AIC Mines’ First Drillhole Intersects High-Grade Gold Mineralisation at Oro Grande

 

 

.

AIC Mines Limited (ASX: A1M) (“AIC Mines” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
drilling results from the Oro Grande prospect, part of the Eloise Regional Project,
located approximately 45 kilometres south of the Eloise copper mine in Northwest
Queensland.

.

Highlights

• A ground electromagnetic survey completed by AIC Mines in 2025 to test the
intersection of two regional fault zones identified several strong conductors that
warranted drilling. No previous drilling had been conducted at the prospect area.

• The prospect – now called the Oro Grande prospect – was awarded a Collaborative
Exploration Initiative (CEI) grant by the Queensland Government to co-fund a single
diamond drillhole.
• The hole intersected two distinct zones of anomalous mineralisation, an upper
copper-gold-silver zone, and a lower gold-zinc zone. The lower zone returned the
best result:
• 5.6m grading 5.1g/t Au from 493.0m
• The electromagnetic conductors targeted by the drilling remain open up and down
dip, and over a strike length of one kilometre.
• The presence of high-grade gold and anomalous copper and zinc mineralisation
warrants follow-up drilling – planned for the 2027 field season.

 

 

.
Commenting on the results, AIC Mines’ Managing Director Clint Donkin said:

“Our transformational discovery program across the 1,800 square kilometre Eloise Regional Project continues to return exciting results.

 

“We are coupling good science with good execution – and it is pleasing to see such good results returned.

 

“We appreciate the support from the Queensland Government, through the Collaborative Exploration Initiative, to co-fund the drilling of early-stage exploration prospects.“

AIC Mines announce a Transformational Copper Project Acquisition

 

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
23 September 2026

 

 

AIC Mines Limited (ASX: A1M) (“AIC Mines” or the “Company”) is pleased to
announce it has entered into binding agreements to acquire a 100% interest in
Materra Metals Limited (“Materra”) (the “Acquisition”), owner of the Mt Cuthbert
Copper Project (“Mt Cuthbert” or the “Project”), for $120 million consisting of $100
million in new fully paid AIC Mines ordinary shares and $20 million in cash, from
Dragon Field International Limited (“Dragon Field”), its stakeholders and the other
shareholders of Materra.

Concurrently, the Company has entered into a subscription agreement with existing
major shareholder Hawke’s Point Resource Finance and its affiliates (“Hawke’s
Point”) to subscribe for $70 million of new fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price
of $0.795 per share, being the Company’s last closing price on 21 September 2026
(the “Placement”) to fund the cash component of the Acquisition consideration and
accelerate exploration, resource drilling and development studies at Mt Cuthbert.

 

.
HIGHLIGHTS

• AIC Mines to acquire Mt Cuthbert, an advanced copper project located in the Mt
Isa – Cloncurry region of northwest Queensland, 150 kilometres northwest of the
Company’s Eloise Copper Mine.
o Mineral Resources total 18.7Mt grading 1.3% Cu for 246,000t Cu, across five
deposits, all located on granted Mining Leases and all open along strike and
at depth.
o 2,400km2 tenement package with substantial exploration upside. Fifteen
priority drill-ready prospects identified beyond existing resource base.
o 8,000tpa solvent extraction and electrowinning (SXEW) processing facility
on care and maintenance, established 64-room camp, site offices,
workshops, kitchen and dining buildings.
o Regional exploration, operational and administrative synergies with Eloise.
• Mt Cuthbert is a historic mining centre dating back to the early 1900s. It was
developed as a modern heap-leach SXEW operation in the early 2000s, to treat
near-surface copper oxide material, and most recently operated from 2014 to
2022 at a small scale before being placed on care and maintenance in 2022. It
has seen minimal exploration since the early 2000s and almost no deeper drilling
to target copper sulphide mineralisation.

• AIC Mines believes that Mt Cuthbert has the potential to support a standalone
operation producing both copper concentrate and copper cathode,
representing a second flagship asset that would materially transform the
Company’s scale and production profile*. AIC Mines’ focus is on the copper
sulphide potential and is considering a standalone copper sulphide operation.
*This statement represents an aspirational target and is subject to the results of resource drilling and the outcome of technical and economic evaluation.

Commenting on the transaction, Managing Director Aaron Colleran said:

“The acquisition of Mt Cuthbert is a significant step forward in fulfilling our ambition to be a multi-mine mid-tier Australian copper and gold miner.

 

“We have reviewed almost all of the advanced-stage copper opportunities in the Mt Isa – Cloncurry region over the last five years, and Mt Cuthbert is by far the best opportunity we have seen due to its established resource base, strong exploration upside, and the strategic fit alongside our existing operations.

 

“The Mt Cuthbert acquisition provides AIC Mines with a clear pathway to becoming a multi-asset copper producer in the globally significant Mt Isa – Cloncurry region.

 

“We have spent almost three years developing a relationship with Dragon Field, the current owner, to convince them that we will be the best stewards of this project and be able to develop its full potential quickly and efficiently.

