Scout drilling defines large gold targets at Cue Evolution JV

  • Aircore drilling results extend the Lake Austin North gold anomalism to more than 5.5km of strike, confirming potential for a large mineralised gold system. Significant results include:

o 6m @ 4.2g/t Au from 116m (20MOAC031) including:

  - **1m @ 18.2g/t Au from 117m**
  • 9m @ 2.25g/t Au from 136m to EOH (20MOAC041)

  • Strong regolith gold halos also identified for targets at West Island and Mainland East

  • 249 drill holes for 22,879m have now been completed as part of the regional aircore drilling program on the Evolution Joint Venture over Lake Austin

  • The program was successful in identifying multiple high-priority basement gold targets for follow-up drill testing

  • Planning is underway for Phase 2 scout drilling on Lake Austin which is scheduled to commence in late-July 2020

Musgrave Minerals Ltd (ASX: MGV ) (“Musgrave” or “the Company”) is pleased to report further assay results (Table 1a) from the recent regional scout aircore drilling program on the Lake Austin Joint Venture with Evolution Mining, at the Company’s flagship Cue Project in Western Australia’s Murchison district ( Figure 1 ). The results have strengthened Musgrave’s exploration model for a large mineralised gold system beneath Lake Austin. The drilling has generated multiple high-priority basement gold targets for follow-up drill testing.

Musgrave Managing Director Rob Waugh said: “These aircore results continue to show the large scale of the gold system lying hidden under Lake Austin and support the Company’s view on the prospectivity of this large area. The Lake Austin North gold anomaly now extends for over 5.5km in strike with additional new anomalies at West Island and Mainland East highlighting the potential of the system to host significant gold deposits.”

Aircore Program Results

Following the commencement of the Evolution Joint Venture in October 2019, a Phase 1 regional aircore drilling program was recently completed and comprised 249 holes for 22,879m on Lake Austin. The aim of the aircore program was to obtain geological and geochemical information to integrate with geophysical data and provide vectors for basement drilling. All composite gold assay results from the Phase 1 program have now been received.

The results have extended the Lake Austin North gold anomalism to a strike of over 5.5km ( Figure 1 ) where it remains open to both the north and south-west. This extensive gold regolith ‘halo’ follows the tonalite-mafic contact along a major shear zone (Lena-Break of Day shear corridor).

The regolith gold target at West Island has been extended to over 2.3km in strike within a dominantly doleritic regolith host sequence. At the Mainland East target, a regolith gold anomaly with over 1km of strike has been defined within a dominantly mafic sequence.

Many of the aircore drill holes terminated in mineralisation highlighting the possible proximity to basement gold mineralisation and the necessity for further drill testing.

Significant results at Lake Austin North include:

  • 6m @ 4.2g/t Au from 116m (20MOAC031) including; o 1m @ 18.2g/t Au from 117m

  • 9m @ 2.25g/t Au from 136m to EOH (20MOAC041)

  • 13m @ 0.53g/t Au from 128m to EOH (20MOAC248)

  • 20m @ 0.30g/t Au from 130m (20MOAC023)

  • 28m @ 0.29g/t Au from 96m to EOH (20MOAC032)

Significant results at West Island include:

  • 2m @ 1.52g/t Au from 47m to EOH (20MOAC084)

  • 3m @ 1.15g/t Au from 99m to EOH (20MOAC095)

  • 34m @ 0.28g/t Au from 93m to EOH (20MOAC112)

  • 28m @ 0.32g/t Au from 112m (20MOAC238)

Significant results at Mainland East include:

  • 4m @ 0.76g/t Au from 66m (20MOAC164)

  • 4m @ 0.18g/t Au from 8m to EOH (20MOAC145)

Aircore drilling is a reconnaissance exploration technique used to better define basement geology below the lake cover and provides a direct detection geochemical tool to define areas of gold anomalism for follow-up basement drilling at depth. The aircore technique can only effectively drill to the top of fresh rock through the lake clays and oxidised rock that is the Archaean regolith. Lowgrade aircore results can provide a geochemical indication of higher-grade mineralisation in the basement beneath, as is commonly seen in the Western Australian Yilgarn region.

