ASX ANNOUNCEMENT – DISCOVEX RESOURCES LIMITED 9 JUNE 2020

MORE QUALITY GOLD TARGETS EMERGE AT EDJUDINA Drilling set to recommence in the coming weeks

  • Recently completed soil sampling combined with historic data has revealed new targets at Hornet and highlighted several new prospects within the broader project

  • New tenements pegged to take advantage of potential live structures – now 826km[2]

  • Completion of a regional scale programme of surface sampling expected before the end of the month

  • Drilling to further define and extend recently identified mineralisation at Hornet West set to commence in the coming weeks. Recently released results included*: -

  • HOAC012: 2m @ 3.0 g/t Au from 50-52m EOH (Includes 1m @ 5.3 g/t Au)

  • HOAC032: 7m @ 1.4 g/t Au from 40-47m EOH (Includes 3m @ 2.8g/t Au)

  • HOAC026: 1m @ 3.4 g/t Au from 54-55m

(*Refer DCX ASX Announcements of 14 April and 21 May 2020)

  • EIS Co-funded support awarded for diamond drilling at Hornet

Putting the Explore back into Modern Exploration

DiscovEx Resources Limited (ASX: DCX) is pleased to announce the results from the compilation of recently completed soil sampling results at Edjudina. Together with historic soil data, several new targets have been highlighted within both the Hornet Prospect area and the broader project area. Further work on these new areas, including additional surface sampling to better define the anomalies, will culminate in the drill testing of the highest priority targets later in the year.

DCX is also pleased to advise that aircore drilling at the Hornet West prospect is set to re-commence within the next two weeks. Recently completed drilling has provided the Company with a highly significant, consistent, highgrade gold in basement trend over greater than 200m, open in all directions. The most important results from that drilling included:

  • 2m @ 3.0 g/t Au from 50-52m EOH (including 1m @ 5.3 g/t Au) in HOAC012

  • 7m @ 1.4 g/t Au from 40-47m EOH (including 3m @ 2.8 g/t Au) in HOAC032; and • 1m @ 3.4 g/t Au from 54-55m in HOAC026

Visible gold, providing confidence that the mineralisation is in-situ and potentially amenable to conventional processing (yet to be confirmed with cyanide leach assay testing) was panned from the two intervals in holes HOAC012 and HOAC032.

The DiscovEx team plans to continue aircore drilling at Hornet within the next two weeks. A programme of approximately 2,500m will be completed with subsequent RC drill testing to follow.

DiscovEx has also been fortunate enough to win a WA Government Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) co-funded drilling grant to the value of up to $80,000 to assist with the cost of diamond drill testing at Hornet. DCX plans to complete this work later in the year once final targeting has been completed.

EDJUDINA GOLD PROJECT – OVERVIEW

The Edjudina Project is situated within the southern portion of the Laverton District, about 700km north-east of Perth. The area hosts numerous major gold deposits, including Anglogold Ashanti’s Sunrise Dam (> 12 Moz Au), Saracen Mineral Holdings’ Carosue Dam (>2 Moz Au) and Matsa Resources’ Red October project (>0.5 Moz Au).

The Edjudina project covers a strike extent of over 50km within the Linden Terrain, east of the Pinjin Fault, over a north-northwest trending sequence of prospective greenstone, gneisses and granites and is immediately along strike from Matsa Resources’ Fortitude gold project (>385,000oz Au), which it continues to actively explore and expand.

Previous work on the Edjudina tenure, mostly during the 1980’s and 1990’s, included soil sampling, geophysics (both airborne and ground-based), air core (AC) drilling and minimal reverse circulation (RC) drilling. Several goldin-soil anomalies were identified during previous exploration programs, in particular at two prospect locations, Hornet and Phantom. Both areas of soil anomalism were the subject of shallow AC drilling to blade refusal. Much of this exploration effort was undertaken at a time when the gold price was less than US$300/oz and therefore the hurdles to mining were much higher than today, with gold prices currently around US$1,700.

