ASX Release

DOUBLE MAGIC NI-CU PROJECT – NEW NICKEL PROVINCE CONFIRMED

  • >3% Ni mineralisation intersected at 3 separate targets (B, C, D)

  • High grade mineralisation at Conductor D remains open along strike and down plunge. Drilling targeting extensions is planned

  • First pass Ni-Cu mineral exploration (Buxton’s aerial VTEM survey) over large un-explored areas of mapped Ruins Dolerite to the east of the main project area has identified 22 new conductors, of which an initial 8 have been prioritised for immediate follow-up subject to weather and access

  • Diamond drill core assays received

  • An interpretation of mineralisation geometry and genesis at Double Magic has been developed based on all data available; this confirms the potential of the project to host significant deposits

  • Buxton to continue Phase 3 drilling and exploration programs as soon as weather and access permits

Buxton Resources Limited (ASX: BUX & BUXO) advises that final assay results have now been received for both diamond core holes sampled as part of Phase 2 drill program at the Double Magic Ni-Cu Project (location in Figure 9). Three separate targets have now returned drillhole intercepts >3% Ni, with results of up to 8.14% Ni in diamond drill core (see Table 1 & 2 below).

The Double Magic Project has been confirmed by drilling as hosting better than economic Ni-Cu grades and thicknesses, marking a historic turning point for mineral exploration in the West Kimberley. Five months after entering the region, Buxton has become the first explorer to detect high grade magmatic sulphides in the Ruins Dolerite, confirming the genetic model, exploration vectors, and potential of the project area to host significant nickel-copper deposits. This success is despite more than 50 years of exploration by other parties, validating Buxton’s acquisition of the Double Magic project in late April 2015.

Importantly, all geophysical targets (conductors) drill tested to date have proven to be related to nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation, with no false conductors identified. This is of particular relevance given the number of new VTEM conductors now identified further to the east (Fireant Prospect and elsewhere) where no previous exploration has been undertaken.

Summarising achievements to date, Eamon Hannon, Buxton’s CEO said: “Buxton can certainly be pleased with, and proud of, the significant advancements the small team has made at the Double Magic project in the past 5 months. Over this short period of time, the company has proven for the first time the existence of thick and high grade nickel and copper mineralisation within the Ruins Dolerite.”

“Buxton has the first mover advantage in what we now consider exceptionally prospective ground, in one of the world’s best jurisdictions for exploration.”

“The company has immediate follow up drilling targets at Conductors B, C and D and in addition numerous high priority new targets in previously unexplored areas.”

“The Buxton team is greatly buoyed with these results and we are counting down the days until returning to Double Magic for Phase 3 exploration targeting significant nickelcopper accumulations, once weather and access permits.”

In-depth Review of Exploration Results

An in-depth review of results from the Merlin Prospect (area of exploration to date), incorporating structural data from core, full 3D analysis of geology, and a review of geophysical data, has revealed multiple additional drill targets at and around Conductors D and A-B.

Regionally, analysis of finalised VTEM results from the aerial survey flown in October (~55km[2] ), combined with data from the regional heli-mapping completed in August, has identified 8 high priority targets within large volumes of completely un-explored Ruins Dolerite to the east (Fireant Prospect). The targets have primarily been identified by strong VTEM conductors which appear much longer and/or larger in area than any previously seen in the region. These outstanding targets will be followed up as soon as weather conditions allow with more detailed geological mapping, rock chip sampling and ground geophysics, to further refine drillhole targeting.

Assay Results

Final assays have been received for both the diamond core holes samples sampled, DMDD0003 at Conductor C and DMDD0004 at Conductor D. Samples are of HQ3 quarter core, 1 metre in length or less as determined by geological logging. Core from the holes drilled as twins of DMRC0003 and DMRC0017 (DMDD0001 and DMDD0002) is being retained intact for ongoing technical studies so has not been sampled.

Assay results have confirmed previously-reported visual assessment of core. Several different styles and types of mineralisation have been confirmed with varying levels and ratios of the main sulphides pyrrhotite, pentlandite, and chalcopyprite. Grades of up to 8.14% Ni have been intersected in core. See Figures 1, 2 and 3 for a section and plan of Conductor D, and a plan of the central area of the Double Magic Project.

See Figures 4 and 5 for core photographs of high-grade mineralisation at Conductors D and C.

A full listing of all >0.25% and >1% Ni intercepts from the two diamond core holes is provided below in Table 1. All Buxton’s RC drilling results were previously reported on 2[nd] November 2015. A summary of high grade >3% Ni intersections from all Buxton drilling (RC and diamond core) is provided below in Table 2. Full spatial detail for all Buxton’s drillholes is provided in Table 3.

The company reminds readers that mineralised intercepts reported are not to be considered as true thicknesses. At Conductor D, the interpreted general geometry of mineralisation indicates that true thickness of the 17 metre high-grade intersection in discovery hole DMRC0003, is probably around 6-8 metres. True thicknesses elsewhere at Merlin are likely to be between 40% and 100% of the drillhole intersection length. Note that massive sulphide geometries in particular can be very irregular to amorphous, making true thickness estimates difficult.

