QUARTERLY REPORT MARCH 2015
Antofagasta Earn-In (E45/2658 and E45/2805)
Summary
In April 2013, Encounter completed an earn-in agreement with a wholly owned subsidiary of Antofagasta plc, one of the world’s largest copper producers, whereby it may earn a 51% interest in two tenements within the Yeneena project by incurring expenditures of US$20 million over a five year period.
A review of the Nifty copper sulphide deposit, located 65km to the north, has identified siderite (Fe carbonate) and apatite (phosphorous mineral) in association with trace copper sulphide mineralisation as the diagnostic halo that extends laterally from the Nifty sulphide deposit (see Figure 2). This provides a template of key mineralisation vectors to high grade copper mineralisation in the Paterson Province. An evaluation of the drill data from the Yeneena copper prospects has highlighted that a number of the key features of the Nifty alteration signature are evident within the BM1 – BM7 area.

BM7 Prospect
A total 11 diamond drill holes have been completed at BM7 since the commencement of the Antofagasta funded program in April 2013. These holes provide a broad spaced, 3D dataset over an area that extends over 3km of strike. The final hole drilled at BM7 in 2014, EPT 2158, recorded one of the thickest copper sulphide mineralised intervals to date at 140m @ 0.2% Cu, which included narrow bands of higher grade mineralisation up to 9%Cu. (refer ENR Quarterly Report Sept 2014)
Encounter believes the intersection in EPT 2158 forms part of a halo to a potential large scale copper sulphide system. Reviewing all lithogeochemical data from BM7 has defined a strong alteration vector in the data highlighting the area to the north east of this hole as a high quality target for drill testing (Figure 3). The defined drill target area contains a NW trending structure that is interpreted to represent a possible steep feeder to the BM7 copper mineralisation.

The 2015 drill campaign intends to target the area to the east and north of EPT2158 testing for a flat lying body of high grade copper mineralisation, adjacent to the interpreted NW trending structure. An approximate outline of a cross section through a Nifty sized copper deposit (+1mt Cu) has been projected onto section to illustrate the conceptual target at BM7 (see Figure 4).
Drilling of the BM7 target will commence at the end of the week.

QUARTERLY REPORT MARCH 2015
BM7 East Prospect
The BM7 East Prospect was identified in 2013 during wide-spaced aircore drilling east of the BM7 prospect. An RC drill program over BM7 East was completed in September 2014 with results reported in the previous quarterly report.
Fe-Mg carbonate (siderite) and phosphorus alteration haloes (apatite), which have been shown to be proximal alteration signatures to the Nifty hypogene high grade mineralisation, are found in high concentrations at BM7 East. The alteration haloes underlie the core of a laterally extensive copper oxide blanket found at BM7 East that extends over 2km in strike (see Figure 5).
Drilling at depth at BM7 East will identify the extent of the alteration halos and potentially provide vectors to high grade hypogene copper mineralisation.

The alteration and mineralisation intersected in the shallow drilling completed at BM7 East is similar to what is seen in the immediate hangingwall of the Nifty copper deposit.

