Exploration Update Webb Project -RC Drilling Complete

Highlights:

  • Drilling programs completed at Shep and Hathi.

  • Favourable mafic / ultramafic lithologies intersected in multiple holes at Shep.

  • Hole testing largest EM target at Shep intersects 50m sulphide zone with carbonate veins and hematite alteration.

  • Felsic and mafic intrusive rocks detected at Hathi.

  • Priority samples dispatched for analysis.

CGN Resources Limited ( ASX: CGR, or “the Company” ) advises that our first pass RC drilling program at the Webb Project is complete. The aim of the program was to identify favourable lithologies that may host copper, nickel and rare earth mineralisation. The RC drilling has been conducted at the Shep, and Hathi targets and pre-collars have been drilled at Snorky and Horton. A total of 3,103 metres of RC was drilled across the project. Drilling productivity was hampered by some unseasonal rains and access issues related to dune crossings. The on-site teams from the Company, JB Contracting and Top Drill did an exceptional job overcoming the access issues.

Observations from the drilling are encouraging with both Shep and Hathi intersecting the targeted lithologies. At Shep, a magmatic Cu-Ni target, stratigraphic drilling confirmed targeting model with holes intersecting ultramafic and mafic rocks in the target area. The presence of these rocks over a wide area in the first few holes is very encouraging. Fine grained sulphide (pyrite) was detected in all the holes that intersected the intrusive rocks (see Appendix 1). Hole 24WBRC015 at Shep, testing the largest FLEM plate model, intersected a 50 metre zone of disseminated to semi-massive pyrite within a zone of brecciated and altered mafic to ultramafic intrusives. Given this result testing the plate further to the east is a priority after we receive the assays and get additional heritage clearance. Priority samples from Shep have been dispatched to Perth for analyses with results expected in six weeks, the remaining samples will be dispatched in the coming week.

Drilling at Hathi has tested several magnetic anomalies adjacent to a rare earth element (REE) intercept of 37m at 0.38% TREO in Hole W14RC045. The holes have intersected a variety of lithologies including felsic Intrusives, graphitic / pyritic shale (with some hydrocarbons), kimberlite and variety of clastic sediments. There are multiple sulphidic, pyrite baring horizons in the intrusives and within the sediments. The diversity of geology is very encouraging with the potential for various commodities in different geological settings. The Hathi priority samples are being dispatched to Perth for analysis this week.

CGN Resources Managing Director Stan Wholley commented:

“To successfully validate our targeting models at Shep and Hathi with the first few holes is testament to the high-quality work of the geology and geophysics team members. It is immensely satisfying to go to a greenfield site, interpret a target from remote sensing data, test it with drilling and validate the concept. Now we need to get the samples to the lab for testing and assess what kind of follow up drilling is required. This is a massive project in a highly prospective terrain and so far we have just 15 exploration holes into a 961 sq km project. There is still so much of the project to test with geophysics and drilling; we have a clear plan for this year, and we are working through it in a disciplined and methodical way.”

RC Programme Summary

At total of 17 holes have been completed at Shep, Hathi, Snorky and Horton targets for a total of 3,103 metres. The exploration holes at Hathi were all completed as vertical holes, all bar one of the Shep holes were vertical and the single pre-collars at Snorky and Horton were angled holes. Two of the holes are water bores to support diamond drilling in our next diamond drilling campaign.

Nine exploration holes and water bore have been completed for a total of 1,849 metres at Shep. Eight of the holes were vertical with one drilled at -75 degrees to the south (Figure 2& Figure 2). The holes ranged in depth from 42 metres for the water bore up to 222 metres. Four vertical holes were completed at Hathi (Figure 1) for a total of 774m ranging in depth from 168 to 204 metres. At Snorky a 174m pre-collar was installed at -70 degrees towards 150 degrees (Figure 2), along with a 50 metre vertical water bore at the same site to support future diamond drilling. Finally, a 252 metre pre-collar at Horton, angled -60 degrees towards 090 degrees.

