Corporate

~$9.75m Capital Raising

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company completed a ~$9.75m placement at $1.00 per share to existing and new strategic, institutional and sophisticated investors. 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 will maintain their shareholding of ~9.2% postPlacement, with Tinci increasing their shareholding from 5.6% to 7.5%.

The capital raising will enable the Company to continue its accelerated exploration program at its flagship Yarawindah Brook Project. The Company has also recently identified new targets at the Mount Squires Project which it is working towards testing in the second half of 2021.

Yarawindah Brook Project

Confirmation of Basement PGE Mineralisation at Yarabrook Hill

During the Quarter, the Company completed two diamond drill holes (YAD0017 & YAD0018) at Yarabrook Hill for a total of 601.6m. Both holes encountered significant widths of sulphides.

As expected from visual observations, both drill holes returned broad zones of anomalous PGE (Platinum Group Elements, primarily palladium and platinum) mineralisation with narrow intercepts of significant palladium, platinum, nickel and copper mineralisation.

Better results were returned from drill hole YAD0017 and include:

  • 4.4m @ 0.78g/t PGE (0.52g/t Pd, 0.26g/t Pt), 0.43% Ni & 1.00% Cu from only 66.2m,

  • including 0.65m @ 1.93g/t PGE (1.11g/t Pd, 0.82g/t Pt), 1.46% Ni and 1.60% Cu from 67.75m

  • 0.2m @ 4.17/g/t PGE (0.95g/t Pd, 3.22g/t Pt), 3.49% Ni & 1.43% Cu from 155.97m

  • 9.2m @ 0.74g/t PGE (0.35g/t Pd, 0.39g/t Pt), 0.19% Ni & 0.24% Cu from 300.85m

  • including 0.7m @ 4.10g/t PGE (0.77g/t Pd, 3.33g/t Pt), 0.56% Ni & 2.01% Cu from 308.50m

A similar tenor of mineralisation was returned from YAD0018, such as 0.28m @ 1.13g/t PGE (0.95g/t Pd, 0.18g/t Pt), 0.27% Ni & 1.29% Cu from 95.22m. Mineralisation in the upper portion of the drill hole appears to have been stoped by a late-stage dolerite dyke.

Significant intervals of nickel, copper, cobalt and gold were also returned in both holes associated with PGE mineralisation. A full list of assay results can be found in Table 1.

These assays have confirmed the extremely high background PGE content of the Yarabrook Hill intrusion, with the entire interval from 0-311m in YAD0017 averaging >150 ppb PGE.

The intensity of mineralisation was observed to generally increase downhole in YAD0017 and was most intense close to the lower contact of the upper, ultramafic section of the intrusion with underlying barren gabbroic rocks at about 310-320m down hole. This defines a prospective stratigraphic horizon that represents a priority target to focus follow-up exploration. Importantly this lower mineralised horizon has not been tested by previous drilling.

These drill holes at Yarabrook Hill were designed only on recognised sulphide zones intersected in previous drilling that importantly did not have assays for PGE’s. As more holes are drilled, the Company anticipates being able to vector towards the PGE-rich zones.

Follow-up Drill Program at Yarabrook Hill Underway

Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, the Company commenced a follow-up drilling campaign at Yarabrook Hill, comprising approximately 5,000m of RC, in a staged approach with potential for extensions. The program will include large step-outs between YAD0017 and YAD0018, over approximately 1.25km of strike, as well as targeting the up-dip position closer to surface, where the dip of the intrusion is interpreted to flatten. This is potentially a favourable mineralising position in these types of PGE systems, for example as seen in the Flatreef Deposit within the Platreef Mine owned by Ivanhoe Mines Ltd subsidiary Ivanplats in South Africa.

XC-29 Prospect

Results from the three holes completed at XC-29 (YAD0014 – YAD0016) returned anomalous levels of PGE’s, nickel and copper, hosted in primarily sedimentary rocks with minor mafic and ultramafic lithologies. The Company will further assess the data, particularly to understand the stratigraphic position of the sulphide mineralisation, which may provide a vector to mafic-ultramafic hosted Cu-Ni-PGE mineralisation. Anomalous levels of PGE’s are indicative of proximity to a source of orthomagmatic PGE-Ni-Cu mineralisation, providing encouragement for follow up exploration.

