High grade mineralisation substantially extended at the Hualilan Gold Project

Highlights

  • Drilling has significantly extended the high-grade Magnata Fault mineralisation along strike and at depth with mineralisation remaining open in all directions.

  • GNDD-288 returned 14.2 metres at 13.6 g/t AuEq confirming mineralisation is strong at depth and pushed mineralisation more than 100 metres below the previous deepest hole.

  • Magnata Fault mineralisation now covers 400 metres strike and 400 metres vertically with mineralisation mapped in outcrop another 200 metres to the east.

  • Drilling has confirmed a third high-grade zone of mineralisation associated with the Magnata Fault and a significant halo of lower grade mineralisation not recognised in historical drilling.

  • All 33 holes of step out drilling on the Magnata Fault successfully intersected mineralisation with significant intersections including (Refer Table 1):

  • 51.6m at 4.5 g/t AuEq[2 ] - 3.9 g/t Au, 11.8 g/t Ag, 1.0% Zn from 96.5m including; 11.1m at 20.0 g/t AuEq[2] - 17.4 g/t Au, 51.1 g/t Ag, 4.5% Zn from 137.0m including 7.9m at 27.2 g/t AuEq[2] - 23.8 g/t Au, 65.2g/t Ag, 6.0% Zn from 139.0m (GNDD-272)

  • 96.0m at 2.0 g/t - 1.8g/t Au, 2.9g/t Ag, 0.3% Zn from 13.0m including; 44.0m at 4.1 g/t AuEq[2] - 3.7 g/t Au, 4.6 g/t Ag, 0.6% Zn from 65.0m including; 4.3m at 30.6 g/t AuEq[2] - 27.6 g/t Au, 35.4 g/t Ag, 5.9% Zn from 98.2m; and

    • 27.8m at 7.3 g/t AuEq[2] - 5.5 g/t Au, 12.9g/t Ag, 3.9% Zn from 399.0m including; 14.2m at 13.6 g/t AuEq[2] - 10.1 g/t Au, 20.6 g/t Ag, 7.3% Zn from 410.0m including; 2.0 metres at 53.4 g/t AuEq[2 ] - 49.4 g/t Au, 77.4 g/t Ag, 7.8% Zn from 412.0m (GNDD-288)
  • 21.0m at 7.6 g/t AuEq[2 ] - 5.7g/t Au, 32.1 g/t Ag, 3.4% Zn from 111.0m including ; 11.7m at 13.3 g/t AuEq[2 ] - 10.1 g/t Au, 54.8 g/t Ag, 5.9% Zn from 114.7m including; 4.4m at 29.9 g/t AuEq[2] - 23.1 g/t Au, 139 g/t Ag, 11.7% Zn from 116.7 m (GNDD-217)

Commenting on the results, CEL Managing Director, Mr Kris Knauer, said

“The results from our extended program on the Magnata Fault certainly did not disappoint. Each of the thirty three drill holes intersected mineralisation with one of the holes producing the second best result ever at Hualilan with an intersection of 422 gram metres of gold.

The Magnata Fault is shaping up a significant body of high-grade mineralisation at least 400 metres long extending from surface to 400 metres depth. It remains open in all directions and we have yet to drill what we consider the most exciting part of the Magnata Fault which is to the east of the current drilling."

ASX Release 29 July 2021

Challenger Exploration ( ASX: CEL ) (“ CEL ” the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce results from the Company's flagship Hualilan Gold Project in San Juan, Argentina. The results are from a series of drill holes designed to test for extensions of high-grade mineralisation on the Magnata Fault at depth and along strike. The program was particularly pleasing with all 33 drill holes intersecting mineralisation and the footprint of the high-grade Magnata Fault mineralisation being extended significantly.

HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights include GNDD-288 which intersected a combined 422 gram metres over three zones from near surface to 427 metres downhole. This is the second best hole ever drilled at Hualilan behind historical hole DDH-61 which intersected 5.4m at 95.4 g/t AuEq for 515 gram metres. Following the current drilling the Magnata Fault mineralisation remains open in all directions.

