ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
SIGNIFICANT INTERCEPTS ACROSS MULTIPLE MINING CENTRES - CALLION, MULLINE & RIVERINA
Highlights
-
Drilling continues to deliver consistently encouraging results from multiple mining centres at Davyhurst
-
Drilling ongoing at Riverina, soon to recommence at Callion
-
Significant new drilling results include:
-
Callion - 7.0m @ 10.68 g/t Au including 2.0m @ 28.98 g/t Au Riverina - 2.0m @ 9.78 g/t Au including 1.0m @ 17.6 g/t Au Mulline - 4.0m @ 10.90 g/t Au (4m composite – Victoria prospect); and 4m @ 3.18g/t (4m composite – Tietkins prospect)
Eastern Goldfields Limited (ASX:EGS) ( Eastern Goldfields or the Company ) is pleased to announce results from its Callion, Riverina and Mulline deposits within its Davyhurst Hub.
The Davyhurst Hub consists of a number of mining centres located with a 40 kilometre radius of the Davyhurst mill including Siberia, Davyhurst, Waihi, Callion, Mulline and Riverina. Recent reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling has focused on resource targets and prospects within the Callion, Riverina and Mulline mining centres. These deposits remain the subject of ongoing resource development work with the aim of providing mid to long term ore sources for the Davyhurst processing plant.

Drilling is currently continuing at Riverina and will recommence shortly at Callion. Further results will be released to market as they become available.
Executive Chairman Michael Fotios said:
“The Callion and Riverina deposits continue to impress, with our geological knowledge now growing at an exponential rate. We are planning additional drilling on both Callion and Riverina, with greater emphasis on extensional drilling rather than resource definition. Early drilling at Mulline (Victoria and Tietkins prospects) has returned very encouraging results and Mulline will become a site of intensive drilling activity in the coming months given the number of open pit oxide targets that exist in this mining centre.”
CALLION
RC drilling targeting the open pit potential of the deposit is ongoing and results have been received from some holes. Strong mineralisation was intersected in hole CNRC097 returning 7.0m @ 10.68g/t Au directly down dip of hole CNRC023 that returned 9.0m @ 13.08g/t Au . Significantly the result from CNRC097 is nearly 30m below the depth of preliminary pit optimisations target depth (Figures 2 & 3). This intersection does infer the “keel” position of the plunging shoot is somewhat deeper than previously thought.
1
Complementary work remains ongoing with a focused effort on gaining a detailed understanding of the Callion geology. This work has resulted in the planning of additional drilling designed to follow up on these and other significant results that could influence the extent of open pitable mineralisation at Callion. Two styles of mineralisation have been recognised at the deposit, one associated with quartz veining along the margins of felsic volcanic units and another associated with quartz veining in mafic basalts. Pit mapping has revealed potentially mineralised structures, not previously identified, and the revised drill program will also target these.
RIVERINA
Drilling is ongoing at Riverina (Figures 5 and 6) with the aim of providing an updated JORC Code 2012 compliant Resource and Reserve. Logging of the drilling completed to date, together with pit mapping is providing a greater geological understanding of alteration/mineralisation styles and host lithology. Greater definition around the actual lode geometry of the numerous mineralised surfaces contained within this deposit is also taking place. Of note is the pre-collar hanging-wall (to the main lode) intersection of RVCD16231, returning 2m @ 9.78g/t Au . The main lode was tested in the diamond tail with assay results now pending.
MULLINE
A number of drilling targets have been identified at the Mulline mining centre following an extensive review of historic exploration data and recent detailed geological mapping. Initial drilling at the Victoria and Tietkins targets have produced significant results that warrant further follow up.
Victoria Old Workings
The Victoria prospect is situated 1 kilometre immediately north and along strike of the Mulline Rose Deposit (Figure 5). The Victoria old workings have produced 2,500 ounces of gold at around 30g/t. Untested RAB and RC anomalism surround these old workings and indicate a similar geological setting to the Mulline Rose Deposit. The following significant results were received from 6 holes drilled at the deposit: Results from 1m split samples over anomalous regions are pending.
