[ 13 July 2021]

HIGH COPPER GRADES AT EAST KALKAROO

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Economic grades of copper sulphide and oxidised gold mineralisation in recent East Kalkaroo resource confirmation drillholes, including:

39 metres of 1.62% copper

59 metres of 0.83% copper and 0.28 g/t gold

34 metres of 0.70% copper and 0.78 g/t gold

15 metres of 1.59 g/t gold.

  • Drilling indicates the top of a potentially large breccia-veined mineralised system at depth.

  • Continuing steady progress on the various outstanding West Kalkaroo pre-development tasks, aiming for commencement of development during 2022.

Havilah’s Technical Director, Dr Chris Giles, said:

“Our RC (reverse circulation) drilling at East Kalkaroo has returned some excellent drilling intercepts in highly brecciated (fractured and broken) and veined host rocks.

“This mineralisation is known to continue to at least 500 metres depth based on an earlier 2001 drillhole.

“These results highlight the possibility of breccia-vein style copper-gold mineralisation below the current Kalkaroo JORC Mineral Resource that may have bulk tonnage underground mining potential.

“Our priority objective remains advancing the West Kalkaroo gold open pit towards development during 2022, subject to a final investment decision by the Havilah Board, obtaining financing and final South Australian government approvals,” he said.

Havilah Resources Limited ( Havilah or the Company ) ( ASX : HAV ) is pleased to report assay results for four recent RC drillholes at East Kalkaroo that were designed to test for breccia-hosted copper-gold mineralisation at the eastern end of the Kalkaroo orebody (Figure 1).

These RC holes were specifically targeted on the Kalkaroo fault zone at East Kalkaroo to test for deeper copper-gold sulphide mineralisation in areas marginal to the current Kalkaroo JORC Mineral Resource. Widespread copper and gold mineralisation was intersected in all drillholes, closely associated with highly brecciated (fractured and broken) and veined host rocks within or adjacent to the Kalkaroo fault zone (Figure 2). Significant results are summarised below.

KKRC0612 : 34 metres of 0.70% copper and 0.78 g/t gold from 100-134 metres (native copper zone) KKRC0613 : 39 metres of 1.62% copper from 131-170 metres (mainly copper sulphide zone), and 15 metres of 1.59 g/t gold from 118-133 metres (saprolite gold zone)

  • KKRC0614 : 9 metres of 0.58% copper from 154-163 metres (copper sulphide with some gold), and 15 metres of 0.67% copper from 173-188 metres (copper sulphide with some gold)

  • KKRC0615 : 59 metres of 0.83% copper and 0.28 g/t gold from 145-204 metres (in copper sulphide zone to end of hole at 204 metres), and

  • 21 metres of 0.54 g/t gold from 118-139 metres (native copper zone).

Figure 1 Location of East Kalkaroo drillholes and cross-section line A-B (Figure 2). Also shown is the planned West Kalkaroo gold open pit outline (blue), which is currently being advanced towards development. The area of bulk tonnage underground mining potential in the footwall, corresponding to the breccia-vein zone, is shown in green.

Notably all East Kalkaroo drillholes ended in brecciated and mineralised material associated with the interpreted position of the major Kalkaroo fault zone. For these drillholes the assay results are copperrich in the sulphide zone, with gold mineralisation tending to be patchy and less consistent within the copper mineralised intervals. However, appreciable gold was encountered in the oxidised ore zone (see results for drillholes KKRC0613 and KKRC0615) and it is planned to further test this mineralisation with an additional tier of shallower drillholes in due course, subject to Havilah’s other work priorities. Assay results are generally consistent with the few earlier drillholes that intersected this zone, such as the 2008 Havilah diamond drillhole KKDD196A, with results as follows:

  • KKDD196A : 33 metres of 1.0% copper and 0.25 g/t gold from 119-152 metres,

  • 10 metres of 0.47% copper and minor gold from 165-175 metres,

  • 22 metres of 0.54% copper and 0.14 g/t gold from 209-231 metres, and 11 metres of 0.47% copper and 0.15 g/t gold from 252-263 metres.

Of particular significance is an earlier MIM Exploration Ltd diamond drillhole (KMD001) in the near vicinity, which intersected the widest and deepest zone of primary copper-gold mineralisation ever drilled on the Kalkaroo deposit, with an intersection of:

KMD001 : 317.4 metres of 0.26% copper and 0.1 g/t gold from 316-633.4 metres (end of hole).

This mineralisation is largely hosted by brittle-fractured intensely albitised metasediments that lie in the immediate footwall to the typical Kalkaroo stratabound replacement style copper-gold mineralisation (Figure 2). It represents a potentially large mineralised zone at East Kalkaroo, that has only ever been tested by just the one drillhole (namely KMD001), to a vertical depth of 500 metres at this location.

