EMPRESS SPRINGS, QLD

  • Positive results from 24 RC drill holes to test 2.2km NW trend along track near gold discovery hole ESA0023 at Arrowhead prospect

  • Drilling significantly extended Arrowhead gold discovery zone vertically and laterally:

  • ESMH0001: 22m @ 1.0g/t Au from 46-68m (0.2g/t Au cut-off grade (COG))

  • Including 12m @ 1.4g/t Au from 46-60m (0.5g/t Au COG)

  • ESMH0024: 24m @ 0.7g/t Au from 46-70m (0.2g/t Au COG)

  • Strong coincidence between Au mineralisation and Pb-Zn-Cu+/-Ag anomalism within altered granite at Arrowhead prospect

  • 60% out of 15 drill holes with assay results received to date intersected anomalous base metal mineralisation (Cu+Pb+Zn >1,000 ppm)

  • Highly anomalous zone of base metal sulphides and pathfinder elements identified near rim of caldera ~1.3km NW of Arrowhead discovery zone, with a different Zn-S-Cu-Cd-Sn association - “may represent a halo to gold mineralisation in a zoned hydrothermal system” (Dr Brauhart, CSA Global)

SILVER SWAN NORTH NICKEL EXPLORATION, WA

  • RC drilling of defined conductive SQUID EM targets has identified sources as black shale units with no nickel mineralisation

  • Anomalous Ag and Zn mineralisation intersected in two holes

During the quarter Moho Resources Ltd (ASX:MOH) (Moho or Company) completed RC drill program at the Empress Springs project, 50km south of Croydon in Central North Qld (Figure 1). The 24 hole RC drill program, which was restricted to existing tracks, was focused on extending the recently discovered gold mineralisation around reconnaissance hole ESA023 at the Arrowhead prospect.

==> picture [612 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

The Empress Springs Project is located 25 km to the south of the town of Croydon and comprises three adjacent exploration permits (EPM25208, EPM25209 and EPM25210), with a total area of 773 km² (Figure 1). The Croydon Goldfield, which extends from north of the town, contained over 300 gold occurrences with historical production estimated at 1.2Moz of Au.

DRILLING ADJACENT TO ESA023, DISCOVERY HOLE ARROWHEAD PROSPECT

Moho has received assay results for fifteen RC holes drilled on the existing tracks on which discovery hole ESA023 (Table 1). ESA023 was drilled in November 2018. The discovery, was a vertical reconnaissance hole which assayed at 9m @ 1.3g/t Au from 45m-54m[1] . The hole ended in significant Au and base metal mineralisation (1m @ 1.7g/t Au, 1.0 g/t Ag, 0.15% Pb, 0.25% Zn) in intensely altered and silicified granite. Latest RC drilling was aimed to determine the extent of mineralisation laterally and vertically around hole ESA023.

During the RC drilling program, Moho trialed and successfully used an onsite geo-analytical processing and pXRF system to determine indicative levels of base metal and pathfinder elements in drill samples within 24 hours of holes being drilled. Moho geologists were able to use the Zn, Cd, Pb and Cu readings in a timely manner to direct the rig to areas of greatest potential.

SIGNIFICANT GOLD INTERSECTIONS

Significant assay results received to date from the RC drilling at Arrowhead are shown in Table 2 and Table 3 below. Some assays were pending at the time and will be reported when the AC results are released.

RC drilling has successfully extended Au and base metal mineralisation at the Arrowhead prospect around discovery hole ESA023, both laterally and at depth (Figure 3). The Au mineralisation is situated in a broader zone of Cu, Pb and Zn sulphide mineralisation and occurs within a sequence of highly-altered granite, crosscut by numerous dolerite dykes (Figure 4).

