ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 27 March 2024

Drilling and Geophysical Results from Tarraji-Yampi (80%, 100%)

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Assays and downhole EM (“DHEM”) results have been received for 11 RC holes (1,289m) and 2 diamond holes (530.3m) drilled at Tarraji-Yampi in late 2023 delivering additional mineralisation and significant geological understanding for the project.

  • EIS co-funded diamond holes (KMRD056 and KMRD057) intersected laminated, brecciated and semi-massive sulphides extending mineralisation at the Orion deposit a further 100m down dip and remaining open at depth and along strike. Significant intercepts include:

KMRD057: 4.20m @ 1.0% Cu, 15.1g/t Ag, and 0.01% Co from 213m and

  • 0.42m @ 1.1% Cu, 2.7% Zn, 80g/t Ag and 4.1g/t Au from 257.82m

KMRD056: 1.35m @ 1.0% Cu, 0.01% Co from 198.6m

  • Modeling of DHEM results from KMRD056 shows a conductive horizon that sits within a larger (300m x 230m) and highly conductive (25,800S) horizon that extends to the 500m depth of the Orion geophysical anomaly.

  • 7 RC holes testing EM conductors intersected mineralisation comparable to that seen around the fringes of Orion. DHEM confirmed off-hole and edge-hit anomalies, including KMRC060 which has a strong 70m x 200m, 16,700S off-hole conductor and a significant intercept indicative of the fringe of a VMS lode including:

KMRC060: 2m @ 0.4% Pb, 0.1% Zn and 16.6g/t Ag from 106m

  • 2 RC holes into the Ironclad target intersected quartz-sulphide veining along a significant structure, similar to the Grant’s Find Cu-Au-Co deposit with intercepts including:

KMRC059: 1m @ 2.2% Cu, 0.83% Co and 0.4g/t Au from 24m

Dreadnought Resources Limited (“Dreadnought”) is pleased to announce assay and geophysical results from RC and diamond drilling at the Tarraji-Yampi Project, located in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia.

Dreadnought’s Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: “The 2023 drilling program in the Kimberley was challenging and cut short due to unseasonable weather, bush fires and rig breakdowns. However, the program still delivered an extension to the Orion mineralisation and confirming mineralisation and or identifying significant off hole conductors from many of the holes drilled. And, thanks to the GSWA’s co-funded Exploration Incentive Scheme diamond holes drilled at Orion, there has

==> picture [321 x 185] intentionally omitted <==

been significant advancements in the understanding of the mineral systems active at Tarraji-Yampi including that Orion is a Cu-Au-VMS system, similar to Degrussa in the Bryah Basin, which will improve our targeting and follow up programs. The program remains largely incomplete as originally intended and we look forward to applying our learnings and prioritizing targets for testing in 2024.

SNAPSHOT – Tarraji-Yampi Cu-Au-Ag-Co

Unexplored since the 1970s

  • Outcropping mineralisation was discovered in 1905 and mined for copper at Grant’s Find, Wilson’s Reward, Monarch, Ironclad and Tarraji from 1907-1920.

  • Only historical exploration within the area was by WMC Resources (“WMC”) in the 1950s and Australian Consolidated Minerals (“ACM”) in the 1970s, with both parties exploring for copper.

  • Contained entirely within the Yampi Sound Training Area (“YSTA”), Commonwealth land was off limits to mineral exploration from 1978 to 2013.

Genuine Camp Scale Potential

  • Five clusters of historical mining on outcropping mineralisation.

  • Orion discovery (~350m wide x ~150m long x 250m deep and modelled to at least 500m deep), under just 1m of cover, made in 2021. Results include KMRC022: 16m @ 2.2% Cu, 38.7g/t Ag, 6.6g/t Au, 0.40% Co from 77m (ASX 15 Nov 2021).

  • 13 additional Orion look-alikes defined through geochemical and geophysical surveys including 5 with known outcropping mineralisation, and 6 with coincident highly conductive bodies.

  • Lithostructural and geochemical similarities to pelitic-mafic or “Besshi-style” VMS systems such as Degrussa in Western Australia, Windy Craggy in Canada or the Matchless deposits in Namibia.

- Significant, Step Change, Growth Potential

  • Dreadnought is the first explorer to deploy modern geochemical and geophysical techniques to explore for mineralisation under shallow cover in the region.

