ASX AND MEDIA RELEASE
4 March 2022
Commenting on today’s announcement, Carawine Managing Director David Boyd said:
“This latest diamond drill hole at Red Bull has determined the source of the targeted conductor to be massive graphite and graphitic sediments. IGO will now update its targeting model for Red Bull with these results, for use in the planning of future exploration programs.”
“In the meantime, exploration on the Fraser Range Joint Venture tenements will continue with AC drilling programs designed to test nickel-copper targets at Bindii and Big Bullocks expected to commence within the next two to three months.”
Takeover Offer from QGold Pty Ltd
The Company refers to its announcement on 22 February 2022 regarding the unsolicited, on-market takeover offer by QGold Pty Ltd (“ QGold ”) to acquire all fully paid ordinary shares on issue in the Company which QGold (and/or QGold’s associates) do not already own or control at 21 cents per share (“ Takeover Offer ”).
The Company notes that the Takeover Offer was unsolicited and is presently scheduled to close at 4:00pm (Sydney time) on 22 April 2022 (unless extended or withdrawn). The Board is evaluating the Takeover Offer and QGold’s Bidder’s Statement, and it will provide shareholders with a recommendation in the form of a Target’s Statement, which is required to be provided to the ASX no later than the close of business on 8 March 2022.
Until then, the Board of Carawine advises shareholders to TAKE NO ACTION in respect of the Takeover Offer or any document received from QGold.
Red Bull
The third diamond drill hole in the Red Bull diamond drilling program, named 21AFDD119, was completed at the “RBC_DHEM” downhole electromagnetic (“DHEM”) conductor target to a total depth of 403.2m. The drill hole targeted a modelled ~7,000S plate with a depth to the top of 150m and a 45° dip towards 310° azimuth, potentially related to an accumulation of conductive Ni-Cu sulphides (Figure 1) (refer ASX announcement 8 November 2021).
Drill hole 21AFDD119 intersected deformed metasediments and orthogneiss typical of the Snowys Dam Formation, with thin intervals of gabbroids and mafic granulite. At approximately 231m depth, the drill hole intersected a thick (~170m downhole width) package of variably deformed graphitic gneiss, with massive graphite in places, which has been determined as the source of the RBC_DHEM anomaly (refer Appendix 1 for details). A DHEM survey planned for 21AFDD119 is expected to confirm this, with a detailed structural review and interpretation to follow, aimed at better understanding the geology of the area. No further drilling is planned for this target at this stage.
Upcoming Fraser Range Joint Venture AC Programs
Two AC drilling programs are expected to commence within the coming months at the Big Bullocks and Bindii tenements (Figure 2).
At Big Bullocks in the northern Fraser Range, 40 AC drill holes are planned for approximately 1,200m. This program is designed to map and sample mafic bodies potentially related to magmatic nickel-coppercobalt mineralisation at the Big Bullock 1 prospect, where previous AC drilling returned anomalous assay values including up to 808ppm Ni, 728ppm Cu, 1110ppm Cr, 1.5% S and 13.5% MgO from 45-46m in drill hole 19AFAC10344 (refer ASX announcement 31 October 2019). The program is scheduled to commence mid-April 2022.
At Bindii in the central Fraser Range, about 10km south of Legend mining’s Mawson nickel-copper discovery, 100 AC drill holes are planned for approximately 4,000m. This program will target ultramafic cumulate rocks, considered prospective for magmatic Ni-Cu-Co mineralisation, identified from previous

ASX AND MEDIA RELEASE
4 March 2022
Carawine has a joint venture with IGO over five tenements at Red Bull, Bindii, Big Bullocks and Aries (the Fraser Range Joint Venture). IGO currently holds a 70% interest in these tenements. Carawine has elected not to contribute towards the FY2022 Joint Venture program and budget of approximately $1.3 million, therefore if IGO completes the entire program as proposed, Carawine’s interest will be diluted from 30% to approximately 24%. The remaining tenements in the Fraser Range Project are held 100% by Carawine.
This announcement was authorised for release by the Company’s Board of Directors.

| 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. |
• Geological observations are reported for 21AFDD119, including the presence of various sulphide species. Further detailed geological and petrophysical logging may vary the observations reported here. • Where reported, mineral species are visually estimated as a proportion of the rock mass. The use of qualifying terms such as and similar to “patchy”, “blebby”, “minor”, “disseminated” etc., indicate visual estimates of total concentration by rock mass of <5%, greater proportions are indicated by a percentage number. Further examination, sampling and assay are required to confirm actual concentrations. |
||||||
| 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). |
• 21AFDD119 was drilled as mud-rotary from surface to 41.8m, then as NQ diameter core to the end of the hole. • All core collected was oriented using REFLEX ACT III-H or N2 Ezy-Mark orientation tools. |

• No sampling has been completed and as such data aggregation methods are not relevant. • There are no assumptions regarding metal equivalent values. |

|---|---|---|
| typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should beclearly stated. |

| 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 (e.g. ‘down hole _length, true width not known’). _ |
• Only down-hole lengths and depths are reported from preliminary geological observations. |
| 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. |
• Refer to the body of the Report. |
| 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 information considered material to the reader’s understanding of the Exploration Results has been reported, including references to alternative interpretations of modelled data where considered appropriate. |
| 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. |
• Refer to the body of the Report |
| 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 notcommercially sensitive. |
• Further work is described in the body of the Report. |
