Project Activity

Albarta Project, Northern Territory

(CXO acquiring 100%)

Core Exploration executed tenement acquisition agreements during the reporting period to take the Company to 100% ownership of exploration interests in its larger Albarta Project that covers over 2,000km[2] of the newly recognised, highly prospective IOCG Aileron Province, 100km NE of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory.

Core’s recent exploration has identified highly prospective drill targets at both the Blueys and Inkheart Prospects within EL 28136, the Company’s new Blueys Silver Project in the Northern Territory and this acquisition gives Core shareholders the maximum exposure to the upside as we prepare for drilling.

Given the outstanding exploration results received to date across our Albarta Tenements, the acquisition of the interests of other JV tenement holders also gives the Company the flexibility to deal with the multi-commodity exploration strategies evolving within the Albarta Project. Core’s tenements include a number of significant copper, silver, PGE, REE and uranium mineral occurrences (Figure 1).

The Company believes that the existing evidence of mineralisation and recently confirmed IOCG prospectivity by Geoscience Australia, NTGS and other companies verifies the strategy that Core has pursued to take a strong position in an area that is becoming Australia’s new exploration hot-spot.

Blueys and Inkheart Prospects, EL 28136 (CXO acquiring 100%)

Core completed analysis of its IP geophysics survey and finalised drill targets during the reporting period at the Blueys Silver Project, 100km NE of Alice Springs. Core believes that these drill targets in combination with extremely anomalous silver in soil and high-grade rock chip results are a very strong indicator of significant mineralisation at depth.

During the reporting period Core has been working to ensure all drill approvals are in place and drill contract secured to enable the Company to commence its first drilling program in the NT.

Core’s 2,500m RC drilling program at the Blueys Silver Project will be the first drilling ever to test the extremely high silver in soils discovered by Core at the Inkheart Prospect (Figure 2).

With drill approvals in place and drill contract now secured Core has commenced preparation on-site and expects drilling operations to commence within the next 2 weeks.

Paradise Well Prospect, EL 27369, EL 29688 & EL 28546 (CXO acquiring 100%)

Core has discovered, during the reporting period, three new copper prospects in the Greater Paradise Well area) within the Company’s Albarta Project (Figure 1).

Core’s previous investigation of the Paradise Well prospect in conjunction with more regional exploration during the quarter has resulted in the identification of three further copper prospect areas, making four separate prospects within the “Greater” Paradise Well area (Figure 3).

These four prospects are located within a 3km by 3km section of Greater Paradise Well. In addition, regional magnetics suggest similar signatures in the regional geology for another 5km to the south-southeast which the company believes is just as prospective for copper mineralisation as the currently explored portion of Greater Paradise Well.

Core’s new rock chip results from Greater Paradise Well reveal numerous anomalous samples (32 out of 72 samples anomalous in copper) from the four separately identified prospects of Paradise Well, Paradise Well South, New Paradise Well and Hale River (Figure 3).

New Paradise Well Prospect

This is a newly discovered zone of high tenor copper (malachite) mineralisation in a northwest (NW) striking coarse grained garnet + quartz + malachite unit which appears to be located within foliated amphibolites (Figures 3 & 4). This mineralisation could represent a skarn style setting within the amphibolite unit. Alternatively it may represent a structural setting where copper has been introduced into fractures within the amphibolite during metamorphism. To date the mineralised unit has been mapped over a distance of approximately 130m, striking NW and is commonly mineralised with copper grades up to 6.16% and gold up to 0.84g/t (Figure 4).

Paradise Well South Prospect

This prospect was originally identified by an historical rock chip sample of 3.7% copper. Further work at this prospect has found rocks with disseminated and/or stained malachite along a north-east (NE) striking structural trend discontinuously over approximately 350m. The mineralised units include coarse grained garnet + quartz unit, amphibolites and fine grained quartz + garnet + biotite gneisses with the local trends typically being NE striking. The consistent trend of ~060 degrees implies a structurally controlled, remobilised component to the mineralisation.

Hale River Prospect (formerly Paradise Well South)

Located on an outcropping hill to the south of the Hale River, the Hale River Prospect contains disseminated malachite and malachite staining of host amphibolites and quartz rich pegmatites/granites/melts sheared within amphibolites. Mineralisation identified to date is within a 40 by 40m area with a peak rock chip result of 4.38% copper.

