NEW GOLD ANOMALIES FROM AIR CORE DRILLING AT Mt EUREKA, NE GOLDFIELDS, W.A.

Assay data has now been received and compiled for a reconnaissance air core drilling program completed in November 2018. Targets included both new and known, outlined from a compilation of: aeromagnetic and ground magnetics interpretation; previous drilling; soil geochemistry; and mapping. Drilling comprised 76 holes for 3,009m at: Eureka NW; Southern-Galway; Graf’s Find (gold) and Irwin Bore (nickel) prospect (Fig.1).

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Gold anomalies were returned from each of the four target areas tested - best 15m @ 0.55 g/t Au and 5m @ 1.16g/t Au at Southern; and 5m @ 0.92 g/t Au at Eureka NW (5m composite samples)

  • The results from Southern suggest some NW-SE structural control to gold mineralisation and follow-up deeper RC drill testing is warranted

  • Results are consistent with recognition that the western granite-greenstone contact and associated structures, including Eureka NW, Southern - Galway and Graf’s Find prospects, is a key target region along ~10km of prospective strike

Eureka NW

Two traverses were completed spaced 50m along strike to the south of an historical intersection of 8m @ 2.9g/t Au from 70m (MERC055), and targeted the granite-greenstone contact which is locally marked with conglomerates (Fig. 2). Gold anomalies which include 10m @ 0.27 g/t Au and 5m @ 0.92 g/t Au , indicate an extension to the south of gold mineralisation in historical hole MERC055. Deeper drill testing along the granite-greenstone contact is warranted. Gold mineralisation is related to quartz veining and shearing in mafics and ultramafics with basement granite in some holes. The area south of MERC055 to YRC07, and the alteration zones interpreted in this corridor (which may relate to underlying intrusives) are a key target region (Fig.2).

Cullen Resources Limited Results of Air Core Drilling – February 2019

Southern – Galway

Aircore traverses targeted:

  • an untested NE-SW fault and interpreted felsic intrusive to the south-east of Southern;

  • a possible southern extension of the Galway mineralisation localised by an interpreted felsic intrusive and its bounding faults/shears; and,

 possible NW controlling faults at Southern (Fig. 3).

Gold intersections in drill holes MEAC18072 - 76 at Southern include 15m @ 0.55 g/t Au and 5m @ 1.16g/t Au. Mineralisation is interpreted to have a NE dip (~60°) along an interpreted NW - SE fault. The down-dip portion of this section (below ~60m vertically) also correlates with mineralised intervals in historical holes drilled both to the NW and vertically. RC drilling to test the deeper sections of NW-SE fault/shear zones, which may control mineralisation, is now a priority (Fig.4).

Drilling at Southern SE intersected a felsic intrusive in a structure between ultramafic and mafic rocks (from ground magnetics data). No gold anomalies were returned in the area of the fault, although arsenic is anomalous (312ppm over 5m to EoH in MEAC 18071).

Drillholes MEAC18011-26 to the SW of Southern and Galway ( Galway S .) intersected a broad felsic intrusive but did not return any gold anomalies.

Graf’s Find

Two traverses investigated an interpreted felsic intrusive along its western fault bounded contact and NW-SE faults in the vicinity of a “Terraleach TM” gold - insoil anomaly (as previously reported) - Fig.5. A single modest gold anomaly was returned from a chert ( MEAC18038 - 1m @ 0.12 g/t Au from 35m to end of hole ). This corridor is underexplored to the north and some further drilling focused on the chert is warranted (Fig.5).

Irwin Bore

Three traverse lines of drilling targeted stratigraphy along strike of VTEM conductors in nickel prospective terrain, where access allowed (Fig.6). Bedrock in holes MEAC18045-55 was dominantly mafic with a modest gold anomaly in MEAC 18047 (3m @ 0.22 g/t Au to end of hole) in chert. Holes MEAC18056-59 were drilled on the eastern granite-greenstone contact and returned 5m @ 0.15 g/t Au in a quartz-veined section of granite. No ultramafics were intersected and there were no significant nickel assays.

Cullen Resources Limited Results of Air Core Drilling – February 2019

KEY POINTS

  1. The results of the November 2018 air core programme underline the potential of the western granite-greenstone contact region (Graf’s Find to Eureka NW - Fig. 1) to host gold deposits, and further exploration for gold is warranted.

  2. The vast majority of historical exploration drilling within this region has been broad-spaced and shallow (<80m), and only the potentially-economic gold mineralisation at the Southern - Galway has been the subject of semisystematic RC drilling ( ~20 holes ) and only two diamond holes. Further RC drilling is warranted at Southern - Galway guided by NW-SE faults which may control gold zones.

