ASX RELEASE: 24 August 2020

Granite Belt, Queensland Silver Mine Acquistion Update - portfolio includes 20+Moz of contained silver

Highlights

  • § Jadar to acquire Moreton Resources Limited’s (In Liquidation) (ASX:MRV) metals portfolio comprising 5 exploration tenements (EPM’s), 1 mining lease (ML) and in-situ crushing, screening, stacking, treatment and refining facilities, located in the highly prospective Silver Spur Basin of Southern Queensland.

  • § Granite Belt tenement portfolio includes the Granite Belt silver project which contains an estimated total JORC Mineral Resources of 12.1Mt at 53g/t Ag for 20.3 million ounces of contained silver[1] .

  • § The tenement portfolio also includes three (3) copper and silver JORC exploration targets:

  • Hornet prospect – exploration target is in the range of 500,000 to 1,500,000t at 1-2% Copper[2] ;

  • Harrier prospect – exploration target is in the range of 500,000 to 1,500,000t at 1.5% to 2.5% Copper, and 80 g/t to 120 g/t Silver[3] ;

  • Hawker prospect – exploration target is in the range of 100,000 to 500,000t at 1.0-1.5% Copper and 30g/t to 60g/t Silver[4] ;

The potential quantity and grade of the above Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature, as there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

together with ~16 areas of interest on 190km[2] tenure containing indications of high grade silver and copper, with additional indications of zinc, lead and gold (including Hornet, Harrier and Hawker mentioned above) with walk up targets ready for testing with little recent exploration completed.

  • § Transaction subject to Jadar completing satisfactory due diligence, together with necessary consents and approvals.

Jadar Resources Limited (ASX:JDR) (“ Jadar ”, the “ Company ”) is pleased to provide the following update regarding the acquisition of MRV Metals Pty Ltd’s (In Liquidation) (“MRV Metals”) Southern Queensland Granite Belt tenement portfolio, including MRV Metal’s Granite Belt Silver mining operations which is currently on care and maintenance (including all permits, plant and equipment and inventory).

due course. Please refer to the Company’s announcement dated 3 August 2020 for further details regarding the proposed transaction and acquisition terms and conditions.

As part of its due diligence completed to date, Jadar has carried out a review of Morton Resources Limited (in Liquidation) (ASX: MRV) (“Morton Resources”) previously released JORC 2012 Resources and Exploration Targets and provides the following additional information regarding the tenement portofolio and resources subject of the abovementioned transaction.

Granite Belt Tenement Portfolio

Located approximately 3 hours south-west of Brisbane in South East Queensland, the Granite Belt tenement portfolio is comprised of 5 exploration permits and 1 mining lease located approximately 7km east of the town of Texas. Previously owned by MRV Metals (a subsidiary of Moreton Resources) and prior to that Alcyone Resources Ltd and others, work originally commenced on the site in early July 2011, when the former owner commenced silver production[5] .

The project, previously known as Texas Silver, encompasses the Twin Hills Silver Mine, as well as a wider portfolio of advanced silver and polymetallic base metal exploration targets, including amongst others the Mount Gunyan, Hawker, Harrier, and Hornet deposits. Extensive historical drill data and associated information derived from past exploration programs within the Granite Belt Project have delivered significant Silver prospects and is of potential for Copper, Zinc and Lead deposits. However, due to ongoing focus of the startup of mining operations by the previous owners, the majority of the prospects identified over the years have had only minimal exploration completed.

Through this potential acquisition, Jadar is also acquiring an extensive historical drill data and associated analysis data package covering a large and highly prospective project area. This data package will be reviewed, as part of the due diligence and exploration prospects advanced as a matter of priority.

History & Setting

The Texas-Stanthorpe region hosted a number of mining operations in the 1890s. The region is dominated by the Texas Beds, a series of sediments and volcanics accumulated in the Carboniferous during continental accretion. Later local rifting in the Texas area in the Permian gave rise to a sub-basin and the accumulation of the Silver Spur Beds. The Silver Spur Beds are highly mineralised compared to the surrounding Texas Beds (Halloran, 2015) and displayed in blue in Figure 1 compared to the Texas Beds in grey.

Styles of mineralisation in the area include both epithermal/meso-thermal Ag-Au and sedimentary related base metals with volcanic affinity. The Silver Spur Basin trends NW which can influence stratigraphy and structure. Fracturing is generally vertical and also often north-south. The low-sulphidation epithermal mineralisation is associated with potasic alteration providing a useful exploration signature. The Silver Spur Beds display an unusually high Ag-Au ratio for epithermal mineralisation resulting in silver dominated deposits.

Significant exploration in the area commenced in 1994 with Macmin Ltd undertaking exploration and resource definition drilling predominantly at the Twin Hills and Mt Gunyan (3 km to the northeast) with some minor drilling at the historic Silver Spur Mine (2 km to the southeast). These led to the definition of Mineral

Resources at Twin Hills and Mt Gunyan. Macmin obtained a Mining Lease for Twin Hills and developed a heap leach operation from 2000 and commenced production in 2008 to 2009. The operation was re-commissioned by Alcyone in 2011 and production continued until early 2014 when operations ceased due to funding and production issues. The operation was then restarted by Moreton Resources from 2016 until early late 2019 until operations ceased due to funding and production issues.

