PEEL MINING MANAGING DIRECTOR JIM SIMPSON COMMENTED:
"Peel has established a strong resource base at its South Cobar Project with a level of resource confidence to advance mining studies and permitting for exploration declines.
"The strong drill results from Mallee Bull and Wirlong over the last 18 months have translated into a significant upgrade in confidence of these copper resources, with ~77% of the Company's copperdominant resources now classified as Indicated Resources, for approximately 152kt of the 197kt copper metal contained in these two copper-rich deposits.
At Wirlong the MBX lens has delivered coherent high-grade mineralisation, and exploration drilling has confirmed it is surrounded by a broad halo of stockwork copper mineralisation, which remains open and will be subject to further exploration and definition."

Peel Mining Ltd (ASX Code: PEX) ("Peel" or "the Company") is pleased to report updated Indicated & Inferred Mineral Resource Estimates (MRE) for its 100% owned South Cobar Project, centred around 100km south of Cobar in Western NSW. The MREs provide Peel with an excellent foundation to undertake mining studies and continue permitting for exploration declines.
SOUTH COBAR PROJECT
The South Cobar Project is located within Peel's 100%-owned tenure and comprises the Mallee Bull, Wirlong, Wagga Tank-Southern Nights and May Day deposits. Peel was initially attracted to the Cobar area in 2010 by the presence of world-class, high-grade, and long-life base and precious metals rich deposits as demonstrated by the CSA, Peak and Elura/Endeavor mines (Figure 1).
Since Peel's entry into the Cobar district, the Company has aggregated more than 3,000km2 of tenure and defined significant mineral systems at Mallee Bull, Wirlong, Southern Nights-Wagga Tank and May Day. During this time, Peel has completed more than 334km of drilling across its Cobar project holdings, including about 289km of diamond and RC drilling. The bulk of this drilling, totalling about 249km of diamond and RC drilling, was in the general area of the South Cobar Project MREs.
Most of the Peel's activity in 2022 was aimed at upgrading the Company's copper resources, particularly Wirlong, where infill and extensional drilling results and updated modelling has yielded a considerable improvement to that deposit's contained copper and MRE classification.
Notably, drilling focussed on the key MBX lens which delivered increases in the quantity of contained copper, up 29%, and the relative proportion of Indicated-classified Resource tonnes from 33% to 82%, from the maiden November 2021 MRE*2* . Recent Wirlong drilling has also identified a significant halo of stockwork copper mineralisation which remains unconstrained, and which will be subject to future drilling to determine its full potential.
MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES
The MREs for the Mallee Bull, Wirlong, Wagga Tank-Southern Nights, and May Day deposits are reported in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code (2012)).
Except for May Day Open pit estimates, the MREs are reported within constrained mineable shapes, created using Deswik mining software, reflecting underground mining, generated at A$80/t NSR cut off with a minimum mining width of three metres and include internal dilution. Tables 1 to 4 show MREs by dominant mineralogy and relevant deposits.
The MREs have been completed by independent mining consultant Mr Jonathon Abbott of Matrix Resource Consultants Pty Ltd (Matrix). Mr Abbott accepts responsibility for the block modelling and the MREs. Mr Robert Tyson, an employee of Peel Mining, accepts responsibility for the geological interpretation, sampling and analytical data upon which the MREs are based. NSR calculations and mineable shape creation was completed by ANTCIA Consulting Pty Ltd.

Note: The South Cobar Project MREs are above A$80/tonne NSR cut-off and utilises mineable shapes, which include minimum mining widths and internal dilution to bound the MREs, except for May Day Open Pit which utilised $40 and $50/t NSR cut-offs for oxide and sulphide Resources within an optimal pit respectively. Figures are rounded to reflect the precision of estimates and include rounding errors.




