ASX Announcement 28 April 2021
Major Copper Opportunities Emerging in the NT
-
Encounter now controls eight large projects covering ~21,000km[2] in the Northern Territory (“NT”) targeted for sedimentary-hosted and IOCG style copper deposits.
-
Projects are primarily located in the highly prospective but vastly underexplored Greater McArthur Superbasin located between the major copper-gold producing districts of Mt Isa and Tennant Creek.
-
Interpretation and interrogation of new government datasets (Geoscience Australia “GA”, Northern Territory Geological Survey, “NTGS”) and systematic pXRF analysis of historical drilling has resulted in exciting recent developments including:
-
Jessica – Aircore/auger drill program scheduled for June 2021 to determine the lateral extent of the near surface high grade copper mineralisation identified in water bore cuttings;
-
Sandover – Copper anomalism identified by handheld XRF analysis in multiple water bore cuttings and consequently the project area has been significantly expanded;
-
Carrara – Copper and zinc sulphide mineralisation observed in the NDI Carrara1 stratigraphic diamond drill hole completed in the National Drilling Initiative (“NDI”) (Photo 2);
-
The Oval – New project covering an interpreted domal structure located on the western margin of the standout 50km long copper in groundwater anomaly adjacent to the Elliott Copper Project; and
-
The Edge – New project on the eastern margin of the Beetaloo Basin secured following interpretation of the Geoscience Australia seismic line released in March 2021.
-
Encounter’s NT copper portfolio has attracted the attention of a number of major companies. The Company will continue to consider opportunities to advance projects through the next phase alone or in conjunction with an earn-in partner.
-
BHP (ASX:BHP) and Encounter are parties to an Option Agreement that provides BHP with the right to enter an earn-in and joint venture agreement to earn up to 75% interest in the Elliott Copper Project by spending up to $22 million over 10 years. The BHP election on an earn-in and joint venture agreement is expected in May 2021.
Commenting on the developments in the NT, Encounter Managing Director Will Robinson said:
“With each energy transition comes a need for new materials and the current standout beneficiary is copper. The Proterozoic basins of the NT exhibit the key ingredients for the formation of major sediment hosted copper deposits. A transformational investment in pre-competitive data by Geoscience Australia and the Northern Territory Geological Survey continues to shine a light on the copper potential of this region. Our strategy to use these datasets to move quickly and build a commanding position in this exciting new province is becoming increasingly more valuable.
This year we have seen copper sulphides intersected in multiple Geoscience Australia funded stratigraphic holes, copper oxide mineralisation identified in historical water bore cuttings and new copper oxide occurrences mapped at surface. It is remarkable how many of the datasets collected in recent times support the potential for copper in the NT.”

The directors of Encounter Resources Ltd (“Encounter”) are pleased to provide an update on exploration activities in the Northern Territory.
Background
Utilising new government datasets (GA, NTGS) Encounter moved early and aggressively to secure a leading copper project portfolio that currently covers ~21,000km[2] .
Encounter now controls eight large projects in the Northern Territory targeted for major sedimentaryhosted and IOCG style copper deposits. The projects are primarily located in the highly prospective but vastly underexplored Greater McArthur Superbasin and located between the major copper-gold producing districts of Mt Isa and Tennant Creek

