Drill Results Extend Copper Gold Zones at Burns

  • Final results have been compiled for the 28-hole RC and diamond tails program completed during the March 2021 quarter at the Burns copper-gold prospect at the Eastern Lefroy project, near Kalgoorlie. The results have

    • expanded the footprint of the Burns mineral system in all directions

    • identified three new open zones of Cu-Au mineralisation, including a high-grade interval in LEFR273 (see Fig 2 OPEN arrows on western side of Burns prospect).

    • extended the mineralised Eastern Porphyry 120m north from the baseline section that contains LEFR260. This trend also remains open

  • Significant results from the diamond drilling include: -

    • 48m @ 0.39g/t Au & 0.41% Cu from 146m in LEFR272

    • 29.1m @ 2.64g/t Au & 0.18% Cu from 277.4m in LEFR273 Incl. 0.5m @ 81.7g/t Au & 1.44% Cu from 279m

  • The six RC pre collars have each intersected broad zones of Au Cu mineralisation within the Eastern Porphyry which are interpreted to be an outer alteration zone to the mineralised interval in LEFR260. Significant results include: -

    • 39m @ 0.55g/t Au & 0.28% Cu from 96m in LEFR283

    • 48m @ 0.59g/t Au & 0.31% Cu from 84m in LEFR284

    • 20m @ 0.69g/t Au & 0.21% Cu from 44m in LEFR285

  • A new program of diamond drilling is now underway at Burns with the first hole designed to twin LEFR260 then extend beyond the depth attained in that hole.

ASX Announcement 29 April 2021

Lefroy Exploration Limited (ASX: LEX) (“Lefroy” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce results from a combined reverse circulation (RC) and diamond tails program that evaluated the Burns copper (Cu) gold (Au) prospect during the March 2021 quarter. Burns is within the Eastern Lefroy tenement package, which is part of the wholly owned greater Lefroy Gold Project (LGP) located 50km south east of Kalgoorlie (Figure 1).

The Burns prospect is situated on the eastern margin of a large interpreted felsic intrusion, termed the Burns Intrusion. The intrusion does not outcrop and has been identified from its distinctive annular aeromagnetic and gravity geophysical signature (Burns anomaly).

On the eastern side of the Burns anomaly broad high-grade mineralisation has been discovered (refer LEX ASX release 23 February 2021) hosted within a hematite-pyrite-chalcopyrite-magnetite altered porphyry. This porphyry, termed the Eastern Porphyry, is open to the north and south and its eastern extent is unknown (Figure 2). The mineralisation is also open at depth.

In March 2021 six angled RC holes, designed as pre collars for later diamond tails, were completed at Burns. These holes were drilled on five 40m spaced, east west sections along strike from the discovery section that hosts LEFR260 (Figure 2). The holes are named LEFR281 to LEFR286 and have hole depths from 60m to 204m (refer LEX ASX release 26 March 2021).

Final assay results from the four diamond tail holes, twenty-two RC holes and 6 RC pre-collar holes (totalling 4955m) have now been received, validated, and compiled and incorporated into the geological model. Interpretation and assessment of the results has delivered the outcomes noted below for each part of the program.

For ease of reference the east-west cross section containing hole LEFR 260 is now titled 0N (zero north). Other sections are titled north and south of this section, e.g., the section which is 40m north of section 0N is now titled 40N, and the section which is 80m south of section 0N is titled - 80N.

Diamond Tails Program

Four diamond tails were completed at Burns in February 2021. The holes were designed to follow up an historical (2014) hole OBUDD001 (refer-Lefroy Exploration Limited-Prospectus: 8 September 2016) which intersected Cu Au mineralisation in a strongly fractured highmagnesium basalt intruded by multiple feldspar porphyritic rocks.

The hole location is shown on Figure 2 highlighted in a grey box. Significant intersections from that hole included 38.5m @ 0.5g/t Au & 0.2% Cu from 184.5m and 55m @ 0.5g/t Au & 0.2% Cu from 229.85m.

