Celsius continues to review potential acquisitions and investments in commodities which complement or diversify the Company's current commodity exposure
Celsius Resources Limited ( Celsius or the Company ) (ASX: CLA) is pleased to announce it has entered into a Binding Heads of Agreement ( Agreement ) with Syndicate Minerals Pty Ltd ( Syndicate Minerals ) to acquire the Cullarin West prospect (ELA5928 or the Tenement) located in the highly sought-after Lachlan Fold Belt region of NSW, Australia.
Celsius has acquired 100% of the right, title and interest in the Tenement for total consideration of 20 million shares in the capital of Celsius.
The Cullarin West prospect is located adjacent to and along strike of Sky Metals’ (ASX:SKY) Cullarin discovery (93 m at 4.24 g/t gold from 56 m, refer ASX.SKY Announcement 10 February 2020) (See Figure 1 for Location Map). An initial review, including a site visit, indicates the project is underlain by similar geological and structural features which host mineralisation at Cullarin. Only limited historical exploration has been undertaken in the tenement area due to widespread recent cover obscuring bedrock geology.

A historical diamond drillhole at Cullarin West (DDH W-1 drilled in 1978) showed elevated levels of silver and base metals in “drill sludges”. Sludge samples were not analysed for gold due to the focus being on base metals. Drill core was not cut or sampled and is stored at the NSW core library in Londonderry.
Celsius intends to access this core and resample it as a high priority, ahead of a significant programme of low detection limit geochemical sampling designed to define further drilling targets under widespread Quaternary cover in the areas of interest.
The Cullarin West project also includes the historical Gooda Creek and Daltons Goldfields:
-
Gooda Creek: A high grade, small scale gold mine that averaged 6 oz/t (180 g/t) pre-1900 (government records). Limited shallow drilling at Gooda Creek in the 1987 returned 1.95 m at 23.1 g/t gold and 1.0% copper .
-
The Daltons Goldfield: Hosts multiple gold occurrences that have seen small scale, high grade production recorded (+10g/t Au) with little modern exploration conducted. A limited drill programme conducted in 2012 returned a best result of 1 m @ 27.1 g/t gold .
Celsius recently completed a site visit as part of its due diligence and looks forward to engaging with local landholders and stakeholders prior to commencing on ground activities following tenement grant.

Commenting on the acquisition, Celsius’ Non-Executive Director & Chairman Bill Oliver said:
“With limited historical exploration and located in a highly sought-after region along strike from a noted gold discovery, Cullarin West provides an exciting opportunity for Celsius at a low cost entry price. We are eager to get on the ground as soon as practical once the tenement is granted and will update investors on activities as they progress. In parallel we continue to assess other opportunities to diversify Celsius’ mineral exploration portfolio and look forward to updating shareholders should these progress into transactions.”
Regional Setting
Geologically, the tenement is situated near to and along the eastern margin of the Siluro-Ordovician Molong Belt; part of the Macquarie Arc of the Lachlan Fold Belt (Figure 3). Historically major copper-gold deposits in the Lachlan Fold Belt such as Cadia-Ridgeway, Northparkes and Cowal have been thought to be restricted to Ordovician volcanics, where porphyry deposits formed within a 1,000km long intraoceanic island arc.
With the discovery of the McPhillamys Deposit (2.3 Moz Au) the prospectivity of the Silurian volcanics to host gold-rich volcanic hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) deposits and epithermal and porphyry-hosted deposits became recognized. Exploration of the Silurian volcanics is not yet as extensive as exploration of the Ordovician sequence and as a consequence major discoveries such as Sky’s Hume discovery are still being made.
With prevailing gold prices reaching historic highs the extensive gold mining history of the Lachlan Fold Belt has received fresh attention. In addition to Sky’s intensive drilling programme at Hume historic gold mines such as Stuart Town, Mt Adrah and Adelong have been recently acquired by new owners (ASX.KAU, ASX.FRN and ASX.DDD respectively). Alkane’s Boda discovery has also sparked fresh exploration for Ordovician-aged copper-gold porphyry systems by companies like Magmatic Resources, DevEx Resources, Godolphin Resources, Krakatoa Resources, Argent Minerals and Kincora Copper (in JV with Rarex Ltd).

Historical Exploration
Only limited historical exploration has been completed on the Cullarin West Project, with data not yet compiled into digital and GIS formats. Exploration data will be compiled over coming weeks to aid target generation and design of work programmes. The summary below is based on an initial review and it should be noted that further information may be identified which changes the interpretation of the data presented here.
At the Cullarin West prospect historical exploration has included airborne and ground magnetic surveys, a gradient array IP survey and drilling of two diamond core drill holes for 302.8m. The sampling protocol was to systematically sample the “sludges” from the drillholes (mud and rock chips collected from the outside return while drilling) but only to sample core where massive sulphides were present. Due to the focus of exploration on base metals neither sludge or core samples were routinely assayed for gold.

