ASSAY RESULTS CONFIRM REGIONAL MULTI-TARGET COPPER DISTRICT; AND COMMENCEMENT OF 2023 DIAMOND DRILLING PROGRAM

_________

Highlights:

  • Assay results from regional diamond drilling completed in late 2022 at newly named copper/silver (Cu/Ag) targets, Helios, Interstellar, Luna, Nova and Satellite, has confirmed;

  • Notable Cu/Ag mineralisation in three of the targets, which represent mineralisation in the halo of higher-grade Kalahari Copper Belt ( KCB ) deposits; and

o Anomalous Cu/Ag in two of the targets.

  • The Company is now well funded with ~ $11M i n cash and has commenced its 2023 drill program with two diamond drill rigs currently drilling a 5,000m program at the Ngami Copper Project ( NCP ) in Botswana.

  • On a district scale, recent results from the Kitlanya West ( KITW ) soil sampling program has provided a number of priority areas to commence a 10,000m Aircore ( AC ) drill program which is expected to provide further Cu/Ag targets for diamond drilling.

  • Results provide further confidence in the exploration approach which has been able to effectively identify and prioritise districts within the KCB and rapidly deliver advanced Cu/Ag targets.

Commenting on current results, Chief Executive Officer, Adam Wooldridge, said:

“ The Ngami Copper Project (NCP) continues to produce significant results with several compelling new targets joining the fold. Being able to rapidly identify, assess and progress these targets is key to unlocking the potential in this emerging new district on the northern margin of the KCB.

We have initiated a comprehensive drilling program in Botswana with the goal of fully assessing the district scale copper potential. The next round of drilling at NCP will focus on further developing these targets in order to identify anticipated high-grade zones. In addition, our exploration plans for Kitlanya West include AC drilling of initial soil sampling targets which is expected to commence at the end of March. We look forward to providing further exploration updates as they become available.”

Cobre Limited (ASX: CBE , Cobre or Company ) is pleased to provide an exploration update on the Ngami Copper Project ( NCP ) and KITW projects following a recent technical review of results.

At NCP, several new targets are emerging in close proximity to the 4km strike-length Comet target which has already returned several significant downhole copper intersections including 12.2m @ 2.7% Cueq in drill hole NCP20A and 10.7m @ 1.5% Cueq in NCP08[1] .

A total of nine targets have now been identified from the recently completed soil sampling dataset including Comet. Recent drill results, combined with historical holes, have returned positive intersections in several of the newly tested targets highlighting the success of the exploration methodology. To date, the exploration drill results have demonstrated that three of the five drill tested targets have anomalous copper-silver mineralisation- typical of halos surrounding KCB deposits, providing a significant boost to the regional potential of this emerging district. Importantly, these are early-stage results into large new developing targets with ongoing drilling expected to discover further high-grade zones.

Results are detailed by target in the following subsections and summarised in Figure 1 .

The next phase of work will include a ~ 5,000m diamond drill program designed to:

  1. Continue targeting high-grade copper-silver zones within drill tested targets with proven copper-silver mineralisation; and

  2. Identify anomalous copper-silver mineralisation related to deposit halos in the three untested targets.

Significant Regional Exploration Potential

The drill program at NCP has been designed to intersect sedimentary-hosted, structurally controlled, coppersilver (Cu-Ag) mineralisation associated with the redox contact between oxidised Ngwako Pan Formation red beds and overlying reduced marine sedimentary rocks of the D ’ Kar Formation on the moderate to steeply dipping limbs of a large anticlinal structure which extends across the southern portion of the project area under 50 to 80m of Kalahari Group cover. To date, 33 drill holes, targeted off partial digest low detection limit soil sampling, have intersected the mineralised contact along both limbs of the anticline with almost all of the holes returning anomalous copper intersections for the KCB, demonstrating the prospectivity of the ~80 km of contact associated with the anticline. Results to date are analogous to other portions of the KCB where economic deposits are surrounded by halos of moderate grade copper-silver mineralisation which may extend several kilometers along strike.

Drill-tested Targets:

Comet: The most advanced target in the district with copper-silver mineralisation occurring over a strike length of more than 4km directly above the steep to vertical contact of the Ngwako-Pan and D ’ Kar Formations. Importantly, high-grade zones of mineralisation have been identified in fold-structures above flexures in the contact demonstrating the potential for economic grades of mineralisation. Further diamond drilling will focus on identifying and delineating further zones of high-grade mineralisation expected to occur both laterally and vertically along the target length.

Helios: A recently tested fold target located on the moderately dipping portion of the southern limb of the regional anticline. The first drill hole into the target, NCP29, has intersected 19.2m @ 0.34% Cu and 8 g/t Ag from 187m to 206.15m downhole including 2.3m @ 1.1% Cu & 13 g/t Ag . Follow-up drilling consisting of an initial three diamond holes will target the extension of mineralisation into the hinge zones of the fold target where mineralisation is expected to be upgraded.

