Exploration Update – Grapple Prospect Drill Intersections

ABM Resources NL (“ABM” or the Company) is pleased to provide all drill results for the Grapple Prospect on the Lake Mackay Joint Venture (“JV”) being managed by Independence Group (“IGO”).

Highlights

  • 18 RC hole program completed at EL24915 as part of the reconnaissance drilling program on the Lake Mackay Project

  • All results are now available from the Grapple Prospect with anomalous mineralisation intersected in 8 out of 11 holes

  • Multiple additional intersections at the Grapple Prospect including 6m at 8.98 g/t gold, 23.5 g/t silver, 1.45% copper, 1.40% zinc, 0.26% lead and 0.15% cobalt

  • Downhole EM interpretation suggests the modelled conductor extends to the west

Background

The Lake Mackay Project is located 400km northwest of Alice Springs, adjacent to the Western Australian border, and includes 7,200 square kilometres of exploration licences (Figure 1). The belt is at a very early stage of exploration. The only reported previous exploration was completed by BHP Billiton targeting nickel sulphide mineralisation in the early 2000s. IGO is executing an exploration program as part of an exploration alliance[1] with ABM to systematically evaluate the Lake Mackay Project. The Project has consolidated the favourable Proterozoic margin between the Aileron and Warumpi Provinces, characterised by a continent-scale geophysical gravity ridge and the Central Australian Suture. The JV partners believe that there is potential to unlock a new metallogenic province hosting multiple styles of mineralisation.

IGO has previously intersected interpreted VMS style mineralisation at Bumblebee. This target was identified through soil geochemistry and ground EM surveys. Subsequent drilling (ASX 27 July 2016) intersected low grade base metal mineralisation, comprising chalcopyrite, sphalerite and galena. Four of the holes returned a total of five intercepts greater than 1% copper. The intersection of these sulphides along with elevated gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc provides support for the prospectivity of the Lake Mackay Project.

Encouraging drilling intersections were reported (ASX 14 November 2016) from the Grapple Prospect based on the first three holes of the RC drilling program.

Current Lake Mackay RC Drilling Program

An 18 hole reverse circulation (RC) drilling program was completed on EL24915 in November 2016. This included 11 holes at the Grapple Prospect, 3 holes at the Springer Prospect and 4 holes at the Prowl Prospect (Figure 2). Additional holes that were planned at Prowl, were not completed due to the requirement to demobilise the rig before a large weather front hit the area.

1IGO is earning 70% interest in ABM’s Lake Mackay tenements by solely funding $6 million of exploration expenditure (ASX 6 May 2016).

Figure 2: Lake Mackay reconnaissance targets on EL24915 with the number of RC holes drilled per prospect in the last program.

Drilling results are now available for all holes completed at the Grapple Prospect. Mineralisation has been confirmed over a strike length of 300m and remains open down dip and along strike to the west and east. Mineralisation is a multiple sulphide assemblage within a metasedimentary package that is in close proximity to low-K tholeiitic amphibolites of the Dufaur suite.

Significant intercepts are summarised in Table 1. Downhole widths are provided. The geometry of the mineralisation is not yet well understood given the preliminary stage of the program however, holes 16GRRC007-16GRRC011 were drilled towards the south and are considered to provide a better representation of the true width. Drill holes 16GRRC001-16GRRC006, were likely drilled oblique to the mineralisation (Figure 4).

* Note: Intervals are downhole. True widths are unknown.

All holes at the Grapple prospect with the exception of 16GRRC005 had downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveying completed. This has identified a conductive plate associated with the mineralisation intersected at the Grapple Prospect. The DHEM interpretation suggests 16GRRC011 drilled above the main conductor and that the centre of this conductive body is further to the west.

The remaining assay results from the Springer and Prowl prospects are expected by the end of December 2016. No massive sulphide mineralisation was identified at either of these prospects. To date IGO is only testing the initial anomalies identified from areas which are effective for soil sampling on 7% of the JV prospective tenure. The success of intersecting mineralisation from the limited

programs completed to date supports the concept generated from continental-scale targeting that the Lake Mackay Project could represent an emerging new metallogenic province.

Appendix 3: JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1- Lake Mackay Drilling 2016

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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 (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.

Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was undertaken in
October-November 2016.

RC Sampling

One metre RC samples were collected with a scoop
and composited to four metres to produce a 3kg
sample.

Individual metre samples were also sampled where
geological logging identified mineralisation.

Samples were dried, pulverised to -75um and split to
produce a nominal 200 gram sub sample.

4 metre composite samples had 10 grams analysed
using aqua-regia digestion with an MS finish for Gold
and 32 additional elements.

1 metre samples were analysed for gold using a 25
gram Lead collection fire assay with analysis by
Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission
Spectrometry (ICP-OES)

Multi-element analysis was completed using a four
acid digest on a 0.2g prepared sample with analysis
of 33 elements with ICP-OES.
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.).

A Schramm 660W RC drilling rig, owned and operated by
Profile Drilling Services was used.

The RC drilling was conducted with a 127mm face
sampling hammer bit.
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 recovery was estimated by the relative size of
the piles of drill spoil that were placed on the ground.

Sample quality was recorded during logging (wet\dry
samples) and qualitative recovery codes (C=contaminated,
G=good, M=moderate, O=oversize, P=poor, U=undersize)
were assigned to the samples.
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.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.)
photography.

The total length and percentage of the relevant
_intersections logged. _

The RC chips were logged on 1 metre intervals using the
IGO coding system. Lithology, weathering, colour,
alteration, veining and mineralisation are logged
(Qualitative). Magnetic susceptibility was measured for
each 4 metre composite sample (Quantitative). A
representative chip sample was collected for each metre.
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.

