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):

  1. Southern - Galway : the focus of Cullen‟s previous RC drilling programmes along major shear zone flexure;

  2. Taipan : some wide-spaced RC drilling by Cullen and other explorers, and entirely open to the south;

  3. Graf’s Find : no RC drilling to date, with recognition of a possible “domal geometry” controlling mineralisation; and,

  4. 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

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

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.
From ground examination there does not appear to have been
any previous drilling or exploration in the area of the historic
geochemical anomaly reported in the YLA and referenced in
this report.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further
work (eg tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).
Further geological, geophysical and geochemical work will be
considered once the required land access agreements are in
place
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas
of possible extensions, including the
main geological interpretations and
future drilling areas, providing this
information is not commercially
sensitive.
Figures included showing location and geological setting of the
geochemical results. No drilling used.