All exploration RC holes at Shep, Hathi, Horton and Snorky were sampled as two-metre composites over the entire hole length. The samples are currently on route to Perth and will be submitted to Intertek for multi-element analysis.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

24[th] June 2024

==> picture [178 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

The three holes drilled at the central part of Shep were collared in transported cover sediments overlying a sequence of siltstone, chert and carbonates of the Bitter Springs Fm, the basin sediments have been intruded by a large ultramafic lamprophyre and minor pyroxenite (Appendix 1 – RC Program Summary). Several zones within the lamprophyre and pyroxenite are pyrite bearing with fine to coarse grain biotite and ubiquitous magnetite. The central Shep holes extend over 1km, the igneous intrusive rocks have all been intersected at similar depth suggesting a large continuous sill intrusion.

In the southern Shep target area five holes were completed to test the interpreted sill and to test recently completed plate modelling of the fixed loop electromagnetic (FLEM) collected in March 2024. These holes intersected mainly carbonate sediments with some zones of iron rich oxidised rocks interpreted to be weathered mafic or ultramafic units.

The final hole of the program 24WBRC015 was drilled to test the edge of the largest FLEM plate model. The hole intersected a thick sequence of interbedded altered carbonate rocks and mafic / ultramafic intrusions. Below the oxide front from 116m to the end of hole at 180m the rocks are strongly sulphidic with trace to abundant fine pyrite. Carbonate veins, hematite alteration and minor bands of semi-massive pyrite appear to be associated with the intrusive rocks. The majority of the plate model falls outside of our current heritage clearance but given this result will be prioritised for heritage clearance in our next survey.

The pre-collar at Snorky encountered transported cover and sediments of the Bitter Springs Fm as planned. The Snorky pre-collar was drilled at -70 degrees towards 150 degrees. The pre-collar at Horton intersected a thick sequence of iron rich sandy sediments, some of the zones exhibited strong hematite alteration. These iron-rich hematic sediments have not been encountered previously and may and represent an interesting target as they may be a previously unknown younger sub-basin, Heavitree Quartzite representing a shallower cover sequence, or possibly alteration related to a deeper intrusion.

Drilling at Hathi has tested a variety of magnetic targets proximal to hole W14RC045. The four holes were drilled vertically with depths ranging from 168 - 204m. The variety and complexity of the geology of this region was unexpected and as such all of holes have been fully sampled for analysis. A variety of lithologies have been intersected including Intrusive felsic, graphitic shales with pyrite, carbonate sediments and kimberlite. All holes have been sampled as two-meter composites and will be dispatched to Perth in the coming week for multielement analyses.

Geophysical Modelling

CGN Resources completed a fixed loop electromagnetic (FLEM) survey at the Shep target in March 2024 (Announcement 9[th] April 2024). Given the positive FLEM results additional Maxwell plate modelling was commissioned to better define the shape and orientation of the conductors. The two most encouraging plate models occur in the southern Shep area (Figure 2). One of the best developed plates is proximal to hole W14RC009 which intersected 2m at 1.15%Ni within a broader 30m partially sampled zone above 0.5% Ni. Targeting during this program was limited due to heritage constraints. This resulted in these hole intersecting the plates within the oxidised portion of the holes which was typically iron rich.

Key aspects of the modelling for the southern Shep target area are outlined below:

  • Maxwell plate modelling completed using Leroi layered earth algorithm developed by CSIRO.

  • • Excellent spatial relationship of modelled plates and anomalies identified from FLEM channel processing.

  • Modelling results summary:

Project Overview

CGN Resources’ flagship Webb Project encompasses a significant 961km[2] package of tenements located in the highly prospective West Arunta Orogen in Western Australia (Figure 3). The region has garnered recognition as a unique opportunity for targeting copper, nickel, and critical metals within a mineral-rich terrain that has seen limited prior exploration. The Webb Project is surrounded by prominent mining corporations (Figure 3) and ambitious exploration companies, including WA1 Resources Ltd (ASX: WA1), the Rio Tinto Group – Tali Resources Pty Ltd Joint Venture, Encounter Resources Ltd (ASX: ENR) and IGO Ltd (ASX: IGO).

CGN Resources has already demonstrated the potential for diamondiferous kimberlites at Webb, discovering the largest kimberlite field in Australia. During its diamond exploration efforts, the Company compiled a collection of high-quality regional datasets. These datasets include multielement

geochemistry data from drill holes, high-resolution aeromagnetic data spanning most of the tenement area, a detailed Falcon gravity survey, as well as publicly available data from organisations such as the GSWA and Geoscience Australia. The company has used these data to develop six high priority targets targeting IOCG, nickel and rare earth elements. With the recent discovery of niobium and REE rich carbonatites on neighbouring properties with similar target criteria to the IOCG targets this deposit type is now also a valid target.

JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION, TABLE 1

Section 1 – Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g., 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
(e.g., ‘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 (e.g., submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
A single 708.5m diamond hole was
completed (WB24DD001) from surface using
a truck mounted dual-purpose rig provided
by DDH1 Drillers Australia.
The hole was drilled with a combination of
RC then HQ and NQ using conventional
wireline core drilling technique.
Diamond core will be cut lengthways,
producing a nominal 2-3kg half core
samples. Selected samples were submitted
with a minimum 0.5m and maximum 1.2m,
interval (generally 1m).
pXRF spot analysis was completed on whole
diamond HQ or NQ core during logging (not
reported in this release). This was completed
as at least one per metre and selected
based on observed geology and sample
competency where suitable intact core was
available.
The diamond drill hole will be selectively
sampled based on observations of structural
fabric, alteration minerals or veining.
Sampling was carried out under CGN’s
protocols.
Laboratory QAQC was also conducted.
864m of RC Drilling was completed by Top
Drill using a Schramm 386 rig and booster.
Individual 1m samples were taken and
placed on the ground in rows of twenty.
Analytical samples were taken as two metre
composites, Dry and damp samples were
collected as 2m composites using a cone
spiltter attached the rig. Wet samples were
spear sampled as 2m composites. Samples
were 2-3kg. samples to be analysed using
50g charge by fire assay and as four acid
digest for 62 element suite.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g., core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. 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.).
A single hole of RC 0-65m then diamond
core of HQ 65 - 408m and NQ diameter
(standard tube) to 708.5m as reported in this
announcement.
Core was oriented using the Reflex EZ Trac
orientation tool.
Downhole surveys for diamond drilling were
recorded using a North seeking GYRO
survey tool.
RC drill holes ranged in depth from 60m to
222mand were mostly drilled as vertical
holes. Except for one precollar at -70
degrees.

No compositing was applied.
The results reported within this release come
from one drill hole. The aim of the drilling
was to drill a deep hole which was planned
to pass through the overlying Neoproterozoic
stratigraphy into the older Paleoproterozoic
basement.
Orientation

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.
Core sampling will nominally be 1 metre
samples however smaller (0.5m) and larger
(1.3m) sample lengths may be submitted to
honour geological boundaries and to reflect
areas of mineralisation.
The drill hole was designed to best test the
interpreted geology in relation to regional
structure and lithological contacts. Drilling
was all inclined with orientation based on
predicted geological constraints and to allow
for core orientation be conducted.
Structural information obtained from the
drilling confirm the horizontal nature of the
drilled stratigraphy. Steeply dipping drill
holes intersect the stratigraphy at an optimal
angle and are unlikelyto introduce bias.

The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
Sample security was ensured under a chain
of custody between onsite personnel and the
relevant laboratories beingutilised.
Audits or

There has been no prior on-ground
exploration for base metals in the area.
Previous exploration focused on
diamondiferous kimberlite pipes which was
undertaken by GeoCrystal Pty Ltd (precursor
companyto CGN Resources Ltd).
Geology Deposit type, geological setting, and style
of mineralisation.
The exploration project area is in the Lake
Mackay region of the Gibson Desert which is
within the southern portion of the Webb
1:250,000 geological map.
The stratigraphy of the project area is not
well constrained due to paucity of data
(drillhole and outcrop) but is thought to
comprise recent fluvial, alluvial and aeolian
deposits and a poorly developed surficial
soil. These sediments are composed of
sand, silt, and clay. Areas to the east, west
and south of the project tenements are
mapped as being underlain by up to 1,000 m
of the Neoproterozoic aged Heavitree
Quartzite which in turn is overlain by
limestone and dolomite of the Bitter Springs
Formation and then by late Proterozoic and
Cambrian aged fluvial and deltaic
sandstones, siltstones and mudstones
known as the Angas Hills Formation. These
sequences are interpreted to overlay the
basement rocks of the Arunta Complex.
The kimberlite pipes intrude the Proterozoic
aged sediments and are overlain by the
Angas Hills Formation. The kimberlite bodies
are discrete volcanic intrusions which occur
within a cluster over an area of some 400
km2.

