Encouraging gold results with high silver values at Rocky River-Uralla Project

  • 13.39m @ 1.45g/t Au, 11.8g/t Ag from 13.79 - 27.69m (ZK0701)

  • 10.35 metres @ 71.86g/t Ag from 15.85-26.20m (ZK0901)

  • 2 diamond rigs drilling 1.55km long gold-bearing structure

  • Mineralisation confirmed to 113m downhole

  • Further holes to test mineralisation at 200m and 500m vertically

  • Fully funded by Joint venture partner, SUGEC, funding $2m exploration program on EL 7491 to March 2014

  • Pinnacle Drilling engaged to operate 3[rd] drill rig (as part of a further $2 million funding)

Sovereign Gold geologists consider the Lachlan-New England Fold Belts of NSW to have the ideal setting for Intrusion-Related Gold Systems (IRGS), a relatively newly recognised gold mineralisation style. IRGS are usually large tonnage; low-grade deposits associated with granitic style intrusions. Sovereign Gold geologists specialise in identifying the distinguishing diagnostic characteristics of IRGS.

Sovereign Gold has identified and acquired tenement portfolios that they consider are prospective for IRGS.

The Hobbs deposit at Mount Adrah appears to be a classic example of IRGS with extensive near homogenous gold mineralisation grade in monzodiorite rocks. Sovereign Gold geologists consider that the Rocky River-Uralla Project is another example of a large IRGS.

The results to date at the Rocky River-Uralla Project have identified a 1.55km strike length and drill intersections including 13.9m of 1.45 g/t Au and 11.8 g/t Ag, providing strong evidence of this mineralisation style.

Whilst the Mount Adrah Hobbs deposit is giving strong indications of developing into a significant IRGS gold deposit, it is important to recognise that the Rocky River-Uralla Project was Sovereign Gold’s cornerstone asset and has considerable potential.

Sovereign Gold is exploring the Rocky River-Uralla Project concurrently with the Mount Adrah Hobbs deposit.

EL 7491 currently under joint venture with SUGEC who are spending $2 million on EL 7491 to March 2014 (earning 30%), as part of a total exploration funding commitment of $21 million through J/V and MOU on 10 tenements where Sovereign Gold Gold has a majority interest.

Encouraging Results

A 2,500m multiple hole diamond drilling program is underway on a 1.55km long gold-bearing structure in EL 7491 (ASX: 29 April 2013; 5 August 2013). This newly discovered mineralisation is part of the large Rocky River-Uralla Intrusion-Related Gold System.

Following detailed geological mapping and geochemical and geophysical surveys a series of close-spaced north-east dominant mineralised structures and subsidiary semi-orthogonal structures that cut north-west trending felsic dykes were discovered. One of the mineralised shear zones has been traced for 1.55km and is the current focus of drilling.

Martins Shaft-style mineralisation has been intersected in the felsic dykes. Also drilling has revealed brecciation and silica-sulphide flooding accompanied by tongues of mineralised felsic dykes in mineralised metasediments along the 1.55km long structure.

This extensive mineralised shear zone fault system may represent a high-level fracture fluid plumbing system developed above a potential IRGS Hobbs-style pipe.

The drilling program is testing the gold grades laterally and vertically along the 1.55km long gold-bearing structure to establish a JORC compliant resource.

Results have been received for four holes (ZK0301, ZK0701, ZK0003 and ZK0901) which have been completed and assayed since the update of 5 August 2013.

Conceptual Target : 1.55km long north-east trending shear structure (main fault zone shown in blue) surrounded by altered fractured zone (green). The main fault structure is asscociated with and cut by oblique faults. Geochemical and rock chip mapping has located nearby (within 500m) parallel alteration structures with similar mineralisation. The structures are flooded with felsic dykes and sulphides that may be derived from a small pipe-like pluton at depth. The current target being drilled and the parallel and oblique strcutures occur from surface and have potential for an open-cut gold resource.

Sampling tech-
niques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random
chips, or specific specialised industry standard measure-
ment tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation,
such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF in-
struments, etc). These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

½ Core NQ or BQ core
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample rep-
resentivity and the appropriate calibration of any meas-
urement tools or systems used.

Consistent cut distance relative to mark up or orientation line
along core
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Ma-
terial to the Public Report.

Fire Assay Gold. Gold – Method Au-AA25, Au is predominantly
held in sulphides within disseminated sericite-sulphide altera-
tion. Multielement Analysis – Method ME-MS61. Analyses by
Australian Laboratory Services Pty. Ltd. (ALS).
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 pul-
verised 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 (eg subma-
rine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed infor-
mation.

Sawn half NQ and BQ core with sample lengths ranging from
0.1 metres to 2.51metres was sent to ALS laboratories and
was pulverised to produce a 30g charge for fire assay
(Au_AA25), and 4 acid digestion for 48 element ICP-AES and
ICP-MS analysis (ME-MS61)

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Sawn half NQ and BQ core with sample lengths ranging from
0.1 metres to 2.51metres was sent to ALS laboratories and
was pulverised to produce a 30g charge for fire assay
(Au_AA25), and 4 acid digestion for 48 element ICP-AES and
ICP-MS analysis (ME-MS61)
Orientation of data
in relation to geolog-
ical structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this
is known, considering the deposit type.

Drill holes are designed to intersect mineralised structure
normal to strike and are recorded as down-hole lengths.
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.

Drill holes are designed to intersect mineralised structure
normal to strike and are recorded as down-hole lengths. The
drill hole azimuth and angle relative to the main mineralised
structure is not considered to have introduced sampling bias.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security.

Current core samples are securely stored at a private facility
before express overnight freight to Australian Laboratory Ser-
vices Pty. Ltd. (ALS) Brisbane. Sample movements and securi-
ty documented by ALS Chain of Custody.

Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging tech-
niques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg
cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Mate-
rial and should be stated.

Uncut
`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.

All aggregate intercepts detailed on tables for all diamond drill
hole
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equiva-
lent values should be clearly stated.

None used
Relationship be-
tween mineralisa-
tion widths and in-
tercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the report-
ing of Exploration Results.

True width not currently known. All lengths are down-hole
lengths and not true width.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the
drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.

The precise geometry is not currently known but will be tested
by planned drilling, with diamond drill hole azimuths designed
to drill normal to the mineralised structure.
If it is not known and only the down-hole lengths are re-
ported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg
‘down-hole length, true width not known’).

Down-hole length reported, true width not known
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabula-
tions 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 ap-
propriate sectional views.

Drill hole collar location map prepared.

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 to avoid
misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

Representative reporting of all relevant grades above 0.11g/t
Au is provided in tables to avoid misleading reporting of Ex-
ploration Results.
Other substantive
exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should
be reported including (but not limited to): geological obser-
vations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey re-
sults; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metal-
lurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotech-
nical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or con-
taminating substances.

Overview of exploration data leading to selection of drill tar-
gets provided.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for
lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-
out drilling).

Test for lateral and depth extensions, resource delineation of
the mineralised structure.

sions, including the main geological interpretations and fu-
ture drilling areas, provided this information is not com-
mercially sensitive.

Diagrams are included in this report of strike of mineralised
