RC DRILL ASSAY RESULTS FROM
CATTO
----- End of picture text -----

Highlights

  • The drilling at Catto identified narrow sub parallel quartz veins containing anomalous gold.

  • King River’s interpretation suggests the previously reported high grade surface samples are located at the intersection of NW dipping and NS fault structures and our primary target horizon (being the Felsic Granophyre-Valentine Siltstone contact) wasn’t fully tested in this program.

  • King River's exploration model for 2014 will take into account these new geological interpretations from Chapman Flats and Catto.

  • The high assaying Chapman outcrop area and copper stained cliffs at Todhunter south remain the Company’s highest priorities.

COPPER / GOLD PROJECT

King River Copper Limited (“King River” or “the Company”) (ASX: KRC) reports the final drill assay results and interpretation from the Catto area in the northern part of the Speewah Dome.

This is the second set of assay results planned for release from the main areas drilled in 2013, namely Chapman Flats, Catto and Todhunter North (Figure 1). The objective of these drilling programs in 2013 was to test for copper / gold mineralisation in the basement below alluvium and colluvium covered areas where soil anomalies, rubble and nearby surface outcrops, and the geophysical interpretation suggested potential worthwhile targets.

Catto Rock Chip Samples

KRC has previously reported high grade gold, silver and copper in surface rock chip samples at the Catto prospect (see ASX announcements 30[th] October and 4[th] and 6[th] November 2013). This announcement shows the locations of these mineralised outcrops in relation to the drill holes at Catto. There are two main sample areas at Catto where quartz-sulphide-hematite veins and breccia outcrop containing gold, silver, copper, lead, antimony and arsenic. East west fences of drill holes were aligned to test these outcrops sites (Figure 2). A summary of the previously reported high grade surface sample assays at Catto are listed below and shown on Figure 2 along with the drill hole locations.

  • A group of outcrop and float samples in the SW sector, aligned along a north-south trend.

  • Float sample 3000257 – 8.04g/t Au, 238g/t Ag, 0.18% Cu, 2.43% Pb, 0.78% Sb and 0.67% As

  • Outcrop sample 3000421 – 0.04g/t Au, 804g/t Ag, 2.2% Cu, 2.01% Sb and 1.04% As

  • Outcrop sample 3000422 – 0.006g/t Au, 242g/t Ag, 0.81% Cu, 1.11% Sb, 0.21% As

  • Float sample 3000426 – 1.21g/t Au, 716g/t Ag, 1.69% Cu, 10.3% Pb, 2.08% Sb and 1.11% As

  • Two outcrop samples in the NE, 100m east of a previously reported VTEM geophysical anomaly. o Outcrop sample 3000413 - 2.4g/t Au, 64g/t Ag, 1.0% Cu, 2.07% Sb

  • Outcrop sample 3000416 - 2.75g/t Au, 74g/t Ag, 1.24% Cu and 2.3% Sb

Not all vein or breccia surface samples collected in the Catto area are mineralised, nor do they all contain arsenic or lead, suggesting complex controls to high grade gold / silver / copper mineralisation, such as fault intersections, favorable rheology contrasts involving the more brittle granophyre, or the intersection of mineralised faults with the granophyre-siltstone contact. Petrographic studies on surface samples at Chapman to the north (see ASX announcement 4[th] December 2013) showed two types of quartz veins and breccia – quartz veins (commonly with arsenopyrite) and quartz-hematite breccias. At Chapman, it was thought that better grades were found in the quartz-arsenopyrite veins with gold, silver, copper, silver, lead, antimony and arsenic. However, the lack of arsenic in the NE samples at Catto, which also have hematite, suggest the quartz hematite breccia and veins carry significant levels of gold, silver, copper and antimony (refer samples 3000413 and 3000416 above).

Catto Drill Results

Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drilling at Catto was completed on 4 east-west lines, for a total of 770 metres in 25 holes (Figure 2). All but one hole were drilled dipping at 60° to the east. Drill hole KGRRC0016 was drilled to the west with 60° dip. Down hole depths ranged from 10 to 90 metres.

The drill assay results and drill hole parameters from the Catto program are tabulated in Annexure 1.

The drill program was designed to test an arsenic soil anomaly, several surface outcrops and float that reported high grade gold, silver and copper, and a geophysical VTEM anomaly.

The RC drilling at Catto has confirmed the source of the arsenic soil anomaly to be a series of narrow arsenopyrite mineralised quartz veins in the basement gabbro carrying anomalous levels of gold, silver, copper and antimony in some veins. However, the previously reported high grade surface sample results, with a diverse metal suite, were not intersected in this drilling, which suggests more complex controls on the origin of these high grade surface samples than originally thought. The reported intersections of gold, silver or copper are not economic but they have helped identify some potential controls to mineralisation at Catto.

