EXPLORATION UPDATE – MALLEE BULL RESOURCE DEFINITION DRILLING UNDERWAY
-
MBDD017, drilled as a metallurgical drillhole, extends known Mallee Bull mineralisation to ~800m below surface, >50m deeper than previously identified
-
MBDD017 also identifies a high-grade copper zone at ~220m below surface, follow-up drilling planned
-
MBDD016, targeting an offhole DHEM anomaly, intersects several narrow high grade copper zones, more than 400m away from Mallee Bull
-
Resource definition drilling at Mallee Bull now underway for maiden resource estimate by May 2014
Peel Mining is pleased to report that investigations at the Company’s flagship Mallee Bull project continue to produce positive results. Recent exploration efforts at the Mallee Bull/Gilgunnia Project have been focused on identifying potential new sources of mineralisation, supplementary to that already recognised at Mallee Bull, however, in line with exploration planning, resource definition drilling has now resumed at Mallee Bull with a maiden resource estimate expected by May 2014. Exploration continues to be funded by way of the Stage 3 earn-in requirement of the $8.33m farm-in agreement with CBH Resources Ltd.
Current planning sees CBH complete its Stage 3 farm-in requirements by mid-March 2014, at which time a 50:50 joint venture will form. With cash reserves of ~$4.7m at hand, Peel is well-capitalised to fund its share of exploration in the New Year.
Recent activities at the Mallee Bull/Gilgunnia Project have comprised diamond and RC drilling, and various surface and downhole geophysical surveys and modeling.
MBDD012, MBDD015, MBDD016 Drillhole Summaries
Drillhole MBDD012 (483.3m) was designed to test a moderate offhole DHEM anomaly identified at ~250m downhole in MBDD011. This anomaly is located in close proximity to significant lead-zinc-silver mineralisation observed over a 4m zone at ~390m in MBDD011.
MBDD012 intercepted a broad zone of variable, but generally weak, sphalerite-galena-pyrrhotitepyrite mineralisation occurring as veinlets from ~350m downhole to end-of-hole. This mineralisation is coincident with an increase in chlorite alteration. Follow-up DHEM surveying of MBDD012 indicated that the primary DHEM target remained untested and follow-up drilling with MBDD015 and MBDD016 targeting this anomaly was completed.
MBDD015 (168.3m) was terminated prematurely following drilling problems.
MBDD016 (395.4m) was drilled from effectively the same collar position as MBDD015 and intercepted several locally strong though limited copper mineralised zones: 1m @ 4.95% Cu, 49 g/t Ag, 0.21 g/t Au from 275m and 1m @ 5.49% Cu, 41 g/t Ag, 0.88 g/t Au from 288m. These intercepts occur more than 400m east of Mallee Bull. The mineralisation was accompanied by moderate to strong chlorite and patchy but intense

sericite alteration with plentiful high-strain quartz veins. The mineralisation is identical to the Mallee Bull footwall/stringer style mineralisation and occurs within rhythmically bedded mudstone through sandstone.

Figure 2 – MBDD016 - 1m @5.49% Cu, 41 g/t Ag, 0.88 g/t Au from 288m
DHEM surveying of MBDD016 indicates that the mineralisation is open up and down dip and followup exploration is planned in due course. The discovery of strong footwall/stringer-style mineralisation at distance from Mallee Bull is considered very encouraging.
MBDD017, MBDD017W1, MBDD017W2 Drillhole Summaries
Drillhole MBDD017 and wedges, drilled primarily to provide fresh material for additional metallurgical testwork purposes, was collared in an up-dip position above Mallee Bull and drilled down the dip of mineralisation at Mallee Bull. As expected, extensive zones of mineralisation were intersected, however it should be noted that given the down-dip nature of drilling no true width estimates are possible.
MBDD017 was also designed to stay within mineralisation for as long as possible in an attempt to extend the known depth of mineralisation. In this regard, MBDD017W2 was successful in intercepting stringer-style chalcopyrite mineralisation to about 825m downhole, or more than 800m below surface. This represents an increase of more than 50m in vertical extent of Mallee Bull mineralisation.
Also of note in MBDD017 was the intersection of a shallow, high grade copper interval within the hanging wall massive sulphide zone grading 13m @ 5.5% Cu, 59 g/t Ag, 1.68 g/t Au from 225m (~215m

