ASX Code: COD

Coda to Drill Highly Prospective IOCG Targets at Elizabeth Creek

Highlights

  • IOCG drilling at Elizabeth Creek to commence in Q2 2021.

  • The drill programme will commence at Emmie Bluff Deeps, 16 km from BHP’s Oak Dam West and

  • immediately adjacent to current drilling at Coda’s sediment hosted Emmie Bluff prospect.

  • Priority targets at Emmie Bluff Deeps and Elaine will test for Prominent Hill type IOCG style

  • mineralisation.

  • Approvals have been submitted, dates for heritage surveys locked in for February 2021.

Coda Minerals Limited (ASX:COD, “Coda” or “the Company”) is planning to drill test Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) targets at its Elizabeth Creek project. In this update, Coda presents its proposed programme of work.

IOCG Prospectivity at Elizabeth Creek

Elizabeth Creek is considered to be highly prospective for IOCG deposits. Based upon the results of an extended targeting exercise resulting in the identification of multiple areas of high IOCG prospectivity, Coda has prioritised two of its highly prospective IOCG targets for drill testing in Q2 2021.

Background on IOCG Mineralisation

Some of the largest and most economically significant mineral deposits in Australia fall into the category of Iron Oxide Copper Gold, or IOCG. These deposits are characterised by elevated copper and gold, and a significant iron oxide (both haematite and magnetite) component in the gangue, typically deposited in breccias located within the basement complex. Elizabeth Creek is located in the Eastern Gawler Craton of South Australia highly proximal to world-class IOCG discoveries including Olympic Dam, Carrapateena, and Oak Dam West. IOCG discoveries in the Eastern Gawler are often characterised by their large scale, depth and valuable coproducts.

This programme will be the first drill programme by Coda targeting IOCG mineralisation at Elizabeth Creek.

In a separate diamond drilling campaign, Coda is presently targeting shallower Zambian style coppercobalt mineralisation at Emmie Bluff. Assays have now been received from the laboratory, an update on drill results will be released imminently. Indicated Mineral Resources have previously been announced for the MG14 and Windabout copper-cobalt deposits[1] .

Emmie Bluff Deeps IOCG Target

The Emmie Bluff Deeps IOCG target is defined by a series of coincident and semi-coincident gravity and magnetic anomalies in the north west of Coda’s tenure, immediately adjacent to its Zambian-style, sediment-hosted Cu-Co prospect at Emmie Bluff, and approximately 16km SSW from BHP’s recent discovery at Oak Dam West.

==> picture [499 x 330] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1 High Pass filtered regional gravity data showing the Emmie Bluff Deeps prospect and the Oak Dam West prospect, held by BHP.

A large IOCG-style mineralised and altered system, hosted by brecciated metasediments in the basement rocks, was identified by historical drilling undertaken by Mt Isa Mines and Noranda in the 1990s. Evidence for the system includes large intersections of copper mineralisation (examples including 104 m @ 0.27% Cu in historic hole SAE 6, extensive brecciation and magnetite and haematite alteration (including bands of steely haematite up to several metres thick).

Coda’s planned drillhole will test an area of coincident high gravity anomalism and low magnetic anomalism, seeking a copper and haematite rich but magnetite poor core of a broader IOCG system. The geophysical signature is most consistent with that of the Prominent Hill copper-gold-uranium deposit currently being mined by Oz Minerals. It is also consistent with, to varying degrees, to geophysical signatures of other large IOCG mineralised systems in the Olympic Domain/Eastern Gawler Craton, including that of the Olympic Dam deposit, which hosts Australia’s largest underground mine.

Figure 2 Mineralised drill core from historic drillhole SAE 4, from the South Australian Government’s SARIG portal. This section shows mineralised quartzite with extensive haematitie and sulphidic alteration, with an approimate average rade of 1% Cu and 0.28 g/t Au based on historic assays. SAE 4 is located approximately 900m northeast of Coda’s proposed drillhole at Emie Bluff Deeps and tested the northeastern fringe of the same gravity anomaly.

This vertical diamond drill hole is planned to be approximately 1,200m deep. It will be collared approximately 1.5km WSW of the shallower drilling currently exploring for sediment hosted copper at Coda’s Emmie Bluff Exploration Target[2] . The drillhole is also located 500m west of historic hole MGD 55, which encountered zones of economic copper-gold mineralisation, with a best reported intersection of 7m @ 2.17% Cu and 0.47 g/t Au from 974m. Coda interprets the mineralisation in these intersections as related to fault structures carrying mineralising fluids from a high-grade core, which the proposed hole is designed to test.

2 46 – 77 MT @ 0.5 – 2.3 per cent CuEq. The Company notes that the potential grade and tonnage is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Previous drilling at this gravity high has focussed on areas of strong magnetic response, which may represent a hotter, less prospective part of the IOCG system.

Elaine IOCG Target

The Elaine IOCG prospect (centred approximately 42km southeast of Woomera), is characterised by a broad, triangular gravity high, and several coincident, discrete NE/SW trending circular/oval shaped magnetic highs. These geophysical anomalies are located immediately east of a large NE/SW trending fault identifiable in gravity data which may have served as a lithospheric scale fluid pathway for copper-gold mineralisation.

Historical deep IOCG drilling at Elaine focussed on areas of coincident magnetic and gravity anomalism. First drilled to depth in 1980, and followed up in 1981/82 and 2000/01, drilling has consistently encountered copper-gold mineralised metavolcanics and strong IOCG-style alteration, including chlorite, epidote, magnetite, and pyrite. “Red rock alteration,” the result of the intense hematitisation typical of IOCG mineralised systems, is pervasive and often intense, and accompanied by varying degrees of brecciation, which aids the mineralising process

Coda interprets the Elaine IOCG prospect as a large scale hydrothermal system within which copper has preferentially deposited in areas where temperature and oxidising conditions promoted the formation of haematite rather than magnetite. A second drillhole has been planned to test the Elaine IOCG target immediately following the completion of work at Emmie Bluff Deeps drillhole. This hole is also anticipated to be approximately 1,200m deep and will be collared approximately 1km south of historic hole PY 3, which encountered elevated copper and extensive IOCG-style alteration 1,036 – 1,232m.

Coda is currently seeking support from the South Australian Government’s Accelerated Discovery Initiative for the proposed Elaine drillhole[3] .

Coda’s proposed IOCG exploration drill hole is shown by a yellow star.

3 Drilling at Elaine will be undertaken if Coda is successful in receiving the Accelerated Discovery Initiative (ADI) grant, but the grant is not necessarily required for drilling to take place. Coda’s board will make a final decision regarding the Elaine drill hole following confirmation of the status of the grant (due to be announced on 1[st] of April 2021).

Figure 6 Drill core from historic drillhole PY 3, approximately 1km north of Coda’s proposed hole at Elaine. Core consists of extensively altered Gawler Range Volcanics with chlorite and intense K feldspathisation, with extensive pyrite and minor chalcopyrite. Magnetite alteration was present higher up the hole, but is absent in areas with highest logged Cu grades (up to 0.93% Cu from 1,204-1,205m) supporting a possible haematite/chalcopyrite association.

Anticipated Timeline

Coda has submitted an EPEPR and is awaiting approval from the South Australian government to commence drilling. A heritage survey with the local traditional owners, the Kokatha people, will be undertaken in late February as part of this process. Assuming approvals are provided, drilling is expected to commence at Emmie Bluff Deeps in late April to early May 2021, with both holes completed before the end of Q2 2021.
