The deal worth $1.5m in cash and $1.5m in shares will see the Sydney-based Fetch take over the interest, 60km south of Cloncurry.
The project consists of eight mining exploration leases in the Eastern Succession of the Mount Isa Inlier over 135 blocks and 432 sq km.
ActiveEX managing director Mark Derriman said they were pleased with the deal which rebuilds ActiveEX into an active explorer and provided "much needed cash" which would be used for exploration and to pay off debt.