The best intersection at Catto was a single metre sample assay of 1064ppb gold (Au) and 92806ppm arsenic (As) in drill hole KGRRC0001 (Figure 2), situated within a 5 metre thick down hole interval with gold anomalism from 21 to 73ppb Au. There is no significant silver, copper, lead or antimony in this interval (Annexure 1). This hole is located in the NE sector of Catto on the eastern end of the southern line nearest to the prospective granophyre-siltstone contact to the east. Further field work and drilling is required as it may be a vector to mineralisation further to the east.

KRC previously reported (4 November 2013) quartz sulphide (possible arsenopyrite) mineralised intervals in two adjacent RC drill holes at the eastern end of the northernmost line in the NE sector at Catto Figure 2). These holes (KGRRC006 and 22, Figure 2) were drilled east of the outcrop area with the two high grade samples 3000413 and 3000416 previously reported. Hole KGRRC006 drilled to the east of the outcrop intersected a 27m thick interval (from 3m to 30m down hole depth) that was quartz veined (with sulphides, possible arsenopyrite), fractured and altered. Hole KGRRC022 drilled 25m further to the east intersected 17m (from 3m to 20m down hole depth) of similar quartz veining and alteration. Assay results now received have reported a weakly gold anomalous (328ppb Au) 2 metre interval from 9 to 11m down hole depth in hole KGRRC006 with no significant silver, copper, lead, antimony or arsenic (Annexure 1). Drill hole KGRRC022 intersected only a weakly gold anomalous (879ppb Au) interval from 11 to 18 metres down hole. Hole KGRRC007 located to the west of the high grade outcrop returned no anomalous gold, silver or copper. These results suggest the mineralisation is thickening to the west below the high grade surface outcrop which may be located on a sub vertical structure missed in the drilling (see Figure 3).

==> picture [595 x 87] intentionally omitted <==

The high grade surface samples, with a more diverse metal suite including copper and antimony, have not been fully explained by these drill results and further mapping and drilling is required.

Figure 3 illustrates the section with drill holes KGRRC007, 6 and 22 and a possible explanation for the high grade surface outcrop located at the intersection of the weakly anomalous sub horizontal structure and an inferred sub vertical structure not intersected in the drilling.

==> picture [521 x 220] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3: EW cross section along the northern line showing a sub horizontal weakly mineralised structure extending east from the very high grade surface outcrop at the intersection of an inferred vertical structure.

Two RC drill lines were completed in the SW sector at Catto targeting previously reported high grade gold, silver, copper, lead, antimony and arsenic in outcrop and float occurrences (surface samples 3000257, 3000421, 3000422 and 3000426, Figure 2) oriented along a NS trend.

On the northern line, RC holes KGRRC017 and 16 were drilled on either side and just to the south of a quartz vein outcrop (with malachite, azurite and yellow green oxides - surface sample 3000421), with a mineralised (footwall?) to the south of fractured magnetite gabbro with quartz veins (with malachite and azurite - surface sample 3000422). Field observations suggest the outcrops dip to NW. KGRRC017 and 16 were drilled to the east and west to scissor the mineralisation at depth (Figure 4). Drill assay results (Annexure 1) show that both holes missed the high grade surface mineralisation. Hole KGRRC016 has weak silver and arsenic values from 9 to 12 metres down hole in quartz veined oxidised (partly weathered) gabbro, and anomalous gold (185ppb Au) from 47-48 metres down hole finer grained gabbro with quartz veins carrying sulphide. At 14 to 15 metres down hole there is a quartz-adularia vein that does not carry any gold, silver or copper.

==> picture [595 x 87] intentionally omitted <==

Several interpretations are possible to explain the surface and drill results along this drill line. The preferred interpretation is illustrated in Figure 4, which shows the quartz-adularia vein oriented along a sub vertical fault directly below the high grade outcrop and offsetting the weakly mineralised sub horizontal structures. The intersection of the inferred sub vertical quartz-adularia vein and the nearsurface sub horizontal weakly anomalous quartz vein may explain the high grade surface result.

==> picture [514 x 234] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 4: EW cross section along the northern line in the SW sector drilling at Catto showing no intersections below the high grade surface samples located between the two scissor holes.

On the southern line, RC holes KGRRC015 and 14 were drilled on either side and just to the south of an outcrop of a quartz vein with malachite (surface sample 3000427) and a nearby outcrop of an epithermal quartz hematite breccia (surface sample 3000427 with no metal anomalism). Drill assay results reported no gold, silver, copper in either of the two holes. If this structure was dipping to the NW, then holes KGRRC015 and 14 would have missed this structure as they were quite shallow (10 and 14m).

