Robe Mesa Iron Ore Project, Pilbara

Assay results confirm extensive DSO mineralisation below PFS pit designs

Results support plans to increase production and mine life at Robe Mesa, with updated Resource/Reserve on track for December Quarter

Highlights

  • Assays from the lower channel iron deposit (CID) in the south of the Robe Mesa deposit have returned strong direct shipping ore (DSO) results, in line with CZR’s targeted production grade

  • These results sit below the December 2020 Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) pit designs and provide further support for CZR’s plans to increase the production rate and mine life at Robe Mesa

  • Mineralisation is very consistent and shows thick intersections along the southern boundary adjacent to Rio Tinto’s Mesa F Deposit (Figure 2)

  • The upper CID outcrops at surface, with DSO mineralisation confirmed in drill results reported on 28 March 2022 (ASX announcement: “Robe Mesa Final Assay Results”)

  • Remaining assays, including the northern extension, are expected within 3-4 weeks, with an updated JORC Resource, Ore Reserve and mine plan for Robe Mesa targeted for later in the December 2022 Quarter

CZR Resources Limited (ASX: CZR) is pleased to announce that initial assay results from extensional Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at the Robe Mesa Iron Ore Project in Western Australia have confirmed extensive DSO mineralisation in the lower CID, supporting the Company’s plans to increase production and extend mine life.

The drilling program, which was completed in August 2022, comprised a total of 94 holes for 5,738 metres, focused on expanding the Resource to the north and infill drilling the lower CID in the south of the deposit.

Assay results from the first 39 holes provide further evidence of strong DSO mineralisation below the pit designs modelled in the December 2020 PFS and shows good continuity along strike with particularly strong results recorded on the boundary with Rio Tinto’s Mesa F deposit.

All drilling has now been completed to a nominal 50m x 50m drill pattern. This will enable CZR to maximise the conversion of Inferred Resources to Indicated Resource category, with Indicated Resources available for conversion to Ore Reserves.

Assay results are pending along the eastern flank of the Robe Mesa deposit and from the northern extension (Figure 1), which was drilled for the first time following heritage approval in June 2022. CZR is on track to report an updated JORC Mineral Resource, Ore Reserve and mine plan in the December quarter, 2022.

CZR completed an RC program targeting the upper CID in the south of the Robe Mesa deposit in late 2021, with assay results showing extensive DSO mineralisation at surface and supporting plans for a follow-up program to test the lower CID unit. The 2022 RC drill program twinned the southern holes but drilled deeper into the lower CID in areas where there was strong near-surface mineralisation that may support pushing the proposed pits deeper.

Significant intercepts from the initial batch of assays are listed in Table 2, with selected results annotated in Figure 2. At a 53% Fe cut-off (60% Fe calcined)[1] , the significant intercepts average 55.6% Fe (62.2% Fe calcined), 6.1% SiO2, 3.0% Al2O3 and 0.05% P, similar to Rio Tinto’s Robe Valley Fines, FMG’s Super Special Fines, and Atlas Iron’s Atlas Fines (see Table 1).

The depth to base of mineralisation is still very shallow, on average only 51 metres below surface, with a maximum depth of 61m below surface (Appendix A – Robe Mesa Cross sections). All mining will be above the water table with all waste back-filled in the mining void, minimising the environmental impact.

In addition to the RC drilling, CZR also completed a diamond drill program in July 2022. The core is now being processed and metallurgical and geotechnical test work has commenced. The results will provide process plant specifications, material handling data for shipping and sinter test work for customer acceptance trials, as well as geotechnical pit design and drill and blast parameters.

CZR Managing Director Stefan Murphy said the strong DSO assay results from outside of the PFS pit designs were a very positive outcome and strengthened the outlook for the Robe Mesa deposit.

“This first batch of assays from Robe Mesa provides strong support for our expansion plans, confirming the lower CID contains thick intersections of DSO, with the infill drilling also providing the opportunity to convert additional Resource tonnes into Reserves,” Mr Murphy said.

“We look forward to receiving the balance of the assay results in the coming weeks, in particular those from the northern extension which has never been previously drilled area and shows the same mineralisation extending north of the current Resource outline.

“CZR is now rapidly advancing the Robe Mesa Definitive Feasibility Study, with the next key milestones – an updated JORC Resource and Ore Reserve estimate – expected to be delivered in the December quarter.”

