Quarterly Report – June 2021
QUARTERLY SUMMARY
WONGAN HILLS PROJECT, WA - targeting Volcanic-Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) Cu-Zn-Ag-Au
Drilling at Rupert and Wongan prospects to date has intersected: metapelites, metavolcanoclastics, mafic to ultramafic volcanics, cherts, felsic metasediments and several thin pyritic shales at unit boundaries, with encouraging pathfinder assays.
-
7 RC holes (RC6 - 12) for 804m targeted strong ground EM conductor (Model C3) at Rupert; and two on-strike positions at Wongan.
-
Sulphidic (mainly pyrite) horizons 1-3m thick reflect the modelled ground EM conductor plate at C3 and assay data (received 28-7-2021) includes: 497 ppm Pb, 107 ppm Sb, 827ppm Zn, 1.27ppm Ag (over 15m), and 39ppb Au in 5m composites in the weathering profile. Interpretation of these recently received results is continuing.
-
The bedrock source of these anomalies may not have been intersected, and follow-up drilling of untested strata west of current drilling is planned.
YORNUP PROJECT, WA - targeting Ni-Cu-PGE (E70/5405)
Compilation of historical exploration data underline prospectivity, and development of access agreements was initiated.
-
The Yornup mafic-ultramafic complex consists of olivine gabbronorite, harzburgite, lherzolite, and dunites that have been extensively serpentinised (Hassan, 1998).
-
Cullen’s E70/5405 covers part of the Yornup mafic-ultramafic complex and adjoins Venture Minerals tenure - the subject of a Farm-In by Chalice Mining Ltd. Chalice has completed a ground electromagnetic survey (EM) survey over parts of the “Julimar lookalike magnetic anomaly” within Venture’s project area (ASX:VMS, 30-6-2021).
-
Historical exploration data for E70/5405 shows anomalous platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) in BLEG stream sediment samples (Cameron, 1990, WAMEX A29958) associated with ultramafics.

Quarterly Report – June 2021
BARLEE PROJECT, WA - targeting Penny West - type Gold
Reconnaissance mapping and rock chip sampling (63 samples) were completed within E77/2606. Exposures of bedrock are limited with the majority of rock chip samples of resistant, sheared granite amongst extensive colluvium.
-
Some assays indicate magnetic anomalies are greenstones intercalated with granite but there were no anomalies of Au in this sample suite.
-
A heritage agreement has been finalised and first pass air core drilling will be initiated within E2606 following heritage clearance – the prospective, non-outcropping contact of magnetic bodies are the priority for drill testing.
WONGAN HILLS PROJECT, WA - targeting Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation
A ground EM survey over magnetic anomalies in the northern part of E4882 ( Jackaby Prospect ) has been partially completed, before wet weather set in.
-
Preliminary interpretation of results has reported weak conductors from one survey loop, close to the interpreted contact of granite with a magnetic body.
-
Air core drilling is proposed following EM survey completion and full interpretation.

PROJECT UPDATES
WONGAN HILLS PROJECT, E’s 70/4882, 5162, 5414, 5735 and ELA 70/5794 (Cullen 90% - Tregor Pty Ltd 10%) - targeting VHMS Cu-Zn-Ag-Au
Rupert Prospect
Previous Cullen drill holes ( RC3 and RC4) tested the northern and southern C1 and C2 conductor plates below historic Au and Ag soil geochemistry. Both intersected sediment-hosted, semi-massive to massive pyrite with minor pyrrhotite at mafic volcanic/volcanoclastic-sediment interfaces. These sulphide intersections are interpreted to be the source of the conductors (ASX:CUL, 2-3-2021).
Recently completed RC6 and RC7 tested the C3 conductor to the south and intersected similar mineralisation to that in C1 and C2. Sulphidic horizons 1-3m in thickness reflect the modelled ground EM conductor plate (Figs. 3 and 4, and Table 1). RC9 was drilled down dip of RC4 and intersected two pyritic black shale horizons, each 3m thick, which correlate with those in RC4 . Chert bands were intersected in RC8, ~70m east of RC4, and in RC10, testing the interpreted sedimentary horizon ~ 230m west of RC4 (Table 1).
The assays for RC6 and 7 include significant anomalies of up to : 498 ppm Pb; 107 ppm Sb; 827 ppm Zn; 702 ppm Cu; 1.55 ppm Ag; and 39 ppb Au; (5m composites) in the weathering profile, some of the highest levels of base metals and pathfinders intersected to date (Table 2). Assays for RC8 and 9 are anomalous for some of the same elements as RC6 and 7 (see Table 2) whereas RC10 has fewer anomalies of key elements.
These new data, together with the x-section interpretation for RC3 and 4 (Fig.5), suggest that the stratigraphy west of current drilling may include a source of the metals in the weathering profile. Alternatively, the sulphidic horizons intersected to date, which are anomalous in Zn, Pb and Ag, and some pathfinders, may be the source. Drilling on section to the west of RC 6 and RC9 and down dip is clearly warranted.

