WIRLONG INTERCEPT RETURNS 17m @ 4.59% COPPER

  • WLRCDD043 returns 17m @ 4.59% Cu, 8 g/t Ag from 738m

  • High-grade copper mineralisation defined from near surface to ~600m below surface

  • Drillhole WLRCDD044, designed to test down-dip from WLRCDD043, continuing

  • Offhole geophysical anomaly north of WLRCDD043 represents likely extensions to copper mineralisation

Peel Mining (ASX:PEX) (“Peel”, “the Company”) is pleased to confirm the best copper intercept reported to date at its 60%-owned Wirlong prospect near Cobar in western NSW. The intercept of 17m @ 4.59% Cu and 8g/t Ag from 738m was returned from drillhole WLRRCDD043 and has extended the down-dip continuity of strong copper mineralisation at Wirlong to ~600m below surface.

Drilling

Drillhole WLRCDD043 intersected very strong copper mineralisation comprising 17m @ 4.59% Cu, 8 g/t Ag from 738m , extending the down-dip continuity of strong copper mineralisation to ~600m below surface. Significant assay intervals for WLRCDD043 are included in Table 2 below. The true width of mineralisation is interpreted to be ~14m. Logging and assaying of the mineralisation shows very pure chalcopyrite with only minor accessory pyrrhotite and pyrite sulphides.

Significantly, a substantial “offhole” downhole electromagnetic geophysical anomaly centred north of WLRCDD043 points to possible extensions to substantial copper mineralisation. The encouraging indications from WLRCDD043 prompted the decision to drill another hole, WLRCDD044, testing downdip from WLRCDD043, which is continuing at the time of reporting.

Phase four investigations at Wirlong commenced in late 2016. The most recent drilling at Wirlong has seen the completion of five RC drillholes (WLRC038 to WLRC042 for 2,150m) and one RC precollar/diamond tail drillhole (WLRCDD043 for 891.6m). The majority of the programme (drillholes WLRC038-WLRC042) was designed to test for mineralisation along strike from recent important copper intersections and, encouragingly, all drillholes intersected copper mineralisation (see ASX announcement 21 March 2017).

Drillhole WLRCDD043 was designed to test for mineralisation at ~600m below surface, down dip of previous high-grade intersections including: 4.9m @ 4.3% Cu, 13 g/t Ag from 402.1m and 22m @ 1.0% Cu, 4 g/t Ag from 332m in WLRCDD015; 9m @ 8.0% Cu, 17 g/t Ag, 0.21 g/t Au from 616m and 38m @ 1.18% Cu, 4 g/t Ag from 450m in WLDDD001; 26m @ 1.21% Cu, 5 g/t Ag from 227m in WLRCDD024 and 9m @ 3.29% Cu, 0.60% Zn, 18 g/t Ag from 70m in WLRC035 .

Testing for Cobar-style mineralisation at Wirlong

The recent drilling at Wirlong is part of ongoing investigations into the potential for Peel’s NSW tenure to host Cobar-style deposits. Cobar-style deposits are renowned for vertical continuity of mineralisation. Australia’s highest grade copper mine, the CSA mine, is an example of a Cobar-style deposit, showing strong vertical development of mineralisation to more ~2,000m below surface. CSA has produced over one million tonnes of copper since commencement of modern mining in ~1965. Whilst substantively more investigation is required, indications of a Cobar-style analogue for Wirlong are promising.

Peel Mining Cobar Background

Peel Mining Ltd has been active in the Cobar Superbasin since March 2010. In that time, Peel has grown to become NSW’s predominant greenfield’s explorer, gaining the largest single company holding in the Cobar Superbasin.

The Mallee Bull Project/CBH JV (50% Peel) is centred on the namesake Mallee Bull copper deposit, discovered in August 2011. Mallee Bull represents one of the highest grade, undeveloped copper resources in Australia with a maiden resource estimate published in May 2014:

Cut off
CuEq %
Category Kt Grade Grade
CuEq Cu % _Ag g/t _ _Aug/t _
1.0 Indicated 620 2.22 1.73 29.0 0.54
Inferred 3,300 2.8 2.4 32 0.3
Total 3,920 2.7 2.3 32 0.3

Upcoming activities at Mallee Bull are to include T1 met-testwork and scoping; as well as a resource update.

Peel (CSP) Pty Ltd/JOGMEC JV (Peel 60%; JOGMEC earning up to 50%) comprises 15 tenements covering ~2,500 sqkm. JOGMEC is earning up to 50% by up to $7m expenditure. Investigations so far have resulted in the discovery of a significant copper mineralised system at the Wirlong prospect. Wirlong has received minimal modern exploration and is defined by >2 km strike of sheared volcanics and sediments; large multi-element soil geochemical anomalies; and coincident/semi-coincident geophysical anomalies (K/Th radiometric, magnetic, IP, EM, gravity)

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 tool.
Portable XRF tools 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

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.
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,

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.

 Assaying of samples in the field was by
portable XRF instrument Olympus Delta
Innov-X Analyser. Reading time was 20
seconds per reading with a total 3 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 picked
up after 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 usinga test stand. The

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:

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, a volcanic-hosted massive
sulphide (VHMS) deposit, 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. This
sequence
faces
northwest,
strikes
northeast-southwest and dips range from
moderate westerly, to vertical, and locally
overturned to the east. Mineralisation

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 collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above
sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o 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.
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
 No other substantive exploration data are
available.
