Final Assays from IOCG Drilling Confirm Target Areas for Follow Up

Highlights

  • Final assays have been received from successful Phase 1 Drill Programme at Emmie IOCG Prospect.

  • Results of the phase 1 drill programme have significantly enhanced the Company’s understanding of the geological structure and controls on mineralisation.

  • Three major conduits identified, including two geochemically and geologically distinct bornite zones, with the results also demonstrating lateral continuity of the deposit with classic IOCG sulphide zonation beyond these zones.

  • Coda will now follow-up these results with advanced geophysical surveys to locate additional structures to provide further thickness and scale to the Emmie IOCG geological model.

  • Fleet Space Technologies appointed to deploy ExoSphere, a satellite-connected, real-time ANT (Ambient Noise Tomography) seismic survey, which will cover both Emmie Bluff and the deeper IOCG mineralisation at Emmie IOCG.

Coda Minerals Limited (ASX:COD, “Coda” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that final assays from Phase 1 drilling at the Emmie IOCG prospect, part of the Elizabeth Creek Project in South Australia, have been received, with results significantly enhancing the Company’s understanding of the geological structure and providing strong targets for followup exploration.

Assays have now been received for drillholes EBD7W1 and EBD8 at Emmie IOCG, which represent the final holes of the Phase 1 programme.

The programme was completed safely, on time and on budget, with nine parent holes and 12 wedges completed. All but three of the holes returned mineralised intercepts, as confirmed by independent laboratory assay.

The programme, which comprised over 23,000m of diamond drilling, identified three major conduits at Emmie IOCG, including two geochemically and geologically distinct bornite zones, and also demonstrated lateral continuity of the deposit with classic IOCG sulphide zonation beyond these zones.

Assay results clearly demonstrate significant thicknesses at excellent grades, with highlights including 42m at 1.2% Cu and 27m at 2.0% Cu for a total 69m of mineralisation in hole EBD3W2[1] , as well as 24m at 2.2% Cu and 12.9m @ 3.5% Cu for a total of 36.9m of mineralisation in 18W2[2] .

Next Steps and Exploration Implications

The updated geological model provides Coda with three key opportunities to target additional mineralisation:

  1. Extension of bornite zone and associated mineralisation along strike at the three known major conduits;

  2. Discovery of additional conduits and mineralised zones in areas where they have been inferred or within the bounds of the Emmie IOCG geophysical signature (which covers approximately 3 square kilometres); and

  3. Additional discoveries through the examination of nearby gravity anomalies within the broader Emmie Bluff mineralised footprint, which extends several kilometres in multiple directions.

NB: For detailed technical geological information and interpretation, please see Appendix A and Appendix 1.

Deployment of Advanced Geophysics

The next step in Coda’s phased exploration approach at Emmie IOCG will be the deployment of Fleet Space Technologies’ “ExoSphere” – an Acoustic Noise Tomography (ANT) survey – which is scheduled to take place in December 2022.

ExoSphere is a real-time ANT passive seismic exploration technique that makes use of pervasive seismic noise from natural and anthropogenic sources to visualise a three-dimensional subsurface shear wave velocity model. ANT offers the advantages of covering a large area, is able to visualise below cover of more than 1000m and can indicate the depth of structures within the cover and basement rock. The initial survey is expected to cover an area of roughly 40 square kilometres across Emmie Bluff, Emmie IOCG and numerous other prospective density related anomalies in the immediate area.

The survey will produce an image of the paleotopographic surface, allowing for detailed 3D constrained forward modelling of magnetic and gravity data, as well as providing indications of velocity anomalies which may indicate the presence of material iron oxide deposition. Such an understanding of the geometries may provide a more detailed understanding of major horst and graben structures as well as potentially indicating the presence of any large-scale conduits not yet identified by drilling.

The survey is also expected to isolate in detail the extent and gross geometry of any Tapley Hill shale in the area, offering the potential to expand the shallower Zambian-style Cu-Co-Ag mineralisation at Coda’s Emmie Bluff Mineral Resource.

