The Board of Core Exploration Ltd (“Core”) is pleased to present its quarterly activities report for the period ended 31 December 2013 .
During the reporting period IP drill targets were identified below very high levels of silver at surface at Blueys and Inkheart Prospects on Core’s Albarta Project in the Northern Territory. Highlights include:
-
1,533g/t (1.5 kilogram per tonne) silver discovered 500m west previous high grade samples at Blueys
-
Results significantly increase the scale of high-grade mineralisation
-
IP drill targets identified below very high levels of silver at surface at Blueys and Inkheart Prospects
In South Australia, multiple high-priority IOCG drill targets have been identified from new and historic geophysical surveys on Core’s Roxby project.

Project Activity
Albarta Project, Northern Territory
(Includes CXO 100% ELs, CXO 51% JV interest ELs and CXO earning 51% JV interest ELs)
Core holds a strong strategic tenure position covering 2,000km[2] in the newly recognised, highly prospective IOCG Aileron Province 100km NE of Alice Springs in the NT (Figure 1).
Core’s tenements cover a number of significant copper (+/- silver) mineral occurrences. The Company believes that the existing evidence of mineralisation and IOCG prospectivity confirmed by Geoscience Australia verifies the strategy that Core has pursued to take an early position in the Northern Territory which is gaining recognition as Australia’s new copper and IOCG exploration hot-spot.
Core’s first exploration work on the Albarta Project is delivering exceptional results that are building a list of high- quality drill targets.

Blueys and Inkheart Prospects, EL 28136 (CXO 51% JV interest)
Soils and Geochemistry
Core’s soil surveys and data received during the reporting period confirmed silver anomalism in soils associated with copper and lead within the Bitter Springs Formation at both the Blueys and new Inkheart Prospects.
Core has collected 930 soil samples at and around the Blueys and Inkheart Prospects at 200 × 200m and 50 × 50m spacing (Figures 2-4). The program was planned to test the Blueys prospect to ascertain the level of anomalism in soils in the area of known mineralised samples, as well as to more coarsely sample the surrounding area to identify further targets.
The positive relationship of high silver, copper and lead at these prospects is supported by mineralised rock chip samples taken by Core at Blueys. Surface rock chip samples from Blueys graded up to 4,065 g/t silver (Ag), 5.5% copper (Cu) and 25% lead (Pb) (refer ASX announcement 10/09/2013).
The silver in soil anomaly at the Inkheart Prospect extends over 2,000m with a peak of 19,552ppb Ag. Scope exists to extend the length of the soil anomaly to both the north-east and south-west and thicken the width of the anomaly to the north-west. (Figures 2-4).
The recent infill soil sampling at Blueys has defined the dimensions of approximately 700m x 400m with a peak of ~ 25,000ppb. Blueys includes a sizeable footprint (500m x 250m) greater than 100ppb Ag.
These very high values are spectacular when considering that 100ppb is commonly regarded as anomalous silver in soils.
The level of silver, copper and lead soil anomalism within soils at Inkheart (Figures 2-4) is directly comparable to Blueys, which increases the probability of similar style mineralisation (as found at Blueys) but on a potentially larger scale being discovered by Core’s first drilling program being planned at Inkheart and Blueys.
Core believes the reactive carbonate characteristics of the Bitter Springs Formation to be an ideal host unit for mineralisation. At the Blueys Prospect the silver soil anomalies match the location of Bitter Springs Formation wrapping around basement granites and amphibolites.
As can be seen in Figures 4 and 5 there is a good correlation between silver and lead in soils and silver and copper in soils. The silver and lead correlation is supported by a number of rock chip samples taken by Core to test for the relationship between galena and silver. It appears that the galena is argentiferous or silver bearing, so that high values of lead in rock chips generally result in high silver values. This correlation also is borne out in the soil results.

