Peel Mining Ltd ( ASX Code: PEX ) (“Peel” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce a maiden JORC 2012 Indicated & Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for its 100% owned Wagga Tank and Southern Nights deposits located in the Cobar Basin of western NSW (Australia).

The MRE provides Peel with a solid foundation to immediately commence Scoping Studies to advance the potential development scenarios at Wagga Tank-Southern Nights. Activities underway at the time of reporting include detailed metallurgical testwork, ongoing geotechnical studies, pre-development environmental baseline work, new geophysical surveys and drill planning targeting potential extensions to mineralisation. The Wagga Tank-Southern Nights mineral system remains open along strike and down dip.

Peel Mining Managing Director Mr Rob Tyson commented:

“The high-grade Maiden Resource at Wagga Tank-Southern Nights is a pleasing addition to Peel’s Cobar Basin assets. Peel’s exceptional exploration team were able to deliver this major resource in less than 2 years from discovery and at a fraction of the cost of many of our peers. A great deal of knowledge has come from this work and the potential for the project to grow is excellent.”

“It is worth noting that the scale of resource at Wagga Tank-Southern Nights is similar to that of other Cobar Basin mines at the time they were brought into production – mines that have gone on to become world-class operations. We now look forward to advancing Wagga Tank-Southern Nights’ development scenario studies to ultimately complement our pending development of Mallee Bull.”

Maiden Resource Estimate

The 2019 Mineral Resource is reported at a 3.5% ZnEq cut-off. The Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Wagga Tank and Southern Nights deposits is reported in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code (2012)).

A Mineral Resource of 4.1Mt @ 5.1% Zn, 1.9% Pb, 71 g/t Ag, 0.28% Cu and 0.32 g/t Au for 210,000t contained Zn, 80,000t contained Pb, 9.5Moz contained Ag, 12,000t contained Cu and 42,000 oz contained Au, or 9.2% ZnEq for 382,000t contained ZnEq, was estimated using a 3.5% ZnEq cut-off. Approximately 28% of the resource tonnage and 45% of the contained metal tonnage was classified at an Indicated level with the respective balances being classified at an Inferred level.

The MRE includes a high-grade estimate of 1.8Mt @ 9.0% Zn, 3.6% Pb, 116 g/t Ag, 0.19% Cu and 0.29 g/t Au, or 15% ZnEq, using a 7% ZnEq cut-off.

290,000t @ 21.4% Zn, 9.1% Pb, 215 g/t Ag, 0.28% Cu, 0.57 g/t Au, or 34.5% ZnEq, occurs as massive sulphide mineralisation at Southern Nights, commencing at 150m below surface.

The Southern Nights-Wagga Tank Maiden Inferred & Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate is the culmination of more than 70,000m of RC and diamond drilling completed by Peel since acquiring the Wagga Tank project in 2016. The bulk of that drilling has been focused on the high-grade Southern Nights deposit following its discovery in late 2017.

The estimate has been completed by independent mining consultants Mining Plus Pty Ltd. Peel Mining accept Competent Person responsibility for the sampling, analytical and data management processes, interpretation and mineralisation modelling and the Mineral Resource Estimation process and outputs.

The discovery cost for the Maiden Mineral Resource of ~US$30 per tonne (US$0.015 per pound) Zinc Equivalent compares very favourably against recent global industry averages of more than US$100 per tonne (US$0.05 per pound) zinc.

Zinc Equivalent

For the reporting of the Mineral Resource Estimate, a 3.5% Zinc Equivalent cut-off grade has been used for an assumed underground mining resource. The Zinc Equivalent grades have been calculated for both the zinc dominated and copper dominated material which contains potentially economic quantities of zinc, lead, copper, gold and silver. The formulas used have been based on the following price assumptions (in Australian dollars): Zinc - A$3,450/t; Copper - A$8,350/t; Lead - A$2,685/t; Gold - A$1,350/oz; Silver - A$20/oz.

The zinc equivalent values have been calculated for each estimated block.

Table 2 – Zinc Equivalent Assumptions

Metal Price A$ Unit Recovery ZnEq Factor
Zinc 3,450 $/t 100%
Copper 8,350 $/t 100% 2.4
Lead 2,685 $/t 100% 0.78
Gold 1,350 $/oz 100% 17680
Silver 20 $/oz 100% 200

Peel Mining have assumed 100% recovery factors for all elements at this early stage in the assessment of the project. In depth metallurgical studies are required to more accurately assess the likely recoveries of the various metals within the resource, however preliminary metallurgical testwork, general observations about the types/styles of mineralisation, and knowledge regarding existing Cobar mining operations provide support for Peel’s assumptions.

Background

The 100%-owned Wagga Tank Project is centred on the Wagga Tank and Southern Nights deposits which are located within the EL6695 tenement on the western edge of the Cobar Superbasin, approximately 130 km South of Cobar. The Wagga Tank project represents a major polymetallic VMSstyle mineral system.

In 2016, Peel acquired 100% of EL6695 from the Joint Venture interests of MMG Australia Limited and Golden Cross Operations Pty Ltd, with MMG receiving $1 consideration and a 2% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty on any future metals production, and Golden Cross receiving $40,000 cash. In October 2018, Peel acquired the 2% NSR delivering 100% unencumbered ownership.

