ASX RELEASE
TORIAN CONFIRMS HIGH GRADE MINERALISATION AT PARADIGM EAST
1. HIGHLIGHTS
-
Infill RC drilling now completed (7 holes, 526m) at Paradigm East;
-
Best intersection 4m @ 9.32g/t Au from 24m;
-
Paradigm East has been tested along a strike of 250m;
-
There is evidence of a second parallel zone lying about 50m south; and
-
Both zones remain open along strike to the southeast.
Torian Resources Ltd ( ASX:TNR ) ( Torian or Company ) is pleased to provide an update on the recent RC drilling program at Paradigm East; part of the Company’s Zuleika Project. The drill program comprised seven holes for a total of 526 metres and was designed to infill the central portion of Paradigm East to a spacing of 20m by 40m. The holes were sampled as 4m composites however single metre samples have now been submitted to the lab for assay.
Results to date show that gold mineralisation continues from Northern Star’s (ASX:NST) Paradigm Prospect onto Torian’s Zuleika Project tenure at Paradigm East and remains open at depth and along strike to the south east. There are also several other high priority targets surrounding Paradigm, particularly to the north and south, that have only been lightly explored. Further exploration is warranted and the Company has already commenced planning for the next exploration program.

2. ZULEIKA PROJECT
2.1 Introduction
The Company’s 100% owned Zuleika Project consists of 125 tenements covering approximately 223km[2] north, and partly along strike, of several major gold deposits. The Zuleika Project is located 40km northwest of Kalgoorlie and is accessed by 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. Additionally, Zijin, China’s largest gold producer, is extremely active with mining operations in this region, two of which immediately adjoin Torian’s tenements
2.2 Regional Geology
The Zuleika 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 units occur at the base of the sequence, overlain by the felsic volcanic to volcaniclastic rocks.
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.

2.3 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, and chalcopyrite) and other minerals (such as 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).
Mineralisation styles vary slightly from mine to mine along the Zuleika Shear indicating localised differences due to various rocks and associated minerals. Historically the previous mines have been of a medium to high grade (3-30g/t Au) and occur in clusters, for example the Hornet / Rubicon / Pegasus / Drake / Centenary / North Pit strike line at Kundana which has produced more than 5 million ounces to date.
As previously announced, Torian has developed an extensive digital database of historic and current drill results in the region. The digital data compilation remains incomplete at present, however work continues.

3. PARADIGM EAST
Torian’s Paradigm East target forms part of the Company’s 100% owned Zuleika Project. Paradigm East lies approximately 2km east of Northern Star Resources Ltd’s (ASX:NST) Paradigm Prospect. The local geology at Paradigm East is concealed by a 5-20m thick blanket of alluvium and soil. This is likely to have masked the response from previous soil sampling. This target is associated with a sheared gabbro/epiclastic sedimentary contact that strikes approximately east-west.
Previous exploration in this area was completed between 2000 and 2016 and consisted of auger soil sampling, followed up by vertical RAB drilling on a 200m by 40m pattern. Several +1g/t Au intersections were located in these historic holes. More recent follow up drilling has consisted of angled RC drilling and a single diamond drill hole. Most of these holes were angled towards the south, but some were angled towards 025[O] magnetic.
The previous drilling was successful in identifying a saprolite gold target with the best intersection being 4m @ 16.11g/t Au from 42m in hole DQRC004. Field inspection of this hole shows this mineralisation is hosted in a quartz veined highly sheared and weathered gabbro. Several other intervals in this hole contained 0.5-5g/t Au values, with other historic holes ending in mineralisation.

3.1 Current Drilling Results:
The table below lists 4m composite assays from the new holes drilled showing significant (+1g/t Au) values from the recent drilling at Paradigm East. Several other holes intersected values between 0.5 and 1g/t Au. Many holes ended in mineralisation. These results represent 4m composite samples and individual 1m samples have now been submitted to the lab for fire assay for these and other anomalous intervals.

Figure 6: Northern Star’s recent drilling results adjacent to Torian’s tenure.
The Paradigm area contains a small open pit and underground operation that was active before 2000. Torian’s Zuleika Project has possible strike extensions of approximately 4.5km north and up to 1km south of Paradigm. There is no drilling known in the northern zone and very wide spaced drilling in the south. This wide spaced drilling has outlined several anomalous zones in the 0.5-1g/t Au range, with a best hole from historic drilling being SGRC005 which intersected 1m @ 2.75g/t Au from 38m (5792mE, 16355mN, 411mRL, the hole was drilled to 150m at minus 60 degrees towards 225 degrees magnetic).
This target will receive further drilling once the present geophysical interpretation is completed.
4. INTERPRETATION
Based upon the assays received to date, Torian’s preliminary interpretations are:
-
Gold mineralisation continues onto Torian’s tenure at Paradigm East;
-
The mineralisation discovered remains open at depth and along strike to the south east;
-
There are several other high priority targets surrounding Paradigm, particularly to the north and south, that have only been lightly explored; and
-
Further exploration is warranted to test these and other targets.
7
==> picture [89 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
Geological interpretation is showing the rocks in this area to be more complex than previously understood. This added complexity is encouraging and suggests potential for additional mineralisation styles to be present away from the main vein structure.
5. NEXT STEPS
Over the next few months Torian plans the following work:
-
Carry out further interpretation of current and historical drilling;
-
Plan and seek approval for reconnaissance RAB drilling at Paradigm North; and
-
Plan additional RC drilling to determine the extent of the mineralisation at Paradigm East.
6. COMMENTARY
Matthew Sullivan, Torian’s MD comments:
“These results reinforce Torian’s geological interpretation of the region, especially the definition of the target at Paradigm East.
Planning for the next drilling programs to the North, South and East of Paradigm have now commenced. These areas represent exciting prospects for the Company.
The wide spaced nature of the holes means that these results are very encouraging and further work will be planned for Phase 2 exploration of these targets.”

About Torian:
Torian Resources Ltd (ASX:TNR) is a highly active gold exploration and development company. Following the acquisition of Cascade Resources Ltd on 23 May 2017, the Company has a large and strategic landholding comprising eight projects and over 500km² of tenure located in the Goldfields Region of Western Australia.
Torian’s flagship project, Zuleika, is located along the world class Zuleika Shear. The Zuleika Shear is the fourth largest gold producing region in Australia and consistently produces some of the country’s highest grade and lowest cost gold mines. Torian’s Zuleika project lies north and partly along strike of several major gold deposits including Northern Star’s (ASX:NST) 7.0Moz East Kundana Joint Venture and Evolutions (ASX:EVN) 1.8Moz Frogs Legs and White Foil deposits.
The Zuleika Shear has seen significant corporate activity of late with over A$1 Billion worth of acquisition in the region by major mining companies. Since May 2015, Torian has increased its landholding by approximately 86% along the Zuleika Shear via eight separate acquisitions. The total land position at the Zuleika project is now approximately 223km² making Torian the second largest landholder in this highly sought after region.
Torian’s exploration team has an enviable track record of exploration success which includes the discovery of some of Australia’s largest gold mines. Last year Torian drilled 59,345m for a total of 1,319 holes across its projects. The large drilling campaign tested 26 exploration targets and, importantly, made four gold discoveries. This makes Torian one of the most active gold explorers on the ASX.
2017 is set to be another big year for the company. As one of the ASX’s most active gold explorers we offer new shareholders significant leverage to exploration success.
