ASX / MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT
30 July 2021
ABN: 72 002 261 565
ASX CODE: TNR
Highlights:
-
Mt Stirling Interim Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) increases by 200% to 2.05M tonnes @ 1.54 g/t Au for 102,000 ounces including 20,000 Indicated ounces from surface (using a 0.5 g/t gold cut‐off)
-
Only 740m of strike incorporated into MRE from a total interpreted 1.160km strike of the Mt Stirling gold system with Mt Stirling Main Zone; Hanging Wall, Viserion lodes, and multiple eastern gold mineralised zones all remaining open along strike and down‐dip
-
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

1 Mt Stirling Interim Mineral Resource Estimate Update
During the quarter Torian announced the Mt Stirling Interim Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) had increased by 200% to 2.05M tonnes @ 1.54 g/t Au for 102,000 ounces including 20,000 Indicated ounces from surface (using a 0.5 g/t gold cut‐off) (Table 1). Torian Resources engaged BM Geological Services (BMGS) to complete a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Mt Stirling deposit situated 40km northwest of Leonora WA, during May 2021.
The MRE was classified as Indicated and Inferred based on drill density, geological understanding, grade continuity and economic parameters of Open Pit mining. The May 2021 MRE contains 2,050K tonnes at 1.5 g/t Au for 102,000 ounces using a 0.5 g/t gold lower reporting cut‐off.
| Category | Tonnes | Au | Ounces |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indicated | 355,000 | 1.7 | 20,000 |
| Inferred | 1,695,000 | 1.5 | 82,000 |
| Total | 2,050,000 | 1.5 | 102,000 |
Table 1. May 2021 Mineral Resource Estimate at a cut‐off of 0.5 g/t– (Rounded to 2 significant figures)
The Mt Stirling MRE is based on recent and historic reverse circulation (RC) and diamond (DH) drill hole data. Re‐sampling and re‐logging has also been completed by Torian staff on historical diamond core. The MRE utilised 68 RC holes and 4 diamond to create 3‐dimensional (3D) mineralisation wireframes and weathering surfaces. The interpretation was then used to flag drilling data to be used in estimation of grades into a block model constructed using the Geovia Surpac software package (Surpac). The mineralisation interpretation was completed on 40 metre (m) spaced drilling, using a nominal 0.5 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) lower cut‐off.
| Hole Type | Number of holes | Total meters |
|---|---|---|
| RC | 68 | 12,522.00 |
| DD | 4 | 1,757.65 |
| Total | 72 | 14,279.65 |
Table 2. Drill hole types in dataset
Historical samples were assayed using 40g or 50g charge lead collection Fire Assay with atomic absorption spectrometry finish (AAS finish) or Aqua Regia. Current samples were assayed using 500g Photon Assay (Photon) by MinAnalytical.
A total of 135 samples assayed using Photon that represent the spread of grade found within the orebody, were sent to another lab (Nagron) to be re‐assayed using Fire Assay. Mineralisation wireframes were created in Surpac. The wireframes consist of a main lode (domain 1) that strikes towards 315° and dips steeply the northwest. Some smaller ancillary lodes were created where mineralisation outside of the main lode was continuous enough to be joined across sections (domains 2 and 3). Any anomalous grade that could not be joined across sections was included in domain 99 that will not be used in reporting due to the lack of confidence in lodes based on insufficient intersection points. A nominal cut‐off of 0.5 g/t gold was used to define mineralisation boundaries; however, lower grades were sometimes included to maintain continuity. The mineralised lodes were flagged to the model in the “domain” attribute.

The classification of the MRE is based on geological confidence, mineralisation continuity and likelihood of economic extraction. Further work will focus on the following:
-
Improving drilling density to allow for collection of geological and grade data.
-
Completion of Open Pit optimisation studies using current mining metrics to ensure MRE classification assumptions are valid.
-
Completion of Metallurgical test work on mineralisation from the project to understand recovery implication relating to likely milling processes.
-
Ongoing QAQC of data collection process to ensure all information is valid and relevant to project.
2 Significant Gold Results From Surface at Mt Stirling
The Mt Stirling Gold Project is situated approximately 40km NW of Leonora, and neighbours Red 5’s King of the Hills mine ( Figure 5 ). The region has recently produced approximately 14Moz of gold from mines such as Tower Hills, Sons of Gwalia, Thunderbox, Harbour Lights and Gwalia.
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 potential.
Recent significant results released during the quarter include:
-

1m @ 0.81 g/t Au from 47m (MSRC036); and 1m @ 2.14 g/t Au from 83m
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 estimate updates 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.

