HIGHLIGHTS
1. Wongan Hills, W.A. – Initial RC drill test planned
-
An air core hole, “19WAC48”, drilled in March, intersected: 5m @ 0.82% Cu, 0.34 g/t Au with 215 ppm Bi from 55-60m depth and overlies an interpreted bedrock conductor
-
The VTEM response around this drill hole models as a SSE striking, NNE dipping conductor along ~150m of strike from a vertical depth of 150m , is parallel to the strike of the Prospective Corridor, and is a priority RC drill target
-
An access and compensation agreement has been executed to allow air core drilling across the CHI-3 Index laterite anomaly – a first pass test of the southern part of the Prospective Corridor.
2. Tuckabianna, near Cue, W.A. – advanced target generation
- An air core drilling program of ~1500m is being prepared to test VTEM anomalies immediately east of the Hollandaire base metal prospect - previously held by Musgrave Minerals Limited (ASX:MGV), and recently acquired by Arc Exploration Limited (ASX:ARX 29-3-2019).
3. Mt Eureka project, east of Wiluna, W.A. – gold and nickel
- Cullen completed a further reconnaissance air core drilling program in November 2018 over the Eureka NW; Southern-Galway; and Graf’s Find gold prospects. Gold anomalies were returned from each of these target areas – best 15m @ 0.55g/t Au and 5m @ 1.16 g/t Au at Southern; and 5m @ 0.92 g/t Au at Eureka NW (5m composite samples - ASX: CUL 8 Feb 2019).
4. Iron ore royalties – significant assets back in focus
- Cullen holds a 1.5% F.O.B. royalty on up to 15 Mt of any iron ore production from the Wyloo project tenements, within Fortescue’s Western Hub/Eliwana project (development underway) and an uncapped 1% F.O.B. royalty on any iron ore production from the former Mt Stuart Iron Ore Joint Venture tenements, also in the West Pilbara, W.A.

Cullen Resources Limited Quarterly Report for the period ending 31 March 2019
WONGAN HILLS, E’s 70/4882, 5162 and 5201, ~180 km north-east of Perth, base metals and gold project (Cullen 90% - Tregor Pty Ltd 10%)
Background
In January, Cullen completed first pass air core drilling (47 holes for 1,940m) that intersected a sequence of mafic rocks and metasediments overlain by buried laterite (ASX: CUL, 21 Feb 2019). Assays defined a significant copper +/multi-element trend in weathered bedrock, open in both directions along strike and coincident with a trend of interpreted VTEM bedrock conductors (“Prospective Corridor”).
During the Quarter, Cullen also completed (Figs. 1 and 2):
-
a short, follow-up air core hammer drill programme;
-
compilation of buried laterite sample assays;
-
compilation of 1m resamples assays from anomalous 5m composites;
-
ground EM surveying and interpretation; and,
-
modelling of magnetic anomalies and interpreted VTEM conductors.
Follow-up air core drilling programme – March 2019
Five air core holes for 290m (19WAC48-52) were drilled below some of the better copper anomalies from the January air core programme. Drilling was at a spacing of 20m or 40m on two lines 400m apart along strike, using a track-mounted rig (Edson 3000) with a 4 inch hammer . Penetration rate in fresh bedrock was very poor and not cost effective, thus limiting the scope of this programme (Table 1).
As in the January programme, the drilling encountered transported clay, a buried laterite horizon (+/- pisolites) and saprolitic bedrock above fresh, variably laminated quartz-amphibole rocks (interpreted to be mafics and/or metasediments). The analytical results (Table 2), show anomalous copper >300ppm in 5m composite or 1m samples in each hole, with hole “19WAC48”, drilled within the Prospective Corridor, returning the most significant result: 5m @ 0.82% Cu, 0.34 g/t Au with 215 ppm Bi from 55-60m depth – composite sample. The VTEM response around this drill hole was modelled by Southern Geoscience Consultants (SGC) as a SSE striking, NNE steeply dipping conductor along ~150m of strike and from a vertical depth of 150m – this model is parallel to the strike of the Prospective Corridor and is a priority RC drill target. The magnetic model in this area, is slightly displaced from the VTEM model, with a similar strike and steep dip but from a shallow (~30m) depth.

