Exploration

Mallee Bull Project: Copper, Silver, Gold, Lead, Zinc; Western NSW (PEX 50% and Manager, CBH 50%). Targets: Cobar-style polymetallic mineralisation; Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide mineralisation.

The Mallee Bull project is a 50:50 Joint Venture with CBH Resources Limited (CBH). A maiden JORC compliant Mineral Resource estimate was completed in May 2014, and comprises 3.9Mt at 2.3% copper, 32 g/t silver and 0.3 g/t gold. Details can be found in the announcement released 27 May 2014; "High Grade Copper Resource at Mallee Bull".

Following the completion of drilling in the December 2015 quarter, which returned high grade copper mineralisation, activities at Mallee Bull comprised of downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveying on multiple holes to assist in identifying additional targets and potential further extensions to the intercepted mineralisation.

Figure 1: Mallee Bull Drill Plan

Holes MBRCDD050W1 and MBRCDD051 were surveyed due to their position to the north of Mallee Bull and their consequent usefulness to screening for extensions to the main deposit. The surveys aimed to locate on- and off-hole conductors to help define the Mallee Bull conductor and possible down-dip and/or along strike extensions. In MBRCDD050W1, two anomalous features were interpreted. The first is a broad wavelength anomaly from 20m to 360m, and the second is a high amplitude short wavelength on-hole anomaly from 360m to 420m. The first anomaly is thought to be sourced by the main Mallee Bull mineralisation south of the hole; this is supported by modelling of the same off-hole conductor used to

satisfy anomalies previously identified in holes MBDD026W1 and MBRCDD049. The second anomaly, the source of which has been interpreted to be located below hole MBRCDD050W1, is potentially linked to an off-hole anomaly in hole MBDD009W2 at 400m as well as the intersection in hole MBDD010 from 512m to 515m (3m @ 5.42% Zn, 2.21% Pb from 512m). Recommendations have been made to investigate the down dip extent of this conductor intersected by MBRCDD050W1.

In MBRC048, which was drilled to the south of the Mallee Bull mineralisation, a single low amplitude offhole anomaly centred at 160m was interpreted, and is thought to be sourced by a conductor below and approximately 200m north of the hole. Considering the 100m gap between hole MBRC048 and the paths of holes MBRCDD010 (5m @ 1.23% Cu, 46 g/t Ag, 1.75 g/t Au from 358m) and MBDD001 (5m @ 0.85% Cu, 0.62 g/t Au from 431m, 3m @ 1.07% Cu, 30 g/t Ag, 2.09 g/t Au, 0.46% Pb, 0.37% Zn from 447m) which are the nearest holes with greater than 150m vertical depth, recommendations have been made to better define the southern edge of the Mallee Bull mineralisation with a drill hole on a northing of 6413180N.

DHEM surveys were also completed on holes MBDD004, MBRCDD007 and MBRCDD008; interpretation of the data is currently ongoing.

Future activities at Mallee Bull, which are anticipated to commence mid-year, will comprise follow-up RC and diamond drilling to the significant intercepts encountered in the last quarter. The holes will aim to further extend mineralisation both to the north and south of the current deposit, with the abovementioned DHEM data to assist in drill planning.

Cobar Superbasin Project: Copper, Silver, Gold, Lead, Zinc; Western NSW (PEX 100%).

Targets: Cobar-style polymetallic mineralisation; Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide mineralisation.

As announced in the September 2014 quarter, the Cobar Superbasin Project is subject to a Memorandum of Agreement with Japan Oil, Gas, and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), under which JOGMEC may earn up to 50% interest by funding up to $7 million of exploration. Details of the JOGMEC MoA can be found in Peel's ASX Announcement released on 30 September 2014.

The March quarter saw the completion of the second stage of exploration under the JOGMEC MoA, which encompassed ~$2 million expenditure. The focus remained on the Wirlong prospect, where drilling in the December quarter confirmed a new and potentially high grade copper discovery.

