High-Grade Shallow Gold Intersected at Calyerup Creek in Maiden Drill Programme

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • Initial RC drilling at Calyerup Creek has intersected multiple shallow high-grade zones of gold mineralisation. The 8 holes completed include:

  • 15m @ 2.20 g/t gold from 1m, including 3m @ 3.53 g/t in 21CCRC002

  • 15m @ 2.08 g/t gold from 3m, including 2m @ 9.74 g/t gold in 21CCRC007

  • 2m @ 2.70 g/t from surface and 11m @ 1.38 g/t gold from 7m in 21CCRC004

  • 10m @ 1.34 g/t gold from 20m in 21CCRC005

  • 2m @ 2.59 g/t gold from 19m in 21CCRC006

  • In total, 50 holes are planned at Calyerup Creek, with drilling of the remaining 42 RC holes due to recommence on 21[st] of January

  • Follow up infill soil sampling completed in December has confirmed and upgraded the existing anomalous soil sampling trends with soil results up to 2.8 g/t gold identified

  • An additional programme of works (PoW) has been submitted to DMIRS for approval, allowing drilling to continue beyond the current 50-hole programme

Mamba Exploration Limited (ACN 644 571 826) (‘ Mamba ’, ‘ M24 ’ or the ‘ Company ’) is pleased to announce that the initial drilling at the Calyerup Creek Project in the Great Southern of Western Australia has interested shallow high-grade gold mineralisation. Of the first 8 holes completed, 7 intersected significant (+0.5 g/t gold) mineralisation with results including 15m @ 2.2 g/t gold from 1m downhole, including 3m @ 3.53 g/t gold in 21CCRC002; 15m @ 2.08 g/t gold from 3m downhole, including 2m @ 9.74 g/t gold in 21CCRC007; 16m @ 1.05 g/t gold from 18m downhole, including 3m @ 2.58 g/t gold in 21CCRC003; and 2m @ 2.7 g/t gold from surface and 11m @ 1.38 g/t gold from 7m downhole in 21CCRC004 (see Figures 2-6 and Table 1 for the full list of significant intersections and Table 2 for drill hole information). RC drilling is due to

recommence on Friday the 21[st] of January with the remaining 42 RC holes from the initial programme to be completed.

In addition to the RC drilling, a programme of infill soil sampling was also completed in December 2021. This programme was designed to infill the existing soil sampling dataset and to better define the anomalous gold trends identified which extend for a total of 2,800m. This programme was a great success, identifying significant extensions to the mineralisation while also better defining the anomalous gold trends. The peak results were 2.8 g/t gold (2,800 ppb Au) from the southern trend and 1.3 g/t gold (1,300 ppb Au) from the northern trend (See Figure 7 below). These trends remain undrilled and a programme of works (PoW) has already been submitted to the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) for an additional 100 RC holes. This drilling will be undertaken once the existing programme of ~50 holes has been completed and results compiled and released.

Managing Director, Mike Dunbar said,

“It is very pleasing to report shallow and consistent widths of high-grade gold mineralisation in seven of the first eight RC holes completed by the Company at the Calyerup Creek Gold Project. To intersect consistent and significant widths of high-grade gold mineralisation from such shallow depths along a strike length of around 140m at the Southern Prospect is a great result.

Importantly this is just the start of the programme. With the two soil anomalies extending for over 1,400m each, this drilling represents less than 5% of the strike potential of the anomalous gold in soil trends and the depth potential remains completely open below around 30m vertically. While the initial programme was expected to be completed prior to Christmas, due to mechanical issues with the drill rig and the drilling being slower than anticipated, only 8 holes of the 50 holes could be completed prior to the end of the year. Pleasingly we have managed to secure another small RC rig to complete the drilling, with the rig mobilising to site on Thursday the 20[th] of January and is expected to commence drilling on Friday the 21[st] . This drilling will initially focus on the shallower portions of the programme.

Additionally, to have identified high grade gold up to 2,800ppb (2.8g/t gold) in the southern trend and 1,300ppb (1.3g/t gold) from the northern trend in the infill soil sampling programme is a great outcome. This infill data has better defined the anomalous gold trends and an additional PoW for the project has been submitted for approval by DMIRS to allow additional drilling to be completed. Once approved, the additional drilling will be undertaken as a priority.”

