  • Peel has observed significant zones of strong copper mineralisation in recent drilling; processing and sampling is continuing, with further results expected in the coming weeks
  • Peel expects to deliver Mallee Bull Resource upgrade in December 2021 quarter.

Peel Mining Limited (ASX:PEX) (Peel or the Company) is pleased to report initial assays from resource upgrade drilling at its 100%-owned Mallee Bull copper deposit, centred ~100km south of Cobar, NSW, have confirmed new broad high-grade copper-mineralised intercepts at shallower depths than previously seen.

Peel is progressing to establish critical mass via the definition of high-quality mineral resources at each of its deposits. Drilling at the Mallee Bull and Wirlong copper deposits is part of the Company's copper first strategy, focusing on advancing the Mallee Bull and Wirlong copper assets as a priority.

PEEL MINING MANAGING DIRECTOR ROB TYSON COMMENTED:

"The initial assays from resource upgrade drilling at Mallee Bull reinforce the high-grade nature of this important copper-rich deposit. Significantly, drillholes MBDD037 and MBDD038 returned broad highgrade copper mineralisation at depths closer to surface than seen before, an exciting development as we seek to improve the quality of the mineral resource.

"Drilling at Mallee Bull is advancing well with ~45% of the resource definition program now complete. Processing of Mallee Bull drillcore is taking place on a campaign basis in conjunction with our resource drilling at Wirlong, and further results are anticipated to be received in the coming weeks.

"Peel's field activities have been largely unaffected by the ongoing health emergency in Sydney, however we remain alert to the situation. I thank Peel's field staff for their understanding and positive approach."

MALLEE BULL

Mallee Bull is amongst Australia's highest grade undeveloped copper deposits, and resource upgrade drilling is part of Peel's strategy to advance each of its deposits to mineable resources, to achieve critical mass in support of a new substantial centrally located processing plant.

The 2017 resource estimate for Mallee Bull (see Table 1) comprises 6.76 Mt 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, 6.6 Moz Ag, 83,000 oz Au, 38,000t Pb, 38,000t Zn) (using a 1% CuEq cut-off) – Table 1. 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 identified significant copper mineralisation in multiple drillholes recently completed as part of resource definition drilling, including MBDD037 and MBDD038, and assays have confirmed these observations, with better results including:

MBDD037

  • o 62m @ 2.14% Cu, 15g/t Ag from 324m including:
    • 25m @ 4.18% Cu, 24g/t Ag from 361m

MBDD038

  • o 36m @ 3.55% Cu, 72g/t Ag from 345m including:
    • 3m @ 6.75% Cu, 75g/t Ag from 346m
    • 14.4m @ 4.71% Cu, 103g/t Ag from 359m
    • 3m @ 6.70% Cu, 88g/t Ag from 377m

MBDD042

  • o 2m @ 1.41% Cu, 33g/t Ag from 318m
  • o 4m @ 0.94% Cu, 51g/t Ag, 0.78g/t Au 4.10% Pb, 0.66% Zn, from 327m

MBDD043

  • o 9.67m @ 1.08% Cu, 11g/t Ag from 267.33m including:
    • 3.46m @ 2.05% Cu, 21g/t Ag from 270m

Recent drilling continues to return visibly significant zones of strong copper mineralisation. Processing and sampling is ongoing, with further assays pending for a number of drillholes as noted in Table 3. Table 5 shows visual estimates of mineralisation for unreported drillholes MBDD033 to 055.

Although 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), 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 ~20,000m of diamond drilling, is primarily designed to convert Inferred classified resources to Indicated classification.

Resource upgrade drilling at Mallee Bull is progressing well and at the time of reporting was approximately 45% (>9,000m) complete. Two, double shifting multi-purpose drill rigs are completing the program, with initial focus on the zone between 300m and 500m below surface.

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. A subsequent ground-based geophysical survey confirmed the anomaly 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 1). In 2020, Peel regained 100% control of the Mallee Bull and May Day deposits.

Total Resource 6,760 2.6 1.8 31 0.4 0.6 0.6

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 has historically returned many significant drill intercepts – see Table 2:

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/lens-like 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 Board of Directors.

