Codrus Minerals Limited ( ASX:CDR , “ Codrus ”, or the “ Company ”) is pleased to report on activities at its exploration projects during the March 2022 Quarter, which saw exploration momentum increase across the Company’s high-quality exploration portfolio in Australia and the USA.
In Australia (see Figure 1) , Codrus received the assays from its maiden drilling program at the Red Gate Gold Project in the Eastern Goldfields region. The significant assay results support the Company’s commitment to follow up with an additional 3,000m Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program commencing in May. The drill program is expected to provide important insights into the geological setting and controls on the mineralisation.
Exploration continued at the Middle Creek Gold Project in the Pilbara region, with a trenching program commencing early in the March Quarter. Additional analysis of results from the Silver Swan South Project has also been completed with an EM survey planned. Meanwhile, at the Bull Run Gold Project in Oregon, USA, the Company is advancing an Induced Polarisation (IP) survey and has continued its efforts in progressing drill permitting ahead of the Company’s maiden drill program.

RED GATE GOLD PROJECT
The Red Gate Gold Project (100% interest) is located approximately 140km north of Kalgoorlie and comprises one granted Exploration Licence covering a total area of 145.2km[2] (see Figure 2) .
The RC drilling program completed during the December Quarter at the Red Gate Project comprised a total of 2,980m of drilling (see Figure 3) and was designed to test IP anomalies, down-dip and down-plunge extensions of known mineralisation and to investigate under soil anomalies.

Porphyry West
High-grade mineralisation was encountered in RGRC002, which returned an intercept of 23m at 3.82g/t Au from 14m down-hole including 5m at 14.29g/t Au from 27m down-hole (see Figure 4) .
The mineralisation is located at the contact of granite and basalts in altered rocks with considerable disseminated pyrite. This hole has provided confidence in historic drilling, with holes drilled 25m along strike to the south previously returning 12m at 9.16g/t Au from 8m in NPRC030 and 15m at 1.13g/t Au from 22m in NPRC071.
Hole RGRC003 was drilled down-dip of the mineralisation encountered in RGRC002 and returned numerous zones of mineralisation, with the most robust being 24m at 1.04g/t from 42m down-hole, and 5m at 5.75 g/t Au from 15m down-hole in hole RGRC003, with all mineralisation located towards the lower contact of the granite.
RGRC004 was drilled to the west of these two holes and, while the hole did not reach the interpreted prospective zone, minor mineralisation was encountered higher up in the hole including 1m at 0.54g/t Au from 28m and 1m at 0.45g/t Au from 98m, with low-level gold anomalism continuing to the end-of-hole.

Further north on the section, where RGRC011 intersected 1m at 21.35g/t Au from 80m down-hole in basalt (see Figure 5) and 16m at 0.30g/t from 85m to the end-of-hole in the upper portion of the granite, hole RGRC027 was drilled approximately 145m to the east and encountered numerous wide zones of lower grade mineralisation within the granite including:
-
8m at 0.44g/t Au from 12m,
-
23m at 0.61g/t Au from 31m, and
-
20m at 0.42g/t Au from 72m.

Figure 5. Cross-section through Porphyry West showing the mineralisation in RGRC011 to RGRC027.
The Porphyry West drilling campaign has confirmed the potential of the Red Gate Project to host highgrade mineralisation over significant widths.
Porphyry North
The Porphyry North prospect is located approximately 400m north of Porphyry West (see Figure 3) and has had significant mineralisation drilled historically to approximately 40m below surface over 300m of continuous strike.
The aim of the Company’s drilling at Porphyry North was to have robust tests of the mineralisation at depth and to test the interpreted plunge controls on the mineralisation. Three holes – RGRC020, RGRC021 and RGRC022 – were drilled, all of which encountered mineralisation, with RGRC021 and RGRC022 encountering significant down hole-widths of mineralisation (see Figure 6) .
RGRC021 was drilled 50m along the interpreted down-plunge extension of historic mineralisation, with the hole intersecting a total of five zones of mineralisation including:
-
20m at 0.56g/t Au from 16m;*
-
7m at 0.84g/t Au from 39m;
-
4m at 0.35g/t Au from 56m;*
-
4m at 0.73g/t Au from 84m; and
-
10m at 0.36g/t Au from 100m to end-of-hole.*
(Intercepts annotated with a * denotes composites samples in the interval, with single metre samples to be submitted to the lab to more discretely articulate the distribution of mineralisation.)
Further down-plunge and 110m along the interpreted down-plunge extension of historic mineralisation, RGRC020 returned 1m at 0.72g/t Au from 77m down-hole and 1m at 0.99g/t Au from 98 down-hole in the granite.
5
==> picture [45 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
RGRC022, drilled 120m under the historic mineralisation, returned an intercept of 20m at 0.47g/t Au from 188m down-hole* in a chlorite altered partly schistose granite with quartz veining and pyrite.
Of note is the two new granite horizons which have been drilled and are mineralised, have never previously been identified or tested with drilling.
==> picture [511 x 318] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 6. Long-section of Porphyry North.
The ability to define significant mineralisation well beyond the limits of the historic drilling demonstrates that the scale of the mineralising system at Red Gate is significant and further drilling is warranted to understand the range of controls on mineralisation.
Grunters
Drilling at Grunters focused on a geochemical anomaly with no historic drilling. Two lines of drilling were completed (see Figure 7) , with the first line (which was previously reported) intersecting:
-
8m at 0.57g/t Au from 20m in RGRC016*, and
-
4m at 0.36g/t Au from 32m in RGRC015* (see Figure 8) .
The second line of drilling, located 140m to the north, intersected predominantly granite with +/- trace pyrite and further low-grade mineralisation, including:
-
4m at 0.48g/t Au from 32m in RGRC024*, and
-
8m at 0.29g/t Au from 84m and 4m at 0.25g/t Au from 34m in RGRC025* (see Figure 9) .
(Intercepts annotated with a * denotes composites samples in the interval, with single metre samples to be submitted to the lab to more discretely articulate the distribution of mineralisation.)
These are very encouraging results for a greenfields target over a large area, with the controls on mineralisation poorly understood at this early stage of exploration.
Future interpretation of the geology will be aided by a UAV (drone) Magnetic Survey completed during the June quarter to evaluate any potential structural controls.