SIGNIFICANT BASE METAL ANOMALISM

The gold and base metal/pathfinder element geochemistry has been reviewed by Dr Carl Brauhart of CSA Global, with the major findings as follows:

  • The Au-Pb-Ag-(Cu-Zn-Cd-S-As) association is well developed in adjacent holes ESMH001 - ESMH0024 & ESA023

  • A different Zn-S-Cu-Cd-Sn association is developed in ESMH0018 & ESMH0022, and in a third hole inbetween those two holes. This base metal association without Au and Pb lies about 1.3 km northwest of hole ESA023

  • This associated mineralisation may represent a halo to gold mineralisation in a zoned hydrothermal system

Moho notes that the Zn-S-Cu-Cd-Sn mineralisation in ESMH0018 & ESMH0022 is situated close to the inferred rim of a buried caldera (Hronsky 2019).

Additional drilling in the heritage cleared area near the caldera was planned as part of the Aircore program to follow (which has now been completed) to determine the nature and extent of this base metal/pathfinder anomalism and any gold mineralisation. Assays from the aircore program are pending.

HERITAGE CLEARANCE FOR ARROWHEAD PROSPECT

A heritage survey of the area surrounding discovery hole ESA023 (Figure 5) was undertaken by representatives of the Tagalaka People (the traditional people of the area) and their consultant during May. Following notification that the heritage survey was approved, Moho commenced the follow-up aircore drilling program within the heritage cleared areas in late June.

==> picture [612 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

Subsequent Steps at Empress Springs:

  • 6,123m aircore drill program completed at Arrowhead to:

  • determine extent and orientation of mineralisation within heritage-cleared area near ESMH0001

  • & ESMH0024 at Arrowhead prospect, and ESMH0018 with anomalous base metals

  • explore for additional zones of mineralisation along existing tracks across the Project area by testing favourable geophysical targets and structures

  • First results from AC program expected in late July – mid August.

  • Engagement of renowned consultants to review geochemical data.

SILVER SWAN NORTH NICKEL EXPLORATION

During the quarter the Company released the results of its maiden nickel sulphide drilling program at the Silver Swan North project, 50 km NE of Kalgoorlie (Figure 6).

The RC program was designed to test electromagnetic (EM) conductors for potential nickel sulphide mineralisation, recently identified using high sensitivity SQUID technology.

PHASE 1 - RESULTS OF MAIDEN RC DRILL PROGRAM FOR NICKEL SULPHIDES

Five RC holes totalling 878 metres had been drilled at the Silver Swan North project from 7-15 March 2019. Hole locations are shown in Figure 7 and hole collars are tabulated in Table 1 below. Anomalous assay results of four metre composite samples were received from the laboratory (Table 6) and results of down-hole EM (DHEM) surveys undertaken on two holes were reviewed by Moho’s geophysical consultant.

Hole locations are shown in Figures 9 and 10 and hole collars are tabulated in Table 1 below.

Moho notes that, while the RC drilling did not intersect any anomalous nickel mineralisation, the maiden drill program has provided valuable information about the geology and for other potential mineralisation that may be present in the underlying rocks.

Anomalous Ag and Zn mineralisation was intersected in holes SSMH0003 and SSMH0004 (Table 6). In addition, the same interval in hole SSMH0003 (160-188m) also contained elevated levels of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Sn. The anomalous mineralisation intersected in hole SSMH0003 is hosted in a massive black shale unit sandwiched within a larger sequence of felsic volcanic tuffs. The significance of this mineralisation is unclear however Moho notes that in this geological setting it is more akin to VMS-style occurrences in the Eastern Goldfields.

Down-hole EM surveying (DHEM) was completed on holes SSMH0004 and SSMH0005. The survey log of SSMH0004 showed the hole intersected the EM target that was defined by black shale in basalt rather than nickel sulphides. SSMH0005 log has a very weak off hole response at the target depth where there was quartz-carbonate veining and shearing in a basalt. These anomalies do not warrant further follow up work.

DHEM surveys were not possible in the other holes. Hole SSMH0002 had collapsed after the drill rods were extracted and SSMH0003 was blocked at 25m depth.

Magnetic gravels down to 16m depth were observed within the alluvial cover of holes SSMH0002 and SSMH0003, with magnetic susceptibility readings up to 30 x 10[-3] SI units. The presence of maghemite-rich gravels and deep cover masks the underlying bedrock geology and in part explains why the high resolution magnetics over this part of the Silver Swan North project are diffuse.