The region has hosted a number of mining operations in the 1890’s with the most significant being the Silver Spur mine which produced 100 kt at 800 g/t Ag, 25% Zn and 13% Pb (see Alcyone announcement 18/10/2012, reported under JORC 2004) and the Twin Hills silver mine that produced 1.4Moz recoverable silver from 2008 to 2014. In quarterly report ending 31 December 2019, Moreton Resources Ltd reported that it had produced 13,177 troy ounces of silver, with half-year sales totalling 32,582 troy ounces.[6]

Granite Belt Silver Project JORC Resources

The Granite Belt Project area consists of a mining precinct which contains multiple potential resources covering a range of metals from Copper, Silver, Lead, Zinc and Gold, and a central processing facility that currently has in-situ crushing, screening, stacking, treatment and refining facilities. The status of these facilities will be determined from the planned due diligence.

Past exploration within the Granite Belt Project has historically been successful in defining a 2012 JORC Mineral Resource Estimate of silver mineralisation at the Twin Hills Deposit, and silver/gold mineralisation at

The Granite Belt Silver Project is an open-cut poly-metalliferous mining and processing operation located ~10km east along the Stanthorpe-Texas Road from the township of Texas in Southern Queensland. Geologically the Granite Belt Project occurs in the northern part of the New England Orogeny which consists of a highly deformed package of Ordovician to Permian sediments and volcanics. Deformation within the fold belt is complex and ranges in age from Lower Carboniferous to Middle Permian in age.

Before its closure in 2014, the Twin Hills Mine was an operating and producing mine, which as per the prior operators aspirations, sought to produce 1.1 Moz of Silver. Post its acquisition in 2016, MRV Metals commenced heap leach silver operations in 2016 until temporarily suspending operations in late 2019 as a consequence of operational difficulties, largely the result of water quality issues leading to a working capital deficiency.

The accuracy of the tonnage depletion is difficult to support but considered appropriate given the information provided by Moreton Resources Ltd and Jadar’s knowledge that little mining occurred in the later stages of the previous owners operation and it is immaterial in volume.

It is understood that the total ore currently stacked ready for irrigationis is approximately 550,000 tonnes. There is a further 1,000,000 tonnes of existing ore that is planned to be restacked, and PH corrected to allow for further leaching operations.[7]

Since acquiring the project in 2016, Moreton Resources had carried out a significant amount of work developing the project in accordance with its “2017 re-start strategy”[8] . Jadar is currently continuing its due

Granite Belt Silver Mineral Resource Estimate – Summary of Material Information

Geology and Mineralisation

The Grantite Belt Project area occurs in the northern part of the New England Orogeny which consists of a highly deformed package of Ordovician to Permian sediments and volcanics. Deformation within the fold belt is complex and ranges in age from Lower Carboniferous to Middle Permian in age.

The lithologies associated with the Twin Hills deposit and Mt Gunyan are referred to as the Silver Spur beds (Pearson 1976); this sequence is divided into three units:

Unit 1: Conglomerates and breccias. Thickness 100m.

Unit 2: Tuffaceous sandstones, mudstones and carbonaceous shales. Thickness 350-600 m. Unit 3: Basal conglomerates. Thickness 50-100m.

Geological Interpretation

Pervasive silicification is common throughout the deposit and undoubtedly responsible for the preservation of the topographic high. The hydrothermal fluids associated with the alteration are rich in metals in particular silver and together with quartz (in some cases) are deposited/infused in epithermal environments. The silver mineralisation occurs mostly as fine-grained argentite and polybasite and can be associated with pyrite and other sulphides. Structurally it seems that the mineralisation is likely localised along faults and within shear zones. Regionally the Silver Spur beds describe a broad syncline, but in the immediate Twin Hills deposit the bedding varies in dip from sub-vertical to 60-70 degrees to the east. NW-SE faults dominate the structural pattern with North/South trending variable shear systems seen in the current pit. The eastern part of the deposit has well-developed mineralisation associated with North-South shear/fault systems which appears to be the favourable fluid pathways. At Twin Hills resources occurs over a 700-metre strike length with widths varying between 20 metres and 200 metres and with model constrained depth of around 200 metres vertically. The silver anomaly is much longer being over 1,000 metres in length, up to 300 metres wide and some 300 metres in vertical depth. The Mt Gunyan deposit consists of steeply to moderately east-dipping roughly north-south trending mineralisation hosted by altered sediments and displaying anomalous silver content. The main mineralisation occurs over a strike length of 650m, depth of 170m to 200m and a width which varies between 20 and 350m.

Sampling and Sub-sampling techniques

Both Twin Hills and Mt Gunyan deposits have been drilled from the surface using diamond coring, reverse circulation and open hole percussion techniques. The core recovery is generally very good, greater than 95% whilst the quantity of material returned by the other two methods is unknown. The diamond drilling and sample collection techniques consist of returned core stored in core boxes labelled with the hole number and length contained. The core is transported to the core storage area where it is logged geologically, and intervals for analysis are marked up by the site geologist. The intervals selected for analysis had the core either quartered (pre Alcyone) or halved (Alcyone) at the site to be sent for preparation and analysis. Standards and blanks were included in Alcyone programs only. Reverse Circulation holes had collected samples at every 1m from the cyclone. Two adjacent samples were combined, and riffle split to approximately 3Kg. These sub-samples were stored in numbered calico bags. The open hole percussion samples were also collected at 1m downhole intervals from the cyclone into large numbered plastic bags from which sub-sample was selected by spearing and combined with the adjacent sample into 2m composites.

Drilling method

Open hole percussion, reverse circulation percussion and HQ and NQ diamond coring have been employed at both Twin Hills and Mt Gunyan.

