The Board of Bulletin Resources (ASX: BNR, Bulletin) provides the following Quarterly Report for the period ending 31 December 2019. Bulletin has the long term ambition to develop producing assets by exploration and development from the acquisition and accumulation of a quality portfolio of tenements in prospective areas.
Lake Rebecca Gold Project (80% BNR 20% MAT)
During the quarter, exploration work focussed on progressing the Lake Rebecca gold project joint venture in preparation for a maiden drilling programme which commenced in January 2020.
Work by Bulletin, comprising ground magnetics and an ultrafine soil sampling program has highlighted gold anomalism along strike of AOP gold in drilling intercepts as well as eastern extensions interpreted to be associated with mineralised fault structures (Figure 1). (Refer BNR ASX announcement 28 November 2019)

Discussion and Further Work
Gold mineralisation in the Lake Rebecca area is associated with wide zones of disseminated sulphides comprising pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite in altered granodiorite and gneiss and associated with deformation and silicification. Within these broad mineralised zones, several higher gold grade, generally west dipping lodes are developed.
A program of ultrafine soil sampling was completed during the quarter in the southwest portion of Bulletin’s tenure, adjacent to AOP’s Lake Rebecca project. The technique was developed by CSIRO to test for mineralisation in areas of transported regolith cover, such as at Lake Rebecca (reference: MRIWA report No. 462). Samples were collected on a 50m x 100m grid spacing in the south and a 100m x 200m grid spacing in the north.
A map of the upper 50 percentile to 90 percentile of ultrafine soil gold ppb results is shown in Figure 1. The results show the northern extension of AOP’s Laura lode extends northward into Bulletin’s tenure and a subparallel gold anomaly overlying a NNW trending magnetic high is present in the far western portion of the tenement. To the east, a NE trending gold soil anomaly is interpreted to be associated with a NE trending break in the magnetics, possibly representing a fault structure. Local scale ground magnetics note NE and NW trends. Gold in soil anomalies broadly correlate with these trends, suggesting gold is associated with structural events as well as lithological control. Arcuate north-south magnetic highs are interpreted to be ultramafic units. Further details can be found in BNR ASX announcement dated 28 November 2019.
An RC drilling program of eight holes planned to initially test the soil anomalies commenced after quarter end in January 2020. As well as testing anomalous gold in soil areas, the drilling will be used to assist structural and lithological interpretation of the area in order to aid interpretation and identification of other areas in Bulletin’s tenure. Results are expected late January/early February 2020.
Heritage
A heritage survey was recently conducted over the entire tenement package. The Aboriginal Consultants and Representatives were supportive of activity on Lake Rebecca, a registered heritage site. With the support of the Aboriginal representatives, a Section 18 application to provide access to Lake Rebecca was submitted to the Aboriginal Cultural Material Committee with an outcome expected in the near term. Exploration and drilling on the lake can then commence immediately upon access being granted.
Background
Lake Rebecca comprises two Exploration Licences over a 172km[2] area. It is located approximately 25 km southeast of the historic gold town of Pinjin, in the Eastern Goldfields Province 150km east of Kalgoorlie, WA. The project is located in the southern part of the Laverton Tectonic Zone, a regional scale shear/fault system that is one of the more productive gold trends in the WA Goldfields, hosting the Sunrise Dam, Wallaby, Lancefield, Red October and Granny Smith gold mines. The tenements are adjacent to, and along strike of AOP’s Rebecca Gold project.
Corporate
In late December 2019 Cor Cordis, the Receivers and Managers appointed to Coolgardie Minerals Limited (“CM1”), advised Bulletin that they were nearing completion of an agreement to sell the Geko gold project. Settlement of the acquisition is expected to occur early in 2020.
Bulletin confirms that it has received legal advice that its interests in the Geko gold mine remain and accordingly Bulletin retains a royalty, profit share interest and joint venture interest in the Geko Gold Mine. Bulletin has no financial obligations or liabilities to CM1 or to the Geko gold mine.
Bulletin continues to hold 2.5 million CM1 shares that it took up in the CM1 IPO in August 2018.

During the quarter, Bulletin continued to review a number of projects with a view to acquiring suitable projects. Due diligence is continuing on a number of opportunities but at this stage there is no certainty that a transaction will occur.
Bulletin had cash and investments of approximately $1.70 million as at 31 December 2019.
