The mineral tenements of the Company as described in this Presentation (Tenements) are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of economic ore deposits.

WEX 2017 2 WEX Company Outline Woomera Exploration Limited Woomera Exploration Limited (WEX) is an unlisted Australian Exploration Company based in Adelaide South Australia. WEX expects to successfully list on the ASX by February 2018. WEX has an extensive tenement portfolio covering 9 tenements in the Gawler Craton and Musgrave Block of South Australia that are highly prospective for IOCGU deposits (iron-oxide- copper-gold-uranium), copper- nickel deposits (Nebo Babel type), precious metal deposits and rare earth mineral deposits. Much of WEX’s ground has historically fallen under the Woomera Prohibited Area – a huge area of South Australia quarantined for military purposes for over fifty years and only recently opened up for mineral exploration. The area and near surrounds host some of the World’s great mineral deposits. In addition WEX has an extensive lithium tenement portfolio consisting of eight granted tenements and two tenement applications over ground near Pilgangoora (129Mt hard rock spodumene resource), Mt Cattlin (9.9 Mt @ 1.1% Li2O and 149 ppm Ta2O5) and several prospective lithium brine prospects throughout Western Australia.

  • A Case Study of Newmont Boddington Gold Mine in Western Australia
    Mine Closure 2012 — A.B. Fourie and M. Tibbett (eds) © 2012 Australian Centre for Geomechanics, Perth, ISBN 978-0-9870937-0-7 doi:10.36487/ACG_rep/1208_24_Amoah Long term closure planning for an evolving mine site – a case study of Newmont Boddington Gold Mine in Western Australia K. De Sousa Newmont Asia Pacific, Australia N. Amoah Newmont Asia Pacific, Australia Abstract Newmont Boddington Gold (NBG) mine is located 12 km northwest of the town of Boddington and about 120 km southeast of Perth in Western Australia (WA). Open pit mining of an oxide gold resource commenced at the operations in 1987. In 2008, NBG undertook an expansion program to increase future gold production to one million ounces per annum, potentially becoming the largest gold mine in Australia. Critical to the life cycle of such a large mining operation is the need to ensure that mine closure is well planned in advance and consistently managed throughout operation to minimise future liabilities. For example, the large quantities of waste (waste rock estimated to be over one billion tonnes over the life of the mine), vast open pits and areas for tailings storage and site operational facilities, geographically and ecologically sensitive location and socio-economic issues will all become significant legacy factors during mine closure and post closure stages. To mitigate closure liabilities, Newmont’s internal guidelines have strict requirements for the development and review of closure plans at all stages of mine life with annual analyses of closure liability costs. This is to ensure consistency with life of mine (LOM) plans, changes in operations, stakeholder expectations, regulatory requirements etc.

  • Boddington Gold Mine - Extended Basement Operation and Changes to Existing Environmental Conditions
    Boddington gold mine - Extended basement operation and changes to existing environmental conditions Worsley Alumina Pty Ltd Report and recommendations of the Environmental Protection Authority Environmental Protection Authority Perth, Western Australia Bulletin 850 April 1997 ISBN. 0 7309 8027 8 ISSN. 1030 - 0120 Summary This report is to provide Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) advice and recommendations to the Minister for the Environment on the environmental factors relevant to a proposal by Worsley Alumina Ply Ltd (Worsley), through the Boddington Gold Mine (BGM) joint venture, to modify the approvals relating to the company's existing mining operations and to mine basement ore in the same location as Worsley's Boddington Gold Mine. The proposal envisages substantial extension of basement ore mining, the mining of minor oxide ore deposits outside the existing mining area, the construction of an additional residue disposal area, an increase in ore processing and the release of excess water to the Hotham River and Thirty-Four Mile Brook. It is the EPA's opinion that the following are the environmental factors relevant to the proposal: a) declared rare flora, priority flora and vegetation communities; b) threatened fauna, specially protected fauna and priority fauna; c) water resource quality; d) water resource quantity; e) gaseous emissions including greenhouse gases and odours; f) System 6 recommendation area C42 (Duncan MPA); g) landform; and h) mechanisms for environmental management. The EPA is of the view that the proposal should be subject to the environmental conditions which cunently apply to the existing gold mine except where the following recommendations or procedures supersede those conditions.

  • Decoding Mafic Dykes in Southern Yilgarn and East Antarctica: Implications for the Supercontinent Cycle
    Faculty of Science and Engineering School of Earth and Planetary Sciences Decoding Mafic Dykes in Southern Yilgarn and East Antarctica: Implications for the Supercontinent Cycle Jutta Camilla Stark This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University November 2018 DECLARATION To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. The author acknowledges that copyright of published works contained within this thesis resides with the copyright holder(s) of those works.

Mafic dykes also provide important targets for paleomagnetic studies and act as barcodes in paleogeographic reconstructions. Their utility is often hampered by the lack of high precision geochronology because dating mafic rocks can be difficult due to their mineralogy. This PhD study applies a two-step U-Pb geochronology technique to date suboptimal samples and presents the discoveries of three previously unknown mafic dykes swarms in southwestern Yilgarn Craton and the first U-Pb age for a mafic dyke swarm at Bunger Hills in East Antarctica.

  • Boddington Report
    SHIRE OF BODDINGTON SUB-REGIONAL ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS Shire of Boddington Sub-regional Economic Opportunity Analysis Executive Summary The Peel Regional Investment Framework sets out the vision, objectives and strategies for the Peel region to 2050. Identified within the Framework is the need for sub-regional economic analysis to aid sub-regions of the Peel to engage in innovation, economic diversification and to continue to meet the needs of a growing population. This report provides sub-regional data and preliminary economic opportunity analysis for the Shire of Boddington to aid in identifying specific opportunities for development in this locality and potential related projects across the region. Key Findings • Population & Demographics: While Boddington’s population has grown by roughly 28% over the last decade, resident numbers have been in decline since 2012. Boddington has a younger population compared to the wider region, with a median age of 39 (two years younger than the Peel average) and a higher instance of young families. By current growth rates Boddington’s population will increase by 25% in 2031, exceeding WAPC population projections. • Employment & Labour Force: Boddington is characterised by very low unemployment and healthy labour force participation. 80% of Boddington residents are employed within the Shire, this is partly attributable to a large percentage of Boddington residents being employed in the mining industry. The Mining and Construction industries provide 70% of all available jobs in the LGA, attracting residents of other localities to work in Boddington. A very high self-containment rate in Health Care implies there is a skills mismatch between the residents’ skills and available employment in this industry in the Shire.