High-Grade, Multi-Metal Potential Including Cu-Ag-Au-Co

  • Previous drilling at Orion includes thick high-grade intersections (ASX 15 Nov 2021):

KMRC022: 16m @ 2.2% Cu, 38.7g/t Ag, 6.6g/t Au, 0.40% Co from 77m, including:

  • 2m @ <0.1% Cu, 4.8 g/t Ag, 27.6g/t Au, 1.50% Co from 77m, and:

7m @ 4.7% Cu, 83.3g/t Ag, 4.9g/t Au, 0.20% Co from 82m KMRC039: 20m @ 1.4% Cu, 13.4g/t Ag, 0.5g/t Au, 0.03% Co from 3m, including:

3m @ 7.6% Cu, 116g/t Ag, 2.2 g/t Au, 0.14% Co from 18m KMRC047: 12m @ 3.0% Cu, 21.4g/t Ag, 1.7g/t Au, 0.02% Co from 1m, including: 5m @ 5.9% Cu, 44.9 g/t Ag, 3.7g/t Au, 0.01% Co from 1m

Global Energy Decarbonisation Driving Copper Fundamentals

  • Copper is essential for electricity-related technologies with renewable energy systems requiring up to 12x more copper compared to traditional energy systems.

  • S&P Global forecasts that global demand for copper could double by 2035, from 25mt to 50mt. Under this scenario, by 2030, supply from both existing and projected copper mines will meet just 80% of demand (S&P Global: The Future of Copper, July 2022) .

Technical Discussion of RC and Diamond Drilling

The 2023 RC and diamond drilling program aimed to achieve two main objectives:

  • Prove the scale potential of Cu-Ag-Au-Co mineralisation at Tarraji-Yampi through the discovery of additional massive sulphide bodies.

  • Test the depth extents of Orion where geophysical modelling shows mineralisation continues to >500m and gets stronger at depth. Drilling was co-funded by the highly successful Exploration Incentive Scheme from the Geological Survey of Western Australia (“EIS”).

Unfortunately, neither of these objectives was fully achieved due to operational challenges including rig breakdowns and bush fires.

However, the program has successfully confirmed that mineralisation continues for a further 100m down dip at Orion and remains open at depth and down plunge. The diamond drilling also provided insight which will allow for improved targeting and prioritisation. Further details regarding the results of each drill hole is outlined below.

Orion (KMRD056 and KMRD057)

At Orion, 2 diamond holes were drilled to test the fixed loop EM (“ FLEM ”) plate at depth.

KMRD056 was drilled into the southern edge of the plate and intersected laminated to brecciated sulphides including 1.35m @ 1.0% Cu, 0.01% Co from 198.6m and a second zone of mineralisation of 4m @ 0.1% Cu, 0.4% Zn, 0.1% Pb and 0.2g/t Au from 245m near the target depth of the plate. Modeling of DHEM results from KMRD056 shows a conductive horizon that sits within a larger (300m x 230m) and highly conductive (25,800S) horizon that extends to the 500m depth of the Orion geophysical anomaly.

KMRD057 was drilled into the centre of the FLEM plate and also intersected two zones of mineralisation including 4.2m @ 1.0% Cu, 15.1g/t Ag, and 0.01% Co from 213m and 9m @ 0.2% Cu, 0.3% Zn, 0.1% Pb, 12.3g/t Ag and 0.5g/t Au from 252m including 0.42m @ 1.1% Cu, 2.7% Zn, 0.5% Pb 80g/t Ag and 4.1g/t Au from 257.82m depth. A DHEM survey on KMRD057 was unable to be conducted due to a collapsed hole.

The upper zone of mineralisation in both holes may represent an emerging second VMS horizon or an epithermal overprint (similar to Grant’s Find) that warrants further testing at depth and along strike.

Some of the thickest and highest-grade mineralisation at Orion to date has been drilled within an upper magnetic anomaly, indicating the magnetic anomalism may be related to thicker or stronger mineralisation. A planned deeper diamond hole to test the magnetic anomaly and the EM plates at depth was not drilled due to the threat of fire. This anomaly remains a high priority target for extending mineralisation at Orion to depth (Figure 3).

Orion Look-alikes (KMRC060 - KMRC064)

In addition, 4 effective RC holes were drilled at Orion look-alike targets (OR1, OR2, OR4 and OR7).

KMRC060 was drilled OR2 being a coincident geochemical and conductive geophysical anomaly (220m x 245m x 4,590S). Drilling intersected 2m @ 0.4% Pb, 0.1% Zn and 16.6g/t Ag from 106m which is indicative of the fringes of a VMS horizon. DHEM produced a 70m x 200m 16,700S edge-hit / off-hole conductor at ~105m supporting the interpretation that KMRC060 as a near miss with a strong 16,700S conductor to test with follow up drilling.

