Torian Resources Limited (Torian or Company) (ASX:TNR) is pleased to announce the results of a recent RC drilling program at Credo Well, part of the Zuleika JV Project.
The program consisted of a total of 32 holes for 2,221m and was designed to infill previous RC drilling and to test the extent of mineralisation surrounding modest historic mining in the area. No holes to date have been drilled deeper than 170m.
2. Credo Well
Credo Well forms part of Torian’s Zuleika JV project and is located approximately 10km west of Paddington, 5km northeast of Mt Pleasant and some 20km north of Kundana. The area comprises some 16km[2] of the Zuleika projects total 222km[2] and can be seen in Figure 1 below.

3. Regional Geology
Credo Well lies in the Ora Banda Domain, within the Kalgoorlie Terrane of the Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone Belt. Local rocks include mafic and ultramafic volcanics and their high-level intrusive equivalents. The sequence appears to be approximately 10km thick.
In detail the rocks comprise the Bent Tree Basalt, the Victorious Basalt and Black Flag Group. The Bent Tree Basalt consists of massive tholeiitic flows with doleritic phases. The tholeiitic Victorious Basalt displays porphyritic and variolitic textures and the Black Flag Group comprises felsic to intermediate volcanic, epiclasitic and sedimentary rocks.
The major mafic-intrusive packages of the sequence are the Mt Ellis and Mt Pleasant sills, positioned at the base of the volcano-sedimentary package. The Mt Ellis Sill comprises a layered pyroxenite to quartz-gabbro and the more aerially extensive Mt Pleasant Sill is a layered peridotite to quartz-gabbro. The Liberty Granodiorite is the dominant felsic intrusive with minor, multiple phases of more widely distributed felsic porphyries. Dolerites and gabbroic sills, relatively large quartz-feldspar porphyries and syenitic to granitic bodies all intrude the basalt, incorporating a larger component of the unit than previously recognised. The sequence displays well preserved igneous structures and textures, including cumulate textures in the layered intrusions, pillows structures and varioles in basalts. Metamorphism ranges from low to mid-greenschist facies, characterised by a high degree of primary textural preservation.

4. Drilling Program
The drilling program comprised of 32 RC holes for a total of 2,221m. The program targeted the Credo Well underground workings which is the most advanced prospect within the Project. These holes were designed to infill previous RC drilling with the deepest hole completed by Torian being 120m. Most holes were drilled towards 310 degrees magnetic however, due to access issues around historic dumps, thick trees and underground workings, some holes were drilled in the opposite direction.

Several of the holes intersected values between 0.5 and 1g/t Au.
These results are very encouraging and cement Credo Well as a priority target for the 2017 exploration season. The planning of further drilling is now underway. Future drill programs will focus on not only Credo Well but also the lesser explored Fidelitas and Fortis prospects. The location of these can be seen in Figure 2 above.

5. Interpretation
Based upon the assays received to date, Torian’s preliminary interpretations are:
-
Credo Well remains open at depth and along strike;
-
the discovery of the footwall vein demonstrates there is more potential that requires further investigation; and
-
there are several other high grade targets at Credo Well that have only been lightly explored.
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.
6. Next Steps
Over the next two months Torian plans the following works at Credo Well:
-
Carry out further interpretation of current and historical drilling;
-
Conduct geological, structural engineering and metallurgical studies; and
-
Plan additional RC and diamond drilling to determine the extent of the mineralisation.
7. Commentary
Torian’s Managing Director, Matthew Sullivan said:
“These results are very encouraging and demonstrate the potential of this region. We are building a better understanding of the gold mineralisation at Credo Well. Further drilling will be required to close off the mineralisation and refine various details of the geological model, including the location and geometry of the hanging wall vein”.

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 86% via eight separate acquisitions. Torian is now the second largest landholder in this sought-after region and is focused on fast tracking its development.
Torian has commenced a large 55,000m 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.
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.
