Yarraloola Project – Ashburton Schist

First drill-holes identify a new volcanic-hosted style of high-grade magnetite mineralization in the West Pilbara.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Three 202m deep RC holes for 606m intersected magnetite mineralisation hosted mainly by chloritic and schistose, intermediate to rhyolitic volcanics and carbonaceous phyllite.

  • Geological setting is confirmed as being Ashburton Trough with an “Algoma” (volcanic) setting rather than an outlier of the Hamersley basin sequence.

  • YAR091 in the south reports 91m @ 25.4% Fe down hole from surface overlying rhyolitic to dacitic rocks.

  • YAR093 intercepted 29m @ 31.9% Fe (28-57m down-hole) and 55m @ 31.8% Fe (77-132m down-hole) in schists with basaltic to andesitic compositions.

  • No crocidolite (blue asbestos) was intersected during drilling.

  • Initial grind-size analysis for Davis Tube recovery indicates schistose chloritic host-rock is “soft” with high-quality concentrate recovered from -63 microns.

  • Best result from the initial 5m-interval Davis Tube samples was 36.9% mass recovery @ 69.4% Fe + 3.36% SiO2.

  • The Fe-contents and Davis Tube mass yields from YAR091 in the south and YAR093 towards the north of 12 km long the magnetically active zones are typical of siliceous ironformation but RC drill-rates in excess of 150m/shift and grinds-size recovery test-work suggest a lower work-index that should reflect in a lower production cost for magnetite concentrate.

  • First stage follow-up includes diamond drilling to provide representative sections through the mineralization and material for physical properties measurements including grind-index.

  • A co-funded exploration incentive grant from the WA Department of Mines and Petroleum to cover 50% or up to $150,000 of the direct diamond drilling costs of 3 holes has recently been awarded to Coziron subsidiary Zanthus Resources Pty Ltd.

Yarraloola Project

New Style of Magnetite Discovery

The Company is pleased to announce that it has discovered a new style of magnetite mineralisation from its first up exploration drilling in the Ashburton Schist on the Yarraloola project. Chairman Adam Sierakowski stated: “The board of the Company is delighted to present its initial drilling results which have identified a new style of magnetite mineralization hosted in a soft volcanic host-rock on the Yarraloola project. The Ashburton Schist project is 12 kilometres long and 1 kilometre wide so these drill results are just scratching the surface. In addition, the Ashburton Schist is immediately adjacent to the proposed Baosteel railway and approximately 40 kilometres from CITC’s SINO project and 60 kilometres from Cape Preston, which could provide the Company with a number of potential infrastructure solutions and commercialisation opportunities”

Background

The Yarraloola Project covers an area of 1437km[2] in the western section of the Hamersley and an adjacent portion of the Ashburton Trough in the West Pilbara. During the 2014 field season, Coziron focussed on the selection, mapping, sampling, prioritisation and completion of the statutory obligations to implement RC drilling on the Robe Mesa and the Ashburton Trough magnetic anomalies (Fig 1). This represents the first drilling reported by any tenement holder on these targets.

A total of 25 RC holes into a sequence of pisolitic iron-stone on the Robe Mesa delivered a recently announced global “CID” resource of 73.1Mt @ 53.9% Fe + 8% SiO2 + 3.4% Al2O3 + 0.04% P + 10.8% LOI (CZR:ASX on 3[rd] Feb 2015).

In addition, three inclined (-60) RC holes for a total of 606m (Table 1) were completed on the Ashburton schist to provide representative sections into and adjacent to an area of intense magnetic responses from an airborne survey that was completed in 2006. This magnetic anomaly on tenements E08/1686 and E08/1826 was previously interpreted in 2009 as an outlier of the Brockman Iron Formation (Fig 2). However, mapping and rock-chip sampling during 2014 delineated intervals of intermittently outcropping magnetite-bearing schist over about 6km of the 12km strike length reporting Fe grades to 36% and are now attributed to rock-types in the Ashburton Trough.

Geological, geochemical and mineralogical results from the first drilling programme into the Ashburton schists are presented in the sections below.