These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drillhole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the downhole
lengths are reported, there should be a
clear statement to this effect (e.g.,
‘downhole length, true width not known’).
Regional stratigraphic relationships were
inferred based on observations throughout
the basin. Downhole lengths have only been
reported however, observed contacts
suggest true withs are approximately 75-
85% of downhole length.
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 drillhole
collar locations and appropriate sectional
views.
Refer to Figures and Tables in the body of
the text and appendix.
Drill sections for the RC have not been
included at this time due to regional
scale of the drill spacing and uncertainty
over the correlation between drill holes.
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 avoiding misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.

A regional 400 m line spaced aeromagnetic
survey flown by the GSWA. It was this data
that highlighted the presence of “bullseye”
magnetic anomalies which were interpreted
to be intrusive bodies, possibly kimberlites.
A detailed 150 m line spaced aeromagnetic
survey over a 65 km2area was flown for
Meteoric in 2010. The data was interpreted
by Southern Geoscience Consultants. This
smaller survey provided more detailed
magnetic data and allowed modelling of
many of the “bullseye” magnetic targets.
A follow up 100 m spaced aeromagnetic
survey of 11,800 line-km was flown for CGN
in 2014. The data was interpreted by R.K.
Jones and identified more than 280
kimberlite targets.
A limited trial VTEM survey comprising 174.3
line-km was flown in selected areas of the
project area. This survey was aimed at
highlighting discrete conductive bodies that
may not have an associated magnetic
response.
In 2022, an airborne Falcon gravity
gradiometry survey was flown to cover the
central third of the project area; 200 m
spaced east-west flight lines were used for
the survey with 2 km north-south tie lines.
Townend Mineralogy Laboratory described a
total 16 drill chip samples in 2013 (one),
2014 (two) and 2015 (13).
From the 20thof March to the 27thof March,
approximately 16 line km of time-domain
fixed-loop electromagnetics (FLEM) was
collected across four rectangular 600x800m
(A-B-C-D) transmitter loops on 200m spaced
receiver lines at 100m station intervals. Loop
design was based on interpretations of filtered
magnetic data by Keith Jones. Data was
collected using 3-compent EMIT B-Field
antenna, SMARTEM receiver system and a
Zonge GT-30 transmitter mounted on the tray
of a 4WD. Loops A & B were collected using
a 0.25Hz base frequency. Loops C & D were
collected with a 0.5Hz base frequency.
Acquisition was completed by a 3-man crew
with a 4WD and ATV vehicles. Approximately
20 Amps of current was injected into each
loop and resultant data was observed over
40-time channels. Data quality is generally
OK. However, given the conductivity of the
subsurface (> 50 ohm.m) the last 5-time
channels often do not repeat due to system
noise. 100m infill lines @ 50m stations were
recommended over identified anomalies.
These were not collected due to time
constraints.

The raw data delivered by Zonge was
merged into stacked profiles for 40 channels
across the three components (X, Y, Z).
QAQC was completed daily on incoming

From the 28thof February to the 19thof March,
approximately 19.4 line km of pole-dipole
induced polarisation was collected along five
NW-SE orientated 2D transverses over the
Shep, Surus, Snorky, Horton and Tantor
target areas. The IP lines were planned so
that data could be collected along heritage
cleared access tracks.
Data was collected using an GDD 16ch
receiver system and a GDD 5KVa
transmitter mounted on the tray of a 4WD.
The data was collected using 100m and
200m Rx dipoles and a roll along geometry
to n= 16 with 100m move-up. A 4-man crew
collected the survey. The survey was
originally intended to be collected using a
100m dipole-dipole array. However, initial
testing determined that the highly conductive
subsurface was limiting depth penetration
and demising data quality. Subsequently,
100m, 200m and 800m Tx dipoles were
trialled. Eventually it was concluded that a
Pole Tx was required, and the additional
200m receiver dipoles could improve data
quality at depth. 2 to 6 amps of transmitting
current was achieved using the Tx Pole.
The raw data was imported into an TQIPdb
database that was delivered by Zonge.
Merlin completed QC on the incoming field
