HIGH GRADE INTERSECTIONS IN MAIDEN RC PROGRAM AT IRONBARK
HIGHLIGHTS
-
➢ High-grade gold intersections in two of the first three RC holes drilled at the Ironbark prospect at Side Well
-
➢ Highlights include:
-
22m @ 2.47g/t Au from 38m in 22IBRC005, including 4m @ 6.68g/t g/t Au from 39m
-
14m @ 4.25g/t Au from 104m in 22IBRC007, including 8m @ 5.96g/t Au from 108m
-
➢ Awaiting assays for another four RC holes at Ironbark and 23 at Mulga Bill – Loaded Dog
➢
Great Boulder Resources (“ Great Boulder ” or the “ Company ”) (ASX: GBR ) is pleased to announce initial assay results from the maiden RC program at the Ironbark prospect within the Side Well Gold Project (“ Side Well ”) near Meekatharra in Western Australia.
Assays have been received for three of the seven holes drilled at the Ironbark discovery east of Mulga Bill. Highlights from these holes include:
-
22m @ 2.47g/t Au from 38m in 22IBRC005, including 4m @ 6.68g/t g/t Au from 39m
-
14m @ 4.25g/t Au from 104m in 22IBRC007, including 8m @ 5.96g/t Au from 108m
-
2m @ 1.33g/t Au from 128m in 22IBRC007.
Great Boulder’s Managing Director, Andrew Paterson commented:
“This is a great result for our first RC program at Ironbark. In contrast to Mulga Bill, Ironbark is not concealed beneath alluvial cover and we were able to make this discovery last year using auger soil sampling followed by air-core drilling.”
“We now have high grades in two of the first three RC holes, with broad down-hole intervals at relatively shallow depths. Hole 22IBRC007 is the southern-most hole drilled so there is definitely scope to extend this further south. Our drilling to date is on lines 100m apart, and these two intersections are 300m apart so there is significant strike potential.”
Geological logging of the RC chips indicates a zone of deeper weathering striking north-northeast through Ironbark, coincident with gold mineralisation. This observation together with the multielement geochemistry suggests Ironbark is a structurally controlled orogenic system. The deeper weathering means these intersections are in partially weathered rock, but they are likely to relate to primary mineralisation at depth.

APPENDIX 1 - JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION TABLE 1
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | RC samples were collected into calico bags over 1m intervals using a cyclone splitter. The residual bulk samples are placed in lines of piles on the ground. 2 cone splits are taken off the rig splitter for RC drilling. Visually prospective zones were sampled over 1m intervals and sent for analysis while the rest of the hole was composited over 4m intervals by taking a spear sample from each 1m bag. |
| Drilling techniques | RC Drilling was undertaken by K-Drill. Industry standard drilling methods and equipment were utilised. |
| Drill sample recovery | Sample recovery data is noted in geological comments as part of the logging process. Sample condition has been logged for every geological interval as part of the logging process. Significant ground water was encountered in drilling which resulted in numerous wet samples. No quantitative twinned drilling analysis has been undertaken. |
| Logging | Geological logging of drilling followed established company procedures. Qualitative logging of samples includes lithology, mineralogy, alteration, veining and weathering. Abundant geological comments supplement logged intervals. |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
1m cyclone splits and 4m speared composite samples were taken in the field. Samples were prepared and analysed at ALS Laboratories Perth. Samples were pulverized so that each samples had a nominal 85% passing 75 microns. Au analysis was undertaken using Au-AA26 involving 50g lead collection fire assay and Atomic Adsorption Spectrometry (AAS) finish. |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
All samples were assayed by industry standard techniques. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The standard GBR protocol was followed for insertion of standards and blanks with a blank and standard inserted per 40 samples. No QAQC problems were identified in the results. No twinned drilling has been undertaken. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
The spacing and location of the majority of drilling in the projects is, by the nature of early exploration, variable. The spacing and location of data is currently only being considered for exploration purposes. |

| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Drilling is dominantly perpendicular to regional geological trends where interpreted and practical. True width and orientation of intersected mineralisation is currently unknown or not clear. The spacing and location of the data is currently only being considered for exploration purposes. |
|---|---|
| Sample security | GBR personnel were responsible for delivery of samples from the drill site to the courier companies dispatch center in Meekatharra. Samples were transported by Toll Ipec from Meekatharra to the laboratory in Perth. |
| Audits or reviews | Data review and interpretation by independent consultants. |
Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and | Side Well tenement E51/1905 is a 48-block exploration license covering an area of 131.8km2 |
| land tenure status | immediately east and northeast of Meekatharra in the Murchison province. The tenement is a 75:25 |
| joint venture between Great Boulder and Zebina Minerals PtyLtd. | |
| Exploration done by | Tenement E51/1905 has a protracted exploration history but is relatively unexplored compared to |
| other parties | other regions surrounding Meekathara. |
| Geology | The Side Well tenement group covers a portion of the Meekatharra-Wydgee Greenstone Belt north |
| of Meekatharra, WA. The north-northeasterly trending Archaean Meekatharra-Wydgee Greenstone | |
| Belt, comprises a succession of metamorphosed mafic to ultramafic and felsic and sedimentary rocks | |
| belonging to the Luke Creek and Mount Farmer Groups. | |
| Over the northern extensions of the belt, sediments belonging to the Proterozoic Yerrida Basin | |
| unconformably overlie Archaean granite-greenstone terrain. Structurally, the belt takes the form of | |
| a syncline known as the Polelle syncline. Younger Archaean granitoids have intrusive contacts with | |
| the greenstone succession and have intersected several zones particularly in the Side Well area. | |
| Within the Side Well tenement group, a largely concealed portion of the north-north-easterly | |
| trending Greenstone Belt is defined, on the basis of drilling and airborne magnetic data, to underlie | |
| the area. The greenstone succession is interpreted to be tightly folded into a south plunging syncline | |
| and is cut by easterly trending Proterozoic dolerite dykes. | |
| There is little to no rock exposure at the Side Well prospect. This area is covered by alluvium and | |
| lacustrine clays, commonly up to 60 metres thick. | |
| Drill hole Information | A list of the drill hole coordinates, orientations and intersections reported in this announcement are |
| provided as an appended table. | |
| Data aggregation | Results were reported using cut-off levels relevant to the sample type. For composited samples |
| methods | significant intercepts were reported for grades greater than 0.1g/t Au with a maximum dilution of |
| 4m. For single metre splits, significant intercepts were reported for grades greater than 0.8g/t Au | |
| with a maximum dilution of 2m. | |
| A weighted average calculation was used to allow for bottom of hole composites that were less than | |
| the standard 4m and when intervals contain composited samples plus 1m split samples. | |
| No metal equivalents are used. | |
| Relationship between | The orientation of structures and mineralisation is not known with certainty, but majority of the |
| mineralisation widths | drilling drilling was conducted using appropriate perpendicular orientations for interpreted |
| and intercept lengths | mineralisation. Diamond drilling has confirmed a mineralised intrusive body at Side Well has a near |
| vertical dip and trends broadly north-south. Due to the wide spacing of drill lines exact orientation is | |
| not clear. | |
| Diagrams | Refer to figures in announcement. |
