WONGAN HILLS
Wongan Hills I Favourable Location
==> picture [401 x 423] intentionally omitted <==
Cullen holds 90% of granted EL 70/4882 (145 sq. km) and ELA 70/5162 (26 sq. km) with Tregor Pty Ltd (10%).
The project is very favourably located just 180km from Perth by road and 15km from the wheatbelt town of Wongan Hills offering roads access, power, housing, water and labour.
The project area also has rail connections to the ports of Fremantle and Geraldton.
==> picture [76 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
The tenure covers mostly freehold private farmland which will necessitate the signing of compensation agreements (currently being developed) to allow for surface
exploration, including drilling.
Geologically, the region hosts two very significant, world-class orebodies – at Boddington (gold) and Golden Grove (base metals).

Golden Grove vs. Wongan Hills Laterite Geochem. I CHI-3 Index
==> picture [76 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [203 x 393] intentionally omitted <==
Cullen‟s laterite samples from Wongan Hills, show tin (Sn) levels as high as the best anomalies at Gossan Hill deposit at Golden Grove, W.A. (117 vs. 95ppm).
The “CHI-3” geochem. index for laterite samples at WH also has high levels, equivalent to those at Gossan Hill and Scuddles. WH shows a compelling CHI-3 peak of 3787, vs. Golden Grove, 3945.
Note – there are open positions to anomalies beyond the limit of laterite at WH and in several directions.

Wongan Hills I Conclusions – Geochem.
==> picture [509 x 423] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [76 x 38] intentionally omitted <==
In summary, the Wongan Hills Project lies within an Archaean greenstone belt with known Cu-Au mineralisation and is in Cullen's opinion, a very favourable setting for the location of a Golden Grove-type, Volcanic-Hosted Massive Sulphide deposit (VHMS). Compelling laterite geochemistry with similarities to that of the 50Mt Golden Grove VHMS system, supports this premise.
Sn-As-Bi-Sb-Mo-W-Se-Ag +/- Cu-Au laterite geochem. with peak CHI - 3 geochemical index score of 3787 - compared to Golden Grove CHI - 3 score of 3945; and a +3km historical AuAg-Cu soil anomaly (“Louise”) adjacent to the multi-element laterite anomaly. There has been no previous drilling across the major parts of the multiple geochemical anomalies.

The VTEM results highlight multiple clusters and trends of interpreted bedrock conductors.
In particular, five clusters of interpreted bedrock conductors, over strike lengths of ~0.4 to 1.5km which are coincident with significant CHI-3 geochemical index anomalies now define priority VHMS targets.
None of the multiple geochemical anomalies with interpreted bedrock conductors has been the target of previous drill testing.

Gold mineralisation discovered to date is localised by a set of major fault zones (or Breaks) as evidenced by the distribution of >1.0 g/t Au in historical drilling (and not merely a reflection of the previous focus of these drilling programmes). These structures and gold zones are also coincident with unconformities between sediments and the mafic-ultramafic core to the greenstone belt - cf. Taipan and Eureka NW prospects. Such controls to gold mineralisation are evident in other greenstone belts in the North Eastern Goldfields of W.A. (such as Yamarna), and elsewhere in Archaean granite-greenstone terranes (see Bleeker, W., 2015). Further drilling to “flesh-out” known gold mineralisation at the known prospects in the Mt Eureka project - along strike, at depth, and down plunge - is clearly warranted.

IN SUMMARY
At Wongan Hills, a VTEM survey has identified several clusters of interpreted bedrock conductors that are coincident with significant but undrilled, geochemical anomalies.
The compilation of geochem. data supports Cullen's contention that the area may contain an untested VHMS system similar in character to the Golden Grove deposit.
Cullen plans to drill test the anomalies at Wongan Hills, subject to successfully compensation agreements with landowners, and towards the end of the year after cropping.
Cullen is also planning reconnaissance air core drilling at its 100%-owned Mt Eureka project for Ni and Au; and is continuing “data mining” at the Korvenkyla and Veiskko Projects, in Finland.
