NORTHERN PILBARA TENEMENTS ACQUIRED AND POSITIVE RESULTS FROM FIRST PHASE DRILLING

HIGHLIGHTS

  • NAE acquires northern Pilbara tenements from Monterey following a review of the results received from the Phase 1 aircore reconnaissance drilling and ongoing interpretation of detailed aeromagnetic data

  • The drilling encountered previously unrecognised mafic-ultramafic lithologies with low level anomalous Gold and Base Metal results being reported from bottom of hole samples across several holes

  • The programme comprised 37 holes for a total of ~1159m as a first pass litho-geochemical assessment of the 12 high priority “Hemi-style” targets identified from detailed aeromagnetic data over the northern part of the project tenements

  • Due to the limitation of the AC drill rig used, the majority of the modelled “Hemi Style” magnetic targets remain untested

  • Assessment of geophysical data and multi-element geochemistry is now underway to further refine targets in advance of follow-up drilling for intrusion related “Hemi style” and shear zone hosted gold mineralisation and “Whim Creek style” VHMS base metal mineralisation

  • The remaining 2 tenements E47/4408 and E47/4450 within the Quartz Hill Project have now been granted

  • NAE’s 100% owned and granted Pilbara Projects now totals 2400km[2]

New Age Exploration Limited (ASX:NAE) ( NAE or the Company ) is pleased to advise it has elected to proceed with the acquisition of the Pilbara tenements from Monterey Minerals Inc (CSE:MREY) ( Monterey ) on revised terms outlined below. The acquisition follows an initial review of the results from the first phase of drilling recently completed on the tenements. The drill programme comprised 37 shallow air core holes for ~1159m on the high priority targets within the northern package of Pilbara Gold projects including E47/5064, E47/5065 and E47/3958. The tenure is located North of, and within ~50km of De Grey Mining’s (ASX:DEG) Hemi gold discovery containing 6.87Moz of gold in the highly prospective Central Pilbara Gold district, Western Australia.

New Age Exploration Executive Director, Joshua Wellisch, commented:

“We are extremely encouraged by the initial drill results received on this reconnaissance drilling programme. Drilling under thick transported cover and exposing previously unrecognised maficultramafic rocks with anomalous Gold and Base Metals is an excellent start.

Our substantial landholding in the Pilbara is now all 100% owned and granted which will underpin an exciting pipeline of exploration opportunity. Further assay results are still pending from recent soil and stream sediment geochemical surveys on the southern tenements which we also look forward to reviewing in preparation for the next drilling programme to follow in 2021.”

As previously announced, a detailed aeromagnetic survey was completed over the entire project area and a preliminary assessment of the data was undertaken by Core Geophysics.

The results indicated that the tenements consist primarily of granitic intrusive basement rocks beneath recent alluvial cover, with windows of Mallina Basin, De Grey Group rocks interpreted to occur in the E47/3958 E47/5064 and E47/5065 tenements. Several discrete, circular magnetic anomalies with characteristics similar to the intrusions which host the Hemi Deposits have been defined within the surveys which warrant drill testing (Figure 2). The shallower, more discrete anomalies represent the high priority Phase 1 drill targets.

Profile modelling completed over several discrete intrusion style anomalies suggest depths of magnetic bodies from 10m to 150m (mostly < 75m), with some larger magnetic anomalies having depths of 350m. The recommendation was that the high priority anomalies be tested by shallow aircore drilling. The survey results also delineated major structures within the granite bodies which may have some prospectivity to host gold and base metals mineralisation.

The Phase 1 drilling program was planned to comprise 40 holes for a total of 2,800m. However, due to limited depth capability of the rig which was available at the time only half of the planned metres of the program were completed during this campaign. Follow up drilling with a more powerful Reverse Circulation rig is now being planned for later this year.

Importantly, whilst most of the modelled magnetic targets remain untested several of the holes encountered previously unrecognised mafic-ultramafic rocks and low-level gold and base metal geochemical anomalism in bottom of hole samples. Mafic and ultramafic rocks such as these are a key feature of the geological setting at Hemi and their identification in first pass regional scale scout drilling within NAE’s tenure is considered highly encouraging.

Indicative results:

  • NACO37: 2m @ 419 ppb Au from 37m depth

  • inc 1m @ 769ppb Au

  • NACO21: 2m @ 1250ppm Zn, 0.61ppm Ag, 119ppm Pb from 10m depth

  • inc 1m @ 1400ppm Zn, 0.55ppm Ag, 115ppm Pb

Detailed assessment of all available geophysical data and of the recently acquired multi-element geochemical results is in progress to identify new targets and further refine our existing targets. The results from this work will guide the next phase of exploratory drilling which is planned to commence during Q3 2021 subject to availability of a suitable drill rig.

