ASX Announcement
WOOMERA SIGNS HEADS OF AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE 80% INTEREST IN THE MT VENN GOLD PROJECT
Highlights
-
Woomera Mining Limited signs Heads of Agreement providing the framework to purchase an 80% interest in Cazaly Resources Limited’s Mt Venn gold tenements located in the north eastern goldfields of Western Australia.
-
The transaction will have Woomera;
-
acquire 100% of the shares in Yamarna West Pty Ltd (‘Yamarna’), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cazaly, which holds the tenements.
-
Yamarna will then transfer to Cazaly a 20% undivided interest in the Tenements, and
-
Cazaly will enter into an agreement with Yamarna to establish an unincorporated joint venture under which the JV parties will hold the following interests:
Yamarna 80% Cazaly 20%
-
The two tenements E 38/3111 and E 38/3150 cover 50km of strike of the Mt Venn Greenstone Belt providing Woomera with the dominant land position (>90%) in the belt.
-
Numerous gold anomalies identified from soil and rock chip sampling and RAB, aircore and RC drilling including very high grade rock chip samples at Chapman’s Reward and Lang’s Find that assayed >200 g/t Au, Mount Cumming (rock chips including 8.4 g/t Au, 3.2% Cu and 3.9 g/t Ag) and adjacent geochemical anomalies none of which have been drilled, the Three Bears Prospect where aircore drilling has outlined gold including 12m @ 1.19 g/t Au and numerous other gold in soil anomalies that have not been drilled. Details of the locations of the samples are included in the body of this announcement.
-
Airborne electromagnetic surveys have identified numerous late time conductors within the Mount Cumming and Mount Cornell ultramafic complexes. The conductors are interpreted as being potential sulphide sources in the basal contact zones of the mafic/ultramafic intrusions.
-
Mount Venn greenstone belt is associated with the Yamarna Shear and is close to Gold Road Resources (ASX:GOR) Gruyere gold deposit (5.88 Mozs. gold) located in the neighbouring Dorothy Hills Greenstone Belt.
Woomera Mining Limited (ASX: WML) (‘Woomera’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Heads of Agreement with Cazaly Resources Limited (ASX:CAZ) (‘Cazaly) to purchase an 80% interest in Cazaly’s Mt Venn gold and nickel project located 125 kms northeast of the township of Laverton in the north eastern goldfields of Western Australia.

Figure 1. Location of the Mt Venn Project
Woomera’s Managing Director Gerard Anderson said: “ It is rare to secure such a large land position in an area rapidly being realised as a world class gold district. The geological setting of Mt Venn is analogous to the nearby almost 6 million ounce Gruyere gold deposit. Whilst there has been very little systematic gold and base metal exploration at Mount Venn the work completed to date indicates excellent gold potential including for very high grade gold. The added bonus is the potential for nickel-copper-cobalt mineralisation as indicated from airborne electromagnetic surveys that identified numerous conductors. The Mt Venn Project is a particularly exciting opportunity for the Company”.
The Heads of Agreement provides the framework for a detailed Share Acquisition Agreement and Joint Venture Agreement, which the parties are obliged to use their reasonable endeavours to negotiate and execute on or before 20 August 2019. Importantly, the Heads of Agreement specifies key terms which have been agreed and must be incorporated into the final agreements.
The Mt Venn project consists of two granted exploration licences E 38/3111 and E 38/3150. In addition to the granted exploration licences, the ground covered by four expired Prospecting Licences over the historic Chapman’s Reward mine (P38/4149, 4150, 4151 and 4195) is pending amalgamation into E 38/3111. The tenements which cover approximately 390km[2] occur over some 50 kms of strike of the Mt Venn Greenstone Belt giving Woomera the dominant land position (>90%) over the Belt.
Cazaly gained access to the Project in January 2017 with the grant of Exploration Licence 38/3111 following the recommendation from the Department of Aboriginal Affairs to grant access permits to the licence which lies within the Cosmo Newberry Aboriginal reserve which is also subject to a Native Title claim by the Yilka people. Cazaly signed a Native Title Agreement with the Yilka People and the Cosmo Newberry Aboriginal Corporation (CNAC) on 28th July 2016.
The tenements are highly prospective for gold, nickel and nickel-copper-cobalt deposits. Volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits may also be a possibility based on anomalous zinc, copper, lead, gold and silver in felsic volcanics.

