CONSTELLATION CONTINUES TO SHINE

Highlights:

  • TAKD019 intersects a 60m thick sulphide interval (ranging from disseminated to massive) from 140m down hole (assays pending)

  • The Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program has defined a significant shallow oxide/supergene enriched copper footprint from 5m below surface (assays pending)

  • Diamond drilling continues to expand the down plunge and along strike extents of the mineralised system associated with the larger/deeper Moving Loop EM (MLTEM) plate:

  • TAKD011 - 1.75m @ 8.54% Cu, 5.62g/t Au, 21.9g/t Ag (from 346.85m[1] )

  • Five new diamond holes (TAKD015 – TAKD019) have all intersected the sulphide horizon (assays pending)

  • Downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveying has defined a second EM conductor at depth, beneath the known mineralised system

  • Application made for further 40 RC drill holes to further define potential near surface mineralisation

  • Mineralisation now traced 850m down plunge and remains open down plunge and along strike

1 Interval length selection based the entire logged sulphide intersection. The reported interval does not apply a Cu cut-off grade.

Established Australian copper-gold producer and explorer , Aeris Resources Limited (ASX: AIS) (Aeris or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities at the Constellation deposit, located within the Company’s 100% owned Tritton tenement package in New South Wales.

Aeris’ Executive Chairman, Andre Labuschagne, said: “Constellation continues to provide exciting results from both the drilling program and the DHEM surveying.”

“The 60m sulphide intersection in TAKD019 is particularly exciting, however further drilling is required to understand its significance in relation to the other drilling results, both up-and-down-dip from its location.”

“The RC drill program has surpassed our expectations. Intersecting oxide and supergene copper mineralisation from near surface to approximately 130m below surface, over a 120m long strike length, is a fantastic outcome.”

“The mineralised system has now been traced approximately 850m down plunge and between 120m to 150m along strike, from 5m below surface. The Constellation deposit is shaping up as a copper rich system with clear open pit opportunities.”

TAKD019

Diamond drill hole TAKD019 targeted the untested ground between the RC drill holes and the shallowest diamond drill hole (TAKD009 - 0.7m @ 2.58% Cu) – see Figures 1 and 2 above. TAKD019 intersected an approximatly 60m thick zone containing variable quantities of sulphides (pyrite with lesser chalcopyrite) from 140m down hole (130m below surface) (assays pending).

The significant sulphide intersection from TAKD019 is materially greater than any other drill intersection recorded at Constellation to date. It is not yet clear why the sulphide package is significantly thicker in TAKD019, or how it correlates with sulphide intersections in the surrounding drill holes. To ensure the entire mineralised system around TAKD019 is defined it is likely the surrounding RC drill holes will require extending. A review of the completed RC drill holes is underway.

RC Drill Program

RC drilling at the Constellation deposit is focused on defining the lateral extents of shallow oxide/supergene enriched copper mineralisation intersected in diamond drill hole TAKD002 (3.55m @ 22.56% Cu) and two modeled EM plates via ground MLTEM and DHEM surveys.

This drill program is well advanced with 43 of the 60 holes approved having been drilled to date. Drilling has targeted an initial 40m x 40m grid, with follow-up infill drilling at 20m x 20m spacing. As the Constellation deposit straddles 3 of Aeris’ exploration tenements, an application has been made for a further 40 RC drill holes so that drilling can be extended into the adjoining exploration tenements to continue chasing the copper system further along strike.

RC drilling to date has intersected oxide (malachite & azurite), supergene (chalcocite), native copper and primary (chalcopyrite) copper mineralisation from 5m below surface, over a 120m strike length, to approximately 130m below surface. The lateral extents of the chalcocite +/- chalcopyrite horizon are significantly greater than anticipated, compared to the small footprint from the modelled EM plates.

Of the 43 RC holes completed to date, 35 have intersected various forms of copper mineralisation (assays pending). Based on visual estimates of copper mineral content and textures, significant intersections include:

  • TAKRC038 - 11m of chalcocite +/- chalcopyrite from 54m (visual estimate >50% sulphides);

  • TAKRC039 - 7m of chalcocite +/- chalcopyrite from 94m (visual estimate >50% sulphides);

  • TAKRC040 - 8m of chalcocite +/- chalcopyrite from 46m (visual estimate >50% sulphides); and

  • TAKRC027 - 2m of chalcocite +/- chalcopyrite from 64m (visual estimate >50% sulphides).

