ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 29 October 2020

SEPTEMBER 2020 QUARTERLY REPORT

Constellation Resources Limited (“Constellation” or “Company”) is pleased to present its Quarterly Report for the period ended 30 September 2020. The Company’s focus is on the Orpheus Project in the Fraser Range of Western Australia, in addition to identifying and evaluating new opportunities in the resource sector. Positive results from the Company’s early stage work programs continue to demonstrate the underlying nickel sulphide prospectively within its Fraser Range tenements.

HIGHLIGHTS DURING AND SINCE THE QUARTER

  • Potential conductor within the Target 1 intrusive was identified through first phase moving loop electromagnetic survey (MLTEM) which was completed north of the Transline (Figure 1).

  • Assaying of selective air–core (AC) drill intervals have returned elevated platinum group elements (PGE), coincident with nickel, copper and cobalt (Ni-Cu-Co) anomalous zones. The geochemical pathfinder suite now identified in the weathered basement units provides further support for a nickel sulphide source. Key PGE zone results include:

  • KAC0091: 21m @ 0.21% Ni, 0.08% Cu, 0.03% Co, 52 ppb (Pt+Pd), 12ppb Au to BOH.

  • High priority ~2000m AC drilling program commenced this week with the aim to infill both the spacing around KAC0091 and drill over the MLTEM conductor.

  • Cash at bank of $3.8 million and no debt as at 30 September 2020, well-funded for planned activities.

UPDATED AIRCORE DRILLING RESULTS

The Company’s maiden AC reconnaissance drilling program comprising 121 holes totalling 15,102m was completed in the previous quarter. The AC program was conducted on five of ten high priority geophysical targets (Targets 1-5) across the Company’s Transline tenement (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The completed broad spaced drilling program generated a number of promising Ni-Cu-Co anomalous zones.

During the quarter, samples from selected holes that were anomalous for Ni-Cu-Co were subsequently resubmitted for PGE analysis. Several intervals with encouraging PGE values were returned (refer Table 1 and Table 2). Key PGE results include:

  • KAC0091: 21m @ 0.21% Ni, 0.08% Cu, 0.03% Co, 52ppb (Pt+Pd), 12ppb Au from 93m including:

  • 4m @ 0.26% Ni, 0.13% Cu, 0.05% Co, 88ppb (Pt+Pd) and 11ppb Au from 93m; and

  • 4m @ 0.31% Ni, 0.08% Cu, 0.03% Co, 24ppb (Pt+Pd) and 9ppb Au from 109m.

For context, most nickel sulphide mineralised systems have associated metal enrichments which include Ni-Cu-Co and PGEs. When fresh nickel sulphides oxidise, it can generate a much broader (Ni-Cu-Co-PGE) geochemical halo in the weathered profile (regolith) emanating from the nickel sulphide source. Thus, the identification of Ni-Cu-Co-PGE anomalous zones in AC drilling north of the Transline, in conjunction with an interpreted intrusive suite of olivine gabbros, pyroxenites and ultramafic rocks intersected at the bottom of hole, is considered promising.

The quality of the multi element regolith anomalies, particularly around KAC0091, warrants further high priority infill AC drilling. The increased drill density within the identified anomalies will enable a better understanding of the overall geochemical dispersion quality and morphology within the basement units. The prospective basement is concealed under varying thicknesses of sediments.

Once the AC drill program is completed and the results interpreted, the likely next step will be a fence of reverse circulation (RC) drilling to test beneath the geochemical anomalies and penetrate deeper into the basement rock. Down hole electromagnetic surveys are also expected to be undertaken in conjunction with the RC drilling.

MOVING LOOP ELECTROMAGNETIC SURVEY

A Low Frequency (~0.125Hz), high power MLTEM survey was completed, over all geochemical footprints (within Geophysical Targets 1, 2 and 4) that were previously identified in reconnaissance AC drilling north of the Transline. A total of 452 MLTEM stations were recorded over 15.2-line kilometres in the survey.

A potential bedrock MLTEM anomaly was defined in the mid-channel data (Channels 29-32BZ) located within the Target 1 intrusive. The mid-time conductor responses were affected by the strongly conductive overburden signatures in the area. The observed data did satisfy a modelled conductor extent of 300m strike by 150m depth extent, dipping steeply to the south west (Figure 1). The depth to top of the conductor is around 200-250m below the surface. An initial estimate of the conductance was up to 1250 Siemens. The source of the conductance could be due to the presence of a sulphide body developed in the basement. The Company has commenced high priority follow up AC drilling over the conductors.

The strike of the modelled MLTEM conductors correlates with a strong magnetic feature and is located in between reconnaissance AC drill traverses.

CURRENT WORK PROGRAMS

High Priority AC Drilling Program

~ A high priority 2,000m AC drilling program has commenced with the aim to infill the spacing around KAC0091 to 100m centres in order to obtain an increased understanding of dispersion patterns and assist vector towards a potential sulphide source. A fence of AC holes will also be completed over the surface projection of the interpreted MLTEM conductor. The results of the AC drill program are expected in December 2020.

Phase 2 MLTEM Survey

A second phase MLTEM survey has been designed over geophysical Targets 6, 8 and 10 (Figure 2). The MLTEM survey will be on a line spacing of 175-200m, station spacing of 100m with loop square layout of 300m. The Phase 2 MLTEM survey is expected to start in the December quarter, subject to crew availability. The MLTEM survey results will assist in the final design and location of the Exploration Incentive Scheme drill holes that are planned to be completed in HY1 2021.

