ASX Announcement

RC drilling to test EM conductors, Wongan Hills
WONGAN HILLS PROJECT, WA - targeting Volcanic-Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) Cu-Zn-Ag-Au and Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation (Cullen 90%)
-
RC drilling is planned to commence this week to test the recentlydetermined C5 and C4, and/or C6, ground EM conductors at the Rupert and Rupert South Prospects (ASX: CUL; 31-3-2022).
-
New bedrock conductor C5 is within a strongly magnetic, untested part of the Rupert Prospect (Fig.1),
-
Major element and PGE re-assays of selected samples from Cullen’s drilling at Rupert (ASX: CUL;16-2-2022) show a large range of Mg, Cr, Ni, Cu, Co and PGE geochemistry which may indicate host rock differentiation - detailed study of these data is in progress (Table 1).
-
The closest drill test to C5 is ~400m to the north, where samples from air core holes WHAC148 and 151 include high Co, high Ni, and very high Cr values in shallow-weathered bedrock (Table 1 and Fig. 1).
-
In summary, trace nickel and copper sulphides in the ultramafic intersected in drill hole RC6, the Ni-Co anomalies from air core drilling to the south east, and the geochemical data reported herein, strongly support further exploration for Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation at Rupert and southwards over some 5kms of prospective mafic-ultramafic stratigraphy (Figs.1 and 3).

Fig.1. Plan position of C4-C6 modelled ground EM plates on VTEM and magnetics images (Drone Mag) – drilling data ASX:CUL, 16-2-2022.
BACKGROUND
In January 2022, RC drilling further tested a strong ground EM conductor (Model C3) at Rupert and outlined a lensoidal (possibly intrusive) body of ultramafic with a best intersection of 30m @ 1161 ppm Ni, with 22ppm Cu, and 80ppm Co (WHRC14 from 115-145m) – similar to that in previous hole RC6 which contained trace nickel sulphides (ASX:CUL:16-9-2021;16-2-2022).
Air core hole WHAC148 500m south-southeast of RC6 returned 15m @ 1963 – ppm Ni, with 227 ppm Co, from 5m max 5m composite sample of 3021ppm Ni with 389ppm Co and , WHAC 151 , 230m west on the same x-section, returned 17m @ 1802 Ni, 160 ppm Co from 20m to End of Hole,
These Ni-Co intersections partially overlie coincident, discrete, magnetic-VTEM anomalies at the northern tip of an untested strike-extensive (~3km) magnetic belt (Fig. 1), and together with area RC6 are interpreted to be part of an extensive, prospective mafic-ultramafic complex (up to 5km of strike). The C5 conductor from the recent ground EM survey is located within this complex, with scope for more systematic ground EM surveying along strike.

Re-assay Results – Wongan Hills ,April 2022
Cullen has previously reported that nickel sulphides were observed in percussion drill chips in Cullen’s drill hole RC6 at the Rupert Prospect (ASX: CUL, 16-92021), following examination of samples in thin and polished section by a consultant petrologist (Minerex Services Pty Ltd).
Sulphides identified include: pentlandite (iron-nickel sulphide), pyrite, pyrrhotite, bravoite (iron-nickel sulphide) and violarite (oxidized form of pentlandite-pyrrhotite); with niccolite – a nickel arsenide.
Significantly, the host to these sulphides is described as an “ amphibolitised, former serpentinised komatiite” in a 30m thick (downhole) section of RC6 which averages 1150 ppm Ni from 5m composite samples. Note, the identification of ultramafic as komatiite is tentative given the relatively high-grade of metamorphism of the samples.
Re-assays of 5m composites from RC6 returned significant anomalies of palladium (Pd) to 101ppb , and platinum (Pt) to 26ppb in the regolith overlying the nickel-bearing ultramafics (Fig. 2 and ASX: CUL, 21-10-2021).
RC6 was positioned to test a modelled ground EM anomaly plate (C3) situated at 125m downhole for base metal mineralisation of the VHMS-type. A 2m semi massive to massive sulphidic (pyrite-pyrrhotite, 60-70%) BIF unit from 131m was interpreted to be the source of the EM anomaly.

Data description as required by the 2012 JORC Code - Section 1 and Section 2 of Table 1 Re-assays of selected samples from January RC and AC Drilling – Wongan Hills
| Section 1 Sampling techniques and data | 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 meaning of sampling. |
Sampling was by Reverse Circulation (RC) and air core (AC) drilling testing bedrock and interpreted geological and/or geophysical targets for gold, base metals and/or Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation - 5 RC holes for 834m; 46 AC holes for 2315m, E4882. |
| 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. RC and AC drilling was used to obtain one metre samples delivered through a cyclone with a ~500g sample collected using a scoop and five of such 1m samples combined into one5m composite sample. The composite samples (2-3kg) were sent to Perth laboratory Minanalytical for 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.). |
RC Drilling using a 5.5in, 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 adverse recovery recorded. The samples were generally dry, a few were damp. |
| 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 as required and after completion). |
|
| 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 generally kept dry and 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 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. |

| 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 into buckets, then emptied on to the ground in rows. 5m composite samples were taken using a sampling scoop. |
|
| For all sample types, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
All samples 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.

|
| 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. |
No field duplicate samples were taken – one metre resampling and duplicating was anticipated for any mineralised intersections. |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Considered appropriate for the purpose of these drilling programmes, which are reconnaissance only, primarily aimed at establishing source of EM anomalies (RC drilling) and geology, and presence of favourable shear structures for gold and base metals. |
