ASX ANNOUNCEMENT ASX: CXO

30[th] August 2017

Drilling of New Targets Near High Grade Grants Lithium Resource Commences

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Drilling programs have commenced on new pegmatite targets close to the highgrade Grants Lithium Resource within Core’s Finniss Lithium Project near Darwin, NT

  • Multiple new pegmatite targets in the Grants area identified from a combination of ground penetrating radar technology and RAB/Aircore drilling

  • Additional shallow RAB drilling to refine pegmatite geometry has commenced this week

  • RC drilling of priority pegmatite targets around Grants to commence immediately following RAB drilling

  • RC drill assays expected 4-weeks after completion of drilling

Core Exploration Ltd ( ASX: CXO ) (“ Core ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to announce that drilling of new pegmatite targets close to the high-grade Grants lithium resource has commenced, within the Company’s 100% owned Finniss Lithium Project near Darwin in the NT (“ Finniss ”).

The drilling program will consist of approximately 2,500m of RAB drilling and will immediately be followed by RC drilling of priority pegmatite targets identified from the RAB program.

The pegmatite targets for this program were identified from a combination of ground penetrating radar technology and shallow RAB/Aircore drilling.

Core initiated a trial of the innovative Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system at Finniss during July and August. Trial results were deemed sufficiently encouraging to pursue a small roll-out in several areas around Grants.

A series of NS-trending sub-vertical features similar to the Grants Pegmatite have been identified in the GPR data to the west of Grants (Figure 1). These features correlate well with previous RAB drilling that has picked up near-surface pegmatites at Grants West (Figure 2).

Core is commencing RAB drilling this week to test these targets and RC drilling of priority pegmatite targets is planned to commence immediately after completion of RAB.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey

Loza Radar Australia was contracted to undertake a trial of its innovative GPR system at Finniss in two stages over July and August. In all, 69 lines of 100-500m length (25 km total) were rolled out at various prospects at Finniss, including Grants and Grants West. Various configurations were trialed to establish the optimal outcome. Only the data from July has been processed and interpreted and is presented in this announcement. Results of the August survey are expected in the coming week.

The GPR is able to detect the near surface features of Grants Pegmatite and in some cases, is also able to penetrate down to 200m to image the lithified pegmatite body in contact with sediment host rocks. The data has been validated with the previous RC drilling at Grants.

During the interpretation process, the data for the Grants prospect, extending to Grants West, was integrated with RAB data so as to map possible subsurface pegmatite targets outside of the current resource.

The GPR data correlates well with the known high-grade ore body at Grants, and although not always consistent, the data often supports surface showings of weathered pegmatite encountered in Aircore/RAB drilling (Figures 1 and 2).

GPR data also support the theory that the Grants pegmatite plunges to the south and may have a subjacent feeder body to the SE. This concept will also be drill tested in due course.

Core expects that further new targets will be generated once the August GPR data has been processed and interpreted, including north and south of Grants.

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.
Drillinggeology data reported herein relate to various campaigns of
aircore and RAB drilling in the Grants area of EL29698.
•Sub surface chip samples have been collected by Rotary Air Blast
(RAB) drilling and Aircore (AC) drilling techniques.
•Drill holes, if inclined, are oriented approximately perpendicular to the
interpreted strike of the mineralised trend.
•AC/RAB drill spoils are not split from the cyclone and only a primary
sample is collected in green bags, and these weigh 10-15 kg. Lab
samples are speared directly from the spoils bags.
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.).
Drillingtechniques used at EL29698 and reported herein are industry
standard.
•AC drilling technique utilises a 3 and ¼ inch bit and NQ2 rods. The
AC rig is a Wallis Mantis mounted on a Marooka all-terrain base. It
utilises a low pressure compressor of maximum 150 psi.
•RAB drilling technique utilises a 3 and ¼ inch bit and NQ2 rods. The
RAB rig is a Hydco A30 mounted on a 4x4 base. It utilises a low