Interstellar: Located on a steeply dipping portion of the southern limb of the regional anticline, this target shares several characteristics with Comet. Historical drill hole TRDH14-07 proved the copper potential of this target, intersecting an extensive 25.5m @ 0.37% Cu and 1 g/t Ag from 62m to 87.5m downhole. Drill hole - NCP34 (assays pending) intersected further mineralisation including a higher grade zone of chalcocite mineralisation, demonstrating that mineralisation extends over a large strike extent. Five further diamond holes are planned to test the strike length of this developing target.

Luna: This target is located on a jog on the southern limb of the regional anticlinal structure. Anomalous copper mineralisation was intersected in historical hole TRD14-11, including 12.7m @ 0.44% Cu & 2 g/t Ag, as well as follow-up hole NCP27 which includes 3.8m @ 0.54% Cu & 6 g/t Ag from 152.4 to 156.2m downhole.

==> picture [595 x 134] intentionally omitted <==

Nova: The target is located on a prominent structural intersection along a moderately dipping portion of the northern limb of the regional anticline. The target is also notable for its distinct associated demagnetisation zone. Drill testing identified elevated copper-silver mineralisation in both NCP21 (11m @ 0.23% Cu & 4 g/t Ag from 118m to 129m downhole) and NCP22 (5.6m @ 0.31% Cu & 15 g/t Ag from 144m to 149.6m downhole)

Satellite: Discrete target located 4km to the northeast of Comet on the steeply dipping portion of the northern limb of the regional anticline. Drill testing identified a zone of elevated copper (11.3m @ 0.21% Cu and 3 g/t Ag from 180 to 191,3m downhole) above the Ngwako Pan – D ’ Kar formation contact.

- Priority untested Targets for Future Drill testing

Three additional priority targets have been identified for drill testing based on soil assay results:

Asteroid: Focused target with high Cu and subtle associated Ag anomaly. Based on interpretations of the detailed magnetic data, the target is located near a structural disruption and on the southwestern hinge of a subtle folded feature in the underlying Ngwako Pan Formation which appears to change the orientation of the mineralised contact and may provide a focus for fluid flow.

Meta: Small target with high Cu and Ag response located on the northeastern side of the folded feature in the Ngwako Pan Formation.

Cosmos: Discrete target with high Cu, Ag, Mo and Pb with a distinct associated Zn anomaly in a similar setting to Comet. A single diamond hole is planned to assess each of the three new targets.

Exploration approach

Cobre is following a systematic exploration approach with a view to evaluating several potential copper districts across the Company ’ s extensive license package, prioritising targets in prospective districts, identifying anomalous copper-silver mineralisation in the halo of new deposits, delineating high-grade zones within these anomalous halos and ultimately resource drilling.

District evaluation (Kitlanya West Project, Okavango Copper Project )

Assess Cu potential on a district scale using known deposit models, detailed airborne geophysics, regional soil sampling and aircore drilling, Target generation ( Kitlanya East Project ) Combine geophysical, lithological and structural interpretations, geochemical data to create set of ranked priority targets for drill testing Target testing ( Asteroid, Meta, Cosmos, Nova and Satellite ) Drill test priority targets for evidence of mineralised halo surrounding higher grade deposit (Intersection > 3m% Cu) Target Evaluation Stage 1 ( Interstellar ) Drill test for evidence for higher grade zones within the mineralised halo (Intersections > 1% Cu over 2m) Target Evaluation Stage 2 ( Comet, Helios ) Drill test to delineate high-grade/multiple high-grade zones with economic potential; use combination of structural geology, geochemistry and detailed ground geophysics to assist with vectoring.

Ngami Copper Project (NCP) and Kitlanya West Project background:

The NCP is located near the northern margin of the KCB ( Figure 2 ) and includes significant strike of subcropping Ngwako-Pan / D ’ Kar Formation contact on which the majority of the known deposits in the KCB occur. The Project is located immediately east of KML ’ s Kitlanya West licenses collectively covering a significant portion of prospective KCB stratigraphy. In terms of regional prospectively the greater license package includes:

  • Over 500km of interpreted sub-cropping Ngwako Pan / D’Kar Formation contact which has been divided into 55 prospective targets across the KML licenses with 43 ranked targets located in the KITW and NCP properties;

8

==> picture [595 x 134] intentionally omitted <==

  • Strategic location near the basin margin typically prioritised for sedimentary-hosted copper deposits;

  • Outcropping Kgwebe Formation often considered a key vector for deposits in the northeast of the KCB;

  • Well defined gravity low anomalies indicative of sub-basin architecture or structural thickening (a number of the deposits in the KCB are hosted on the margins of gravity lows);

  • Relatively shallow Kalahari Group cover (between 0m and ~90m thick); and

  • Numerous soil sample anomalies identified on regional sample traverses.

The Company is targeting analogues to the copper deposits in Khoemacau ’ s Zone 5 development ( Figure 2 ) in the north-eastern portion of the KCB. These include Zone 5 (92.1 Mt @ 2.2% Cu and 22 g/t Ag), Zeta NE (29 Mt @ 2.0% Cu and 40 g/t Ag), Zone 5N (25.6 Mt @ 2.2% Cu and 38 g/t Ag) and Mango NE (21.1 Mt @ 1.8% Cu and 21 g/t Ag)[2] .

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.