In addition, the company has received confirmation the remaining 2 tenements E47/4408 and E47/4450 have been granted. This with the completion of the Northern Pilbara acquisition bring NAE’s 100% owned and granted landholding to 2400km[2] .

Monterey Acquisition

Under the Option and Asset Sale Agreement dated 28 September 2020 between NAE, Monterey and their subsidiaries (as previously announced), NAE had the right to acquire 100% ownership of the Tenements from Monterey. Completion of this acquisition has now occurred with the following consideration being paid by NAE:

  • (a) upfront consideration of 7.5 million shares in NAE; and

  • (b) deferred consideration consisting of 30 million NAE shares issuable to Monterey upon NAE delineating a 250koz gold indicated JORC resource on the Tenements and a further 30 million shares upon NAE delineating a 500koz gold indicated JORC resource on the Tenements.

JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION- TABLE 1

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.

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 (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.
_-_Fixed wing airborne magnetic and radiometric survey
using Cessna 210 aircraft
- Magnetometer comprised a Geometrics G856AX
with resolution on 0.001nT. Compensation completed
post flight. Data sample rate 20Hz.
- Spectrometer comprised Radiation Solutions RS500
with 33Ltr crystal. Data sample rate 0.5s
-This type of survey identifies minerals of varying
magnetic intensity which are often associated with a
larger mineralized system. Further ground truthing is
necessary to confirm the presence of a mineralized
system. At this stage, no geophysical features defined
by this survey have been sampled.
Samples were drilled by standard Air Core techniques
with a blade to refusal. A hammer was sometimes
utilized to get a better bottom-of-hole sample.
Sample material was flushed through a cyclone to
sample collection point. Samples were taken as
composites at 4m, 3m and 2m lengths with 1m bottom
samples always being taken at end of hole for
lithological, geochemical footprint and pathfinder
purposes. Samples were collected in a plastic bucket
and laid on ground in discrete piles at 1-meter
intervals with representative proportions sampled
using a PVC trowel. All samples were geologically
logged on-site at the rig and collected in calico bags
for sample submission.
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 carried out using conventional Air Core
drilling techniques. The drill bit was a blade/or
hammer with sample material flushing through a
cyclone to collection point. All holes were drilled to
blade refusal or beyond with a hammer, every effort
being made to get a representative sample of
weathered or fresh bedrock. All holes were drilled
vertical (at -90 degrees) as there was little geological
information
available
as
regards
dip/strike
of
underlying bedrock.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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 good to excellent except in the
case of holes that encountered water. When water
flows were considered excessive or compromising the
sample quality the holes were stopped. Pending a
review and interpretation of results these sites may be
drilled again and anomalies followed-up with a more
suitable rig and technique such as a Reverse
Circulation drill rig.
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 samples were logged on-site at the rig with the
following parameters being logged: Hole number,
sample intervals and hole depth, water table, regolith
type, weathering, colour, grain size, lithology and end
of hole sample comments. These holes were
exploration holes and not part of a resource
orientated
program.
The
chip
trays
were
photographed for data purposes.
Sub-
sampling
techniques
and sample
preparatio
n

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.
On emerging from the cyclone 1m samples were
collected in a plastic bucket and placed in series in
discrete piles on the ground.
Standards were inserted in the sample stream as were
blanks and duplicates.
The maximum composite interval was 4 meters, but
sample intervals varied from 4m to 1m in line with

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

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
Drill hole data was checked by independent
consultants (Newexco Exploration Pty Ltd) and New
Age Company personnel. No significant ore-grade
intersections were reported as the program is for
reconnaissance purposes only and not a resource
drill-out.
No twinned holes were done or deemed necessary at
this stage. Drill logs were recorded on paper in the
field and then transferred to a spreadsheet with
picklists for validation.
All data was checked and validated by in-house
competent personnel.

The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
All holes were sampled and bagged at the drill site.
These were held at the Munda Station under the
control of geologists and field assistants. All samples
were shipped from Port Hedland in sealed bulka bags.
Samples were checked and validated in Perth before
being shipped by courier in sealed polyweave bags to
ALS laboratories in Malaga.

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 data aggregation was carried out and no
truncation or top cuts of results were employed.
All reported intersections are length weighted
only.
Relationshi

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’). _
The geometry of any mineralized bodies is not
known at this stage. The holes were drilled at -90
degrees as an initial test and to obtain
geochemical and geological data down to the
bedrock interface.