The four recent diamond tails (LEFR266, 268, 272 and 273) were drilled on 40m spaced sections along strike to the north and south of OBUDD001. The final diamond tails terminated at depths ranging from 303.7m to 330.8m. The results from two of the four holes have defined two new, separate, and significant intervals of Cu-Au mineralisation that remain open.

ASX Announcement 29 April 2021

Hole LEFR 272 (section -80N) intersected multiple broad zones of Cu-Au mineralisation within a magnetite pyrite altered basalt. Significant new intersections from that hole include: -

65m @ 0.13g/t Au & 0.33% Cu from 24m

48m @ 0.39g/t Au & 0.41% Cu from 146m

This mineralisation is interpreted to be the down dip position of the very wide interval of mineralisation intersected in RC hole LEFR271 located 20m to the east (refer Figure 3) and to be related to the mineralisation in OBUDD001. This new system is open at depth and along strike.

Hole LEFR273 (Figure 2) on cross section -120N, intersected a new and unexpected Cu-Au mineralised zone within basalt that contains a narrow very high-grade interval: -

29.1m @ 2.64g/t Au & 0.18% Cu from 277.4m in LEFR273 Incl. 0.5m @ 81.7g/t Au & 1.44% Cu from 279m

The interval is interpreted to be from a near vertical structure that has continuity up dip to previous shallow RC holes on this drill section. This new interval is open to the south and may represent a new style of mineralisation at Burns.

Six Hole RC Pre-collar Program

A six-hole RC pre-collar program was completed in March 2021. The holes were drilled on five consecutive 40m spaced east west sections along strike from section 0N. The holes are LEFR281 to LEFR286 with depths ranging from 60m to 204m. Four of the drill sections were pre-existing, and hole LEFR285 was drilled on a new 40m step out to the north (section 120N). Each of the holes terminated just within the Eastern Porphyry.

Hole LEFR283 was drilled 40m north of hole LEFR260 and intersected two zones of magnetite, sulphide (pyrite, chalcopyrite) altered porphyry separated by magnetite altered basalt. The lower interval, from 120m to 138m (EOH) intersected an alteration zone which is visually similar to the high-grade interval in LEFR260 (refer LEX ASX announcement 26 March 2021).

Significant results from the program include: -

  • 39m @ 0.55g/t Au & 0.28% Cu from 96m in LEFR283 (section 40N)

  • 23m @ 0.19g/t Au & 0.80% Cu from 68m in LEFR283 Inc. 7m @2.68g/t Au &1.41% Cu from 81m

  • 48m @ 0.59g/t Au & 0.31% Cu from 84m in LEFR284 (section 80N)

  • 8m @0.79g/t Au & 0.06% Cu from 192m in LEFR284

  • 20m @ 0.69g/t Au & 0.21% Cu from 44m in LEFR285 (section 120N)

  • 15m @ 0.67g/t Au & 0.58% Cu from 144m in LEFR286 (section 40N)

  • o 16m @ 0.58g/t Au & 0.11% Cu from 164m in LEFR286

ASX Announcement

Each of holes LEFR283 to LEFR286 intersected broad zones of Cu and Au mineralisation. Hole LEFR285, a single hole on the northern most section (120N), has intersected multiple zones of Cu Au mineralised altered basalt and porphyry and is open to the north.

The Company interprets that the mineralisation intersected in each hole noted above is an outer halo which is peripheral to a higher-grade component of the Eastern Porphyry further down hole.

Interpretation and Next Steps

The compilation and assessment of the results from the Jan-Mar 2021 drilling program at Burns support, reinforce and significantly extend the Cu Au mineralisation at Burns. The drilling has discovered the Eastern Porphyry zone which now has a strike length of approximately 200m and which is open, plus three new zones of Cu Au mineralisation in the western basalt zone. These new zones are based on single drill holes and provide additional target areas to be followed up.

The recent drilling demonstrates Cu Au mineralisation with a current footprint of 200m east west by 300m north south which is open in all directions. The mineralisation is hosted in multiple rock types with varying geological, alteration and geochemical characteristics that the Company interprets as being derived from a large, multistage, intrusive mineral system or systems.

A new phase of diamond drilling has now commenced (LEX ASX release 20 April 2021) focussing on the Eastern Porphyry where 14 RC pre collars are available for diamond tails.