For RC, One-metre drill samples were laid out on to the
ground in 25m rows, and four-metre composite samples of
approximately 3kg were collected using an aluminium
scoop, into pre-numbered calico bags. The majority of
samples (>99%) were dry.

The same method was used for one-metre samples as well.

Samples were prepared at the Intertek Laboratory in Alice
Springs. Samples were dried, and the whole sample was
crushed and pulverised to 85% passing 75µm, and a sub-
sample of approx. 200g retained.

A duplicate field sample was taken at a rate of 1 in 50.

Field duplicate assay results are reviewed to confirm that
the sample results are representative.

For exploration drilling the sample size is considered
appropriate to give an indication of mineralisation given that
the sample is crushed to -75µm.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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 (e.g.
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been
established.

For 4 metre composites, aqua regia with an MS finish was
used, this has a detection limit of 1ppb Au. This is a partial
digest that is considered appropriate for detecting
anomalous results. Any anomalous samples will be scoop
sampled at 1 metre intervals and analysed using 25g fire
assay for Au and four-acid digest for base metals. The fire
assay is a total digest and the four-acid is considered a
“near total” digest.

No geophysical or XRF results are used in exploration
results reported.

Laboratory QAQC involves the use of internal lab standards
and blanks using certified reference materials. Lab
duplicates are also monitored to ensure the sample results
are representative.

Independence Group also provides reference samples and
blanks that are inserted every 50 samples.
Verification of sampling
and assaying

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

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Significant intersections were identified in the field by Doug
Winzar and were selected for 1 metre sampling.

No twinned holes were completed.

Primary data was collected in Field Marshall files. Data are
imported directly to the database with importers that have
built in validation rules. Assay data are imported directly
from digital assay files and are merged in the database with
sample information. Data are uploaded to a master SQL
database stored in Perth, which is backed up daily. Data is
reviewed and manually validated upon completion of
drilling.

From time to time assays will be repeated if they fail the
company QAQC protocols, however no adjustments are
made to assay data once accepted into the database.
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.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

Hole collars were recorded using Garmin handheld GPS
and averaging for 90 seconds. Expected accuracy is + or –
3m for easting and northing. The azimuth of the drill collars
were measured with a compass using magnetic north and
recorded in the database. A clinometer was used to check
the dip of the hole at the collar.

Downhole surveying was conducted with the Reflex Ez-trac
system. Measurements were collected every 30m during
the drilling of the hole.

The grid system is MGA_GDA94 (zone 52)
Data spacing and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

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.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

This drilling is not used for resource estimation, it was
intended to attempt to identify bedrock sources of multi-
element soil geochemical anomalies associated with gold
mineralised systems and to test a conductor that was
identified from a moving loop electromagnetic survey.

RC samples were composited over 4 metres.
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 drill lines were designed to be perpendicular to the soil
anomalies and the EM conductor.

No sampling bias is considered to have been introduced.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.

The RC drill samples were collected in pre-numbered calico
bags and then placed in poly-weave bags. They were
transported from the field to the sample preparation
laboratory in Alice Springs by XM Logistics and IGO
personnel.

Once the sample preparation is completed in Alice Springs
the samples are transported to Perth for analysis using the
laboratories standard chain of custody procedure.
Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.

No specific audits or reviews have been undertaken at this
stage in the programme.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria JORC Code explanation
Mineral tenement and
land tenure status

Type, reference name/number, location and
ownership including agreements or material issues
with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park
and environmental settings.

The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments to
obtaining a license to operate in the area.

The Lake Mackay Project currently consists of EL24915:

This tenement is in good standing and no known
impediments exist.

ABM and Independence Group NL (“IGO”) entered into a
multi-phase agreement covering the Lake Mackay Project
on 21 August 2013.

In May 2016 IGO triggered phase 2 of the agreement to
earn a 70% interest in the project. This involved
subscribing for $1.5M ABM shares in placement with a 6
month escrow period and spending $6M on exploration
on the project over 4 years.
Exploration done by other
parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.

EL24915 was previously explored by BHP in the South
Tanami JV. BHP flew a Geotem survey in 1999 and did
ground EM and drilling in 2004 targeting Ni sulphides.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The project area is considered highly prospective for
orogenic shear hosted gold deposits based on similarities
that exist between the West Arunta and the Granites-
Tanami Block with respect to gold deposition timing and
structural settings.

The region is also considered having potential for a range
of commodities and mineralising styles. These type of
deposits include:

IOCG

VMS

Ultramafic intrusion related Ni-Cu-PGE
Drill hole Information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding 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.

Included in Table 1, Table A1 and Table A2
Data aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or 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. _

Results reported are based on a 1 g/t Au or 1% Cu grade
cut off. No truncation of high grades was undertaken

The results did not incorporate shorter lengths of high
grade the cut-off of 1g/t Au or 1% Cu was used.

Metal equivalent grades were not reported.
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 (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). _

Downhole widths are provided as this is the first drilling
program at this prospect and mineralisation geometry is
poorly understood at this stage.

Criteria JORC Code explanation
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.

A plan view is provided in Figure 3 and section in Figure
4
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.

Results above 1g/t Au or 1% Cu were reported. The
remainder of the results are considered low grade.
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.

Au ppb in soil contours are provided in Figure 3 of the
report to show the coincidence of the positive drill results
with the soil anomalism.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (eg
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.

Further drilling will be conducted to determine the lateral
extent of the mineralisation.

The MLEM plates displayed on Figure 3 may
approximate the extent of the mineralisation in the near
surface environment. It must be noted that 16PRRC002
did not intersect precious or base metals up-dip of the
MLEM plate so this may be caused by pyrrhotite.
