AVIRA ESTABLISHES A FOOTHOLD IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA’S HIGHLY PROSPECTIVE PATERSON BELT

Avira Resources Limited (ASX: AVW) (Avira or the Company) is pleased to announce that it has recently made application for Exploration Licence E45/5667 over highly prospective ground in the Paterson Province located in the Pilbara region in Western Australia (Throssell Range Project).

The grant of this EL would add to the Company’s existing portfolio of exploration assets located in North Eastern Queensland (Pyramid Range Project) The Throssell Range project is considered prospective for gold-copper-cobalt mineralization of a style similar to nearby Nifty or Maroochydore deposits located within the region.

Commenting on this opportunity, Avira’s Executive Director David Deloub said: “The Company continues to identify and build on its existing exploration portfolio through opportunities that have demonstrated prospectivity and scalability for gold and base metals projects. The Paterson Provence is currently one of Australia’s most exciting regions for potential copper-gold and cobalt discoveries with the project proximate to a number of existing operating mines and regional infrastructure”.

In support of its boarder strategic objective of investing in projects that it believes are highly prospective and scalable, the Company is continuing to look for additional opportunities within the Paterson Range province.

Overview

The Throssell Range project (E45/5667) is located in the Paterson Orogen, in the East Pilbara district of Western Australia. The tenement covers rocks of the Paterson Orogen, a Neoproterozoic metamorphosed and deformed sedimentary basin which hosts significant deposits of gold, copper, tungsten, plus uranium and manganese.

The local geology is comprised of members of the Tarcunya Group, which are equivalent to the Yeneena Group, which hosts the Nifty Cu deposit, Telfer Au-Cu deposit and exciting new Cu-Au discoveries at Winu and Haverion.

The Company’s geological consultants Gneiss Results Pty Ltd were engaged to review the prospectively of the tenement in relation to the known metallogeny and geology of the tenement, and to propose an exploration program for the tenement in the first two years of grant. The review has highlighted several features of the geology which are conducive to mineralization;

  • Geological units of the Tarcunyah Group are laterally equivalent to the Yeneena Group.

  • The prospective anoxic, carbonaceous shales of the Waroongunyah Formation are facies equivalents to the prospective Broadhurst Formation.

  • The tenement covers the basin-bounding fault zone to the Paterson Orogen; these structural zones are foci for mineralization both during basin formation and during deformation of basin stratigraphy.

  • Development of Fe-Mn-Kaolin laterites on basin margin faults indicates hydrothermal activity focused into these structures, which has potential for development of mineralization.

  • Fe-Mg laterites and opaques may form manganese mineralized ferricretes.

The tenement is considered prospective for copper-cobalt mineralization of a style similar to Nifty or Maroochydore, or similar styles of mineralization focused along basin margin faults or transcurrent faults, and/or potentially other styles identified within the region. Forward work program for the Throssell range Project is likely to begin with Airborne VTEM and subsequent ground work including; rock chip sampling, mapping and outcrop/regolith investigations, followed by regional geochemistry and then drilling of any anomalies.

Location

The Throssell Range Project is within the East Pilbara Mineral field of Western Australia. The area is remote, being a day’s drive from Port Hedland (~400km), Nullagine, ~250km from Marble Bar, and 350km from Newman (figure 1). The area is serviced by airports at Port Hedland and Newman, and private airstrips at mines at Nifty and Telfer. The Project consists of 32 sub-blocks covering and area of approximately 101 square kilometers and is located and is proximate to a number of existing operating mines including 15km Nifty copper mine and, within similar-aged rocks with similar lithologies and geological history. The tenement sits astride the Nifty Road and outcrop areas near the road are easily traversed.

Prospectivity

The E45/5567 Throssell Range tenement is prospective for stratabound Cu-Co mineralization of a Nifty style, formed by replacement of pyrite within sulphidic sediment by copper-bearing fluids. The target horizon within the tenement is the Waroongunyah Formation, which outcrops over a strike length of 25km.

Nifty style mineralization occurs within generally conductive strata, which can be readily mapped by EM methods. Modern airborne EM systems are now able to directly detect and discriminate mineralized conductors from ‘stratigraphic’ conductors.

The tenement is also prospective for diapir or diatreme related and Iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) mineralization within the Tarcunyah Group. Vertical pipe-like bodies discordant to stratigraphy, localized by intersections of fault zones, are targets for exploration.

The tenement is also prospective for sediment-hosted base metal accumulations within the basin- margin fault zone along the western margin of the Paterson Orogen, with styles such as SEDEX, replacement and vein associated models.

The presence of regionally significant iron, magnesium and aluminium-enriched anomalies clustered on the basin margin fault is suggestive of some form of hydrothermal system, which requires exploration to determine if it is mineralized.

Proposed Work Program

Exploration budgets, logistical planning and timetabling are currently being developed in anticipation of grant of the exploration license. The timing of the initial exploration program will be dependent on successful application for the exploration license, regional accessibility and capital availability.

