ASX Release

29[th] August 2024

Narryer Project: 54 m of graphite mineralisation at Ranger

  • NY001RC intersects 54 m of graphitic mineralisation 198 m – 252 m (eoh) o includes 20 m > 10% visually estimated graphite from 232 m

  • Hole abandoned in high-grade graphite due to excess water

  • Assay results expected mid-October

  • 7 km trend at Oculus is now highly prospective for similar mineralisation

Buxton Resources Ltd (‘Buxton’; ASX:BUX) is pleased update shareholders in relation to activities at the 100% owned Narryer Project, in the Murchison region of WA.

NY001RC, the maiden Buxton drill hole at the Narryer Project aimed to test a ground EM target at the Ranger Prospect (Figure 1). Graphite mineralisation was intersected at depth as predicted by the EM model (Figure 2).

Visual estimates by Buxton geologists indicate that NY001RC intersected continuous graphite mineralisation from 198 metres depth to the end-of hole (Figure 3, Table 1). Continuous high-grade graphite (visually estimated > 10% TGC) was observed from 232 metres to 252 metres depth, at which depth excessive water caused the hole to be abandoned.

The rig has now been released, and Buxton will prioritise assaying the mineralised interval for Total Graphitic Carbon (TGC) with results expected by mid-October.

While the drilling program has downgraded the nickel potential of the Ranger target, the thickness, apparent high-grade and visual evidence of a coarse flake component within the graphitic interval in NY001RC provides significant encouragement for further graphite exploration in the Project area.

Significantly, the ground EM conductors modelled at the nearby Oculus prospect are now most likely to be related to similar graphitic mineralisation. These conductors have been confirmed to be legitimate bedrock conductors by modelling of Buxton’s recent ground EM survey data (see ASX Announcement 22 May 2024). The related airborne EM conductivity trends extend over >7 linear / strike kilometres around the Oculus Prospect (Figure 4) and define a relatively simple fold structure.

Buxton has commenced modelling “early time” ground EM data to determine the potential for up-dip / shallower extensions to the drill-confirmed graphite mineralisation at Ranger and the EM models at Oculus will be similarly revisited. The current models are based solely on mid-late time EM channels (standard practice for targeting sulphide mineralisation).

Planning works for Loupe EM and Heritage surveys at Oculus are also underway. Buxton has successfully utilised the Loupe EM surveying method to target recent RC drilling at Graphite Bull (see ASX Announcement 23 October 2023).

About the Narryer Project

The Narryer Project is comprised of four Exploration Licenses covering 452 km[2] located within the Narryer Terrane which forms part of the Archean Yilgarn Craton margin that hosts the recently discovered, world-class Julimar Ni-Cu-PGE Project. This discovery by Chalice Mining Ltd and the presence of numerous Ni-Cu-PGE occurrences along a >1,000km strike length defines the West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province. In addition to Ni-Cu-PGE prospectivity, Buxton has also now identified that the Narryer Project has potential for graphite and carbonatite-related Rare Earth Element (REE) style deposits and regolith-hosted REE within both Proterozoic and Archean successions.

During 2021 & 2022, Buxton completed ground reconnaissance, a regionally extensive 1-km spaced ground gravity survey and a highly targeted 2566.6-line km Airborne EM survey. Interpretation of the AEM data has identified multiple high priority anomalies, three of which warranted immediate followup by moving loop EM, which was completed at Bandito, Prodigy and Ranger Prospects in early 2023. Additional soil sampling was conducted over AEM targets in late 2003 which provided encouragement to extend the Ranger ground EM coverage to the nearby Oculus Prospect, which hosts a large eye-shaped conductivity feature. The recent RC drilling at Ranger indicates that the high-conductance ground EM target at Ranger is caused by thick graphite mineralisation with visually estimated high-grades (>10% TGC). Future exploration will test if the extensive conductors at the nearby Oculus Prospect are also related to similarly thick, high-grade graphite mineralisation.

JORC Table: Section 1 – Sampling Techniques and Data

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.
Reverse Circulation drilling was completed using
standard industry best practice.
Reverse Circulation drilling produced samples that were
collected at one-metre intervals. A one metre ‘split’
sample was collected in pre-numbered calico bags at the
time of drilling using a cone splitter integrated into the
drill cyclone to produce an approximate 1.5kg sample,
which is considered representative of the full drill metre.
The residual material from each metre interval was
collected in 600mm x 900mm biodegradable bags
preserved at the drill sites whilst laboratory analysis is
ongoing.
Drill samples selected for analysis were limited to those
containing visible graphite (using the one metre split
samples) alongside composites containing either a two,
three or four-metre buffer either side of the visible
intervals.
Analyses will be undertaken by ALS Geochemistry in
Perth and include Total Graphitic Carbon with other
parameters as necessary.
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 (e.g. ‘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 (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g., core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and
details (e.g. 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).
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was undertaken by by
Topdrill PL using a Schroamm T685 truck mounted rig
(RC).
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
RC recoveries were considered good with available air
for drill sample recovery being deemed adequate for the
ground conditions and depth of sampling undertaken.
Appropriate measures have been undertaken to
maximise sample recovery and ensure the
representative nature of samples, including:
-
Terminating RC holes when recovery amounts
are reduced at depth
-
Terminating RC holes when excess water is
encountered
No apparent relationship has been defined between
sample recovery and grade based on the various drilling
programs to date at Graphite Bull.
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.
Chip trays were collected from each one metre interval
this was used to log lithology, oxidation and visual
graphite content estimate a streak test was used to
assist with visual estimates alongside historical samples.
Visual estimates for TGC were based on comparison with
historic samples from Buxton’s Graphite Bull Project,
YBRC0018 and YBRC0019 which constituted 276 metres
of previously assayed material with grades from 0.1% to
30.9% TGC. This included 52 samples greater than 10%
TGC. 19 samples from 5-10% and 87 samples from 0-5%.
Samples were noted if they were wet or where recovery
was significantly impacted.
Photographs of all RC chip trays will be taken at BUX’s
coreprocessingfacilityat the Project,and in Perth and
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.
_Core(or costean, channel, etc) photography. _