QUARTERLY REPORT MARCH 2015
Millennium Prospect
Summary
During the quarter Encounter signed an Earn-In and joint venture agreement with Hampton.
Key terms of the earn-in and joint venture agreement include:
-
Hampton must spend a minimum of $500,000 on exploration before withdrawal. Upon meeting this minimum commitment, Hampton will acquire a 10% interest in Millennium (“ Initial Earn-in Phase ”). At that point, Hampton (10%) and Encounter (90%) will form a joint venture.
-
To preserve its initial 10% interest and maintain the right to earn a further 15% interest, Hampton may then elect to sole fund an additional $500,000 (“ Second Earn-in Phase ”). At completion, Hampton will have contributed $1,000,000 and retained its 10% interest in Millennium. The timing of this additional expenditure will be determined by Encounter.
-
Hampton may then elect to contribute a further $1,000,000 out of the next $2,000,000 of exploration expenditure to earn a further 15% interest in Millennium (“ Additional Earn-in Phase ”). The timing of this expenditure will be determined by Encounter.
-
At that point, after contribution of a total of $2,000,000 of exploration expenditure, Hampton would hold a 25% and Encounter would hold a 75% interest in the joint venture.
-
Industry standard expenditure contribution or dilution formulas would apply. If a party’s interest is diluted to less than 10%, that interest would convert to a 1% Net Profit Royalty.
-
Encounter will be the Operator
-
If, after the Initial Earn-in Phase, Hampton elects to maintain its 10% interest, but forfeit their right to further earn-in, then at that point, Hampton will issue 5% of the issued capital of Hampton to Encounter.
-
If, after the Initial Earn in Phase, Hampton elects to proceed with the Second Earn-in Phase, then at that point, Hampton will issue 15% of the issued capital of Hampton to Encounter. If this election is made then Encounter will have the right to appoint a member to the board of Hampton.
-
The earn-in and joint venture agreement is conditional upon Encounter obtaining all necessary consents and approvals to the grant of the earn-in rights to Hampton.
Millennium is situated at a key structural intersection on the regionally significant Tabletop Fault on the margin of an interpreted sedimentary sub-basin. Encounter completed a program of shallow RC drilling across Millennium in September 2014 that confirmed extensive low grade zinc-lead sulphide mineralisation at the target with many holes ending in mineralisation (see ASX announcement 15 October 2014). The September 2014 RC drill program was the first drilling completed at Millennium.
Subsequently, four diamond holes (EPT2194, EPT2195, EPT2196 and EPT2198) were completed in November 2014 to test for mineralisation at depth and along key geological contacts. These holes were drilled on a single north-south section across the target (see Figures 8 and 9). The hole collars extend across 750m of the drill section. All four holes intersected visible zinc sulphide mineralisation in the form of sphalerite.
During the quarter, Encounter engaged Professor Ross Large from the University of Tasmania to review the geological and geochemical information from Millennium. Ross has published over 120 scientific papers and is internationally recognised for his research on the genesis of ore deposits in sedimentary and volcanic terrains, including Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulfides (VHMS), Statiform and Sediment Hosted Orogenic Gold Deposits (SHOGS).
A number of papers published by Prof. Large on Sediment-Hosted Zn-Pb-Ag (SEDEX) deposits detail the nature and style of the alteration haloes that surround these deposits. It has been through the study of these deposits that Prof. Large has generated a series of alteration indices that can be used when interrogating geochemical datasets to assist in vectoring into a SEDEX zinc ore position. A schematic diagram outlining the primary alteration haloes around SEDEX deposits is shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6: Cross section illustrating the halo around a typical SEDEX Zinc deposit
Prof. Large’s review of the Millennium data also focused on the assessment of the geology of the area and the nature of mineralisation intersected to date. The work had highlighted a number of area of interest and where addition data collection is required. In summary, Prof. Large’s assessment supports Encounter’s belief that Millennium forms part of a large scale zinc sulphide mineralised system and represents “an excellent SEDEX target”.

Figure 8: Millennium – Diamond drilling status plan over residual gravity
Diamond drilling at Millennium has identified two distinct styles of zinc sulphide mineralisation, ‘contact related’ (Target 1) and ‘shale hosted’ (Target 2). The presence of multiple styles of zinc mineralisation and the large mineralisation footprint indicates a significant zinc mineralising event at Millennium.