Figure 2 Cross-section line A-B showing new assay results for drillhole KKRC0615 and the most significant results for earlier diamond drillholes KKDD196A (Havilah 2008) and KMD001 (MIM Exploration Ltd 2001). Drillhole KKDD196A is largely confirmatory of the copper intersections and geology in KKRC0615. Drillhole KMD001 intersected a thick zone of mineralised brecciated and veined albitised metasediments (green triangle symbol) mostly in the footwall to the typical Kalkaroo stratabound replacement copper sulphide mineralisation resource envelope (diagonal blue line symbol). This brecciation is much wider than that normally associated with the Kalkaroo fault zone (red).

The high tenor of copper mineralisation intersected at much shallower depths in the recent drillholes (KKRC0612-0615) and an earlier drillhole (KKDD196A) as reported above indicates a well mineralised system, pointing to the potential of the breccia-vein copper sulphide mineralisation at depth. Testing of this deep breccia-vein zone is beyond the current depth capacity of Havilah’s RC drilling rig that it manages and operates and will be followed up in due course by contract diamond drilling, subject to Havilah’s other work priorities.

In the meantime, Havilah has now completed its planned current drilling program at Kalkaroo and has mobilised its drilling equipment to the Mutooroo copper-cobalt-gold project area approximately 70 km to the south of Kalkaroo. This drilling program will commence next week at the Cockburn prospect, located

within sight of the border town of Cockburn and approximately 45 km southwest of the regional mining centre of Broken Hill. The prospect is marked by an outcropping sulphide gossan with associated highly anomalous copper, cobalt and gold geochemistry at the surface (up to 0.26% copper, 0.16% cobalt and 1.03 g/t gold) (refer to ASX announcement of 7 December 2018 page 17, noting name change to Cockburn prospect from Viper previously).

About the Kalkaroo copper-gold-cobalt deposit

Havilah’s 100% owned Kalkaroo copper-gold-cobalt deposit contains JORC Mineral Resources of 1.1 million tonnes of copper, 3.1 million ounces of gold and 23,200 tonnes of cobalt. It has an open pit JORC Ore Reserve of 100.1 million tonnes at a copper equivalent ( CuEq ) grade of 0.89% of which 90% is in the Proved category (refer to JORC tables below taken from Havilah’s 2020 Annual Report in ASX announcement of 27 October 2020). As such, Kalkaroo is one of the largest undeveloped open pit coppergold deposits in Australia on a CuEq Ore Reserve basis.

Havilah has already secured the required mining permits for the Kalkaroo project (Mining Leases and Miscellaneous Purposes Licences). It also owns the surrounding Kalkaroo Station pastoral lease, a nonmineral asset on which the Kalkaroo project is located, thus reducing land access risks for the project. Kalkaroo could be a future source of ethically produced metals vital to modern society, operating under industry best practice ESG regulations that are enforced by the South Australian government.

Havilah’s priority objective is completion of outstanding West Kalkaroo pre-development tasks required to commence development of the West Kalkaroo gold open pit during 2022 subject to a final investment decision by the Havilah Board, obtaining financing and final South Australian government approvals. West Kalkaroo is planned to be the first lower capital stage in the potential development of the much larger and longer-term Kalkaroo copper-gold sulphide mining project.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as limiting
the broad meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample
representivity
and
the
appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report. In cases
where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this
would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from
which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as where there
is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation
types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.

Sample data was derived from Havilah
reverse
circulation
(RC)
drillholes
as
documented in the table above.

RC assay samples averaging 2-3kg were riffle
split at 1 metre intervals. A small number of
samples from the lower parts of some holes
were too moist to go through the splitter and
were collected directly from the cyclone in
large plastic bags and grab sampled from
them using a scoop.

All RC drill samples were collected into pre-
numbered calico bags and packed into
polyweave bags by Havilah staff for shipment
to the assay lab in Adelaide.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic,
etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or
standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

All RC holes were drilled with a 121mm face
sampling bit. All samples were collected via
riffle splitting directly from the cyclone. A
small number of samples from the lower
parts of some holes were too moist to go
through the splitter and were collected
directly from the cyclone in large plastic bags
and grab sampled from them using a scoop.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias may
have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.

The sample yield and wetness of the RC
samples was routinely recorded in drill logs. A
small number of samples from the lower parts
of some holes were too wet to split.

The site geologist and Competent Person
consider that overall the results are acceptable
for interpretation purposes.

No evidence of significant sample bias due to
preferential concentration or depletion of fine
or coarse material was observed.

