New Gold Lode at Eureka 4m @ 32.08g/t gold

Highlights:

  • New Footwall zone of high-grade gold discovered north of the Eureka Pit

  • Significant assays returned from the second RC programme at Eureka include:

    • Northern Area
  • New footwall structure in WRRC0106 4m @ 32.08 g/t gold from 104m

     - _including_ _**1m @ 116 g/t gold**_ from 104m _and_ _**5m @ 1.48 g/t gold**_ from 47m
    
  • 8m @ 1.38 g/t gold from 66m in WRRC0116

  • 3m @ 2.38 g/t gold from 115m in WRRC0059 (from resampled 4m composite)

    • Southern Area
  • 6m @ 13.88g/t gold from 38m in WRRC0121 (Southern Pit wall Area)

     - _including_ _**1m @ 56.6 g/t gold**_ from 41m
    
  • 4m @ 5.97 g/t gold from 132m in WRRC0122 (Southern Area down dip from existing resource)

  • All Eureka infill and North East extension drilling assays now received

  • A total of 29 holes for 3,537m have been drilled

  • Aircore drill program of the Eureka southern gold anomaly completed and awaiting assay results

  • Resource growth update to be commenced in August incorporating these new drill results

TNT Mines Ltd (ASX: TIN) (“TNT” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the results from the second reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at its 100%-owned Eureka Gold Project 50km north of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.

All planned RC drilling has now been completed for a total metreage of 3,537m and 29 holes, including one re-entered hole. Assays have now been received and will be incorporated into the existing resource model with a further resource update to follow.

Aircore drilling from the 1.2km geochemistry anomaly to the South East of the Eureka pit has been completed with assay results pending.

North East Extension

Drillhole WRRC0106 intersected 4m @ 32.08/t gold from 104m downhole, approximately 240m North East of the current pit into a previously untested structure. The structure sits in a bleached altered quartz rich mafic unit 35m into the footwall of the main structural target previously intersected in holes WRRC0059 (3m @ 2.38 g/t gold) and WRRC0052 (6m @ 2.78 g/t gold) .

Importantly, the lower structure intersected in WRRC0106 has not been previously intersected in any historical drilling to date and opens up an exciting new target area for future drilling.

High-grade oxide hosted mineralisation was again intersected close to the southern pit boundary within the previously modelled resource envelope. The interval high grade interval of 6m @ 13.88g/t from 38m in hole WRRC121 is located up dip from WRRC0001 (14m @ 2.15 g/t gold) which was drilled in the first programme in late 2020. Previous historic drilling had intersected mineralisation in this area with significant quartz visible in historic chips although these intervals were not assayed.

ASX Announcement 28 July 2021

==> picture [151 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

Follow up drilling to test the new structure along strike and down dip from WRRC0106 is now planned and will be commenced once all pending assays from the recently completed Eureka South aircore programme have been received and interpreted and a rig secured.

Northern High-Grade Area

CEO Matthew Boyes commented on these initial drill results, “The discovery of this new footwall zone in the northern extension area demonstrates the potential that still exists for additional ounces to be found on the Eureka property. We are in for a busy second half of 2021 with results pending from our first aircore programme to the South of the Eureka pit and the IP survey targeting the intrusive related mineralisation discovered at Reids Ridge. We look forward to updating the market as results and new information becomes available.”

Next Steps

TNT intends to follow up the high-grade interval in hole WRRC0106 to the north of the pit as soon as a rig can be secured. Follow up drilling is also planned at Reids Ridge with the final programme design being driven by the results from the ground array and pole-dipole IP programme currently underway. Results from the recently completed aircore programme at Eureka south are also due back in the coming weeks with any follow up targets resulting from these results to be included into drill programme’s over the remainder of the year.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data Eureka Programme

Criteria Commentary
Sampling
techniques

All samples were collected from a static cone splitter mounted directly below the
cyclone on rig. Samples were taken as 1m splits or 4m composites utilizing by scoop
collection directly after collection or a composite collected by addition of 4
individual 1m splits

This method of sampling is considered to be appropriate for this style of exploration
Drilling techniques
All drilling was completed by Drillwest Drilling utilizing an Austex x350 Reverse
Circulation rig utilizing 5”1/4 face sampling bit. Industry standard drilling methods
and equipment was utilised
Drill sample
recovery

