Quarterly Report for the period ending 31 December 2019

www.cullenresources.com.au ASX:CUL 29 January 2020

HIGHLIGHTS

WONGAN HILLS – targeting Volcanic-Hosted Massive Sulphides (VHMS) base metal mineralisation

  • A single “Slimline RC” drill hole (20WHRC001) beneath copper sulphide mineralisation from previous air core drilling, intersected a zone of anomalous copper - 10m @ 465ppm Cu (from 55-65m, 5m composites) with elevated, Bi, W, and Au (see Table 1) - 1m re-assays to follow.

  • This result, and on-going compilation and interpretation continue to support a VHMS model with follow-up Down Hole Electro Magnetic surveying (DHEM) and deeper drill testing planned.

BROMUS SOUTH – new project for gold and nickel

  • Air core drilling to commence at Bromus South in the 1[st] half of this calendar year, targeting a sheared, granite-greenstone contact and an historical gold-in-soil anomaly, subject to access following extensive bush fires in the Norseman area since December 2019.

NORTH TUCKABIANNA – targeting (VHMS) base metal mineralisation

  • 2 RC drill holes have been planned to test DHEM anomalies in the Eelya Felsic Complex – at a prospect just east of known base metal mineralisation at the Colonel Prospect (Cyprium Metals Limited, ASX:CYM).

BARLEE – new project for gold

  • Field reconnaissance completed at two contiguous exploration licence applications that stretch from 10 – 55 km SSE of the Penny West Gold deposit.

  • Regolith mapping and prospecting on existing tracks confirmed elongate, ~5km long aeromagnetic anomaly (high), is a sheared amphibolite at a granite contact marking a prime target for follow-up exploration upon tenement grant.

WONGAN HILLS PROJECT, E’s 70/4882, 5162 and 5201, (Cullen 90% - Tregor Pty Ltd 10%): ~180 km north-east of Perth, base metals and gold project

A single “Slimline RC” drill hole was completed in early January on-section west of 19WAC48 - 6593100mN (Figs. 1 and 2) and to allow for follow-up Down Hole Electro Magnetic surveying (DHEM). Interpretation of the drill hole data onsection indicates thin, steeply - dipping zones of hydrothermal alteration (quartzepidote) with traces to low levels (1-2%) of sulphides (including chalcopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite). The hole intersected 10m @ 465ppm Cu (from 55-65m, 5m composites) with elevated, Bi, W, and Au (see Table 1) - 1m re-assays to follow.

These alteration-sulphide zones have the same pathfinder geochemical characteristics of the large laterite anomaly, which first attracted Cullen to the target area. However, in Cullen’s opinion, given the size and strength of the CHI3 laterite anomaly ( CHI-3 = As+3Sb+10Bi+10Cd+10In+3Mo+30Ag+30Sn), a more significant sulphide source(s) remains to be discovered (Fig.1).

Cullen Resources Limited Quarterly Report – December 2019

It is possible that the mainly mafic lithologies intersected to date are the hanging wall stratigraphy of a VHMS system and that the footwall stratigraphy, which may include felsic volcanics, lies further east.

DHEM surveying and deeper drilling (RC/diamond, ~1000m with EIS funding) will proceed, following heritage surveying and drill rig sourcing, to 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 thereafter;

  • South along the target trend (“Prospective Corridor”) of VTEM anomalies and air core copper anomalies Cullen has previously reported (Figs.1 and 2).

BARLEE PROJECT - ELA’s 77/2606, 57/1135 (Cullen 100%)

Cullen holds two contiguous applications totaling ~350sq km from 10 - 55 km SSE of the Penny West Gold deposit and the Youanmi greenstone belt, towards the NW tip of the Marda-Diemals greenstone belt (Fig.4). The applications cover significant strike previously underexplored strike lengths of interpreted shear zones and numerous elongate and/or folded aeromagnetic anomalies (highs) which appear to be intercalated amphibolite within the granite terrane. A reconnaissance field review, regolith mapping and orientation soil sampling were completed in December 2019. This work, via existing access tracks, confirmed sheared amphibolite – granite contacts and parallel quartz veining occurs in target areas.

The first of these applications is anticipated to be approved in March 2020 to allow for exploration, including systematic soil sampling and first pass air core drilling to commence.

