Exploration Update
-
Air core drilling has commenced at Barlee (Cullen 100%), targeting highgrade, Penny-type gold lodes.
-
A drone magnetic survey to commence shortly at Wongan Hills (Cullen 90%) over key Ni-Cu-PGE prospects, with air core and RC drilling of four priority targets after harvesting.
-
RC drilling of gold targets and detailed air magnetics to commence this month at Mt Eureka (Rox Resources Limited earning 75%).
-
Lachlan Star has commenced RC drilling of gold and nickel targets with an initial 1,200m at Killaloe (Cullen 20% FCI to DTM).
BARLEE PROJECT, WA - Cullen 100% (Fig.1).
Cullen Resources Limited (“Cullen” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the commencement of its inaugural air core drilling at its 100% - owned Barlee project, where it is targeting high-grade, Penny-type gold lodes.
Barlee is a “greenfield” project area of approximately 450 sq. km which extends from 10 - 55 km SSE of the Penny Gold (previously “Penny West”) deposit and the Youanmi greenstone belt, towards the NW tip of the Marda - Diemals greenstone belt. It covers significant strike of underexplored shear zones and numerous elongate and/or folded aeromagnetic anomalies (highs), which are interpreted to be intercalated greenstone within the granite terrane.
An initial program of reconnaissance air core drilling (2000-3000m) has commenced with traverses of some significant aeromagnetic anomalies (Fig.1). Follow-up soil sampling is also underway in the northern tenure (E57/1135), focused on magnetic anomalies and interpreted faults. The results of these programs will prioritise further drilling.

Exploration Update - November 2021
WONGAN HILLS PROJECT, WA, (Fig.2 - Cullen 90%)
A drone magnetic survey (25m spacing) is planned to commence in the coming weeks to enhance interpretation of the structural and geological setting of key NiCu-PGE prospects hosted in mafic-ultramafic-BIF stratigraphy on the Rupert Trend – centered on RC6 (Fig. 3).
Air core and RC drilling is planned to commence after harvesting, either in December or January. Drill-ready targets include (Fig.4):
-
Rupert North Prospect : air core drilling of two historical palladium (Pd) soil anomalies over VTEM anomalies;
-
Rupert Prospect : RC drilling centered on nickel-bearing ultramafic in drill hole RC6 - to date a single hole test of a strong ground EM conductor; and,
-
Rupert South Prospect : air core drilling of Cullen-generated Ni-Cu soil anomalies over 1km long VTEM anomaly.

Exploration Update - November 2021
Mt EUREKA JV PROJECT, WA, centered ~130km east of Wiluna, NE Goldfields, gold and base metals. Rox Resources Limited (ASX:RXL) is earning up to 75% (Fig.5).
Rox is progressing exploration for orogenic gold mineralisation and VMS style mineralisation with reports to be provided in due course. Cullen also notes the positive results reported by Cannon Resources Ltd (ASX:CNR, 13-10-2021) at their Fisher East Nickel project which lies immediately to the south of the Mt Eureka Project.
In addition, a recent presentation by Rox (ASX:RXL, 26-10-2021) indicates their intention to :
-
Fully evaluate the potential of known gold prospects at : Southern-Galway, Graf’s Find, Taipan and Eureka North west;
-
Complete a 50m spaced Air Mag survey over the entire Mt Eureka tenement package (commencing in November); and,
-
Undertake follow-up drilling at the Red Bluff, VMS prospect.
A program of some 4000m of RC drilling is proposed to commence in November, a proportion of which will be directed at Mt Eureka JV prospects.
KILLALOE PROJECT, WA, E63/1018, 28km NE of Norseman ( Cullen 20%), Managed by Lachlan Star Limited (from ASX:LSA, 29-10-2021)
Lachlan Star has commenced a maiden RC drilling program with an initial 1,200m targeting:
-
the extension of the “Barrel” prospect and historic Gold-Silver workings; and,
-
the western ultramafic sequence with anomalous nickel mineralisation.