GNDD-288 is the deepest hole drilled to test the Magnata Fault and the intersection of 27.8m at 7.3 g/t including 14.2m at 13.6 g/t AuEq from 410.0m is more than 100 metres vertically below GNDD203 (21.8m at 4.5 g/t AuEq including 3.6m at 16.2 g/t AuEq) the previous deepest intersection on the Magnata Fault. GNDD-288 was collared to test below GNDD-157 and confirmed the previously reported intersection in GNDD-157 (12.0m at 20.9 g/t AuEq) is a new, and third, zone of east-west trending high-grade mineralisation associated with the Magnata Fault. Mineralisation on this new zone and the main Magnata Fault zone is open below 400 metres.

GNDD-217 (21.1m at 7.6 g/t AuEq from 111.0m including 4.4m at 29.9 g/t AuEq) and GNDD-227 (8.0m at 5.7 g/t AuEq from 222.0m) were drilled to test the Magnata Fault underneath earlier CEL drillhole GNDD-006 (6.5m at 4.6 g/t AuEq from 78.5m). Drillholes GNDD-217 and GNDD-227 have extended the high grade Magnata fault Mineralisation 150 metres vertically below GNDD-006.

The drilling confirmed that a significant halo of lower grade mineralisation surrounds the high-grade Magnata Fault mineralisation. This is illustrated by;

  • the top of GNDD-288 which intersected 96.0m at 2.0 g.t AuEq from 13.0m around a high grade zone of 4.3m at 30.6 g/t AuEq from 98.2m; and

  • GNDD-272 which intersected 51.6m at 4.5 g/t AuEq from 96.5m around a high grade zone of 7.9m at 27.2 g/t AuEq with a second zone of mineralisation 22 metres thick from 35.0m downhole above the main zone.

The surrounding halo of lower grade mineralisation was not recognised in the historical drilling and has the potential to add significant ounces and be important economically in an open cut development scenario.

Given the encouraging results, a further 14 holes have been programmed to continue to extend and infill the mineralisation to the west on the Magnata Fault with 7 of these completed (assays pending). Additionally, an initial eight holes are planned to test for extensions of the Magnata Fault mineralisation on the eastern side of the Hualilan Hills with drill pads currently being completed.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS

Magnata Fault Zone

The Magnata and Sanchez Faults are two large east-west oriented sub-vertical strike strip faults. The faults can be seen in outcrop extending for tens of kilometres to the east and west of Hualilan. The Magnata Fault Zone is located at Cerro Sur approximately 1.5 kilometres south of the Sanchez Fault and separates into the M1 and M2 Magnata Faults, both of which host high-grade mineralisation.

The Magnata and Sanchez Faults were historically recognised as major controls of the mineralisation at Hualilan. The mineralising fluids were interpreted to have migrated from a source below or along strike, within the faults forming steeply dipping zones of mineralisation within the Magnata and Sanchez Faults. These fluids migrating up the faults have also formed replacement Manto-style high grade lenses, oriented parallel to the limestone beds, dipping to the west adjacent to the faults.

This program of extension drilling on the Magnata Fault was designed as a series of fences of holes spaced at 50 metres along the Magnata Fault. The holes on each fence were collared to intersect the Magnata Fault approximately 50 metres below the previous hole. The location of the drill holes are shown in Figure 1 and the drill results are ordered from west to east in the following discussion.

The collar locations of three most easterly drill holes to test the Magnata Fault (GNDD-261, GNDD266, and GNDD-269) were limited by the start of the Hualilan Hills (Photo 1 below). The Magnata Fault mineralisation has been historically mapped in outcrop into and over the Hualilan Hills for another 200 metres east of GNDD-261. The eastern extensions of the Magnata Fault will be tested by a combination of the use of a man potable rig in the Hualilan Hills and drilling from the other side of the Hualilan Hills.

GNDD290

GNDD-290 is the most westerly hole reported to date and was drilled to test 50 metres east along strike from GNDD-179 and GNDD-286 which intersected 7.5m at 8.5 g/t AuEq . GNDD-290 confirmed that the Magnata Fault mineralisation extends another 50 metres to the west which is a total step-out of 100 metres from previous drilling. GNDD-290 intersected four separate zones of mineralisation including 2.1 metres at 2.7 g/t AuEq ( 1.4 g/t gold, 25.3 g/t silver, 2.1% zinc) from 139.5m and 4.0 metres at 4.6 g/t AuEq (1.9 g/t gold, 19.9 g/t silver, 5.5% zinc) from 162.6m.