Recent drilling by Peel has established the Southern Nights discovery as one of the most significant zinc polymetallic discoveries in Australia in recent years. Mineralisation at Wagga Tank-Southern Nights has been defined over a 2.2 km strike footprint.

Geology

The Cobar Superbasin is one of several intracratonic basins developed within the Lachlan Orogen during the Silurian/Devonian; it is the richest polymetallic basin in the Lachlan Orogen as evidenced by estimated pre-mining metal inventories: >2.2 million tonnes copper, >7.0 million ounces of gold, >4.7 million tonnes of zinc, >2.8 million tonnes of lead, and 145 million ounces of silver.

Peel believes that the prospectivity of the southern portion of the Cobar Superbasin (the area covered by Peel Mining’s tenements) is extremely high, factoring in the presence of metal-bearing fluids and high strain domains which favour mineral deposits and occurrences; this is supported by the presence of major deposits/mines in the area such as Nymagee, Hera, May Day, Mallee Bull, Mt Hope and Wagga Tank-Southern Nights.

The predominantly sediment-hosted mineralisation in the southern volcanic/volcaniclastics portion of the Wagga Tank-Southern Nights area is characterised by discontinuous, remobilised, en-echelon sulphide lenses hosted within high strain zones close to early Devonian porphyritic intrusives, which are in close proximity to active syn-sedimentary rift faults.

The informal deposit stratigraphy comprises:

  • Eastern Formation : This basal unit comprises massive to thinly bedded shale and minor siltstone, graded bedding is present locally. Collectively the unit has attributes typical of relatively deep marine settings, with the breccias suggesting the presence of proximal unstable shelf/slope areas where episodic collapse was occurring on an occasional basis.

  • Vivigani Formation : Overlying the Eastern Formation and representing a marked change in geological activity with coarse to fine volcaniclastic breccias and sandstones dominating. The basal contact is sharp, reflecting the onset of volcanism in an inferred back arc basin setting.

  • Wagga Tank Mudstone: Cessation of the Vivigani volcanism event is marked by the Wagga Tank Mudstone, comprising thinly bedded shale and subordinate siltstone and calc-siltstone, with common graded bedding, sharp bases, scours and occasional fine cross bedding. These are typical turbidites, with the apparent absence of mass flow breccias perhaps suggesting a more distal setting than existed in Eastern Formation time. The change from Vivigani to Wagga Tank sedimentation can be sharp, but in most drill holes the boundary appears transitional.

One of the most striking features of Vivigani Formation lithologies at Wagga Tank/Southern Nights is the intensity and extent of multi-phase hydrothermal alteration. Dominant styles are chlorite, silica/sericite +/- pyrite, with lesser siderite, calcite, rutile, fluorite and rhodocrosite.

Sulphides are widespread in the Vivigani Formation and at the base of the Wagga Tank mudstone. Pyrite is the dominant sulphide, with subordinate sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena, and minor arsenopyrite. Sulphides occur in a range of styles and settings with resultant implications for exploration and economics. The majority of the sulphides are interpreted as being the product of a major hydrothermal system that developed during deposition of the volcanoclastics, driven by emplacement of an intrusive of probable acid composition (rhyolite/dacite). Waning of the hydrothermal system was related to cooling of the intrusion(s) and cessation of volcanism and is reflected in the change from volcanic (Vivigani) to fine sediment (Wagga Tank Mudstone) dominated regimes.

The highest-grade sulphides at Wagga Tank/Southern Nights occur as finely laminated sphalerite, pyrite, galena and chalcopyrite, mostly in basal Wagga Tank Mudstone but also in the Vivigani/Wagga Tank transition, interbedded with very fine clastic sediments (shale and siltstone). Locally they are cut or disrupted by later discordant stringer pyrite, chalcopyrite, silica and sphalerite veining. The laminated massive sulphides are interpreted as exhalatives, derived from venting of hydrothermal fluids at the sea floor interface, a setting analogous to sulphide deposits developing proximal to “smokers” on the ocean floor today.

The overall pattern of sedimentation, alteration and mineralisation at Wagga Tank/Southern Nights is comparable to many well-known volcanic hosted massive sulphide deposits (“VHMS”).

Sulphide mineralisation at Wagga Tank/Southern Nights is clearly linked to the Vivigani volcanic event and associated hydrothermal activity, and has attributes closely analogous to other known volcanic hosted massive sulphide deposits. In this context it appears quite different from classical “Cobar type” structurally controlled base and precious metal deposits.

At Wagga Tank/Southern Nights high-grade laminated stratiform massive sulphides hosted in a low energy shale/siltstone sequence overlie a very large intensely silica/sericite/pyrite altered, stockwork stringer sulphide veined zone which developed within permeable volcaniclastic breccias and sandstones. It is inferred that the hydrothermal alteration and mineralisation were driven by a high level intrusive of probable rhyolitic to dacitic composition. In the attached schematic representation, the porphyry has been drawn intruding into lower Vivigani, however emplacement may have been at considerably deeper crustal levels. Cessation of volcanism, but continued (albeit waning) hydrothermal venting, resulted in a change in the character of the sulphide mineralisation from dominantly stringer veining within permeable volcaniclastics to exhalative sea floor massive sulphides with substantially higher metal concentrations.

