VERY STRONG COPPER INTERCEPTS AT WIRLONG

Key Points:

  • Assays continue to confirm very strong copper mineralisation at Wirlong with better results including:

  • 9m @ 4.33% Cu, 14g/t Ag, 0.34g/t Au from 181m within 51m @ 1.35% Cu, 6g/t Ag, 0.11g/t Au from 177m in WLRC068

  • 6m @ 8.64% Cu, 37g/t Ag, 0.11g/t Au from 255m within 15m @ 3.80% Cu, 17g/t Ag, 0.04g/t Au from 255m in WLRC069

  • 10m @ 4.02% Cu, 16g/t Ag from 275m within 28m @ 1.83% Cu, 8g/t Ag from 263m in WLRC071

  • Visual inspection and portable XRF analyses confirm additional significant zones of chalcopyritedominant mineralisation in drilling completed since restart in mid-January including a broad intersection over more than 160m downhole in WLRC073; assays pending

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

  • Drilling at Wirlong for a maiden mineral resource estimate continuing

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

As reported prior in late December 2020, drillholes WLRC068, WLRC069 and WLRC071 each intersected substantial chalcopyrite-dominant sulphide mineralisation over significant downhole widths. Recently returned assays confirm the presence of very high-grade copper mineralisation. Significantly, the mineralisation is consistent with the position of an electromagnetic conductor plate, and with a revised structural model, supporting Peel’s geophysical and geological modelling.

Also, of note, multiple RC drillholes completed since re-start in mid-January have intersected significant zones of chalcopyrite-dominant mineralisation as determined by visual inspection and portable XRF analyses (see Table 3 for further details). Significantly, WLRC073 has intersected a broad copper mineralised intersection from ~234m downhole to end-of-hole at 396m. Assays are pending.

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 June quarter of 2021.

Peel Mining Managing Director Rob Tyson commented:

“These drillholes continue to demonstrate very high copper tenors, akin to those seen in previous drilling. The results highlight Peel’s opinion of the potential of Wirlong as we push towards a maiden mineral resource and emphasize our desire to become Cobar’s next copper-dominant base and precious metals mining Company. We look forward to receiving the assays for the additional copper intercepts yielded from drilling since restart and reporting them in due course.”

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.

Drilling was initially planned to be completed utilising primarily RC drilling; however significant drillhole deviation (as seen in Figure 2) since commencement of drilling will see the Company shift to using diamond drilling to increase drill targeting effectiveness. Diamond drilling will also provide further structural knowledge, geotechnical information and metallurgical testwork material.

As reported, visual inspection of several drillholes completed since re-start in January also 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 (see Table 3 for further details). Sampling of the relevant mineralised intervals in drilling has been completed or is ongoing with assays pending.

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

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.

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.

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.
• Reverse circulation (RC) drilling were used
to obtain samples for geological logging
and assaying.
• 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

RC drilling for gold and/or multi-element
assay where appropriate.
Orientation of
data
in
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
resource
modelling
commences.

The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the area.
• The Wirlong prospect is located within
100%-owned tenements – EL8126 and
EL8307.
• The tenements are in good standing and no
known impediments exist.
Exploration
done by other
parties
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.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
• Wirlong is believed to a VHMS or Cobar-
style deposit similar in style to Peel’s
Mallee Bull deposit.
Drill
hole
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.
• No length weighting or top-cuts have been
applied.
• No metal equivalent values are used for
reporting exploration results.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
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
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.
• Further drilling (as part of the current
resource drilling) and geophysical surveys
are planned at Wirlong.
