EXPLORATION ADVANCING RAPIDLY ACROSS KEY CODRUS PROJECTS IN WA
Maiden diamond drilling completed to test prospective gold and nickel targets at Silver Swan South with assays awaited and EM surveys planned
Highlights
-
Initial diamond drilling completed beneath transported cover at Silver Swan South with prospective ultramafic and volcanic sequences intersected.
-
Final core processing underway with sample submission imminent and assays awaited.
-
Down-hole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys to be completed on all holes.
-
Geology encountered in the drilling fits the geological model and supports the prospectivity of the Company’s targets.
-
Preparations well advanced for drilling at the Red Gate Gold Project in the Edjudina Mining Centre, with 4,000m of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling to commence next month.
Codrus Minerals (ASX: CDR , Codrus or the Company ) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities across its highly prospective Western Australia portfolio, which continue to gain momentum following its successful $8 million IPO and ASX listing in June.
The Company has now completed its maiden diamond drilling program at the Silver Swan South Project , located ~40km north of Kalgoorlie in WA. The program, comprising ~1,464m of diamond drilling, was designed to test both nickel and gold targets along the Fitzroy Fault (the geological structure that hosts the mineralisation at the nearby >5Moz Kanowna Belle gold mine) (see Figure 2).
The drilling, completed by DDH1 (see Figure 1), intersected prospective ultramafic and volcanic sequences (see photos below) with core processing and sample submission imminent. Initial assay results are expected in early October.
Preparations are well advanced for the next phase of exploration, with a down-hole electromagnetic (DHEM) crew currently on site, and surveying of all holes to be completed.
Codrus Managing Director Shannan Bamforth commented: “We are pleased to have completed our maiden drill program at Silver Swan South on time and on budget, and we are now looking forward to receiving assay results. The drilling has intersected prospective rock sequences which reinforce the prospectivity of our ground package in this premier district along strike from the world-class Kanowna Belle gold mine.
“The combination of assay results and down-hole EM surveys should give us a clear picture of the next steps at this exciting project. In the meantime, we are gearing up for the start of our next drilling campaign, with 4,000m of RC drilling planned to commence next month at the Red Gate Project at Edjudina. This will ensure we continue to maintain a high level of exploration momentum across our portfolio.”

Silver Swan South
The Silver Swan South Project is a gold and nickel project located approximately 40km north-east of Kalgoorlie that consists of seven granted tenements covering a total area of 45.2km[2] (see Figure 2).
The Project lies approximately 10km north-east of the Kanowna Belle Gold Mine operated by Northern Star Resources Limited and lies along the structural trend of the Fitzroy Fault (the primary control on mineralisation at Kanowna Belle).
The Project has had historic exploration by numerous previous tenement holders, including Blackstone Minerals. Historic work that supported the gold and nickel exploration targeting at the project includes rotary air blast (RAB), air-core (AC) and Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling and several airborne and ground geophysical surveys.
A significant portion of the historical work is interpreted to have not effectively tested the geological opportunity due to not penetrating into bedrock as a result of the presence of thick surficial cover.

In relation to the disclosure of visual estimates of sulphide abundance, the Company cautions that visual estimates of sulphide mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy for mineralisation or substitute for a laboratory analysis. Assay results are required to determine the widths and grade of any mineralisation that may be present. The Company will update the market when laboratory analytical results become available.

Competent Persons Statement
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results and Exploration Targets is based on information compiled by Mr Shannan Bamforth who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Bamforth is a permanent employee of Codrus Minerals and has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Bamforth consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
The Information in this announcement that relates to previous exploration results for the Projects is extracted from the following ASX announcement:
-
“Codrus Minerals Limited Prospectus” 21st June 2021
-
“Drilling commences at Silver Swan South” 19[th] July 2021
The above announcement is available to view on the Company’s website at codrusminerals.com.au. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant original market announcements. The Company confirms that the information and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcements.
Exploration and Resource Targets
Any discussion in relation to the potential quantity and grade of Exploration and Resource Targets is only conceptual in nature. While Codrus is continuing exploration programs aimed at reporting additional JORC compliant Mineral Resources, there has been insufficient exploration to define mineral resources and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of maiden JORC compliant Mineral Resources.