The total drilled metres at Twin Hills is 37,108 metres. 533 out of 658 exploration holes were open-hole percussion using a downhole hammer, 96 reverse circulation holes and 29 diamond holes. Approximately 650 drill holes totalling 35,782.2m were used for resources estimation.

The total drilled metres at Mt Gunyan is 21,575 from 306 holes within the immediate vicinity of the deposit. A subset of 296 holes totalling 20,900m was selected as appropriate for resource estimation. Within this

subset, 38 holes were diamond drilling with variable orientation, 39 were RC holes mostly oriented to the west, and 219 were PC holes primarily vertical.

Sample analyses methods

The chip and core samples were dispatched via commercial transport services from Texas to either Analabs or ALS Chemex both located in Brisbane.

Prior to Alcyone Limited’s work, the samples were analysed using GA201 AnaLabs method, an aqua regia digest with AAS finish for Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn which had detection limits of 2 ppm, 4 ppm, 5 ppm and 4 ppm respectively. Method GG309 was used for Au analysis with a detection limit 0.008ppm.

Beside AnaLabs pre-Alcyone work samples were analysed at ALS Chemex using PM203 and IC203 methods for gold and silver respectively. The methods used aqua regia digestion followed by AAS measurement with detection limits for Au of 0.02 ppm and for Ag of 0.2 ppm. All the samples with Ag values greater than 20 g/t were resubmitted and analysed using method A101, an aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES finish.

Alcyone Resources prepared and analysed at ALS Chemex in Brisbane. The samples were analysed using MEICP41 method a conventional ICP-AES Analysis after aqua regia digest. This is a tool for first pass exploration geochemistry, and an aqua regia leach should be considered as representing only the leachable portion of the particular analyte. The samples with over 40ppm Ag were analysed using AlS´s ME-OG46 ore grade method - Aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES or AAS finish. Prior to Alcyone Limited’s work QAQC (blanks) were not used and instead of standard sample duplication for the reverse circulation and open hole percussion drilling employed. Only Alcyone Limited instigated the use of standards and blanks which were included with the samples at a rate of approximately 1 in 20 with the samples submitted for analysis.

Mineral Resource Estimates

The interpretation of Twinn Hills and Mt Gunyan was carried out using a systematic approach to ensure continuity Mand estimated mineral Resources using Vulcan software.

For Twin Hills deposit the large size of the domains and the large number of included composites plus the availability of a continuity model supported the use of ordinary kriging techniques by Alcyone Limited. The composites were created within each domain and input to the grade estimation was restricted to those composites which were within the domain being estimated. Top cuts were applied to the composites based on statistical analysis. Estimated blocks were formed in a three-step methodology with orientation set to the orientation of the domain being estimated. The initial (primary search) was 30 metres x 15 metres x 10 metres in strike, dip and across the dip – strike plane. This search range was expanded by double the length for blocks not informed in the primary search and again in the final search strategy. This strategy informed on average, 70% of the blocks in the primary and secondary search. Comparison of the estimate in global terms to production figures was generally considered fair by Alcyone Limited with some indications however that the exploration model was slightly overstating in tonnes and grade above cut-off compared to the blast hole defined grade control information. The silver mineralisation contained within the resource contains gold which is estimated within the model. The block model was constructed using blocks of 5mE x 20mN x 5m RL. Sub-celling to half the block size in each direction was adopted to ensure accurate volume representation. Grade estimation was to the parent block size. The block size was a compromise given the variation in drill spacing with the position in the resources. Hard boundaries were applied to the Domains. The grade was

estimated within these boundaries. Statistical analysis of the silver indicated that it was fairly normally distributed according to the coefficients of variation; thus, only the extreme outliers were controlled by top cutting. For gold, the populations were positively skewed and thus to minimise the influence of higher grade composites, their influence was restricted to the primary search distances. Volume validation was carried out by comparison of the solids representing the mineralisation to the block model. Grade validation was carried by both global comparison of the average estimated grade to the average input grade and spatially by comparison of the estimated grades to the input grades by position. Alcyone Limited reported that visual comparison was also used. Comparison to production information was fairly supportive of the model.

For Mt Gunyan the modest size of most zones/domains and the subsequent number of included composites plus the good statistical composite behaviour supported the use of inverse distance to the power of 2 as the estimation technique. The composites were created within each zone/domain and input to the grade estimation was restricted to those composites which were within the zone/domain being estimated. Top cuts were applied to the composites based on statistical analysis. Estimated blocks were informed a three step strategy with orientation set to the orientation of the zone/domain being estimated. The initial (primary) search was 35m x 25m x 5m in strike, dip and across the dip-strike plane. This search range was expanded by double the length for blocks not informed in the primary search and again in the final search strategy. This strategy informed on average, 78% of the blocks in the primary and secondary search. For gold inverse distance to the power of 3 was used with domaining and topcutting strategies applied to the composites. Comparison of the estimate in global terms to the previous model is generally within expectations. The silver “ore” contains gold which is estimated within the model. No assessment of deleterious elements has been made, it is noted that the “ore” contains some base metals which could interfere with the recovery process. The block model was constructed using blocks which were 5mE x 20mN x 5mRL. Sub-celling to 1/2 the block size in each direction was adopted to ensure accurate volume representation. Statistical analysis of the silver indicated that it was fairly normally distributed according to the coefficients of variation; thus only the extreme outliers were controlled by top-cutting. For gold, the populations were positively skewed and thus to minimise the influence of higher-grade composites they were top-cut, and their influence was restricted to the primary search distances. Volume validation was carried out by comparison of the solids representing the mineralisation to the block model. Grade validation was carried by both global comparison of the average estimated grade to the average input grade and spatially by comparison of the estimated grades to the input grades by position. Also, visual comparison was used.

