INDEPENDENT REVIEW REINFORCES POTENTIAL OF TORIAN’S KALGOORLIE REGION PROJECTS

Strategic review of extensive WA portfolio gathers momentum

Highlights

  • Independent assessment of four Kalgoorlie Region projects completed by BM Geological Services Pty Ltd.

  • Preliminary Exploration Targets completed.

  • Results will feed into recently commenced strategic review of Torian’s WA portfolio.

  • Credo Well and Zuleika confirmed as core exploration projects – review of historical exploration data underway.

  • Discussions underway with potential JV partners on other assets.

Torian Resources Ltd (ASX: TNR ) ( Torian or the Company ) is pleased to advise that it has taken further key steps as part of its recently announced strategy to rationalise its extensive Western Australian gold exploration portfolio and focus on the highly prospective Credo Well and Zuleika Projects near Kalgoorlie.

The Company appointed BM Geological Services Pty Ltd in November 2018 to carry out an independent review of its three key project hubs – Mt Keith, Leonora and Kalgoorlie (see Figure 1).

This body of work has resulted in the completion of initial JORC Resource estimates for the Mt Stirling and Malcolm prospects near Leonora ( see ASX release, 25 February 2019 ); Exploration Targets for the Mt Keith prospect and the Calypso prospect at Leonora ( see ASX release, 22 February 2019 ); and now Exploration Targets for several prospects within the immediate Kalgoorlie region, as reported in this announcement.

The Company has been progressing a technical review of its assets using both geological and geophysical data and, together with the results of the independent review undertaken by BM Geological Services, is now refining its planned exploration strategy over the next 12 months.

Torian Resources’ Managing Director, Mark Borman, said the Company had assembled one of the most strategic land‐holdings to be secured by a junior company in the Eastern Goldfields over the past five years, with a portfolio now spanning some 530 square kilometres across two core areas in the Kalgoorlie and Leonora mining districts.

“Our focus now is to crystallise this large ground position into projects which we want to pursue in our right, for the benefit of our shareholders, and projects which are best suited to be advanced via external funding or partnerships, but where we can retain some exposure to potential future exploration success,” he said.

“In terms of core assets, we have a strategic position along the world‐class Zuleika Shear, which has consistently produced some of Australia’s highest grade and lowest cost gold mines. Our Zuleika Project lies immediately north of some of WA’s best gold deposits in Northern Star’s 7Moz East Kundana Joint Venture and Evolution’s 1.8Moz Frog’s Leg and White Foil deposits.

“Meanwhile, at Credo Well in the North Kalgoorlie area, we have a highly prospective ground‐holding which has yielded numerous ore grade intercepts over a wide area both from our own and from historical drilling. There could be no better place to go hunting for major new gold discoveries than these two world‐class addresses, and these projects will undoubtedly form part of the Company’s core exploration focus moving forward.

“At the same time, we hold a number of other projects across the Kalgoorlie District, some of which have been evaluated by BM Geological Services in terms of their geological potential. While the quality of the drilling data was in some cases not sufficient to produce more than Exploration Targets under the JORC Code, the BMGS reports have given us some valuable independent data to assist in refining our exploration strategy.

“Moving forward, we have already initiated discussions on certain projects with potential joint venture partners and our exploration team is now focusing on reviewing all the recent and historical data for Zuleika and Credo Well in order to refine our exploration strategy moving forward.”

Kalgoorlie District Project Review

The Kalgoorlie Region is contained within the 2.7Ga late Archaean Eastern Goldfield Superterrane, the eastern division of the Archean Yilgarn Craton. Torian Resources’ projects, located within a 60km radius of Kalgoorlie, cover a total area of approximately 218km[2] – most of which has received little modern exploration despite being located within one of the world’s largest gold producing areas.

Following successful reconnaissance exploration programs completed during 2016‐2018, which confirmed multiple prospects and demonstrated potential for a large gold deposits, the Company has prepared an Exploration Target encompassing four of its Kalgoorlie Region Projects (Credo Well, Mt Pleasant, Gibraltar and Mt Monger) and incorporating both historical drilling results and drilling undertaken by Torian (Figure 2).

Figure 2 – Kalgoorlie Region Project Locations

Page | 3

The current Exploration Target for these prospects is estimated to be between 530,000 and 720,000 tonnes at a grade of 1.14 to 1.54 g/t gold and 120,000 and 160,000 tonnes at a grade of 1.05 and 1.41% copper (Table 1).

The Exploration Target for the Credo Well, Mt Pleasant, Gibraltar and Mt Monger Projects, describing the potential quantity and grade, is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration completed to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is unclear if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

The Exploration Target tonnage estimate has been determined by available new and historical Air‐ core and RC drilling. The majority of the historical data has been sourced from printed reports and entered directly into the digital database from drill logs, assay sheets, collar files, cross‐sections and underground plans and from open file digital data.