NICKEL SULPHIDE MINERALISATION RESPONSES TO EM SURVEYS

Like most other nickel sulphide explorers in the Eastern Goldfields, Moho’s initial exploration effort at the Silver Swan North project has focussed on searching for massive nickel sulphide mineralisation like the small but high grade Silver Swan nickel deposits. To date, Moho has utilised high sensitivity SQUID EM technology to aid in the detection of confined conductor responses that can be modelled with a plate, as is typically done for massive nickel sulphides.

==> picture [612 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [127 x 281] intentionally omitted <==

The Company understands that unlike the Silver Swan nickel deposits the Black Swan deposit that contains disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation; including a blebby style nickel sulphide phase as shown in Plate 1; is generally less responsive to EM surveying.

Moho and other explorers of the Silver Swan North project area have generally not searched for Black Swan style mineralisation, which is more likely to produce a diffuse EM response and is not an easy target to geophysically model.

The Company has prioritised a review of all historical EM data within the Silver Swan North project area to identify responses that could come from Black Swan style of mineralisation.

CSIRO COLLABORATIVE GEOCHEMICAL “FINGER PRINTING” STUDY

Researchers from CSIRO mobilised to Kalgoorlie at the beginning of April to undertake the first phase of geochemical “finger printing” research work. This work involved analysing historical drill core drilled in Moho tenements M27/263 and E27/528 and also core from the project area stored in GSWA’s Joe Lord core library. The purpose of this work is to identify ultramafic stratigraphic units within the project area that have a higher probability of hosting potential nickel sulphide mineralisation.

NEW TENEMENT APPLICATIONS BY MOHO ADJOIN BLACK SWAN NICKEL OPERATIONS

Moho continues to actively monitor and acquire open ground prospective for nickel sulphide mineralisation in the vicinity of the Silver Swan North project. Since March 2018, Moho has increased by 30% its contiguous (granted and applied for) tenure at the Silver Swan North project from 59.6 km[2] to 85.4 km[2] .

In April 2019, Moho applied for ELA27/620 and PLA27/2418 covering 10.3 km[2] adjoining the southern boundary of Poseidon Nickel’s Black Swan Nickel Operations (Figure 9)

Figure 9: Moho tenure at Silver Swan North project

Subsequent Steps:

  • Phase 2 - Refine and drill test geological model at potential embayment in vicinity of gravity low south of SSE2 prospect (Figure 8, 2.2km NNW of Silver Swan deposit) – Q3 2019.

  • Follow up on geochemical “fingerprinting” research project with CSIRO of ultramafic units located in recent and historical drill holes to distinguish and map stratigraphy considered to be prospective for nickel sulphide mineralization.

  • Phase 3 - Commence major geochemical and stratigraphic aircore drill program across northern area of E27/528 to identify suitable host rocks for nickel sulphide mineralisation under cover using $150,000 WA government co-sponsored drilling grant.

BURRACOPPIN GOLD EXPLORATION

Moho reported in its prospectus a number of exploration targets at its Burracoppin Project (Figure 10). Targets 2 to 4, located within the Tampia Structural Corridor of the Southwestern Terrane, were derived from ground-based gravity measurements. Target 5 was also derived from ground-based gravity measurements but occurs within the Westonia Structural Corridor of the Southern Cross Domain of the Youanmi Terrane which also hosts Ramelius’ Edna May mine.

Figure 10: Location of Burracoppin Gold Project

During the Quarter the company negotiated an extension of 12 months on it’s Farm-in and joint venture agreement with IGO on the Burracoppin project to give the company adequate time to complete the work on the ground was slightly delayed due to finalising the Land Access Agreements (LAA) with land owners and occupiers in the area and registering them with DMIRS. Once the LAA was finalised the Program of Works was lodged for a shallow auger drilling program to test key exploration targets with coincident gravity and gold in soil anomalies.

Subsequent Steps:

  • Undertake Shallow auger drilling over exploration targets
