SHREE MINERALS LTD

GOLD PROJECT ACQUIRED IN THE EAST LACHLAN FOLD BELT, NSW

  • New Exploration Licence Application lodged over historical gold workings in the East Lachlan Fold Belt near Cooma, NSW.

  • Previous RC drilling and ground geophysics at the highly prospective Rock Lodge prospect indicates potential below and along strike of the historic gold workings.

  • Previous drill results include up to 5.36 g/t Au, 55.6 g/t Ag, 0.12% Bi, 0.8% Cu and 1.46% Zn.

  • Rock chip sampling of outcropping quartz veins returned gold values up to 11.1g/t Au.

  • Reported rock chip sampling 100m west of previous drilling identified a parallel gossan with up to 2.52g/t Au, 10.2g/t Ag and a coincident IP anomaly that remains undrilled.

  • The polymetallic sulphide rich mineralisation has possible affinity with Intrusion Related Gold Systems (IRGS).

Shree Minerals Ltd (“Shree” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has lodged a new Exploration Licence Application (ELA 6147) over the historic Rock Lodge gold workings near Cooma in NSW (Figure 1). The Rock Lodge Project covers an area of 75 km² and is located 35km south of Cooma. It is prospective for orogenic, Intrusion Related Gold Systems (IRGS) and skarn related gold mineralisation. It extends Shree’s presence in the Lachlan Fold Belt beyond its Turondale Project which was acquired a few months earlier (ASX announcement of 31/7/2020).

The Rock Lodge prospect exhibits high-grade gold mineralisation associated with structurally controlled epigenetic massive sulphide veins. The grades intercepted during historical drilling show the area to be highly mineralised and the mineral assemblages are synonymous with other major mineral deposits within the Canberra to Cooma region of the Lachlan Fold Belt.

Mr. Sanjay Loyalka, Executive Director of Shree Minerals said " The new tenement application over the Rock Lodge Project in the Lachlan Fold Belt is a very exciting opportunity for Shree Minerals and reaffirms Shree's strategy of building a high-quality portfolio of exploration projects in prospective terranes in Australia. The Rock Lodge prospect has proven prospectivity with significant drill intersections of gold mineralisation reported previously that remain open along strike and at depth "

SHREE MINERALS LIMITED | ACN 130 618 683 www.shreeminerals.com

The East Lachlan Fold Belt has a long history of mineral production including gold (80 Mozs), copper (13 Mt), lead, zinc, silver and tin. It contains several large operating copper and gold mines including Evolution Mining’s Lake Cowal Gold Mine, Newcrest Mining Ltd’s giant Cadia Mine. Also located within the East Lachlan Fold Belt is Alkane Resources’ 2019 Boda discovery (502 metres at 0.2% copper and 0.48 g/t gold from 211 metres).

==> picture [452 x 549] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1. Regional location of Shree’s tenements within the East Lachlan Fold Belt.

Within the East Lachlan region, a chemical rock sequence has been intruded by various magmas, that create a highly prospective environment for mineralisation. These deposits display a range of different gold mineralisation styles, including orogenic, porphyry, skarn and volcanogenic massive sulphide. While there are similar mineralisation types across northern Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the East Lachlan region is different in age and chemistry, making it globally unique and very prospective.

The Rock Lodge Project (ELA6147) covers a folded sequence of Ordovician aged Adaminaby Group shales/siltstones and Gungoandra Siltstones (Figure 2). At the Rock Lodge prospect there is a steeply dipping sequence of predominantly siltstone with sandstone interbeds to the west and strongly carbonaceous shales to the east, Figure 3. The siltstones and shales have been locally silicified and disseminated pyrite is common throughout the rocks.

Previous Exploration at Rock Lodge

The Rock Lodge prospect has been explored by only two companies in the last fifty years. Their exploration programs progressed to RC and diamond drilling but significant intersections were not followed up. In addition, consideration was not given to the regional geology away from the old workings and several target areas generated from geochemical and geophysical surveys at Rock Lodge were also not followed up.

==> picture [487 x 282] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2. Regional geology and mineral occurrences within the application area.

Rock chip sampling of outcropping quartz veins at Rock Lodge by Southern Gold NL returned assay results of up to 11.1g/t Au[6] . Follow up diamond drilling (SGDH01 to SGDH011) in 1985 targeted the historic workings. The holes intersected up to 8m of massive sulphide with recorded grades up to 4.28g/t Au, 35g/t Ag, 0.79% Cu and 13.5% Zinc ¹. Diamond hole SGDH08 intersected 12m @ 1.2 g/t Au, 9.8 g/t Ag and 0.2% Cu . The location of these holes is illustrated in Figure 3.

‐ ‐ ‐ The mineralisation is associated with massive and disseminated pyrite arsenopyrite chalcopyrite sphalerite sulphides and quartz, within host phyllites and sandstone of the Adaminaby group. This is exposed on the surface as a distinct gossan and ironstone. Sulphide mineralisation is associated with silica alteration and minor quartz veining, indicating that a significant volume of mineralising fluid has passed through the rock.

