Significant extension of high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu-Co zones at Julimar
Three high-grade zones extended by exceptional new drill intersections, plus a new 40 metre wide interval of matrix, minor massive and disseminated sulphides in the G1 Zone
==> picture [510 x 12] intentionally omitted <==
Highlights
-
Exceptional new results from ongoing resource definition drilling at the ~1.6km x 0.8km Gonneville Intrusion have significantly extended three high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu-Co+/-Au zones (G1, G3 and G4).
-
Significant new drill intersections from the high-grade G1 Zone (the “discovery zone”) include:
-
31m @ 3.3g/t Pd , 0.7g/t Pt, 0.4% Ni, 0.2% Cu, 0.03% Co from 76m (JD010) including:
- 13m @ 5.8g/t Pd, 1.5g/t Pt, 0.7% Ni, 0.4% Cu, 0.04% Co from 83m (JD010);
-
30m @ 2.8g/t Pd , 0.3g/t Pt, 0.4% Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.03% Co from 164m (JD006), including:
- 6.4m @ 6.3g/t Pd, 0.5g/t Pt, 1.0% Ni, 0.4% Cu, 0.07% Co from 167.3m (JD006);
-
9m @ 5.7g/t Pd, 1.1g/t Pt, 1.1% Ni, 1.5% Cu, 0.06% Co from 103m (JRC019);
-
9.2m @ 4.6g/t Pd , 0.7g/t Pt, 0.3% Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.02% Co from 200.8m (JD009);
-
5m @ 3.4g/t Pd , 0.7g/t Pt, 1.1% Ni, 3.3% Cu, 0.07% Co from 46m (JRC023);
-
9m @ 2.7g/t Pd, 0.6g/t Pt, 0.6% Ni , 0.3% Cu, 0.04% Co from 63m (JRC025); and
-
40m interval of visually logged matrix, minor massive and disseminated sulphides from 224m in hole JD013, 80m down-dip of JD003 (17.6m at 5.3g/t Pd, 1.0g/t Pt,1.3% Ni, 0.6% Cu, 0.07% Co) – suggests that the G1 Zone is widening down-dip to the west .
-
G1 Zone remains open along strike to the south and down-dip and is defined over ~ 400m of strike and up to ~ 340m of dip extent .
-
High-grade PGE-Cu-Au dominant G4 Zone intersected in two new holes over 300m apart:
-
25.7m @ 3.9g/t Pd, 2.3g/t Pt, 0.7g/t Au , 0.2% Ni, 0.8% Cu , 0.02% Co from 418.1m (JD006), including:
- 6.7m @ 10.6g/t Pd, 7.7g/t Pt, 1.3g/t Au, 0.2% Ni, 1.0% Cu, 0.02% Co from 426m (JD006);
-
25m interval of visually logged disseminated sulphides from 240m (JD010 – assays pending).
-
G4 Zone appears to be localised along the footwall contact of the Gonneville Intrusion , a new highly prospective and wide-open target position.
-
In addition, a new 27m interval of visually logged heavily disseminated sulphides from 81m in JRC048 is interpreted to be a similar style of mineralisation and may extend G4 over ~400m east (all assays pending).
-
Shallow high-grade G3 Zone , to the west of and parallel to the G1 Zone, intersected in two holes:
-
13.7m @ 4.4g/t Pd, 0.9g/t Pt, 0.7% Ni, 0.7% Cu, 0.05% Co from 29.3m (JD006);
-
29m interval of visually logged heavily disseminated sulphides from 125m (JD013 – assays pending).
-
G3 Zone remains wide-open.
-
Assays are pending for a further 25 completed drill holes (3 diamond and 22 RC).
-
Chalice is fully-funded to continue its accelerated 3-rig program at Julimar with ~$50 million in cash and investments.

