RESOURCE DRILLING AT WIRLONG RETURNS SUBSTANTIAL COPPER

Key Points:

  • Previous drilling at Peel’s 100%-owned Wirlong has intercepted high-grade copper

  • RC resource definition drilling has recently commenced at Wirlong as part of the Company’s aim to attain critical mass and to increase exposure to high-grade copper

  • Three drillholes have intersected substantial copper mineralisation over downhole widths of approximately 10m, 15m and 25m

  • Visual inspection confirms significant zones of chalcopyrite-dominant sulphide mineralisation including semi-massive/massive sulphides

  • Significant grades of copper confirmed by portable XRF analyses

  • Mineralisation is consistent with an electromagnetic conductor plate and a revised structural model further supporting Peel’s geophysical and geological modelling

  • Drilling to pause over Christmas/New Year period and to resume in early January

Peel Mining Limited (ASX:PEX) (Peel or the Company) reports that early drilling at the 100%-owned Wirlong deposit has returned strong copper mineralised intercepts. Wirlong is part of Peel’s South Cobar Project, centred around 100km south of Cobar in Western NSW.

Drilling at Wirlong is part of the Company’s “Hub & Spoke” strategy to advance each of the Company’s deposits to mineable resources, to achieve critical mass in support of a new substantial centrally located processing plant. The resource definition drill program comprises of up to ~11,000m of drilling and is anticipated to be completed in the March quarter of 2021.

Drilling at Wirlong has been designed to test the upper ~300m of the Wirlong Central Zone where highgrade copper (chalcopyrite) mineralisation is believed to be structurally controlled on a NW-SE orientation. Diamond drilling will also be completed to provide further structural knowledge as well as geotechnical information and metallurgical testwork material.

Early drilling has encountered significant deviation in drillhole trace versus design however drillholes WLRC068, WLRC069 and WLRC071 have each intersected substantial copper mineralisation over downhole widths of approximately 10m, 15m and 25m respectively. Significantly, the mineralisation is consistent with the position of an electromagnetic conductor plate, and also with a revised structural model, further supporting Peel’s geophysical and geological modelling.

Visual inspection confirms significant zones of chalcopyrite-dominant sulphide mineralisation including semi-massive chalcopyrite-dominant sulphides with associated significant grades of copper confirmed by portable XRF analyses. The true width of these intercepts remains to be accurately determined however is anticipated to be approximately 40-60% of the downhole widths.

Sampling of the relevant mineralised intervals within the aforementioned drillholes has now been completed with assays expected in early 2021.

Drilling at Wrilong has paused for the Christmas/New Year period and will resume in early January.

Peel Mining Managing Director Rob Tyson commented:

“Three of Peel’s early resource definition drillholes at Wirlong have hit obviously strong copper mineralisation and, most importantly, the intercept positions support Peel’s current geophysical and geological modelling and interpretation.”

“Wirlong has previously returned very high tenor copper mineralisation and the new intercepts show clear similarities.”

“These drillholes are a promising start to the resource definition drilling programme and give encouragement to the Company’s aspiration to both grow our resources base and to increasingly pivot our metal exposure to high-grade copper mineralisation.”

“We look forward to providing further updates as results becomes available.”

This announcement has been approved for release by the Board of Directors.

Wirlong Summary

Wirlong is located within Peel’s 100%-owned EL8307, located ~80km SSE of Cobar or ~35km N of Mallee Bull. It is defined by 2km strike of sheared volcanics and sediments; large multi-element soil geochemical anomalies; and coincident/semi-coincident geophysical anomalies. It has since proven to represent a very large hydrothermal system hosting significant copper mineralisation along more than 2.5km strike length and to depths of up to 950m. To date some of the better copper intercepts returned from the Wirlong prospect include:

  • 9m @ 3.29% Cu, 18 g/t Ag from 70m in WLRC035

  • 27m @ 5.3% Cu, 23 g/t Ag from 286m in WLRC026

  • 31m @ 3.19% Cu, 11 g/t Ag from 299m in WLRC052

  • 9m @ 8% Cu, 17g/t Ag, 0.21 g/t Au from 616m in WLDD001

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

A program consisting of three diamond drillholes at Wirlong Central was undertaken at the end of 2019/early 2020 to test a new structural model (NW-SE) for the controls on high-grade copper mineralisation ( see ASX announcement dated 3[rd] April 2020 “Wirlong Drill Results and Covid-19 update”) . Assay results returned significant intercepts in all three drillholes with results including:

  • 4.26m @ 2.22% Cu, 7 g/t Ag from 380m and 0.74m @ 14.3% Cu, 66 g/t Ag from 396.2m in WLDD003

  • 1.15m @ 7.71% Cu, 30 g/t Ag from 54.45m and 30m @ 1.64% Cu, 8 g/t Ag from 305m (incl. 14m @ 2.63% Cu, 12 g/t Ag) from 320m in WLDD004

  • 5.9m @ 3.19% Cu, 13 g/t Ag from 347.1m in WLDD005

Down-hole EM was completed on drillholes WLDD003 and WLDD004 with modelling defining a latetime conductor, with approximate dimensions of 120m x 150m and its geometry consistent with the new structural model. High-grade copper mineralisation at Wirlong Central has been defined from near surface to more than 600m below surface and remains open in all directions.

