Maximus Resources Limited, (ASX: MXR) is pleased to announce that it has signed a 3 year Farm-in Agreement with Monax Alliance Pty Ltd (Alliance), a wholly owned subsidiary of Monax Mining Ltd, established as the vehicle for the Monax Antofagasta Alliance. The Farm-in Agreement details the guiding principles for both parties whilst Alliance undertakes exploration activities including drilling on the Millers Creek IOCG (Iron Oxide Copper Gold) Project located on the Gawler Craton region within the Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA) in South Australia.
The Alliance shall manage all exploration programs conducted during the farm-in period. Maximus will receive a further US$100,000 payment 12 months into the Farm-in period following signing of the farm-in agreement by both parties.
Following investigation of the South Australian Government supplied PACE 2020 gravity survey data, Alliance identified 6 target zones, of which 4 were subject to further due diligence in 2014. This work included ground reconnaissance, a ground gravity survey and a heli-mag survey, and identified a number of drill targets at Millers Creek. Alliance intends commencing its initial drilling program on the project's Oliffe's Dam target within the next "open" period of the Amber zone of the WPA. This drilling is scheduled to commence late in March 2015 with the initial hole planned to a depth of 1,200 metres, and expected to be completed within 4 weeks.
A second drill site has been selected and approvals received to facilitate further testing of the Oliffe's
Dam target, should results from the initial hole warrant.

Upon meeting the farm-in requirements within 3 years, the Alliance will have earned 80% equity in the new Joint venture (JV) covering the Millers Creek project. Each party is then required to contribute to ongoing JV expenditure once the JV is established or dilute its equity in the project. Should Maximus elect not to enter into the JV with Alliance, it can elect to sell its 20% share of the project to Alliance for US$4.5 million and retain a Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) of 2%.
If either party's equity reduces below 10%, the remaining equity will convert to a 2% NSR, which may
be purchased at any time up to a decision to mine for an agreed amount.
Should Alliance not meet the full US$3 million expenditure commitment within 3 years of signing the Farm-in Agreement, Alliance will hold zero equity in the project and Maximus retains 100% equity in the tenements.
The Millers Creek Project comprises 4 granted tenements, EL 4463, EL 4854, EL 4898 and EL 4899 that are owned 100% by Maximus and cover a total area of 2,342 sq km. The project area is located approximately 600km northwest of Adelaide, between BHP Billiton's Olympic Dam operation and Oz Minerals Prominent Hill operation.

Maximus is confident that the Farm-in Agreement provides the security and safeguards required for our shareholders should the project progress into a significant development.