pressure compressor of maximum 250 psi.
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 and grade
and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
Drill samplerecoveries are visually estimated and recorded for each
metre. To date sample recoveries have averaged >95%.
•Contamination is monitored regularly. No issues have been
encountered in this program.
•The cyclone is regularly cleaned, especially in wet intervals.
•Drill collars are sealed to prevent sample loss and holes are normally
drilled dry to prevent poor recoveries and contamination caused by
water ingress. Wet intervals are noted in case of unusual results.
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.
•Standard sample logging procedures are utilised by the company,
including logging codes for lithology, minerals, weathering etc.
•Geology of the RAB/AC drill chips is logged on a metre basis with
attention to main rock forming minerals within the pegmatite
intersections, although on most occasions the drilling takes place in
the weathered zone where the pegmatite mineralogy is not able to be
determined.
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.
•AC/RAB samples are collected exclusively via a spear and weight 3-5
kg. No assay data is reported here, as it weathered and therefore
does not provide any direct indicator of the grade of fresh material at
depth. It is useful only for mapping and confirming the presence of
pegmatite.
•Most samples are dry, but wet or damp samples are recorded.
•Duplicate sample regime is used to monitor sampling methodology
and homogeneity.
•A powder and/or sieved chip tray for the entire hole is completed for
both RAB and AC.

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

Exploration Manager.
•All field data is entered into excel spreadsheets (supported by look-up
tables) at site and subsequently validated as it is imported into the
centralized CXO Access database.
•Hard copies of survey and sampling data are stored in the local office
and electronic data is stored on the Core server.
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.
•All coordinate information was collected using hand held GPS utilizing
GDA 94, Zone 52.
•AC holes are all vertical, owing to the configuration of the rig.
•RAB holes are both inclined and vertical.
•Radar data are collected along lines oriented east-west,
approximately perpendicular to strike. Their position is tagged very 25
m and at ground control points (e.g., drill collars) by handheld GPS,
which is sufficient for this level of detail.

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.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
•Drill hole spacing varies from prospect to prospect, but generally of
the order 50-100m along strike and typically 20m across strike.
Limited down-dip information is determined, because the drilling
technique is shallow.
•Radar data was recorded every linear 0.5m and/or 1.0m on each
east-west oriented survey line, which range between 50 and 100m
apart north-south. Depending on the system setup, the vertical depth
of recording information ranges between: 0 and 50m, 0 and 100m,
and 0 and up to 250m. All three setups were trialed at Finniss, with
the setup at each specific target during the production phase
determined according to the prevailing cover type (e.g., blacksoil,
bedrock, laterite) present in that area and how the GPR responded to
these during the trails.
•This data is not being used to support a resource.
•Refer to map in report for position of Radar lines and drillhole collars.
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 mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a
sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.
•Drilling and Radar lines are typically oriented perpendicular to the
interpreted strike of mineralisation as mapped or predicted by the
geological model, which in this case is NS.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security. •Company geologist supervises all sampling and subsequent storage
in field.
Audits
or

•In 1903 the Hang Gong Wheel of Fortune was found and 109 tons of
tin concentrates were produced in 1905. In 1906, the mine produced
80 tons of concentrates, but it was exhausted and closed down the
following year after a total of 189 tons of concentrates had been won.
•By 1909 activity was limited to Leviathan and Bells Mona mines in the

operated the Greenbushes Tin and Tantalite (and later spodumene)
Mine in WA. Greenbushes Tin Ltd entered into a JV named the
Bynoe Joint Venture with Barbara Mining Corporation, a subsidiary of
Bayer AG of Germany.
•Greenex (the exploration arm of Greenbushes Tin Ltd) explored the
Bynoe pegmatite field between 1980 and 1990 and produced tin and
tantalite from its Observation Hill Treatment Plant between 1986 and
1988.
•They then tributed the project out to a company named Fieldcorp Pty
Ltd who operated it between 1991 and 1995.
•In 1996, Julia Corp drilled RC holes into representative pegmatites in
the field, but like all of their predecessors, did not assay for Li.
•Since 1996 the field has been defunct until recently when exploration
has begun on ascertaining the lithium prospectivity of the Bynoe
pegmatites.

