ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 14 December 2022

Rio Tinto’s Drilling Results at Alderan’s Frisco Project

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Rio Tinto subsidiary Kennecott Exploration Company (KEX) intersected 22.5m @ 0.15% Cu in drill hole SAWM0010 testing the Copper Gulch coincident magnetic and geochemistry anomaly

  • SAWM0010 was located 500m from Cactus Mine where KEX hole SAWM0001 drilled in 2020 intersected 41m @ 1.9% Cu, 0.62g/t Au in tourmaline breccia

  • Visual logging of hole SAWM0011 testing an IP survey anomaly with associated metal zoning along the margin of the southern Cactus intrusive stock between the historical Washington and Imperial copper-gold mines, identified two narrow mineralised intervals. Assay results expected in Q1, 2023

  • Kennecott can earn up to 70% interest in Frisco through US$30 million exploration spend over 10 years under its farm-in agreement with Alderan

Alderan Resources Limited (ASX: AL8) ( Alderan or the Company ) is pleased to update on Rio Tinto subsidiary Kennecott Exploration Company’s ( KEX or Kennecott ) drill holes SAWM0010 and SAWM0011 completed on the Copper Gulch and Reciprocity targets at Alderan’s Frisco Project in Utah, USA.

Assays for 220 samples have been received for Copper Gulch hole SAWM0010 which was drilled to test a coincident magnetic high modelled to a depth of 500m and anomalous copper geochemistry 500m southwest of the historical Cactus copper mine. Sample intervals ranged from 0.52-3.60m down the hole, but most commonly were either two or three metres. The hole traversed Cactus Stock monzonite over its entire 530m length with alteration consisting dominantly of phyllic quartz-sericite-pyrite veins higher in the hole and increasing potassic biotite-magnetite-sulphide±quartz veins at depth.

Mineralisation down the hole is typically low grade. Elevated copper assays (>0.1% Cu) are associated with vein controlled potassic and sodic-calcic alteration with the two highest copper assays, 0.41% Cu and 0.51% Cu, occurring in chalcopyrite-pyrite and potassium feldspar-magnetite veins between 414.30 – 414.82m and 505.50 – 507.00m respectively. The highest-grade continuous interval of mineralisation intersected down the hole is 22.5m @ 0.15% Cu from 495.0m.

KEX’s conclusion is that potassic and phyllic veins down the hole and local intervals containing >1% chalcopyrite support being on the periphery of a porphyry system. However, the low vein density and lack of quartz in potassic-sulphide veins suggests that any potential porphyry would be small, deep and low grade.

Managing Director of Alderan Resources, Scott Caithness commented on the results:

“While the assays for the Copper Gulch drill hole are low grade, there is a 23m mineralised interval grading 0.15% Cu towards the end of the hole and it is encouraging that the Kennecott team has not discounted the possibility of a copper mineralised porphyry at depth. It should also be remembered that this hole is only 500m west of the historical Cactus copper-gold mine where KEX drilling in 2020 intersected 41m grading 1.9% Cu, 0.62g/t Au within 74m @ 1.1% Cu, 0.35g/t Au from 219m in hole SAWM0001.”

KEX hole SAWM0011, testing a prominent IP survey conductivity anomaly with associated metal zoning on the margin of the Cactus stock between the historical Washington and Imperial mines, was drilled to a depth of 304.65m. The hole intersected garnet-pyroxene skarn throughout its length with minor monzonite dykes occurring to a depth of 166m. The skarn is mostly un-mineralised with only trace galena-sphalerite-pyrite observed. Two one metre mineralised intervals with higher contents of pyrite and molybdenite-tennantitepyrite-galena-sphalerite respectively occur below the monzonite towards the bottom of the hole. Assays for SAWM0011 are expected in Q1, 2023.

KEX’s next steps at Frisco will be determined pending drill results for hole SAWM0011.

