Highlights
Core commenced RC drilling at Inkheart Prospect during the quarter to follow‐up the high grade silver‐lead mineralisation discovered by the Company in the NT.
A busy drill focussed phase of exploration is planned on key copper targets in the NT.
Overview
The Board of Core Exploration Ltd (“Core”) is pleased to present its quarterly activities report for the period ended 30 September 2014 .
Core has recently received impressive initial silver and lead results from its reverse circulation (RC) drilling during the quarter at its Inkheart Prospect in the Northern Territory. Core’s RC drilling has hit additional silver and lead intersections with values of up to 268g/t silver (Ag) and 8% lead (Pb).
A large prospective zone has been identified on the Company’s Jervois Domain project north east of Alice Springs in the NT during the reporting period. Core is currently utilising a high‐powered AEM system to define drill targets within the 20km prospective zone that has similar structural and magnetic features to KGL’s nearby copper resource at Jervois.
Core is also expecting drilling approvals for copper targets at Virginia and within the Copper Royals district ahead of a busy drill‐ focussed phase of exploration in the NT.

(CXO 100%)
Core completed the second round of drilling at Inkheart and Blueys during the quarter as an immediate follow up to the high‐grade silver‐lead results intersected in its maiden drilling program completed last quarter. A total of eighteen reverse circulation holes were drilled for a total of 2,527 metres (Figure 2 and Table 1). Seventeen of the holes were drilled at Inkheart (IKRC006‐IKRC022), which was discovered by Core earlier in 2014.
Drilling at Inkheart was designed to test ~1,500 metres of strike length at the contact of Heavitree Quartzite and Bitter Springs Formation of the Amadeus Basin stratigraphy, which has in part, been overthrust by Artnarpa Igneous Complex basement. Drill holes were located to test both soil geochemical anomalism and induced polarisation (IP) chargeable features. One hole (BLRC013) was drilled at Blueys to test deep parts of the mineralising system.

Figure 2. Drilling results and collar locations overlain on geology, Inkheart and Blueys Prospects, NT.
At the time of compiling this report assays have only been received for nine of the Inkheart holes but have included impressive silver and lead results in the first batch of assays from its recent RC drilling at the Inkheart Prospect in the Northern Territory. Core’s RC drilling has hit additional silver and lead intersections with values of up to 268g/t silver and 8% lead.
These first assay results confirm and extend the mineralisation discovered at Inkheart in the Company’s first drilling program in the NT during May this year.
Assays received to date show that silver and lead mineralisation has been hit consistently in all of the four drill sections targeting the Bitter Springs geology. Shallow higher‐grade intersections are potentially broadening at depth (Figure 3).

Assays to come are expected to extend the mineralised zones further to the south west and the mineralised zones also remain open to the north east and at depth (Figure 1 and 2).
Mineralisation has been intersected in structurally controlled veins within lower grade mineralisation and alteration halos within sedimentary layers of the Bitter Springs Formation (Figure 2).
Current and previous drill assays and downhole geology have confirmed that mineralisation at Blueys and Inkheart Prospects are likely to be part of the same mineralising system depositing metals in the Bitter Springs Formation, which reinforces the tenement wide and regional potential of the Bitter Springs Formation for the discovery of economic base‐metal deposits.
Results and Drilling
Core’s drilling has confirmed and extended the high‐grade silver and lead mineralisation discovered by Core. Significant intersections have been identified in the assays in seven of the nine holes received to date:
IKRC006: 6m @ 45.7g/t Ag & 0.8% Pb [63‐69m] 6m @ 41.6g/t Ag & 1.1% Pb [162‐168m] inc 3m @72.3g/t Ag & 2.1% Pb [162‐165m] IKRC007: 3m @ 14.8g/t Ag & 0.2% Pb [42‐45m] 6m @ 95.6g/t Ag & 2.1% Pb [111‐117m] inc 3m @ 177.0g/t Ag & 4.1% Pb [114‐117m] IKRC009:

Figure 3. Cross‐section of drillholes and prospect geology, Inkheart NT.
Inkheart Prospect Mineralisation & Geology
Mineralisation at Inkheart is structurally controlled and related to the over thrusting of the older (Mesoproterozoic) Artnarpa Igneous Complex over the younger (Neoproterozoic) Bitter Springs Formation (BSF) and (Heavitree Quartzite (HTQ) (Amadeus Basin stratigraphy). This over thrusting has provided a narrow constricted fluid pathway for metal‐bearing fluids and reactive (carbonate) lithologies of the BSF provided the trap to accumulate base‐metals and silver.
Mineralisation at Inkheart is invariably constrained to more bleached quartz veined carbonate‐rich facies within the BSF. Mineralisation is often visible as galena (lead sulphide), within strongly carbonate altered zones and are generally accompanied by increased abundance of pyrite. There is a strong association of silver with lead, however copper and zinc results are more variable. Gold has not been assayed in the initial analysis of three‐ metre composite samples.
A Level 2, 143 Hutt Street, Adelaide SA 5000 | T (08) 7324 2987| F (08) 8312 2002| E [email protected] www.coreexploration.com.au
The drilling completed so far is relatively limited and results are still pending for many holes, however, there is strong support to suggest Inkheart comprises a structurally controlled set of mineralised zones with several sets dipping between 40° to 60° to the south‐east as evidenced in holes IKRC007 and IKRC014 and on the original phase one drilled section.
Repetitious intersections of these veins along strike give confidence of their continuity where assays have been received. Holes drilled south west of the phase one traverse have assays still pending, but visible mineralisation was observed, thus significant strike extension is predicted.
To the northwest of Inkheart the underlying HTQ forms steeply rising hills. The majority of the drill holes at Inkheart were collared on the flank of the hill drilling directly into the BSF. In the holes drilled further away from the hills, over thrust basement Artnarpa Igneous Complex, comprising amphibolite and granitic gneiss was intersected. It is evident that the thrust is relatively shallow dipping at ~20°. Drilling down the thrust contact to test an IP anomaly proved difficult with both holes IKRC008 & IKRC021 were abandoned early after the holes collapsed in broad clay alteration zones on the thrust contact (Figure 2).

Jervois Project, EL’s 29579, 29580, 29581 & 29669 NT (CXO 100%)
Following a review of existing datasets and a reconnaissance field visit, an exploration model for Core’s Jervois Domain Project has been generated that highlights potential prospectivity for a repeat of the mineralised stratigraphy under shallow cover as illustrated in the solid geology interpretation and cross section (A‐B, C‐D) in Figure 4. Core’s tenure surrounds KGL’s EL 25489 where an updated global resource of 25.3 Mt @ 1.1% copper and 22.1 g/t silver was recently announced (ASX:KGL 15/09/2014).
Core’s EL 29581 is located only 500m west of KGL’s Bellbird drill intersection of 13m @ 5.75% Cu, 23.2g/t Ag, 0.32g/t Au from 20m (Hole JOC090) announced by KGL (ASX 21/07/2014).
To date, significant mineralisation has been successfully discovered in the outcropping Jervois Domain in a “J” shaped horizon that is dominated by tightly folded Bonya Schist. Due to shallow cover, only limited historical work has been undertaken elsewhere in this highly prospective district.
CXO’s exploration model in the Jervois region considers the mineralised host stratigraphy is repeated under shallow cover on the eastern side of the Jervois Domain. This interpreted repeated stratigraphy runs directly through Core’s tenements.
Core has noted KGL’s recent success using electromagnetics (EM) on their neighbouring ground to map mineralised conductors beyond known resources and at depth. The magnetic and potentially replicated mineralised system is interpreted on Core’s tenements albeit at lower amplitude reflecting a likely deeper source.
In association with CSIRO, Core has commenced acquisition of 200m line‐spaced high‐ powered VTEM Supermax™ to be flown over those parts of EL’s 29579, 29580 and 29581 situated over the Jervois Domain block (Figure 5). CSIRO as part of a proposed Research in Business (RiB) study will manage QAQC and undertake processing and inversion modelling of the survey. This new data will be further modelled in conjunction with all available existing datasets including magnetics by CSIRO factoring what is known about Jervois‐style mineralisation.

Copper Queen Prospect, EL 29689 NT
(CXO 100%)
Copper Queen is one of a number of prospective copper targets in the copper rich Copper Royals district in the NT (Figures 1 & 7).
Two induced polarisation (IP) transects were undertaken by Core at the Copper Queen Prospect to define subsurface chargeability features and drill targets associated with a 600m copper trend at the Copper Queen Prospect within the Company’s promising Albarta project, north east of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory (Figure 7). Core’s IP geophysical surveys have, for the first time, identified significant chargeable copper drill targets at Copper Queen.

Figure 7: Multiple copper prospects and previous exploration in the Copper Royals District.
The Copper Queen prospect is locally underlain by calc‐silicate gneiss, marble and bioite schist. Although the region is structurally complex, the general structural trend is east‐west and shear zones are common. Quartz‐carbonate veining may be associated with some mineralisation.