Classification

The resource classification is primarily based on the geological and grade continuity, although some crosschecking was carried out with mining data. Measured, Indicated, and Inferred categories have been assigned to the mineral resource estimate.

For Twin Hills, the classifications are based on the quality and amount of input data, the grade continuity model and the physical domaining, which is supported by mining and drilling observation of the mineral system. Shortcomings in QAQC have been offset by the amount of drilling data and the apparent lack of bias between sample types. Higher confidence areas have more supporting data and mining history; areas of lower geological support reflect a lower classification. The input data, particularly in the more recent data, is consistent and closely spaced enough to support the projection of the geological interpretation at depth. Later drilling programmes have successfully in-filled earlier programmes in mineralised locations predicted by the initial programme. The estimated grade correlates reasonably well with the input data given the nature of the mineralisation.

Similar as for Twin Hills, for Mt Gunyan the classification is based on the quality and amount of input data and the physical domaining which is supported by drilling observation of the mineral system. Shortcomings in QAQC have been offset by the amount of drilling data. Higher confidence areas have more supporting data; areas of lower geological support reflect a lower classification. The input data particularly the more recent, is consistent and closely spaced enough to support the projection of the geological interpretation at depth. Later drilling programs have successfully infilled earlier programs in mineralised locations predicted by the initial program. The estimated grade correlates reasonably well with the input data given the nature of the mineralisation.

Cut-off Grades and other parameters

For Twin Hills, a 40g/t silver boundary appears to define statistically and geologically the margins of the more continuous higher grade mineralisation whilst 20g/t silver provides the extent of the mineralisation. The optimisation process indicated a reporting cut-off of 26.5g/t.

For Mt Gunyan, a 30g/t Ag boundary appears to define statistically, and geologically the margins of the more continuous higher-grade mineralisation whilst 10g/t Ag provides the extent of the mineralisation. Gold zones were defined using a 0.1g/t boundary given there was gold outside the silver zones. An optimisation based on owner operated open pit mining, crushing, stacking and processing (as per Twin Hills) indicated that the economic cut-off could be set at 26.5g/t Ag.

Historically specific gravity has been assigned as a default of 2.64 t/m[3] . This determination was based on specific gravity from the core from holes THD009, 010, 011, 013, 015 and 31 which were weighed in air and then weighed in water. Note the actual measurements cannot be found; however, it is reported in the Twin Hills Feasibility Study that the average density is 2.63 t/m[3] based on approximately 170 samples, readings ranged from 2.26 to 2.77 t/m[3] . Average density varied slightly with depth from the surface as follows:

  • <30m = 2.65

  • 30 to 60m = 2.64, and

  • 60m = 2.65

Alcyone undertook a series of SG tests on the existing core at a commercial laboratory facility to confirm these numbers. In total, 63 samples were taken along the strike of the ore body. From the core for these holes 0.5m long piece (or pieces) of ¼ core were selected every 10m downhole with the first sample should be taken at 5m. The results provided the following average values by weathering position:

  • Oxide – 6 samples, 2.51 t/m[3]

  • Transition – 5 samples, 2.6 t/m[3]

  • Fresh – 52 samples, 2.68 t/m[3]

No specific measurements have been made at Mt Gunyan. The density has been assumed based on results achieved at the nearby Twin Hills Deposit. The assumptions are applied to the model by weathering position. The material is generally fairly uniform as evidenced from the core and the geological setting. Application of weathering position is felt appropriate but direct measurement is required to confirm the defaults.

Copper & Silver JORC Exploration Targets

As referred to in the Compnay’s announcement of 3 August 2020, the MRV Metals tenement portfolio includes a number of silver and copper prospectus, several of which are belived to be polymetallic containing base metals including zinc and lead, which had been identified by previous owners of the tenements.

In July 2016, Morton Resources announced the results of three (3) silver and copper JORC 2012 Exploration Targets, all of which are proximal to the existing Twin Hills and Mr Gunyan operations and resources.

Following the successful completion of the proposed Transaction, the Company will continue to work through the historical exploration data to further evaluate these and other potential targets for follow up work.

In particular, Morton Resources previous exploration works defined three copper and silver JORC exploration targets, referred to as :

  • (a) Hornet prospect;

  • (b) Harrier prospect; and

  • (c) Hawker prospect

Hornet prospect

Hornet is located 1.5 to 2km west of Twin Hills Mine. Hornet was formerly known as the Old Texas Copper Mine and is defined by elevated copper in soil samples, historical mine workings (small collapsed pits and shafts) and ore-grade intersections reported in RAB, RC and diamond drilling over 1.6 km of strike length. Hawker is contained within Exploration Permit for Minerals (EPM) 8854, which is held by MRV Metals .

The Hornet prospect is located within the Western Tectonic Corridor (WTC). The interpretation of the WTC has been reported as a series of NNW-SSE trending shear zones intersected by north-south orientated structures, with the potential for precious and base metals mineralisation to exist along and at the intersections of these features.

