Diorite North Drill Update
A total of 6 holes (DIRC030-35) have so far been drilled at Unexpected Estera Lode (for 669m), with three extensional holes (DIRC032-34) completed to extend strike of mineralisation SE and NW.
A single hole has also been completed (DIRC035) targeting high-grade zone down-dip continuity, with encouraging signs that system continues at depth. Trace pyrrhotite has been identified, providing vectoring geophysical potential to mineralisation.

Photo 1 : Sunset from Diorite North Unexpected Mine workings
==> picture [452 x 209] intentionally omitted <==
����������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Mine that produced at 76 g/t Au per tonne, and the incredibly rich Little Wonder Mine located 2km south, ��������������������� 5 tonnes of ore yielded an astounding 950 oz of gold .
Little Wonder Mine
The Little Wonder was discovered in 1894 and shallow depth mining produced a phenomenal 1000 oz per tonne from its early years of production.
A significant deep timbered shaft remains on the western slope of the ridge, with an adit into the Mine workings further south-east.
Diorite King Mine
Diorite King Mine located on the Old Agnew Road, operated from 1897 through to 1922 with a historical grade of 76 g/t Au per tonne.
The tenor of grade which is rumoured to remain at the Mine (17.67 g/t Au), is on par with the recently discovered Estera Lode high-grade drill intercepts; which in conjunction with proximity further weighs on the structural and stratigraphical links conceptualised.
Gold mineralisation is hosted in quartz veining and brittle mafic contacts.
Unexpected Workings
The Unexpected Workings were active during 1922 through to 1923, with an average grade of 47.2 g/t from 119.38 tonnes processed.
Torian is pleased to inform that fieldwork beyond the currently prioritised and approved drill programs, continue through exploration at Stirling Well West towards Hydra (pXRF and AV drill planning); Mt Stirling Central (AV drill planning); and logistical preparations for its muchly anticipated Diorite King and Little Wonder maiden drill phases.
The � Unexpected Mine � workings and Diorite King, Diorite Queen and Kiaora-Meteor prospects all share structural links. They contribute to the structural understanding of Little Wonder / Diorite King and structural corridor(s) perspectivity between and beyond Historical Mine locations.
Mt Stirling Drilling update
In addition to the 6 drill holes for 669m drilled at Diorite North Estera Lode, the Company has also advanced drilling at Hydra with 3 drill holes completed for 352m.
A further 2 drill sections will be drilled at Hydra.
Tyrannus earthworks are now complete, with Rig1 expected to begin maiden RC phase midweek.
A second rig is mobilising to site by the end of this week, and will begin defining the shallow portion of Mt Stirling SE extension and selective deeper targeted Mt Stirling/Viserion planned drilling.

Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
� Drilling results reported from previous and current exploration completed by Torian Resources Ltd and historical explorers. � Reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m split samples from which 2-3kg was pulverised to produce a 500g tub for Photon assay; and/or a 50g Fire Assay. Sampling has been carried out to company methodology and QA/QC to industry best practice. Zones of interest were 1m split sampled, and comp spear sampling was carried out on interpreted barren zones. Samples were dispatched to MinAnalytical in Kalgoorlie / Nagrom Laboratory in Kelmscott; were prep included sorting, drying and pulverisation for a 500gm Photon Assay (PAAU02) and/or a 50g Fire Assay (FA50) � Surface soil sample locations are directly analysed using a Niton XL5portable XRF analyser (pXRF). Drill sample pXRF measurements are obtained from the primary split �����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������h the green mining bag. � Calibration on the pXRF is carried out daily when used, with the instrument also serviced and calibrated as required. Standards and blank material are also used under Torians QAQC protocols in line with industry standard practice and fit for purpose. � Exploration results reported are pXRF preliminary results which are superceded by laboratory analysis when available. |
| Drilling techniques |
� Historical drilling techniques include reverse circulation (RC) drilling. Standard industry techniques have been used where documented. Current RC drilling was carried out by PXD and Orlando utilising a Schramm truck and track mounted rig respectively. � The more recent RC drilling utilised a face sampling hammer with holes usually 155mm in diameter. |
| Drill sample recovery Logging |
� Drill recovery has not been routinely recorded on historical work, and is captured for all recent drilling. |
| � Geological logs are accessible and have been examined over the priority prospect areas. The majority of the logging is of high quality and has sufficiently captured key geological attributes including lithology, weathering, alteration and veining. � ·Logging is qualitative in nature, to company logging coding. � ·All samples / intersections have been logged. 100% of relevant length intersections have been logged. |
|
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
� Standard industry sampling practices have been undertaken by the historical exploration companies. Appropriate analytical methods have been used considering the style of mineralisation being sought. � Sample sizes are considered appropriate. |
-
QC/QC data is absent in the historical data with the exception of the more recent Torian drilling, where sample standards and blanks are routinely used.
