FIRST AIRCORE DRILL RESULTS DEFINE

Market Cap (@ 41 cents) $48.3M Cash $8.6M[1 ]

1As of 30 October 2020

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.

Company Highlights

  • Proven and highly credentialed management team

  • Tight capital structure and strong cash position

  • Commenced exploration at the Mallina Basin in the Pilbara of WA

  • Projects near to De Grey’s Hemi gold discovery on 394 km[2] of highly prospective tenure

  • 100% ownership of the Tick Hill Gold Project (granted ML’s) in Qld, historically one of Australia highest grade and most profitable gold mines

  • Past production of 511 koz at 22 g/t gold

  • Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource of 845,000 t @ 2.47 g/t gold for 67,100 ounces[2]

  • Proven and Probable Ore Reserves of 459,900 t @ 1.89 g/t gold for 28,000 ounces[2]

  • 323 km[2] surrounding exploration package containing numerous gold and copper targets

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.
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).
• Aircore drilling total 372 holes for 11,167m drilled by Bostech
drilling.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.

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.

For the diamond drilling both drilled and recovered
metres were recorded for each drill run.

RC samples were dry and with high recoveries. The
cone splitter was set to achieve an approximate 2-3 kg
of sub sample for every metre drilled.

* Aircore samples were recovered dry and with
consistent high sample recovery observed in the field.
Logging • Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
• Logging was completed by geologists and is at a level sufficient
to generate maps, plans and sections found in company reports.
• All core and chips from the recent programme were logged with
Maxgeo Logchief software.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative
in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)
photography.
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
• Tick Hill core and RC chips were photographed.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
• 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 sample preparation
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 beingsampled.
• NQ drill core was half cut with core from the non-marked side of
the orientation line taken for analysis. The majority of intervals of
half cut core were 1m. Where the core interval exceeded 1.6m,
the core was quarter cut. The majority of quarter cut intervals
were 2m in length.
• For RC samples, all individual samples were collected using a cone
splitter mounted beneath the cyclone to collect a 2-3kg sample.
RC composite samples >1m were sampled using a 50mm
spear/tube from inside the bulk green bag sample. The sample
collect was dry.
• The sample size collected is considered 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.
• 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.
• Nature of quality control procedures adopted
(e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and
precision have been established.

RC drill samples from the Tick Hill Pit were analysed at
ALS using a 25g aqua regia digest and an ICP-MS finish
for ore grade level gold level. A blank sample was
inserted at the start of each hole and 2 different
Carnaby selected standards were used, alternating at
every 25th sample. Diamond core at Tick Hill was
analysed at ALS using a 25g aqua regia digest and an
ICM-MS finish for trace level gold, silver, copper and
cobalt.

Air core and RC samples from Strelley were analysed
at ALS in Perth using a 25g aqua regia digest and an
ICP-MS finish for trace level gold. Carnaby selected
standards of various levels were inserted at
approximately every 50th sample.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
• The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
• Discuss anyadjustment to assaydata.
• At the prospect scale the quality of the Strelley data is currently
considered acceptable for exploration purposes. Further
investigation and validation will be undertaken as work programs
progress.
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.
• Specification of the grid system used.
• Qualityand adequacyof topographic control.
• Grid systems used for Strelley was MGA94/50.
• Grid Systems used for Tick Hill was MGA94/54.
Data spacing and
distribution
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
• 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 estimation
procedure(s)and classifications applied.
• Reconnaissance aircore and RAB drilling was completed at 640m
x 80m spacing, closed up to 320m x 40 m at Palisade.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
• 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.
Audits or reviews • The results of any audits or reviews of
samplingtechniques and data.
• No external audits or reviews have been undertaken of the recent
samplingtechniques and data.

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.

Criteria Explanation Commentary
• 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.