Chalice Gold Mines Limited (“Chalice” or “the Company”, ASX: CHN | OTCQB: CGMLF) is pleased to report significant new results from ongoing exploration activities at its 100%-owned Julimar NickelCopper-PGE Project , located ~70km north-east of Perth in Western Australia.
Three rigs (two Reverse Circulation (“RC”) and one diamond) are continuing to drill at the Gonneville Intrusion, where Chalice recently made a major high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu-Co discovery (refer to ASX Announcement on 23 March 2020).
Drilling results continue to demonstrate that the Gonneville Intrusion hosts both high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu-Co +/- Au zones in massive/matrix/stringer/disseminated sulphides and widespread PGE-Ni-Cu mineralisation associated with disseminated sulphides. The latest results have significantly extended the high-grade zones.
The Company continues its dual approach of targeting both extensions of the four known high-grade zones (G1-G4) with 40-80m spaced step-out drill holes and scoping out the extensive zones of disseminated sulphides on a 200m x 80m spaced grid.
A total of 15 diamond drill holes and 62 RC drill holes have been completed to date, of which results for 12 diamond and 40 RC holes have been reported including the five new diamond holes (JD006-JD009 and part of JD010) and 20 RC holes (JRC018-37) reported in this announcement. Assays are pending for a further 25 completed drill holes (3 diamond and 22 RC).
Chalice Managing Director, Alex Dorsch, said: “This is an exciting step-change in our ongoing exploration program at Julimar in that the new results highlight the potential for material growth in the high-grade zones we have identified to date.
“The recent results from drilling in the G1, G3 and G4 Zones confirm that these zones host exceptionally high-grade mineralisation and remain open. The new 40 metre wide interval of matrix, minor massive and disseminated sulphides in the G1 Zone is 80m down-dip from one of our best high-grade intersections in JD003, which suggests that the zone may be widening and it remains open down-dip to the west.”
“The recently discovered PGE-copper-gold dominant G4 Zone, announced in early July, has also been intersected in two, potentially three new holes and we now believe this could represent an entirely new target horizon along the footwall contact of the Gonneville Intrusion with potential for further growth.
“The key takeaway is that we are rapidly expanding the core of high-grade, high-tenor sulphide mineralisation within these three zones, confirming the significance of the Gonneville discovery.”
Drilling results – G1 Zone
A total of 12 new step-out diamond and RC drill holes targeting the high-grade G1 Zone have been drilled on a nominal 40-80m x 80m grid. Assay results have confirmed that the G1 zone extends over ~400m of strike length and up to ~340m of dip-extent ( Figures 1 and 2 ).

As previously reported on 9 July 2020, JD010, drilled to the south-east of the discovery hole JRC001 (due to access restrictions at that time), intersected the G1 Zone. Assay results have now confirmed a wide intersection of high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu mineralisation:
- 31m @ 3.3g/t Pd, 0.7g/t Pt, 0.4% Ni, 0.2% Cu, 0.03% Co from 76m (JD010) including:
o 13m @ 5.8g/t Pd, 1.5g/t Pt, 0.7% Ni, 0.4% Cu, 0.04% Co from 83m (JD010).
As previously reported on 15 June 2020, JD006, drilled ~80m to the north of JRC005, also intersected the G1 Zone. Assay results have now confirmed a wide intersection of high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu-Co mineralisation:
- 30m @ 2.8g/t Pd, 0.3g/t Pt, 0.4% Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.03% Co from 164m (JD006), including:
o 6.4m @ 6.3g/t Pd, 0.5g/t Pt, 1.0% Ni, 0.4% Cu, 0.07% Co from 167.3m (JD006).
Current hole in progress JD013, drilled ~70m to the west of JD003, intersected a 40m wide interval of visually logged matrix, minor massive and disseminated sulphides from 224m ( Figure 3 ). The intersections is ~80m down-dip of the previously reported significant JD003 intersection in the G1 Zone (17.6m @ 5.3g/t Pd, 1.0g/t Pt, 1.3% Ni, 0.6% Cu, 0.07% Co from 191.4m).

Figure 3. Gonneville Cross Section (6,512,508mN +/- 25m).
The core zone of sulphide mineralisation (224-264.5m) visually logged in JD013 comprises an interlayered serpentinite-gabbro sequence with zones of heavily disseminated to matrix sulphides with minor massive sulphides in serpentinite, and minor disseminated to stringer sulphides in gabbro subunits ( Table 1 and Figure 4 ). The lower contact of this zone is cut by a post-mineralisation dolerite dyke and the hole is continuing in order to test the projected G4 Zone target position.
The new wide intersection demonstrates the potential of the G1 Zone to grow and widen down-dip to the west. The zone remains open down-dip and along strike to the south.

