New Cross Fault: RC Drilling Confirms Significant High-Grade Gold

OzAurum Resources Ltd ( ASX: OZM or OzAurum or the Company ) is excited to report additional significant results from its reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the new Cross Fault gold discovery at its Mulgabbie North Gold Project. RC drilling continues to confirm the presence of high-grade gold mineralisation over a substantial 400-metre strike length, validating the potential of this newly identified discovery.

Highlights

  • Significant high-grade gold confirmed at New Cross Fault Discovery, in Fresh Rock: Eight RC holes (five angled at 608m and three vertical at 209m for drill water supply) have further validated the New Cross Fault Discovery zone with further gold intersections in fresh rock.

  • Additional RC Gold Intersections confirm New Cross Fault zone, including :

  • 10m @ 1.80 g/t Au – (from 127m) – and 1m 3.91 g/t Au to end of hole (EOH) within 35m @ 0.79 g/t Au (from 103m) MNORC 251

  • 8m @ 1.81 g/t Au – (from 68m) – within 22m @ 0.84 g/t Au MNORC 250

  • 7m @ 2.17 g/t Au – (from 79m) MNORC 253

  • 7m @ 1.25 g/t Au – (from 33m) – within 26m @ 0.75 g/t Au (from 29m) MNORC 229

  • 4m @ 2.70 g/t Au – (from 18m) MNORC 249

  • 4m @ 2.15 g/t Au – (from 73m) MNORC 252

  • 1m @ 6.12 g/t Au – (from 76m) MNORC 252

  • 1m @ 6.07 g/t Au – (from 41m) MNORC 252

  • High-Grade Mineralisation Extends into Fresh Rock: RC drilling confirms and expands on previous air core (AC) results.

  • Wide Zones of Sulphides Intersected: Indicating potential for significant gold endowment.

  • Further Cross Fault Drilling Underway: Planning is in progress for infill and extensional RC drilling, along with a 2,500m AC drill program (subject to weathering depth) to the south to better understand the extensive faulting and outcropping quartz feldspar porphyry identified in recent mapping.

  • Golden Goose RC hole: At the Golden Goose prospect, RC hole MNORC 257 has been reoriented 180 degrees, which intersected 10m @ 0.9 g/t Au.

  • Enhanced Project Potential: New Cross Fault discovery (1.3km south of existing Mineral Resources), boosts the overall prospectivity of the 260,000 oz Mulgabbie North Gold Project*.

  • 11.6 mt @ 0.70 g/t Au for 260,000 ounces of gold, reported at 0.3 g/t Au cut-off. See ASX announcement 18th July 2023 and Table 3.

CEO and Managing Director, Andrew Pumphrey, commented:

"We continue to intersect significant gold mineralisation in fresh rock at the Cross Fault at Mulgabbie North with our RC drilling. The extension of this high-grade mineralisation into fresh rock, beyond the areas tested by previous air core drilling, significantly expands the potential scale of this discovery. The intersection of wide sulphide zones further bolsters our belief in the potential for a substantial gold system.

Our commitment to aggressively explore this exciting new area is unwavering. We are already planning the next phase of infill and extensional RC drilling, complemented by a significant 2,500-metre AC program to the south. This will allow us to better understand the structural controls and unlock further potential at the Cross Fault area.

Additionally, geological fieldwork along the Relief Shear continues to identify targets for further AC drilling at the Cross Fault area. I am particularly excited about the discovery of outcropping porphyry with quartz veining and former pyrite mineralisation occurring at the intersection of several faults and structures. This represents the southern extension of the Cross Fault area. The AC program will deepen our understanding of the fault offsets and, hopefully, intersect significant gold mineralisation.”

Mulgabbie North –AC drilling South Cross Fault target

OZM has received gold assay results from the recently completed 8-hole RC drilling programme (883 metres) which was drilled at the newly identified Cross Fault target area. The purpose of this program was to confirm earlier released AC drilling results and test for gold mineralisation extending into fresh rock.

Wide zones of pyrite and arsenopyrite mineralisation were observed in RC drill chips from multiple RC drill holes indicating significant gold mineralisation potential at depth.