Three different mineralised layers have been identified from the RC drill program:

  1. An upper oxide copper horizon forms a sub-horizontal “blanket” from near surface to a nominal 40m below surface. Copper minerals within the oxide blanket are primarily malachite and azurite;

  2. A zone of supergene enrichment occurs beneath the oxide blanket. The primary copper mineral associated with supergene enrichment at Constellation is chalcocite. The supergene zone forms along the mineralised structure, striking north - south and dipping moderately to the southeast; and

  3. From approximately 130m below surface, the proportion of chalcocite reduces with chalcopyrite becoming the dominant copper mineral. The transition to chalcopyrite rich mineralisation demarcates the base of the supergene zone.

Diamond Drill Program

Diamond drilling at the Constellation deposit has continued to focus on testing the larger MLTEM plate. Of the 19 drill holes completed to date, 17 have targeted this MLTEM plate.

Five drill holes have been completed since the previous ASX update (refer to ASX Announcement “Constellation Update” dated 22[nd] April 2021) with all intersecting copper sulphide mineralisation:

  • TAKD015 tested the down plunge extents to the mineralised system. The drill hole intersected the sulphide horizon (assays pending) approximately 80m below the previously deepest intersection (TAKD014);

  • TAKD016, TAKD017 and TAKD018 tested the northern extents to the mineralised system beneath TAKD010 (25.0m @ 0.66% Cu, including 7.0m @ 1.43% Cu). All three drill holes intersected the sulphide horizon (assays pending); and

  • TAKD019 targeted the untested ground between the RC drill holes and the shallowest diamond drill hole (TAKD009). TAKD019 intersected an approximatly 60m thick zone containing variable quantities of sulphides (pyrite with lesser chalcopyrite) from 140m down hole (130m below surface) (assays pending).

Assay results have also been received for drill hole TAKD011 (1.75m @ 8.54% Cu, 5.62g/t Au, 21.9g/t Ag). The drill hole intersected the sulphide horizon along the interpreted south margin of the mineralised system.

A summary of diamond drill hole intersections at the Constellation deposit are listed below in Table 1.

Downhole EM Surveying

DHEM surveying detected a new EM conductor at depth beneath the known sulphide body at Constellation. Drilling to date has not intersected this modelled EM conductor, although TAKD015 intersected a 50cm thick pyrite and pyrrhotite rich massive sulphide lens at the interpreted target depth, 60m south from the modelled plate.

Technical Discussion

Results from the RC program indicate the thicker and higher conductance “core” identified from the two modelled near-surface EM plates is part of a larger chalcocite dominant mineralised system. This is an encouraging result highlighting the potential to extend the supergene enriched chalcocite horizon further south with additional drilling in areas which did not detect an EM response.

A sub-horizontal copper oxide horizon is present from near surface (~5m) down to a nominal 40m below surface. Oxide copper minerals (malachite and azurite) have been observed over a ~200m (north – south) x ~150m (east – west) footprint. Visual % estimates of combined malachite and azurite are generally low at ≤5% with local occurrences up to 25 – 50% in places.

Below the copper oxide domain the mineralised structure(s) intersected from the deeper diamond drill holes have been subjected to supergene enrichment down to a nominal 130m below surface. Within the supergene enrichment zone the dominant copper mineral is chalcocite, a high grade copper mineral. Toward the base of the supergene enriched zone chalcopyrite becomes increasingly prevalent.

The mineralised system has now been traced approximately 850m down plunge and between 120m to 150m along strike.

Four EM plates have been identified to date. The two near surface plates are interpreted to be part of the supergene mineralisation being identified in the RC drill program. The larger, deeper MLTEM plate is the focus of the current diamond drilling program. A second EM conductor at depth, below the MLTEM conductor, has recently been identified from downhole surveying. This new EM conductor has yet to be drill tested.

Appendix B

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data Constellation drill program

Criteria Commentary
Sampling
techniques
RC Program
1. All samples will be collected from reverse circulation (RC) drilling.
2. The supervising geologist is deciding based on visual information
whether to collect 1m sample, or 4m composite sample. 1m
samples are collected directly off the cyclone splitter. 4m samples
are collected by spearing the bulk sample collected for each
metre. Any 4m composite sample where assay results warrant, the
1m samples from the composite are sent for analysis.
3. Blanks, Standards and Field duplicates used at a frequency rate
of 1:20.
4. Samples are sent to an independent and accredited laboratory
(ALS).
Diamond Program
1. All samples will be collected from diamond drill core.
2. Samples will be taken across intervals with visible sulphides.
Samples will be collected between 0.4m to 1.4m. Sample lengths
take into consideration geology.
Drilling techniques RC Program
1. Drilling results are reported from RC samples.
2. RC drilling is completed using a 5 inch diameter drill bit.
Diamond Program
1. Drilling results reported are via diamond drill core. Drill holes
completed are either drilled at a HQ diameter or a HQ and NQ
diameter. Drill holes TAKD001 and TAKD002 were drilled via HQ and
NQ diameter. Drill holes from TAKD003 to TAKD014 were drilled via
HQ diameter core.
Drill sample
recovery
1. RC Program
2. Sample recoveries from the RC drill program is on average grater
than 90%. An assessment of recovery is made at the drill rig during
drilling and is determined via visual observations of sample return
to the cyclone.
3. Water has been intersected in a small number of drill holes. Those
holes reporting water have been stopped. The intention is to
complete those holes using a diamond tail. Samples collected
from holes reporting water are considered representative.
4. No sample bias was observed.
Diamond Program
1. Core recoveries are recorded by the drillers on site at the drill rig.
Core recoveries are checked and verified by an Aeris Resources
field technician and/or geologist.
2. Diamond drill core is pieced together as part of the core
orientationprocess. Duringthisprocess depth intervals are