Quarterly Report – June 2021
Wongan Prospect
RC11 , completed 50m south of section 6591300mN (Fig.6), intersected basic metapelites and metavolcanics with minor sulphides. RC 12 , completed 800m along strike to the south of section 6591300mN in an area of previous Cu-Au air core anomalies, intersected two sections of pyritic sulphides (1-2m thick) similar in character to sulphidic mineralisation seen at Rupert. The assays for RC 11 include anomalous levels of W, Bi and Au, but assays are lower for key elements in comparison to Rupert. RC 12 includes a single notable anomaly of : 5m @ 2075ppm Cu, 1.07ppm Ag and 28ppb Au (composite from 60-65m depth).
The mineralisation at Wongan is interpreted to be different in character, and in origin, when compared to Rupert. Cullen’s RC drilling at Wongan, focused on the laterite geochemical anomalies, indicates the occurrence of epigenetic Cu-Au-Zn mineralisation with anomalous Sn and W in high-angle, narrow, alterationmineralisation zones along a prominent N-S fault. Mineralising fluids may be related to an underlying, felsic intrusive, one of a suite of intrusives, an example of which crops out just south west of the Wongan prospect (see Fig.8). Similar mineralising fluids may also have played a role at the Rupert Prospect.

Further work - VHMS Exploration
Compilation and interpretation of geological and geochemical results to date suggests untested VHMS prospectivity at Rupert, on-section to the west of current drilling. Two other, strike-extensive sections of felsic metasediments occur between the stratigraphy of Rupert and Wongan which may represent additional VHMS targets (Fig.8). The next phase of exploration will focus on further RC/diamond drilling at Rupert, and mapping and surface sampling of the metasedimentary targets to the west, followed by further air core traverse drilling.

Rupert South and Pioneer Prospects
Soil sampling from the southern extension of the Rupert Trend and to the south west of the Wongan Prospect has returned two low-level, coherent gold anomalies (Fig.7). Soil samples from the southernmost line in the west, were also analysed for Au, Pt and Pd by fire assay, to follow-up historical Pt-Pd-Au soil anomalies. Results confirm the historical sampling with best assays of 24ppb Au, 17 ppb Pd and 12 ppb Pt. Ranges of base metals in soil sample are: 5-225ppm Cu, 3-63ppm Pb; and 3-67ppm Zn, and do not present discrete targets.
Air core drilling is proposed to test the two gold anomalies and the abovementioned Pt-Pd soil anomalies (Fig.7).

Quarterly Report – June 2021
WONGAN HILLS PROJECT, Jackaby Prospect, E’s 70/4882, 5162, 5414, 5735, ELA 5794 (Cullen 90% - Tregor Pty Ltd 10%) - targeting Ni - Cu - PGE
Historical exploration in the northern part of E4882 was for gold, centered on the Paynes Shaft Prospect (Fig.9). However Cullen’s data review indicates Ni-CuPGE potential. Ultramafics are reported to be part of the stratigraphy around the Paynes Shaft and a N-S oriented magnetic anomaly (~1km of strike see air mag image Fig.10), has been interpreted as an ultramafic body with nickel sulphide potential (WAMEX A66562). This untested target lies in a wheat paddock, with no outcrops. The air magnetics images from this area also support the possibility of a ~3km corridor of mafic/ultramafic rocks trending N to NW, from Paynes Shaft area into E70/5414 (Fig. 9).
Cullen has completed part of a planned, ~2 x 1km ground EM survey over interpreted ultramafic intrusions within E4482 before wet conditions denied access. Preliminary results (Fig.11) indicate one area with weak conductive responses. Completion of the ground EM survey, and further soil and rock chip sampling are planned to generate targets for air ore drilling as cultivation allows.
Assays of reconnaissance rock chip and soils samples across E70/5414 (12 rock chips and 36 soil samples, Table 3, and Fig.12) are interpreted to indicate that the NW-SE trending magnetic body within the eastern half of the tenement is most likely a mixed amphibolite-metagranite terrane. The magnetic body contact has slightly elevated gold levels in soil, and may have potential for copper-gold mineralisation similar to that discovered at Liontown’s (ASX: LTR) Mt Yule Prospect. Further soil and rock-chip sampling are planned to generate targets for air core drilling.

BARLEE PROJECT – E’s 77/2606, 57/1135, 77/2688 (Cullen 100%) – Fig.13.
Cullen has previously reported assays for 579 auger samples collected on a 400 x 100m grid over a section of N - S trending stratigraphy within E2606 (ASX:CUL, 8-3-2021). This ~7 x 4km target area has been interpreted from air magnetics data to include underexplored shear zones and numerous elongate and/or folded sections of greenstone in contact with granites. The auger sampling outlined Target Areas 1-3 for further investigation (Figs.13 and 14).

