ASX Announcement

31 May 2021

RC Drilling Identifies Wide Zone of Gold Mineralisation

OzAurum Resources Ltd ( ASX: OZM or OzAurum or the Company ) is pleased to announce further results from the Company’s initial 20,000 metre (m) Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling campaign, which have so far identified significant wide zones of gold mineralisation. The current RC results include 26 holes for 3,740m of drilling at the Mulgabbie North Project, situated North East of Kalgoorlie.

Highlights

  • Significant wide zones of gold mineralisation intersected, with mineralisation open along strike and at depth.

  • RC holes that intersected significant gold mineralisation, include:

  • 20m @ 1.91 g/t gold (Au) – (within 46m @ 1.04 g/t Au from 73m) MNORC 040

  • 9m @ 1.64 g/t Au – (within 52m @ 0.73 g/t Au from 102m) MNORC 041

  • 4m @ 1.90 g/t Au – (within 35m @ 1.1 g/t Au from 124m) MNORC 042

  • 6m @ 1.92 g/t Au – (from 35m) MNORC 045

  • 6m @ 2.79 g/t Au – (from 200m) MNORC 051

  • 4m @ 1.57 g/t Au – (from 153m) MNORC 055

  • 7m @ 1.48 g/t Au including 1m @ 7.36 g/t Au – (from 36m) MNORC 051

  • Numerous RC holes intersected higher grade gold mineralisation within wide, lower grade zones such as MNORC 041 with 52m of mineralisation intersected downhole.

  • New gold zone identified west of the Ben Prospect, with primary gold mineralisation intersected at depth and associated with previously drilled aircore (AC) hole MNOAC 020 (see ASX Announcement 15[th] March 2021).

  • Maiden drilling campaign to commence at OZM's 100%-owned Patricia Gold Project with the aim of discovering further high-grade gold mineralisation.

  • OzAurum director, Martin C Holland, appointed to an executive role as Head of Corporatecommencing 1 June 2021.

Mulgabbie North RC Drilling Results

The 26 holes that were drilled for 3,740m at the Mulgabbie North Project are a continuation of OzAurum’s initial 20,000m RC drilling campaign. A further 42 RC holes for 5,764m have also been drilled with assays still pending at the labs. To date, a total of 98 RC holes have been drilled at Mulgabbie North for 15,811m.

These excellent RC results, combined with recently announced aircore (AC) results defining new zones of mineralisation (see ASX announcement on 24 May 2021), further highlight the potential of Mulgabbie North to be a significant gold project.

Most notably, RC hole MNORC 040 intersected 20m @ 1.91 g/t Au from 25m within a wider zone of 46m @ 1.04 g/t Au. Numerous RC drill holes intersected higher grade gold mineralisation within wide lower grade intervals indicating Mulgabbie North is situated within a large mineralised gold system. Gold Mineralisation at Mulgabbie North is currently open at depth and along strike at both the Ben and James Prospects.

A new gold zone has been discovered south west of the Ben Prospect with MNORC 058 intersecting 19m @ 1.02 g/t from 112m depth. Our current interpretation is this deeper primary gold mineralisation is associated with previously intersected AC hole MNOAC 020 (see ASX release 15[th] March 2021).

A further 42 RC holes for 5,764m have been drilled testing Mulgabbie North’s previously discovered AC gold anomalies and the southern extension of the Ben Prospect. Some of these holes have intersected wide zones of quartz veining with associated pyrite and arsenopyrite mineralisation. At the Ben prospect a significant fault has also been intersected in 4 RC holes that has associated quartz veining and mineralisation. The Company is eagerly awaiting the results from these holes.

Wide zones of weak to moderate hematite alteration have been discovered in some RC holes at Mulgabbie North. Specifically, the hematite alteration indicates oxidised fluids from an intrusive complex suggesting proximity to the mineralising centre - likely to be within OzAurum’s 100% owned Mulgabbie North tenure.

The additional planned RC drilling at Mulgabbie North will further test strike and depth extensions of gold mineralisation at the James and Ben Prospects that are situated on the Relief Shear, as well as, western air core gold anomalies and associated mineralisation. Gold mineralisation at these prospects is hosted in the intermediate–felsic volcaniclastic units. The RC drilling program at Mulgabbie North will further scope out the extent of known mineralisation aimed at making a significant gold discovery.

Utilising best practice RC drilling, sampling and assay protocols will allow for a potential future JORC 2012 compliant resource to be estimated with confidence at Mulgabbie North. Systematic RC drilling is being undertaken on a 20m x 20m spacing and a limited number of historic + 33-year-old RC drill hole positions will be redrilled to meet JORC 2012 requirements.

Due to the current high demand on assay laboratories, the Company is experiencing long delays with receiving assay results, with up to an 8-week turnaround time.

Patricia RC Drilling to Commence

A maiden RC drilling program is planned at the Company’s advanced Patricia Gold Project, situated 40 km north east of Mulgabbie. The planned drilling program, which is expected to commence in the coming weeks, will target high-grade gold mineralisation. Historical high-grade gold intersections include PT 001 5m @ 18.8 g/t Au from 35m, including 1m @ 80 g/t Au. The 25m deep open pit at Patricia is 800m long and 150m wide.

