Classic Minerals limited (ClZ) has completed the latest drilling program at its Alpha copper deposit in the Fraser range, with results identifying significant mineralisation. Eleven rC holes were drilled for a total of 572m, with 10 holes intersecting mineralisation. Analysis has shown significant copper and zinc grades.
Highlights
-
11 RC holes for 572 m, with 10 intersecting mineralisation.
-
Results indicate thick mineralisation at south end of Alpha deposit.
-
Good continuity of mineralisation along strike and dip.
-
Best hole has 16m from 5-21m downhole @ 4113ppm Cu and 1242ppm Zn, including 1m at 1.72%Cu and 7.19ppmAg.
-
Accessory silver to 78.4ppm (2.5 oz) and cobalt to 722ppm.
Managing Director of Classic Minerals, Mr. Justin Doutch, said the latest drilling had brought the company close to the point of defining its maiden JOrC Code resource.
“We will shortly drill two diamond HQ core holes alongside two existing rC holes with major mineralisation to confirm the rC analyses, and to provide density measurement data to enable us to convert volumes to tonnes,” said Mr. Doutch.
“At that stage our resource consultants will be able to define a resource in line with the JOrC Code, and we will have all the data we need to carry out a pre-feasibility study to establish the viability of a shallow open-cut mining operation,” he said.

ASX Announcement 14 April 2015
Mr. Doutch said the latest drill results underlined Classic’s position as the leading explorer in the Fraser range, notching the only two significant finds in the region in the past two years.
He said the new data indicates that Classic’s tenement is situated on the west side at the midpoint of the “gravity corridor” running in virtually a straight line to Sirius resources’ Nova and Bollinger deposits, 60kms to the south-west.
“We are discussing funding options with domestic and international investors to continue exploration with a view to uncover further Massive Sulphide deposits within our mineralised tenement. Our progressive exploration plans will entail mapping and sampling of significant outcrops throughout the tenement, geochemistry including aircore drilling into bedrock in sand covered areas, various advanced Deep search geophysics techniques with drill testing of targets generated.
Mr Doutch believes that this continuing exploration approach has high potential to deliver further massive sulphide deposits whereby shareholder and investor value will grow.
Details of drilling program carried out in February–March, 2015
Following on from previously reported mineralised intercepts at the Alpha Copper Deposit, Classic Minerals limited have now completed a program of 11 shallow rC holes along the predicted outcrop line of the north-plunging and west- dipping mineralised structure. The drill-holes are shown in Figure 1, Drill Hole location. The mineralisation is dominantly pyrrhotite (FeS) with minor chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), sphalerite (ZnFeS), minor silver to 78.4ppm and minor cobalt to 722ppm. There is a good correlation between anomalous copper and zinc values and also elevated silver and cobalt values. Ten of the 11 holes intersected significant sulphide mineralisation, as shown in Table 2 below.
The mineralisation outcrops at the south end as an iron rich rock formed from the weathered sulphides, and this outcrop continues as a low ridge towards the north east. The rC drilling targeted the shallow mineralisation from outcrop down to about 60m depth and for 300m north east along strike, with holes on lines 50m apart. All holes were drilled at -60 degrees declination to 131 degrees from True North, to intersect the mineralisation approximately at right angles to give true thicknesses. The local geology is garnet gneiss with minor intercalations of mafic rock and quartz gneiss, and the foliation of gneiss outcrops is 040 degrees from True North with steep dips. The mineralisation dips west at 20 degrees and cross-cuts this foliation, indicating that the mineralisation is late stage. See Figures 2 and 3 which are 50 metres apart along strike, and show good correlation of mineralisation between sections, as do sections further north east.
This drilling has delineated the shallow mineralisation within this deposit, with anomalous sulphide zones up to 21m thick downhole from surface. See Figure 4 with the FrrC102 drill-hole trace, broad geology and detailed analyses. The mineralisation is mainly pyrrhotite with minor chalcopyrite, and occurs as disseminated, blebby and semi-massive sulphides.
All holes are being picked up accurately via DGpS, and down-hole directional surveys are being undertaken on deeper (>50m) holes. A detailed topographic survey of the deposit area has already been completed.
Two diamond HQ core holes will be drilled as twin holes alongside two existing rC holes with major mineralisation to confirm the rC analyses, and to allow density measurements on the HQ diamond core to be used in converting volumes to tonnes.
The database for the deposit will be updated with the new data, and the completed database passed to resource consultants who will estimate a resource in accordance with the JOrC Code (2012).
part of the core will be used for metallurgical test work to determine how the economic minerals can be separated and concentrated.
The polymetallic nature of the sulphides potentially provides several metal products, including copper, zinc, silver and cobalt.
A prefeasibility study will then be conducted to determine whether a shallow open cut mining operation is economically viable.

