[ 1 February 2021]

KALKAROO POSITIVE DRILLING RESULTS

Havilah Resources Limited ( Havilah or the Company ) ( ASX : HAV ) is pleased to report further economic grade copper and gold drilling results in the last three reverse circulation (RC) drillholes from its 2020 West Kalkaroo drilling campaign. These results continue to support the development potential of Havilah’s large Kalkaroo copper-gold deposit ( Kalkaroo ) in northeastern South Australia, near Broken Hill.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Higher grade gold and copper intersections, including: 16 metres @ 1.31 g/t gold; 10 metres @ 1.51 g/t gold; and 13 metres @ 1.37% copper and 0.55 g/t gold in new West Kalkaroo RC drillholes.

  • Combined with earlier results, drilling confirms at least 100 metres horizontal true width of copper-gold mineralisation in the target fault intersection zone, with further extensions likely.

  • Havilah advised by the South Australian government that its Kalkaroo project will be eligible for a new mine reduced royalty rate of 2% for the first five years of production.

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

“Kalkaroo continues to deliver consistently mineralised copper and gold drilling intersections.

“These results confirm a continuous gold-copper mineralised zone over 100 metres wide in the fault intersection zone, with substantial scope to materially increase resource tonnages in this part of the Kalkaroo deposit.

“Kalkaroo is a structurally controlled, replacement style disseminated sulphide copper-gold deposit of similar type to that found in the Paterson Province in Western Australia, such as the Winu and Havieron copper-gold deposits, and compares favourably with these large new discoveries.

“Our primary focus remains on advancing the West Kalkaroo gold open pit towards development during 2021, subject to receipt of required approvals and financing,” he said.

Havilah’s Latest Drilling Results

The three holes were drilled into the fault intersection zone that lies to the east of the planned gold open pit at West Kalkaroo (Figure 1). This area is considered favourable for vein and breccia style copper-gold mineralisation due to greater fracturing intensity caused by the combined fault dislocations. The holes lie in the vicinity of an earlier Newcrest drillhole (NKAC0171) that intersected 45 metres of 0.90 g/t gold and 12 metres of 1.07% copper. Significant drill intercepts returned from the fault intersection zone, in part lying outside of the current Kalkaroo JORC Mineral Resource envelope, include:

KKRC0588 : 16 metres of 1.31 g/t gold from 69-85 metres (base of Tertiary and upper saprolite gold zone). (Figure 3) 37 metres of 0.52 g/t gold from 99-136 metres (saprolite gold and native copper zone). 21 metres of 0.39% copper from 136-157 metres (mostly chalcocite copper sulphide zone).

KKRC0589 : 5 metres of 0.72 g/t gold from 79-84 metres (base of Tertiary and upper saprolite zone). (Figure 2) 22 metres of 0.40 g/t gold from 97-119 metres (saprolite gold zone).

31 metres of 0.19% copper from 150-181 metres (copper sulphide zone).

KKRC0590: 10 metres of 1.51 g/t gold from 102-112 metres (saprolite gold zone).

(Figure 2) 13 metres of 1.37% copper and 0.55 g/t gold from 133-146 metres (copper sulphide zone).

Figure 1 Location of drillhole cross sections (Figures 2 and 3) in the fault intersection zone at West Kalkaroo. Also shown is the planned West Kalkaroo gold open pit outline (blue) which is being advanced towards development during 2021 subject to receipt of required approvals and financing.

Key points of note from the drilling are:

  1. The stacked sub-horizontal mineralised zones as shown by the downhole assays and geological logs in the cross sections (Figures 2 and 3), including:

  2. Persistent gold mineralisation of economic grades near the base of Tertiary cover and saprolite boundary.

  3. Generally consistently mineralised underlying saprolite gold.

  4. Frequent long copper and gold intervals in the underlying native copper and saprolite gold zones.

  5. Re-distribution of copper and gold in the upper oxidised ore has occurred during the deep weathering processes that affected the Kalkaroo primary sulphide orebody.

  6. Faulting and associated fracturing and veining has exerted a major control on the distribution of the primary copper and gold mineralisation, which is likely to persist below Havilah’s current drilling depth limit of approximately 200 metres.

Drilling at Kalkaroo during 2021 will initially focus on sterilisation drilling in the vicinity of planned West Kalkaroo mining infrastructure (eg. processing plant, waste dump). Further exploration drilling along the main Kalkaroo fault to the east will be undertaken subject to drilling rig availability, due to the good prospects for extending the fault-controlled mineralisation in this direction.

The West Kalkaroo project economics will be assisted by a recent decision by the South Australian government that the Kalkaroo project will be eligible for a new mine reduced royalty rate of 2% for the first five years of production.

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 0.89% CuEq 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 copper-gold deposits in Australia on a CuEq Ore Reserve basis.

