Highlights

  • High definition induced polarisation survey commences across the Frisco Project including an electromagnetic survey at Accrington

  • 10,000m drill program set to commence in late July/early August starting at the historic Cactus Cu-Au-Ag mine

  • Objective of the program is to define resources and test the world class potential of the Frisco Project

High definition induced polarisation and electromagnetic survey commenced

==> picture [157 x 5] intentionally omitted <==

The Board of Alderan Resources Limited (“Alderan”) (ASX: AL8) is pleased to announce that exploration work has commenced on the Frisco Project in Utah, USA, with geophysics crews starting an induced polarisation (“IP”) and electromagnetic (“EM”) survey. A drilling contract has also been executed with drilling expected to commence in late July/early August.

Alderan has engaged Dias Geophysics to conduct a high definition IP survey over the entire Frisco Project (24.77km[2] ), and an EM survey over the Accrington copper-zinc skarn prospect. Geophysics crews have been mobilised and have arrived at site.

The IP survey is designed to complement existing datasets and to assist in the definition of current and new targets. The EM survey is to be conducted over the large Accrington skarn prospect with the objective to identify conductive bodies that may represent massive sulphide bodies. It is expected that both the surveys will be completed within 6-8 weeks.

Cactus Cu-Au-Ag Breccia Pipes

The Cactus project is composed of at least three hydrothermal breccia pipes including the historic Cactus coppergold-silver mine which will be the focus of initial drilling. Mineralisation is hosted within a series of outcropping quartztourmaline-chalcopyrite-pyrite breccia pipes which are aligned along a west-northwest trending structural corridor some 1,000m long by up to 400m wide.

The Cactus pipe was mined across over 200m in strike, up to 55m in width and to approximately 275m below surface with mineralisation remaining open along strike and at depth. Major mining activities stopped in 1915 at the southeastern boundary of the claim when the neighbouring claim holder started legal proceedings. Alderan holds the rights to all adjoining claims. Despite the historical mining, significant mineralisation remains within the breccia pipe. Historical drilling at the Cactus Breccia Pipe returned significant copper-gold-silver mineralisation as shown in Table 1.

Figure 2 Cactus Breccia Pipes, which lie adjacent to the Cactus Canyon Porphyry target. The Cactus breccia is shown in the inset image with outcropping quartz-tourmaline-chalcopyrite-pyrite breccia.

Historical drilling did not commonly assay for gold and silver, despite the mine being a historical copper-gold-silver producer. Alderan intends to conduct infill and extensional drilling with an aim to establish an initial JORC compliant resource at Cactus. Drilling will also test the continuity of mineralisation at depth and along strike between the Cactus and Comet/New Year breccia pipes. The Comet and New Year breccia pipes have had limited exploration comprising mostly of shallow drilling. At Comet, historical shallow drilling intersected copper-gold-silver mineralisation to end of hole. Magnetic data indicate that the Comet breccia pipe may be of similar size to the Cactus pipe and that mineralisation may be continuous between these pipes. Limited drilling at the New Year pipe intersected significant copper, however drilling was restricted to drilling down dip of outcropping breccia.

All breccia pipes are hosted within strongly magnetic Cactus - Monzodiorite and appear as distinct magnetic lows within Alderan’s airborne magnetic survey (see Figures 6 & 8). Demagnetisation is caused by hydrothermal alteration and replacement of host rock with non-magnetic breccia material during emplacement. 3D inversion modelling of magnetic data shows a deep downward continuation of these demagnetised zones (Figure 6) in direct spatial correlation with breccia mineralisation outcropping and underground, indicating a potential coalescence of breccias at depth.

Figure 6 New Year, Cactus and Comet breccia pipes shown with historical workings and known mineralised breccia (above) and interpreted continuation of the mineralised breccia’s associated with the continued downward extension of demagnetised zones as illustrated in the ASVI model (below).

The Cactus Breccia Pipes are interpreted to have been formed within the context of an underlying mineralised porphyry intrusion (the Cactus Canyon prospect). Deep historical drilling (AMAX hole 520-1), located in between the Cactus and New Year breccia pipes, intersected an interval containing mineralised porphyry assaying 30.48m @ 0.22% Cu (from 426.72 to 457.20m). Gold was not assayed. This intersection is spatially associated with the modelled zone of low magnetisation, highlighting the potential significance of this exploration target. Porphyritic rocks are often found as clasts within the breccia, material at surface and within the old mine dumps that have been mapped in outcrop adjacent to breccia pipes.