below surface). As previously noted, no true width can be determined from this intercept, however this zone does appear to correlate well with high copper values seen in several other nearby drillholes. Importantly, this area appears lightly drilled offering the potential to define an area of high-grade copper-rich mineralisation close to surface. Accordingly, further drilling around this zone is planned.
It should be noted also that only partial assays for MBDD017 have been received with the remainder pending.
MBDD013, MBDD014, MBRCDD007, MBRCDD008 Drillhole Summaries
Drillholes MBDD013 (618.5m) and MBDD014 (799.9m) were completed targeting a recently identified geophysical anomaly generated from a magnetotelluric (MT) survey completed over the Mallee Bull and Butcher’s Dog prospect areas. Preliminary 2D modelling of the data identified an anomaly located approximately 500m north of Mallee Bull. Drillholes MBDD013 and MBDD014 targeted this anomaly.
Both drillholes intercepted minor zones of variable, narrow, chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite-pyritearsenopyrite-sphalerite mineralisation similar in style to Mallee Bull footwall/stringer mineralisation with associated chlorite and silica-alteration, however no significant assays were returned.
3D modelling of the MT data was recently received and indicated that the anomaly’s position was possibly further south than originally interpreted. Drillholes MBRCDD007 (459.5m) and MBRCDD008 (489.5m) were targeted toward this new position and completed recently. Again both drillholes encountered broad zones of minor mineralisation including pyrrhotite-sphalerite veinlets and alteration comprising chlorite and silica. Assays remain pending although aren’t thought to be significant. DHEM surveying of MBRCDD007 was recently completed and initial interpretation indicates that the MT anomaly may be explained by a small inhole response that reflects a zone of increased pyrrhotite mineralisation.
Resource Definition Drilling
In line with exploration planning, drilling recently recommenced at the Mallee Bull deposit as part of a resource definition drilling programme to enable a maiden resource estimate by May 2014. This drilling is designed to fill some of the large areal gaps within the existing Mallee Bull drilling dataset.
Initially, drilling is being targeted at a zone of low drill density at about the 350m below surface level. Several drillholes are also planned to test for a shallow high-grade component to Mallee Bull recently identified in MBDD017, followed by several deeper drillholes to deeper levels within Mallee Bull where high grade material has been returned previously.
Drilling has now paused for the Christmas/New Year period but will resume in mid-January with 2 rigs initially on the ground. Peel wishes all its shareholders a safe and happy Christmas and New Year.

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 within a broad zone of deformation and alteration. By mid-2013, Mallee Bull had proven to be a major copper discovery with high-grade mineralisation present from around 150m below surface to at least 750m below surface, baring the hallmarks of a classic Cobar-style polymetallic deposit.
CBH Resources farmed-in to Mallee Bull in May 2012, 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 is 100%-owned by Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed Toho Zinc.

Table 1 - Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (eg 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. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done 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 explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
Diamond drilling and reverse circulation (RC) drilling were used to obtain samples for geological logging and assaying. Diamond core was cut and sampled at 1m intervals. RC drill holes were sampled at 1m intervals and split using a cone splitter attached to the cyclone to generate a split of 2-4kg to ensure sample representivity. |
| Drilling techniques |
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg 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). _ |
Drilling to date has been a combination of diamond and reverse circulation. Reverse circulation drilling utilized a 5 ½ inch diameter hammer. Diamond drilling ranged from PQ to NQ coring. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. 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. |
Core recoveries are recorded by the drillers in the field at the time of drilling and checked by a geologist or technician. Overall core recoveries to date are >95%. RC samples are not weighed on a regular basis due to the exploration nature of drilling but no significant sample recovery issues have been encountered in a drilling program to date. Diamond core is reconstructed into continuous runs on an angle iron cradle for orientation marking and depths are checked against the depths recorded on core blocks. Rod counts are routinely undertaken by drillers. When poor sample recovery is encountered during drilling, the geologist and driller have endeavoured to rectify the problem to ensure maximum sample recovery. Sample recoveries to date have generally been high. Insufficient data is available at present to determine if a relationship |