Where more than one gold or copper assay was recorded, repeat and duplicate results were not used. Wireframes were digitised in Surpac, and data from old workings was digitised from mine plans and cross sections, with volumes removed from wireframes.

Bulk density has been applied according to the oxidation state of the material, oxide 2.0t/m[3] , transitional 2.4t/m[3] and fresh 2.7t/m[3] . The Exploration Target grade estimate is based upon drilling results. Historical QAQC data was not available.

Credo Well Project

The Credo Well Project is located ~35km north‐west of Kalgoorlie, within the Kalgoorlie Terrane of the Norseman‐Wiluna greenstone belt, forming the southern portion of the Ora Banda domain.

The Credo Well Project has undergone limited historical exploration, spanning several generations, which has resulted in the definition of a number of prospective gold targets including Credo Well, Fortis and Fidelitas (see Figure 3 below), demonstrating the potential for both supergene and primary gold mineralisation across the project.

Figure 3 – Credo Well Project, Targets and Geology

At the Credo Well prospect, located in the north‐west of the project, mineralisation is hosted within steeply dipping quartz‐pyrite veins within a sheared mafic package including basalt, dolerite and gabbro. The Exploration Target is centred on a group of north‐east trending historical workings at Credo Well which are reported to have produced 835 tonnes @ 39.7g/t Au between 1897 and 1919.

The Exploration Target has been defined using 76 RC drill‐holes completed across the project to date. Sectional interpretations of geology, oxidation and mineralisation of the 80 x 40m to 40 x 20m RC drilling was digitised in Surpac and used to create wireframes.

Page | 5

Volumes were then calculated and assumed densities applied to calculate the tonnage. Grades are based on the drill‐hole information. The Exploration Target is set out in Table 1 above.

Highlights from drilling conducted by Torian the Main Zone at Credo Well include:

  • 4m @ 32.51g/t Au from 27m, including;  2m @ 57.05g/t Au from 29m;

  • 4m @ 6.66g/t Au from 70m, including;

  • 2m @ 12.40g/t Au from 70m;

Torian’s drilling also resulted in a new discovery in the hanging wall of the Main Zone:

o 1m @ 68.50g/t Au from 39m

Historical drilling intersections from Credo Well include:

  • 3m @ 16.46g/t Au from 54m (main vein);

  • o 1m @ 58.80g/t Au from 1m (main vein); o 5m @7.42g/t Au from 39 (hanging wall vein); and o 8m @10.47g/t Au from 61m (main vein).

Additional drilling is warranted to identify the extent of the gold mineralisation at the various prospects identified to date, with Torian having only completed initial drill testing of the Credo Well Prospect itself.

Historical intersections from the Fidelitas prospect include:

  • 1m @ 27.5g/t Au from 34m (main)

  • o 6m @ 10.13 g/t Au from 0m (west) o 2m @ 16.0 g/t Au from 56m (west) o 7m @ 3.22g/t Au from 46m (west) o 6m @ 2.28 g/t Au from 25m (south) o 6m @ 19.59 g/t Au from 45m (south) o 5m @ 10.0 g/t Au from 40m (south)

Historical intersections from Fortis include:

  • 7m @ 5.26 g/t Au from 42m

  • 3m @ 7.55 g/t Au from 41m (north)

  • o 5m @ 3.55 g/t Au from 55m (NORTH)

Drilling has been planned to not only to in‐fill the previous work completed at the Credo Well deposit, but also to follow up positive historical results at Credo East, Fidelitas, Fortis and other areas of the project, where there is potential for not only primary mineralisation but supergene and palaeo‐ channel style mineralisation.

Mt Pleasant Project

Golden Buckle (Au) and Coppermine Deposits (Cu)

The Mt Pleasant Project, situated adjacent to the Credo Well Project, occurs within a greenstone belt on the southeast flank of the Liberty Granodiorite and is on the axis of the Goongarrie‐Mt. Pleasant Anticline within the Mt. Pleasant Sill.

Historical drilling intercepts from the Golden Buckle and Copper Mine prospects at Credo Well (see Figures 6, 7 and 8) are set out below:

  • Historical intersections from Golden Buckle include:

  • 1m @ 15.6 g/t Au from 31m

  • o 2m @ 8.57 g/t Au from 21m o 2m @ 6.55 g/t Au from 22m o 1m @ 8.55 g/t Au from 24m o 1m @ 9.45 g/t Au from 32m o 1m @ 8.35 g/t Au from 29m o 1m @ 12.60 g/t Au from 40m

  • Historical intersections from Copper Mine include:

  • 2.44m @ 10.88 % Cu and 13.06 g/t Ag from 85.04m

  • 1.31m @ 4.45 % Cu and 52.87 g/t Ag from 84.03m

  • 3.66m @ 5.33 % Cu and 107.92 g/t Ag from 70.41m

  • 4.57m @ 7.73 % Cu and 2.41 g/t Ag from 51.82m

  • 9.14m @ 19.6 % Cu and 7.80 g/t Ag from 59.44m

  • 3m @ 5.41 % Cu and 25.60 g/t Ag from 52m

Figure 7: Representative Cross‐Section through Golden Buckle

The surface expression of the mineralised unit at Coppermine shows generally as sparse copper carbonate and oxide staining on ferruginous, siliceous gossans or in iron‐rich quartz veins or pods. The host rocks are a thin unit of black shale, phyllite and possibly tuffaceous metasediments. A series of narrow quartz porphyry intrusions crops out near the heavier‐stained gossans.