Drilling

Exploration and Resource Definition drilling has been undertaken using Rotary Air Blast (RAB), Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond Drilling (DD) methods. Often a combination of RC pre-collars with diamond drill tails (RCD) has been used to reduce the cost through the barren overburden. Each prospect has undergone several campaigns of drilling by various companies as outlined in the table below. RAB drilling has not been used in the estimation process.

Drilling and Sampling Techniques

Of the drilling and sampling for the drill holes contained within the MRE for Wagga Tank, 57% of drilling and 66% of sampling has been undertaken by Peel. Drilling and sampling methods during this period are well documented in formal procedures. The sampling procedures used for historical drilling (i.e. 1974-1992) are not known. The maiden drilling undertaken by Peel in 2016 at Wagga Tank aimed at confirming the historical drilling. The drilling successfully returned intercepts and grades similar to those reported in historical drill holes, and in the approximate anticipated locations.

All of the drilling and sampling input into the MRE for Southern Nights has been undertaken by Peel. Drilling and sampling methods during this period are well documented in formal procedures.

RC drilling methods have generally been used for early exploration drilling or as precollars through barren hanging wall. RC sampling was undertaken at the rig via a cone or multitier riffle splitter providing a 3 to 4kg sample. RC samples were taken on 1m intervals. Sample intervals, for submission to the laboratory, were selected based on visual logging and results returned from a portable XRF analyser.

Samples taken from diamond drilling undertaken by Peel, are predominantly of HQ diameter to maximise recovery. Drill core is sampled using half-core on 1m intervals. Sample intervals range from 0.5-1.5m to honour changes in lithology, alteration and mineralisation.

==> picture [155 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

Data detailing the recovery of historical drilling is not available. For the drilling undertaken by Peel, core recovery is measured based on the drill run lengths (actual versus recovered). Southern Nights has 93% of the drill runs returning better than 95% recovery. Wagga Tank is more structurally complex with 88% of the drill runs returning better than 95% recovery.

Assaying

Assay methods for historical drilling (non-Peel) is generally unknown. Analyses undertaken by Peel were completed by ALS Laboratories. Sample preparation was undertaken at ALS Orange using the following process:

  • Crush entire sample nominal >70% passing 6mm;

  • If sample >3kg, riffle split sample to maximum of 3.2Kg and pulverise split in LM5 to 85% passing 75 µm. Retain and bag unpulverised reject (bulk master). If less than 3.2kg, entire sample is pulverised;

with routine assays completed using either:

  • ME-ICP41 analysis, Aqua-regia digest (GEO-AR01) ICP-AES finish performed at ALS Orange. Over-limit assays were then undertaken using ME-OG46 analysis if triggered from above (i.e. Cu, Pb, Zn >1%, Ag >100ppm) Aqua-regia digest (ASY-AR01) with ICPAES finish performed in Brisbane from pulp split. Over-limit sulphur was undertaken with S-IR08 Leco Fusion (>10% S);

  • ME-ICP61 or ME-MS61, 4 acid digest (GEO-4 ACID) ICP-AES finish /ICP-MS finish performed at ALS Brisbane from pulp split. Over-limit assays were then undertaken using ME-OG62 analysis if triggered from above (i.e. Cu, Pb, Zn >1%, Ag >100ppm) 4 acid digest (ASY-4ACID) with ICPAES finish/ICP-MS finish performed in Brisbane from pulp split. Over-limit sulphur was undertaken with S-IR08 Leco Fusion (>10% S).

During all Peel drilling programs, quality control samples such as field duplicates, standards and blanks have been routinely inserted into the sample stream for the monitoring of analysis. ALS also insert their own set of internal quality control samples into every sample lot analysed.

All standards and blanks returned within acceptable limits, and field duplicates showed good correlation.

Original assay files have been imported into the database without manipulation.

Mineralisation Domains

Raw assays for the Wagga Tank and Southern Nights Deposits have been analysed to identify any distinct grade populations within the key elements which can be used during the interpretation and modelling process. Inflection points within the Zn dataset were identified at 17.5%, 4% and 0.3% Zn. These populations broadly conform to logged mineralisation as massive sulphide, semi-massive and stringer sulphide and disseminated sulphide mineralisation styles. Separate domains were generated for the estimation of copper and gold.

Estimation

Data validation, geological interpretation and mineralisation domains have been completed by Peel geologists. During 2019, all data including that pertinent to the 2019 MRE has been transferred to an industry standard database (Geobank) which has robust validation protocols incorporated into it. Independent mining industry consultants Mining Plus Pty Ltd were commissioned to validate the mineralisation domains and generate the Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate. The 2019 maiden MRE block model honours the geological controls on mineralisation and forms a robust platform to grow the deposits in the future.

