DOUBLE MAGIC Ni-Cu PROJECT EXPLORATION UPDATE

  • Known extent of sulphide mineralisation greatly expanded;

  • 25 of the 26 drill holes completed at Merlin in 2017 have intersected Ni-Cu sulphides,

  • System still open in all directions,

  • Merlin prospectivity enhanced

  • Assay highlights include;

  • 6m @ 1.04% Ni, 0.19% Cu from 53m, DMRC0038

  • 4.75m @ 1.00 % Ni, 0.29% Cu from 310.85m, DMDD0014

  • 3.5m @ 1.37% Ni, 0.19% Cu from 318m, DMDD0014

  • 0.4m @ 2.73% Ni, 0.44% Cu from 305.4m, DMDD0012

  • Second zone of massive sulphide mineralisation identified;

  • Possible feeder zone with brecciated and net-textured sulphides

  • High amplitude down-hole EM anomaly in DMDD0014;

  • Open to south and southwest

  • Immediate drill target next field season

Buxton Resources Limited (ASX: BUX) is pleased to report that all assays for the 2017 drill program at Double Magic have been received. Several intersections have returned grades above 1% Ni. Of the 26 holes drilled, 25 intersected magmatic Ni-Cu sulphides confirming a much-increased extent of Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation at Merlin. A very large, complex mineralised magmatic system, still open in all directions, continues to be discovered within the Ruins Dolerite.

Fieldwork during 2017 has substantially expanded the known extent of continuous sulphide mineralisation along strike (~1,500m) and down-dip (>600m). A second possible conduit or feeder, with brecciated massive sulphide (DMDD0014) indicating high-energy emplacement, has now been located 450 metres south-east of the 2015 discovery at Conductor D.

A possible high-grade trend has been identified within the broader magmatic Ni-Cu sulphide system (Figures 1-4), providing one obvious target for future drilling. Higher-grade mineralisation along this trend includes stringer or net-textured sulphides, massive sulphides, and/or brecciated massive sulphide. This trend appears open to the south and south-west as indicated by recent down-hole transient electromagnetic (DHTEM) results, which are supported by geological observations in up-dip holes.

The presence of brecciated massive sulphides is particularly encouraging, indicating forceful injection or re-working of massive sulphides in a high-energy magmatic environment, something usually considered an essential part of the processes involved in forming large, high-grade magmatic sulphide deposits. This discovery of brecciated sulphides at Merlin is therefore a very strong confirmation of the genetic model, and consequent prospectivity, of the Merlin mineralised system as it demonstrates the system had the capability to segregate and deposit high-grade massive sulphides.

A plan of drill hole locations is included as Figure 2 and drill hole details listed in Table 2. A cross-section through the east of the Merlin Prospect shows the location of brecciated massive sulphides (Figure 4). Table 1 lists all 2017 intersections above 0.25% Ni, greater than 2m in length (with up to 2m of subgrade).

Geophysics

DHTEM surveying of the last hole of the 2017 program, DMDD0014, indicated the hole successfully intercepted the modelled conductor, which was then refined as being approximately 150mx50m in size and probably extending to the south or south-west.

The very high in-hole response amplitude in DMDD0014 has masked any more distant responses, including from any other electrically disconnected conductors within the same broad geological horizon. This means that additional conductors in the area may not have been detected by any EM completed to date. Step-out holes drilled specifically to provide platforms for DHTEM, as well as more traditional holes testing geological targets, may be required to effectively explore this trend.

==> picture [463 x 299] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5 – Cross-section close-up of DMDD0014 and DMDD0012 showing modelled high conductance DHTEM plate. Conductor is open to the south and southwest. Note primary net-textured Ni-Cu mineralisation in DMDD0014 above the DHTEM plate.

Geophysical assessment and reporting is still underway. Apart from routine gyro surveying, holes were down-hole logged for TEM, conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, and natural gamma. Six selected holes were also logged for gamma-gamma (density), and down-hole Induced Polarisation (DHIP). Benchtop petrophysical testwork on core from DMDD0005 will be completed in coming weeks to assist interpretation of DHIP logging results, pursuant to better understanding the nature of the large IP anomaly identified in 2016.

As the excellent intercepts from DMDD0014, DMDD0012 and DMRC0038 came towards the end of the funded 2017 work program, Buxton elected to suspend drilling until all data has been received and thoroughly assessed. With large fires in the area and the next wet season now imminent, further drilling this calendar year is not feasible.

Buxton Resources acknowledges the support of the Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum for their contribution via the WA Exploration Incentive Scheme and has applied for further assistance for the 2018 drill programme.

Buxton looks forward to updating investors as work progresses on this challenging but exciting project.