Interpretative Comments

==> picture [228 x 71] intentionally omitted <==

An interpretation of mineralisation geometry and genesis at the Merlin Prospect (Double Magic Project) has been developed incorporating all new data collected during the recently completed 2015 field season.

Nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation is interpreted to occur both as primary magmatic accumulations in the original mafic-ultramafic melt, and as structurally remobilised and/or enriched veins or pods. Buxton is the first explorer to detect high grade magmatic sulphides in the Ruins Dolerite of the West Kimberley, confirming the genetic model, exploration vectors, and potential of the project to host significant deposits.

At Conductor D, the high grades, textural characteristics, overall geometry of mineralisation, litho-geochemistry, and juxtaposition of differing rock types suggest that mineralisation represents a primary accumulation of sulphides proximal to a feeder conduit. The feeder conduit or related structural feature was then subsequently stoped out by the later, barren, highly magnetic dolerite dyke identified during mapping in August. Several such dykes have been mapped in the area, generally between 10 and 30 metres thick, dipping approximately at right angles to the interpreted original Ruins Dolerite sill orientation.

Some limited remobilisation of sulphides has also occurred at Conductor D, possibly during later regional tectonism.

Mineralisation seen at Conductors A, B, C, H and I (as well as at Jack’s Hill) exhibits much greater structural influence, particularly where higher grades occur. However, the enveloping low-grade disseminated sulphide zones may represent primary mineralisation, albeit much more distal from any feeder conduit than Conductor D.

Detailed review of ground and aerial geophysical results in conjunction with geological and structural interpretations indicate substantial un-tested potential exists at Conductors D, A-B, and possibly C. High grade mineralisation at Conductor D itself remains open along strike in both directions to the north-west and south-east, as well as down-plunge to the south-west.

The potential for additional separate, fault-dislocated high-grade pods, particularly to the west of Conductor D and/or at depth, is also considered to be excellent. Fault displacements of between 20 to 200m are documented at Panoramic Resources’ Sally Malay deposit in the East Kimberley (Savannah Operations), considered the most relevant model for mineralisation at Double Magic and Merlin. These faults are often low-angle (flat) and therefore difficult to detect with geophysical methods. Several unexplained diffuse VTEM anomalies exist at interpreted structural intersections, these may indicate the presence of deeper, fault-displaced conductors which have yet to be drill-tested.

Geophysics

Processing and evaluation of geophysical data has been completed. These datasets include the down-hole TEM logging of 15 selected drillholes, the high power large fixed loop TEM survey, and the regional heli-borne VTEM max survey over the balance of Buxton’s tenements, coverage as depicted in Figure 6 below.

Preliminary DHTEM and FLTEM results were fully utilized during the field season to target drill holes. Finalisation of data processing, interpretation and full reporting of these surveys has now further assisted Buxton during development of mineralization and exploration models for Double Magic.

The 2015 VTEM survey completed over previously un-explored ground yielded outstanding results. Numerous long, large and strong VTEM anomalies occur at the Fireant Propsect within areas mapped as Ruins Dolerite approximately 10-15km to the east of the Merlin Prospect which has been the focus of exploration up until now.

Additionally, many smaller discrete VTEM anomalies have also been identified of similar or larger size to those initially identifying Conductors A-B and D in 2013. From this total of 22 newly identified VTEM targets, eight have been selected for immediate on-ground follow-up as soon as access is possible at the end of the northern wet season. This

ground follow-up will include more detailed geological mapping, rock-chip sampling and ground geochemical traverses, as well as ground geophysics, to refine drill targets.

The 2015 VTEM survey was flown on north-south, 100 metre spaced flight lines, identical with the 2013 survey specifications. Refer to Figures 6, 7 & 8 for survey coverage areas and locations of areas of interest.