Estimation of all elements has been completed using ordinary kriging (OK) into 20m (X) by 20m (Y) by 5m (Z) blocks, the dimensions of which were selected following a Kriging Neighbourhood Analysis (KNA). In order for effective boundary definition, a sub-block size of 1m (X) by 1m (Y) by 0.25m (Z) has been used to define the mineralisation edges, with these sub-cells estimated at the parent block scale. Compositing has been undertaken within domain boundaries at 1m with a merge tolerance of 0.1m.

Top-cuts for Zn, Pb, Ag, Cu and Au have been assessed for all mineralised and un-mineralised domains as well as for the internal and external waste domains with only those domains with extreme values having been top-cut. The top-cut levels have been determined using a combination of histograms, log probability and mean variance plots.

Estimation utilised three interpolation passes with each pass using an increased search ellipse size with a decrease in the minimum number of samples required for a block to populate with grade used on subsequent passes.

The Mineral Resource estimate has been validated using visual validation tools combined with volume comparisons with the input wireframes. Mean grade comparisons between the block model and composite and swath plots comparing the composite grades and block model grades by Northing, Easting and RL were undertaken.

No issues material to the reported Mineral Resource have been identified in the validation process.

Classification

The Mineral Resource has been classified in accordance with JORC 2012, based on the confidence in geological continuity, drill hole spacing, data quality and geostatistical measures.

The mineralised blocks that are defined by drill holes spaced closer than 40m by 40m, where there is confidence in the geological and grade continuity, and where the quality of the estimate as defined by the slope of regression is high and where the blocks have been estimated in the first or second search pass have been classified as Indicated Mineral Resources.

The mineralised blocks that are defined by drilling spaced closer than 100m by 100m, where there is confidence in the geological and grade continuity, and where the quality of the estimate as defined by the slope of regression is moderate and the blocks have been estimated in the first, second or third search pass have been classified as Inferred Mineral Resources.

Areas of the deposit that do not meet these criteria remain Unclassified. No Measured Resources have currently been defined.

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.
The following report details the historical data, checks, validation and methodology used to
generate the Mineral Resource Estimates (MRE) for the Wagga Tank and Southern Nights
Deposits. Data for the Wagga Tank and Southern Nights Deposits have been collected over
multiple exploration campaigns by different companies. The majority of the data used for the
MRE however has been collected by Peel Mining as outlined in Table 3 (Page 11).
• A total of 81 drill holes utilising Percussion (P), Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond (DD)
drilling methods have been completed for a total of 20,824m at the Wagga Tank Deposit. Of
this drilling 11,866m (57%) has been completed by Peel Mining between 2016 and 2019.
• A total of 185 drill holes utilising Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond (DD) drilling methods
have been completed for a total of 58,608m at the Southern Nights deposit. Of this drilling
100% has been completed by Peel Mining between 2016 and 2019.
• At Southern Nights, drill holes have been drilled predominantly towards grid east with dips
of approximately 60 degrees to optimally intersect the moderate to steeply west dipping
mineralised zones. For Wagga Tank where mineralised zones are near vertical or slightly east
dipping, drilling is to the west on an azimuth of ~315 and a dip of 60 degrees.
• Field procedures include routine multi-element measurement of the diamond core and RC
drill chips using an Olympus Delta Innov-X portable XRF tool. Portable XRF tools are routinely
serviced and calibrated. Daily checks are performed against blanks/standards. PXRF readings
are not included in the dataset for the MRE but are used to aid the selection of samples for
primary assaying in conjunction with geological logging and neighbouring results.
• RC and RAB drill holes are generally sampled at 1m intervals and split using a cone splitter or
multi-tier riffle splitter attached to the cyclone to generate a split of 2-4kg to provide a
representative sample of the interval. 6 RC drill holes and 7 precollars were sampled using a
spear. Of these speared drill holes, only 2 had significant mineralisation and fall within Wagga
Tank.
• During exploration drilling, every effort is made to ensure all RC samples are drilled dry.
Where this hasn’t been possible samples are logged as wet. For later stage resource
definition drilling, diamond drilling has been used through the mineralised zones.
• Diamond drill core is generally cut and sampled at 1m intervals. The diamond drill core has
been cut longitudinally in half. Sampling was undertaken at predominantly 1m intervals with
a range of 0.5m length to 1.5m length to accommodate changes in geology and
mineralisation.

• Metallurgical samples were taken from half core of one the HQ core samples which
intersected the main mineralisation zone at Southern Nights. Further samples are needed to
provide sufficient variability of the mineralisation to be considered representative.
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
(see Table 3 in body of report).
• Reverse circulation drilling utilised a 5 1/2-inch diameter hammer. A blade bit was
predominantly used for RAB drilling. RC precollars average 150m in length. With diamond
tails generally being between 200 and 400m in length.
• Predominantly HQ with minor PQ and NQ diameter coring has been used for diamond
drilling. For the majority of the drilling triple tube has been used to maximise recovery.
• Core has been orientated predominantly using a REFLEX ACT™ system where data is stored
on the controller and cannot be manipulated. Core samples are matched with orientation
data using a spirit level jig. Diamond core is reconstructed into continuous runs on an angle
iron cradle for orientation. Orientation quality is noted between orientation marks based on
a tolerance. Systematic failures are immediatelyraised with the drillingcontractor.
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.
• RC and RAB samples are not weighed on a regular basis due to the exploration or precollar
nature of drilling. Minor campaigns of weighing RC bags have been undertaken however no
detailed assessment on RC recovery has been conducted.
• Diamond drilling is typically undertaken using HQ triple tube methods to maximise recovery.
• Core recoveries are recorded by the drillers in the field at the time of drilling by measuring
the actual distance drilled for a drill run against the actual core recovered. This measurement
is checked by a geologist or technician.
• 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.
• For Wagga Tank, of the total recovery dataset for which assays exist, 92% are reported as
having greater than or equal to 95% recovery. This drops from 92% to 73% for grade intervals
greater than 4% Zinc which generally defines the main mineralisation zone. Allowance for
the poorer recoveries in the main mineralisation have been accounted for in classification of
the Wagga Tank Resource.
• For Southern Nights, of the total recovery dataset for which assays exist, 96% are reported
as having greater than or equal to 95%recovery. This drops from 96%to 89%forgrade

