1 km x 300 m GOLD ANOMALY
Carnaby Resources Limited (ASX: CNB) ( Carnaby or the Company ) is pleased to provide an exploration update for the 100% owned Strelley and Tick Hill gold projects in the Mallina Basin, Pilbara and Mt Isa, Qld regions respectively.
Board and Management
Peter Bowler, Non-Exec Chairman Rob Watkins, Managing Director Greg Barrett, Non-Exec Director & Company Secretary
Paul Payne, Non-Exec Director
Highlights
-
At the Strelley Project, in the Pilbara of WA, first drill results received from Aircore drilling at the Palisade Prospect have defined a 1 km long by up to 300 m wide gold in silcrete anomaly with results up to 0.4 g/t gold.
-
The source of the gold anomaly at Palisade is yet to be determined and first pass deeper RC drill testing has just been completed with results awaited. Encouragingly, the gold anomaly is located on a major altered and sheared intrusion / sediment contact.
-
At the Strelley Project, the first pass aircore drilling program of 372 holes (11,167m) and 26 RC holes (3,003m) have just been completed with results from a vast majority of the program awaited due to lengthy laboratory backlogs.
-
At the Tick Hill Project, 11 RC holes (1,001m) and 1 diamond hole (566m) were completed late last week at Tick Hill North Wall and Tick Hill North targets respectively with all results yet to be received.
The Company’s Managing Director, Rob Watkins commented:
“We continue to be encouraged by the geological indicators at both Strelley and Tick Hill. The first pass drill programs are now complete as we await a vast majority of the drill results to come in. The delay in receiving assays due to the backlog at the laboratories will now result in further drilling programs commencing early in the new year once all results from the initial drilling program have been received.

STRELLEY PROJECT (Carnaby 100%)
First pass aircore and RC drilling programs have just been completed at Strelley with results pending for a vast majority of the drilling (Figure 1). At total of 372 aircore holes for 11,167m have been completed on a nominal 640 m x 80 m spacing. The aircore drilling was designed to scope out the regional geochemical and geological footprint, targeting the prospective corridor along the confluence of the Berghaus and Tabba Tabba Shear Zones and the Gibraltar / Stockade mafic hosted sheared corridor (Figure 1).
The average depth of holes across the program was 30 m with transported cover averaging approximately 15m. At this extremely wide hole spacing and shallow depth of hole, the aircore drilling program is designed to target secondary gold anomalism and define broad geochemical tends for future follow up infill drilling.

Palisade Target
First drill results received from the aircore drilling at Palisade has defined a ~1 km long by up to 300 m wide gold in silcrete anomaly located at the interface between the transported cover and underlying bedrock (Figure 2 & 3). Aircore drilling over the central Palisade area was completed on a 320 m x 40 m spacing and further afield at 320 m x 80 m spacing.
The aircore drill results of up to 0.4 g/t gold hosted in silcrete represent a secondary dispersion gold anomaly from a yet to be identified primary source. The source of the silcrete hosted gold anomaly is likely to be from locally derived underlying gold mineralisation in the bedrock which is yet to be intersected in the aircore drilling.
Encouraging alteration of intense silica-chlorite-sericite+-disseminated pyrite coincident with extensive shearing of a large intrusion in contact with sedimentary and mafic schists is an encouraging geological target setting (Figure 3). On a regional scale the Palisade anomaly is favourably located at the confluence of the Berghaus and Tabba Tabba Shears Zones both of which are considered to be fertile structures.
Firs pass RC drilling of Palisade has been completed with results pending. Full details of the RC drilling will be provided once assay results have been received.

