Interpretation and Relevance to OZM’s Mulgabbie North

1. Relief Shear and Mineralized Structures

• Observation: The Relief Shear is a dominant north-south structure, with red lines indicating shear zones and faults extending from Carosue Dam (6650000N) northward through Mulgabbie North (~6660000N–6665000N) toward the Central Anomaly.
• Relevance: This aligns with OZM’s 8km Relief Shear corridor (5875N–8375N, local grid), hosting Cross Fault (6900N–7300N), Golden Goose (5875N), and Demag Zone/Alicia (7300N–8500N). The May 2025 announcement (web ID: 14) notes north-south faults and NE offsets controlling gold mineralization, consistent with the map’s fault network. The shear’s continuity suggests mineralization extends along its 8km strike, supporting our exploration target of 1.6–2.6Moz (prior analysis).

2. Proximity to Carosue Dam

• Observation: Whirling Dervish and Karari (yellow stars) are ~2–3.5km southwest of Mulgabbie North, with the Relief Shear linking these deposits to OZM’s tenements.
• Relevance: The Carosue Dam basin’s western limb (Northern Star’s operations, 5.27Moz) mirrors Mulgabbie North’s eastern limb (May 2025 discussion), with sandstone-hosted gold mined at Carosue Dam (web ID: 14). This proximity (3.5km) enhances M&A appeal (e.g., Northern Star) and supports heap leach viability, with trial mining likely by May–June 2026 (prior analysis).

3. Mulgabbie North Prospects

• Observation: Mulgabbie North, Mulgabbie Hotel, and Golden Goose are marked as prospects (green stars), with historic gold occurrences (yellow dots) scattered along the Relief Shear.
• Relevance: These prospects align with our identified drilling targets:
  • Cross Fault (6900N–7300N): Central to recent high-grade intercepts (e.g., 22.58 g/t Au, May 2025).
  • Golden Goose (5875N): Southern extension, with 10m @ 0.90 g/t Au (May 7, 2025).
  • Mulgabbie Hotel: North of Cross Fault, possibly near MP-14 or Jack’s Show, with historical potential.
  • The map’s historic occurrences (yellow dots) validate the 3km RAB anomaly (Gutnick 1999) and suggest untapped zones (e.g., Mulgabbie Queen, MP-14).

4. Central Anomaly and Granite Influence

• Observation: The Central Anomaly northeast of Mulgabbie North, near the Galvalley Granite Pluton, shows a magnetic high, possibly indicating a mineralizing intrusive source.
• Relevance: The December 2022 announcement (web ID: 21) and May 2025 discussion (web ID: 14) note hematite alteration from magnetite, suggesting proximity to an intrusive complex. This aligns with porphyry units at Cross Fault and Mulgabbie West (COLC2: 16m @ 3.1 g/t Au), supporting deeper targets (200–300m) and our speculative 3–5Moz potential.

Conclusion

The map highlights the Relief Shear as a mineralized corridor linking Carosue Dam’s Whirling Dervish and Karari to Mulgabbie North’s Cross Fault, Golden Goose, and other prospects, with fault offsets and granite intrusions (Central Anomaly) indicating a district-scale system. This supports OZM’s drilling strategy (RC at Cross Fault, Golden Goose, Mulgabbie West; AC at MP-14, Jack’s Show) and an MRE potential of 1.6–2.6Moz (up to 3–5Moz speculative). The map validates the geological model and enhances M&A appeal (e.g., Northern Star).

Interpretation and Relevance to OZM’s Mulgabbie North

1. Soil Geochemistry and Gold Anomalies

• Observation: The map shows a strong north-south trending gold-in-soil anomaly along the Relief Shear, with red zones (200+ ppb) concentrated between ~6656000N and 6662000N (local grid ~6000N–7500N). These anomalies extend westward into the felsic domain, with lower values (blue/green, 0–50 ppb) in the mafic east.
• Relevance: The high-grade soil anomalies align with known mineralization zones:
  • Cross Fault (6900N–7300N): The red zone at ~6658000N–6660000N (6900N–7300N) correlates with recent AC/RC intercepts (e.g., 6m @ 1.54 g/t Au, May 30, 2025) and diamond drilling (138m EOH, May 7, 2025). This confirms the felsic-mafic contact as a primary mineralized horizon.
  • Golden Goose (5875N): The southern red anomaly (~6655000N) matches Golden Goose’s 10m @ 0.90 g/t Au (May 7, 2025) and historical RAB anomalies (1,600m x 200m, Burdekin 1999).
  • Demag Zone/Alicia (7300N–8500N): The northern red zone (~6662000N–6665000N) aligns with Demag Zone’s 2.8km strike (December 2022) and the 260,000 oz MRE (web ID: 0).
  • The westward extension suggests a low-grade halo (200–300m, May 2025), potentially linking to Mulgabbie West (9950N).