intervals greater than 4% Zinc which generally defines the main mineralisation zone. These
recoveries are considered acceptable.
• For samples with greater than or equal to 1% Zn, 94% are reported as having 90% or better
recovery.
• Analysis for diamond core indicates that there is no observed relationship between zinc
grade and recoveryand no correction or weightingfactors were required.
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 drill core and drill chip samples are qualitatively geologically and quantitatively
geotechnically, geochemically and structurally logged from surface to the bottom of each
individual hole to a level of detail to support Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies
and metallurgical studies.
• All logging of diamond core, RC and RAB samples records lithology, alteration,
mineralisation, structure (DDH only), weathering, colour and other features of the interval
important for defining the location of the drillhole within the mineralised system.
• All drill core and chip trays are photographed as both wet and dry.
• Where core samples are orientated, drill core is logged for geotechnical and structural
information by measuring alpha and beta angles accompanied by a description of the feature
being logged.
• Bulk density by Archimedes principle are taken at regular intervals (~2 every core tray).
• Magnetic susceptibilityis recorded at 1m intervals.

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 cut with a core saw with half core taken for analysis. Sampling is consistent on
one side of the orientation line so that the same part of the core is sent for analysis.
• The RC and RAB drilling rigs were equipped with a cone or multitier riffle splitter attached to
the cyclone. The splitter provided one bulk sample of approximately 20kg and a sub-sample
of 2- 4kg per metre drilled.
• Bulk samples were placed in green plastic bags, with the sub-samples collected placed in
calico sample bags.
• Core duplicates have been taken at the laboratory at specified intervals after crushing to a
nominal >70% passing 6mm. Field duplicates for RC were collected directly from the splitter
at the time of sampling or later by resplitting the bulk samples from large plastic bags using
a spear. Scatter and HARD plots were used to assess the performance of duplicate samples.
For most elements more than 90% of the samples returned less than 10% HARD which
indicates sampling quality and size is appropriate. Analysis of gold showed poorer
performance with around 80% of samples returning less than 10% HARD. This is still
considered satisfactory considering the higher variability normally associated with gold.
• No sample nomogram analysis has been undertaken however the sample volumeprovided

• Analysis methods used for historical drilling is not known.
• ALS Laboratory Services located in Orange NSW, was generally used for sample preparation,
Au and multi-element analysis work. Requirements for Sulphur by Leco or multi-element 4
Acid digest was undertaken at ALS Brisbane.
The laboratory preparation and analysis methods below are for all samples submitted to ALS by
Peel and are considered appropriate determination of the economic minerals and styles of
mineralisation defined at Wagga Tank. Sample preparation was undertaken at ALS Orange using
the following process:
• Crush entire sample nominal >70% passing 6mm;
• If sample > 3kg, Riffle split sample to maximum of 3.2Kg and pulverise split in LM5 to 85%
passing 75 µm. Retain and bag unpulverised reject (bulk master). If sample < 3.2kg, entire
sample is pulverised;
Routine assays were completed using either:
• ME-ICP41 analysis, Aqua-regia digest (GEO-AR01) ICP-AES finish performed at ALS Orange.
Over-limit assays were then undertaken using ME-OG46 analysis if triggered from above (i.e.
Cu, Pb, Zn >1%, Ag >100ppm) Aqua-regia digest (ASY-AR01) with ICPAES finish performed in
Brisbane from pulp split. Over-limit sulphur was undertaken with S-IR08 Leco Fusion (>10%
S).
• ME-ICP61 or ME-MS61, 4 acid digest (GEO-4 ACID) ICP-AES finish /ICP-MS finish performed
at ALS Brisbane from pulp split. Over-limit assays were then undertaken using ME-OG62
analysis if triggered from above (i.e. Cu, Pb, Zn >1%, Ag >100ppm) 4 acid digest (ASY-4ACID)
with ICP-AES finish / ICP-MS finish performed in Brisbane from pulp split. Over-limit sulphur
was undertaken with S-IR08 Leco Fusion (>10% S).
• 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. At least one daily calibration check was performed using standards and
blanks to ensure the analyser was operating within factory specifications. The XRF readings
are only used as indicative and assist with the selection of sample intervals for laboratory
analysis.
• QC samples were inserted in the form of Certified Reference Materials, blanks (sand and
coarse) and duplicates. CRM and blanks are inserted at the rate of at least 1 blank and