| 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. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
All core and drill chip samples are geologically logged. Core samples are orientated and logged for geotechnical information. Drill chip samples are logged at 1m intervals from surface to the bottom of each individual hole to a level that will support appropriate future Mineral Resource studies. Logging of diamond core and RC sample records lithology, mineralogy, mineralisation, structural, (DDH only), weathering, colour, and other feature of the samples. Core is photographed as both wet and dry. All diamond and RAB drill holes in the current program 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. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub- sampling stages 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. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Drill core was cut with a core saw and half core taken. The RC drilling rig was equipped with an in-built cyclone and splitting system, which provided one bulk sample of approximately 20kg and a sub-sample of 2-4kg per metre drilled. All samples were split using the system described above to maximize and maintain consistent representivity. The majority of samples were dry. Bulk samples were placed in green plastic bags, with the sub-samples collected placed in calico sample bags. Field duplicates were collected by re- splitting the bulk samples from large plastic bags. These duplicates were designed for lab checks. A sample size of 2-4kg was collected and considered appropriate and representative for the grain size and style of mineralization. |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg |

Duplicates for drill core are collected by the lab every 30 samples after the core sample is pulverized. Duplicates for percussion drilling are collected directly from the drill rig or the meter sample bag using a half round section of pipe. In house QA/QC tests are conducted by the lab on each batch of samples with standards supplied by the same companies that supplyour own. |

| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes. Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
All geological logging and sampling information is completed in spreadsheets, which are then transferred to a database for validation and compilation at the Peel head office. Electronic copies of all information are backed up periodically. No adjustments of assay data are considered necessary. |
| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Specification of the grid system used. Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
A Garmin hand-held GPS is used to define the location of the drill hole collars. Standard practice is for the GPS to be left at the site of the collar for a period of 10 minutes to obtain a steady reading. Collars are picked up after by DGPS. Down hole surveys are conducted by the drill contractors using predominantly a Reflex gyroscopic tool with readings every 10m after drill hole completion. On occasion a Reflex electronic multi-shot camera will be used with readings for dip and magnetic azimuth taken every 30m down hole. QA/QC in the field involves calibration using a test stand. The instrument is positioned with a stainless steel drill rod so as not to affect the magnetic azimuth. Grid system used is MGA 94 (Zone 55). All downhole magnetic surveys were converted to MGA94grid. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. 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. Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
Data/drill hole spacing is variable and appropriate to the geology and historical drilling. No sample compositing is used in this report; all results detailed are the product of 1m down hole sample intervals. |

| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. |
The Mallee Bull prospect is wholly located within Exploration Licence EL7461 “Gilgunnia”. The tenement is subject to a farm-in agreement (JV) with CBH Resources Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Toho Zinc Co Ltd. Peel has a 70% interest in the tenement. The tenement is in good standing and no known impediments exist. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Work was completed in the area by former tenement holders Triako Resources between 2003 and 2009; it included diamond drilling, IP surveys, geological mapping and reconnaissance geochemical sampling around the historic Four Mile Goldfield area. Prior to Triako Resources, Pasminco Exploration explored the Cobar Basin area for a “Cobar-type” or “Elura-type” zinc-lead-silver or copper- gold-lead-zinc deposit. |

The prospect area lies within the Cobar- Mt Hope Siluro-Devonian sedimentary and volcanic units. The northern Cobar region consists of predominantly sedimentary units with tuffaceous member, whilst the southern Mt Hope region consists of predominantly felsic volcanic rocks; the Mallee Bull prospect seems to be located in an area of overlap |

| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: o easting and northing of the drill hole collaro elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevationabove sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length and interception deptho 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. |
Refer to Annexure 1 in the body of text. |
| 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. |
No length weighting or top-cuts have been applied. No metal equivalent values are used for reporting exploration results. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. 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’). _ |
True widths are generally estimated to be about 60% of the downhole width, except for MBDD017 where no true width is determinable because of the down-dip nature of the drillhole. |
| 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. |
Refer to Figures in the body of text. |
| Balanced reporting |
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should |

| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
No other substantive exploration data are available. |

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
Future work at Mallee Bull will include diamond drilling to further define the extent of mineralization at the prospect. Infill drilling has started and planned to continue, with the aim of defining a JORC code complaint resource. Down hole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys will be used to identify potential conductive sources that may be related to mineralization. |
