  • Mt Stirling Gold Camp sits within the prolific Leonora Gold district in the Eastern Goldfields, adjacent to RED 5’s 4Moz King of the Hills Mine & host to St Barbara’s 4.8Moz Gwalia Mine and Saracen’s 3.8Moz Thunderbox Mine

Mt Stirling Gold Project - Drilling and Results update

Torian Resources Limited ( Torian or the Company ) is pleased to announce the results from a further two sections (4 drill holes) from Phase 1 of the Mt Stirling drill program which drilled 31 RC holes for 5,767 metres (Figures 2 and 3).

This phase confirmed and extended the Mt Stirling gold system over 480m strike, on 40m centre drill spacings.

Torian’s Executive Director Mr Peretz Schapiro said “These results continue to confirm our theory that Mt Stirling contains a much larger gold system than what has been previously thought. What excites us about the current set of results is that we have intercepted significant gold grade nearly 100m beyond our previously defined resource. This, coupled with the fact that we have increased the grade by 20% on historical drill holes that were used in the previous resource estimate, gives us great confidence that when our interim resource is completed in the first quarter of this year, we may see a significant upgrade to our tonnage and gold ounces.

Following a short break over the holiday period, our geological and drilling teams are already back on site, concluding the phase 2 SE and NW extensions of the Mt Stirling resource, as we continue to work on proving up additional ounces at both our Mt Stirling and Stirling Well deposits.

2021 is shaping up to be an exciting year for our Company as we anticipate significant news flow over the coming weeks and months. We eagerly await the results from an additional 25 drillholes from phase one of the Mt Stirling program, along with results from 18 drillholes at Stirling Well, 21 exploratory drill holes from the greenfields at Diorite and the results from our Phase 2 drilling at Mt Stirling.”

The Mt Stirling gold system’s mineralised endowment includes wide shear zone gold-bearing zones, chlorite-quartz schist associated gold, high grade narrow vein lode(s), and porphyry footwall contact gold mineralised zones.

Multiple significant sulphide mineralisation intercepts, associated with pyrite and arsenopyrite (chloritic, silicified, carbonate and biotite alteration) have been intercepted on every section of the extensional drilling, with initial assays on sections 1400N/1440N and 1480N confirming broad Au mineralisation, down-dip and extension continuity.

As has been previously announced analysis by the Photon Assay method (500g) have increased historical twinned drill hole grades (SWC127 40g FA and MSRC002 / Aqua Regia) by around 20%. These initial results are significant for global grade, tonnage and cut-off considerations.

Phase 2 (Mt Stirling SE extension) is nearing completion with 14 of the 18 planned drill holes completed for 2,410m (Figure 2). The Structural target model could extend the Mt Stirling gold

system ~380m to the SE, where one of the key objectives is to test the interpreted Shear Zone position, and quantify a previously drilled, significant intercept of 10m @ 2.34 g/t Au (from 33m in MSRC024) including 4m @ 5.30 g/t Au (from 33m) and 2m @ 7.60 g/t Au (from 35m); proof of concept that Mt Stirling is a much larger mineralised-strike gold system than previously thought (refer ASX releases 29/01/2020 & 07/12/2020).

The subsequent Phase 2 (Mt Stirling NW extension) will test subtle historical shallow Au mineralised trends, where Torian has discovered highly prospective Arsenic leaking structures interpreted to be the surface expression of perhaps the centre of the Mt Stirling gold system.

This will be followed by a Phase 3 drill program (of combined RC and diamond drilling) which will vector on the plunge of the system across the entire interpreted 1,250m strike.

Mt Stirling Well - Drilling and Results update

The Company previously announced completion of Phase 1 of the Mt Stirling Well extensional resource drill program with 18 RC drillholes drilled for 888 metres (Figure 9) (refer ASX release 16/12/2020).

The Mt Stirling Well gold mineralisation is hosted by a flat, gently SW plunging mineralised system within a granite and multiple inflecting interpreted structures. With this maiden extensional phase of drilling, the objective is to expand the shallow current resource and vector to further extend the global resource, structural understanding, and assess a possible polymetallic or amenable molybdenum by-product.

Mt Stirling Gold Project Interim Resources Upgrades

As had been previously announced, Torian has been prioritising processing the results from the Mt Stirling program as it has engaged resource estimate consultants to conduct an interim JORC resource upgrade, with the intention of expanding the current inferred resource estimate of 33.9koz at Mt Stirling and the 16.4koz inferred resource at Mt Stirling Well. The Company is expecting the Resource Estimate update during the first quarter of 2021.

The Mt Stirling maiden Inferred Resource Estimate (BMGS Dec 2018) included 26 historical shallow drill holes for a combined 727,021t @ 1.45 g/t Au for 33,893oz (Figure 8).

The Mt Stirling Phase 1 program provides an additional 31 drill holes, combined with a further 4 historical drill holes that were outside of the maiden Resource Estimate, for a combined 61 drill holes towards 2021 Q1 Resource Estimate upgrade (Table 2).

This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Directors.

Peretz Schapiro Executive Chairman Torian Resources Ltd [email protected]

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:

  1. The Stirling Block to the north which contains two JORC Inferred resources.

  2. a. Mt Stirling – 727,000t at 1.45 g/t Au for 33,900oz

  3. b. Stirling Well – 253,500t at 2.01 g/t Au for 16,384oz

  4. 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:

  1. The Wombola Block to the north

  2. The Mt Monger South Block 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 Bonnei 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.

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)
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.

Page 21 of 23 / 6 January 2021

 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.
 No geophysical tools have been used to date.
 The laboratories inserted blank and check samples for each batch of samples analysed and reports these accordingly with all results.

 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 Mt Stirling Well Prospects varies from 40m by 40m to 20m by 20m respectively.

Page 22 of 23 / 6 January 2021

 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 Mt Stirling Well Prospects has been undertaken. The QA/QC on data over the remainder of the project
tenements is ongoing.
