SYNDICATED IDENTIFIES SIGNIFICANT NEW GOLD TARGETS AT MONUMENT GOLD PROJECT, WA

Major new aircore drilling programs set to commence in mid‐October to test extensive surface gold‐in‐soil anomalism adjacent to a large felsic intrusion

Highlights

  • An extensive exploration review of Syndicated Metals’ 100%‐owned Monument Gold Project in WA, supported by new results from recent soil sampling programs, has resulted in the identification of a significant new gold target adjacent to a large felsic intrusion.

  • Analysis of the target area by Southern Geoscience Consultants and Geochemical Services Consultants has confirmed the presence of an elongate felsic intrusion at Korong East, located 1km to the east of the Korong‐Old Copper mineralised trend.

  • The felsic intrusion, which measures 3km by 1.5km in size, is defined by a low magnetic response coincident with a gravity low and bears many similarities to the Cameron Well and Jupiter prospects at the neighbouring 3.3Moz Mt Morgans Gold Project (Dacian Gold). Other felsic intrusion related gold deposits in the area include the world‐class +7.5Moz Wallaby gold deposit (Gold Fields).

  • The presence of a major N‐S trending fault predominantly east of the felsic intrusion which intersects the Korong‐Old Copper stratigraphy with coincident gold‐in‐soil anomalism makes the area an attractive target for gold exploration.

  • Final results have now been received from soil sampling programs conducted on 100m by 100m spacing over the Korong East felsic intrusion, as well as other target positions along the Korong‐ Waihi Trend which were sampled on both 50m x 50m and 100m x 25m spacings.

  • Multi‐element analysis of these sampling results has identified a strongly anomalous mineralised corridor up to 4,000m long by 300m wide which represents a priority target for exploration. Additional targets have also been identified within the area.

  • An initial program of approximately 11,000m of aircore drilling is scheduled to commence in mid‐October to further evaluate the soil anomalies over the Korong to Old Copper area and the Korong East felsic intrusion.

Syndicated Metals Limited (ASX: SMD – Syndicated or the Company ) is pleased to advise that it has identified an extensive felsic intrusion related gold target at its 100%‐owned Monument Gold Project in WA.

The new target, which has been defined through a geological review of intrusion‐related gold mineralisation in the Laverton District combined with the results of recent soil sampling programs, bears strong geological, geophysical, geochemical and structural similarities with other syenite‐ hosted gold deposits in the immediate area.

These include the Cameron Well prospect, the 1.4Moz Jupiter deposit located within the immediately adjoining 3.3Moz Mount Morgans Gold Project (MMGP), currently being explored and developed by Dacian Gold (ASX: DCN) (refer Dacian Gold announcement 25 July 2016), as well as the +7.5Moz Wallaby gold deposit, owned by Gold Fields (see Figure 1).

A large, elongate felsic intrusion has been defined at Korong East adjacent to the N‐S trending Korong Fault which intersects the Korong‐Waihi Trend between the Korong and Old Copper prospects (see Figure 3). This area contains a significant gold‐in‐soil anomaly approximately 4,000m long by 300m wide between Korong and Old Copper. In addition, a number of scattered gold‐in‐soil anomalies also lie over the Korong East felsic intrusion itself.

The area between Korong and Old Copper will be the principal focus of an extensive aircore drilling program scheduled to commence at Monument in mid‐October. In addition, aircore drilling will also test anomalous soil geochemistry along the western edge of the Korong East felsic intrusion to establish the source of the gold‐in‐soil anomalism in this area.

Syndicated’s Managing Director, Andrew Munckton, said the newly defined gold targets represented the culmination of several months of careful and systematic re‐evaluation of the exploration potential at Monument.

“Our main focus until now, including the two RC drilling programs completed to date, has been the BIF‐hosted (Banded Iron Formation) mineralisation at the Korong and A1 North prospects, located further to the north‐west, based on the similarity of these prospects to the geology at the Westralia gold mine currently being developed by Dacian Gold. We still believe this style of mineralisation to be a valid and promising target for high‐grade gold mineralisation within the Monument Project, more likely further north and west of the Korong and A1 prospects.