Geological Setting
The Fraser range tenement is entirely within the Fraser Zone and also the dense Gravity Corridor, as shown on the attached Figure 5, First Vertical Derivative Gravity image. The Fraser Zone is interpreted by the GSWA (record 2011/23) as “a structurally modified, mid to deep crustal ‘hot zone’, formed by the repeated intrusion of gabbroic magma into quartzofeldspathic country rock.” The gabbro intrusions may have associated sulphide mineralisation as at Sirius resources Nova-Bollinger Ni Cu deposit, and at the Mammoth Ni Cu deposit on the Classic tenement. See Figure 6 for the geological setting of the tenement. The Alpha copper deposit appears to be related to a later intrusion within a shear, rather than a deposit within a gabbro intrusion.
Deep thrust faults from the east have been interpreted by the GSWA following a deep seismic survey, with one line only 50km north of the Classic tenement. These types of deep seated structures can act as pathways for mineralisation from depth, which may be unrelated to the gabbroic intrusions.

Data points were located by GpS. Expected accuracy • is +/- 5m for northing and easting. No elevation values were taken, as these will be done shortly with DGpS in AHD, with northing and easting accurate to 50cm. The grid system is GDA94(MGA), zone 51 • Topographic control is by DGpS pick up of earlier hole • collars plus extra data points around perimeter of target. Accuracy50cm. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration results. • Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufcient • to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral resource and Ore reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifcations applied. Whether sample compositinghas been applied. • |
50m and 25m line spacings, with holes mostly 50m and • some 25m along lines.. The cross sections as shown in the text demonstrate • good continuity over 50m and up to 400m. Sample compositing was used in unmineralised zones, • with equal volume samples taken from each 1/8 split and combined. |

| 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 drilling is approximately at right angles to dip • of mineralisation, and approximates true thickness intercepts. |
| Sample security | The measures taken to ensure sample security. • |
All samples have been collected in the feld by staf or • consultants and daily placed in clearly labelled bags of ten samples, and delivered to the lab on shrink wrapped pallets. lab check of samples received on arrival. |
| Audits or reviews | The results of any audits or reviews of sampling • techniques and data. |
No audits or reviews have been carried out at this stage • |

| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership • including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting • along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The rC drilling is located wholly within Exploration • licence E28/1904, which is 100% owned by Classic Minerals limited. Northern part of tenement is within long proposed nature reserve. The tenement is in good standing and no known • impediments exist. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other • parties. |
Calcrete sampling and aircore drilling of anomalies • have been undertaken by other Companies within the licence area |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of • mineralisation. |
Geological setting is in Fraser Zone of the Albany • Fraser Mobile Belt consisting of gneiss, mafc rocks including gabbro with signifcant garnet in the metamorphic rocks. This deposit is a late stage mineralised event which crosscuts the regional metamorphic foliation. The Company is also exploring for magmatic hosted • base metal mineralization. |
| Drill hole information | A summary of all information material to the • understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: easting and northing of the drill hole collar » elevation or rl (reduced level – elevation above » sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole » down hole length and interception depth » hole length » if the exclusion of this information is justifed 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 whythis is the case. |
All information is presented in Table 1 except elevation • which is not yet available. |

| Data aggregation methods |
in reporting Exploration results, weighting averaging • techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-of 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 clearlystated. |
No weighting or cutting of high grades has been done. • Aggregate results are simple averages of 1m analyses. • |
| 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 efect(eg‘down hole length,true width not known’). |
The geometry of the mineralisation is approximately • at right angles to the holes, and approximates true thicknesses. |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and • tabulations of intercepts should be included for any signifcant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Figure 1. Shows a plan view of the rC holes, as well as • two cross sections and a detailed analyses of one hole. |
| 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 signifcant exploration results are reported in Table • 2. |
| 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. |
previous ASX releases by Classic Minerals limited have • detailed aspects of previous work undertaken within the licence area. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests • for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of • possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commerciallysensitive. |
The further exploration, including infll drilling to 25m • x 25m grid and defning the western fault? boundary to establish the true size and nature of the mineralisation, This should allow a resource to be estimated in accordance with the JOrC code. refer to SAMEM diagrams in previous report, with • conductors 1km alongstrike NE and SW. |