-
In the more recent Torian drilling duplicate samples (same sample duplicated) were commonly inserted for every 20 samples taken. Certified Reference Materials (CRM's), blanks and duplicates, are included and analysed in each batch of samples.
-
pXRF sampling is fit for purpose as a preliminary exploration technique, with data being acquired and compiled into an extensive regional database.
-
pXRF readings have a diminished precision due to grain size effect (homogeneity) when obtained from naturally occurring settings. The Competent Person considers this diminished precision acceptable within the context of reporting exploration results.
-
Quality of assay � The historical drill sample gold assays are a combination of Fire Assay and Aqua Regia. The assay techniques and detection limits are appropriate for the included results. data and � Various independent laboratories have assayed samples from the historical explorers drilling. In general they were internationally accredited for QAQC in mineral analysis.
-
laboratory tests
-
Various independent laboratories have assayed samples from the historical explorers drilling. In general they were internationally accredited for QAQC in mineral analysis.
-
The laboratories inserted blank and check samples for each batch of samples analysed and reports these accordingly with all results.
-
Reference Photon pulps have been submitted to Nagrom Laboratory, in order to verify MinAnalytical mineralised assays accuracy and precision.
-
Samples were analysed for gold via a 50 gram Lead collection fire assay and Inductively Coupled Plasma optical (Atomic) Emission Spectrometry to a detection limited of 0.005ppm Au.
-
Intertek Genalysis routinely inserts analytical blanks, standards and duplicates into the client sample batches for laboratory QAQC performance monitoring.
-
The laboratory QAQC has been assessed in respect of the RC chip sample assays and it has been determined that the levels of accuracy and precision relating to the samples are acceptable.
-
Where pXRF analysis reported, field analysis only; laboratory assay not yet carried out.
-
A portable Niton XL5 instrument was used to measure preliminary quantitative amounts of associated mineralisation elements. Reading time of 30 seconds, over grid survey grid position, or drill metre interval respective green bags
-
Daily calibration of pXRF conducted with standards and silica blanks.
-
Verification of � The historical and current drill intercepts reported have been calculated using a 0.5g/t Au cut-off, with a maximum 2m internal waste. sampling and � Documentation of primary data is field log sheets (handwritten) or logging to laptop templates. Primary data is entered into application specific data base. The data base is assaying subjected to data verification program, erroneous data is corrected. Data storage is retention of physical log sheet, two electronic backup storage devices and primary electronic database.
-
pXRF analytical data obtained has been downloaded by digital transfer to working excel sheets inclusive of QAQC data. Data is checked by technical personnel and uploaded to drill hole or grid survey respective files, in preparation for database import.
-
Location of data � Drill hole collars were located using a handheld GPS system. The coordinated are stored in a digital exploration database and are referenced to MGA Zone 51 Datum GDA 94. points
-
Location of the majority of the historical drill holes has been using a handheld GPS system, or local grids that have been converted to MGA Zone 51 Datum GDA 94. Survey control used is handheld GPS for historic holes and
-
The more recent Torian drilling has been located utilising a differential GPS and the majority of these holes have been surveyed downhole.
-
The historical drill spacing is variable over the project as depicted on map plan diagrams.