No evidence of significant down hole or inter-
sample contamination was observed in the
samples that were too wet to split.

Sample
recoveries
were
continuously
monitored by the geologist on site and
adjustments to drilling methodology were
made in an effort to optimise sample recovery
andqualitywhere necessary.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature.
Core
(or
costean,

The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.

All
RC
samples
were
logged
by
an
experienced geologist directly into a digital
logging system with data uploaded directly
into an Excel spreadsheet and transferred to
a laptop computer.

All RC chip sample trays and some back-up
samples are stored on site at Kalkaroo.

Logging is semi-quantitative and 100% of
reported intersections have been logged.

Logging is of a sufficiently high standard to
support
any
subsequent
interpretations,
resource
estimations
and
mining
and
metallurgical studies.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter,
half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary
split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness
of
the
sample
preparation
technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected,

RC drill chips were received directly from the
drilling rig via a cyclone and were riffle split
on 1 metre intervals to obtain 2-3 kg samples.

Sampling size is considered to be appropriate
for the style of mineralisation observed. Assay
repeatability for gold and other metals has
not proven to be an issue in the past and is
checked with regular duplicates.

All
Havilah
samples
were
collected
in
numbered calico bags that were sent to BV
assay lab in Adelaide.

At BV assay lab the samples are crushed in a
jaw crusher to a nominal 10mm (method
PR102) from which a 3kg split is obtained using

and a range of other metals by BV methods
MA101 and 102.

All sample pulps are retained by Havilah so
that check or other elements may be assayed
usingthesepulps in the future.
Quality of
assay data and
laboratory
tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or
total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld
XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in
determining the analysis including instrument
make and model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy
(ie lack of bias) and precision have been
established.

Fire assay method FA001 is a total gold
analysis.

Assay data accuracy and precision was
continuously checked through submission of
field and laboratory standards, blanks and
repeats which were inserted at a nominal rate
of approximately 1 per 25 drill samples.

Assay data for laboratory standards and
repeats
for
Kalkaroo
were
previously

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

All previous exploration data has been
integrated into Havilah’s databases.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

In
general
the
mineralisation
style
is
stratabound replacement and vein style
copper-gold mineralisation within Willyama
Supergroup rocks of the Curnamona Craton.

At Kalkaroo, the stratabound mineralisation is
uniformly distributed along more than 3 km
of strike that follows an arc around the 35
degree dipping northern nose of the Kalkaroo
south dome. It is hosted by an 80m-120m
thick mineralised horizon that is sandwiched
between psammitic footwall rocks and a thick
pelitic hangingwall sequence.

In part, the mineralisation is associated with
near-vertical, mineralised quartz vein breccia
fracture/fault fillings, which probably formed
channel ways for the mineralising fluids.
Interference
folding
resulted
in
dome
structures which probably acted as structural
traps for the rising mineralising fluids carried
by these vertical structures.

The mineralising events were associated with
iron-rich and sodium-rich alteration fronts,
which are manifest as widespread fine-
grained
magnetite
in
the
lower
sandy
formations and as pervasive albite alteration,
overprinted by later potassic veining and
alteration.

Erosion in the Mesozoic and Tertiary period
exposed the region to prolonged and deep
weathering.
Consequently,
the
original
sulphide
mineralisation
shows
typical
supergene enrichment features in its upper
part, caused by oxidation of the primary
sulphides in the weathering zone, forming a
soft clay rich rock called saprolite. This is
manifest in a sub-horizontal stratification of
the ore minerals from top to bottom:
1. Supergene free gold in saprolite, with
generally minor copper, recoverable by
gravity and cyanide leaching methods.
2. Native copper and gold in saprolite,
largely recoverable by gravity methods.
3. Chalcocite dominant with gold,
recoverable by conventional flotation.
4. Chalcopyrite dominant with gold and
locally rich molybdenum, recoverable by
conventional flotation.

Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum
grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and
cut-off grades are usually Material and should be
stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be shown in
detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.

Not applicable as not reporting mineral
resources.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be
reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this
effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’).

Downhole lengths are reported. Drillholes are
typically oriented with the objective of
intersecting
mineralisation
as
near
as
possible to right angles, and hence downhole
intersections in general are as near as
possible to true width.

For
the
purposes
of
the
geological
interpretations and resource calculations the
true widths are always used.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being reported. These
should include, but not be limited to a plan view of
drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional
views.

Not applicable as not reporting a mineral
discovery.
Balanced
Reporting

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill
holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches,
mine workings and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration
Results is not practicable, representative reporting
of both low and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.

Not applicable as not reporting mineral
resources.
