Drilling Update, Mt Eureka Project

HIGHLIGHTS

  • RC drilling (8 holes for 1216m) has been completed at the Mt Eureka Project exploring four EM conductors and geological/geochemical targets for nickel sulphide mineralisation at two prospects: Doyles and Silverbark North.

  • Drilling at Doyles Prospect returned a best intersection of 2m @ 1.2% Ni (from 28m) within a 13m thick interval from 21m averaging 0.61%Ni , confirming shallow nickel geochemical anomalies in ultramafics from historic RAB drilling

  • A second intersection at Doyles of 3m @ 0.36% Ni with 44ppb Pt+Pd combined (from 52m) in weathered ultramafic at the interpreted stratigraphic base of this unit

  • Cullen’s interpretation of recent drilling results, with a further review of ground EM and aeromagnetic data at Doyles , has defined an ultramafic trend prospective for nickel mineralisation along approximately 6km of strike

  • Down-hole EM surveying and an extension of ground EM geophysical surveys at Doyles is planned to commence this week

  • A follow-up phase of RC drilling at Doyles and Silverbark North is planned to commence towards the end of April, with assay results expected to be reported around early June

Cullen Resources Limited Drilling Update – April 2014

BACKGROUND

Cullen Resources Limited (Cullen) holds 100% of ~650km[2] of approved tenure* in the Mt Eureka Greenstone Belt in the North Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia which includes multiple targets for nickel sulphides and gold. The high nickel prospectivity of Cullen’s ground is confirmed by the discovery of nickel sulphides by Rox Resources Limited (Rox) at Camelwood and Cannonball – Musket (Fisher East Project), located a few kilometres along strike to the south of Cullen’s tenement boundary (Rox ASX release, ASX: RXL of 3/10/2013 describes the maiden mineral resource for Camelwood and ASX release of 10/1/2014 describes discoveries at Cannonball and Musket).

Cullen has completed RC drilling (8 holes for 1216m) at its Mt Eureka project exploring four EM conductors and geological/geochemical targets for nickel sulphide mineralisation at two prospects: Doyles and Silverbark North – as reported herein.

Cullen Resources Limited Drilling Update – April 2014

DOYLES NICKEL PROSPECT

Cullen completed a ground EM survey at its Doyles nickel prospect in January 2014. The survey targeted a cluster of “picks” (anomalies) from a 2007 VTEM survey that are broadly coincident with an area of anomalous nickel geochemistry from historic shallow drilling (as reported previously, Cullen ASX: 23/10/2013). The ground EM survey defined three “strong” bedrock conductors in the Doyles prospect area and seven drill holes have been completed (Table 1) testing both the modeled conductor plates and geological/geochemical trends.

Cullen’s drilling near historic intercepts of Ni (geochemically anomalous in nickel for over ~0.6km of strike at shallow depth) shows a 13m thick interval from 21m depth averaging 0.61% Ni with a best intersection of 2m @ 1.2% Ni in weathered ultramafic (MERC 121, from 28m). This drilling, when viewed with ground EM and aeromagnetics data interpretation, has confirmed a target ultramafic trend about 6km in total strike length. The northern 2km has never been tested by any geophysical (VTEM or ground EM) or geochemical surveys (due to interpreted, near-surface conductive regolith and thick transported cover at the salt lake margin).

This “Doyles ultramafic trend” is coincident with a trend of “weak” bedrock conductors interpreted from Cullen’s ground EM, but not modeled, which are generally untested both along strike and in fresh rock. In Cullen’s opinion, this confirms Doyles as a prime target for followup drilling, which is planned to commence towards the end of April. An extension of the ground EM survey to the north is to commence this week. This follow-up drilling at Doyles will target the stratigraphic base of the ultramafic in fresh rock (below about 80m vertically) and along strike to the south (see Figure).

Strong conductors C1 and C2 at the Doyles prospect appear to be explained by sections of black shale with pyrite and pyrrhotite, lower in the stratigraphic sequence than the target Doyles ultramafic units with low conductivity . In summary:

  • At C1, the shale is at a mafic/ultramafic contact, which may be prospective along strike;

  • At C2, the modeled conductor plate appears to be a sulphide lens comprising mainly pyrite and pyrrhotite, within mafics;

  • The EM Conductor C3 at Doyles appears to be due to shale at a mafic schist-gabbro contact, however, the drill hole testing this conductor also intersected a mafic/ultramafic contact at a shallow depth (~52m) which is the prospective Doyles ultramafic trend;

  • Best result was an interval of 3m @ 0.36% Ni with 44ppb Pt+Pd from 52m in weathered ultramafic in hole MERC118 .

Down hole EM surveying will be completed to confirm an intersection of the modeled conductors at C1, C2 and C3, and search for off-hole conductors.

