Highlights

  • o Low resistivity anomalies interpreted to represent high conductivity areas identified at Matilda South

  • o Resistivity consistent with previous interpretation of a large mafic / ultramafic intrusion

  • o Multiple targets generated for future drill testing

Dundas Minerals Limited (ASX: DUN) ("Dundas Minerals" or "the Company") is actively exploring for nickel, copper and gold in the prospective Albany-Fraser Orogen, Western Australia.

Low resistivity values identified at Matilda South prospect

Preliminary results from a three (3) line Audiomagnetotellurics (AMT)

survey recently completed at the Company's 100% owned Matilda

South exploration prospect, has returned low resistivity (equivalent to high conductivity) values.

The AMT survey model results are shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 (lines 9800, 10200 and 10600).

The AMT survey was designed to investigate for zones of resistivity within the large Matilda South circular gravity anomaly, to a maximum depth of ~1500m. The Matilda South anomaly was previously reported by Dundas Minerals as being interpreted to be almost certainly due to a mafic / ultramafic intrusion (refer ASX Announcement of 18 January 2022).

The AMT survey results are most encouraging as resistivity values are interpreted as being consistent with a mafic / ultramafic intrusion.

Pleasingly, distinct zones of low resistivity (equivalent to high conductivity) have been modelled on each of the three AMT lines.

These zones will be the focus for the planning of an initial drilling program at Matilda South to test for mineralisation.

Commenting on the Matilda South anomalies, Dundas Minerals managing director Shane Volk said "the identification of resistivity anomalies at Matilda South is the outcome that we wanted from this AMT survey program - although this was never guaranteed. These encouraging results now provide us with distinct areas of focus, as we continue to progress Matilda South towards a maiden drilling program, which we are targeting to commence by mid-year.

The exploration history of the Matilda South area is quite intriguing. Much of the area that now sits within Dundas Minerals granted exploration licence E63/2056 was held by Canadian junior explorer IGC Resources Inc., from 2005 until 2009 (via its Australian subsidiary Goldport Pty Ltd). During this time a soil sampling campaign and a gravity survey were completed, which culminated in a wide-spaced air-core drilling program (44 holes spaced 1km or 2km apart (2006)). The deepest air-core drill hole was to 64m and only one hole was drilled within the area covered by the AMT survey, that hole was to a depth of 11m. Likewise, only one soil sample was taken from within the AMT survey area, and none of the soil samples taken by Goldport were assayed for nickel. Despite a recommendation being made to proceed to deeper drilling following completion of its 2006 air-core drill program1, no further drilling was ever undertaken, and no ground based exploration has taken place at, or in the vicinity of the Matilda South prospect since that time."

About Dundas:

Dundas Minerals Limited (ASX: DUN) is a battery-minerals and gold focussed exploration company exploring in the highly prospective southern Albany-Fraser Orogen, Western Australia. Dundas Minerals holds 12 contiguous exploration licences (either granted or under application) covering an area of 1,201km2. All licences are 100% owned by Dundas and are located within unallocated Crown Land. The Albany-Fraser Orogen hosts the world-class Tropicana gold mine (AngloGold Ashanti ASX: AGG / Regis Resources ASX: RRL) and the Nova nickel mine (Independence Group ASX: IGO). The Dundas tenements are located ~120km south west of Nova, have not been subject to modern exploration and are deemed prospective for battery materials (nickel, copper and rare earths), and gold. Dundas Minerals listed on the ASX on 10 November 2021.