Moreton Resources reported an Exploration Target[9] at Hornet in the range 500,000 to 1,500,000 tonnes at 1 to 2% Copper. The potential quantity and grade of the Hornet Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, as there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Previous owner drilling results reported in January of 2012[10] (Alcyone) delivered down-dip extensions of the copper mineralisation that had been previously identified from past exploration. The Hornet mineralised zone exceeds 140m in strike and has been extended 200m down dip, consisting of five interpreted copper shoots, up to 5m in true width. Base metal mineralisation has also been identified in the north-east corner known as ‘Hornet North’. Reported intersections included:

  • HORC001: 38 metres @ 0.68% Cu and 7.2 g/t Ag from 64m including 4 metres @ 2.37% Cu and 27.3 g/t Ag and 1 metre @ 2.59% Cu and 16.2 g/t Ag

  • HORC001: 14 metres @ 0.99% Cu and 8.2 g/t Ag from 110m including 2 metres @ 2.26% Cu and 16.1 g/t Ag and 1 metre @ 5.19% Cu and 36.8 g/t Ag

  • HORC002: 16 metres @ 0.31% Cu and 4.2 g/t Ag from 12m including 4 metres @ 1.06% Cu and 11.9 g/t Ag and 1 metre @ 1.25% Cu and 13.1 g/t Ag

  • HORC005: 2 metres @ 4.3% Cu from 124m within a broader intercept of 6 metres @ 1.75% Cu from 120 metres

  • HORC009: 2 metres @ 4.9% Cu from 154m within a broader intercept of 10 metres @ 1.75% Cu from 154m

Previous exploration and mining activity at Hornet project area

Morton Resources reported that details of past production history are limited; however, it is reported that between 1906 and 1907, 22t of ore grading 22% Copper were produced.

In 1966 Minad reported the occurrence as a ‘line of collapsed shafts surrounded by dumps of limonitic gossan, dark coloured cleaved slate and a slag heap representing some 5,000t of smelted ore. There are no outcrops near the mine but to the north and south there are patches of gossanous siliceous ironstone which presumably mark a line of fracturing and mineralisation.’ Minad noted that to the east of the mine significant amounts of copper, lead and zinc ore minerals were observed on the dumps of two shallow shafts - Egglestons Prospect (Falcon).

==> picture [255 x 171] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 6: Historic workings – Old Texas copper mine

Longreach surveyed a grid over the area in 1970 and carried out geological mapping and geochemical soil sampling. No geochemical anomaly was found to be associated with the mine, although a number of Pb-Zn geochemical anomalies were located to the east of the mine.

In 1970, a Queensland Department of Mines drilling program was carried out on behalf of Tooliambi Mines Pty Ltd. Three diamond holes were drilled to a total depth of 185m to investigate the potential of the lode beneath the old workings and locate parallel lodes. Minor copper mineralisation was found to occur as joint and fissure fillings up to 0.25m in width in a mudstone-siltstone sequence. The drilling did not intersect any significant mineralisation.

Harrier prospect

The Harrier prospect sits some 6-8 km north-west of the Hawker prospect, north of Mt Gunyan and ~ 4km north-east of the Twin Hills mine. Harrier is contained within Exploration Permit for Minerals (EPM) 8854, which is held by MRV Metals.

The prospect is defined by elevated copper, silver, zinc and lead in soil samples, ore-grade intersections reported in RAB and diamond drilling and historical mine workings (small collapsed pits and shafts) over a 500 metre strike length. The mine workings were previously known as the Tuliamba Mine, with historic production of 81 tonnes at 11% Cu and 1,273 g/t silver, mined via exploration shafts from 1920 to 1922 with very limited lateral development along the line of lode.

Recent exploration commenced in 2004 when Macmin Silver Ltd (Macmin)[11] recorded elevated copper and silver in regional RAB drilling conducted along road lines in Arcot State Forest. This was followed up by a programme of diamond drilling which reported several high-grade intersections of polymetallic mineralisation, with the highlight being TUD002 which reported 5m at 6.0% Cu, 3.4% Zn, and 328ppm Ag from 93m.

Moreton Resources reported an Exploration Target[12] at Harrier prospect in the range of 500,000 to 1,500,000t at 1.5% to 2.5% Copper, and 80 g/t to 120 g/t Silver.

The potential quantity and grade of the Harrier Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, as there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. This target is supported by geological modelling based on recent historical drilling completed in 2004 and 2010, consisting of approximately 63 RAB holes and 13 diamond drill holes located on section lines spaced approximately 25 to 50m apart along a strike length of about 350m.

The drilling completed by Macmin was followed up by Alcyone Resources Ltd in 2010[13] , who completed 6 diamond drill holes for 704 m, albeit with disappointing results. However, drill hole ACHRD006 provided an encouraging intercept of 1.5 m at 3.2% Cu, 2.7% Zn, 129g/t Ag and 0.6% Pb from 89.2 m.

Importantly some of the holes drilled by Alcyone show discontinuous sampling intervals downhole and subsequent gaps in downhole assay results which require follow-up. Whilst the gaps in the sampling record are material in progressing exploration at Harrier they have little impact on the Exploration Target as drill testing is at an early stage. The company is, however, in the process of locating the relevant drill core to reconcile the issue and, if warranted, will complete re-logging and re-sampling as a cost-effective way to advance geological understanding in the area.

Geological modelling of the drilling and sampling information as it exists currently, indicate at least one discreet sub-vertical lens of mineralisation. The position is likely structurally controlled and can be targeted by drilling. The prospect has the upside of being potentially contiguous with elevated copper in surface soil samples at the Apache prospect located 600m south (see Figure 8), and mineralisation intersected by historical drilling is open to the north and south extents and at depth.

