Exploration Ramps Up at Highly Prospective Bull Run Gold Project, USA
– – Bull Run Gold Project Eastern Oregon, USA Key Highlights:
-
12 additional mineral claims added to the Bull Run Project
-
New zone of anomalous gold-in-soils identified in the new claims
-
The first 3D Induced Polarisation (IP) survey has now commenced to identify chargeability anomalies to a depth of 400m and assist with drill target definition
-
• Preliminary drill permitting now underway with in-country support
Codrus Minerals (ASX: CDR , Codrus or the Company ) is pleased to advise that its maiden exploration activities are gathering momentum at the highly prospective Bull Run Gold Project , located in Baker County, eastern Oregon, USA (see Figure 1).
The Company has commenced a pivotal ground-based geophysical exploration program to assist with drill target definition after securing additional strategic mineral claims and identifying prospective new anomalous zones through successful soil sampling programs.
The Bull Run Project forms part of Codrus’ global exploration portfolio, which also includes three projects in Tier-1 locations in Western Australia. Exploration commenced at Bull Run towards the end of 2021 following Codrus’ successful IPO and ASX listing last year and is expected to ramp-up significantly in 2022.

The Bull Run Project consists of 102 claims, (12 of which were added recently), of which the Company holds a 100% legal and beneficial interest in 91 claims and is party to the Record Mine Option Agreement covering a further 11 claims (see Figure 2) .
The Bull Run Project, situated in the Ironside Mountain Inlier, is prospective for gold and copper and has been mined intermittently since approximately 1929 for narrow high-grade gold (Record Gold Mine).
The Project has had little modern exploration completed on it, with the most recent drilling comprising just three holes completed in the 1980s.
The Project hosts both gold and base metal mineralisation in north-east trending en-echelon veins, stockwork-type vein filling and disseminations between major veins within older equigranular biotite-quartz diorite and later felsic porphyritic intrusions. Low-grade mineralisation is also observed within the serpentinite.

The most recent exploration work (completed by Blackstone Minerals (ASX: BSX) prior to the spin-out and listing of Codrus Minerals last year) was soil geochemistry sampling over the claims which identified two gold-in-soil trends (see Figure 3):

-
A north trend running approximately parallel to the serpentinite-Bull Run granodiorite contact and the dominant dyke strike through the Bull Run Project area; and
-
A North-east to north-northeast trend parallel to the dominant vein set within the Bull Run granodiorite, highlighted in particular by the Whited, Payton and Sunrise veins.
In the last quarter of 2021, Codrus pegged an additional 12 mineral claims, covering the prospective zone to the south. These claims are 100%-owned by the Company.
Once granted, the Company immediately commenced a program of soil sampling, with 99 samples collected in the new mineral claims. The samples were analysed for a multi-element suite including gold.

The sampling has identified a new zone of anomalous gold known as the Koski zone. In addition to gold, the zone is coincident with some low-level zinc and copper mineralisation.

The Company has identified the presence of disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralisation at Bull Run which may be amenable to pole-dipole Induced Polarisation geophysics. To test this, the Company has contracted Dias Geophysical, which will conduct a low-noise deep 3D DCIP survey over an area of 5.75km[2] (see Figure 4) .
The survey, which commenced towards the end of last year, is expected to resolve chargeability and resistivity anomalies to a depth of 400m. Dias Geophysical will deliver multi-scale, multi-azimuth datasets and 3D models of the chargeability and resistivity throughout the area. They will also image and map the sub-surface characteristics associated with the sulphide-rich quartz vein system.

Figure 4. Location and configuration of the 3D DCIP survey. Cyan dots are receiver stations and yellow dots are current injection stations.
The survey was paused in late December as the steepness of the terrain and the accumulated snow made ground activities unsafe. The program will resume as soon as ground conditions allow.
The results from the 3D DCIP IP survey, once received, will be integrated with the current geological knowledge to inform a drilling program. Preliminary drill permitting has commenced with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and will continue with a dedicated consultant in-country supporting the Company’s permitting applications.
In addition to the 3D DCIP IP survey, the Company will be collecting the following additional datasets:
-
UAV (drone) photography to assist drill planning and environmental management; and
-
Modern surveying of the existing underground workings.

