FEASIBILITY STUDY
Update
----- End of picture text -----

PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY COMMENCED

Since listing on the ASX in July 2021, Burley Minerals has commenced Pre-Feasibility Study work on the Yerecoin Iron Project:

FEASIBILITY STUDY MANAGER APPOINTED (Stewart McCallion)

METALLURGY (consultant appointed)

  • Commenced review of historical metallurgical testwork & evaluation of derived process flowsheets

  • Gap analysis underway to design ongoing metallurgical testwork to better define process design criteria and target product specification

ENVIRONMENTAL (consultant appointed)

  • Environmental Approvals Overview completed. Future studies identified to progress environmental impact assessment.

GEOLOGY & RESOURCE ESTIMATION (Exploration Manager Frank Hoppe & Resource consultant appointed)

  • Review of historical resource estimates completed. Additional work identified to upgrade confidence levels

  • Historical diamond drill core totaling some 11,129 metres, and approximately 80 drums of historical metallurgical samples has been relocated

  • Re-logging and sampling of historical diamond drill core, and field mapping of limited outcrops ongoing to identify potential for near surface resources, and provide more detail for geological interpretations and resource estimation work

  • Combinations of RC and diamond drilling planned to infill currently defined Inferred Resources to upgrade to JORC 2012 compliant Indicated category

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT (consultant appointed)

  • Engagement with Landowners and other stakeholders ongoing

IRON ORE

  • Immediate potential to extend and upgrade magnetite resources at Yerecoin Main & Yerecoin South

  • Potential for discovery of additional magnetite resources

Ni-Cu-Co-PGE

  • Historical drilling at Yerecoin South magnetite deposit intercepted abundant serpentinised ultramafic rocks adjacent to the BIF over strike length of ~3km .

  • Ultramafics extend to the bottom of some drillholes, up to 150m thick .

  • Petrographic study identified variably serpentinised ultramafic rocks (harzburgite and lherzolite pyroxenites)

  • indicative of large layered ultramafic intrusions

  • potential to host Ni-Cu-Co-PGE mineralisation

  • Chalcopyrite ( Cu sulphide ) and cobalt-bearing pentlandite and millerite ( Ni sulphides ) observed in petrographic samples, further indicating the mineralisation potential of the ultramafic intrusion(s).

Ni-Cu-Co-PGE POTENTIAL NEEDS TO BE EXPLORED

Ni-Cu-Co-PGE TARGET
----- End of picture text -----

  • Potential for Ni-Cu-Co-PGE mineralisation in ultramafic host rocks

  • ~60km north of Chalice Mining’s Gonneville PGE-Ni-Cu-Co-Au discovery – increasing in size and extent.

  • This Region has had limited exploration in recent times for this style of mineralisation, even though there are several known recorded occurrences of platinum-nickel-copper mineralisation

  • Recent exploration successes in this region:

  • Caspin Resources - Yarawindah Brook project (10-15km SW)

  • Devex Resources - Sovereign Project (10km S)

  • Liontown Resource - Moora Project (30km NW)

  • Pursuit Minerals – Calingiri East Project (25km SE)

POTENTIAL FOR THE DISCOVERY OF MORE Ni-Cu-Co-PGE DEPOSITS IN THIS NEW MINERALISATION PROVINCE.

  • Recent review of the Yerecoin drill database revealed the presence of an extensive (+3km), thick (+150m) ultramafic intrusive(s) in the vicinity of the Yerecoin South iron deposit.

  • airborne VTEM[TM] MAX survey completed in March 2021.

  • Several EM anomalies identified – follow-up ground EM planned to validate and define drill targets

  • Historical diamond drill core currently being re-logged and sampled for Ni-Cu-Co-PGE analysis