NET SMELTER RETURN
For the reporting of the MREs, a Net Smelter Return (NSR) value has been used to reflect the polymetallic nature of mineralisation. NSR in A$/t, represents the potential economic value of mineralisation net of all costs after it leaves site, and was applied to each block within the block model after estimation. The NSR formula includes assumptions regarding metal prices, exchange rates, metallurgical recoveries, metal marketing terms (including payabilities and deductions/penalties), freight, smelting and refining charges, and royalties.
The NSR formula is:
NSR = (metal grades x metallurgical recoveries x payabilities x A$ metal prices) less (concentrate freight and treatment charges, penalties, and royalties)
Metal price assumptions were based on late 2022 Australian dollar metal pricing and are listed in Table 5.
| Commodity | Assumption | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A$ Copper Price | $12,000 / tonne | ||||
| A$ Silver Price | $30 / ounce | ||||
| A$ Zinc Price | $4,700 / tonne | ||||
| A$ Lead Price | $3,000 / tonne | ||||
| A$ Gold Price | $2,600 / ounce |
Table 5 – Metal price assumptions used in Mallee Bull, Wirlong and Wagga Tank-Southern Nights MREs
MINING ASSUMPTIONS
The underground MREs are constrained and reported within mineable shapes produced by Deswik's Shape Optimiser (SO) using NSR cut-offs of A$60/t A$80/t and A$100/t. SO runs were performed by ANTCIA Consulting Pty Ltd with NSR inputs supplied by Peel Mining. The mineable shapes were based upon the smallest mineable unit (SMU) for the SO shapes being 5m long, 5m high, with a minimum mining width of 3m. These inputs were used to provide a balance between practical mining and mineralisation shapes.
May Day Open Pit MRE is reported within an optimal pit generated by Matrix utilising cost and revenue parameters specified by Peel, including the metal prices and recoveries shown in Table 5 and 8 respectively, and mining costs for oxide waste/ore and fresh waste/ore of A$12/bcm and A$15/bcm respectively. The underground MRE for this deposit is constrained below the optimal pit.
CUT-OFF VALUES
The underground MREs reported for Mallee Bull, Wirlong, Southern Nights-Wagga Tank and May Day include internal dilution but do not include footwall or hanging wall dilution outside the mineralised domains.
The $60/t, $80/t, and $100/t NSR cut-off values represent conceptual operating cut-off costs associated with a variety of underground mining methods from bulk mining (e.g., sub-level caving) to selective mining (e.g., bench stoping) and haulage, along with other site operating costs including processing and administration. The May Day open pit MRE utilise $40/t and $50/t NSR cut-offs for oxide and sulphide mineralisation respectively, reflecting oxide and sulphide processing concepts.

Material above the chosen cut-offs within underground mineable shapes and pit shell, is considered by Peel to have reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction. Tables 6 and 7 detail South Cobar Project Copper MREs and Zinc-Lead MREs at $60/t, $80/t and $100/t NSR cut-offs. Figures in these tables are rounded to reflect the precision of estimates and include rounding errors.

Metallurgical testwork at ALS Burnie remains ongoing. It is Peel Mining's opinion that all elements included in the conceptual processing flowsheets have reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
BACKGROUND
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 premining metal inventories: >2.5Mt copper, >200t gold, >4.8Mt zinc, >2.8Mt lead, and >4,000t of silver3 .
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 in the area such as Shuttleton, Nymagee, Hera, Federation, Wirlong, May Day, Mallee Bull, Mt Hope and Southern Nights-Wagga Tank.
MALLEE BULL GEOLOGY & MINERALISATION
Mallee Bull is located within EL7461. Peel was initially attracted to the area by the presence of a strong EM conductor near the historic "4-Mile" gold workings.