Paradise Well Prospect

The Paradise Well prospect contains discrete structurally controlled malachite within coarse grained quartz + garnet + biotite gneiss and fine grained garnet + biotite + quartz gneisses, possibly in a litho-chemcially controlled structural setting. Malachite is observed staining or disseminated within “linear” N-S trending bodies, controlled by either structures and/or lithological contacts. Currently the highest rock chip result from the Paradise Well prospect is 2.94% copper.

Regional Exploration

Whilst undertaking mapping and rock-chip sampling Core also undertook a soil sampling program over portions of the Greater Paradise Well area that incorporates the four identified prospects, collecting over 400 samples at 200 × 200m, 100 × 100m and 50 × 50m spacings.

The Paradise Well prospect soil sampling results have identified three relatively low tenor coincident silver and copper anomalies in the soil data, providing new target areas worthy of follow up exploration and reinforcing evidence of mineralisation at Paradise Well.

Copper Royals and Virginia Prospect, EL 29689

(CXO 100%)

Core’s analysis of mapping, prospecting and soil sampling by previous explorers has confirmed a number of historical copper prospects worthy of further work on its wholly owned exploration licence, EL 29689 covering 310km[2.] .

A number of key copper prospects, the Copper Royals , are located within the area of the tenement with the most significant being Copper King, Copper Queen, Skippy Tail and MR2 (Figure 5).

Figure 5. The multiple copper prospects in the Copper Royals district overlain on magnetic image.

Ten kilometres to the east of Copper Royals, at the Virginia Prospect, malachite +/- minor azurite stratabound copper mineralisation outcrops for over 1km.

Core believes that copper-gold prospects, such as Copper Queen where 600m of visible malachite along strike and at Virginia where a similar style of mineralisation has been identified, is a potential fit for Core’s IOCG model of the Aileron Province.

Core believes that any broader mineralisation within the features at depth could be identified through geophysics as demonstrated by recent exploration successes in the province. First pass RAB drilling by previous explorers identified limited intervals of shallow copper mineralisation at Copper Royals, but there has been no previous drilling at Virginia.

IP geophysical surveys at Copper Queen and Virginia Prospects are being undertaken over the known areas of mineralisation in an attempt to identify disseminated sulphide mineralisation at depth. Any substantial chargeability anomalies will constitute drill targets. Results of the IP surveys are expected to be received in early May.

Roxby Project, South Australia, EL 4816; EL 4906 (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.

Geophysical modelling and review of new and previous surveys during the reporting period has identified high priority IOCG targets which the Company considers are yet to be adequately defined and drill tested near Olympic Dam in South Australia.

A program of geophysics including gravity, magnetic and electrical methods has been planned by Core, to define and plan drill-scale targets for IOCG mineral exploration. The program is proposed in two phases, the first being magnetic and gravity data acquisition and interpretation. The second phase would involve following up highest priority targets with electrical surveying.

The Stuart Shelf region of South Australia poses some specific challenges for geophysical exploration and drilling. The local mineralisation style is iron-oxide-copper-gold+/-uranium (IOCG+/-U) hosted in the meso-proterozoic basement posing targets with strong contrasts and hence anomalies, but the targets are often buried and masked under considerable depth of cover.

Tenements in this highly prospective geological domain are receiving increased attention following the release of the Woomera gravity survey in conducted by DMITRE and Geoscience Australia and also positive announcements by BHP Billiton of its Wirrda Well IOCG project and OZ Minerals’ Khamsin IOCG discovery in the surrounding area in late 2013.

Core is continuing its strategy to partner the development of the Roxby Project in this highly prospective and sought-after Tier 1 IOCG terrain.

Yerelina Project, South Australia, EL 5015 (CXO 100%)

Mapping and sampling has been completed during the reporting period with a view to collecting samples that will assist in identifying the mineralisation style and a genetic model of mineralisation at Core’s Yerelina Project in northern South Australia.