No drilling tested the surface float sample (3000257) with 8g/t Au located mid-way between the two drill lines.

Interpretation of Catto Surface Samples and Drill Results

RC drilling and surface sampling at Chapman Flats and Chapman has shown the importance of flat NW dipping quartz-arsenopyrite veins with the best trap site for gold, silver and copper mineralisation where these veins intersect the granophyre-siltstone contact along the roof of the Speewah Dome. Drilling and surface sampling at Catto has shown there are additional controls to the high grade gold, silver and copper mineralisation at Speewah.

==> picture [595 x 87] intentionally omitted <==

An overview of the northern part of the Speewah Dome shows that both the Chapman and Catto prospects are localised along a series of SW-NE trending fault zones, referred to as the Chapman Fault Zone and Catto Fault Zone on Figure 5.

==> picture [500 x 536] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5: Landsat image highlighting extent of the SW-NE trending Catto Fault zone, Catto drilling (coloured dots), and the location of Catto surface sampling (yellow stars).

==> picture [595 x 87] intentionally omitted <==

All the main high grade gold / silver / copper occurrences (Chapman, Catto, Greys, Hayden, Gap, Eiffler and Eiffler North) align along these structural corridors. The fault zones consist of a series of sub-parallel flat dipping (sub horizontal) fractures with quartz-sulphide veins and breccia carrying anomalous gold-silver-copper mineralisation, occasionally with lead and antimony, and nearly always arsenic. However, not all the vein and breccia structures are mineralised and high grade with a diverse metal suite (gold, silver, copper, lead, antimony and arsenic) is thought to have other controls.

Surface sampling and mapping have identified some outcrops with NS strike (such as Pet82, a quartzarsenopyrite vein with gold, at Chapman Flats, Figure 2, KRC ASX announcement 4[th] December 2013). At Greys, south of Catto, there is also a NS trend to the high grade outcrop. Elsewhere in the Speewah Dome there are numerous outcrops of north-south sub vertical epithermal quartz-adularia veins (from less than 1 metre to 10 metres thick in outcrop). Analysis of the Landsat TM image shows a series of NS trends, steps and offsets, with some of the best high grade surface sample sites located on these trends and at the intersection of the sub horizontal and NW dipping structural zones (Figure 5). This model would create a series of pencil shaped shoots plunging to the north along the intersection lineation.

The mapping and drilling results at Chapman and Catto have extended the various settings to include the importance of sub vertical quartz veined structures which provides additional gold-silver-copper targets for future drilling illustrated in the conceptual model below.

Todhunter Prospect

Todhunter North is the third priority prospect drilled at Speewah in 2013. RC drilling of 15 holes on 2 lines (for 369 metres) tested the northern end of the large Todhunter structures under cover supported by soil Niton anomalies and a newly discovered outcrop with quartz veins with visible malachite staining. These holes are located north of the main copper and gold discovery (where previously reported quartz breccia gave a maximum of 3% Cu and 7g/t gold in separate samples) and the copper (malachite) stained cliff in the south previously reported. No drilling was undertaken in 2013 on these central and southern occurrences.

The Todhunter North drill assay results and interpretation will be the subject of another ASX release in the coming weeks.

DIRECTOR’S COMMENTS

The Directors note that first pass Catto drilling did not intersect the source mineralisation that would have explained the very high grade assays and attractive metal suite obtained from surface sampling.

It appears that the geological controls over the copper-gold-silver mineralisation are slightly more complex than originally thought. Even though there is clear evidence of mineralisation within the area drilled, the most prospective primary target horizon (the Felsic Granophyre-Valentine Siltstone contact) was not intersected. As a result, the exploration model for 2014 in the Catto area is being refined and drilling is planned to take place further to the east to identify that contact.

The Company’s priority has shifted to expedite the recommencement of drilling as soon as practicable and is investigating light and easily transportable diamond drilling rig options which would enable an earlier start to drilling.

The Director’s confirm that the recent discoveries of the high assaying Chapman outcrop area and the copper stained cliffs at Todhunter South remain the Company’s highest priority targets.

‘Speewah MetalsLimited’.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. Exploration at Catto targeted hydrothermal gold-copper
mineralisation on the outskirts of the Speewah Dome where
the target horizon (felsic granophyre-siltstone contact)
interacts with structural complexities. The drilling was at an
area of recent surface sampling which returned high grade
gold and copper mineralization (and is located 700m north of
the Greys prospect where historical surface sampling returned
high grade gold and copper mineralization), and also covered
an area of soil/auger/rock chip arsenic anomalism in partially
covered terrain and crossed NE and NS structural trends
identified from field reconnaissance andgeophysics.
Drill hole A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration See Annexure 1.
Information 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. _
