URANIUM
Energy Metals
(Jindalee 6.7% of issued capital)
Jindalee holds approximately 14 million Energy Metals shares, giving Shareholders continued
exposure to the development of the Bigrlyi uranium‐vanadium deposit and the potential of Energy
Metals’ other uranium projects.
Energy Metals (ASX: EME) controls 8 projects (total area >4,000 km²) located in the Ngalia Basin in
the Northern Territory (NT) and in Western Australia (WA), with the majority of projects containing
uranium mineralization or defined resources. Exploration has largely been concentrated on the main
Bigrlyi Project in NT (53.3% owned by EME), where significant uranium resources have been defined
and a prefeasibility study completed. More recently, increasing attention has been turned to other
wholly‐owned prospects in the region, where there is demonstrated potential to define additional
Bigrlyi‐style resources.
At the end of the quarter, EME announced a maiden inferred mineral resource estimate for the
Karins uranium deposit (53.3% owned by the company). This deposit is located southeast of Bigrlyi
within the Ngalia Basin in a similar geological setting. At a 200ppm U3O8 lower grade cut‐off, the
deposit is estimated to contain 691 tonnes of uranium at an average grade of 556ppm U3O8. Details
of the resource estimate are available in EME’s original announcement1.
Further information on EME’s activities and current resource estimates can be found in EME’s ASX
announcements and on their website, www.energymetals.net
GOLD
Yilgangi
(Jindalee 20 % loan‐carried)
The Yilgangi project is located in the Eastern Goldfields, approximately 130 km northeast of
Kalgoorlie. Renaissance Minerals Limited (ASX: RNS) hold an 80% controlling interest in the Yilgangi
joint venture and are the project operators. Jindalee’s 20% participatory interest is loan‐carried
through to a Decision to Mine.
Renaissance’s efforts at Yilgangi are focused on the advanced Hobbes prospect, where previous
drilling by Newcrest established a more than three kilometre‐long zone of gold anomalism.
There were no significant developments over the quarter.
Alchemy Resources
(Jindalee 7.6% of issued capital)
Jindalee holds a significant equity interest in Alchemy Resources (ASX: ALY). This provides
Shareholders with exposure to Alchemy’s expanded portfolio of projects, including Alchemy’s
Gascoyne region gold and copper‐gold projects, located 130 km north of Meekatharra, WA.
Alchemy’s Bryah Basin copper project is located to the west of Sandfire Resources’ Doolgunna
project and covers the extensions of the Narracoota Volcanics, the unit which hosts Sandfire’s high
grade DeGrussa copper‐gold mine. Independence Group (ASX: IGO), a well‐regarded and successful
nickel, base metal and gold producer and explorer is farming into Alchemy’s base metal‐prospective
Bryah Basin tenements, committing to spend a minimum of $6.5M over a six year period in order to
2
earn an 80% interest, with Alchemy then free‐carried to completion of a Pre‐Feasibility Study and
interest‐free carried for a further $5M thereafter.
Late in the quarter, Alchemy announced that IGO had commenced a program of RC and diamond
drilling to test several discrete geophysical and geochemical targets at the Neptune prospect.
Alchemy also has a joint venture agreement in place with Northern Star Resources (ASX: NST), under
the terms of which NST is responsible for the ongoing exploration of the remaining Gascoyne project
tenements, not covered by the pre‐existing joint venture with IGO. This joint venture includes a
number of existing gold prospects and occurrences, as well as other areas considered prospective for
the discovery of further gold deposits.
Further information on Alchemy Resources activities can be found on their website,
www.alchemyresources.com.au.
Cardinia JV
(Jindalee 11% free carried)
Jindalee holds an 11% interest in a group of tenements at Cardinia, located 30 km east of Leonora.
The joint venture project forms part of Kin Mining NL’s recently acquired and extensive Leonora Gold
Project holdings. Jindalee’s interest in the Cardinia joint venture ground is free‐carried to completion
of a Bankable Feasibility Study.
There were no significant developments on the joint venture ground over the quarter.
IRON ORE
Joyners
(Jindalee 20% free carried)
The Joyners project is a joint venture with GWR Group Limited (formerly Golden West Resources
Limited) and forms a part of GWR’s much larger Wiluna West project. GWR has earned an 80%
interest in the joint venture tenements with Jindalee maintaining a 20% equity position, free‐carried
through to completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study. The joint venture tenements contain
published indicated and inferred iron oxide resources (Joyners North) estimated to total 7.2 million
tonnes at 63% iron.2,3
There were no significant developments on the joint venture ground over the quarter.
CORPORATE
At 30 June 2015, Jindalee held liquid assets (cash and shares) worth approximately $6.6M, including
$4.7M in cash. These assets, combined with our tight capital structure (34.8M shares on issue),
provide a strong base for leverage into new opportunities.
The acquisition of projects with the potential to transform the Company continues to be our ongoing
primary focus. Throughout the quarter, further advanced project opportunities, situated both within
Australia and in mining friendly overseas countries were examined, but none passed Jindalee’s strict
investment criteria.
3
The ongoing deterioration in the resources sector (during the period accounting firm BDO reported
that 43% of juniors listed on ASX have insufficient cash to survive more than two quarters at current
burn rates) has yielded a significant improvement in the quality of projects becoming available, further
increasing the prospect of acquiring a meaningful project on favourable terms in the near future.
