGE deposit north of Perth, which
highlighted the untested nickel-copper-PGE
potential of the Western Yilgarn Craton
margin. Exploration work at Moora is funded
under the SAA.
No field work was completed during the
Quarter.
Communications
with
local
landowners were maintained to facilitate
access to the planned drill sites when
required.
A limited RC drilling program (two
holes/~500m) has been designed to test for
strongly magnetic ultramafic rocks that are
interpreted to occur beneath the gabbro
intersected by the initial drill program. No
dates have been set for the re-commencement
of drilling.
Fertile ultramafic host rocks within the
Gonneville Intrusion at the Julimar Prospect,
north of Perth, are known to be strongly
magnetic, suggesting that similar magnetic
rock types within the Latham Intrusion should
be priority targets for nickel-copper-PGE
mineralisation.
Hamilton Copper-Gold Project:
The Hamilton Project is located in north-west
Queensland, ~120km south of the world-class
Cannington mine and ~70km south of the
Osborne copper mine. It consists of two
Exploration Licences covering an area of
~260km². Exploration is targeting iron oxide,
copper, gold (IOCG) and Broken Hill Type
(BHT) mineralisation beneath the extensive
cover in the region. Limited drilling
completed to date to test magnetic and gravity
targets, provides evidence for “near-miss”
situations which are the focus of the
Company’s exploration.
A review of the Company’s drilling database
was completed during the Quarter,
highlighting at least one target at the
Hamilton South prospect where wide-spaced
(~300m to 500m) testing of bedrock has
outlined a magnetic target that was not tested
by drilling.
Variable alteration, including strong potassic
plus calcic and iron alteration was found to
occur within six of the central drill-holes,
with regional sodic alteration and unaltered
rocks restricted to the outer-rim of drill-holes,
suggesting potential for IOCG mineralisation
within the central part of the magnetic
complex. Further drilling is being considered.
Mt Davis Lead-Zinc-Copper Project:
The Mt Davis Project is located ~180km NNE
of Wiluna, Western Australia, along the
northern margin of the Earaheedy Basin. It
consists of one Exploration Licence covering
an area of ~380km². The project was acquired
following the discovery of extensive zinc and
copper mineralisation by Rumble Resources
at its Chinook Prospect, located on the
southern side of the Basin, where
mineralisation is stratigraphically controlled
and located below the Frere Iron Formation.
The Mt Davis tenements are believed to
contain similar stratigraphy but in an area of
greater structural complexity which has been
reported as an important factor in the
localisation of higher grades at Chinook.
During the Quarter, an application was
submitted for funding assistance (50% of
direct costs), as part of the Government’s
‘Co-funded
Geophysics
Program’,
to
undertake a helicopter-borne electromagnetic
(HEM) survey over key target areas within
the Mt Davis Project.
It is expected that applicants will be advised
around the end of April whether their
application has been successful. Surveys
under this Government assistance package
cannot commence until H2 2024 and have 12
months to be completed.
New Opportunities (Australia):
New opportunities within Australia continue
to be assessed by the Company’s consultants.
A Native Title clearance survey for a
proposed gravity survey over the Coober
Pedy IOCG Project in South Australia is
expected to be completed in Q2 2024.
PERU COPPER-GOLD PROJECTS
AusQuest has assembled a strong portfolio of
copper-gold prospects along the southern
coastal belt of Peru in South America, with
numerous targets identified for drilling as
possible porphyry copper and/or replacement
style (manto) IOCG targets with the size
potential being of significance to AusQuest
(Figure 6). Peru is one of the world’s most
prominent destinations for copper exploration
and is considered a prime location for worldclass exploration opportunities.
During the Quarter, the search for new joint
venture partners continued with a number of
companies
reviewing
the Company’s
extensive database over the Cerro de Fierro,
Pirata, Cangallo, Parcoy and Playa Kali
Projects and undertaking site visits as part of
their due diligence process.
Discussions with several interested parties are
ongoing and expressions of interest are likely
over the coming months. Drill permitting at
several sites was completed to enable drilling
to take place if and when agreements are
reached. If no reasonable offers are received,
the Company will consider drilling selected
porphyry and manto copper targets in its own
right.
Figure 6: Project Locations – Southern Peru.