recorded on the core and checked against downhole depths
recorded by drillers on core blocks within the core trays.
3. Historically core recoveries are very high within and outside zones
of mineralisation across each of the known deposits. All drill holes
completed at the Constellation deposit report good core
recoveries through the mineralised horizon. Drill hole TAKD002 did
report some core loss through the mineralised horizon. Estimated
core loss through the mineralised zone is approximately 25%.
Similar core loss is seen immediately above and below the massive
sulphide lens. Further drilling in the immediate vicinity will be
designed to reduce core loss through the mineralised zones.
Logging 1. All RC chips and diamond drill core is logged by an Aeris
Resources geologist or a fully trained contract geologist under
Aeris Supervision. Diamond core and RC chips are logged to an
appropriate level of detail to increase the level of geological
knowledge and increase the geological understanding at the
Constellation deposit.
RC Program
1. Each 1m sample interval is geologically logged, recording
lithology, presence/concentration of sulphides and alteration.
2. All geological data recorded during the logging process is stored
in Aeris Resources’ AcQuire database.
3. Chip trays are stored onsite in a secure facility.
Diamond Program
1. All diamond core is geologically logged, recording lithology,
presence/concentration of sulphides, alteration, and structure.
2. All geological data recorded during the core logging process is
stored in Aeris Resources’ AcQuire database.
3. All diamond drill core will be photographed and digitally stored
on the Company network.
4. Core is stored in core trays and labelled with downhole meterage
intervals and drill hole ID.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
RC Program
1. All samples are collected in a consistent manner. 1m samples are
collected from the cyclone splitter. The on site geologist
determines whether 1m samples or 4m composite samples are
collected for laboratory analysis. The intent is to ensure samples
which are within or proximal to mineralisation are sampled at 1m
intervals.
2. Field duplicates have been collected at a rate of 1:20.
3. Standards and blanks are inserted at a frequency rate of 1:20.
4. The sample size is considered appropriate for the style of
mineralisation and grain size of the material being sampled.
Diamond Program
1. All samples are collected in a consistent manner. Samples are cut
via an automatic core saw, and half core samples are collected
between sample lengths from 0.4m and a maximum length of 1.4
metres.

Criteria Commentary
2. No field duplicates have been collected.
3. The sample size is considered appropriate for the style of
mineralisation and grain size of the material being sampled.
Quality of assay RC Program
data and 1. All samples have been sent to the ALS Laboratory Services at their
laboratory tests Orange facility for sample preparation. Samples are split via a riffle
splitter. A ~3kg sub sample is collected and pulverised to a
nominal 85% passing 75 microns.
2. Samples are assayed via ALS analytical method ME-OG46, an
aqua regia digest with an ICP finish. Elements reported via ME-
OG46 include Cu, Ag and Zn. Au assaying is via a 30g fire assay
charge (Au-AA22) using an AAS finish. If an Au assay exceeds 1g/t
Au a second 30g sample is assayed via Au-AA26 - a more
accurate analytical method for Au assays exceeding 1g/t Au.
3. QA/QC protocols include the use of blanks, duplicates, and
standards (commercial certified reference materials used). The
frequency rate for each QA/QC sample type is 1:20.
Diamond Program
1. All samples have been sent to the ALS Laboratory Services at their
Orange facility.
2. Samples are analysed by a 3-stage aqua regia digestion with an
ICP finish (suitable for Cu 0.01-1%) – ALS method ME-ICP41.
Samples with Cu assays exceeding 1% are re-submitted for an
aqua regia digest using ICP-AES analysis – ALS method ME-OG46.
Au analyses are completed on a 30g fire assay fusion with an AAS
finish (suitable for Au grades between 0.001-10ppm) – ALS method
Au-AA22. If a sample records an Au grade above 1ppm a second
sample will be re-submitted for another 30g fire assay charge using
ALS method AuAA25 (0.01-100ppm).
3. Cu and Ag assays reported from TAKD011 were assayed via the
ALS method ME-OG46 only. Au assays were completed using the
same protocols described above i.e. Au-AA22. If Au grade >1 g/t
then use analytical method Au-AA25 for those particular samples.
4. QA/QC protocols include the use of blanks, duplicates, and
standards (commercial certified reference materials used). The
frequency rate for each QA/QC sample type is 5%.
Verification of RC and Diamond Programs
sampling and 1. Logged drillholes are reviewed by the logging geologist and a
assaying senior geologist. All geological data is logged directly into Aeris
Resources’ logging computers following the standard Aeris
Resources geology codes. Data is transferred to the AcQuire
database and validated on entry.
2. Upon receipt of the assay data no adjustments are made to the
assay values.
Location of data 1. Drillhole collar locations are collected on a handheld GPS unit
with an accuracy of approximately +/- 5m.
points
2. All drillhole locations are collected in Australian Geodetic Datum
66 zone 55.
3. Quality and accuracy of the drill collars are suitable for exploration