Quarterly Report – June 2021
Preliminary field mapping and rock chip sampling (63 samples) were completed over Target Areas 1 and 2, and east of Area 3 (using existing access). Samples were mainly highly sheared to mylonitic, quartz veined granite, in a terrane dominated by colluvium and quartz vein debris. No gold or silver anomalies were detected above 10 or 500ppb respectively, but anomalous base metal values (up to 1570 ppm Cr, 712 ppm Ni, 376 ppm Cu, and 90 ppm Zn) relate to the magnetic anomalies within Area 1 and east of Area 3 (Figs. 14,15,16). These results are interpreted to indicate the magnetic anomalies are greenstone intercalated in the granite-dominated terrane (Table 4). The contacts of these magnetic bodies, not exposed at surface, are the priority for drill testing. A heritage agreement has been finalised and clearance will be sought for first pass drilling along fence lines and across magnetic/geochemical anomalies.

YORNUP (Cullen 100%) - targeting Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation
E70/5405 covers the Yornup Northeast chromium prospect from where an intersection of 2m at 7.4% Cr has been reported by West Coast Holdings ( WAMEX A18173 ). Yornup Northeast is part of a NE-SW trend of nickel and chromium occurrences including Palgarup (Ni) and Yornup South (Ni - Cr) in south west WA (Fig.17). The mafic - ultramafic complex at Yornup consists of olivine gabbronorite, harzburgite, lherzolite, and dunites that have been extensively serpentinised (Hassan, 1998).
Historical sampling ( WAMEX, A98223, A79877 ) of lateritic lag along roads and tracks across E5405, returned significant chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), and copper (Cu) values (Figs.18,19). Anomalous platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) levels were also reported in BLEG stream sediment samples with up to: 0.8 ppb Au, 2.9 ppb Pd and 2.2 Pt ppb near mapped ultramafics, which include : serpentinites, talc schist, pyroxenites and peridotites in a basement of paragneiss (Cameron,1990, WAMEX A29958 , see Fig.20).
These ultramafic bodies and geochemical anomalies within E5405 will be the focus of initial follow-up with mapping, surface sampling, and ground EM surveying as warranted, subject to access agreements.
E70/5405 adjoins Venture Minerals tenure - the subject of a Farm-In by Chalice Mining Ltd. Chalice has completed a ground electromagnetic survey (EM) survey over parts of the “Julimar lookalike magnetic anomaly” within Venture’s project area (ASX:VMS, 30-6-2021).

Quarterly Report – June 2021
Data description as required by the 2012 JORC Code - Section 1 and Section 2 of Table 1 RC Drilling and soil sampling – Wongan and Barlee Projects
| Section 1 Sampling techniques and data | Section 1 Sampling techniques and data | |
|---|---|---|
| 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 meaning of sampling. |
Sampling was by Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling testing bedrock and interpreted geological and/or geophysical targets for gold, base metals and/or Ni-Cu- PGE mineralisation - 7 RC holes for 804m. Soil sampling – 200-300g, whole sample collected at each site at a depth of 10-30cm. E4882 – 200 x 50m to 400 x 50m grid (268 samples). Reconnaissance lines elsewhere as shown on Figures. E2606 – 63 rock chip samples of in situ resistant bedrock – reconnaissance, key results on Figures. E5414 – 12 rock chip,36 reconnaissance soils. Ground EM Fixed Loop TEM (FLEM) on E4882 Loop Size – 450x350m; Transmitter – GeoResults DRTX; Transmitter Power – 15kW inverter; Receiver – SMARTem 24; Sensor – 3 component B field fluxgate SMARTFlux; Comp[oment Directions – X,Y,Z; line Spacing – 150m; Station Spacing – 50m and 25m; TX Frequency – 2.0833 Hz; Duty cycle – 50%; Current ~50 Amp; Readings – 2 readings at 64 stacks each; Powerline Frequency – 50Hz; Data Positioning – Handheld Garmin GPS/GLONASS (+/- 5m accuracy) for TX loop and FLEM stations. |
| 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. RC drilling was used to obtain one metre samples delivered through a cyclone and also collected in plastic bags with a ~500g sample collected using a scoop and five of such 1m samples combined into one 5m composite sample. The composite RC samples (2-3kg) were sent to Perth laboratory Minanalytical for analysis. Soil samples from E4882 and E5414 were also sent to Perth laboratory Minanalytical for analysis. Rock chip samples (E2606) by four acid digest with ICP OES and ICP MS analysis, gold by AAS with Detection Limit of 10ppb (0.01ppm). |
|
| 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.). |
RC Drilling using a 5.5in, face sampling hammer bit. |
| Drill Sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed |
RC 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. |
35
Quarterly Report – June 2021
| 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. |
| 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 holes 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 (N/A) |
| 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, 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 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. Analysis of all drill sample and soils : 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. Au, Pt and Pd analyzed by fire assay for selected soil samples as described. 4-acid digest for rock chip sampling with ICP MS and ICP OES analysis. Au by AAS (Barlee) |
|
| 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 to be 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. |
Considered appropriate for the purpose of these drilling programmes, which are reconnaissance only, primarily aimed at establishing source of EM anomalies (RC drilling) and geology, and presence of favourable shear structures forgold and base metals. |

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. |

| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
RC was at -60 degree angles. The stratigraphy encountered in drilling appears to be dipping to the west at a shallow to moderate angle (~30 -50°). |
| If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. |
