Alderan’s Ground Magnetics and Rock Sampling Highlights Multiple Copper and Gold Targets at Detroit

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Ground magnetics over Alderan’s Detroit Project in Utah identifies multiple targets which are potential indicators of copper and gold deposits

  • Several targets, including the Basin Complex and Copperhead, have associated highly anomalous gold and copper in BLEG stream sampling

  • Alderan rock samples at Copperhead returned grades up to 9g/t gold and 3.2% copper

  • Grid soil sampling and an IP geophysical survey underway to assist in drill site selection

  • Alderan plans to commence drilling at Detroit Project in Q3 CY2021.

Alderan Resources Limited (ASX:AL8) ( Alderan or the Company ) is pleased to provide the results from a high resolution ground magnetic geophysical survey and rock chip sampling completed over the Detroit Project, located in the Drum Mountains region of western Utah, USA, which has highlighted several new gold and copper targets.

Alderan recently consolidated its exploration area at Detroit to cover 24.7km[2] through a series of agreements with tenement owners[1] . This consolidation provides the Company with the opportunity to conduct the first ever modern exploration over the entire Detroit mining district.

Commenting on the results, Alderan Managing Director Scott Caithness said:

“Alderan’s ground magnetics and rock chip sampling at Detroit supports the earlier BLEG stream sediment results and past rock sample results and reinforces our confidence that the project has excellent potential for a buried copper, gold and molybdenum rich porphyry deposit plus skarn and carbonate replacement copper and gold deposits related to intrusives and structures.”

“Grid soil sampling and induced polarisation geophysical surveys are already underway to clearly define targets with drill testing planned to commence during the third quarter.”

Detroit Project

The Detroit Project lies within the Detroit Mining District, approximately 175km southwest of Salt Lake City in Utah, and contains numerous historical copper, gold and manganese mines. The district has been explored for copper and gold in the past by majors such as Anaconda Copper, Kennecott, Newmont, BHP and FreeportMcMoRan but no one company was able to build a significant contiguous land position to enable district-wide modern exploration. The United States Geological Survey ( USGS ) has also explored the area, sampling extensive mineralised jasperoids.

Figure 1 : Alderan Resources project locations in western Utah.

Following consolidation of the project area, Alderan compiled past exploration data and completed stream sediment sampling. This followed its earlier drill program of seven holes at the Mizpah prospect[2] . The results from this work suggest potential for significant copper and gold mineralisation.

Ground Magnetic Survey

Alderan completed a high resolution ground magnetic survey over the central portion of the Detroit project area. The objective of the survey was to help identify concealed intrusive bodies and structures which have potential to control and/or host significant copper and gold mineralisation. The survey area and geology is shown in Figure 2.

Contractor Magee Geophysical Services acquired a total of 194.6 line kilometres of magnetic data along east-west lines spaced 50m apart using Geometrics G-858 caesium vapour magnetometers. This data was merged with 43.9km of existing data also acquired by Magee in June 2020.

The magnetic data was reduced to pole and then processed to derivative

The reduced to pole magnetic image in Figure 3 highlights several significant magnetic features, including the prominent Basin Complex, Copperhead and Joy Fault in the north.

==> picture [300 x 365] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3: Reduced to pole magnetic image highlighting the Basin Complex and Copperhead anomalies plus the east-west Joy Fault zone in the north.

Basin Complex

The Basin Complex is approximately 1.5km in diameter and consists of a central magnetic high, wrapped by a magnetic low zone which is in turn surrounded on the western side by an arcuate magnetic high zone. The Complex consists of a number of magnetic highs and lower responses within the outer arcuate magnetic zone which are interpreted to be caused by fresh and altered hornblende diorite intrusive bodies respectively and the prominent central magnetic high which is concealed under recent cover.

The Basin Complex is a high priority target as it conforms to a classic porphyry model with the inner magnetic anomaly being a potential copper-gold mineralised potassic altered core which is surrounded by an outer non-magnetic zone of propylitic alteration. Stream sediment sampling completed by Alderan in March 2020[3] supports this model with high order copper in catchments draining the anomaly area to both the north and south (see Figures 6 & 7 below).

