Company well‐funded from recently oversubscribed Rights Issue

Torian Resources Limited ( Torian or the Company ) is pleased to announce the engagement of a drilling contractor Precision Exploration Drilling ( PXD ). PXD’s expertise in RC drilling and its strong local knowledge of the area, having recently drilled for both Red 5 and Torian (H1 2020), will greatly assist with the Company’s progression of the Mt Stirling Gold Camp.

Torian Executive Director Mt Peretz Schapiro said, “We were very impressed with the work ethic of PXD during our most recent drilling campaign at Mt Stirling and are delighted to have secured their services once again for this exciting campaign. PXD is a professional outfit and we look forward to working with them on the Mt Stirling Gold Camp in 2020 and beyond.

The focus of the upcoming campaign will be to build upon our previous drilling campaign at Mt Stirling, where we learned that the Mt Stirling resource does indeed continue at depth. We will look to further test this depth as well as the extent of the existing recourse.

Particular focus will be to follow up on our previous significant intercepts in the hanging wall zone of 2m at 48 g/t and 4m at 8.84 g/t (refer ASX release 9/6/20).

Drilling at Mt Stirling will be followed by a campaign at Stirling Well, where we will test the extent of the current JORC resource.

Following the drilling campaign at the Stirling Block, drilling will commence at the Diorite Block where we are in the process of planning an 8,000 – 10,000m drilling campaign. The campaign’s targets align with the recent results of rock chip and soil sampling which returned grades of up to 21 g/t Au in and around the historic 73 g/t Diorite King mine, as well as by a detailed exploration following the report prepared by independent geophysical consultants, Southern Geoscience Consultants (ASX announcements ‐ 29 January 2020, 15 April 2020).

We are excited by the coming campaigns, which are a testament to our commitment to systematically explore our tenements.

The Company is in a strong financial position and we will keep the market updated on our exploration efforts.”

Stirling Block Drilling Campaign

Phase 1 drilling gave the Company a great understanding and further pathfinders to follow up on as it has now been demonstrated that the existing resource continues at depth at good grade, and still remains open along strike. The coming campaign will focus around the existing resource, which the Company is seeking to expand. Torian’s hypothesis is that this resource may run to depth similar to the mineralisation at the Gwalia Mine (Figure 2).

Based on an analysis of the Phase 1 drill data using Grade x Width contouring technique, it was 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 follow down and further define the plunge of the mineralization to depth during the Phase 2 program (see Figure 3).

Phase 1 drilling also demonstrated that there appears to be a high‐grade splay (33.10 g/t over 1.0 m) off the Main Zone sitting in the hanging wall (Figure 3 and 4) (refer ASX release 9/6/20). This high‐grade splay seems to correlate with the heart of the Resource (ASX: 22 February 2019) contained within the Oxides facies of the deposit. Future drilling will focus on following this splay to depth in the attempt to define a high‐grade underground shoot for future exploitation.

In addition to the Mt Stirling Trend, during Phase 2 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 outboard of the Stirling Well (see Figure 5 and 6). Torian’s geologists are currently analysing the data and developing a drill layout.

Diorite Block Exploration Planning

The Company’s geological team has begun to plan an initial drilling campaign on the Diorite Block. The soil and rock chip samples will be used in conjunction with gold path‐finder elements including arsenic, bismuth, molybdenum, tellurium, antinomy and tungsten to define drill targets over the Diorite Block.

Further details as to the precise nature of the campaign will be announced to the market in due course.

Diorite Block – Soil Sampling Results

A total of 157 soil samples were collected from the Diorite Block. High grade gold assay values of 5.52 g/t Au (DIS002) and 3.2 g/t Au (DIS001) were collected adjacent to the historic producing Kiora and Meteor mines. A total of 89 soil samples returned anomalous gold values > 5 ppb (refer ASX release 27/2/20).

Figures 7 and 8 shows combined soil sample locations from June 2020 (157 samples) and historically (268 samples) over geochemical imagery of gold and arsenic in soils respectively. Figure 8 demonstrates that gold path finder element arsenic (As) correlates moderately with the gold in soil samples.

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 Leanora, 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:

The Stirling Block to the north which contains two JORC Inferred resources. a. Mt Stirling – 727,000t at 1.45 g/t Au for 33,900oz
b. Stirling Well – 253,500t at 2.01 g/t Au for 16,384oz
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:

The Wombola area to the north
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 world‐class 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.
