Further Sulphide Intersections at Black Hills

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

  • The second diamond drill hole (23BHD002) drilled in the Black Hills Project in the Darling Ranges tenements, 30km from Chalice’s Julimar deposit, has intersected two zones of sulphide mineralisation including:

  • 1.14m of Disseminated Sulphides (+ 5% sulphide) from 113.0m,

  • 3.95m Semi Massive to Heavily Disseminated Sulphides from 148.6m

  • The third diamond drill hole (23BHD003) drilled has intersected four broad zones of sulphide mineralisation including:

  • 2.6m of Heavily Disseminated Sulphides (+15% sulphide) including 0.3m of Massive Sulphides from 166.6m,

  • 2.6m of Disseminated Sulphides from 176.4m,

  • 7.5m of Heavily Disseminated Sulphides (+12% sulphide) from 185.3m and

  • 3.3m of Disseminated Sulphides from 203.6m

  • The sulphide zones correspond well with the location of the modelled EM conductors.

  • Downhole EM completed on each hole has confirmed the massive sulphides intersected were the conductors; modelling of the downhole data is ongoing.

  • Assay results from hole one have been received, with only low level anomalism identified associated with the sulphide intervals.

Mamba Exploration Limited (ACN 644 571 826) (‘ Mamba ’, ‘ M24 ’ or the ‘ Company ’) wishes to provide an update on the drilling at the second and third EM conductors tested with diamond drilling at the southern prospect at Black Hills (see Figure 1 & 2). Visual logging has been completed on the second and third holes (23BHD002 & 003) and has identified semi massive sulphide mineralisation within a broader zone of disseminated sulphide mineralisation in hole two, and multiple zones of heavily disseminated sulphide mineralisation including narrow zones of massive sulphides in hole three.

In hole 23BHD002, the sulphides have been intersected at the approximate depth of the modelled EM conductor at the BH1-West target within a highly altered and foliated mafic unit. In hole 23BHD003, the sulphides have been intersected near the modelled EM conductor at the BH1-north target within a zone of mafic and quartz feldspar gneiss (see Table One & Two for details and Appendix One for the summary geological logs). The sulphides are dominated by fine grained pyrrhotite (~80 to 90%) and pyrite (~10 to 20%), although some narrow veinlets of chalcopyrite have been identified within hole three.

The diamond core for the sulphide mineralisation in the second and third holes has been processed and sampled with the samples submitted to ALS Ltd. in Perth for analysis.

Cautionary Statement:

Visual estimates of sulphide mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where metal concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. In addition, visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding potential impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations of some mineral commodities such as graphite and many industrial minerals.

Managing Director, Mike Dunbar said,

“The second and third holes drilled to target surface EM conductors have both intersected zones of sulphide mineralisation dominated by pyrrhotite and pyrite. The second hole has also intersected a zone of semi-massive sulphide mineralisation within a broader zone of disseminated sulphides in a highly altered and foliated mafic unit. The third hole intersected four broad zones of heavily disseminated zones of sulphide mineralisation including narrow zones of massive sulphides within a highly foliated and altered gneiss. The massive and semi massive sulphides correspond well with the position of the modelled strong fixed loop EM conductors at each of the targets. Downhole surveys have been completed on all three holes, with initial analysis confirming that the massive, semi massive and net textured sulphides intersected in the holes are the conductors being targeted. Full modelling of the downhole EM data is ongoing.

The results for the first hole have confirmed that the main sulphides are pyrrhotite and pyrite, with only very low level anomalism identified from the initial sampling. Sampling of the second and third holes has been completed with the samples submitted to ALS for analysis.

With this programme completed, our attention now turns to the Hyden REE project where modelling of the recent gravity survey data is nearing completion and the results of the shallow aircore drilling are expected in the next few weeks”

Given the correlation between the sulphide mineralisation and the modelled position of the fixed loop surface EM conductors, it is clear the sulphide zones identified are the EM conductors being targeted. Downhole EM has been completed on each of the holes, and initial analysis of the downhole EM data has confirmed very strong “in-hole” conductors which correspond with the logged sulphide intersections. Detailed modelling is ongoing on the downhole EM data from each hole to assist in determining the orientation of the conductors and to determine if any other off hole conductors can be identified.

Results from the first hole (23BHD001) have been received and confirmed that low level anomalism in copper and nickel consistent with the location of the logged sulphides (see ASX announcement dated 1[st] February 2023 for full details). No significant intersections were identified from the sampling and it appears the sulphides that produced the EM response targeted by 23BHD001 are barren iron rich sulphides with no economic significance. The significance of the sulphides in the second and third hole is unknown at this stage, however given the visual sulphide assemblage and lithologies intersected are similar, the potential for the area is reduced.

JORC Code (2012) Table 1 – Black Hills 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.

Diamond drilling was undertaken using HQ core and NQ. Sampling of the visually
mineralized zones was undertaken using cut ¼ HQ core or ½ NQ core. The
samples submitted for analysis were nominally 3kg in weight. The results of
samples from hole 23BHD001 have been received. Samples from 23BHD002 &
003 have been submitted to ALS Ltd. for analysis with results expected to be
received in 4-6 weeks.

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

ALS use a number of certified reference materials for each of the assay methods
selected, additional information will be provided when assay results are received.