About the Cactus Canyon Cu-Mo-Au Porphyry System

Porphyry copper deposits account for the majority of the world’s copper production and are often large, world class, long life mines. These intrusive systems often result in the emplacement of several associated deposits types including proximal skarns, breccia pipes, mantos and epithermal gold deposits.

Work undertaken by Alderan has confirmed the presence of a large central porphyry system at the heart of the Frisco Project which has been named the Cactus Canyon prospect. The Company believes that the Cactus Breccia Pipes form part of the wider Cactus Canyon porphyry system, which also incorporates the Accrington and Horn Cu-Zn-PbAg skarns.

Key features of the system include:

  • A large central magnetic anomaly up to 2km in diameter located below and adjacent to the Cactus Breccia Pipes;

  • Numerous outcropping and often copper bearing intrusive porphyritic dikes with historical drilling also intersecting copper-molybdenum bearing dikes adjacent to the central Cactus Canyon target;

  • at least 5 individual porphyry intrusive phases identified to date, ranging from mafic to felsic in composition;

  • • the presence of mineralised breccia pipes and large skarns, which typically form contemporaneously and proximal to underlying porphyry intrusions;

  • regional scale alteration typical of porphyry intrusives; and

  • large scale geochemical zonation across the entire Frisco Project with distal gold-silver anomalism, trending to more proximal zinc-lead and central copper-molybdenum dominant anomalism - a key signature of many porphyry deposits in the world.

The induced polarisation being undertaken by the Company will cover the entirety of the Frisco Project and it is hoped it will provide further evidence of widescale mineralised exploration targets at Cactus Canyon, Cactus and Accrington.

About Alderan Resources Limited

Alderan is a mineral exploration Company with a focus on the Frisco Project, located in Utah, United States of America. The Frisco Project encompasses an area of significant historical mining activity with numerous old mines and workings across an area of approximately 7km by 4km. These include:

  • the Cactus copper-gold-silver deposit and breccia pipe, one of several mineralised breccia pipes over an area of approximately 1000 metres by 400 metres. Modelling of magnetic survey data demonstrates that these pipes are likely connected at depth;

  • the Accrington copper-zinc-silver-gold skarn, which hosts extensive mineralisation across an area of 1.8 kilometres by 1.2 kilometres; and

  • the Horn zinc deposit, a historic lead-silver mine, which contains significant amounts of unmined high grade zinc.

The Company believes that these three deposits are genetically related to, and were formed contemporaneously with, underlying mineralised (copper-molybdenum-gold) porphyry intrusions. Work undertaken by the Company has confirmed the presence of a mineralised porphyry system beneath and adjacent to the Cactus breccia pipes.

APPENDIX 1

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Report

Cactus Prospect

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.
• Sampling of core was generally of 5 feet or
10 feet over mineralised intervals in the
historic drilling, no duplicates, standards or
blanks are known.
• Select intervals were used for minor core
sections and composite samples.
• Sample weight of historic sampling is
unknown.
• Alderan resampling of Amex exploration inc
(“Amex”) drillholes 520-4 Assays completed
at ALS Labs Reno Nevada - no
standards/blanks - 9 ft composite sample
interval of section 575ft - 875ft (only ⅓ of
original half core).
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).
• Drilling: Anaconda - diamond; Rosario -
surface (unspecified hammer); Rosario -
underground (diamond).
• Historic drilling includes diamond core,
reverse circulation, hammer bit and rotary air
blasting.
• For some of the historic drilling, the drill
type could not be determined, but was most-
likely reverse circulation or open hammer.
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
• Core recovery rate not recorded
historically.
• Observations by Alderan of Amex Drillholes
520-1 - 520-4 showed very good core
recovery - predominantly >90% and up to
100%.
• Measures were not taken to maximise
sample recovery historically.

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.
• As the detailed geological geometry of the
deposit is yet to be determined, sample bias is
unknown. However, given the steep drilling
angle and probably sub-vertical nature of the
mineralization it is likely.

minimum grade truncations (eg 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. _

A tabulation of material exploration
results are provided in table 7.2 of the
Independent Geologist’s Report