The hole has been followed up by four drillholes (all assays pending) to test for extensions to the Magnata fault mineralisation comprising 50 metre step-outs west along strike. Additionally, GNDD318, GNDD-353 and GNDD-354 (all assays pending) have been drilled on the same section and GNDD290 to test up-dip and downdip of GNDD-290 (Figure 1).

GNDD-179, 264, 286

GNDD-179, GNDD-264, GNDD-286, and GNDD-321 (assay pending) were drilled to test for extensions to the mineralisation on the Magnata Fault 50 metres west of previous drilling. The drill holes step approximately 50 metres progressively deeper below GNDD-179 which was designed to intersect the Magnata fault 50 metres below the surface.

The grades on this section appear to be improving with depth GNDD-264 intersecting 22.1m at 2.3 g/t AuEq (1.4 g/t gold, 16.7 g/t silver, 1.7% zinc) from 105.0m. GNDD-286, the deepest hole on the section results have been received for, which was collared to intersect the Magnata Fault 50 metres below GNDD-264 intersected 10.2m at 6.2 g/t AuEq (4.2 g/t gold, 52.5 g/t silver, 3.0% zinc ) from 169.0m including a higher-grade 2.2m at 18.5 g/t AuEq (11.5 g/t gold, 170.5 g/t silver, 11.1% zinc ). GNDD-321 (assays pending) has been drilled to test another 50 metres down-dip from GNDD-286.

GNDD-294, GNDD272, GNDD-243

Drillholes GNDD-243, GNDD-272 and GNDD-294 were drilled to test progressively underneath earlier drillholes GNDD-014 (14.7m at 3.3 g/t AuEq) and GNDD-117 (10.0m at 2.7 g/t AuEq) which tested the Magnata Fault approximately 50 metres below surface. This fence of drill holes is shown in Cross Section 15 (Figure 2 over the page).

GNDD-272 intersected 11.1m at 20.0 g/t AuEq (17.4 g/t gold, 51.1 g/t silver, 4.5% zinc) from 137.0m including 7.9m at 27.2 g/t AuEq (23.8 g/t gold, 65.2g/t silver, 6.0% zinc) and extended the Magnata Fault mineralisation another 60 metres down dip. GNDD-243 was drilled 40 metres downdip from GNDD-272 and extended the mineralisation with an intersection of 7.1m at 3.6 g/t AuEq (2.2 g/t gold, 27.2 g/t silver, 2.6% zinc ) from 136.0m including a higher -grade zone of 1.1m at 16.7 g/t AuEq (9.0 g/t gold, 126.0g/t silver, 14.0% zinc) .

GNDD-294 was designed to test another 50 metres down dip from GNDD-243 and returned only a narrow intersection however drillholes GNDD-286 and GNDD-252. drilled off this section either side

of GNDD-294, and designed to intersect the Magnata Fault at the same depth as GNDD-294 both intersected much stronger mineralisation confirming mineralisation remains open at depth in this section of the Magnata Fault.

GNDD-282, GNDD-258, GNDD-240

Drillholes GNDD-240, GNDD-258 and GNDD-282 were drilled as a series of three holes to test the Magnata Fault midway between historical holes GNDD-015 and GNDD-020. The holes intersected mineralisation on both the M1 and M2 Magnata Faults with results including 3.5m at 4.6 g/t AuEq (2.7 g/t gold, 50.2 g/t silver, 2.9% zinc ) from 136.0m including of 1.3m at 11.3 g/t AuEq (6.6 g/t gold, 116.0 g/t silver, 7.6% zinc ) from 167.0m and 2.0m at 1.5 g/t AuEq (1.4 g/t gold, 0.3 g/t silver, 0.1% zinc ) in GNDD-240. The lower tenor of the mineralisation is interpreted as a result of there being limited open space for mineralisation to be deposited into at this location in the Magnata Fault.

GNDD-217, GNDD-223, GNDD-227, GNDD-265, GNDD278,

GNDD-217, GNDD-223, GNDD-227, GNDD-265, and GNDD-278 were drilled on the same section stepping progressively deeper to extend the Magnata Fault mineralisation below GNDD-006 which intersected 6.5 metres at 4.6 g/t AuEq from 78.5m. This series of holes is shown on Cross Section 12 (Figure 3 over the page).