Down-hole Geology and Interpreted Geological Setting

Drill samples for geochemistry were collected at 1 metre intervals using a face-sampling percussion hammer and a rig-mounted rotary splitter. Samples were logged geologically and the magnetic susceptibility measured using a hand-held meter which highlighted strongly magnetic zones.

Details of the sampling and analytical methodology are presented in Appendix 1, as per JORC 2012 requirements.

At the southern end of the Ashburton Prospect, YAR091 intersected magnetite-bearing schist from surface to 90m downhole and these show a decreasing effect of weathering (oxidation) below 50m (Table 2).

Below the magnetite schist, the hole intersected a richly chloritic sequence with geochemistry typical of dacitic and rhyolitic rocks (Fig 3).

Further north and to the west, YAR092 intersected a sequence dominated by richly carbonaceous phyllites with a 3m intercept of magnetite schist.

In the northern section of the magnetic anomaly, YAR093 intercepted two units of magnetite schist (Table 2) within richly chloritic schists showing geochemical features that include basaltic, andesitic and dacitic rocks (Fig 3).

The most significant outcome from the geological study of the RC-drilling in the Ashburton is that it clearly shows the magnetite is hosted by a sequence of schistose and chloritic mafic to rhyolitic rocks. This volcanic association implies the mineralization is likely to have an Algoma-style (volcanic-hosted deeper water) rather than a shallow-water Hamersley-style origin. While the mineralogical and metallurgical features of the fine grained, siliceous, Hamersley-style magnetite mineralisation are well known, the Algoma-style mineralisation in the Ashburton represents a new discovery .

Preliminary Grind-Size Liberation for Davis Tube Recovery

Prior to commencing the Davis Tube recovery programme, bulked RC-samples were processed through a grind-size analysis to determine the optimal size-fraction for a magnetite concentrate with Fe @ 67%. The upper part of YAR091 (0-45m) and the upper interval in YAR093 (28-53m) produced a good quality concentrate in the grind-size range of 63 and 45 microns, while the lower part of YAR091 (45-105) and the lower interval of YAR093 (76-129m) required grinding to 38 microns to produce a concentrate of the same quality. As a result, all Davis Tube recovery was undertaken at - 38 micron to standardise the results.

Once a proposed diamond-drilling programme through the Ashburton magnetite schists is completed, a more systematic review of the grind-size recovery will be undertaken using the diamond-core.

Davis Tube Recovery

From this initial RC-drill programme, 1-2kg of chips from 1m samples were composited to 5m intervals to provide indications of the variations in magnetite yield and concentrate quality across the three intervals of magnetite schist intersected during drilling. Results for all samples are presented in Table 3.

In YAR091, in the south, the upper zone shows evidence of weathering and as a result, lower magnetite mass-yields were achieved for the intervals tested in this zone. However, yields increased to 26% in the fresh rock.

In YAR093 in the north, where the effects of weathering are less apparent in the logging of the drillchips, mass yields range from about 20% to almost 40%, with an overall average above 20% for the intervals sampled.

Future Work

The first drill results from the magnetite schists in the Ashburton Trough show significant down-hole thicknesses which are poorly exposed in outcrop. Although the Fe-grades and mass-yields are typical of the siliceous iron-formations in the Pilbara, RC-drill rates in excess of 150m per shift and recently completed grind-size recovery studies suggests the schist will have a lower work-index that should reflect in a lower production cost for concentrate recovery.

The following follow-up work is required to assess the commercial significance of the discovery.

  1. Select additional RC drill-sites to determine the true thickness and continuity of the magnetite-rich schists.

  2. Complete at least three diamond drill-holes of up to 400m each to obtain representative geological sections for which the Company has been awarded up to 50% of the direct drilling cost - or $150,000 - as a co-funded exploration incentive scheme drilling grant from the WA Department of Mines and Petroleum.

  1. Obtain physical properties measurement from the diamond-core such as compressive testing and bond work-index which will enable cost-recovery factors for the magnetite concentrate to be evaluated.

  2. Review and update the preliminary ore-transportation study for the Yarraloola project with site specific parameters and options.