Cullen Resources Limited Quarterly Report for the period ending 31 March 2019
Ground EM Surveys
During the Quarter, ground EM surveys were completed over three interpreted VTEM conductors within the Prospective Corridor. Southern Geoscience Consultants (SGC) reported that the TEM responses obtained might be caused by soil and/or near surface “interference” and tested soil samples from across the VTEM anomalies for magnetic viscosity[1] . They concluded that the soils had strong magnetic viscosity with the potential to generate SPM[2 ] (Superparamagnetism) responses in an EM survey. SGC further concluded that SPM cannot be ruled out as the source in each of the three VTEM responses tested by ground EM surveys. However, Cullen will model and drill those VTEM responses (from the June 2018 survey) which are coincident with favourable geological and/or geochemical anomalies under a VHMS model. (No ground EM results reported herein).
Conclusions
-
Compilation of drilling results, mapping and regolith interpretation indicate that the Prospective Corridor is broadly coincident with an interpreted strikeextensive, metasediment - mafic contact;
-
RC drilling is planned to test the modelled VTEM anomaly beneath the copper-gold anomaly in drillhole 19WAC48;
-
Air core drilling is planned to test across the core of the strike extensive CHI-3 laterite anomaly in the area south-east of the drilling to date; and,
-
RC and air core drilling will be initiated in the June Quarter - subject to Programme of Work (POW) approvals and drill rig availability.
Notes
1 Magnetic viscosity is a form of magnetic remanence caused by the alignment of ferrimagnetic / superparamagnetic particles under the influence of a strong external magnetic field. Magnetic viscosity is temperature and frequency dependent. When the external magnetic field is removed (i.e. as in a time domain EM survey) the induced magnetisation decays according to the 1/t law – this decaying magnetic moment will induce a signal in an EM sensor (e.g. EM coil or magnetometer sensor as used in an EM survey).
2 These ferrimagnetic / superparamagnetic particles are very small usually <50 nm such that they are on the boundary of stable single domain and superparamagnetic properties. They are too small to see with the naked eye.

NORTH TUCKABIANNA PROJECT, E20/714 - Cullen 100%
E20/714 lies along the Tuckabianna gold trend. Exploration by Cullen has included VTEM surveying, ground/downhole EM, RC drilling and downhole EM, plant and rock chip geochemistry, and data compilation. Musgrave Minerals Limited (ASX: MGV) has previously explored the Mt Eelya and Hollandaire base metal prospects.
A number of gold and base metal targets (from geochemistry and geophysics data) within E20/714 remain to be fully tested. An intrusion-related/porphyry mineralisation style for copper, beneath the felsic Eelya complex has previously been postulated by Cullen. An air core drilling programme of approximately 1500m is being prepared to target untested VTEM anomalies immediately east of Hollandaire prospect (Fig. 3). Anomalies include those from the original survey data review and those from a more recent interpretation (new).

IRON ORE ROYALTIES - significant assets back in focus
Cullen holds a 1.5% F.O.B. royalty up to 15 Mt of any iron ore production from the Wyloo project tenements, part of Fortescue’s proposed Western Hub/Eliwana project, and will receive $900,000 cash if and when a decision is made to commence mining on a commercial basis – E47/1649, 1650, ML 47/1488-1490, and ML 08/502. A mine and railway development for Fortescue’s Eliwana (Western Hub) project is underway.
Cullen holds a 1% F.O.B. royalty on any iron ore production from the former Mt Stuart Iron Ore Joint Venture – E08/1135, E08/1330, E08/1341, E08/1292, ML08/481, and ML08/482 – part of the West Pilbara Iron Ore Project owned by the APIJV (Aquila/Baosteel, Posco, AMCI) and the RHIJV (Red Hill Iron Limited –APIJV). Cullen 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 (ASX :CUL 10-3-2015), and a Reserve of 83Mt @ 55.1% Fe (ASX:CUL 16-9-2015) - ML08/481.

Mt EUREKA PROJECT - gold and nickel (Cullen 100%)
Cullen completed a reconnaissance air core drilling program in November 2018 over the Eureka NW; Southern-Galway; and Graf’s Find gold prospects (ASX:CUL 8 Feb 2019). Gold anomalies were returned from each of these target areas tested – best 15m @ 0.55g/t Au and 5m @ 1.16 g/t Au at Southern; and 5m @ 0.92 g/t Au at Eureka NW (5m composite samples).
A review of these results, together with previous Mt Eureka exploration and drilling, and comparisons with more mature greenstone belts is on-going. In Cullen’s opinion, these prospects have significant upside potential for the following reasons:
-
Drilling to date has been limited and generally shallow (<80m);
-
Geology of the Mt Eureka greenstone belt is favourable in comparison to other prolific NE Goldfields greenstone belts;
-
Several prospects and geological settings show strong analogies to significant gold deposits and/or prospects in the Yandal greenstone belt.
In particular, NE trending structures cut a mafic-ultramafic contact with NE trending porphyry intrusives at:
- Cullen’s Southern – Galway prospect area (see Echo’s Resources Limited’s presentation, ASX:EAR 14 March 2019, regarding the Bronzewing gold deposit); and,
Also:
- there may be untested gold prospectivity along NE trending structures in granite as exemplified by Northern Star Resources Ltd’s Ramone Prospect (stock work veins in granitoid – see presentation, ASX:NST 6 Aug 2018).
First principle controls to gold deposits in Archaean greenstone belts are well presented in the Mt Eureka greenstone belt including: shear zone flexures, felsic intrusives, mafic-ultramafic contacts, gravity gradient contacts (Fig.5) and multiple gold anomalous drill intersections across numerous settings. The Eureka NW, Southern-Galway, and Graf’s Find corridor of gold prospects has many such features and further drilling is warranted. RC drilling at Southern is being prepared in the first instance (Figs 6 and 7).

