QUARTERLY REPORT ENDING 31 March 2024
• Wongan Hills
Two strong IP chargeability anomalies detected – drilling of potential sulphide zones for gold/base metals planned
• Bromus South
First pass air core drilling returned a significant REE anomaly of 5m @ 9684ppm TREO in BSAC004 from 40m – follow - up of gold /REE targets planned
• Barlee Project
Prime targets for lithium-in-pegmatites with first pass air core drilling planned. Regional potential underlined by positive exploration results - see Rox Resources (ASX: RXL;22-1-2024) and Venus Metals (ASX:VMC;253-2024).
• Mt Eureka JV Project
Manager Rox Resources Limited has reported several moderate to strong chargeability anomalies along gold corridors that have been scheduled for future drill testing (ASX: RXL;14-2-2024).
Cullen’s Managing Director, Dr Chris Ringrose, said, “The recent IP results at Wongan Hills have underlined the Wongan and Rupert Prospects as the focus for follow-up drilling. Historical and Cullen‘s own exploration results strongly support prospectivity for sulphide mineralisation at these prospects and we look forward to deeper RC tests. In addition Cullen has a substantial gold and lithium project in the emerging Youanmi Region, with strike extensive shear corridors for first pass soil and rock chip sampling. We also plan to extend our drilling at the Bromus South Project, just south west of Norseman, for REE in palaeochannel clays, and gold in greenstone belt, boundary structures.”

Quarterly Report – ending 31 March 2024
WONGAN HILLS PROJECT W.A., E70/4882,5162,5794,5414, 5735 and 6492-6494 centered ~20km north-west of Wongan Hills (Cullen 90%)
Gold and Base Metals
After the end of the Quarter, Cullen reported the results of a trial 2D DDIP (Twodimensional Dipole-Dipole Induced Polarisation and Resistivity) survey that defined two significant, undrilled chargeability anomalies , at the Wongan and Rupert prospects (ASX: CUL;8-4-2024).
At Wongan , on the western side of the Wongan Hills Greenstone Belt, (WHGB) the chargeability anomaly is positioned at 463200mE , on a ultramafic/mafic sediment contact and aligns with a trend of VTEM anomalies. This anomaly is within a ~ 4 x 1km target area comprising Ag-in-BLEG, hydrothermally-altered adamellite with trace chalcopyrite (Cullen drilling), and is marginal to historical copper occurrences in small diggings (Figs. 1 and 2).
At Rupert , on the eastern side of the WHGB, a strong 34ms chargeability anomaly positioned at 466600mE, is coincident with a resistivity low and a magnetic high. It lies over an interpreted Banded Iron Formation (BIF)/mafic contact in the vicinity of interpreted granitic intrusives, and within a 2 x 0.5km target area of historical Au-in-BLEG and anomalous Au, Ag, Sb, Pb, Te, and Zn in Cullen air core drilling (Figs. 3 and 4).
The Wongan and Rupert chargeability anomalies are prime targets in favourable geological settings and planning for initial drill testing is underway - RC drilling with holes to 200-250m depth is anticipated.
Lithium
UF soil sampling has extended a coherent lithium anomaly to ~3km of strike, NE to SW (ASX: CUL; 13-11-2023). Two trial air core drill holes at the north eastern limit of this anomaly intersected a medium-grained felsic intrusion with elevated lithium (18m @ 135ppm Li, from 55-73m EoH, WHAC 209) and chips of pegmatite were logged at 42- 43m (ASX: CUL; 28-2-2024).

----- End of picture text -----
Fig. 1 Trial IP survey Chargeability and Resistivity sections, 6592600mN
This data shows a strong chargeability anomaly towards the centre of the IP line which directly overlies an ultramafic – mafic sediment contact, as interpreted from Cullen’s air core drilling and interpretation of air magnetics data (WAMEX, A47022). This ultramafic unit is marked by a line of VTEM anomalies stretching over about 3km along a NE-SW stratigraphic trend ( Fig.2). The chargeability anomaly on this Wongan line lies immediately west of Cullen’s air core hole - 19WHAC45 (about 40m). The assay data for this hole confirms the presence of ultramafic but is not particularly anomalous in key pathfinders.
The separate, lower intensity anomaly in the west may be close to a NW trending fault along the granite greenstone boundary, again as interpreted from magnetics data.