An important outcome of the mapping is the identification of East Great Gladstone a new mineralised fault/structure 500m east of the main Great Gladstone fault. This makes six identified prospect areas with existing workings and/or magnetic faults within the broader Yerelina project (Figures 7 & 8)

The sampling program was successful in increasing the distribution of rock chip samples across EL 5015 (20 samples taken) and increased the number of samples available for petrological investigation (10 specific samples). Ten samples have been submitted for petrological investigation, six from along the Great Gladstone fault, three from the galena rich mullock heap at Great Northern and one from the Emily historical shaft (Table 1).

The aim of the petrological study is to focus on the mineralogy of the brecciating fluid and mineralisation model interpretations. These samples have been designed to identify ore minerals and their textures and associations, alteration minerals and their textures and associations, identify the protolith of clasts within the breccia as well as identify a chronology of infill mineral pulses at the micro scale.

Outlook – June 2014 Quarter

Albarta, N.T.

Blueys Silver Project

With drill approvals in place and drill contract now secured Core has commenced preparation on-site and expects drilling operations to commence next week.

Core’s 2,500m RC drilling program at the Blueys Silver Project will be the first drilling ever to test the extremely high silver in soils discovered by Core at the Inkheart Prospect.

Copper Royals and Virginia

IP geophysical surveys at Copper Queen and Virginia Prospects are being undertaken over the known areas of mineralisation in an attempt to identify disseminated sulphide mineralisation at depth. Any substantial chargeability anomalies will constitute drill targets.

Results of the IP surveys are expected to be received in early May.

Paradise Well

Very little previous exploration work has been conducted at Greater Paradise Well but the success of reconnaissance sampling and initial soils by Core has confirmed the area is prospective for copper.

It is reasonable to expect that Core’s planned ground truthing, rock chip and soil sampling could identify further surface expressions of mineralisation or evidence of buried mineralisation within the tenement.

Additional regional scale geochemical surveys of the broader area will be utilised to narrow down and rank target areas for reconnaissance mapping in currently untested parts of the tenement. Additionally the current prospects identified will be followed up with rock chip sampling/mapping, infill soils and geophysics toward developing drill targets.

Other Prospects

Assessment of historic exploration information and geophysical data will continue and utilised to plan further exploration and geophysical surveys with the aim of prioritising for targets for drilling.

Roxby, S.A.

Core is considering plans for detailed gravity, magnetics and resistivity/IP geophysical surveys over high priority IOCG drill targets prior to drill testing. Core is continuing its strategy to partner the development of the Roxby Project in this highly prospective and sought-after Tier 1 IOCG terrain.

Yerelina, S.A.

Rock samples have been submitted for petrological investigation from along the Great Gladstone mineralised structure and also from the galena rich mullock heap at Great Northern and Emily historical shaft

The aim of the petrological study is to focus on the mineralogy of the brecciating fluid and mineralisation model interpretations. These samples have been designed to identify ore minerals and their textures and associations, alteration minerals and their textures and associations, identify the protolith of clasts within the breccia as well as identify a chronology of infill mineral pulses at the micro scale.

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results and Mineral Resources is based on information compiled by Stephen Biggins (BSc(Hons)Geol, MBA) as Managing Director of Core Exploration Ltd who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and is bound by and follows the Institute’s codes and recommended practices. He has sufficient experience which is relevant to the styles of mineralisation and types of deposits under consideration and to the activities being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr. Biggins consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

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

  • 1 The quarterly report provides a basis for informing the market how the entity’s activities have been financed for the past quarter and the effect on its cash position. An entity wanting to disclose additional information is encouraged to do so, in a note or notes attached to this report.

  • 2 The “Nature of interest” (items 6.1 and 6.2) includes options in respect of interests in mining tenements acquired, exercised or lapsed during the reporting period. If the entity is involved in a joint venture agreement and there are conditions precedent which will change its percentage interest in a mining tenement, it should disclose the change of percentage interest and conditions precedent in the list required for items 6.1 and 6.2.

  • 3 Issued and quoted securities

The issue price and amount paid up is not required in items 7.1 and 7.3 for fully paid securities .

  • 4 The definitions in, and provisions of, AASB 1022: Accounting for Extractive Industries and AASB 1026: Statement of Cash Flows apply to this report.

  • 5 Accounting Standards

ASX will accept, for example, the use of International Accounting Standards for foreign entities. If the standards used do not address a topic, the Australian standard on that topic (if any) must be complied with.
