Company Summary

Aumega Metals Limited (ASX: AAM|TSXV: AUM|OTCQB: AUMMF) is an exploration and development company focused on discovering and developing high-grade gold and antimony resources in Newfoundland, Canada. The company boasts a district-scale land package along the Cape Ray Shear Zone (CRSZ), a proven multi-million-ounce gold structure that presents significant potential. Backed by a “blue-chip” shareholder register, led by B2Gold, and a top-tier management team with extensive exploration and development experience, AuMEGA is strategically positioned to deliver value through systematic exploration of its high-priority projects.

Cape Ray Gold Project (Au)

The Cape Ray Project is Aumega ’s flagship asset, located along the Cape Ray Shear Zone, known for its multi-million-ounce gold potential. The project hosts indicated resources of 6.2 Mt @ 2.25 g/t Au for 450 koz and inferred resources of 3.5 Mt @ 1.4 g/t Au for 160 koz. The resource remains open down-plunge and along strike, providing significant potential for future resource expansion. The project is strategically positioned with a pipeline of exploration targets, with ongoing diamond drilling expected to add further ounces to the resource base.

Significant intersections from a 2024 exploration program include:

Zone 04: 3.62 g/t Au over 7 metres including 19.7 g/t over one metre
Zone 41: 1.94 g/t Au over 7.5 metres and 5.74 g/t over one metre

Hermitage Gold-Antimony Project (Au, Sb)

The Hermitage Project, located on the Hermitage Flexure, hosts one of the largest antimony anomalies in Newfoundland. This project is highly prospective for gold and antimony, with geological features akin to major global deposits such as Bendigo and Fosterville. Early-stage exploration has returned multi-gram gold values from surface samples, including 7.31 g/t Au and 2.15 g/t Au, while significant antimony pathfinders have been identified. The company plans to initiate a major drill program in 2025 to test these high-priority targets.

Malachite Project (Au, Cu)

The Malachite Project is another high-value asset in the Aumega portfolio, covering key sections of the Cape Ray Shear Zone. Recent RC drilling has identified three large mineralized zones, with follow-up diamond drilling underway. Significant results from initial exploration include 627 ppb Au and 1.99% Cu, along with a 1.2 km mineralized zone. The upcoming drill programs are expected to define these zones further and enhance the project’s prospectivity for large-scale gold and copper deposits.

Blue Cove Copper Project (Cu, Ag)

Blue Cove is an early-stage copper-silver project covering 25 km of strike length, with high-grade copper samples of up to 10.6% Cu and 91.6 g/t Ag identified from initial rock chip sampling. The project presents a low-cost, high-upside opportunity for further copper exploration, with planned exploration activities scheduled for late 2024.
