Australian Securities Exchange Announcement

10 September 2014

ASX Market Announcements Australian Securities Exchange 20 Bridge Street SYDNEY NSW 2000

Further Gold Results from Spargoville WA.

Highlights

  • Mineralised Zones identified within RC drilling at Trapdoor Prospect

  • 8m @ 2.72g/t Au from 108m

  • 4m @ 3.96g/t Au from 140m

  • Further RC drilling at Redback and Trapdoor scheduled to commence mid-

September

Tychean Resources Ltd (ASX: TYK) ( Tychean or Company ) is pleased to announce receipt of the remaining four metre composite results from the recent RC Drilling Programme completed within the Company’s wholly owned Spargoville Gold Project in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, (Figure 1).

The results returned are from 9 RC drill holes (SPRC051 – SPRC059) that were completed at the Trapdoor and Hilditch Gold prospects during the recent drill programme. All results have now been received from the completed RC drilling.

Trapdoor Prospect

The completed RC drilling at the Trapdoor prospect was designed to further evaluate highly anomalous results returned from previous RC[1] drilling including 18 metres at 2.46g/t Au from 84 metres including 1 metre at 17.4g/t Au from 84 metres and 1 metre at 8.43g/t Au from 95 metres.

The geology intersected by the drilling at Trapdoor comprises predominantly ultramafic lithologies (with minor interlayered mafic and sedimentary lithologies) in contact with felsic lithologies to the east and west, approximately 400 metres along strike to the south of recently

reported high grade results at the Redback prospect.

The results from the drilling have highlighted mineralised zones, trending south – southeast, that dip steeply to the west that are associated with ultramafic lithologies and associated contacts.

Significant results returned from the drilling at the Trapdoor prospect include 8 metres at 2.72g/t Au from 108 metres , (SPRC051), 4 metres at 1.48g/t Au from 176 metres to EOH , (SPRC052), and 4 metres at 3.96g/t Au from 140 metres , (SPRC053). The above significant results are associated with the most eastern of the mineralised zones and interpreted ultramafic/felsic contact. This eastern mineralisation and geological contact is interpreted to steepen in dip at depth, to sub vertical to steeply easterly dipping, a feature also identified to be associated with the High Grade Eastern Zone at the Redback prospect.

Additional drilling is required at the Trapdoor prospect to further evaluate the significant intercepts that have been identified by the limited drilling completed to date, which has been at a relatively wide drill spacing of 40 metre x 40 metre.

Hilditch Gold Prospect

The completed RC drilling at the Hilditch Gold prospect was designed to test for dip and strike extensions to anomalous results returned from previous RC drilling[1 ] including 4m @ 2.41g/t Au from 140m to end of hole. A single significant result of 4 metres at 2.93g/t Au from 124 metres , (SPRC056), was returned from the completed drilling.

No immediate follow up drilling is planned at the Hilditch Gold prospect.

Significant (≥1.0g/t Au) results returned from the composite sampling of the drilling completed at the Trapdoor and Hilditch Gold prospects are included within Table 1 and all collar details from the entire drill program are included as Table 2.

Further Drilling

A ~3,000 metre, RC drilling programme has been generated to follow up highly significant results and mineralised trends identified from recent drilling at the Redback and Trapdoor prospects. The majority of the planned drilling at the Redback prospect will focus on extending the high grade mineralisation immediately to the north of recent drilling. Follow up drilling is planned at the Trapdoor prospect which will infill and extend recent drilling to an initial 20 metre x 40 metre drill spacing. This drilling is scheduled to commence mid-September 2014.

Criteria JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Sampling
techniques
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.
Composite scoop samples over 4 consecutive metres were
collected from RC drill holes which were drilled to evaluate
mineralised trends identified from previous drilling at depth
down dip and plunge. The RC drilling was completed at
various line spacing, (minimum 20m line spacing). A total of
31 RC drill holes for 4,064 metres were completed over 4
prospects. Results reported are from the remaining 9 RC drill
holes completed at the Trapdoor and Hilditch Gold prospects.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
A consistent scoop sampling method has been adopted for
composite drill sampling. All sampling protocols remained
constant throughout the program. All drill hole locations were
determined by handheld GPS.
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
(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.
RC drilling was used to obtain one metre drill samples from
which approximately a 2-3 kg composite sample (scoop
sampled as per above) was pulverized (>90% smaller than 75
micron) to produce a pulp sample for analysis.
Analysis of the four metre composite samples comprised a
25g aqua regia digest, solvent extraction then Flame Atomic
Absorption Spectrometry for Au determination to a lower
detection limit of 0.01ppm Au. Composite intervals which
returned gold results ≥0.5ppm gold were reanalysed via 50g
Fire Assay/Mass Spectrometry for Au to a lower detection limit
of 0.001ppm.
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.).
All drilling was completed via RC Drilling. All holes were
completed in order to intersect the interpreted mineralised
horizons.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
No recording of recoveries was undertaken.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Drill cyclone and sample hoses are cleaned when required
during each drill hole and after each hole to minimise down
hole and/or cross contamination.
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.
No relationship has been identified to date.
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.
The use of scoop sampled RC drilling results is not
appropriate for a mineral resource estimate and is considered
a qualitative sampling technique.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core
(or costean, channel, etc.) photography.
Logging of drill chips recorded lithology, weathering, veining,
mineralisation, and other features of the drill samples. A chip
sample reference of each drilled metre was collected for each
hole.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections
logged.
All drill holes were logged in full from start to end of hole.
Sub-
sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all
core taken.
No core.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and
whether sampled wet or dry.
The drilling comprised dry samples which were scoop sampled
over 4 consecutive metres.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness
of the sample preparation technique.
The sample preparation of the chip samples follows industry
best practice in sample preparation involving oven drying,
crushing and pulverising of the total sample (total prep) so that
a minimum of 90% of pulverized material is less than 75µm
grind size.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling
stages to maximise representivity of samples.
The

