Activities Report for the Quarter Ended 30 September 2021

HIGHLIGHTS

Yarawindah Brook Project

  • Large-scale mafic-ultramafic intrusive complex recognised at Yarabrook Hill Prospect – much larger than previously thought:

  • Previous drilling tested only a small part of intrusive

  • Prospective basal contact yet to be tested by any drilling

  • Favourable geological context for strong Northwest and Eastern PGE anomalies – now identified as basal contact positions

  • Approximately 3,000m of current RC drill program completed so far – multiple zones of sulphide mineralisation intersected – further assays awaited

  • RC drilling expected to recommence in late October – with exciting new targets added to the program:

  • Northwest and Eastern soil anomalies

  • XC-22 Airborne EM anomaly

  • Surface PGE-Ni-Cu anomalous geochemical footprint now extended over 3km of strike

Corporate

  • Strong cash position of $13.7m at end of quarter

Caspin Resources Limited (ASX: CPN) (“Caspin” or the “Company”) is pleased to report on corporate and exploration activities during the September 2021 Quarter.

Corporate

$9.75m Capital Raising

Following the successful $9.75m placement in July, the Company remains in a strong financial position with cash reserves at the end of the quarter of $13.7m, allowing the Company to aggressively continue its exploration programs at Yarawindah Brook and Mount Squires. The Placement was strongly supported by Caspin’s existing major shareholders including Chalice Mining Ltd (“Chalice”) and Tinci Materials who subscribed for ~$0.9m and ~$1.97m respectively. Chalice maintained their shareholding of ~9.2% post-Placement, with Tinci increasing their shareholding from 5.6% to 7.5%.

Yarawindah Brook Project

New Geological Interpretation Provides Greater Confidence for Targeting

The results of a gravity gradiometer survey flown in June continue to be interrogated and when combined with observations from recent drilling, have provided a significant advance in the understanding of the geology of the Yarabrook Hill intrusion. This improved understanding has important, positive implications for the exploration potential of the intrusion and further targeting.

Figure 1. Interpreted geology of Yarabrook Hill with previous drilling and RC holes from current RC campaign. Note the absence of drill holes testing the Northwest and Eastern soil geochemical anomalies.

The Company now recognises a much larger extent of intrusion than previously thought, with three broad rock units which are consistent with fractionation patterns found in magmatic systems. The rock units appear to be folded along the axis of a major thrust zone (Figures 1 and 2) which in the area around Yarabrook Hill, has thrust the more ultramafic, basal sequence of the intrusion to the surface. This thrust zone was previously described as the “Footwall Shear Zone” but is now recognised as the “Radio Tower Thrust” which is recognised in both magnetics and gravity data sets. The basal sections of mineralised magmatic systems are generally more prospective and the observations at Yarabrook Hill to date are consistent with this conceptual model.

The gravity gradiometry survey has shown that the Yarabrook Hill intrusion is much larger than initially thought and is comparable in size to the Gonneville and Hartog intrusions and gravity anomalies that host Chalice Mining’s Julimar discovery (Figure 3).

Figure 2. Conceptual geological section of Yarabrook Hill based on interpretation of geophysical datasets and recent RC drilling.

Only a small fraction of the entire intrusion has been drilled by Caspin or its predecessors. Most of the previous drilling has focussed only on where mineralisation comes to surface, but there remains a large portion of the prospective basal sequence that is either obscured by overlying sequences or unrecognised and remains to be tested.

A potential example may be the Eastern and Northwest PGE-Ni-Cu soil geochemical anomalies, which are strong, coherent anomalies and are now recognised to occur within the footprint on the intrusion. The new geological model suggests the Eastern Anomaly is coincident with the potential surface expression of the basal contact along the Hanging Wall Thrust. The Northwest Anomaly occurs in an embayment in the intrusion and is potentially also a near-surface expression of the basal contact (Figure 4).

Both geochemical anomalies were unable to be tested during the latest round of drilling due to ground conditions but should be accessible when drilling resumes and are a high priority target.

The Company will also be testing in the upcoming drill program the XC-22 Airborne Electromagnetic (AEM) anomaly, which is coincident with a magnetic high and gravity low (Figure 5). This combination of anomalies is most likely to represent serpentinised ultramafic rocks which are commonly associated with PGE mineralisation (e.g. the Gonneville Intrusion at the Julimar Project). Importantly, the size of the gravity low anomaly suggests this area may be the most significant area of ultramafic within the Yarabrook Hill intrusion.

RC Drilling Program Status

Eleven RC holes have been completed to date for approximately 3,000m. Drilling has been suspended due to very wet ground conditions reducing access to some areas of the project area and is expected to resume in late October (subject to ground conditions improving and rig availability). The upcoming diamond program, part funded by the WA Government Exploration Incentive Scheme, is now also expected to commence towards the end of October.

Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, Caspin has received assays for three of the eleven drillholes: YARC0001 – YARC0003. These drill holes were originally designed to test what was originally interpreted to be the prospective eastern margin of the intrusion, testing the same prospective horizon as YAD0017 and YAD0018. Subsequent gravity survey results showed that the intrusion extended further to the east and these drill holes would be testing the ultramafic part of the intrusion.

Both YARC0001 and YARC0002 intersected the interpreted internal stratigraphy of the Yarabrook Hill intrusion with the drill holes starting in a peridotite unit and then drilling through into a more pyroxenitic gabbro and finishing in a more plagioclase rich, low-Cr gabbro.

Both YARC0001 and YARC0002 intersected the interpreted internal stratigraphy of the Yarabrook Hill intrusion with the drill holes starting in a peridotite unit and then drilling through into a more pyroxenitic gabbro and finishing in a more plagioclase rich, low-Cr gabbro.

