Fieldwork confirms priority gold targets at Lignum Dam

  • Six gold targets confirmed along strike from the Lindsay’s Gold Mining Centre

  • Targets characterised by anomalous surface geochemistry over prospective rocktypes and / or existing bedrock gold mineralisation in historic drilling

  • Resampling of historic drillhole 1 metre spoils returns up to 4.22g/t gold

  • The targets remain largely underexplored with infill geochemical sampling and RAB / Aircore drilling planned

  • Mithril to farm into adjoining tenement held by Lawson Gold Limited

Mithril Resources Ltd ( ASX: MTH ) is pleased to advise that recent fieldwork has confirmed six gold targets at the 100% owned Lignum Dam Project (located 50 kilometres north-northeast of Kalgoorlie Western Australia - Figure 1 ).

Mithril plans to carry out a program of infill auger geochemical sampling followed by RAB / Aircore drilling over the targets.

With an area of approximately 260km², Lignum Dam covers a package of gold and nickel prospective Archaean mafic, ultramafic, and felsic rocktypes directly along strike from the Lindsay’s Gold Mining Centre and the high grade Silver Swan nickel deposit.

The gold targets (A – F on Figures 2 and 3 ) are characterised by historic surface gold geochemical anomalies ( typically 2-3 x background values ) that occur within areas of residual soil cover over prospective mafic and felsic rocktypes interpreted from aeromagnetic data. Little if any effective drill testing of the anomalies has previously been undertaken.

Typically the historic anomalies have been generated from wide spaced BLEG, soil or auger sampling ( 400 – 800 metre spaced lines ) and as such infill auger geochemical sampling is required to better define specific drill hole locations.

Of note is the Forty Flats Prospect (Target B) where historic drill hole FFB008 finished in 3m @ 1.40g/t gold from 17 metres with the last metre returning 2.26g/t in an area dominated by shallow soil and sand cover.

Inspection of remnant spoils from this hole indicates the mineralisation is associated with a shear zone comprising altered mafic schist and quartz veining. Resampling from the last metre of this hole by Mithril has returned 4.22g/t gold ( Sample No. 0630_10 ).

Drillhole FFB008 is the westernmost hole on a historic drill traverse which has not been followed up. Given the resampling results and that aeromagnetic data shows that the prospect is directly along strike from Lindsay’s, the Forty Flats Prospect is a high priority target .

To increase its landholding in the Forty Flats area, Mithril has executed a Letter Agreement with Lawson Gold Limited ( ASX: LSN ) whereby Mithril can earn a 75% interest in their EL27/510 which lies adjacent to Forty Flats ( Figures 2 and 3 ) by completing exploration expenditure of $250,000 over 3 years.

Commenting on the results, Mithril’s Managing Director Mr David Hutton said “the identification of quality gold targets so close to Kalgoorlie reinforces the Company’s belief that significant opportunities still remain within so called mature terranes. We look forward to advancing the targets as well as generating further targets on the newly acquired Lawson Gold ground”.

About the Lawson Gold agreement

Mithril can earn a 75% interest in Lawson Gold’s EL27/510 by completing expenditure of $250,000 over 3 years - at which point a Joint Venture is formed and Lawson Gold can elect to maintain its 25% equity by funding on a pro rata basis.

If Lawson Gold elect not to contribute on a pro rata basis, it will dilute (via industry standard formula) until its equity drops below 10% at which point Lawson Gold will be deemed to have withdrawn from the Joint Venture and will be entitled to receive a 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty on all minerals.

Mithril is required to keep EL27/510 in good standing at all times and can only withdraw from the Agreement with 30 days’ notice provided the tenements are in good standing.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random
chips,
or
specific
specialised
industry
standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Rockchip sampling: 1 – 3kg samples of either outcrop, sub crop or
float/lag material was collected at various locations based on
prospective geology.
Surface geochemical sampling: Auger, BLEG or soil sampling were
typically collected on either 800 x 400m centres or 400 x 200m
centres. The sampling is historic in nature and no further details
are known.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Each rock chip location (easting and northing) was collected by a
handheld GPS. A brief sample description and additional
comments as necessary were recorded at every sample location.
All sampling protocols remained constant throughout the
program.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done this would be relatively
simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain
1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a
30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse
gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
1 – 3kg rock chip samples were collected from either outcrop or
sub crop and placed inside calico sample bags for transport to ALS
Laboratories in Kalgoorlie, WA for sample preparation.
Subsequent geochemical analysis was conducted by ALS in Perth
WA.
In the laboratory, samples are crushed and pulverised to produce
a representative 30g sub-sample for analysis using fire assay with
ICP-AES finish for Au, Pt, and Pd (PGMICP23 – Lab Code) and Four
Acid ICP-AES analysis for Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu,

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. best practice, involving oven drying (110°C) where necessary,
crushing and pulverising (~90% less than 75μm).
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling
stages to maximise representivity of samples.
Sub-sampling will only occur if the sample is >3kg. All samples
submitted were <3kg so no sub sampling occurred.
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.
No field duplicates were taken. All samples collected were ~1 –
3kg, and entire sample pulverized.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of
the material being sampled
Sample sizes are considered appropriate for the exploration
method.
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.
Fire Assay method used is considered to be a total digest and is
appropriate for analysing for Au, Pt & Pd. Four Acid digestion is a
near total digestion and is a trace level detection analysis suitable
for base metals.
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 applicable as no geophysical tools were used.
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.
For Fire Assay Gold, each fire (usually 84 pots) contains one blank
to monitor the purity of the reagents and a minimum of two
certified reference materials and three replicates to monitor
accuracy and precision of results from the individual fire.
For Multi-element analysis, each rack (40 tubes) contains one
blank to monitor the purity of the reagents. Each rack contains
two duplicate samples and the results are reported in a QC report
at the end of the analytical report. Each rack contains two
digested standards to monitor the accuracy of the method. The
laboratory also conducts monthly round robin programs for fire
assay gold and base metal analysis.
The laboratory expects to achieve a precision and accuracy of plus
or minus 10% for duplicate analyses, in-house standards and
client submitted standards, when conducting routine geochemical
analyses for gold and base metals. These limits apply at, or
greater than, fifty times the limit of detection.
Verification
of sampling
and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
Significant Results detailed in this Report have been verified by
the Company’s Geology Manager and Managing Director
The use of twinned holes. Not Applicable as no drilling was undertaken.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures,
data verification, data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
Handwritten data entry was used for documenting the rock chip
sampling.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data None undertaken.
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.
Data points (rock chip sample locations and historic drill hole
collars) were recorded using a handheld GPS with an expected
accuracy of+/- 5m. For the nature of the program completed, this
level of accuracy is considered to be suitable.
Specification of the grid system used. Data points have been quoted in this Report using the MGA Zone
51 (GDA94) coordinate system.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Level of topographic control offered by the handheld GPS was
considered sufficient for the work undertaken.
Data
spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. As detailed in Table 1 of this Report. The rock chip samples were
randomly located based on where prospective rocks occurred as
either outcrop or sub crop at the surface.

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.
The data spacing and distribution is not sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s).
Whether sample compositing has been applied. No composite sampling has been applied.
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.
Rockchip samples were collected at random locations based on
prospective geology. Given the lack of knowledge about
underlying structures it is not known whether sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures.
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.

The measures taken to ensure sample security. Not Applicable as no drilling was undertaken.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques
