EXPLORATION UPDATE
Two strong IP chargeability anomalies defined, WONGAN HILLS, W.A.
-
A program of trial 2D DDIP (Two-dimensional Dipole-Dipole Induced Polarisation and Resistivity) surveying has defined two significant, undrilled chargeability anomalies , at the Wongan and Rupert prospects
-
At Wongan , on the western side of the Wongan Hills Greenstone Belt, (WHGB) the chargeability anomaly is positioned at 463200mE , on a ultramafic/mafic sediment contact and aligns with a trend of VTEM anomalies
-
This anomaly is within a ~ 4 x 1km target area comprising Ag-in-BLEG, hydrothermally-altered adamellite with trace chalcopyrite (Cullen drilling), and is marginal to historical copper occurrences in small diggings
-
The nearest deep drilling is Cullen’s WHDDH001, ~400m NE of the chargeability anomaly, which intersected minor chalcopyrite-pyrite, sphalerite and pyrrhotite clasts in a hydrothermally-altered metasediment/mafic sequence
-
At Rupert , on the eastern side of the WHGB, a strong 34ms chargeability anomaly positioned at 466600mE, is coincident with a resistivity low and a magnetic high
-
It lies over an interpreted Banded Iron Formation (BIF)/mafic contact in the vicinity of interpreted granitic intrusives, and within a 2 x 0.5km target area of historical Au-in-BLEG and anomalous Au, Ag, Sb, Pb, Te, and Zn in Cullen air core drilling
-
This chargeability anomaly is open along strike N and S, aligns with a trend of VTEM anomalies but has not been tested by either historical deep drilling or previous Cullen RC drilling.
The Wongan and Rupert chargeability anomalies are prime targets in favourable geological settings and planning for initial drill testing is underway - RC drilling with holes to 200-250m depth is anticipated.

Exploration Update – April 2024
WONGAN HILLS - trial IP surveying
Background
In March, Southern Geoscience Consultants Pty Ltd (SGC) completed two trial 2D DDIP survey lines to test for zones of sulphides which Cullen has previously proposed may be related to granitic intrusions, ultramafics and/or VHMS mineralisation.
Each survey line included a 2km long Transmitter (TX) line with electrodes spaced 100m apart, and a fixed array of 1600m length with 100m spaced dipoles. The TX ran from end to end, collecting reciprocal data over the fixed array. The effective depth of investigation was anticipated to be around 200-300m or more depending on ground conditions.
Survey line positions were chosen by Cullen (Figs.1-3). One traverse was positioned on the western side of the greenstone belt, over the historical Louise Ag in BLEG anomaly, and along strike from Cullen WHDDH001 which had intersected copper and gold anomalies with significant hydrothermal alteration (ASX:CUL;15-7-2020) – Wongan Prospect.
A second traverse was completed on the eastern margin of the greenstone belt across an interpreted granite intrusion and a BIF-basement granite contact – Rupert Prospect.

SGC has provided the following figure to summarise the results from this IP line.

Fig. 5 Trial IP survey Chargeability and Resistivity sections, 6592600mN
This data shows a strong chargeability anomaly towards the centre of the IP line which directly overlies an ultramafic – mafic sediment contact, as interpreted from Cullen’s air core drilling and interpretation of air magnetics data (WAMEX, A47022). This ultramafic unit is marked by a line of VTEM anomalies stretching over about 3km along a NE-SW stratigraphic trend ( Fig.6). The chargeability anomaly on this Wongan line lies immediately west of Cullen’s air core hole - 19WHAC45 (about 40m). The assay data for this hole confirms the presence of ultramafic but is not particularly anomalous in key pathfinders (see Table 1).
The separate, lower intensity anomaly in the west may be close to a NW trending fault along the granite greenstone boundary, again as interpreted from magnetics data.

==> picture [474 x 337] intentionally omitted <==
Fig. 7 Trial IP survey Chargeability and Resistivity sections, 6594400mN
This data shows a strong, chargeability anomaly with margins of low resistivity towards the eastern end of the line, and close to the granite-greenstone boundary. In detail, the chargeability anomaly overlies an interpreted Banded Iron Formation (BIF)/ultramafic contact with mafics and close to an intrusive/BIF contact (Fig.8).
Air core drilling near the chargeability anomaly has not been deep enough (averaging 60m depth at -60°) to test this target. The most anomalous of Cullen’s air core holes aare close to an interpreted granite intrusive/BIF contact: hole 23WHAC200 is highly anomalous in base metals and pathfinders, including 17m @ 1286ppm Zn from 70m to EoH; and air core hole 22WHAC166 includes 5m composite assays up to ; 0.11 g/t Au, 1.04 ppm Ag and 468ppm Pb (Fig.8 and Table 3).
Cullen’s RC drilling along sections to the south of the chargeability anomaly suggest the stratigraphy dips west and includes: BIF, felsic metasediments, and pyrite-pyrrhotite in shale layers. Low resistivity in the IP section may coincide with cherts and /or quartzites as shown on the x-sections (Table 2, and Fig.9).