results.
4. Downhole surveys are completed by the drill contractor. RC drill
holes TAKRC001 – TAKRC003 were surveyed using a Reflex
Multishot camera. Survey information is taken at the completion
of each hole at 20m or 30m intervals. For all other RC holes
reported using a Reflex gyroscopic tool measuring azimuth and
dip orientations every 30m, or shorter intervals if required. Down
hole surveying of diamond drill holes are completed using a Reflex
gyroscopic tool measuring azimuth and dip orientations every
30m, or shorter intervals if required.
Data spacing and RC Program
distribution 1. RC drilling completed at the Constellation deposit was designed
initially on a nominal 40m x 40m drill pattern. Drill holes with logged
visual sulphides have been followed up with infill RC holes at a
nominal 20m x 20m spacing.
2. The drill holes have been designed to test for mineralisation within
the oxide and supergene mineralised horizons.
3. A 20m x 20m nominal drill spacing over the oxide and supergene
horizon is considered sufficient to understand the spatial
distribution of copper mineralisation for eventual conversion to a
Mineral Resource.
Diamond Program
1. Drilling completed at the Constellation deposit is designed on a
nominal 80m x 80m drill pattern.
2. The drill holes have been designed to test for mineralisation within
the bounds of the modelled MLTEM plate.
3. Drill spacing is not applicable at this early stage of the drill
program.
Orientation of data RC and Diamond Programs
in relation to 1. All drillholes are designed to intersect the target at, or near right
geological angles.
structure 2. A majority of drillholes completed have not deviated significantly
from the planned drillhole path. A limited number of RC drill holes
intersected water within the mineralised zone and were
abandoned. Those holes will be extended via diamond drilling at
a later date.
3. Drillhole intersections through the target zone(s) are not biased.
Sample security RC and Diamond Programs
1. Drill holes sampled at the Constellation deposit will not be
sampled in their entirety.
2. Sample security protocols follow current procedures which
include: samples are secured within calico bags and transported
to the laboratory in Orange, NSW via a courier service or with
company personal.
Audits or reviews RC and Diamond Programs
1. Data is validated when uploading into the Company’s AcQuire
database.

Criteria Commentary
Mineral tenement 1. The Tritton Regional Tenement package is located approximately 45km
and land tenure northwest of the township of Nyngan in central western New South
Wales.
status
2. The Tritton Regional Tenement package consists of 8 Exploration
Licences and 3 Mining Leases. The mineral and mining rights are owned
100% by the Company’s subsidiary, Tritton Resources Pty Ltd.
3. The Constellation deposit is located within EL6126, EL8084 and EL8987.
All three exploration licences are in good standing and no known
impediments exist.
Exploration done 1. There has not been a significant amount of exploration completed over
by other parties and around the Constellation deposit. Burdett Exploration NL held the
ground between May 1971 – May 1972 however conducted no work
over the area. Nord Pacific Limited (Nord) held the ground under EL3930
between 1991 – 2002 and identified several GeoTEM EM anomalies
further north beyond the Constellation deposit. Nord completed two
lines of surface geochemistry sampling over each GeoTEM EM anomaly.
No further work was completed following the geochemical sampling
program. The Geochem results did not warrant any further work. No on-
ground exploration has been completed over the area since 2002.
Geology 1. Regionally, mineralisation is hosted within early to mid-Ordovician
turbidite sediments, forming part of the Girilambone group.
Mineralisation is hosted within greenschist facies, ductile deformed
pelitic to psammitic sediments, and sparse zones of courser sandstones.
2. Sulphide mineralisation within the Tritton tenement package is
dominated by banded to stringer pyrite – chalcopyrite, with a massive
pyrite-chalcopyrite unit along the hanging wall contact. Alteration
assemblages adjacent to mineralisation is characterised by an ankerite
footwall and silica sericite hanging wall.