GOLD IN SOIL ANOMALIES AT HORNET

At least three generations of soil sampling have been conducted at various spacing on a number of regions within the broader Edjudina Project tenure. Much of this sampling is considered by DCX to have been largely ineffective due to the sample media chosen for sampling. DCX considers that any samples that are coarser than the 175 micron fraction (-80 mesh) are too coarse to provide an adequate signal to noise ratio to be effective at discriminating anomalies from background. Much of the sampling around the Hornet prospect, completed in the late 1990’s, was the 2mm fraction and therefore largely ineffective. Recent sampling by DCX has highlighted this lack of anomaly discrimination at Hornet and provided numerous opportunities for further expansion, both at Hornet and more regionally.

Figure 1 below, provides a compiled representation of the surface geochemical footprint at Hornet and highlights numerous target areas that have been undrilled or drilled at a spacing that renders them effectively untested. The contouring is based upon data normalisation using percentiles. Each individual dataset, including top of hole drill assay data, was normalised to each individual dataset by dividing the data into percentiles for Au.

Several large consistent trends have been identified and will be infilled and further defined prior to subsequent drill testing.

REGIONAL GOLD TARGETS AND ADDITIONAL TENURE

An ongoing review of regional datasets, comprising drilling, geology, surface geochemistry and geophysics, has allowed the DCX team to define numerous additional targets along the length of the Edjudina Project tenure. As indicated above, much of the previous surface sampling is considered to have been largely ineffective. Some areas, such as the Tiger Prospect, have what are considered, in context, significant soil anomalies that require follow-up. Other areas of particular structural interest due to their potential to be environments where destressing and subsequent dilation could have occurred, also require investigation including surface sampling.

This work will begin together with the upcoming drilling programme and continue into the latter part of this year. The data compilation and target generation exercise will be ongoing.

Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data
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.
_DCX aircore drilling:_2kg - 3kg samples collected and
laid out on 1m intervals. Samples taken via a scoop
on 4m composite intervals.
Cyclone/sampling equipment cleaned regularly
during drilling
Mineralisation determined qualitatively through
rock type, sulphide and quartz content and
intensity of alteration.
Mineralisation determined quantitatively via assay
(aqua-regia digest followed by ICP-MS for gold and
four-acid digest for multi-element data). Single
metre assaying was completed using a 50g fire
assay.
Samples pulverized to 75 μm
_Historical Drilling:_No recorded exploration was
undertaken on the tenements before 1989. From
the late 1980’s a number of exploration companies
held the ground including Aberfoyle Resources Ltd,
Barranco
Resources,
Arimco
Mining,
Midas
Resources Ltd, Gryphon Minerals Ltd and Omni
Projects Pty Ltd. Works undertaken over the project
area involved:

1km spaced soil sampling by Aberfoyle
(1989)

Infill soil sampling by Arimco Mining (1998)

Vertical AC drilling by Arimco (1998)

Airborne Magnetics survey by Arimco.
(1998)
AC drilling was sampled on a 4m composite basis
with follow up 1m splits taken post drilling from
composites that returned assays >0.1g/t Au.
Downhole samples were analysed for gold and
multi-element determinations via Aqua Regia
digest and carbon rod finish. End of hole samples
were assayed for Ag, As, Bi, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mo, Mn,
Ni, Sb, Pb, V and Zn Aqua Regia digest and carbon
rod finish.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off
grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Significant intervals reported were taken above
0.1g/t Au with a maximum 2m of internal dilution
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.
The high grades in the exploration results have not
been cut. Weighted averaging has been used when
calculating intervals of differing sample lengths.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalent values are used for reporting
exploration results.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
No metal equivalent values are used for reporting
exploration results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be
reported.
The geometry of the mineralisation is interpreted as
striking
north/south,
however
there
is
no
information to suggest a dip of the mineralisation
and is therefore not known at this stage.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this
effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’).
The geometry of the mineralisation is interpreted as
striking
north/south,
however
there
is
no
information to suggest a dip of the mineralisation
and is therefore not known at this stage.
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.
Refer to figures 1 and 2 within this Announcement.
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.
Maximum Au plots can be shown in Figures 1 and 2
and include all available drill information.