KMRC061 was drilled at OR7 intersected 1m @ 1.75% Zn, 0.1% Pb from 81m and a second interval from 89-90m which intersected 0.2% Zn and 4.7g/t Ag both geochemically indicative of an exhalative horizon. A DHEM survey on KMRC061 indicates a broad (735m x 135m 6,070S) conductor with an even stronger off-hole response at 90m depth located north and at depth.

==> picture [394 x 541] intentionally omitted <==

KMRC062 was drilled to test OR1 which is defined as a strong geochemical anomaly situated along an interpreted cross cutting fault from Orion. Drilling intersected no mineralisation, however, a strong 105m x 40m and 7,210S off hole conductor was identified to the south at ~120m depth. Given the proximity of this conductor to Orion and interpreted association with a primary controlling structure, this target effectively remains untested.

KMRC063 was drilled to test OR4 being a coincident geochemical and geophysical anomaly with a weakly mineralised subcropping gossan. No significant mineralisation was intersected. However, three edgehit / off-hole conductors were intersected at 105m depth (140m x 290m, 7,900S), 125m depth (55m x 58m, 9,500S) and 185m depth (55m x 58m, 9,500S). Each of these horizons is associated with pathfinder (Ba, Cd, In, Mo, Tl) anomalism potentially indicative of an exhalative horizon.

Ironclad (KMRC058 - KMRC059)

At Ironclad, 2 holes were drilled to test for chalcopyrite-rich vein hosted mineralisation along a major structure with sporadic outcropping mineralisation. Both holes intersected mineralised quartz-sulphide veins potentially analogous to the epithermal mineralisation seen at Grant’s Find with significant intercepts including:

KMRC059: 1m @ 2.2% Cu, 0.83% Co and 0.4 g/t Au from 24m

KMRC058: 1m @ 0.5% Cu, 0.34% Co and 0.1g/t Au from 26m

This drilling confirms mineralisation associated with a major structural trend that runs for ~4km between Orion and the Rough Triangle target. The dip of the mineralised structure was shallower than originally interpreted and may be suitable for IP surveys.

Thunderer (KMRC052 - KMRC055)

A total of 3 effective RC holes were drilled to test EM plates at Thunderer East and a mineralised quartz vein at Thunderer North. KMRC052 at Thunderer North intersected a mineralised quartz vein returning 3m @ 0.26% Co. The hole has not explained the outcropping Cu, Ag and Au mineralisation. The limited strike extent of the outcrop and lack of significant mineralisation means that this target is considered tested for now.

Of the other 2 effective holes: KMRC054 intersected no significant mineralisation or off-hole conductor; and KMRC053 intersected anomalous pathfinder (Ba, Cd, In, Mo, Tl) mineralisation indicative of a near miss with a coincident off-hole conductor of 160m x 260m and 4,800S.

Target Review (New Learnings and New Models)

The diamond drilling at Orion (2023) and Grant’s Find (2019) was recently reviewed by leading consulting geologist Gerard Tripp and concluded that two distinct styles of mineralisation are present at Tarraji-Yampi, being Proterozoic Cu-Au+/-Zn-Ag-Pb VMS (similar to DeGrussa) and younger epithermal Cu-Au-Co mineralisation (similar to Thaduna / Green Dragon near Degrussa). The confirmation of Orion as a VMS system significantly changes the interpretation of the area, the targets, and tools available to explore these systems. In particular, geochemical zonation and the ability to fingerprint exhalative horizons as well as the recognition that these deposits can have complex geometries and form multiple lodes and within camps of several deposits.

These new findings will be integrated into a review of the data to date and will likely result in an updating of the targets and allow

for prioritisation of targets.

Furthermore, the identification of epithermal mineralisation opens up the opportunity to trial additional geophysical techniques such as IP to identify additional Grant’s Find style mineralisation undercover.

This review is expected to be completed by June 2024.

A summary of currently defined targets and their status is below.

Background of the 2023 Cu-Au-Ag-Co Drilling Program

Tarraji-Yampi was off limits to exploration from 1978-2013; a period that saw over 50% of Australia’s mineral deposits discovered through the application of modern geophysical and geochemical techniques and an evolving understanding of mineral systems.

The region is known to contain outcropping quartz copper-gold lodes that were mined for copper on a small scale in the early 1900s and explored briefly by WMC in 1958 and ACM in 1972. The area has lithostructural and geochemical similarities to pelitic-mafic or “Besshi-style” VMS systems such as Degrussa in Western Australia, Windy Craggy in Canada or the Matchless deposits in Namibia. Dreadnought, for the first ever time, is applying modern exploration techniques and knowledge to discover mineralisation in this highly prospective terrain.

