Highlights:

  • Visual sulphide intercepts at A17 twin conductor target

  • Verifies continued mineralised horizon south west from Mammoth

  • New Ground EM Survey Commences on 6km conductive target Hot Zone and EYE structure.

Summary

Classic Minerals (ASX:CLZ) has started to confirm the continuity of mineralisation along its 6km conductive target zone intercepting visual sulphides from drilling at a twin conductor target 1km to the south west of Mammoth.

Mineralisation has been intercepted from eight holes drilled at target A17, targeting twin conductors running parallel over 700m that had been interpreted from earlier VTEM work.

Visual sulphides have been recorded from drilling extending along strike and at depth, with anomalous copper and zinc values

As foreshadowed, a new ground EM programme has also commenced today.

The programme will use a deep search, Sub Audio Magnetics Fixed loop EM survey (SAM-FLEM) which uses high powered EM transmitter technology. Sirius Resources NL reported a trial of this system which has confirmed that it can detect the Bollinger deposit (which was invisible to conventional EM) at 450 metres.

“We are driving hard, through a systematic exploration programme, towards the next important discovery along our Fraser range tenement,” said Classic Minerals Managing Director Justin Doutch.

“These first few holes into A17 have confirmed iron zinc copper sulphide mineralisation in both the conductors and it is our view that Mammoth is therefore not an isolated nickel copper sulphide discovery but part of a bigger potential system such as the clusters of sulphide deposits in Canada and Russia”.

“By undertaking the SAM survey programme we will be able to detect sulphide deposits at a far greater depth than we have been able to achieve so far, which may provide deeper conductor targets for the next programme of drilling.”

The A17 twin conductor target is one of ten EM and TMI targets identified along a 6km conductive target zone running south west from Mammoth. A17 lies 1km to the south west of Mammoth. An initial exploratory RC hole in August 2013 missed the target and a subsequent review earlier this year refined the conductor position whilst identifying a second parallel conductor.

The SAM survey will initially be undertaken on a portion of the 6km conductive target zone and also around the EyE structure on the southern end of Classic’s Fraser range tenement.

About Sub-Audio Magnetics (SAM) Fixed Loop EM surveys

SAM is a unique survey system developed and operated by Gap Geophysics Australia Pty Ltd. SAM allows continuous data acquisition, efficiently delivering high spatial resolution magnetic and EM data. When combined with Gap’s high powered EM transmitters, it is capable of achieving greater exploration depths than conventional EM technologies. A recent trial over the Forrestania EM Test Range in WA indicated SAM-FLEM’s ability to detect major conductors at depths well in excess of 400m.

Sirius Resources recently announced successful trials of Gap’s high powered EM systems over the Nova-Bollinger deposit.

Eye Structure

The Eye structure was delineated by aeromagnetics, and has a large aeromagnetic anomaly in the centre, and this was shown to be a large gabbro intrusion when drilled. A significant copper zinc geochemical anomaly occurs on the northeast side of Classic Minerals Eye structure. The nickel copper mineralisation at Nova deposit is adjacent to a large gabbro intrusion within an Eye structure.

Any significant deep EM conductors will be followed up with surface geochemistry to test for anomalous mineral values at surface, and EM conductors with coincident geochemical anomalies will be drill tested.

Note: FRRC079 results have not been received.

The analysis results from A17 show that this mineralisation, dominantly pyrrhotite/pyrite with minor zinc and copper, but only background levels of Ni, is more similar to Alpha Cu Zn deposit than Mammoth Ni Cu deposit. The presence of significant amounts of mixed sulphides shows that there was sufficient sulphur available in host rocks to combine with metal elements in the magma to form sulphides. This is encouraging, as other metal enriched magma flowing up channelways from below through these host rocks in this favourable horizon, would have sufficient sulphur available to create sulphides. There is potential for other sulphide deposits to have formed along this Hot Zone, and if the Ni Cu Zn Co content of the associated magma was higher, then higher grade deposits could have formed.

Classic Minerals (ASX: CLZ) is a Perthbased mineral exploration Company focused on advancing its Fraser Range project E28/1904, in Western Australia. The Fraser Range Project is approximately 40km northeast of Sirius Resources’ NL (ASX: SIR) Nova and Bollinger nickel-copper discoveries, and has historic nickel-copper-zinc soil anomalies.

ASX Announcement 1 MAy 2014

Background to Classic’s Exploration Success on the Fraser Range Projects

Classic listed on the ASX in May 2013. After flying VTEM over the whole tenement in June it identified 18 conductors across the tenement. Three rounds of RC drilling have subsequently been completed since August 2013, with each delivering increasing exploration success which has seen the business accelerate the pace of its original planned exploration.

Stage 1 drilling returned an excellent copper intersection at the A2 conductor, with the first hole of the program discovering an intersection of 1.95% Cu over 1m.

comPetent PeRSonS StAtement

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Mr Sheldon Coates, who is a Member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Sheldon Coates is employed by Iron Resources Pty Ltd who is a consultant to Classic Minerals Ltd. Mr Sheldon Coates has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Mr Sheldon Coates is a shareholder in Classic Minerals and consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Stage 2 drilling in October subsequently drill tested A2 now called Alpha Copper Deposit to identify a mineralized zone over 200m long and over 60m wide with drilling intersecting up to 20% sulphides in some samples with zones up to 12m thick. Drilling 3km to the north east at Mammoth also delivered an intercept of a 16m thick anomalous nickel zone in FRRC018.

Stage 3 drilling in December resulted in the discovery of a large new nickel-copper mineralized horizon close to surface at Mammoth, with strong, visible sulphides in holes up to 23m thick and best intercepts including a two metre wide sulphide intercept of 1.0% Ni from just 106m in FRRC040. This was the deepest intersection to date at Mammoth. RC drilling to date has stepped out over 160m along strike with all holes returning visible sulphides.

Stage 4 drilling in the first quarter of 2014 has subsequently extended the Mammoth Ni Cu deposit to 240m long and Alpha copper deposit to 400m long, and a subsequent strategic programme review has further highlighted a total of 10 priority targets within a 6km conductive target zone running south west from Mammoth.

metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.
All reported assays are a result of 1/8th

sample of 1 meter in mineralised zones or
5 meter composite samples aggregated
as equal volume from the individual 1/8th
samples in non mineralised zone . No top-
cuts or cutofs have been applied.
Higher grade nickel and copper intervals

internal to broader zones of nickel and
copper are reported as included intervals.
No use of metal equivalents has been used

in this report.
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 primary mineralization

is variable, and intercepts are of holes
drilled at -60 dip. These are not true
thicknesses.
Downhole lengths only are reported. These

are not true widths.
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.
Refer to plan fgure in the body of text.

Cross-sections previously published.
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 results are reported.

Background levels for Ni are below

200ppm, below 200ppm for Cu, and below
50ppm for Cobalt.
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.
Several drillholes across the tenement have

intersected groundwater which is brackish,
with TDS up to 11000ppm.
Downhole EM has been used to determine

the orientation of the EM conductors, and if
the EM conductor has been intersected,
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.
At this stage, mineralisation at Mammoth

and Alpha deposits is only broadly
understood and requires further DHEM
and ground EM surveys, as well as step
out RC drilling down to 200m depth of
mineralisation then deeper core drilling will
be undertaken to extend the deposits at
depth
