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.

  • 5m @ 417ppm W; 1.6 ppm Ag, 0.2%Cu (19WHAC66, 45-50m)

  • Chalcopyrite and sphalerite was intersected in Cullen’s WHDH001 (ASX: CUL;15-7-2020) which may have drilled the fault zone but did not intersect targeted intrusion.)

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

==> picture [475 x 337] intentionally omitted <==

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.

RUPERT PROSPECT – IP TRAVERSE RESULTS

SGC has provided the following figure to summarise the results from this IP line (Figs.1 - 4).

==> 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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).

Exploration Update – April 2024

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

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.
Further work The nature and scale of planned
further work (e.g. tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
Further work is planned – likely to include follow-up IP
surveying and/or RC drilling at Wongan Hills Project

The information in this report that relates to exploration activities is based on information compiled by Dr. Chris Ringrose, Managing Director, Cullen Resources Limited who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Dr. Ringrose is a full-time employee of Cullen Resources Limited. He has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and types of deposits under consideration, and to the activity which has been undertaken, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the 2012 edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Dr. Ringrose consents to the report being issued in the form and context in which it appears. Information in this report may also reflect past exploration results, and Cullen’s assessment of exploration completed by past explorers, which has not been updated to comply with the JORC 2012 Code. The Company confirms it is not aware of any new information or data which materially affects the information included in this announcement.

ABOUT CULLEN: Cullen is a Perth-based minerals explorer with a multi-commodity portfolio including projects managed through a number of JVs with key partners (Rox, Fortescue, Capella and Lachlan Star), and a number of projects in its own right. The Company’s strategy is to identify and build targets based on data compilation, field reconnaissance and early-stage exploration, and to pursue further testing of targets itself or farm-out opportunities to larger companies. Projects are sought for most commodities mainly in Australia but with selected consideration of overseas opportunities. Cullen has a 1.5% F.O.B. royalty up to 15 Mt of iron ore production from the Wyloo project tenements, part of Fortescue’s Western Hub/Eliwana project, and will receive $900,000 cash if and when a decision is made to commence mining on a commercial basis – from former tenure including E47/1649, 1650, ML 47/1488-1490, and ML 08/502. Cullen has a 1% F.O.B. royalty on any iron ore production from the following former Mt Stuart Iron Ore Joint Venture (Baowu/MinRes/Posco/AMCI) tenements – E08/1135, E08/1330, E08/1341, E08/1292, ML08/481, and ML08/482 (and will receive $1M cash upon any Final Investment Decision). The Catho Well Channel Iron Deposit (CID) has a published in situ Mineral Resources estimate of 161Mt @ 54.40% Fe (ML 08/481) as announced by Cullen to the ASX – 10 March 2015.