Some of the exploration programs currently being considered include;

Airborne EM Survey

The primary method of exploration for the area is suggested to be a 200m line spacing AEM survey. A modern AEM survey will map conductive stratigraphy, provide some structural information, identify prospective conductors and map conductive regolith (eg; Permian channels), and provide areas of interest for ground truthing and drilling.

Regional Geochemistry

Regional scale geochemistry will also be considered for the tenement area. As previously mentioned, the size fraction and method of analysis would need to be investigated via a limited orientation survey, preferably over a site of known, deeply buried mineralization, prior to engaging in a more substantial regional scale geochemical program.

ABN: 38 131 715 645

==> picture [89 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

HyVista Hyperspectral Mapping

The areas of outcrop represent good opportunities for utilizing alteration mapping. The government Aster data (50m cell size) already shows substantial evidence of regional-scale FeMg laterite and aluminium anomalies. Commercially available Aster scenery with more sophisticated reprocessing may be able to highlight alteration mineralogy such as epidote, chlorite and carbonate assemblages likely to represent buried hydrothermal alteration. HyVista is a much more sensitive method, capable of detecting a wide range of mineralogy that could be of interest in exploration for breccia diatreme-related mineralization, such as tourmaline, epidote and carbonate species.

Drilling

Based on the results, drilling of geochemically anomalous areas with conductive targets are expected to be identified.

Metallogeny

The sediments of the Paterson Orogen were deposited in an intracratonic basin from ~850 Ma to 700Ma. The Yeeneena Group (and equivalents in the Tarcunyah Group) are composed of

  • basal conglomerate and sandstone sequence (Coolbro Sandstone)

  • deepening to an anoxic black shale and carbonate shale sequence (Broadhurst Formation)

  • Siltstone, shale and carbonate (Isdell Formation)

  • Shale, dolomite and siltstone (Malu Shale)

  • Shales and siltstones (Puntapunta, Wilu Fm)

==> picture [89 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

Mineralisation

Telfer is an epigenetic Au-Cu deposit hosted within Malu Formation sediments. Telfer mineralisation is c. 614Ma in age related to the Miles Orogeny and is hosted in ~650Ma structures formed during this event. The stratigraphy and structure are both equally important, although Au is present in various sediments throughout the whole Yeneena Group.

Haverion appears hosted within carbonate sediments of the Yeneena Group (Malu FM). Winu is hosted within carbonate sediments of the Yeneena Group.

Nifty is a sedimentary replacement Cu style, hosted within pyritic black shales of the Broadhurst Formation. The deposit is dated to c. 800 Ma and predates the Miles Orogeny and postdates the sedimentary depositional age of the Tarcunya Group by c. 50Ma. Oher ore deposit styles within the region include O’Callaghans tungsten granite/skarn, manganese and uranium.

Telfer Exploration Model

Exploration for Telfer analogues must include some recognition of the influence of stratigraphy (ie; rocks susceptible to mineralization) in concert with large-scale folding and dome or anticline structures, and faulting of Miles Orogeny age. Structures which transgress reactive (or mafic) lithologies or up-fold these lithologies, are prospective.

Telfer is hosted within the Telfer Dome and Main Dome, as a series of stacked quartz-sulphide lodes replacing reactive (carbonaceous and carbonate) sediments of the Malu and Isdell Formations.

==> picture [197 x 156] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [237 x 157] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3. Diagrammatic Telfer exploration model

The ultimate source of Telfer gold is temporally associated with orogeny and felsic magmatism during the Miles Orogeny c. 615Ma. The source of Sulphur, boron, metals and fluids appears to be sedimentary, with granite intrusions at depth providing the heat source.

Therefore, locations above, adjacent or suprajacent to faults and granitoids are prospective. Members of the Yeneena Group which are distal to the major felsic intrusive centers are less likely to be prospective due to lower heat flux within the crust and within the basin at ~615Ma.

Avira Resources Limited Suite 9, Level 2, 330 Churchill Avenue Subiaco WA 6008 Australia T: 61 8 6489 1600 F: 61 8 6489 1601 www.aviraresourcesltd.com.au ABN: 38 131 715 645

==> picture [89 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

The association of the Aria diatreme with IOCG mineralization processes by Encounter Resources (pers. Comm.) would involve, at a basic level, essentially the same mechanisms as the Telfer model. Effectively, any deep-seated intrusive which impinges upon a metal-rich sedimentary basin is liable to generate convection of fluids and entrained metals.

Nifty Exploration Model

The Nifty deposit is a stratabound replacement of Broadhurst Formation sulphidic sediments by later Cu-Co mineralizing fluids, resulting in stacked lenses of high grade copper mineralization within a south-east plunging synform, adjacent to a south-east striking fault. The reductive stratigraphy is an essential component of this style of mineralization, with strong structural control on the ‘plumbing system’.

Nifty and analogues are controlled by distribution of sulphidic and carbonaceous anoxic shales of the Broadhurst Formation. It is likely that Winu and, to some degree Haverion, represent an interface in style between the Telfer style igneous-associated metallogeny and the Nifty style reductive (reactive) trap metallogeny, as to date the new discoveries appear associated with carbonate sequences, brecciation and reactions of fluids transgressing carbonate and carbonaceous lithology.

