MT RAWDON WEST PROJECT
ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
ASX | KLI
5 August 2024
Gold-copper drill targets confirmed at Kaa Mt Rawdon West Project, Queensland
-
Results of the pole-dipole Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical survey show a strong spatial association with gold-copper mineralisation at Kaa .
-
New discrete chargeable targets identified from surface and align with known high-grade surface copper-gold mineralisation of 238g/t Au and 5.4% Cu .
-
IP survey identifies large blind sulphide target beneath historical Wonbah Copper Mines, stretching 1,000m x 400m.
-
Maiden drill program to test these targets commencing this month.
Killi Resources Limited (‘ Killi ’ or the ‘ Company ’) (ASX: KLI) is pleased to announce the results of the ground geophysical survey (IP) at the 100% owned Mt Rawdon West Project.
Significant chargeability anomalies have been identified from the pole-dipole IP survey where five lines were completed at the Kaa Prospect.
IP line 3600N was completed sub-parallel to the 1.8km long high-grade copper-gold trend recently determined at surface, with assays returning up to 238g/t Au , 5.4% Cu , and 907g/t Ag (ASX Release 9 July 2024). Multiple IP anomalies were determined along this section and coincide with known surface copper-gold mineralisation from old workings of the historical Wonbah Copper Mines and rock chip assays, Figure 1. IP line 4000N was completed parallel to the 1.8km trend, 400m to the north-east which has limited outcrop. The results of the line identified a 1,000m x 400m chargeable anomaly which extends from just beneath the surface to 300m depth and remains open, Figure 2. The anomaly has not been recognised previously as it is located beneath alluvial cover, along strike from the gold in soil anomaly recently reported (ASX Release 24 July 2024).
Geophysical results are interpreted by geophysical consultants to be consistent with a sulphide source, potentially representing copper-gold mineralisation, and represent high priority targets for drill testing in the upcoming maiden drill campaign.

Chief Executive Officer, Kathryn Cutler said: “We are excited by these results from the IP Survey, as the technique clearly works to identify sulphide units beneath the surface. With no existing drilling at this target, its vital we obtain all information available to us in order to ensure our maiden drill campaign is successful.
At surface we have been seeing visible copper mineralisation in the form of azurite, malachite and chalcopyrite. Mapping saw us understand the region has seen significant structural deformation, and the gossans and veins at surface returned high-grade assays, of 238g/t Au and 5.2% Cu, which is not a common occurrence in outcrop. You normally have to drill a hole to hit a high-grade result like this.
These geophysical results in combination with our geochemical dataset and surface mapping provide exceptional targets for the Company to drill test, and we could not be more excited to get out there and complete the drill campaign in light of these results.”
Kaa gold-copper targets
The ground (IP) survey at Kaa covered an area of 2.52km[2] , with sensitivity down to a maximum of 250-300m depth. Five lines were completed in total with two lines transmitting and receiving, providing the most reliable and representative data over the survey area, Line 3600N & Line 4000N. Grid lines were 200m apart with dipole spacing every 100m, in 3D configuration.
Results of the geophysical survey, indicate there is a strong spatial association between the chargeability anomalies, historical workings and gold and copper mineralised rock chips samples, Figure 1.
Several discrete chargeability anomalies are evident in Line 3600N which was completed subparallel to the trend of historical workings and recently returned high grade rock chip samples containing assays up to 238g/t Au , 5.4% Cu , and 907g/t Ag (ASX Release 9 July 2024).
Line 4000N shows a very strong chargeability anomaly over ~1,000m of strike, which is open to the northwest and at depth, Figure 2. There is limited outcrop along this line, but there is a strong spatial association with the recent soil results which extended the gold soil anomaly to the northeast (ASX Release 24 July 2024). Consultant geophysicists, Terra Resources, interpret the strong chargeability response as being indicative of a sulphide source and hence may represent a previously unrecognised gold-copper mineralised system beneath cover.

The chargeable features identified on Line 3600N and 4000N are also present on Line 3800N. Responses from the IP survey with values >15msec are interpreted to be consistent with a sulphide source.

KILLI Resources Limited | ASX Announcement | www.killi.com.au | ASX:KLI
The main Kaa anomaly extends from surface to depth to the north and remains open, providing a high priority drill target for the Company to test close to surface.
Likewise, the chargeable units beneath the rock chip assay of 238g/t Au, 2.1% Cu & 513g/t Ag , present clear drill targets for Killi to test in the upcoming diamond drill program, planned to commence in August.

Geological understanding of Kaa target
Killi has identified a 1,700m x 500m gold-copper-molybdenum anomaly in soils at the Kaa target. In addition, the first pass rock chip program at the old workings in the north-west of the soil anomaly returned 12.4g/t Au and 4.5% Cu.
Field work completed in June 2024 identified a high-grade gold and copper structure in-situ- at surface which extends from the historical ‘Wonbah Copper Mines’ along the soil anomaly to the south-east along a ridge. Rock chips were taken from of veins and gossans in outcrop along the ridge, which returned on average 5-6g/t Au, 1- 2% Cu, and 100g/t Ag, Figure 4.
One specific gossanous outcrop striking east-southeast and dipping shallowly to the south-west was sampled and returned an outstanding result of 238g/t Au, 2.1% Cu, 513g/t Ag, 2.2% Pb, 0.3% Zn (MRRK074). The outcrop is interpreted as the main Kaa gold-copper trend exposed at surface. Across the majority of the 1.8km trend, rock chips returned 12-14g/t Au from this feature, however at the location of MRRK074, the veining and alteration is more intense with the exposed gossan 40cm in width and 2m along strike. This trend remains open along strike to the northwest and southeast.

KILLI Resources Limited | ASX Announcement | www.killi.com.au | ASX:KLI
Results of the IP Survey indicate the potential for a large chargeable sulphide bearing unit located beneath the historical copper workings of the ‘Wonbah Copper Mines’ with additional targets to the north-east undercover, on lines 3800N and 4000N, which appears to continue plunging to north-north-west.
The results of the survey provide technical confidence in the gold-copper porphyry-epithermal model.

Next Steps
A diamond drill campaign of 1,000m will commence in the coming weeks to drill test the targets identified from the IP survey, and beneath the high-grade copper and gold surface results. Targets are shallow, with diamond drilling planned from surface to ensure all possible information is acquired.
The Company completed a capital raising in July, corner stoned by Gold Fields, in order to complete the exploration drilling on this project. With a current cash position ~$1.9M (June 2024 Quarterly, Release 30 July 2024) the Company is well placed to complete the drill campaign in the next few months.

About Killi Resources Limited
The Company is focussed on exploring for a new major mineral discovery at its projects in Western Australia and Queensland, Figure 4. The projects are belt-scale land holdings, located in well-endowed mineral provinces, that are significantly underexplored and amenable to a new large-scale discovery.
The Company has recently entered into a Earn-In Joint Venture with Gold Fields at its West Tanami Project in the Tanami, where Gold Fields can earn up to 85% of the Gold Project.
The Company also retains copper rights to the Balfour Project in the Pilbara of Western Australia, where the project was originally pegged for its copper prospectively. In early 2024 the Company completed the same of the project to Black Canyon (ASX: BCA), where Killi received $500,000 worth of Black Canyon shares for the deal.