The survey data is expected to be collected in December and fully processed and interpreted early in CY2023, enabling the Company to plan next steps, including further drilling or geophysics, with the maximum potential for success.

Figure 2 Ambient Noise Tomography Survey results undertaken for IOCG exploration in the Gawler Craton by Oz Minerals as part of the Accelerated Discovery Initiative in 2021.[3] Primary aims of the survey at Emmie IOCG will be the direct imaging of palaeosurface to assist in detailed 3D gravity inversion and forward modelling, detection and delineation of velocity anomalies in the subsurface to correlate with the presence of iron oxides, and the delineation of associated sub surface structures potentially associated with major mineralising conduits.

Commenting on the Company’s evolving understanding of the Emmie IOCG Prospect, Coda Minerals CEO Chris Stevens said:

“Even among a group of deposits as eclectic as the Eastern Gawler IOCGs, Emmie IOCG stands out as something unique. While clearly a member of the Eastern Gawler family, it exhibits significant differences to the other IOCGs in the region – both the famous deposits that surround it such as Carrapateena, Olympic Dam and Oak Dam West, as well as some of the lesser-known deposits that have not yet progressed beyond exploration stage.

“The work that Coda has completed to date clearly demonstrates that a significant copper and gold system exists at Emmie IOCG that represents an outstanding exploration target. All results so far suggest that Emmie IOCG was created by a near identical hydrothermal fluid as its more famous Eastern Gawler cousins, with the key difference seeming to be that it was

emplaced at a lower pressure that was insufficient to fracture the rocks and create the hydrothermal breccias that are so typical of the better-known Eastern Gawler deposits.

“It is plausible that these pre-existing fractures acted like a local pressure release valve, allowing the fluid to flow before it built up excessive pressure, but the conduits discovered to date seem insufficient to explain the scale of the mineralised footprint.

“Coda’s own drilling indicates the presence of a mineralised corridor of at least a kilometre long and half a kilometre wide, with historical drilling suggesting the mineralised system could potentially extend up to 3km from the discovery hole. This implies the presence of a much larger plumbing system, which we’re only just beginning to understand.

“Although work to date is still at a very early stage, we’re gaining an increasing understanding of the geology and structure of mineralisation at Emmie IOCG, and we remain strongly optimistic about its exploration potential. The upcoming ANT survey will target new conduits and any associated mineralisation at Emmie IOCG, while also providing a fresh and detailed look at the numerous other geophysical targets in the immediate area.”

Assay Results

Assay results confirm the mineralisation within hole 7W1 was comparable to that encountered in the parent hole, in that it was particularly low in gold as compared to similarly mineralised zones in other part of the system. However, 7W1 did intersect a significant interval of hydrothermal conduit from 772.5m to 787m, which showed material gold anomalism (ranging from 0.1 to 0.28ppm Au, with an average of 0.18) despite being copper and silver poor.

While this appears suggestive of a multi-generational fluid flow event that saw the deposition of gold and copper at different times, the intimate relationship between bornite and electrum noted by petrological examination of previous holes may suggest the need for an alternative explanation. This supports the Company’s previously disclosed interpretation that the mineralisation at holes EBD7 and EBD7W1 represents a geologically distinct “zone” and suggests considerable internal complexity within the system as a whole.

Drillhole EBD8 was collared approximately 170m south-east of historical hole SAE 4, and was drilled to the west-southwest, targeting a south-westerly extension of the mineralisation encountered in SAE 4 (74m at an average of approximately 0.55% Cu, 0.14 g/t Au from 858m). Grades encountered were of a comparable tenor to SAE 4, but lacked the consistency, with a gap of unmineralised material between 845m and 873m associated with the overprinting of (presumed) post-mineralising mafic dykes. It is entirely plausible that prior to the intrusion of the dykes, the mineralisation continued from SAE 4, and thus may have been broadly comparable in thickness and grade between the two holes.

