DIAMOND DRILLING COMPLETE AT SAMS CREEK GOLD PROJECT
SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT EXECUTED WITH SANDFIRE
-
Sandfire Resources Ltd (ASX: SFR) have completed seven diamond drill holes at the Sams Creek Gold Project in New Zealand
-
Three diamond holes completed in the Main Zone resource for a total of 538.8m to test alternative geological models and continuity of high-grade intersections
-
Early indications support Model 1 geological interpretation - which was used as the basis for the current JORC Resource
-
Future drilling will concentrate on defining the NE trending high grade mineralisation in the fold hinges
-
A further four diamond holes were completed for 233.7m at the SE Traverse Prospect
-
All the mineralised core from diamond drilling has been submitted for assay with all results from the Main Zone Resource Drilling received (Refer Table 3) and the SE Traverse drill results are expected late February
-
Sams Creek hosts significant exploration potential with only 1km of the 7km known dyke extent systematically drilled to date
-
Share Purchase Agreement executed with Sandfire for the acquisition of 100% of Sandfire’s wholly owned subsidiary Sams Creek Gold Limited (“SCGL”)
Gold and Base Metals explorer Auris Minerals Limited (“ Auris ” or “ the Company ”) ( ASX: AUR ) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling, undertaken by Sandfire Resources Limited (“ Sandfire ”; ASX: SFR ), into the Main Zone Resource and the SE Traverse prospect at the Sams Creek Project has now been completed.
Sandfire has completed three diamond holes, designed to test alternative geological models, (Figure 4, SCDDH097-SCDDH099) for 538.8m in the Main Zone of the Sams Creek deposit. All three holes intersected the dyke with downhole dyke thickness ranging from 52 to 85m (Table 2) and a true thickness of approximately 50m. The dyke intersected in all three holes contained numerous sulphide veins (Figure 3). The sulphide veins are generally dipping moderately (40-60°) to the SE which is consistent with previous surface mapping and orientated core from previous Main Zone drill holes. Significant gold intersections are summarised in (Table 3) and (Figure 4).
Analysis of the drilling shows that generally broad zones of lower grade mineralisation were intersected which indicates the presence of a high-grade core is not likely and supports the Model 1 interpretation for future development. The three holes were drilled between NE trending high grade zones as shown in (Figure 5). Future drilling will now concentrate on defining the NE trending high grade mineralisation in the fold hinges.

SAMS CREEK GOLD PROJECT DIAMOND DRILLING UPDATE
22 FEBRUARY 2021 P a g e | 2
Following completion of the Main Zone Resource drilling, a total of four holes (SCDDH100-SCDDH103, Table 4) for 233.7m were completed at the SE Traverse prospect where previous drilling (SCDDH096 and SCDDH094, (Figure 6), Refer ASX Announcement 26 October 2020) intersected high grade mineralisation indicating a continuation of the Carapace mineralised shoot to the SW (Figure 6). The SE Traverse is a slab of dyke approximately 600m long that slipped downhill a few hundred metres from the outcrop and represents the SE limb of A1 anticline that runs from Main Zone to the Carapace (Figure 5).
The intersected dyke intervals within the SE traverse drilling were strongly weathered and broken. Variable amounts of arsenopyrite and quartz veining were intersected within SCDDH100-102. The strongest mineralisation was intersected within SCDDH102, comprising 8 metres (14 – 22m) of 2-3mm arsenopyrite veins and 3-5mm quartz-arsenopyrite (± sphalerite ± chalcopyrite ± galena) veins.
All drill core from drilling within the SE Traverse Prospect has been submitted for assaying, with the full suite of results expected to be received in late February.
On receipt of all Main Zone and SE Traverse assays the existing JORC (2012) Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 1Moz gold @1.54g/t Au (0.7 g/t gold cut off) will be updated.
Management Commentary
Auris Managing Director, Mike Hendriks, commented, “Diamond drilling into the Main Zone Resource at Sams Creek has been completed. Results support the geological model which was used to establish the existing JORC Resource which was the main purpose of these holes.
