Cooper Metals Managing Director Ian Warland, commented:
The exciting results from Cooper’s initial field work at the Mt Isa East Project, reaffirms the Company’s strong belief in the potential for the Project to host significant new copper-gold discoveries. Evidence of fresh sulphide rich rocks at some of the historical mines, containing visible chalcopyrite and pyrite is encouraging evidence for the presence of potentially significant primary mineralisation under the supergene ore and the added confidence that modern geophysics should provide an excellent tool for optimising drill targets. These latest results, along with those reported by Cooper in early December, are providing early areas of focus for our initial exploration efforts. Cooper is planning further field work including geophysics and geochemistry, as a priority to better define drill targets at the Mt Isa East Project. I look forward to updating the market with the Project progress in the coming weeks.

ASX Release: Cooper Metals Limited (ASX: CPM)
Cooper Metals Limited (ASX: CPM) (“CPM” or “the Company”) is pleased to report the remainder of the assay results, from the initial reconnaissance rock chip geochemical sampling program, carried out at the Mt Isa East Project in northwest Queensland ( Figure 1 ).

Exploration Strategy and Initial Field Survey Results
Cooper is targeting Cu-Au mineralisation in the highly prospective Mt Isa Inlier. Forty-two rock chip samples were collected from historical workings and/or selected outcrops, which contained visual evidence of Cu mineralisation or appeared gossanous in nature. The reconnaissance field trip focussed on two main areas in the northeast and southwest of the Project ( Figure 2 ). Results for the northeast were released to the ASX in early December with rock chip results up to 35.3% Cu and 7.96g/t Au[1] .
Geochemical results for the southwest Project area have now been received and processed with significant Cu +/- Au mineralisation returned in rock chip sampling from several of the priority prospects. The southwest Project area includes several old Cu - Au workings including the Wonder Mine, Mount Mavis, Blue Mantle Mine and the Big Hill Mine. Most of the prospects are located on significant faults and shear zones developed along the contact between lithological units. The recent results continue to highlight the high prospectivity of the Mt Isa East Project for Cu-Au deposit potential. A summary of key results appears below.
Wonder Mine
==> picture [192 x 253] intentionally omitted <==
The Wonder Mine comprises three vertical shafts approximately 90m apart with a shallow open cut between the shafts. Mineralisation consists of iron oxide gossan over supergene copper mineralisation, with evidence of a sulphide rich zone at depth.
This mineralisation is associated with a north–northeast striking shear zone containing narrow, steeply dipping quartz veins over 1–2 m, but locally to 8 m (as patchy, thin veins) in a zone that has visible Cu for 170 m of strike. The shear zone has developed near the contact of granite gneiss to the west and metadacitic volcanics of the Bottletree Formation to the east. Importantly the sheared contact continues north for several kilometres, while it is truncated approximately 500m to the south against the Yappo Fault ( Figure 3 ).
Cooper geologists collected four rock chip samples from the Wonder Mine area with Cu assays up to 15.75%, 0.25g/t Au and Ag 8.4g/t Ag (MER028 ). MER028 was from shaft three in the south. Of interest was a sample from a small stockpile of sulphide rich fresh sheared metavolcanic rock contained 7.33% Cu, 8.9g/t Ag (MER031). The presence of sulphide rich rock containing visible chalcopyrite and pyrite, strongly suggests the mineralisation could be amenable to detection and resolution with appropriate ground geophysics prior to drill testing.
==> picture [200 x 168] intentionally omitted <==
Significantly, the Qld governments GeoResGlobe database does not record any historical drilling at Wonder Mine, nor was there any evidence on the ground for historical drill collars.

Mount Mavis Prospect
Mount Mavis prospect is located approximately 2.5 km to the northwest of Wonder mine and consists of a single shaft sunk into sheared schistose rock, possibly a metadolerite. A grab sample taken near the shaft (MER027) assayed 9.71% Cu and significantly 76.4g/t Ag with anomalous Au (0.18g/t Au) returned. The metadolerite appears to be a mafic intrusive into granodiorite rock and the extent of the dolerite is unknown as it is concealed by cover sequences.

Figure 4: Mount Mavis shaft right and rock chip sample MER027 above
Blue Mantle Prospect
The Blue Mantle prospect is a historical mine with open cut workings located approximately 5 km south of Wonder Mine. The workings extend about 66 m long by 16 m wide and 15 m deep. A mine shaft is centrally located within the pit. The deposit is a hydrothermal breccia hosted within a shear zone within Palaeoproterozoic Kalkadoon Granodiorite and Palaeoproterozoic Bottletree Formation sediments and volcanics. Mineralisation comprises malachite, azurite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, arsenopyrite occurring in quartz as vugh infill, disseminated sulphides, nodular sulphides and vein fill.
Cooper geologists collected two samples from the area including a grab sample from the open cut, that assayed 10.95% Cu, 0.26g/t Au and 2.8g/t Ag (MER032) and a sample from a small stockpile of fresh sulphide rich schistose rock containing 1.58% Cu, 0.27g/t Au and 0.8g/t Ag (MER033). Pyrite and chalcopyrite were visible in the stockpile, again indicating a sulphide rich mineralisation potentially detectable by geophysical methods.

