RC Drilling to commence
A single “Slimline RC” drill hole was completed in January on-section west of 19WAC48 - 6593100mN (Figs. 1 and 2 and ASX :CUL, 29-1-2020) and thereafter a heritage review was completed to allow for earthworks required to initiate deeper drilling (RC/diamond, ~1000m with EIS funding) beneath air core anomalies.
This review highlighted that ~ 50% of proposed drill sites requiring prior heritage surveying, are currently impacted by COVID-19 restrictions. However, two proposed sites have been cleared for further drilling, planned to commence this week.
Cullen proposes that the mainly mafic lithologies intersected to date are potentially the hanging wall stratigraphy of a Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) system and that the footwall stratigraphy, which may include felsic volcanics, lies further east.

Drilling will initially test:
-
On-section of the interpreted, west to steeply-dipping anomalous copper zones (package true thickness ~75m) around 19WAC48 on 6593100mN to the east and west, and following heritage surveying thereafter;
-
South along the target trend (“Prospective Corridor”) of VTEM anomalies and air core copper anomalies Cullen has previously reported (Figs.1 and 2).

New target identified with Pt, Pd, Au, Cu soil anomalies from a previous explorer
Five soil samples were collected within E5162 by a previous explorer in 2015. Samples were from road side Reserves, of 200-300g, taken from 30-50cm depth, and sieved to -1.6mm. Assays were by aqua regia digest with ICP-MS finish.
The results reported (Table 1 below) show anomalous Pd, Pt, Au, Cu , and elevated levels of several other metals (all ppm except where shown).

The two most anomalous soil samples are 500m apart, and spatially associated with a prominent, large gravity high (Figs. 3 and 4). There are no bedrock exposures in the vicinity of the soil samples or the general area of the gravity anomaly. Cullen plans to undertake a field review followed by soil sampling and/or detailed gravity surveying.

Regional Exploration Activity and Mineralisation includes : the recent 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;16-42020). Thus, attention now focused on what may be an emerging Nickel - Copper - PGE province to the north east of Perth (Fig.3). 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.

BARLEE PROJECT - ELs 77/2606, 57/1135 (Cullen 100%), 10 - 55 km SSE of the Penny West Gold deposit , W.A.
Cullen holds two contiguous tenements totaling ~350sq km stretching from south of the Youanmi greenstone belt, towards the NW tip of the Marda-Diemals greenstone belt (Fig.5). The tenements cover significant strike lengths of previously underexplored, interpreted shear zones, plus numerous elongate and/or folded aeromagnetic anomalies (highs) which appear to be intercalated amphibolite within the granite terrane. A regional data review and field reconnaissance was completed in December 2019. This work, via existing access tracks, confirmed sheared amphibolite - granite contacts and parallel quartz veining occurs in target areas.
==> picture [435 x 344] intentionally omitted <==
Fig.5 Geological setting of now granted tenure south east of the Youanmi greenstone belt (base map and geological descriptions from “Geoview”).
Available geological maps of E77/2606 show a stratigraphy of: 1) basement biotite metagranite; 2) schistose (sheared) metagranite with inclusions of amphibolite; 3) a thick section of metamonzogranite to metagranodiorite ; and,
4) bounding basement metagranite, from west to east (on “GeoVIEW”) – Fig.6. Cullen proposes that the schistose metagranite with amphibolite lenses along the contact of the western basement granite is a geological setting closely analogous to that at Penny West South prospect, which Aldoro has drill tested
(ASX:ARN, 12 21 and 25 Feb 2020). This target stratigraphy stretches over at least 10km of strike within the central part of Cullen’s E77/2606.
8
In addition, the stratigraphy to the east of this contact (~5km in width) may also include prospective, sheared greenstone lenses - metagranodiorite contacts, based on aeromagnetic imagery (see Fig.6 below processed from “GeoVIEW” database). Such contacts are additional geological settings analogous to the Penny West South prospect and Penny West deposit and its nearby prospects (ASX:SPX, 21 Feb 2020).