“However, we now believe there to be a much bigger picture for Syndicated at Monument. With the assistance of our geological and geochemical consultants, Southern Geoscience and Geochemical Services, we have now identified an extensive and compelling felsic intrusion‐related gold target further south‐east between Korong and Old Copper and to the east of this corridor, at Korong East.

“The Korong East felsic intrusion is clearly defined by regional magnetic and gravity data, and bears a strong resemblance to the large syenite intrusions which both host and vector towards significant mineralisation at Jupiter, Wallaby and other locations in the Laverton area, and which represent compelling exploration targets at Cameron Well.

“The results of soil sampling over Korong East and the area between Korong and Old Copper have delineated a number of areas of significant gold anomalism, coincident with cross‐cutting faults, which represent compelling drilling targets. The next step for us is to test these areas with aircore drilling, which will commence this month.”

– Monument Project Exploration

The Monument Gold Project comprises a 215km[2] tenement package located approximately 55km west of Laverton in the Laverton gold district of WA. The Laverton district hosts numerous multi‐ million ounce gold mines such as Sunrise Dam (+10Moz), Wallaby (+8Moz), Granny Smith (+2Moz) and Lancefield (+2Moz).

The package comprises twelve contiguous tenements (eight of which are granted and four applications) which lie immediately to the north‐west of the 3.3Moz Mount Morgans Gold Project owned by Dacian Gold Limited (ASX: DCN) (see Figure 1).

Syndicated has so far completed two programs of RC drilling at the Monument Project: an initial program comprising 29 RC holes and 7 diamond holes at the Korong prospect (completed in 2016) and a more recent limited 6‐hole program at the A1 North geophysical target. Both programs confirmed the presence of BIF‐hosted gold mineralisation associated with sulphides at both Korong and A1 North, which lie within a 16km long strike length of prospective BIF and Ultramafic rocks.

While this BIF horizon remains of interest to the Company, its focus has recently shifted towards the potential for gold mineralisation in structural positions related to the Korong East felsic intrusion.

‐ Geological Review of Intrusion Related Gold Deposits (IRGD)

Syndicated commissioned Southern Geoscience Consultants and Geochemical Services Pty Ltd to undertake a review of the intrusion‐related gold potential of the Laverton district and its relationship to the Monument Project. The key objective of this review was to compare the geophysical and geochemical responses of intrusion‐related gold deposits in the area to an interpreted large felsic body identified at the Korong East prospect at Monument.

Intrusion‐related prospects or deposits (generally termed syenites) in the study included Dacian Gold’s 1.4Moz Jupiter deposit and its Cameron Well and Callisto prospects, Gold Fields’s +7.5Moz Wallaby deposit as well as the Granny Smith and Beasley Creek deposits further afield. The study was based on publicly available regional magnetic data, ground gravity data, soil and drilling geochemical data, as well as information published by Dacian Gold and Gold Fields. Magnetic responses of the known deposits are illustrated in Figure 2. Geochemical comparison of the deposits is incomplete and ongoing.

Key conclusions to date from the review included:

  • The magnetic anomalies over the Laverton syenite bodies are generally elongate to ovoid in shape, with the size of the magnetic features ranging from 1‐2km.

  • The amplitude of the magnetic responses varies between 100 and 280nT, except for Wallaby, which has an exceptionally high amplitude of 840nT due to late stage magnetite alteration that post‐dates the intrusion.

  • The magnetic anomalies are generally zoned, comprising areas of higher and lower magnetic responses. According to Dacian Gold, these zones may be associated with separate intrusive phases or may relate to the depth of cover and the location of structures. Both magnetic highs and lows related to the intrusion can be mineralised.

  • Syenite bodies generally produce gravitational lows or are located at the contact between a gravitational high grading to a low. The contact may indicate the position of the fault/shear structures associated with the intrusion and its mineralisation.

  • The Korong East felsic intrusion is elongate in shape, slightly larger than the known mineralised syenite bodies. It has a maximum magnetic amplitude on the low end of the range (130nT). It is associated with a distinct gravitational low response. There is a distinct E‐ W Proterozoic dyke that bisects it. The northern rim of the magnetic feature has a higher magnetic amplitude response than the core of the feature or its southern rim.

