Alchemy Resources Limited (ASX: ALY) (“Alchemy”) is pleased to announce that Sandfire Resources NL (ASX: SFR) has received several anomalous copper and gold results from Phase 1 aircore drilling along strike to the southwest of the De Grussa copper-gold deposit within Alchemy’s 100% owned Bryah Basin Project in the Gascoyne region ( Figure 1 ). Some 584 aircore holes (42,019m) have been drilled on a 1.6km x 100m spacing across approximately 65% of the 40 kilometre strike of the Karalundi sediments, host to the De Grussa VMS copper-gold mineralisation.

Figure 1 : Bryah Basin Project showing Phase 1 aircore drilling.
Best results from the first 387 holes include seven 5m composite samples >200ppm Cu to a maximum of 5m @ 0.13% Cu. Results for other elements include; 5m @ 0.27g/t Au, 5m @ 0.16g/t Au, 10m @ 540ppm Zn, 5m @ 428ppm Pb, and 5m @ 114ppm Bi. Infill aircore drilling at 800m and 400m line spacings will be undertaken on the completion of the wide spaced ~900 hole Phase 1 drill program. Follow-up RC drilling has commenced with two holes (682m) now completed at the Churchill prospect and another four RC holes planned (Figure 2) . All RC results are pending.
A detailed moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) survey designed to further improve targeting of the host volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) horizon has also commenced. Processing of the EM data is ongoing and along with the recently collected gravity data, will be incorporated into existing regional datasets and inversion models created. The resulting models will then be used to target VMS mineralisation and further refine the Phase 2 drill program.
Aircore drilling has also been planned for the Horseshoe Lights area. This drilling will target copper-gold mineralisation within the Narracoota volcanics and the Ravelstone Formation sediments.
Alchemy’s Managing Director, Leigh Ryan said:
“We’re very happy with the intensive exploration effort being undertaken by Sandfire within the highly prospective De Grussa host rocks and look forward to the integration of gravity, EM and drilling geochem datasets to further define and prioritise drill targets. Sandfire has unequalled knowledge and information on De Grussa style mineralisation and are fully incentivised to find another major copper-gold deposit in the district. This is a very exciting time for Alchemy and we’re looking forward to additional drilling results over the next few months.”

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of _sampling. _ |
AC samples are collected using spear techniques for both composite and single metre samples. RC samples are collected by a cone splitter for single metre samples or a sampling spear for first pass composite samples using a face sampling hammer with a nominal 140mm hole. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
Sampling is guided by Sandfire protocols and Quality Control (QC) procedures as per industry standard. |
|
| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
AC and RC samples are crushed to -4mm through a Boyd crusher and representative subsamples pulverised via LM5. Pulverising is to nominal 90% passing -75µm and checked using wet sieving technique. Samples are assayed using Mixed 4 Acid Digest (MAD) 0.3g charge and MAD Hotbox 0.15g charge methods with ICPOES or ICPMS. Fire Assay is completed by firing 40g portion of the sample with ICPMS finish. |
|
| Drilling techniques |
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open- hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face- sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.). |
All AC drilling was completed with a Drillboss 300 with on-board compressor (700cfm at 400psi) using a nominal 90mm diameter air core drill bit. AC drill collars are surveyed using a Garmin GPS Map 64. All RC drilling was completed with a Schramm T685 drill rig using a sampling hammer with a nominal 140mm hole diameter. RC drill collars are surveyed using RTK GPS with down hole surveying. Downhole surveying is undertaken using a gyroscopic surveyinstrument. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. |
AC and RC sample recoveries are logged and captured into the database. |
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
Appropriate measures are taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure the representative nature of the samples. Recovery and moisture content are routinely recorded for composite and 1m samples. The majority of AC and RC samples collected are of good quality with minimal wet sampling in the project area. |

impacted on potential sample bias. | |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. |
AC and RC chips are washed and stored in chip trays in 1m intervals. Geological logging is completed for all holes and representative across the project area. All geological fields (i.e. lithology, alteration etc.) are logged directly to a digital format following procedures and using Sandfire geological codes. Data is imported into Sandfire’s central database after validation in Ocris. |