SILVERBARK NORTH NICKEL PROSPECT

This prospect comprises a series of VTEM and ground EM modeled conductors stretching over 1km in Cullen’s ground (E1637). Cullen targeted this conductor trend for structurally remobilised nickel sulphide mineralisation (e.g. Spotted Quoll-type) and for shear-hosted gold and/or VMS base metals. Cullen’s previous reconnaissance RC drilling at Silverbark North, failed to reach the target depth and two drill holes were abandoned in silicate facies, banded iron formation (BIF) about 100m above the target EM conductor. Cullen has now completed an effective test of one of the modeled conductive plates at Silverbark North in the recent RC programme (MERC107 - Table 1).

Cullen Resources Limited Drilling Update – April 2014

The hole intersected black shale with pyrite and pyrrhotite and, subject to down hole surveying, appears to explain the source of the EM conductor at this position. The contact of the BIF/chert sequence with overlying greenstone to the west, which may include ultramafics, was not reached and further drilling as part of the next work phase will explore for this contact (see Figure).

ADDITIONAL TARGETING

Previous programmes of exploration for nickel sulphides in the Mt Eureka greenstone belt have included work by: WMC Limited, BHP Billiton Limited and the Independence Group NL. These exploration efforts were largely driven by geophysical surveying (VTEM and ground EM) with drill testing of modeled conductor plates. This is best industry practice and has led to a number of nickel sulphide discoveries throughout Western Australia. This approach has also been successful in the Mt Eureka belt, and identified nickel anomalies and an intersection of massive nickel sulphide at the “AK 47” prospect for example.

Cullen’s exploration programmes for nickel sulphides at Mt Eureka have also been driven primarily by the testing of VTEM and ground EM conductors. The recent RC drilling comprised only one drill hole per conductor plate and constitutes only a first-pass test of some large targets/conductor plates. Further drilling along strike and in between some of these plates may be required, especially where the plate is coincident with the base of an ultramafic that is overlying sulphur-rich sediment. This is commonly where nickel sulphides are precipitated from komatiitic magma.

Cullen also notes that nickel sulphide mineralisation may occur where there are weak or no conductor responses from VTEM and/or ground EM surveys and this will be considered when prioritising targets. Cullen has reviewed its VTEM and ground EM data in areas of primary nickel prospectivity, from geological and geochemical vectors, for the presence of 2[nd] and 3[rd] order conductor responses which may have been previously overlooked. One such target lies west of MERC 107, where a subsidiary EM response (not modeled) is coincident with an ultramafic unit (see Figure). There are multiple, strike-extensive, prospective ultramafic horizons in Cullen’s project area previously discounted in preference for testing of first-order VTEM and ground EM conductors.

IMMEDIATE FOLLOW-UP PROGRAMMES

Cullen has contracted a company for the next round of drilling planned to include (see Figures):

  • follow-up RC drilling of nickel geochemical anomalies at Doyles prospect;

  • RC drilling to the west of the recently completed RC drill hole MERC 107, and to test a target ultramafic horizon further to the west; and,

  • an RC drill hole designed to intersect the base of the Central ultramafic “complex” on section from MERC 103 – interpreted to be a prospective shale/ultramafic contact.

An extension of ground EM surveys at Doyles and down-hole EM surveying is planned to commence this week, and the drilling programme will be initiated as soon as possible following receipt of statutory approvals – anticipated to be by late April.

Sampling
technique
Nature and quality of sampling (eg
cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or XRF
instruments, etc). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the
broadmeaning ofsampling.
The Silverbark North and Doyles nickel targets were
sampled using reverse circulation (RC) drill holes testing
individual EM conductors and geochemical anomalies.
Eight RC holes were drilled for 1216m.
Include reference to measures taken
to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used
The collar positions were located using a handheld GPS
with an approximate accuracy of ±3m; down-hole
surveys were completed.
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 (eg
‘reverse circulation drilling was used
to obtain 1m samples from which 3kg
was pulverised to produce a 30g
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 submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailedinformation.
RC drilling was used to obtain one metre samples from
which a 3-4kg sub-sample was taken using a cone
splitter. The sub-sample together with the remainder of
the 1-m sample was placed on the ground. From each
drill spoil pile, a c. 400g sample was then collected using
a scoop; five of such 1-m samples were combined into
one composite sample. The composite samples (2-3kg)
were sent to an accredited Perth laboratory for analysis.
Drilling
technique
Drill
type
(eg
core,
reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary
air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic etc)
and details (eg 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).
Drilling was by reverse circulation using a 140mm
diameter face-sampling hammer bit.
Drill Sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed
Sample recovery was assessed visually and the recovery
recorded. The samples were generally dry or damp, and
showed little (<10%) variation in volume.
Measurements taken to maximise
sample
recovery
and
ensure
representative nature of the samples.
The samples were visually checked for recovery,
contamination and water content; the results were
recorded on spreadsheets. Cyclone, splitter and buckets
were cleaned regularly and thoroughly (between rod
changes and after completion of each drill hole) to avoid
cross contamination.
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.
The holes were kept dry and within the targeted zones,
there was no significant loss/gain of material introducing
a sample bias.
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
metallurgicalstudies.
All samples were logged by a geologist in order to
provide a geological framework for the interpretation of
the analytical data.

