  • Company well-funded from recently oversubscribed rights issue

Torian Resources Limited ( Torian or the Company ) is pleased to provide an update on its planned drilling program at the Mt Stirling Gold Project which will commence in coming days at the eastern part of its 100% owned Diorite Block. A review of this area has recently been undertaken resulting in a number of historical gold-in-soil anomalies being uncovered.

This will be followed by drilling on the Mt Stirling Block and the main section of the Diorite Block where excellent high-grade gold results have been returned from soils and rock chip samples (refer to ASX announcement 27 July 2020).

Paul Summers, Executive Chairman Peretz Schapiro, Executive Director Dale Schultz, Non‐Executive Director Matthew Foy, Company Secretary

Torian Executive Director Mr Peretz Schapiro said,As previously announced we have been working on systematically exploring all of our ground to ensure that our exploration programs achieve the greatest possible returns on shareholder funds. The coming program ushers in an exciting phase for our company and our shareholders as we embark on one of our largest and most comprehensive drilling campaigns in recent times.

Our primary objectives for the coming campaign will be to further increase the size of our two mineral resource estimates on the Stirling Block (Mt Stirling and Stirling Well) and to follow up on some of the high grade rock chip and soil samples encountered on the Diorite Block, particularly those found near the historical high grade gold mines such as the Diorite King mine which had a mined grade of 73 g/t Au.

Thanks to our systematic exploration approach, during the planning stages of this campaign, our geological team identified historical soil-in-soil anomalies on the eastern part of the Diorite Block that were never followed-up by previous explorers. It is here that our drilling campaign will commence.

With almost 13 Moz in resources located within the immediate neighbourhood of our Mt Stirling Gold Project including Red 5’s King of the Hills mine (Figure 1), St Barbara’s Gwalia mine and Saracen’s Thunderbox mine, we are confident that this region is a great location to be pursuing new major discoveries.

We look forward to keeping the market updated on our progress.”

Mt Stirling and Mt Stirling Well

Drilling is expected to resume at Mt Stirling in early Q4 2020 following drilling on the Diorite Block.

The Phase 1 drilling program increased the Company’s understanding of the mineralisation and provided further pathfinders to follow up on. It has now been demonstrated that the existing resource continues at depth at good grade ~~,~~ and remains open along strike. The upcoming drilling campaign will focus around the existing resource ~~,~~ which the Company is seeking to expand. Torian’s hypothesis is that this resource may run to a depth similar to the mineralisation at the Gwalia Mine (Figure 4).

Analysis of the Phase 1 drilling data using a Grade x Width contouring technique has determined that the Main Zone mineralisation has a very steep plunge to the northwest. Insufficient holes were drilled at depth during Phase 1 to define the plunge line of the mineralisation. Additional drilling will be completed to the northwest to further define the plunge of the mineralisation during the Phase 2 drilling program (see Figure 5).

The Phase 1 drilling program also demonstrated that there appears to be a high grade splay (1.0m @ 33.10 g/t Au) off the Main Zone sitting in the hanging wall (Figures 5 and 6) (refer ASX release 9 June 2020). This high grade splay seems to correlate with the heart of the resource (ASX release 22 February 2019) contained within the oxides facies of the deposit. Future drilling will focus on following this splay to depth in an attempt to define a high grade underground shoot for future exploitation.

In addition to the Mt Stirling Trend, during Phase 2 drilling a number of holes will be drilled in and around another one of the Company’s existing resources on the Mt Stirling Gold Project; the ‘Stirling Well’ deposit. The objective is to define extensions to this mineralisation and to determine if there are any satellite deposits outlying of the Stirling Well deposit (see Figure 7).

Regional Geological Setting

The Diorite Project tenements are located in the Archaean Yilgarn Craton within the deformed Leonora greenstone belt adjacent to the granite Raeside Batholith. The Leonora area has a long history of gold mining and is the site of three large deposits: Sons of Gwalia, Harbour Lights, and Tower Hill. In terms of past gold production, Sons of Gwalia (115 t of gold) is the fourth largest deposit in the Yilgarn Craton and has been mined almost continuously since 1896 (WITT, 2001).

Lithologically, the Leonora district consists of mafic and ultramafic rocks, interbedded sedimentary units, felsic volcanic units, and late basinal sediments that are intruded by the Raeside Batholith to the west and the Bundarra Batholith to the northeast (Baggot, 2006).

The structural geology of the Leonora district has undergone significant extension, compression, and orogenic collapse. This region is divided by several large shear zones including, the Ursus and Tarmoola Shear Zones within the main northwest-trending greenstone package and the Gwalia (Poker) Shear Zone on the eastern margin of the Raeside Batholith (Figure 4). These shear zones are all early in timing and occurred during a period of extension and uplift of the Raeside Batholith. They were re-activated as sinistral strike-slip shears during the subsequent period of compression (Jones and Witt, 2017).

About Torian:

Torian Resources Ltd (ASX: TNR) is a highly active gold exploration and development company with an extensive and strategic land holding comprising six projects and over 400km² of tenure in the Goldfields Region of Western Australia. All projects are nearby to excellent infrastructure and lie within 50km of major mining towns.

Torian’s flagship Mt Stirling Project is situated approximately 40km NW of Leonora, and neighbours Red 5’s Kind of the Hills mine. The region has recently produced approximately 14M oz of gold from mines such as Tower Hills, Sons of Gwalia, Thunderbox, Harbour Lights and Gwalia.

The Mt Stirling Project consists of 2 blocks:

  1. The Stirling Block to the north which contains two JORC Inferred resources.

  2. a. Mt Stirling – 727,000t at 1.45 g/t Au for 33,900oz

  3. b. Stirling Well – 253,500t at 2.01 g/t Au for 16,384oz

  4. The Diorite Block to the south, home of the historic 73 g/t Diorite King Mine.

Another key project and one of renewed focus for the Company is the Mount Monger Project, located 50 km south east of Kalgoorlie. The Mount Monger goldfield is located within the Kalgoorlie terrane subdivision of the Eastern Goldfields Province. This 3,700-hectare project lies within close vicinity of Silver Lake Resources Ltd’s (ASX: SLR) key asset, the Mount Monger Gold Camp, a prolific part of the Eastern Goldfields district of Western Australia. The Mount Monger Camp had produced more than 1.67Moz in the last 30 years, and more than 330,000 ounces for Silver Lake in in the last 24 months alone.

The project consists of two distinct areas:

  1. The Wombola area to the north

  2. The Mt Dam area to the south

Another project in the Kalgoorlie region is the Zuleika project in which the Company is involved in a JV with Dampier Gold Ltd (ASX: DAU). The Zuleika project is located along the worldclass Zuleika Shear, which is the fourth largest gold producing region in Australia and consistently produces some of the country’s highest grade and lowest cost gold mines. This 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 Evolution’s (ASX: EVN) 1.8Moz Frogs Legs and White Foil deposits.

Torian’s other projects within the Kalgoorlie region include the Bonne Vale and Gibraltar Projects, and its Credo Well JV with Dampier Gold Ltd (ASX: DAU), host of a JORC Inferred resource of 86,419t at 4.41 g/t Au for 12,259 oz.

 No metal equivalents have been used.
 No weighted grade results have been used.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths
and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole
angle is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true
width not known’).
 Not Applicable – no drilling reported.
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.
 Plan views and other diagrams are included in this
document.
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.
 Plan view of gold-in-soils are included in this document.
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.
 All relevant information has been disclosed for these
results as well as historical results and production
within the local region.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions,
 Further exploration has been planned including
exploration drilling as reported in this document.
