Managing Director, Andrew Beckwith, said:

“We are very encouraged by our first four drill holes at Rattler, we have confirmed high grade polymetallic mineralisation in three of those holes along the north-south trending Rattler Shear Zone and it remains open in all directions.

We have demonstrated extensive zones of “Carlin style” mineralisation in the hanging wall units above the Rattler Shear Zone. This demonstrates extensive volumes of mineralised fluids have moved through the adjacent prospective rocks.

The Tiger anomalies remain completely untested and run parallel to the Rattler Shear Zone providing added scope to define potentially open pittable oxide resources with further drilling.”

RC Drilling defines High Grade Ag-Au-Pb-Zn at the Rattler Prospect

The recent RC drilling programme of four holes has successfully defined high grade polymetallic Ag-AuPb-Zn mineralisation hosted in the Rattler Shear Zone (RSZ), in three of the holes, beneath a zone of highly anomalous soil sampling results coincident with a number of historic underground mine workings at the Rattler Prospect.

==> picture [495 x 277] intentionally omitted <==

The prospective RSZ only partially outcrops along the eastern side of the steep and heavily scree covered portion of the Red Hills main ridge line. Previous detailed channel sampling across the RSZ, adjacent to one of the historic shafts, defined strong polymetallic mineralisation 7.8m+ @ 0.52g/t Au, 105g/t Ag, 2.6% Zn, 2.8% Pb (361g/t AgEq) including 3.5m+ @ 1.1g/t Au, 205g/t Ag, 5.2% Zn, 5.9% Pb (736g/t AgEq). This encouraging “polymetallic” mineralisation at surface is hosted within a 7.8m wide, steeply west dipping silicified shear zone with the higher grade mineralisation associated with an iron rich gossanous zone. Inspection of the lower horizontal adit, which was historically used to extract the underground ore, suggests mining occurred over a vertical distance of at least 50m and at least two zones were targeted by the previous miners. The recent drilling also passed through a mining void approximately 20m deeper.

The high priority RSZ zone is also defined at surface by strong multi-element soil geochemistry with peak values of 145ppb Au, 76.5g/t Ag, 9990ppm Pb, 1990ppm Zn, elevated Fe and other indicator elements occurring within a trend approximately 100m wide and 400m long which occurs within a much broader multi-commodity soil and rock chip anomaly, approximately 500m x 700m incorporating the Rattler and Tiger prospect areas.

Figure 2 and Table 1 shows the high grade Ag-Au-Pb-Zn intersected in drill hole 15RHR03 approximately 200m south of the outcropping high grade channel sampling together with the high grade silver results in soil sampling over this zone. These highly anomalous soil results clearly demonstrate strong mineralisation subcrops at surface beneath the surficial scree and mineralisation is now defined to approximately 100m depth.

The RSZ Ag-Au-Pb-Zn mineralisation remains open to surface, at depth and along strike to the south and north . Extensional and infill drilling is anticipated to define higher grade plunging shoots within the RSZ particularly where north-west trending structures are evident in mapping: ie north of hole 15RHR01 under and to the north of the old workings and near hole 15RHR03.

Discussion

Originally, the drilling programme comprised of two diamond drill holes designed to test for high grade “polymetallic” bedrock mineralisation hosted within the RSZ, approximately 200m apart and at 100m vertical depth.

The diamond drilling commenced as planned, however due to challenging near surface ground conditions which resulted in very poor recoveries, the decision was made to change to RC (Reverse Circulation) drilling method. The programme was successfully completed with four RC holes (total advance of 823m) immediately south of the known Rattler mine workings and along strike approximately 200m south of the workings testing the higher priority portions of the soil anomaly. (Fig 1)

Importantly, the limited drilling programme of only four holes, has been successful in defining three significant mineralised horizons including:

  1. High grade mineralisation within the steep west dipping RSZ;

  2. Rattler Splay in the hanging wall to the RSZ; and

  3. Extensive zones of “Carlin Style” lower grade mineralisation within the Upper Quartzite and Limestone Breccia in the hanging wall of the RSZ.

The RSZ and Rattler Splay mineralisation is hosted by early steep west dipping structures that have allowed subsequent and substantial volumes of fluids to permeate the rocks where overprinted by later

north-west trending structures. The north-west trending structures are considered the main fluid conduit that has allowed the mineralising fluids to rise from the interpreted deeper granite source. The deeper “source granites” are interpreted from geophysical modelling of magnetic and gravity data with other indicator elements suggestive of a granitic source.