Elliott Copper Project (“Elliott”) – EL32156, EL32157, EL32158, EL32159, ELA32226, ELA32329 and ELA32437 – BHP Option
Elliott comprises seven tenements covering more than 4,500km[2] . The project is located 200km north of Tennant Creek directly to the east of the Stuart Highway.
Elliott is located at a major structural intersection on the southern margin of the Beetaloo Basin. The Beetaloo Basin is part of the Greater McArthur Superbasin that hosts the giant sediment hosted base metal deposit at McArthur River. The project encompasses key conceptual criteria for the formation of sedimentary copper and the target sequence is undercover and untested.
GA and NTGS datasets released in 2019 and 2020 have supported the conceptual and structural targeting model at Elliott. The standout copper in groundwater anomaly (order of magnitude above background) in the extensive GA sampling program is located at Elliott.
In September 2020, Encounter entered into an Option Agreement with BHP in relation to Elliott (refer ASX announcement 24 September 2020). The Option Agreement provides BHP with the right to enter an earn-in and joint venture agreement to earn up to 75% interest the project by spending up to $22 million over 10 years. A program of compilation, interpretation and modelling of the data packages at Elliott was completed in January 2021. The BHP election on an earn-in and joint venture agreement is expected in May 2021.
Jessica Copper Project (“Jessica”) – EL32273, ELA32317, ELA32338, ELA32339, ELA32386, ELA32387 and ELA32388 – 100% ENR
Jessica covers ~5,500km[2] along key structural corridors east of Tennant Creek and is prospective for sediment-hosted copper and IOCG style deposits. Access to the project is via the sealed Tablelands Highway that traverses the western side of Jessica.
Systematic assessment of drill chips from water bores at Jessica has been conducted by Encounter and a previous explorer utilising handheld XRF machines. Areas of copper anomalism were selected for chemical analysis and for the sample interval 0-3m in RN28419 (No. 39 water bore) which returned 1.5% copper (refer ASX release 19 August 2020). Visual inspection of this interval by Encounter confirmed the presence of abundant copper carbonate in the form of malachite (Photo 1).
The first tenement at Jessica, which covers the RN28419 (No. 39 water bore), was granted in August 2020. Preparations are progressing for an aircore/auger drill program, scheduled to commence in June 2021, to confirm the copper mineralisation identified in the water bore cuttings and determine the lateral extent of the near surface copper mineralisation.
In addtion , Encounter is planning to complete infill gravity surveys over a series of high priority magnetic targets at Jessica in conjunction with an extensive regional gravity survey being completed by the NTGS in the coming months.

Carrara Copper/Zinc Project (“Carrara”) – ELA32476, ELA32477 and ELA32701 – 100% ENR
Carrara was secured following the release of the South Nicholson Seismic Survey, a foundational dataset acquired as part of the GA Exploring for the Future Program. A key finding of this study is the correlation of prospective stratigraphic units from the Isa Superbasin into the Carrara Sub-basin that extend the Mount Isa Province to the west. Carrara is located at an interpreted structural offset of the western margin of the Carrara Sub-basin where the prospective Isa Superbasin has been modelled closer to surface.
Late in 2020 a 1,751m deep stratigraphic hole (NDI Carrara-1) was completed as part of the National Drilling Initiative funded by the Minex CRC. This hole was designed to validate the interpretation of the South Nicholson Seismic Survey. This drill hole was located on a small exploration tenement held by the Minex CRC located within Encounter’s large Carrara project.
At the AGES Geological Conference held in Alice Springs in April 2021, the drill hole data from NDI Carrara1 was released and small sections of drill core were on display. An initial inspection of the drill core and assessment of the portable XRF data has been highly encouraging and informative.
The NDI Carrara1 stratigraphic drill hole supports the interpretation that the geology of the Isa Superbasin extends throughout the Carrara Sub-basin. The presence of copper and zinc sulphide mineralisation (Photo 2) demonstrates that sediment hosted copper and zinc mineralising processes occur within the prospective host unit.
The reprocessing of the GA seismic line that extends through Carrara will be completed to provide greater detail of the geology and structure in the upper 1,000m along the western margin of the sub-basin.
The NTGS will complete an additional gravity survey over Carrara in 2021 to reduce the station spacing to 2km x 2km. Encounter is planning to infill that survey to 1km x 1km over the priority structural targets at Carrara.

