HIGH-GRADE HALLOYSITE WITH KAOLINITE CONFIRMED BY AIRCORE DRILLING TEST WORK AT

GIBRALTAR PROJECT, SA

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Test work on samples from the maiden air-core drilling program at the Company’s 100% owned Gibraltar Project has confirmed the presence of kaolinite and high-grade halloysite; with halloysite reported in 24 of the 59 holes drilled (40%)

  • Results include up to 20% Halloysite at the end of one line, with results remaining open in all directions. Best results include:

  • GBAC023: 3m @ 19.6% halloysite, 42.4% Kaolinite from 26m

  • GBAC053: 1m @ 12.6% halloysite, 28.7% kaolinite from 23m

  • GBAC019: 3m @ 10.1% halloysite, 45.9% Kaolinite from 11m

  • GBAC012: 13m @ 5.3% halloysite, 80.9% Kaolinite from 13m

  • GBAC035: 12m @ 4.8% halloysite, 77.4% Kaolinite from 30m

  • Approval to extend drilling to the north has been received from the SA Department of Energy and Mining, with additional work programs to infill and extend drilling to the south, east and west submitted, pending approvals

  • An aggressive follow up drill campaign has commenced planning and is anticipated to commence in March 2021, aimed at expanding the footprint of this emerging deposit

Oar Resources Limited ( ASX: OAR ) ( “OAR” or “the Company” ) is pleased to advise that results from its maiden air core program at the Company’s 100% owned Gibraltar Halloysite project (“ Gibraltar ” or “ the Project ”), on the Eyre Peninsula of South Australia ( SA ) have been now been received; with results confirming the presence of kaolinite in all holes sampled, and high-value halloysite in 24 of the 59 or 40% holes drilled ( Figure 1 ).

The high proportion of Halloysite samples within the program gives the Company encouragement it can improve on this very exciting initial discovery, given the location of the Gibraltar exploration tenement proximate to other known Halloysite mineralisation in the area ( Figure 3 ).

Detailed X-Ray Diffraction (“ XRD ”) and Scanning Electron Microscope (“ SEM ”) analysis of clay particles has shown high-grade halloysite, with grades up to 20% in one drill hole located at the end of a line of drilling, with no drilling to the west or south of this high-grade intersection. The Company believes it has identified a high-grade halloysite zone at which further drilling could improve the resource potential of this exciting discovery.

Similarly, an additional high-grade halloysite ( >10% ) zone has been identified in the last hole of a ‘scout’ line of drilling approximately 2 kilometres to the south ( Figure 2 ), where additional drilling will also be concentrated.

Significant composite results from the Gibraltar Project are presented in the table below ( Table 1 ), with a full list of drillhole collar details and sample analyses provided in Appendix 1.

The first phase drilling campaign was designed around a single halloysite occurrence in drilling noted from an historic report. Based on this single comment, the maiden drilling campaign, comprising 2,044 metres drilled was completed comprising a northern block of drilling on a nominal 100m x 100m grid pattern around the historic drill hole, widening out to 200m x 200m drill pattern to the south, and two ‘scout’ lines of drilling further to the south again ( Figure 1).

Having recently received final approvals from the South Australian Department of Energy and Mining, the Company now intends to commence an aggressive second drill campaign to extend the “halloysite zone” with sufficient results to be able to advance to a maiden resource calculation for the project. The Company is fully funded to complete this next phase drilling program and with a suitable drilling contractor already identified, drilling is anticipated to commence in March 2021.

The current area of drilling covers an area of just 5km[2] of the total 317km[2] area of the Gibraltar Project tenement EL6505 ( Figure 3 ), which provides the Company with the dominant land position in the region.

Logging of drill cuttings showed the development of a consistent layer of kaolinitic saprolite in the northern area, with several deeply incised channels containing lignite clays encountered on the scout lines to the south. Test work has confirmed strong kaolin development within the saprolite with over 85% kaolin detected in a number of samples[1] .

Detailed test work undertaken by the CSIRO, the University of SA and Bureau Veritas included size fraction analysis to determine the percentage of sample reporting to the -45 micron size fraction; XRF analysis to determine Fe2O3, Al2O3, Ti2O3 and SiO2 content; XRD and SEM to determine clay mineral species (halloysite and kaolinite), and reflectance analysis.

