Torian Resources Ltd ( ASX:TNR )( Torian or Company ) is very pleased to update the market on its recent drilling at Targets 10-17 at its Zuleika JV project in the Goldfields region of Western Australia.
Torian has recently completed Phase 1 of a large 4 Phase drilling campaign. Phase 1 consisted of 36,500m of RAB and RC drilling targeting the Zuleika Shear and its associated structures.
Commenting on the results Torian’s Managing Director, Matt Sullivan said:
“These results show that our ground is highly prospective for large gold deposits. This Zuleika Shear has experienced unprecedented exploration and corporate activity to date and with the second largest landholding in this region Torian is in an excellent position to capitalise on this.”
Torian is very encouraged by the level of corporate activity surrounding its Zuleika project and note that there has been over $1 billion dollars of acquisitions in the region in the last few years.
Torian’s Chairman, Andrew Sparke commented:
“Today’s announcement is very exciting. The high grade results at targets 16 and 17 and the mineralisation north of Northern Star’s East Kundana Joint Venture show the potential of this project.”
“These results demonstrate that Torian’s strategy of regional consolidation and systematic exploration has been a successful one and one which we believe will continue to deliver shareholder value.”
“Torian is in an enviable position in a region that has seen a resurgence in corporate activity but also some extraordinary discoveries by Northern Star and Evolution that look likely to continue. All this in a strong market for precious metals”.

Target 10 (Ambition North)
As seen in Figure 2 below, Target 10 lies about 8km northwest of Kundana. The local geology at Target 10 is concealed by a thin blanket (1-3m) of alluvium and soil. This is likely to have masked the response from previous soil sampling. This target is associated with a sheared dolerite/epiclastic sedimentary contact. There are no old workings in this area.
Previous exploration in this area was completed in the early 1990s and consisted of auger soil sampling, followed up in the Northern area by vertical and west angled RAB drilling on a 200m by 40m pattern. The southern 1,600m strike length had never been drilled.
Recent drilling along this 1,600m section has now been completed and was successful in identifying a saprolite gold target with the best intersection being WFRAB416 with 1m @ 1.76 g/t Au from 52m. Field inspection of this hole shows this mineralisation is hosted in a quartz veined highly sheared and weathered rock. Several other intervals in this hole contained 0.5-1g/t Au values.
Torian recently completed a 400m line spaced reconnaissance RAB program where the Company tested a 1.6km strike length of this target. It is noted that Northern Star Resources Limited (ASX:NST), as manager of the East Kundana Joint Venture (ASX:NST 51%, ASX:TBR 36.75%, ASX:RND 12.25%) have been drilling a few kilometres to the south of this area in recent months at Ambition, with some success.

Figure 2: Map showing a plan view of Targets 10 and 11 and new and historic drilling.
Target 11
As seen in Figure 2 above, Target 11 lies about 1km east of Target 10. The geology is again masked by thin (1-2m) alluvial wash and soils. The geology of this area appears to be near the contact of the Black Flag Formation with the Kurrawang Formation. Previous exploration has been very light with only a broad scattering of shallow drilling.
This drilling dates from the late 1990s and has located a saprock gold target with the best hole being RAB077 with 4m @ 0.14g/t Au from 56m. Field inspection of this hole shows this mineralisation in a quartz veined, very oxidised, felsic volcanic.
Follow up drilling at Target 11 is a high priority and will commence following the completion of a structural and aeromagnetic interpretation.

Target 16
Target 16 is located 19.6km northeast of Target 10. This area has seen modest past production at Credo Well, with 11 tonnes @ 13g/t Au being recorded. This zone is associated with a sheared dolerite unit of the Mt Pleasant Sill and cross structures related to the Black Flag Fault. These structures are associated with significant gold deposits along strike, such as the +4Moz Mt Pleasant deposits and the +7Moz Kundana Deposits to the southwest.
Previous exploration of this area has consisted of regional bedrock RAB drilling and follow up RC drilling. A small number of diamond drill holes have also been drilled. The mineralisation at Target 16 occurs in a steep south east dipping shear zone in the dolerite with variable quartz veining and alteration. The gold grades vary in the range of 1 to 58.8g/t Au over widths of one to 4 metres. The strike extent drilled to date is approximately 240m. The deepest drill hole is approximately 120m vertical and the zone remains open in all directions.
As seen in Figure 3 below, Target 16 shows a mineralised strike length of over 300m which is open along strike and down dip.

Figure 4: Cross section at Target 16 showing historic & proposed drill holes.
All drill results from Target 16 have been generated from an extensive database compilation of historic drilling. Credo Well is a high priority target for the Company and planning for an RC drilling program is underway. The program is designed to test this zone of gold mineralisation to approximately 100m depth.
Target 17
Target 17 lies about 700m west of Target 16. The Target appears to have very similar mineralisation as Target 16 except it seems to be flatter dipping. The previous drilling has been considerably shallower with a deepest hole to date of about 17m. The deeper drilling has all been completed on a single section, which is oblique to the strike of the mineralisation. The majority of the drilling at Target

==> picture [96 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
17 has a maximum depth of only about 40m.The mineralisation remains open in all directions and will be drill tested via RC drilling in the next programme. Torian has not completed any drilling to date, with digital data compilation and planning only being carried out at this point in time.