Frisco Project

The Frisco Project lies approximately 300km southwest of Salt Lake City in Utah (Figure 2) and contains numerous historical copper-gold and lead-zinc-silver mines such as the Horn Silver mine and the Cactus and Imperial copper mines. Mineralisation at Frisco consists of skarn or carbonate replacement deposits containing copper and other base and precious metals at Accrington, plus breccia-hosted copper-gold-silver mineralisation such as at Cactus Mine. Historical exploration has also intersected copper-molybdenum mineralisation within several deeper holes in Upper Cactus Canyon.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 14 December 2022

Frisco was explored historically for copper and gold, including by Alderan, prior to signing an agreement with KEX in November 2019. Under the terms of the farm in agreement, KEX can earn up to a 70% interest in the project through spending US$30 million on exploration in three stages over a total of 10 years. The first stage requires KEX to spend US$6.0 million by November 2023 to earn a 55% interest.

KEX’s exploration target at Frisco is a porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum deposit.

KEX completed nine holes at Frisco with results for holes SAWM0001-0004 released by Alderan on 11 March 2021 and results for holes SAWM0005-0009 released on 11 June 2021.

(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.
Standard procedure of the diamond core drilling and drill core sampling was used. Half of the core was collected by
cutting the drill core using diamond saw. Sample length varies from 0.52 to 3.59m, with average length approximately
2.4m
All samples are logged and supplied to ALS laboratory in Nevada, USA, for preparation and analysis.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representativeness and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
In order to assure good representativity of the samples hole SAWM0010 was initially (from 0 to 91m) drilled using
the PQ size of the drill bits and was finished (from 91m to the end of the hole) using the HQ drill bits. Hole SAWM0011
was drilled with PQ to a depth of 6m before switching to HQ for the remainder of the hole. Sample weights sent to
the laboratory ranged from 2.52-15.17kg.
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.
Standard procedure of using a diamond core drilling was applied. Sample length varies from 0.52 to 3.59m, with
average length being 2.4m. Sample weights sent to the laboratory ranged from 2.52-15.17kg and were collected by
cutting the drill core using a diamond saw. Samples were delivered to the ALS laboratory for preparation and
assaying using conventional techniques.

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.).
Diamond core drilling using a standard drill rig, Boart LF-90. PQ and HQ size drill core were used.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
Drill core recovery was documented using linear measurement method. The average recovery was approximately
95%.
Measures taken to maximize sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
Drilling parameters were adjusted to maximise recovery.
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.
No relationships between recovery and grade.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate
Mineral

estimation,
mining
studies
and
metallurgical studies.
All samples were geologically logged, including rock types, alteration, textures, tectonic features and mineralisation.
Whether
logging
is
qualitative
or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc.) photography.
Logging was quantitative and qualitative. Qualitative logging includes diagnostics of the rocks, minerals, alteration
patterns and tectonic features. Quantitative logging includes the following:

Measurement of the magnetic susceptibility

Diagnostic of the alteration minerals using the VNIR and SWIR (spectrometer) techniques. This was
made in the Laboratory.

Rock assays through ALS laboratory

Measurement of the Alpha angle of the selected planar structures (e.g., veins, faults)
100% of the core was photographed.
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
100% of the drill holes were logged.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken
The core was sawn by diamond saw:

½ core was collected as a sample, the rest left in the core tray for additional studies.
When duplicate sample was collected for QAQC purposes, the half core was sawn in a half and each ¼ of a core
was used as sample and duplicate.

