CGN Resources Completes 2024 Ground Geophysics Programs - Enhancing All Key Drill Targets

Highlights:

  • Successful completion of 2024 ground geophysics programs at Webb Project.

  • Surveys significantly enhanced targets and improved drill targeting.

  • Chargeable and conductive bodies were seen in the data at all the tested targets.

  • Induced polarisation (IP) surveys completed at Surus, Shep, Snorky, and Horton.

  • Gravity surveys confirm the presence of regionally significant gravity targets at Surus, Tantor, Snorky and Horton.

  • Fixed-loop electro-magnetic (FLEM) survey completed at Shep.

CGN Resources Limited ( ASX: CGR, or “the Company” ) is pleased to announce the completion of the 2024 ground-based geophysical programs at the Webb project in the West Arunta region of Western Australia. The work has enhanced our key targets (Figure 1) which will improve drill targeting for the upcoming diamond and reverse circulation drilling programs.

At Surus, Snorky, Horton and Tantor the ground gravity surveys have confirmed the presence of the regionally significant airborne gradient gravity anomalies and improved the resolution of the targets. The IP survey lines have located compelling evidence of chargeable and conductive bodies at all four of our IOCG targets (Surus, Snorky, Horton and Tantor) which are coincident with gravity anomalies. At the Shep target the two IP lines (PDP Line 1 and 2) both detected chargeable and conductive zones coincident with the interpreted position of the mafic sills. Four FLEM conductor anomalies were also observed, two of which are coincident with the interpreted position of the mafic sills. The results corroborate the Company’s exploration models underscoring the potential of the upcoming drilling campaign.

CGN Resources is well funded and has secured all the necessary permits to commence drilling work immediately. In the event of a discovery, additional clearances are already in place to expedite further exploration.

CGN Resources Managing Director Stan Wholley commented:

“It is very pleasing to have completed the 2024 ground-based geophysics programs at the project on time and on budget. However, it is most pleasing that the results have supported our exploration models and improved our geological understanding, allowing us to refine our drilling to concentrate on the most compelling parts of the targets. We are in the West Arunta because of the large-scale target potential to produce meaningful discoveries. Their scale also necessitates us to identify the most compelling parts of the targets as quickly as possible. This is why we have completed detailed ground surveys and why we have completed substantial heritage surveys so we can follow up and expand on what we find quickly and efficiently.

Drilling will commence in April at the Surus target, with a 650m deep diamond hole partially funded by a $220k EIS grant. With such positive results from the recent IP survey, Surus has never looked more promising, and the team cannot wait to get the rigs on site and commence the 2024 drilling programs.”

2024 Ground-based geophysical programs

The Company commends the geophysical contractors, Zonge Engineering (Zonge) and Atlas Geophysics (Atlas), for maintaining high productivity despite challenging weather conditions. The works were completed on time and budget. With the surveys completed, the Company is now going through a rigorous modelling and interpretation phase, this work is well underway, and the initial findings are positive as outlined in the sections below.

The 2024 ground electrical geophysical surveys were collected in late February and March 2024 by Zonge comprising 19.4 line km of 2D pole-dipole induced polarisation (PDP) on five lines. Additionally, ~16 line km of fixed loop electromagnetics (FLEM) were collected across four transmitter loops. The surveys focused on five target areas: Surus, Tantor, Shep, Snorky and Horton (Figure 1).

The ground gravity surveys were conducted by Atlas during March 2024 over the four IOCG targets of Surus, Snorky, Horton and Tantor. The data was collected on 200m spaced lines with100m station spacing over the areas shown in Figure 1.

More details on the methodology and technical aspects of the surveys are presented in Table 1 attached to this announcement.

Gravity survey results

The ground gravity survey results successfully confirmed the regionally significant positive gravity anomalies originally interpreted from the Falcon GDD airborne gravity survey flown in 2022. Gravity surveys are considered a critical exploration tool for IOCG exploration. They can help map iron oxide alteration zones that typically result in large density contrasts and cause positive gravity anomalies. The results confirm the scale of the targets at Surus, Snorky, Horton and Tantor. The high-resolution ground gravity survey has improved the Company’s understanding of the shape and orientation of the targets. This has allowed CGN Resources to better define where to place our first pass drillholes into the targets. Figures 2 & 3 provide a plan view of the newly collected ground gravity data over Surus, Snorky and Horton anomalies. The Company and our advisors are developing 3D inversions models of the data to improve further improve our drill targeting at the targets.

IP & FLEM survey results

The initial results of the IP and FLEM surveys are considered very encouraging. IP surveys are used to detect disseminated sulphide mineralisation and alteration zones that are commonly associated with IOCG deposits. The results indicate the presence of chargeable and conductive anomalies coincident with the targeted gravity anomalies at all four of the IOCG targets and with the interpreted mafic sill at Shep. EM surveys are used to detect massive sulphide mineralisation typical of magmatic nickel and base metal deposits. The results obtained indicate the presence of four discrete mid to late time conductor anomalies. Two of these anomalies are coincident with the interpreted mafic sill at Shep. The presence of these chargeable and conductive anomalies is exactly what was being targeting by these surveys, and to have them well aligned with our other data sets (gravity and magnetic) is highly encouraging.