Martin Holland to take on Head of Corporate Role

OzAurum Non-Executive Director and major shareholder, Martin C Holland, will be moving over to an Executive Director role as the Head of Corporate allowing the Managing Director and CEO, Andrew Pumphrey, to focus on the geological and technical aspects of exploration at the Mulgabbie and Patricia Gold Projects in Western Australia. A summary of the Consultancy Agreement setting out the terms of Mr Holland's engagement is as follows:

  • Commencement date: 1 June 2021

  • Term: No fixed term

  • Notice and termination: OzAurum may terminate the Consultancy Agreement at any time, by providing notice and paying the equivalent of three months of fees to Mr Holland. Mr Holland may terminate the agreement by providing three months’ prior written notice to OzAurum.

  • Monthly fee:

  • Other:

  • Mr Holland is entitled to receive a consultancy fee of $11,666.67 (excluding GST) per month.

The Consultancy Agreement otherwise contains standard terms and conditions for an agreement of this nature, including in relation to termination, confidentiality and retention of intellectual property.

OzAurum’s Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Pumphrey, said:

“The Company is very encouraged by the additional high-grade gold intercepts acheived through our RC drilling campaign thus far. These results, and the many results still pending in the assay labs, provide further confidence that ongoing RC drilling has the potential to unlock a significant gold project at Mulgabbie. In particular we are excited by the potential of this area where the host rocks are intermediate-felsic volcaniclastic units. In addition, the wide zones of Hematite alteration intersected in some deeper holes is very promising since this is a key signature of oxidised gold fluids, similar to that of Northern Star (ASX: NST) Carosue Dam Karari and Whirling Dervish Gold Mines. This area is under transported cover that has prevented previous effective exploration. ”

“Lastly, Martin’s executive appointment, as Head of Corporate, materially enhances OzAurum’s corporate marketing strategy, and allows me to be on the ground focusing on the Company’s strategic exploration program. We believe this aligned partnership enables the Company to fast track its objective of making a significant gold discovery,” Mr Pumphrey concluded.

In the coming months as drilling results become available the company will be providing the market with regular updates.

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

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.
The Mulgabbie North Deposit – Ben Prospect
26 RC holes (MNORC 039 - 064 3,740m),
azimuth 225° dipping -60°.
The RC samples are collected from the drill
rig cyclone in a green plastic bag in 1m
intervals and are laid out in rows of either 20,
30 or 40 samples. A 2-4kg representative
sample is split via the rig mounted cone
splitter and placed on top of the green plastic
for that metre interval.
Diamond drilling completed using one metre
sampling lengths, core half cut adjacent to
bottom of hole orientation line.
Aircore samples are laid out in rows of 10.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
All sampling is undertaken using OzAurum
Resources sampling procedures and QAQC
in line with industry best practise which
includes certified standards on average every
30 samples.
The RC drill rig provides a sample at the end
of each metre of drilling. A 2-4 kg sample is
collected from the drill rig via a cone splitter
which is representative of that metre.
PQ diamond core was half cut to produce a
2-4 kg sample for analysis.

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
Historic hole collars have been recovered
where possible and surveyed by a licenced
surveyor using a DGPS (0.01 m).
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.
The RC one metre sample intervals were
collected with a 2-4 kg representative sample
despatched to the laboratory for gold
analysis.
The diamond half core sample intervals were
typically a 2-4 kg representative sample
despatched to the laboratory for gold
analysis.
The AC composite and one metre sample
intervals were collected with a 2-4 kg
representative sample despatched to the
laboratory for gold analysis.
All analysis was by 50g fire assay with AAS
finish with the exception of cases where
visible gold has been observed or a fire assay
grade has exceeded 100 g/t or coarse gold is
suspected then a screen fire assay (Au-
SCR22AA) has been undertaken on those
samples and those results reported instead of
the fire assay result.

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-

this program, greater than 80% of samples
had a recovery of 70% or higher. Sample
weights reported by laboratory can also give
an indication of recoveries.
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
Drillers experience is important. Steady
drilling, using modern well maintained drilling
equipment, regular cleaning of cyclone and
splitter, pausing the drilling at each metre to
allow sample to pass through drill string and
reducing sample loss. Using a RC rig
equipped
with
auxiliary
and
booster
compressors is critical to maintaining good
RC sample recovery.
Using professional and competent core
drilling contractor minimises issues with
sample recoveries through the use of
appropriate drilling equipment techniques
and drilling fluids suited to the particular
ground conditions.
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.
RC sample recoveries from the mineralised
zones are generally high although some of
the weathered material is lost in drilling (dust)
and some natural voids do exist. No sample
was lost from 2-4 kg split from cyclone that
was submitted for analysis, some loss of
sample occurred from large green bags and
some bias may have occurred to that sample
as water was flowing from sample bag – this
sample has not been analysed and therefore
will not affect results reported in this release.
The core sample recovery in the transitional
and fresh rock zones is very high and no
significant bias is expected. Recoveries in
oxidised rock were lower.
AC sample recoveries from the are generally
high although some of the weathered
material is lost in drilling (dust).
Although no exhaustive studies have been
undertaken, no significant bias is expected,
and any potential bias is not considered
material
at
this
stage
of
resource
development.
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.
Each RC metre drilled underwent detailed
logging through the entire hole with record
kept of colour, lithology, degree of oxidation,
and type and intensity of alteration veining
and sulphide content.