| Data spacing and distribution |
� Sample compositing has been used in areas where mineralisation is not expected to be intersected. If results return indicate mineralisation, 1m split samples were submitted for analysis. |
|---|---|
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
� The orientation of the drilling is not at right angles to the known mineralisation trend and so gives a misrepresentation of the true width of mineralisation intersected. � Efforts to counteract to as reasonably as perpendicular to interpreted controlling mineralisation structures and trends has gone into drill planning. � No sampling bias is believed to occur due to the orientation of the drilling. |
| Sample security | � Drill samples were compiled and collected by Torian employees/contractors. All sample were bagged into calico bags and tied. Samples were transported from site to the MinAnalytical laboratory in Kalgoorlie and Nagrom laboratory in Kelmscott by Torian employees/contractors. � A sample submission form containing laboratory instructions was submitted to the laboratory. The sample submission form and sample summary digitised records were compiled and reviewed so as to check for discrepancies. |
| Audits or reviews | � A review of historical data over the main Mt Stirling and Stirling Well Prospects has been undertaken. The QA/QC on data over the remainder of the project tenements is ongoing. |

| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
� Diorite East is located on P37/8857 held by Torian Resources Limited, and Diorite North on P37/8868 and forms part of the Mt Stirling Joint Venture. This tenement is held by a third party on behalf of the Joint Venture. Torian Resources is the Manager of the Joint Venture and holds executed transfers which will permit this tenement becoming the property of the Joint Venture. � The tenements are in good standing. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
� Previous exploration completed by Torian Resources Ltd and historical explorers including Hill Minerals and Jupiter Mines Ltd. |
| Geology | � The Mt Stirling Project tenements are located 40 km northwest of Leonora within the Mt Malcolm District of the Mt Margaret Mineral Field. � The project tenements are located within the Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone Belt in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. |
-
The project tenements cover a succession of variolitic, pillowed high Mg basalts that have been intruded by syenogranites/monzogranites.
-
Historical prospecting and exploration activities have identified areas of gold mineralisation at various prospects. The orogenic style gold mineralisation appears in different manifestations at each of the prospects.
-
At the Mt Stirling Prospect gold mineralisation is associated with zones of alteration, shearing and quartz veining within massive to variolitic high Mg basalt. The alteration zones comprise quartz-carbonate-sericite-pyrite+/- chlorite.
-
At the Stirling Well Prospect gold mineralisation is associated with millimetre to centimetre scale quartz veining within the Mt Stirling syenogranite/monzogranite. The gold mineralised quartz veins have narrow sericite/muscovite- epidote-pyrite alteration selvages.
-
Gold mineralisation at the Diorite King group of mine workings is hosted by dolerite and metabasalts which strike NE-SW predominantly and are associated with sub-vertical stockwork quartz. Other historical gold workings in the Project area occur along quartz veined contact zones between mafic intrusive and mafic schist units.

|
|---|---|
| � The characteristic of each prospect adheres to generally accepted features of orogenic gold mineralisation of the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. |
|
| Drill hole Information |
� The location of drill holes is based on historical reports and data originally located on handheld GPS devices. � Northing and easting data for historic drilling is generally within 10m accuracy. � Recent Torian RC drill holes located with differential GPS. � No material information, results or data have been excluded. |
| Data aggregation methods |
� Best gold in drill hole was calculated by taking the maximum gold value in an individual down hole interval from each drill hole and plotting at the corresponding drill hole collar position. Individual downhole intervals were mostly 1m, but vary from 1m to 4m in down hole length. � In relation to the reported historical drill hole intersection a weighted average was calculated by a simple weighting of from and to distances down hole. The samples were 2m down hole samples. No top cuts were applied. � The current drill hole intersection is reported using a weighted average calculation by a simple weighting of from and to distances down hole at 1m intervals per sample. � The historical drilling intercept reported has been calculated using a 1g/t Au cut off, no internal waste and with a total intercept of greater than 1 g/t Au. � No metal equivalent values are used |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
� The orientation of the drilling is approximately at right angles to the known trend mineralisation. � Down hole lengths are reported, true width not known. |
| Diagrams | � The data has been presented using appropriate scales and using standard aggregating techniques for the display of data at prospect scale. � Geological and mineralisation interpretations based off current understanding and will change with further exploration. |
|---|---|
| Balanced reporting |
� Historical Diorite results have been reported in TNR:ASX announcements dated: 08/10/2020, 06/10/2020, 27/07/2020, 29/01/2020. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
� Geological interpretations are taken from historical and ongoing exploration activities. Historical exploration within the existing Diorite North Prospect has provided a reasonable understanding of the style and distribution of local gold mineralised structures at the prospect. � Other areas outside of the existing Diorite historical workings are at a relatively early stage and further work will enhance the understanding of the gold prospectivity of these areas. |
| Further work | � A review of the historical exploration data is ongoing with a view to identify and rank additional target areas for further exploration. � The results of this ongoing review will determine the nature and scale of future exploration programs. � Diagrams are presented in this report outlining areas of existing gold mineralisation and the additional gold target areas identified to date. � Selective preliminary pXRF analytical results are confirmed by laboratory analysis as further planning to advance exploration is contingent on confirmatory assays and further targeting analysis. |