Ongoing Discussions & Work Streams
Importantly, the company has received a number of approaches from numerous major international gold mining groups. These groups have differing objectives and have approached the company seeking various outcomes. The company is assessing these proposals and endeavours to work closely with its neighbours and other groups with the objective of achieving mutually beneficial outcomes. Whilst these discussions have not resulted in a formal agreement, discussions are ongoing.
Torian is also in discussions with its JV partner, Cascade Resources Ltd, regarding a possible merger. Whilst these discussions have not resulted in a formal agreement between the two companies, discussions are ongoing.
Torian is also in discussions with another party regarding a possible farm out of its Bardoc and Malcolm projects. At this stage, discussions have not culminated in a formal arrangement between the parties however discussions are ongoing.

==> picture [96 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
With Phase 1 now complete at Torian’s Zuleika project, the company is currently planning the next phase of its extensive 4 Phase drilling campaign. Phase 2 will focus on infill drilling Targets 4 and 5 as well as RC drilling at Targets 16 and 17. Proposed drill holes for Targets 16 and 17 can be seen in Figure 4 and 5 above.
Torian has also received approvals to commence drilling at its high grade Mt Stirling project. Torian’s technical team are currently putting together the final preparations for the next drilling campaign at Mt Stirling. The drilling will largely comprise step out RC drilling of an existing high grade resource which is designed to test whether the mineralisation continues across a much larger geological structure. Metallurgical work is also being carried out at Mt Stirling.

About Torian:
Torian Resources Ltd ( ASX:TNR ) is a highly active Australian gold company that is focused on developing the gold mines of tomorrow. The Company has four advanced projects located in the Goldfields region of Western Australia.
Torian’s flagship Project, the Zuleika JV, lies north and partly along strike of several major gold mines including Northern Star (ASX:NST), Tribune Resources (ASX:TBR) and Rand Mining’s (ASX:RND) 7Moz East Kundana Joint Venture and Evolution’s (ASX:EVN) Frogs Legs and White Foil operations.
Since May 2015, Torian has increased its landholding at the Zuleika Project by approximately 75% via seven separate acquisitions. Torian is now the second largest landholder in this highly sought after region and is focused on fast tracking its development.
Torian has commenced a large, 4 Phase, exploration program that is targeting the Zuleika Shear and intends to further consolidate ground in this region.
Torian is also developing the high grade Mt Stirling Project which has an outcropping inferred resource located 40km North West of Leonora. Following a successful infill drilling program in December, Torian is currently completing a scoping study on the project to assess it as a standalone mining operation.
Torian’s exploration team has an enviable track record of discovering and developing a number of multi-million ounce gold mines in this region. Torian is commencing an exciting phase in its development, and we look forward to updating the market as things progress.

Zuleika JV Project Details
The Zuleika JV Project is located 40km northwest of Kalgoorlie and is accessed via well maintained bitumen and all weather gravel roads. The southern boundary of the Project lies some 8km NW of the Kundana Gold Mine where in excess of 7 million ounces of gold has been discovered at an average grade of approximately 10 g/t.
This region has experienced unprecedented exploration and corporate activity of late. This activity has been led by Northern Star Resources and Evolution Mining two of Australia’s largest ASX listed gold miners. In addition, Zijin, China’s largest gold producer, is extremely active with mining operations in this region, two of which immediately adjoin Torian’s tenements.
The project consists of 119 tenements covering approximately 214km[2] north and partly along strike of several major gold deposits including the 7Moz Kundana operation. In April 2015, Torian entered into a Heads of Agreement with Cascade Resources Ltd whereby Torian can earn a 49% interest by spending $5m on the project over 4 years. Cascade had acquired these tenements over the course of the last year and holds the tenements on a 100% basis, with various third parties holding 2% gross mineral royalties.

Regional Geology
The Zuleika JV Project is located in the central part of the Archaean Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belt in Western Australia. The greenstone belt is approximately 600 kilometres in length, and is characterised by thick sequences of ultramafic, mafic, and felsic volcanics, as well as various intrusives and sedimentary rocks. Generally, the mafic and ultramafic occur at the base of the sequence, with the felsic volcanic to volcaniclastic rocks overlying.
Research by the Geological Survey of Western Australia indicates that coarse grained sandstones and conglomerates unconformably overlie, or are in fault contact with, greenstones in synclinal basins adjacent to or overlying major regional faults.

Mineralisation
Gold mineralisation along the Zuleika Shear occurs in all rock types, although historical and recent production is dominated by two predominant styles:
-
Laminated quartz veins containing high grade gold (5-30g/t Au) and associated base metal sulphides (galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, scheelite). Examples of this are the high grade deposits at Kundana; and
-
Quartz vein stockworks developed within granophyric gabbro within the Powder Sill and other intrusives. An example is the very high grade Raleigh Deposit (5-100g/t Au).
9
==> picture [96 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Mineralisation styles vary slightly from mine to mine along the Zuleika Shear indicating localised differences due to variation in rock type and associated minerals. Historically the previous mines have been of a medium to high grade (3-30g/t Au) and occur in clusters. An example of this is the Hornet / Rubicon / Pegasus / Drake / Centenary / North Pit strike line at Kundana which has produced more than 5 million ounces to date.
This mineralisation occurs along a persistent black shale horizon that extends for many kilometres along strike and has been drilled to depths of nearly a kilometre. The total gold endowment of this host rock in this region is approximately 5Moz.

Figure 8: Historic trench discovered along the black shale line at Torian's Zuleika JV Project.
As announced on the 2 December 2015, Torian’s recent drilling has discovered the black shale along strike of Kundana which is located to the South of the company’s projects.
Torian has developed an extensive digital database of historic and current drill results in the region. This data is highly sought after given the location of the drill results to other companies in the near vicinity
The Table below lists the significant (+1g/t Au) results from previous RC drilling at Target 16.