Results from the XRD and SEM analysis for the high-value halloysite mineral has highlighted specific ‘pods’ where halloysite has developed within the kaolinite material, with these pods remaining open in all directions ( Figure 2 ). Significant composite results from the Gibraltar Project are presented in the table below ( Table 1 ), with a full list of drillhole collar details and sample analyses provided in Appendix 1 .

Table 1 : Significant halloysite intersections[2] - Gibraltar Halloysite Project, South Australia

The test work results have confirmed very good percentage of kaolin in the -45um size fraction ( Table 3 ) . The XRF analysis has shown moderately high Fe2O3 content which has resulted in a discolouration of some of the kaolinite clays to a cream/ white colour. While this has no apparent detrimental effect on the high-value halloysite grades, the reflectance of the kaolinite is reduced as a result of this iron oxide staining, with the ISO-B value inversely proportional to the Fe2O3 content.

Clear spatial trends in the Fe2O3 distribution can be seen in the data from this initial drilling, indicating that the discolouration of the kaolinite may also be confined to distinct pods; suggesting that additional drilling may define areas of lower iron, and hence brighter kaolinite clays.

Halloysite is a rare derivative of Kaolinite that commands a significantly higher contract price in industrial applications. The Company will therefore focus its efforts on determining the Halloysite mineralisation component as a priority over the Kaolinite found at Gibraltar. Halloysite has potential in multiple applications which include controlled release drug delivery, carbon capture[3] , premium

Oar Resources GM of Exploration Mr Tony Greenaway commented : “These results from the maiden air core drilling program at our Gibraltar Project are extremely pleasing, having confirmed the presence of the high-value halloysite mineral within the kaolinitic saprolite. Our test work results are showing multiple pods within the kaolinite where halloysite is present. Our highest-grade result of 20% halloysite occurred in the last hole of a line of drilling, with no drilling to the west or south, leaving this high-grade pod completely open in those directions.”

“This drilling program was undertaken on the basis of a single comment noting halloysite in a historic report; the fact that we now have halloysite confirmed in 24 of the 59 holes drilled is an excellent result and gives the Company a high degree of confidence in the potential of the Gibraltar Project’. We will now look to extend out drilling to the north, south east and west with over the coming months. This new drilling campaign will be fast tracked to allow OAR to move into resource definition as quickly as possible”

APPENDIX 2

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data (Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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 (e.g. ‘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
(e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.

2020 OAR: Aircore drilling consisted of vertical
holes to industry standard completed by Oar
Resource Ltd (“OAR”) generating individual 1m
samples. A total of 59 holes for 2,043m were
completed at the Gibraltar Project in late 2020.
Sample compositing was carried out on site by
OAR representative’s

Aircore 1m samples were composited based on
perceived reflectance levels. Composite intervals
range from 1-4m
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details
(e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core
is oriented and if so, by what method,
_etc). _

OAR drilling is completed using industry
standard practices. AC drilling is with a blade
bit.

All drill collar positions are recorded using
handheld GPS.
Drill
sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery andgrade and whether

Air core drilling samples are not weighed,
however smaller samples (on a relative
basis) are noted in drill logs

No indication of sample bias with respect to
recovery has been established.

13

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate
Mineral
Resource
estimation,
mining
studies
and
metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.

OAR geological logging is completed for all holes
and is representative across the ore body. The
lithology, alteration, and characteristics of drill
samples are logged on hard copy logs and
entered into excel using standardised geological
codes.

Logging is both qualitative and quantitative
depending on field being logged.

All drill-holes are logged in full.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.

If
non-core,
whether
riffled,
tube
sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality
and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for
all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in situ
material collected, including for instance
results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to
the grain size of the material being
sampled.

Spear
sample
compositing
consisted
of
contiguous 1m drill samples up to 5m in total
length, based on drill logs and visual estimation of
whiteness of material. Sample composites were
prepared with the aim of including kaolinised
saprolite of similar quality within each composite,
although in some cases narrow bands of
discoloured kaolinised saprolite were included in
the composite.