Exploration Update – April 2024
Discussion
At the Wongan Prospect, compilation of available data including the new IP survey data suggests that the chargeability anomaly overlies an ultramafic unit – and this is a target trend for further exploration. To the north-east this ultramafic intersects a major N-S fault, and the mineralisation in Cullen’s WHDDH001, and in the prospect area, may be related to a hydrothermal system controlled and localised by faults. Several granitoid intrusions are interpreted to underly and intrude the greenstone stratigraphy in the vicinity of WHDDH001 and these may have played a role in mineralisation.
At the Rupert Prospect, various favorable geochemical and lithological characteristics suggest that the contact between mafic and BIF near the? base of the greenstone stratigraphy, offer a suitable environment for the occurrence of VHMS (volcanic-hosted massive sulphides) in a felsic-mafic sequence. Drill intersections to date suggest the sequence includes pyritic shale horizons, and lateral parts of these horizons may host base metal mineralisation. Again, the presence of granitoid intrusions in the vicinity of geochemical, VTEM and IP anomalies suggest a possible role in mineralisation.
Conclusions
-
Cullen proposes a program of RC drilling to test each of these chargeability anomalies at Wongan and Ruper t, as discussed in this report.
-
A preliminary program of 4 holes, two per prospect, with angled drilling to 200-250m is envisaged.

Exploration Update – April 2024
Data description as required by the 2012 JORC Code - Section 1 and Section 2 of Table 1 IP Geophysical Surveying – E70/4882 Wongan Hills
| 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. |
The IP surveys have been used to generate drill targets once integrated with magnetics and gravity maps made available by the West Australian government, historical geochemical and geological data, and Cullen’s database generated by its own geochemical surveying and drilling over the past five years. The IP survey was completed using the Dipole-Dipole (DDIP) configuration with dipole spacing of 100m between the electrodes. Equipment used included a SMARTem24 Geophysical Receiver system and Pheonix TXU-30 (20kW) IP Transmitter powered by a 3 phase motor-generator. Transmitter (TX) electrodes were aluminum plates buried in the ground with Receiver (RX) electrodes being non-polarisable porous pots. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used |
Data QA/QC was completed by SGC supervising geophysicists. Noisy and spurious readings were removed from the dataset. Readings with low-primary voltages were also removed. 2D inversion modelling was completed on both profiles using the RES2DINV software. |
|
| 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. |
No applicable – no new drilling reported herein | |
| 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.). |
No new drilling reported herein. |
| Drill Sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed |
Not applicable |
| Measurements taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
Not applicable |
16
Exploration Update – April 2024
| 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. |
Not applicable | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
Not applicable |
| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel etc.) photography. |
Not applicable | |
| The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged |
Not applicable | |
| Sub- sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. |
Not applicable |
| If non-core, whether riffles, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry. |
Not applicable | |
| For all sample types, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
Not applicable | |
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. |
Not applicable | |
| 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. |
Not applicable | |
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Not applicable | |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. |
Not applicable |
| For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. |
Equipment used included a SMARTem24 Geophysical Receiver system and Pheonix TXU-30 (20kW) IP Transmitter powered by a 3-phase motor-generator. Transmitter (TX) electrodes were aluminum plates buried in the ground with Receiver (RX) electrodes being non-polarisable porous pots. |
17
Exploration Update – April 2024
| Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
Data QA/QC was completed by SGC supervising geophysicists. Noisy and spurious readings were removed from the dataset. Readings with low-primary voltages were also removed. 2D inversion modelling was completed on both profiles using the RES2DINV software. |
|
|---|---|---|
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. |
The IP data was downloaded on a daily basis and sent to supervising geophysicists at Southern Geoscience Consultants Pty Ltd for QA/QC checks. |
| The use of twinned holes | Not applicable | |
| Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physically and electronic) protocols. |
Data collected and reported by SGC. Products and data supplied by SGC as incorporated herein, Data collection site positions determined by GPS (+/- 5m). |
|
| Discuss anyadjustment to assaydata. | Not applicable | |
| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down- hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resources estimation. |
Not applicable |
| Specification of the grid system used. | The grids are in UTM grid GDA94, Zone50. | |
| Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
There is currently no topographic control and the RL is GPS (+/-5m). |
|
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. |
Each survey profile consisted of a single, 16 channel RX spread, orientated E-W with electrodes spaced 100m apart (over a distance of 1600m). The TX electrodes were installed alongside the RX spread, using the same 100m spacing but off-set by 50m along the line, and extending 100 to 200m beyond the start and end of the RX spread. The TX and RX spacing is effectively 100m. The current was injected at each TX pair along the line while the RX spread remained fixed in place. |
| Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Reserve and Ore Re4serve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. |
Not applicable | |
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
Not applicable | |
| 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. |
The geological structure s are interpreted to strike N-S and the survey lines were run E-W. |
| 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. |
Not applicable | |

