Extension Of Option Agreement for Eleonore North Gold
Project
GreenX Metals Limited (GreenX or the Company) advises that it has agreed
an extension of the Option Agreement (Agreement) with Greenfields Exploration
Pty Ltd (GEX), to acquire
up to 100% of the Eleonore North gold project (Eleonore North or the Project) in eastern Greenland, from
30 June 2024 to 15 July 2024, while GreenX and GEX negotiate to
vary the commercial terms of the Agreement.
As previously announced,
Eleonore North has the potential to host a reduced
intrusion-related gold system" (RIRGS), analogous to large bulk-tonnage
deposit types found in Canada including Donlin Creek, Fort Knox and
Dublin Gulch.
Gold mineralisation has been
documented at the high-priority Noa Pluton prospect within Eleonore
North including:
· Geophysical "bullseye" anomaly 6 km wide co-incident with
elevated gold mineralisation from historical geochemical
sampling.
· Anomalous gold mineralisation associated with quartz veining
exposed at surface over a length of up to 15 km.
·
Historical sampling includes 4
m chip sample grading 1.93 g/t Au and 1.9% Sb (refer to Appendix 1
of the Company's announcement on 10 July 2023).
Eleonore North has potential to host
large scale, shallow, bulk tonnage gold deposits. Eleonore North
remains underexplored, with the existence of a possible RIRGS being
a relatively new geological interpretation based on the historical
data. Initial field work consists of a seismic survey to determine
the depth from surface to the Noa Pluton to aid in drill
targeting.

The Eleonore North license area
contains other gold targets as well as copper, antimony and
tungsten prospects. At Holmesø there is copper and antimony
mineralisation outcropping at surface. Historical mapping and
sampling in the 1970s at Holmesø show a prospective horizon between
15 m and 20 m thick, with per cent level grades for both
metals.
Eleonore North provides GreenX with
gold exposure in Greenland and complements GreenX's existing
exploration prospect in Greenland, the ARC. There are significant
synergies with regards to personnel, logistics and equipment in
having multiple exploration projects in Greenland. Field works were
conducted during the 2023 field season at Eleonore North, with data
collected from the seismic survey presently being analysed to
inform follow-on exploration program design.
Greenland is a mining friendly
jurisdiction with strong Government support for expanding its
mining industry, simple laws and regulations, and a competitive
fiscal regime.
The primary target in Eleonore North
is the Noa Pluton, followed by the Holmesø prospect and its source
intrusion. The Noa Veins provide a near-term drill target,
however, the Company's 2023 field work was focussed on determining
the depth of the causative intrusion with greater precision using a
passive seismic survey. Once analysed, this information will
validate the magnetic interpretation, provide more certainty for a
future exploration program, and help identify the size of the
intrusion within the well-defined hornfels.