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 11 May 2021

Analysis of 3D magnetic susceptibility inversion modelling (magnetic susceptibility >0.03 SI units cutoff) carried out on the Basin Complex supports it being caused by a multi-phase intrusive complex consistent with mapped geology. The top of the interpreted potassic zone lies 100m below surface and is approximately 450m long and 250m wide. Its shape is irregular as it extends to a depth of more than 800m. It represents a high priority target for drill testing.

Copperhead

The Copperhead prospect is highlighted by a discrete magnetic anomaly supported by high-grade gold and copper in rock samples and highly anomalous stream sediment assays in catchments draining the area.

It is one of many historical copper and gold mines in the Detroit mining district (others include Ibex, Martha, Mizpah and Drum). These old mines can be associated with structure and low amplitude magnetic anomalies that are interpreted to represent altered intrusives or skarns. 3D magnetic susceptibility inversion modelling (>0.03 SI units cutoff) suggests that the Copperhead anomaly is due to a structurally controlled skarn body.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 11 May 2021

Joy Fault

The Joy Fault is a strongly developed east-west structure with evidence of mineralisation from historical exploration. It defines the contact between magnetically active Middle Tertiary igneous rocks to the north and non-magnetic Paleozoic sediments to the south. Gold-bearing jasperoids occur over a distance of approximately 1.4km along the fault. Some modern exploration and mining activity (Clara B open cut) has been carried out on the jasperoids; however this work has not tested the full thickness of potentially favourable stratigraphy.

Rock Sampling

Alderan has received multi-element assay results for 197 rock samples collected throughout the Detroit project area. The sampling focused around old mine workings and within recently acquired option tenements. Grades range from <0.01 - 9.08 g/t gold and 1.0 - 32,100ppm (3.21%) copper with 27 samples assaying >1g/t gold and 17 samples assaying >0.5% Cu. The sampling indicates that high gold and copper grades remain in dump samples and jasperoid outcrops in and around the old mining areas which surround the Basin Complex.

The Copperhead mine stands out. A total of 24 rock samples were collected from dump and mine walls, eight of which grade greater than 2g/t gold and six grades greater than 1% copper. The highest grades of both gold and copper in the entire sampling programme come from Copperhead. These rock sample results validate Alderan’s stream sampling where catchments draining Copperhead have highly anomalous copper and gold.

Historical Drilling

Limited and focused historical drilling was completed in and around the Basin Complex, mostly in the 1960’s and 1980’s, with its early focus on a shallow, thin, low-grade chalcocite coppermolybdenum deposit off the eastern margin of the interpreted potassic core zone and in the 1980s on the Mizpah copper-gold prospect to the southeast.

Drilling data available on the chalcocite deposit is incomplete, with data obtained indicating that the holes were generally shallow (less than 100m) and assaying incomplete. Alderan’s drilling in 2020 included one hole, DD20M-003, which targeted the interpreted potassic core. Tenement boundaries at the time restricted where this hole could be drilled and the current ground magnetic data defining the Basin Complex was not available. DD20M-003 is believed to have stopped short of the interpreted potassic core based on the 3D magnetic inversion modelling completed.

Next Steps

Grid soil sampling and an induced polarisation geophysical survey are underway. The soils are collected every 50m on 200m spaced east-west lines. The results of this work are expected to refine individual prospect areas and optimise drill target selection, with drilling planned to commence in the third quarter of CY2021.

Exploration Acknowledgment and The Drum Mountains of west central Utah have long been a subject of mining and exploration for gold, copper, and
done by other appraisal of exploration by manganese, starting from 1800’s and continued until early 1900’s. This was followed by renewed interest in beryllium,

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.
Geology Deposit type, geological The focus of Alderan’s exploration efforts at Detroit is to discover a Carlin-like gold deposit. Key feature of Carlin-like
setting and style of deposits include:
mineralisation. a) Favourable permeable reactive rocks (silty limestones and limey siltstones)
b) Favourable structures often coincident with mineral-related intrusive
c) Gold-bearing hydrothermal solutions
d) Micron-sized gold in fine-grained disseminated pyrite
e) Common geochemical indicators As, Sb, Ba, Te, Se, Hg