GNDD-217 intersected 21.0m at 7.6 g/t AuEq (5.7g/t gold, 32.1 g/t silver, 3.4% zinc) from 111.0m including 11.7m at 13.3 g/t AuEq (10.1 g/t gold, 54.8 g/t silver, 5.9% zinc) including a higher grade section of 4.4m at 29.9 g/t AuEq(23.1 g/t gold, 139 g/t silver, 11.7% zinc) . GNDD-227 was collard to test the Magnata Fault 100 metres below GNDD-217 and intersected 8.0m at 5.7 g/t AuEq (4.2g/t gold, 53.6 g/t silver, 1.7% zinc) from 222.0m including 6.6m at 6.8 g/t AuEq (5.1 g/t gold, 64.2 g/t silver, 2.1% zinc).

The Company believes that the two deeper holes on this fence, GNDD-265 and GNDD-278, are likely to have been stopped short of the main Magnata Fault due to the Magnata Fault having steepened at depth. Accordingly, GNDD-265 is programmed to be extended another 70 metres deeper. The mineralisation intersected GNDD-265 ( 1.0 m at 10.3 g/t AuEq from 237.0m) and GNDD-278 ( 1.0 m at 1.1 g/t AuEq from 223.0m and 1.0 m at 1.5 g/t AuEq from 228.0m) is a new zone of mineralisation on the contact of the limestone and the overlying intrusive. Mineralisation is consistently seen at this contact elsewhere at Hualilan.

GNDD-227 intersected mineralisation at the contact between the limestone and intrusive 100 metres along the contact intersecting 3.7 m at 2.15 g/t AuEq from 179.2m including 0.9 metres at 7.9 g/t AuEq. GMDD-041E, which a 300 metre extension of metallurgical drillhole GMDD-041 designed to test if the new zone of high-grade mineralisation intersected in GNDD-157 was oriented east-west or north-south, intersected 1.6 metres at 9.7 g/t AuEq from 306.1m on the limestone-intrusive contact 50 metres south of GNDD-217.

GNDD-212, GNDD-221, GNDD-273, GNDD-274, GNDD-279, GNDD-283

This series of holes was drilled on the same section as earlier drillhole GNDD-145, which failed to intersect mineralisation. The Company interpreted GNDD-145 as likely having been terminated prior to reaching the Magnata Fault.

GNDD-221 was collared to intersect the Magnata Fault 50 metres up-dip from GNDD-145 and confirmed the presence of mineralisation on the Magnata Fault intersecting 8.2m at 2.0 g/t AuEq (1.5 g/t gold, 7.5 g/t silver, 0.8% zinc ). GNDD-274 was collared to test he Magnata Fault 100 metres below GNDD-221 and intersected 19.0m at 1.1 g/t AuEq (0.7 g/t gold, 9.6 g/t silver, 0.5% zinc) from 298.0m including a higher grade zone of 2.0m at 8.7 g/t AuEq (6.6 g/t gold, 48.8 g/t silver, 3.5% zinc).

GNDD-279 and GNDD-283 were drilled as shallow test of the Magnata Fault just off this section with both holes successfully intersecting near surface mineralisation on the Magnata Fault. GNDD-283 intersected 4.0 metres at 3.2 g/t AuEq (2.9 g/t gold, 17.8 g/t silver, 0.2% zinc) from 7.0m including 1.2m at 10.1 g/t AuEq (9.4 g/t gold, 49.7 g/t silver, 0.3% zinc).

These drill holes, which all successfully intersected mineralisation on the Magnata Fault, confirm that the earlier hole GNDD-145 was terminated above target and accordingly GNDD-145 is programmed to be re-entered and extended.

GNDD-281

GNDD-281 was drilled as a test of the Magnata Fault 50 metres below GNDD-203 which intersected 21.8m at 4.5 g/t AuEq from 299.0m including 3.6m at 16.2 g/t AuEq. GNDD-203 was, prior to this round of drilling, the deepest test of the Magnata Fault. GNDD-281 intersected a number of zones of mineralisation including the successful extension of the mineralisation encountered in GNDD-203 another 50 metres deeper.

