7 drill holes planned to extend Eastern Zones
-
RC drilling at Hydra has now commenced
-
12 drill holes to test previously announced anomalous arsenic zones and extents of gold system to the NW
-
Diorite East and Unexpected planned drilling completed
-
A total of 10 DHs for 806m have been drilled
-
Encouraging mineralised zone from Kiaora-Meteor workings and Diorite East SZ
-
Assays expected within 2 weeks
Torian Resources Limited ( Torian or the Company ) is pleased to announce results from various drilling campaigns at Mt Stirling. Results continue to increase the extents of gold mineralisation at various prospects and multiple gold domains, with pierce point intercepts beyond the current resource boundaries.
Torian Executive Director Mr Peretz Schapiro said: “ The continuous discovery of gold beyond the Mt Stirling resource boundary provides us with further confirmation that we have only just scratched the surface of the Mt Stirling Gold Project.
Our drilling campaign is in full swing as we look to continue to extend the strike of our resource as well as follow up on the high priority targets that have recently been generated. (Hydra and Tyrannus).
We have also negotiated faster turnaround times with our labs, and as such we anticipate receiving assays from our recent Diorite campaign within the next 2 weeks and assays from the current Mt Stirling campaigns within the next 3 weeks.”

Mt Stirling SE Drill Update
The Mt Stirling Gold system has extended 280m further to the SE with mineralised strike now continuous over 1040m (1080N – 2080N).
A total of 18 RC drill holes were drilled for 3,713m with assays confirming an extension of the Mt Stirling gold system by 280m to the SE with intercepts including:
-
1m @ 1.06 g/t Au from 26m (MSRC080); and 1m @ 0.94 g/t Au from 47m
-
1m @ 1.27 g/t Au from 72m (MSRC076)
-
1m @ 2.27 g/t Au from 230m (MSRC069)
-
3m @ 0.73 g/t Au from 59m (MSRC065); inc 1m @ 1.51 g/t Au from 61m
-
Multiple anomalous composites from sampling with assays yet to be received Peak 4m @ 0.65 g/t Au anomalous comp from 256m (MSRC080)
-
16m @ 0.31 g/t Au anomalous comps from 244m (MSRC068); inc
-
4m @ 0.52 g/t Au anomalous comp from 244m 4m @ 0.41 g/t Au anomalous comp from surface (MSRC075)
A cut-off of >0.5 g/t Au has been used for Significant intercepts; with >0.1 g/t used for composite sample selection to single metre assaying.

Mt Stirling Project: JORC Table 1
Section 1 ‐ Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | Drilling results reported are 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) Diamond drilling was utilised to obtain NQ core which was cut to obtain half core for representative sampling of selective geological sampling |
| 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 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. |
|
| 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. 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. |
|
| 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. |
| 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. A cut‐off of 0.10 g/t Au has been used for anomalous composite sample selection for single metre sample priority 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. |
| Location of data points | Drill hole collarswere 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 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 | Areview 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. |

|
| 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. 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. 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. |
