Strategic “fit” with existing tenements
ASX CODE: TNR
Torian Resources Ltd ( Torian or Company ) (ASX:TNR) is pleased to announce the acquisition of a new tenement at Wombola on its Kalgoorlie East Project. This tenement was held by a prospector and the company’s existing tenure completely surrounded the tenement, making this a strategic acquisition.
This area contains several historic workings with remnant dumps and stockpiles as well as a significant amount of potential in the bedrock below. The Company sees this tenement as a natural fit with the current strategy of early stage gold production.

1 Geolo g y and Mineralisation
The Wombola area contains north to northeast striking mainly Archaean mafic volcanics and subvolcanics. There are several prominent shears oriented in several directions. The dolerite lithologies also have been known to contain stockwork gold mineralisation, whilst the shears are more typical quartz veined style mineralisation.
This tenement contains the historic Wombola, Hoffmann and Royal Oak mines that has recorded produced more than 1,000oz of gold from several shallow workings between 1906 and 1942. This is shown in the table below.
Table 1 Recorded Production from P26/4089 at Wombola
| Mine | Tons | Oz | tonnes | g/t Au | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rainbow | 235.50 | 34.17 | 239.28 | 4.44 | 1940‐1 |
| Wombola | 43.50 | 18.56 | 44.20 | 13.06 | 1939‐40 |
| Hoffmann | 1154.00 | 364.61 | 1172.52 | 9.67 | 1934‐6 |
| Kalgoorlie and Boulder Firewood Coy | 1126.20 | 546.48 | 1144.27 | 14.85 | 1906‐9 |
| Royal Oak | 245.00 | 97.82 | 248.93 | 12.22 | 1906‐7 |
| Total | **1,061.64 ** | 2,849.20 | 11.59 |

2 Previous Exploration
Previous exploration has been surprisingly light and has consisted mainly of geological mapping, prospecting, soil sampling and a brief RC drilling programme. The position of the holes is shown in the map below.

| 12NMRC183 | 31 | 32 | 1 | 7.66 |
| 12NMRC193 | 24 | 26 | 2 | 1.53 |
These gold intersections are all relatively shallow, and almost none are actually in fresh bedrock. Of interest, there is no drilling south of the Hoffmann Shaft, with almost 200m of strike untested on this tenement alone. In addition, the 60m by 25m pattern completed to date is relatively wide spaced given the nature of the known gold mineralisation.

Matthew Sullivan Managing Director
About Torian:
Torian Resources Ltd (ASX:TNR) is a highly active gold exploration and development company. The Company has amassed a large and strategic landholding comprising of 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. Torian’s Zuleika project comprises approximately 223km² of tenure making Torian one of the largest landholder in this sought after region.
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 making Torian one of the most active gold explorers on the ASX.
Competent Person:
Information in this report pertaining to mineral resources and exploration results was compiled by Mr MP Sullivan who is a member of Aus.I.M.M.