The hole intercepted 2.6m at 2.8g/t AuEq (1.1 g/t gold, 26.2 g/t silver, 3.1% zinc) from 196.3m and 1.2m at 4.2g/t AuEq (3.0 g/t gold, 80.4 g/t silver, 0.3% zinc) from 292.0m and 1.6m at 1.3g/t AuEq (0.3 g/t gold, 24.6 g/t silver, 1.6% zinc) from 426.0m. Additionally, GNDD-281 intersected a broad zone of near surface mineralisation above the Magnata Fault returning 23.5m at 1.3g/t AuEq (1.1 g/t gold, 8.9 g/t silver, 0.3% zinc) from 42.5m. This extended the near surface mineralisation encountered in GNDD-203 by 50 metres. GNDD-281 and GNDD-288 ( 14.2m at 13.6 g/t AuEq) confirm that mineralisation on the Magnata Fault, which starts at surface, remains open below 400 metres.

GNDD-288, GNDD-289, GNDD-297

GNDD-288 was collared to test the Magnata fault 50 metres below GNDD-157. GNDD-157 had intersected 130.8m at 2.5 g/t AuEq including an unexpected 12.0m at 20.9 g/t AuEq plus a near surface zone of 66.0m at 0.6 g/t AuEq. The deeper zone of mineralisation in GNDD-157 included 4.1m at 56.8 g/t AuEq which was believed to potentially be new, and third, zone of east-west mineralisation associated with the Magnata Fault. This series of holes is shown on Cross Section 10 (Figure 4).

GNDD-288 confirmed that the presence of a third zone of mineralisation intersecting 27.8m at 7.3 g/t AuEq (5.5 g/t gold, 12.9g/t silver, 3.9% zinc ) from 399.0m including a higher grade zone of 14.2m at 13.6 g/t AuEq (10.1 g/t gold, 20.6 g/t silver, 7.3% zinc ). As Cross Section 10 (Figure 4) shows the high grade zone near the base of GNDD-288 correlates with the high grade zone in GNDD-157 confirming that the holes have intersected a previously unrecognised third east-west zone of high-grade mineralisation. The intercept in GNDD-288 includes a bonanza grade section of 2.0 metres at 53.4 g/t AuEq which correlates with the 4 metres in GNDD-157 at 56.8 g/t AuEq. This third east-west structure appears to have significant width and mineralisation remains open and strong at depth. Follow up drill holes are planned to test 50 metres below GNDD-288 and 50 metres above GNDD-157.

Additionally, GNDD-288 intersected the main Magnata Fault encountering 4.5m at 5.4 g/t AuEq (3.3 g/t gold, 31.2 g/t silver, 4.0% zinc) from 216.0m which extended the main Magnata Fault zone 100 metres below GNDD-032 with this main Magnata Fault zone still open at depth.

GNDD-288 intersected a significant zone of near surface mineralisation returning 96.0m at 2.0g/t AuEq (1.8g/t gold, 2.9g/t silver, 0.3% zinc) from 13.0m including 44.0m at 4.1 g/t AuEq (3.7 g/t gold, 4.6 g/t silver, 0.6% zinc) from 65.0 including a higher-grade section of 4.3m at 30.6 g/t AuEq (27.6 g/t gold, 35.4 g/t silver, 5.9% zinc) from 98.2m. This mineralisation is hosted in intrusives and correlates with the intersection of 66.0m at 0.6 g/t AuEq in GNDD-157. This is now interpreted as the southern end of the new Verde Zone which is interpreted to extend at least another 1.5 kilometres to the north.

GNDD-289 and GNDD-297 were near surface holes drilled with a spider rig capable of drilling at low angles. Both holes were collared to test for extensions of the new third zone of mineralisation 150 metres up-dip from GNDD-157. Both holes were collared east of the Main Magnata Fault and accordingly did not cross the main Magnata Fault structure. GNDD-289 and GNDD-297 confirmed the up-dip extension of the new zone of the mineralisation encountered in GNDD-157 returning intersections of 40 and 14 metres of lower grade mineralisation.

GNDD-261 and GNDD-269 GNDD-271

GNDD-261, GNDD-269, and GNDD-271 are the three most easterly holes to test the Magnata Fault. Due to the steep topography and access issues none of the holes were optimally sited to intersect the Magnata Fault. However, all three holes intersected mineralisation confirming that mineralisation remains open to the east on the Magnata Fault.

