ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
VERY HIGH-GRADE MINERALISATION CONTINUES TO GROW AT SOUTHERN NIGHTS
-
Drillholes WTRCDD153 and WTRCDD157 return very high-grade zinc-lead-silver assays:
-
15m @ 12.35% Zn, 6.13% Pb, 0.56% Cu, 128 g/t Ag, 0.6 g/t Au from 356m (incl. 7.64m @ 17.59% Zn, 10.36% Pb, 0.73% Cu, 211 g/t Ag, 0.62 g/t Au from 356m) in WTRCDD153
-
11m @ 28.35% Zn, 14.84% Pb, 0.46% Cu, 380 g/t Ag, 1.56 g/t Au from 218m in WTRCDD157
-
Drillhole WTRCDD166 intercepts new high-grade mineralisation at ~320m below surface, expanding the down dip continuity of mineralisation; assays pending
-
Close-spaced infill drilling to better define the geometry and scale of the target zone continuing
Peel Mining Limited (ASX:PEX) (“Peel” or the “Company”) reports important new drilling results from its 100%-owned Wagga Tank project, south of Cobar in western New South Wales. The Wagga Tank project, which includes the Southern Nights prospect, is emerging as one of the most significant zinc polymetallic discoveries in Australia in recent years.
Drillholes WTRCDD157 and WTRCDD153, designed to test down-dip from drillhole WTRCDD150 ( 18.2m @ 40.3% Zn, 15.7% Pb, 0.97% Cu, 356 g/t Ag and 2.77 g/t Au from 182m ) returned new sphalerite-galena-chalcopyrite-pyrite rich massive sulphides. Recently received assay results confirm new very high-grade mineralisation with drillhole WTRCDD153 returning 15m @ 12.35% Zn, 6.13% Pb, 0.56% Cu, 128 g/t Ag, 0.6 g/t Au from 356m (incl. 7.64m @ 17.59% Zn, 10.36% Pb, 0.73% Cu, 211 g/t Ag, 0.62 g/t Au from 356m) and drillhole WTRCDD157 returning 11m @ 28.35% Zn, 14.84% Pb, 0.46% Cu, 380 g/t Ag, 1.56 g/t Au from 218m.
Drillholes WTRCDD153 and WTRCDD157 were drilled approximately 170m and 35m downdip respectively of WTRCDD150, confirming continuity of zinc-rich mineralisation at depth. Assays for significant copper mineralised zones in both drillholes remain pending. Also, of importance, recently completed drillhole WTRCDD166, designed to test ~40m north (along strike) of WTRCDD153 at below 300m below surface, encountered a new zone of massive through to stringer/breccia sphaleritegalena-pyrite rich sulphide mineralisation from ~366m to ~398m downhole. See Figure 4 for images.
Geological logging and portable XRF analyses indicate the interval returned from WTRCDD166 contains very high-grade zinc-lead-silver mineralisation and adds further support to Peel’s belief that an important zone of very high-grade mineralisation exists in the Central Southern Nights Zone. As previously reported, Peel is now targeting this area with close-spaced infill drilling to better define its geometry and scale.
Drilling currently underway is part of an approximate 20,000m RC and diamond drilling programme designed to enable the completion of a maiden JORC-compliant mineral resource estimate by end fiscal 2018/19. The programme is also designed to test for extensions to the mineralised system, which remains open along strike and at depth. Two multi-purpose (RC/diamond) drill rigs are now drilling on a double shift (24/7) basis, to systematically infill and extend the current 2km long footprint of the Wagga Tank-Southern Nights mineral system.

Southern Nights Central Zone
Drilling by Peel at the Wagga Tank project has defined a greater than 2km long mineralised structure hosting significant zinc-lead-silver-gold-copper mineralisation. The Southern Nights Central Zone has returned the most significant zinc-rich mineralised intercepts to date, and the intercepts returned from WTRCDD150, WTRCDD153, WTRCDD157 and WTRCDD166, when coupled with adjacent intercepts highlights the presence of an important zone of very high-grade mineralisation. The true widths of mineralisation encountered in WTRCDD150, WTRCDD153, WTRCDD157 and WTRCDD166 are estimated at about 70-80% of the downhole widths. The mineralised zone is thought to be steep westerly dipping; covering up to ~180m strike and has been defined from ~120m below surface to ~350m below surface.
High-grade drillhole intercepts returned from this area can be found in the Table 1 below:

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 (sericite-chlorite with local silicification). Mineralisation is believed to sub-vertical in nature.
Mineralisation at Wagga Tank comprises a near surface oxide gold zone, a possible supergene-enriched coppergold-silver 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:
-
32m @ 3.00 g/t Au, 24 g/t Ag from 10m
-
20m @ 3.11 g/t Au, 63 g/t Ag from 28m
-
30m @ 1.93 g/t Au 24 g/t Ag from 8m
-
25.9m @ 8.74% Zn, 3.39% Pb, 82 g/t Ag from 141.6m
-
15.7m @ 10.39% Zn, 4.43% Pb, 69 g/t Ag from 215.6m
-
18.15m @ 5.86% Zn, 3.00% Pb, 32 g/t Ag, 1.01 g/t Au from 222.85m
-
24m @2.73% Cu, 0.56 g/t Au, 13 g/t Ag from 86m
-
20.3m @ 2.17% Cu, 0.76 g/t Au, 9 g/t Ag from 184.4m
-
13.55m @ 4.6% Cu, 1.14 g/t Au, 470 g/t Ag from 119.75m
At Fenceline/The Bird prospect (approx. 4km East of Wagga Tank), a similar geological environment to Wagga Tank is believed to exist, along with significant historic drill intercepts being reported:
-
6m @ 5.4% Zn, 3.9% Pb, 44 g/t Ag, 0.83 g/t Au from 84m
-

JORC Code, 2012 Edition Table 1 Appendices
Table 1 - Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data for Wagga Tank 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 is used to obtain samples for geological logging and assaying. • Diamond core is generally cut and sampled at 1m intervals. RC and RAB drill holes are generally 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 are generally 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. PQ, HQ and NQ coring was/is 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 Wagga Tank have been variable in places and poorer sample recoveries encountered.

| 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. • Logging at Wagga Tank is continuing as drilling proceeds. |
| 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 is generally 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 resplitting 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 control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) andprecision have been established. |
• ALS Laboratory Services is generally 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 styles of mineralisation defined at Wagga Tank: o PUL-23 (Sample preparation code) o Au-AA26 Ore Grade Au 50g FA AA Finish |

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 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 multishot 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 |

| 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. • 6m sample compositing has been applied to RC drilling at Wagga Tank 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. |

| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• Wagga Tank is believed to be a volcanic- hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) or a variant of a 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 westernmost 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 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’). _ |
• Drilling to date indicates a sub-vertical mineralised system, with a steep westerly dip implying true widths of 70-90% of the downhole intervals reported for east- oriented (085/090 degree collar azimuth) drillholes, and between 30-50% for all west-oriented (270 degree collar azimuth) drillholes. |
| 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. |
• Further drilling and geophysical surveying is now underway at the Wagga Tank project. |