Surus IOCG target

The Surus target is a large, regionally significant gravity anomaly adjacent to major a crustal feature that splays off the Central Australian Suture. The recent IP and gravity surveys provides evidence of chargeable and conductive rocks are present coincident with a significant density anomaly (Figure 4). These attributes are consistent with geophysical features seen in other IOCG systems in Australia and globally.

The Surus results confirm the area as a priority IOCG target. Of particular interest is a moderate to high amplitude chargeability anomaly in the centre of the LINE PDP 4, which is flanked by two conductors, and is coincident with the density anomalies originally identified from Falcon AGG data and confirmed by the recently completed ground gravity survey. Drilling is planned to commence at the target in late April / early May 2024. The area has been the subject of a significant weather event which has closed the access roads delaying the start of the program. We are awaiting the completion of drilling from a neighbouring project before the rig will mobilise to site. The planned hole is designed to test parts of the coincident gravity and IP anomalies from the recent campaign (Figure 5).

Shep nickel target

The Shep target was the only location that had both IP and FLEM surveys collected. The target was conceived as a potential nickel sulphide target based on high-grade nickel intercepts in earlier drilling coincident with a magnetic anomaly interpreted to be a potential ultramafic sill (see announcement November 1[st] , 2023).

The electrical surveys have upgraded the nickel prospectivity at the Shep target. The two IP lines (PDP Line 1 and 2) both detected chargeable and conductive zones coincident with the interpreted position of the mafic sills. Four FLEM conductor anomalies were observed, two of which are coincident with the interpreted position of the magnetic sills.

Snorky and Horton targets

The Snorky and Horton targets are significant (kilometre scale) gravity anomalies present in both the airborne and ground-based surveys. The targets are adjacent to the west of a large regional structure splaying off the central Australian suture. The targets occur within a regional copper geochemistry anomaly based on previous drilling (see Prospectus October 2023).

The electrical surveys have upgraded the IOCG prospectivity at the Snorky and Horton targets. The two IP lines (PDP Line 1 and 2) detected mod to strong chargeability anomalies coincident with the Falcon gravity anomalies.

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 6). 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 6) 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, a high-resolution aeromagnetic survey 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.

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 555m diamond hole was completed
(TNTDD001) from surface using a YDX-3L
track mounted small footprint diamond
drilling rig contracted through TopDrive
Drillers Australia.
The hole was drilled with a combination of
HQ and NQ using conventional wireline core
drilling technique.
Diamond core was 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 was 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.

type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc.).
A single hole of diamond core of HQ to
161.8m and NQ diameter (standard tube) to
555.5m as reported in this announcement.
Previous drilling consisted of RC and aircore
drilling.
Core was oriented using the Reflex EZ Trac
orientation tool.

Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative nature
of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
The drilling was reconnaissance in nature,
primarily aimed at identifying lithology,
structure and geological setting.
Samples were retained in standard drill core
trays.
Diamond Core recovery in the reported
samples is generally >99% with minor zones
of broken core having lower recoveries.

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 was nominally 1 metre
samples however smaller (0.5m) and larger
(1.3m) sample lengths were 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

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.

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.
Drillhole
information
A summary of all information material to
the understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drillholes:

easting and northing of the drillhole
collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres) of
the drillhole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole.

downhole length and interception depth

hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the information is
not Material and this exclusion does not
detract from the understanding of the
report, the Competent Person should
clearly explain why this is the case.
A list of the drillholes completed along with
associated data is provided in Appendix 1.
All information that is material to this release
has been included.

No upper cut-offs have been applied.
Relationship
between

lengths
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.

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.
All applicable information has been reported.
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; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.
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

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
field data. Minor decay editing was
completed at some stations. The final data is
delivered in industry standard *.TEM format.
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

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
data and 2D modelling of the edited data
using Zonge 2D inversion code. Loke 2D
inversion was also completed on line 4.
Ground gravity surveys were conducted over
Surus, Snorky, Horton and Tantor the
surveys were completed using a 200x100
station spacing. Atlas Geophysics provided
two, two-man crews who worked on foot or
with small ATV Vehicles to collect the data.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further
work (e.g., tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).
Drill testing of untested magnetic anomalies
will continue aimed at confirming the
presence of ultramafic intrusive bodies and
providing material to test for the presence of
base metal anomalies.
Additionally, IOCG targets have been
interpreted from geophysics and will be
tested over the coming two years. There is
also Nickel targets and REE targets within
the tenure.