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

Visual estimates of sulphide abundance and sulphide type is reported within this
announcement. These visual estimates are based on observations from an
experienced qualified geologist and have been independently verified by a second
geologist.

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 have been used for these
samples. For the visual zones of sulphide mineralisation, logging by a suitably
qualified geologist from the full HQ or NQ core in core trays. The HQ core was cut
and ¼ sent for analysis the NQ core is being cut in ½ for analysis. The samples
varied in downhole length from 0.3m to 1.09m and was sampled to geological
boundaries.
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 HQ and NQ diamond drill core.
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.

Core recovery was generally very high.

Sample recovery was maximised by using diamond core drilling.

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

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.
costean, channel, etc) photography.

The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.
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 diamond core was cut and sampled and sent for analysis. The remainder of
the core has been retained for future analysis or metallurgical / geological test
work.
The sampling and sub sampling techniques are considered appropriate.
The core collected was consistently sampled from the same side of the core. This
is considered to be appropriate given the early exploration stage for the project.
Sample sizes are considered to be appropriate for the style of mineralisation being
sought.
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.


The ALS assay methods (ME-ICP61 and PGM-ICP23) that have been used are
appropriate and are considered to be a total digest.
Geophysical tools used (magnatometres and EM receivers) are calibrated prior to
use on site.
For this early stage of exploration, no certified reference materials have been
inserted into the sample batches, however lab standards and check assays are
used by ALS.
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.


Visual estimates reported in this release have been made by a senior geologist
and have been verified by an alternative company geologist
For this first pass drilling, geological logs and sampling has been recorded on
paper and then entered into the Company’s digital system. The data entry has
been validated by at least two company geologists.
No assay adjustments have been made.
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 heldH~~andheld GPS was used to peg the holes. Down hole surveys have
been collected on 30m intervals while drilling using a reflex multi shot gyro tool.
The grid system used was GDA (zone 50).
Topographic control is based on 5m DEM data from the WA Government dataset.
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.

Drilling is currently wide spaced and is not close enough to support a Mineral
Resource estimate.

No sample compositing has been undertaken on the samples. No compositing of
assay data has been undertaken.
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 geophysical anomalies perpendicular
to the anomaly.

The relationship between downhole intervals and true widths is unknown at this
stage.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample security.

Core were collected on site and transported to the company’s sample storage
facility in Perth, where the core was processing, and sampling was undertaken.
Mamba employees delivered the samples directly to ALS Ltd. for analysis.
Audits or
reviews

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

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

closest large regional centre. Access is granted from multiple directions via
sealed road.

The project is covered by the Yued (30) native title claim area.

by other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

Ground covered by E 70/5147 has been covered by exploration leases since
the 1960s. The two most meaningful work programs (in relation to the aims of
Mamba Exploration) were completed by Otter Exploration (1977) and CRA
Exploration (1995). See Section 3.5 of the Mamba Prospectus (dated 14
December 2020) for full details of previous exploration activities on the project.

Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

The western margin of the Archean Yilgarn Craton is highly prospective for
Platinum Group Elements (“PGE”) and Nickel (Ni) – Copper (Cu) mineralisation
associated with intrusive mafic to ultramafic rocks. The discovery of PGE-Ni-Cu
mineralisation on the Julimar Project held by Chalice Gold Mines Limited (see
Chalice Gold Mines ASX Announcement 23 March 2020) in 2020, is the first
significant PGE-Ni-Cu discovery in the region which previously only had early-
stage indications of mineralisation (Yarawindah, Bindi- Bindi). The PGE-Ni-Cu
mineralisation hosted by the ultramafic-mafic Gonneville intrusion on Chalice’s
Julimar Project, is considered to be the most important deposit of PGE’s in
Australia. Increasingly it is becoming apparent that the prospective ultramafic-
mafic intrusions are far more widespread than previously thought throughout
the western margin of the Yilgarn Craton. The project area is located within the
>3Ga age Western Gneiss Terrane of the Archean Yilgarn Block, which
comprises a strongly deformed belt of gneisses, schists, quartzites, Banded Iron
Formation, intruded by mafic to ultramafic rocks. The terrane is up to 70km wide,
and possibly wider, and is bounded to the west of the Darling Fault and younger
Archean rocks to the east. The general geological strike in northwest. The
bedrock Archean metasedimentary gneisses, migmatites and intrusive mafic
and ultramafic rocks occur in structurally complex settings. Dolerite dykes of
Proterozoic Age also occur. Outcrops are rare and the basement geology is
largely obscured bylateriticironstones and deep saproliticweathering.
Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.

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.

See Appendix one for full collar information and a summary geological log.

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. _

No assay aggregation has been undertaken on 23BHD001, only visual estimates
are reported in this release for 23BHD002 & 003.

No metal equivalents are reported.
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’).

Drilling has been designed to intersect the geophysical anomalies perpendicular
to the anomaly.

The relationship between downhole intervals and true widths is unknown at this
stage.
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.

All zones of visual sulphide mineralisation are included, intervals not included in
table one or table two in the body of the report do not contain significant visual
sulphide mineralisation based on the geological logging.
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 outlined in the body of the report, a downhole EM survey has been undertaken
on each hole with modelling of the data ongoing.
