SOUTHERN NIGHTS RETURNS FURTHER HIGH-GRADE INTERCEPTS; RAB DRILLING EXTENDS PROSPECTIVE STRIKE TO ~2.7KM
-
New important zinc-lead-silver intercepts returned, with assay results including:
o8m @ 15.26% Zn, 7.44% Pb, 177 g/t Ag, 0.97 g/t Au from 195m in WTRCDD043; further assays pending -
WTRCDD033 diamond tail returns spectacular zinc-lead-silver intercept from ~218m to ~245m downhole; assays pending
-
RAB drilling extends strike of lead-zinc anomalism to ~2.7km strike open in all directions
-
Expanded drilling programme to resume early January 2018
Peel Mining (ASX:PEX) (“Peel” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that its 100%-owned Wagga Tank-Southern Nights project, south of Cobar in western New South Wales, continues to demonstrate the potential to develop into a major mineral system, with further high-grade zinc-lead-silver intercepts returned from the Southern Nights prospect and RAB drilling extending the strike length of lead-zinc geochemical anomalism in the project area to ~2.7km (open in all directions).
While most assays from the most recent round of drilling are yet to be received, an intercept of 8m at 15.26% Zn, 7.44% Pb, 177 g/t Ag and 0.97 g/t Au from 195m was returned from hole WTRCDD043, providing further compelling evidence of the high-grade tenor of mineralisation at Southern Nights. Furthermore, a diamond tail extension to hole WTRCDD033 intersected spectacular massive sphalerite-galena-pyrite sulphide mineralisation, similar to that encountered in WTRCDD035, from ~218m to ~245m downhole. Assays from this hole are expected early in the New Year.

Southern Nights Discovery
Southern Nights, located ~1km south of the high-grade (Zn-Pb-Ag-Au-Cu) Wagga Tank deposit, was identified in September this year by drillhole WTRCDD021 (456.6m) as hosting significant Wagga Tankstyle mineralisation. Follow-up drilling undertaken since mid-October has focused on testing the strike and depth potential of mineralisation. As of 17 December, 36 RC drillholes (for 8,050m), 10 RC/diamond drillholes (for 3,653.2m), and 103 RAB drillholes (for 8,637m) had been completed as part of this program. At least 17 RC drillholes require diamond tails.
An expanded drilling programme at Southern Nights has been underway since late November, with two diamond rigs, one RC rig and one RAB rig. Recent work has been designed to target the contact between the Wagga Tank and Vivigani stratigraphic units, where significant Zn-Pb-Ag-Au mineralisation is known to occur. The bulk of recent RC and diamond drilling has been focused at the main Southern Nights area where high-grade mineralisation has been identified over ~300m strike. RAB drilling has been designed to test for geochemical anomalism and to attempt to locate the contact between the Wagga Tank and Vivigani stratigraphic units. Encouragingly, RAB drilling has extended the strike of lead-zinc anomalism to ~2.7km strike, and open.
The geometry, and hence true widths, of mineralisation at Southern Nights is still uncertain, with recent results indicating a sub-vertical mineralised system, with a likely steep westerly dip. This would imply true widths of between approximately 35-50% of the downhole intervals reported for all westoriented (270 degree collar azimuth) drillholes, and between 70-90% for east-oriented (085/090 degree collar azimuth) drillholes. Significant assay results received from Southern Nights to date is shown below, with new results highlighted in yellow.

RC and Diamond Drilling Summary
A summary of follow-up drilling completed since last announcement is included below:
WTRCDD033 (501.4m) was collared 270 azi and was extended with a 301.4m diamond tail following ending in mineralisation as an RC drillhole. WTRCDD033 returned 74m @ 3.35% Zn, 1.07% Pb, 23 g/t Ag, 0.23 g/t Au from 123m (including 7m @ 10.50% Zn, 2.22% Pb, 15 g/t Ag, 0.61 g/t Au from 189m) in the RC portion of the drillhole. The diamond tail intersected spectacular massive sphalerite-galenapyrite sulphide mineralisation from ~218m to ~245m downhole. Logging and portable XRF analysis indicates very high-grade Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation to be present. The diamond tail was continued past this mineralisation to test a geophysical target at depth, however no further mineralisation was returned. The images below show the mineralised zone:

Wagga Tank Background
Wagga Tank is located ~130 km south of Cobar on the western edge of the Cobar Superbasin. The deposit is positioned at the western-most exposure of the Mt. Keenan Volcanics (Mt. Hope Group) where it is conformably overlain by a poorly outcropping, distal turbidite sequence of carbonaceous slate and siltstone. Mineralisation is hosted in a sequence of rhyodacitic volcanic and associated volcaniclastic rocks comprising polymictic conglomerate, sandstone, slate, crystal-lithic tuff and crystal tuff. Mineralisation straddles the contact between the volcaniclastic facies and the siltstone-slate facies where there is a broad zone of intense tectonic brecciation and hydrothermal alteration (sericitechlorite with local silicification). Mineralisation is believed to sub-vertical in nature.
Mineralisation comprises a near surface oxide gold zone, a possible supergene-enriched copper-goldsilver zone, and a primary zinc-lead-silver -rich massive sulphide zone starting at the base of oxidation (~120m below surface). Historic drilling comprised 20 percussion drillholes and 22 diamond drillholes (some completed as percussion pre-collar/diamond tail combinations). All drillholes intersected mineralisation to some degree, with 24 intercepting significant values including:

Table 1 - Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data for Mallee Bull/Cobar Superbasin/Wagga Tank Projects
| 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 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. • Multi-element readings were taken of the diamond core and RC drill chips using an Olympus Delta Innov-X portable XRF machine or an Olympus Vanta portable XRF machine. Portable XRF machines are routinely serviced, calibrated and checked against blanks/standards. |
| 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 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 at Wirlong and Mallee Bull to date have generally been high. • Sample recoveries at Wagga Tank have been variable with broken ground occurring in places and poorer sample recoveries encountered. Insufficient data |

| is available at present to determine if a relationship exists between recovery and grade. This will be assessed once a statistically valid amount of data is available to make a determination. • Sample recoveries at Southern Nights have beengenerallyhigh to date. |
||
| 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 drill holes in the current program were geologically logged in full except at Wagga Tank where logging is still underway. |
| 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 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. • A sample size of 2-4kg was collected and considered appropriate and representative for the grain size and style of mineralisation. |
| 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 controlprocedures adopted(eg |
• ALS Laboratory Services were used for Au and multi-element analysis work carried on out on 3m to 6m composite samples and 1m split samples. The laboratory techniques below are for all samples submitted to ALS and are considered appropriate for the style of mineralisation defined at Mallee Bull, |

Reading time for Innov-X was 20 seconds per reading with a total 3 readings per sample. Reading time for Vanta was 10 & 20 seconds per reading with 2 readings per sample. • The QA/QC data includes standards, duplicates and laboratory checks. 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 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 samples. Standard practice is for the GPS to be left at the site of the collar for a period of 5 minutes to obtain a steady reading. Collars are routinely picked up after by DGPS. Down- hole surveys are conducted by the drill contractors using either a Reflex gyroscopic tool with readings every10m |

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 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. • 3m to 6m sample compositing has been applied to RC drilling at Mallee Bull for gold and/or multi-element 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 security |
• The measures taken to ensure sample security. | • The chain of custody is managed by the project geologist who places calico sample bags in polyweave sacks. Up to 5 calico sample bags are placed in each sack. Each sack is clearly labelled with: oPeel Mining Ltd oAddress of Laboratory oSample range • Detailed records are kept of all samples that are dispatched, including details of chain of custody. |

||
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
• Work at Mallee Bull was completed in the area by several former tenement holders including 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. • Work at Wagga Tank was completed by multiple previous explorers including Newmont, Homestake, Amoco, Cyprus, Arimco, Golden Cross, Pasminco and MMG. Minimal exploration has been completed at the Wagga Tank area since 1989. |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• The Mallee Bull 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 between these two regions. Mineralization at the Mallee Bull discovery features the Cobar-style attributes of short strike lengths (<200m), narrow widths (5- 20m) and vertical continuity, and occurs as a shoot-like structure dipping moderately to the west. • Wagga Tank, is believed to be a volcanic- hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) or Cobar- style deposit, and is located ~130 km south of Cobar on the western edge of the Cobar Superbasin. The deposit is positioned at the western-most exposure of the Mt. Keenan Volcanics (Mt. Hope Group) where it is conformably overlain by a poorly- outcropping, distal turbidite sequence of carbonaceous slate and siltstone. Mineralisation is hosted in a sequence of rhyodacitic volcanic and associated volcaniclastic rocks comprising polymictic conglomerate, sandstone, slate, crystal- lithic tuff and crystal tuff.

| faces northwest, strikes northeast- southwest and dips range from moderate westerly, to vertical, and locally overturned to the east. Mineralisation straddles the contact between the volcaniclastic facies and the siltstone-slate facies where there is a broad zone of intense tectonic brecciation and hydrothermal alteration (sericite-chlorite with local silicification). |

| 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 – elevation abovesea 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. |
• All relevant information material to the understanding of exploration results has been included within the body of the announcement or as appendices. • No information has been excluded. |
| 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 90-100% of the downhole width unless otherwise indicated. • Southern Nights (part of the Wagga Tank project) true widths are unknown at this point due to the early stage nature of investigation. |
| 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 bepracticed to avoid misleading reporting of |
• All results are reported. |
