  • Numerous outcropping low-sulphide gold style veins systems were identified and sampled at the Sabre, Falchion and Troutbeck prospects

  • New mineralised trend identified over 1km south-west of Sabre with rock chips retuning up to 4.1 g/t Au

  • Mapping and sampling have confirmed the potential for widespread copper, gold and silver mineralisation across the ~70km of strike Lander Shear Zone covered by the tenement package

  • The iTech team is currently defining drill targets for both the copergold and gold only systems

“iTech Minerals fast tracked gold assays from the Reynolds Range Project to get an early indication of the gold potential of the prospects visited in the recent rock chip sampling program. The results show great potential for both high grade low-sulphide gold style veins systems at the Sabre and Falchion Prospects with outstanding rock chips up to 182 g/t gold and gold associated with copper mineralisation at both the Scimitar and Reward Prospects. The Company eagerly awaits the remaining copper, silver and base metal assays in the coming weeks.”

Reynolds Range Project Background

The Reynolds Range project consists of three Exploration Licenses, currently being acquired by iTech Minerals Ltd, of which Prodigy Gold NL (ASX: PRX) holds 100% of two licences and 80% of another - 20% of the third license is owned by Select Resources Pty Ltd (Select) (Figure 1). The project covers a total of 375 km[2] of the Aileron Province, part of the Paleoproterozoic North Australian Craton. The Project is located 90-230km NNW of Alice Springs with access from the Stuart Highway and then the un-sealed Mt Denison road.

Reconnaissance Sampling

The reconnaissance sampling field trip was primarily undertaken to check the validity of existing gold and copper-gold prospects identified by previous explorers. To get a short-term understanding of the gold potential of the prospects, the gold analyses, undertaken by the fire assay method, were fast tracked to get early results ahead of the copper-silver and base metals. These preliminary results confirm that there is significant potential for gold mineralisation within the Reynolds Range tenements, both in gold only low-sulphide vein style systems such as Sabre and Falchion, but also with polymetallic styles of mineralisation, such as at Scimitar and Reward, which have appreciable amounts of copper and silver associated with gold.

Of the 16 samples taken from the low-sulphide gold vein systems, 4 met or exceeded 1.0 g/t Au with an outstanding assay of 182 g/t Au at Sabre. Of the 11 samples taken for gold with copper, silver and other base metals, 4 met or exceeded 1.0 g/t Au with an assay of 3.4 g/t Au associated with copper mineralisation at Scimitar. Considering the reconnaissance nature of sampling, iTech is pleased with the strike rate of significant gold results.

Sabre Gold Prospect

Four rock chip samples were taken at Sabre and another two approximately 1.1km to the south-west where additional gossanous quartz veins were found to be outcropping. Significant results include

  • RR24-040 – 182.0 g/t Au

  • RR24-044 – 4.1 g/t Au (1.1km southwest of Sabre)

  • RR24-042 – 1.0 g/t Au

  • RR24-043 – 0.8 g/t Au

The Sabre Prospect (Figure 1) is part of the >42km long Stafford Gold Trend and contains shallow gold workings associated with the Lander Shear Zone. Gold mineralisation is associated with subvertical quartz veins and stringers with fine disseminated sulphides (pyrite, pyrrhotite +/- arsenopyrite) in zones of sericite alteration over a strike of at least 500m.

Falchion Gold Prospect

Six rock chip samples were taken from the Falchion Prospect targeting mineralised quartz veins.

Five samples were taken of gossanous quartz veins which contain anomalous lower levels of gold. One sample was taken of highly brecciated quartz rich schist. This sample contained significant gold mineralisation.

  • RR24-032 – 8.7 g/t Au

At Falchion, (Figure 1) mineralisation appears in outcrop as ~2 m thick sericite-altered sheared turbidite with boudinaged and folded quartz veins trending E-W in a distal chlorite alteration zone. Mineralisation at Falchion appears to be constrained to a SE-NW corridor of sporadic anomalism over 350 m of strike.

==> picture [225 x 200] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 4. Sample RR24-032 which assayed 8.7 g/t Au at the Falchion Gold Prospect.