 

“This relationship has culminated in a win-win transaction where the Mt Cuthbert owners will vend the asset into AIC Mines for predominantly scrip consideration.

 

“We look forward to welcoming the Dragon Field stakeholders and other Materra shareholders as new shareholders of AIC Mines.

 

“We have worked closely with one of our major shareholders, Hawke’s Point, in structuring this transaction. Their funding support is a strong endorsement of both the Mt Cuthbert Project and the AIC Mines growth strategy.

 

“We look forward to ongoing support and guidance from Hawke’s Point to ensure rapid development of Mt Cuthbert.”

 

.

 

A high-quality copper project in one of Australia’s most important copper producing regions, that has been underexplored and undercapitalised for over 20 years.

The Mt Cuthbert Project is a rare, advanced-stage copper project located in the Mt Isa – Cloncurry region of NW Queensland:

High-Grade Copper-Gold Mineralisation Intersected at the Brumby Prospect, QLD

 

 

 

 

.

AIC Mines Limited (ASX: A1M) (“AIC Mines” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
drilling results from the Brumby prospect, Cannington Project, located 20 kilometres
west of the Cannington mine and 100 kilometres south of the Eloise copper mine in
northwest Queensland.

 

 

,

Highlights

• The first diamond hole (BRDD001) drilled at the Brumby copper-gold prospect by
AIC Mines testing the concept of a mineralised shoot returned an exceptional
result of:
• 46.4m (41.8m ETW) grading 3.6% Cu and 1.0g/t Au from 146.5m, including
 10.5m (9.4m ETW) grading 14.4% Cu and 3.8g/t Au from 151.5m
• This result represents the highest-grade mineralisation intersected at the Brumby
prospect to date and underlines the strong potential of the system to generate
significant widths of high-grade copper and gold mineralisation.
• A further two holes were drilled to define the shoot. BRDD002 defined the eastern
margin of the shoot and returned no significant results, while the second step-out
hole returned a positive result of:
• BRDD003 – 3.0m (2.0m ETW) grading 0.6% Cu and 0.1g/t Au from 279.0m, incl.
 1.0m grading 1.2% Cu and 0.1g/t Au from 281.0m
• These results successfully extend mineralisation intersected by historical drilling in
the southern portion of a larger sulphide-magnetite breccia pipe, which included:
• BRNQ0012 – 17.0m (14.0m ETW) grading 1.7% Cu and 0.5g/t Au from 157.0m, incl.
 4.0m (3.5m ETW) grading 2.3% Cu and 0.7g/t Au from 157.0m
• BRRC0004A – 9.0m (7.0m ETW) grading 1.3% Cu and 1.3g/t Au from 71.0m, incl.
 2.0m (1.5m ETW) grading 4.7% Cu and 5.0g/t Au from 73.0m
• Mineralisation has now been defined within the breccia pipe over a strike length of
500m and to a depth of 200m. This mineralisation remains open to the west,
southwest, and at depth.

 

 

.
Commenting on the results, AIC Mines’ Managing Director Aaron Colleran said:

“We’ve had a dream start to the 2026 field season with great results at Iris and Eloise South, released last week, and now Brumby.

 

“The intersection in hole BRDD001 is a fantastic result and escalates the Brumby project to our highest priority exploration project.

 

“We are awaiting results from additional geophysical and geochemical surveys to aid our understanding of the hydrothermal system and to help guide follow-up
drilling.

 

“Planning and approvals for the next round of drilling are underway.”

Brumby Prospect – Cannington Project (AIC Mines 100%)

The Brumby prospect is located 20 kilometres west of the Cannington silver mine owned and operated by South32 Limited (ASX: S32) and approximately 100 kilometres south of AIC Mines’ Eloise copper mine and processing plant.

The prospect occurs within the larger Cannington Project which consists of
approximately 636km2 of semi-contiguous, 100% owned tenure south of the Eloise Regional Project and surrounding the highly endowed area between the Cannington lead-silver mine and Pegmont base-metal deposit.

AIC Announce Eloise Three-Year Production Outlook

 

AIC Mines Limited (ASX: A1M) (“AIC Mines” or the “Company”) is pleased to
announce its FY27 Production and Cost Guidance, and FY28 and FY29 Production
Targets for the combined Eloise and Jericho copper mines.

This is an exciting period for the Company, as it transitions from a small-scale single mine operation to a 1.5Mtpa dual mine operation producing over 25,000tpa copper in concentrate.

 

 

CAPITAL STRUCTURE
Shares on Issue: 797,619,821

 

 

HIGHLIGHTS

• FY27 Guidance: The combined Eloise and Jericho projects are expected to
produce 17,500t – 18,500t Cu in concentrate in FY27, weighted to the second
half of the year following commissioning of the 1.1Mtpa plant expansion. The
blended average AISC is expected to fall within a range of A$4.80/lb – A$5.20/lb
(US$3.36 – US$3.64/lb) Cu sold and AIC of A$5.20/lb – A$5.60/lb (US$3.64/lb –
US$3.92/lb) Cu sold, net of by-product credits. Reduced underground
development at Eloise drives strong cashflow, particularly in the first half of FY27.

