ALDERAN PREPARES FOR OCTOBER DRILLING TO TEST GOLD POTENTIAL AT DETROIT PROJECT, UTAH

HIGHLIGHTS

DETROIT MINING PROJECT

Mizpah Prospect

  • Alderan expects to commence drill program at the Mizpah prospect in mid-October (once approvals are received) after completing a review of data from previous exploration on the prospect.

  • Alderan completed first-pass mapping and rock chip sampling, focussing on the jasperoid occurrences, which mark the upper parts of the interpreted faults in the prospect, reactive rocks, and structure.

  • Rock chip assays returned values up to 6.89 g/t gold. Mizpah’s gold associated geochemistry is very typical of Carlin-like (distal disseminated) mineral systems with significant values for silver, arsenic, antimony, mercury, and thallium. Associated significant copper, lead, zinc, bismuth, and tellurium values demonstrate a direct magmatic association with the gold mineralisation.

  • Shallow historical drilling has been located, compromising 124 vertical holes for a total of 2,889m (average hole depth 23 meters). Results cannot be released in compliance with the JORC Code 2012, due to poor historical records over the last 35 years.

Detroit semi-regional exploration

  • Alderan has completed semi-regional BLEG/Stream geochemistry, prepared and sent for assaying. Results expected end of October.

  • Alderan completed semi-regional geological mapping to better understand the mineralisation styles and controls on mineralisation in the Detroit mining region.

Alderan Resources Limited (ASX: AL8) ( Alderan or the Company ) is pleased to announce it will commence drilling in mid-October at the Mizpah prospect at the Detroit Mining Project, Utah, USA – one of two projects Alderan is earning up to a 70% interest through an agreement with Tamra Mining LLC.

Introduction

The Detroit Mining Project is in the Drum Mountains, located about 56km northwest of Delta, Utah, which are host to a range of mineralisation styles, including skarn, porphyry, and Carlin like gold mineralisation. Location of the range and adjacent areas are shown below (Figure 1). The area has had limited previous exploration, due to complex small-scale ground holdings.

Geological background

Alderan has reviewed previous exploration, conducted ground magnetics and rock chip sampling, and completed detailed geological mapping. Shallow historical drilling has been located, compromising 124 vertical holes for a total of 2,889m (average hole depth 23 meters). The drilling (1983-6) and assaying is poorly recorded and therefore unable to be released in accordance with the JORC Code 2012. The focus of Alderan’s exploration efforts at Detroit is to discover a Carlin-like gold deposit (Figures 2,3).

Key features[1 ] of Carlin-like deposits include:

  • a) Favourable permeable reactive rocks (silty limestones and limey siltstones);

  • b) Favourable structures often coincident with mineral-related intrusives;

  • c) Gold-bearing hydrogeochemical / hydrothermal solutions;

  • d) Micron-sized gold in fine-grained disseminated pyrite;

  • e) Common geochemical indicators As, Sb, Ba, Te, Se, Hg; and

  • f) Common argillization and jasperoids; fairly common decalcification.

Figure 2 : Conceptual cross section of Carlin like mineralisation

a) Favourable permeable reactive rocks (silty limestones and limey siltstones)

Previous mapping[2] at the Drum Mountain area noted a 640m thick favourable (for gold mineralisation) reactive sediment (carbonate, siltstone) stratigraphy (Figure 3) for Carlin-like mineralisation. Detailed mapping by Alderan indicates potential for about 300m of this stratigraphy in the Mizpah and Drum Prospects.

b) Favourable structures

Alderan’s detailed mapping and rock chip sampling has shown mineralised structures exist in the Mizpah and Drum Prospects (Figures 4 and 5). The significance of the interpreted structure and the reactive stratigraphic pile confirmed Alderan’s interpretation of potential for a Carlin-like “Christmas tree stacking” system.

c) Gold bearing hydrothermal / hydrogeochemical solutions.