ASX Release: Cooper Metals Limited (ASX: CPM)
Big Hill Prospect
The Big Hill prospect has the largest mine workings on the tenement and comprises a narrow open cut ( Figure 7 ), excavated to a depth of about 15 m and extending over 140 m in length. Previous workers note chalcopyrite, pyrite and malachite mineralisation associated with quartz veining in a north–south striking shear zone within amphibolites (metabasalts precursor). The amphibolites are mapped as being up to 70 m in width, but the shear zone would appear to be much wider. To the west of the amphibolite, strongly foliated metapsammites are found, while to the east, variably foliated feldspar metadacitic volcanics are located, all of which are part of the Bottletree Formation ( Figure 8 ).
==> picture [168 x 144] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [23 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 6: MER034
The strike extent of the main veined zone is about 375 m; the strike continuation to the north is unknown due to poor outcrop exposure. The floor of the open pit is now obscured beneath recent loose fill, which has limited exposure of mineralised material that is readily available for sampling. Cooper geologists took one rock chip sample from a small stockpile adjacent to the pit which assayed 2.23% Cu, 0.09g/t Au and 2.2g/t A g (MER034) ( Figure 6 ).
Historical reports record gossanous ironstone extending well north of the open cut, and Cu in soil anomalism for at least 100m north of the open cut ( Figure 8 ).

Next Steps
==> picture [23 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
Multiple mineralised Cu +/- Au occurrences within the tenure suggest there is potential for multiple structural and or lithological settings to host significant Cu-Au (±Ag) deposits. The initial reconnaissance field program has highlighted the prospectivity of the Mt Isa East Project. Encouraging confirmation of several prospects potential will now shift focus on defining the full extent of these systems through expanding the geochemical program and utilising geophysical methods to start defining this system. Systematic exploration is now required to rank all of the prospects and explore new areas ahead of drill testing. Follow up work in the short to medium term includes:
-
continued compilation and integration of historical exploration results from the project area,
-
extending the ground geochemical programs; and
-
ground electromagnetic survey at King Solomon and Python Prospects to delineate any sulphide conductors for drill testing.
The Board of Cooper Metals Limited has approved this announcement and authorised its release on the ASX.

|---|---|---|
| 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. |
Cooper Metals Ltd (ASX: CPM) is reporting a new geochemistry survey completed in October 2021 at the Company’s Mt Isa East Project. A total of 42 rock chip samples were collected by CPM with the results of 32 discussed in this document. CPM Rock chip samples were collected predominantly on selective outcrop where there were signs of mineralisation or alteration of interest. All samples were submitted to ALS Laboratory in Mount Isa for sample preparation and then forwarded to ALS Laboratory in Brisbane for analysis. Rock samples preparation completed by ALS using method CRU-21 crush of 70% passing 6mm, then PUL-23 pulverise to nominal 85% passing 75 microns. Samples were analysed using method ME- ICP61 for 33 element four acid ICP-AES. Au was analysed by 50g charge ICP-AES finish code a-Au-ICP22. Ore Grade Elements were assayed using four acid digest and MEOG62. Ore Grade Cu was assayed using Cu-OG62 |

| 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 tenements (specifically EPM 27700) referred to in this release are held by Revolution Minerals Pty Ltd, Cooper Minerals Ltd acquired 85% of the tenements and the tenements are in the process of being transferred to Cooper Minerals Ltd name. |
| 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 tenements are secure under Qld legislation. |
|
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
The historical tenure reports indicated that several companies have explored the project area over the last 50 years. Exploration has mainly consisted of geochemical sampling of rock and soil. Geological mapping and acquisition of airborne magnetics. Limited historical drilling is recorded within the Qld Government database “GeoResGlobe”. Nine RC holes were completed at the Mt Zsu Sui prospect and details of this drilling can be found within the CPM Prospectus September 2021. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The Mt Isa East Project is in the Mount Isa Inlier, which is prospective for IOCG, ISCG and shear hosted Cu-Au deposits. See body of this release for more information. |
| 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: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole down hole length and interception depth 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. |
No new drilling reported in this release, refer to CPM Prospectus September 2021 for information on historical drilling. |
| 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 |
Unless stated otherwise in the announcement all grades were reported as certified by the laboratory for the sample length as taken in the field. |
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No metal equivalents used. |

ASX Release: Cooper Metals Limited (ASX: CPM)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| 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 (e.g., ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
No new drilling reported in this release, refer to CPM Prospectus September 2021 for information on historical drilling |
| 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. |
See main body of this release. |
| 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 avoiding misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
Rock chip samples are reconnaissance in nature from selected sites to demonstrate the prospectivity of the area. The reporting 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. |
Considerable historical work was completed with mapping sampling and geophysics This work needs further review. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g., tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). |
Early-stage exploration and follow-up of identified Cu and Au anomalies including additional interpretation of geophysical data, reviews and assessments of regional targets and infill geochemical sampling of ranked anomalies in preparation for future drill testing. |
| Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
