SHREE MINERALS LTD

Fieldwork Commences at the Bruce Gold Project, NT

  • Exploration fieldwork has commenced at the Bruce Gold Project

  • Previous rock chip sampling returned grades of up to 53g/t Au[1]

  • Gossanous quartz veins extend over 2km along strike

Shree Minerals Ltd (“Shree” or “SHH” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that exploration fieldwork has commenced at the Bruce Gold Project in the Northern Territory (Figure 1).

Planned work comprises reconnaissance geological mapping of gossanous quartz veins, rock chip sampling and an orientation soil sampling program. The fieldwork and sampling program has been designed to determine the extent of the gossanous quartz veins and to validate assay results reported previously.

Rock chip sampling of the gossanous quartz veins at the project by the Northern Territory Geological Survey (NTGS) returned grades of up to 53g/t Au[2] . Rock chip sampling by Roebuck Resources in 1996 also produced very anomalous assays[3] .

The veins are hosted by a mixed rock sequence including mica schist, calc-silicate and amphibolite that form part of the Irindinia Gniess. The veins are related to an east-west striking and south dipping shear zone. Prospecting along the veins by Olympia Resources in 2005 located intermittent exposures of the gossanous quartz veins over a 2km strike length. The veins have a brecciated texture containing clasts of mica schists, sulphidic sediment and massive sulphides. Typical outcrop of the quartz gossan veins is shown in Figure 2-3.

Between the outcropping quartz veins there are areas of shallow transported sand cover that masks and obscures the bedrock. If this shallow cover provides a geochemical response, soil geochemistry may identify anomalies in areas where gossanous quartz veins are buried by the transported sand.

From aerial imagery, Shree has identified several regional areas, throughout the Exploration Licence, containing outcropping quartz veins. Field reconnaissance and sampling will determine if these regional veins have the same gossanous characteristics seen at Bruce’s Prospect.

Next Steps.

Following this program of reconnaissance geological mapping and sampling, a more detailed soil sampling program, over identified quartz gossans, is required to prioritise targets in readiness for drilling. Gossans exhibiting robust gold and pathfinder geochemistry relative to background will be targeted for drilling.

Background

In June 2020, Shree announced it had entered into a farm-in and joint venture agreement (“Arunta Joint Venture”) with Territory Lithium Pty Ltd (“TLPL”) to explore TLPL’s tenements for gold and base-metals.

The projects of the Arunta Joint Venture are the Box Hole, Edwards Creek and Bruce Gold Projects located in the Northern Territory. The tenements subject to these are EL 31225, EL32419 and EL32420 covering an area of ~380 square kilometres of ground in the highly prospective Arunta Region and 100% owned by TLPL (Figure 1). Significant projects in the area include the Jervois Copper-Silver Project (26.6Mt at 1.47% Cu, 24.7g/t Ag)[4] and the Johnnies Reward Gold-Copper Project.

The Bruce Gold Project covers an area of 127 km sq and is located 94 kilometers east of Harts Range. It can be accessed via the Plenty Highway north of Alice Springs.

The principal terms of the Arunta Joint Venture include:

  • SHH can earn a 50% equity interest in the Joint Venture through the total expenditure of $50,000.

  • Once SHH has earned a 50% equity interest, further Joint Venture expenditure contributions will be pro-rata, or else a non-contributing party’s equity will be diluted using the standard industry dilution formula.

  • If SHH were doing sole expenditure, its share of equity in the Joint Venture would increase to 90% by it making a total expenditure of $450,000.

  • Should a party’s equity in the Joint Venture fall to 10%, its share will be automatically acquired by the other party in exchange for a 1% NSR Royalty.

  • SHH will manage the Joint Venture during the earn-in stage, and while ever it holds majority equity.

EL31225 (Bruce Gold Project) is a current Exploration Licence. EL32419 (Box Hole Lead-zinc Project) and EL32420 (Edwards Creek Copper Project) are Exploration Licence Applications. Shree is compiling previous exploration data on the Edwards Creek and Box Hole Projects and will commence exploration once the licences are granted and all access approvals are in place.