Significant gold results received from OZM’s 8-hole RC drilling program include:

  • 10m @ 1.80 g/t Au – (from 127m) – and 1m 3.91 g/t Au to EOH within 35m @ 0.79 g/t Au (from 103m) MNORC 251

  • 8m @ 1.81 g/t Au – (from 68m) – within 22m @ 0.84 g/t Au MNORC 250

  • 7m @ 2.17 g/t Au – (from 79m) MNORC 253

  • 7m @ 1.25 g/t Au – (from 33m) within 26m @ 0.75 g/t Au (from 29m) MNORC 229

  • 4m @ 2.70 g/t Au – (from 18m) MNORC 249

  • 4m @ 2.15 g/t Au – (from 73m) MNORC 252

  • 1m @ 6.12 g/t Au – (from 76m) MNORC 252

  • 1m @ 6.07 g/t Au – (from 41m) MNORC 252

Several RC drill holes ended in significant gold mineralisation including:

  • 10m @ 1.80 g/t Au – (from 127m) – and 1m 3.91 g/t Au EOH within 35m @ 0.79 g/t Au (from 103m) MNORC 251

  • 15m @ 0.75 g/t Au EOH – (from 105m) MNORC 253

  • 1m @ 1.50 g/t Au EOH - (from 64m) MNORC 229

OZM has completed two diamond drill holes for 220m, intended to understand the structure and lithogies at the Cross Fault targets. OZM’s strategy is to use RC drilling to indicate gold grade and diamond drilling to understand structure and lithology. OZM is planning further extensional and infill RC drilling at Cross Fault, with further RC holes at Golden Goose with results to be released when they become available..

As part of the latest program OZM drilled three vertical RC holes (MNORC 229, MNORC 249 and MNORC 255) to locate a suitable water supply for future drilling requirements at Cross Fault. OZM assays and logs these holes.

Laboratory turnaround times in Kalgoorlie have increased significantly due to an increase in gold exploration activity and assay results take up to 5 weeks to be received.

Field mapping at the Cross Fault has identified exciting southern extension targets over a 400m strike length along the Relief Shear. OZM anticipates drilling up to 2,500m of AC with the drill rig expected to arrive onsite today.

The total AC metres is subject to the depth of weathering and hole locations will vary based on drill chip observations to maximise drill coverage.

Mapping has located a north-south structure that contains mineralised cross structures and intersects an outcropping porphyry with quartz veining and oxidised pyrite mineralisation. OZM will test this newly identified porphyry with RC drilling.

The new Cross Fault target is situated on the Relief Shear some 2km south of the 260,000 oz Mulgabbie North Project Mineral Resource (see Table 3) which is also situated on the Relief Shear.

Golden Goose

RC hole MNORC 257 at Golden Goose intersected 10m @ 0.90 g/t Au from 22m. The hole was drilled to further understand the gold mineralisation previously intersected there by OZM. MNORC 107, drilled in 2021, intersected 4m @ 1.48 g/t Au (from 30m) within 20m @ 0.68 g/t Au (refer to ASX release 8/11/2021), with deeper RC holes failing to intersect significant gold mineralisation. MNORC 257 was drilled in the opposite direction to MNORC 107and further RC drilling is planned.

Golden Goose is sandstone-hosted mineralisation that was originally named by Saracen Minerals in 2013. Saracen drilled two RC holes GGRC001 and GGRC002, with GGRC002 intersecting gold mineralisation hosted in sandstone.

Geological Discussion

Several faults have now been identified at the Cross Fault project area including an important early north south oriented fault and a number of late NE trending faults that have offset geology and gold mineralisation.

OZM has located quartz veins that strike north-south and dip steeply to the east in a costean within the high grade gold zone as well as other quartz veins that strike 315°. The north–south striking quartz vein set is potentially related to the north-south fault recently identified in the field. Extensive quartz veining is seen on the surface at the Cross Fault area, and OZM observes that quartz veining is associated with faults.

OZM now has several intersections of gold mineralisation in fresh rock. This is associated with quartz veining, pyrite and arsenopyrite mineralisation. Mineralisation is open at depth and will be targeted by future RC drilling.

OZM observes that north-south striking faults are associated with large gold deposits at Carosue Dam and other significant gold deposits in the Eastern Goldfields of WA.

Sandstone appears to be the dominant host of high grade gold mineralisation along with extensive quartz veining with pyrite and arsenopyrite mineralisation. OZM observes brittle quartz vein crack-seal textures along with brecciation in RC chips associated with higher gold grades.

Sandstones are a brittle host rock and host large gold deposits currently being mined in the Carosue Dam basin, approximately 2km from Mulgabbie North.

The Mulgabbie North project areas including the James, Ben and Alicia deposits are dominantly conglomerate-hosted gold deposits and are extensively foliated. This is a function of those rocks behaving in a ductile fashion. OZM’s observations indicate that the Cross Fault area appears to be a sandstone dominated lithology.

OZM observes this to be typical of intermediate volcaniclastic units where facies can vary from mudstone and sandstone through to conglomerate based on grainsize. The intermediate volcaniclastic comprises several facies and extends along the Relief Shear within OZM tenure for some 8kms and is the eastern limb of the Carouse Dam basin syncline. The western limb hosts the Carosue Dam mines, operated by Northern Star Limited (NST. refer to figure 6 – intermediate volcaniclastic coloured on the plan).