Additional work to support further evaluation includes: -

  • a) Development of a 3D geological and gold and copper model

  • b) Detailed gravity survey scheduled for May to assist in mapping rock density contrasts

  • c) 3D modelling of prior ground magnetic data and newly acquired gravity data to produce an integrated geophysical model to guide drilling

  • d) Submission of selected drill samples for full suite multi element analyses to assist in development of a 3D geochemical model to guide drilling and characterise rock types

  • e) A heritage survey on Lake Randall is scheduled for June 2021

This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board

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.
• Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.
• 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 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 (eg submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.

The sampling noted in this release has been carried out
using Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond drilling (DD) at
the Burns Copper (Cu) – Gold (Au) prospect. The drill
program comprise 28 RC holes of which 4 of these holes
would have a DD tail. Holes varying in depth from 150m to
330.85m with an average depth of 200m. All holes were
drilled at 600toward 0900(East).

Sampling and QAQC protocols as per industry best practice
with further details below.

RC bulk samples were collected from the cyclone at 1m
intervals in plastic buckets and arranged in rows of 20
samples. 1m split samples were collected from 0m to end of
hole (EOH). 1m split samples were collected directly off the
drill rig cone splitter into calico bags attached to the
cyclone. The sample collected generally weighed 2-3kg. Four
metre composite samples were collected using a scoop to
produce a 2-3kg sample from 0m to end of hole collected
from the bulk samples except where the geologist log
significant sulphides and as such the 1m split sample direct
off the cyclone was sent to the laboratory for analysis
(LEFR260). Upon receival of the 4m composite results, 1m
split samples were then collected from anomalous gold
intervals (>0.1g/t Au) and/or >500ppm (0.05%) Cu. The 1m
samples were sent to the Laboratory in Perth for analysis.
The samples were dried, pulverised, split to produce a 40g
charge for analysis by fire assay with Au determination by
Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). Additional elements
will derived using a mixed acid digest with ICP finish for Cu,
Ag, As, Mo, Fe, Pb, S, Te, W and Zn. The 4m composite
samples were sent to the Laboratory in Kalgoorlie, then
Perth for analysis. The samples were dried, pulverised, split
to produce a sample for Au analysis Aqua Regia and
determination by ICPMS. Additional elements, will derived
using a mixed acid digest with ICPMS finish for Cu and Ag,

DD was conducted utilising NQ sized core as the RC pre-
collar drilled into fresh competent rock. This was left to
drillers’ discretion. Core was collected in core trays where it
was marked up and logged by the supervising geologist. It
was noted the there was excellent core recovery and only
minor zones of core loss which were recorded by the
geologist. Samples are awaiting cutting and sampling but
will be first cut in half using an Almonte core saw and
collected in calico bags with a minimum sample width of
0.2m and a maximum 1.2m to produce a 2-4kg sample
through the interpreted mineralised zone. Once at the lab
samples were dried, crushed and prepared to produce a 40g
charge for fire assay analysis for gold (Au) by Atomic
Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). Additional elements, will
derived using a mixed acid digest with ICP finish for Cu, Ag,
As,Mo,Fe,Pb,S,Te,W and Zn.
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg 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).

The Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was completed by a
KWL350RC rig from Challenge Drilling (Kalgoorlie) for holes
LEFR259-280. Holes LEFR281-286 were completed by
completed by an RC rig from Raglan Drilling (Kalgoorlie).
Low air face sampling hammer drilling proved satisfactory to
penetrate the regolith and reduce contamination risk.

The diamond drilling (DD) was completed by Raglan Drilling
(Kalgoorlie). NQ sized core was primarily used as core was
generally competent. Accurate bottom of hole orientation
marks were captured usingan Ace tool.
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative nature of
the samples.


Diamond core was measured and compared to drilled
interval indicated by the drillers. From this, a percentage of
recovery can be calculated. Where core loss occurred, this
has been diligently noted by the drill crew and geologist.
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
• Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.

The use of professional and competent core drilling
contractors minimised the issues with sample recoveries. An
honest and open line of communication between the drill
crew and the geologist allowed for a comprehensive
understanding of where core loss may have occurred.

