Situated roughly 40 kilometres east of Onslow within the Ashburton area of Western Australia, Whaleshark. It was acquired by Miramar as a part of its preliminary public providing in 2020.

Miramar secured $180,000 underneath the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) funding program from the Western Australia Authorities to fund diamond drilling and venture growth at Whaleshark. Assay outcomes from the diamond drilling confirmed the presence of bedrock copper sulphide mineralisation at Whaleshark and the corporate additionally recognized the potential for very giant magnetite iron deposits close to present infrastructure.

Undertaking Highlights:

• Prospectivity: Whaleshark shows all the mandatory traits for the presence of a big copper-gold deposit, together with:
  • Proterozoic granite with close by iron-rich rocks
  • Overlapping magnetic anomalism and gravity
  • Robust anomalous “interface” geochemistry
  • Sodic and potassic alteration
• Excessive-priority Drilling: Miramar has recognized a number of high-priority bedrock drill targets which comprise overlapping:
  • Cellular metallic iron (MMI) floor geochemical anomalism over roughly 1.2 sq. kilometers
  • Gravity anomalism crosscut by a northwest-trending construction
  • Strongly elevated copper, cobalt, gold and silver outcomes gathered from “interface” aircore drilling
• Advantageous Geology: Whaleshark’s geology is just like the massive Ernest Henry IOCG deposit in Queensland, together with the size, suite and magnitude of components. Nevertheless, Whaleshark additionally shows shallower cowl in comparison with Ernest Henry.
• Bedrock copper sulphide confirmed: Outcomes from the finished diamond drill program confirmed the presence of bedrock copper sulphide mineralisation throughout the venture. Multi-element assays subsequently additionally confirmed the presence of anomalous copper, gold, silver, molybdenum and tungsten all through the Whaleshark granodiorite.
• Massive Magnetite Iron Alternatives: The drill program, coupled with evaluation and comparisons to historic information and magnetic anomalies additionally point out potential for a big shallow magnetite iron deposit at Whaleshark in shut proximity to important infrastructure.

Miramar has a number of granted and pending exploration licences in its district-scale Bangemall venture that are potential for Proterozoic magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation related to 1070Ma Kulkatharra Dolerite sills that are the identical age because the Giles Complicated, host to the massive Nebo and Babel Ni-Cu deposits within the West Musgraves of WA.

Each the Geological Survey of Western Australia and Geoscience Australia have recognized the world as being extremely potential for quite a few kinds of mineral deposits.

Since 2020, Miramar has constructed a strategic land place within the Bangemall area, specializing in areas containing key elements and/or regional-scale indicators for Norilsk-style Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation:

• Kulkatharra Dolerite sills – supply of Ni, Cu +/- PGE’s
• Proximity to main crustal-scale faults (+/- cross faults) – potential plumbing programs +/- traps
• Sulphidic sediments – potential sulphur supply
• Regional-scale geochemical anomalism (GSWA regional geochemistry)
• Regional-scale EM anomalism (2013 Capricorn AEM Survey)

The corporate’s Mount Vernon venture is a excessive precedence. In early 2022, Miramar flew an in depth magnetic and electromagnetic survey over the Mount Vernon venture, figuring out a number of late-time anomalies probably associated to nickel-copper-PGE sulphide mineralisation. A floor EM is underway and RC drilling is deliberate for Mount Vernon targets.

Undertaking Highlights:

• Mount Vernon potential: Miramar’s VTEM survey at Mount Vernon confirms historic exploration on the venture, which recognized:
  • Nickel, copper and platinum group components soil anomalies
  • Important nickel-copper in rock chips
  • Drilling intersected elevated nickel-copper-PGEs in dolerite
• 50 rock chip samples taken, with a number of containing course-grained pyrite in advantageous grained chill margin and coarser grained gabbro within the centre of the sill
• Present Work: Geophysical contractors have commenced a fastened loop electromagnetic survey to refine targets for future drill testing
• Growth of Bangemall Undertaking: In early 2024, Miramar introduced the grant of the Bother Bore Exploration Licence, adjoining to Mount Vernon, the place historic EM surveys had recognized a robust late-time EM anomaly that could possibly be consultant of buried Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation.

Situated roughly 15 kilometres north of Kalgoorlie, Gidji is a extremely potential but underexplored gold venture with potential nickel mineralisation. Miramar has been actively exploring the venture since October 2020, ensuing within the identification of a number of new targets and outlining giant aircore gold anomalies at Marylebone, Blackfriars and Freeway/Piccadilly, every of which may host a major gold discovery. The Marylebone goal is the very best precedence goal because it has the identical geology, structural setting and scale because the 4-Moz Paddington gold deposit which can be positioned within the ‘Boorara Shear Zone’ to the north and the place Miramar found high-grade gold in a quartz vein. On the Marylebone goal alone, Miramar has outlined a big shallow gold “exploration goal” of 1.4 to three.2 million tons (Mt) @ 1.2 to 1.5 grams per ton (g/t) gold. The corporate believes Gidji has the potential to change into a brand new gold camp.

Highlights:

• A number of Excessive-potential Gold Targets: Potential mineralisation at Marylebone ranges from 1.4 to three.2 Mt @ 1.2 to 1.5 g/t gold. Different gold anomaly targets embrace Blackfriars, Freeway-Piccadilly and Railway. Miramar is presently refining bedrock targets for additional deep drilling.
• Potential Nickel Sulphide Mineralisation: By re-analysis of a number of aircore holes, Miramar has produced important platinum and palladium assays generally related to excessive nickel and copper outcomes.

Located 40 kilometres east of the Kalgoorlie Gold Discipline, Miramar’s 100-percent-owned Glandore venture shows the potential for important high-grade gold mineralisation. Earlier exploration of the venture space recognized a big aircore gold footprint together with important gold anomalism. Diamond drilling in 2005 returned outcomes that included 4 metres @ 44.3 g/t gold.

In 2022, Miramar accomplished a diamond drilling program on the high-grade “Glandore East’ goal, on the fringe of the salt lake, with outcomes returning high-grade gold mineralisation and visual gold. A number of parallel mineralised buildings have been outlined beneath a really giant aircore gold footprint and bedrock gold mineralisation is current over 600 metres of strike and open. A UAV magnetic survey recognized a number of northeast-trending buildings. Extra surveys are deliberate to additional refine and help in concentrating on.