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.
Early stage exploration drilling at the Double Magic
project has been undertaken utilizing a Reverse
Circulation (RC) rig and a separate diamond (DD) rig.
Sampling was carried out under Buxton protocols and
QAQC procedures are per industry best practice.
RC drilling was employed to generate 1m samples. A rig
mounted cyclone and cone splitter was used to provide a
bulk sample and a representative split sample for assay.
Either the 1m split or a composite (hand speared)
sample was collected for assay purposes.
DD drilling was employed to generate HQ3 orientated
diamond core. Selected intervals of core are sawn into
quarter and submitted for assay purposes.
Samples are submitted to Intertek Genalysis in Perth for
analysis. A standard dry, crush and pulverize was
followed by a four-acid digestion finished with ICP-OES
for a suite of 33 elements.
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.
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).
WBH Drilling completed a total of 15 holes for 1790m of
RC drilling at the Double Magic Project during the Phase
2 drill program. Including Phase 1, WBH has now drilled a
total of 3,123m of RC for Buxton at Double Magic. Holes
are all a nominal 135mm in diameter.
Terra Drilling completed a total of 4 holes for 495.3m of
orientated HQ3 diamond drilling at the Double Magic
Project,core a nominal 61.1mm in diameter.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
The RC bulk sample recovery is routinely examined for
representivity. It is not believed that any bias has
occurred due to loss or gain of sample.
Diamond core recovery averaged 98.7% overall with
minor core losses experienced having no discernable
relationship to mineralisation
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.
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.
100% of the drill holes are geologically logged in real
time by qualified and experienced geologists, recording
relevant data to a set template. All logging included
lithological features, mineral assemblages and estimated
mineralization percentages. All data was codified to a set
of company code systems. All DD drill core and RC chips
are photographed.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.
_Core(or costean, channel, etc) photography. _
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or
all core taken.
All 1m intervals were split with a rig mounted cone
splitter. Less mineralised analysis samples were prepared
as multiple metre (generally 4m composites) spear
samples. Sample preparation is consistent with industry
best practice. Field QC procedures involved the use of
certified reference material assay standards, blanks and
duplicates for company QC measures, and laboratory
standards, replicate assaying and barren washes for
laboratory QC measures. The insertion rate of each of
these QAQC measures averaged 1:20. The sample size is
deemed appropriate for the material and analysis
method.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the samplepreparation technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling
stages to maximise representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected, including
for instance results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of
the material being sampled.
Quality of assay data
and laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.
The samples were analysed at Intertek Genalysis in
Perth, Australia. Sample preparation included drying,
crushing, splitting and pulverizing. A four acid digest
followed by a 33 element ICP analysis was conducted on
all samples. The laboratory procedures are considered to
be appropriate for reporting according to industry best
practice.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and model, reading
times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation,
etc.
Not applicable.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias)
and precision have been established.
The results of the laboratory-inserted standards, blanks
and sample repeats demonstrate the accuracy and
precision of methods employed. Buxton also insert
certified standards and duplicate samples which have
been reviewed and deemed acceptable.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
Significant mineralization has been verified by
alternative company personnel and independent
consultants.
The use of twinned holes. There have been two twinned holes completed, both at
Conductor D. The ‘Discovery’ hole (DMRC0003), and the
significantly mineralised hole to the south of the dyke
(DMRC0017). These RC holes were twinned by DD holes
to better understand the textures and structure of the
mineralisation at Double Magic.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures,
data verification, data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
All data is collected initially on paper and handheld GPS.
This data is hand entered to spread sheets and validated
by Company geologists. This data is then imported and
validated using MapInfo software. Physical data sheets
are stored at the company office. Digital data is securely
archived on and off-site.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. No adjustments to assay data have been made.
Location of data
points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes
(collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Drillhole collars were located by a licensed surveyor
using precision DGPS equipment, to accuracies of +/-
0.025m in east and north, +/- 0.05m in RL.
Specification of thegrid system used. MGA51(GDA94).
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Initial topographic elevation was recorded via handheld
GPS and checked against remote sensing data. An
accurate DTM of the central area was constructed by
licensed surveyor usingDGPS equipment.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Drill holes are based on geophysical and geological
targets and not equally spaced.
Not applicable – No Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve
calculations have been performed.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimationprocedure(s) and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which
this is known, considering the deposit type.
Within the limits of present (early stage) geological
knowledge, drillholes are planned to intersect
mineralised zones at high angles. Orthogonal and some
scissor holes are also drilled to minimize any bias risk.
All mineralized intervals are down hole intervals, not
true width.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and
the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered
to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples were packaged and stored in secure storage
from the time of gathering through to submission.
Laboratory best practice methods were employed by the
laboratory upon receipt. Returned pulps will be stored at
a secure companywarehouse.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
No audits of the sampling techniques or data were
carried out due to the early stage of exploration. It is
considered by the Company that industry best practice
methods have been employed at all stages of the
exploration.

Historical data used during the exploration of the
Double Magic Project (previously known as the
Alexander Creek Project, Clara Hills, Jack’s Hill,
Limestone Springs & Maura’s Reward) has been
collected by numerous exploration parties, including
Alexander Creek Pty Ltd, Victory Mines Limited
(ASX:VIC), Proto Resources and Investments Limited
(ASX:PRW), and Ram Resources Limited (ASX:RMR). All
geophysical data has been independently reviewed by
Southern Geoscience Consultants. All historical data
presented has been previously reported under JORC
2004 and there has been no material change.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The Project area lies within the Palaeoproterozoic
Hooper Province of the King Leopold Orogen in the
Kimberley region of Western Australia. The geology of
the Project is characterized by mica schists of the
Marboo Formation which are intruded by thick sills of
the Ruins Dolerite. The Ruins Dolerite is a medium- to
fine-grained mafic-ultramafic intrusive that is host to
the known nickel-copper sulphide mineralization. This
mineralization is interpreted to represent primary
orthomagmatic sulphide mineralization, however there
appears to be significant re-working and alteration of
the mineralization in places (in particular at the Jack’s
Hill Gossan where the mineralization is dominated by
copper carbonates and contains limited nickel).
Importantly the gossan at Jack’s Hill does not have an
electromagnetic (EM) signature, whereas the EM
targets tested to date all appear to be due to nickel and
copper enriched sulphide mineralization.
