ACN 119 343 734

PO Box 849, West Perth WA 6872 www.peelmining.com.au

Peel Mining Limited (ASX:PEX) (Peel or the Company) is pleased to report that ongoing drilling at its 100%-owned Wirlong and Mallee Bull copper deposits in NSW has returned further high-grade coppermineralised intercepts.

Resource drilling at both prospects is now paused for the Christmas/NY period, with reviews of both Wirlong and Mallee Bull resource drilling underway to determine what further infill drilling is required to increase the resource confidence for an economic study. Additional to the recently released maiden resource estimation at Wirlong, Peel expects to deliver a Mallee Bull and Wirlong resources update in March quarter 2022, as part of Peel's copper first development strategy. Wirlong and Mallee Bull are part of Peel's South Cobar Project, centred around 100km south of Cobar in Western NSW.

PEEL MINING MANAGING DIRECTOR ROB TYSON COMMENTED:

"Whilst the Wirlong maiden mineral resource estimate has now been delivered, excellent potential to continue to improve this high-grade copper deposit remains with WLDD059 returning significant copper mineralisation in the projected position of the MBX lens, ~30m southeast along strike from that in WLDD040. This result as well as other assays received and pending will be used to upgrade the Wirlong resource in mid-2022.

"At Mallee Bull, resource infill and extensional drilling continues to yield wide, high grade copper intercepts. Significantly, MBDD065 intersected strong mineralisation on the southernmost drill section, outside of the current resource model demonstrating mineralisation at Mallee Bull remains open to the south."

WIRLONG

The resource upgrade drilling is part of Peel's strategy to advance each of its deposits to mineable resources, as part of the Company's copper first development strategy.

The 2021 resource estimate for Wirlong (see Table 1) comprises 2.45Mt at 2.4% Cu, 8.7g/t Ag containing approximately 57,900t Cu, 686Koz Ag (using a A\$90/t NSR cut-off). Refer to Peel Mining's ASX Announcement dated 29th November 2021 "High Grade Maiden Copper Resource at Wirlong" for further details. There are a number of holes still to be assayed with five recent returned assays as per below.

Recently returned assays confirm multiple new mineralised high-grade intercepts; better assays include:

WLDD043

  • o 11m @ 2.93% Cu, 10g/t Ag from 388m including:
  • 4.88m @ 6.04% Cu, 20g/t Ag, 0.66g/t Au from 393m

WLDD041

  • o 16m @ 1.55% Cu, 8g/t Ag from 314m including:
  • 3m @ 4.33% Cu, 23g/t Ag from 314m

WLDD046

  • o 3m @ 7.39% Cu, 41g/t Ag from 255m
  • o 4m @ 1.92% Cu, 5g/t Ag from 330m

WLDD045

o 3.9m @ 3.55% Cu, 8g/t Ag from 474.9m

WLDD037

  • o 3m @ 4.33% Cu, 23g/t Ag from 314m
  • o 3m @ 2.15% Cu, 9g/t Ag from 289m

The above results were not available in time to be included in the recently released maiden MRE for

ACN 119 343 734

PO Box 849, West Perth WA 6872 www.peelmining.com.au

Wirlong.

Tables 6 & 7 show all significant resource drilling intercepts returned to date.

Mineralisation returned from recent drilling appears generally consistent with Peel's recently released maiden MRE modeling for Wirlong. Significantly, recently completed drillhole WLDD059 intersected chalcopyrite mineralisation ~30m southeast along strike from WLDD040 in a largely untested area, highlighting the open nature of this growing copper mineral system – see Table 9 for visual sulphide estimates. 17 drillholes are currently awaiting or undergoing processing.

Drilling at Wirlong was designed to test the upper part of the Wirlong Central zone, where high-grade copper (chalcopyrite) mineralisation is structurally controlled on a NW-SE orientation, locally known as the John Owen Fault. Wirlong Central zone mineralisation is also interpreted to be influenced by the interaction between the John Owen Fault and the regional scale N-S trending Woorara fault, creating a sinistral strike slip fault zone encompassing en echelon vein arrays.

The true width of intercepts reported for mineralisation associated with the John Owen Fault is estimated to be approximately 40-60% of the downhole widths. The true width of mineralisation distal to the John Owen Fault is more variable depending on vein array orientations relative to the respective drillhole. Further drilling is required in the south-east part of the Wirlong Central zone to determine accurate true widths in this area.