In 2021, Dreadnought tested one of its first undercover geophysical targets at Orion intersecting (ASX 25 Aug 2021):

KMRC017: 12m @ 1.6% Cu, 31.7g/t Ag, 0.5g/t Au, 0.02% Co from 45m

This was quickly followed up by additional drilling confirming mineralisation to be ~350m wide x ~150m long, modelled to at least 500m deep and open down dip. Significant intercepts include (ASX 15 Nov 2021):

KMRC022: 16m @ 2.2% Cu, 38.7g/t Ag, 6.6g/t Au, 0.40% Co from 77m, including: 2m @ <0.1% Cu, 4.8 g/t Ag, 27.6g/t Au, 1.50% Co from 77m, and: 7m @ 4.7% Cu, 83.3g/t Ag, 4.9g/t Au, 0.20% Co from 82m KMRC039: 20m @ 1.4% Cu, 13.4g/t Ag, 0.5g/t Au, 0.03% Co from 3m, including: 3m @ 7.6% Cu, 116g/t Ag, 2.2 g/t Au, 0.14% Co from 18m KMRC047: 12m @ 3.0% Cu, 21.4g/t Ag, 1.7g/t Au, 0.02% Co from 1m, including: 5m @ 5.9% Cu, 44.9 g/t Ag, 3.7g/t Au, 0.01% Co from 1m

In addition, it was determined that the black plain soil at Orion was only 1-9m thick instead of the 30-40m originally interpreted. This made for the application of auger sampling to provide a geochemical dataset to the geophysical datasets utilised to date. Since 2021, over 2,600 auger samples have been collected across Tarraji-Yampi.

The auger geochemical dataset has been transformational in understanding the lithostructural setting at Tarraji-Yampi and has resulted in the definition of 14 Orion look-alikes with strong coincident geochemical and geophysical anomalies, with 5 containing outcropping gossans.

The YSTA is the second largest Defence Reserve in Australia after Woomera in South Australia and was off limits to mineral exploration from 1978 to 2013.

The only significant exploration undertaken in the area was by WMC Resources in 1958 and Australian Consolidated Minerals in 1972, with both parties exploring for copper. Since opening for exploration in 2013, Dreadnought has secured the largest ground holding within the YSTA and developed strong working relationships with both the Department of Defence and the Dambimangari People.

Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

Kimberley Ni-Cu-Au Project (80/100%)

The project is located only 85kms from Derby in the West Kimberley region of WA and was locked up as a Defence Reserve since 1978.

The project has outcropping mineralisation and historic workings which have seen no modern exploration.

Results to date indicate that there may be a related, large scale, Proterozoic Cu-Au VMS and epithermal system at Tarraji-Yampi, similar to Degrussa and Thaduna/Green Dragon.

Mangaroon Au, Ni-Cu-Co-3PGE & REEs 100% Project

Mangaroon covers ~5,000kms[2] and is located 250kms south-east of Exmouth in the Gascoyne Region of WA. At the Money Ni-Cu-Co-3PGE has been identified and is subject to an earn-in by First Quantum Minerals (up to 70%). Dreadnought also has areas of outcropping highgrade gold including the historic Star of Mangaroon and Diamonds gold mines. In addition, Mangaroon has emerged as a globally significant, rapidly growing, potential source of critical minerals. Highlights include:

  • An Exploration Target estimated for the top 150m of ~40km of the Yin REE Ironstone Complex (ASX 13 Feb 2023).

==> picture [247 x 329] intentionally omitted <==

  • An independent Resource for Yin Ironstones Complex of 29.98Mt @ 1.04% TREO over only ~4.6kms – including a Measured and Indicated Resource of 26.3Mt @ 1.04% TREO (ASX 30 Nov 2023).

  • Regional source of rare earths at the Gifford Creek Carbonatite totaling ~17kms x ~1km (ASX 7 Aug 2023).

  • A large, independent initial Resource of 10.84Mt @ 1.00% TREO at the Gifford Creek Carbonatites, containing a range of critical minerals including rare earths, niobium, phosphate, titanium and scandium (ASX 28 Aug 2023).

Bresnahan HREE-Au-U Project (100%)

Bresnahan is located ~125km southwest of Newman in the Ashburton Basin. The project comprises >3,700kms[2] covering over 200kms strike along the Bresnahan Basin / Wyloo Group unconformity. Bresnahan is prospective for unconformity related heavy rare earth (“ HREE ”) deposits similar to Browns Range HREE deposits, unconformity and channel-hosted uranium (“ U ”) deposits and mesothermal lode gold similar to Paulsens Au-Ag-Sb deposits along strike.