Hawker prospect

The Hawker prospect is located ~ 15km east of the town of Texas, Southern Queensland and ~6.5km east of the Twin Hills mine. Historically known as Silver Crown, elevated copper and silver values in surface soil samples originally identified the prospect in an area adjacent to remnant old mine workings. Hawker is contained within Exploration Permit for Minerals (EPM) 11455, which is held by MRV Metals.

This prospect was tested by previous owners in 2012[14] by drilling eight (8) RC holes for 558m. Significant drilling results included the following (note intervals reported greater than 0.1% Cu):

  • HWRC001: 1 metre @ 3.4% Cu, 100 g/t Ag from 15m and 2 metres @ 1.5% Cu, 54 g/t Ag from 21m

  • HWRC002: 4 metres @ 0.8% Cu, 22 g/t Ag from 8m (including 1 metre @ 1.41% Cu, 38 g/t Ag and 1 metre @ 1.15% Cu, 36 g/t Ag)

  • HWRC003: 2 metres @ 0.14% Cu, 7.4g/t Ag from 13m and 3 metres @ 0.33% Cu, 9.2 g/t Ag from 19m

Hawker is of potential for copper and silver. Moreton Resources reported an Exploration Target at Harrier prospect in the range of 100,000 to 500,000 tonnes at 1.0 to 1.5% Copper and 30 to 60 g/t Silver . The potential quantity and grade of the Hawker Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, as there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource.

Supporting Work for Exploration Targeting

The following geological exploration scoping work was completed by Morton Resources to support the public report of an Exploration Target for Hornet:

  • Import of drilling and sampling information and surface soil sampling results into Datamine mine planning software from original Micromine format;

  • Thematic mapping of Ag, Cu, Zn and serial section review of drilling data and assay results;

  • Develop conceptual geological models by outlining mineralisation present above threshold values to build wireframe solids around mineralised zones;

  • Gain an indication of the grade of metals present by simple weighted average across sample intervals within the wireframe solid using the polygonal technique;

  • Gain an indicative quantum of tonnages by applying a default dry bulk density of 2.6 to the volume of the wireframe solids.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria
JORC Code ex Figuration
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.

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

Twin Hills:

The deposit has been drilled and sampled by rock chip, open hole (OH) percussion,
reverse circulation (RC) and diamond coring with drill holes sited on variable locations
across and around the resource area. The majority of the drill holes were inclined to
the west as the mineralisation is steeply dipping within a north-south strike trend.

After the initial drilling programmes confirmed near surface mineralisation subsequent
programmes were drilled deeper and infilled to both confirm continuity as well as
provide information down dip and plunge.
Mt Gunyan:
• The deposit has been drilled and sampled by diamond coring, reverse circulation and
percussion methods with holes on variable spacings around the hill.
• The holes are drilled mostly on sections along the NS strike and vary in orientation
from perpendicular to the mostly steeply east dipping mineralisation to more down dip.
• Initial surface drilling identified near surface mineralisation which was supplemented
by deeper drilling to highlight mineralisation for potential underground mining. The
subsequent drill holes mostly in filled and extended the mineralisation coverage down
dip. The deeper holes were mostly surveyed using industry standard methods with
collars and orientation recorded.
• The diamond core was logged for sulphide content, lithology and other geological
features.
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.).
Twin Hills:
• Open hole percussion, reverse circulation percussion and HQ and NQ diamond coring
have been employed.
• The total drilled metres is 37,108 metres. 533 exploration holes have been drilled as
open hole percussion using a down hole hammer, a total of 23,170 metres. Beside
percussion drilling, 96 reverse circulation holes have been drilled totalling 10,366
metres and 29 diamond holes for 3,572 metres have been drilled. 650 drill holes
totalling 35,782.2m were used for resources estimation.
• The diamond drill holes were cored from collar to total depth with depths ranging from
40 metres to 250 metres.
• The diamond core was not orientated.
Criteria
JORC Code ex Figuration
Commentary
•The reverse circulation drill holes ranged in depth from 3 metres to 250 metres and the
open hole percussion holes from 2 metres to 75 metres.
Mt Gunyan:
•The total drilled metres is 21,575 from 306 holes within the immediate vicinity of the
deposit. A subset of 296 holes totalling 20,900m was selected as appropriate for
resource estimation. Within this subset were diamond drilling (38 holes) with variable
orientation, is cored from the collar and with a maximum depth of 223m. The core was
not orientated. The RC holes (39 holes) mostly oriented to the west with a maximum
depth of 162m and the PC holes (219 holes) mostly vertical to a maximum depth of
200m.
•The diamond core was either HQ or NQ size. The mineralised intervals and adjacent
locations were sampled by cutting the core in 1/2 or 1/4 based on the logging. The RC
and PC sample return was collected in 1m intervals and either spear or riffle split to
collect sub-samples which were combined into 2m downhole composites.
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.
Twin Hills:
•The core recovery from the drill logging indicates that it was usually greater than 95%
and this has been confirmed by observation ad re-measurement by various parties
from examination of the core in the core yard.
•No observations or measurements were made regarding the reverse circulation or
open hole percussion drill chip recoveries. The drill cyclone used to capture the
percussion chips was however fully enclosed to reduce dust and loss of fines.
•All of the drill sampling appears to have been carried out competently and to best
industry practice, as consequence there is no evidence to suggest there exists a
relationship between sample recovery and grade.
Mt Gunyan:
•The core recovery recorded in the database indicates it is usually in excess of 95%
which is supported by observation and remeasurement from the core in the yard. There
is nothing recorded concerning the amount and consistency of material recovered from
the RC or PC drilling. The cyclone was fully enclosed to reduce dust and thus loss of
fines.
•Whilst no assessment has been reported the competency of the core would tend to
preclude any potential issue of sampling bias. However there is some evidence that
larger samples may provide more representative samples given the nature of the
mineralisation.

