ARDEN PROJECT

HIGHLIGHTS

The Arden project has the potential to host large-scale zinc, lead, copper and cobalt stratiform sedimentary exhalative (SEDEX) deposits

  • Spectacular results from reconnaissance rock-chip sampling confirmed SEDEX mineralisation at Arden’s three primary targets:

  • Ragless Range – 6.97% Zn

  • Kanyaka – 12.4% Cu, 2.4% Zn and 0.5% Co

  • Radford Creek – 3.9% Pb and 1.7% Zn

  • Large 710km[2] Exploration Licence (EL) already granted with several key mineralised targets already identified within the tenure

  • Multiple assays of between 5-7% Zn & 0.1% Co in trenches at the Ragless Range Target: total prospective strike length > 10km

  • The Arden Project is supported by excellent infrastructure including rail, sealed roads, grid power and proximity to port and smelter

ARDEN PROJECT

OVERVIEW

  • Located in the Adelaide Geosyncline, a major rift complex that formed during the break-up of the supercontinent Rodinia

  • Project area contains significant areas of Cambrian-aged sedimentary units, which are the host units of ALL known Sedex-style

Targeting 2 styles of mineralisation:

  • Sedex – typically high-grade, uniform

    • Confirmed through the success of recent rock-chip sampling
  • Structurally controlled – remobilised

  • mineralisation in this world-class base metals region

BONAVENTURA PROJECT

HIGHLIGHTS

The Bonaventura Project covers highly prospective geology and historic mines along 30km of strike of the regional-scale Cygnet-Snelling Fault

  • Previous drilling at Bonaventura hit high-grade zinc intersections, including:

  • 16m @ 3.4% Zn and 0.7% Pb from 52m (including 6m @ 6.3% Zn)

  • 11m @ 3.1% Zn and 1.5% Pb from 26m (including 1m @ 8.0% Zn)

  • Samples from the historic Kohinoor gold mine returned grades up to 28 g/t Au

  • The Bonaventura Project has several high-grade zinc (base-metal) and gold targets that are drillready

INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS

OVERVIEW

  • Auroch has secured a dominant ground position in unexplored lithium rich province in Namibia

  • Auroch holds interests/options over the Alcoutim Project in Portugal

  • Auroch’s strategy is to slowly exit from these non-core assets to focus on the South Australian projects
