Significant Drill Target Identified for Nickel at Fraser Range

Microsoft Word - AON-20160412_Drilling targets at Plato_FINAL

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 26 APRIL 2016

SIGNIFICANT DRILL TARGET IDENTIFIED FOR NICKEL AT FRASER RANGE

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Significant nickel drill target confirmed along strike from Nova nickel mine

  • Untested by previous drilling

    • Application for EIS co‐funding submitted

    • Further funding from Research and Development tax rebate

      Apollo Minerals Ltd (ASX: AON) ("Apollo" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that a significant drilling target has been confirmed at the Company's 70% owned Fraser Range Nickel Project in Western Australia.

      On 1 March 2016 the Company announced that three bedrock conductors had been identified from recent inversion and 3D modelling of moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) data by Computational Geoscience Inc in Canada. Planning for a drill program has confirmed that one of the conductors (Conductor A) is evident across multiple datasets and represents a significant nickel sulphide drill target.

      The target conductor (A), see Figures 1 and 2, dips steeply to the east and is spatially associated with the most magnetic part of a 3D magnetic inversion model.

      Anomalous surface soil geochemistry and adjacent drill holes reporting significant nickel intersections support the Company's interpretation that the conductor is related to nickel sulphide mineralization.

      The Company was previously successful in obtaining a DMP co‐funding grant to drill test the Oceanus prospect. The newly identified Plato target is a higher priority for the Company and it is considered more appropriate to allocate funds to Plato at this time. The Company recently submitted an application for Round 13 co‐funding with the Department of Mines and Petroleum and will advise when and if the grant is approved. In addition, the Company expects a further $130,000 to be received shortly in respect of a Research and Development tax rebate. Apollo will schedule drilling of the Plato target once the co‐funding application is approved.

      In conjunction with Australian and overseas exploration work, Apollo is continuing to review proposals for new opportunities and will provide an update when an appropriate transaction is identified.

      ABOUT APOLLO MINERALS

      Apollo Minerals Ltd (ASX code: AON) is a minerals explorer and developer with projects focused in South Australia and Western Australia.

      In Australia, Apollo has two projects in areas which host world class deposits:

    • South Australian IOCG and gold project in Gawler Craton, and

    • Western Australian nickel project in Fraser Range Province.

    • In South Australia, the Titan Base‐Precious Metals project is situated close to existing infrastructure including the Darwin‐Adelaide railway line, highway and ports. Exploration is focused on discovering a major IOCG deposit in a new frontier of the world‐class Gawler Craton. This project consists of:

  • Commonwealth Hill Project JV (Apollo 100% interest)

  • Eaglehawk JV (Apollo earning an interest through farm‐in)

  • Aurora Tank JV (Apollo 25%, earning an interest through farm‐in )

In Western Australia, Apollo acquired a 70% interest in the Orpheus JV project in the Fraser Range, Western Australia from Enterprise Metals Ltd (ASX: ENT). Under the agreement Enterprise will be free carried until Apollo delivers a Bankable Feasibility Study for a mining area. Apollo is actively seeking to discover massive Ni‐Cu sulphide mineralisation within an emerging world class, nickel province.

In the Fraser Range of Western Australia, Apollo is exploring for 'Nova style' nickel deposits within the high density Fraser Zone representing the mafic‐ultramafic Fraser Complex.