Only minor conduits were logged in EBD 8 and, like in EBD7W1, they are associated with gold enrichment, with gold averaging 0.37g/t from 843 to 845m and 0.47g/t from 879 to 880 (both zones are logged as discordant haematite and interpreted as minor feeder zones). These contrast with the thicker zones at 7W1 and in earlier drilling and are not considered likely to be of sufficient scale to be driving mineralisation of the type and tenor seen in SAE 4 and EBD8. It is therefore considered likely that the driving conduit exists to the east of SAE 4. This area will be a focus for future exploration.

Appendix A: Emmie IOCG Geological Interpretation

Following the original discovery intercept of 28m at 1.2% Cu in drillhole DD21EB0018[4] , Coda accelerated drilling on the basis of its original hypothesis that the deposit might resemble an “Inverted Witches Hat”, with a narrow apron of mineralisation surrounding a traditional IOCG breccia pipe which is commonly, but not always a key feature of major IOCG deposits. Over time, and with the first round of drilling now materially complete, Coda has adjusted (and is still evolving) its model of the broad geometry and structure of the deposit as a whole.

Based on the Company’s current understanding, Emmie IOCG can be described thus[5] :

  • Mineralisation occurred in stages, with an initial pulse of iron-rich fluid moving up multiple large-scale fractures (conduits) formed during a thrusting event.

  • This same thrusting event would later seal these fractures, and subsequent pulses (increasingly copper and gold rich) of low-pressure weakly acidic fluid would be forced into sub-horizontal permeable layers of sediment around the conduits.

  • As the fluid seeped through the sediments it formed stacked, sub-horizontal tabular mineralised lodes emanating out from the steeply dipping fractures. These lodes exhibited classic IOCG sulphide zonation, with the highest-grade zones dominated by bornite and chalcocite, gradually decreasing in grade with distance from the conduit, passing through a chalcopyrite zone and ultimately to unmineralised pyrite.

  • These lodes would later be broken up vertically by Horst and Graben faulting, resulting in variation of depth to mineralised lodes between holes.

Prior to mineralisation, an episode of thrusting resulted in the emplacement of multiple blocks of Donnington granite, up to 150m thick, into younger Wallaroo group sediments. The contact between the two units shows remarkably limited evidence for shearing or ductile deformation given the scale of the thrust event.

Simultaneous with the thrusting event and likely related to it, a number of sub-vertical fractures were forming which would ultimately serve as conduits for the transfer of iron and copper rich fluids from the mantle into the crust. Mineralisation is assumed to have happened as multiple pulses at or around 1,590 GA similar to other large IOCG deposits on the Gawler craton, but the Company has yet to confirm this through monazite dating.

Copper and iron-rich fluids appear to have emplaced at relatively low pressures, resulting in the absence of large-scale hydrothermal haematite breccias which often typify these kinds of deposits in the region. Early iron-rich/copper-poor fluid pulses appear to have been able to penetrate the emplaced Donnington suite thrust slices, but later, after ongoing movement of those thrust slices created an effective barrier across conduit structures, more copper-rich pulses saw fluids move preferentially through permeable strata within the surrounding gently-dipping Wallaroo Group sediments resulting in the relatively flat lying stratabound mineralisation that is seen at Emmie Bluff. A sequence of steeply-dipping to sub-vertical horst and graben faults also appear to have occurred post-mineralisation, resulting in the uneven vertical distribution of the mineralisation between drillholes.

Proximity to these conduits, which express within the core as sooty dark haematite lacking the typical altered sedimentary texture seen in other parts of the sequence, appears to be the principal factor driving high grades, though the conduits themselves are often not strongly mineralised.