The Mallee Bull stratigraphy reflects a complex interplay between deposition of below-storm wave base sedimentary rocks (interpreted as turbidites) of siliciclastic provenance and a sequence of rhyolitic volcanic rocks, volcaniclastic rocks and limestone breccia that have attributes which suggest they are derived within or close to the depositional area of Mallee Bull. The rhyolite-limestone package along with intercalated sedimentary units, has previously been referred to as the "allochthonous" package at Mallee Bull, however since many of the facies have developed more or less in situ, it has been renamed it the Cripples Reward Formation (informal) after one of the historic mine shafts. The siliciclastic rocks include the Shume Formation, Mallee Bull Formation, below and above the Cripples Reward Formation, respectively, and the KID sandstone and siltstone-dominant breccia, which are both within the Cripples Reward Formation. The Shume and Mallee Bull formations have both been interpreted as thick turbidite successions.
The KID sandstone is slightly 'cleaner' and more quartzose and massive in texture compared with most of the sandstone in the turbidite successions, however, sporadic occurrences of similar pale, massive sandstone occur within both Shume and Mallee Bull formations. The KID sandstone may simply represent slightly more reworked sand from the same source as the rest of the turbidites. In many drill holes, the KID grades downhole into the siltstone- dominant breccia. This unit differs from the silty facies of the Shume and Mallee Bull formations only in the presence of relatively rare, small, mainly sedimentary clasts. The silt-dominant breccia appears to have taken up the bulk of the strain within the Cripples Reward Formation and is also characterised by small patches of sulphide (mainly pyrrhotite) after small lithic clasts. The presence of the KID sandstone and the siltstone-dominant breccia within the Cripples Reward Formation indicates that turbidite deposition was continuous from the Shume Formation into the Mallee Bull Formation, briefly interrupted by emplacement and reworking of the rhyolites and limestone breccia emplacement. Apart from the included turbiditic sedimentary rocks mentioned above, the Cripples Reward Formation contains two compositionally similar, but usually texturally distinct, coherent, and brecciated rhyolites and limestone breccia, which occurs as horizons and smaller clasts/blocks. Polymictic breccia, composed of varying proportions of rhyolite, limestone, KID sandstone and fine-grained turbidite are also important facies. In parts of the sequence, coarse-grained and pebbly sandstone of presumed volcaniclastic but probably mixed provenance is locally important.
The Mallee Bull deposit occurs on the western flank of, and in proximity of the nose of a south plunging anticline. The nose region is fractured and offset by several local-scale faults, and the regional-scale Moonlight Fault which is tentatively interpreted as a mineralising fluid conduit. A moderate to intense, steeply dipping slaty cleavage is axial planar to the anticline. This cleavage is most strongly manifest within argillaceous lithologies.
Mineralisation within the Mallee Bull deposit extends from about 70m below the surface and has been intersected by drilling to a depth of >800m. It exhibits an elongate sheet-like geometry, dipping westward from 55° near-surface to 75° at depth in a well constrained stratabound form. Massive sphalerite-galena rich mineralisation (excluding Silver Ray) is viewed as laterally equivalent to massive pyrite mineralisation, forming a near continuous lens that spans most of the deposit's strike length and is hosted at the same stratigraphic horizon throughout the deposit, i.e., at the Shume Formation-lower rhyolite contact in the north and the Shume Formation-polymict breccia in the south. Copper mineralisation occurs as chalcopyrite veins and breccia and massive sulphides, commonly associated with pyrrhotite, and occurs in a deeper stratigraphic position than the pyrite-sphalerite-galena.

WIRLONG GEOLOGY & MINERALISATION
Wirlong is located within EL8307 and EL8126. Peel was initially drawn to the area by the presence of historic copper workings, which were shown to be associated with significant geochemical and geophysical anomalism. Exploratory drilling at Wirlong in early 2015 identified primary copper mineralisation with followup drilling in late 2015 yielding strong copper mineralisation.
The deposit is located about 1.5km north of the historic Wirlong workings and is hosted in a N-S striking, moderate to steeply west dipping (~65o ) sequence of interfingering sediments and volcanics that exhibit open to locally tight parasitic folds. The sediments comprise massive to locally laminated quartz-rich sandstones and interbedded shale, siltstone and sandstone turbidites of the Shume Formation. The volcanics comprise massive, porphyritic, flow-banded and auto-brecciated rhyolite of the Shuttleton Rhyolite Member. Soft sediment deformation, intense hydrothermal alteration, local hyaloclastites and peperitic margins are indicative of the rhyolite being emplaced as a very high-level sill into wet, semi-consolidated sediments. Age dating of the Shuttleton Rhyolite Member by Waltenberg et al (2016) suggests an age of 421.9 +/- 2.7Ma for the rhyolite which is consistent with the sequence forming during late Silurian to Early Devonian rifting related to the formation of the Cobar Super Basin. Field observations and younging data from drill core have delineated a westward-younging sequence that is bound to the east by the major N-S striking Woorara Fault.
The geological sequence at Wirlong is overprinted by a strong, consistently N-S striking foliation that dominantly dips steeply to the east, rotating to steeply west where proximal to the Woorara Fault. Evidence from bedding and younging data shows that the west dipping sequence of sediments and volcanics is parasitically folded, dominated by open to locally tight asymmetric style folds.
Wirlong is primarily hosted within a NW-SE striking fault zone (John Owen Fault) which is host to the highgrade MBX domain and is surrounded by a halo of stockwork copper mineralisation that remains spatially open. The John Owen Fault is observed at the surface by local gossanous float and as a series of isolated, massive quartz veins that range in thickness from <1m to over 10m. The fault has been mapped at the surface for a current strike length of over 1.3km and forms a conjugate structure set with a NE-SW striking fault that passes through the historic Wirlong shafts. Peel hypothesises the faults formed during E-W compression during basin inversion that gave rise to conjugate fault sets that are consistent with a Riedel shear model.
Mineralisation at Wirlong is hosted in all lithologies and comprises massive to semi-massive breccia-fill and vein hosted chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite-pyrite (+/- arsenopyrite, sphalerite, galena). In the oxide zone azurite, malachite, chalcocite and smithsonite are observed. Intense Fe-Mg chlorite alteration is spatially associated with chalcopyrite-rich mineralisation. Structural analysis indicates that the intersection of the NW-SE striking John Owen Fault with the regional trending N-S orientation created local zones of dilation that facilitated the movement and emplacement of mineralising fluids into structures and faults (MBX domain) and fractures and foliation (Stockwork domains).
Strong copper mineralisation is thought to form a series of stacked, en-echelon style lenses and stockwork mineralisation hosted within and proximal to the John Owen Fault. Mineralisation increases in intensity towards the east of the deposit which is theorised to reflect an increase in the interaction between the NW-SE striking John Owen Fault and the regional N-S striking Woorara Fault to the east. Stockwork mineralisation exists peripherally to the MBX domain and remains unconstrained by drilling.