The Mt Venn tenements are located close to Gold Road Limited’s Gruyere Gold Deposit (5.88M Ozs Au) ( Gold Road Resources ASX:GOR Annual General Meeting Presentation 25 May 2018 ) and to Great Boulder Resource’s Cu-Ni-Co Mt Venn Deposit (Figure 2).

Chapman’s Reward - The first discovery of gold was officially reported in 1923 by the State Prospecting Party’s (‘SPP’) discovery of several existing pits, at Chapman’s Reward (currently excised but amalgamation has been applied for), following numerous high-grade quartz veins, in schist or gneiss, with widths of up to 5m and specks of fine gold. Selected sampling from pit walls and dump material by the SPP were encouraging with assays up to 201g/t Au (Results of SPP sampling shown below in Table 1 – Source: The WA Department of Mines 1923 Annual Report.)

Mount Cumming - Between 1995 to 1997, Elmina NL undertook rock chip sampling with three samples (out of a total of 106) assaying >0.5g/t Au. All of these samples were associated with quartz veins in outcrop areas at Jutson Rocks (20.5g/t and 15.8g/t) and Mount Cumming (8.4g/t Au, 3.2% Cu and 3g/t Ag). (WAMEX Report A064708).

Table 5. Rock chip sampling results at Mount Cumming
In 1996, a regional soil sampling (1000m by 250m grid) was completed by Elmina NL which identified two large anomalous areas (Lang’s Find and Mount Cumming) and several small anomalies. Infill soil sampling the following year (500m by 100m grid) identified four main anomalous clusters, located at Lang’s Find, south-west of Mount Cumming, west of Rutter’s Soak and east of Mount Scott. Most of the gold assays occurred in the 3 to 20ppb range, with the highest value of 720ppb being located 250m east of the above rock chip sample of 8.4g/t Au at Mount Cumming (WAMEX Report A064708).
None of the adjacent geochemical soil anomalies to Mount Cumming have been drilled.
Three Bears Prospect – Cazaly Resources Limited conducted two drilling programmes, in January and July 2017. The results confirm the presence of a large, wide gold mineralised system over 3km long. (Reference CAZ ASX releases 27 Feb 2017, 8 June 2017).

Nickel and Cu-Ni-Co Potential
Both ground and airborne electromagnetic surveys were completed in the northern tenement area including over the Mount Cumming and Mount Cornell ultramafic complexes. Numerous late time conductors were identified and interpreted as being potential sulphide sources in the basal contact zones of the mafic/ultramafic
6
intrusions (Figure 5). Note these positions are similar to the structural and stratigraphic setting of major nickelcopper massive sulphide deposits elsewhere in Western Australia.
RC drilling of a number of conductor targets did not intersect sulphides however, several conductors were not drill tested due to a lack of funds. A summary of the opportunities includes:
-
Mt Cumming – 3 of 5 modelled Priority 1 Conductors not drilled to date
-
Mt Warren – 200m long Conductor not drilled
-
Mt Cornell – EM trend of 750m