For all sample types, the nature, quality,
and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.
Standard sample preparation technique developed by ALS (Figure A2) and broadly used by the mining companies
in the region was used in the project.
Figure A2:sample preparation protocol used by the ALS laboratory
Quality control procedures adopted for
all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representativeness of samples.
Grinding and pulverising stages were checked by using the control sieving assuring that material meets the criteria
defined by the sample preparation protocol (Figure A2). Crush and pulp duplicates were included by ALS during
analysis. Pulp duplicates included by ALS at a rate of 1 in 7.4 samples. Crush duplicates included by ALS at a rate
of 1 in 81 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.
Field duplicates were systematically collected. This was made by cutting the half into two ¼ core. One was used as
the original sample and second as duplicate.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to
the grain size of the material being
sampled.
Sample lengths varied from 0.52-3.59m but were typically in the range of 1.5-3.0m and averaged 2.4m over the
length of the hole. Sample weights ranged from 2.29-15.17kg and are appropriate for Cu-Au sulphide mineralisation.
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 assayed using ICP-AES (ME-ICP06 method of ALS) and ICM-MS was used for additional low
detection level elements (Figure A3).

alternative company personnel.
Not applicable. The current drilling program include two drill holes that were designed to test the exploration model
suggesting presence of tourmaline-breccia hosted mineralisation outside of the known prospects.
The use of twinned holes. Twin holes were not used, because of an early stage if exploration and lack of the significant intersections

Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification, data
storage
(physical
and
electronic)
protocols.
All drill holes logged electronically. The primary field data were logged directly into the acQuire database and
check/verified by the database administrator together with the project geologists.
The interim field storages were not used, because all primary data were captured directly into the acQuire database
stored on the company’s server, which is regularly backed up.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. No adjustments are made, and it is believed that data does not require any additional adjustments.
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.
Drill hole collars are located using handheld GPS. Reported accuracy of the instrument is approximately +/- 3m in
horizontal dimensions. RL of the collars is deduced by projecting the collars onto the DTM surface.
Down hole survey is made by Reflex tool (Reflex EZ Trac) with the measurements taken approximately at 30m to
60m intervals.
Specification of the grid system used. All data are recorded in a UTM zone 12 (North) NAD83 grid.
Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.
DTM file generated using the LiDAR data was used for in the current drilling programme for estimation the RLs of
the drill hole collars.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
The current report includes 2 out of 2 exploration drill holes drilled into known prospects and assay results. The
results will be sufficient to establish the presence of the Cu-Au mineralisation and determine the geological type and
style of the mineralisation but will be insufficient for establishing the geological and grade continuities.
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.
The reported drill holes in this announcement are insufficient for estimation of the Mineral Resources.
Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
Samples were collected and assayed without physical compositing.
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.
Steeply dipping exploration holes was drilled with an objective to test the space between the two know breccia-pipes.
Presence of the mineralisation in this area was uncertain and therefore the geometry of the potential mineralisation
was not known too. Therefore, the author concludes that the chosen orientation of the drill holes was appropriate for
the given exploration task.
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 drilled mineralisation is lacking a preferential orientation therefore orientation of the drill holes will not introduce
sampling biases.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample
security
Samples were submitted to the lab by the company personnel following the guidelines and procedures of the Rio
Tinto Exploration (Kennecott). Only authorised personnel have attended the samples.

11

Audits or reviews Internal review of the drilling results by the company management is routinely used through the course of the project. The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

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.
Grade of the intersection was estimated using length weighting average technique. Mineralisation contacts are commonly sharp.
High-grade cutting was not used in this study, mainly because assay results are lacking excessively high-grade values.
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 drill hole sample lengths range from 0.52–3.59m and averages 2.4m over the length of the hole. The assayed intervals lack
excessively high metal grades and there is no apparent relationship between the sample length and grade.

The assumptions used for
any
reporting
of

clearly stated.
Not applicable.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
These
relationships
are
particularly important in the
reporting
of
Exploration
Results.
The mineralisation width is not known. The reported information represents the down-hole length of the intersected mineralisation.
If
the
geometry
of
the
mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known,
its nature should be reported.
The mineralisation width is not known. The reported information represents the down-hole length of the intersected mineralisation.
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’).
True width is not known. Downhole length is reported.
Diagrams Appropriate
maps
and
sections (with scales) and
tabulations
of
intercepts
should be included for any
significant discovery being
reported
These

include, but not be limited to
a plan view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate
sectional views.
Maps are presented in the text of this ASX release and in the JORC Table 1.
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
