QUARTERLY REPORT for the period ended 30 June 2017
SUMMARY
-
Cullen Resources Limited (“Cullen” or the “Company”) completed the sale of its 30% contributing interest in the Mt Stuart Iron Ore Joint Venture, tenements and associated interests, for a consideration of $2M cash plus a 1% Free On Board (F.O.B.) Royalty, and the initial cash payment of $1 million, has been received (CUL:ASX 12 April 2017). Cullen now holds iron ore Royalties (1 and 1.5 % F.O.B.) on any future production from two groups of West Pilbara tenements: one at Wyloo within Fortescue‟s proposed Western Hub; and the second as part of the proposed West Pilbara Iron Ore Project owned by Baosteel-AMCI-Posco-Aurizon. Although timing of any new iron mine development on these tenements is uncertain, Cullen considers these Royalties may potentially provide substantial future cash flows;
-
There are four, strike-extensive gold systems at Cullen‟s large, wholly-owned Mt Eureka Project, NE Goldfields, W.A., where focused, staged drilling is planned over the second half of calendar 2017;
-
Assay data from Cullen‟s recent, scout laterite sampling at Wongan Hills verify a strong, single-point multi-element anomaly from historical regional sampling. Two additional Cullen samples show a similar geochemical signature that resembles the geochemical signature in laterite at the Golden Grove volcanichosted massive sulphide (VHMS) deposit. Once land access agreements are obtained, next stage exploration may include detailed geochemical sampling and ground magnetic surveys to identify potential drill targets;
-
A field review during May of Cullen‟s three currently approved Reservations for lithium and base metals in Finland has confirmed prospectivity for lithium-bearing pegmatites within the Rita Reservation and further exploration is warranted; and,
-
Cullen maintained project generation activities, mainly for quality new exploration projects in Australia.

Quarterly Report – June 2017
MT EUREKA GOLD PROJECT, NE YILGARN, W.A. (Cullen 100%)
Results of on-going field reviews, new interpretation, and data interrogation of Cullen‟s multi-layer database for Mt Eureka, have focussed attention on four significant, strikeextensive gold mineralisation systems for further work. These large prospects areas (up to 5km of strike) are outlined by historical, relatively shallow RAB/aircore drilling with limited RC testing at depth as follows (Figs. 1 to 3):
-
Southern - Galway : the focus of Cullen‟s previous RC drilling programmes along major shear zone flexure;
-
Taipan : some wide-spaced RC drilling by Cullen and other explorers, and entirely open to the south;
-
Graf’s Find : no RC drilling to date, with recognition of a possible “domal geometry” controlling mineralisation; and,
-
Eureka NW : very limited, wide-spaced RC drilling by Cullen and some other explorers that intersected gold in Archaean conglomerate along western margin of greenstone belt.
==> picture [402 x 339] intentionally omitted <==
In Cullen’s view, the Mt Eureka project contains all the necessary geological components and strike-extensive geochemical and shallow drill anomalies to justify further substantial drilling to test for the occurrence of gold orebodies using geological models as typically applied in other Archaean greenstone belts in the Yilgarn, W.A.

Quarterly Report – June 2017
WONGAN HILLS PROJECT (Cullen 90%)
Cullen, together with consultant geologist Roger Thomson (10%), holds E70/4882 and two additional Exploration Licences (ELAs 70/4945 and 4957), in the Wongan Hills area. E70/4882 and ELA 70/4945, cover geochemical anomalies in laterite (from regional published datasets), and ELA 70/4957 covers a copper anomaly in laterite of similar tenor to the laterite anomaly which marks the nearby “Bindi” copper mineralisation held by Caravel Minerals (CVV: ASX), see Fig. 4 below.
Cullen has completed a reconnaissance laterite sampling programme centred on E70/4882 (32 samples) which shows widespread elevated As, Bi, Sb and Sn and verifies a strong, multi-element, single-point anomaly in the Yilgarn Laterite Atlas (“YLA”- Cornelius et al., 2007). This geochemical anomaly resembles the geochemical signature in laterite on the Golden Grove volcanic-hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) deposit. In addition to the verifying sample, two additional Cullen samples show a similar geochemical signature and using the CHI6* Geochemical Index (see Note below) a plot of Cullen‟s geochemical data shows a discrete area of interest (Fig. 4).
Previous exploration for gold by other companies in the Wongan Hills area provides historic BLEG and MMI geochemical data for Cu, Ag and Au with anomalies (see Karajas, 2005) that appear to be related to a subtle, north northeast trending aeromagnetic feature parallel and close to the three anomalous Cullen laterite samples although no drilling is recorded from this area (Fig.4).
In summary, Cullen‟s confirmatory geochemical assays, and the geological setting and character of the Wongan Hills greenstone belt provide encouragement for further exploration for VHMS-type mineralisation. Cullen is now working to obtain the necessary land access agreements which will permit the next stage of exploration. This is likely to comprise in the first instance in-fill laterite and soil sampling traverses.
Note : CHI6* Index (from Cornelius,M., 2017)
The CHI6 Index ( As+3.56Sb+10Bi+3Mo+30Ag+30Sn+10W+3.5Se ) was first introduced by Smith & Perdrix (1983) and highlights areas with anomalous concentrations of one or more of the eight critical chalcophile pathfinder elements that make up the index and that appear to characterize VHMS deposits, specifically the Golden Grove one. The pathfinder elements are empirically weighted to partly overcome the bias towards abundant elements that a simple sum would provide and that allows neighbouring high abundances in different elements to reinforce one another. However, very high concentrations of one or two elements can strongly bias the index. In Cullen’s dataset, only seven elements of the suite of eight show measurable concentrations; Selenium assays are less than the detection limit in all samples. Three of Cullen’s samples show a CHI6 >1000. One of these, sample 217040016 with the maximum value of 4355, was taken at the site of the original YLA sample 102709 that yielded a CHI6 score of 3361. Samples 217040016, 217040018 and 217040021 are located 600-700m apart and form an approximate north northeast trend (CHI6 anomaly in Fig.5), some 1.2 km long. Importantly, this trend is broadly aligned with a subtle aeromagnetic feature (Fig. 5) that is some 2.6km long. As mentioned above, sample 217040021 most probably constitutes ferricrete and not lateritic residuum; its composition and provenance must therefore be treated with caution.

