ASX / MEDIA RELEASE
CBH PROCEEDS TO STAGE 2 OF MALLEE BULL FARM-IN
Peel Mining Limited (ASX: PEX) is pleased to advise that following the completion of Stage 1 of the Mallee Bull farm-in agreement, CBH Resources Limited has elected to proceed with Stage 2 of the agreement. Stage 1 saw CBH pay Peel $1 million and spend $1.5 million on exploration to earn an initial interest of 15%. This exploration was completed late last month.
Stage 2 of the farm-in agreement will see CBH spend a further $2.5 million on exploration at Mallee Bull to earn an additional 15%. Stage 3 of the farm-in agreement (assuming CBH elects to continue) will see CBH spend a further $3.33 million on exploration for an additional 20%, taking CBH’s total interest in Mallee Bull to 50%. Peel remains operator throughout the farm-in process.
Exploration planning for Stage 2 of the farm-in is advanced and field activities, including drilling, are anticipated to restart in January 2013.
Background on Mallee Bull copper-polymetallic deposit and CBH farm-in
In March/April 2011, Peel began targeting a newly-recognised coincident EM and magnetic geophysical anomaly located within the historic 4-Mile goldfield. The 4-Mile goldfield comprises up to 60 shafts and workings spread over an area covering about 1,000m by 500m.
Initial drilling resulted in the discovery of highly anomalous silver-lead-zinc mineralisation. Follow-up drilling completed in July/August 2011 intersected massive and stringer/breccia sulphide mineralisation containing strong Cu-Ag-Au-Pb-Zn-Co values . Phase 1 follow-up exploration was completed in early 2012 with many significant results returned confirming Mallee Bull as an important greenfields discovery.
In May 2012, CBH Resources Limited farmed-in to Mallee Bull whereby CBH has the right to earn an interest of up to 50% in the project over a three-year period through an $8.33m spend. Peel remains responsible for exploration activities through this period. CBH Resources is an Australian-based mineral resources company producing zinc, lead and silver from the Endeavour Mine north of Cobar, and the Rasp mine in Broken Hill. The company, which is 100%-owned by Tokyo Stock Exchangelisted Toho Zinc, recently opened the Rasp underground zinc, lead and silver mine at Broken Hill.
Phase 2 drilling was completed in late November 2012 with many significant results returned. These results have now established that mineralisation at Mallee Bull shows vertical continuity from ~150m below surface to at least 600m below surface. Mallee Bull represents the most significant copperpolymetallic discovery in the Cobar district in recent times.