Wirlong is defined by historic copper workings, a topographic high, a >2km surface multi-element surface geochemical anomaly, and coincident or semi-coincidental geophysical anomalies including magnetic, radiometric, gravity, IP and more recently electromagnetic. Results indicate that Wirlong represents a very large, mineralised, hydrothermal system with a strike length of more than 2.5km, and recent drilling has confirmed a new and potentially high grade copper discovery.

WLRCDD015 (611.7m) was drilled to target, along with gravity, IP chargeability and magnetic anomalies, the northern end of Wirlong's extensive multi-element geochemical anomaly. Initially drilled as an RC drillhole to 402m, the hole was extended with a diamond tail following the completion of DHEM surveying, which identified a conductor positioned beyond the end of hole. This conductor was explained by a 0.9m wide zone of massive chalcopyrite-dominant sulphide mineralisation. Significant intercepts from WLRCDD015 include: 4.9m @ 4.3% Cu, 13 g/t Ag from 402.1m (incl. 0.9m @ 19.5% Cu, 58 g/t Ag from 402.1m), 22m @ 1.0% Cu, 4 g/t Ag from 332m, 3m @ 2.1% Cu, 6 g/t Ag from 451m and 2m @ 1.8% Cu, 13 g/t Ag, 1.63% Zn from 524m.

Diamond hole WLDD001, designed to follow-up WLRCDD015, also returned multiple significant mineralised intercepts including: 9m @ 8.0% Cu, 17 g/t Ag, 0.21 g/t Au from 616m (incl. 2.82m @ 21.85%

Figure 2 – WLDD001 - 2.82m @ 21.85% Cu, 46 g/t Ag, 0.62 g/t Au from 619.68m

Mineralisation in both holes comprises chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite+/-sphalerite+/-galena+/-pyrite and occurs as sulphide disseminations, veins and veinlets, breccia, and massive sulphides within occasionally sheared/deformed and altered (silica-chlorite-sericite) turbidite sediments and/or felsic volcanics (rhyolite/rhyodacite). The true width of mineralisation remains unknown at this stage however is thought to be sub-vertical in geometry.

Initially drilled to a depth of 728.5m, WLDD001 was extended to a final depth of 873.2m with mineralisation again present as sub-economic sulphide (pyrrhotite-sphalerite-galena-chalcopyrite-pyrite) disseminations throughout in varying concentrations.

Approximately 470m to the south-east of WLDD001, drillhole WLRCDD021 was drilled to test the centre of the multi-element geochemical anomaly and magnetic anomaly. The hole intersected a fault breccia zone and was subsequently abandoned at 174.7m. The target was re-drilled with diamond hole WLDD002 (1089.1m).

WLDD002 also encountered broken ground, with core showing intense fragmented sediments and crisscrossing carbonate fracture-fill veining; the drillhole is thought to have followed a transverse fault. Anomalous values of Cu were returned from 975m, where veinlets of quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite (+/- weak sphalerite and pyrrhotite) were seen in the broken siltstone/sandstone. The veinlets, where orientated, are dipping steeply west. Peak Cu values include 1m @ 0.36% Cu from 975m, 1m @ 0.47% Cu from 998m, 1m @ 1.01% Cu from 1006m and 1m @ 0.23% Cu from 1012m.

At the time of reporting, drilling at Wirlong has now resumed; drillhole WLRC008 (3m @ 0.57% Cu, 1.24% Zn, 7 g/t Ag from 54m, 5m @ 1.64% Zn, 0.82% Pb, 2 g/t Ag from 93m, 1m @ 6.44% Zn, 3.81% Pb, 0.54% Cu, 18 g/t Ag from 113m), which was drilled in August 2015, has been extended with a diamond tail by 100m to a total depth of 450m to test an EM plate detected in the hole, and an additional 7-8 RC and/or diamond holes are planned to continue testing the Wirlong magnetic, gravity and geochemical anomalies and to follow-up the significant drill intercepts from the December quarter.

Apollo Hill Project: Gold; Northeastern Goldfields WA (PEX 100%).

Targets: Archean gold deposits.