All new aircore drill hole collars and assay results above 0.1g/t are recorded in Table 1(a).

Background to the Evolution Joint Venture

In late 2019 Musgrave announced that it had entered into an Earn-In and Joint Venture Exploration Agreement with Evolution Mining Limited over a select area of Lake Austin and surrounds of the Cue Project in the Murchison District of Western Australia.

The Evolution JV excludes all the known resources at Cue (including Lena and Break of Day) and the Mainland option area.

Evolution can earn a 75% interest in the JV Area by sole funding A$18 million on exploration over a five-year term with a minimum commitment of A$4 million in the first two years. Musgrave is manager of the JV during the initial period.

Aircore drilling on Lake Austin as part of the joint venture commenced in February 2020.

Ongoing Exploration

Evolution JV

  • The Phase 1 regional aircore geochemical drilling program on Lake Austin is now complete with all composite gold assays received. Complete multi-element analyses of end of hole samples are awaited.

  • Phase 2 follow-up aircore drilling of high priority gold targets is scheduled to commence in late July 2020.

  • Diamond drill testing of select targets will be evaluated after the completion of the Phase 2 aircore program.

Musgrave 100% tenements

  • Follow-up drilling on the new Starlight link-lode at Break of Day is continuing. The RC drilling is approximately 70% complete with further assays expected within two weeks.

  • A diamond drilling program at Starlight is due to commence next week.

  • A resource update for Break of Day, including Starlight is scheduled for late Q3, 2020.

THE CUE PROJECT

The Cue Project (“the Project”) is located in the Murchison district of Western Australia ( Figure 2 ) and hosts Mineral Resources (Indicated and Inferred) totalling 6.45Mt @ 3.0g/t gold for 613,000oz contained gold. The Company has defined a +28km-long prospective gold corridor that includes the Break of Day, Lake Austin North and Mainland-Consols gold discoveries.

The Company believes there is significant potential to extend existing mineralisation and discover new gold deposits within the Project area, as demonstrated by the recent drilling success at Break of Day, Lena and Lake Austin North. Musgrave’s intent is to investigate options to best develop a low-cost operation, capable of delivering strong financial returns for its shareholders.

Musgrave has executed an $18 million Earn-in and Exploration Joint Venture with Evolution Mining Ltd over the Lake Austin portion of the Cue Project

Notes to Table 1a

1. An accurate dip and strike and the controls on mineralisation are only interpreted and the true width of mineralisation is unknown at this time.

2. In Aircore (AC) drilling, composite 4 metre samples were collected with smaller composites if end of hole reached. One metre individual samples are submitted for priority analysis where 4m composite assays are greater than 100ppb Au. All samples are analysed using a 50g fire assay with ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry) finish gold analysis (0.005ppm detection limit) by Genalysis-Intertek in Maddington, Western Australia

3. g/t (grams per tonne), ppm (parts per million), ppb (parts per billion), X = below detection limit, NSI = no significant intercept above 100ppb Au

4. Intersections are generally calculated over intervals >0.1g/t where zones of internal dilution are not weaker than 2m < 0.1g/t Au.

  1. Drill type; AC = Aircore

  2. Coordinates are in GDA94, MGA Z50 using averaged GPS position

JORC TABLE 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria 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.
The drill hole sampling in this release has been carried out on Lake Austin
as part of the Cue Joint Venture with Evolution mining Ltd. The drill
program comprises aircore drill holes (249 drill holes for 22,879m) varying
in depth from 5m to 180m. All drill holes were drilled at either -60oor -90o
and at variable spacing but nominally 50m spacings along lines with
traverse lines spaced 200m-400m apart.
Sampling is undertaken using standard industry practices including the use
of duplicates and standards at regular 30m intervals.
One metre aircore samples are laid out in rows of 20 on the ground and
composite 4m samples collected by scoop sampling the one metre piles to
produce a 2-3kg composite sample which is sent to the Genalysis
laboratory in Maddington, Perth for analysis. Resampling of anomalous
aircore samples (>100ppb Au) is undertaken at 1m intervals by scoop.
A Thermo Scientific Niton GoldD XL3+ 950 Analyser is available on site to
aidgeological interpretation. No XRF results are reported.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate calibration
of any measurement tools or systems used.
All co-ordinates are in UTM grid (GDA94 Z50) and drill hole collars have
been surveyed by hand held GPS to an accuracy of ~1.0m. The accuracy of
historical drill collarspre-2009 is unknown.