Cpy = chalcopyrite; Po = pyrrhotite; Py = pyrite; Sph = sphalerite; Gn = galena. Pure chalcopyrite contains ~34.5% Cu. Pure sphalerite contains ~67% Zn. Pure galena contains ~86.6% Pb. In relation to the disclosure of visual mineralisation, the Company cautions that visual estimates of sulphide 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.

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
Samplingtechniques •Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, orspecific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate tothe minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, orhandheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken aslimiting the broad meaning of sampling.•Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivityandthe appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.•Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to thePublic Report.•In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would berelatively simple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 msamples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fireassay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as wherethere is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusualcommodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) maywarrant disclosure of detailed information. •Diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling were used to obtain samplesfor geologicallogging and assaying.•Diamond core was cut and sampled at 1m intervals on average or intervalsdetermined by geological contacts. RC drill holes were sampled at 1mintervals and split using a cone splitter attached to the cyclone to generate asplit of 2-4kg to ensure sample representivity.•Multi-element readings were taken of the diamond core and RC drill chipsusing an Olympus Delta Innov-X portable XRF machine or an Olympus Vantaportable XRF machine. Portable XRF machines are routinely serviced,calibrated and checked against blanks/standards.
Drillingtechniques •Drill type (egcore, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary airblast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple orstandard 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, HQand NQ coring was used for diamond drilling.
Drill samplerecovery •Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries andresults assessed.•Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representativenature of the samples.•Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade andwhether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain offine/coarse material. •Core recoveries are recorded by the drillers in the field at the time of drillingand checked by a geologist or technician.•RC samples are not weighed on a regular basis but no significant samplerecovery issues have been encountered in drilling programs to date.•Diamond core is reconstructed into continuous runs on an angle iron cradlefor orientation marking and depths are checked against the depths recordedon core blocks. Rod counts are routinely undertaken by drillers.•When poor sample recovery is encountered during drilling, the geologist anddriller have endeavoured to rectify the problem to ensure maximum samplerecovery.•Sample recoveries at WirlongandMallee Bull to date have generally beenhigh.

Logging •Whether core and chip samples have been geologically andgeotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate MineralResource 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 geologicallylogged. Core samples areorientated and logged for geotechnical information. Drill chip samples arelogged at 1m intervals from surface to the bottom of each individual hole toa level thatwill support appropriate future Mineral Resource studies.•Loggingof diamond core and RC samples records lithology, mineralogy,mineralisation, structure (DDH only), weathering, colour and other featuresof the samples. Core is photographed as both wet and dry. Chips arephotographed as wet samples.•All diamond and RC drill holes in the current program were geologicallylogged in full.
Sub-samplingtechniques andsamplepreparation •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 whethersampled wet or dry.•For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of thesample preparation technique.•Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages tomaximise representivity of samples.•Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the insitu material collected, including for instance results for fieldduplicate/second-half sampling.•Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the materialbeing 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 splittingsystem, which provided one bulk sample of approximately 20kg and a subsample of 2-4kg per metre drilled.•All samples were split using the system described above to maximise andmaintain consistent representivity. The majority of samples were dry.•Bulk samples were placed in green plastic bags, with the sub-samplescollected placed in calico sample bags.•Field duplicates were collected by re-splitting the bulk samples from largeplastic bags. These duplicates were designed for lab checks.•Laboratory duplicate samples are split using method SPL-21d whichproduces a split sample using a riffle splitter. These samples are selected bythe geologist within moderate and high-grade zones.•A sample size of 2-4kg was collected and considered appropriate andrepresentative for the grain size and style of mineralisation.
Quality of assaydata andlaboratory tests •The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratoryprocedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.•For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, theparameters used in determining the analysis including instrument makeand model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and theirderivation, etc.•Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks,duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels ofaccuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. •ALS Laboratory Services were used for Au and multi-element analysis workcarried on out on 1m split RC samplesand half core DDH samples.

Prior to Triako Resources, Pasminco Explorationexplored the Cobar Basin area for a "Cobar-type" or "Elura-type" zinclead-silver or copper-gold-lead-zinc deposit.
Geology •Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. •The Mallee Bull prospect area lies within the Cobar-Mt Hope SiluroDevonian sedimentary and volcanic units. The northern Cobar regionconsists of predominantly sedimentary units with tuffaceous member,whilst the southern Mt Hope region consists of predominantly felsicvolcanic rocks; the Mallee Bull prospect appearsto be in an area ofoverlap between these two regions.