Results included 6.0 metres at 1.3 g/t AuEq (1.1 g/t gold, 12.2 g/t silver, 0.1% zinc) from 6m including 2.0 metres at 3.4 g/t AuEq (2.8 g/t gold, 34.4 g/t silver, 0.3% zinc) and 2.0 metres at 1.5 g/t AuEq (0.2 g/t gold, 87.3 g/t silver, 0.4% zinc) from 48m in GNDD-269. An intersection of 4.0 metres at 1.4 g/t AuEq (1.1 g/t gold, 5.2 g/t silver, 0.6% zinc) from 22.0m including 0.5 metres at 9.6 g/t AuEq (7.5 g/t gold, 17.6 g/t silver, 4.2% zinc) in GNDD-261 and 1.0 metre at 1.9 g/t AuEq (1.8 g/t gold, 3.7 g/t silver, 0.1% zinc) from 77.0m and 3.6 metres at 2.2 g/t AuEq (1.6 g/t gold, 6.4 g/t silver, 1.1% zinc) from 123.5m in GNDD-271.

ASX Release 29 July 2021

==> picture [130 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

Skarn mineralisation has been historically mapped in outcrop on the Magnata Fault in the Hualilan Hills another 200 metres to the east of these three drill holes. Additionally, the ground magnetics acquired by the Company shows the Magnata Fault extending at least 1 kilometre to the east of GNDD261 with this interpreted eastern extension of the Magnata fault cutting directly though the centre of the intrusion interpreted as being responsible for the mineralisation at Hualilan. This is regarded as a high-priority target by the Company and a series of drill holes are planned to test the Magnata Fault structure across this interpreted intrusion.

Due to the topography CEL intends to test much of the potential eastern extension of the Magnata Fault mineralisation from the eastern side of the Hualilan Hills. The Company has programmed a number of drill holes on the eastern side of the Hualilan Hills to test the eastern extend the Magnata Fault mineralisation to the east. CEL has completed the construction of access roads and is currently preparing drill pads with drilling to commence shortly.

2 Gold Equivalent (AuEq) values - Requirements under the JORC Code

  • Assumed commodity prices for the calculation of AuEq is Au US$1780 Oz, Ag US$24 Oz, Zn US$2,800 /t

  • Metallurgical recoveries for Au, Ag and Zn are estimated to be 89%, 84% and 79% respectively (see JORC Table 1 Section 3 Metallurgical assumptions ) based on metallurgical test work.

  • The formula used: AuEq (g/t) = Au (g/t) + [Ag (g/t) x (24/1780) x (0.84/0.89)] + [Zn (%) x (28.00*31.1/1780) x (0.79/0.89)]

  • CEL confirms that it is the Company’s opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

About Challenger Exploration

Challenger Exploration Limited’s (ASX: CEL) aspiration is to become a globally significant gold producer. The Company is developing two complementary gold/copper projects in South America. The strategy for the 100% owned Hualilan Gold project is for it to provide a high-grade low capex operation in the near term. This underpins CEL with a low risk, high margin source of cashflow while it prepares for a much larger bulk gold operation at both Hualilan and El Guaybo in Ecuador.

The Company is fully funded for the next 2 years with cash at bank of $45 million and it has committed to a 9-rig 120,000 metre drill program at its Flagship Hualilan Gold project.

  1. Hualilan Gold Project , located in San Juan Province Argentina, is a near term development opportunity. It has extensive historical drilling with over 150 drill-holes and a non-JORC historical resource[(1)] of 627,000 Oz @ 13.7 g/t gold which remains open in most directions. The project was locked up in a dispute for the past 15 years and as a consequence had seen no modern exploration until CEL acquired the project in 2019. In the past 2 years CEL has completed 350 drill holes for more than 75,000 metres of drilling. Results have included 6.1m @ 34.6 g/t Au, 21.9 g/t Ag, 2.9% Zn , 6.7m @ 14.3 g/t Au, 140 g/t Ag, 7.3% Zn and 10.3m @ 10.4 g/t Au, 28 g/t Ag, 4.6% Zn . This drilling intersected high-grade gold over almost 2 kilometres of strike and extended the known mineralisation along strike and at depth in multiple locations. Recent drilling has demonstrated this high-grade skarn mineralisation is underlain by a significant intrusion-hosted gold system with intercepts including 209.0m at 1.0 g/t Au, 1.4 g/t Ag, 0.1% Zn and 110.5m at 2.5 g/t Au, 7.4 g/t Au, 0.90% Zn in intrusives. CEL's current program which is fully funded includes a 120,000 metres of drilling, metallurgical test work of key ore types, and an initial JORC Compliant Resource and PFS.