level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative

photography.
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
Twin Hills:
•Geological logging was undertaken to record lithology, mineralisation type (ie
sulphides) and content, style of mineralisation (i.e. veining, disseminated), degree of
weathering, alteration if present and type and structure where discernible. The
geological logging is considered appropriate to the style of mineralisation forming the
mineral resource.
•Both summary and detailed logging was carried out and also included in some cases
angle to core axis and vein type and frequency. The entire length of all drill holes was
geologically logged. No core boxes or chips tray photographs available.
Mt Gunyan:
•Geological recording of lithology, mineralisation, veining, alteration, weathering,
structure is appropriate to the style of the deposit.
•Geological logging is both in summary and detailed for the information listed above
and includes mineralisation type and content, some angle to core axis information
(core only), vein type, incidence and frequency.
•Not all geological logs are recorded in the database but appear on hardcopy logs. No
core boxes or chips tray photographs available.

Twin Hills:
•The drill core was either halved or quartered using a mechanical device. It is not known
if the core was orientated before cutting or if a consistent side was taken.
•The reverse circulation and open hole percussion samples were taken at 1 metre
intervals from the cyclone and either riffle spilt of spear sampled. Two adjacent
samples were combined. The large majority of the samples were dry.
•The sampling techniques were considered appropriate and it is understood that some
test work was undertaken to ensure the reverse circulation and open hole percussion
sampling techniques were representative.
•The use of commercial laboratory (Analabs or ALS Chemex) facilities for the
preparation of samples is industry standard practise and the techniques used
appropriate to the style of mineralisation.
Mt Gunyan:
•The majority is 1/4ed with the Alcyone core 1/2ed pre Alcyone. A mechanical cutting
device was used. It is not known if the core was consistently taken from one side of
the stick.
•The RCand PCsamples were collected at 1m intervals from the cyclone and either

Twin Hills:
•The chip and core samples were dispatched via commercial transport services from
Texas to either AnaLabs or ALS Chemex both located in Brisbane.
•Prior to Alcyone Limited’s work the samples were analysed using GA201 AnaLabs
method, an aqua regia digest with AAS finish for Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn which had
detection limits of 2 ppm, 4 ppm, 5 ppm and 4 ppm respectively. Method GG309 was
used for Au analysis with a detection limit 0.008ppm.
•Beside AnaLabs pre Alcyone work samples were analysed at ALS Chemex using
PM203 and IC203 methods for gold and silver respectively. The methods used aqua
regia digestion followed by AAS measurement with detection limits for Au of 0.02 ppm
and for Ag of 0.2 ppm. All the samples with Ag values greater than 20 g/t were
resubmitted and analysed using method A101, an aqua regia digestion with ICP-AES
finish.
•Alcyone Resources prepared and analysed at ALS Chemex in Brisbane. The samples
were analysed using ME-ICP41 method an conventional ICP-AES Analysis after aqua

Twin Hills:
•Drill spacing varies with the position within the resources. The mostly open hole
percussion near surface drilling was on a grid spacing averaging 10mE x 20mN to
20mE x 25mN.
•At depth (below 80 metres) the drill spacing was 25mE x 30mN to 50mN.
•Below 130 metres the drill spacing was variable.
•Successive drill programmes have in-filled previous programmes and in the majority
of drill holes returned mineralisation in the expected position. This provided a high
degree of confidence in the geological continuity. Close spaced drilling provides good
support for positioning of mineralisation by domain.
•The drill sampling reflects the geological conditions. For mineral resource estimates
a 2 metre composite length was chosen given that is the dominant sample length in
the drilling.
Mt Gunyan:
•Overall the drill holes are spaced on average on sections along strike between 20m
and 50m apart; across strike generally between 5m and 30m but up to 50m (quite
variable due to positioning difficulties on the hill) and vertically approximately 30m (but

Twin Hills:
•The drill holes were orientated as close as possible to perpendicular or near
perpendicular to the structure or geological trend containing the mineralisation.
•No sampling bias was evident given that the mineralisation is disseminated within the
alteration and as well associated with small scale quartz veins.
Mt Gunyan:
•The drilling is oriented as best as possible to perpendicular to the geology/alteration
containing or controlling the mineralisation. Drilling is in some locations down dip and
the influence of this drilling is recognised in the estimation methodology.

Twin Hills:
•The Twin Hills Deposit is centred on a north-south trending ridge with a maximum
vertical height variation of approximately 120m. The intense alteration is up to 300
metres wide and is bordered by weak to moderately altered grey to khaki strongly
cleaved siltstones and conglomerate. The silver mineralisation is epigenetic and
formed through epithermal derived solutions intruding into fine grained volcanoclastic
sediments. Pervasive to intense silicic and potassic alteration is common and appears
associated with the more intense mineralisation.
•Metal Zoning is extremely common in intrusion related systems and there are
numerous variations along the general theme of proximal Cu-Mo and distal Pb-Zn.
There are also many examples of high silver association within the distal zones.
Mt Gunyan:
•The deposit consists of steeply to moderately east dipping roughly north south trending
mineralisation hosted by altered sediments and displaying anomalous silver content.
The main mineralisation occurs over a strike length of 650m, a depth of 170m to 200m
and a width which varies between 20 and 350m. Silver minerals have not been
identified, it is suspected that silver occurs in the galena lattice. The zones of
mineralisation are wire framed as were surrounding lower-grade anomalous region.