Soil sampling
In November/December 2018, a total of 416 soil samples was collected from parts of E53/1893, 1957 and 1961 targeting lithological contacts and interpreted faults/shears for gold mineralisation. Samples were collected on a 400 x 50m grid over complex, dominantly sandy, regolith terrains and analyzed using the “Terraleach TM” partial leach technique for gold. The compiled assays highlight the discrete, interpreted felsic intrusive body within western margin of the greenstone belt for further investigation where the maximum value for the survey (4.16ppb Au) was obtained (Fig.8).

| 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 meaningof sampling. |
416 Soil samples (200-300g) were collected with a hand tool from 0-0.1m depth on an approximately 400m x 100m grid. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used |
Sample locations were determined using a hand held GPS, with an estimated error is +/-5 m. Soil sample co-ordinates are in UTM grid (GDA94 Z51). Elevation was determined by hand held GPS and is approximate only. No measurement tools other than a hand held GPS were used. |
|
| 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. |
Soil samples were analyzed using Intertek's proprietary Terra Leach (TL1 MS) partial leach method and ICP- MS for Gold (Au). Intertek's laboratory QAQC includes standards, blanks and repeats. Precision and accuracy of the analyses, based on the available data, are acceptable |
|
| Drilling technique |

| 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 meaningof sampling. |
Sampling was by air core (AC) drilling testing depth of transported cover, bedrock type and interpreted geological and/or geophysical targets - 5 holes for 290m was completed. 58 1m resamples from 5m composites from previous January air core program were collected (JORC Tables reported CUL: ASX announcement – 21 -2-2019) |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used |
The collar positions were located using handheld GPS units with an approximate accuracy of +/- 5 m. Drill rig cyclone and sampling tools cleaned regularly during drilling. |
|
| 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. |
Mineralisation determined qualitatively from rock type, alteration, structure and veining observations. Air core drilling was used to obtain one metre samples delivered through a cyclone. The 1m sample was collected in a plastic bag. From each bag, a ~500g sample was then collected using a spear or scoop, five of such 1m samples were combined into one 5m composite sample. The composite and 1m samples (2-3kg) were sent to Perth laboratoryMinAnalyticalfor analysis. |
|
| 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.). |
Drilling was by air core using a 90mm diameter bit and/or a 4inch air core hammer |
| Drill Sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed |
Sample recovery was assessed visually and adverse recovery recorded. The samples were generally dry to damp, showed little (<10%) variation in volume. |
| Measurements taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
The samples were visually checked for recovery, contamination and water content; the results were recorded on log sheets. Cyclone and buckets were cleaned regularly and thoroughly (between rod changes and after completion of each drill hole) to minimise cross contamination. |
|
| 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. |
The holes were generally dry - no significant loss/gain of material introducing a sample bias. |
|
| 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. |
All samples were qualitatively logged by a geologist in order to provide a geological framework for the interpretation of the analytical data. |

| 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. |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. |
The drilling is exploratory only and designed to test geophysical and geological targets, to assist in mapping, and for the presence of mineralisation below transported cover. The drill orientation was easterly (090 degrees) utilizing existing farm tracks, and at a dip angle of -60 degrees. It is unclear whether the sampling is unbiased or not. |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |
The exact dip of the structures targeted has not been established yet but it is likely that the drilled intersections overestimate the true thickness of any intersected mineralisation. |

| 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 whythis is the case. |
See included table | |
| 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. |
See included table |
| 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. |
See included table | |
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearlystated. |
No metal equivalents used. | |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
Drilling was at -60 degree angles to test prospective geological settings beneath previous air core anomalies. The stratigraphy encountered in drilling is interpreted to be variably dipping to west. Any mineralisation intercepts are likely to overstate the true width of mineralisation. |
| If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. |
The exact geometry of the mineralisation is not yet known. |
|
| If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’) |
See Table in report | |
| 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. |
See included figures |

Cullen Resources Limited Quarterly Report for the period ending 31 March 2019
| 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. |
See included Table |
|---|---|---|
| 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 containingsubstances. |