  2. El Guayabo Gold/Copper Project covers 35 sq kms in southern Ecuador and was last drilled by Newmont Mining in 1995 and 1997 targeting gold in hydrothermal breccias. Historical drilling has demonstrated potential to host significant gold and associated copper and silver mineralisation. Historical drilling has returned a number of intersections including 156m @ 2.6 g/t Au, 9.7 g/t Ag, 0.2% Cu and 112m @ 0.6 % Cu, 0.7 g/t Au, 14.7 g/t Ag which have never been followed up. The Project has multiple targets including breccia hosted mineralisation, an extensive flat lying late-stage vein system and an underlying porphyry system target neither of which has been drill tested. CEL's first results confirm the discovery of large-scale gold system with over 250 metres of bulk gold mineralisation encountered in drill hole ZK-02 which contains a significant high-grade core of 134m at 1.0 g/t gold and 4.1 g/t silver including 63m at 1.6 g/t gold and 5.1 g/t silver.

Criteria

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, facesampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

Commentary

Collar details for diamond core drilling (DD) and reverse circulation (RC) historic drilling campaigns is provided below from archival data cross checked with drill logs and available plans and sections where available. Collars shown below are in WGS84, zone 19s which is the standard projection used by CEL for the Project. Collar locations have been check surveyed using differential GPS (DGPS) by CEL to verify if the site coincides with a marked collar or tagged drill site. In most cases the drill collars coincide with historic drill site, some of which (but not all) are tagged. The collar check surveys were reported in POSGAR (2007) projection and converted to WGS84.

CEL drilling of HQ3 core (triple tube) was done using various truck and track mounted drill machines that are operated by
various Argentinian drilling companies based in Mendoza and San Juan. The core has not been oriented as the rock is
commonly too broken to allow accurate core orientation.
CEL drilling of reverse circulation (RC) drill holes was done using a track-mounted LM650 universal drill rig set up for
reverse circulation drilling. Drilling is being done using a 5.25 inch hammer bit.
Collar details for DD drill holes and RC drill holes completed by CEL are shown below in WGS84, zone 19s projection. Collar
locations for drill holes to GNDD282 are surveyed using DGPS. Collar location from GNDD285 are surveyed with a handheld
GPS to be followed up with DGPS.

RC sub-samples are collected from a rotary splitter mounted to the face sample recovery cyclone. A 2-4 kg sub-samples is
collected for each metre of RC drilling. Duplicate samples are taken at the rate of I every 25-30 samples using a riffle
splitter to split out a 2-4 kg sub-sample. The whole sample recovered is weighed to measure sample recovery and
consistency in sampling.
A possible relationship has been observed between historic sample recovery and Au Ag or Zn grade whereby low
recoveries have resulted in underreporting of grade. Insufficient information is not yet available to more accurately
quantify this. Core recovery is influenced by the intensity of natural fracturing in the rock. A positive correlation between
recovery and RQD has been observed. The fracturing is generally post mineral and not directly associated with the
mineralisation.

Commentary

Repeat sampling of 186 coarse reject samples from 2019 drilling has been done to verify sampling. Original samples were from the 2019 DD drilling which were analysed by MSA (San Juan preparation and Vancouver analysis). Repeat samples were analysed by ALS (Mendoza preparation and Vancouver analysis). The repeat analysis technique was identical to the original. The repeat analyses correlate very closely with the original analyses providing a high confidence in the sample preparation and analysis from MSA and ALS.

Intermittent sampling dating back over 500 years has produced a great deal of information and data including sampling
geologic maps reports trenching data underground workings drill hole results geophysical surveys resource estimates plus
property examinations and detailed studies by several geologists. Prior to the current exploration no work has been
completed since 2006.
There is 6 km of underground workings that pass through mineralised zones. Records of the underground geology and
sampling have been compiled and digitised as are sample data geological mapping trench data adit exposures and drill
hole results. Historic geophysical surveys exist but have largely yet to be check located and digitised.
Drilling on the Hualilan Project (Cerro Sur and Cerro Norte combined) extends to over 150 drill holes. The key historical
exploration drilling and sampling results are listed below.
-
1984 – Lixivia SA channel sampling & 16 RC holes (AG1-AG16) totalling 2040m
-
1995 - Plata Mining Limited (TSE: PMT) 33 RC holes (Hua- 1 to 33) + 1500 samples
-
1998 – Chilean consulting firm EPROM (on behalf of Plata Mining) systematic underground mapping and channel

