  • Diamond drilling confirms a volcanogenic-setting for the Ashburton magnetite mineralisation with no crocidolite (blue asbestos) being detected.

  • Confidence achieved for production of a marketable concentrate product given the recovery of magnetite concentrates by low intensity magnetic separation (LIMS) and Davis Tube show similar results.

  • Significant upside opportunity exists with follow-up work at the higher grading Spinifex Hill area, where a high proportion of the Davis Tube samples produce magnetite yields > 30% with Fe > 67% and SiO2 < 5%.

  • Large scalable exploration potential within the Ashburton prospect which is approximately 12 kms and 800 metres wide.

  • The Ashburton magnetite project is close to existing and planned infrastructure along with producing mines and active port facilities.

Commentary of Results and Implications of the study of diamond drill-core from the Ashburton Magnetite System

The recovery of the diamond-core from the Ashburton Magnetite Prospect in 2015 represented the first opportunity to view fresh mineralization and provided rock-samples for processing at benchscale. The results reported in the following announcement indicate that there is a good correlation of mass-yield and magnetite quality at the same grain-size between the small-scale Davis Tube and larger scale recovery by ball-mill grinding and low-intensity magnetic concentration. This indicates that the utilisation of Davis Tube provides a low-cost method to assess prospectivity.

In response, a compilation of all available Davis Tube results for the Ashburton shows that there are a significant proportion of results that report greater than 30% mass recovery and SiO2 less than 5% associated with the Spinifex Hill section (Fig 3; fully reported to the ASX 6[th] October 2015 and 28[th] of October 2015, this announcement). At Spinifex Hill, RC drill-holes have reported magnetitemineralised intercepts almost to 200m thick at an overall Davis-Tube mass recovery of 31.9% with a weighted average Fe @ 66.8% and SiO2 @ 6.4%. However, the quality of a LIMS-produced concentrate which would be the focus of a feasibility study could perhaps be improved with a 1% to 2% reduction in SiO2 by step-wise grinding, recovery and cleaning. As such, future work on the Ashburton magnetite system will focus on that portion of the project associated with extensions to the Spinifex Hill mineralisation zone.

Ashburton Trough Magnetite Prospect

Exploration Summary

The 2015 work programme on the Ashburton Trough consisted of surface mapping and soil sampling, eight, paired, inclined (-60° to 050°) RC holes to 200m depth and three, inclined (-60° to 050°), diamond drill-holes each to about 500m. The RC holes were located at intervals along the magnetic anomaly system at sites which did not require significant ground disturbance (Fig 2, 3). The main purpose of the RC and diamond-drilling was to provide reconnaissance data on the geology, mineralogy, geochemistry, thickness, Fe-grades and magnetite yield and quality in the rocks from the Ashburton Prospect. The major geological implications and Davis Tube results from the RC-drilling were fully reported on 6[th] of October 2015 and 28[th] of April 2016. This announcement presents new results from a metallurgical test-work programme on magnetite-bearing intervals from diamond drill-holes YARDDH002 and YARDDH003 which represent material from the Trailer Laydown and Northern Discovery drill-sections (Fig 2). The diamond-holes were located as part of an EIS jointfunding proposal with the WA Government to provide representative geological sections across an interval of geology that has not previously been sampled.

Metallurgical Results

All the results reported below were completed at Bureau Veritas laboratories in Perth and was supervised by a consulting metallurgist from Engenium Pty Ltd. However, some additional Davis Tube sampling on deeper intervals of the drill-core was undertaken by Coziron staff and processed at Bureau Veritas using the parameters established by the Engenium-supervised metallurgical programme.

Sample Intervals from Diamond-core

The metallurgical test-work programme focused on intervals of magnetite mineralisation at relatively shallow-levels in the drilling from the Northern Discovery and Trailer Laydown sections that might represent material recovered during the early stages of a mine development. Composite intervals and their associated head-grades are reported in Table 1.

Magnetite Recovery by Davis Tube and LIMS from Diamond Core

The Davis Tube magnetite recovery programme on the diamond core established the standardised grind-size for the optimum concentrate and comminution controls for the mill-work studies. The grind-size evaluation reviewed the magnetite concentrate composition at a P80 target of 125, 90, 63, 45, 38 and 28 microns. The best quality concentrate was recovered at a target size of 28 microns which had a measured particle size of about 20 microns (Table 2). This was consistent with the grindsize parameters developed and reported to the ASX previously for the Davis Tube processing of RC samples from the Ashburton.

Following the Davis Tube study on the diamond-core, a staged recovery programme was undertaken on larger scale samples. This involved an initial grind to a P80 of 45 microns and recovery of a rougher concentrate using a 1000 gauss magnetic separator (LIMS). The rougher concentrate was then milled to a P80 of 20 microns with a two stage LIMS recovery and cleaning process. Results are presented in Table 3.

Commentary on LIMS vs Davis Tube Recovery of Magnetite from the Ashburton system

The two-stage grind and LIMS recovery and cleaning typically produced only 1% less mass recovery than the Davis Tube, but it upgraded the Fe by up to 1.2%. This suggests that the Davis Tube is providing representative results to assist in identifying the more prospective portions of the Ashburton system.

Additional Davis Tube samples from the Diamond Drill-Core

Following the programme of Davis Tube and LIMS recovery on the shallow intercepts in the diamond-holes from the Northern Discovery and Trailer Laydown sections, intervals of magnetite mineralisation that were outside of the scope of the metallurgical programme were sampled at approximately 5m intervals and processed by Davis Tube. These provide a more comprehensive data-base of recovery results from the Ashburton magnetite system and results are reported in (Table 3). The projected outcrop expression of these zones is currently outside of the areas that have been drilled. The results provide evidence of the variations in concentrate yield and quality at deeper levels within intersections (Fig 2).

Summary and Future Work

An overall summary of results reported to the ASX during 2015 and 2016 on the 12 km long magnetic anomaly in the Ashburton Trough across E08/1686 and E08/1826 on the Yarraloola Project has established the following.

  1. The association of magnetite mineralization with highly deformed, felsic and rhyolitic volcanics confirms a setting in the Ashburton Basin.

  2. Although the magnetite-bearing rocks are unconformable beneath the Ashburton Formation and are complexly folded, as a suite the system appears to steeply dip to the south-west.

  3. No blue asbestos has been detected during any of the field or laboratory work to date.

  4. The thickest down-hole intervals of magnetite-mineralization are recorded from the Trailer Laydown (YAR098, YAR099), Spinifex Hill (YAR100, YAR101) and Northern Discovery (YAR102 and YAR103) drill-sections. Other significant magnetic anomalies within the system are yet to be drill-tested (Fig 2).

  5. The intercepts of magnetite mineralization are characterised by magnetic susceptibility in excess of 10,000 SI units and Fe contents greater than 30%.

  6. Mass yields from the Davis Tube increase below 70m down-hole or about 35m vertically, which is interpreted as the base of surface oxidation. Some high-silica concentrates are produced above the base-of-oxidation.

  7. All the Davis Tube concentrates are low in phosphorous (less than 0.05%) and alumina (less than 1.0%).

  8. Davis Tube concentrates from all the RC samples in the Trailer Laydown, Spinifex Hill and Northern Discovery drill-sections produced an overall weighted average mass recovery of 26% with Fe @ 65.7% and SiO2 @ 7.44%. However, samples from the thick and more central Spinifex Hill section average a mass recovery of 31.9% with Fe @ 66.8% and SiO2 @ 6.4% (Fig 3). The Spinifex Hill section will become the focus of future work.

  9. Stepwise grinding and LIMS recovery has the potential to reduce the SiO2-content by at least 1%.

Origin and Background

Magnetite mineralisation in the Ashburton Trough is represented by a high-order magnetic anomaly distributed over an area of about 12 km long and 800 m wide on tenements E08/1686 and E08/1826 (Fig 1). The rocks hosting the magnetite outcrop intermittently as a suite of north-west, trending, strongly folded, variably siliceous, chloritic schists that dip steeply to the south-west. The schists are interbedded with volcanics and volcaniclastics that include basaltic compositions in the east, andesitic to dacitic compositions in the central part and coarse fragmental rhyolites in the west.

