ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 30 July 2021
JUNE 2021 QUARTERLY REPORT
Constellation Resources Limited (“Constellation” or “Company”) is pleased to present its Quarterly Report for the period ended 30 June 2021. 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 resources sector.
HIGHLIGHTS DURING AND SINCE THE QUARTER END
-
Air-Core (“AC”) drilling results to date have defined a highly prospective Ni-Cu-Co-PGE geochemical target that is interpreted to be over three kilometres in strike and up to 400 metres wide – named the “Eyre Anomaly”. There is strong evidence for magmatic nickel sulphides as being the source of the Eyre Anomaly which supports the prospectivity of the other established Ni-Cu-Co-PGE anomalies as a pathfinder to nickel sulphides in the basement intrusive.
-
Completion of a further 20 infill AC drill holes in July 2021 for 2,244 metres over tenement E28/2403, assays pending.
-
Assay results received from the Company’s March 2021 AC program continues to demonstrate the link between Ni-Cu-Co anomalism and the presence of trace magmatic nickel sulphides in a favourable intrusive host rock (Figure 1). Key results from the March 2021 program include:
o KAC0139: 16m @ 0.12% Ni, 0.01% Cu and 0.02% Co;
o KAC0141: 4m @ 0.08% Ni, 0.08% Cu and 0.03% Co; and
o KAC0147: 4m @ 0.09% Ni, 0.02% Cu and 0.02% Co (+trace nickel sulphides in BOH sample).
-
Based on Eyre Anomaly assay results, the Company intends to accelerate its nickel sulphide drilling effort to include follow-up AC drilling in the September quarter, followed by an anticipated diamond drilling program.
-
Cash at bank of $2.94 million and no debt as of 30 June 2021, well-funded for planned activities. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company has received a further $2.34 million upon the exercise of options including $0.3 million from Directors.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES
Eyre Anomaly Aircore Drilling Programs - E28/2403
During and subsequent to the quarter, the Company completed twenty AC holes for a total of 2,244 metres (assay results from this program remain outstanding) across the Eyre Anomaly to varying spacing. The Eyre Anomaly is a highly prospective Ni-Cu-Co-PGE geochemical target interpreted to be over three kilometres in strike and up to 400 metres wide (Figure 1). Strong evidence indicates magmatic nickel sulphides being the source of the Eyre Anomaly with optical petrological analysis confirming trace levels of magmatic nickel-copper sulphides in multiple holes in a fertile mafic intrusion (Figure 1).
The southern Eyre Anomaly has returned promising reconnaissance spaced intersections to date that include:
-
KAC0091: 21m @ 0.21% Ni, 0.08% Cu, 0.03% Co, 52 ppb (Pt+Pd), 12ppb Au;
-
KAC0124: 18m @ 0.21% Ni, 0.02% Cu and 0.05% Co, 14 ppb (Pt+Pd), 2ppb Au; and
-
KAC0147: 4m @ 0.09% Ni, 0.02% Cu and 0.02% Co (Au-PGE assays pending).
Seven holes were completed to infill the southern Eyre Anomaly area to a notional 50 metre spacing. The tighter drill densities have proved to be highly effective in demonstrating the continuity of both fertile peridotite/olivine gabbronorite host rock, and potentially its associated Ni-Cu-Co-PGE geochemical dispersion. The Northern Eyre Anomaly infill drilling was completed to 100 metre centres. Well-developed regolith profiles were formed over the basement units. The pending assay results will guide the next steps in the area.
New Emerging Ni-Cu-Co Target - E28/2403
Broad geochemical dispersion in regolith around KAC0084 (4m @0.10% Ni, 0.05% Cu, 0.03% Co, 7ppb (Pt+Pd), 4ppb Au) was recently returned from the first suite of assays submitted from the March 2021 drilling program (Au-PGE results are still pending). Key results include:
-
KAC0139: 16m @ 0.12% Ni, 0.01% Cu and 0.02% Co; and
-
KAC0141: 4m @ 0.08% Ni, 0.08% Cu and 0.03% Co.
The assay and petrology results from the March 2021 AC program has displayed promising host rocks and pathfinder geochemistry patterns whilst acknowledging the early stage of evaluation for this emerging target area (Figure 1). Three additional holes were completed over this area in the July 2021 program with assay and petrology results pending.