MALLEE BULL

Mallee Bull resource upgrade drilling is part of Peel's strategy to advance each of its deposits to higher confidence mineable resources to provide an economic study, as part of the Company's copper first development strategy.

The 2017 resource estimate for Mallee Bull (see Table 2) comprises 6.76Mt at 1.8% Cu, 31g/t Ag, 0.4g/t Au, 0.6% Pb, 0.6% Zn (2.6% CuEq) containing approximately 119,000t Cu, 6.6Moz Ag, 83,000oz Au, 38,000t Pb, 38,000t Zn) (using a 1% CuEq cut-off). Refer to Peel Mining's ASX Announcement dated 6th July 2017 "Mallee Bull Resource Grows by 65% to 175,000t CuEq" for further details.

As previously reported, Peel has identified significant copper mineralisation in drilling recently completed as part of resource definition drilling, with recently returned assays from MBDD057 and MBDD065 further confirming these observations:

MBDD057

  • o 22m @ 2.75% Cu, 34g/t Ag, 0.14g/t Au from 464m including:
  • 5.1m @ 5.9% Cu, 55g/t Ag, 0.16g/t Au from 477m

MBDD065

  • o 9m @ 3.53% Cu, 27g/t Ag, 0.17g/t Au from 412m including:
  • 3.75m @ 7.08% Cu, 52g/t Ag, 0.35g/t Au from 416m

Significantly, MBDD065 mineralisation occurs 20m further south than the current resource model, with mineralisation visible in the adjacent up-dip holes, confirming the resource remains open to the south. Table 8 shows all significant resource upgrade drilling intercepts returned to date.,

Although mineralisation at Mallee Bull commences at ~60m below surface and has been defined to at least 800m below surface, remaining open along strike and at depth, the bulk of Mallee Bull's contained copper is located from ~350m below surface where resources are predominantly of an Inferred nature. The resource upgrade drilling program, comprising ~26,000m to date, is primarily designed to convert Inferred classified resources to Indicated classification for an economic study. At the time of reporting, 10 drillholes have assays pending (samples in lab); 9 drillholes are undergoing final processing; and 9 drillholes remain to be processed.

A review of drilling is now being conducted to determine the amount of drilling required in 2022 to have enough resource confidence to publish reserves and an economic study. Two to three double shifting multi-purpose drill rigs will mobilise back to site early in the new year to complete the Mallee Bull and Wirlong drill programs. Updates of the mineral resources at Mallee Bull and Wirlong are expected in the March Quarter 2022.

The true width of Mallee Bull intercepts reported is estimated to be approximately 40-60% of the downhole widths.

WIRLONG BACKGROUND

Total Resource 2,450 2.4 8.7 57,900 686,000

Wirlong is within Peel's 100%-owned EL8307, located ~80km SSE of Cobar or ~35km N of Peel's 100% owned Mallee Bull copper deposit. It is defined by 2km strike of sheared and intercalated 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. Some of the better copper intercepts returned from discovery phase of drilling at 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

Peel completed three diamond drillholes at Wirlong Central in late 2019/early 2020 to test a new structural model (NW-SE) for the controls on high-grade copper mineralisation. Refer to Peel Mining's ASX Announcement dated 3rd April 2020 "Wirlong Drill Results and Covid-19 update" for further details. 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.

MALLEE BULL BACKGROUND

The Mallee Bull copper deposit is located approximately 100km south of Cobar in western NSW and is situated on a 20,000-acre pastoral lease owned by Peel Mining.

In 2010, Peel was granted exploration lease EL7461 which encompassed the historic Gilgunnia and 4- Mile goldfields. Exploration initially focused on the known polymetallic potential of the May Day deposit located within ML1361 (wholly contained within EL7461) until a 2010 airborne electromagnetic geophysical survey resulted in the recognition of a coincident late time conducting anomaly and magnetic high proximal to the historic 4-Mile goldfields. The anomaly was confirmed by a subsequent ground-based geophysical survey in early 2011, and follow-up RC and diamond drilling resulted in the discovery of strongly anomalous polymetallic (Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag-Au) mineralisation.

In 2012, CBH Resources entered a farm-in agreement to acquire 50% of the Mallee Bull and May Day projects for \$8.3m expenditure. During the JV partnership, seven drill programs were completed at Mallee Bull, providing the basis for the reporting of a maiden mineral resource in 2014 and an updated mineral resource in 2017 (see Table 2). In 2020, Peel regained 100% control of the Mallee Bull and May Day deposits.