pulverized prior to subsampling for digesting.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.
Given the qualitative nature of the composite sampling
technique, the sample sizes are considered appropriate to
give an indication of degree and extent of anomalism.
Quality of
assay data
and
laboratory
tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and
laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
The aqua regia digest is considered a near total digest for gold
and is considered appropriate considering the nature of
sample collected. Fire Assay/Mass Spectrometry is a total
digest for Au.
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.
None used
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards,
blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether
acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision
have been established.
The laboratories conducted selected repeat analysis on
samples returning >0.5 ppm Au and conducted random, (1 in
25 equivalent), check analysis and regular blank and
mineralized standard analyses throughout. From these results
it has been determined that an acceptable level of accuracy
andprecision has been achieved.
Verification
of sampling
and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
None undertaken.
The use of twinned holes.
None undertaken.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
Field and laboratory data have been collected electronically.
The electronic data has been validated visually and
automatically using Micromine software.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
None undertaken.
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.
The location of drill hole collars was determined by handheld
GPS prior to drilling which is expected to have an accuracy of
+/- 5m. All hole collars will be located with DGPS in the near
future.
Specification of thegrid system used.
The coordinate system in use was GDA1994 MGA Zone 51.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
A nominal RL of 340m has been used for the drilling.
Data
spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
The majority of drilling ensured drill coverage of 20m to 50m
line spacing between current and/or previous drilling.
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
estimationprocedure(s) and classifications applied.
At this stage no mineral resource or reserve estimates have
been undertaken which are JORC 2012 compliant. Composite
results are not able to be used in resource estimations.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Initial four metre composites were collected from the drill
samples in the field. Composite intervals which returned gold
results ≥0.5ppmgold will be resampled at one metre intervals.
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,consideringthe deposit type.
The completed drilling was undertaken roughly perpendicular
to the strike direction of the geology and related
mineralisation.
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.
No orientation based sampling bias has been identified in the
data
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.
All composite samples were stored securely within Kambalda
after sampling and transported to Minanalyitical Laboratory
Services,in Perth on a weeklybasis for analysis.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques
and data.
No audits or reviews have been undertaken.

Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding of
the exploration results including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:
easting and northing of the drill hole collar
elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea
level in metres) of the drill hole collar
dip and azimuth of the hole
down hole length and interception depth
hole length.
Drill hole locations are included as a full list of hole collar
details as Table 2 and depicted on Figure 2.
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.
No information has been excluded
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.
When reporting exploration results, the Au and Au1 results
for each sample are averaged and all intercepts >1.0ppm Au
are reported. When consecutive down hole samples returned
>1.0ppm, the average gold values for each relevant interval
is used to obtain an intercept average. Fire assay results
were used in intercept calculations.
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.
Where aggregate results are biased by one or more higher
grade single composite results, these composite results are
detailed.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalents reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting
of Exploration Results.
From the preliminary drilling completed to date, the
mineralisation at Trapdoor and Hilditch Gold is interpreted to
be sub-vertical, which would result in the down hole intercept
being approximately twice the true width of the mineralisation.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill
hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
Interpretations to date, at Trapdoor and Hilditch Gold, have
resulted in the identification of steeply dipping, south-
southeast mineralised zones.
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’).
The reported intercepts are down hole lengths only as the
precise true width is not known. Further drill information is
required to increase confidence in the current interpretation,
prior to reportingtrue widths.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations See Figures 1-2.
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.
Balanced
reporting
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.
Comprehensive reporting of exploration results has been
undertaken.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
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.
No other exploration data is available.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for
lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).
Planned further work at Trapdoor will be in the form of RC
drilling to evaluate extensions to reported significant results
and mineralised trends.
