NEW HIGH GRADE SILVER ROCK CHIP RESULT ALSO RETURNED 7.6% ANTIMONY AT CATTO WEST
RC DRILL TESTING SEVERAL SITES WITHIN THE SPEEWAH DOME, INLUDING THE 21G/T ROCK CHIP SITE AT COPPER CLIFF
Antimony Result
As reported on 2[nd] November 2015, initial reconnaissance sampling of epithermal veins at Catto West (Figure 1) returned 2060g/t silver, with 3.82% copper and now the antimony assay has been confirmed at 7.64% up from +5%. This site will be drilled next week.
Drilling Programme Underway
Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drilling is progressing to schedule, with reconnaissance holes completed on the Central Fault Zone (including Central North, New Vein, Horseshoe and Splay Zone to the south), and also at Copper Cliff (Figure 1, Table 1). Drilling is underway at the 21g/t Au site (with one hole completed) and further holes are planned back at the Central Zone, then Catto West and finally Chapman West this year.
All assays are pending.
Visual observations by the field geologists of the epithermal vein systems demonstrate excellent looking vein and breccia structures and textures, some good downhole lengths intersecting the quartz veins, and commonly seeing trace sulphides, including chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite, galena and pyrite within those zones.
Drilling and surface sampling are identifying numerous parallel north-south, north-west and some eastwest quartz vein systems not previously mapped or prospected before. There is now the likelihood of 50 to 100 km of prospective exposed and sub-cropping epithermal quartz vein systems of which only a very small percentage has been tested by reconnaissance sampling or assaying.
The drilling program of 2400 metres is on budget and planned to be completed by the last week of November.
In the opinion of Directors and technical team, the new epithermal gold-silver model is now confirmed and the prospectivity of the Speewah Dome has therefore been increased markedly.

Appendix 1: King River Copper Limited Speewah Project JORC 2012 Table 1
The following section is provided to ensure compliance with the JORC (2012) requirements for the reporting of exploration results:
- SECTION 1 : SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA SPEEWAH RC DRILL PROGRAMME
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling Techniques |
o Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specificspecialised 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. o Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and theappropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. o Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the PublicReport. o In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relativelysimple (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. |
oSamples taken from Reverse Circulation Drill Rig with sample cyclone. Samples are around 2-3kg and either splits from 1m RC drill intervals or composites at 2-4m dependent on geology and hole depth. Sampling was supervised by experienced geologists and duplicate samples were inserted at regular intervals (~every 25th sample), and laboratory QAQC (see Quality of assay data and laboratory tests). oSupervision of sampling by experienced geologist, duplicate samples inserted at regular intervals (~every 25th sample), and laboratory QAQC (see Quality of assay data and laboratory tests). |
| Drilling techniques |
o 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.). |
oDrill type was Reverse Circulation. Holes were drilled with a standard face sampling 5.5” RC hammer. |
| Drill sample recovery |
o Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and resultsassessed. o Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative natureof the samples. o Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whethersample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
oSample quality was recorded in comments on Log sheets and sample sheets. Sample recovery was of a high standard and little additional measures were required. |
| Logging | o Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically loggedto a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. o Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel,etc.) photography. o The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
oAll holes ‘chip trayed’ to 1 or 2m (based on geology) and geologically logged to 1m detail (geology, structure, alteration, veining, and mineralisation). oNo photography of RC chips.. |

oRC sample assay results are pending and will be assayed by ALS Laboratory for multi-elements using either a four acid digest followed by multi element analysis with ICP-AES (Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy) or ICP-MS (Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) analysis dependent on element being assayed for and grade ranges). Au, Pt and Pd processed by fire assay and analysis with ICP-AES. oLaboratory QAQC procedures summary: oFollowing drying of samples at 85°C in a fan forced gas oven, material<3kg was pulverised to 85% passing 75µm in a LM-5 with samples >3kg passing through a 50:50 riffle split prior to pulverisation. Fire assay was undertaken on a 30g charge using lead flux Ag collector fire assay with aqua regia digestion and ICP-AES finish. Multiple element methodology was completed on a 0.25g using a combination of four acids including hydrofluoric acid for near total digestion. Determination was undertaken with a combination of ICP-AES and ICP-MS instrumentation. QC lots vary by method, but for fire assay a run of 78 client samples includes a minimum of one method blank, two certified reference materials (CRMs) and three duplicates. For the multi-element method, a QC lot consists of up to 35 client samples with a minimum of one method blank, two CRMs and two duplicates. The analytical facility is certified to a minimum of ISO 9001:2008. oCheck assay will be completed on any sample >10,000ppm Sb by XRF method ME-XRF15c in ALS Brisbane laboratory. |

- SECTION 2 : REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS SPEEWAH RC DRILL PROGRAMME
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
o Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements ormaterial issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. o The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any knownimpediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
oThe Speewah prospects reported in this announcement are entirely within E80/2863, E80/3657 andE80/4468, 100% owned by Speewah Mining Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of King River Copper Limited), located over the Speewah Dome, 100km SW of Kununurra in the NE Kimberley. The tenements are in good standing and no known impediments exist. No Native Title Claim covers the areas surveyed and planned drilling. The northern part of Chapman is in the Kimberley Heritage Area. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
o Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
oPrior work carried out by Planet Management Group in the late 1960’s included soil sampling and mapping and some limited percussion drilling targeting copper mineralisation. Prior work carried out by Elmina NL included rock chip sampling and RC and DC drilling to delineate the ABC fluorite deposit in 1988-1993. |
| Geology | o Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
oExploration is targeting low to intermediate sulphidation epithermal gold- silver-copper mineralisation within the Speewah Dome with high grade targets in structural and litho-structural traps. |
| Drill hole Information |
o A summary of all information material to the understanding of the explorationresults including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: o easting and northing of the drill hole collaro elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drillhole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length and interception deptho hole length.o If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information isnot Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
oSee Table 1, and Figure 1. |
| Data aggregation methods |
o In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximumand/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. o Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results andlonger 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. o The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should beclearly stated. |
oNo assay results reported. |
==> picture [602 x 87] intentionally omitted <==
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
o These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of ExplorationResults. o If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known,its nature should be reported. o If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be aclear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
oNo assay results reported. |
|---|---|---|
| Diagrams | o Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts shouldbe 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. |
oSee Figure 1. |
| Balanced reporting |
o 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. |
oNo assay results reported. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
o 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. |
oKRC (previously called NiPlats Australia Ltd, then Speewah Metals Limited) has completed reconnaissance and stratigraphic RC and DC drilling, soil and rock chip sampling, A VTEM survey, and acquisition of 100m line spacing magnetic and radiometric data over the Speewah Dome including the Central, Windsor and Chapman-Greys-Catto areas. Anomalous surface copper and gold and drill intercepts have been previously reported. |
| Further work | o The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions ordepth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). o Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the maingeological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
oAn extensive review of the epithermal systems at Speewah is currently underway. Further RC drilling is planned to target opportunities identified by this review. Further reconnaissance exploration is planned to identify new target areas on known structures and also to discover new epithermal veins. |