Latest Mapping Observations
Recent geological mapping and rock chip sampling at Blueys has identified a broad zone of pervasive stock-work veining associated with malachite and azurite (copper) and galena (lead/silver) minerals within the reactive carbonate rocks (Neoproterozoic Bitter Springs Formation), common at the Blueys Prospect and Inkheart Prospect
Seventeen rock chip samples were collected from the Blueys and Inkheart prospects during the reporting period. At Blueys the (XRF) Innov-x was again used as a guide as to which units to sample looking from the sources of mineralisation indicated by the soil anomalism.
The hydrothermal siliceous units west of the old Blueys workings (western-zone) also appear to be anomalous in silver. Two significant outcrops of the hydrothermal siliceous alteration/cap have been located at Blueys the first is about 250m west of Core’s original sampling, whilst the other patches are 500m away to the west of the road (Figure 6).
Many of the quartzite and calc-silicate units appear to not be mineralised at Inkheart with the most elevated metals being found within quartz and hematite veins within the quartzite or in iron and manganese gossans within the Bitter Springs Formation.

Geophysics Program
Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical surveys during the reporting period have identified highly prospective drill targets at both the Blueys and Inkheart Prospects within the Company’s larger Albarta Project in the Northern Territory.
Core believes that these new IP targets in combination with high silver in soil and high-grade rock chip results are a very strong indicator of significant mineralisation at depth (Figures 2- 6). In anticipation of these positive results, Core has already commenced processes to enable drilling at Blueys and Inkheart as early as possible in 2014.
The bulk of the chargeable IP targets appear to be between 75-150m depth and are underlying silver (± copper ± lead) soil anomalism and mineralised rocks at surface (Figures 2-6). Drilling has never been conducted to these depths at Blueys so these targets are untested.
Induced Polarisation (IP) is a geophysical technique that involves transmitting electrical current into the ground. From measurements of the induced potential field the chargeability and resistivity of the subsurface rocks can be calculated. In comparison to Electro-Magnetics (EM), IP measures a different physical property of the rock.
In this instance, Core is utilising IP to measure the potential level of sulphides in the rock.

Albarta Project, NT : Regional Exploration
Paradise Well Prospect, EL 27369
(CXO 51% JV interest)
The Paradise Well prospects have been further investigated in conjunction with more regional exploration on EL 27369 resulting in the identification of two further copper prospect areas, making four separate prospects within the “Greater” Paradise Well area.
These four prospects are within a 3km by 3km section of the “Greater” Paradise Well area. Regional magnetics suggest similar signatures in the regional geology for another 5km to the south-southeast (into EL 28546 CXO JV tenement) which we believe is just as prospective for copper mineralisation as the currently worked portion of “Greater” Paradise Well.
Samples were collected from the four separately identified prospects (Paradise Well, Paradise Well South, New Paradise Well and Hale River).
Whilst undertaking the mapping and rock-chip sampling the company 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 spacing.
Copper Royals (Copper Queen & Copper King), 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 (Table 2 & Figure 6).
The mineralisation at Copper Queen occurs at the contact between dolomite (up dip) and a garnet + epidote banded rock and a biotite schist (down dip and appears to be stratabound.
The best mineralised unit is a semi discontinuous very coarse grained garnet + amphibolie +- pyroxene + carbonate + feldspar unit with malachite mineralisation. The mineralised horizon varies and is moderately continuous. The thickest mineralisation corresponds with a stratigraphic thickening of the dolomite unit up dip. There appears to be remobilisation into surrounding units at surface i.e. into the biotite schist and into intrusive pegmatites and rarely the dolomite.
At the Copper King and Skippy Tail Prospects two styles of mineralisation were observed.
- 1) Malachite +- azurite associated with felsic/ quartz melts within amphibolite often coarse grained textures, i.e occurred during partial melting, patchy mineralisation (i.e. Copper King)

- 2) Remobilisation of copper along more fine grained psammitic layer within calcsilicates (stratabound), amphibolites are sub parallel locally (i.e. at Skippy Tail)
Virginia Prospect, EL 29689
(CXO 100%)
At the Virginia Prospect mineralisation appears to be stratabound. Malachite +/- minor azurite mineralisation occurs within a quartz + feldspar + garnet gneiss, concentrated at the lower contact with an amphibolite unit interpreted as the Riddoch Amphibolite.
Mineralisation is most prevalent in a very coarse grained garnet + amphibolite/pyroxene + carbonate unit hosted within a felsic gneiss unit which occurs in semi continuous thin ~10cm -1-2m thick layers and pods.
Mineralisation also occurs in the basal amphibolite but to a lesser degree. There appears to be a repetition of mineralisation up sequence or in an isoclinally folded limb repetition further uphill from the first obvious mineralisation layer. There is significant potential to find thicker occurrences down dip of the surface mineralisation.