JORC Table: Section 1 – Sampling Techniques and Data

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

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 Percussion (RC) rig, and an HQ diamond core
wireline rig equipped with core orientation equipment.
The drill-hole locations are picked up by handheld GPS.
Previous drill programs holes have been surveyed by
licensed surveyors with DGPS. Sampling was carried out
under Buxton protocols and QAQC procedures are per
industry best practice.
RC drilling was sampled on 1m intervals. A rig mounted
cyclone and cone splitter was used to provide a bulk
sample and a representative split sample for assay. Core
sample lengths vary up to 1.67 metres, quarter HQ core
submitted for analysis.
Samples have been submitted to Intertek Genalysis in
Perth for analysis. A standard dry, crush and pulverize
was followed by a four-acid digestion finished with ICP-
MS for a suite of 48 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).
The 2017 drilling drill programs are being drilled By Core
Drilling. Reverse Circulation drilling is using a Schramm
T685 drilling rig with Auxiliary and Booster using a
150mm face hammer. Diamond drilling is using an EDM
2000 truck mounted rig, drilling HQ core from surface.
RC hole DMRC0035 was extended with NQ core. All core
orientated using a TruCore orientation device on each
drill run. All drill holes have been by downhole gyro to
determine accurate hole trajectories.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
The RC ‘s sample recovery and moisture are routinely
recorded. All samples show good recovery and are dry.
It is not believed that any bias has occurred due to loss
or gain of sample.
All core was measured on-site, recoveries calculated and
reconciled with driller’s plods.
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.
All 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
mineralisation percentages. All data was codified to a set
of company code systems. All core is orientated, RQD
logged, all structural data measured and recorded. All
chips and core 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 RC 1m intervals were split with a rig mounted cone
splitter. All HQ core was sawn at a constant angle to
orientation markings, sampled to geological boundaries,
up to a maximum of 1.67 metres in length. Quarter core
submitted for assay. 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 exploration samples will be analysed at Intertek
Genalysis in Perth, Australia. Sample preparation
included drying, crushing, splitting and pulverizing. A
four acid digest followed by a 48 element MS. Previous
drill used a 4 acid digest with an OE finish and a 25 g fire
assay for Pt and Pd.
Metallurgical flotation testing was carried out by ALS on
three 12 kg samples on ¼ and or ½ core from the 2015
drilling. Core was crushed and ground to 106um with
natural pH with excess collector Sodium Ethyl Xanthate
(SEX) and A3477 with MIBC (frother) added as froth
stability required.
The laboratories 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.
Not applicable.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
Significant mineralisation has been verified by
consultants and alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes. Two RC holes for the 2015 drill program (DMRC0003 and
17) have been twinned by HQ diamond core holes
DMDD0001 and 2 respectively, confirming mineralisation
in both cases. Core has been logged but not sawn for
samplingasgeological work is ongoing.
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 into
the company database and extra validation is carried
out. Physical data sheets are stored at the company
office. Digital data is securelyarchived 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.
Handheld GPS (+/-5m) as well as reference to
topographical and remote sensing data. Drillhole collars
from the 2015 drill program were pickup by licensed
surveyor.
Specification of thegrid system used. MGA51(GDA94).
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. A DEM (digital terrain model) was created from the
altimeter data from the aerial magnetic survey and is
deemed sufficient for this stage of exploration.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. The current drill program is reconnaissance and step out
from the 2015 drilling program, spacing is deemed
appropriate for this stage of exploration.
Not applicable – No Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve
calculations have been performed.
The 2015 drilling had some RC composite samples taken
in non mineralised material into 2 or 4 metre composites
from one metre bags using a spear. No sample
compositing has taken place in the 2017 drilling to date.
Metallurgical samples were composite samples from drill
core.
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.
Information from orientated core indicates that drillhole
orientation is appropriate for disseminated and massive
matrix mineralisation.
All mineralised 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.
Laboratorybestpractice methods were employed bythe
laboratory upon receipt. Returned pulps will be stored at

Mineral tenement and
land tenure status
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership
including agreements or material issues with third parties
such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties,
native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or
national park and environmental settings.
The Double Magic Project is located in the Kimberley
region of Western Australia and consists of four
exploration licences (E04/1533, E04/2142, E04/2026 &
E04/2060) held by Alexander Creek Pty Ltd. Alexander
Creek Pty Ltd is a wholly (100%) owned subsidiary of
Buxton Resources Limited.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting
along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence
to operate in the area.
The tenements are in good standing with the DMP and
there are no known impediments for exploration on
these tenements.
Exploration done by
other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.
Data used during the appraisal 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. Any 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 mineralisation. This
mineralisation is interpreted to represent primary
orthomagmatic sulphide mineralisation, however there
appears to be significant re-working and alteration of
the mineralisation in places (in particular at the Jack’s
Hill Gossan where the mineralisation 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 mineralisation.
Drill hole Information A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information for all Material
drill holes:
See Tables in body of release.
o_easting and northing of the drill hole collar_
o_elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea_
level in metres) of the drill hole collar
o_dip and azimuth of the hole_
o_down hole length and interception depth_
o_hole length_
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis
that the information is not Material and this exclusion
does not detract from the understanding of the report,
the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is
the case.

(eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.
No weighting, truncations, aggregates or metal
equivalents were used.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of
high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results,
the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such aggregations should
be shown in detail.
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.
The relationship between the true mineralisation width
and intercept length is not known at this early stage of
drilling, however true width of the intercepts in most
holes is interpreted to be less than intercept length.
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’).
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.
Refer to figures/tables in body of release.
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.
All currently available exploration results have been
reported.
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.
Wireline Services Group have undertaken high powered
downhole electromagnetic surveying (DHTEM) over
Merlin at the Double Magic Project to assist with drill
hole targeting.

Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for
lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-
out drilling).
See text in body of release.
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions, including the main geological interpretations
and future drilling areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
See modelled conductors in Figures within the text of
this report. Additional zones of interest may be
established based on geological information (such as
drilling or downhole data). Regionally, the extensive
land package containing significant exposure of the
nickeliferous host lithology the Ruin’s Dolerite are of
exploration interest.