and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias)
and precision have been established.
In addition to duplicate samples (detailed above),
Quality Control and Quality Assurance (QA/QC)
procedures included insertion of standards (three
different standards each certified for TGC at three
different abundance levels appropriate for the expected

Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures,
data verification, data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
Logging and sampling were recorded directly into a
digital database.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. Not applicable, the release does not include laboratory
assayresults.
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.
The surface hole collar location was surveyed using a
handheld Garmin GPS unit with an expected accuracy of
±6m for easting and northing with elevation also
recorded.
Drill path gyroscopic surveys were at 0m and at
subsequent 30m downhole intervals to final hole depth
usingan Axis Gyro tool.
Specification of the grid system used. All surface surveying was completed using a handheld
GPS to MGA94/Zone 50 Southgrid system.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Topographic control was provided by a Digital Elevation
Model (DEM) derived from the SRTM dataset which
provided a DEM with a +/- 3.5m vertical accuracy
(Elsonbaty et al 2023).
This is deemed adequate for first-pass exploration
drilling, particularly given that topographic relief is
extremelylow.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. See drill tables for drill hole location.
Only a single hole has been drilled at the Ranger
prospect, and so this spacing and distribution is not
considered suitable for mineral resource estimation.
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.
The orientation of the drilling is not expected to
introduce sampling bias. All drill holes have intersected
the mineralisation at a sufficient angle to the strike and
dip of the mineralised units.
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. The chain-of-sample custody is managed by the BUX
staff from collection at the rig to the submission of the
samples to ALS Limited – Perth for analysis.
Samples are being stored at the drillsite before being
transported and processed at BUX’s secure sample
processing and storage facility in Perth.
The diamond drill core will be wet cut using a diamond
blade and sampled at BUX’s core processing facility in
Perth by BUX staff and contractors.
Diamond drill core samples will be placed in pre-
numbered calico bags and further secured in green
plastic sample bags with cable ties. The samples are
further secured in a bulk bag and delivered to the ALS -
Perth by contractor freight service.
Sample reconciliation advice is sent by ALS-Perth to
BUX’s Geological Database Administrator on receipt of
the samples.
Any inconsistences between the despatch paperwork
and samples received is resolved with BUX before
sample preparation commences.
Sample preparation and analysis is completed at one of
the ALS laboratories in Perth.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The Narryer Project area is located on the north western
margin of the Yilgarn Craton.
The surface geology of the Narryer Project is dominated
by tertiary lateritic weathering profiles and Tertiary-
Quaternary drainage basin sediments that largely
obscure the basement geology.
Basement geology consists of Archean rocks of the
Narryer Gneiss Terrane and, in the far northwest, the late
Mesoproterozoic - Neoproterozoic Badgeradda Group.
These two distinct geological terranes are juxtaposed
along the Meeberie fault.
The Narryer Gneiss Terrane is composed of a tectonically
interleaved and poly deformed mixture of granite, mafic
intrusions and metasedimentary rocks in excess of 3.3
billion years old, with the majority in excess of 3.6 billion
years old.

The rocks have experienced multiple metamorphic
events at amphibolite or granulite conditions, resulting in
often complete destruction of original igneous or
sedimentary (protolith) textures.
The Narryer Gneiss Terrane is divided into four major
rock sequences (Myers 1990); the Dugel Gneiss,
Meeberrie Gneiss, Manfred Complex, and unassigned
polydeformed leucocratic gneisses and metasediments.
Graphite mineralisation is hosted by quartz-felspathic
and hornblende gneisses and chloritic schists that are
most likely from the Mount Narryer gneissic complex.
The hornblende gneiss gradually included slivers of
graphite which in turn became massive.

5%. The intercept intervals have been selected so as to
contain minimal internal dilution (material less than 5%
visual estimated TGC over a maximum of 10% of the
estimated interval length).
No weighted averages are reported and a high-grade cut-
off of 10% visually estimated TGC has been used.
No reporting of metal equivalent values has been
included in this release.
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.
See text and figures in body of release for the
orientation of drillholes.
Modelling of Ground EM results, indicate that graphite
mineralisation at the Ranger prospect has a shallow dip
(plunge) of 20 degrees toward 160 degrees grid north.
Graphite mineralisation was intersected when the RC
hole was plunging 66.5 degrees towards 303.73 grid
north.
The true thickness of drilled intersections reported
herein is therefore approximately 97% of the measured
thickness in drilling.
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.
See text and figures 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.
The announcement does not relate to assay data.
The release contains information relating to visual
estimates which were estimated on each metre drilled.
The basis of reporting mineralised intervals is described
above. The release is therefore comprehensive and
balanced with respect to visually estimated grades and
widths intersected in the drilling program.
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.
All exploration data which may be meaningful and
material to the interpretation of the drilling results is
presented within this release.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests
for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale
step-out drilling).
See text and figures 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 figures in body of release.