29 October 2020

The Company’s Use of Funds Statement anticipated significant exploration work and programs on tenements E63/1281 and E63/1282 which did not eventuate. Several surface geophysical, mainly MLEM Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM) surveys conducted over E63/1281 returned moderate anomalism that did not warrant drilling and therefore planned drilling programs were postponed resulting in a significant reduction in planned expenditure. A reverse circulation drilling program on the gold anomaly on E63/1282 did not return any significant results and therefore planned follow up diamond drilling did not occur.

Note 2 - The Company’s Use of Funds Statement anticipated expenditure of $219,000 in relation to the two tenements the Company had under application as at the date of its Prospectus, E28/2738 (since granted) and ELA63/1695 (remains under application) and $280,000 on new project opportunities. Refer to Note 1 regarding variances in anticipated exploration and evaluation expenditures. No direct costs have been incurred on business development activities. Activities related to the identification and evaluation of new opportunities are undertaken utilising the Company’s existing resources.

Note 3 – The Company’s Use of Funds Statement anticipated the employment of an Exploration Manager which has not occurred, although a Technical Director was appointed on 22 July 2020 who undertakes similar duties.

Appendix 3: 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.

Aircore (AC) drilling was undertaken to generate
representative metre samples from the surface to
the bottom of hole.

The non-transported portion for each hole was
spear sampled to create a 4-metre representative
composite sample. A metre sample was collected
at the bottom of hole.

All samples weighed between 2-3kg. Samples had
generally minimal dampness with isolated wet
samples encountered.

Samples were sent to an independent commercial
assay laboratory.

All assay sample preparation comprised oven
drying, jaw crushing, pulverising and splitting to
produce a representative assay charge pulp. 1:4
composites samples were then analysed using
four acid digest and read by ICP‐OES/ ICP‐MS,
reporting 48 elements including Ag, Al, As, Ba, Bi,
Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Hf, In, K, La,
Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Re, S, Sb,
Sc, Se, Sn, Sr, Ta, Te, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Y, Zn and
Zr. The bottom of hole sample was also analysed
for the additional elements Dy, Er, Eu, Gd, Ho, Lu,
Nd, Pr, Sm, Tb, Tm and Yb.

Selected assay samples were read by 50g fire
assay ICP-MS for Pt, Pd and Au.
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).
 Aircore drilling was undertaken by Raglan
Drilling using a 90mm drill bit.
Drill
sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.

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.

Poor sample recoveries were visually estimated
and recorded on sample log sheets.

The sample cyclone is routinely cleaned at the
end of each rod run (3m) or when deemed
necessary.

There is insufficient data to determine if there is a
sample bias between sample recoveries and assay
grades.
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.

Whether logging isqualitative orquantitative in

Geological logging of air core drill spoils was
done on a visual basis for lithology, grainsize,
mineralogy, colour and weathering.

Logging was further aided with the collection of
1m chip trays which were then photographed.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.

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.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain
size of the material being sampled.

All aircore drill samples were collected using a
spear or scoop as 4m composites (2-3kg). Other
composites of 2m, 3m and 5m and individual 1m
samples were collected where required, i.e.
bottom of hole. Both damp and dry samples were
collected.

The samples are dried and pulverised before
analysis.

QAQC reference samples and duplicates were
routinely submitted with each sample batch.

The size of the sample is considered appropriate
for the mineralisation style sought and for the
analytical technique used.
Quality of
assay data

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters used in
determining the analysis including instrument
make and model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc.

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.

Aircore samples were analysed for a multi-
element suite by ICP-MS following a four-acid
digest.

These assay methods are considered
appropriate.

QAQC standards and duplicate samples were
included routinely (approximately 1 for every 40
samples). In addition, internal laboratory batch
standards and blanks were also undertaken

and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Aircore drilling spacing was at a nominal 500m x
400m with infill to 200m spacings on selected
traverses.

Drillholes were sampled in the residual portion
of the hole with the occasional need to sample
into the transported cover if the regolith profile
was not well developed. These samples were
collected to form 4m composites with
occasional shorter composites taken as required.
A 1m bottom of hole sample was collected at
the last metre for every hole.
Orientation

structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation
and the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.

The relationship between drill orientation and
mineralisation is unknown.
Sample

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 collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.

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.

Refer to table of drillhole collars in ASX
Announcement on the 14/7/2020.

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.

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.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.

The weighted averages of individual drill holes
are presented.
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’). _

Drillhole intercepts/intervals are measured
downhole in metres.
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.

Project and drillhole location maps have been
included in the body of the 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.

All available relevant information is presented.
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.

Detailed 50m line spaced aeromagnetic data
and semi regional gravity geophysical datasets
has been used for interpretation of 10 initial
intrusion targets in the underlying geology.
Technical details on these geophysical
datasets and targets are disclosed in
company’s ASX release on the 20/01/2020.

MLTEM Survey data acquisition was
undertaken by geophysical contractors HPEM
using a HT JESSY DEEP SQUID B-field sensor in
a Slingram configuration. Slingram offset was
set at 300m south of loop centre, transmitter
output was at 150 amp using a 300x300m
(single turn) loop. Line spacing was 200m with
stations every 100m along line. Frequency was
set at 0.125Hz.

MLTEM data was interpreted by Russell
Mortimer from Southern Geoscience
Consultants. Processing and
interpretation/modellingwasperformed
