Tyrannus Gold Discovery Confirmed - Multiple Target Zones to be RC drill tested
Highlights:
Tyrannus Discovery Update
-
Tyrannus gold mineralisation has been confirmed over 600m with Auger Vacuum (AV) selective arsenic-rich samples returning significant anomalous gold from multiple interpreted target zones
-
Significant single-metre intercepts from vertical AV drilling coincide with previously discovered surface pXRF arsenic (As) anomalous zones:
-
1m @ 2.25 g/t Au from 2m (MSAV461)
-
1m @ 4.64 g/t Au from 3m (MSAV471)
-
1m @ 3.07 g/t Au from 3m (MSAV472)
-
1m @ 3.01 g/t Au from 3m (MSAV474)
-
1m @ 3.35 g/t Au from 3m (MSAV512)
-
1m @ 8.09 g/t Au from 1m (MSAV541)
-
Tyrannus mineralised footprint expected to increase from pending Wonambi and Ursus NW AV assays, remaining open in all directions
-
Additional rest of AV hole samples adjoining existing anomalous (>0.5 g/t Au) intercept zones have also been submitted for complete hole assay determination, with assays (216) expected within 2 weeks
-
Tyrannus mineralisation is uncovering a valuable corner piece structural target that has the potential to merge onto Mt Stirling East zones as anomalous gold zones overlap interpreted Eastern Zone strike projections
-
Tyrannus position is along strike of Red5 (ASX:RED) Cerebus-Eclipse (Indicated & Inferred 2.8Mt @ 1.2g/t Au for 112k oz) and Centauri deposits (Indicated & Inferred 1.7Mt @ 1.5g/t Au for 81.3k oz) both located in similar positions to Ursus Fault
-
16 RC drill holes at Tyrranus (from 36 planned) will immediately test 12 interpreted target strike zones, with permitting approved and earthworks in progress
-
Assays from encouraging mineralised zone from Kiaora-Meteor workings and Diorite East expected within 1-2 weeks
-
Assays from Mt Stirling East extensional drilling expected within 2-3 weeks.
-
Record date for New Options Rights Issue ($0.035 exercise, 2 year expiry) is the 20[th] of October. (Ex-date 19 October)

Torian Resources Limited ( Torian or the Company ) is pleased to announce that gold mineralisation has been confirmed at various high priority targets in and around the Tyrannus prospect by AV drilling at the Mt Stirling Gold Project within anomalous surface pXRF arsenic zones.
To date, arsenic anomalies have proven to be highly correlated with gold mineralisation.
The Company has now planned a 36-hole RC drilling campaign to follow up on these AV gold results, with 16 holes to be drilled in coming weeks to test 12 interpreted target strike zones.
Torian’s Executive Director Mr Peretz Schapiro said “Today’s results continue to reaffirm our low cost and de-risked exploration strategy. Our team has spent the last few months identifying targets by using our pXRF to identify surface arsenic anomalies, and have then followed up with targeted AV drilling. This process ensures that when we do embark on an RC drilling campaign, it is highly targeted, thereby maximising our chances for success.
I would like to congratulate our Exploration Manager, Claudio Sheriff-Zegers for employing this exploration methodology with great success. In addition, I would like to thank our hard-working fieldies, Steve Griffin and Reef Coakley who have put in an extraordinary amount of work over the last few months in particular to get us to this point.
We have always been excited by what may be discovered along the prolific Ursus Fault and these early indications from Tyrannus indicate that we may indeed be onto something quite significant.
We are anticipating significant newsflow over the coming weeks as we look forward to further results from the entirety of the Mt Stirling Gold Project (Diorite East, Diorite North (Kiaora - Meteor), Mt Stirling SE, Mt Stirling East, Stirling Well, Hydra, Viserion, and Tyrannus) as well as the continuation of drilling at our high priority targets.
Finally, I would also like to thank our many option holders who have converted their options now to take advantage of the New Options Rights Issue. (ASX announcement 29 Sep 2021) We are blessed with a very committed and loyal shareholder base, so raising capital from our option holders as opposed to outside investors allows us to “keep it in the family” as we continue to grow this company together.”
Tyrannus Regional Update
Tyrannus gold mineralisation has been confirmed over 600m with Auger Vacuum (AV) selective arsenicrich samples returning significant anomalous gold up to 1m @ 8.09 g/t Au from 1m (MSAV0541) from multiple interpreted target zones adjacent to an inflection position of the NNW Ursus Fault.
Multiple holes have returned intercepts >0.10 g/t Au ; with 10 intercepts >0.50g/t Au.
These AV results are significant as 0.02 g/t Au is considered anomalous; and only one selective sample per hole was submitted.
Selective arsenic-rich samples (peak from each hole) from 62 AV drillholes (which had >8ppm pXRF As) were submitted for Au assay determination to ascertain presence and dispersion of mineralisation. These samples have returned significant anomalous gold from multiple interpreted target zones, confirming saprolitic gold coinciding with As anomalous intervals, over 600m at Tyrannus.
Tyrannus mineralised footprint is expected to increase to the NW from 37 pending Wonambi and Ursus NW AV samples awaiting assays. A total of 219 AV drillholes were drilled for 1359m.