The second key approach will be the exploration for additional conduits via geophysics and further drilling . Evidence from
petrology and geochemistry, particularly in and around EBD7 and EBD7W1 shows that multiple pulses of variably iron, copper
and gold rich fluids were emplaced through various conduits however despite this the company does not believe that the
conduits encountered to date are of sufficient scale to explain the emplacement of all of the iron oxides encountered above
and below the thrust sheet. This is particularly true given that similar large-scale emplacement of metal has occurred nearly
three km to the northeast in drillholes IHAD 2 and IHAD 5, and even the more local gravity anomaly associated with the
mineralisation covers an area of approximately 3 square kilometres Conduit II D

Exploration Implications

This interpretation suggests several approaches for future exploration and expansion of the mineralisation. First and most basic is the extension of known conduits associated with the highest-grade material. At least three major mineralising conduits have been identified in the drilling:

  • The largest, westernmost conduit (Conduit I ) driving the mineralisation in drillholes 18, 18W1, 18W2, 3W2 and 3W3. Extension of this conduit to the northwest and south is considered highly plausible and will be a focus for future exploration;

  • The conduit identified in drillhole EBD2W4 (Conduit II ) which appears to be driving that mineralisation independent of parent hole EBD2, which again has potential to extend both north and south; and

  • The conduit most recently identified in drillhole EBD7 (Conduit III ) which appears to be driving a geochemically distinct copper-rich/gold-poor mineralised zone to the south-east of the majority of the drilling to date

Figure 7 Section C – D. Note the significant palaeosurface elevation over the mineralised portions of EBD3W2 as a result of greater resistance of haematite altered sediments. This palaeotopographic high will be a target for further exploration in the broader Emmie IOCG prospect area.

The second key approach will be exploration for additional conduits via geophysics and further drilling. Evidence from petrology and geochemistry, particularly in and around EBD7 and EBD7W1 shows that multiple pulses of variably iron, copper and gold-rich fluids were emplaced through various conduits, however despite this, the Company does not believe that the conduits encountered to date are of sufficient scale to explain the emplacement of all of the iron oxides encountered above and below the thrust sheet. This is particularly true given that similar large-scale emplacement of metal has occurred nearly 3km to the northeast in drillholes IHAD 2 and IHAD 5, and the local gravity anomaly associated with the mineralisation covers an area of approximately 3km[2] .

Evidence from the recently completed drillhole EBD8 and historical hole SAE 4 suggest the potential for a major conduit located to the east of SAE 4, while other evidence suggests the presences of a major, possibly pre mineralising structural break to the west of historical holes MGD 55 and SAE 3, which may also have served as a hydrothermal conduit. Additional conduits to the east of known drilling remain entirely plausible, but have no drill data to indicate their presence or absence at this time.

Figure 8 Section A – B, passing through some of the most strongly mineralised parts of the prospect. Note the two major conduits: these are the above described Conduit I (west) and Conduit II (east). A possible conduit is inferred at the major structure between drillholes SAE3 and DD21EBD0002W4.

Finally, the company will move beyond the immediate area around the recent Emmie IOCG drilling and consider the other geophysical anomalies in the immediate area of Emmie IOCG. The conditions which are interpreted as having created the mineralisation at Emmie IOCG (Specifically, the presence of a Donington suite granite thrust sheet to serve as a cap on upward fluid mobility, permeable Wallaroo group sediments and conduits) are all directly seen or implied in nearby historical holes such as IHAD 2, IHAD 5 and SAE 6, and extensive haematite alteration is known from numerous holes in the area. All of this suggests that the mineralisation at Emmie IOCG is not necessarily unique, and the potential for similar or superior mineralisation exists in the immediate surrounds.

