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

  • 10m @ 2.3 g/t Au from 80m

  • 13.9m @ 12.4% Pb, 1.3% Zn, 64 g/t Ag, 2 g/t Au from 118.2m

  • 9m @ 4.9% Pb, 3.1% Zn, 1.1 g/t Au from 118m

In 2016, Peel acquired 100% of the Wagga Tank licences in a non-dilutive acquisition for $40k and 2% NSR. No significant exploration including drilling has occurred since 1989. In late 2016, Peel commenced a maiden 18drillhole programme designed to confirm historic drill data; highlights have included:

  • 27m @ 10.00% Zn, 6.41% Pb, 89 g/t Ag, 0.42 g/t Au, 0.21% Cu from 240m

  • 17m @ 2.65 g/t Au, 0.54% Cu, 11 g/t Ag from 211m (eoh)

  • 16m @ 3.27 g/t Au, 0.35% Cu, 1.1% Zn, 0.57% Pb, 12 g/t Ag from 226m

  • 13m @ 3.34 g/t Au, 0.83% Cu, 0.77% Zn, 0.28% Pb, 20 g/t Ag from 299m

  • 15m @ 8.5% Zn, 4.11% Pb, 114 g/t Ag, 1.57 g/t Au, 0.3% Cu from 280m

  • 12m @ 3.09% Cu, 97 g/t Ag, 1.36 g/t Au from 92m

  • 8m @ 8.54% Zn, 6.20% Pb, 134 g/t Ag, 1.45% Cu from 173m

  • 25m @ 1.07% Cu, 8 g/t Ag, 0.27 g/t Au from 208m

  • 33m @ 1.01% Cu, 0.27 g/t Au from 120m

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. 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.
• 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

AES, with an appropriate Ore Grade base
metal AA finish
o ME-MS61 48 element 4 acid digest ICP-
MS and ICP-AES, with an appropriate Ore

• Assaying of samples in the field was by
portable XRF instruments: Olympus Delta
Innov-X or Olympus Vanta Analysers.
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.
• 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:
o Peel Mining Ltd
o Address of Laboratory
o Sample range
• Detailed records are kept of all samples
that are dispatched, including details of
chain of custody.
Audits
or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
• Data is validated when loading into the
database. No formal external audit has
been conducted.

between 1989 and 2016.
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 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’). _
• 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.
