LATEST DRILLING RESULTS TO THE NORTH EXPANDS “FLAGSHIP” MILO IOCG - REE DEPOSIT IN QUEENSLAND
Highlights:
-
Four drill holes completed confirm a significant northern extension of the Milo mineralised system beyond the resource[(3)] outline with significant copper equivalent (CuEq[1] ) intersections.
-
MIL017 intersected 70m @ 0.8% CuEq, including 18 metres @ 1.3% CuEq. MIL018 returned 51 metres @ 0.8% CuEq and MIL019 [email protected]% CuEq.
-
Significant Rare Earth element intersections include 20 metres @ 3,979 ppm in MIL017 and 11 metres @1,382 ppm in MIL020A.
-
Mineralisation remains open to the north and south.
-
Results continue to confirm that mineralisation identified to date is part of a much larger mineralising system at Milo.
Australian resources company GBM Resources Limited ( ASX:” GBZ ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to provide a further update of its activities at the Milo IOCG-REE deposit in the North West Mineral Province of Queensland.
Drilling Summary:
Results from four holes MIL017 to MIL020A - drilled on the northern area of the Milo REEY inferred resource have demonstrated that CuEq and REEY mineralisation extends to the north beyond the current resource and that the mineralising system remains open to the north and at depth.
These holes will contribute to an extension of the resource model in an upcoming re-estimation of the previously announced maiden inferred resource of 103Mt at an average grade of 760ppm TREEYO, containing 83,500 tonnes of total rare earth elements and yttrium (TREEYO). Significant CuEq and TREEYO intersections from these new holes are summarised in the tables below.
All holes completed to the north in this round of drilling intersected mineralisation with significant intersections recorded for both CuEq and TREEYO mineralisation. CuEq mineralisation includes 70 metres @ 0.8% CuEq, including 18 metres averaging 1.3% CuEq in MIL017 and 51 metres averaging 0.8% in MIL018. In addition, significant TREEYO intersections included 20 metres averaging 3,979 ppm TREEYO in MIL017 and 11 metres averaging 1,382 ppm TREEYO in MIL020A. These intersections are summarised in tables below, while drillhole locations are illustrated on the attached figure.

KEY outcomes from this program:
-
The completed seven (numbers MIL014 to MIL20A) hole program (also refer ASX release dated 12 June 2012) has successfully confirmed that the mineralisation remains open to the north and south and at depth.
-
Drill Hole MIL015 returned 2m @ 6.2% copper*[4] which demonstrated that a phase of high grade copper mineralisation exists at Milo.
-
Five of the seven holes returned significant rare earth element and copper equivalent results.
-
The program confirms that both the southern extension and northern extension of the mineralised system are beyond the previous maiden rare earth resource outline.[(] [*3)]
-
The Milo system is linked to the regionally significant Cloncurry Flexure and to further define the size of the Milo mineralising system, extensive soil geochemistry and mapping is in progress to target additional zones of mineralisation with in this extensive hydrothermal system.
As a result of the recent successful drilling program the maiden rare earth inferred resource [(*3)] will be revised and the copper equivalent results will be incorporated to delineate a maiden copper equivalent resource. This work is expected to be completed later this month followed up by the completion of the preliminary scoping study, which will incorporate the revised resource figures.

Abbreviations:
REE(O) Rare Earth Elements(oxides) . There are 14 rare earth elements; Lanthanum (La), Cerium (Ce), Praseodymium (Pr), Neodymium (Nd), Samarium (Sm), Europium (Eu), Gadolinium (Gd), Terbium (Tb), Dysprosium (Dy), Holmium (Ho), Erbium (Er), Thulium (Tm), Ytterbium (Yb), Lutetium (Lu) but excluding Promethium (Pm). TREEY(O) Total Rare Earth element and Yttrium (oxides) (Yttrium (Y) is not always considered as a Rare Earth Element but does have many similar properties.
CuEq Copper Equivalent, as defined in Note 1 below.
Reference Notes
- [1] Copper Equivalent calculation represents the total metal value for each metal, multiplied by the conversion factor, summed and expressed in equivalent copper percentage. These results are exploration results only and no allowance is made for recovery losses that may occur should mining eventually result. However it is the company’s opinion that elements considered here have a reasonable potential to be recovered. It should also be noted that current state and federal legislation may impact any potential future extraction of Uranium. Prices and conversion factors used are summarised below, rounding errors may occur.

[2] Intersections quoted are length weighted averages of results for individual sample intervals. Samples were taken at 1 metre intervals in RC drilling by multistage splitter and generally 1 metre intervals of half sawn core with maximum of 2 metres for diamond drilling. Analyses were completed by ALS in Mt Isa for all elements other than gold by MEMS61r, over limit (>1%) Cu by Cu-OG46 and AU by Au-AA25 in Brisbane. Holes generally range in declination from 50[0] to 70[O] to 225[0] MGA at Milo. Mineralised zones are interpreted to dip steeply in the opposite direction, holes are therefore drilled approximately perpendicular to the interpreted strike of mineralised zones.