This volcanic-associated setting for the magnetite is typical of Algoma-style deposits, which are attributed to an oceanic sea-floor setting. The magnetite-bearing schists also appear to be contained within an inlier in the Ashburton Trough. This is highlighted by the irregular, unconformable on-lap of the more gently folded Ashburton Formation which is of Paleoproterozoic age along the western boundary. The magnetite-bearing units are also covered in parts by the much younger (Cretaceousage) flat-lying Yarraloola Conglomerate. Work is focussing on the most prospective parts of the mineralised system which are either outcropping or appear to have less than 20m of oxidised overburden cover.

Appendix 1 – Reporting of exploration results from the Ashburton Prospect in the Yarraloola Project - JORC 2012 requirements.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
Samples are derived from 5.5” (140mm) reverse
circulation drilling holes with continuous down-hole
sampling available from HQ and NQ diamond drill-core.
The diamond core is diamond sawn length-wise in half
and then one side of the half-core is quartered as
appropriate for the test-work programme. Half-core was
retained and lodged with the Geological Survey of
Western Australia as per the requirements of the EIS co-
funding arrangement.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
All RC drill cuttings pass through a continuously operating
rotary cone splitter and samples are 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. Diamond core is continuous.
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.
An entire 2-3kg RC drill-chip sample or a minimum of a
quarter of the diamond-core over the sample interval has
previously been crushed, dried and pulverized at Bureau
Veritas Laboratories in Perth. Western Australia. A sub
sample was fused for the "extended iron-ore suite" of
major oxide and selected trace-element analysis obtained
by XRF Spectrometry and laser ablation ICPMS on the
disk. Au, Pt Pd is by fire assay.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg 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).
Reverse circulation (RC) holes using a 5.5” (140mm)
face-sampling percussion hammer. Diamond drilling uses
HQ and NQ recovery.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
Sample size was monitored by Geologists during the
drilling programme. The volume of sample derived from
each meter drilled was approximately equal.
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative nature of the
samples.
Standard RC sampling techniques were employed and
deemed adequate for sample recovery. Some water was
injected into the sample stream during drilling to minimise
the loss of fine particles.
All diamond-core is measured between the drill-depth
marker blocks. Any core loss is quantified. Core recovery
beneath the shallow-interval of surface weathering has
typically been 100%.
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 loss of fine RC material has been minimized during
drilling. There is no loss of fine material during diamond
drilling. Sample recovery is regarded as being
representative.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level
of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
Each metre of reverse circulation chips is described
geologically for mineralogy, colour and texture and
magnetic susceptibility measured by hand held MagRock
metre. Diamond core is logged by geological interval. No
mineral resource estimates are included in this report.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel,
etc) photography.
Logging is qualitative.
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
All RC drill holes were logged at 1m intervals, for the
entire length of each hole. All diamond-core is logged and
describedforgeology.

Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
Core was cut in half length-wise and one half was then
quartered length-wise if required. Smaller-scale Davis
tube and associated geochemical work used quarter core.
Larger-scalemilltest-workusedhalf-core.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
Reverse circulation drill chip samples were collected and
split by a rig-mounted static 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 RC samples were simultaneously collected in
mineralized intervals, using the cone splitter.
Approximately 1 in 20 duplicate samples were analysed
to ensure representivity.
Approximately 1 in 10 of the Davis Tube concentrates is
routinely checked for particle size.
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.
Diamond drill-holes are located to provide representative
recovery of the intervals of geology intercepted by the RC
drilling.
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 geochemical sample is sufficient to provide a
representative indication of the material being sampled.
A minimum of 2-3kg of quarter diamond-core is used to
obtain representative analysis through mineralised
intervals.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of
the assaying and laboratory procedures used
and whether the technique is considered partial
or total.
XRF analysis of fused disks is used to provide a total
analysis technique. Davis Tube involves pulverising 150g
of the 5m composite sample to a p80 of -38 microns, then
about 20g is placed in the tube and washed for
approximately 20 mins across a magnetic field of 3000
gauss. The dried concentrate is weighed to determine
mass yield and analysed by fused disk extended iron-ore
suite XRF as a total analysis technique.
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 diamond-
core and a response of greater than 10,000 SI units
highlights the highly magnetic intercepts of magnetite
mineralization 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.
The Davis Tube composite results are compared to the
1m interval down-hole geochemical samples and
magnetic susceptibility. The results in this report are part
of an early-stage exploration programme to establish
relative prospectivity within a large-scale mineralised
system. Internal laboratory checks are sufficient at this
stage.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections
by either independent or alternative company
personnel.
No independent of alternative company personnel were
used to verify the intersections.
The use of twinned holes. The drill intercepts reported are from a first-phase
exploratory drill programme.