are Material to the Public Report. In cases where
‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1m samples from which 3kg was
pulverised to produce a 30g 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 (eg submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Aircore samples were collected as 4m composites for all drill holes in the
current program. One metre individual samples are immediately submitted
for analysis where composites assay above 0.1g/t Au.
Individual samples weigh less than 3kg to ensure total preparation at the
laboratory pulverization stage. The sample size is deemed appropriate for
the grain size of the material being sampled.
Samples are sent to the Genalysis –Intertek laboratory in Maddington.
Samples are pulverized to 85% passing -75um and four metre composite
samples are analysed using a 50g fire assay with ICP-MS (inductively
coupled plasma - mass spectrometry) finish gold analysis (0.005ppm
detection limit).
Individual one metre gold samples are analysed using a 50g fire assay with
ICP-MS finish forgold.
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).
The aircore drilling program was undertaken by Raglan Drilling Pty Ltd with
a 3 inch drill pipe and blade (76mm) or hammer (76mm) using a custom
built Lake Crawler drill rig and a KL150 track mounted aircore rig.
A combination of historical RAB, aircore, RC and diamond drilling has been
undertaken by multiple companies over a thirty year period across the
broader project area.
Details of historical aircore and Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling techniques
used on Lake Austin are not clearly reported in the historical data although
these drilling methods produce cut and air blasted regolith samples and not
core.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
Aircore drill samples are usually dry but some wet samples exist where
ground water pressure is high. The sample size and condition (wet, damp,
dry) is recorded every metre. Generally recovery is 80-100% but
occasionally down to 30% on rare occasions when ground water pressure is
very high.
The cyclone is routinely cleaned to reduce the likelihood of cross sample
contamination.
Bulk sample weights are observed and noted in a field Toughbook
computer by MGV field staff.
Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported
in detail. As such these details are unknown.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
Drillers use industry appropriate methods to maximise sample recovery
and minimise downhole contamination. A cyclone was utilised to recover
samples. The cyclone is air blasted clean at the end of each 6m rod.
Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported
in detail. As such these details are unknown.
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 significant sample loss or bias has been noted.

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.
All geological, structural and alteration related observations are stored in
the database.
All pre 2009 historical drilling was intended with an exploration focus and
not for Mineral Resource estimation or mining and metallurgical studies.
Although drill chip samples have been historically logged for geological,
structural and alteration related observations the drill holes have not been
logged to a level that would support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation or miningand metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
Logging of lithology, structure, alteration, mineralisation, colour and other
features of chips is undertaken on a routine 1m basis in aircore for all
samples.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
All drill holes are logged in full on completion.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter,
half or all core taken.
N/A
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary
split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
Aircore samples are routinely kept dry by the use of pressurised air.
Minimal wet sampling occurred and only in areas of high ground water
pressure.
Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported
in detail. As such these details are unknown.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness
of
the
sample
preparation
technique.
Aircore samples were collected as 4m composites for all drill holes in the
current program using a scoop methodology. One metre individual samples
are immediately submitted for analysis where anomalous composite assays
exist (>100ppb Au) using a scoop methodology.
Drill sample preparation and base metal and precious metal analysis is
undertaken by a registered laboratory (Genalysis – Intertek). Sample
preparation by dry pulverisation to 85% passing 75 micron.
Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported
in detail. As such these details are unknown.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.
Field QC procedures involve the use of certified reference standards (1:50),
duplicates (~1:30) and blanks at appropriate intervals for early stage
exploration programs. High, medium and low gold standards are used.
Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported
in detail. As such these details are unknown.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected,
including
for
instance
results
for
field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Sampling is carried out using standard protocols and QAQC procedures as
per industry practice.
Duplicate samples are inserted (~1:30) and routinely checked against
originals.
Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported
in detail. As such these details are unknown.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain
size of the material being sampled.
Sample sizes are considered appropriate for grain size of sample material to
give an accurate indication of geochemical gold dispersion. Samples are
collected from full width of sample interval to ensure it is representative of
the drillinginterval.
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.
In aircore drilling one metre individual samples are analysed through
potential gold mineralised zones. Analysis is by 50g fire assay with ICP-MS
finish for gold.
On all aircore samples, analysis is undertaken by Intertek-Genalysis (a
registered laboratory), with 50g fire assay with ICP-MS finish undertaken
for gold.
Internal certified laboratory QAQC is undertaken including check samples,
blanks and internal standards.
This methodology is considered appropriate for gold mineralisation at the
exploration phase.
For drilling pre 2009 analysis for gold was by aqua regia digest with AAS
finish and considered appropriate for the type of exploration undertaken.
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.
No geophysical tools were used to estimate mineral or element
percentages. Musgrave utilise a Thermo Scientific Niton GoldD XL3+ 950
Analyser to aid geological interpretation.
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.
Standards, duplicates, blanks, and repeats are utilised as standard
procedure. Certified reference materials that are relevant to the type and
style of mineralisation targeted are inserted at regular intervals.
Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported
in detail. As such these details are unknown.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
Samples are verified by the geologist before importing into the main
database (Datashed).
Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported
in detail. As such these details are unknown.
The use of twinned holes. No twin holes have been drilled by Musgrave Minerals Ltd during this
program.