Sample recovery visually inspected and recorded by the rig
geologist and sampler.

material (0-10m) during RC drilling
Logging • Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies
and metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.
• The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.

Detailed logging of, regolith, lithology, structure, veining,
alteration, mineralisation and recoveries recorded in each
hole by qualified geologist.

Logging carried out by sieving individual 1m sample cuttings,
washing in water and the entire hole collected in plastic chip
trays for future reference for RC drilling.

Every hole was logged for the entire length.

Diamond core underwent detailed logging through the
entire hole with data being transferred to the Lefroy drilling
database after capture

Analysis of rock type, colour, structure, alteration, veining
and geotechnical data were all routinely collected.

Geological logging is qualitative in nature and relies on the
geologist logging the hole to make assumptions of the core
character based on their experience and knowledge.

Recovery, RQD (rock quality designation) and magnetic
susceptibility measurements were recorded and are
considered to be quantitative in nature.

Core within the core trays for each hole was photographed
using a purpose made camera stand and a quality digital SLR
camera and stored in the database.

All drill holes were logged in their entirety (100%).
Sub-sampling

RC

Sampling of 1m intervals directly off a rig-mounted cone
splitter into separate calico bags. Sample weight 2 - 3 kg. A
4m composite sample was collected, from 0m to EOH for
each hole. The composite samples were collected by using a
scoop to collect a representative “split” from each bulk
sample that made up a 4m composite interval, this was
placed into a pre-numbered calico bag. Pre-numbered calico
bags containing the samples were despatched to the
laboratory for assay. Upon receival of results for 4m
composite samples, selected 1m resplit samples (collected
at cyclone) were collected in the field for submission by the
same fire assay and mixed acid technique.
• The sample preparation of the RC samples follows industry
best practice, involving oven drying, pulverising, to produce
a homogenous sub sample for analysis.

Along with submitted samples, standards and blanks were
inserted on a regular basis where the pre-numbered calico
bag ended with the numbers 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100.
Standards were certified reference material prepared by
Geostats PtyLtd.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of
the assaying and laboratory procedures used
and whether the technique is considered
partial or total.
• For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the analysis
including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied
and their derivation, etc.


1m RC and DD Samples routinely analysed for gold using
the 40gram Fire Assay digest method with an AAS finish at
Bureau Veritas’s Kalgoorlie Laboratory. Additional elements,
will derived using a mixed acid digest with ICP finish for Cu,
Ag, As, Mo, Fe, Pb, S, Te, W and Zn.

Quality control process and internal laboratory checks
demonstrate acceptable levels of accuracy. At the
laboratory regular assay repeats, lab standards, checks and
blanks were analysed.
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
• Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and whether
acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias)
andprecision have been established.

The pulps from the 1m samples in hole LEFR260 were re-
assayed by fire assay as a second measure of quality control.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
• The verification of significant intersections
by either independent or alternative
company personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
• Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

The geology of the significant intersection in hole LEFR260
was viewed in the field by the managing director and also in
chip tray.

No holes were planned to twin prior drill holes, however
new holes are proximal (<40m) to historic drill holes which
contained high grade Cu-Au to confirm and validate historic
work.

Capture of field logging is electronic using Toughbook
hardware and Logchief software. Logged data is then
exported as an excel spreadsheet to the Company’s external
database managers which is then loaded to the Company’s
DATASHED database and validation checks completed to
ensure data accuracy. Assay files are received electronically
from the laboratory and filed to the Company’s server, and
provided to the external database manager.

There has been no adjustment to the assay data. The
primary gold (Au) plus additional elements field reported by
the laboratory is the priority value used for plotting,
interrogating and reporting.
Location of data
points
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drill holes (collar and down-hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and other
locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.
• Specification of the grid system used.
• Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.

Drill hole positions were surveyed using a GPS operated by
the rig geologist/field assistant. In the future post drilling,
drill hole collars were surveyed using a DGPS by a third-
party contractor. Down holes surveys were completed by
Raglan and Challenge drill crew using a multi-shot gyro
which records a survey every <5m down the hole.

Data spacing and
distribution
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
• Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of
geological and grade continuity appropriate
for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications
applied.
• Whether sample compositing has been
applied.