Each AC hole drilled underwent general
logging through the entire hole with record
kept of colour, lithology, degree of oxidation,
and type and intensity of alteration veining
and sulphide content.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,

All logging is qualitative in nature and
included records of lithology, oxidation state
and colour with estimates of intensity of
mineralisation, alteration and veining.
Wet and dry photographs were completed on

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
All drill holes were geologically logged in full

Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core taken.
Core was half cut with a diamond saw with
the same half always sampled and the other
half retained in core trays.
In some instances, oxidised and non-
competent clay zones are carefully split in
half using sampling wedge and sampled as
half core.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.
All RC sub-samples are collected via a cone
splitter system mounted on the drill rig. An
estimated 30% of samples were moist to wet
in nature that passed through the cyclone –
splitter system.
For all sample types, the nature, quality
and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.
All samples were analysed via a 50 gram fire
assay. Following that analysis in cases where
visible gold has been observed or a fire assay
grade has exceeded 100 g/t or coarse gold is
suspected then a screen fire assay (Au-
SCR22AA) has been undertaken on those
samples and those results reported instead of
the fire assay result.
Sample preparation and analysis were
completed by ALS in Kalgoorlie. When
received, samples are processed by code
PREP-31 - logged in tracking system and bar
code attached, wet samples dried through
ovens, fine crushing to better than 70%

representivity of samples. The RC drill rig mounted cone splitter is
adjusted to ensure that the 1m split sample
weighs on average between 2-4kg. The cone
splitter is cleaned using an air nozzle after
every drill rod – 6m.
OzAurum Resources sampling procedures
and QAQC is used 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.
For drill core, the entire core is sampled at
one metre intervals to ensure that samples
are representative of the entire in-situ rock
being tested. The laboratory ensures that the
entire sample submitted is crushed and split
appropriately to provide a representative sub-
sample.
No duplicate samples are taken from the core
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to
the grain size of the material being
sampled.
The sample sizes (0.5 kg to 4 kg) are
considered appropriate for the style of
mineralisation at Mulgabbie North.
Half cut PQ diamond core samples over 1m
length (normally at the end of hole) were up
to 4kg.
Quality of assay

The nature, quality and appropriateness
of the assaying and laboratory
procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.
The nature, quality and appropriateness of
the assaying and laboratory procedures are
industry standard for Archaean mesothermal
lode gold deposits. The fire assay technique
will result in a total assay result. In cases
where visible gold has been observed or a
fire assay grade has exceeded 100 g/t or
coarse gold is suspected then a screen fire

the lines.
Whether the data spacing, and
distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.
The data spacing and distribution is sufficient
to demonstrate spatial and grade continuity of
the mineralised domains to support the
current MRE classifications as Measured,
Indicated and Inferred according to JORC
(2012 Edition) reporting criteria.
Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
No sample compositing has been applied in
the field within the mineralised zones.
Orientation of
data in relation to
geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.
Diamond drill holes and RC holes were
orientated 225°/-60° which is perpendicular
to the shear zone hosting gold mineralisation
and perpendicular to geology contacts.
If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.
It is not believed that drilling orientation has
introduced a sampling bias as the dominant
mineralised shear zone at Mulgabbie North
hosting mineralisation strikes at 315° and
dips 70°NE.

Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are
usually Material and should be
stated.
All one metre diamond drill results are
reported in Appendix 1 Section 2 of JORC
table 1. Holes include up to 2m of internal
dilution - host unit was intersected in the
2m diluted section with significant
alteration. A bottom cut-off grade of 0.1 g/t
was used, and no top cut grade was
applied.
The procedure applied to the aggregate
intercepts quoted is length weighted
average (sum product of interval x
corresponding interval assay grade),
divided by sum of interval lengths and
rounded by one decimal place.
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

in detail. No metal equivalent values have been
reported.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
These drill holes are designed to drill
perpendicular to the Relief Shear that
strikes at 315°.
The dominant mineralisation geometries
seen at the Mulgabbie North gold project
are;
1. Shear zone hosted mineralisation on
the lithological contact which strikes
315˚ and is moderately dipping to the
east at -75°.
The true width of mineralisation at the
Mulgabbie North is reasonably well known
from existing drilling and all drilling is
designed to intersect the Relief Shear
mineralised envelope at 90° or
perpendicular to the strike of the Relief
Shear. The -60° planned dip of all drill
holes results in the true width being 70%
of the downhole intersection. For
example, a downhole intersection of 10m
has a true width of 7m.
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’).
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.

all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative reporting
of both low and high grades and/or
widths should be practiced to avoid
misleading reporting of Exploration