2. Drill Hole Distribution and High-Grade Intercepts

• Observation: RC and AC drill holes are clustered along the Relief Shear, with some marked >15 g/t m (e.g., red/yellow outlined dots at ~6658000N–6660000N, Cross Fault area). Yellow AC dots (e.g., May 30, 2025) are more numerous, reflecting shallow coverage (28m average).
• Relevance:
  • Cross Fault: High-grade RC holes (e.g., MNORC220: 2m @ 22.58 g/t m) and AC results (6m @ 1.54 g/t Au) validate the soil anomaly, supporting our RC target range (6500N–7600N).
  • Demag Zone: AC holes (e.g., MNOAC 523: 4m @ 1.47 g/t Au) and historical RC (e.g., PINC18–19, Gutnick 2000) align with the northern anomaly, reinforcing our 7300N–8500N extension.
  • Golden Goose: Sparse drilling (e.g., MNORC257) suggests untapped potential, with the southern anomaly guiding our 5875N–6500N target.
  • The >15 g/t m markers indicate high-grade shoots, supporting our feeder zone hypothesis (7075N–7100N, 92–98% likelihood).

3. Felsic-Mafic Contact and Structural Controls

• Observation: The gold anomaly is strongest in the felsic volcaniclastic domain (west of the Relief Shear), with a sharp transition to the mafic east, where anomalies weaken.
• Relevance: The May 2025 geological discussion (web ID: 14) identifies sandstone (felsic) as the dominant host, with the Relief Shear contact controlling mineralization. The map’s anomaly pattern mirrors this, with fault offsets (NE faults, Gutnick 1999) driving westward dispersion (e.g., Mulgabbie West). This supports our structural trap model (north-south fault, NE faults) and OZM’s fieldwork plan (May 2025) to locate north-south faults.

4. Implications for Trial Heap Leach and Resource Potential

• Observation: The anomaly’s 2–3km strike (6655000N–6662000N) and westward extent suggest a larger mineralized footprint than the current 260,000 oz MRE.

Relevance:

• Drilling Targets: The anomaly guides RC targets (e.g., 6500N–7600N, 5875N, 7300N–8500N) and AC retesting (e.g., MP-14, Jack’s Show), aligning with the May 30 walk-up starts.

Conclusion

The soil geochemistry map (Figure 5) highlights a 2–3km gold-in-soil anomaly along the Relief Shear within M28/240, peaking at 200+ ppb, correlating with Cross Fault, Golden Goose, and Demag Zone. The felsic-mafic contact drives mineralization, with fault offsets and porphyry influence (e.g., Mulgabbie West) enhancing potential. This supports OZM’s RC/AC targets, the May–June 2026 trial heap leach timeline, and an MRE growth to 1.6–2.6Moz (3–5Moz speculative), aligning with Carosue Dam’s regional context.

Mulgabbie North Prospects

• Observation: Mulgabbie North, Mulgabbie Hotel, and Golden Goose are within the tenement outline, with historic gold mines (yellow dots) scattered along the Relief Shear.
• Relevance: These prospects match our drilling targets:
  • Cross Fault (6900N–7300N): Central high-grade zone, with AC/RC results (May 30, 2025) and diamond drilling (May 7, 2025) aligning with felsic volcaniclastic units.
  • Golden Goose (5875N): Southern prospect, with 10m @ 0.90 g/t Au (May 7, 2025) in felsic volcaniclastic rocks.
  • Mulgabbie Hotel: North of Cross Fault, possibly near MP-14 or Jack’s Show, with historical potential.
  • The historic mines (e.g., M28/364, 7,706 oz, 1904–1915) indicate early mineralization, supporting our 889,000–1,139,000 oz estimate for Relief Shear prospects.

Conclusion

The geological map (Figure 3) depicts the Relief Shear as a north-south fault linking Carosue Dam’s Whirling Dervish and Karari to Mulgabbie North’s Cross Fault, Golden Goose, and Demag Zone, with felsic volcaniclastic and conglomerate units hosting gold. Fault offsets and granite intrusions (west of Carosue Dam) indicate a district-scale system, supporting OZM’s RC/AC targets, the May–June 2026 trial heap leach timeline, and an MRE potential of 1.6–2.6Moz (3–5Moz speculative). This aligns with the soil geochemistry map (Figure 5).

Description of the Map

The map is a detailed geological representation of the central and historic Mulgabbie area, derived from OZM’s exploration data and historical records. Key elements include:

• Geographical Coordinates:
  • Northing (y-axis): ~6655000N to 6665000N (AMG or GDA94, Zone 51).
  • Easting (x-axis): ~443500E to 445000E.

