Orpheus Project
Constellation manages the Orpheus Project, which comprises five tenements covering approximately 552km² in a prospective portion of the Fraser Range province of Western Australia. The Fraser Range province is considered prospective for nickel, copper and gold, and has attracted significant exploration since the discovery of the Nova deposit in 2012.
The Orpheus Project includes a 70% interest in three mineral exploration licences and one mineral exploration licence application, and a 100% interest in a further mineral exploration licence. The three EL’s form part of a joint venture between Constellation Resources Limited (70%) and Enterprise Metals Limited (30%, ASX: ENT).
Recent Work Programs: A targeted program of RC drilling during May/June tested a historic gold soil anomaly. Ground electromagnetic (EM) surveys conducted during February 2019 covered the various nickel targets mentioned in the previous quarterly reports over tenement E63/1281.
E63/1282-Gold
A RC drilling program has been completed at the Orpheus Project in the Fraser Range by Constellation Resources Limited during May/June over a gold target within tenement E63/1282.
The drilling was aimed at testing a 3km long low-level gold in soil anomaly with a peak value of 27ppb Au coincident with NE-SW trending magnetics. The majority of the RC drilling was focussed over a coherent 350m x 150m gold in soil geochem zone (see Figure 2 below).
A total of 25 RC drill holes were drilled for 2,370 metres to test the gold in soil gold anomalies. Drilling was completed on lines spaced 100-200m along strike with drill holes spaced at 30m intervals across strike (on some lines up to 60 metres apart). Drill holes ranged in depth from 60 to 108 metres to ensure fresh rock was encountered.
Samples were collected via cone splitter on a 1 metre basis and 4 metre composites were analysed at Min Analytical laboratories for a multi-element suite comprising Ag, As, Au, Bi, Co, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Te, W and Zn.
RC drilling has shown that the gold in soil geochem anomaly area geology comprises up to 20 metres of transported clays and gravels and deep weathering to an average depth of 50 metres. The bedrock lithological package is dominated by an intercalated quartz-bioitite/mica garnet gneiss and chlorite-magnetite amphibolite. In addition, occasional chert and BIF lithologies were logged. The amphibolite unit is extremely chloritic and has weak to strong magnetite content. The gneiss can be massive to banded with quartz rich augens and in places displays silica alteration.
The target is believed to have been adequately tested and no further work is currently planned here.
Anomalous gold values have been returned from three drill holes and are tabled below:
| Drill Hole ID | East | North | From | To | Grade **Auppb ** |
Lithology |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FRRC008 | 492522 | 6470500 | 60 | 64 | 189 | Limonitic amphibolite |
| FRRC018 | 492729 | 6470697 | 84 | 88 | 142 | quartz-mica-garnet gneiss |
| FRRC024 | 491425 | 6469799 | 52 | 56 | 94 | garnet-quartz-mica gneiss |

E63/1281- Nickel
During the March 2019 quarter, a moving-loop transient electromagnetic (MLTEM) survey was completed and results presented in the March quarterly report as summarised below.
The surveyed lines were designed to test for potential conductive anomalies at the following targets:
-
Magnetic lows (Mag 1 and 2 – Figure 3) in the south western part of E63/1281 that are interpreted to be possible mafic intrusions; and
-
Subtle responses (Plato South - Figure 6) seen in the 2015 ground TEM surveys over the Plato Prospect in the southern part of E63/1281.
The 2019 EM surveys were completed by GEM geophysics during February 2019 using their 60-80A transmitter and Jessy Deeps high-temperature SQUID B-field sensor. A total of 450 stations were recorded over 33 lines for a total of 31.05 line-km.
The most interesting anomaly to come out of the program was a weak anomaly in the north western part of the Mag 2 area. The model for this anomaly is a relatively weak conductor, and appears to be related to a SSW–NNE structure.
The Slingram follow-up of the subtle in-loop anomaly at Plato South has confirmed a possible weak conductor in this area, but modelling suggests it is relatively low conductance and could be at significant depth.

Ground EM Survey Results
Mag2 Anomaly
A weak anomaly at the northern edge of the survey is of potential interest. Modelling suggests the potential source could be a SSW–NNE striking, steep-dipping low level conductor (Conductance: 210S) at a depth of around 150m. The modelled plate size is 300m x 300m dipping steeply to the southeast.
The modelling of the MLTEM data suggests the response is from depth, rather than being a surficial response from the palaeochannel sediments, but the source of the anomalism is ambiguous. This weak response could be representing a number of sources including remobilised sulphides or graphite, locally more intense alteration along the fault plane, and/or locally more ground water within this complex fault zone.
The local MLTEM anomaly is located on a discontinuity along a SSW–NNE mid time HeliTEM feature (see Figure 5 below). There also appears to be some truncation of magnetic features in this area that suggest this is a site of an east–west structure. The MLTEM anomaly looks to be located at the junction of two fault trends.
==> picture [302 x 297] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5: HeliTEM Ch15 B-field amplitude image showing the Mag2 GEM Anomaly model relative to the palaeo drainage response and interpreted structures.
The anomaly is considered interesting enough to warrant a targeted drilling program to determine the cause of the conductive anomaly beneath cover. Planning for the drilling program is underway.