Jasperoid development is seen as a result of hydrothermal solutions moving through faults. Sampling of jasperoids by Alderan on its mining claims has returned up to 6.89 g/t Au results (Figure 4). This concurs well with the previous sampling by USGS[3,4] .

d) Micron-sized gold in fine-grained disseminated pyrite

A USGS survey of 4,000 samples from the Drum Mountains reported the small size of the gold particles in the samples are similar to that found in the gold deposit at Carlin, Nevada. It was also noted that no pannable gold was found in samples from the Drum Mountains which contained as much as 4 ounces (100+ g/t Au) of gold per ton[3,4] .

e) Common geochemical indicators As, Sb, Ba, Te, Se, Hg

Rock chips indicate anomalous levels of the main geochemical indicator minerals for Carlin-like mineralisation, being As [arsenic] (range 4-4,100 ppm), Sb [antimony] (range 0.65-49 ppm), Ba [barium] (range 40-2490 ppm), Te [tellurium] (range 0.03-12.8 ppm), Se [selenium] (range 1-11 ppm), Hg [mercury] (range 0.1- 0.3 ppm).

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 30 September 2020

f) Common alteration styles in the area.

Hydrothermal alteration of the intrusive rocks has been mapped by Alderan geologists. It is commonly presented as a broad zones of argillic alteration that locally are accompanied with zones of decalcification of the host volcano-sedimentary sequence. Pervasive silica alterations and developments of the jasperoids are also commonly observed.

Rock-chip sampling results

Alderan completed first-pass mapping and rock chip sampling, focussing on the jasperoid occurrences, which mark the upper parts of the interpreted faults in the prospect, reactive rocks and structure.

Rock chip assays returned values up to 6.89 g/t gold (Table 1). Mizpah’s gold associated geochemistry is very typical of Carlin-like (distal disseminated) mineral systems with significant values for silver, arsenic, antimony, mercury and thallium (Table 1). Associated significant copper, lead, zinc, bismuth and tellurium values demonstrate a direct magmatic association with the gold mineralisation

Next Steps

Alderan’s review of results from a ground magnetic program integrated with the surface geological and geochemical mapping at the Mizpah prospect has identified two intense magnetic anomalies.

Alderan has designed a drill program (Figure 6) which is expected to commence early-October after permitting is received.

The drilling program consists of a minimum of six holes for 1,200m, and aims to test the full thickness of the reactive stratigraphy beneath and down-dip of the Mizpah oxidised gold mineralisation, as well as known gold mineralised intrusives and skarns that are reflected in the ground magnetics.

Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criterial in this section apply to all succeeding sections)

Criteria of
JORC Code
2012
JORC Code (2012) explanation Details of the Reported Project
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialized 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.
Rock chip samples from the outcrops, road cuts and mine dumps. Samples submitted for assay
typically weigh 2-3.5 kg.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample
representivity
and
the
appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Rock samples comprise multiple chips considered to be representative of the variety of rocks in
outcrop.
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 (e.g. ‘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
(e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
Samples were taken as a part of a routine prospecting and geological due diligence of the property
and was not intent for Resource Estimation purposes.
The used sampling procedure is a standard work universally used in the industry at the early stages
of exploration and prospecting. The obtained data are classified as exploration information,
however, cannot be used for quantitative evaluations of the mineral properties.

| 11

Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic,
etc) and details (e.g. 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).
N/A – no drilling completed.
Drill
sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
N/A – no drilling completed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
N/A – no drilling completed.
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.
N/A – no drilling completed.
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.
Logging was based on visual field diagnostics of the rocks, textures and alteration styles.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature.
Core
(or
costean,
channel,
etc)
photography.
Logging is qualitative. No photos of the outcrops were taken.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
100% of samples have been documented and geologically described.
Sub-sampling
techniques
and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter,
half or all core taken
The standard sampling procedure, referred as a grab sampling, was used. The procedure includes
collecting the rock-chips from the outcrops.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary
split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
N/A – not non-core.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness
of
the
sample
preparation
technique.
The sample preparation was completed by ALS USA, at their Reno Nevada Laboratories. Sample
preparation follows the standard procedure of the ALS lab, representing the industry common
practice.
Each sample was weighed, fine crushed to <2mm (70% pass) and split by a riffle splitter. The
sample was then pulverized up to 250g at 85% < 75um.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.
Quality of the comminution was controlled by the sieving the crushed and pulverised samples. That
check sieving was regularly applied and used with every batch of the 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.
Representativity of the samples was assured by collecting the rock chips from different parts of the
outcrops.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain
size of the material being sampled.
Samples are 2 – 3.5kg and this size is commonly used in the industry for the rock-chip sampling
outcrops at the prospecting stage.
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.
All samples were prepared using 4 acid digest technique and assayed by ICP-MS for 48 elements
(ME-MS61 code of ALS). Hg content was analysed using ICP-MS technique (Hg-MS42). Content
of gold was determined by analysing the 30 gram aliquotes using conventional Fire Assay technique
with atomic absorption finish (Au-AA23 code of ALS).