All data is transferred from the laboratory electronically
and imported directly into a Microsoft access database
and checked periodically against the pdf files.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. There has been no adjustment to any analytical data.
Location of data
points
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 surveyed independently by
differential GPS.
Specification of the grid system used. The grid system is MGA GDA94, zone 50, all easting's
and northing’s are reported in MGA co-ordinates
Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.
SRTM90 data is used to provide topographic control and
is regarded as being adequate for early stage exploration.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
The drill holes are 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.
Davis tube samples are typically composited in the field
on 5m down-hole intervals. The composite interval is
reported with the assay results table.
LIMS samples are composited after the drill-core is sawn
and the intervals are reported with the results
Orientation of
data in relation to
geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is known,
Mineralization is contained within a sequence that dips at
about 70 to the south-west
considering the deposit type.
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, packed in bulka bags
and transported by RGR Transport from site directly to
Bureau Veritas laboratories in Perth.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
No audits or reviews of the sampling techniques and data
have been obtained.

Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status
Type, reference name/number, location
and ownership including agreements or material
issues with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or national
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.

Exploration done
by other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration
by other parties.
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 a sequence of chlorite schists that are
interbedded with intermediate and rhyolitic volcanics in
the Ashburton Trough.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to
the understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following information
for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar Drill-hole collar Eastings and Northings are independently
surveyed by DGPS and reported using map projection
GDA Zone50, entered into an Access database. The map
locations have been checked by the competent person.
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill
hole collar
The area has only minor relief and SRTM90 is used for
elevation. Drill-hole elevations are independently
surveyed by DGPS.
o dip and azimuth of the hole The diamond holes are -60 to 050.
o down hole length and interception depth Down hole lengths and intercept depths are calculated
from 1m interval samples that are progressively collected
as the holes are drilled.
o hole length. Hole lengths are reported both on the geological and
driller logs, entered into the access database and have
been checked by a competent person.

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.
Reported down-hole intercepts have magnetic
susceptibility greater than 10000 times the host-rock
sequence. 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.
Davis Tube samples are aggregated into approximately
5m down-hole intervals in the field by splitting
approximately 1kg from each RC sample bag. Intervals
are reported with results.
Diamond-core LIMS and Davis Tube samples are
aggregated after the core is sawn and the intervals are
reportedwiththeresults.
The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalents are presented
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature
should be reported.
The -60 inclined drill-holes are designed to intercept the
moderately to steeply dipping geology and obtain
sections across the geological units.
If it is not known and only the down hole The relationship of the down-hole widths and the true
thickness is yet to be determined.
lengths are reported, there should be a clear

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 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.
The intervals reported represent the down-hole
intercepts of magnetite rich rocks which are the focus
zones for future work
Balanced
reporting
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.
Intervals are samples with elevated magnetic
susceptibility.
Other substantive
exploration data
The nature and scale of planned further
work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
Additional RC and diamond drilling, geochemical
analysis, quantitative mineralogical studies, Davis Tube
and LIMS recoveries of magnetite concentrates and their
analysis, along with infill and extensional drilling are being
planned.
Further work Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
Areas with high magnetic responses have been identified
in Fig 2.
