ASX Release

27 August 2024

Triumph Gold Project Sold for $2 million

Highlights

  • Sunshine has finalised a binding sale and purchase agreement with Dart Mining NL (ASX: DTM, “Dart”), to divest the Triumph Gold Project (“Triumph”) for a total consideration of $2 million, comprised of $1 million in cash and $1 million in Dart fully paid ordinary shares, subject to completion.

  • When completed, the divestment allows Sunshine to focus funds and efforts on the flagship Ravenswood Consolidated Project (“Ravenswood”) while retaining upside in Triumph via Dart.

  • Diamond drilling is ongoing at Ravenswood and is currently focussed on the 400m long, underdrilled Gap Zone at Liontown, with assays expected in early September 2024.

Sunshine Metals Limited (ASX:SHN, “Sunshine”) has entered into a binding agreement to divest Triumph to Dart Mining for $2 million in cash and Dart shares, subject to completion.

Sunshine Managing Director, Dr Damien Keys , commented “When completed, the divestment of Triumph represents a win-win for both businesses. Sunshine will then focus on Ravenswood Consolidated, while Triumph is progressed by the capable team at Dart.

The core focus for Sunshine is at Ravenswood which has a substantial high-grade gold and base metal Resource and a plethora of exciting large-scale, exploration targets. Resource extensional diamond drilling is well underway at Liontown with assay results expected in early September 2024.

As significant shareholders, we wish the Dart team every success at Triumph.”

Ravenswood Consolidated Project (Zn-Cu-Pb-Au-Ag-Mo): Located in the Charters TowersRavenswood district which has produced over 20Moz Au and 14mt of VMS Zn-Cu-Pb-Au ore. The project comprises:

  • a Zn-Cu-Pb-Au VMS Resource of 5.45mt @ 12.0% ZnEq (47% Indicated, 53% Inferred[9] );

  • 26 drill ready VMS Zn-Cu-Pb-Au IP geophysical targets where testing of a similar target has already led to the Liontown East discovery (1.47mt @ 11.0% ZnEq, 100% Inferred);

  • the under-drilled Liontown Au-rich footwall with significant intersections including:

    • 20.0m @ 18.2g/t Au (109m, 24LTRC005)

    • 17.0m @ 22.1g/t Au (67m, 23LTRC002)

    • 8.0m @ 11.7g/t Au & 0.9% Cu (115m, LLRC184)

    • 8.1m @ 10.7g/t Au (154m, LTDD22055)

    • 16.2m @ 4.54g/t Au, 1.11% Cu (from 319m, 24LTDD024)

    • 5.0m @ 27.9g/t Au, 1.7% Cu (20m, LRC018)

    • 2.0m @ 68.6g/t Au (24m, LRC0043)

  • advanced Au-Cu VMS targets at Coronation and Highway East, analogous to the nearby Highway-Reward Mine (4mt @ 6.2% Cu & 1.0g/t Au mined);

  • overlooked orogenic, epithermal and intrusion related Au potential with numerous historic gold workings and drill ready targets; and

  • a Mo-Cu Exploration Target at Titov of 5-8mt @ 0.07-0.12% Mo & 0.28-0.44% Cu[10] .

*Investigator Project (Cu): Located 100km north of the Mt Isa, home to rich copper-lead-zinc mines that have been worked for almost a century. Investigator is hosted in the same stratigraphy and similar fault architecture as the Capricorn Copper Mine, located 12km north.

*Hodgkinson Project (Au-W): Located between the Palmer River alluvial gold field (1.35 Moz Au) and the historic Hodgkinson gold field (0.3 Moz Au) and incorporates the Elephant Creek Gold, Peninsula Gold-Copper and Campbell Creek Gold prospects.

*A number of parties have expressed interest in our other quality projects (Investigator Cu and Hodgkinson Au-W). These projects will be divested in an orderly manner in due course.

9 SHN ASX Release, 7 February 2024, “Significant Increase in Liontown Resource”.

10 Cautionary statement: The Exploration Target has been prepared and reported in accordance with the 2012 edition of the JORC Code. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. Exploration Target for Titov based on several factors discussed in the corresponding Table 1 which can be found with the original ASX release 21 March 2023 “Shallow High Grade Titov Cu-Mo Exploration Target”.