Soil Geochemistry Highlights Significance of Yarabrook Hill System

First pass sampling was completed on a 400m x 100m grid and infilled to 200m x 100m in prospective areas including Yarabrook Hill.

Sampling to date at Yarabrook Hill has defined a surface palladium anomaly (>6ppb) over at least 3km and beyond the extent of the historical drilling (Figure 6). Peak values over Yarabrook Hill reach up to 331ppb (or 0.3 g/t). The palladium anomaly is supported by both nickel (>150ppm), copper (>300ppm) and platinum (>6ppb) anomalism, which would be expected overlying PGE-nickel-copper basement mineralisation. The tenor of the soil anomalies is comparable to those overlying Chalice Mining’s Gonneville discovery, approximately 40km to the south of the Yarawindah Brook Project.

The recent sampling has extended the soil anomalism to the northwest of the recently completed drilling at Yarabrook Hill, with a large coherent PGE-Ni-Cu anomaly extending over a 500m x 500m area. This is potentially a new, previously unrecognised intrusive position which has never been drill tested. Further soil anomalism has also been delineated to the north which also requires further investigation.

The soil survey has also recognised a second PGE-nickel-copper anomaly in a parallel position 500m to the east of Yarabrook Hill, striking over 1.2km. With very limited drilling in this area and no bedrock exposure, the source of the anomaly is unknown, but may represent an upthrown faulted extension of the main intrusion or a separate, unrecognised intrusion.

New PGE Anomalies Require Further Investigation

Results from the soil geochemistry program to date have identified several new PGE anomalies in the regional project area that require further investigation (Figures 7-10). Anomaly A, approximately 5km north of Yarabrook Hill has two coherent “lobes” each 600 to 800m long with a peak palladium value of 11ppb and remain open to the north and east. Anomaly A has peak nickel and copper values of 47ppm and 129ppm, respectively.

Anomaly B, approximately 6km north-east of Yarabrook Hill is a multi- “lobe” anomaly with the main lobes 700 to 800m long with an additional lobe 200m further south with a peak palladium value of 8ppb. Anomaly B is supported by nickel (peak of 122ppb) and copper (peak of 117ppb). Anomaly B remains open to the north beyond the extent of sampling. Infill soil sampling on 200m x 100m spacings is planned to refine several of these new PGE anomalies.

A small palladium anomaly is also noted at the Yenart Prospect coinciding with a circular magnetic feature that requires further investigation.

None of the project area outside Yarabrook Hill has undergone exploration for PGE-Ni-Cu mineralisation, so this is an exciting development that may lead to a suite of new prospects being identified for drill testing. Approximately 65% of the project remains untested to date, with further soil sampling to be conducted as the Company progresses access agreements across the project area.

Airborne Gravity Gradiometer Survey

The Company has undertaken an aerial gravity gradiometer survey across the entire Yarawindah Brook Project to assist mapping the location and geometry of mafic and ultramafic intrusions. This survey measures small variations in the earth’s gravity field. This data, when combined with magnetic, electro-magnetic and soil geochemistry data, provides a powerful tool to rank and prioritise new targets for drill testing.

Results of the survey are expected during the September Quarter.

The Company spent $621,217 on the exploration activities at Yarawindah during the quarter.

Mount Squires Project

The Mount Squires Project lies within the West Musgrave region of Western Australia and is 100% owned by Caspin.

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 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 11). 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.

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

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 12).

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 12

CASPIN RESOURCES LIMITED

Quarterly Activities Report – Period Ended 30 June 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 13 and 14). 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.

ABOUT CASPIN

Caspin Resources Limited (ASX Code: CPN ) is a new mineral exploration company based in Perth, Western Australia. Caspin’s strategy is to explore and progress its mineral projects, and where appropriate, generate, earn into, or acquire new projects with the aim of creating value for Caspin shareholders.

At the Yarawindah Brook Project, Caspin will be exploring Australia’s newest Ni-Cu-PGE frontier, advancing exploration on multiple fronts using soil geochemistry and Airborne EM in search of new Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide deposits. Caspin will then select the most prospective targets with drilling programs.

At the Mount Squires Project, Caspin has identified a 50km structural corridor with significant gold mineralisation. The Company will conduct further soil sampling and reconnaissance drilling to identify new targets along strike from the Handpump Prospect. Caspin will concurrently continue to evaluate the potential for Ni-Cu mineralisation along strike from the One Tree Hill Prospect and Nebo-Babel Deposits.