Soil Sampling Results

An extensive regional soil sampling program has recently been completed. Three areas within the tenement package were highlighted for follow up and in‐fill soil sampling, including over the Korong to Old Copper area, the Korong East felsic intrusion and the Perseverance area.

All three areas previously had received very little exploration attention. Each area was sampled on a 400m by 100m spacing initially with follow up and in‐fill sampling at 50m x 50m spacing over Korong to Old Copper, 100m x 100m spacing over Korong East and 100m x 25m spacing over Perseverance. Samples were submitted to Intertek laboratories for multi‐element assay and low level (0.1ppb) detection of gold.

Zones of anomalous gold in soil responses are highlighted at all three locations.

At Korong to Old Copper a zone of anomalous gold mineralisation approximately 4,000m long by 150m to 300m wide is encountered over the mapped ultramafic unit that sits adjacent to and west of the Korong mineralisation further north.

This 4,000m long corridor has received only minor drilling at the southern end of the Korong deposit to date (see Figure 3).

The anomalous gold‐in‐soil positions correspond with the intersection of the Korong Ultramafic with the N‐S oriented Korong Fault. This ultramafic unit hosts a number of narrow, high‐grade mineralised horizons at the Westralia deposit(s) of Dacian Gold, located approximately 10km to the south‐east.

At Korong East, soil sampling has highlighted low‐level gold‐in‐soil anomalism on the eastern edge of the interpreted felsic intrusive position. Gold anomalism is associated with sheared and quartz veined oxidized felsic scree and rubble, generally adjacent to the interpreted positions of N‐S trending faults. Refer to Figure 3.

No outcrop or subcrop of the underlying rocks was encountered in the soil sampling program.

The results generally have one or two moderately anomalous (+15ppb) samples surrounded by broader areas of weakly anomalous samples (3ppb to 15ppb). This pattern of soil anomalism may reflect the generally flat lying nature of the gold mineralisation encountered at other syenite hosted gold deposits in the area (e.g. Wallaby, Jupiter and Cameron Well).

At Perseverance, a strongly anomalous zone approximately 2,000m in length and 100m to 200m wide, 2km north‐west of the Waihi prospect is highlighted.

The prominent BIF ridge that hosts the Waihi mineralisation and historical workings further south‐ east is not present but detailed mapping shows BIF and mafic to ultramafic sub‐crop with minor historical workings underlying the gold‐in‐soil anomaly (see Figure 4). Gold anomalism lies generally north‐west of the interpreted N‐S oriented Perseverance Fault.

Upcoming Aircore Programs

An 11,000m aircore drilling program is scheduled to commence in mid‐October, to assess the gold‐ in‐soil anomalism highlighted at Korong to Old Copper and Korong East. Ethnographic and WA Mines Department approvals have recently been received for the proposed program.

Drilling is being undertaken by Raglan Drilling and scheduled for 4‐5 weeks duration. Aircore drilling will initially take place at 400m line spacings and 50m hole spacings to drill refusal. See Figure 3 for proposed drilling locations.

Two lines of holes are also planned to test the eastern contact and gold‐in‐soil anomalism associated with the Korong East felsic intrusion. This work is aimed at giving the geological team an initial understanding of the nature, structure and geological features associated with this large intrusive body.

In‐fill drilling, if required, will be undertaken once assay results are received.

Soil sampling conducted between May and
September 2017. Samples were collected by
removing approximately 3.0kg of soil material
from between 10cm and 30cm below surface.
Samples were sieved to ‐80 microns to create a
fine fraction sample generally 100g to 250g in
weight for assay and dispatched to Intertek
Genalysis Laboratory. Complete fine fraction
samples were dispatched.
Sample spacings were 400m x 100m for regional
scale work over unsampled areas.
Anomalous areas encountered in the 400m x 100m
sampling were infilled at either 50m x 50m, 100m
x 100m or 100m x 25m dependent upon the
degree of geological understanding and extent of
known mineralisation.

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

from which 3kg was pulverised to produce a 30g
charge for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.

submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
Fine fraction soil samples were dispatched in 100g
to 250g samples to Intertek Genalysis Laboratories
in Perth.
Samples were dried and pulversied to 75um. The
determination of gold was by 10g aqua regia
/enhanced MS method with a 0.1ppb Au detection
limit.