TICK HILL PROJECT (Carnaby 100%)
Drilling has just been completed at Tick Hill targeting the Tick Hill North and Tick Hill North Pit Wall targets (Figure 4). Samples are being prepared and sent to a laboratory for analysis.
At Tick Hill North a single diamond hole was drilled to 566 m targeting approximately 150 m beneath the lodestone horizon intersected in the last exploration hole drilled at Tick Hill at the end of 2019. The new drill hole CBD028, intersected the mine corridor sequence approximately 40 m north of the planned target pierce point. The hole intersected both hangingwall and footwall quartzites separated by altered lodestone equivalent quartz-biotite granofels. The core has been logged and is in process of being cut, sampled, and submitted for analysis.
At Tick Hill North Pit Wall target a total of 11 RC holes for 1,001 m were drilled to test the very high-grade extension of the main lode into the lower north wall of the historical 70 m deep open pit. All holes drilled were completed to plan depth intersecting variable thickness of lodestone and laminite ore host horizons.
Full details of the Tick Hill drilling will be provided once assay results are received.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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. • 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. |
• Strelley Aircore samples were collected using a cyclone with a 1-2kg scoop sub-sample taken from either individual metre intervals or over composite intervals of 2-10m. • Strelley RC samples were collected via an adjustable cone splitter mounted below the cyclone. A 2-3kg sample was collected from each 1m interval. Samples from aircore and RC were pulverised to obtain a 25g charge for aqua regia digest and ICP-MS analysis of Gold at trace level. The end of hole sample of every air core hole at Strelley was analysed for full-suite multi- elements using aqua regia digest and a ICP-MS finish at trace level in addition to gold. • Recent Tick Hill RC samples were collected via an adjustable cone splitter mounted below the cyclone. A 2-3kg sample was collected from each 1m interval. Samples were pulverised to obtain a 25g charge for aqua regia digest and ICP-MS analysis of Gold at ore grade level. • NQ sized half or quarter cut core samples from the diamond hole at Tick Hill are being analysed for trace level Gold using a 25g aqua regia digest and ICP-MS finish and trace level Copper, Cobalt and Silver using the same digest with an ICP-MS finish. |

| • 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. • 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. |
• The southern half of the project containing the Tabba Tabba Shear strikes approximately NNE and is considered to be well tested with EW drill and soil sample lines. In the northern half of the project where the Tabba Tabba Shear bends to a NE orientation coincident with a NE fault, the orientation of the historical soil sampling and drill traverses is considered to be at a non optimal orientation. • New drill lines at Strelley have been orientated perpendicular to the interpreted strike of the major shear zones to reduce any potential samplingbias of the zones beingreported. |
| Sample security | • The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
• Drill samples for Strelley were dispatched by Carnaby staff directly to the transport company depot in Port Hedland for transport to ALS labs in Perth. • Drill samples from Tick Hill were taken directly to the Mt Isa ALS samplepreparation facilitybyCarnabyStaff. |

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section).
| Criteria | Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| 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 security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaininga licence to operate in the area. |
• ELA45/5614 is an exploration licence application owned 100% by Carnaby Resources Ltd. • E45/4638 is a granted exploration license which is being transferred from Lithium Power WA Holdings Pty Ltd (LPWA) to Carnaby Resources Ltd as part of an agreement whereby LPWA’s parent, Lithium Power International Ltd retains certain mineral rights relating to Lithium minerals. Carnaby own 100% of the gold rights on the tenement. Heritage survey and plan of works have been completed on the tenement. |
| Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by otherparties. |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
• Shaw River Manganese Limited completed the original gold exploration on the tenement delineating several gold anomalies in soils and drilling. |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• The Strelley project is located in the northern part of the Archean Pilbara Craton. The tenement is located within the Mallina basin group greenstone and intrusives on the district scale Tabba Tabba Shear zone which hosts significant gold mineralisation to the SW within De Greys Mining Ltd’s tenure. The recent discovery of the intrusion related Hemi gold discovery by De Grey Mining Ltd has generated significant new interest in the Mallina Basin. Within the Strelley project late intrusive rocks equivalent in age to the Hemi gold discovery are present. Gold mineralisation intersected in the Strelley project to date is associated with silicification andquartz veining. |
| 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: • eastingand northingof the drill hole collar |
• Included in report. Refer to the report and Table 1. |

| • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar • dip and azimuth of the hole • down hole length and interception depth • 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. |
||
| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. • 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. |
• Significant intercepts above 0.02 g/t Au with no more than 2 m internal dilution have been reported • Higher grade intercepts have been separately reported where applicable. • Metal equivalents have not been used. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. • 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 (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
• All drill intercepts have been reported as downhole lengths and not enough information is present to know the true widths of these intersections. |
| 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 the body of the announcement. |
| 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 exploration results should be considered indicative of mineralisation styles in the region. |
| 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 contaminatingsubstances. |
• As discussed in the announcement |
| 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). • Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main |
• Planned exploration works are in the process of being prepared. |