Sandover Copper Project (“Sandover”) – ELA32374 and ELA32421 – 100% ENR
Sandover covers an intersection of major structural corridors on the southern margin of the Georgina basin, 200km north of Alice Springs. Historical exploration at Sandover has mapped copper oxides at surface in a stratiform position extending over 20km of strike. During the March 2021 quarter drill cuttings from government drilled water bores were analysed utilising a handheld XRF unit. Copper anomalism was identified in multiple water bore cuttings and consequently the project area has been significantly expanded.
The copper occurrence at Sandover is interpreted to be a leakage anomaly hosted within an uplifted block of the lower red bed sequences to the east of the main basin. Exploration will focus on identifying potential trap sites within the targeted host unit and their intersection with the basin margin faults.
Brunchilly Copper/Zinc Project (“Brunchilly”) – ELA32478 – 100% ENR
Brunchilly contains a zinc in groundwater anomaly (top 1% of results) in the GA sampling program and is located on a major north-east trending regional structure north of Tennant Creek. This anomalous sample is supported by elevated anomalism in pathfinder elements.
The tenement is expected to be granted later in 2021 with first field activities planned for 2022.
Playford Copper Project (“Playford”) – ELA32493 – 100% ENR
Playford is located in a region of copper regolith anomalism identified through handheld XRF analysis of water bore drill chips. The bore is located on the margin of an interpreted felsic intrusion identified in a seismic survey completed by GA in the Exploring for the Future Program.

Reprocessing of the seismic line that extends through Carrara and Playford will be completed in the coming months.
The Oval Copper Project (“The Oval”) – ELA32581 – 100% ENR
The Oval is a new project covering an interpreted domal feature located on the western margin of the standout 50km-long copper in groundwater anomaly located adjacent to Elliott.
The project contains a number of water bores with anomalous copper and an intriguing magnetic feature that may be an uplifted horst block. Deposits in the Central African copper belt are often found adjacent to basement highs as structures associated with these uplifted blocks are often exploited by ore forming fluids during the mineralising event.
Additional handheld XRF geochemistry was collected at The Oval in March 2021. The interpretation and integration of this new data has commenced.

Figure 4 – The Oval Project Location Plan over Magnetics (TMI)
The Edge Copper Project (“The Edge”) – ELA32686 and ELA32687 – 100% ENR
The Edge is also a new project on the south-eastern margin of the Beetaloo Basin secured following interpretation of the GA seismic line released in March 2021.
Initial interpretation of the GA seismic line indicates that prospective Kyalla and Velkerri units model closer to surface on the south eastern margin of the basin. This coincides with the intersection of a regionally significant north-west trending structure and the basin margin. Additional modelling of the seismic traverse is planned.

SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA
| SECTION 1SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA | |
|---|---|
| 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 sounds, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. This announcement includes initial observations from stratigraphic hole NDI Carrara-1 recently released by Geoscience Australia (“GA”). The company advises that NDI Carrara-1 does not fall within company’s tenure but it is located nearby and the results from this hole are considered important when assessing the perspectivity of the company’s tenure. Results presented in this announcement refer to visual logging completed by GA and no assaying of the hole has been completed yet. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used No sampling has been completed to date |
|
| 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 The NDI Carrara 1 hole was RC pre-collared to a depth of 283.9m and then cored to end of hole (1750.85m). No sampling has been reported by GA from the NDI Carrara-1 hole. |

SECTION 2 REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS
| SECTION 2 REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS | |
|---|---|
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation Commentary |
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties including joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The NDI Carrara-1 hole was drilled on EL32366 which is held 100% by MinEx CRC. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. No previous mineral exploration has been completed within the immediate vicinity of the NDI Carrara-1 drill hole. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation The NDI Carrara-1 drill hole was drilled in the interpreted Carrara sub-basin, within the Greater McArthur Superbasin. The vast majority of the area is under cover with minimal geological outcrop. The interpreted geology of the region is generated from the processing of geophysical data. The area surrounding the NDI Carrara-1 hole is being explored for Sediment Hosted base metal mineralisation. |
| Drill hole information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including 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 meters) of the drill hole collar • Dip and azimuth of the hole • Down hole length and interception depth • Hole length Refer to tabulation in the body of this announcement. |
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation Commentary |
| Data aggregation methods Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
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. No sampling of the drill core has been completed to date |
| Where aggregated 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. No sampling of the drill core has been completed to date |
|
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. No sampling of the drill core has been completed to date |
|
| 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’). No sampling of the drill core has been completed to date |
