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).

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. |

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Result
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The exploration results in this report relate to Exploration Licenses E28/2403 E28/2738. The tenements are in good standing and there are no known impediments. E28/2403 forms part of a joint venture between Constellation Resources Limited (70%) and Enterprise Metals Limited (30%, ASX: ENT). Under the terms of the JV agreement, Constellation Resources is required to sole fund all activities on these tenements until completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study. E28/2738 and E28/2957 are 100% owned by Constellation Resources Limited. South of the Transline, tenements E28/2403 and E28/ 2738 are covered by the Ngadju Native Title Claim. A portion of tenement E28/2403 and all of tenement E28/2738 are within the Boonderoo Pastoral Station |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Limited regional exploration on E28/2403, E28/2738 was undertaken by previous companies and included, geophysical, calcrete geochemical surveys and limited drilling. Historical geophysical surveys included an airborne magnetic and isolated ground electromagnetic traverses. Geochemical surveys included soil and auger sampling. WAMEX Open file search of historic drilling indicate two RC holes were completed in the area. Both holes are located outside current target areas. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The targeted deposit types and styles of mineralisation are nickel- copper-cobalt (Ni-Cu-Co) magmatic sulphide systems such as the Nova- Bollinger deposit and Tropicana style gold mineralisation. |
| 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: oeasting and northing of the drill hole collar oelevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar odip and azimuth of the hole odown hole length and interception depth ohole 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. |
NA |
11
23 January 2024
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| 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’). |
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. |
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 |
| 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. Passive Seismic surveys was historically undertaken by Constellation to estimate cover thickness in the MLTEM areas. The Company has not drilled or aware of any drill holes within the MLTEM survey areas MLTEM survey data acquisition was undertaken by geophysical contractors GEM using a HT JESSY DEEP SQUID B-field sensor in a Slingram configuration. Slingram offset was set at 200m south of loop centre, transmitter output was at 100 amp using a 400x400m (single turn) loop. Line spacing was 200m with stations every 200m along line. Frequency was set at 0.25Hz. MLTEM data was interpreted by Russell Mortimer from Southern Geoscience Consultants. Processing |
