Investment Highlights

  • Large advanced exploration tenement package held in the Eastern Goldfields providing access to:
  • Established infrastructure;
  • Readily available workforce; and
  • Abundance of toll milling options
  • Highly anomalous gold values identified at the Spargoville Project Area
  • Significant supergene horizons open along strike at Valley Floor Prospect
  • Gold focused exploration package held in NT through farm-in and JV agreement with Ramelius Resources

Project Locations

Spargoville Gold Project (100% gold rights)

"I believe that the Spargoville Greenstone Belt is most likely to play host to other High Grade, High Margin Small to Medium Gold Deposits similar to the Wattle Dam Gold Mine"

  • Large advanced exploration tenement package in the Eastern Goldfields with pipeline of drill ready targets
  • Exploration tenement package covering ~11,440ha across:
  • 26 granted Mining Leases;
  • 2 granted Exploration Licences;
  • 6 Prospecting Licences; and
  • 2 Miscellaneous Licences
  • Encompasses previously mined, high grade Wattle Dam deposit
  • Wattle Dam mine produced 880,000t @ 10.1 g/t Au for 286,000 ozs

Spargoville Gold Project (Exploration Update)

Since last November,

  • 12 prospects have been drill tested
  • 2 prospects identified as priority targets – Redback and Core Farm Prospects.
  • Redback Prospect – high grade gold intersections within ultramafics or at contacts with felsics, located 700m from the Wattle Dam Gold Mine.
  • Core Farm Prospect - high grade, paleochannel gold intersections located immediately to the north west of the Wattle Dam Gold Mine.

Redback Prospect is an exciting development and our highest priority prospect.

Whilst we have a pipeline of hot prospects to further test, all our resources are now focussed on the Redback Prospect.

Spargoville Gold Project (Redback Prospect)

  • RC drilling has highlighted two gold mineralised zones at the Redback Prospect
  • High grade Eastern Zone mineralisation has now been intersected over a collective strike extent of 100 metres and remains open in several directions
  • Highly anomalous results in the Eastern Zone include:
  • 4m @ 7.46g/t Au from 113m incl 1m @ 18.2g/t Au
  • 3m @ 17.5g/t Au from 95m incl 1m @ 33.5g/t Au
  • 4m @ 29.1g/t Au from 160m*
  • 4m @ 10.7g/t Au from 132m*
  • 8m @ 7.20g/t Au from 108m incl 4m @ 9.84g/t Au*
  • 8m @ 4.55g/t Au from 92m incl 4m @ 7.43g/t Au*
  • Highly anomalous results in the Western Zone include:
  • 6m @ 4.47g/t Au from 124m incl 1m @ 14.3g/t Au
  • 3m @ 4.18g/t Au from 67m incl 1m @ 14.3g/t Au
  • 2m @ 8.82g/t Au from 136m incl 1m @ 13.4g/t Au
  • Follow up and Infill, 20 RC hole, 3000 metres drill programme underway
  • * Intercept calculated using 4m composite results

Spargoville Gold Project (Redback Prospect)

High grade Eastern Zone mineralisation has been intersected over a collective strike extent of 100 metres and remains open in several directions

Spargoville Gold Project (Redback Prospect)

Redback Prospect is a priority target for follow-up and infill RC drilling

Spargoville Gold Project (Core Farm Paleochannel)

  • RAB and Air Core Drilling highlighted significant paleochannel gold intersections over a 450m extent and along two separate interpreted paleochannel trends including
  • 1m @ 51.1g/t Au from 16m
  • 1m @ 92.6g/t Au from 14m
  • 3m @ 10.7g/t Au from 16m including 1m @ 29.0g/t from 16m
  • 2m @ 22.4g/t Au from 15m including 1m @ 43.5g/t from 15m
  • 1m @ 34.7g/t from 13m
  • 1m @ 14.9g/t Au from 10m

Results from recent drilling downgraded prospectivity of paleochannel target.

Future drilling will comprise Air Core drilling in order to extend the eastern mineralised paleochannel gold trend and RC drilling which will test for potential bedrock sources to the interpreted high grade paleochannel mineralisation.

Valley Floor Project (100% interest)

  • Valley Floor Project located in Eastern Goldfields directly south of Kambalda
  • Project has been expanded with the grant of E15/1399 and applications for E15/1434 to the northwest and E15/1438 to the southwest along the interpreted Alpha Island Fault trend
  • Prospect now covers exploration area of ~40km²
  • Nearby Alpha Island Fault is the focus of the recent "Invincible" discovery by Goldfields
  • Resource of 9.2Mt @ 4.5g/t Au for ~1.33Moz*

* Gold Fields Diggers & Dealers Presentation – August 2014

Valley Floor Project (100% interest)

  • Significant supergene horizons identified from Air Core drilling programme completed in October 2013
  • 54 Air Core drill holes were completed for 3,747m at a drill spacing of 80m x 200m
  • Drilling within the southern area intersected several anomalous intercepts within the Archaean sedimentary basement
  • Supergene horizons remain open along strike to the north and south
  • Further Air Core drilling planned to further define and extend the supergene horizons along with a potential RC drilling campaign

Tanami Projects

Farm-in and JV Agreement

  • Ramelius Resources Ltd (ASX:RMS) to farm-in on a package of 2 EL's and 6 ELA's held by Tychean
  • Farm-in terms include:
  • Ramelius to pay \$50,000 cash upon execution of the agreement;
  • Ramelius to commit to a minimum exploration expenditure of \$100,000 within 2 years;
  • Ramelius to earn an 85% interest in the project by exploration expenditure of \$500,000 within 3 years;
  • Tychean will be free carried until a decision to mine at which time it may elect to contribute its interest or convert to a 1.5% NSR Royalty

Summary & Forward Strategy

Spargoville

  • Further drilling at Redback Prospect highest priority to infill and extend identified high grade mineralisation
  • Infill Air Core/RC within prospective areas along strike from or areas analogous to Redback/Wattle Dam
  • Evaluate regional targets via RAB/Air Core drilling

Valley Floor

  • Air Core drilling planned to further define and extend the supergene zone identified at Valley Floor and test the subtle gold anomalies at Lefroy South
  • RC drilling planned to follow up any Air Core anomalies.