No sample recovery was calculated or recorded for this program

Sample condition was recorded for every metre including noting presence of water
or minimal sample return
Logging
Geological logging of all drillholes followed standard company procedures.
Qualitive logging of samples includes lithology, mineralogy, alteration, veining and
weathering. All chip trays are photographed and every metre is logged sieved and
securely stored

Logging is suitable to support Mineral resource estimates and subsequent mining
studies
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation

1m cyclone splits through a static splitter mounted directly beneath the cyclone and
4m composite samples were taken in the field. 4m composites were either scoop
sampled from bagged sample. Samples were analysed at SGS Laboratories in
Kalgoorlie. Samples were pulverized so that each sample had a nominal 85% passing
75 microns. A 30g allotment was then analysed by fire assay method FA30. All
sample weights were recorded and reported.

All batches sent to lab included duplicate and industry standard CRM’s inserted at
suitable frequency within the sample batches
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests

All samples were prepared and assayed by industry standard techniques and
methods
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

Certified reference material and duplicates were inserted at approximately every 20
samples

A third-party independent database consultant has processed and verified the
QAQC data and sampling interval data
Location of data
points

Drillhole collars were designed and then pegged using a handheld GPS unit, all
completed holes have been surveyed by an independent third party to an
accuracy of approximately +/- 1cm, Locations are recorded in UTM coordinates

Downhole surveys were completed by Strike drilling using a Gyro instrument
Data spacing and
distribution

Drillhole spacing is variable throughout the program

Spacing is considered appropriate for this style of exploration and development
drilling
Orientation of data
in relation to
geological structure

Drillholes are orientated perpendicular to the regional trend of the mineralisation
previously drilled at the project, drillhole orientation does is not considered to have
introduced any bias to sampling techniques utlised
Sample security
All samples were collected processed and delivered directly to ALS Laboratories in
Kalgoorlie by TNT Mines staff
Audits or reviews
None carried out

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results Eureka

Criteria Commentary
Mineral tenement and
land tenure status

Drilling has been carried on 2 separate tenements, two mining and one
prospecting licence M24/189 and P24/5116 controlled 100% by TNT Mines
through its 100% owned subsidiary Warriedar Mining Pty Ltd. The tenements are
located 51.5km North of Kalgoorlie at the existing Eureka mine site

All tenements are in good standing at the time of the drilling
Exploration done by
other parties

Eureka Mine site has mined for the most part in the early 1990’s and then subject
to tribute mining in 2018. Limited exploration has been carried out since the
1990’s with drilling located close to existing pit with the objective of following the
existing mineralisation down dip
Geology
The Eureka gold project is located within a sequence of mafic and ultramafic
rocks forming part of the Kalgoorlie-Menzies sector of the Norseman to Wiluna
Greenstone belt. The sequence is approximately 6 kilometers wide with a
northerly trend. In the vicinity of the Eureka mine the sequence generally has an
easterly dip of between 65 to 70 degrees paralleled by regional foliation and
metamorphism.

Mineralisation is hosted with a sheared/faulted mafic package dipping to the
East at approximately 70 degrees, mineralisation is associated with numerous
quartz veins with and associated proximal alteration, base of oxidation extends
down to approximately 120m at the Eureka mine area mineralisation is up to 30m
in thickness
Drill hole Information
A list of the drill hole coordinates, orientations and metrics are provided as an
appended table
Data aggregation
methods

No grade truncations were applied to these exploration results. A weighted
average calculation was used to allow for bottom of hole composites that were
less than the standard 4m. No metal equivalents are used
Relationship between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths

The geometry of the mineralisation is known with the main quartz vein hosted
mineralisation interpreted to be dipping at 70 degrees to the east all drill
intercepts are estimated to represent 85-90% of the true width of mineralisation
intersected, only drillhole WRRC0081 is considered to have been orientated in a
manner where the intersected mineralisation represents approximately 60% of
true width
Diagrams
Figures have been included in the announcement
Balanced reporting
It is not practical to report all historical exploration results from the Eureka project
Other substantive
exploration data

Exploration at the Eureka project was previously carried out by Tyranna
Resources during 2018-2019, results of this work have been previously released
including a resource estimate and updated economic assessment
Further work
Further exploration and development drilling will be designed once the full
program has been completed and data checked and interpreted. A full
resource update is will be initiated on completion of this phase of drilling

Images included identify areas of potential future targets, further work is
discussed in the announcement