Plato South
A review of the 2015 MLTEM and fixed loop electromagnetic (FLTEM) data over Plato South revealed a weak anomaly that was modelled as a potential large low-conductance plate at the southern extent of the Plato prospect (see Figure 6).

Plato South (Continued)
During the February 2019 program, two East West lines of Slingram EM data (Figure 3) were surveyed over the Plato South anomaly to determine if the original anomaly could be better resolved using an offset receiver compared to the in-loop array, given the strong induced polarisation (IP) effects in the area.
The Slingram data confirmed a weak (Conductance 100S) anomaly, but did not resolve the anomaly any better than the original in-loop data. Modelling the Slingram data suggests that the source is shallower dipping than the original model and significantly deeper.
The Slingram derived target plate is 320-400m below surface and therefore any drill program will need to conducted using a diamond drill rig.
The first drilling program at Plato in 2014 intersected several small magmatic sulphidic nickel intercepts, however all drilling terminated in the target host rocks and the lower margins of the mafic-ultramafic intrusive system have not yet been tested. Therefore, whilst the anomaly is not strongly conductive, given it sits under conductive cover and the presence of nearby sulphidic nickel intercepts, it has not been discounted and further assessment and subsequent drilling is planned.

Appendix 2: JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Fraser Range
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. |
Samples from Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling were collected in one metre intervals at the rig with a cyclone‐mounted cone splitter, bagged in pre‐numbered calico bags with the remainder/bulk of the sample collected in a 20 litre bucket and retained as piles on the ground adjacent to each drill hole. Four metre composites were collected by scoop sampling a representative individual 1 meter RC sample pile. Each RC sample (whether composite or individual 1m splits) weighed approximately two to three kilograms. Four metre composite RC samples were sent to MinAnalytical Laboratories for crushing and pulverising to produce a 25 gram sample charge for analysis by Aqua Regia ICP MS, for a 13 element pathfinder suite (Au, Ag, As, Bi, Co, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Te,W and Zn)with a 4 hour digestperiod. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
Sampling including QAQC was done under Constellation’s standard procedures. Sample recovery was visually deemed to be sufficient for this program. MinAnalytical laboratory applied their own internal QAQC protocols. |
|
| 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. |
MOVING LOOP TEM SURVEY Ground-based MLTEM surveys were conducted over selected areas. These surveys were carried out by GEM Geophysics (GEM) using a Jessy Deeps LT SQUID sensor and GEM GT-HO 100A transmitter. The primary field was generated by applying a current of 60-80A to a 300 x 300m transmitter loop. All data were acquired using a Slingram configuration, with the sensor offset 300m from the centre of the transmitter loop. RC holeswere sampled over 1m intervals by cone-splitting. All samples are pulverised at the laboratory to 85% passing - 75μm to produce a 25g charge for Aqua Regia with an ICP-MS finish. Samples are analysed by MinAnalytical Laboratories in Perth. |
|
| 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). |
RC drilling was completed by Westside Drilling to target depth using a 5” face sampling bit. The drill bit size is considered appropriate for this style of mineralisation. RC holes are not oriented. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. |
One metre samples were collected through a cyclone/cone splitter setup for each meter drilled, with remainder of the sample collected in a 20 litre bucket. |