NORTH TUCKABIANNA PROJECT, E20/714 - Cullen 100%

Cullen holds E20/714 centered ~30km east of Cue, in the Murchison Region of Western Australia (Fig. 6). The tenement lies north along strike of historical gold deposits that make up the “Tuckabianna Gold Trend”, and is on-strike of the Hollandaire copper resource (see ASX:CYM, 18-7-2019) - Fig. 7. Despite several historical air core drilling campaigns by Cullen and others, in Cullen’s opinion, large tracts of prospective stratigraphy and strike extensive shear zones remain to be fully tested.

Cullen has completed data compilation of the geological setting of VTEM anomalies along strike to the east of Cyprium’s (ASX:CYM) Colonel Prospect. Using mapping and drilling results from 1970’s exploration programs, Cullen has compiled a plan which suggests a target stratigraphic horizon for base metal mineralisation exists as a “synform” and further exploration is warranted.

In particular, Cullen’s previous RC drilling of the strong VTEM anomaly (TNRC13,14,15) did not explain the source of the anomaly and a downhole conductor remains to be tested at this position – two follow-up RC drillholes planned (see Fig. 5 below).

BROMUS SOUTH - Targeting untested gold-in-auger soil anomaly near Norseman, W.A. (Cullen 100%)

Cullen’s E63/1894, approximately 100 sq. kms, is centered 20km SW of Norseman in the Eastern Goldfields of W.A . The tenement includes the “Bromus South” gold prospect within a mixed granite-greenstone terrane (as interpreted by Cullen from aeromagnetic images) and is prospective for gold, and lithium in pegmatites. A low-level, gold-in-auger anomaly (to 8.4ppb), approximately 4.6km long and up to 600m wide (mainly sandplain regolith), was determined by previous explorers (see References below). This anomaly is untested and appears to parallel a granitegreenstone contact. Southern Geoscience Consultants (SGC) has completed processing and imaging of aeromagnetics data. A structural interpretation is in progress to identify favourable structural settings for mineralisation within the gold anomaly. Cullen has applied for a new exploration licence along the western margin of E63/1894.

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 “Slim Line RC” (RC) drilling testing
bedrock and interpreted geological and/or geophysical
targets for gold mineralisation and/or base metals.
One hole for 99m was completed – E70/4882.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate
calibration
of
any
measurement tools or systems used
The collar position 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.
Drilling was used to obtain one metre samples delivered
through a cyclone. The 1m sample was placed in plastic
bags and from each drill bag, 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
laboratoryMinanalyticalfor analysis.
Drilling

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 Slim Line RC using a 4.5in, face
sampling hammer bit.
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, a
few were damp, and 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
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 hole was 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.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel etc.) photography.
Logging of rock chips was qualitative (lithology, type of
mineralisation) and semi-quantitative (visual estimation
of sulphide content, quartz veining, alteration etc.).
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged
Drill hole logged in full.
Sub-
sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core taken.
Not applicable - no core taken.
If non-core, whether riffles, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether
sampled wet or dry.
One-metre samples were collected from a cyclone
attached to the drill rig into bags or buckets, then
emptied on to the ground in rows. Composite samples
were taken using a sampling scoop.
For all sample types, quality and
appropriateness
of
the
sample
preparation technique.
All samples are pulverised to produce a homogenous
representative sub-sample for analysis. A grind quality
target of 85% passing 75μm is established and is relative
to sample size, type and hardness.
Gold (Au), Silver (Ag,) Arsenic (As), 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.
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.
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 and primarily aimed at establishing
bedrock mineralisation style and type beneath air core
anomalies.
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.

Orientation

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
a geochemical and geological target, to assist in
mapping, and to test for mineralisation below previous
anomalies. The drill orientation was easterly (090°). 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 samples are handled, transported and delivered to
the laboratory by Cullen staff. All samples were
accounted for.
Audits or
reviews
The results of and audits or reviews of
samplingtechniques and data.
No audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data
have been conducted to date.

The drill target located on E70/4882 is 90% owned by
Cullen Exploration Pty Ltd (a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Cullen Resources Limited). Cullen has completed a
review of heritage sites, and found no issues. Particular
environmental settings have been considered when
planning drilling.
The security of the tenure held at the
time of reporting along with any
known impediments to obtaining a
licence to operate in the area.
The tenure is secure and in good standing at the time of
writing.

·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.

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 previous air
core anomalies target. The stratigraphy encountered in
drilling appears to be dipping to the west at a high angle
or is near vertical, and 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 (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.

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