Table 2: Mallee Bull 2017 Mineral Resource estimate based on 1% CuEq cutoff grade. Figures in this table are rounded to reflect the precision of the estimates and include rounding errors.

Since discovery in 2011, drilling activities at Mallee Bull and proximal targets have comprised 125 RAB holes, 153 RC holes (including 42 with diamond tails), and 51 diamond holes (including 11 wedge holes) for a total of ~9,500m of RAB drilling, ~28,400m of RC drilling, and ~30,500m of diamond drilling at end 2020. Mineralisation at Mallee Bull commences at ~60m below surface and has been defined to at least 800m below surface and remains open along strike and at depth. Other exploration activities completed at Mallee Bull and surrounds include extensive surface geochemical sampling, geological mapping, and numerous airborne, surface and downhole geophysical surveys.

Mallee Bull is interpreted to be in a favourable geological and structural position; it is situated in an interpreted high-stress environment of the "nose" of an anticline and occurs in a geological sequence of turbidite and volcaniclastic sediments which are thought to be age equivalent to the Chesney and Great Cobar Slate Formations found in the immediate Cobar region. Mineralisation occurs either as massive sulphide or hydrothermal breccia styles within a package of brecciated volcaniclastic and turbidite sediments comprising siltstones and mudstones and is interpreted to occur as a shoot/lenslike structure dipping moderately to the west. The deposit is currently subdivided into three lenses: Silver Ray, Union, and Mallee Bull.

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

In relation to the disclosure of visual mineralisation, the Company cautions that visual estimates of sulphide and oxide material abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis. Laboratory assay results are required to determine the widths and grade of the visible mineralisation reported in preliminary geological logging. The Company will update the market when laboratory analytical results become available. Cpy stands for chalcopyrite mineralisation.

JORC CODE (2012 Edition) – Table 1 Checklist of Assessment and Reporting Criteria

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 and reverse circulation. Reverse
circulation drilling utilised a 5 1/2 inch
diameter hammer. PQ, HQ and NQ 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 samples are not weighed on a regular
basis but no significant sample recovery
issues have been encountered in drilling
programs 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.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

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 and Mallee
Bull to date have generally been high.

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 was cut with a core saw and half
core taken.

The RC 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 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.

A sample size of 2-4kg was collected and
considered appropriate and representative
for
the
grain
size
and
style
of
mineralisation.

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 drill holes. 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
routinely 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 multi-shot 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

3m to 6m sample compositing is applied to
RC drilling for gold and/or multi-element
assay where appropriate.
Orientation

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).

Drillhole deviation may affect the true width
of
mineralisation
and
will
be
further
assessed
when

Acknowledgment
and
appraisal
of
exploration by other parties.

Wirlong
is
a
zone
of
known
mineralisation within a belt of acid
volcanic rocks, on which four historic
shafts have been sunk.

In 1982, CRAE completed reconnaissance
exploration
including
drilling
of
1
diamond drillhole and 3 percussion
drillholes.

Minimal other modern exploration has
been completed at Wirlong.

Work at Mallee Bull was completed in the
area by several former tenement holders
including
Triako
Resources
between
2003 and 2009; it included diamond
drilling, IP surveys, geological mapping
and
reconnaissance
geochemical
sampling around the historic Four Mile
Goldfield area. Prior to Triako Resources,
Pasminco
Exploration
explored
the
Cobar Basin area for a "Cobar-type" or
"Elura-type" zinc-lead-silver or copper
gold-lead-zinc deposit.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style
of mineralisation.

Wirlong is believed to be a VHMS or
Cobar-style deposit similar in style to
Peel's Mallee Bull deposit.

The Mallee Bull prospect area lies within
the
Cobar-Mt
Hope

northern
Cobar
region
consists
of
predominantly sedimentary units
with
tuffaceous member, whilst the southern
Mt
Hope

consists
of
predominantly felsic volcanic rocks; the
Mallee Bull prospect appears to be in an
area of overlap between these two
regions. Mineralisation at the Mallee Bull

results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material drill
holes:
o
easting and northing of the drill hole
collar
o

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

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

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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 estimated to be 40-60%
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.
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.

In relation to the disclosure of visual
mineralisation, the Company cautions
that visual estimates of sulphide and
oxide material abundance should never
be considered a proxy or substitute for
laboratory analysis. Laboratory assay
results are required to determine the
widths
and
grade
of
the
visible
mineralisation reported in preliminary
geological logging. The Company will
update the market when laboratory
analytical results become available.
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

contaminating substances.

No other substantive exploration data
are available.
