Jap Metals Ltd (ASX:EMS) (“Jap Metals” or “the Firm”) is happy to announce that latest fieldwork applications throughout the 100%-owned EL6321, a part of its Browns Reef Venture (Determine 1), situated within the southern Cobar Basin of NSW, have recognized new zones of anomalous base metallic mineralisation within the northern portion of the mission space.
- Assay outcomes from latest fieldwork applications to the north of identified high-grade mineralisation on the Browns Reef Venture in NSW’s southern Cobar Basin have returned extremely anomalous grades from floor rock chip samples.
- Mapping and pXRF traverses alongside the Woorara Fault, a regional-scale construction associated to identified mineralisation on the high-grade Pineview and Evergreen zones, have recognized new anomalous zones north and south of Evergreen, which have been named ‘Kelpie Hill’ and ‘Windmill Dam’ respectively.
- Planning is underway to replace and prolong the prevailing drilling approvals for Evergreen to incorporate these prospects, together with an Induced Polarisation (IP) survey.
- Three land entry agreements have now been secured for EL9136 (Bothrooney), with reconnaissance fieldwork on this tenement scheduled for mid-June 2024.
The fieldwork applications had been accomplished in April 2024 and Could 2024 and targeted on the Woorara Fault, to the north of the identified high-grade Pineview and Evergreen zones at Browns Reef1. A JORC Desk 1 is offered at Appendix A.
Commenting on the outcomes, Jap Metals’ Chief Govt Officer Ley Kingdom mentioned: “These are extremely encouraging preliminary outcomes from our fieldwork applications, which have confirmed the power of mapping and soil pXRF evaluation to determine geochemical tendencies inside EL6321.
“What’s much more encouraging is that these applications have highlighted new anomalous areas alongside the potential Woorara Fault. These new areas embody Kelpie Hill and Windmill Dam, situated to the north and south of the identified high-grade mineralisation zone at Evergreen.
“Kelpie Hill and Windmill Dam can be high-priority goal areas for upcoming exploration applications, with IP surveys and drilling deliberate to check whether or not these signify a steady zone of mineralisation between Pineview and Evergreen, and probably, a northern extension of Evergreen.”

EL6321 Browns Reef Overview
Browns Reef (EL6321) is an ‘superior exploration mission’ situated 5km west of Lake Cargelligo within the southern Cobar Basin, NSW. It’s a structurally managed, polymetallic system extending alongside the inferred Woorara Fault and the Preston Formation and Clements Formation contact.
Fieldwork inside EL6321 was undertaken in April 2024 and targeted on the world between the Lachlan Valley Method Highway and the North Uabba Highway. This system was geared toward floor truthing and, the place potential, including to the auger and rotary air blast (RAB) gap information and geological mapping initially acquired by the Electrolytic Zinc Firm of Australasia Ltd (EZ) within the Seventies.
Most paddocks within the space have been cropped or cultivated at some stage and outcrop is uncommon; nonetheless, gossanous materials is usually evident in stone raked piles all through the whole strike size of the inferred Woorara Fault and Preston-Clements contact, defining a north-northwest trending zone.
As well as, floor reconnaissance revealed that gossanous float materials was typically current scattered alongside the approximate pattern of the inferred mineralised zone; it’s believed that vital displacement of this float as a result of farm actions has not taken place. In whole, 28 samples of gossanous rock materials had been collected for assaying, comprising a median of 1-2kg per pattern from a number of items of floor float.
A second area journey was performed in mid-Could 2024 utilising a SciAps X555 transportable X-ray fluorescence analyser (pXRF) to conduct soil readings each 10 metres alongside east-west traverses. Line spacing was knowledgeable based mostly on real-time outcomes and the day gone by’s visible evaluation of geochemical dispersion of lead. This system was used to check the pXRF capabilities for detecting lead in soils and figuring out geochemical tendencies throughout the completely different lithologies at Browns Reef.
The Tertiary basalt protection inside EL6321 is a substantial masking lithology that probably covers parts of the northern extension of the Browns Reef mineralisation. The pXRF demonstrated that soil anomalism of lead (Pb) and arsenic (As) had been readily traceable inside the soil profiles and reducing Pb outcomes might successfully map out the basalt and Clements Formation contact zones. Rock chip samples paired with the pXRF readings had been in a position to distinguish additional potential zones to the south and north of the Evergreen deposit.
Of specific word are two new potential areas now designated “Kelpie Hill” and “Windmill Dam”. Kelpie Hill is situated roughly 700 metres to the northwest of Evergreen, and Windmill Dam is 500 metres to the southeast.
