Technical Director, Rob Tyson Commented:
"The assay results from the recent reconnaissance drilling at Ambergris have confirmed the prospect's potential to host significant mineralisation, yielding broad intervals of base and precious metals mineralisation indicative of a substantial hydrothermal system. These initial results are akin to those seen in the early stages of exploration at other Cobar deposits, such as Mallee Bull. Planning is now underway to follow up the recent results to further advance this encouraging target".
Ambergris Drilling Summary
Ambergris is contained within Peel's 100%-owned EL8655 tenement located ~100km SSE of Cobar, ~10km NE of Mallee Bull. The greater Ambergris area includes the Ambergris, Cachalot, Peel 10, Maloney's Tank, Kewpie and Tigerland prospects covering ~4km of strike (see Figure 2).
Ambergris is an advanced greenfields target comprising multi-element pXRF and laboratory analysed geochemical anomalism; with proximal IP chargeability and subtle magnetic anomalism; with associated altered geology. The Ambergris area is postulated to occur near the intersection of several major regional scale structures.
A reconnaissance exploration drilling program, comprising nine RC drillholes (AMRC001-009) for 2,574m, was recently completed at various targets across the wider Ambergris area. The drillholes were designed to test numerous coincident or semi-coincident geophysical and geochemical anomalies that are present at the greater Ambergris area.
Table 1 lists the location and orientation of all drillholes. Table 2 lists significant assay results returned from drillholes AMRC006, AMRC007 and AMRC008. Appendix 1 provides a summary of all drillholes.
As previously reported, drillholes AMRC006 and AMRC007 (approximately 150m N-S apart), targeted to test beneath the main Ambergris prospect, both returned significant pyrite-sphalerite-galenachalcocite mineralisation, intercepted on the eastern edge of an IP chargeability anomaly, and down dip of surface multielement geochemical anomalism.
AMRC006 (288m) intersected a 24m wide zone of variable sulphide mineralisation including pyrite, galena, sphalerite and chalcocite at 236m downhole (~140m below surface). Mineralisation was
ACN 119 343 734
PO Box 849, West Perth WA 6872 www.peelmining.com.au

associated with strongly silica-sericite altered volcaniclastic and sedimentary rocks. Significant assays included:
- 24m @ 0.60% Zn, 0.52% Pb, 0.25% Cu, 12g/t Ag, 0.08g/t Au from 236m including:
- o 2m @ 2.38% Cu, 73g/t Ag, 0.58% Pb, 0.23% Zn, 0.24g/t Au from 236m;
- o 1m @ 2.25% Pb, 0.62% Zn, 0.25% Cu, 19g/t Ag, 0.07g/t Au from 240m; and
- o 2m @ 3.63% Zn, 2.62% Pb, 18g/t Ag, 0.15g/t Au from 252m.
AMRC007 (270m) intersected a 53m wide zone of variable pyrite, galena and sphalerite mineralisation from 191m. Mineralisation was associated with strongly silica-sericite altered volcaniclastic and sedimentary rocks. Significant assays included:
- 53m @ 0.59% Zn, 0.26% Pb, 4g/t Ag from 191m including:
- o 11m @ 2.14% Zn, 0.48% Pb, 9g/t Ag from 198m;
- o 2m @ 3.10% Pb, 0.56% Zn, 0.14% Cu, 15g/t Ag, 0.1g/t Au from 230m; and
- o 1m @ 0.44% Cu, 23g/t Ag, 0.31g/t Au from 240m.
Additionally, AMRC008 (264m), located ~150m north of AMRC006, intersected several zones of mineralisation comprising variable pyrite, galena and sphalerite, significant assays included:
- 8m @ 1.20% Zn, 0.25% Pb, 5g/t Ag from 174m and:
- 7m @ 0.21% Zn, 0.28% Pb, 5g/t Ag, 0.11g/t Au from 234m.
AMRC006 to AMRC008's geology comprised intermixed sandstones and siltstones, with highly altered volcaniclastic and sedimentary rocks associated with the mineralised zones.
It is currently posited that mineralisation is near vertical which means that downhole widths are interpreted to be ~80% of true width. It should be noted that the Ambergris drilling intercepts are relatively shallow compared to other Cobar style deposits.
Further commentary regarding geochemical results received to date can be found in Appendix 1.
Next Steps
Follow-up exploration and planning is underway. Infill and extensional surface geochemical surveying has recently been completed with results pending. A downhole electromagnetic survey is to be undertaken in the near future to search for any potential conductor(s).
This announcement has been approved for release by the Peel Mining Limited Board of Directors.

Appendix 1
AMRC001 targeted the Maloney's Tank prospect and intercepted anomalous Ag-As-Au-Pb-Sb-Zn mineralisation, in sediments explaining the coincident multi-element surface geochemical anomaly and associated chargeable IP anomaly.
AMRC002 targeted the Kewpie prospect, located ~600m south of Maloney's Tank. AMRC002 also intercepted a narrow zone of anomalous As-Au-Pb-Sb-Zn mineralisation in sediments, explaining the anomalous multi-element surface geochemistry.
AMRC003 to AMRC009 were drilled ~2km south at the namesake Ambergris prospect targeting numerous IP chargeable, magnetic, gravity and multi-element surface geochemical anomalies.
AMRC003 intercepted sediments and significantly, volcaniclastic sandstone, with associated very strong silica-sericite-pyrite alteration including highly anomalous Ag-Au-Pb-Sb-Zn mineralisation. Anomalous As-Pb-Sb-Tl-Zn was returned from end of hole at 330m.
AMRC004, located ~300m north of AMRC004, failed to properly test its target with the drillhole dip dropping significantly, retuning only weakly anomalous As-Pb-Zn mineralisation in sediments.
AMRC005 targeted the western side of the Ambergris prospect area with a coincident strong gravity and a surface multi-element geochemical anomaly. The drillhole intersected only weakly anomalous Pb-Zn however highly anomalous As-Tl was intercepted from 79-81m associated with a pyrite-rich interval.
AMRC006 successfully targeted the altered volcanic package intersected in AMRC003, coincident with various geophysical and geochemical anomalies. Strong mineralisation (pyrite-galena-sphaleritechalcocite) was identified with results reported herein. Mineralisation was observed within sedimentary units, the volcanic unit, and on the sedimentary-volcanic contact.
AMRC007 was drilled east of AMRC003, and successfully targeted the altered volcanic horizon coincident with various geophysical and geochemical anomalies. Strong mineralisation (pyrite-galenasphalerite) was identified with results reported herein. Mineralisation was observed within sedimentary units, the volcanic unit, and on the sedimentary-volcanic contact.
AMRC008 was drilled ~150m N of AMRC006, successfully targeting the altered volcanic horizon coincident with various geophysical and geochemical anomalies. Moderate mineralisation (pyritegalena-sphalerite) was identified with results reported herein. Mineralisation was observed within sedimentary and volcanic units.
AMRC009 was drilled ~150m SSE of AMRC003, successfully targeting a southern continuation of the altered volcanic horizon coincident with various geophysical and geochemical anomalies. The hole intersected weak-moderately anomalous Pb-Zn-As mineralisation (pyrite-galena-sphalerite) within sedimentary units and within the volcanic unit.
