-
Identified old gold workings spatially coincident with soil geochemistry anomalies at Golden Chimney East. This coincidence verifies that soil anomalies and may be extended by infill auger work.
-
Infill auger soil sampling and rock chip sampling completed to refine the location and continuity of eight existing gold anomalies and highlight priority target areas for drill testing.
-
Historical soil sampling surveys have confirmed and upgraded the exciting, 2 km long, Golden Chimney West auger gold anomaly. Infill auger sampling is expected to confirm the Golden Chimney West gold anomaly is a significant gold mineralised system.
-
Another five separate areas of anomalous geochemistry have been targeted by infill auger traverses.
Shree Minerals Ltd (“Shree” or the “Company”) is very pleased to advise that it has now completed a reconnaissance mapping, sampling and infill auger soil sampling at its Golden Chimney project, exploration licence E40/378. Infill auger samples were collected on a 100m x 50m grid. Previous auger sampling by Shree, completed on a 200m x 100m grid, generated eight widespread, coherent near-surface gold and multielement anomalies located over mafic and felsic volcanic rocks.
Fieldwork has enhanced the geochemical anomalies at both Golden Chimney West and Golden Chimney East. Altered felsic volcanic rocks at Golden Chimney West may be the source of the Au and multi-element anomaly that stretches over 2 kms in length. Old gold workings were found at the Golden Chimney East gold and arsenic anomaly.
Shree Executive Director Sanjay Loyalka said “The gold anomalies identified have a scale and continuity that may indicate the presence of significant gold mineralisation. We are excited to progress towards drilling at Golden Chimney Project as well as progress re-permitting of Nelson bay River Iron Project DSO operations which will facilitate a recommencement decision to take advantage of very strong Iron Ore Markets. Our gold and iron ore assets now represent two sectors that have been very strong in Australia”

GOLDEN CHIMNEY PROJECT
Shree’s recently completed infill auger exploration program consisted of 240 shallow, vertical auger holes drilled on a 100m x 50m spaced grid and completed using a 4WD mounted auger drill rig. The preferred sample horizon was either a carbonate rich layer (tested by hydrochloric acid) or, where absent, a soil colour change representing a redox soil horizon. At the end of each hole a sieved (-240 µ) sample was collected for analysis by a multi element assay method. Elements analysed included Au, As, Cu, Pb, Zn, Bi, Mo, Sn, Li, Rb, Ti, Ni and Co. Strong Au anomalism in several auger holes with grades up to 74.5 ppb Au is supported by multi – element (Cu, As, Bi, Zn) geochemistry
Results from the infill auger geochemistry will refine known anomalies, allowing the company to review their priority and provide a better understanding of the geological controls on gold mineralisation.
Figure 1 illustrates the location of the completed in-fill auger traverses. Appendix 1 lists the infill auger sample coordinates, depth where the sample was taken in each hole, the sample colour and the hydrochloric acid reaction.
Discussion of recent activity by Shree.
Figure 1 illustrates the geochemical contours derived from the initial auger sampling, completed in June 2019. Coherent near-surface gold anomalism is located over mostly mafic and felsic rocks as interpreted from aeromagnetics and geological mapping. Eight prospect areas have been defined but only the Golden Chimney prospect has been drilled by previous workers.

Golden Chimney West and Golden Chimney East Prospects.
Multi-element anomalies have been outlined throughout the tenement, as illustrated in Figure 1. At the Golden Chimney, Golden Chimney West and Golden Chimney East prospects, illustrated in Figure 1 and 2, the anomalies are supported by aeromagnetic anomalies suggesting lithological or structural controls on the geochemistry. Both the Golden Chimney and Golden Chimney West anomalies may be related to the same aeromagnetic anomaly. At Golden Chimney West anomalous geochemistry extends to the east around the fold closure into a north easterly orientation, (Figure 2). Anomalous geochemistry then extends for a further 750m on the east limb of the fold closure.
At the Golden Chimney West Prospect (see Figure 3), the main north westerly orientated 10 ppb Au contour is 900m long and is coincident with anomalous multi element geochemistry including As, Cu and Bi. Historical rock chip assays up to 15 ppm Au have been recorded at Golden Chimney West.
A historical soil survey was completed at the Golden Chimney Prospect in 1993 on a local but unregistered grid. This grid can now be tied into the Mapping Grid of Australia, following the discovery of old in-situ grid pegs during fieldwork by Shree. The historical survey shows a robust and continuous gold anomaly that is open to the south east, illustrated in Figure 3.

Fieldwork by Shree located outcropping altered, NW-SE striking felsic volcanic rocks. Alteration consisted of excess silica, chlorite, epidote and opaques. This rock occurs within Shree’s geochemical contours and may represent the source of the anomalous geochemistry. Rock chip sampling of the volcanic unit was undertaken.
A new coincident Au and As geochemical auger anomaly has been identified at the Golden Chimney East Prospect. Figure 2 illustrates the location of the prospect. Very anomalous Au and As geochemistry of 28.5 ppb and 12.2 ppm respectively was recorded. The anomaly remains open to the west, east and north, where the initial auger sampling was not conducted (see Figure 4). Fieldwork by Shree located previously unknown old prospecting gold workings. Several rock chip samples were collected from the old mullock dumps. These dumps were made up of goethitic and calcareous felsic volcanics, containing thin quartz veinlets. The recently completed infill auger will further define the extent of this exciting anomaly.
Appendix 2 lists all rock chip samples collected and sample coordinates and lithologies.

Next Steps
Target Generation Phase. The gold anomalies identified by the auger sampling have a scale and continuity that may indicate the presence of significant gold mineralisation. Some gold anomalies are reinforced by multi-element signatures which may confirm the presence of gold mineralisation. Also, new, previously untested areas, including Golden Chimney East, have exciting multi element anomalies that will be refined and possibly upgraded by the completed extensional auger sampling.
The Golden Chimney West Prospect is a significant, 2 km long, gold and multi-element geochemical anomaly that is untested by drilling. The auger anomaly has been confirmed and reinforced by historical soil sampling. In-fill sampling on a 100m x 50m spaced grid will upgrade the anomaly to ‘drill ready’ status. Assay results from the in-fill auger sampling are expected in two – three weeks.
Drilling of the defined targets phase. The target generation phase will be followed by the drilling phase of higher priority targets which will begin with RC drilling of up to 200 m deep holes.