Auger Vacuum drilling provides extremely clean uncontaminated samples of overburden and oxide material above hard rock basement that are able to be screened by pXRF for vectoring minerals and elements and contoured to map out dispersion of elements and minerals of interest. AV provides a low impact and cost-effective method to detect out the leakage of mineralised systems onto interpreted structures and prospective lithological contacts.
Torian Resources Limited ( Torian or the Company ) continues in partnership with Strataprobe (AV) Drilling, in providing the technical successful on-going target generation, therefore de-risking and ranking priority targets for RC drill definition, ensuring the global increase resource base of the Mt Stirling Project.
Tyrannus Discovery Maiden RC planned drilling
16 RC drill holes (from 36 planned) will immediately test 12 interpreted target strike zones, with permitting approved and earthworks in progress.
Several structural orientations are present at Tyrannus, with linking structures likely to also host gold mineralisation. Drill orientation will commence targeting sub-vertical NE dipping interpreted lodes. A second phase will likely target NE striking mineralisation associated with NE shearing, with further exploration to target possible NNW striking SW-dipping interpreted mineralisation adjoining or originating from the Ursus Fault.
Tyrannus targets are structurally significant as they are situated on an inflection and splay junction of the Wonambi Shear termination onto Ursus Fault, ~400m east of Mt Stirling gold mineralisation, and are highly likely to merge onto and along strike of Mt Stirling SE mineralised Au lode positions.
There are 12 >0.10 g/t Au target zones with 6 > 1.00 g/t Au zones to be tested in upcoming RC drilling with earthworks advancing as permitting is also approved. Further gold assays from the recent AV drilling will aid positioning of planned drilling, and likely provide further target zones.

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:
-
The Stirling Block to the north which contains two JORC compliant resources at a 0.5g/t cut-off: (refer ASX release 27/5/21 for further information)
-
a. Mt Stirling – 355,000t at 1.7 g/t Au for 20,000oz (Indicated)
- 1,695,000 at 1.5 g/t Au for 82,000oz (Inferred)
-
b. Stirling Well – 253,500t at 2.01 g/t Au for 16,384oz (Inferred)
-
The Diorite Block to the south, home of the historic 73 g/t Diorite King Mine.
Another project in the Kalgoorlie region is the Zuleika project in which the Company is involved in a JV with Zuleika Gold Ltd (ASX: ZAG). 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 Bonnie Vale and Gibraltar Projects, and its Credo Well JV with Zuleika Gold Ltd (ASX: ZAG), host of a JORC Inferred resource of 86,419t at 4.41 g/t Au for 12,259 oz.
Torian also holds ~10.7% of Monger Gold (ASX:MMG) as well as a 20% free carried JV interest in its projects.