JORC Code (2012) Table 1 – Calyerup Creek Project Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

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.

RC drilling was used to produce a 1m bulk sample (~20kg). A representative
sample was split from the bulk sample. Sampling was undertaken as a single
meter sample from a cone splitter The samples submitted for analysis were
nominally 3kg in weight.

Field collection of soil samples completed by Mamba Exploration in 2021 utilised
a 2mm mesh sieve to collect 200 - 300g of material at each sample location.
Laboratory preparation dried samples at a nominal 110 degrees and then
pulverized to 75 μm. Samples were treated via the ‘AR10MS’ Aqua Regia digest
for 10gwith AASfinish for Au only assayresults.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity
and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.

MinAnalytical use a number of certified reference materials for each of the assay
methods selected. Additional QA/QC checks were undertaken including four
standards being inserted every 100 samples and repeats samples also included in
each assay batch. All standards assayed within the expected range for the assay
method used.

The soil sampling undertaken has been angled approximately perpendicular to the
strike of the historical workings and overall geological fabric in the area.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.

RC Samples were assayed by Photon Assay at MinAnalytical in Perth. The
technique was developed by CSIRO and Chrysos Corporation and uses high
energy x‐rays to energise gold atoms and detect its characteristic energy
signature. MinAnalytical has been accredited for the Photon Assay technique by
the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA). The advantages of Photon
Assay over Fire Assay include:

bulk analysis of up to 500 g sample‐reduces volume variance issues with
coarse gold (Fire Assay only 50 g charge)

high degree of automation, significantly reduced sample preparation and no
pulverisation reduces potential for bias and cross‐contamination

non‐destructive‐can reanalyse samples

can create standards from materials being assayed

independent of sample physical or chemical form

chemical free‐more environmentally responsible
The disadvantage is a slightly higher lower detection limit of 0.03 g/t Au versus 0.01
g/t Au for Fire Assay, Other low level techniques are used for earlier stage
exploration programs where low detection limits are required for detecting
anomalies associated with mineralised systems.

All soil sample results are shown in figures 7 of the report. Soil sample analysis
was undertaken by Minanalytical using ‘ARMS10’ Aqua Regia Digest method with
a 10g charge, which is a low level (1 ppb detection) gold method

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (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.

Industry standard sampling and logging techniques for RC drilling have been used
for these samples. Logging was undertaken by a suitably qualified geologist from
a sieved subsample of the 20kg bulk sample for the geological logs. Each meter
was sieved and rock chips collected in chip trays, each containing 20 metres of
chips.

Soil sampling was undertaken using a 2mm mesh sieve with approximately 200 –
300gcollected at each site.
Drilling
techniques

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).

Drilling was undertaken using RC. A face sampling RC hammer of approximately
4 ½ inch was used.

Soil sampling was undertaken using a 2mm mesh sieve with approximately 200 –
300g collected at each site.
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.

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.

Sample recovery was generally high.

Sample recovery was maximised by the use of face sampling hammers and by
maintaining air pressure within the hole, minimising water ingress into the hole.

No relationship between sample recovery and grade is known at this stage.

No bias has been identified between drill sample size or soil sample size and
grade.
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.

All intervals were geologically logged to a level that could be used to support a
mineral resource, however at this early stage of exploration, it is unknown if with
additional drilling is a Mineral Resource could be estimated.

Each soil sample location was logged for soil type and colour to assist in refining
the geological mapping and interpretation.

Qualitative logging of the regolith and soil type was undertaken at each soil sample
point.
Sub-
sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core
taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and
whether sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the
in situ material collected, including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material
being sampled.

The RC samples were sampled from a rig mounted cyclone with a cone splitter.
The bulk splitter rejects further split into a duplicate sample collected as a future
reference sample with the remaining rejects placed on the ground with a small
subsample collected and sieved for geological logging.

The sampling and sub sampling techniques are considered appropriate for the
style of mineralisation being sought.

Sample sizes are considered to be appropriate for the style of mineralisation being
sought.
Soil sampling

200 – 300g was sieved at each sampling point.