SOUTHERN NIGHTS-WAGGA TANK GEOLOGY & MINERALISATION
The Southern Nights-Wagga Tank deposits are located in EL6695. Peel was initially drawn to the area by the existence of the Wagga Tank deposit - discovered in the 1970s - and subsequent lack of follow-up modern exploration.
Southern Nights-Wagga Tank occur within the Mt Kennan Volcanics and comprises a package of largely volcanic derived subaqueous mass-flow deposits and local coherent rhyolites that are locally informally termed Vivigani Formation. These volcanic rocks are contained within deep water, rhythmically bedded turbidite facies shales, siltstones and sandstones that are referred to as underlying Eastern Formation and overlying Wagga Tank Formation. Metamorphic grade is lower greenschist facies and the area is of low strain, evidenced by a weak penetrative cleavage developed in turbidite facies shales.
Late early Devonian sandstones and conglomerates (Mulga Downs Group) outcrop prominently to the west of the deposit and are also believed to be locally juxtaposed against Wagga Tank Formation shales/siltstones in downfaulted blocks within the main project area. Together these units are unconformably overlain by transported sediments deposited in fluvial/lacustrine environments during the Tertiary period (McQueen, 2008) and aeolian and fluvial/sheetwash sands, gravels, clays and soils deposited throughout the Quaternary to the present day. The thickness of the Tertiary/Quaternary cover varies dramatically over the deposit from >100m at Southern Nights to areas of outcrop at Wagga Tank. A laterite profile is well developed but is commonly partly truncated.
Massive sulphide mineralisation in the Southern Nights-Wagga Tank area have been defined discontinuously over a strike length of approximately 2km at four principal locations: Wagga Tank, Link Zone, Southern Nights Central and Southern Nights South. Massive sulphide mineralisation occurs at the stratigraphic contact between the Vivigani Formation and overlying Wagga Tank Formation. This contact dips steeply WNW at Southern Nights rotating to steep NW/SE at Wagga Tank where minor overturning occurs. The contact marks a change in depositional environment that is coeval with the cessation of volcanic activity and the subsequent on-set of relative quiescence that allowed for the largely undisturbed accumulation of laminated to massive sulphides on the palaeo-seafloor. The massive sulphides are now preserved at the base of the deep-water turbidite facies shales and siltstones that are informally referred to as the Wagga Tank Formation and overlie discordant, intensely altered stockwork vein zones that are developed in the footwall permeable volcaniclastics of the Vivigani Formation.
Facies analysis of the Southern Nights-Wagga Tank deposits has resulted in the identification of the Link Zone volcanic centre and multiple syn-volcanic faults that are spatially associated with stratiform massive and stockwork vein zone mineralisation. The textures and geochemistry of mineralisation and alteration at Southern Nights-Wagga Tank are strongly suggestive of a VAMS origin for mineralisation that formed during the basin rifting phase, however Pb isotope data provides a counterargument to this hypothesis and suggest an age that is consistent with the basin inversion phase. Further work is needed to resolve this issue.

