HIGHLIGHTS

WONGAN HILLS PROJECT - targeting Volcanic-Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) mineralisation (Cullen 90%)

  • Following the rain-interrupted program (ASX: CUL, 21-8-2020), RC and air core drilling are planned to commence in December, subject to the end of wheat harvest.

  • A new target trend of VTEM, and historical Au, Ag and Cu soil anomalies, is recognised in a stratigraphic corridor to the north of the Rupert Prospect (ASX:CUL, 22-6 and 15-7-2020), with ground EM and/or air core traversing also planned to commence in December.

  • A private land access agreement has been signed to enable exploration to the south of the Rupert Prospect on previously untested coincident VTEM and soil anomalies, commencing in January.

  • Zinc and copper bedrock anomalies in Cullen’s previous air core drilling are coincident with silver anomalies in soils and define a new VHMS target trend named Louise.

  • The large gravity anomaly in the southern part of the E4882, and ELA 70/5414, that adjoins Liontown’s (ASX:LTR) Moora Nickel Project to the east, are under initial investigation for mafic-ultramafic hosted Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation potential, with mapping, soil sampling and, potentially, air core drilling to follow.

  • Together these developments provide an expanded project area and additional targets that warrants an exploration focus in the coming three months, and especially post the wheat harvest.

Fig.2 Project Location Map

Wongan Hills Project on regional gravity image (1VD) from government database (“Geoview”), hot colours are positive. Regional Exploration Activity and Mineralisation includes : the Nickel-Palladium (Ni-Pd) discovery by Chalice Gold Mines Limited at Julimar (ASX:CHN, 15-4-2020); the Nickel - Copper - PGE mineralisation at Yarawindah being explored by Cassini Resources Limited (see ASX:CZI, 16-4-2020); and exploration results reported by Liontown Resources Limited at their Moora Nickel Project (ASX:LTR;16-4-2020). Thus, industry attention now focussed on what may be an emerging Nickel - Copper - PGE province to the north east of Perth. There is also a notable copper resource near Calingiri (see Caravel Minerals Limited, ASX:CVV, “Caravel Copper Project”) just south of the Wongan Hills project.

Quarterly Report - September 2020

Cullen currently exploring three VHMS prospects: “Wongan”, “Rupert” and “Louise”.

Wongan Prospect – RC drilling to test VTEM anomalies

The Wongan Prospect and its target “Stratigraphic Corridor”, defined by a Golden Grove-type laterite geochemical anomaly and a cluster of VTEM anomalies, has been the focus of exploration to date. This exploration has included: ground EM surveying, and air core, RC and diamond drilling, focused on section 6593100mN beneath the highest values of the laterite anomaly (ASX: CUL, 15-7-2020). Ground EM could not resolve or refine the VTEM response in this area due to the presence of conductive overburden, and DHEM surveying, completed on diamond drill hole 20WHD001 in September, did not detect any near hole conductors.

However, Cullen plans further drilling to depth to the west of current drilling on section 6539100mN (Fig.4). In Cullen’s opinion, the extent of base metal mineralisation discovered to date (ASX:CUL, 15-7-2020) does not account for the intensity of the laterite anomaly in this area nor the VTEM anomalies.

Rupert Prospect – extension ground EM, air core and RC drilling planned

“Rupert”, approximately 3km to the east of “Wongan”, is an important, new, untested VHMS target trend with coincident ground EM conductors and associated geochemical anomalies, and favorable geology (ASX:CUL, 22-6-2020 and 15-72020). Importantly, a recently-negotiated access agreement now permits exploration of the area to the south of the Rupert EM plates, over which there has been minimal previous exploration. An RC drill rig to be employed to test the EM plates as soon as practical after wheat harvesting (Fig.5).

Compilation of historical soil sampling data indicates significant geochemical anomalies (Ag, Au and Cu) with coincident VTEM conductors to the north and south of the modelled EM plates. Ground EM surveying and/or air core drilling are planned (see Figures 5 and 6 following).

Quarterly Report - September 2020

Louise Prospect

The historical Louise soil anomaly (Fig. 6) forms a coherent trend lying west of the Wongan laterite anomaly, and is now regarded as a discrete VHMS target. Higher BLEG silver assays in the southern part of the Louise anomaly form a NNE trend parallel to stratigraphy (magnetics interpretation). Although Cullen’s air core drilling to date indicates thick cover of transported lateritic pisolites, bedrock anomalies of copper and zinc along this silver anomaly trend warrant in-fill air core and potentially, deeper RC drill testing to follow. (The general area of interest is shown as a yellow oval on Figs. 5 and 6). This work is planned for a December start.

BARLEE PROJECT - ELs 77/2606, 57/1135 (Cullen 100%)

The project area extends from 10 - 55 km SSE of the Penny Gold (previously “Penny West”) deposit and the Youanmi greenstone belt, towards the NW tip of the Marda - Diemals greenstone belt (Fig.9). It covers significant strike of underexplored shear zones and numerous elongate and/or folded aeromagnetic anomalies (highs), which are interpreted to be intercalated greenstone within the granite terrane.