• Relevance:
  • The May 2025 discussion (web ID: 14) identifies sandstone (felsic volcaniclastic) as the dominant host at Cross Fault, with conglomerate (basinal) at Demag Zone (120m thick, December 2022). The map confirms this dual host system, with felsic units hosting high-grade zones (e.g., Cross Fault’s 22.58 g/t Au) and conglomerate providing bulk tonnage (e.g., 260,000 oz MRE at James/Ben/Alicia).
  • The westward granite influence suggests a mineralizing intrusive source, supporting hematite alteration (December 2022) and our 3–5Moz speculative potential.

3. RC Drilling and High-Grade Intercepts

• Observation: RC drill holes are clustered along the Relief Shear, with red-outlined dots (>5m @ 2 g/t Au) at Mulgabbie North and Golden Goose. The Golden Goose intercept (5m @ 2.4 g/t Au) is a standout.
• Relevance:
  • Cross Fault (6900N–7300N): The red-outlined dots at Mulgabbie North align with recent high-grade results (e.g., MNORC220: 2m @ 22.58 g/t m, May 30, 2025), confirming the felsic volcaniclastic host’s potential. This supports our RC target range (6500N–7600N).
  • Golden Goose (5875N): The 5m @ 2.4 g/t Au intercept exceeds prior RC (10m @ 0.90 g/t Au, May 7, 2025), indicating higher-grade potential south of Cross Fault. This validates our southern extension target (5875N–6500N).
  • Other Prospects: Mulgabbie Hotel, Perseverance, and Haydens show RC activity, suggesting untapped zones along the shear, aligning with MP-14 and Jack’s Show targets.

4. Historic Gold Occurrences

• Observation: Yellow dots (historic gold occurrences) are scattered along the Relief Shear, including Mulgabbie North, Mulgabbie Hotel, and Golden Goose.
• Relevance: These align with historical production (e.g., M28/364, 7,706 oz, 1904–1915) and Gutnick’s 3km RAB anomaly (1999). They support our estimate of 889,000–1,139,000 oz from Relief Shear prospects, with high-grade potential driving the 1.6–2.6Moz exploration target.

Implications for OZM’s Strategy

• Drilling Locations (June 2025 Visualization):
  • The map reinforces our RC targets (Cross Fault, Golden Goose, Demag Zone, Mulgabbie West) and AC targets (MP-14, Jack’s Show), with MG6/7 and MG4/5 likely along the shear (e.g., 6500N–7800N). The RC >5m @ 2 g/t Au at Golden Goose guides the southern extension.
  • Rationale: The fault network and lithological units align with AC walk-up starts (May 30, 2025) and historical data (e.g., Gutnick’s RC), supporting the 1.6–2.6Moz target.
• Trial Heap Leach Timeline (May–June 2026):
  • The map’s geological continuity (felsic volcaniclastic, conglomerate) and Carosue Dam proximity support a scalable heap leach operation. The 88–89% recovery (February 2023) applies to these units, reinforcing our timeline from the feasibility study (due September 2025) to commissioning (April 2026) and testing (May 2026).
• MRE and Exploration Target:
  • The map’s 2–3km mineralized trend within M28/240, combined with the Relief Shear’s 8km strike, supports our 1.6–2.6Moz exploration target (32–62Mt at 1.2–1.7 g/t Au). The high-grade RC intercepts (>5m @ 2 g/t Au) suggest 3–5Moz potential if deeper zones are confirmed.

Alignment with Prior Maps and Analyses

• Figure 9 (Mineralised Structures): The Relief Shear’s fault network and Carosue Dam link are consistent, with the current map adding RC detail.
• Figure 5 (Soil Geochemistry): The 2–3km gold-in-soil anomaly (6656000N–6662000N) aligns with RC >5m @ 2 g/t Au zones, reinforcing Cross Fault and Golden Goose targets.
• Figure 3 (Regional Geology): The synclinal structure and lithological units match, with this map providing local RC data to refine drilling.

Conclusion

The geological map (Figure 8) depicts the Relief Shear as a north-south fault hosting felsic volcaniclastic and conglomerate units at Mulgabbie North, Golden Goose, and Mulgabbie Hotel, with RC intercepts (>5m @ 2 g/t Au) confirming high-grade potential. Faults and historic occurrences support OZM’s RC/AC targets (Cross Fault, Golden Goose, Demag Zone, Mulgabbie West, MP-14, Jack’s Show) and an MRE potential of 1.6–2.6Moz (3–5Moz speculative). This aligns with regional Carosue Dam geology, enhancing M&A appeal.