All new significant drill intersections are listed in Appendix 1 and new drill hole collar locations and hole orientation details are provided in Appendix 2 .
Drilling results – G4 Zone
The G4 Zone was originally discovered in JD005 (23.9m @ 1.7g/t Pd, 0.4g/t Pt, 0.5g/t Au, 0.1% Ni, 0.7% Cu, 0.02% Co from 313m to end-of-hole, including 10.1m @ 2.9g/t Pd, 0.6g/t Pt, 1.2g/t Au, 0.1% Ni, 1.3% Cu, 0.01% Co), as reported on 9 July 2020.
Two new diamond drill holes, located ~300m apart, have intersected the G4 Zone (JD006 and JD010) proximal to the footwall contact of the Gonneville Intrusion ( Figures 1 and 5 ).
==> picture [511 x 370] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5. Gonneville Cross Section 6,512,430mN +/- 10m.
In addition, a shallow RC hole (JRC048) has intersected a 27m wide interval of heavily disseminated chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite dominant sulphide mineralisation associated with the eastern contact of the Gonneville intrusion, as well as a narrow interval (2m wide) of massive sulphides higher in the hole (all assays pending).
The heavily disseminated chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite dominant mineralisation intersected in JRC048 (81-108m) has a similar style and geological setting to the G4 Zone intersected at depth in JD005-6 & JD010, located ~300m to the west ( Figure 1 ).

A preliminary interpretation of the projected footwall contact of the Gonneville intrusion suggests this highly prospective contact is below the depth of nearby RC holes and hence is largely untested. This prospective contact position will be a priority for further drill testing and EM geophysics.
The presence of mineralisation associated with the footwall contact is viewed as significant and highlights the prospectivity of the large new SQUID EM Conductors ‘X’ and ‘Y’ situated to the north-west of the Intrusion.
The G4 Zone remains open and further step-out drilling is underway.
Drilling results – G3 Zone
As previously reported on 15 June 2020, JD006 intersected a shallow zone of matrix sulphides to the west of the G1 Zone. Assay results have confirmed a wide intersection of high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu-Co mineralisation:
- 13.7m @ 4.4g/t Pd, 0.9g/t Pt, 0.7% Ni, 0.7% Cu, 0.05% Co from 29.3m , including:
9.4m @ 5.8g/t Pd, 1.2g/t Pt, 0.9% Ni, 0.9% Cu, 0.06% Co from 30.1m
The G3 Zone has also been intersected in current hole JD013, ~80m to the north, where visual results indicate a 29m wide interval of 3-15% disseminated sulphides from 125m ( Table 1 ), all assays are pending ( Figure 3 ).
The zone was also intersected in JD012, ~40m to the west of the above intersection, where visual results indicate a 7.5m wide interval of heavily disseminated / matrix sulphides from 58.2m, all assays are pending ( Figure 5 ). The G3 zone remains open in all directions and further step-out drilling is planned.
Drilling results – Conductor ‘F’ Target
Six new reconnaissance RC holes have been completed at the southern end of the Gonneville Intrusion, where a ~650m x ~250m PGE-Ni-Cu soil anomaly partly overlaps MLEM Conductor ‘F’. Assays have been received for one hole only (JRC037), which has intersected narrow zones of high-grade mineralisation associated with disseminated sulphides:
-
3m @ 1.9g/t Pd, 0.4g/t Pt, 0.4% Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.04% Co from 45m;
-
4m @ 1.1g/t Pd, 0.3g/t Pt, 0.2% Ni, 0.2% Cu, 0.02% Co from 58m; and,
-
2m @ 1.6g/t Pd, 0.7g/t Pt, 0.4% Ni, 0.4% Cu, 0.03% Co from 68m.
Assays for the remaining five holes are pending, however preliminary visual results indicate that the holes have intersected narrow zones of disseminated sulphides in serpentinite. The Gonneville Intrusion in this area is pervasively cut by late-stage granite intrusions and the holes were drilled from sub-optimal locations due to surface restrictions.
As such, additional RC drill holes are underway to the east to adequately test the target area.
Drilling results – Disseminated Sulphide Zones
19 new step-out RC drill holes targeting the disseminated sulphide zones have been drilled, on a 200m x 80m step-out grid. Assay results continue to demonstrate the widespread nature of disseminated sulphides within the Gonneville intrusion, with several wide intervals of PGE-Ni-Cu intersected ( Figure 6 ).

Forward plan
Chalice is continuing its approach of simultaneously exploring and evaluating the zones of high-grade PGENi-Cu-Co+/-Au mineralisation and the extensive PGE-Ni-Cu zones associated with disseminated sulphides within the ~1.6km x 0.8km Gonneville Intrusion.
Ongoing and planned activities at Julimar include:
-
RC drilling – a ~20,000m Phase 2 RC drill program is underway utilising two rigs. Drilling is being undertaken on a 200m x 80m spaced grid over the ~1.6km x ~0.8km Gonneville Intrusion to provide sectional east-west coverage and to define the extent of the mineralised system. In high-grade target areas, RC drilling continues on a nominal 80m x 80m step-out grid.
-
Diamond drilling – a diamond drill rig continues to step-out from known high-grade zones (on a nominal 80m x 80m grid) and test new DHEM targets. A second diamond drill rig is being sourced, which is anticipated to mobilise to site in the coming weeks.
-
EM Geophysics (DHEM and ground EM) – DHEM continues to play a key role in identifying potential high-grade targets for follow-up drilling and will be completed on all diamond holes and selected RC holes. It is important to note the lack of an EM target does not preclude the presence of highgrade mineralisation.
-
Metallurgical testwork – a preliminary metallurgical testwork program is underway on four ore types – massive, matrix, disseminated and oxide.

