CHAIRMAN'S LETTER
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to present the 2019 Annual Report for PNX Metals Limited (PNX or Company).
During the year, the Company focused on advancing the Hayes Creek Project in the Northern Territory towards a development decision.
A Detailed Feasibility Study (DFS) is currently underway on Hayes Creek and this follows the successful completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) in July 2017 which confirmed that the project is a promising, high value, relatively low risk and technically strong development opportunity. The DFS is expected to provide increased confidence in all aspects of the project and will also investigate opportunities to improve overall project economics and meet the Company's objective to be a successful explorer and a sustainable and profitable gold and base metals producer.
The finalisation of the DFS is expected to take until at least the end of the first quarter of 2020, subject to any unplanned delays. A significant amount of technical work is also underway that will be used to prepare the Project's Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for submission by mid-2020.
Located less than 15km from the Hayes Creek deposits, the Fountain Head site is an integral part of the Hayes Creek Project as it is the preferred location for the processing plant and tailings facility. Fountain Head is also host to a number of high-grade gold prospects and drilling during the year identified new gold mineralisation that lead to development of a new geological model for the area. As a result, the Company completed its first JORC compliant mineral resource estimate for Fountain Head containing 138Koz
of gold (see ASX announcement dated 11 July 2019). The relative values of PNX mining some or all of these mineral resources versus utilising the historic open pits for tailings disposal from the Hayes Creek project is being assessed, including how the two strategies might be combined.
The new gold mineral resource at Fountain Head provides confidence that a significant gold system may be emerging, and drilling success during the year, including at Cookies Corner, highlights the potential of the Company's large NT exploration tenure. Regionally, our tenement interests cover in excess of 1,500 km2 and host numerous base metal and gold prospects. The exploration strategy for this large area is to identify significant additional mineralisation with the potential to complement and enhance the Hayes Creek Project as well as to identify new, potentially stand-alone resources.
The Company continues to receive strong support from its shareholders demonstrated through successful fund raisings completed during the year. In May 2019 the Company completed a three (3) for five (5) underwritten non-renounceablepro-rata rights issue raising $5.48 million (before costs and expenses). The proceeds are being used to fund the significant level of activity at Hayes Creek, including the completion of the DFS, and ongoing assessment of the Fountain Head gold project.
The Board and management are confident that continued exploration work will be successful in growing the resource base and that the completion of the DFS at the Hayes Creek project during 2020 will provide confidence in this development opportunity, with the potential to deliver strong returns for PNX shareholders.
In closing, I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to my fellow directors, management and staff for their dedication and work during the past 12 months. We are committed to progressing the Company and growing our flagship Hayes Creek project towards development for the benefit of all stakeholders.
I also take this opportunity to thank all shareholders for your continued support of PNX and I look forward to providing further updates as our activities move forward in 2020.
Yours sincerely,
Graham Ascough
Chairman
