ASX Announcement | ASX: CPM 9 December 2021

Further strong assay results from Mt Isa East Cu-Au Project

Highlights

  • Rock chip assays have been received from the southwest of Mt Isa East Project building on the previously announced results from the northeast, which included assays up to 35.3% Cu and 7.96 g/t Au[1 ]

  • New rock chip assays up to 15.75% Cu (MER028) from hydrothermal breccia at the historical Wonder mine

  • Wonder Mine has evidence of fresh sulphides mined at depth, assaying up to 7.33% Cu (MER031) with old workings extending over 100m strike length along extensive north-south shear zone, which remains open along strike

  • Rock chips up to 10.95% Cu, 0.26g/t Au and 2.8g/t Ag (MER032) returned from the Blue Mantle historical open cut, which also has evidence of fresh sulphides mined at depth, including 1.58% Cu from rock chip (MER033)

  • Confirmation of significant historical workings at Big Hill Mine with ~140m long open-pit development, with 2.23% Cu in rock chips (MER034) taken from spoil material

  • Numerous Cu +/- Au occurrences at Mt Isa East suggest strong potential for multiple favourable structural and or lithological settings to host significant CuAu mineralisation

  • Ground EM and further geochemical sampling planned for King Solomon and Python prospects

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 ).

==> picture [24 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

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.

About Cooper Metals Limited

Cooper Metals Ltd (ASX: CPM) is an ASX-listed explorer with a focus on copper and gold exploration. CPM aims to build shareholder wealth through discovery of mineral deposits. The Company has three projects all in proven mineralised terrains with access to infrastructure. The Projects are detailed briefly below:

Mt Isa East Project (Qld)

Cooper Metal’s flag ship Mt Isa East Cu-Au Project covers ~1300 sq.km of tenure with numerous historical Cu-Au workings and prospects already identified for immediate follow up exploration. The Mt Isa Inlier is highly prospective for iron oxide copper gold (IOCG), iron sulphide copper gold (ISCG) and shear hosted Cu +/- Au deposits.

Yamarna Gold Project (WA)

The Yamarna Gold Project located along strike from Gold Roads 6.16 Moz world class Gruyere Gold Deposit (ASX: GOR) has an extensive length of untested Dorothy Hills Shear Zone that was important in the formation of Gruyere gold deposit located ~10 km to the southeast of Cooper’s tenements.

Gooroo Project (WA)

Lastly the Gooroo Cu and or Au Project covers newly identified greenstone belt ~20 km from Silver Lakes (ASX: SLR) Deflector mine. The 26 km expanse of covered greenstone belt has had almost no exploration and was only added to government geology maps in 2020 after reinterpretation of geophysical data.

 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.

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.
