COMPANY EXPLAINER

OzAurum Resources Limited, listed on the ASX, is an Australian-based gold exploration company with advanced strategically located gold projects in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia, also exploring for lithium, niobium, and rare earth elements (REE) in Brazil.

AUSTRALIAN PROJECTS:

The company’s flagship Australian asset is the 268,000 oz Mulgabbie North Gold Project that is located adjacent to Northern Star’s 4.2Mtpa Carosue Dam Gold Operation.

This project consists of a large landholding of 158 km 2 with extensive gold mineralisation found along the 7.5 km Mulgabbie Shear. This making it a prime target for future significant gold discoveries. The Patricia Gold Project with historical high-grade gold production and recent OZM high grade drill intersections is an exciting exploration drill target.

Together, these projects position OzAurum at the forefront of gold exploration opportunities in Western Australia.

OzAurum is committed to discovering and developing gold resources through a carefully planned exploration strategy aimed at generating substantial value for its shareholders.

BRAZILIAN EXPANSION:

Expanding beyond Australia, OzAurum has strategically extended its footprint into Brazil with a focus on uncovering significant lithium, niobium, and REE deposits.

The company has commenced diamond drilling at the Boca Rica Lithium Project using its in-house diamond drill rig and is actively pursuing further lithium opportunities in Minas Gerais, Brazil.

OzAurum owns 100% of the Salitre Niobium REE Project in Brazil, comprising 179km² of tenements. In the Catalao Niobium REE Project area, 259 km² of tenements have been granted out of a total of 318 km².

Both the Salitre and Catalao projects are located within the Alto Paranaíba Magmatic Province, a prolific host of carbonatite intrusions that account for 97% of worldwide niobium production.

COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE GROWTH:

OzAurum Resources is committed to sustainable growth through systematic exploration and resource expansion. The company prioritises responsible exploration practices, environmental stewardship, and community engagement to ensure positive social and economic impacts.

STRATEGIC POSITIONING:

By leveraging its strategic locations, high-potential assets, and expert team, OzAurum is well-positioned to become a leading player in the Australian gold exploration sector while enhancing its global presence through the strategic advancement of its Brazilian assets.