Documentation
of
primary
data,
data
entry
procedures, data verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.
Primary data is collected using a standard set of templates. Geological
sample logging is undertaken on one metre intervals for all RC drilling with
colour, structure, alteration and lithology recorded for each interval. Data is
verified before loading to the database. Geological logging of all samples is
undertaken.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. No adjustments or calibrations are made to any MGV assay data reported.
To our knowledge, no adjustments or calibrations were made to any
historical assaydata reported.
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.
All maps and drill hole locations are in UTM grid (GDA94 Z50) and have
been surveyed or measured by hand-held GPS with an accuracy of >±1
metre.
Specification of the grid system used. Drill hole and sample site co-ordinates are in UTM grid (GDA94 Z50) and
converted from localgrid references.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Historical drill hole collars and RL’s on Lake Austin where surveyed by hand-
held GPS with an accuracy of >±5 metre.
Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported
in detail. As such these details are unknown.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Variable drill hole spacings are used to adequately test targets and are
determined from geochemical, geophysical and geological data together
with historical drilling information. Regional drill hole traverse spacing is
variable from 200m to 400m and 50m to 100m along lines.
Variable drill hole spacings were used in historical drilling with drill
traverses spaced between 200m and 1km apart. Drill hole spacings on
traverse lines varied from 50m to 150m.
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 estimation procedure(s)
and classifications applied.
There is a current JORC 2012 Mineral Resource at Break of Day and Lena
defined by Musgrave Minerals Ltd.
The Mineral Resources estimate at Break of Day and Lena was prepared
and disclosed in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the Australian Code of
Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC 2012).
For further details refer to MGV ASX announcement 14 July 2017:
“Resource Estimate Exceeds 350koz Au” and MGV ASX announcement 17
February2020,“Lena Resource Update”.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. Aircore samples were collected as 4m composites for all drill holes in the
current program using a scoop methodology from one metre sample piles.
One metre individual samples are submitted for analysis where anomalous
composite assays above 100ppb gold exist using a scoop methodology rom
one metre sample piles.
Composite sampling is undertaken using a stainless steel spear (trowel) on
one metre samples and combined in a calico bag for a combined weight of
approximately 2-3kg.
One metre individual samples were collected in mineralised zones on all
pre 2009 historical drill holes.
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, considering the deposit
type.
Drilling is designed to cross the mineralisation as close to perpendicular as
possible. Most drill holes are designed at a dip of approximately -60
degrees.
The true width of drill intersections is not known at this time but gold
dispersion mineralisation in the Archaean saprolite is interpreted to be
dominantlyflat lying.
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 is known at this time.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Chain of custody is managed by internal staff. Drill samples are stored on
site and transported by a licenced reputable transport company to a
registered laboratory in Perth (Genalysis-Intertek at Maddington). When at
the laboratory samples are stored in a locked yard before being processed
and tracked through preparation and analysis (Lab-Trak system).
Pre 2009 drilling results noted in this report are historical and not reported
in detail. As such these details are unknown.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
During the resource estimate an external review of the geological
interpretation, data and modelling techniques was undertaken by CSA
global.
Open file reports confirm the historical mineralisation as reported.