Hole spacing at approximately 40m spaced intervals

Mineralisation at the Burns prospect is primarily hosted by a
magnetite-biotite altered High Mg basalt which has been
intruded by a later felsic to intermediate porphyry intrusion.
The contacts of which are not uniform however the
intrusion appears to be roughly vertical. Mineralisation is
predominantly Cu plus Au. There is an association between
Cu and Au mineralisation but they can occur independently
of one another. There is a strong upgrade of Cu and Au in
the supergene environment approximately 50-100m down-
hole and this is typically flat in its orientation. A primary
system (hypogene) occurs in the fresh rock below 100m
depth and at this stage the orientation and main controls on
mineralisation is not known. It is thought that the
mineralisation may dip toward the west-south-west and
plunge toward the south-east, hence the drill orientation
toward the east.

Initial 4m composite samples will be used as a guide to re-
sample parts of the drill hole which are likely to contain the
best Cu and Au grades.
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Orientation of
data in relation to
geological
structure

• Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.
• If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.
• The roughly east-west orientated drill traverses considered
effective to evaluate the roughly north-south to north-west
south-east trending stratigraphy.
• The drill orientation is a more effective test of “true” width
of the host rock due to the fact the host rock unit is striking
roughly North-West/South-East.
• At this stage the primary controls on the hypogene copper-
gold (Cu-Au) system are not completely understood,
however analysis of previous drilling in conjunction with this
drilling have determined the drill hole orientation is
optimum to determine the true width of mineralisation and
improve geological knowledge of the system.
Sample security • The measures taken to ensure sample
security.

Samples were bagged in labelled and numbered polyweave
or plastic bags, collected and personally delivered to the
Bureau Veritas Laboratory (Kalgoorlie) by Company field
personnel. Samples were then on sent to the BV lab in Perth
Samples were then sorted and checked for inconsistencies
against lodged Submission sheet by Bureau Veritas staff.

Bureau Veritas checked the samples received against the
Lefroy Exploration Limited (LEX) submission sheet to notify
of any missing or extra samples. Following analysis, the
sample, pulps and residues are retained by the laboratory in
a secure storageyard.
Audits or reviews • The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.

All sampling and analytical results of the drill program were
reviewed by the Senior Exploration Geologist and Managing
Director. Anomalous gold and copper intersections were
checked against library core photos and logging to correlate
with geology. QAQC reports are auto generated by the
database managers and reviewed by staff.

The Managing Director sampled and assisted with logging of
the drill holes and was on site for the drilling-sampling of
LEFR281-LEFR286

The area fell within TR 3697, which had been taken up for nickel. The anomaly stood out on the BMR aeromagnetic contoured plans and BHP was testing aeromagnetic anomalies that could have an ultramafic source. The anomaly was confirmed by ground magnetics but an attempt to drill test with two percussion holes failed to identify any bedrock and no further work was attempted.

  • 1984 Coopers Resources/Enterprise Gold Mines: The ground encompassing Burns was taken up as three Els, E15/19-21.

  • 1985 BHP: BHP farmed into E15/21 having re-interpreted the magnetic feature as a potential carbonatite. BHP’s E15/57 covered the western one third of the anomaly. Following ground magnetic traverses, BHP drilled two diamond core holes, LR 1 and 2. LR 1 falls within Goldfields E15/1638 and LR 2 falls within P15/6397. The results, which are covered in the next section, did not indicate a carbonatite and so BHP withdrew their interest in the area.

  • 1985-1989 CRAE: Meanwhile CRAE was conducting exploration for gold on adjacent tenements and had engaged Jack Hallberg to carry out geological mapping. He mapped suites of intermediate dykes (plagioclase-quartzhornblende porphyry) intruding basalt in outcrops to the north west of Burns.

  • 1992: M. Della Costa took up E15/304 over aeromagnetic anomalies including Burns. The EL was vended into Kanowna Consolidated Gold Mines as part of the St Alvano project.