Wongan Hills: There has been previous drilling by Cullen in the general area of the current program described, and historical drilling and historical exploration is referenced herein and previously. Fig.4 Ag assay plot compiled by Cullen from data in report by R.Smit, 1989 (WAMEX 26695). 2kg bulk soil samples were analyzed for Ag, Cu and Au by the cyanide leach method (BLEG). Samples collected mainly at 200x200m and infill at 200x100m. Analyses of silver to 1ppb detection limit. The Ag data plotted is contourable and coherent. Assays for Au and Cu also attained from this sample suite and presented previously (ASX: CUL; 18-7-2018). Cullen considers this to have been a comprehensive survey by a reputable company using a technique which was the standard at the time. The results of multi-element analyses in Smit’s report show a coalescing of anomalies in the Louise anomaly area which Cullen considers encouraging for follow-up work. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological settings and style of mineralisation. |
Geochemical surveys in Cullen’s previous reports to the ASX, and historical reports referenced have provided evidence of multi-element anomalies. The style of mineralisation and geochemical data found to date by Cullen also supports further work including using the intrusion-related mineralisation model described in Cullen’s previous report (ASX:CUL 30-3-2023). |

| If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
Not applicable | |
|---|---|---|
| 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 usuallymaterial and should be stated |
Not applicable |
| 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. |
No new mineral intersections reported herein. | |
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
Not applicable. | |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
Not applicable |
| If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. |
No mineral intersections reported herein. | |
| If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’) |
No mineral intersections reported herein. | |
| 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. |
No mineral intersections reported herein. |
| 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. |
No mineral intersections reported herein. |
| 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 containing substances. |
Some geophysical images used herein, are from a publically available source: https://geoview.dmp.wa.gov.au/geoview (in detail) https://geoview.dmp.wa.gov.au/geoview/?Viewer=Geo View&_gl=1bmo5p_gaMTA0MjcwOTk0MS4xNT MyMzg0OTUx_ga_S1QYDDWVV5*MTY4MDIzMT g5NS40MDcuMC4xNjgwMjMxODk1LjAuMC4w for example, |

Exploration Update – April 2024
| The use of images, as presented in this report, are fundamental for the interpretation of geology and structures and support the intrusion-related model proposed for further exploration at Wongan Hills. Magnetics is a tool allowing for differentiating rock types and the presence of structures; In this report Cullen has used the integration of these data to conclude the position of major rock types, their boundaries and the structures controlling geochemical anomalies. Southern Geoscience Consultants DDIP Survey for Wongan Hills and Ruperts Prospects The survey was undertaken by Southern Geoscience Consultants Pty Ltd, consisted of two separate 2D profiles of Dipole-Dipole Induced Polarisation (DDIP) and Resistivity Data. Each survey was approximately 1.6km in length using 100m station spacing. The Configuration used was DDIP with 100m electrode spacing for both the TX and RX electrodes. Equipment used included a SMARTem24 Geophysical Receiver with a Pheonix TXU-30 (20kW) IP transmitter operating at a frequency of 0.125 Hz. The TX electrodes were Aluminum plates and the RX electrodes were non-polarisable porous pots. Data QA/QC was completed by SGC supervising geophysicists. Noisy and spurious readings were removed from the dataset. Readings with low-primary voltages were also removed. 2D inversion modelling was completed on both profiles using the RES2DINV software. |