About the Julimar Nickel-Copper-PGE Project, Western Australia
The 100%-owned Julimar Nickel-Copper-PGE Project is located ~70km north-east of Perth in Western Australia on private land and State Forest. The Project was staked in early 2018 as part of Chalice’s global search for high-potential nickel sulphide exploration opportunities.
Chalice interpreted the possible presence of a mafic-ultramafic layered intrusive complex at Julimar based on high resolution regional magnetics. The large complex is interpreted to be ~26km long and is confirmed to be highly prospective for nickel, copper and platinum group elements. Prior to Chalice, it had never been explored for these metals ( Figure 8 ).

Figure 8. Julimar Project tenure over regional magnetics.
Chalice commenced a systematic, greenfield exploration program in mid-2019 in the southern portion of the Project, on private land, targeting high-grade Ni-Cu-PGEs.
An initial RC drill program commenced in Q1 2020 and resulted in the discovery of high-grade nickelcopper-cobalt-PGE mineralisation at the newly named Gonneville Intrusion. Drilling to date has established the ~1.6km x 0.8km Intrusion has widespread zones of PGE mineralisation as well as several wide zones of high-grade PGE-Ni-Cu-Co +/- Au. The significant discovery established the new West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province.
Four high-grade massive / matrix / heavily disseminated sulphide zones have been intersected to date, which are up to ~30m wide and have been defined over a ~400m x ~350m area. The zones typically have a grade range of 3-15g/t PGEs, 0-1.2g/t Au, 0.5-3.3% Ni, 0.4-4.5% Cu and 0.03-0.27% Co.
==> picture [595 x 17] intentionally omitted <==
Chalice Gold Mines Limited ABN 47 116 648 956 ASX : CHN | OTCQB: CGMLF
11
Broad intervals of PGE mineralisation have been confirmed in all holes drilled to date at the Intrusion and disseminated sulphides (trace to 3% on average) have been identified down to ~450m below surface. Disseminated sulphide zones intersected to date typically have a grade range of 0.5-2.0g/t PGEs, 0.1-0.2% Ni, 0.05-0.15% Cu and 0.01-0.03% Co. In general, metal content appears to show a positive correlation with sulphur content and levels of potentially deleterious elements (arsenic, cadmium, selenium) are all low.
Weathering appears to extend down to ~30-40m below surface and a well-developed saprolite profile after serpentinite contains elevated PGE grades (typically ranging from 1.2-4.5g/t PGEs) from near surface to a depth of ~25m.
About Platinum Group Elements and Palladium
The Platinum Group Elements (PGEs) are a group of six precious metals clustered together on the periodic table: platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), osmium (Os), rhodium (Rh) and ruthenium (Ru).
PGEs have many desirable properties and as such have a wide variety of applications. Most notably, they are used as auto-catalysts (pollution control devices for vehicles), but are also used in jewellery, electronics and hydrogen fuel cells.
Palladium is very rare and is currently one of the most valuable precious metals, with an acute supply shortage driving prices to a recent record high of US$2,856/oz in February 2020. The current spot price is approximately US$2,100/oz.
Strong demand growth (~11.5Moz in 2019[1] ) is being driven by regulations requiring increased use of the metal, particularly as an auto-catalyst in gasoline and gasoline-hybrid vehicles. The total palladium market supply from all sources in 2019 was ~10.8Moz, and >75% is sourced from mines in Russia and South Africa[1] .