Drilling Update – April 2014
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel etc) photography.
Logging of rock chips was qualitative (lithology, type of
mineralization) and semi-quantitative (visual estimation
of sulphide content, quartz veining, alteration etc.).
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged
All drill holes were logged in full.
Sub-sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and
wether quarter, half or all core taken.
Not applicable - no core taken
If non-core, whether riffles, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.
One-metre samples were split dry using a cone splitter
attached to the drill rig. Composite samples were taken
using a sampling scoop.
For all sample types, quality and
appropriateness
of
the
sample
preparation technique.
All samples wer pulverised utilising Essa LM1, LM2 or
LM5 grinding mills determined by the size of the sample.
Dry crushed or fine samples were pulverized to produce a
homogenous representative sub-sample for analysis. A
grind quality target of 85% passing 75μm was established
and is relative to sample size, type and hardness.
However the nature (hardness) of some samples is such
that this may not always be achievable using standard
preparation protocols.
In such case an additional 2nd stage grinding was applied
where a sub split is taken and further ground to ensure the
assay pulp passes QC. In extreme cases, 85% passing 75
micron may not be achievable and thus cannot be
guaranteed for all samples. Low chrome steel bowls
were used for pulverising which could impart trace levels
ofcontaminants suchas Cr,Fe andMo.
Quality control procedures adopted
for
all
sub-sampling
stages
to
maximise representivity of samples.
Duplicates, certified reference materials and blanks were
inserted by the laboratory and reported in the final assay
report.
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.
For quality control of the field sampling, duplicate
samples of the 5-m composites were taken at the rate of 1
per 20. The results were satisfactory.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate
to the grain size of the material being
sampled.
The sample size is considered appropriate for the purpose
of this drilling programme, which is exploratory and
primarily aimed at establishing the presence of
mineralisation.
The
nature,
quality
and
appropriateness of the assaying and

and
whether the technique is considered
partial or total.
For all 5-m composite samples, a 10g aliquot was
digested using aqua regia. Analysis for gold was by
AAS; Cu, Ni and Zn were analysed using ICP-OES, Pt
and Pd was analyzed using ICP-MS. The aqua regia
digestion is considered partial depending on the host of
the elements analyzed, but does provide an acceptable
level of accuracy for an initial assessment of the
contained target elements. In addition to the composite
samples, the one-metre split samples were analyzed for
select geological intervals. The digestion of these
samples was by four-acid digest which is considered
near-total. A suite of elements including Ni, Cu and Zn,
wasthenanalysed usingICP-OES.

targets
for
the
presence
of
nickel
mineralisation at depth (holes MERC107 & 116-118).
Each of the geophysical targets was intersected by a
single drill hole only and it therefore has to be assumed
that this drilling has not achieved unbiased testing of the
entire target. The drill orientation was generally to the
west (270 degrees) and at an angle of -60 degrees with
the exception of MERC117 which targeted the conductor
C2 at an azimuth of 350 degrees and a dip of -65 degrees.
Drilling at Doyles (RAB Anomaly) Prospect (holes
MERC119-122) tested Ni intercepts in historic RAB/AC
drilling reported by previous explorers. The controls of
the mineralisation are not known yet and hence it is
unclearwhether the sampling was unbiased or not.

Cullen Resources Limited Drilling Update – April 2014

Drilling Update – April 2014
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.
The exact dip of the mineralization related to geophysical
modeling has not been established yet (single holes only)
but based on the geophysical modeled plates it is likely
that the drilled intersections overestimate the true
thickness of any intersected mineralisation.

material and should be stated.
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.
Where averaging of results for 1-m intervals has been
applied, no upper limits were used for the elements
reported. The lower cut-off for Ni is 0.25%. The averaged
interval may include up to 2m of internal dilution. See
attached table.
The
assumptions

for
any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalents used.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly
important
in
the
reporting
of
Exploration Results.
Drilling was at 60-70 degree angles to test geophysical
target plates derived from EM ground surveys. The
mineralisation encountered in drilling is variably dipping
to the east and mineralisation intercepts are likely to
overstate the true width of mineralisation.
If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
The exact geometry of the mineralisation is not known
yet.
If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (eg ‘down hole length, true
width not known’)
The reported mineralised intervals are down-hole lengths
only, and the true width of the mineralisation is not yet
known.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
would be included for any significant
discovery
being
reported.
These
should include, but not be limited toa
plan view of drill hole collar locations
and appropriate sectionalviews..
see attached table/figures
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.
see attached table
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including
(but
not

to):
geological observations, geophysical
survey results, geochemical survey
results, bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical
test
results;
bulk

groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious
orcontaining substances.