QUARTERLY REPORT MARCH 2015
Target 1 - Contact Related Zinc Mineralisation
High grade zinc mineralisation adjacent to the carbonate – shale contact was intersected in EPT2198. Mineralisation occurs at this key contact and some 50m inboard (see Figure 9).
The zinc mineralisation intersected is high tenor, sphalerite dominant mineralisation that is typically brown to pale cream coloured and contains only traces of lead (refer ASX release 12 January 2015).
Intersections from the contact related mineralisation include;
-
7m* @ 4.76% Zn from 233m including 1.4m @ 10% Zn from 234.55m and
-
1.7m @ 2.45% Zn from 294.5m in EPT2198
-
27.8m @ 0.53% Zn from 155.2m in EPT2196
*Interval contains a 1.9m of void / cavity. The average grade of sampled material from the entire interval has been assigned to the void in calculating the reported interval.
The mineralisation adjacent to the carbonate – shale contact is strengthening with depth and remains open at depth and along strike. This key mineralised contact was also intersected at the BM2 prospect located 3km north-west of Millennium. Diamond drilling at BM2 intersected high grade zinc mineralisation adjacent to the carbonate - shale contact in EPT1854 that returned 0.7m @ 36.5% Zn (see ASX announcement 13 December 2013)
Target 2 – Shale hosted Zinc-Lead Mineralisation
Broad zones of shale-hosted disseminated zinc-lead sulphide mineralisation were intersected in the three southern diamond holes EPT2194, EPT2195 and at depth in EPT2196 (see Figure 9).
Intersections from these holes include;
-
45.8m @ 0.38% Zn and 0.10% Pb from 123.2m;
-
9.8m @ 0.54% Zn and 0.15% Pb from 176.2m; and
-
24m @ 0.49% Zn and 0.16% Pb from 195m in EPT2194
-
13.2m @ 0.37% Zn and 0.08% Pb from 274m; and
-
18.95m @ 0.72% Zn and 0.24% Pb from 325.85m in EPT2195
-
21.7m @ 0.45% Zn and 0.14% Pb from 449m; and
-
31.2m @ 0.24% Zn and 0.06% Pb from 475.7m in EPT 2196
This mineralisation is interpreted to represent the halo to a potential SEDEX style zinc deposit. It is common for this style of deposit to have a large scale, low grade halo that can extend laterally from a high grade deposit. Modeling of the ground gravity data collected over the BM2 / Millennium area has highlighted a significant 0.5mgal density anomaly to the south of the mineralised halo. The gravity feature, labeled ‘Model Body 1’ on Figure 8, has been modeled to be 80m thick and commencing from a depth of approximately 140m to 200m from surface. The anomaly extends over an area 800m by 550m and has been untested by previous drilling.
Diamond drilling at Millennium will commence in May 2015. The targets to be tested include down dip and along strike of EPT2198 (Target 1) as well as the large modeled gravity anomaly to the south of the Millennium diamond drilling (Target 2). In addition, diamond drilling will also be completed along strike of the high grade zinc mineralisation adjacent to the carbonate - shale contact in EPT1854 that returned 0.7m @ 36.5% Zn (see ASX announcement 13 December 2013)

Lookout Rocks / Throssel Range Project (E45/3768, E45/4091, E45/4408 and E45/4230 – 100% Encounter)
The Lookout Rocks / Throssel Range projects extends over an area of 30km of strike to the north west of the 100% Fishhook prospect. Interpretation of the detailed airborne electromagnetic data indicates the prospective structures and Broadhurst lithologies extend over the entire length of the project in an area that contains very little previous exploration data.

Figure 10: Lookout Rock / Throssell Range Project – Geological and structural interpretation with leasing
During the quarter Exploration Licence E45/4408 was granted. This tenement is located within the Throssell Range project and covers an area of Broadhurst sediments on the eastern margin of the outcropping Coolbro sandstone.
Encounter has been successful in an EIS (Exploration Incentive Scheme) co-funded drilling grant of up to $150,000 to fund exploration in this virtually unexplored region. The program includes both aircore, RC and diamond drilling and will be completed as part of the 2015 drilling campaign.
Fishhook Prospect (E45/2657 – 100% Encounter)
The Fishhook prospect is located directly north of the Antofagasta Earn-In tenements and hosts the recently discovered Moby Dick and Orca copper prospects.
During the quarter the company completed a review of the 2014 EIS co-funded diamond drill holes including a physical re-assessment of the core and a thorough interrogation of the geochemical drill hole data. The review highlighted the area has undergone extensive hydrothermal alteration with the copper sulphide mineralisation generally related to more veined and structurally deformed sections of the core.
It is apparent from the early Fishhook drilling that this area contains many of the geological features typically present within an environment that hosts sedimentary copper deposits. The key task for the coming quarter is to identify structural and geological targets within the broader Fishhook region where the mineralizing fluids may have been focused. These areas of fluid focus are the most likely