Another potential nickel target includes nickel in soil anomalies which yielded >700 ppm Ni and > 420 ppm Cu interpreted in komatiites and gabbros.
Base Metal Potential
The Rutters Zinc Prospect lies in felsic volcanics on the margins of the Wartu granite. Drilling intersected widespread and thick low grade zinc including 39m @ 0.23% Zn, 40 @ 0.12% Zn and 13m @ 0.25% Zn.
Whilst the zinc anomalism is low grade, it is possible its extensive development coupled with elevated gold, silver, arsenic, copper and lead occurring in felsic volcanics is indicative of potential volcanogenic massive sulphide mineralisation at depth. This is supported by the presence of pervasive pyrite alteration and coincident EM and IP anomalies.
Key Terms of the Heads of Agreement
Cazaly Resources Limited is an ASX listed public company. Yamarna West Pty. Ltd., is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cazaly. Yamarna is the owner of exploration licences E38/3111 and E38/3150 issued under the Western Australian Mining Act 1978. Yamarna is also the applicant for the amalgamation into E38/3111 of the land formerly the subject of expired prospecting licences P38/4149, P38/4150, P38/4151 and P38/4195.
Under the Heads of Agreement, the parties have agreed a framework for a detailed Share Acquisition Agreement and Joint Venture Agreement, which the parties are obliged to use their reasonable endeavours to negotiate
7
and execute on or before 20 August 2019. The Heads of Agreement specifies the key terms outlined below which have been agreed by the parties and must be incorporated into the final agreements.
It is agreed that Woomera will acquire 100% of the shares in Yamarna subject to the terms of the Heads of Agreement.
Prior to the Completion Date, expected on or before 20[th] August 2019, Yamarna will transfer to Cazaly a 20% undivided interest in the Tenements and contemporaneously with Completion, Cazaly will enter into an agreement with Yamarna which establishes an unincorporated joint venture under which the JV parties will hold the following interests:
Yamarna 80% Cazaly 20%
The consideration comprises:
-
(a) a cash payment of AUD$900,000 comprising a deposit of $20,000 and a balance of $880,000 payable at Completion;
-
(b) a deferred cash payment of AUD$100,000 upon the ground covered by the Expired Prospecting Licences being amalgamated into E38/3111; and
-
(c) the issue of seven million (7,000,000) fully paid ordinary shares in Woomera at Completion (to be subject to a voluntary escrow of 12 months from the date of issue of the shares).
Key aspects of the Joint Venture are:
-
Stage 1 Exploration - Woomera to sole fund a total amount of $1,200,000 in exploration on the Tenements during the first 3 years of the Joint Venture.
-
Further Exploration - Woomera will free carry Cazaly to the completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study.
Woomera to ensure that exploration expenditure shall be sufficient to keep the Tenements in good standing.
Upon Woomera completing a Pre-Feasibility Study, Cazaly can elect to:
-
(a) contribute to ongoing JV expenditure in accordance with its 20% JV interest and otherwise dilute in accordance with the provisions of the intended unincorporated joint venture agreement, if such expenditure commitment is not met; or
-
(b) convert its JV interest to an ongoing net smelter royalty (NSR) of 2.0%.
WML will be appointed the Manager of the JV and will remain Manager whilst it has a majority interest.
The Share Acquisition Agreement is to be subject to customary conditions for a share acquisition and the good standing of the tenements, and will also be subject to Woomera successfully undertaking a fund raising of $3m by 20 August 2019 in order to fund the acquisition of 100% of the shares in Yamarna and to provide capital for exploration of the Tenements and working capital. Woomera may at its discretion still proceed with the acquisition if the fund raising is less than $3m.
WML is considering the nature of the fund raising in the best interests of shareholders during the negotiation and execution of the Share Acquisition Agreement and Joint Venture Agreement. The fund raising may include:
- (a) An equity capital raising combining a placement to sophisticated and professional investors in conjunction with an offer to participate through an entitlement offer (or share purchase plan) to all shareholders, at a price determined in consultation with the sophisticated and professional investors. To the extent a placement is made in reliance of WML’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A, the placement will be in accordance with the minimum price required by the ASX Listing Rules;
8
(b) A convertible note issuance; (c) A debt raising; or (d) A hybrid of any of (a), (b) and (c).
Financial Year 2020 Exploration Plan
The acquisition of the Mt Venn assets will not materially alter the Company’s commitment to continue plans to explore the Company’s other key exploration projects. In addition to drilling at Mt Venn, the plan for FY2020 is for drilling to be undertaken at the Alcurra-Tieyon Project in the Musgraves, drilling in the Gawler Carton at Labyrinth and potentially at Nawa and drilling on the Company’s Pilgangoora Lithium Project. The Company plans to also undertake soil sampling at Mt Cattlin following the calendar year 2019 harvest.