every 20 samples. The duplicate rate for drill core varies as they are inserted by geologists
to cover low, medium and high grade zones. These duplicates are split at the laboratory after
the crushing stage. At a minimum there is one duplicate every 20 samples. Through high
grade zones, additional blank lab wash is requested with analysis randomly selected on these
washes by Peel to monitor cross contamination.
• Performance of standards for monitoring the accuracy, precision and reproducibility of the
assay results received from ALS have been reviewed. The standards generally performed well
with results falling within prescribed two standard deviation limits and only random
occurrences outside of these limits.
• The performance of the pulp and coarse blanks have been within acceptable limits with no
significant evidence of cross contamination identified.
• ALS laboratories undertake internal QC checks to monitor performance. The results of these
are available to view on ALS Webtrieve™(an ALS online dataplatform).
Verification

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 significant intersections have been verified by senior staff.
• Two twin drill holes were drilled into the main mineralisation at Southern Nights. Twin drill
holes were within 5m of the original hole in both cases. Minor differences in analytical
methods used introduced an element of error but both drill holes showed good repeatability
in both thickness and average grade through the main zone.
• Most of the drilling undertaken by Peel involved the logging of geological and sampling
information into excel spreadsheets. These spreadsheets were then validated and imported
into a customized SQL database at the Peel head office. During 2019 data was transferred
into a Geobank database. Logging is now undertaken via Geobank Mobile. The main
database resides in the Peel Perth office with a syncronised version available at the site
office. Any issues identified by the Database Administrator is raised with site staff to rectify.
• No adjustments of assaydata are considered necessary.

• A Garmin hand-held GPS is used to define the location of the planned drill collars. 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.
• Periodically throughout the drilling program, collars have been accurately located using a
DGPS by a surveying contractor. 14 drill holes from the most recent program have not been
surveyed prior to the MRE being completed.
• Down-hole surveys are conducted by the drill or surveying contractors using either a Champ

• Grid system used is MGA 94 (Zone 55).
• Attempts to locate and survey the collars of historical drill holes in Wagga Tank was
undertaken. Not all drill holes could be located. The locations of drill holes which could not
be found have been calculated via grid transformations off old maps.
• The method of downhole surveys for historical drilling is unknown.
• A topographical surface has been generated from the DGPS surveys of drill collars. The
terrain of the project area is flat and topographical control is considered appropriate for the

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.

Drill holes covering the areas covered by the MREs are drilled predominantly on a 20x20m
or 40x40m grid spacing. Wider spacing occurs at the extremities and at depth in the MRE
area.

The data density is sufficient to demonstrate grade continuity to support a Mineral
Resource estimate (MRE) under the 2012 JORC code.

Physical compositing to 6m of some RC and precollars has occurred predominantly for the
exploratory analysis of gold. If anomalous gold values have been encountered 1m sampling
is then undertaken.
Orientation

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.

The nature and controls on mineralisation at the Wagga Tank and Southern Nights deposits
are considered to be well understood in the area of the MRE.

Drill holes at Southern Nights are predominantly drilled towards the east at an average dip
of 60 degrees to optimally intersect the moderate to steeply west dipping north south
striking mineralised zones.

Drill holes at Wagga Tank are predominantly drilled towards the west at an average dip of
60 degrees to optimally intersect the sub-vertical to slightly east dipping north-north east
south-south west striking mineralised zones.

Based on the current understanding sampling is considered to be unbiased with respect to
drill hole orientation versus strike and dipof mineralisation.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. The predominantly sediment-hosted mineralisation in the southern volcanic/volcaniclastics
portion of the Wagga Tank-Southern Nights area is characterised by discontinuous, remobilised,
en-echelon sulphide lenses hosted within high strain zones close to early Devonian porphyritic
intrusives, which are in close proximity to active syn-sedimentary rift faults. The informal deposit
stratigraphy comprises:

Eastern Formation: this basal unit comprises rather massive to thinly bedded shale and
minor siltstone, graded bedding is present locally. Collectively the unit has attributes typical
of relatively deep marine settings, with the breccias suggesting the presence of proximal
unstable shelf/slope areas where episodic collapse was occurring on an occasional basis.

Vivigani Formation: overlies the Eastern Formation and marks a striking change with coarse
to fine volcaniclastic breccias and sandstones dominating. The basal contact is sharp,
reflecting the onset of volcanism in an inferred back arc basin setting.

Wagga Tank Mudstone: Cessation of the Vivigani volcanism event is marked by Wagga Tank
Mudstone, comprising thin bedded shale and subordinate siltstone and calc-siltstone, with
common graded bedding, sharp bases, scours and occasional fine cross bedding. These are
typical turbidites, with the apparent absence of mass flow breccias perhaps suggesting a
more distal setting than existed in Eastern Formation time. The change from Vivigani to
Wagga Tank sedimentation can be sharp, but in most drill holes the boundary appears
transitional.

