ASX Announcement
8 January 2024
ASX: CUL
Rock chip assay results - three projects
SUMMARY
-
Assays have been received for a set of reconnaissance surface samples (rock chips and laterite – 35) from the Barlee, Bromus and Mukinbudin Projects – (Figs.1 - 4, and Tables 1 - 2).
-
Results confirm Trainers Rock as a lithium-in-pegmatites target (Li to 1760ppm) , and also underlines gold prospective, granite-greenstone terrane in the south at Barlee , previously mapped as granite.
-
Assays of fresh granite from Mukinbudin indicate a good potential source for clay-hosted Rare Earth Elements (REE) mineralisation in any associated regolith, with Nd+Pr assays of 169 and 188ppm in two samples.
-
At Bromus, results from reconnaissance air core drilling (49 holes for 1674m) in November are expected this month. Assays for six samples of pegmatite were received but do not explain local lithium-in-soil anomalies with further prospecting of these targets planned.
BARLEE PROJECT, E57/1135, E’s 77/2606, 2967, 2782, 2688, and ELA 3118 - c entered ~40km south of the Penny Gold Mine (Cullen 100%).
-
Rock chip sample assays (231456-231461) from the Trainers Rock prospect, have confirmed prospectivity for LCT – type pegmatites with Li values to 1760ppm; Nb to 361ppm, Ta to 56ppm, and Sn to 210ppm .
-
Rock chip samples assays (231448-231455) confirm the presence of mafic rocks, with elevated Cr (to 1820ppm); Cu (to 314ppm) and Ni (to 810ppm), within a prospective, mixed granite-greenstone terrane in the southern part of the project area (E2606). This area includes quartz veins and pegmatites (E-W and NE-SW), and soil anomalies of Au, Ag, Ni, Cu, and Co interpreted to overlie a mafic-ultramafic horizon (E77/2606, ASX:CUL; 8-11-2023)
-
Sample 231463 (E2606) returned Li of 136ppm, with 141ppm Nb and 112ppm Sn in a NE trending pegmatite (a strong aerial photo feature).
Exploration Update – January 2024
- Rock chip samples 231441-231443 from a soil-covered lithium target area in NW sector of E57/1135, did not return any anomalies in lithium, tantalum or caesium although re-assayed soil sample pulps in this area included elevated and anomalous rare element assays (ASX: CUL:8-10-2023).

Fig. 2. Northern section of Cullen’s Barlee Project: Trainers Rock target defined by UF soil and rock chip anomalies (ASX:CUL; 31-8-2023). Rock chips to 4.6% Li2O, reported by Venus Metals Corp. (ASX:VMC; 18-9-2023) to the west of E1135.
Three rock chip samples (231441-231444) from within this NW soil-covered target area of E57/1135 did not return any significant anomlies associated with LCT-type pegmatites. However, rock chip samples assays (231456-231461) from the Trainers Rocks prospect support this as a LCT pegmatite target area.

Exploration Update – January 2024
BROMUS SOUTH PROJECT, W.A., E63/1894 , 2216 (Cullen 100%) - centered ~30km south west of Norseman, gold and lithium exploration.
Cullen completed reconnaissance air core drilling ( 49 holes for 1674m) in November, with composite sample assays expected this month. During this drilling, pegmatite outcrop and float were sampled (231850-855) on the eastern margin of a granite ( Fig.3) - an area marked by soil anomalies of 134 and 107ppm Li (ASX: CUL; 23-1-2023). The rock chip assays (Tables 1 and 2) do not explain the local lithium-in-soil anomalies, with further prospecting of these targets within E2216 planned.

Exploration Update – January 2024
MUKINBUDIN ROJECT, W.A., E70/6138, ELA 77/3112 (Cullen 100%) - centered ~12km south east of Mukinbudin.
To date, Cullen has completed a reconnaissance field visit and reviewed some historical exploration data for this new project, considered prospective for clayhosted rare earth elements, lode gold and lithium-in-pegmatites. The project terrain is mainly farmed and outcropping bedrock is generally lacking. However, assays for rock samples (1221486-1221490), Tables 1and 2, indicate elevated Nd and Pr assays (~170-190 ppm combined) in fresh granites, a potential source rock for clay-hosted rare earth element mineralisation in the project area. A private access agreement has not yet been negotiated.

Data description as required by the 2012 JORC Code - Section 1 and Section 2 of Table 1 Rock Chip Sampling – Barlee, Bromus and Mukinbudin Projects
| 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. |
Rock samples and laterite collected as available float, outcrop or at sub-crop. Rock chip samples as 4-8 fragments 1-2kg; selective fragments from float and small areas of sub–crop, and not necessarily representative. Samples collected by qualified geologist on site. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used |
The samples were located using handheld GPS units with an approximate accuracy of +/- 5 m. |
|
| 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. |
The samples were sent to Perth laboratory ALS for multi-element analysis. Pulverized and tested for 85% passing 75 µm. Au analysed by aqua regia; trace element suite by method ME- MS61r : ICP_MS + REE. |
|
| 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.). |
Not applicable – no drilling completed. |
| Drill Sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed |
Not applicable – no drilling completed. |
| Measurements taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
Not applicable – no drilling completed. | |
| 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 – no drilling completed. | |
| 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 – no drilling completed. |

Not applicable – rock chip samples are for reconnaissance purposes only, collected as available - some in cultivated wheat paddocks, or across alluvial terrain with very limited outcrops. No field duplicates taken. Rock chip samples are composed of multiple chips but may not be representative given coarse grains in pegmatites. |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Appropriate for the purpose. | |
| 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. |