Table 1 - Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data for South Cobar 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 and reverse circulation (RC)
drilling were used to obtain samples for
geological logging and assaying.
• Diamond core was cut and sampled at 1m
intervals
on
average
or
intervals
determined by geological contacts. RC drill
holes were sampled at 1m intervals and
split using a cone splitter attached to the
cyclone to generate a split of 2-4kg to
ensure sample representivity.
• Multi-element readings were taken of the
diamond core and RC drill chips using an
Olympus Delta Innov-X portable XRF
machine or an Olympus Vanta portable
XRF machine. Portable XRF machines 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, NQ and HQ coring was used for
diamond drilling.
Drill
sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias may
have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
• Core recoveries are recorded by the drillers
in the field at the time of drilling and
checked by a geologist or technician
• RC and RAB samples are not weighed on a
regular basis but no significant sample
recovery issues have been encountered in
a drilling program to date.
• Diamond core is reconstructed into
continuous runs on an angle iron cradle for
orientation marking and depths are
checked against the depths recorded on
core blocks. Rod counts are routinely
undertaken by drillers.
• When
poor
sample
recovery
is
encountered during drilling, the geologist
and driller have endeavoured to rectify the
problem to ensure maximum sample
recovery.
• Sample recoveries at Wirlong, May Day
and Mallee Bull to date have generally
been high.

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.
• Sample recoveries at Southern Nights have
beengenerallyhigh to date.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
• All core and drill chip samples are
geologically logged. Core samples are
orientated and logged for geotechnical
information. Drill chip samples are logged
at 1m intervals from surface to the bottom
of each individual hole to a level that will
support
appropriate
future
Mineral
Resource studies.
• Logging of diamond core, RC and RAB
samples records lithology, mineralogy,
mineralisation, structure (DDH only),
weathering, colour and other features of
the samples. Core is photographed as both
wet and dry.
• All diamond, RC drill holes in the current
program were geologically logged in full
except at May Day where logging is still
underway.

• All samples were split using the system
described above to maximise and maintain
consistent representivity. The majority of
samples were dry.
• Bulk samples were placed in green plastic
bags, with the sub-samples collected
placed in calico sample bags
• Field duplicates were collected by re-
splitting the bulk samples from large
plastic bags. These duplicates were
designed for lab checks.
• Laboratory duplicate samples are split
using method SPL-21d which produces a
split sample using a riffle splitter. These
samples are selected by the geologist
within moderate and high-grade zones.

between the two units is gradational and
well exposed within the open cut. The

copper, lead and zinc mineralisation occurs
within deformed quartz veins, mainly
within the volcaniclastic rocks, with
associated clinochlore alteration. Based
upon previous exploration work and the
apparent way in which mining was carried
out, the mineralised zones appear to be
steeply plunging shoots. A structural
analysis suggests that the mineralised
veins were emplaced into the zone of
shearing, synchronous with its formation,
accompanying steeply northeast plunging
folds.

and
hydrothermal alteration (sericite-chlorite
with local silicification).
• Wirlong is believed to a VHMS or Cobar-
style deposit similar in style to Peel’s
Mallee Bull deposit.

Information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information for all
Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above
sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the
basis that the information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the understanding
of the report, the Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
• All relevant information material to the
understanding of exploration results has
been included within the body of the
announcement or as appendices.
• No information has been excluded.
Data
aggregation
methods
In
reporting
Exploration
Results,
weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum
grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and
cut-off grades are usually Material and should be
stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be shown in
detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
• No length weighting or top-cuts have been
applied.
• No metal equivalent values are used for
reporting exploration results.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths
and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect
to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be
reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this
effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not
_known’). _

True widths are generally estimated to be
about 80% of the downhole width unless
otherwise indicated.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
• Refer to Figures in the body of text.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
• The consistency, grade, and potential for
extension to the intersections at May Day
warrants further drilling to extend the
mineralisation along strike (East–West)
and at depth.
• Future work at Mallee Bull and Cobar
Superbasin Project will include geophysical
surveying and RC/diamond drilling to
further define the extent of mineralisation
at
the
prospects.
Down
hole
electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys will be
used to identify potential conductive
sources
that
may
be
related
to
mineralisation.
• Further drilling and geophysical surveys
are planned at Southern Nights/Wagga
Tank.
• Further drilling and geophysical surveys
areplanned at Wirlong.
