Update on Exploration Activity

  • In Serbia, drilling is ongoing at the Borsko license (Figure 1) which is sole-funded by Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (“JOGMEC”); this drill program of approximately 5,000 m aims to test:
    • Target 1: lateral extension of the alteration and mineralisation intersected in drill hole 17-BJ-11 (15m @ 1.04 g/t Au and 6.9 g/t Ag) further to the east-northeast towards what has now been identified as IP chargeability anomaly;
    • Target 5: a new target identified to test a shallower and stronger IP chargeability anomaly coincident with magnetic low anomaly at favorable structural intersection located 1,500 m north-northeast of Target 1; and
    • Additional targets: identified by both structural interpretation and geophysical programs using CSAMT, ground magnetics, IP-Resistivity and gravity.

  • In Bulgaria, drilling has been ongoing at the Saje Project, which is sole-funded by a Private Mining Company; approximately 1,000 meters has been completed in three drill holes with assays pending.

  • In Serbia, Mundoro and Freeport-McMoran Exploration Corporation (“Freeport”) are at the planning stage for a field program to commence in Q4-2018 on the Freeport-Mundoro JV Project (Figure 1) which will be sole-funded by Freeport.
     
  • In Serbia, Mundoro has completed follow up geochemical analysis and ground geophysical surveys to further define the prospective targets on the Sumrakovac and Osnic licenses (Figure 1).  Mundoro is planning for a small drill program on the Osnic license in Q4-2018 in order to upgrade the targets.

Update on Third Party Discussions

Mundoro has entered into the following transactions for its licenses in Serbia and Bulgaria:

  • an earn-in agreement with JOGMEC in which Mundoro has granted to JOGMEC an earn-in option on four of Mundoro’s Serbian exploration licenses: Dubrava, Padina, Borsko Jezero and Zeleznik located within the northern portion of the Timok Magmatic Complex in northeastern Serbia. 
  • an earn-in agreement with Freeport, in which Mundoro has granted to Freeport an earn-in option on two of Mundoro’s Serbian exploration licenses: Savinac and Bacevica located within the southern portion of the Timok Magmatic Complex in northeastern Serbia.  The earn-in agreement transaction with Freeport is subject to closing conditions as outlined in Mundoro’s press release dated July 30, 2018.
  • an option agreement with a Private Mining Company on Mundoro’s Saje Project located within the Zvezda license in southeastern Bulgaria.