The information in this release relates to the
technical details from the Company’s exploration
and drilling program Ngami Copper Projects (NCP)
located within the Ngamiland District on the
Kalahari Copper Belt, Republic of Botswana.

Sample results have been received from ALS
laboratories, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Quoted mineralisation is based on visual logging by
geologists on-site with verification done using a
handheld pXRF.

Representative diamond half core samples are
taken from zones of interest. Samples were taken
consistently from the same side of the core cutting
line. Core cutting line is positioned to result in two
splits as mirror images with regards to the
mineralisation, and to preserve the orientation line.
Include
reference
to
measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration
of any measurement tools
or systems used
• Sample representativity was ensured by bisecting
structures of interest, and by the sample
preparation technique in the laboratory.
• The diamond drill core samples were selected
based on geological logging and pXRF results, with
the ideal sampling interval being 1m, whilst
ensuring that sample interval does not cross any
logged significant feature of interest.
• Individual core samples were crushed entirely to
90% less than 2mm, riffle split off 1kg, pulverise
split to better than 85% passing 75 microns (ALS

duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and
whether acceptable levels
of accuracy (i.e. lack of
bias) and precision have
been established.
• Appropriate certified reference material was
inserted on a ratio of 1:20 samples.
• Laboratory coarse crush and pulp duplicate samples
were alternated requested for every 20 samples.
• Blanks were inserted on a ratio of 1:20.
• ALS Laboratories insert their own standards,
duplicates and blanks and follow their own SOP for
quality control.
• Both internal and laboratory QAQC samples are
reviewed for consistency.
• The CRM’s accuracy, precision and control charts is
within acceptable limits for Cu, with two Ag result

• N/A
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.

Drill spacing is currently broad and hole
orientation is aimed at intersecting the bedding of
the host stratigraphy as perpendicular as
practically possible (e.g. within the constraint of
the cover thickness). This is considered
appropriate for the geological setting and for the
known mineralisation styles in the Copperbelt.

==> picture [595 x 133] intentionally omitted <==

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.

Existence, and orientation, of preferentially
mineralised structures is not yet fully understood
but current available data indicates mineralisation
occurs within steep, sub-vertical structures, sub-
parallel to foliation.

No significant sampling bias is therefore expected.
Sample
security
The measures taken to
ensure sample security.
• Sample bags are logged, tagged, double bagged and
sealed in plastic bags, stored at the field office.
• Diamond core is stored in a secure facility at the
field office and then moved to a secure warehouse.
• Sample security includes a chain-of-custody
procedure that consists of filling out sample
submittal forms that are sent to the laboratory with
sample shipments to make certain that all samples
are received by the laboratory. Prepared samples
were transported to the analytical laboratory in
sealed gravel bags that are accompanied by
appropriate paperwork, including the original
sample preparation request numbers and chain-of-
custody forms
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits
or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
• KML’s drill hole sampling procedure is done
according to industry best practice.

• Previous exploration on portions of the NCP
and KITW projects was conducted by BHP.
• BHP collected approximately 125 and 113
soil samples over the KITW and NCP projects
respectively in 1998.
• BHP collected Geotem airborne
electromagnetic data over a small portion of
PL036/2012 and PL342/2016, with a
significant coverage over PL343/2016.

Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.

The regional geological setting underlying
all the Licences is interpreted as
Neoproterozoic meta sediments, deformed
during the Pan African Damara Orogen into
a series of ENE trending structural domes
cut by local structures.

The style of mineralisation expected
comprises strata-bound and structurally
controlled disseminated and vein hosted
Cu/Ag mineralisation.

  • Drill holeA summary of all information 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

  • Summary table of all completed core drill holes on the NCP licenses is presented below. All coordinates are presented in UTM Zone 34S, WGS84 datum. HGPS indicates that the holes were surveyed using a handheld GPS; DGPS indicates that the holes have been re-surveyed with differentially corrected GPS. Drill holes designated TRDH are original holes drilled by Triprop in 2014.

  • dip and azimuth of the hole

  • down hole 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.

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.

Results > 0.2% Cu have been averaged
weighted by downhole lengths, and
exclusive of internal waste to determine a
Cu metre percent average for the holes.

A second result with cutoff > 1% Cu has
been included to highlight higher grade
portions of the drill hole intersections.

No aggregation of intercepts has been
reported

Where copper equivalent have been
calculated it is at current metal prices: 1g/t
Ag = 0.0081% Cu
Data
aggregation
methods
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’).
• Down hole intersection widths are used
throughout.
•The geometry has not been sufficiently
defined by the current drilling
•All measurements state that downhole
lengths have been used, as the true width
has not been suitably established by the
current drilling
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
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.
•Included within the report.

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.
•Results from the previous exploration
programmes are summarised in the target
priorities which are based on an
interpretation of these results.
•The accompanying document is considered
to be a balanced and representative report.
Balanced
reporting
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.
• Nothing relevant at this early stage of
reporting
Other
substantive
exploration
data

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
commercially sensitive.
• Based upon the results announced in this
release further diamond drilling has been
planned.
• The additional drill holes will be placed
within targets shown in the diagrams.