| Drill sample recovery |
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. • 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. |
• Individual recoveries of diamond drill core samples were recorded on a qualitative basis. Generally sample weights are comparable and any bias is considered negligible. • Individual recoveries for RC composite samples were recorded on a qualitative basis. Sample weights were slightly lower through transported cover whereas drilling through bedrock yielded samples with more consistent weights. • No relationships have been evident between diamond core, RC sample grade andrecoveries. |
|
| Logging | • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. • Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
• All drill holes were logged geologically including, but not limited to; weathering, regolith, lithology, structure, texture, alteration and mineralisation. Logging was at an appropriate quantitative standard for reconnaissance exploration. • Logging is considered qualitative in nature. • All holes were geologically logged in full. • Diamond drill core is photographed wet and dry before cutting. |
|
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. • For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. • Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. • Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
• Diamond core was sawn in half and one- half quartered and selectively sampled over 0.2-1.2m intervals (mostly 1m). • Diamond drill core field duplicates collected as ¼ core. • RC assay samples were collected as two 1m splits from the rig cyclone via a cone splitter. The cone splitter was horizontal to ensure sample representivity. Wet or damp samples were noted in the sample logging sheet and a majority of samples were dry. • Sample preparation is industry standard and comprises oven drying, jaw crushing and pulverising to -75 microns (80% pass). • Field duplicates were collected from selected sulphide zones as a second 1m split directly from the cone splitter. • Drill sample sizes are considered appropriate for the style of mineralisation sought and the nature of the drilling program. • Auger soil sampling procedures are considered to be industry standard techniques and appropriate for reconnaissance exploration. |

Additional ore-grade analysis was performed as required for elements reporting out of range for Ni, Cr, Cu (ALS method code ME-OG-62) and Pd, Pt (ALS method code PGM-ICP27). • Auger soil samples were analysed for a suite of elements by aqua regia digest with an ICP-AES finish. Pt, Pd and Au were analysed by fire assay with an ICP-MS finish using a 30g charge. • Certified analytical standards and blanks were inserted at appropriate intervals for diamond, RC drill samples and auger soil samples • Approximately 5% of samples submitted for analysis comprised QAQC control samples. |
|
| 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. |
• Significant drill intersections are checked by the Project Geologist and then by the General Manager Exploration. Significant intersections are cross-checked with the logged geology and drill core after final assays are received. • One RC was tinned with a diamond hole to provide drill core for metallurgical testwork. These holes are were also useful as a comparison between grade/thickness variations over a 5m separation between drill holes. • Primary drill data was collected as hard copy records in the field and digitised at the Chalice Perth office where the data is validated and entered into the master database. • A 10g/t Au top-cut has been applied to diamond drill core assays. No other adjustments were made to the assay data received. |

| Data spacing and distribution |
• • • |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
• Diamond drill holes were typically positioned as close to orthogonal to the interpreted dip and strike of the known zone of mineralisation. However diamond drill holes JD010 and JD013 were drilled at less optimal azimuths due to site access constraints. • Results from the drilling to date are not considered sufficient to assume any geological or grade continuity. • Auger soil samples were collected on a nominal 100m x 50m spacing with infill samples collected at 25m x 50m spacing as part of an orientation survey. • No compositing undertaken for diamond drillcore or RC samples. |
|
| 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. |
• The orientation of the mineralisation reported in diamond and RC drill hole results is interpreted as close to orthogonal to the drill holes. JD010 is orientated about 55 degrees to strike and JD013 at 15 degrees to strike due to site access constraints. |

| the area, all primarily targeting Fe-Ti-V mineralisation. • Over 1971-1972, Garrick Agnew Pty Ltd undertook reconnaissance surface sampling over prominent aeromagnetic anomalies in a search for ‘Coates deposit style’ vanadium mineralisation. Surface sampling methodology is not described in detail, nor were analytical methods specified, with samples analysed for V2O5, Ni, Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn, results of which are referred to in this announcement. • Three diamond holes were completed by Bestbet Pty Ltd targeting Fe-Ti-V situated approximately 3km NE of JRC001. No elevated Ni-Cu-PGE assays were reported. • Bestbet Pty Ltd undertook 27 stream sediment samples within E70/5119. Elevated levels of palladium were noted in the coarse fraction (-5mm+2mm) are reported in this release. Finer fraction samples did not replicate the coarse fraction results. • A local AMAG survey was flown in 1996 by Alcoa using 200m line spacing which has been used by Chalice for targeting purposes. |
|||
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• The target deposit type is a magmatic Ni- Cu-PGE sulphide deposit, within the Yilgarn Craton. The style of sulphide mineralisation intersected consists of massive, matrix, stringer and disseminated sulphides typical of metamorphosed and structurally overprinted magmatic Ni sulphide deposits. |

| 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. |
• Significant intercepts are reported using a >0.3g/t Pd length-weighted cut off. A maximum of 4m internal dilution has been applied. • Metal equivalent values are not reported. |
|
| 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’). |
• All widths are quoted down-hole. • All drill holes were orientated to be as close as possible to orthogonal to the interpreted dip of the mineralised zone(s) and/or targets. |
|
| 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 figures in the body of text. |
|
| 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 significant intercepts have 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. |