Comparison of the estimate in global terms to production figures was considered
generally fair by Alcyone Limited with some indications however that the exploration
model was slightly over stating in tonnes and grade above cut-off compared to the
blast hole defined grade control information.

The mineral resource model did not account for production.

The silver mineralisation contained within the resource contains gold which=h is
estimated within the model. Gold can be recovered in the leach process with a
recovery factor estimated at 45% based on the test work completed.

No assessment of deleterious elements was made but it was noted that some of the
resource contains base metals in low concentrations which could interfere with the
recovery process.

The block model was constructed using blocks of 5mE x 20mN x 5m RL. Sub-celling
to half the block size in each direction was adopted to ensure accurate volume
representation. Grade estimation was to the parent block size. The block size was
a compromise given the variation in drill spacing with position in the resources.

There were no assumptions behind the modelling of selective mining units.

Whilst comparisons have been made between silver and gold no correlation of
grades has been observed and the result did not influence the estimation process.

Hard boundaries were applied to the Domains. Grade was estimated within these
boundaries.

Statistical analysis of the silver indicated that it was fairly normally distributed
according to the coefficients of variation thus only the extreme outliers were
controlled by top cutting. For gold the populations were positively skewed and thus
to minimise the influence of higher grade composites their influence was restricted
to the primary search distances.

Volume validation was carried out by comparison of the solids representing the
mineralisation to the block model. Grade validation was carried by both global
comparison of the average estimated grade to the average input grade and spatially
by comparison of the estimated grades to the input grades by position. Alcyone
Limited reported that visual comparison was also used. Comparison to production
information was fairly supportive of the model.
Mt Gunyan:

For silver the modest size of most zones/domains and the subsequent number of
included composites plus the good statistical composite behaviour supported the
use of inverse distance to the power of 2 as the estimation technique.

Twin Hills:
•The model was optimised using 65% silver recovery on a crushed ore heap cyanide
leach process. Mining, blast, haul, crushing, stacking and processing costs were
driven by owner operation using existing mining fleet and upgraded crushing and
stacking infrastructure. Historic mining has been by open cut which has proven in
the areas mined to be appropriate to the physical extraction of the mineralised
material which is in turn confirmed by comparison of the model to production. The
optimisation process indicated a reporting cut-off of 26.5g/t.
Mt Gunyan:
•A 30g/t Ag boundary appears to define statistically and geologically the margins of
the more continuous higher-grade mineralisation whilst 10g/t Ag provides the extent
of the mineralisation. Gold zones were defined using a 0.1g/t boundary given there
was gold outside the silver zones.

Twin Hills:
•The classifications are based on the quality and amount of input data, the grade
continuity model and the physical domaining which is supported by mining and drilling
observation of the mineral system.
•Shortcomings in QAQC have been offset by the amount of drilling data and the
apparent lack of bias between sample types.
•Higher confidence areas have more supporting data and mining history, areas of
lower geological support reflect a lower classification.
•The input data particularly in the more recent data is consistent and closely spaced
enough to support the projection of the geological interpretation at depth. Later
drilling programmes have successfully in-filled earlier programmes in mineralised
locations predicted by the initial programme. The estimated grade correlates
reasonably well with the input data given the nature of the mineralisation.

confidence areas have more supporting data, areas of lower geological support
reflect a lower classification.

RAB completed by Macmin TXB513 to TXB595 was only bottom of hole sampled
with a two-metre composite. As thе drill holes are relatively shallow 15-20 m only 165
m of the 1187 m being sampled (about 14%).

RAB drilling conducted by Alcyone drilling was sampled generally at 1 m intervals. In
areas logged as waste, samples are combined into 3 m intervals. 5751 m of RAB
drilling from 183 holes was completed with 99.9% sampled.

RC drilling was sampled 1 m (53.5%) and 2 m (46.5%) intervals. 1780 m of RC of
RC drilling from 9 holes was completed with 99.9% sampled.

Diamond drill half core was sampled on intervals generally between 0.5 m to 1 m
except at geological contacts where samples met the geological domain. The
sampling was irregular controlled by interpreted geological domains. 806.6 m of
diamond drill core, from 10 holes, was drilled with 718.06 m sampled representing
89% of core sampled.

Historical production records for the old Texas mine have not been located and it
unsure whether such records have survived.
Harrier:

Sampling has occurred at irregular intervals on the diamond drill half core. It is
assumed the sampling intervals where chosen according to logged geology however
at this time the sample methodology cannot be confirmed.

Several critical intervals have not been sampled. It is intended the check these
intervals and re-log and resample the drill hole if warranted when access to core is
granted.

Core was cut with diamond saw and one half sampled with one half retained.

RAB sampling generally осcured on 1 m intervals, however procedures of splitting
and sub sampling are not known.
Hawker:

120 soil samples were collected.

RC drilling was sampled at 1 m intervals.

There is a total of 558 m of RC drilling from 8 drill holes.

Results are reported above a 0.1% copper and minimum two-meter width.

Copper is generally associated with silver and silver grades are averaged where it
occurs with copper. Silver is not reported above a threshold, only the copper
threshold is considered. For simplicity, copper is assumed to be the primary
commodity of interest, although it is likely silver will be important.

Copper and silver grades are reported as simple arithmetic average and no length

Hawker:

The relationship between the orientation of the mineralisation and orientation of the