Scimitar Copper-Gold Prospect

Eight rock chip samples were taken from a zone of north-south trending outcropping copper mineralisation over 2.1km, which occurs to the east of the main Scimitar soil and electromagnetic anomaly. The primary target at Scimitar wasn’t gold but samples show that gold is a significant part of the polymetallic mineralising system along with copper and silver.

Significant results include.

RR24-010 – 3.3 g/t Au RR24-009 – 1.0 g/t Au

The Scimitar Cu-Au prospect (Figure 2) is a 1.5km long north-south trending high-grade Cu-Au soil and rock chip anomaly. Au-Cu anomalism is associated with sheeted quartz veining and alteration halos including As-Pb-Zn. The prospect is associated with a package of folded turbiditic sediments (Lander Group), surrounded by granitic units to the west and east. Local alteration around the Scimitar prospect includes chlorite, kaolinite, silica, sericite and pervasive iron staining. Malachite, pyrite, arsenopyrite and vein-hosted chalcopyrite closely associated with Au-Cu anomalism.

Reward Copper-Gold-Silver Prospect

Three rock chip samples were taken from the old workings to determine the copper, gold and silver content of variations on the style of mineralisation mined. All three samples came back with significant gold mineralisation associated with copper (malachite) mineralisation readily identifiable in hand specimen.

  • RR24-014 – 0.6 g/t Au

  • RR24-015 – 1.0 g/t Au

  • RR24-016 – 1.0 g/t Au

The Reward Prospect (Figure 6) is considered prospective for copper, gold and silver mineralisation and hosts some shallow copper oxide workings from the 1950’s era with abundant malachite, azurite and chalcocite. It occurs associated within a brecciated shear zone and sulphidic sediments. This style of polymetallic mineralisation has similarities to the nearby Jervois Deposit, 350km to the east, which has a current JORC Resource of 23.80 Million tonnes at 2.02% copper, 0.25g/t gold and 25.3g/t silver (Jervois Base Metal Project — KGL RESOURCES).

Future Work

The fast-tracked, fire assay, gold results at the Reynolds Range Project provides iTech Minerals with significant encouragement to advance exploration for copper and gold at the project. In particular, the 182 g/t Au rock chip at Sabre shows the potential for very high-grade gold in the low-sulphide quartz vein style of mineralisation. This style of mineralisation appears to be widespread with significant results at Sabre, Sabre Southwest and Falchion, covering an area of 1.8km x 1.1km. The confirmation of gold mineralisation with copper at Scimitar and Reward adds significant value to these polymetallic systems. iTech is currently generating drill targets at Scimitar Project which has a significant untested EM anomaly believed to be associated with the nearby outcropping mineralisation.

The remaining copper-silver-base metal and lithium assay results are expected in the coming weeks and will help the Company prioritise the copper-gold and gold targets for drill testing.

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

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
The nature of gold and base metal mineralisation could be variable
and include high grade, high nugget quartz veins, massive sulphide
and disseminated sulphide typical of other deposits in the area. The
orientation of mineralisation is not yet confirmed. Mineralisation
shows a correlation to sulphide and veining, in particular pyrrhotite,
pyrite, galena, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite and quartz sulphide
veining.
Whole rock and rock chips samples were collected and submitted
according to standard practices. A minimum of 50g of sample is
collected in a calico bag, described, location reported and submitted
for analysis. Typical sample weights are 0.5kg-1kg. Larger samples
will tend to be more representative however the geologist applies a
bias in selecting samples to predominantly collect material that will
inform on the local presence of elements of interest.
Samples were submitted to Bureau Veritas Adelaide for crushing
and pulverising. For multielement and lithium samples, an aliquot of
sample is dissolved using a mixed acid digest, MA100 then assayed