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
•24 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes for 3,147m, 116 air core (AC) drill holes for 4,995m and 138 rotary air blast (RAB) drill holes for 2,546m were completed by Yamarna West Pty Ltd (YAM) to variable depths. •All sampling was conducted using Cazaly Resources Ltd (CAZ) protocols including industry best practice QAQC procedures including duplicates and standards. •RC samples were collected in 1 metre intervals from a rig mounted cyclone with attached cone splitter. The dry samples were split into a bulk sample (green bag) and a representative 3kg split (calico). All 1 metre samples were lined up in rows of 20 beside the hole. Damp or wet samples were collected in green bags and spear/scoop sampled. •Composite samples were collected from each 1metre bulk green bag using a sample spear to ensure a representative sample was combined from 2-4 metre intervals, depending on the geologist’s instructions. In some intervals, only 1 metre cone split representative samples were collected for analysis. •RAB and AC samples were collected off a rig mounted cyclone in buckets and placed on the ground beside the hole in 10 sample rows. Composite samples consisting of representative scoop samples were collected from the sample piles in 1-4 metre intervals, depending on the geologist’s instructions. •3kg composite samples were sent to Bureau Veritas in Perth, sorted, crushed and pulverized to -75μm, split to produce a 40g charge for either Fire assay (RC) or Aqua Regia digest (RAB, AC) analysis for gold. Samples were also analysed for Al, Fe, Mn, V, Ag, As, Ba, Bi, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Sc, Te, Tl, W and Zn by ICP and OES or MS finish. •21 Grab rock chip samples from surface outcropswere completed byYAM |

| Verification of sampling and assaying |
• The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. • The use of twinned holes. • Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. • Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
•All YAM data has been checked internally by senior CAZ staff •CAZ is yet to collect 1m splits within significant composite sample intercepts for assay. Duplicate composite samples show repeatable values with acceptable tolerances within significant intercepts where available •Field data is collected using Field Marshal software on Toughbook computer. The data is validated using Micromine software in the office. •No adjustment to assay data has been made |
| Location of data points |
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. • Specification of the grid system used. • Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
•All YAM location points were collected using handheld GPS in MGA 94 – Zone 51 |

•YAM RC drill holes were drilled at varying spacing from 40m to 100m depending on the target and geology. AC and RAB drilling were drilled at 100m x 150m and 100m x 50m depending upon the targeting and the geology. This AC/RAB spacing was utilized for first pass testing of targets. Further RC drilling is considered necessary before being of sufficient density for Mineral Resource estimation •Four metre composite samples have been collected for YAM RC drilling via spearing. Four metre composite samples have been collected for RAB/AC drilling using ametalscoop |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
•YAM RC drilling at -60 degrees towards the west (270) has appeared to confirm the interpreted east dipping stratigraphy minimizing lithological bias. RC drilling is considered sufficient to confirm primary mineralized structure orientation dipping to the east. AC/RAB drilling is not sufficient to confidently predict orientation of structural mineralisation •No sampling bias is identified in the YAM RC drilldata |

•All drilling in this report is located within granted E38/3111, which is held 100% by CAZ through wholly owned subsidiary company Yamarna West Pty Ltd (YAM). YAM signed an Access Agreement for exploration with The Yilka Native Title Claimant group and the Cosmo Newberry Community. These groups have Native Title over the area through a registered claim and Cosmo Newberry Aboriginal Reserve. •The tenement is in good standing with no known impediments |
| Exploration done by other parties |

| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
•No top cuts have been applied when reporting results •First assay from the interval is reported (Au1) •Aggregate sample assays are calculated using a length weighted average •Significant RC assay results have been reported based on >0.10g/t Au, 0.02% Cu, 0.02% Zn and 1g/t Ag. •Significant AC/RAB assay results have been reported based on >0.10g/t Au, 0.02% Cu, 0.02% Zn and 1g/t Ag •A representative "gram metre" value has been calculated and presented in parts of the report using industry standard calculations based on "g/t gold x metre interval" aggregate over an anomalous intercept length. This intercept is based on plus 0.10g/t Au, 0.02% Cu, 0.02% Zn and 1g/t Ag values and contains no more than one interval of waste. This representation of grade is considered appropriate for the style of mineralisation. •Nometalequivalentvalues arereported |
| Relationship between mineralisatio n widths and intercept lengths |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. • If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. • If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not _known’). _ |
•Mineralisation intersected in YAM RC drilling appears oblique to the orientation of the drill holes. Reported mineralization down hole is considered to be closely representative of true widths. However, more information is required to confirm true width of mineralization. •Orientation of mineralisation intersected in YAM RAB/AC drilling is not known and therefore true widths of mineralization is not known |
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and _appropriate sectional views. _ |
•Refer to Maps, Figures and Diagrams in the document |
| Balanced reporting |
• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading _reporting of Exploration Results. _ |
•All YAM drill hole locations are reported and a table of significant intercepts is provided in previous ASX announcements by parent company Cazaly Resources Ltd (ASX: CAZ) |
| Other substantive exploration data |
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; |