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 including the original vendors of M37/1306, North Ltd, Dominion Mining Limited and Tern Minerals Ltd. • Reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m split samples from which 2-3kg was pulverised to produce a 500g tub for Photon 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 were prep included sorting, drying and pulverisation for a 500gm Photon Assay (PAAU02) • Auger Vacuum (AV) drilling produces clean uncontaminated 1m samples from which samples of interest are submitted for a 50g Fire Assay (Au FA50) for gold assay determination. • Diamond drilling was utilised to obtain NQ core which was cut to obtain half core for representative sampling of selective geological sampling. • Surface soil sample locations are directly analysed using a Niton XL5portable XRF analyser (pXRF). Drill sample pXRF measurements are obtained from the primary split sample taken off the drilling rig’s static cone splitter, with a single measurement from each respective meter sample, through 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. • AV drilling is a low impact cost effective technique carried out by Strataprobe drilling, utilising a tractor-mounted auger. • Diamond drilling was carried out by Orlando drilling, with RC precollars followed by Diamond tail NQ tails. • 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. • Drill recovery and geotechnical logging is captured from core logging, including RQD |
| • 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. |

-
Sample sizes are considered appropriate.
preparation
-
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.
-
There is a significant amount of coarse gold at the Mt Stirling Well Prospect. This is reflected in the poor repeatability of some samples and was also noted on the drill logs.
-
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 data and laboratory tests
-
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.
-
Various independent laboratories have assayed samples from the historical explorers drilling. In general they were internationally accredited for QAQC in mineral analysis.
-
Downhole density surveying is being carried out, and calibrated against SG data obtained from drill core.
-
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 sampling and assaying
-
The historical and current drill intercepts reported have been calculated using a 0.5g/t Au cut-off, with a maximum 2m internal waste.
-
Twinned holes have been completed to verify repeatability of sampling and assaying used to date.
-
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 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 points |
• 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. • 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. |
|---|---|
| Data spacing and distribution |
• The historical drill spacing is variable over the project as depicted on map plan diagrams. • Drill spacing over the more advanced Mt Stirling and Stirling Well Prospects varies from 40m by 40m to 20m by 20m respectively. • 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 approximately at right angles to the known mineralisation trend and so gives a fair representation of the true width of mineralisation intersected. • 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 / or 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. |

Section 2 - Reporting of Exploration Results
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
• Mt Stirling is located on M37/1306 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. Torian has purchased a 51% interest in the project and is earning up to 90% by completing exploration on the tenements. • Stirling Well sits entirely with M37/1305, Torian Resources has a 100% interest in this tenement. • The tenements are in good standing. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Previous exploration completed by Torian Resources Ltd and historical explorers including the original vendors of M37/1306, North Ltd, Dominion Mining Limited and Tern Minerals 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 the Mt Stirling syenogranite/monzogranite. • Historical prospecting and exploration activities have identified areas of gold mineralisation at the Mt Stirling and Stirling Well 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. • 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. |
==> picture [79 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
Page 18 of 20 / 5 October 2021
| • Northing and easting on current Feb 2021 drilling is ± 3m accuracy. • 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. • At Stirling Well the gently dipping nature of the mineralisation means that steeply inclined holes give approximately true widths. • At Mt Stirling the steep dip of the mineralisation means that drill widths are exaggerated. • 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 Torian drilling at the Mt Stirling and Stirling Well Prospects has been reported in TNR:ASX announcements dated: 16/05/2019, 25/02/2019, 23/11/2016, 18/11/2016, 20/09/2016, 03/03/2016. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
• Geological interpretations are taken from historical and ongoing exploration activities. Detailed historical exploration with the existing Mt Stirling and Stirling Well Prospects has provided a reasonable understanding of the style and distribution of local gold mineralised structures at these prospects. • Other areas outside of the existing Mt Stirling and Stirling Well prospects 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. |