  3. In addition, the eastern granite-greenstone contact and its major structural break (Fig.1) remains underexplored for gold, and is considered by Cullen to be prospective for nickel sulphides given its on-strike position north of the Camelwood discovery and associated nickel sulphide deposits being explored by Rox Resources Limited (ASX:RXL)

Data description as required by the 2012 JORC Code - Section 1 and Section 2 of Table 1 Air core drilling programme – E53/1299,1209,1637

Section 1 Sampling techniques and data Section 1 Sampling techniques and data
Criteria JORC Code explanation Comments
Sampling
technique
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 XRF
instruments, etc.). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaningof sampling.
Sampling was by air core (AC) drilling testing depth of
transported cover, bedrock type and interpreted
geological
and/or
geophysical
targets
for
gold
mineralisation and/or nickel sulphides.
A total of 76 holes for 3009m was completed.
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 handheld GPS
units with an approximate accuracy of +/- 5 m. Drill rig
cyclone and sampling tools cleaned regularly during
drilling.
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 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 detailed information.
Mineralisation determined qualitatively from rock type,
alteration, structure and veining observations.
Air core drilling was used to obtain one metre samples
delivered through a cyclone. The 1m sample was placed
on the ground. From each drill spoil pile, a ~500g
sample was then collected using a spear, five of such 1m
samples were combined into one 5m composite sample.
The composite samples (2-3kg) were sent to Perth
laboratorySGSfor analysis.
Drilling
technique
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.).
Drilling was by air core using a 90mm diameter bit.
Drill
Sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed
Sample recovery was assessed visually and adverse
recovery recorded. The samples were generally dry, a
very few were 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 log sheets. Cyclone and buckets were
cleaned regularly and thoroughly (between rod changes
and after completion of each drill hole) to minimise
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 there was no significant
loss/gain of material introducing a sample bias. At the
end of a few holes, where water flow was high, the hole
was terminated.

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.
All samples were qualitatively logged by a geologist in
order to provide a geological framework for the
interpretation of the analytical data.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel etc) photography.
Logging of rock chips was qualitative (lithology, type of
mineralisation) 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
whether 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 collected from a cyclone
attached to the drill rig. Composite samples were taken
using a sampling spear.
For all sample types, quality and
appropriateness
of
the
sample
preparation technique.
All samples are pulverised to produce a homogenous
representative sub-sample for analysis. A grind quality
target of 85% passing 75μm is established and is relative
to sample size, type and hardness.
Gold (Au), Arsenic (As), Bismuth (Bi) Copper (Cu),
Nickel (Ni), Manganese (Mn), Antimony (Sb), Tin (Sn),
and Tellurium (Te) was analyzed by Aqua Regia digest
with ICP-MS finish.
Gold levels over 500ppb were repeated by AAS.
Quality control procedures adopted for
all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
Duplicates certified reference materials and blanks are
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.
Duplicate field samples of the 5m composites were
taken approximately every 50 samples.
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
reconnaissance only and primarily aimed at establishing
the depth to and type of bedrock beneath cover (which
ranged from 2-20m).
The nature, quality and appropriateness
of
the
assaying
and
laboratory
procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.
For all 5m composite samples, a 25g aliquot is digested
using Aqua Regia. Analysis for gold and a range of
other trace elements is by ICP-MS or AAS. 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.

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.
Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this
is known, considering the deposit type.
The drilling is exploratory only and designed to test
geophysical and geological targets, to assist in mapping,
and to test for gold mineralisation below transported
cover. The drill orientation was generally westerly or
easterly (105 - 285 degrees) utilizing existing grids lines
where available, and at a dip angle of -60 degrees. No
visible gold mineralisation has been encountered and
hence it is unclear whether the sampling is unbiased or
not.
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 structures targeted has not been
established yet but it is likely that the drilled
intersections overestimate the true thickness of any
intersected mineralisation.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
All samples are handled, transported and delivered to
the laboratory by Cullen staff or Cullen contractors. All
samples were accounted for.
Audits or
reviews
The results of and audits or reviews of
samplingtechniques and data.
No audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data
have been conducted to date.

name/number,
location and ownership including
agreements or material issues with
third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties,
native title interest, historical sites,

environmental settings.
The drill targets are located on E53/1299,1209 and 1637
each is 100% owned by Cullen Exploration Pty Ltd (a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Cullen Resources Limited).
Cullen has signed an agreement with the Wiluna
traditional owners who have determined native title over
the tenement area. All drill sites and access tracks were
cleared
by
the
traditional
owners
prior
to
commencement of theses ground-disturbing activities.
There are no particular environmental settings.
The security of the tenure held at the
time of reporting along with any
known impediments to obtaining a
licence to operate in the area.
The tenure is secure and in good standing at the time of
writing.
Exploration
done by other
parties
Acknowledgement and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.
There has been previous drilling at the tested sites by
Cullen and across the project area by WMC limited,
Newmont and BHP Billiton limited (in Joint Venture
with Cullen) since 2001 – appraised by Cullen for drill
targeting.
Geology Deposit type, geological settings and
style of mineralisation.
The targeted mineralisation is orogenic, shear-hosted
gold mineralisation and komatiite-hosted nickel.

Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration results,
weighing
averaging
techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are
usually material and should be
stated.
See included table
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.
See included table
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearlystated.
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 degree angles to test geophysical
targets and prospective geological settings beneath
transported cover. The stratigraphy encountered in
drilling is variably dipping to the east at a high angle or
is near vertical, and any 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 yet
known.
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’)
See Table in report
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 to
a plan view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate sectional
views.

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 included Table
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to):
geological observations, geophysical
survey results, geochemical survey
results, bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical
test
results;
bulk
density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious
or containingsubstances.
See included figures where current reported data shown
together with interpretation of previous drill hole
information and historic aeromagnetic and ground
magnetic data. There are currently no other exploration
data that appear meaningful in the context of the
reported results.

further work (eg tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
Further work, including air core and RC drilling, is
planned.
