Mt Stirling Significant Shallow Mineralisation
Highlights:
-
Eastern zone significant high grade surface mineralisation intercepted on 1840N with:
-
2m @ 8.02 g/t Au from 1m (MSRC062); inc 1m @ 15.19 g/t Au (from 1m) (Previously reported as a 4m anomalous comp; ASX 12[th] May).
-
Multiple shallow mineralised gold intercepts not included in the recent Interim Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) update warrant follow-up drilling.
-
Extensional and in-fill drill planning continues on Hanging Wall Zone lower segments, parts of the Viserion Zone, and other mineral zones which were not included in the Interim MRE update due to sparse drill spacing and mineralised sample assays yet to be received and reported which may confirm continuity of further mineralised zones between drill holes and sections.
-
Structural geological mapping and drill planning is advancing over the significant ~500m strike (>10ppm and up to 125ppm) arsenic surface anomaly Hydra mineralisation discovery 1.25 km further along strike to the NW of Viserion and is likely a surface expression of the Mt Stirling gold system.
-
If continuous, the Mt Stirling Gold system strike would exceed 2.25km.

-
These additional multiple shallow mineralised gold intercepts were not included in the recent Interim MRE update.
-
Intercepts provide multiple follow-up, in-fill and extensional drilling opportunities with further Optimisation Studies to assess modelling and extraction potential.
-
Ongoing drilling and forthcoming results may boost two further resource upgrades at the Mt Stirling Gold Project which are anticipated before the end of the year.
-
Extensional and in-fill drill planning continues on mineral domains such as the Hanging Wall Zone lower segments, parts of the Viserion Zone, and other mineral zones which were not included in the Interim MRE Update due to sparse drill spacing and mineralised sample assays yet to be received and reported which may confirm continuity of further mineralised zones between drill holes and sections.
-
Only 740m of strike incorporated into MRE from a total interpreted 1.16km strike of the Mt Stirling gold system with Mt Stirling Main Zone; Hanging Wall, Viserion lodes, and multiple shallow eastern gold mineralised zones all remaining open along strike and down-dip.
-
Drill planning and further structural and geological mapping over the significant ~500m strike (>10ppm and up to 125ppm) arsenic surface anomaly Hydra mineralisation discovery 1.25 km further along strike to the NW of Viserion and is likely a surface expression of the Mt Stirling gold system.
-
If continuous, the Mt Stirling Gold system strike would exceed 2.25km.
-
Significant arsenic anomalies have also been defined (pXRF) ~200m SE and ~500m NW of Interim Resource Estimate boundary, implying continuity of the gold system to both the SE & NW.
-
The Mt Stirling Gold System footprint continues to track on par and is consistent with regional significant discoveries, e.g. St Barbara’s (ASX:SBM) 4.8Moz Gwalia Mine and Northern Star’s (ASX:NST) 3.8Moz Thunderbox Mine, with the Mt Stirling gold system remaining open in all directions.
-
Mt Stirling Regional targeting has identified numerous Priority 1 and Priority 2 targets along four key structural corridors ; Viserion Shear (3.4km); Wonambi Shear (2.2km); Ursus Fault (2.5km) and Blue Jacket (2.2km) for immediate follow-up exploration including drilling.
-
Torian is now fully funded to continue its 50,000m drilling campaign in 2021.
==> picture [79 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
Torian’s Executive Director Mr Peretz Schapiro said “The sheer amount of shallow gold mineralised zones that were not included in the recent resource, gives us great confidence, that we will be able to significantly increase the size of the resource in coming weeks and months as we follow up on these prospective targets.
The Mt Stirling gold system continues to remain open in all directions. In addition to the above mentioned follow up drilling, we continue to be encouraged by significant arsenic anomalies (pXRF; Figure 10) including the Hydra surface expression some 1.2km NW and further significantly anomalous zones just 500m to the NW of Viserion, and to date, arsenic anomalies have correlated with gold mineralisation.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that the recent resource estimate is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting future for Torian, as we have only just “scratched the surface” of the Mt Stirling Gold Project, with the Mt Stirling system being just one of dozens of high priority targets in the region.
The ongoing drilling at Mt Stirling, an exploration program at the green fields at Diorite to commence in coming weeks, a resource estimate due from Stirling Well in Q3 and an updated resource estimate from Mt Stirling later in the year will continue to generate strong news flow for our company, as we look to set ourselves up for long term success.”

Mt Stirling Gold Project Future Exploration:
Mt Stirling Regional targeting has identified numerous Priority 1 and 2 targets (Figure 10) along four key structural corridors for immediate follow-up exploration including drilling:
-
Viserion Shear (3.4km);
-
Wonambi Shear (2.2km);
-
Ursus Fault (2.5km); and
-
Blue Jacket (2.2km).
These 4 structural corridors, provide in excess of 10km of prospective host stratigraphy and structural setting, and are immediately adjacent to known Mt Stirling mineralisation.
Conceptual, geochemical and structural targets will be tested in the coming months with the objective to extend and confirm multiple regional targets, to vector on anomalism and mineralisation for the next generation of gold resource(s).
Programmes of Works (POWs) are being prepared for all Mt Stirling priority target areas, in order to systematically explore interpreted structures through pXRF and geological mapping, for anomalous trends to be Auger vacuum drilled, with proven vectoring to mineralisation targets for immediate RC drill testing.
Preliminary pXRF field data continues to define geochemical anomalism that supports Mt Stirling Gold System further NW extensions.
Mt Stirling mineralisation remains open, and the potential for further strike extension is evident. Multiple anomalous zones are also systematically being followed-up, which is also vectoring towards further easterly and westerly anomalous and mineralised potential, with significant implications towards continued increase to Project tonnage and global resource.
Exploration is also systematically screening sub-vertical to horizontal links between Mt Stirling and Stirling Well gold systems, nearby both sub-parallel to Viserion Shear Zone and Nexus Fault Zone.

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 Mt Monger North Block to the north
-
The Mt Monger South Block to the south
The Company is now actively pursuing a proposed spin-off of the Mt Monger and Gibraltar Projects, which proposes that Torian will hold approximately 10% of the new listed entity plus a 20% free carried JV interested in the projects.
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.

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. 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. |