(Bynoe Pegmatite Field; NTGS Report 16). The main pegmatites in
this belt are: Mt Finniss, Grants, BP33, Bilato’s (Pickett’s) and Hang
Gong.
•The Finniss pegmatites have intruded early Proterozoic shales,
siltstones and schists of the Burrell Creek Formation which lies on the
northwest margin of the Pine Creek Geosyncline. To the south and

intruding pegmatites is generally accepted as being the Two Sisters
Granite to the west of the belt, and which probably underlies the
entire area at depths of 5-10 km.
•Lithium mineralisation has been identified as occurring at Bilato’s
(Pickett’s), Saffum’s 1 (amblygonite), and more recently at Grants,
BP33, Ah Hoy, Far West and Hang Gong (spodumene).
•The Burrell Creek Formation increases in metamorphic grade
westward from sub-greenschist facies siltstone, phyllite and siltstone,
to upper greenschist facies gneiss and schist. Sedimentary features
and lithologies, typical of the lower grade units of the Burrell Creek
Formation, can be recognised until the sillimanite isograd is
approached, thereafter these features are obliterated by
recrystallisation.

Informatio
n
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a tabulation of the following information
for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from
the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
•Drill hole collars are depicted on the map figure in this report. The
precise coordinates and downhole data (via a Table) are not deemed
necessary because the drill hole geology is quite simple, containing
pegmatite or not. This level of detail is sufficient for the regional
interpretation of pegmatite surface footprint outlined in this report,
including on the map. No down-dip information has been established
at this stage. Infill RAB is currently underway to establish this and
help plan RC drilling to test targets at depth.
•Previous CXO deep drilling at Grants has been reported in earlier
ASX announcements, but there are no deep holes in the focus area
of this announcement, Grants West.

known pegmatite bodies. They returned in August 2017 to undertake
production-scale data acquisition, over a broader set of targets
generated from other datasets.
•Loza Radar has processed the data using their own software (Krot),
to apply filters that best pick out the features of interest.
•The Loza Radar system is a 4th generation enhanced Ground
Penetrating Radar. Loza Radar uses GPRplus, a ground scanning
device designed for studying subsurface structure at depths from a
few metres to hundreds of metres. Data collection is based on
radiation of ultra-wideband electromagnetic pulses penetrating into
the subsurface medium and registration of the reflected signals born
at the medium interfaces or buried objects. Reflections are the
primary result of a change in density and/or a change in
electromagnetic permeability.
•The transmitter uses a high-pressure hydrogen discharge, which
operates in standalone mode without synchronization. Traditional
ground penetration radar's mechanics have been completely revised:
pulse transmitter power has been increased by a minimum of 100,000
times, and the stroboscopic transformation replaced to direct
detection of signal. The antennas use RC-Loaded dipoles. This
ensures the exclusion of interference in the received signal that
suppresses weak signals, whilst also permitting the reception of
strong signals and avoids the requirement for connecting lines (which
also introduce strong interference from the transmitter). Only the Low
Frequency Systems were applied at the Finniss Project where the 6
metre antenna was used with the low frequency.
•The horizontal resolution, i.e. the spacing of the 'radar-shots' taken
along a profile is chosen according to the required scale of the target

objects and in discussion with the client. In this case, the shot spacing
was 0.5m and/or 1.0m depending on the depth range intended, with
varied lengths of survey lines due to the uncertainty of the dimensions
of the targets on the first passes. The system identifies structures at
all angles, including the vertical structure as well as voids, changes in
rock density caused by fracturing, geological changes or water. This
system shows any structure as the signal array returns from both the
vertical and horizontal structures. Additionally, the Radar operator can
either manually operate the 'firing switch' or it can be set to automatic.
The 'shot' spacing is determined by the client's objective; and also by
the speed of the traverse.
•At each measurement point, the arrival time of the signal is recorded
from the geological boundaries or structure/feature of interest. The
profile 'Radargram' is formed in real time on the operator's console
LCD screen in the form of a binary plot depicting radar return time of
the subsurface reflections. Travel time of the EM wave depends on
the reflector depth and propagation velocity, this varies along the
profile giving a picture of subsurface layered structures. Results of the
survey are stored in the console memory which can be instantly
downloaded into a normal laptop computer for immediate review of
data quality and points of interest whilst still in the field. This real-time
capability means that the operator can mark features of interest as
the profile is taken. The downloaded data is analysed on the laptop
using proprietary software.
•The profile lines are georeferenced and displayed as Radargrams
with filters applied in the Loza Radar software (Krot).