MAY DAY GEOLOGY & MINERALISATION
The May Day deposit is contained within ML1361 and represents a polymetallic VMS-style mineral system.
The geology of the May Day deposit has been described in detail by Gary Burton, Geological Survey NSW, in "A geological study of the May Day open cut mine, Gilgunnia area" July 2012. The following description is based off this and Peel's current interpretation. The May Day deposit occurs at the contact between the Mount Hope Volcanics and the Upper Amphitheatre Group. The Mount Halfway Volcanics mostly comprise massive porphyritic crystal tuffs and rhyolitic to rhyodacitic lavas, as well as lithic-crystal tuffs and crystalvitric tuffs, and locally intercalated sandstone and siltstone.
The depositional setting has been interpreted to have been deep marine with the rocks having been deposited as pyroclastic ashflows with interbedded turbidites. The Mount Halfway Volcanics are conformably overlain by and interfinger with the Upper Amphitheatre Group. The Upper Amphitheatre Group consists of a sequence of thin to medium-bedded siltstones and sandstones. It contains minor rhyolitic to rhyodacitic crystal, lithic-crystal and vitric tuffs which are interpreted to be stratigraphically equivalent to the Mount Halfway Volcanics. The rocks are interpreted to have been deposited as turbidites within a deep marine environment.
The host rock sequence within the May Day deposit consists of a (lithic)-crystal-vitric tuff (Volcaniclastic Unit 1) in faulted contact with volcaniclastic mudstone and tuff (Volcaniclastic Unit 2) which appears to grade stratigraphically upward into interbedded tuffaceous mudstone and terrigenous turbidites. This in turn grades upward into terrigenous turbidites with sporadic volcaniclastic layers within it (Upper Amphitheatre Group). Based upon consistent younging directions within the Upper Amphitheatre Group rocks, Volcaniclastic Unit 1 is the stratigraphically lowermost unit in this local sequence. The overall sequence appears to represent deposition of volcaniclastic material within a deep marine environment being immediately overlain by terrigenous turbidites.
The sequence later underwent deformation which produced steeply north-easterly plunging folds. Within Volcaniclastic Unit 2 and parts of Volcaniclastic Unit 3 the cleavage has manifested as a strong shear fabric. It is considered that the chloritic and talc alteration of those rocks occurred synchronous with the deformation. Mineralised quartz veins were probably emplaced into this shear fabric during its formation, resulting in deformation of those veins. It is considered that the mineralised veins probably formed steeply plunging shoots. It is considered that the folding, shear geometry and mineralisation within the deposit can be explained via asymmetric folding. This deformation is considered to have been associated with the Cobar deformation, because of the steeply plunging nature of the structures.
Mineralisation at May Day occurs as a steeply dipping zone of highly altered, sheared and partly brecciated siltstone and volcaniclastics. Primary mineralisation identified in deeper drilling (100-250m below the surface) comprises pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite with gold and silver considered to occur within both galena and tetrahedrite. The sulphides occur within a low grade disseminated zone up to 30m wide with local massive sulphide concentrations. Massive sulphides form steeply dipping discrete tabular bodies and are commonly associated with quartz veining and silicification. The sulphides show evidence of recrystallisation and remobilisation. Within about 70m of surface, mineralisation has been affected by weathering and secondary enrichment to produce a gold and silver-rich zone approximately 300m long and 30m wide, with significant amounts of copper, lead and zinc.

It is believed that mineralisation was initially emplaced as exhalative sulphides within a marine environment. Remobilisation of sulphides is considered as possible or that sulphides were syngenetic but have been overprinted by a hydrothermal mineralising event.