Soil sample assays and targeting (E2606)

As previously reported (ASX:CUL, 23-7-2020), soil sampling assays (aqua regia digest, ICP-MS finish) showed some elevated pathfinder elements (As,Bi,Cu,Ni,Zn, and Pb) in the general area of some magnetic anomalies interpreted as greenstone (see Fig.10 below). First pass auger sampling is planned to prioritise targeting and drilling.

NORTH TUCKABIANNA PROJECT, E20/714 (Cullen 100%), centered ~30km east of Cue, in the Murchison Region, gold and base metals

Cullen holds E20/714 centered ~30km east of Cue, in the Murchison Region of Western Australia (Fig.11). Cullen completed two “Slimline” RC holes (223m) to test DHEM anomalies for base metal sulphides, ~2.5km along strike to the east of Cyprium’s Colonel Prospect and north east of its Mt Eelya Prospect (ASX: CYM 8-7-2020). Both holes intersected thick zones of pyritisation (2-50% per metre, in down hole sections up to ~20m thick) in felsic volcanics. This pyritisation is coincident with the DHEM plate in both holes, and is clearly the cause of the two EM anomalies targeted. Only geochemically anomalous base metals assays ( best 35m @ 310ppm Cu downhole – TNRC19 ) were returned.

The felsic volcanics intersected comprise sheared andesite and quartz mica schists in contact with mafic volcanics to the south, and intermediate tuffs and lavas to the north. The strata are interpreted to be on-strike of the Colonel mineralisation and they appear to continue eastwards, as indicated by air magnetics images. Further exploration along trend to the east is under consideration.

A short reconnaissance air core program (21 holes for 793m) was also completed to test interpreted N-S trending shear zones/faults, which are at a high-angle to the “Tuckabianna Gold Trend”. Zone of shearing and some quartz veining were intersected in several holes supporting the interpretation of the N-S trending structures, but no significant gold assays (5m composite > 0.1g/t Au) were returned. There are numerous other N-S structures and their intersections with stratigraphic boundaries will be reviewed as potential additional gold targets (Fig.11).

Sampling was by “Slim Line RC” (RC) drilling testing
bedrock and interpreted geological and/or geophysical
targets for gold mineralisation and/or base metals.
Two RC holes for 223m, and 21 air core holes for 793m
were completed.

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.
RC and air core drilling was used to obtain one metre
samples delivered through a cyclone. The 1m sample
was placed on the ground and, a ~500g sample was
collected using a scoop and five of such 1m samples
were combined into one 5m composite sample.
The composite samples (2-3kg) were sent to Perth
laboratory Minanalytical for analysis.

results assessed
RC and air core sample recovery was assessed visually
and adverse recovery recorded. The samples were
generally dry, a few were damp, and showed some
(<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
as required and after completion).
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 kept dry and there was 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 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.

Bismuth (Bi) Copper (Cu), Cobalt (Co), Molybdenum
(Mo), Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb), Antimony (Sb), Tellurium
(Te), Tungsten (W) and Zinc (Zn)) was analyzed by
Aqua Regia digest with ICP-MS finish.(Gold by AAS).
Quality control procedures adopted for
all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
Duplicates certified reference materials and blanks are
inserted by the laboratory and reported in the final assay
report. Check analyses were also undertaken by the
laboratory.
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.
No field duplicate samples were taken – one metre
resampling and duplicating was anticipated for any
mineralised intersections.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate
to the grain size of the material being
sampled.
The sample size is considered appropriate for the
purpose
of
this
drilling
programme,
which
is
reconnaissance only, primarily aimed at establishing
bedrock mineralisation and source of EM anomalies
(RC drilling) and presence of favourable shear structures
forgold(air core).
The nature, quality and appropriateness
of
the
assaying
and
laboratory
procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.
For all samples, a 25g aliquot is digested using Aqua
Regia. Analysis for gold and a range of other trace
elements is by ICP-MS or AAS. The aqua regia
digestion is considered partial depending on the host of
the elements analyzed, but does provide an acceptable
level of accuracy for an initial assessment of the
contained target elements.
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,

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 reconnaissance level and designed to test
geophysical and geological targets, to assist in mapping,
and to test for mineralisation below anomalies. The RC
drill orientation was northerly (000°), and air core
drilling along existing tracks at ~ 270,225,255, or 180°.
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.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
All drilling samples are handled, transported and
delivered to the laboratory by Cullen staff. All samples
were accounted for.
Audits or

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.
N/A
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.
RC and AC Drilling was at -60 degree angles. The
stratigraphy encountered in RC drilling appears to be
dipping to the south at a moderate angle (~50°) and any
mineralisation intercepts are likely to be close to 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/intersections 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 (e.g. ‘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

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

results;
bulk
density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious
or containingsubstances.