The diamond drilling has targeted theses high-grade RC intersections and fresh rock to enable OZM to understand this area better. OZM Intends further RC drilling at Cross Fault.

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. _
Reverse circulation (RC) sampling is undertaken
for each metre, with drill chips being collected in
a plastic bag.
RC samples are laid out in rows of thirty samples
near the drill collar.
One metre samples weighing between 2 to 4 kg
are collected from the rig mounted cone splitter.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.
QAQC includes certified standards and blanks
inserted randomly and on average, one in every
30 samples.
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 differential GPS (DGPS) with an implied
horizontal accuracy of 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 metre sample intervals were collected
with a 2 to 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.
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).
The RC drilling was undertaken using a face
sampling percussion hammer using 135mm drill
bits.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
Each metre of RC sample is checked, and an
estimate of sample recovery is made. For 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.
The supervising geologist was present during the
drilling campaign and worked with the driller to
ensure that drill samples were not compromised.
Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
RC sample recoveries from the drill hole are
generally high although some of the weathered
material is lost in drilling (dust).

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 reported
instead of the fire assay result.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers,

None of these tools are used
Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and whether
acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of
bias) and precision have been established.
Certified Reference Materials (standards) are
purchased from an independent supplier of such
materials. Blanks are made up from samples
previously collected from other drill programs at
Mulgabbie North that have analysed as less than
detection Au values.
A standard sample followed by a blank sample
are inserted every 30thsample. A duplicate
sample is taken every 30 samples.
Evaluation of the OzAurum submitted standards
and blanks analysis results indicates that
assaying is accurate and without significant drift.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections
by either independent or alternative
company personnel.
At least two different company personnel visually
verified intersections in the collected drill chips.
At least two different company personnel visually
verified intersections in the diamond core. A
representative sample of each metre is collected
and stored for further verification if needed.
The use of twinned holes. The current RC drilling is exploratory an no direct
twinning of holes has been engaged in.
Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
Data collected in the form of spread sheets, for
drill hole collars, surveys, lithology and sampling.
All geological and field data is entered into
Microsoft Excel spreadsheets with lookup tables
and fixed formatting (and protected from
modification) thus only allowing data to be
entered using the OzAurum geological code
system and sample protocol.
Data is verified and validated by OZM geologists
and stored in a Microsoft Access Database
Data is emailed to database administrator
Geobase Australia Pty Ltd for validation and
importation into the database and periodically

Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
Drilling at Mulgabbie North is at:
20m line x 10m hole
20m line x 20m hole
40m line x 20m hole
The holes reported in this release were on 50m
and 100m spaced lines that are 20m apart along
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 the presence of mineralisation for
exploration purposes.
Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
RC samples are one metre intervals.
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.
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.
The Competent Person does not consider that
drilling orientation has introduced a material
sampling bias as the dominant mineralised shear
zone at Mulgabbie North hosting mineralisation
strikes at 315° and dips 70°NE.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
Chain of custody is managed by OZM. Field
samples are stored overnight onsite at site office
+ camp facility (if not delivered to laboratory) with
staff in residence who are employees of
OzAurum.
Field samples are delivered to the assay
laboratory in Kalgoorlie by OZM personnel once
the hole is completed. Whilst in storage at the
laboratory, they are kept in a locked yard.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style
of mineralisation.
The Mulgabbie North Au deposit is an Archaean
mesothermal Au deposit.
The local geology consists of a sequence of
ultramafic, mafic felsic –intermediate volcanic and
volcaniclastic rocks, with interflow carbonaceous
sediments found on the lithological boundaries.
Archean dolerite intrusions are conformable within
the sequence. The metamorphic grade is lower
greenschist facies.
The alteration assemblage associated with gold is
quartz
carbonate
and
sericite,
pyrite
and
arsenopyrite.
Mineralisation is found within the Relief Shear that
occurs
on
a
lithological
contact
between
mafic/ultramafic
volcanic/intrusives
and
Intermediate/felsic volcanic volcaniclastic.
This contact represents a major trans lithospheric
structure situated on the eastern margin of the
Carosue Dam basin.

5.
hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the information is
not Material and this exclusion does not
detract from the understanding of the
report, the Competent Person should
clearly explain why this is the case.
Other relevant drill hole information can be
found in Section 1-“Sampling techniques,
“Drilling techniques” and “Drill sample
recovery”.
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.
Sample intervals are one metre samples
submitted for assay.
The results expressed in this Release are of the
one metre samples and no grade cutting has
been engaged in.
Composites of elevated grade have been
aggregated into mineralised intercepts based on
raw composite assays and no modifications have
been made to the raw data.
No metal equivalent values have been reported.
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.
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 geometry seen at
Mulgabbie North is:
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 its strike. 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’).