| 13

These are standard techniques commonly used for analysis of the gold mineralisation. 4acid digest
assures a most complete nature of the assayed results.
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.
N/A – none used.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g.
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have
been established.
All samples were subject to internal ALS Laboratories QC standards. Which included using blanks
and the laboratory standards.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by
either
independent
or
alternative
company
personnel.
N/A – no drilling completed.
The use of twinned holes. N/A – no drilling completed.
Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures,
data
verification,
data
storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
All field data is manually collected, entered into excel spreadsheets, validated and loaded into an
Access database.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. No adjustments made to the data.

Location
of
data points
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.
The samples were located using the hand-held GPS.
Specification of the grid system used. All data are recorded in a UTM zone 12 (North) NAD83 grid.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. RL values obtained by GPS were routinely compared with the nominal elevation values that were
deduced form the regional topographic datasets.
Data spacing
and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Sampling was sufficient for first pass reconnaissance rock chip sampling and geological mapping.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological and
grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource
and
Ore
Reserve
estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.
Samples were taken as a part of a routine prospecting and geological due diligence of the property
and was not intent to be used for Resource Estimation purposes.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. Sampled material was not bulked and/or composited in any of the physical manners.
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.
Samples were collected from the mineralised outcrops. This is conventional approach used at the
early stages of the property assessment. The results are indicative of the mineralisation styles and
allow to approximately assess the grade ranges but can not be used for quantitative estimation of
the endowment and can not be used for any quantitative valuations of the properties.
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.
Location of the samples relative to the geological structures produces unbiased sampling results.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security Unauthorised personnel did not approach the samples. All collected samples were safely kept by
the field geologists until it was handed over to the company personnel responsible for dispatching
samples to the lab.
Audits
or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
The sampling results have been internally reviewed by the company personnel. No external reviews
were undertaken of these data.

The Drum Mountains of west central Utah have long been a subject of mining and exploration for gold, copper, and
manganese, starting from 1800’s and continued until early 1900’s. This was followed by renewed interest in beryllium,
gold, manganese, and uranium in the past 20 years.
Gold and copper were discovered in the Drum Mountains in 1872, and from 1904 to 1917, gold, silver, and copper
was produced from siliceous replacement fissure deposits in jasperoids, limestone and dolomite, for a total value of
about $46,000.
Exploration for gold and base metals intermittently continued through the entire 20’s century. In particular, since early
1960’s, when jasperoids similar to that commonly found in highly productive gold mining districts have been identified
in the Drum Mountains of Utah, the specialised studies of the jasperoids have been undertaken by USGS and the
different mining companies. Sampling of these rocks commonly reveals anomalous concentrations of gold.

this
exclusion does not detract
from the understanding of
the report, the Competent
Person
should
clearly
explain why this is the case.
Not applicable, because there are no drillholes for reporting and the reported Exploration Results is based on
geochemical samples.
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. _
Not applicable. Data was not aggregated and geochemical samples are reported without averaging and/or
aggregation.
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. Data was not aggregated and geochemical samples are reported without averaging and/or
aggregation.
The assumptions used for
any
reporting
of
metal
equivalent values should be
clearly stated.
Not applicable.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths
and
intercept
lengths
These
relationships
are
particularly important in the
reporting
of
Exploration
Results.
Not applicable, because in the current announcement the reported Exploration Results does not contain estimates of
the thicknesses and strike lengths of mineralisation. True width of mineralisation is not known.
If the geometry of the
mineralisation with respect
to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be
reported.
Not applicable. Drillholes not reported in this announcement.

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’).
Not applicable. Drillholes not reported in this announcement
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.
Maps and tables are presented in the text of the release.
Balanced
reporting
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.
All new results are presented in the Table 1 in this release.
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.
No other data collected.
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).
Alderan has designed a drill program which is expected to commence mid-October after permitting is received.
The drilling program consists of a minimum of six holes for 1,200m, and aims to test the full thickness of the reactive
stratigraphy beneath and down-dip of the Mizpah oxidised gold mineralisation, as well as known gold mineralised
intrusives and skarns that are reflected in the ground magnetics.