PIPELINE PROJECTS
FINLAND
Cullen has made an application for an Exploration Permit (“Katajavaara”), in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt of northern Finland. Cullen’s application, estimated to be processed over the coming 6-12 months, adjoins S2 Resources Ltd’s (S2R) Aakenusvaara Exploration Permit to the east along strike, from where S2R has reported a potential gold discovery (ASX:S2R,19-8-2019) and an intersection of 2.11m @ 86 g/t Au from its drilling (ASX:S2R, 26-9-2019).
NEW APPLICATIONS
The Company has recently made two other Exploration Licence applications for Ni-Cu-PGE exploration as follows:
13
The first of these, Balla, is approximately 700km north of Perth and close to the north-western edge of the Archaen Yilgarn Craton. The application covers a number of aeromagnetic anomalies from regional government data bases which may be interpreted as mafic-ultramafic intrusions. The application is along strike to the south - west of known Ni , Pt , Pd, Cr prospects , such as Milly Milly, Byro, and Taccabba Well.
A second application covers the Yornup Northeast chromium prospect from where an intersection of 2m at 7.4% Cr has been reported by West Coast Holdings (Chadwick, 1986). Yornup Northeast is part of a trend of nickel and chromium occurrences including Palgarup (Ni) and Yornup South (Ni and Cr) trending NESW in the Balingup Complex of south west WA. The ultramafic–mafic complex at Yornup consists of olivine gabbronorite, harzburgite, lherzolite, and dunite that have been extensively serpentinized (Hassan, 1998).
A review of open file exploration reports will be undertaken as a first pass.

| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgement and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Exploration by numerous prior parties was restricted to the southern part of greenstone belt and its eastern margin to a lesser extent. Very limited drilling west of the core of the greenstone belt by previous explorers, in the area of Cullen’s focus. There has been previous drilling by Cullen in the general area of a significant laterite anomaly - as reported previously. The historical, reconnaissance soil sampling assays reported herein were reviewed in, and taken from WAMEX reportsA108542,A112459 and A 116370by Mount Gibson Mining Limited – Annual reports, 2016, 2017 and 2018. (www.geoview.dmp.wa.gov.au) Their descriptions state that samples were taken from roadside reserves at 30-50cm depth, with 200-300g sieved to -1.6mm. Assaying was by Aqua Regia digest with ICP-MS analysis (see Table in text). The laboratory used is known to use international standards and blanks for quality control. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological settings and style of mineralisation. |
The targeted mineralisation is volcanic-hosted massive sulphide type base metal - Cu-Au mineralisation. Greenstone belt setting with lithologies of BIF, mafics, hornblende schist, felsic intrusives, felsic volcanics, granites and gneiss – from aeromagnetic data interpretation and regional mapping. Outcrops are limited to the central core of the greenstone belt and flanked by thick laterites - in situ and transported. |
| Drill hole information |
A summary of all information material for the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: |
No Drilling completed. |
| · E_asting and northing of the drill_ hole collar |
No Drilling completed. | |
| ·Elevation or RL (Reduced level- elevation above sea level in metres)and the drill hole collar |
21
| ·Dip and azimuth of the hole | ||
|---|---|---|
| ·Down hole length and interception depth |
||
| ·Hole length | ||
| 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. |
No Drilling completed. | |
| 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 Drilling completed. |
| 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. |
No Drilling completed. | |
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearlystated. |
No Drilling completed. | |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
No Drilling completed. |
| If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. |
No Drilling completed. | |
| 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’) |
No Drilling completed. | |
| 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. |
No Drilling completed – see previous ASX reports by Cullen. |

| 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. |
See included figures where current reported data shown together with interpretation of previous drill hole information. There are currently no other exploration data that appear meaningful in the context of the reported results. |
| 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 work, including air core, RC and/or diamond drilling, and DHEM has been planned. |
| Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, providing this information is not commerciallysensitive. |