Appendix B – Project Background

CZR’s 85%-owned Robe Mesa deposit sits within the Robe Valley Channel Iron Deposits (Robe Valley CID). The Robe River JV (Rio Tinto 53%, Mitsui 33%, Nippon Steel 14%) has been mining Robe Valley CID since the 1970s and has current mining operations at Mesa A, Warramboo and Mesa J, with rail linking to export facilities at Cape Lambert.

The Robe Mesa iron ore deposit currently has JORC compliant Mineral Resource base of 37.5Mt at 56% Fe (62.6% Fe calcined) at a 55% Fe cut-off grade. The JORC Resource increases significantly to 69.6Mt at 54.5% Fe (61.0% Fe calcined) at a lower 50% Fe cut-off grade (Appendix C– Robe Mesa Resource and Reserves).

The Robe Mesa PFS (ASX announcement 10 December 2020) demonstrated a robust development plan with strong financial returns. However, CZR believes there is significant scope to further improve the project economics, hence its recent focus on expanding the PFS pit designs to extend the mine life and increase production rates from 2Mtpa to a more optimal 3Mtpa.

A key recommendation of the PFS was to close the drill spacing from 100m x 100m to 50m x 50m to improve confidence in grade distribution and enable larger, more coherent pit designs. In addition to increasing the size of the pits, the larger mining footprint will enable the new pit designs to extend into the lower pisolite of the Robe Valley CID, which was previously excluded from the PFS and which provides the best opportunity to rapidly increase the mining inventory of the Robe Mesa iron ore deposit.

CZR completed a 164 RC infill drilling program in December 2021 and a further 94 holes in August 2022, targeting the upper and lower pisolite units of the Robe Valley CID. The drilling was designed to reduce the drill-grid spacing and improve the Resource categorisation for Reserve conversion, and extend drilling into the previously untested northern extension. The results have also provided valuable data for CZR to assess additional iron ore products and/or adjust cut-off grades to increase mining inventory.

CZR is focused on increasing the production profile and mine life above the levels reported in the PFS. The DFS mine plan will target a production rate of +3Mtpa of DSO fines of similar specification to Rio Tinto’s Robe Valley fines, produced at the adjoining Mesa A and Warramboo mines.

The iron ore quality from Robe Mesa is comparable to other Pilbara fines products that have a strong market presence, having been used by steel mills for decades. The combined silica and alumina levels from Robe Mesa are comparable to its Pilbara peers (see Table 1), and while the iron content is lower, this is due to higher LOI (loss on ignition), meaning Robe Mesa iron ore calcines to similar levels through the sintering process.

Appendix D – JORC Code, 2012 Edition Table 1

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 were all collected from 5.5” (140mm)
reverse circulation drilling 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.
2-3kg of RC drill cuttings are spilt continuously
during drilling and collected at 1 metre intervals
in a pre-labelled calico sample bag. Samples
passed over a static cone splitter attached to the
drill-rig.
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 RC drill-chip sample was
crushed, dried and pulverized. A sub sample was
fused and the "extended iron-ore suite" of major
oxide and selected trace-element analysis was
obtained by XRF Spectrometry in 2014 and a
basic iron-ore suite was reported from the 2015,
2016, 2021 and 2022 programmes because most
trace elements are below detection.
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).
All reverse circulation (RC) drill-holes used a 5.5”
(140mm) face-sampling percussion hammer.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
RC sample size was monitored by Geologists
during the drilling programme. The volume of
sample derived from each metre 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.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
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 are
described geologically for colour, texture and
have an estimate of mineralogical abundance.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.
Logging of RC chips is qualitative.
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
Entire drill-holes are logged.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
No core was collected in the programme being
reported.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.
Reverse circulation drill chip samples were
collected dry and split by a static-cone splitter
duringdrilling.
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 mineralisation. 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 at a ratio of 1:20, using the splitters
attached to the rig to ensure representivity.
Certified Reference Material (CRM) were also
added as standards at a ratio of 1:20. Duplicates
and standards were inserted across the entire
drillhole, not just the mineralised interval.
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 splitters attached to the rig
selects a representative proportion of the
sample, providing an indication of compositional
variations associated with each lithology or
mineralised interval.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to
the grain size of the material being
sampled.
The 2-3kg of homogenised drill chips that was
recovered for each sample is sufficient to provide
a representative indication of the material being
sampled.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness
of the assaying and laboratory
procedures used and whether the
technique is consideredpartial or total.
All samples from the 2022 drill programme have
been analysed at ALS Laboratories in Perth. A