Prior to consolidation by Dreadnought, the Bresnahan Basin had been successfully explored for unconformity uranium with limited exploration for mesothermal gold. Bresnahan is a first mover opportunity to explore for unconformity HREE.

Central Yilgarn Gold, Base Metals, Critical Minerals & Iron Ore Project (100%)

Central Yilgarn is located ~190km northwest of Kalgoorlie in the Yilgarn Craton. The project comprises ~1,400kms[2] covering ~150km of strike along the majority of the Illaara, Yerilgee, South Elvire and Evanston greenstone belts. Central Yilgarn is prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits, VMS base metals, komatiitehosted nickel sulphides and critical metals including Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum.

Prior to consolidation by Dreadnought, the Central Yilgarn was predominantly held by iron ore explorers and remains highly prospective for iron ore.

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this
Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond (DD) drilling was
undertaken to produce samples for assaying.
Laboratory Analysis
Two sampling techniques were utilised for this program, 1m
metre splits directly from the rig sampling system for each
metre and 3m composite sampling from spoil piles. Samples
submitted to the laboratory were determined by the site
geologist.
1m Splits
From every metre drilled a 2-3kg sample (split) was sub-
sampled into a calico bag via a Metzke cone splitter from
each metre of drilling.
3m Composites

would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘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 (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
All remaining spoil from the sampling system was collected
in buckets from the sampling system and neatly deposited in
rows adjacent to the rig. An aluminium scoop was used to
then sub-sample each spoil pile to create a 2-3kg 3m
composite sample in a calico bag.
A pXRF is used on site to determine mineralised samples.
Mineralised intervals have the 1m split collected, while
unmineralised samples have 3m composites collected.
20cm – 1m quarter core samples are sawn and submitted to
the lab for analysis. If core is orientated, then the core is cut
so as to preserve the orientation line with the same side of
the core submitted down the hole.
For the purposes of metallurgical testing, half core was
submitted where possible to make the required bulk
composite mass required for ongoing testwork. In some
instances, this required full core to be used.
Core is orientated for structural and geotechnical logging
where possible. In orientated core, half core is submitted to
the lab for analysis in intervals ranging from 20cm to 1m
depending on the geological context. If core is orientated,
then the half core is cut so as to preserve the orientation
line with the same side of the core submitted down the hole.
QAQC samples consisting of duplicates, blanks and CRM’s
(OREAS Standards) will be inserted through the program at
a rate of 1:50 samples. Duplicate samples are submitted as
quarter core.
All samples are submitted to ALS Laboratories in Perth for
determination of 48 multi-elements via 4 acid digestion with
MS/ICP finish (ALS Code ME-MS61) determination of Au, Pt
and Pd by Fire Assay and ICP-AES finish (ALS Code PGM-
ICP24).
Drilling techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g.
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.).
RC Drilling
Ausdrill undertook the program utilising a Drill Rigs
Australia truck mounted Schramm T685WS drill rig with
additional air from an auxiliary compressor and booster. Bit
size was 5¾”.
Diamond Drilling
Diamond drilling was undertaken by Top Drill with a truck-
mounted low impact Sandvik DE880 diamond drill rig.
Drilling is either HQ to end of hole or initially HQ and
dropping to NQ once the hole is cased off for deeper drill
holes.
Core is orientated using a Reflex Sprint gyro and True Core
Orientation Tool.
Drill sample recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.

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.
RC Drilling
Drilling was undertaken using a ‘best practice’ approach to
achieve maximum sample recovery and quality through the
mineralised zones.
Best practice sampling procedure included: suitable usage of
dust suppression, suitable shroud, lifting off bottom between
each metre, cleaning of sampling equipment, ensuring a dry
sample and suitable supervision by the supervising geologist
to ensure good sample quality.
At this stage, no known bias occurs between sample
recovery and grade.
Diamond Drilling
HQ and NQ drilling has been undertaken. All core
recoveries are measured and recorded by the drill crew for
each run and remeasured and checked by Dreadnought
personnel.
Core recovery to date has been very high.
At this stage, no known bias occurs between sample recovery
andgrade.

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis
that the information is not Material and this exclusion does
not detract from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the
case.
An overview of the drilling program is given within the text
and tables within this document.
Data aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations
(e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.

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.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
Significant intercepts are length weight averaged for all
samples above the below cut offs (including up to 3m of
internal waste)
>0.2% Cu or Zn
>0.2g/t Au
No top cutting has been applied.
No metal equivalents are reported.
Relationship between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths

These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the
drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect
_(e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). _
Drilling is undertaken close to perpendicular to the dip and
strike of the mineralisation.
The true thickness of the mineralisation intersected in drill
holes cannot currently be calculated.
Diagrams
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.