Petrological Samples – E28/2403
Optical petrological analysis from selected samples from the Company’s March 2021 AC drilling program were submitted for optical petrological analysis. The results from samples located within the middle and northern sections of the Eyre Anomaly, continues to demonstrate the presence of trace levels of magmatic Ni-Cu sulphides hosted in olivine gabbronorite intrusive unit (Figure 1 and 2).
Combined with previously reported Eyre Anomaly petrology results at the southern end of the anomaly, the magmatic Ni-Cu sulphide occurrences have now been identified over a two kilometre strike length. The Ni-Cu sulphide occurrences in addition with the associated pathfinder (Ni-Cu-Co-PGE) regolith anomaly, both track along the base of an interpreted large, and highly prospective fertile olivine bearing intrusion suite.
The link between nickel sulphides with associated pathfinder geochemistry is considered highly promising. The results underscore the nickel sulphide fertility of the intrusions and its prospectivity to potentially host an economically viable deposit in the tenement area.

Historic McPherson Prospect - E63/1282
The McPherson prospect hosts a coherent Ni-Cu soil anomaly that resides directly above a north-west trending magnetic unit that could represent a favourable intrusive unit to host nickel sulphides. McPherson is located 30km southwest of Independence Group Limited’s Nova nickel mine. A recent reconnaissance trip by the Company has confirmed the area around McPherson has no outcrop and the basement units are concealed under cover. No historic drill holes were identified or surface cultural effects that may lead to false positive airborne electromagnetic responses.
GEM Geophysics, under the guidance of Russell Mortimer from Southern Geoscience Consultants, recently completed a Moving Loop Electromagnetic (MLEM-Slingram) survey over the McPherson prospect. In the mid to late time electromagnetic data, some localised features were identified that could be related to subtle bedrock conductors. Given the coincident nickel-copper geochemical and magnetic anomalies, the Company considers a small reverse circulation drilling program to test the McPherson prospect is warranted.
FUTURE WORK PROGRAMS
The Company has submitted a Program of Works (“POW”) to allow for a high-priority AC drilling program that will drill the entire southern Eyre Anomaly to 50 metre centres. Additionally, the POW submission allows for further AC drilling over the new emerging Ni-Cu-Co target around KAC0084 to extend the interpreted mineralised extents on a 100 metre grid pattern and infill to 50 metre centres on selected traverses where required.
The Company plans to recommence AC drilling in August. The results from the previous and proposed AC drilling programs will be processed to optimise the locations of an anticipated diamond drilling and downhole electromagnetics program.
CORPORATE
Constellation is in a strong financial position with cash at bank of approximately $2.94 million and no debt as at 30 June 2021. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Constellation has received a further $2.34 million from the exercise of options.

ABOUT THE FRASER RANGE TENEMENTS
The Company manages the Orpheus Project (Figure 3), comprising six tenements covering approximately 558km[2] in the Fraser Range province of Western Australia. In the Fraser Range, certain Proterozoic mafic/ ultramafic intrusion suites are prospective to host nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation. The region is currently experiencing high levels of exploration activity for nickel following the Nova, Silver Knight, Mawson and Lantern discoveries.
The Orpheus Project includes a 70% interest in three mineral exploration licences (E28/2403, E63/1281 and E63/1282) and one mineral exploration licence application (E63/1695). The granted exploration licences form part of a joint venture between the Company (70%) and Enterprise Metals Limited (“Enterprise”) (30%, ASX: ENT). Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, the Company is responsible for sole funding all joint venture activities on the tenements, which form part of the joint venture, up to completion of a bankable feasibility study.
Additionally, the Company has further 100% interests in two exploration licences (E28/2738 and E28/2957).

| why this is the case. | ||
| 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. |
No new drilling results reported in this announcement. |
| 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’). |
No new drilling results reported in this announcement. |
| 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 prospect 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. |
For Transline tenements, 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 the Company’s ASX release on the 20/01/2020. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
The Company has submitted a Program of Works (“POW”) to allow for a high-priority AC drilling program that will drill the entire southern Eyre Anomaly to 50 metre centres. Additionally, the POW submission allows for further AC drilling over the new emerging Ni-Cu-Co target around KAC0084 to extend the interpreted mineralised extents on a 100 metre grid pattern and infill to 50 metre centres on selected traverses where required. The Company plans to recommence AC drilling in August. The results from the previous and proposed AC drilling programs will be processed to optimise the locations of an anticipated diamond drilling and downhole electromagnetics program. |
