Shallow high-grade gold expands Eagles Nest
•
Assay results from a Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program at the Eagles Nest gold deposit expand
the resource potential with multiple shallow high-grade intersections, including:
o
10m @ 2.24g/t Au from 37m, incl. 2m @ 2.71g/t Au from 38m and 3m @ 3.88g/t Au from 44m
(MXENRC059)
o
7m @ 2.01g/t Au from 22m, incl. 3m @ 3.21g/t Au from 26m (MXENRC058)
o
8m @ 1.73g/t Au from 44m, incl. 4m @ 2.71g/t Au from 44m (MXENRC062)
o
1m @ 0.88g/t Au from 73m, 5m @ 1.87g/t Au from 77m, incl. 2m @ 3.05g/t Au from 78m and
1m @ 1.29g/t Au from 85m (MXENRC054)
o
4m @ 1.03g/t Au from 74m and 1m @ 0.73g/t Au from 83m (MXENRC056)
•
Shallow mineralisation in previously untested areas, combined with lateral extensions beyond the
existing mineral resource model, highlights the potential for further resource growth.
•
Preliminary metallurgical results confirm the 42,500oz @ 2.0g/t Au Eagles Nest gold resource is freemilling (non-refractory) suitable for conventional gold processing as found throughout Western
Australia’s Eastern Goldfields.
•
Eagles Nest is located on granted tenements, with excellent access to infrastructure and multiple tolltreatment options within a 60km haulage radius.
Maximus Resources Limited (‘Maximus’ or the ‘Company’, ASX:MXR) is pleased to update shareholders on assay
results received from a completed Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program at the Eagles Nest gold deposit (Eagles
Nest), located ~7km south of the Company’s Wattle Dam Gold Project, in Western Australia Eastern Goldfields
Kambalda / Widgiemooltha region.
Eleven RC holes (732m) were drilled at Eagles Nest, targeting shallow mineralisation within an optimised pit shell to
confirm legacy drilling and target areas with no defined mineral resources (Figure 1). Additionally, three scout RC
holes (228m) were completed at anomalies defined by rock chip sampling within the ~3 km-long Eagle's Nest–
Groundlark gold corridor. Recent rock chip sampling by Maximus in this area returned gold grades of up to 9.8g/t
Au (ASX announcement 15 May 2024).
The identification of shallow high-grade mineralisation above the current resource block model at Eagles Nest is a
highly encouraging development. These results highlight the potential for an uplift in the resource base, with
mineralisation extending closer to the surface, offering the possibility of greatly enhancing the economic viability of
the project.
The intersections, such as 7m @ 2.0 g/t Au (including 3m @ 3.2 g/t Au) and 10m @ 2.2 g/t Au (including 2m @ 2.7
g/t Au and 3m @ 3.9 g/t Au), reinforce the prospectivity of the deposit and provide strong justification for further
exploration. Importantly, the free-milling, shallow nature of the mineralisation positions Eagles Nest as a low-cost
development opportunity with the potential for expedited mining scenarios.

EAGLES NEST GOLD DEPOSIT
Eagles Nest (100% MXR) is located ~7km south of the Company’s Wattle Dam Gold Project. The 42,550oz @ 2.0g/t
Au Eagles Nest gold resource is associated with structurally controlled contacts between east-dipping maficultramafic lithologies and an adjacent interflow metasedimentary unit. The mineralisation trends north-south
(Figure 1), extending over a strike length of over 300m and dips eastward at around 70°, with a true thickness of
up to 14m. The mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike, with over 3km of known gold mineralisation
and rock chips up to 9.8g/t Au.
The latest drilling phase focused on a shallow up-plunge zone of Eagles Nest in a previously untested area (Figure
2), where no mineral resource has been defined. Recent drilling by Maximus confirmed mineralisation in this region
(ASX:MXR Announcement 15 May 2024). The current program systematically reduced drill spacings to 20m, with all
holes successfully intersecting shallow mineralisation. Key intercepts include:
•
•
•
•
•
10m @ 2.24g/t Au from 37m, incl. 2m @ 2.71g/t Au from 38m and 3m @ 3.88g/t Au from 44m
(MXENRC059)
7m @ 2.01g/t Au from 22m, incl. 3m @ 3.21g/t Au from 26m (MXENRC058)

The latest drill results confirm the continuity and grade of mineralisation above the existing mineral resource block
model (Figure 3). Drill hole MXENRC059 intersected 10m @ 2.24g/t Au from 37m, incl. 2m @ 2.71g/t Au from 38m
and 3m @ 3.88g/t Au from 44m, while MXENRC058 7m @ 2.01g/t Au from 22m, incl. 3m @ 3.21g/t Au from 26m.
Furthermore, drill hole MXENRC054, located 40m along strike to the south of the current resource boundary,
intersected 1m @ 0.88g/t Au from 73m, 5m @ 1.87g/t Au from 77m, incl. 2m @ 3.05g/t Au from 78m and 1m @
1.29g/t Au from 85m. These results confirm that mineralisation remains open to the south, with shallow high-grade
gold present (Figure 2).
The ~3km-long Eagle's Nest–Groundlark gold corridor remains largely underexplored, with only several wide-spaced
shallow RAB drill traverses revealing broad zones of gold mineralisation. Building on this, Maximus targeted
anomalies defined by rock chip sampling along this corridor (Figure 4), returning highly encouraging results:
•
•
•
MXENRC063: 1m @ 1.12g/t Au from 15m, located ~1km north of the Eagles Nest.
GERC001: 2m @ 0.83g/t Au from 58m, located ~1km south of the Eagles Nest.
GERC002: 8m @ 0.76g/t Au from 44m, located ~1.3km south of the Eagles Nest.
The findings are highly encouraging as they demonstrate an extensive, highly anomalous bedrock gold trend within
the Eagles Nest–Groundlark corridor. This supports the potential for significant mineralisation along strike and
warrants systematic drilling to test for higher-grade zones and further delineate the extent of the mineralised
system.