MINERAL RESOURCE MODELLING
DATA SOURCES
For each deposit area, Peel supplied Mr Abbott with an extract of the drilling database in the form of text files exported from a Geobank Database. Mr Abbott's checking of the compiled database extracts included checking for consistency within and between database tables. These reviews showed no significant discrepancies.
MALLEE BULL MODELLING
The Mallee Bull MRE is the product of 87,133m of RC and diamond drilling completed by Peel since the deposit's discovery in 2011. Mallee Bull modelling is based on mineralised domains interpreted by Matrix with oversight by Peel on the basis of 1m down-hole composited assay grades and mineralised intercepts identified by Peel geologists.
The mineralisation interpretation comprises a moderately to steeply westerly dipping mineralised envelope capturing composited NSR values of greater than around $60/t with lower grade intervals included for continuity. The envelope, which extends over around 370m of strike to approximately 850m depth is subdivided into comparatively higher grade Hangingwall and Footwall zones and lower grade Central zone. Each of these zones are subdivided into shallower, comparatively lead and zinc rich mineralisation designated as the Silver Ray domains, and deeper higher copper grade mineralisation designated as the Union domains. The Hangingwall Union domain is further subdivided zones of comparatively higher and lower zinc grades respectively.
A surface representing the base of weathering interpreted by Peel from drill hole logging was used to partition the estimates into weathered and fresh portions. The oxidation zone ranges from around 48m to 104m thick and averages around 67m thick.
The modelled estimates are based on regular 2m down-hole composited drill sample assays from Peel RC and diamond drilling within the mineralised domains. The combined estimation dataset comprises 12,981 composites of which most (71%) are from diamond drilling, and 29% from RC holes. Un-assayed intervals were generally assigned zero grades.
The block model includes copper, lead, zinc, gold, silver, sulphur and iron values. These grades, which are moderately to strongly correlated, were estimated by Kriging accumulation variables (attribute grade x density) and metal grades back calculated from Kriged density values. Densities were assigned to composite grades from immersion or pycnometer measurements where available. Intervals without density measurements were assigned densities from iron grades.
Parent block dimensions utilised for modelling were selected on the basis of the mineralised domain dimensions, sample lengths and drill spacing. Attribute grades were Kriged into 2 by 10 by 10m parent blocks which were sub-locked to minimum dimensions of 0.4 by 2 by 2m at domain boundaries. The northing and elevation dimensions of the parent blocks approximate half the drill intercept spacing in closely drilled portions of the mineralisation.
Only portions of the domains tested by generally 100 by 100m and closer spaced drilling and extrapolated to around 50m from drill intercepts are included in MREs. Estimates with consistently 50 by 50m and closer

spaced drilling are classified as Indicated, and estimates tested by up to approximately 100 by 100m spaced drilling, extrapolated to around 50m from drilling are assigned to the Inferred category.
Net Smelter Return (NSR) values were assigned to model blocks for two processing streams comprising a copper concentrate or a lead and zinc concentrate and leaching, with the maximum value from the two scenarios selected for each block and model blocks classified as Zinc-Lead or Copper mineralisation on this basis. The Silver Ray zones were dominantly classified as Zinc-Lead and the Union Deeps Zones classified as copper mineralisation.
WIRLONG MODELLING
The Wirlong MRE reflects 66,092m of RC and diamond drilling completed by Peel since the deposit's recognition in 2014. Wirlong modelling incorporates an oxidation surface interpretation and mineralised domains interpreted by Matrix and Peel. New drilling data since Wirlong's maiden MRE in November 2021 has resulted in an updated modelling approach which recognises the potential to use bulk mining techniques from the previous selective mining approach.
The mineralised domains capture drill hole intervals with 2m down hole composited copper grades of nominally greater than 0.1% with lower grade intercepts included for continuity. These domains comprise the high grade MBX domain, which is encapsulated within a sub-vertical northwest trending zone designated as the Main domain, and a cross-cutting sub-northerly trending zone designated as the Oblique domain. The Main and Oblique domains represent a halo of stockwork copper mineralisation proximal to the MBX domain. In the mineralised area the oxidation zone ranges from around 40 to 95m thick and averages around 60m thick.
The Main domain, incorporating the MBX domain, is interpreted over around 320m of strike with widths ranging from around 3 to 80m and averaging around 23m. The Oblique domain is interpreted over around 560m of strike with widths generally ranging from around 10m to 130m and averaging 40m. The intersection of the mineralised domains contains the highest copper grades, and this zone was treated as a separate domain for modelling – the Intersection domain. The mineralised domains extend from surface to around 940m depth, below the base of drill intercepts.
The Mineral Resource modelling is based on regular 2m down-hole composited drill sample assays from Peel RC and diamond drilling within the mineralised domains. The combined estimation dataset comprises 8,635 composites of which most (82%) are from diamond drilling, and 18% from RC. Un-assayed intervals were generally assigned zero grades. The metal grades included in the model, which are positively correlated with density were estimated by Kriging accumulation variables and metal grades back calculated. Densities were estimated by Ordinary Kriging with density values assigned to composites from immersion measurements or copper versus density functions for intervals without density measurements.
The block model is rotated by 60o from north-south reflecting the orientation of the Main domain and dominant drilling orientations. Parent block dimensions utilised for modelling were selected on the basis of the mineralised domain geometries, sample lengths and drill spacing. For the MBX and Main domains, attribute grades were Kriged into 4 by 12 by 10m parent blocks elongate parallel to the northwest (300o ) domain strike. For the Oblique domain 12 by 4 by 10m parent blocks elongate towards the northeast (030o ) were used. Both sets of parent blocks were re-blocked to consistent 4 by 4 by 10m dimensions and merged into a combined model which was sub-locked to minimum dimensions of 1 by 1 by 5m at domain boundaries.