Fig. 3 Trial IP survey Chargeability and Resistivity sections, 6594400mN
This data shows a strong, chargeability anomaly with margins of low resistivity towards the eastern end of the line, and close to the granite-greenstone boundary. In detail, the chargeability anomaly overlies an interpreted Banded Iron Formation (BIF)/ultramafic contact with mafics and close to an intrusive/BIF contact (Fig.4).
Air core drilling near the chargeability anomaly has not been deep enough (averaging 60m depth at -60°) to test this target. The most anomalous of Cullen’s air core holes aare close to an interpreted granite intrusive/BIF contact: hole 23WHAC200 is highly anomalous in base metals and pathfinders, including 17m @ 1286ppm Zn from 70m to EoH; and air core hole 22WHAC166 includes 5m composite assays up to; 0.11 g/t Au, 1.04 ppm Ag and 468ppm Pb (Fig.8 and Table 3).

Quarterly Report – ending 31 March 2024
BROMUS SOUTH, W.A., Gold and lithium (E63/1894, 2216); Cullen 100%.
In November 2023, Cullen completed reconnaissance air core drilling ( 49 holes for 1674m) of five targets defined by structure and/or soil anomalies which returned a significant REE anomaly of 5m @ 9684ppm TREO in BSAC004 (composite 40-45m). Two adjacent holes (BSAC003 and 005) also recorded strongly anomalous intersections of REE with a best of 15m at 1389 ppm TREO , from 35m. These three holes, traverse a 400m wide palaeochannel open in both directions. REE anomalies are concentrated in clay zones above basal black clays (ASX: CUL; 15-1; 18-1 2024 25-1-2024, and 28-2-24). Gold and lithium-in-pegmatites targets remain untested and further drilling and soil sampling is proposed. Two gold/lithium targets remain untested (bedrock deeper than expected), as is Target 6 (Figs.5 and 6). Further soils sampling and air core drilling is planned, together with follow-up of Targets 1-3, during the current Quarter.

BARLEE PROJECT, E57/1135, E’s 77/2606, 2967, 2782, 2688, and 3118 - c entered ~40km south of the Penny Gold Mine (Cullen 100%).
Lithium: Cullen reported the results of reconnaissance mapping and sampling to investigate: 1) linear features on aerial photos (E-W and NE-SW) associated with geochemical anomalies and/or breaks in the aeromagnetic trends (some of these linear anomalies appear to be controlling quartz veins); and, 2) anomalies of gold, silver, nickel, copper and cobalt interpreted to overlie a mafic-ultramafic horizon (E77/2606). The results of these programs (ASX: CUL;8-1-2024) indicate ( Figs. 7 and 8:
-
Rock chip sample assays (231456-231461) from Trainers Rock, have confirmed prospectivity for LCT – type pegmatites with Li values to 1760ppm; Nb to 361ppm, Ta to 56ppm, and Sn to 210ppm .
-
Rock chip samples assays (231448-231455) confirm the presence of mafic rocks, with elevated Cr (to 1820ppm); Cu (to 314ppm) and Ni (to 810ppm), within a prospective, mixed granite-greenstone terrane in the southern part of the project area (E2606). This area includes quartz veins and pegmatites (E-W and NE-SW), and soil anomalies of Au, Ag, Ni, Cu, and Co interpreted to overlie a mafic-ultramafic horizon (E77/2606, ASX: CUL; 8-11-2023) – Fig.7.
-
Sample 231463 (E2606) returned Li of 136ppm, with 141ppm Nb and 112ppm Sn in a NE trending pegmatite (a strong aerial photo feature).
-
Rock chip samples 231441-231443 from a soil-covered lithium target area in NW sector of E57/1135, did not return any anomalies in lithium, tantalum or caesium although re-assayed soil sample pulps in this area included elevated and anomalous rare element assays (ASX: CUL:8-102023).

BARLEE PROJECT, E57/1135, E’s 77/2606, 2967, 2782, 2688, and 3118 - c entered ~40km south of the Penny Gold Mine (Cullen 100%).
Gold: Cullen is also focused on the gold prospectivity of the strike extensive shear zones (~50km) within the Project area and considers the western granitegreenstone contact within E2606 as a prime target for Youanmi-type lodes (see ASX: RXL 4-4-2024, which shows gold lodes dipping on the granite-greenstone contact). Other gold mineralisation within the Youanmi region appears to be along NE-SW lodes (as at the Currans Prospect (ASX: RXL; 4-4-2024).
There are both corridors of prospective granite-greenstone contacts and E-W to NE-SW structures within Cullen’s E2606, which include some Ag and Au anomalies from limited and broad spaced soil sampling.