During the quarter drilling was completed at Peel’s 100%-owned Apollo Hill gold project near Leonora WA. Drilling was designed to assess the potential to expand Apollo Hill’s existing JORC inferred resource estimate of 17.2 million tonnes at 0.9 g/t Au for 505,000oz of gold (using a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off; see ASX release dated 9.9.2011 – “48% Jump in Apollo Hill gold resource to 505,000oz”). Encouragingly, high grade gold results were returned, extending the Apollo Hill Main Zone mineralisation by up to 250m along strike south-east, remaining open to the south-east, and importantly, indicating good potential to add to the existing 505,000 oz inferred resource.

The programme of work comprised 7 new RC drillholes (PARC033 to PARC039) and an extension to an existing RC drillhole (PARC031) for 1,803m. The programme aimed to extend the limits of known mineralisation of the Apollo Hill Main Zone, both laterally and at depth, as well as infill an area of sparse drilling in the south-eastern portion. Significant mineralised intercepts were returned from multiple drillholes.

Drillholes PARC036 and an extension to PARC31 were designed to test for mineralisation beyond the south-eastern limits of the current resource domain. Both drillholes returned extensional mineralisation with PARC036 returning 8m @ 6.39 g/t Au from 71m (incl. 3m @ 15.6 g/t Au from 74m) and 10m @ 4.23 g/t Au from 94m (incl. 5m @ 6.31 g/t Au from 95m) whilst PARC031 returned 28m @ 0.86 g/t Au from 207m, indicating good potential to extend the Apollo Hill resource further to the south-east.

Drillholes PARC037 and PARC038 were designed to infill an area of sparse drilling in the south-eastern portion of the Apollo Hill Main Zone mineralisation. Both drillholes intersected zones of gold mineralisation with PARC037 returning 1m @ 8.09 g/t Au from 47m and 1m @ 4.77 g/t Au from 120m whilst PARC038 returned 5m @ 1.56 g/t Au from 19m, 1m @ 4.4 g/t Au from 53m, 1m @ 5.20 g/t AU from 95m, 1m @ 4.23 g/t Au from 113m, 1m @ 19.55 g/t Au from 142m and 1m @ 8.50 g/t Au from 162m .

Drillholes PARC033, PARC034 and PARC035 were all drilled to test for downdip extensions to the Apollo Hill Main Zone mineralisation. All drillholes intercepted multiple gold mineralised zones with PARC033 returning 10m @ 0.76 g/t Au from 214m , PARC034 returning 5m @ 1.71 g/t Au from 209m, 1m @ 7.51 g/t Au from 246m and 1m @ 42.77 g/t AU from 287m, and PARC035 returning 12m @ 0.85 g/t Au from 258m.

Drillhole PARC039 was designed to test for mineralisation beyond the north-western limits of the current resource domain, however only minor mineralisation was returned.

Multiple gold mineralisation events are interpreted to have occurred at Apollo Hill during a complex deformational history with gold mineralisation accompanied by quartz veins and carbonate-pyrite alteration associated with a mafic-felsic contact. Mineralised intercepts reported above are interpreted to be close to true widths.

Planning for follow-up work is now underway.

In addition to recent drilling at Apollo Hill, an additional phase of metallurgical testwork has been underway since early 2016 and is now nearing completion. This testwork has comprised: column leach (simulated heap leach) and associated tests on 4mm and 8mm crushed and agglomerated products; agitated leach tests at P80 sizes of 300um, 150um and 75um with, and without, upfront gravity gold;

Acquisition of Wagga Tank/Mount View Projects: Copper, Silver, Gold, Lead, Zinc; Western NSW (PEX

100%). Targets: Cobar-style polymetallic mineralisation; Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide mineralisation.

During and subsequent to the quarter, Peel completed sale agreements to acquire 4 additional tenements within the Cobar Superbasin, known as the Mount View and Wagga Tank Projects.