The northing and elevation dimensions approximate half the drill intercept spacing in closely drilled portions of the mineralisation.
Estimates for the MBX and Main domains with consistently 50 by 50m and closer spaced drilling were classified as Indicated, and estimates tested by up to approximately 100 by 100m spaced drilling, extrapolated to around 50m from drill hole intercepts were assigned to the Inferred category. For the Oblique domain, which trends obliquely to the dominant drilling orientation and is less well defined by the available drilling, all estimates extrapolated to around 50m from drilling are classified as Inferred. Only portions of the domains tested by generally 100 by 100m and closer spaced drilling and extrapolated to around 50m from drill intercepts are included in MREs.
SOUTHERN NIGHTS-WAGGA TANK MODELLING
The Southern Nights-Wagga Tank MRE is based on 88,037m of RC and diamond drilling predominantly completed by Peel since the project's acquisition in 2016. Southern Nights and Wagga Tanks modelling included construction of block models for Southern Nights and Wagga Tank. The Wagga Tank block model is rotated by 35o from north-south reflecting general mineralised trends in this area.
The models are based on sampling information and an oxidation surface interpretation provided by Peel and mineralised domains interpreted by Matrix with oversight by Peel. The mineralised domains capture continuous drill hole intervals with NSR values of nominally greater than A$60/t with lower grade intercepts included for continuity. These domains comprise main contact zones at Southern Nights and Wagga Tank and one main and four subsidiary eastern zones at Southern Nights. The Southern Nights contact zone includes three internal zones capturing higher grade, massive sulphide mineralisation.
For each block model zinc, lead, copper, gold and silver grades were estimated by Ordinary Kriging of generally 1m down-hole composited assays from RC and diamond drilling within mineralised domains. Densities were estimated by Ordinary Kriging with density values assigned to composites from immersion measurements or sulphur and zinc versus density functions for intervals without density measurements. Zinc, lead and silver grades, which are strongly positively correlated with density, were estimated by Kriging accumulation variables and metal grades back calculated. Copper and gold grades were directly Kriged.
Composites were assigned density values from immersion density measurements where available. The remaining composites were assigned densities from sulphur versus density functions or less commonly zinc versus density functions.
The combined estimation dataset comprises 3,992 composites of which most (85%) are from diamond drilling, and comparatively few (6%) are from historic holes drilled by previous tenement holders.
Attribute values were Kriged into parent blocks of 1 by 10 by 10m and the parent cells were sub-blocked to minimum dimensions of 0.5 by 2.0 by 2.0m for precise representation of domain volumes. Parent block dimensions were selected on the basis of the commonly narrow mineralised domains, sample lengths and drill spacing. The northing and elevation dimensions approximate half the drill intercept spacing in closely drilled portions of the mineralisation.
Estimates with consistently 40 by 40m and closer spaced drilling were classified as Indicated, and estimates tested by up to approximately 80 by 80m spaced drilling, extrapolated to around 40m from drill hole intercepts were assigned to the Inferred category.