Six RC holes (MYRC001 to MYRC006) were also drilled underneath old workings at Rock Lodge by Alt Resources in 2018. This drilling is illustrated in Figure 3. Their drilling also intercepted massive sulphides in four holes². Significant drilling intercepts by Alt Resources included:

  • MYRC001, 3m @ 2.1 g/t Au, 3.7 g/t Ag and 174 g/t Bi from 17m and

  • 2m @ 2.7 g/t Au, 11.8 g/t Ag, 300 g/t Bi and 0.48% Cu from 62m.

  • MYRC003, 1m @ 5.4 g/t Au, 55.6 g/t Ag, 212 g/t Bi and 0.11% Zn.

MYRC005, 2m @ 1.6 g/t Au, 9.5 g/t Ag, 903 g/t Bi from 19m and

1m @ 1.4 g/t Au, 375 g/t Ag, 163 g/t Bi, 1.6% Pb from 23m and 1m @ 4.8 g/t Au, 0.48% Pb, 1.46% Zn from 57m.

Cross sections of the drilling by Alt Resources and Southern Gold NL is illustrated in Figures 4 and 5.

==> picture [453 x 316] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3. Historical exploration summary diagram showing the main geological features of the Rock Lodge prospect. Past drill hole locations, anomalous rock chip sampling and IP chargeability anomalies are also illustrated.

Geophysical surveys (IP and EM) by Alt Resources in 2016-2017, outlined deeper and parallel targets that were not tested by the drilling program. The IP data, as illustrated in Figure 3, defined both the eastern zone of gossan and sulphide mineralisation as a chargeability anomaly, along with a second (western) zone of similar extent and width to the eastern zone. Follow up field investigation of this zone identified a zone of outcropping, but narrow boxwork gossans and ironstones, to the west of cross section C – C’ (Figure 3).

A number of rock chips were taken from the length of this western zone with assays up to 2.52 g/t Au, 10.2 g/t Ag[6] , as well as anomalous arsenic, bismuth and copper. These results stand out from anomalous background levels of 0.2 g/t Au for the remaining rock chip samples. This western gossan zone remains undrilled³ and represents an outstanding drill ready target. There are numerous other rock chip samples with anomalous gold assays recorded throughout the prospect³, as illustrated in Figure 3.

The historical workings at nearby Bobundara (Figure 2) have a recorded production of 575g Au (18.5oz) with an average grade of 21 g/t Au (Herzberger and Barnes, 1978⁴). Mining occurred during two periods from 1928-30 and 1948-49. The mineralisation occurs as disseminated sulphide minerals in a narrow, discontinuous quartz-chlorite lode parallel to the host slates’ cleavage. The workings consist of 3 or 4 shafts, an adit and shallow pits.

IRGS Models.

The polymetallic sulphide rich mineralisation at Rock Lodge has possible affinity with the Intrusion Related Gold System (IRGS) group of deposits, indicated by anomalous Au, Ag, Bi, Cu, Pb, Zn. Trace element enrichment may include Sn, W, Mo, As, Te, Sb ± (Pb, Cu). Alt Resources noted the elevated bismuth (<0.12%) in drill holes MYRC001-6 as evidence for an affinity with the IRGS group. A NSW Government radiometric survey in 2003 also raised the possibility of intrusive rocks to the southwest of the project area.

IRGS deposits are commonly within a large hydrothermal system with potential for large tonnage, low grade (1 – 2 g/t) gold mineralisation in disseminated systems or higher grades in vein systems.

Page | 6

Deposit sizes range from 700K ozs at Timbara to 140 tonnes Au at Kidston in North Queensland. Production is typically for gold only. Metallurgical credits can include Ag, Cu and Zn, (e.g. Red Dome). Many mines overseas typically contain greater than 3 Moz. High-grade examples include Pogo (9.98 Mt at 17.8 g/t Au; quoted in Lang et al., 2000⁵).

Preferred economic targets include greisens, veins, breccias and skarns associated with high level felsic volcanics and granites. Plutons are usually only just being unroofed or still shallowly buried.

Next Steps.

Shree Minerals plans to conduct a systematic and detailed exploration program. Initial work will include a compilation of all previous exploration, including geological, geochemical and geophysical data sets available. Field work will include geological mapping and rock chip sampling with an initial focus on the historic workings. The Rock Lodge prospect is in hilly country with good drainage that is suitable for regional stream sediment sampling. Geochemical anomalies generated by the stream sediment sampling will be followed up with soil sampling.

IRGS deposits are commonly associated with aeromagnetic signatures, either as magnetic lows or highs depending on the type of alteration of the intrusive rocks. Consideration will be given to conducting detailed (100m flight lines) aerial magnetic surveys. Induced polarisation (IP) surveys will also be considered to generate targets for drilling following the success of surveys conducted by previous exploration companies.

The application for another tenement in the Lachlan Fold Belt is in line with Shree’s strategy to acquire ground in highly prospective mineral fields. Shree will continue to acquire additional tenements as opportunities arise.