Roxby Project, South Australia, EL 4816; EL 4906 (CXO 100%)
Geophysical modelling and review of new and previous surveys during the reporting period has identified high priority drill targets which the Company considers are yet to be adequately defined and drill tested near Olympic Dam in South Australia.
Tenements in this highly sought after geological domain are receiving increased attention following the recent release of the Woomera $2m gravity survey conducted by DMITRE and Geoscience Australia and also positive announcements by BHP Billiton of it’s Wirrda Well IOCG project and OZ Minerals’ Khamsin IOCG discovery in the surrounding area (Figure 10).
Core’s neighbouring Roxby project covers a large prospective area only 10km from Wirrda Well and near BHP Billiton’s Olympic Dam mine in northern South Australia. The Roxby South tenements are located approximately 40 kilometres south of the Olympic Dam mine (Figure 10).
Core’s 100%-owned Roxby project 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 project (Figure 10).

Figure 11. Tenement scale magnetic (analytic signal) image with discussed drillhole and IOCG prospect locations, Roxby project, S.A.
Review by Core of the new and past geophysical surveys and historic drilling confirms IOCG mineralisation has been intersected in basement at a number of prospects in the region and there appears to be a good relationship between the mineralisation in these holes and the observed analytic signal filtered magnetic highs (Figure 11).
WMC’s 1980 drillhole (HHD1) at Heaton Hill prospect on Core’s EL 4906 appears to have been sited approximately 1km east of the main magnetic target based on the analytic signal filtered magnetics (Figures 11 & 12).
HHD1 intersected hematite altered granites, but no magnetic rocks were intersected and therefore did not test the magnetic target. In addition, Core’s modelling interprets that the drillhole only tested the margin of the modelled gravity. A high priority drillhole (Drillhole B) is proposed to adequately test this and other strong magnetic and gravity targets (Figure 12).

Similarly, 2.5 km south of EL 4816, drillhole HWD1 at Horse Well Prospect by WMC (Figure 11) intersected basement at 861.2m and was logged as containing “altered felsic volcanic breccia” with a zone which contained copper sulphides (bornite + chalcocite + chalcopyrite) and pyrite in a strongly veined hematite zone typical of IOCG mineralogy from 900 - 920m.
Figure 12 .
There are a number of examples in the Olympic Dam domain, famously at the Prominent Hill mine and most recently at Oz Minerals Khamsin project (Figure 10), where a major IOCG discovery has been made by drilling a few hundred meters from previous drilled holes in areas which contain high priority geophysical targets.
At Khamsin, initial vertical drillholes intersected basement comprising hematite and chlorite altered granite. Oz Minerals then drilled a much deeper, angled hole targeting both the Khamsin gravity and magnetic anomalies. The discovery drillhole hole at Khamsin intersected 440m of IOCG style mineralisation comprising hematite, chlorite and magnetite granite breccia with disseminated chalcopyrite and pyrite (refer ASX:OZL 28/11/2013).
Core believes there is similar opportunity presented by the geophysical targets on Core’s Roxby project.

Outlook – March 2014 Quarter
Albarta, N.T.
Blueys
Core is completing land access procedures to enable the required approvals for drilling at Blueys and Inkheart.
Copper King and Virginia
Results from geological mapping and rock chip sampling during the reporting period are expected from Copper King and Virginia ahead of detailed geophysics over known areas of mineralisation to identify potentially larger mineral bodies at depth. There is little evidence that geophysics was utilised previously in drill targeting so substantial geophysical anomalies identified would constitute priority drill targets.
Core believes that any broader mineralisation within structures at depth could be identified through geophysics as demonstrated by recent copper exploration successes in the region (e.g. Kidman Resources (ASX:KDR) - Home of Bullion).
Paradise Well
Very little previous exploration work has been conducted at Greater Paradise Well area (EL 27369), but the success of reconnaissance sampling and initial soils has confirmed the areas prospectivity.
It is reasonable to expect that further ground truthing and rock chip and soil sampling could identify further surface expressions or evidence of buried mineralisation within the tenement. More 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.
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 these drill targets prior to drill testing. Core is also in discussions with a number of Australian and International parties who have expressed interest in this highly prospective and sought-after Tier 1 IOCG terrain.
Yerelina, S.A.
Further reconnaissance mapping and sampling are planned during the March 2014 quarter.
