Madman: Heritage Clearance Survey Completed
Buxton Resources Ltd is pleased to announce the successful completion of an
Aboriginal Heritage Survey at its 100% owned Madman Project.
The comprehensive survey included both ethnographic and archaeological
components and was conducted with the support of six Traditional Owners who are
custodians of the land. A helicopter was utilised to efficiently inspect proposed drill
sites, camp locations, and a 62km access alignment (Figure 1).

Buxton CEO Marty Moloney commented, “The successful completion of this
Heritage Survey is a cornerstone for securing our social license to operate at
Madman. We are incredibly pleased to collaborate with the Birriliburu Native Title
custodians, local pastoralists, and other regional stakeholders.
While this Survey provides the essential foundation for obtaining our remaining
permits, it also significantly deepened our understanding of the operating
environment. We can now refine our plans for executing the upcoming maiden
drilling program with vastly improved confidence."

Next Steps
Results from the Heritage Survey are expected within 4-6 weeks. The survey
activities have significantly improved knowledge of site conditions, enabling detailed
discussions with suitably qualified contractors to undertake the maiden drilling
program.

About the Madman Project
The Madman Project is focussed on a a Havieron “look-a-like” ~200nT magnetic
feature ~1 km2 in extent (Figure 2).

magnetic feature. Madman lies under shallow cover and close to the Marloo Fault – a major crustal boundary.

Madman is located 375 km northeast of Wiluna and is accessible via the Gunbarrel
and Eagle Highways, then along a historic seismic line track in good condition.
Buxton will be improving the last ~6 km of this seismic line, then establishing 56 km
of new access tracks.
The Project straddles the Marloo Fault, which is part of a major transcrustal structure
that defines the western margin of the Paterson Orogeni (Figure 3).
Thorough review of historical records indicates there has been no previous onground exploration at Madman, including over the discrete geophysical anomaly
which is the focus of initial exploration. Inversion modelling indicates this target is
potentially as shallow as 115-175 metres below surface ii.
Prospectivity for gold is supported by records arising from a GSWA mapping
program that resulted in the discovery of vein-hosted gold-barium mineralisation at
the Quadrio Lake and Phenoclast Hill prospects iii.
The nearby stratigraphic drillhole GSWA Trainor 1 intersected a zone of quartz-pyrite
veinlets from 397.1 – 417.55 metres downhole with distinctly anomalous gold up to
33 ppb associated with tellurium up to 823 ppb (>800 times average crustal
abundance), along with a suite of other anomalous pathfinder elements including
arsenic (137 ppm), antimony (2.73 ppm), molybdenum (36 ppm), copper (402 ppm)
and bismuth (772 ppb) iv & v. Hyperspectral analysis of this drill core reveals extensive
zones of bleaching and k-feldspar (assumed to represent alteration) enveloping the
anomalous geochemistry, suggesting mineralisation is associated with a more
extensive hydrothermal eventvi.
The GSWA interpret the timing of the gold-related mineralisation and alteration
event in the Madman region as being coeval with other deposits in the Paterson
Orogen Au/Cu deposits (~650 Ma)vii including Telfer, Winu, Havieron and others
which collectively represent over 34.6 million ounces of gold and 3.3 Mt copperviii.
Over 50% of this gold endowment, and virtually all the copper, has been defined
within the last decade underscoring the low exploration maturity of this highly
prospective region.