• FY28 Production Target of 20,000 – 22,000t Cu in concentrate: Commissioning
of the Stage 1 Eloise plant expansion to 1.1Mtpa and ramp-up of underground
production at the Jericho mine is planned for the December 2026 Quarter. This
is expected to increase copper production by approximately 50% to over
20,000tpa in concentrate from FY28 (see cautionary statement below).

• FY29 Production Target of 25,000 – 27,000t Cu in concentrate: The Stage 2 Eloise
plant expansion to 1.5Mtpa is now targeted to be completed in the December
2028 Quarter, approximately 2 years earlier than previously planned. This
expansion, along with accelerated underground development at Jericho, is
expected to increase copper production by a further 25% to over 25,000tpa in
concentrate from FY29 (see cautionary statement below).

• No additional funding is required for the Stage 2 Eloise plant expansion or
accelerated underground development at Jericho. However, the US$40 million
Trafigura Prepayment Facility for the Eloise Expansion Project (currently drawn
to US$30 million) has recently been expanded by US$10 million to a total US$50
million to ensure cost overruns or production delays can be managed, if required.
• Cautionary Statement: The Guidance and Production Targets are based on a
combination of approximately 95% Probable Ore Reserves and 5% Inferred Mineral
Resources. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred
Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result
in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that a Production Target
will be realised. Refer to page 5 and Appendix 1 of this announcement for the
material assumptions pertaining to the Production Targets.

All $ figures in this report refer to A$ unless otherwise stated. US$ data is based on an AUD:USD exchange rate of 0.7.

City Investors Circle Mining Review 22nd June 2025

 

A sombre week after the announcement of the tragic death of a worker in the Madsen Mine owned by West Red Lake Gold Mines. The accident occurred underground at Madsen, and work has ceased whilst health and safety officials investigate the circumstances.

Our condolences, prayers ,and thoughts go out to his family.

 

A fundraise for his family, including his two children has been started. I urge everyone to support this good cause so that his dependants may have a future.

Anyone invested in WRLG should make a decent profit from their investment over time, so please spare something for a person that helped create shareholder value for us.

I am making a C$205 donation today, please spare anything you can.

AIC is looking to scale by starting a second mine linked to the first, which is just the sort of company Iike to invest in, minimising dilution by production and scaling up to a larger operation.

I also like the combination of copper and gold.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
12 June 2025

 

AIC Mines Limited (ASX: A1M) (“AIC Mines” or the “Company”) is pleased to
announce new drilling results from resource definition and extension drilling at the
Jericho copper deposit located in North Queensland.

 

.
Highlights

• Step-out drilling at the Billabong shoot, 380 metres down-plunge of the nearest
drillhole, returned a high-grade intercept:
• JEDD074 – 5.5m (4.1m ETW) grading 2.4% Cu from 696m
• The result confirms that high-grade mineralisation continues at depth several hundred metres below the current Inferred Resources.
• Resource infill drilling at the Matilda and Matilda North shoots intersected the
following significant results:
• JEDD074 – 15.2m (11.4m ETW) grading 1.0% Cu from 422.8m
• JEDD075 – 10.0m (7.5m ETW) grading 1.4% Cu from 255m
• JEDD076 – 12.0m (9.0m ETW) grading 1.9% Cu from 137m, including
• 4.0m (3.0m ETW) grading 4.1% Cu from 145m
• JEDD077 – 7.0m (5.3m ETW) grading 1.2% Cu from 313m.

 

 

.

Commenting on the results, AIC Mines’ Managing Director Aaron Colleran said:

“Intersecting high-grade mineralisation in a 380m step-out hole beneath the current resource is testament to the calibre of the Jericho deposit, and to the AIC Mines exploration team who have rapidly developed a comprehensive understanding of the controls on mineralisation.”

 

 

Jericho Copper Deposit

The Jericho copper deposit is located 4 kilometres south of the Eloise copper mine and processing plant.

Mineralisation at Jericho is defined over a strike length of 5 kilometres and remains open to the north and south. It commences at approximately 50m below surface and extends to a vertical depth of 650m below surface – the current limit of drilling.

Mineralisation occurs predominantly in two parallel lenses, J1 and J2, with higher grade shoots within these lenses, such as Jumbuck, Matilda and Billabong.

Comment
I have been looking for a small cap copper and gold producer for some time, and when I came across AIC Mines, it fitted my criteria perfectly.
Always follow good managament, and I admired how Non-Executive Chairman Josef El-Raghy grew London listed Centamin Egypt to a mid cap gold producer that was acquired by Anglo Gold Ashanti in 2024.
Joseph had to contend with turbulent markets and political issues in Egypt thoughout his tenure, yet managed to grow the company though all that, not an easy task.
I like the projects in Australia, and one of my criteria is the ability for a company to scale, which AIC has in abundance looking at the project map.