The diamond drill rig has now just completed the planned SE Traverse drilling, designed to test the potential continuity of previously intersected high-grade mineralisation and all samples have been submitted for assaying. We are confident that this program will provide our team with the geological understanding needed to update the existing Sams Creek JORC Resource which remains open at depth and along strike. With only a small extent of the Sams Creek strike tested so far, we believe there remains significant exploration upside at the project.
Results of the assays of the last 4 holes will be reported once available. Exploration is continuing across our projects in the Bryah Basin, and we look forward to providing regular updates on exploration progress to our shareholders.”
Sams Creek Acquisition Background
Auris entered into a legally binding term sheet with Sandfire to acquire Sandfire’s interest in the Sams Creek Gold Project. Completion of the Sams Creek Project acquisition is subject to satisfaction of a number of conditions precedent by 31 March 2021, including New Zealand regulatory approvals and an extension of EP 40 338 for four years being approved by New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals.
For the extension of the permit to be successful an approved level of exploration is required to be carried out within the permit prior to its expiry. In order to meet this commitment, Sandfire is spending approximately $600,000 on exploration on the Sams Creek Project prior to the permit expiry of 26 March 2021.
Auris is pleased to advise that it has now executed a Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) with Sandfire in relation to the sale of shares in Sandfire’s wholly owned subsidiary Sams Creek Gold Limited (“SCGL”) to Auris.
Further details of the transaction can be viewed in the ASX release dated 30 September 2020.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (eg 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. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. 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 (eg ‘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 (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
Diamond core (DC) drilling was used to obtain samples for geological logging, UCS and assaying. Downhole geophysical logging wasn't undertaken. DC drilling was used to obtain core samples. For sampling, these were split in half, using a core saw, at 1 m intervals unless detenmined by lithology e.g. dyke contact areas. Sample length ranged from 0.2 m to 2.9 m. The core sampling included at least 5 m into the hanging wall and footwall. The core samples were pulverised to >95% passing 75 µm to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay for Au. Various multi-element analyses were also undertaken from the DC with at least As, Ag and S analysed. |
| Drilling techniques |
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open- hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg 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). |
Drilling diameters comprised PQ (96 mm) to 39.2m followed by HQ (63 mm) to 171.3m, both were triple tubed. N All suitable drill core has been orientated. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
Sample recovery was recorded by measuring the length of recovered core and comparing this with the drilled interval. The core recovery for the Main Zone, historically, is approximately 96.6%. There is also increased core loss in brittle high-grade zones, but these appear to have no material impact on the analytical results. |
| 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. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
All drilling has been logged for lithology, weathering, bedding, structure, alteration, mineralisation and colour using a standard set of in-house logging codes. The logging method is quantitative. Deeper interval have been logged for magnetic susceptibility (MS) using hand- held MS meters. Mineralised zones were logged for type, intensities both in vein number and percentage, angle to long core axis and mineralogy. Summary geotechnical information was recorded. All core trays were photographed prior to core being sampled. The geological model is supported by visual grade trends and variography (preferred axes of continuity)and is the basis for |

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of Sams Creek mineralisation is contained
mineralisation. within a hydrothermally altered peralkaline
granite porphyry dyke that intrudes Early
Paleozoic metasediments. The dyke is up to
60 m thick and can be traced east-west
along strike for over 7 km. The dyke
generally dips steeply to the north (-60°)
with gold mineralisation extending down dip
for at least 1 km and is open at depth. The
geological and geochemical characteristics
of the Sams Creek granite dyke indicate it is
a member of the intrusion-related gold
deposits (IRGD).
Gold mineralisation is largely contained
within thin (1-15 mm) sheeted quartz-
sulfide veins that crosscut the dyke which
strike to the NE and dip predominantly to
the SE at around 50°.
The Sams Creek dyke was deformed by a 03
event which resulted in gentle upright F3
folds plunging to the NE-ENE. A model is
proposed whereby gold-bearing sulfide
veins formed along F3 fold hinges and
parallel boudin necks of extending fold
limbs, perpendicular to the maximum
shortening direction. The higher
concentrations of veining in these two areas,
results in NE plunging mineralised shoots up
to 35 m wide and 100 m high separated by
narrower zones of lower grade gold
mineralisation.