One of the most strikingfeatures of Vivigani Formation rocks at Wagga Tank/Southern

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Nights is the intensity and extent of multi-phase hydrothermal alteration. Dominant styles
are chlorite, silica/sericite +/- pyrite, with lesser siderite, calcite, rutile, fluorite and
rhodocrosite.

Sulphides are widespread in Vivigani Formation and at the base of the Wagga Tank
mudstone. Pyrite is the dominant sulphide, with lesser sphalerite, chalcopyrite and galena,
arsenopyrite is also commonly present at minor levels. Sulphides occur in a range of styles
and settings with resultant implications for exploration and economics. The majority of the
sulphides are interpreted as being the product of a major hydrothermal system that
developed during deposition of the volcanoclastics, driven by emplacement of an intrusive
of probable acid composition (rhyolite/dacite). Waning of the hydrothermal system was
related to cooling of the intrusion(s) and cessation of volcanism and is reflected in the
change from volcanic (Vivigani) to fine sediment (Wagga Tank Mudstone) dominated
regimes.

The highest grade sulphides at Wagga Tank/Southern Nights occur as finely laminated
sphalerite, pyrite, galena and chalcopyrite, mostly in basal Wagga Tank Mudstone but also
in the Vivigani/Wagga Tank transition, interbedded with very fine clastic sediments (shale
and siltstone). Locally they are cut or disrupted by later discordant stringer pyrite,
chalcopyrite, silica and sphalerite veining. The laminated massive sulphides are interpreted
as exhalatives, derived from venting of hydrothermal fluids at the sea floor interface, a
setting analogous to sulphide deposits developing proximal to “smokers” on the ocean floor
today.

The overall pattern of sedimentation, alteration and mineralisation at WT/SN is comparable
to many well-known volcanic hosted massive sulphide deposits (“VHMS”).

Sulphide mineralisation at Wagga Tank/Southern Nights is clearly linked to the Vivigani
volcanic event and associated hydrothermal activity, and has attributes closely analogous
to other known volcanic hosted massive sulphide deposits. In this context it appears quite

Database integrity Measures taken to ensure that data has not been
corrupted by, for example, transcription or keying
errors, between its initial collection and its use for
Mineral Resource estimation purposes.
Data validation procedures used.
• The database of historical data has been validated by reconciling all available hardcopy
drill logs and assay results. This data has been reviewed in 3D against drilling undertaken
by Peel.
• Prior to 2019, geological and field data was entered into Microsoft Excel spreadsheets
with lookup tables and fixed formatting. Data was then imported into a customised SQL
database with validation undertaken on import. For 2019 data, Geobank mobile has been
used for the collection of data. Data is validated during entry into Geobank with further
validation undertaken during synchronisation with the main database.
• Assay data is imported directly from original lab files into the previous SQL database and
now into Geobank with no prior manipulation of results.
• The Peel SQL database and recent Geobank database have robust validation and
constraints incorporated into them to ensure validated data is readily available for fit for
purpose use. The database is managed by a database administrator employed by Peel
Mining.
• The construction and estimation of the Wagga Tank and Southern Nights block models
have been undertaken by Mining Plus Pty Ltd.
• A complete drilling database has been supplied by Peel Mining to Mining Plus in the form
of csv files extracted from a Geobank Database.
• Mining Plus has undertaken a high-level review of all files for syntax, duplicate values,
from and to depth errors and EOH collar depths.
• Data validation processes are in place and run upon import into the database to be used
for the MRE in Maptek Vulcan Software v 11.0.1 byMiningPlus.

mineralisation is located above this oxidation surface and has not been considered as part
of this MRE.
• The data used in the geological model is a combination of diamond core and RC drilling.
• Only minor surface exposures of the host lithologies and structures occurs at Wagga Tank.
Southern Nights is hidden under Tertiary cover.
• The mineralisation is interpreted to be closely associated with strong alteration zones,
although the logging of these is not currently consistent enough to enable confidence to
create an alteration model. Further work on the logging of alteration is planned.
• The base metal mineralisation at Southern Nights has been interpreted to be located sub-
parallel to the stratigraphy which dips at between 60-70 degrees to the west.
• The base metal mineralisation at Wagga Tank is more structurally complex and has been
interpreted to be sub-vertical with a slight dip to the east in some places. Due to the
structural complexity, the deposit comprises generally thin, discontinuous lenses of base
metal mineralisation.
• Due to the multi-element nature of the mineralisation at Wagga Tank and Southern
Nights, element correlation analysis has been undertaken to determine which elements
can be grouped together with Zn for modelling purposes and which ones need to be
modelled and estimated separately. Analysis indicates that the correlation between the
other elements of economic significance, namely Pb, Ag, S is adequate to enable
estimation inside the primary zinc mineralisation domains. Copper and gold showed a
weak correlation and a separate domain for the estimation of these elements has been
created. Due to what is interpreted to be later epithermal mineralisation over-printing
earlier phases of mineralisation, further work is needed to separate this phase of
mineralisation which may improve the gold estimation in areas.
• The length weighted raw assays for the Wagga Tank and Southern Nights Deposits were
analysed by Peel and used to identify distinct grade populations within the key elements
which can be used during the interpretation and modelling process.
• Inflection points within the Zn dataset have been identified at 0.3%, 4% and 17.5% Zn.
These grades can be broadly correlated with visually logged mineralisation styles. As such,
these grades have been used as the basis for the interpretation and modelling process.
• For the copper-gold domains, inflection points were identified at 0.15% Cu and 1.5%
copper. Wireframes were created for 0.15% Cu however the inability to create
continuous zones between drill holes for the higher 1.5% cut-off precluded it from use.

