Planning for airborne geophysical survey during the 2022 field season underway
Mamba Exploration Limited (ACN 644 571 826) ( “Mamba” , “M24” or the “Company” ) is pleased to announce that recent surface sampling at the Copper Flats Project in the Kimberley of Western Australia has confirmed previous high grade copper prospects and identified several additional targets (See Figure 1). These samples, in conjunction with a detailed review of previous exploration activities, have highlighted the potential of the area to the north of the original Copper Flats tenure. As a result, Mamba has lodged applications for additional exploration licences with the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS), which more than doubles the size of the Copper Flats Project.

Mamba’s Managing Director Mike Dunbar commented:
“ To confirm the presence of very high grade copper and silver mineralisation in this very underexplored portion of Western Australia is very pleasing. It is not often that grades up to 34% copper are identified from surface sampling. To also have highly elevated silver grading up to 230 g/t at the same time is a great outcome. We believe this validates our belief that the Copper Flats Project has significant potential, the scale of which is not yet fully appreciated.
Not only has the sampling confirmed the high grades from the known prospects, but it has also identified new areas of mineralisation and highlighted a number of structural and stratigraphic targets.
To achieve this from the first reconnaissance field trip undertaken by Mamba is a great result.
After the field investigation, our technical team identified that the historical exploration data showed that the sedimentary basin is considerably more shallow than initially interpreted. As a result, it was identified that the open ground to the north of the project was highly prospective and that the depth to the basement unconformity target zone would not be an impediment to exploration.
Additional tenement applications were therefore lodged with the mines department, more than doubling the size of the project to approximately 2,320 km[2] .
Given the open file historical exploration identified significant copper and silver mineralisation in the area, it was particularly surprising that this area was vacant and available to be pegged.
We are now in the process of evaluating and interpreting the available geophysical datasets for the expanded project and planning the next airborne geophysical surveys for the project, which are expected to be undertaken early in the 2022 field season ”
Rock Chip Sampling:
During a recent field trip to investigate and confirm the historical prospects at the Copper Flats Project in the Kimberley, 25 rock samples were collected. Of these samples, 8 returned significant Copper and Silver Mineralisation (+0.3% Cu).

The samples were collected from the eastern portion of the Copper Flats Project at Area 5, Area 4, and Forrest Creek (see Figure 2 and Table One). The very high-grade copper results are likely to have been significantly upgraded by supergene alteration, however the elevated silver grades are of particular interest. Silver undergoes significantly less supergene enrichment compared to copper, so the presence of highly elevated silver mineralisation of up to 230 g/t, significantly upgrades the potential of these targets.
Importantly these samples (as well as the historical sampling) have only tested the surficial potential of the area and the structural targets or stratigraphic positions remain untested at depth.
The only historical drilling in the area was undertaken by Ord River Resources in 2007 at Area 4 and focused on testing beneath the “Sand Volcanoes”, which Mamba considers to constitute relatively small narrow structural targets which will have limited economic potential. As a result, the larger higher priority structural and stratigraphic targets remain completely untested by drilling (See Mamba Prospectus dated December 14, 2020 for full details of drilling).
Copper Flats Project Doubles in Size:
Following the field investigations and rock chip sample results, a detailed review of the historical exploration was undertaken. This highlighted that the Hardman sedimentary basin that hosts the mineralisation is far shallower than previously interpreted. As a result, a number of the conceptual stratigraphic and structural targets will be considerably shallower than previously interpreted, opening up the potential of the area to the north of the original project tenure. As a result, new tenement applications have been lodged with DMIRS, which more than double the size of the Copper Flats Project.
Limited surface sampling and drilling has been undertaken on the expanded portion of the project, with surface sampling identifying copper soil anomalies of up to 2,000m x 500m in size with peak results of 5% copper at the Ord Hill Prospect (see Figure 3 & 4). A total of 8 shallow RC holes were completed in the area in 2001 and 2005. These holes were not centred on the highest portion of the soil anomaly, so they are not considered an effective test of the anomaly and have not tested the Headley’s limestone or the contact with the Antrim volcanics, which conceptually is one of the priority targets (see Figure 5).
Additionally, one auger hole was drilled in 1994 approximately 1km to the south of the Ord Hill soil anomaly and intersected significant shallow mineralisation of 1m @ 0.38% Cu from surface, while a rock chip sample returned 46.5% copper and 161 g/t Ag and two soil samples returned 0.36% and 0.50% copper. No further exploration has been undertaken in the area (see Figure 4).
Along strike approximately 30 and 60km to the southwest, two additional soil anomalies have been identified and high-grade copper rock chip samples collected (see Figure 3). These anomalies are poorly defined and only limited follow-up has been undertaken to date. During the recent field visit, Mamba took one sample from the area to confirm the historical anomalism in the area. The sample returned 0.6% copper and 16.5 g/t silver (see Figure 2) confirming the historical copper anomalism in the region.
Compilation of the historical exploration data is ongoing and detailed follow-up geochemical sampling and geophysical surveys are currently being planned. It is likely that the next phase of geophysical surveying will be undertaken early in the 2022 field season.

• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised 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. |
Copper Flats Area • Rock chip samples were collected via ‘grab sampling’, whereby visually altered, anomalous and/or representative rock specimens were collected for laboratory assay. • Historical soil sampling was undertaken on local and MGA grids at various sample spacing although most of the Ord Hill Prospect was sampled on a 100m x 50m spacing • The limited historical drilling was undertaken on nominal 70m spaced lines and 30m hole spacing |
| • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |

| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer 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. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
Copper Flats Area • Significant intersections (+0.3% copper) have been calculated with no edge dilution and a minimum of 1m downhole length. • No top cuts have been applied. • No metal equivalent values are reported. |
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. • If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. • If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
• Not applicable |
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be 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. |
• Appropriate plans are included in this report |
| Balanced reporting |
• 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. |
• Significant exploration drill results are included in this report. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
• 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. |
• To date, only exploration drilling and geochemical surveys (and associated activities) have been undertaken on the project. No other modifying factors have been investigated at this stage. |
| Further work | • The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). • Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
• Future planned exploration activities are outlined in this report |