|---|---|---|
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
Sample recovery was estimated visually and was and was generally around 80-90% but was as low 30-40% in near surface samples (when each hole was being “collared”). A four-metre composite was made up from these individual one metre samples using a scoop to obtain an approximately 2.5 -3kg representative sample. |
|
| Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
There is no apparent correlation between grade and ground conditions. There is no apparent sample bias. |
|
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. |
Samples were wet sieved and logged for colour, weathering, grain size, major lithology (where possible) along with any visible alteration, sulphides or other mineralisation The entire hole is logged by experienced geologists employed by Constellation Resources using the Company’s logging scheme. The level of detail is considered sufficient for early stage exploration of the type being undertaken. |
| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. |
Geological logging is qualitative All chip trays are photographed in the field. |
|
| The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
All holes are geologically logged over their entire length. | |
| Sub- sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
Not applicable |
| Samples were generally dry with very few samples being wet during a rod change. |
||
| All samples were prepared at the MinAnalytical Laboratory facilities in Kalgoorlie and Perth. All samples were dried and pulverised to 85% passing 75μm and a sub sample of approximately 200g retained. A nominal 25g charge was used for the Aqua Regia multi-element analysis. The procedure is industry standard for this type of sample and analysis. |
||
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. |
Sample sizes are considered appropriate given the particle size and the need to keep 4m samples below a targeted 3kg weight which meet the targeted grind size using LMS the mills used in sample preparation by MinAnalytical. |
|
| Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. |
Representative scoop of the 1m sample was collected from each pile to produce a 4m representative composite sample for analysis. |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
A representative 2.5-3.0 kg, 4m composite sample is appropriate for grain size of the material being sampled. |
|
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. |
Samples were analysed at MinAnalytical Laboratory, Perth. The analytical method used was a 25g charge for Aqua Regia with an ICP-MS finish for a multi-element pathfinder suite. This method gives a near total digest of the sample and is considered appropriate for the material and mineralisation. |

determine the repeatability of the readings. Data was sent to an independent geophysical consultant (Kelvin Blundell) on a daily basis for QA/QC. |
|
| Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
At this early stage first pass drill programme, no standards or duplicates were submitted. Minanalytical routinely undertakes repeats and checks on samples submitted for analysis. |
|
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. |
Anomalous intersections are checked by the Project Geologist and Competent Person. |
| The use of twinned holes. | No twin drilling undertaken during this program. | |
| Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. |
All field logging is carried out on a laptop using inhouse excel logging template. Logging data is submitted electronically to the Database Manager based in Perth. Assay files are received from the lab electronicallyand all data was merged. |
|
| Discuss any adjustment to assay data. | No assay data is adjusted | |
| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. |
EM Survey: Loop and receiver locations were determined using hand-held GPS with accuracy of around 5m. RCcollars were located by handheld GPS, which are considered accurate to ±5m in Northing and Easting. Angled holes are set up using a clinometer to set the angle of the drill rig’s mast. |
| Specification of the grid system used. | Grid system used is the GDA94_MGAz51 grid system. | |
| Quality and adequacy of topographic control. | RLs were allocated to the drill hole collar using hand held GPS which is considered sufficient for this early first pass drill programme. |
|
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. | EM Survey:Readings were taken at 100m intervals on regional reconnaissance lines and 50m intervals over specific targets. Where more than one line was acquired, line spacing varied between 150 and 300m. RC Drillingwas mostly completed on lines 100m apart with drill holes spaced at 30m intervals and on some lines up to 60 metres apart. Drill holes ranged in depth from 60 to 108 metres. |
| Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. |
N/A as no resource estimation is made. | |
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. | Samples were composited into 4m intervals from individual 1m samples. |
|
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. |
EM Survey: Regional reconnaissance lines were acquired in an area with SW-NE magnetic grain, 3D and cross-cutting magnetic bodies, and N-S faults, and the lines were oriented E–W and N–S so as to best cover magnetic features of interest. RC Drilling: Orientation and dip of drill holes was determined from an interpretation of geophysics and modelling of geochemistry completed by previous explorers and an interpretation undertaken byConstellation. |

| Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
All MLTEM data is digitally stored by the contractor and geophysical consultant. RC composite samples were collected in individual calico bags which were then placed in larger polyweave bags which were sealed with cable ties before transport to the Min Analytical Laboratory sample preparation facility in Kalgoorlie by Company personnel 300km by road. The sample dispatches were accompanied by supporting documentation, signed by the site project geologist, which outlined the submission number, number of samples and preparation/analysis instructions. Samples were logged prior to being sampled. Minanalytical maintains the chain of custody once the samples are received at the preparation facility, with a full audit trail available |
|
| Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
MLTEM data has been independently checked by geophysical consultant Kelvin Blundell. Sampling and assaying techniques are considered to be industry standard. At this stage of exploration, no external audits or reviews have been undertaken. |

| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: o easting and northing of the drill hole collaro elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sealevel in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length and interception deptho hole length. |
All assay and collar information are tabulated in Appendix 3 of this report. All significant intercepts are reported at 0.1g/t Au cut-off. |
| If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
NA | |
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
Intersection lengths and grades for all holes are reported as down-hole. |
| Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. |
NA | |
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No metal equivalent values are used. | |
| Relationship between mineralisati on 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. |
Drill hole intersections are reported down hole and true width is unknown. |
| 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’). |
NA | |
| 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 diagrams are included in the main body of 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. |
Reporting of results is considered balanced. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
No additional meaningful and material exploration data has been excluded from this report. |
