About our Group

Minotaur Exploration Limited (‘Minotaur’) is a public company based in Adelaide, South Australia. Minotaur is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the market code MEP.

Minotaur’s webpage is www.minotaurexploration.com.au The Company is governed by a Board of Directors according to Australian Corporate law and the Listing Rules of the ASX.

Minotaur specialises in application of cutting-edge geophysical techniques to locate virgin mineralisation deep below the surface. Often, economic mineral deposits are contained within basement rocks, buried below several hundred metres of transported cover (overburden) and cannot be located through surface exploration methods such as soil sampling, geochemical assays and drilling. Minotaur’s remote sensing and interpretative approach has proven very successful.

The directors and management of Minotaur each have around 30 years of exploration, mining and mineral resource experience and are eminently qualified in their respective fields of expertise. Under their direction, Minotaur has earned a strong reputation for technical excellence and a high profile within the Australian resources sector. 

Minotaur is actively exploring IOCG style targets in Australia, where geophysics have identified numerous sub-surface anomalies prospective for copper-gold mineralisation. Each of these represents a possible Prominent Hill type orebody. Numerous other targets that are ready for drilling are prospective for base metals such as zinc, lead, copper.

Iron ore is a strong focus for Minotaur. In South Australia Minotaur has, in collaboration with its joint venture partner, delineated around 1.5 billion tonnes of near-surface magnetite mineralisation that will readily beneficiate into high quality, blast furnace grade magnetite concentrate. A 10 million tonne per year concentrate production operation is a reasonable long-term vision for this project. 

Minotaur owns the world class kaolin deposits at Poochera, in South Australia, where about 20 million tonnes of kaolinised granite has been categorised according to JORC.

Nearby, on the coast, Minotaur owns Lake Purdilla, Australia's largest underveloped gypsum deposit.