  • • 1996-2001 WMC: WMC joint-ventured into the St Alvano project, which comprised a total of 12 ELs. They flew 50m line-spaced aeromagnetics and engaged EHW to interpret. Burns was not highlighted as such but the magnetic anomalies forming portions of the annular ring were tested with air core, leading to the discovery of the Neon prospect. Subsequent to the EHW study a gravity survey was conducted which did identify the Burns intrusive as a gravity low.

  • • 2001-2003 Goldfields: Goldfields took over exploration and conducted further air core drilling at Neon. They identified S11 as a target to the south of Burns. The target was secondary gold dispersion in weathered bedrock associated with magnetite enrichment. A series of north-south air core traverses were drilled on 640 X 160m. Results were regarded as disappointing and the project was dropped.

  • • 2005-2008 Gladiator Resources: The area was taken up by Sovereign following their assessment of previous work. They identified Homer’s Inlet and the S11 area as priority targets. In 2007 a JV was established with Newmont/Sipa covering the gold rights. In 2008 the southern and eastern sectors of W15/774 was surrendered and taken up as E15/1030. The northern sector including Burns was surrendered.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
• 2008 Gold Attire: The ground surrendered by Sovereign over
Burns was taken up as E15/1097.
• 2008-2010 Newmont: Newmont joint ventured into the
Sovereign and Gold Attire ELs. It conducted an 800 X 400m
gravity survey to trace a north-south “Salt Creek-Lucky Bay”
corridor through the tenements. This was tested by four
lines of aircore on 640 X 160m spacing. Two aircore
traverses on a 1200 X 320m spacing were also and
conducted across the interpreted intrusion and the
surrounding magnetic halo. Infill drilling was conducted
following up on the 2.0m @ 5.0 g/t Au intercept in a
Goldfields hole, SAL 1089. The hole was re-entered and a
diamond core tail drilled. This hole falls just inside E15/1638
close to the boundary with P15/6397.
• 2010-2019 Octagonal Resources: Three phases of AC to
define a gold in regolith anomaly east of the main intrusive
body. Two phases of RC identified Ag-Cu-Au mineralisation
on four sections spaced approx. 40m apart. The drilling
recognised Cu mineralisation which due to the host rock
association, Octagonal believed there was potential for a
much larger intrusion related system so the emphasis was
switched
from
orogenic
gold
style
exploration
to
predominately copper focussed intrusion related hosted
mineralisation. In 2013 surface geophysical techniques were
applied looking for conductors that might represent massive
sulphides. Ground EM failed to identify any bedrock
conductors, but the magnetic surveys did identify anomalies.
In 2014, a diamond core hole, OBUDD001, was drilled at -60
degrees to 090 east to 401.5m in order to test the source of
the magnetic anomalism, which occurred within the area
tested by the RC drilling. It intersected a 3.6m wide zone of
mafic-dominant
breccia
including
0.9m
of
massive
magnetite-chalcopyrite which returned 4.5 g/t Au, 2.6% Cu
from 256.4m, within a low-grade zone of 55.95m @ 0.5 g/t
Au and 0.2% Cu from 229.85m It was interpreted to be a
west-dipping structure and the feeder conduit for the
mineralization. A second zone of low-grade mineralization of
38.5m @ 0.5 g/t Au and 0.2% Cu was intersected from
184.5m. An EIS grant in 2015 and a loan from a third-party
company allowed for two more DD holes to be completed,
however by 2016 the Company was acquired by the third-
party loan company and subsequently delisted from the
ASX.
Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style
of mineralisation.

The Lefroy Project is located in the southern part of the
Norseman Wiluna Greenstone Belt and straddles the triple
junction of three crustal units, the Parker, Boorara and Bulong
Domain. The Lefroy project tenements are mostly covered by
alluvial, colluvial and lacustrine material with very little outcrop.
Burns is proximal to the Lake margin and is subsequently under
>20-25m of lake sediment and surface sand dune cover. A
stripped profile below this cover means that there is no
significant dispersion or oxide component to the Burns
prospect. Mineralisation is hosted with a High Mg Basalt and in
an intermediate composition porphyry which intrudes the
basalt. Mineralisation is primarily gold associated with
magnetite alteration and copper occurring as native copper and
chalcopyrite in veins and veinlets throughout the basalt and
porphyry.