Composite Sample took place on site by OAR
respresentatives

Samples were processed by laboratory Bureau
Veritas. Sample weights were recorded before any
sampling or drying. Samples are dried at low
temperature (60C) to avoid destruction of
halloysite. The dried sample was then pushed
through a 5.6mm screen prior to splitting.

A small rotary splitter is used to split an 800g
sample for sizing.

The 800g split is then wet sieved at 180µm and
45µm. The +180 and +45µm fractions are filtered
and
dried
with
standard
papers
then
photographed. The -45µm fraction is filtered and
dried with 2micron paper.

A small portion of the -45µm material is split for
XRF analysis.

At CSIRO, Division of Land and Water, Urbrae,
South Australia testing was conducted on selected
-45µm samples by the method below.

The dried -45µm sample was analysed for
quantitative elemental and mineralogical testing
by XRD. A 2 gram subsample was micronised,
slurried, spray dried and a spherical agglomerated
sample prepared for XRD. Quantitative analysis of
the XRD data was performed by CSIRO using
SIROQUANT and Halloysite:Kaoliniteproportions

14

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
determined using profile fitting by TOPAS,
calibrated by SEM point counting of a suite of 20
standards.

ISO Brightness and Lab* colour of the dried -
45micron kaolin powder were determined
according to TAPPI standard T 534 om-15 using by
the University of South Australia, using a
Hunterlab QE instrument.
Quality
of
assay data and
laboratory
tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness
of
the
assaying
and
laboratory
procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and
model,
reading
times,
calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures
adopted
(e.g.
standards,
blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision
have been established.

The analytical method and procedure were as
recommended by the laboratory for exploration
and are appropriate at the time of undertaking.

As this is early-stage exploration with a wide
variation in sample results the Company has not
inserted field control samples in the regular
stream
of
sampling.
This
is
considered
appropriate for early-stage exploration. The
laboratory inserts a range of standard samples in
the sample stream the results of which are
reported to the Company.

The laboratory uses a series of control samples to
calibrate the XRD and XRD instrumentation.
Verification of
sampling
and
assaying

The
verification
of
significant
intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification, data
storage
(physical
and
electronic)
protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Sample and assay data from aircore drilling have
been compiled and reviewed by the OAR GM
Geology, who was involved in the logging and
sampling of the drilling at the time.
Location
of
data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drill holes (collar and down-hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.

Drill holes were located using a hand held GPS
with +/- 5m accuracy

The grid system used is MGA94 Zone 53 for South
Australia
.
Data
spacing
and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.

Whether
the
data
spacing
and
distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree
of
geological
and
grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Aircore drilling has been completed on a 100m x
100m drill spacing over areas of previous drilling,
and a nominal 200m x 200m drill spacing
elsewhere.

15

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
Orientation of
data in relation
to
geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key

Shallow auger sampling has been completed
over the Gibraltar Project area by Monax

contained within company reports
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style
of mineralisation.

Kaolin occurrences, such as that seen on the
Gibraltar Project, developed in situ by weathering
of the feldspar-rich basement.

The resultant kaolin deposits are sub-horizontal
zone of kaolinised granite resting with a sharp
contact
on
unweathered
basement.
The
kaolinised zone is overlain by loosely consolidated
Tertiary and Quaternary sediment and silcrete.

Halloysite is a rare derivative of kaolin where the
mineral occurs as nanotubes. The kaolin
encountered at the Gibraltar Project contain
variable amounts of naturally occurring halloysite
within the kaolinite saprolite.

Exploration
Results,

techniques,
maximum
and/or
minimum
grade
truncations (e.g. 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.

Reported summary intercepts are weighted
averages based on length.

All samples were selected for XRD analysis at
CSIRO

No maximum or minimum grade truncations have
been applied.

No metal equivalent values have been quoted.
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’). _

Drillhole angle relative to mineralisation has
been
almost
perpendicular,
with
vertical
drillholes through flat horizontal mineralisation
related to the regolith. Generally, the strata-
bound intercepts are close to true width
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.

Appropriate maps and tabulations are presented
in the body of the announcement.
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.

Comprehensive results are reported in the body
of the announcement as tabulated in Appendix 1.
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