Quarterly Report – June 2017
FINLAND (Cullen 100%)
Finland is a favourable exploration/mining jurisdiction and is very well located in Europe to meet increased future demand for lithium and related elements for new technologies. In Finland, Cullen has adopted a prospect generator/farm-out business model as practised by it in Australia over the past several years. This approach capitalises on the ready availability of excellent public geological databases in Finland and the low tenure costs in the early stages of exploration. Lithium, gold, copper and cobalt are Cullen‟s prime target commodities.
During the Quarter, Cullen completed a field review of its three approved Reservations (see Fig.5 below). On the basis of prospectivity, scope and results of previous exploration, and logistics, Cullen considers the Rita reservation in Western Finland, warrants further exploration. The Rita Reservation surrounds known spodumene-bearing pegmatites with defined lithium resources (owned by Finnish Company Keliber Oy , www.keliber.fi ).
==> picture [377 x 293] intentionally omitted <==
During the March Quarter, Cullen made application for a Reservation in northern Finland - within the Central Lapland greenstone belt. This belt hosts the +7Moz Kittila gold deposit and a recent high-profile discovery at “Risti” by Canadian explorer Aurion Resources. It is currently the focus of exploration by multiple international companies. Compilation of existing data for this area is underway (Fig.6).

Data description as required by the 2012 JORC Code - Section 1 and Section 2, Table 1 (Laterite sampling at Wongan Hills – EL 70/4882) Section 1 Sampling techniques and data
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
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 meaningof sampling_._ |
A total of 32 reconnaissance samples of lateritic residuum i.e. ferruginous gravel and ferruginous duricrust. In addition, one sample of outcropping BIF and two samples of lag – ferruginous gravel and lesser lithic material were collected at surface from public access pathways and road sidings in May 2017. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used |
Samples were handpicked of available material at surface and a handheld GPS was used to determine the sample locations. Coordinates are in grid GDA94 Z50 |
|
| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public report |
Notes of colour, roundness, regolith setting and topography were made for each sample. |
|
| 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. |
Samples were collected by hand from an area measuring approximately 10x10m. Where material is scarce, a larger area was sampled (25 x25m) to obtain sufficient sample. |
|
| Drilling techniques |
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 used |
| Drill Sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed |
Not applicable – no drilling used |
| Measurements taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
Not applicable – no drilling used | |
| 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 used | |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. |
Laterite samples were examined and described for all features and the geology, topography and surface type noted. Photographs were taken of sub-crop, landform and setting where appropriate. |
| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel etc) photography. |
Logging is qualitative only | |
| The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged |
Not applicable – no drilling used | |

| Sub-sampling techniques and sample **preparation ** |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. |
No subsampling or sieving is done in the field. The total sample is submitted to the laboratory and all sample preparation is done there. |
|---|---|---|
| If non-core, whether riffles, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. |
All samples were collected dry by hand. | |
| For all sample types, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
All sample preparation is carried out at Bureau Veritas laboratory and is considered appropriate and to industry standard, to the best of our knowledge. |
|
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivityof samples. |
Laboratory international standards and duplicate splits were inserted by BVM |
|
| 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. |
Two field duplicates were collected and results area considered satisfactory |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Samples are considered adequate in size for the type of material sampled |
|
| The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. |
The assaying is industry standard in quality and total, and appropriate for the objectives of the sampling. Laboratory QA/QC involves the use of internal lab standards using certified reference material, blanks, splits and duplicates. Samples were submitted to Bureau Veritas Minerals (BVM) in Perth sorted, dried, and whole sample crushed and pulverize to 85% passing – 75μm. A barren flush was pulverised between each sample. The samples were digested with a mixture of four acids which approaches a total digest for many element. and analysed for a suite of elements via ICPMS or ICPOES . XRF analyses on a glass bead (total analysis) were done for the oxides and some minor elements.Gold and some other elements were analysed following an Aqua Regia digest. For comparison with the other techniques, all samples were also analysed by laser ablation ICPMS using the XRF beads. |
|
| 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. |
Not applicable – no such instruments used in the field. | |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
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. |

Quarterly Report – June 2017
| 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 usually material and should be stated. |
No averaging or aggregation techniques have been used. No top cuts and no metal equivalent values have been used in this report. |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
Not applicable – no drilling used | |
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearlystated. |
Not applicable - no metal equivalent values have been used in this report. |
|
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
Not applicable – no drilling used |
| If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known,its nature should be reported. |
Not applicable – no drilling used | |
| 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‟) |
Not applicable – no drilling used | |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should 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.. |
Not applicable – a general location figure depicting the geological setting of the laterite anomalies is appropriate and included. |
| 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 reportingof Exploration Results. |
All relevant pathfinder elements of the laterite samples taken are reported. |
| 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. |