Management Comment
Codrus Managing Director Shannan Bamforth said: “This is the first significant modern exploration to be undertaken at Bull Run in several decades and is an exciting time for the Company. We have long regarded Bull Run as a high-potential opportunity for significant gold and copper discoveries and we are really pleased to have teams on the ground actively working to unlock this potential.
“The strategic additions to our tenure secured last year have already led to the identification of a significant new gold-in-soil anomaly and we are really excited to have a major 3D DCIP IP survey now underway. We believe that this is the most appropriate geophysical technique to advance the Project, and we are really looking forward to seeing the results.
“The results will be combined with our other supporting datasets to help us define drill targets. In anticipation of drilling this year, we have already commenced the permitting process in-country and we are looking forward to what should be a big year for Codrus at our key US asset. We are also looking forward to receiving assay results from the recently completed drilling at the Red Gate Project in WA.”
This announcement was authorised for release by the Board of Codrus Minerals.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques • Nature and quality of sampling (eg 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. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. •Some 99 soil samples were collected from the Koski zone by Burgex Mining Consultants (“Burgex”) personnel on behalf of Codrus Minerals Ltd (“Codrus”). •Soil sampling was conducted on the UTM Zone 11 NAD83 grid using handheld GPS to locate the sample sites. Sample spacing was nominally 100m x 100m. •Samples were dug by hand shovel from an average depth of 25 cm, sieved on site to c. -3 mm then submitted to ALS Geochemistry in Reno, Nevada USA (“ALS Reno”) for preparation and assay. |
||
| Drilling techniques • Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face- sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). •Drilling results not being presented, not applicable |

Subsequently the Record Mining Company was formed and reported 5,000 oz gold production between 1933 and 1937 from the Blacksmith and Mill levels within the Whited Vein. • The Bull Run area was explored by Manville Products, Newmont and Golconda in the 1980s, activities including geological mapping, rock sampling, soil sampling, trenching and c. 66 RC and diamond core holes. Only a small amount of the historic exploration data has been able to be recovered. |

| Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. • The Bull Run Project claims are located within the Ironside Mountain Inlier which exposes Permian- Triassic ophiolitic ultramafic-mafic rocks and mélange within the southern margin of the Baker Terrane and volcanic lithic wackes and calcareous sedimentary rocks of the Jurassic Weatherby Formation in the northern margin of the Izee Terrane (Hooper et al., 1995). The Permian-Triassic ophiolite and Weatherby Formation are intruded by two large Cretaceous- Oligocene granodiorite-tonalite bodies: the Grouse Creek and Bull Rungranodiorites,and |

| numerous andesitic dykes and sills. Porphyry- style hydrothermal alteration and copper, molybdenum, gold and silver mineralisation is associated with the porphyritic Grouse Creek granodiorite, and gold and base metal mineralisation within the Bull Run granodiorite and ultramafic rocks appears to be associated with the emplacement of phyllic altered porphyritic andesite-dacite dikes of Eocene age (Hooper et al., 1995). • The gold mineralisation at the Record Mine area is mainly associated with northeast trending en- echelon veins, stockwork-type vein filling and disseminations between major veins within biotite-quartz diorite and andesite-dacite intrusions. Lower grade gold mineralisation is also observed within the serpentinite. Most of the larger veins strike northeast and dip northwest and are best developed close to the biotite-quartz diorite and serpentinite contact. |

| 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 effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). • Drilling results not being presented, not applicable. |

| Diagrams • 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. • Appropriate plans are provided in this report. |
||
| 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. • Of the 99 soil samples collected within the Koski zone 22 % assayed ≥20 ppb Au, 6 % ≥50 ppb Au and 1 % ≥ 200ppb Au. • Appropriate plans are provided in this report. |