-
MERC335 with 4m @ 10.90 g/t Au from 92m ( 4m composite sampling)
-
MERC339 with 4m @ 1.22 g/t Au from 60m ( 4m composite sampling)
Tietkins Prospect
Regional mapping over the Mulline area identified a NE-SW trending fault to the south of the Giles pit where mineralisation cuts out (Figure 5). This fault is interpreted to offset Giles’ mineralisation 1 kilometre to the SW, in a region of significant historical rotary air blast (RAB) drill results. This prospect is known as Tietkins, to date the Company has drilled four RC holes in the north, and five holes in the south.
The following significant results were received:
-
GSRC201 with 4m @ 3.18g/t Au from 40m
-
GSRC199 with 4.0m @ 1.34g/t Au from 102m
Drilling encountered pyrrhotite rich altered basalt and mafic/granite contacts, consistent with the style of mineralisation at Giles pit which historically produced 1,143 KT @ 3.26 g/t for 119,600 ounces

Historically the deposit has produced in excess of 280,000 tonnes @ 10.2g/t Au for approximately 92,000 ounces. Callion was mined via both open pit and underground methods. In the past 2 years, significant time was spent on historical data compilation of open pit grade control drilling and underground mining records including mine survey, geological and structural mapping, gold assay sampling and Resource and Reserve estimate plans. All historical hard copy information is now digitally captured and spatially located. This data set provided the basis of establishing an Exploration Target of 350-450,000 tonnes @ 10-14g/t Au, as previously released ( See ASX release, 28 January 2016).
Callion Exploration Target – Additional Information
Basis for the Callion Exploration Target:
The Exploration Targets were calculated using historic data that was collated by Eastern Goldfields Limited. The data consisted principally of channel sample assays and ore thicknesses and RC and diamond drill intersections. Lubbock compiled these data into mine blocks with associated grades and tonnages. Historical survey, geology and assay records were used to create a 3-dimensional model of the underground workings. The channel samples were collected across the width of the drive and/or stope face, generally perpendicular to the strike of the structure that controls mineralisation. Sample and assay methods of underground channel samples is unknown. RC drill sample were collected at 1m intervals and diamond core was cut to geological intervals. Assay methods of drillhole samples was by aqua regia or fire assay using accredited laboratories. In total, there are 1608 stope samples, 947 face samples and 13 drill hole samples used within the area of calculated Exploration Target.
Techniques for Calculating the Grade and Tonnage Ranges for the Callion Exploration Target:
Hard copy survey and geology plans and long sections were digitised and registered in 3-dimensional space. A 3- dimensional model of the ore zones was constructed from the registered plans and drillhole data. Gold assay grades and widths were digitised from the plans. Due to the narrow and variable width of the orebody the estimation was based on an accumulation method. The accumulation variable (Gram Metres = Width*Au Grade) and the Width were estimated (Ordinary Kriging) into a block model. The grade was back-calculated by dividing the estimated Gram Metres by the estimated Width. A specific gravity of 2.7 t/m[3] for fresh rock was applied based on 22 core samples.
Planned Exploration work:
In the short term (2016\2017) Eastern Goldfields Limited has initiated a detailed drilling program to evaluate the geology, grade and width of the target. Drilling will target remnant pillars and areas below current mining depths. Samples will be submitted to accredited laboratories for gold assay with a full suite of QAQC samples (blanks, standards and field duplicates). If this drill program is deemed successful a geological and resource model will be produced. The resource model will be classified as inferred/indicated as deemed appropriate.

JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION – TABLE 1 REPORT TEMPLATE
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
Information for historical (Pre Eastern Goldfields Limited from 1996 and 2001) drilling and sampling has been extensively viewed and validated where possible. Information pertaining to historical QAQC procedures and data is incomplete but of a sufficient quality and detail to allow drilling and assay data to be used for resource estimations. Further, Eastern Goldfields Limited has undertaken extensive infill and confirmation drilling which confirm historical drill results. Sections 1 and 2 describe the work undertaken by Eastern Goldfields Limited and only refer to historical information where appropriate and/or available.

• | Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. | • | Drilling, sampling and assay procedures and methods as stated in the database and confirmed from Wamex reports and hard copy records are considered acceptable and to industry standards of the time. There is sufficient understanding of drilling, sampling and assay methodologies for the majority of drilling in the Callion, Riverina and Mulline areas. The company is confident that previous operators completed work to standards considered acceptable for the time. As part |
| of each resource upgrade, EGL will commit to additional drilling to confirm the style, widths and tenor of mineralisation | ||||
| at each deposit. | ||||
| Geology | • | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. | • | Callion- The Callion area is described by Wyche & Witt (1994), as an east-dipping sequence of tholeiitic basalt and dolerite intercalated with several BIF and shale units in the east. The westernmost, and presumably the lowermost (as |
| facing is indeterminate), rock type mapped in the area is a +700m thick sequence of sandstone, wacke, shale, chert and | ||||
| banded iron formation (herein termed BIF), interleaved with several sills of dolerite and gabbro (Figure 3). The chert and | ||||
| BIF units define a prominent range of hills, whereas the sandstone and shale units, together with the mafic sills are | ||||
| recessive features. The BIF units become more cherty and less magnetic towards the east. These rocks are overlain by a | ||||
| ~100m thick sequence of thinly bedded shale, siltstone and fine grained sandstone with thin interbeds of chert. Bedding | ||||
| in the BIF’s generally dips at 45º to the east, although it can range between 25º and 75º. The BIF’s and cherts become | ||||
| progressively higher metamorphic grade in a northward direction (i.e. along strike). Overlying the fine grained | ||||
| sediments is a 250-600m thick composite dolerite and gabbro sill that is thickest in the centre of the area and thinnest | ||||
| at the southern limit of the mapping. To aid description this sill is herein termed the Lady Mary Sill. East of the Lady | ||||
| Mary Sill is a ~1500m thick sequence of basalt that displays pillow structures, amygdules, and rare variolitic flows. | ||||
| Interflow sediments are absent from this thick pile of basalt. Intruded into the basalt is ~1000m of dolerite spread over | ||||
| two dozen discrete sills ranging from 20m to 200m thick. The intrusions are generally conformable with the Lady Mary | ||||
| Sill to the west, although the dolerite intrusions do strike N-S along the eastern side of the mapped area. The eastern | ||||
| boundary of the mapped area was arbitrary; however a strong shear zone is present on the eastern flank of the | ||||
| easternmost outcrop mapped and coincides with a distinctive linear high in magnetic data. Intruding the basalt and | ||||
| dolerite rocks east of the Lady Mary Sill in the northern half of the mapping is a +4km2 area of massive granitoid, | ||||
| described as a monzonite by Arnold (2001). This intrusion appears to be the source of a swarm of NNW to N-S striking, | ||||
| non-porphyritic felsic to intermediate dykes. In general these dykes are conformable with the dolerite intrusions; | ||||
| however at several old mines they clearly transgress the dolerites.The metamorphic grade of the Davyhurst area is | ||||
| described by Wyche & Witt (1994) as being low pressure and moderate to high temperature middle to upper | ||||
| amphibolite facies. The structural setting of the Glasson-Callion area is relatively simple. Strain is strongly heterogenous, | ||||
| being partitioned into very narrow shear zones, leaving the neighbouring country rock largely undeformed. The | ||||
| BIF/chert sequence dips on average 45º to the east, although some variation in dip and strike is noted, and bedding is | ||||
| folded about mesoscopic, asymmetric, parasitic drag folds with consistent S-vergence. The drag folds are reclined, | ||||
| having fold axes plunging at a similar orientation to the dip of the long limbs. | ||||
| • | Riverina- The geology of the Riverina area consists of a sequence of meta-basalts with minor meta-sediments and | |||
| meta-ultramafics that have a northerly strike and sub-vertical to steep east dip. The area has been affected by upper | ||||
| greenschist to lower amphibolite grade metamorphism with many minerals exhibiting strong preferred orientations. All | ||||
| rock units are foliated with shear zones common. The most intense shear zones have been locally referred to as | ||||
| mylonite zones. Contemporaneous strike faults and late stage faults have dislocated these mylonite zones. Intense | ||||
| mineralisation and alteration at the Riverina underground mine is confined to the mylonite zones and strike fault | ||||
| systems. Gold mineralisation is intimately associated with quartz veining and sulphides within a broader mylonite zone | ||||
| that also contains non-mineralised parallel quartz veins. Elsewhere mineralisation is found in favourable host rocks | ||||
| where intersected byN-S trendingstrike faults. Favourable hosts include meta sediments,mafics and mafic/ultramafic |