Regolith

The tenement has three main regolith domains.

Outcrop

Sandstones, shales and siltstones of the lower Tarcunyah Group form two main outcrop trends within the tenement. These areas are broad areas of varying relief flanked by colluvium, alluvium and sand dunes. One trend of outcrops is related to the Waroongunyah Formation and is visible as dark-colored shales and sediments, presumably carbonaceous and reduced in character, with prominent layering and some folding. The other outcrop trend is formed by the Brownrigg Sandstone, and is lighter orange-red in color and less clearly reduced.

Permian Sediments

Several areas of low relief, below sandstone ridges, likely contain infilled Permian glaciogene channels. The thickness of these sediments is likely to be ~20-100m, based on the regional experience with other operators. There is a risk of some smaller channels and faulted embayments having significantly thicker accumulations of Permian tillite or fluvial sediment.

Sand Dunes

Prominent, generally ESE-NNW trending sand dunes are arrayed across the tenement. They present an obstacle to vehicle navigation and the associated interdune areas tend to be blanketed with thin aeolian sands several meters thick, but may contain sub-outcropping basement exposures.

ABN: 38 131 715 645

==> picture [89 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

Amenability to Sampling

The regolith is considered to be amenable to regional scale geochemistry within inter-dune areas and over outcrop areas. The world-class Nifty copper deposit sub-outcropped between dunes and was found by surface prospecting. The likely presence of Permian channel and glaciogene sediments in places would present a small risk that a regional-scale geochemistry program may not be entirely effective. This risk can be managed by

  • obtaining the regional aerial EM survey and interrogating it for depth to basement

  • mapping and photo interpretation

  • use of Tromino[TM] passive seismic surveys to determine depth to basement

Geology

The tenement sits within a fault-bounded structural element of the Paterson Orogen, and the rocks have primarily been mapped as the Coolbro Sandstone or equivalents within the lower Yeneena Basin stratigraphy (GSWA 1:100K Pilbara Compilation, 2008).

==> picture [453 x 333] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5. E45/5404 over GSWA 1:500K Geology Interpretation

The tenement outcrop areas can be photo interpreted to a degree, with well-exposed ridges and exposures. The area has been previously photo-interpreted by WMC during their prolonged 19711989 exploration efforts in the area, but not mapped beyond that. Mapping information is based on GSWA 1:100,000 mapping as part of the Pilbara Craton project culminating in 2008.

Geophysics

Regional scale gravity is useful for identifying the fundamental basin architecture and illuminating potential controls on mineralization. The Paterson Orogen structural grain is controlled by NNW trending fault and fold belt morphology. Metal deposits are controlled by NNW trending faults and stratigraphic intervals within folds parallel to the faults. However copper deposits in particular appear to cluster in NNE trends along major basement breaks and along NW-SE trending basin and sub-basin faults. Similar structuring is apparent in the magnetic anomaly map.

==> picture [90 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

This is typical of sedimentary basin metallogeny, with basin margin faults and second-order transcurrent accommodation faults localizing mineralization. These faults are often reactivated multiple times and provide locations for mineralization and fluid flow during metamorphism.

Remote Sensing

DMIRS sourced Aster remote sensing shows distinct evidence of accumulation of opaque minerals (eg; manganese, iron) and ferrous MgOH carbonate (Fe-Mg in laterite) associated with the basin margin of the Paterson Orogen and Tarcunyah Group with the Archaean basement to the west.

The open file Aster data has some artefacts of cloud cover in certain swathe paths, which can be seen in false colour images or in the Landgate airphoto. Cloud edges and shadows create artefacts

Figure 7. ASTER open file data opaque index (left) and Ferrous Iron Index (right) illuminates faultassociated alteration and laterite caps

These lateritic accumulations correlate with weaker and more restricted anomalies of AlOH content and low ferric (reduced) iron. Aluminium rich rocks can be created from weathering of sulphides.

The association of lateritic Mg-Fe-Al with the basin margin fault requires some basic reconnaissance to determine if this Fe-Mg accumulation along the fault represents hydrothermal activity, or an unconformity-related deposit of some kind, and whether this activity is related to a mineralizing process or not.

Structural Model

E45/5667 Throssell Range sits within a sub-basin of the Paterson Orogen. This sub basin is envisaged as a slice of stratigraphy, tilted east, bounded by a basin-margin fault to the west and a major internal sub-basin fault to the east.

These faults have been reactivated during basin closure during orogeny, resulting in reclosed normal faults that are thrusted out. The faults provide potential pathways for hydrothermal fluids and mineralization, whereas the reactive rocks of the Waroongunyah Formation provide a reducing chemical trap for mineralization.

Balanced reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or
widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
 Not applicable to this stage of exploration.
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.
 Not applicable in relation to this tenement.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (eg 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.
 AVW is currently planning its exploration
program. Further work will likely include
airborne VTEM, ground gravity and Geochem
soils program over the main targets with the
aim to define a drilling program.
