Figure 1. Location of the Tangadee Project in the Ashburton region of Western Australia
Teck Australia Pty Ltd, Dreadnought Exploration Limited, Bellavista Resources Limited, Miramar Resources Limited, and Greatland Exploration Pty Ltd are all actively exploring for copper and associated elements (Ag, Zn, Ni) within the district.
Bellavista have announced the discovery of outcropping copper mineralisation that assayed ‘ up to 9.4% Cu (5 samples over 2% Cu) in weathered sediments, mafics and laterite’ within 1.4km to 5km of the northern boundary of Avira’s tenement E52/4439[1] .
Miramar have reported the identification of magmatic ‘ nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) sulphides (pentlandite and chalcopyrite respectively) within the Kulkatharra Dolerite in drill chips from holes located 5km to the north of the northern boundary of E52/4411. This unit of Kulkatharra Dolerite also strikes east in Avira tenement E52/4411[2] .

Figure 2. Explorers are currently active within the vicinity of Avira’s Tangadee Project area
The Tangadee Project area (779 km[2] ) straddles the faulted contact between the Edmund and Collier Basins in the Capricorn Orogen of Western Australia. Avira is targeting sediment-hosted Cu-Zn sulphide and magmatic Cu-Ni sulphide deposits, initially by drill testing three (3), already defined, late-time EM conductors (VTEM) that lie:
-
at the intersection of east-trending Mount Vernon Fault and NW-trending splays running off the Mount Vernon Fault (Targets 1 & 2) , or
-
situated in a fold hinge zone located stratigraphically about copper anomalous stratigraphy of the Edmund Group (Target 3).
These structural intersections and the fold hinge zone are the potential locus for the deposition of high-grade Cu-Zn sulphide mineralisation.
No previous exploration drilling has been conducted anywhere within the Tangadee Project area despite the plethora of high-quality exploration data that is available to Avira. Given the favorable geology and geochemistry - historical lag sample that assayed 1080 ppm Cu , areas of albitesericite alteration that could be spatially and genetically related to sulphide mineralisation, and already defined, late-time EM conductors - Avira is well positioned to advance the Tangadee Project and potentially make a copper sulphide discovery in the coming 2025 field season.

Figure 3. E52/4411: Summary of historical exploration and location of VTEM Target 1on VTEM image
Historical exploration drilling conducted within a few kilometres of E52/4411, E52/4413 and E52/4439 intersected broad intervals of highly-anomalous Zn-Cu sulphide mineralisation:
-
BHP/Aberfoyle 18m at 1.0% Zn and 0.1% Cu;
-
Bellavista 20m at 1.4% Zn and 0.14% Cu;
-
Ausquest 20m at 0.12% Cu.
The drilling planned by Avira will investigate whether these three large, flat-lying EM conductors reflect either oxidized sulphide mineralisation, conductive clay (e.g. alunite: a product of the oxidation of sulphide) and/or zones of supergene metal enrichment in the regolith lying above primary sulphide deposits.

Figure 4. E52/4413, E52/4439: Summary of historical exploration and location of VTEM Targets 2 and 3
Avira intends to target potential feeder conduits to these mineral systems.
Within E52/4411, a historical lag sample (WMC) collected on the Mount Vernon Fault assayed 1080ppm Cu, and a sample of duricrust collected by GSWA assayed 560ppm Pb and 190ppm Cu. Neither have been followed-up previously.
Within E52/4413 and E52/4439, two late-time EM anomalies (Targets 2 and 3) have been identified after the reprocessing of historical VTEM data collected for Ausquest Limited in 2018 (WAMEX A119773).
In addition to the targeting of sediment-hosted Cu-Zn sulphide deposits, late-time EM conductors may also reflect the presence of magmatic Cu-Ni sulphide deposits located either within and/or immediately adjacent to the Kulkatharra Dolerite.
Significantly, Miramar Resources Limited recently (ASX: Nickel & Copper Sulphides Confirmed at Mount Vernon, 12 Dec 2024) identified copper and nickel sulphide mineralisation in olivinebearing dolerite/gabbro 5km to the north of E52/4411. This discovery substantially enhances the prospectivity of the Kulkatharra Dolerite to host magmatic Cu-Ni sulphide deposits, and there are multiple intrusions of Kulkatharra Dolerite within E52/4411.
Avira is of the view that its strategy to test late-time EM conductors located on and near major structures (e.g. Mount Vernon Fault and associated splays), supported by anomalous copper geochemistry, and commencing with the drill-testing of three untested, late-time EM conductors has the potential to deliver early discover success.

| 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. |
Western Mining Corporation (WMC): WAMEX Reference A35009 (1990-1991) collected ‘deflation lag samples (-6mm +2mm)’ at 50m intervals along N-S lines spaced 400m apart along a 14km E-W baseline. The samples were assayed by atomic absorption spectrometry (AA) for Cu, Ag, Mn, Pb, Zn and As, which returned a peak assay of 1080ppm Cu, which is part of a 200m wide zone of +200ppm Cu on the Mount Vernon Fault. This copper anomaly was not followed-up by WMC and the samples were not assayed for nickel. WMC LAG sample assay results range: 500 to 1080 ppm Cu – 3 samples 300 to 500 ppm Cu – 5 samples 200 to 300 ppm Cu – 15 samples 100 to 200 ppm Cu – 157 samples <100 ppm Cu – 860 samples GSWA State Geochem WACHEM Database: GSWA, as part of its regional geochemistry surveying of 1:250,000 sheet areas, collected 29 samples on a notional 10km by 10km pattern. Sample 207228, recorded as ‘duricrust’, assayed 560ppm Pb and 190ppm Cu. Sampling methodology and assay technique is not recorded in this public domain database.

| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |

| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
No historical drilling has been recorded with the area now covered by E52/4411, E52/4413 and E52/4439. |
|
| 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. |
Diagrams present a pictorial summary of significant, relevant exploration data reported by past explorers that is considered relevant to the styles of Cu-Zn and Cu-Ni sulphide mineralisation to be investigated. |
|
| 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. |
The technical reporting is considered balanced as a summary of the significant exploration data presented by past explorers that relates to Cu-Zn and Cu-Ni sulphide deposit 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. |
Resminex Pty Ltd reported an area of albite-sericite alteration at Bald Hill, which now falls within E52/4411, that could be significant as an indicator of proximity to base metal sulphide mineralisation. |
|
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further | Initial work on the ground will involve the | |
| work (eg tests for lateral extensions or | validation of historical geochemical | ||
| depth extensions or large-scale step- | anomalies and the assessment of the | ||
| out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and |