Sample intervals were defined by field geologists based on portable XRF results
and detailed geological logging.
Core was cut on site with a brick saw operated by Coda employees. The same
side of the cut core was consistently sampled, with individual intervals placed
in sequentially numbered calico bags for dispatch to Bureau Veritas in
Adelaide.
The results reported in this release relate solely to the portions of drill holes
DD21EBD0007W1 and DD22EBD0008 that were preferentially sampled and
fast-tracked to assay. A total of 97 samples were submitted, including field
duplicates (4), standards (9), which were inserted at a 1:10 and a 1:20 ratio
respectively, and blanks (2) inserted at the field geologists discretion, leaving a
total of 82 samples.
Core was cut on a sample-by-sample basis according to need in the following
manner:
o
Where a field duplicate was notrequired:½ core for assay, ½ core for
retention by Coda onsite for future review.
o
Where a field duplicatewasrequired:¼ core for assay, ¼ core for
duplicate assay, ½ core retention by Coda on site for future review.
Samples varied in length from 0.6m to 2.15m, with an average of 1.46m per
sample.
Field duplicates were taken based on sample numbers ensuring random
selection of mineralised and unmineralised material. Replicability across key
elements was good, except in high grade material, where variability is
attributable to irregular distribution of sulphides.

Core was cut on site with a brick saw operated by Coda employees. The same
side of the cut core was consistently sampled, with individual intervals placed
in sequentially numbered calico bags for dispatch to Bureau Veritas in
Adelaide.
The results reported in this release relate solely to the portions of drill holes
DD21EBD0007W1 and DD22EBD0008 that were preferentially sampled and
fast-tracked to assay. A total of 97 samples were submitted, including field
duplicates (4), standards (9), which were inserted at a 1:10 and a 1:20 ratio
respectively, and blanks (2) inserted at the field geologists discretion, leaving a
total of 82 samples.
Core was cut on a sample-by-sample basis according to need in the following
manner:
o
Where a field duplicate was notrequired:½ core for assay, ½ core for
retention by Coda onsite for future review.
o
Where a field duplicatewasrequired:¼ core for assay, ¼ core for
duplicate assay, ½ core retention by Coda on site for future review.
Samples varied in length from 0.6m to 2.15m, with an average of 1.46m per
sample.
Field duplicates were taken based on sample numbers ensuring random
selection of mineralised and unmineralised material. Replicability across key
elements was good, except in high grade material, where variability is
attributable to irregular distribution of sulphides.

parties Resources, Torrens Mining and Gindalbie Metals (Coda’s predecessor
company). Argo Exploration undertook deep drilling immediately north of the
tenement boundary which as also informed work at Emmie IOCG.
With the exception of data from Gindalbie Metals, all historical results used to
guide Coda’s exploration has been obtained from the Geological Survey of
South Australia via the_South Australian Resources Information Gateway_ (SARIG).
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of The Elizabeth Creek project, of which Emmie Deeps is a part, sits in the Stuart
mineralisation. Shelf within the broader Olympic Copper Province in South Australia.
Emmie IOCG mineralisation appears to be hosted in metasiltstones and
sandstones of the Paleoproterozoic Wallaroo Formation, and appears to be
closely associated with a thrust sheet of Donington suite granites and
subvertical conduits. Mineralisation consists of copper sulphides precipitated
into these sedimentary units as part of a complex hydrothermal fluid
dominated by iron in the form of haematite.
Emmie IOCG mineralisation appears to closely resemble Iron Oxide Copper
Gold mineralisation known from several deposits in the immediate area such
as Olympic Dam and Carrapateena.

Where >1m of contiguous internal dilution splits a mineralised intersection, the
company may report “anomalous zones” which include the mineralised material and
the internal dilution to better reflect realistic grades in a non-selective or bulk mining
scenario.
Where <1m of unmineralized (sub-0.3% Cu) material separates <1m of mineralised (i.e.
> 0.3% Cu) material at the top or bottom of a larger mineralised intercept, this material
is excluded from aggregation and is reported separately.
Intervals are rounded to the nearest 10cm for reporting purposes.
Selection of the 0.3% Cu value as a cut-off grade was determined based on comparison
with nearby geologically comparable deposits and after considering current
commodity prices. Given the generally (but not ubiquitously) strong correlation
between copper and gold, and the lack of metallurgical test work undertaken on the
deposit, no attempt has been made to calculate a copper equivalent grade.