  3. Undertake a more detailed review of the trace element geochemistry from the chlorite-rich schists showing geochemical affinities with arc-related volcanic systems and determine whether the units are prospective for gold and base-metals (Cu-Pb-Zn) mineralization.

Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry standard measurement tools appropriate
to the minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc). These examples should not be
taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
The results presented are derived from a 5.5” (140mm)
reverse circulation drilling programme with continuous
down-hole sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
All drill cuttings were passed through a continuously
operating rotary cone splitter and collected on 1m
intervals. During the drilling of each meter, 2-3kg of drill
chips were split off and collected in a labelled calico
sample bag.
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 (eg
‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g 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.
The entire 2-3kg drill-chip sample was crushed, dried and
pulverized at Ultratrace Laboratories (Bureau Veritas) in
Perth. Western Australia. A sub sample was fused and
the "extended iron-ore suite" of major oxide and selected
trace-element analysis was obtained by XRF
Spectrometry. A full suite of up to 59 trace elements was
also measured by ICP Spectrometry.
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core

method, etc).
All 3 drill holes were drilled by reverse circulation (RC)

Reverse circulation drill chip samples were collected dry
and split by a continuously operating rotary cone splitter
during drilling.
For all sample types, the nature, quality
and appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
Reverse circulation drilling is an appropriate method of
recovering representative samples though the interval of
mineralization. The drilling contractor used suitable
sample collection and handling procedures to maintain
sample integrity.
Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity
of samples.
Duplicate samples were simultaneously collected in
mineralized intervals, using the rotary cone splitter.
Approximately 1 in 20 duplicate samples were analysed
to ensure representivity.
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.
The reverse circulation method samples continuously and
the rotary splitter selects a representative proportion of
the sample, providing an indication of compositional
variations associated with each lithology or mineralized
interval.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to
the grain size of the material being sampled.
The 2-3kg of homogenized drill chips that was recovered
for each sample is sufficient to provide a representative
indication of the material being sampled.
All samples were analysed at Ultratrace Laboratories in
Perth. A selected suite (the extended iron ore suite) of
major-element oxides and trace element oxides were
determined by XRF analysis on fused disks. Loss on
Ignition (LOI) was determined by thermogravimetric
analysis at 1000° C. In some samples, minor elements
may be determined by a 4-acid mixed digest on either
milled rock powder or lazer ablation on the fused disk with
an ICP MS or OES finish to determine concentrations at
lower detection limits.
The nature, quality and appropriateness of
the assaying and laboratory procedures used
and whether the technique is considered partial
or total.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests
For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters
used in determining the analysis including
instrument make and model, reading times,
calibrations factors applied and their derivation,
etc.
A hand-held magnetic susceptibility meter was used to
record the response from the drill-chips and the response
highlights the highly magnetic intercepts of magnetite
schist in drill-holes.
Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and whether
acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias)
and precision have been established.
Laboratory QAQC involves the use of internal lab
standards using certified reference material, blanks, splits
and replicates as part of their in-house procedures.
Results highlight that sample assay values are accurate
and that contamination has been contained.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys),
trenches, mine workings and other locations
used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Drill hole locations were derived from a hand held Garmin
72h GPS units, with an average accuracy of ±3m.
Location of data
points
The grid system is MGA GDA94, zone 50, all easting's
and northing’s are reported in MGA co-ordinates
Specification of the grid system used.
SRTM90 data is used to provide topographic control and
is regarded as being adequate for early stage exploration.
Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
The first-stage drilling of three holes were located to
examine the sub-surface geology associated with
different magnetic targets within the Ashburton Trough
sequence.
Whether the data spacing and distribution
is sufficient to establish the degree of geological
and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.
No Mineral Resources or Ore Reserve estimations are
being presented in this report.
Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
Geochemical sample results represent 1m interval
reverse circulation drill-chips and samples have not been
composited. Grind-size liberation studies were
undertaken on representative samples which were
composited across down-hole intercepts of magnetite-rich
schist. Davis Tube recovery was completed on 5m down-
hole intercepts of magnetite-rich schist.
Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is known,
considering the deposit type.
Mineralization is contained within a sub-horizontal sheet
and the vertical drill-holes and associated sampling
collects representative material through the mineralized
zone.
Orientation of
data in relation to
geological
structure
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 drill orientation was selected to minimise any
sampling bias.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
Samples are collected, labelled and transported by
Coziron Geologists to Toll-Express in Karratha from
where they are transported directly to Ultratrace
laboratories in Perth.
No audits or reviews of the sampling techniques and data
have been obtained.