All of the sample was delivered to Minanalytical for analysis, where the entire
sample was pulverized to 75 μm. And a 10g charge taken and assayed using the
‘AR10MS’ Aqua Regia digest with an AAS finish and reported for gold only.

Sampling was carried out using industry-standard practice.

No external QA/QCprocedures were undertaken for this soil sampling, however
internal Lab QA/QC processes were undertaken including duplicate samples and
repeat analysis on selected (anomalous) results. The highly anomalous sample
results repeated reasonably well, considering the high nugget effect normally
expected with gold sampling and analysis.

The sample size is considered appropriate for the material being sampled.
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.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been
established.

Photon Assay: Samples were analysed at MinAnalytical in Perth. The analytical
method used was a 500 g Photon Assay for gold only, which is considered to be
appropriate for the material and mineralisation

QA/QC check samples were inserted into the assay batch. Certified standards
were inserted every 25 samples and a duplicate sample inserted into each assay
batch. These QA/QC assays reported within the expected range for the standard
Inserted for the assay method used. In addition to Company inserted check
samples, MinAnalytical also use internal Lab standards in each batch and check
assays including a reference or calibration disk with each Photon assay. The
QA/QC results all fall within the expected ranges.
Soil sampling

The analytical techniques are considered appropriate for the soil sampling stage
of exploration being conducted.

No specific review of internal laboratory QA/QC protocols has been completed on
the soil sampling assay batches, although this is considered appropriate given the
early stage of exploration being undertaken.
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 assay data and soil gold trends have been identified by multiple company
personnel, who independently confirm the interpretation.

No holes have been twinned at this stage, this would not be expected at this early
stage of exploration.

No adjustments (other than compositing significant results) have been made to
original assay data.
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.

Hand held GPS was used to peg the holes. As the holes are very shallow, no
down hole surveys have been collected. Hand Held GPC was used for the soil
sampling.

The grid system used was GDA (zone 50).

Topographic control is based on data from the WA Government dataset, which is
considered to be adequate for the current stage of exploration
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.

The drilling reported is the maiden drill programme for the Company on the project
and as a result there is not enough data to support a Mineral Resource estimate
(MRE). It is uncertain that with additional drilling a MRE could be completed.

Compositing of assay data has been undertaken with significant intersections
above 0.5 g/t gold reported (see Table 1 in the body of the report). Up to 4m of
internal waste (below 0.5g/t) has been incorporated into the overall mineralized
intervals.
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.

Drilling has been designed to intersect the geochemical anomalies and geological
features perpendicular to the anomaly or overall geological fabric in the area.

The relationship between downhole intervals and true widths is unknown at this
stage, although the mineralisation appears to dip at approximately 500– 600to the
north and drilling has been undertaken with holes dipping 600angled to the south.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample security.

Samples were collected on site to company employees and delivered directly to
MinAnalytical for analysis or delivered to a third party freight company, who
delivered the samples directly to MinAnalytical. There were no delays in sample
deliveriesfromthefreight yard to thelaboratory.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

No external audits or reviews of the sampling techniques have been undertaken.

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.

No data has been excluded from this release
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.

Sampling was undertaken on 1m intervals. An arithmetic average of the gold
grades has been used to calculate the significant mineralised intervals. A
minimum grade of 0.5 g/t gold was used and an allowance for up to 4m of internal
waste (below 0.5 g/t gold) is incorporated into the individual reported intersections.
No top cutting of high grade results was undertaken

No metal equivalents are reported.
Relationshi
p between
mineralisati
on 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’).

Drilling has been designed to intersect the geochemical anomalies perpendicular
to the anomaly and to the geological strike


The relationship between downhole intervals and true widths is unknown at this
stage, although the mineralisation appears to dip at approximately 500– 600to the
north and drilling has been undertaken with holes dipping 600angled to the south.

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.

All significant zones of mineralisation (+0.5g/t gold) are included in Table one in
the body of the 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.

All relevant data is incorporated into the diagrams in the body of the report
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.

As mentioned in the body of the report, RC drilling is scheduled to recommence
on Friday the 21st of January to complete the 42 holes of the original progarmme
still to be drilled. Additional RC drilling will be undertaken based on the infill soil
sample results. A PoW has been submitted to DMIRS for approval to allow
additional drilling to be undertaken.