Cerro de Fierro Copper Project:
The Cerro de Fierro Project (CDF) is located
at the southern end of a recognised IOCG
metallogenic belt in southern Peru. It lies
within ~150km of the Mina Justa deposit
(~475Mt @ 0.68% Cu), which is being
developed by the Marcobre Joint Venture.
Surface indicators of porphyry copper
mineralisation have been identified within the
Pirata Project area approximately 5km due
east of CDF, associated with a major E-W
structure that is considered to be a priority
target zone for porphyry copper deposits
within the coastal belt of southern Peru.
During the Quarter, access and drilling
contractors were approached to provide cost
estimates for an RC drilling program at the
Cerro de Fierro Iron-Oxide Copper-Gold
(IOCG) prospect to test a structurally
controlled target along strike from copper-
gold mineralisation intersected in drill-hole
CDFDD003 (ASX release 19 December
2018).
All the necessary permits for drilling have
been received. A decision on drilling awaits
responses from several companies which have
expressed interest in the area.
Drill permitting for the Lantana prospect is
still on hold while the Company awaits a
response from potential joint venture partners
as to their interest in the area. The Lantana
prospect is considered to be a high-priority
porphyry copper target due to its scale
(~2,000m x 800m) and the widespread
occurrence of highly anomalous copper
values found at surface (Quarterly Report,
March 2023).
Cangallo Copper-Gold Project:
The
Cangallo
Project
is
located
approximately 20km west of the Company’s
Cerro de Fierro Project in southern Peru,
along the same E-W structures that appear to
control the emplacement of potential
porphyry copper systems in the area. The
tenements, which cover an area of ~ 30km²,
are located at an elevation of 1,600 metres,
~10km from the coast, close to infrastructure.
Geological mapping and rock-chip sampling
has identified a partially exposed copper (+/gold) porphyry system within a large-scale
(5km x 2km) caldera-like structure containing
extensive colluvial and younger sediment
cover.
During the Quarter, geological mapping and
sampling was undertaken over key areas that
were highlighted by earlier rock-chip
sampling results as having the potential to
host porphyry copper mineralisation. This
mapping exercise is designed to locate
potential vectors to mineralisation (dykes
and/or veins) that would help to prioritise
target areas beneath the extensive cover that
fills the large caldera-like structure. Results of
this work are expected over the coming
weeks.
Drill permits for RC drilling were received for
17 drill pads located within the northern half
of the prospect. A decision on drilling awaits
responses from several companies which have
expressed interest in the project.
Parcoy IOCG Project:
The Parcoy Project is located near the
southern end of a recognised IOCG
metallogenic belt in southern Peru. It lies
within ~100km of the Mina Justa deposit
(~475Mt @ 0.68% Cu), and ~50km northwest of the Company’s Cerro de Fierro
Project. Geological mapping and rock-chip
sampling
has
identified
significant
concentrations of copper (+/- gold) at
surface, reflecting potential manto-style
mineralisation
within
the
volcanic
stratigraphy.
No field work was undertaken during the
Quarter. The Company believes there are
copper targets at Parcoy that were not tested
by the initial wide-spaced drilling programs.
The Company is seeking a joint venture
partner to progress this project.
New Opportunities (Peru)
The search for new copper opportunities has
been put on hold while the Company seeks
suitable partners for its current projects.
CORPORATE
During the March Quarter, the Company
invested $380,000 in exploration and had
approximately $2.65 million in cash
remaining at the end of March. In accordance
with the terms of the SAA further funding
from South32 to cover agreed work programs
over Strategic Alliance Projects is anticipated
in Q2 2024.
The Company’s Cashflow Report (Appendix
5B) for the Quarter ended 31 March 2024 is
appended to this report. Payments to related
parties as shown in Section 6 of this report
include director salary and superannuation
payments of $54,750, and payments of
$12,000 for corporate consulting fees to a
director.
The Company advises that its appeal to the
Administrative Judiciary against payments
requested by the Ministry of Housing (SBN)
for temporary access to State-Owned land for
drilling purposes, is still with the Supreme
Court of Peru for leave to appeal on the
question of interpretation of the relevant law.
The Company continues to monitor the
position and will keep shareholders advised of
any significant developments.