of 1 in every 20.
Sampling protocols and QAQC are as per industry best
practice procedures.
RC samples are appropriate for use in a Resource
Estimate.
Samples were sent to Intertek in Kalgoorlie, crushed
to 10mm, dried and pulverised (total prep) in LM5
units (Some samples > 3kg were split) to produce a
sub-sample for 50g fire assay.
Legacy drilling and sampling using RC, rotary air blast
(RAB) and aircore (AC) techniques.
Maximus drilling technique was Reverse Circulation
(RC). The RC hole diameter was 140mm face sampling
hammer. Hole depths reported range from 36m to
100m.
RC drill recoveries were high (>90%).
Samples were visually checked for recovery, moisture
and contamination and notes were made in the logs.
There is no observable relationship between recovery
and grade, and therefore no sample bias.
Logging information stored in the legacy database,
and collected in current drill programs includes
lithology, alteration, oxidation state, mineralisation,
alteration, structural fabrics, and veining.
The logged data comprises both qualitative
information (descriptions of various geological
features and units) and quantitative data (such as
structural orientations, vein and sulphide percentages,
magnetic susceptibility)
Photographs of the RC sample chip trays are taken to
complement the logging data.
RC samples were collected on a 1.0m basis from a
cone splitter mounted on the drill rig cyclone. The
1.0m sample mass is typically split to 3.0kg on
average. The cyclone was blown out and cleaned
after each 6 m drill rod to reduce contamination. •

control (QAQC) measures are employed involving
certified reference material (CRM) standard, blank and
field duplicate samples.
Duplicate samples were taken via a second chute on
the cone splitter. The duplicate samples were
observed to be of comparable size to the primary
samples. RC field duplicates were inserted in the
sample stream at a rate of 1:25.
After receipt of the samples by the independent
laboratory (Intertek Kalgoorlie) sample preparation
followed industry best practice. Samples were dried,
coarse crushing to ~10mm, followed by pulverisation
of the entire sample in an LM5 or equivalent
pulverising mill to a grind size of 85% passing 75
microns.
The sample sizes are considered adequate for the
material being sampled.
Maximus samples were submitted to Intertek in
Kalgoorlie for sample preparation i.e. drying and
crushing where necessary.
Samples were then transported to Intertek in Perth for
analysis.
Samples were analysed for Au using a 50g charge
lead collection fire assay method with ICP-OES.
This methodology is considered appropriate for the
mineralisation types at the exploration phase.

and blanks into the sample run at a frequency of
approximately 1 in 20. Field duplicates were collected
every 1 in 20 samples.
Internal laboratory control procedures involve
duplicate assaying of randomly selected assay pulps
as well as internal laboratory standards. All of these
data are reported to the Company and analysed for
consistency and any discrepancies.
Significant intersections have been verified for the
current program by Maximus employees.
No adjustments were made to assay data.
Once data is finalised it is transferred to a database.
Templates have been set up to facilitate geological
logging. Prior to the import into the central database
managed by CSA Global, logging data is validated for
conformity and overall systematic compliance by the
geologist.
Geological descriptions were entered directly onto
standard logging sheets, using standardized geological
codes.
Assay results are received from the laboratory in
digital format. CSA Global manage Maximus
Resource’s database and receive raw assay from
Intertek.
Maximus Resources utilizes handheld GPS to initially
locate drill collars. Subsequently, a qualified surveyor
is employed to precisely determine the positions of
drill-hole collars. This is achieved through the use of a
differential global positioning system (DGPS) or real-

Azimuth and dip directions down the hole are
collected using a north-seeking gyro.
All the data collected is stored in a grid system known
as GDA/MGA94 zone 51.
The topography of the project area and mined open
pit is accurately defined by DGPS collar pick-ups and
historical monthly survey pickups.
Angled drilling (-60 towards 270o) tested the
interpreted east dipping mineralisation.
Drill holes are spaced at approximately 20m intervals
along 20m spaced section lines.
1m RC samples through the entire hole were sent to
the laboratory for analysis.
Drilling is designed to cross the mineralisation as close
to perpendicular as possible. Most drill holes are
designed at a dip of approximately -60 degrees.
No orientation-based sampling bias is known at this
time.
Sample security is managed by the Company. After
preparation in the field samples are packed into
polyweave bags and despatched to the laboratory by
MXR employees.
No audits have yet been completed.

The Spargoville Project is located in the Coolgardie
Domain within the Kalgoorlie Terrane of the Archaean
Yilgarn Craton.
The greenstone stratigraphy of the Kalgoorlie Terrane
can be divided into three main units: (1)
predominantly mafic to ultramafic units of the
Kambalda Sequence, these units include the Lunnon
Basalt, Kambalda Komatiite, Devon Consols Basalt,
and Paringa Basalt; (2) intermediate to felsic
volcaniclastic sequences of the Kalgoorlie Sequence,
represented by the Black Flag Group and (3)
siliciclastic packages of the late basin sequence
known as the Merougil Beds.
The Paringa Basalt, or Upper Basalt, is less developed
within the Coolgardie Domain, but similar mafic
volcanic rocks with comparable chemistry are found
in the Wattle Dam area. Slices of the Kambalda
Sequence referred to as the Burbanks and Hampton
Formations, are believed to represent thrust slices
within the Kalgoorlie Sequence.
Multiple deformational events have affected the
Kalgoorlie Terrane, with at least five major regional
deformational eve