Substantial increases in long-term forecast US$ gold and copper prices since the original Kalkaroo prefeasibility study ( PFS ) was released (refer to ASX announcement of 18 June 2019) has resulted in a 60% increase in the Kalkaroo project pre-tax NPV7.5% to $903 million applying the same PFS financial model (refer to ASX announcement of 2 December 2020). At the same time Havilah has considerably de-risked the Kalkaroo project by securing ownership of the land and the required mining leases (and a Native Title Mining Agreement) over the deposit.

Low sovereign risk, advanced, large-scale open pit copper-gold development opportunities like Kalkaroo, with associated land ownership, are rare at a time when renewable energy and electric vehicles are adding to the demand for copper and cobalt. South Australia’s mining friendly government and enforcement of world’s best practice ESG (environmental, social and governance) regulations means the Kalkaroo project ticks all boxes as a potential future source of ethical copper (and potentially cobalt).

Comparison with geologically similar copper-gold deposits in Australia

Geologically, Kalkaroo may be classified as a structurally controlled, replacement style disseminated sulphide copper-gold deposit. Its closest analogues in Australia appear to be in the Paterson Province in Western Australia, including the Nifty copper deposit and Telfer gold deposit and also possibly two significant recent copper-gold discoveries at Havieron (Greatland Gold plc and Newcrest Mining Limited, ASX: NCM) and Winu (Rio Tinto Limited, ASX: RIO) (refer to the table below for a summary of comparative data).

These deposits have been drilled to much greater depths than the Kalkaroo deposit. While Havieron will only be exploitable by underground mining due to the 420 metre thickness of barren cover rocks, the upper portion of Winu deposit may be accessible by open pit. Kalkaroo compares favourably with the Winu deposit in terms of CuEq grade and size, but is at shallower depths which is partly responsible for the considerably lower drilling discovery cost per resource tonne for Kalkaroo.

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 very small number
of samples 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.
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 very
small number of samples 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.
Very few samples were too wet to split.

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

No evidence of sample bias due to preferential
concentration of fine or coarse material was
observed. If anything, it is possible that some
wet samples may have under-called the native
copper assays due to loss of the heavier
sample fractions.

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

All
RC
samples
were
logged
by
an
experienced geologist directly into a digital
loggingsystem with data uploaded directly

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

Logging is of a sufficiently high standard to
support
any
subsequent
interpretations,

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,
including
for
instance
results
for
field
duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain
size of the material being sampled.

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 ALS
assay lab in Adelaide.

At ALS assay lab the samples are crushed in a
jaw crusher to a nominal 6mm (method CRU-
21) from which a 3kg split is obtained using a
riffle splitter. The split is pulverized in an LM5
to 85% passing 75 microns (method PUL-23).
These pulps are stored in paper bags.

All samples were analysed for gold by 50g fire
assay, with AAS finish using ALS method Au-
AA26 and a range of other metals by ALS
method ME-ICP61.

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 Au-AA26 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
statistically analysed and no material issues
were noted.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant intersections by
either
independent
or
alternative
company
personnel.
The use of twinned holes.

Checking of the new Au and Cu assays against
Au and Cu assays from adjacent earlier
drillholes indicated good overall correlation.

Rigorous internal QC procedures are followed
to check all assay results.

The
RC
drillholes
were
positioned
at
appropriate spacings to follow up and evaluate
mineralisation in a fault intersection zone.

Sample compositing was not used.
Orientation of
data in
relation to
geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation
and the orientation of key mineralised structures
is considered to have introduced a sampling bias,
this should be assessed and reported if material.

The drillhole azimuth and dip was chosen to
intersect the interpreted mineralised zones as
nearly as possible to right angles and at the
desired positions to maximise the value of the
drilling data.

At this stage, no material sampling bias is
known to have been introduced by the drilling
direction.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample security.

RC chip samples are directly collected from
the riffle splitter in numbered calico bags.

Several calico bags are placed in each
polyweave bag which are then sealed with
cable ties. The samples are transported to the
assay lab by Havilah personnel at the end of
each field stint.

There is minimal opportunity for systematic
tampering with the samples as they are not
out of the control of Havilah personnel until
they are delivered to the assay lab.

This is considered to be a secure and
reasonable
procedure
and
no
known
instances
of
tampering

All previous exploration data has been

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.

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.
Drill hole
information
A summary of all information material to the
under-standing of the exploration results including
a tabulation of the following information for all
Material drill holes:
o
easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o
elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar
o
dip and azimuth of the hole
o
down hole length and interception depth
o
hole length
If the exclusion of this information is justified on
the basis that the information is not Material and
this
exclusion
does
not
detract
from
the
understanding of the report, the Competent Person
should clearly explain why this is the case.

This
information
is
provided
in
the
accompanying
table
for
the
relevant
drillholes.
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.

Not applicable as not reporting mineral
resources.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
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.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material,
should be reported including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical survey results;
geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test results;
bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics;
potential
deleterious
or
contaminating substances.

Relevant
geological
observations
are
reported.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g.
tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or
large- scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions,
including
the
main
geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided
this information is not commercially sensitive.

Additional drilling may be carried out in the
future to explore strike and depth extensions
and for resource delineation.