3 Mt Stirling Gold Project ‐ Results Update
Subsequent to the quarter end, on July 7 2021, the Company announced that surface pXRF and field work conducted over recent weeks had uncovered two new high priority targets at the Mt Stirling Gold Project.
Tyrannus is a new significant ~400m strike >10ppm As (arsenic pXRF surface soil anomaly) with a peak 46ppm As which has been discovered on the NNW Ursus Fault position.
The structural setting is significant as the Tyrannus discovery is situated on an inflection and splay junction of the Wonambi Shear termination onto the prolific Ursus Fault, ~400m east of Mt Stirling gold mineralisation.
Tyrannus position is along strike of Red5 Cerebus‐Eclipse (Inferred & Indicated 2.8Mt @ 1.2g/t for 112k oz) and Centauri deposits (Inferred & Indicated 1.7Mt @ 1.5g/t for 81.3k oz) both located in similar positions to Ursus Fault.
Further pXRF infill surveys, along with structural and geological mapping, will help delineate and vector to potential gold mineralisation, AV and RC drill testing.
A further significant ~260m >100ppm As anomaly has also been discovered to the immediate west of Viserion mineralisation, on the Viserion Shear with a peak 1,244ppm As.
Although in close proximity to multiple drill sections of the recently drilled Mt Stirling Viserion lode, the surface position of this Viserion Shear target has not been tested, and has the potential to be sub‐parallel mineralisation.
Hydra infill pXRF has delineated a ~340m strike >100ppm As with a peak 3,023ppm As surface anomaly situated on an inflection of the Viserion Shear ~ 1km NW and along strike of the Mt Stirling resource on the Viserion shear.
The Hydra target is ~500m to the NW of the Viserion Shear newly discovered target, and is likely to be linked, with the potential of >1km strike continuity prospectivity if so.
These anomalies were uncovered using the Company’s pXRF machine to analyse soils samples from the Company’s ongoing surface geochem surveys over prospective structural and conceptual targets.
Arsenic has previously correlated with gold in the region, and recently led to the discovery of the Viserion lode at Mt Stirling. The Company is planning Auger Vacuum (AV) and follow‐up RC drilling to test these high priority targets and is awaiting permitting.

4 Acquisition of Tarmoola Station
During the last quarter of 2020 the Company advised that via its wholly owned subsidiary Tarmoola Holdings Pty Ltd ( THP ) it had entered into an exclusive option agreement to purchase the 172,662Ha (424,748 Acre) Tarmoola Station. Torian subsequently advised on 3 March 2021 that it had extended its exclusive call option agreement to purchase the 172,662Ha (424,748 Acre) Tarmoola Station.
During the quarter Torian exercised its option to purchase the 172,662 Ha (424,748 acre) Tarmoola Station and associated mining services business “Carhill Contracting”.
The purchase of the Tarmoola station is seen as a crucial step towards fast‐tracking the exploration of and potential mining production at the Mt Stirling Gold Project as there are substantial access benefits in holding pastoral leases.
The majority of Torian’s Mt Stirling Gold Project including the Mt Stirling, Stirling Well, numerous historical Au workings, and much of the Diorite prospects and historical mines and workings, falls within the bounds of Tarmoola Station. Approximately 50% of the pastoral lease is covered by mining / exploration leases, with the station hosting numerous operating and abandoned mines including Red 5 Ltd’s KOTH Operation; Round Oak Minerals Jaguar Project and the operating Bentley underground mine.
The station currently contains a 20‐person camp with approvals in place as well as infrastructure already built to expand to a 50‐person accommodation facility. The Pastoral Lease also includes the 10 Mile Outcamp accommodation facility, in the NE of the property, and is serviced by the Goldfields Highway and a myriad of pastoral access tracks, including the Agnew and Darlot access roads. The station is neighboured by Nambi Station – leased by Glencore Mining, and Melrose Station leased by Red 5 Ltd.

==> picture [79 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
Page 12 of 18 / 30 July 2021
==> picture [79 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
Since 2018 the owners have invested in excess of $1,000,000 in infrastructure upgrades across the Station including maintaining and upgrading 34 automated solar powered wells out of 42 existing wells that draw from the abundant water resource of the Tarmoola Aquifer.
The station currently contains a 20‐person camp with approvals in place as well as infrastructure already built to expand to a 50‐person accommodation facility. The Pastoral Lease also includes the 10 Mile Outcamp accommodation facility, in the NE of the property, and is serviced by the Goldfields Highway and a myriad of pastoral access tracks, including the Agnew and Darlot access roads. The station is neighboured by Nambi Station – leased by Glencore Mining, and Melrose Station leased by Red 5 Ltd.
In addition to the pastoral lease and camp, the station agreement includes a number of revenue generating assets, including approximately 700 head of cattle, a continuous $360,000 per annum of carbon credits and a mining services business “Carhill Contracting” which is cash flow positive and includes plant and machinery assets valued at approximately $700,000. In the last 12 months Carhill Contracting’s customers have included Red 5 (ASX:RED), St Barbara Ltd (ASX:SBM), Round Oak Mining (ASX:SOL) amongst other regional explorers.
The revenue earned from carbon credits is as a result of the delivery and sale of Australian Carbon Credit Units ascribed to the Pastoral Station pursuant to the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011 (Cth) .
About Tarmoola Station
Tarmoola Station is a pastoral lease located about 25 kilometres north west of Leonora and 100 kilometres south of Leinster in the Goldfields of Western Australia. The western boundary of Tarmoola adjoins Sturt Meadows Station.
The property was established on land that was previously owned by the Leonora Pastoral Company but had remained largely undeveloped. Reuben McBride inspected the area and took up a lease over approximately 500,000 acres in 1923. Together with W. G. Hawkes, McBride formed the Tarmoola Pastoral Company in 1924 and embarked on an improvement program. Shortly afterward some 240,000 acres was fenced and several bores sunk.
Further information regarding the station can be found on its Wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarmoola_Station