| If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry. |
AC samples consist of 5m composite spear samples produced from 1m sample piles. Additional 1m sampling is completed depending on results from 5m composite samples or where mineralisation is observed while drilling is occurring. RC 1m samples are split using a cone or riffle splitter. The majority of RC samples are dry. On occasions that wet samples are encountered they are dried prior to splitting with a riffle splitter. |
|
| For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
All samples are sorted, dried at 80° for up to 24 hours and weighed. Samples are Boyd crushed to -4mm and pulverised using LM5 mill to 90% passing 75µm. Sample splits are weighed at a frequency of 1:20 and entered into the job results file. Pulverising is completed using LM5 mill to 90% passing 75%µm usingwet sievingtechnique. |
|
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub- sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. |
1:20 grind quality checks are completed for 90% passing 75%µm criteria to ensure representativeness of sub-samples. |

The MAD Hotbox method is an extended digest method that approaches a total digest for many elements however some refractory minerals are not completely attacked. The elements S, Cu, Zn, Co, Fe, Ca, Mg, Mn, Ni, Cr, Ti, K, Na, V are determined by ICPOES, and Ag, Pb, As, Sb, Bi, Cd, Se, Te, Mo, Re, Zr, Ba, Sn, W are determined by ICPMS. Samples are analysed for Au, Pd and Pt by firing a 40g of sample with ICP AES/MS finish. Lower sample weights are employed where samples have very high S contents. This is a classical FA process and results in total separation of Au, Pt and Pd in the samples. The analytical methods are considered appropriate for this mineralisation style. |

The Bryah-Marymia region has a precious and ferrous metals exploration history stretching over 50 years. Multiple deposits of different types have been discovered and developed over this time at Horseshoe, Thaduna, DeGrussa, Monty, Hermes, Peak Hill and Plutonic in the Bryah sedimentary sequence and Archean Marymia inlier. More recently, since the discovery of the DeGrussa and Monty VMS deposits, activities in the Bryah basin have focused on the VMS potential of the Bryah Basin sediments. Previous explores have included Newcrest Mining Ltd / Homestake Australia Ltd (1993-1996), Northern Star Resources NL / Troy Resources Ltd (1996 – 2003), Barrick Gold Australia / Troy Resources Ltd (2004 – 2008), Alchemy Resources Ltd (2008 – 2013), and Independence Group NL (2014 – 2016). A comprehensive history of exploration in the region has been compiled by Independence Group (IGO) and is included in the 2017 annual report for the combined reporting group. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The Bryah Basin Project lies within the Proterozoic-aged Bryah rift basin enclosed between the Archaean Marymia Inlier to the north and the Proterozoic Yerrida basin to the south. The principal exploration targets in the Project area are Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits located within the Proterozoic Bryah Basin of Western Australia. Secondary targets include orogenicgold deposits. |

| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
Significant intersections are based on various cut- off grades as documented in Table A in the main body of this release. All metal grades used for calculating significant intersections are uncut. |
| Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. |
Reported intersections are based on 5m composite samples collected by combining individual 1m samples from AC drilling. |
|
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No metal equivalents are used in the intersection calculations. |
|
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
Downhole intercepts of mineralisation reported in this release are from drill holes orientated approximately perpendicular to the understood regional stratigraphy. The drill hole may not necessarily be perpendicular to the mineralised zone. All widths are reported as downhole intervals. |
| If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill-hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. |
The geometry of the mineralisation, relative to the drill hole, is unknown at this stage. |
|
| If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole _length, true width not known’). _ |
All intersections reported in this release are downhole intervals. True widths are not known at this stage. |
|
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |

| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
Downhole Electromagnetic Surveying is being completed by Merlin Geophysics. Results and details for the configuration of the survey will be released on when the survey has been completed. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
Additional work including additional aircore and RC drilling, downhole geophysics and surface geophysics is being planned. |