park and environmental settings.
All exploration licenses and prospecting licenses owned
85% by Zanthus Resources Ltd and 15% by ZanF Pty
Ltd. The tenements are covered by the Kuruma
Marthudunera Native Title Claim and relevant heritage
agreements are in place.
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 tenements are in good standing and no known
impediments exist.
In 1990-1991, Aberfoyle Resources held tenements
covering the Ashburton Trough which partially overlapped
Yarraloola. They collected 26 rock-chip and 73 stream
sediment samples for gold and base-metal exploration
but encountered no significant results and surrendered
the ground.

In 1991-1992, Poseidon Exploration Ltd held exploration
tenements covering the Ashburton Trough which partially
overlapped Yarraloola for base-metals, gold and iron-ore.
They collected 54 rock-chips, 236 soil samples, 492
stream sediment samples and completed 159 RAB holes
for 2410m but encountered no significant mineralisation
and surrendered the tenements.
In 1997-1998, Sipa Resources NL held tenements over
the Ashburton Trough that partially covered Yarraloola for
gold and base-metals. A field trip after the interpretation
of LANDSAT and air-photos collected six rock-chip
samples which failed to detect mineralisation and the
tenements were surrendered.
In 2005-2009, Red Hill Iron Ltd held a tenement 15km
northwest of Pannawonica which partially overlapped
Yarraloola for gold and base-metal prospectivity.
Following and aeromagnetic survey and air-photo
interpretation, 16 rock-chips and 207 soil samples were
collected but no targets were generated and the ground
was surrendered.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style
of mineralisation.
The eastern section of the Yarraloola tenements covers
Archaean-age chemical and clastic sediments overlying
basalts in the Hamersley Basin. The western part of the
tenements covers deformed Palaeoproterozoic mostly
clastic sediments of the Ashburton Trough which are
overlain by more recent undeformed detritus associated
with the Carnarvon Basin. Sediments of the Hamersley
and Carnarvon Basins are known to host economic
deposits of iron-ore.
The magnetite mineralization described in this report is
hosted within graphitic and chloritized volcanic schists of
the Ashburton Trough.

Down hole lengths and intercept depths are calculated
from 1m interval samples that are progressively collected
as the holes are drilled.
o down hole length and interception depth
Hole lengths are reported both on the geological and
driller logs, entered into the access database and have

o hole length.
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum
grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and
cut-off grades are usually Material and should be
stated.
Minimum intercept widths are defined as drill intervals
greater than 5m with samples reporting Fe>20% and high
magnetic susceptibility. The reported intervals provide
guidance for future drilling to determine true thickness. No
upper cut has been applied.

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.
All sample intervals used to calculate the geochemical
intercepts are of equal length.
The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalents are presented
The -60 inclined drill-holes are designed to intercept the
moderately to steeply dipping geology and obtain
sections across the geological units.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature
should be reported.

mineralisation
widths and

If it is not known and only the down hole
lengths are reported, there should be a clear The relationship of the down-hole widths and the true
thickness is yet to be determined.

statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length,
true width not known’).
Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts should 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.
A map of drill-hole locations is shown in Figure 2. There is
insufficient data to yet be able to construct geological
cross sections.
Diagrams The intervals reported represent the down-hole
intercepts of magnetite rich rocks which are the target
zones for future work..
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.
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
contaminating substances.
Balanced
reporting
Intervals of samples with elevated magnetic
susceptibility and Fe typically greater than 20%.

exploration data
DGPS surveying over the mineralized area, quantitative
mineralogical studies, along with infill and extensional
drilling are being planned.