Both drill holes intersected broad anomalous Ni-Cu-PGE zones hosted in peridotites and pyroxenites, including YARC0001 intersecting 263m at 0.24g/t 3E (Pd+Pt+Au), 0.11% Ni & 0.13% Cu and YARC0002 intersecting 180m @ 0.11g/t 3E, 0.1% Ni and 0.10% Cu, providing a sense for the scale of the system within the Yarabrook Hill intrusion. YARC0001 returned a peak result of 2m @ 1.27g/t Pd, 0.25g/t Pt, 0.61g/t Au, 0.33% Ni and 1.04% Cu from 46m.

YARC0003 intersected roughly 240m of a dolerite dyke with the drill hole finishing in a gabbro. The drillhole is interpreted to have drilled sub-parallel to the dolerite dyke (which explains the thickness of the dyke intersected). The dyke is barren and hence no significant anomalism was intersected.

Interpretation of the results is continuing.

Mount Squires Project

The Mount Squires Project lies within the West Musgrave region of Western Australia and is 100% owned by Caspin. The Company previously reported results of recent soil geochemistry sampling in June 2021. The Company is working towards further field programs including extending the soil geochemistry coverage and reconnaissance drilling.

The Duchess Prospect - A Potential Porphyry Copper Style System

675 close-spaced soil geochemical samples were collected over the Handpump structural corridor utilising an ultra-fine fraction assay technique which is well suited to sandy soil conditions.

The survey has identified a zoned molybdenum (Mo) – lead (Pb) – copper (Cu) – gold (Au) anomaly covering an area of at least 2km[2] , approximately 4km southeast of the Handpump Prospect, referred to as the Duchess Prospect (Figure 7). The zonation of the anomaly is characteristic of deeply-weathered Porphyry Copper systems in which Cu, Au and Pb are usually strongly leached, whilst more immobile elements such as Mo remain in-situ, proximal to mineralisation in the core of the system.

Additional zonation effects are observed in tin (Sn), thallium (Tl), bismuth (Bi) and selenium (Se), which are all common elements found in halos around intrusive porphyry systems (Figure 8).

In this geological model the Handpump Prospect could represent a distal, gold-only part of the larger system.

The Duchess Prospect has not been drill tested with almost all the previous drilling focussed at the Handpump Prospect.

IP Chargeability Anomaly adjacent to Handpump Prospect

Induced polarisation (IP) is a geophysical technique that measures chargeability and resistivity and is the primary geophysical technique used in exploration for Porphyry Copper deposits. The IP method is particularly well-suited for targeting disseminated-sulphide mineralisation, which characterises Porphyry Copper orebodies.

==> picture [298 x 72] intentionally omitted <==

Page 9

CASPIN RESOURCES LIMITED

Quarterly Activities Report – Period Ended 30 September 2021

==> picture [125 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

An IP survey was completed across the Handpump Prospect by previous explorers in 2010, consisting of a gradient array grid to map shallow IP/resistivity, and a single line of Dipole-Dipole IP to add some depth constraints to the anomalies seen in the gradient array data. The Company has re-processed the Dipole-Dipole data and generated a new inversion model, extending below the 200m depth limit of the historical model.

The new model confirms a zone of shallow chargeability, coincident with the historical gradient array anomaly, closely associated with the known gold mineralisation at the Handpump Prospect. Very significantly, however, a second feature has emerged from this reprocessing that appears to represent a deeper chargeability anomaly below the depth of investigation of the gradient array survey. This deeper anomaly is a consistent feature in all recent inversion model iterations. This deeper anomaly could potentially represent sulphide mineralisation and has not been drill tested.

Detailed magnetic data for the Handpump area provides further support for this deeper IP anomaly. The anomaly occurs on the margin of a well-developed circular magnetic feature, closely associated with the Handpump Prospect (see Figures 9 and 10). The Company considers that this magnetic feature might represent a magmatic intrusion associated with the Handpump mineralised system.

Next Steps – Au-Cu Exploration

The Company has identified several fronts on which to advance the Mount Squires Project:

  • Undertake a new IP survey over the Duchess Prospect to identify potential sulphide mineralisation that may represent a blind Porphyry Copper style deposit.

  • Simultaneously conduct a reconnaissance-style drilling program across the Duchess Prospect to test Au and Cu mineralisation beneath the weathering zone. A suitable drill rig is currently being sourced.

  • Drill test the Handpump IP anomaly. This would be a separate program from the reconnaissance drill program requiring a rig with greater depth capabilities.

  • Extend the soil geochemistry program further to the southeast along the Handpump structural corridor.

Ni-Cu Exploration Potential

The Company is also evaluating the Ni-Cu sulphide potential on the eastern-side of the Mount Squires Project area. The Company’s tenure covers the strike-extension of >40km long, ENE-trending West Musgrave mineralised corridor. The known mineralised extent of this corridor, extends from the Suez prospect in the east to the One Tree Hill prospect outside the immediate eastern lease boundary of the Company’s Mt Squires project. This West Musgrave corridor hosts major ore-deposits at Babel, Nebo and Succoth (owned by OZ Minerals), together with a number of other prospects. The One Tree Hill prospect, located only 200m outside the Company’s tenement boundary, has previously returned drill intercepts of 40m @ 1.2% Cu & 22m @ 1.8 % Cu. Mafic intrusive rocks of the same age as those that host Babel-Nebo are known to occur within the projected strike-extension of this mineralised corridor into the Mt Squires project area. Therefore, an aerial electromagnetic survey, over an area of approximately 100km[2] , is being planned to cover this corridor and projected strike-extension.

There was $6,490 in exploration expenditure at Mount Squires incurred during the quarter.