Rock chips assays of up to 20% copper and up to 72.3 g/t gold at surface have been found at Copper Queen. 31 of the 195 recent and historical surface rock‐chip samples assay more than 5% copper and 132 samples assay at or above 1% copper and average 2.0g/t gold grade (Figures 7 and 8).
Core’s eastern IP line detected a significant vertical chargeable feature directly beneath the best outcropping copper mineralisation. Previous shallow RAB drilling in this area also intersected anomalous copper and gold intervals. (I think you should mention or at least show the previous drilling, the mineralised interval and how it relates to the IP target as it is very relevant) The western IP line has also identified a number of chargeable features associated with the copper horizon, but of less intensity to those on the eastern IP line (Figure 8).
Core is expecting drilling approvals ahead of commencing RC drilling at Copper Queen and potentially other priority prospects in the Copper Royals District.
Paradise Well Prospect, EL 27369, EL 29688 & EL 28546 NT
(CXO 100%)
Further reconnaissance work has been undertaken at the Paradise Well Project. Mapping and rock chip sampling has found outcrop grading up to 8.9% copper at the newly identified Jay prospect (Figure 9).
Core’s geologists were following up on a copper in soil anomaly identified by the Company’s recent soil survey, overlying a 2km long “J” shaped magnetic feature in the Greater Paradise Well area, when they found malachite and azurite (copper minerals) replacing primary sulphides at the northern end of the target.
The same host rock, a coarse grained garnet gneiss ± iron oxide altered granite, was also associated with similar copper mineralisation found 1.5km to the south, near the hinge of the connecting magnetic “J” feature (Figure 9).
The coincident magnetic feature, copper in soil and mineralised outcrop at the Jay Prospect is due to a magnetic amphibolite that is in contact with the malachite bearing coarse‐ grained garnet gneiss.
Further reconnaissance mapping 200m east of the northern end of the Jay Prospect (North Jay Prospect (Figure 10) also identified malachite and azurite bearing veins in a fine grained granitic unit consistently occurring in a 200 × 50m area. This location has been called the Manny Prospect. Manny is located on a NW crosscutting, non‐magnetic feature.

Roxby Project, EL 4816; EL 4906 South Australia (CXO 100%)
Core’s Roxby project covers a large prospective area only 10km from BHP Billiton’s Wirrda Well IOCG project and is one of the few independent projects covering the highly prospective geology between BHPB’s Olympic Dam mine and its Wirrda Well project and Oz Minerals’ Carrapateena and Khamsin projects.
Core collected 250m‐spaced gravity and 100m‐spaced heli‐magnetics / 256 channel radiometrics over the Heaton Hill Prospect (EL 4906) during the Quarter (Figure 11).
Core continued discussions during the reporting period with potential partners to co‐fund exploration and development of this project.

Yerelina Project, EL 5015 South Australia
(CXO 100%)
Dr. Roger Taylor undertook petrological analysis of nine rock‐chip samples from Great Gladstone, East Great Northern and Emily prospects at Yerelina during the quarter. The samples were characterised with assemblages of argentiferous galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and pyrite associated with siderite and iron‐oxide alteration overprinting host meta‐siltstones. Taylor considered Yerelina is analogous with the silver‐rich Coeur d’Alaine district in Idaho.

Outlook – December 2014 Quarter
Northern Territory
Albarta,
Core is currently in the process of establishing a Research in Business Incentive (RiB) study with CSIRO. Part of this scientific study will focus on in‐depth analysis and modelling all available datasets covering the Albarta tenure. This innovative approach will seek to discriminate new target areas with prospectivity to host economic ore bodies.
Blueys and Inkheart Silver Project
Assays are still pending from the recent second round of drilling but full review and interpretation will be conducted on their receipt.
Jervois
Preliminary results of the VTEM surveys are expected by late October with final results released later in Q4‐2014.
A detailed study of Jervois including high‐level inversion processing of the new VTEM data will be undertaken by CSIRO as part of the RiB Study that is currently being finalised. This study will include analysis of other existing datasets and correlation with known mineralisation at Jervois. A substantial drilling program at Jervois is scheduled for early 2015.
Virginia, Copper Queen and Copper Royals
Land access approvals are expected this current quarter to enable RC drilling of copper targets at Virginia, Coper Queen and potentially other copper prospects in the Copper Royals district.