drilling by Prodigy Gold at Sabre intersected 35m @ 2.02g/t Au
including 17m @ 3.93g/t Au3. Further reconnaissance work at
Stafford Gold Zone also revealed high grade copper and silver
rock chip samples from the Reward Deposit (~9km SE of Sabre)
with 20.3% Cu and 271g/t Ag near a down-dip EM conductor
identified by an airborne electromagnetic survey in 2012. A rock
sample grading 1.79g/t Au was also returned from the Pine Hill
Prospect (~3.5km SE of Reward). At the Scimitar Target 305 post
and vacuum holes have been drilled previously on a 500x50m
grid. The maximum depth drilled is 15m and average depth is 5m.
1991-1992 Poseidon Gold obtained 2 rock chip samples from the
Lander Cu prospect. These were from a pelitic unit and a
quartz/chlorite breccia with malachite (Price, 1992).
1992-1993 regional lag sampling at 250m intervals by Poseidon
Gold defined an area 3km x 2km with anomalous base metals
(>80ppm As, >100ppm Pb) and a number of isolated elevated
gold values over the Scimitar prospect. 2 rock chip samples and
44 LAG samples were obtained over Scimitar from a 21 rock chip
and 1,211 LAG sample program. Maximum values were over
Scimitar were 830ppm Zn, 350ppm Pb, and 75ppm Cu. (Price &
Price, 1993).
1993-1994 Normandy Exploration and Normandy Poseidon group
completed 61 3.6m vertical RAB holes over Scimitar targeting Sb
and Au anomalies from a larger 195 hole program totalling 705m.
Hole ID’s were RRAB110-RRAB304. Maximum assays returned
were 420ppm Cu, 250ppm Zn and 90ppm Pb. Rocks identified
included mudstone and siltstone (some carbonaceous) and
immature sandstones and greywackes, basalt-dolerite, and
common chlorite alteration and moderate quartz veining. (Price,
1994).
1994-1995 Poseidon Gold drilled 100 POST RAB holes averaging
3.6m at 50m to 100m spacing into Scimitar from a larger 397-hole
program totalling 1,772m (RRAB532-RRAB928). 1994-1995 report
(A.T. Price, 1995).
1995-1996 Poseidon Gold drilled 175 VAC holes (RAV0001-
RAV0175) over the Scimitar prospect from a larger program of
602 holes for 2,976m. The Scimitar VAC holes were drilled at 50m
x 500m spacing and intercepted sericite altered sediments and
gossanous brecciated quartz veins. The drilling confirmed a strong
As, Pb and Zn anomaly with a weaker 1-16ppb Au anomaly. A
further 37 VAC holes (RCV0565-RCV0605) were drilled to the
southwest of Scimitar (Price, 1996).
1996-1997 Normandy Gold took 49 composite lag samples
(sample 339551-339599) of -6 to +1 fraction over Scimitar at
100m x 500m spacing over 3 traverses. (Warren & Worland,
1997).
1998-1999 Exodus Minerals collected 5 rock chips and 5 soils
samples at Scimitar. Samples 5761RR, 5762RR and 5763RR
returned anomalous Au (62ppb, 38ppb, and 17ppb); As
(24,000ppm, 4,000ppm, and 4,700ppm); Pb (360ppm, 580ppm,
and 90ppm); and Sb (180ppm, 96ppm, and 102ppm).
(Greenaway, 1998 & Greenaway, 1999). Note that a further 11
rock chips have been attributed to Cowden, 2001; but do not
actually appear in the Cowden, 2001 report. Sample 336053
returned 37ppm Bi, 580ppm Cu, 19ppm Mo and 260ppm Pb.
2012 – 2013 Prodigy Gold flew a Tempest airborne EM survey
over the Reynolds Range area in June and July 2012. This
identified a prominent 2km x 1km conductor at Scimitar. A
diamond hole was completed in Q4 2020. A DHEM survey has
been recentlycompleted.

On a regional scale the area comprises polydeformed
Paleoproterozoic Lander Group metasediments intruded by
numerous felsic and mafic intrusive phases and overlain by
slightly younger siliciclastic metasediments, including the
Reynolds Range Group. The area is covered by complex regolith,
with scree shedding from substantial hills cut by large drainage
systems. The Company is exploring for sulphide related gold and
associated base metal mineralisation. This could be shear related
gold, VMS or IOCG deposits. These styles of deposits are known
in theprovince.
