Peel Mining (ASX:PEX) ("Peel" or the "Company") is pleased to report that recent results from its 100% owned Wagga Tank/Southern Nights project, south of Cobar in western New South Wales, reinforce the view that it has discovered a major high-grade zinc-rich mineral system. Assay results recently received from drilling undertaken prior to the Christmas/New Year break underscore the extensive and high-grade nature of zinc-lead-silver-gold mineralisation present at the Southern Nights prospect.

As previously reported, a diamond tail extension to drillhole WTRCDD033 intersected spectacular massive sphalerite-galena sulphide mineralisation. Assay results have confirmed that WTRCDD033 ranks as Peel's best-ever drillhole intercept, having returned 46m @ 17.01% Zn, 9.57% Pb, 272 g/t Ag, 1.22 g/t Au from 201m. This mineralisation is in addition to that previously reported – 92m @ 2.81% Zn, 0.98% Pb, 19 g/t Ag, 0.2 g/t Au from 108m, including 9m @ 8.84% Zn, 2.07% Pb, 14 g/t Ag, 0.58 g/t Au from 188m (see ASX announcement 30 October 2017).

Following a shutdown for the Christmas/New Year holidays, field activities have recommenced. Drilling at Southern Nights is continuing, with two double shift diamond rigs currently working. First-pass RC drilling at Fenceline/The Bird prospect, located ~5km east of Wagga Tank/Southern Nights, has also recently commenced, while a fourth RC/diamond rig has resumed drilling at the Wirlong prospect (JOGMEC Farm-in/JV). In addition, 2 geophysical crews (IP and gravity) are working in the Wagga Tank/ Southern Nights area.

In-line with recent results, Peel has begun planning for a systematic resource drill-out of the Southern Nights area. First pass metallurgical testwork is also anticipated to commence over the coming weeks.

Southern Nights Drilling

Southern Nights, located ~1km south of the high-grade (Zn-Pb-Ag-Au-Cu) Wagga Tank deposit, was identified in September 2017 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 22 January, 33 RC drillholes (for 7,448m), 13 RC/diamond drillholes (for 4,660.3m), 1 diamond drillhole (for 315.4m), and 103 RAB drillholes (for 8,637m) had been completed as part of this program. At least 12 RC drillholes require diamond tails.

An expanded drilling programme at Southern Nights commenced in November 2017, with multiple RAB, RC and diamond rigs. 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. RAB drilling has extended the strike of Zn-Pb anomalism to ~2.7km, with mineralisation open in all directions.

Interpretation of drilling at Southern Nights indicates a sub-vertical mineralised system, with a likely steep (70-80 degrees) westerly dip which implies true widths of between approximately 30-50% of the downhole intervals reported for all west-oriented (270 degree collar azimuth) drillholes, and between 70-90% for east-oriented (085/090 degree collar azimuth) drillholes. The most recent significant assay results received from Southern Nights to date are shown in Table 1 on the following page. Previously released significant results are listed in Table 2.

Next Steps

RC and diamond drilling at the Wagga Tank/Southern Nights project (including Fenceline/The Bird) has recommenced with up to 15,000m of RC/diamond drilling and up to 10,000m of RAB drilling planned over the coming months. Drilling will be designed for: resource estimation purposes; to continue to test for strike and dip extensions; and to test other targets in the general Wagga Tank area. Additional airborne and surface geophysical surveys are also planned to assist with targeting. First-pass metallurgical testwork is also planned.

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 at Wagga Tank comprises a near surface oxide gold zone, a possible supergene-enriched copper-gold-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

Table 1 - Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data for Mallee Bull/Cobar Superbasin/Wagga Tank Projects

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Samplingtechniques Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels,random chips, or specific specialised industrystandard measurement tools appropriate to theminerals under investigation, such as down holegamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).These examples should not be taken as limiting thebroad meaning of sampling.Include reference to measures taken to ensuresamplerepresentivityandtheappropriatecalibration of any measurement tools or systemsused.Aspects of the determination of mineralisation thatare Material to the Public Report.In cases where 'industry standard' work has beendone this would be relatively simple (eg 'reversecirculation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samplesfrom which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 gcharge for fire assay'). In other cases moreexplanation may be required, such as where there iscoarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (egsubmarine nodules) may warrant disclosure ofdetailed information. Diamond and reverse circulation (RC)drilling were used to obtain samples forgeological logging and assaying.Diamond core was cut and sampled at 1mintervals. RC drill holes were sampled at1m intervals and split using a cone splitterattached to the cyclone to generate a splitof 2-4kg to ensure sample representivity.Multi-element readings were taken of thediamond core and RC drill chips using anOlympusDeltaInnov-XportableXRFmachine or an Olympus Vanta portableXRF machine. Portable XRF machines areroutinely serviced, calibrated and checkedagainst blanks/standards.
Drillingtechniques Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-holehammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc)and details (eg core diameter, triple or standardtube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit orother type, whether core is oriented and if so, bywhat method, etc). Drilling to date has been a combination ofdiamond, reverse circulation and rotary airblast. Reverse circulation drilling utilised a5 1/2 inch diameter hammer. A blade bitwas predominantly used for RAB drilling.NQ and HQ coring was used for diamonddrilling.