Mineralisation is sufficiently continuous from drill‐hole to drill‐hole and from line to line, to allow an estimation of cupriferous and auriferous targets to be made. Drill‐hole spacing ranges from 4 to 30m, with a majority in the 7 to 10m range; lines of drill‐holes vary between 10 and 20m apart, with a majority between 10 and 17.5m. 70 RC drill‐holes were used in the calculation of the copper target, whilst 48 RC drill‐holes define the gold target.

Sectional interpretations of geology, oxidation and mineralisation was digitised in Surpac and used to create wireframes. Volumes were then calculated. Assumed densities were applied the volume and tonnage was calculated. Grades are based on the drill‐hole information. The Exploration Target is set out in Table 1 above.

There is a good potential for other, similar bodies and possibly a greater potential for larger, dispersed gold and copper mineralisation in oxide and primary sulphide zones to be found elsewhere on the tenement as suggested by soil anomalies. One identified but untested target is the area covered by laterite in the north.

Some of the targets already drilled may not have been examined deeply enough as it appears that near‐surface leaching has occurred here. Other areas anomalous in gold, copper or both, remain untested.

Page | 10

The structural complexity of the area may also have contributed to the incomplete understanding of the geology as mentioned above and further detailed interpretation is needed. To date, less than 20% of the surface area of the potentially mineralised and brecciated metasediments has been investigated with any degree of detail.

Gibraltar Project

Gibraltar East (Au)

The geology of the Coolgardie area comprises Archaean mafic to ultramafic lithologies, intruded by granitoid bodies. Extensive thrust faulting of the greenstone packages has resulted in structural complexity and multiple stacking/repetition of basal contact zones.

  • Historic intersections from Gibraltar include:

  • 2m @ 2.62 g/t Au from 24m

  • 1m @ 9.50 g/t Au from 32m

  • 1m @ 3.59 g/t Au from 16m

  • 1m @ 3.16 g/t Au from 37m

  • 3m @ 9.70 g/t Au from 27m

  • 1m @ 12.20 g/t Au from 43m

  • 1m @ 8.33 g/t Au from 49m

Sectional interpretation of geology, oxidation and mineralisation was digitised in Surpac and used to create wireframes. Volumes were then calculated. Assumed densities were applied and the volume and tonnage calculated. Grades are based on the assay information from 28 RC drill‐holes, drilled on a nominal 40 x 20m spaced grid. The Exploration Target is set out in Table 1 above. The target has been inadequately tested at depth, and warrants additional drilling.

Historical intersections from Wombola include:

o 3m @ 3.80 g/t Au from 1m o 2m @ 1.78 g/t Au from 33m o 2m @ 1.15 g/t Au from 16m o 3m @ 2.64 g/t Au from 44m o 1m @ 7.66 g/t Au from 31m o 2m @ 1.53 g/t Au from 24m

The methodology for the estimation is as for the other targets reported in this document, and the Exploration Target is set out in Table 1 above. Previous drilling, although on a 50 x 20m spacing, has inadequately tested the deposit as drilling was to a maximum depth of 54m, and planning of future exploration programs is in progress, to test depth and strike extensions of known mineralisation.

Samples from the Torian Resources drilling
programme were collected via Reverse Circulation

All drilling yielded samples on a metre basis. The
initial samples from this drilling were composited
into intervals of 4m. Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling
is utilised to obtain 1 m samples which are riffle split,
from which approx. 2‐3 kg is pulverised to produce a
40g charge for fire assay. The individual 1m samples
for the anomalous intervals have been submitted to
the lab and will be reported once the assays are
received.

Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure used
for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in
detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.

If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (eg ‘down hole length, true
_width not known’). _
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a
plan view of drill hole collar locations
and appropriate sectional views.
This information has been previously announced to the
ASX, and are also included in this report
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low
and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
Both high and low grades have been previously
reported accurately to the ASX
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical
test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious
or contaminating substances.
The areas have been subject to previous exploration as
detailed on the Western Australian Department of
Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety website

extensions or depth extensions or
large‐scale step‐out drilling).

areas of possible extensions, including
the main geological interpretations
and future drilling areas, provided

Planning of future work programs is in progress, with
RC drilling and possibly diamond drilling to follow up
the Exploration Targets outlined in this report and also
to evaluate the remaining prospect areas not tested by
previous programs
