- Wirlong Prospect Cobar Superbasin Project (Peel Mining Ltd 100%; JOGMEC earning up to 50%)

Peel Mining Ltd is pleased to advise that recent drilling at Wirlong, near Cobar in western NSW, has intersected multiple significant mineralised intervals, extending the known mineralisation which remains open in all directions. Drilling at Wirlong has been funded by JOGMEC, through an earn-in agreement (see Cobar Superbasin Project Background on page 4 for further information). Mineralisation intersected to date shows the typical geochemical, geological, mineral and alteration assemblages of “Cobar-style” deposits.

Wirlong is a large prospect covering more than 2.5km strike extent, comprising a package of intercalated, sheared and altered felsic volcanics and sediments. It is defined by historic copper workings, a topographic high, a >2km strike multi-element surface geochemical anomaly, and coincident or semi coincident geophysical anomalies including magnetic, radiometric, gravity, IP and more recently electromagnetic.

Phase 3 drilling at Wirlong commenced in late April and involved the completion of 8 drillholes for 3,691.6m. Drilling comprised a combination of RC drillholes and RC precollar with diamond tail drillholes. Productivity, timing and final design of the drilling programme was impacted by much higher than usual rainfall affecting western NSW over the last 3 months.

Drillholes WLRCDD024, WLRC025, WLRC026, WLRCDD027, and WLRCDD028 were completed as follow-up to Wirlong discovery drillholes WLRCDD015 and WLDD001. Drillholes WLRCDD015 and WLDD001 were completed in late 2015 with better results including: WLDD001 - 9m @ 8.0% Cu, 17 g/t Ag, 0.21 g/t Au from 616m (incl. 2.82m @ 21.85% Cu, 46 g/t Ag, 0.62 g/t Au from 619.68m) and 38m @ 1.18% Cu, 4 g/t Ag from 450m ; and WLRCDD015 - 4.9m @ 4.3% Cu, 13 g/t Ag from 402.1m (incl. 0.9m @ 19.5% Cu, 58 g/t Ag from 402.1m), and 22m @ 1.0% Cu, 4 g/t Ag from 332m .

Phase 3 drillholes were designed to test along strike and up-dip from WLRCDD015 and WLDD001. Importantly, all follow-up drillholes intersected copper mineralisation. Significant intercepts returned from Phase 3 drilling at Wirlong include:

  • WLRCDD024 significant mineralised intercepts including

  • 121m @ 0.73% Cu, 3 g/t Ag from 207m, including:

    • 26m @ 1.21% Cu, 5 g/t Ag from 227m

    • 5m @ 1.14% Cu, 3 g/t Ag from 260m

    • 2m @ 1.24% Cu, 5 g/t Ag from 278m

    • 10m @ 1.01% Cu, 4 g/t Ag from 288m

  • 1m @ 4.81% Cu, 10 g/t Ag from 556m

  • 1m @ 3.91% Cu, 11 g/t Ag from 617m

  • 4m @ 1.10% Cu, 3 g/t Ag from 723m

  • WLRC026 significant mineralised intercepts including:

  • 2m @ 3.80% Cu, 11 g/t ag from 36m

  • 5m @ 0.63% Cu, 2 g/t Ag from 71m

  • 46m @ 0.51% Cu, 2 g/t Ag from 229m, including

    • 9m @ 1.27% Cu, 4 g/t Ag from 255m
  • WLRCDD027 significant mineralised intercepts including:

  • 16m @ 0.56% Cu, 4 g/t Ag from 57m

  • 10m @ 0.74% Cu, 5 g/t Ag from105m

  • WLRCDD028 significant mineralised intercepts including:

  • 90m @ 0.68% Cu, 3 g/t Ag from 412m, including

    • 9m @ 1.29% Cu, 7 g/t Ag from 412m

    • 19m @ 1.36% Cu, 6 g/t Ag from 432m

  • 1m @ 6.96% Zn, 0.58% Pb, 6 g/t Ag from 546m

Mineralisation comprises chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite+/-sphalerite+/-galena+/-pyrite and occurs as sulphide disseminations, veins and veinlets, and breccia within occasionally sheared/deformed and altered (silica-chlorite-sericite) turbidite sediments and/or felsic volcanics (rhyolite/rhyo-dacite). The true width of mineralisation is inferred to be between 40-50% of the downhole widths and is thought to be striking approximately north-south and dipping at ~80 degrees to the west.

Figure 1 – Wirlong drill plan with significant Cu intercepts

Significant copper mineralisation at Wirlong has now been defined over ~200m strike, and from near surface to more than 500m below surface. Mineralisation remains open up and down dip and along strike. Initial interpretation of results suggests a possible easterly offset to the mineral system to the north, as evidenced by highly anomalous copper mineralisation returned from the upper part of WLRCDD027.

Future activity at Wirlong will be focused on extending the known mineralisation and targeting potential higher grade structures. Downhole electromagnetic surveying is planned for the near term.

Cobar Superbasin Project Background

The Cobar Superbasin Project, which includes the Wirlong prospect, is subject to a Memorandum of Agreement with Japan Oil, Gas, and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), under which JOGMEC may earn up to 50% interest by funding up to $7 million of exploration, over a period of up to 5 years. Details of the JOGMEC MoA can be found in Peel's ASX Announcement released on 30 September 2014.