The Company has committed to the next drilling program at Red Gate, which is planned to commence in early May and will comprise of 3,000m of RC drilling.
The focus of the drilling will be to follow up the exciting mineralisation encountered in the first drilling campaign, and test numerous conceptual targets.

SILVER SWAN SOUTH PROJECT
The Silver Swan South Gold-Nickel Project (100% interest) is located approximately 40km north-east of Kalgoorlie and comprises seven (7) granted tenements covering a total area of 45.2km[2] .
The Silver Swan South Project is located approximately 10km north-east of the Kanowna Belle Gold Mine, operated by Northern Star Resources Limited (see Figure 10) , and lies along the interpreted structural trend of the Fitzroy Fault (the primary control on mineralisation at Kanowna Belle).
The Project has had historical exploration by numerous previous tenement holders, including Blackstone Minerals. Historical work that supports gold and nickel exploration targeting at the project includes rotary air blast (RAB), air-core (AC) and RC drilling and several airborne and ground geophysical surveys.
A significant portion of this historical work is interpreted to have not effectively tested the geological opportunity due to not penetrating bedrock as a result of the presence of thick surficial cover.
==> picture [312 x 454] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 10. Silver Swan South Project location.

==> picture [45 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
The Company’s initial drilling program at Silver Swan South in the September 2021 Quarter targeted the Black Eagle, Black Falcon, Black Hawk and Venus prospects (see Figure 10) , with a single diamond hole completed at each prospect to intersect bedrock.
Further analysis and review of the project has identified that more detailed magnetics in discrete parts of the project could aid further targeting. Magnetic surveying commenced in the quarter and will be completed early in the June Quarter.
The survey will complement and further articulate an update in the structural interpretation of the Project, helping to inform planned drilling in the September 2022 Quarter.
MIDDLE CREEK PROJECT
The Middle Creek Gold Project (95% to 100% interest) is located approximately 185km north of Newman and 10km east of the small township of Nullagine in the East Pilbara Region (see Figure 11) . The Project comprises 21 granted licences covering a total area of 37.4km[2] .
==> picture [452 x 315] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 11. The Middle Creek Project and significant regional gold projects.
There has been minimal historical exploration at the Middle Creek Project, with work completed including surface geochemistry, geological interpretation and prospecting. The regional geological interpretation is well-understood, and the lack of exploration completed on the tenements to date provides an exceptional opportunity in an area of significant historical gold production.
A project-wide review of the geochemical sampling (see Figure 12) was completed which informed a program of surface trenching planned for excavation, mapping and sampling.
The trenching will focus on the Major, Rangi, Dolores, Horse, Boris and Spud geochemical anomalies across the tenements. Once these areas are mapped and sampled, it will provide the Company’s exploration team with greater geological context.
10
==> picture [45 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
Given the geochemical anomalies already identified, it is envisaged that the trenching program will generate follow-up targets for RC drilling.
==> picture [448 x 309] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 12. Middle Creek Project gold in soil contours and anomalies.
During a regional review, a number of key areas were highlighted in the Nullagine Mining Centre which the Company believes are prospective for gold mineralisation. As a result of this, the Company applied for 12 new tenements, with seven of the tenements being contiguous to the west of the current land-holding and five to the south of the current land-holding (see Figure 13) .

Once granted, soil sampling will be completed across the tenements as a priority to identify anomalous trends for follow-up work.
AMERICAN PROJECT
BULL RUN PROJECT (OREGON, USA)
The Bull Run Project is located in Baker County, eastern Oregon, USA, approximately 5 miles south of the town of Unity (see Figure 14) . The Bull Run Project consists of 102 claims (including 12 new claims that were added during the December 2021 Quarter), 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 15) .

==> picture [337 x 249] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 14. Location of the Bull Run Project in Oregon USA
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, 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.

==> picture [45 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
The sampling has identified a new zone of anomalous gold known as the Koski Zone (see Figure 16) . 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 (Direct Current resistivity and Induced Polarisation) survey over an area of 5.75km[2] (see Figure 17) .
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.
==> picture [453 x 319] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 17. 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. During the Quarter, the winter weather restricted progress on program however it is anticipated that work 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 continued with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the US Forest Service and will continue with a dedicated consultant in-country supporting the Company’s permitting applications.
In addition to the 3D DCIP survey, the Company will be collecting the following additional datasets:
-
UAV (drone) photography to assist drill planning and environmental management;
-
UAV (drone) magnetics surveying, and
-
Modern surveying of the existing underground workings.