• Grade estimation for Zn ppm, Pb ppm, Ag g/t, S %, Cu ppm Au g/t and Fe % has been
completed using Ordinary Kriging (OK) into 18 separate Zn dominant domains and 29
separate Cu dominant domains using Maptek Vulcan 11.0.1 software. Zn domains have
been estimated for Zn, Pb, Ag and S. Cu Domains have been estimated for Cu, Au and Fe
after review of assay correlation matrices.
• Ordinary Kriging has been used as the interpolation technique to estimate the Mineral
Resource with this method considered appropriate given the nature of mineralisation and
mineralisation configuration.
• The geological, mineralisation and weathering wireframes generated have been
individually coded into the block model. Zn domain and Cu domains have been used to
estimate the appropriate assay data. The drill holes have been flagged with the domain
code and composited using the domain code to segregate the data. Hard boundaries have
been used at all domain boundaries for the grade estimation.
• Compositing has been undertaken within domain boundaries at 1m with a merge
tolerance of 0.1m. The majority of the samples within the Wagga Tank and Southern
Nights mineralised domains are at the selected composite length of 1m.
• Top-cuts for Zn, Pb, Ag, Cu and Au have been assessed for all mineralised and un-
mineralised domains as well as for the internal and external waste domains with only
those domains with extreme values having been top-cut. The top-cut levels have been
determined using a combination of histograms, log probability and mean variance plots.
• Variography has been completed in Supervisor 8.9 software on a grouped domain basis
to ensure that enough data ispresent. Domains with too few samples have borrowed

• The drillhole data spacing ranges from 40m by 40m, to a 100m by 100m resource

• Kriging Neighbourhood Analysis (KNA) has been undertaken on the mineralisation
domains to determine the most appropriate block size and interpolation parameters to
apply during the block modelling process.
• The KNA indicated a parent block size of 20m (X) by 20 m (Y) by 5 m (Z) be applied to the
deposit. The block size selected is considered appropriate for the drill spacing. In order
for effective boundary definition, a sub-block size of 1m (X) by 1m (Y) by 0.25m (Z) has
been used to define the mineralisation edges, with these sub-cells estimated at the
parent block scale.
• No assumptions have been made regarding selective mining units.
• The interpolations have been constrained within the mineralisation wireframes and
undertaken in three passes with the mineralisation wireframes utilised as hard-
boundaries during the estimation.
• Estimation utilised 3 interpolation passes with each pass using an increased search ellipse
size with a decrease in the minimum number of samples required for a block to populate
with grade used on subsequent passes:
o
Pass 1 estimations have been undertaken using a minimum of 6 and a
maximum of 32 samples into a search set at approximately half of the
variogram range. A 2 sample per drillhole limit has been applied in all
mineralised domains.
o
Pass 2 estimations have been undertaken using a minimum of 4 and a
maximum of 32 samples into a search ellipse set at approximately the
variogram range. A 2 sample per drillhole limit has been applied in all
mineralised domains.
o
Pass 3 estimations have been undertaken using a minimum of 2 and a
maximum of 32 samples into a search ellipse set at twice the Search 2
range. No drillhole limit has been applied to the third pass.
• The Mineral Resource estimate has been validated using visual validation tools combined
with volume comparisons with the input wireframes, mean grade comparisons between
the block model and composite grade means and swath plots comparing the composite
grades and block model grades by Northing, Easting and RL.
• No mining has taken place of the Wagga Tank and Southern Nights Deposits, hence no
reconciliation data is available for validation.

o
Copper - $8,350/t
o
Lead - $2,685/t
o
Gold - $1,350/oz
o

• In depth metallurgical studies are required to more accurately assess the likely recoveries
of the various metals within the resource, however preliminary metallurgical testwork,
general observations about the types/styles of mineralisation, and knowledge regarding

Whether the result appropriately reflects the
Competent Person’s view of the deposit.
• The resource classification has been applied to the MRE based on the drilling data
spacing, grade and geological continuity, and data integrity. The resource has been
classified on the following basis:
o
No areas of the Mineral Resource satisfied the requirement to be classified
as Measured Mineral Resources.
o
Mineralised blocks that are defined by drilling spaced closer than 40m by
40m, where there is confidence in the geological and grade continuity, and
where the quality of the estimate as defined by the slope of regression is
high and the blocks have been estimated in the first or second search pass
have been classified as Indicated Mineral Resources.
o
Mineralised blocks that are defined by drilling spaced closer than 100m by
100m, where there is confidence in the geological and grade continuity,
and where the quality of the estimate as defined by the slope of regression

o
Areas of the deposit that do not meet these criteria remain Unclassified.
• To avoid the generation of a “spotted dog” classification, Mining Plus has generated
