ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 23 January 2024

DECEMBER 2023 QUARTERLY REPORT

Constellation Resources Limited (“Constellation” or “Company”) presents its Quarterly Report for the period ended 31 December 2023. The Company’s focus is magmatic nickel sulphides at the Orpheus Project in the Fraser Range of Western Australia and evaluating new opportunities in the resources sector.

KEY ACTIVITIES DURING AND SINCE THE QUARTER END

  • A Moving Loop Transient Electromagnetic (“MLTEM”) survey was completed in two separate areas, named the Western and Eastern Blocks located in the southern Transline tenement portfolio.

  • The MLTEM survey covered the two highest ranked nickel and copper ultrafine soil anomalies and comprised of 10 survey lines for 125 stations readings over 23-line kilometres (Figure 1).

  • Broad late time conductive signatures were returned in both surveyed areas. The conductive responses are interpreted to be sourced within the Eucla Basin transported sequence. No clear nickel sulphide bedrock targets were defined, although the broad late time signatures may mask more discrete nickel targets directly below.

  • Testing of prospective targets with air-core drilling to occur, subject to results and interpretations from additional soil sampling.

  • Several opportunities have been reviewed and the Company will continue in its efforts to identify and acquire suitable new opportunities in the resources sector, both domestically and overseas.

  • Cash at bank of $1.6 million and no debt as of 31 December 2023, well-funded for current activities.

Orpheus Project – Transline Tenements

During the quarter, the Company carried out follow up programs to progress the positive results returned from the ultrafine soil sampling programs completed within the Transline (“Transline”) tenement portfolio of the wider Orpheus Project in the Fraser Range of Western Australia (Figure 1). The Transline tenements include E28/2738, E28/2957 (100% Constellation) and E28/2403 (70% Constellation, 30% Enterprise Metals Limited (ASX: ENT)) and E28/2403.

The results of the ultrafine program identified promising areas of elevated coincident nickel, copper and gold soil anomalism, along with other pathfinder elements, cobalt, silver, tellurium, selenium and chromite in the Eucla Basin cover sequence (Figure 1). The Eucla Basin thickness is interpreted to be 60-100m over the Proterozoic Basement units, based on a previous passive seismic survey undertaken by the Company.

The Company had previously interpreted ten priority Geophysical Targets (of which five were drill tested) at Transline from completed gravity and aeromagnetic surveys that could represent Proterozoic mafic intrusions that are concealed beneath the Eucla Basin cover sequence. Mafic intrusions in the Fraser Range are the key host unit for nickel sulphides deposits as displayed at the IGO Nova nickel mine. The nickel and copper anomalous soil results are located near Geophysical Targets 8, 9 and 10, however, importantly, no drilling has been undertaken where the soil anomalies have been identified.

The Company engaged GEM Geophysics to complete a high powered MLTEM survey over two of the highest ranked nickel and copper anomalies. The survey comprised of 10 survey lines for 125 stations readings over 23-line kilometres over the Western and Eastern Blocks respectively (Figure 1).

MLTEM results for the Western Block (Figure 2) displayed broad conductivity responses that were increasing to the south and interpreted to be related to cover/near surface features within the Eucla Basin sediments. A general NNW-SSE trend was interpreted in the broad response in the central position of the southern lines. No clear discrete bedrock conductive signatures, typical of nickel sulphides were identified.

Results of the Eastern Block (Figure 3) displayed less overall conductive cover conditions when compared to the Western Block. The conductive cover within the block were on the western margin and the northeast corner of the Eastern survey block. No distinct bedrock anomalism related to nickel sulphides was interpreted.

Figure 3: MLTEM results of Eastern Block displaying broad late time conducive responses (CH25 BZ-left, CH35 BZright)

The broad late time conductive signatures returned in both the Western and Eastern Blocks are interpreted to be within the Eucla Basin sediments transported sequence and not sourced from the underlying Proterozoic basement rocks. Broad late time electromagnetic responses in the transported sequence can reduce the effectiveness of a MLTEM survey to identify more discrete conductors related to nickel sulphides below.

Future Work Programs

Future exploration work programs at the Orpheus Project in the Fraser Range include:

  • Further infill soil sampling at Transline being considered to better define the nickel, copper, and gold anomalism to a consistent 200m x 200m grid.

  • Testing of prospective targets with air-core drilling, subject to results and interpretations from additional soil sampling. The drilling is expected to take place in the subsequent quarter, subject to heritage, pastoralist considerations and rig availability.

ABOUT THE FRASER RANGE TENEMENTS

The Company manages the Orpheus Project (Figure 4), comprising six tenements covering approximately 443km[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).

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.

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.

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.
NA
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’).

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 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