Figure 4 shows the assay sheets from DDH W-1 drilled in 1978 as reported to the Department of Mineral Resources in NSW (note that intervals are reported in feet). Elevated copper zinc and silver results can be observed from 150ft to 186ft (~46 – 57m). Due to the nature of sludge sampling these assays may be unrepresentative and Celsius intends to obtain access to the core from DDH W-1 for the purposes of sampling the core in a representative manner as soon as the core library re-opens to the public.

Little exploration has been completed at the Daltons and Gooda Creek goldfields since they were mined in the 1890’s and 1900’s. At Gooda Creek limited historical drilling has been carried out to test below the historical workings. Six diamond drill holes were drilled by Transit Mining in 1987 for 117.73 metres with holes sited in the field based on the interpreted depth and direction of the lode mined in the various shafts. Results included a very high grade result of 1.95 m at 23.1 g/t gold and 1.0% copper in TGC-2. The exact location of the holes will require field checking due to being laid out on a local grid, however results are included here to illustrate the potential of the Gooda Creek Project. Reports noted that gold was associated with massive sulphides, analogous to other Silurian-hosted mineralisation in the Lachlan Fold Belt. The Company believes a systematic approach to exploration including mapping historical workings and utilisation of geophysical techniques will enable the potential of the Gooda Creek project to host gold mineralisation to be assessed.
At Daltons Commissioners Gold Limited conducted an 8 hole (918 m) reverse circulation drilling programme in 2012, which yielded the following significant intersections (refer Appendix 1 :
- DAL008 – 1 m @ 27.1 g/t gold, from 54 m
ASX RELEASE | PAGE 5
==> picture [568 x 99] intentionally omitted <==
-
DAL004 – 1 m @ 2.67 g/t gold, from 114 m
-
DAL002 – 1 m @ 2.55 g/t gold, from 43 m, AND 1 m @ 0.57 g/t gold from 19 m
The results were interpreted to be confined to shear structures containing pyrite-arsenopyrite, with the intersections between the main NS shear structure and WNW trending cross structures interpreted to be the most likely zones for significant mineralisation. Further work was recommended to test this hypothesis. Additional exploration has principally comprised been rock chip sampling by government and private entities. Data from this sampling will be compiled and reviewed alongside open file geophysical information to assess the potential to host porphyry-hosted and/or intrusion-related gold mineralisation. Recent advances in the understanding of these systems, especially in the Lachlan Fold Belt, are expected to aid targeting at the Daltons Prospect.
Experienced consultants join the CLA team

Appendix 1: The following tables are provided to ensure compliance with the JORC Code (2012) requirements for the reporting of Exploration Results for the Cullarin West Project.
Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| 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. |
Cullarin West: Sludge samples from historical diamond drilling reported in NSW statutory reporting. Sludge samples may not be representative of mineralization and are being presented here to indicate the potential of Cullarin West only Gooda Creek: Core samples from historical diamond drilling reported in NSW statutory reporting. Core samples were taken in accordance to industry procedure however holes were sited based on historical workings and therefore may not represent be representative of mineralisation and intersections may not be true widths. Daltons: RC chip sampling to produce approximately 20 kg samples, that were then sub-sampled as per description below. |
| Drilling techniques |
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). |

Section 2: Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The Cullarin West Project comprises a single Exploration License Application ELA5928. To the Company’s knowledge no environmental or culturally significant sites are located within the application area A number of private properties are located across the application area and access will need to be negotiated with landowners |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Previous work referred to in this announcement was carried out by North Broken Hill Limited (subsequently North Ltd), Transit Mining and Commissioners Gold Limited. Historical exploration in the area has occurred over a number of years with data to be compiled as part of initial exploration into the project. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The tenement is situated near to and along the eastern margin of the Siluro- Ordivician Molong Belt; part of the Macquarie Arc of the Lachlan Fold Belt. Major copper-gold deposits occur in the Ordivician volcanics in the Lachlan Fold Belt where porphyry deposits formed within a 1,000km long intraoceanic island arc. The Silurian volcanic sequence is now understood to host gold mineralisation associated with volcanic hosted massive sulphide deposits (VHMS deposits) and sub-volcanic porphyries. Mineralisation models for Silurian-hosted mineralisation is still evolving aided by recent discoveries such as Sky’s Hume Deposit. |
| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: o easting and northing of the drillhole collar o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length andinterception depth o hole length.

| 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. |
Cullarin West: No data aggregation has been used. Gooda Creek: Intercepts for TGC-2 are presented based on length weighted averages. Daltons: Intercepts presented are based on length weighted averages. |
| Relationship between mineralisation 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’). _ |
Downhole lengths only are presented, true widths are 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. |
See relevant maps in the body of this announcement. |
| 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 known results have been disclosed. |