The mineralisation has previously been classified as a Zn-Cu distal skarn (or manto-style skarn) with vein-hosted Au-Ag
mineralisation. It has been divided into three phases – prograde skarn retrograde skarn and a late quartz–galena event
the evolution of the hydrothermal system and mineral paragenesis is the subject of more detailed geometallurgical work.
Gold occurs in native form and as inclusions with sulphide and pyroxene. The mineralisation also commonly contains
pyrite, chalcopyrite sphalerite and galena with rare arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite and magnetite.
Mineralisation is either parallel to bedding in bedding-parallel faults, in veins or breccia matric within fractured dacitic
intrusions, at lithology contacts or in east-west striking steeply dipping siliceous faults that cross the bedding at a high
angle. The faults have thicknesses of 1–4 m and contain abundant sulphides. The intersection between the bedding-
parallel mineralisation and east-striking cross veins seems to be important in localising the mineralisation.

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.
Weighted average significant intercepts are reported to a gold grade equivalent (AuEq). Results are
reported to cut-off grade of a 1.0 g/t Au equivalent and 10 g/t Au equivalent allowing for up to 2m of
internal dilution between samples above the cut-off grade and 0.2 g/t Au equivalent allowing up to 10m of
internal dilution between samples above the cut-off grade. The following metals and metal prices have
been used to report gold grade equivalent: Au US$ 1780 / oz Ag US$24 /oz and Zn US$ 2800 /t.
Metallurgical recoveries for Au, Ag and Zn have been estimated from metallurgical test work completed by
SGS Metallurgical Operations in Lakefield, Ontario using a combination of gravity and flotation of a
combined metallurgical sample from 5 drill holes. Using data from the test results, and for the purposes of
the AuEq calculation gold recovery is estimated at 89%, silver at 84% and zinc at 79%. Accordingly, the
formula used is AuEq (g/t) = Au (g/t) + [Ag (g/t) x (24/1780) x (0.84/0.89)] + [Zn (%) x (28.00*31.1/1780) x
(0.79/0.89)]. Metallurgical test work and geological and petrographic descriptions suggest all the elements
included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential of eventual economic recovery.
While Cu and Pb are reported in the table above, these metals are not used in the Au equivalent calculation
at this early stage of the Project.
No top cuts have been applied to the reported grades.

- While the testwork was focused predominantly on gold recovery some rougher flotation testwork was
undertaken targeting Zn recovery producing up to 85% recoveries. In sulphide samples this produced a
Zn concentrate containing 42% Zn with grades in excess of 50% Zn in concentrate expected with
additional floatation stages.
- The report concluded that it was possible to produce a commercial Au-Ag concentrate and a Zn
concentrate.
- Extraction of gold and silver by cyanidation was tested on 3/8 and ¾ inch (9.525mm and 19.05mm) crush
sizes that are designed to test a heap leach processing scenario. Bottle roll of these crush size resulted in
41-39% gold recovery and 31-32% silver recovery with high cyanide consumption. No tests have been
done on material at a finer grind size.
More recently, CEL has completed initial metallurgical test work on a 147 kg composite sample of mineralised
limestone drill core from GMDD039, GMDD040, GMDD041, GNDD043, GNDD003 and GNDD018 and a 55 kg

gravity and floatation concentrates. Key results are:
- Combined gravity and floatation concentration process resulted in recoveries 85-95% for Au, 82-87% for
silver and 77-80% for zinc. Cu had similar recoveries to Ag and Pb had similar recoveries to Zn.
- A simple gravity separation followed by a sulfide flotation process when re-combined produced a single
product with a median grade of 47 g/t Au, 120 g/t Ag and 13% Zn with a recovered weight of 24-33% of
the sample weight.
- Tailings fragment analysis indicates a grind of (p80) 72-106m. Generally, a coarser grind resulted in a
higher % weight recovered to the concentrate with a corresponding lower grade without significantly
impacting recovery.
- QEMSCAN analysis of the sample indicates much of the Zn not recovered is due to the presence of Zn
oxide (franklinite) and silicates (hemimorphite).
- Sulphides present are dominated by pyrite and sphalerite. Also present are chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite,
chalcocite, bornite and galena.
- Further test work isplanned.
