Bulago Porphyry Copper - Gold Hole GCZ002 Drilling Information
Frontier Resources Limited ( Frontier ) is pleased to release geological information and core photographs for hole GCZ002, Bulago Valley, EL 1595, Papua New Guinea.
Managing Director Peter McNeil stated:
“The recently received photographs and drill /sample logs demonstrate that multiple, megascopically interesting zones of brecciation, alteration and mineralisation were intersected by the 303.9m long hole and assay results will quantify them in a few weeks.
Hole GCZ002 targeted the 350m wide, NNE trending and NW dipping gold (+ copper) mineralised /structural zone that crosses the Bulago Valley. The hole intersected 6 major zones and >10 smaller zones of hydrothermal brecciation/ veining in diorites and mudstones and they appear to be wider /stronger in general with increasing depth.
The 69.7m intercept from 234.2m to end of hole (303.9m) appears to be very interesting, being comprised of hydrothermal breccia, siltstone, diorite, hydrothermal breccia, andesite, diorite, mudstone, siltstone /breccia and diorite and it is summarised below.
Drill core, rocks and stream sediment samples are en-route to the Laboratory in Townsville for analysis and compiled results should be announced late June. ”

|---|---|---|---|
| Section 1 -- Sampling Techniques and Data | |||
| Criteria | Explanation | Commentary | |
| Sampling techniques |
o | Nature and quality of sampling | Core was drilled HQTT (triple tube) by a CSD500 rig and removed from the inner tube into core trays. The whole core was diamond saw cut to Quarter core that was put into calico bags for analysis. |
| o | Measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
Supervised by Senior Geologist, marked up for sampling taking structural orientations into account and attemptingto bisect them. |
|
| o | Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. |
Material aspects of the mineralisation are noted in the text. |
|
| Drilling techniques |
o | Drill type and whether core is oriented. | HQ triple tube core drilling was un-oriented and not surveyed as the holes were all shallow and deviation would have been veryminor. |
| Drill sample recovery |
o | Method of recording and assessing core recoveries and results assessed |
Linear arithmetic, good recoveries. |
| o | Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
The remaining core was then geologically logged in detail. Downhole sample recovery was maximised by the drillers utilising appropriate downhole consumables at the appropriate times to ‘consolidate’ or hold the rock together combined with the fact that we utilise our own rig and drillers who are not paid meterage (speed) bonuses and are therefore more careful with core recovery than normal commercial drillers working on meterage bonuses. Supervised by Senior Geologist with sampling normally on a 1m or 2m basis, but lithologically, also depending on the site geologist’s estimate of the intervals’ mineralisationpotential. |
|
| o | Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred. |
No relationship exists between sample recovery and grade. Recovery was good. No sample bias has occurred due to preferential loss/gain of core or fine/coarse material. |
|
| Logging | o | Whether core samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation,miningstudies and metallurgical studies. |
Core samples were geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral |
| Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| o | Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature and photography. |
Core logging is qualitative in nature, the core was photographed, measured for recovery, rough logged and marked upfor sampling. |
||
| o | The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged | All core in GCZ002 was logged and sampled. | ||
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
o | If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. |
Core was diamond blade sawn to quarter core and sampled. The other half remained in the core tray on site. |
|
| o | The nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
Quarter core diamond blade cut core sampling is high quality and an appropriate sampling technique for all precious and base metal targets/deposits. |
||
| o | Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. |
Standard laboratory procedures practised by ISO certified labs |
||
| o | 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. |
Supervised by Senior Geologist and second half sampling is sometimes undertaken, but not herein due to the small number of samples. |
||
| o | Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material beingsampled. |
Quarter core is an appropriate sample size for this type of investigation. |
||

As noted in body of text. | |
| Exploration done by others |
o | Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Exploration in the region in the late 1960s was part of a PNG porphyry copper deposit search. It was explored for gold initially in the mid 1980's. Refer previous comprehensive data summaries to the ASX forprevious work. |
|

| Data aggregation methods |
o | 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. |
Tables of results included show data aggregation if applied. Core intercepts are weighted averages of the averaged (when possible or individual otherwise) assay results. |
|
| 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 |
If this occurred, it is stated in the text with appropriate cut off grades provided. |
|||
| o | The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearlystated. |
No metal equivalent values are reported. | ||
| Relationship between mineralisation widths & intercept lengths |
o | These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
The relationship between mineralisation widths & intercept lengths is moderatelywell understood. |
|
| o o |
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to 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'). |
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to drill hole angle is known, it is reported in body of text. |
||
| Diagrams | o | 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. |
Appropriate maps, sections and tabulations of intercepts are included as possible. |
|
| Balanced reporting |
o | Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
Comprehensive reporting of Exploration Results has been undertaken. |
|
| Other substantive exploration data |
o | 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 contaminatingsubstances |
All meaningful exploration data has been included in this and many previous releases to the ASX. |
