ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

NICKEL AND COPPER MASSIVE SULPHIDES CONFIRMED AT MT VENN

Highlights

  • Massive sulphides intersected in multiple drill targets at the Mt Cumming Ni-Cu-PGE Sill Complex (Mt Venn Project) in WA with further assay results pending

  • Target EM#6 returned intersections of 2m at 0.24% Ni from 46 – 48m in MVRC063 and 11m at 0.42% Cu and 0.34% Ni from 41 – 52m in MVRC064, including:

  • 2m at 1.31% Cu from 42 – 44m and

  • 2m at 0.87% Ni from 47-49m

  • Target EM#7 returned intersections of 5m at 0.65% Cu and 0.31% Ni from 94 - 99m in MVRC065, including:

  • 1m at 1.68% Cu from 97 – 98m and

  • o 1m at 0.71% Ni and 0.51 g/t Pt + Pd from 94 - 95m

  • The drill results highlight the potential of the previously untested basal ultramafic as a compelling target that extends over 15km strike

Woomera Mining Limited (ASX:WML) ( Woomera or the Company ) is pleased to announce that nickel and copper sulphide mineralisation has been intersected in reverse circulation (RC) drilling at its 80% owned Mt Venn JV Project (WML 80% and CAZ 20%) in Western Australia.

The highly encouraging sulphide intersections are returned from Mt Cornell, located within the larger Mt Cumming Mafic Sill Complex.

Holes MVRC063 ( 2m at 0.24% Ni ) and MVRC064 ( 11m at 0.42% Cu & 0.24%Ni ) targeted electromagnetic (EM) anomaly number 6 (EM#6). The two intersections define a blanket of partially oxidised sulphide mineralisation over 50m width which remains open in all directions. Drill hole MVRC065 ( 5m at 0.65% Cu & 0.31% Ni ) targeted EM#7, located 500m northwest of EM#6 and intersected fresh massive sulphides at the base of the ultramafic sill. The fresh sulphide mineralisation with associated anomalous Pt + Pd assays remains open in all directions.

A summary of the semi-massive to massive sulphide intersections recorded in MVRC063, MVRC064 and MVRC065 is presented in Table 1. Assay results are awaited for the remainder of the drilling programme.

Importantly, these nickel and copper sulphide intersections are from the first reconnaissance drill holes into the base of the Mt Cornell Sill. Previous exploratory drill holes only targeted an upper gabbro-ultramafic contact without success. The new holes are considered highly encouraging, and justify further drill testing.

1

To put the scale of the exploration target into perspective the partially oxidised intersections in drill holes MVRC063 and 064 (Figure 1 and 2) are interpreted as a supergene blanket over a larger mineralised system. The two conductive plates (EM#6 and EM#7) are interpreted to lie along strike of each other, where the host ultramafic will join in an apparent open fold less than 200m below surface (Figure 3). Importantly, this apparent fold lies within a much larger exploration target where the stratigraphy is (locally) dipping towards the southwest.

From a regional perspective, the mineralised ultramafic horizon represents the previously undiscovered basal contact of the east-west trending (synformal fold) Mt Cornell Sill. The basal contact may extend over 15km strike as depicted in Figure 4 and remains open with depth. The Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation remains open in all directions.

The deeper fresh massive sulphide mineralisation intersected in MVRC065 supports this model which is consistent with the known geometry of the outcropping Mt Warren intrusive mafic sill, located west of Mt Cornell.

Next Steps

Heritage survey clearances will be sought to drill 40m east, west and 100m between the strike of the two mineralised conductors. These holes will confirm the geometry of the mineralised sill complex.

Downhole EM (DHTEM) surveys will also be deployed to assist with mapping the extent of the sulphide mineralisation and identify any conductors proximal to the drill holes.

EM#8 and 9 lie further east of EM#6 (Figures 1 & 4) and are priority drill targets that will be tested once EL38/3581 is granted.

The Company further intends to drill test EM#11-13 (Figure 4), that were abandoned because of poor access after heavy rainfall in November. These targets lie in a similar stratigraphic position to the Mt Cornell Sill intersections.

About the Mt Venn RC Drilling Programme

Eight RC holes were completed for an advance of 2,105m over the Three Bears Gold Prospect in October this year. Results remain pending.

At the Mt Cumming Ni-Cu-PGE Prospect, seven RC holes were drilled for an advance of 1,360m during November. Five EM conductors associated with historical anomalous shallow auger soils (up to 54 ppb Pt+Pd combined)[(1)] and copper plus gold rocks chips up to 3.2% Cu and 8.4 g/t Au[(2)] were drilled along with one EM conductor along strike from AusGold’s and Great Boulder’s Winchester semi-massive sulphide intersection (21m at 0.63% Cu & 0.2% Ni).[(3)] Laboratory assay results are awaited for the bulk of the holes. Only semi massive to massive sulphide intersections are reported here.

Woomera’s Managing Director Mr. Kevin Seymour commented:

This is an exciting development for Woomera and it vindicates the Company’s belief in the Mt Venn Project’s potential to deliver meaningful massive sulphide intersections within the larger Mt Cumming Mafic Sill Complex. We look forward to receiving the remainder of the assay results and continued exploration success at Mt Cornell, with drilling scheduled to recommence once all statutory approvals are in place in the new year.”