The steep west dipping RSZ forms the contact zone between shallow west dipping Pogonip Formation limestones and sediments (to the east) and the hanging wall Eureka Quartzite and Limestone Breccia (to the west). Geological logging indicates the Rattler Shear Zone generally comprises a broad zone, approximately 30m downhole, with silicified and oxidized argillic altered sediments, most likely containing portions and or repetitions of the Eureka Quartzite. This zone also contains variable ferruginous to limonite rich clay material, silicified sediments and occasional fine grained oxidized disseminated sulphide development. Mapping of the outcropping shear zone suggests potential for internal folds with a north plunge component, suggesting potential north plunging shoots can be expected. A north plunging aspect would suggest the area under the historic workings and to the north require further drill testing as does the area immediately south of drill hole 15RHR03. Both these areas would correlate to areas where northwest trending structures are evident in mapping and increased anomalous results and historical mining within the Tiger prospect area.

The mineralisation defined to date show similarities in many geological and geochemical aspects to other Carlin style orebodies. In particular, the nearby Taylor Silver Mine, located 25km south-east of the town of Ely and 70km south-west of Red Hills, shows very similar features including strong north-south and northwest structural controls and host lithologies. The Taylor Silver Mine, previously operated during the periods 1875-1892, 1964-1968, 1981-1984 and produced 3.6M ounces of silver. The current processing plant, a decantation cyanide leach facility, rated at a throughput of ~500,000 tonnes per year was completed in 1981 and was subsequently upgraded in 1991 to include a Cu-Pb-Zn floatation circuit to handle third party ore. Production ceased in 1994 and the facility remains on care and maintenance.

Sampling of the RC drilling comprised collecting systematic 1 metre samples from the rig into a 25% sample and a 75% reject bag, these 75% reject 1 metre samples were then speared over a nominal combined four (4) metre composite over the entire hole length, which were then submitted to the laboratory. This sampling provides a broad definition of anomalous zones but is not sufficiently representative for JORC reporting. On receipt of the 4 metre composite sample results, individual 1 metre 25% split samples were reanalysed over the anomalous zones to provide detailed JORC compliant assays suitable for public reporting and are suitable for future resource estimation.

Hole location details and significant results are listed in Tables 2 and 3.

Future Activities

The new drilling results are encouraging and warrant further follow-up drilling both along strike and up and down dip. Carnavale is now reviewing current Bureau of Land Management (BLM) drilling approvals to determine if any drilling can be successfully completed from the currently approved two drilling pads, however it is anticipated further drilling pads and short access tracks will need additional approval by the BLM. Additional BLM approvals are likely to take 1-2 months which coincides with the winter snow period.

Proposed drill programmes will focus on holes that will extend the higher grade Rattler Shear Zone mineralisation and also initial holes targeting the Tiger targets on the west side of the ridge that currently remain untested.

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 sounds, 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 (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.

All RC samples have been collected on site at the
rig into a 25% sample and a retained 75% reject
bag. Initial 4m composite samples have been
collected by spearing the 75% reject bag every
1m and compositing 4 metres into one sample.
Individual 1m sample bags were retained and
then submitted for assay once the anomalous
zones were defined from the 4m composite
sample results.

All analytical results have been completed at an
industry acceptable commercial laboratory. All
samples are dried, crushed with 1kg split from the
crushed sample. This 1kg is then pulverized,
analysed for gold using a 30gram charge by fire
assay and ICP-AES finish plus 33 multi-element
suite by four acid digest and ICP-AES finish.

Additional analyses for high grade silver and
associated gold are by Fire Assay Fusion, fire
assay and gravimetric finish.

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
obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

The property is under a joint venture agreement
whereby Carnavale has the right to earn an
initial 51% via $2M expenditure within a total of
3 years and may elect to earn an additional 24%
(total 75%) via additional $7M expenditure in a
further 4 years. Vendors retain combined 4% net
smelter royalty on production, with Carnavale
having the right to purchase up to 2% NSR for
$1M per 1%

The sample results occur within unpatented
claims in Nevada, USA

The area is managed by the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM), a government body. Future
drilling and any mining will require approval from
the BLM and other regulatorybodies
Exploration
done by other
parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.

Carnavale and joint venture partner Cordex
Exploration (and related party Columbus Gold)
has completed and reported prior surface soil,
rock chip sampling and geophysical surveys.

10 historical open hole drill holes have been
discovered in the project area, however no
record of this work has been discovered to date.
Geology

Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The deposit style is currently unknown, however
mineralization targeted is Carlin style (Au-Ag)
and shear zone hosted Au-Ag and base metals.
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:

easting and northing of the drill hole collar

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.

The details and location of the drill holes is listed
in the report .
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (eg 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

All assay data listed in this report are uncut

Criteria
JORC Code explanation
Commentary
_equivalent values should be clearly stated. _
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 (eg ‘down hole length, true width
_not known’). _

All sample lengths are down hole lengths.
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. _

Results provided in table in report and various
diagrams.
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 report provides geological context to the
sampling.
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. _

Previous geological mapping of the nearby
workings has been undertaken.

Geophysical data including ground magnetics
and gravity data have been modelled to aid
exploration 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).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.

Additional drilling is planned to target extensions
to the Rattler Shear Zone and Tiger targets and
will be subject to approvals by the Bureau of
Land Management.