Year 3 field activities commenced in April 2016, and have comprised drilling and geophysics. Full summaries of Cobar Superbasin Project activities and results will be published in the upcoming quarterly report.

Mallee Bull Project (Peel Mining Ltd 50%; CBH Resources Ltd 50%)

Peel Mining also announces that drilling at Mallee Bull has now recommenced as part of investigations to test for new mineralisation. Proposed targets include untested EM conductors to the north of Mallee Bull, potential shallow mineralisation (T1 repeats/extensions), and the T3 remanent magnetic anomaly southeast of Mallee Bull. The programme is anticipated to encompass up to 6,000m of RC and diamond drilling.

Mallee Bull Project Background

The Mallee Bull project, comprising EL7461 and ML1361, lies adjacent to the historic 4-Mile Goldfield and was identified as a coincident EM and magnetic geophysical anomaly in early 2011. In mid-2011 massive and stringer/breccia sulphide mineralisation with strong Cu-Ag-Au-Pb-Zn values, characteristic of major Cobar-style deposits, was intercepted in drilling.

In May 2012, Peel and CBH Resources Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Toho Zinc Co Ltd., signed a Heads of Agreement related to EL7461 and ML1361, under which, CBH gained the right to earn up to 50% via $8.33 million expenditure. In March 2014, CBH Resources completed its final Farm-in payment, and consequently a 50:50 Joint Venture has now been formed.

Mineralisation at Mallee Bull features the “Cobar-style” attributes of short strike length, moderate widths and extensive vertical continuity, with the deepest mineralised drillhole intercept at more than 800m below surface. A maiden resource estimate for Mallee Bull was made in May 2014, in accordance with the JORC Code (2012), comprising 3.9 million tonnes at 2.3% copper, 32 g/t silver and 0.3 g/t gold for 90,000 tonnes of contained copper, 4 million ounces contained silver and 43,000 ounces contained gold (at a 1% copper equivalent cut-off).

Drilling undertaken in 2015 encountered new and extensional mineralisation including extremely high grade Zn-Pb-Ag-Au mineralisation, with better intercepts including:

  • MBRC028 returned 7m @ 21.39% Zn, 12.74% Pb, 203 g/t Ag, 0.58 g/t Au from 71m including 5m @ 29.54% Zn, 17.52% Pb, 280 g/t Ag, 0.80 g/t Au from 71m

  • MBRC024 returned 12m @ 20.30% Zn, 14.81% Pb, 308 g/t Ag, 1.59 g/t Au from 83m including 7m @ 31.44% Zn, 19.37% Pb, 440 g/t Ag, 2.53 g/t Au from 83m

Additional information regarding Mallee Bull will be published in the upcoming quarterly report.

Table 1 - Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data for Mallee Bull/Cobar Superbasin Project

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, reverse circulation (RC) and
Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling were used to
obtain samples for geological logging and
assaying.
 Diamond core was cut and sampled at 1m
intervals. RC and RAB drill holes were
sampled at 1m intervals and split using a
cone splitter attached to the cyclone to
generate a split of 2-4kg (generally) to
ensure sample representivity.
 Multi-element readings were taken of the
RC and RAB drill chips using an Olympus
Delta Innov-X portable XRF tool. The
portable XRF was calibrated against
standards after every 30 readings.
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, reverse circulation and rotary air
blast. Reverse circulation drilling utilised a
5 1/2 inch diameter hammer. A blade bit
was predominantly used for RAB drilling.
NQ and HQ coring was used for diamond
drilling.
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.
 RC and RAB 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
drilling programs 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
exists between recovery and grade. This
will be assessed once a statisticallyvalid

amount of data is available to make a
determination.
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, RC and RAB
samples records lithology, mineralogy,
mineralisation, structure (DDH
only),
weathering, colour and other features of
the samples. Core is photographed as both
wet and dry.
 All diamond, RC 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

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 and RAB drilling rigs were 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 maximise 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.
 Early stage exploration sees composite
sampling completed for Au only analysis,
with samples hand speared using a half
round piece of pipe with samples collected
as
6m
composites.
Resampling
is
undertaken using split samples which are
stored with the bulk samples at the time of
drilling.
 Where pXRF sampling indicates significant
base metals mineralisation, 1m split
samples for those intervals are collected
and submitted for multi-element analysis.
 A sample size of 2-4kg was collected and
considered
appropriate
and
representative for the grain size and style
of mineralisation.

Duplicates for drill core are collected by
the lab every 30 samples after the core
sample is pulverised. Duplicates for
percussion drilling are collected directly
from the drill rig or the metre 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

 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.

Wirlong have been picked up by DGPS.
Down-hole surveys are conducted by the
drill contractors using either a Reflex
gyroscopic tool with readings every 10m
after drill hole completion or 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
down-hole
magnetic

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.
 5m or 6m sample compositing has been
applied to RC drilling and RAB drilling for
gold assay.
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.
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.
 Most drillholes are planned to intersect the
interpreted mineralised structures/lodes
as near to a perpendicular angle as
possible (subject to access to the preferred
collar position).
Sample

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 90-100% of the downhole width
unless otherwise indicated.
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
be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.
 All results are reported.
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.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (eg
tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
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 and Cobar
Superbasin Project will include geophysical
surveying and RC/diamond drilling to
further define the extent of mineralization
at
the
prospect.
Down
hole
electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys will be
used to identify potential conductive
sources
that
may
be
related
to
mineralization.