This ASX announcement has been approved and authorised for release by Woomera Mining’s Board of Directors.

this would be relatively simple
(eg ‘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

standard 1m intervals collected from
reverse circulation (RC) drill holes and/or
4m composites from reconnaissance
Aircore traverses. Surface and
underground Diamond holes may be
sampled along sub 1m geological contacts,
otherwise 1m intervals are the default.
• Drill hole locations were designed to allow
for spatial spread across the interpreted
mineralised zone. All RC samples are
collected, and cone split to 3-4kg samples
on 1m metre intervals. Aircore samples
are speared from piles on the ground and
are composited into 4m intervals before
despatching to the laboratory. Single
metre bottom of hole Aircore samples are
also collected for trace element
determinations. Diamond core is half cut
along downhole orientation lines. Half
core is sent to the laboratory for analysis
and the other half is retained for future
reference.
• Standard fire assaying is employed using a
50gm charge with an OES finish for all
diamond, RC and Aircore chip samples.
Trace element determination uses a multi

• All diamond core is jigsawed to ensure any
core loss, if present is fully accounted for.
Bulk RC and Aircore drill holes samples are
visually inspected by the supervising
geologist to ensure adequate clean sample
recoveries are achieved. Note Aircore
drilling while clean is not used in any
resource estimation work. Any wet,
contaminated or poor sample returns are
flagged and recorded in the database to
ensure no sampling bias is introduced.
• Zones of poor sample return both in RC
and Aircore are recorded in the database
and cross checked once assay results are
received from the laboratory to ensure no
misrepresentation of sampling intervals
has occurred. Zero sample recovery is
achieved while navi drilling. The navi
lengths are kept to a minimum and
avoided when close to potentially
mineralised units.

explain why this is the case.
• All drill holes reported by Woomera must
have the following parameters applied. All
drill holes completed, including holes with
no significant results (as defined in the
Attachments) are reported in this
announcement.
• Easting and northing are given in MGA94
coordinates as defined in the Attachments
for Mount Venn.
• RL is AHD
• Dip is the inclination of the hole from the
horizontal. Azimuth is reported in
magnetic degrees as the direction the hole
is drilled. MGA94 and magnetic degrees
vary by <10in the project area. All
reported azimuths are corrected for
magnetic declinations.
• Down hole length is the distance measured
along the drill hole trace. Intersection
length is the thickness of an anomalous
gold intersection measured along the drill
hole trace.
• Hole length is the distance from the
surface to the end of the hole measured
alongthe drill hole trace.

• No results are currently available from the
exploration drilling included in this report.
• Gold and PGE grade (when reported)
intersections will be reported >0.4 g/t Au
within 4m Aircore composites or >0.1 g/t
Au within single metre RC samples (with up
to 4m of internal dilution) are considered
significant in the broader mineralised host
rocks.
• Base metal grades will be reported
>1000ppm.
• Diamond core samples are generally cut
along geological contacts or up to 1m
maximum.
• Precious metal grades greater than 0.5 g/t
Au are highlighted where good continuity
of higher-grade mineralization is observed.
0.1 g/t Au cut-offs are used for
reconnaissance explorationprograms.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum
grade truncations (eg 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.
• The first precious metal or base metal
assay result received from each sample
reported by the laboratory is tabled in the
list of significant assays. Subsequent
repeat analyses when performed by the
laboratory are checked against the original
to ensure repeatability of the assay results.
• Weighted average techniques are applied
to determine the grade of the anomalous
interval when geological intervals less than
1m have been sampled.
• Exploration drilling results are generally
reported using a 0.5 g/t Au, or PGE and
1000ppm base metals lower cut-off for RC
and diamond or 0.1 g/t Au for Aircore
drilling (as described above and reported
in the Attachments) and may include up to
4m of internal dilution.
• All assay results are reported to 3
significant figures in line with the analytical
precision of the laboratory techniques
employed.
• No metal equivalent reporting is used or
applied.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
These relationships are
particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
• The intersection length is measured down
the length of the hole and is not usually
the true width. When sufficient

widths and
intercept
lengths
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 (eg
‘down hole length, true width
_not known’). _
knowledge on the thickness of the
intersection is known an estimate of the
true thickness is provided
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.
• Detailed drill hole sections and plans for
each prospect must be plotted and
interpreted as part of the internal QAQC
process. Field sections must be compared
with Micromine plots to ensure no errors
or omissions creep into the database.
• The field geologist will interpret/plot
his/her geology observations onto cross
sections while logging the hole in the field
before validating and transferring the
digital data to the Perth based DBA.
• Errors and/or discrepancies with
lithological logs must be rectified and
forwarded to Perth before the assay
results are received.
• Final cross sections displaying corrected
geology and assays are to be plotted and
interpreted. Depending on the target 3-D
wireframes may require construction too.
At the very least cross- sectional data must
be translated into plan view and the
relevant scaled (1:2,500 or 1:25,000)
geological interpretation be updated and
integrated in MapInfo. The project
geologist will draft any
changes/modifications required as
directed by the relevant principal geologist
/EM.