MAY DAY MODELLING
The May Day MRE is the product of 13,886m of RC and diamond drilling predominantly completed by Peel since the deposit's acquisition in 2010. The May Day estimation dataset includes composited assay grades from RC and diamond drilling by Epoch Mining and Peel. Epoch's holes were included only in areas without reasonably close coverage by Peel drilling. Subset below the current topography, the mineralised domain estimation dataset is dominated by composites from Peel's RC and diamond sampling which contribute 69% and 16% respectively. Samples from Epoch Mining RC and diamond drilling contribute 12% and 2% respectively.
Micromine software was used for data compilation, calculating and coding of composite values. GS3M was used for Kriging, and the estimates were then imported into a Micromine block model for pit optimisations and reporting. Modelling domains comprise oxidation surface interpretations provided by Peel and mineralised domains interpreted by Matrix in conjunction with Peel geologists.
The oxidation surfaces subdivide the mineralisation into an oxide zone comprising strongly oxidised and moderately oxidised material, and a sulphide zone comprising predominantly fresh and fresh material. Within the Mineral Resource area, the depths from natural surface to the base of strong oxidation and moderate oxidation average around 70m and 90m respectively, with the fresh rock zone occurring at an average depth of around 130m.
May Day mineralisation strikes perpendicular to the 166oazimuth drilling traverses and dips steeply to the north-northwest at an average of around 75o . The mineralised domains comprise a hanging wall gold domain capturing continuous zones of composited gold grades of greater than approximately 0.1 g/t, and a contiguous footwall domain capturing mineralisation with variably elevated base metal grades. These two domains encompass a high-grade base metal domain capturing zones of elevated lead and zinc grades.
The hanging wall gold domain extends over a strike length of around 300m with average widths of around 28m. The footwall domain extends over around 350m of strike with an average horizontal width of around 20m. The elevated base metal domain extends over 250m of strike averaging around 11m wide.
The block model was set up on a rotated grid (model axes aligned to 166o ) to honour the main mineralisation orientation. Parent block dimensions of 25 by 10 by 5m (X, Y, Z) were selected on the basis of sample spacing in the more closely drilled portions of the deposit. Parent blocks were sub-blocked to minimum dimensions of 6.25m by 1.25m by 1.25m for precise representation of domain boundaries.
Gold grades were estimated by Multiple Indicator Kriging of two metre composited assays with silver, lead and zinc and grades estimated by Ordinary Kriging. Bulk densities were assigned by mineralisation and oxidation domain. Strongly oxidised, moderately oxidised mineralisation and combined sulphide mineralisation outside the high-grade base metal domain was assigned densities of 2.30, 2.55 and 2.75 t/bcm respectively. The high-grade base metal domain was assigned densities of 2.50, 2.60 and 2.90 t/bcm for these zones respectively.
Matrix's block model includes estimates classified as Indicated and Inferred primarily on the basis of estimation search pass. Model blocks tested by consistently 25m spaced drilling are classified as Indicated with blocks in more broadly areas classified as Inferred.

The estimates make no allowance for historic underground workings. Available information including a small number of drill hole intersections with underground workings suggests the workings are narrow and volumetrically insignificant at the current level of project assessment.
The optimal pit used to constrain the Open Pit Mineral Resources was generated on the basis of conceptual cost and revenue, and mining parameters described in Table 9.
Underground Mineral Resources are reported within series of mineable shapes produced by Deswik's Shape Optimiser (SO) using a NSR cut-off of AU$80/t. The SO shapes were reviewed, and areas of continuous stopes used to constrain the MRE. The smallest mineable unit (SMU) for the SO shapes is 5 metres long, 5 metres high, with a minimum mining width of 3 metres. These inputs were used to provide a balance between practical mining and mineralisation shapes. For reporting of Mineral Resources, the SO shapes were trimmed below the optimal pit, and selected peripheral zones excluded.
The reported Underground MRE includes internal dilution representing material estimated at below the $80 NSR cut off. Material at this cut-off within optimised stope shapes, is considered by Peel to have reasonable prospects of extraction.

OPTIMAL STOPE AND OPEN PIT CONSTRAINTS
To provide estimates with reasonable prospects of eventual extraction by underground mining, the Mallee Bull, Wirlong, Southern Nights, Wagga Tanks and May Day block models were reported within a set of mineable shapes produced by ANTCIA Consulting Pty Ltd (an independent mining engineer) at NSR thresholds of A$50/t to $120/t with a minimum width of 3m. Oxidised material and comparatively small volumes of peripheral zones were excluded from the underground MREs.
May Day Open Pit Mineral Resources are reported within an optimal pit generated by Matrix utilising cost and revenue parameters specified by Peel, including the metal prices and recoveries shown in Table 5 and 8 respectively, and mining costs for oxide waste/ore and fresh waste/ore of A$12/bcm and A$15/bcm respectively. Underground Mineral Resources for this deposit are constrained below the optimal pit.

In other cases moreexplanation may be required, such as where thereis coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (egsubmarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of | Diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling wereused to obtain samples for geological logging andassaying.Diamond core was cut and sampled at 1m intervals onaverageorintervalsdeterminedbygeologicalcontacts. RC drill holes were sampled at 1m intervalsand split using a cone splitter attached to the cycloneto generate a split of 2-4kg to ensure samplerepresentivity.Multi-element readings were taken of the diamondcore and RC drill chips using an Olympus Delta InnovX portable XRF machine or an Olympus Vanta portableXRF machine.

Reverse circulation drillingutilised a 5 1/2 inch diameter hammer. PQ, HQ and NQcoring was used for diamond drilling.Core has been orientated predominantly using aREFLEX ACT™ system where data is stored on thecontroller and cannot be manipulated. Core sampleswere matched with orientation data using a spirit leveljig. Diamond core was reconstructed into continuousruns on an angle iron cradle for orientation.Orientation quality was noted between orientationmarks based on a tolerance.