and land tenure
status
Type, reference name/number, location and
ownership including agreements or material issues
with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or national
park and environmental settings.
Musgrave Minerals has secured 100% of the Moyagee Project area (see
MGV ASX announcement 2 August 2017: “Musgrave Secures 100% of Key
Cue Tenure”).
In October 2019 the Evolution Joint Venture commenced covering Lake
Austin and some surrounding tenure. Evolution have a right to earn 75%
in the project by spending $18M on exploration within 5 years including a
minimum spend on $4M in the first two years. Joint venture tenements
include; E21/129, E21/200, E21/194, E21/177, E21/204, E21/207,
E21/208, P21/757, E58/507, M21/107 and the northern portion of
M21/106. Musgrave will manage the JV for the initial period.
The Break of Day, Lena and Louise Prospects are located on the southern
portion of 100% MGV owned granted mining lease M21/106. The primary
tenement holder is Musgrave Minerals Ltd. The Numbers Prospect is on
E58/335. Lake Austin North is on M21/106 and E21/129.
The Mt Eelya Prospect is located on granted exploration licence E20/608
and the primary tenement holder is Musgrave Minerals Ltd.
The Cue project tenements consist of 39 licences.
The tenements are subject to standard Native Title heritage agreements
and state royalties. Third party royalties are present on some individual
tenements.
The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the area.
The tenements are in good standing and no known impediments exist.
Exploration done
by other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.
Historical drilling, soil sampling and geophysical surveys have been
undertaken in different areas on the tenements intermittently by multiple
third parties over a period of more than 30 years.
At Break of Day and Lena historical exploration and drilling has been
undertaken by a number of companies and most recently by Silver Lake
Resources Ltd in 2010-11.
Historical lake drilling from 1991-1999 was undertaken by Perilya Mines
Ltd and from 2001-2006 by Mines and Resources Australia Pty Ltd.
Prior to MGV, Silver Lake Resources Ltd also did historical drilling at Break
of Day,Lena,Leviticus and Numbers between 2009 and 2011.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
Geology comprises typical Archaean Yilgarn greenstone belt lithologies
and granitic intrusives.
Two main styles of mineralisation are present, typical orogenic Yilgarn
Archaean lode gold and volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) base metal and
gold mineralisation within the Eelya Felsic Complex(northern tenure).
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.
All relevant historical drill hole information has previously been reported
by SLR and MGV and through open file reporting by previous explorers.
All new drill holes completed and assayed by MGV with material results
(>100ppb Au (0.1g/t Au)) are referenced in this release.
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.
All significant new drill hole assay data of a material nature are reported
in this release. No cut-off has been applied to any sampling. All intervals
have been length weighted.
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.
All significant new drill hole assay data are reported in this release. No
cut-off has been applied to any sampling.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalent values have been reported. All intervals are down
hole intervals with a minimum width of one metre and are not true
widths.

Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
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’). _
All significant new drill hole assay data of a material nature are reported
in this release. True widths are not confirmed but all drilling is planned
close to perpendicular to interpreted targets.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations 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.
Diagrams referencing new and historical drill data can be found in the
body of this release.
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.
All material assays received to date from Musgrave’s drilling are reported
in this release together with reference to historical drilling results of
significance.
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.
All new meaningful data is reported in this release.
All material results from geochemical and geophysical surveys and drilling
related to these prospects has been reported or disclosed previously.
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).
A range of exploration techniques will be considered to progress
exploration including additional drilling.
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions,
including
the
main
geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided
this information is not commercially sensitive.
Refer to figures in the body of this announcement.
