ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 14 April 2025
DRILLING AT ULARRING COPPER GOLD TARGET COMMENCES
Constellation Resources Limited (the “Company” or “Constellation”) is pleased to advise that a diamond drilling program at the Centre Forest Prospect (“Centre Forest”) within the Company’s 100% owned Ularring Copper Gold Project (“Ularring” or the “Project”) has commenced.
The drilling program is planned to test the recently defined high-quality chargeable dipole-dipole induced polarisation (“DDIP”) anomaly which collectively with its relative location to previous drill intersections and relationship within a circular magnetic low, presents as a high-grade intrusion related copper gold (“Cu-Au”) target – a style that has generated large deposits within the region.
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Two-hole program, testing a horizontally plunging >16mV/V chargeability zone over 1.1km x 0.3km in size from 300m with a higher chargeability core > 20mV/V which importantly, is untested by previous drilling.
-
The initial hole will test the northern end of the anomaly where the highest and shallowest modelled chargeability peak responses (>20mV/V) are significantly higher in magnitude than the responses modelled over previous Cu-Au drill intersections located up dip (Figure 1, 2 & 3).
-
The higher chargeability zone identified at Ularring may be due to increased sulphide development and if true, a possible vector to discover higher grade Cu-Au mineralisation.
-
Subject to results from the first hole, a second hole will be drilled 500m to the south-east (Figure 1 & 2), in the coming months, to test the promising intrusion related target outlined by the distinct magnetic low. An EIS grant application has been submitted for this hole.
-
Company to undertake a one (1) for four (4) non-renounceable entitlement offer at $0.15 per share to raise approximately $2.36 million (before costs).

Drilling of High-Quality Copper Gold Target at Centre Forest Commences
Centre Forest is the most advanced prospect at Ularring with a continuous lower grade Cu-Au horizon identified from historical drilling that is mappable over strike length of 1.1km and remains open when utilising a >0.1g/t Au cutoff (Figure 2). The mineralisation at Centre Forest is interpreted to be hosted along the prospective Meenar Shear Corridor. Historic petrology analysis and a review of other elements assayed from selected gold intersections demonstrate a relationship with silver, scheelite with a sulphide assemblage comprising of chalcopyrite, bismuthinite, molybdenite, pyrrhotite and tellurides. Hence identifying and testing areas with higher sulphides concentrations may lead to the discovery of higher-grade mineralisation.
The diamond drilling program to test the promising target, has commenced. The initial hole will be a vertical hole testing the highest modelled chargeable zones located along Section A – A[1] (Figure 3). Subject to processing of results, a second hole, to be undertaken in the coming months, is planned down dip of BUDD0003 along Section B-B[1 ] (Figure 1 & 2). In conjunction, the Company has submitted an application to the Exploration Incentive Scheme in relation this second hole.

The Company previously engaged Core Geophysics to review and reprocess a single DDIP section line conducted by Sipa Exploration (“Sipa”) in 2007 at Centre Forest along Section B-B[1] . Induced Polarisation surveys are well recognised geophysical techniques to assist explorers identify areas of increased chargeability - a potential proxy for increased sulphide concentration. The resultant inversion model indicated a promising large low to moderate order chargeability anomaly. The attraction of the Sipa 2007 DDIP chargeability anomaly was its potential as a higher-grade Cu-Au target, as the peak modelled responses (~16mV/V) were located down dip of CuAu drillhole intersections and were significantly higher in magnitude when compared to the chargeability response modelled over the drill intersections (6-8mV/V).

To confirm and enhance the working geological model, Constellation engaged Khumsup Geophysical Contractors to undertake three additional DDIP sections lines for 9-line kilometres. Data QAQC and inversion modelling was conducted by Core Geophysics. The modelled results from the newly acquired survey were highly successful in demonstrating the presence of an untested, open coherent, horizontal plunging >16mV/V chargeability zone from 300m depth that is 1.1km x 0.3km in size. A higher chargeability core > 20mV/V has also been inferred that is located to the northeast of the 2007 DDIP chargeable anomaly (Figure 1 and 3).
Importantly all updated DDIP changeable shell outlines closely follow, or are within, a circular magnetic low interpreted to be a concealed magmatic intrusion (Figure 2). The historical Cu-Au-Ag-Bi-W drill intersections, the quality of the chargeable DDIP anomaly, its location down dip of Cu-Au drill intersections and its relationship within a circular magnetic low, collectively support the working geological hypothesis for a high-grade intrusion related Cu-Au target.

ABOUT THE ULARRING COPPER GOLD PROJECT
The Ularring Project, consisting of tenements E70/4686, E70/4901 and E70/6671 (cumulatively 222km[2] ) is located 100km northeast of Perth (Figure 4). Ularring is situated within the Archaean Yilgarn Craton and borders the Southwest and Youanmi Terranes. Historical drill results and geology indicates a highly prospective Intrusion related Cu-Au system for Ularring, a system style that can generate large scale deposits. The region is known to host several major deposits that are intrusion related, such as the Boddington Copper-Gold mine (11Moz Au and 1Mt of copper produced, hosted in a sheared Intrusive related setting) and Caravel Minerals Limited’s (ASX: CVV) Caravel Copper Project (a porphyry hosted Cu-Mo-Ag-Au deposit containing 3Mt Cu, 61Kt Mo, 895koz Au and 46Moz Ag in Mineral Resource).
Ularring represents an exciting opportunity to not only explore for higher grade Cu-Au zones at Centre Forest but also regionally along the targeted shear corridor (24km of strike), where minimal exploration (if any) has been undertaken. Historical results generated Cu-Au-Bi-Mo-W soil anomalies utilising a variety of sampling methods (soil and auger sampling) and various analytical techniques which are located along strike of Centre Forest and on separate trends.