standard 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.
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.
No hand-held geophysical tools or hand-held
analytical tools were used for the reported
results.
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.
Certified Reference Material (CRM) were also
added as standards at a ratio of 1:20.
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
The verification of significant
intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
No independent or alternative company
personnel were used to verifythe intersections.
The use of twinned holes. Some RC holes have been twinned to determine
short-range variations in geology and
geochemistry but assays have not yet been
received or reported.
Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification, data
storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
All spatially located sample data is stored
electronically in a Microsoft Access database.
Assay data was received electronically and
uploaded by CZR Geologists. Printed and
laboratory-released PDF copies of analysis
certificates are stored.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. No adjustment or calibrations are made to any
assaydata.
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.
For the 2022 RC drill program, all drill hole
locations were initially derived from hand held
Garmin 73 GPS units, with an average accuracy of
±3m. CZR has since flown LiDAR survey and all
collar locations are set to the LiDAR elevation.
For pre-2022 drill holes, locations were initially
derived from a hand held Garmin 72h GPS units,
with an average accuracy of ±3m. All collars were
then recorded by an independent licensed
surveyor using a differential GPS with an accuracy
of 0.1m
Specification of the grid system used.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
CZR has reviewed the accuracy of LiDAR to DGPS
survey, with a very close correlation in reported
elevation accuracy.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
Drilling is located approximately on centres from
a 50m grid over an area of outcropping mapped
mineralisation.
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.
100m spaced drilling allowed the generation of
an Inferred Resource, reducing to 50m spacing
was sufficient for the conversion of a high-
proportion of the inferred to indicated and a
maidenprobable reserve.
Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
Sample results represent 1m interval reverse
circulation drill-chips and samples have not been
composited.
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, considering the deposit type.
Mineralisation is contained within a sub-
horizontal sheet and the vertical drill-holes and
associated sampling collects representative
material through the mineralised zone.
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.
Individually numbered samples were packed into
labelled bulka bags by CZR Geologists and
transported to independent intra-state transport
companies in Karratha from where they are
transported 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 theground.
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
weregenerated and theground was surrendered.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The Robe Mesa is a fluvial deposit of goethite-rich
fragments of wood and pisolites supported by a
fine grained goethitic matrix. The deposit outlines
the trace of a Tertiary-aged channel from the Robe
River into older rocks of the Ashburton Formation
that have since eroded.
Deposits of the channelized-style of goethitic
ironstone are represented and mined in other
parts of the Pilbara region of Western Australia
and the material is commonly referred to a “CID”
for marketing purposes.
The Mesa contains two cycles of deposition and
each has a sharp basal contact that shows an
upwards increase the amount of iron-rich
fragments.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
informationfor all Material drill holes:
o_easting and northing of the drill hole collar_ Drill-hole collar Eastings and Northings are
reported using map projection GDA Zone50,
entered into an Access database and the map
locations are checked bythe competentperson.
o_elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation_
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar
All pre-2022 collars were recorded by an
independent licensed surveyor using a differential
GPS with an accuracy of 0.1m
In July 2022 McMullen Nolan Group Pty Ltd (MNG)
captured Aerial Laser Scanning (ALS) data and
ground control surveys for the Robe Project, with
an accuracyof +/- 100mm
o_dip and azimuth of the hole_ All holes are vertical.
o_down hole length and interception depth_ Down hole lengths and intercept depths from the
RC drilling 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 drillers 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.
Minimum intercept widths are defined as drill
intervals greater than 5m with samples reporting
Fe>50% (calcined Fe>55%). Some intercepts
include a maximum of 2m of samples with
Fe<50%. Intercept values are numerical averages
of the relevant 1m sample results. No cutting of
highgrades has been used.

CZR Resources Ltd

Page 18

==> picture [161 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

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
intercepts are of equal length.
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.
Vertical drill-holes are designed to intercept the
true widths of the horizontally-oriented sheets of
pisolitic iron-stone mineralisation.
If it is not known and only the down hole
lengths are reported, there should be a clear
statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole
length, true width not known’).
Down-hole widths are regarded as true widths of
mineralisation.
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 with the drill-hole locations and
representative geological cross sections are
presented.
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.
Relevant diagrams have been included within the
report main body of text.
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.
The report is believed to include all representative
and relevant information and is believed to be
comprehensive.
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).
Diamond drilling for geotechnical and larger-scale
metallurgical test-work has been completed and
test work is underway.
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 of outcropping mineralisation that have yet
to be drilled are identified on the relevant maps.