EL7484 and EL7581, the Mount View Project, were acquired from MMG Australia Limited. EL7484 adjoins EL7461 (host to the Mallee Bull and May Day deposits), and contains the May Day Tails prospect, a large untested coincident magnetic and geochemical anomaly.

EL7226 and EL6695, the Wagga Tank Project, was held in Joint Venture by MMG Australia Limited (80%) and Golden Cross Operations Pty Ltd (20%). Subsequent to the quarter’s end, Peel acquired 100% of the Joint Venture interests with MMG Australia Limited receiving $1 consideration and 2% NSR on any future metals production; and Golden Cross Operations Pty Ltd receiving $40,000 cash. The Wagga Tank Project comprises many historic mineral occurrences and prospects including the namesake Wagga Tank polymetallic deposit.

Peel expects the completion of the transfer of tenements during the current quarter.

Table 1 - Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data for Mallee Bull/Cobar Superbasin 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
 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. 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
RC drill chips using an Olympus Delta
Innov-X portable XRF tool. The portable
XRF was calibrated against standards after
every 30 readings.

detailed information.
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, reverse circulation and rotary air
blast. Reverse circulation drilling utilised a
5 1/2 inch diameter hammer. A blade bit
was predominantly used for RAB drilling.
NQ and HQ 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 and RAB samples are not weighed on a
regular basis due to the exploration nature
of drilling but no significant sample
recovery issues have been encountered in
a drilling program 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.
 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 to date have generally
been high. Insufficient data is available at
present to determine if a relationship
exists between recovery and grade. This
will be assessed once a statistically valid
amount of data is available to make a
determination.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
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
geologically logged. Core samples are
orientated and logged for geotechnical
information. Drill chip samples are logged
at 1m intervals from surface to the bottom
of each individual hole to a level that will
support
appropriate
future
Mineral
Resource studies.
 Logging of diamond core, RC and RAB
samples records lithology, mineralogy,
mineralisation, structure (DDH
only),
weathering, colour and other features of
the samples. Core is photographed as both
wet and dry.
 All diamond, RC drill holes in the current
program weregeologicallylogged in full.

and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter,
half or all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary

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

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments,
etc,
the
parameters
used
in
determining the analysis including instrument make
and model, reading times, calibrations factors
applied and their derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy
(ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.
 ALS Laboratory (Orange) was used for Au
analysis work carried out on the 1m drill
chip samples. The laboratory techniques
below are for all samples submitted to ALS
and are considered appropriate for the
style of mineralisation defined at Sandy
Creek, Wirlong, Red Shaft and Burthong:

 Assaying of soil samples in the field was by
portable XRF instrument Olympus Delta
Innov-X Analyser. Reading time was 40
seconds per reading with a total 3 readings
per sample.
 The QA/QC data includes standards,
duplicates
and
laboratory
checks.
Duplicates for drill core are collected by
the lab every 30 samples after the core
sample is pulverised. Duplicates for
percussion drilling are collected directly
from the drill rig or the metre sample bag
using a half round section of pipe. In-house
QA/QC tests are conducted by the lab on
each batch of samples with standards
supplied by the same companies that
supplyour own.

The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
 All geological logging and sampling
information is completed in spreadsheets,
which are then transferred to a database
for validation and compilation at the Peel
head office. Electronic copies of all
information are backed up periodically.

 No adjustments of assay data are
considered necessary.
Location
of
data points
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 samples. Standard
practice is for the GPS to be left at the site
of the collar for a period of 10 minutes to
obtain a steady reading. Collars are picked
up after by DGPS. Down-hole surveys are
conducted by the drill contractors using
predominantly a Reflex gyroscopic tool
with readings every 10m after drill hole
completion.
On
occasion
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 the magnetic azimuth.
 Grid system used is MGA 94 (Zone 55). All
down-hole
magnetic
surveys
were
converted to MGA94grid.
Data spacing
and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological and
grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s)
and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
 Data/drill hole spacing is variable and
appropriate to the geology and historical
drilling.
 6m sample compositing has been applied
to RC and RAB drilling at Sandy Creek,
Wirlong, Red Shaft and Burthong for gold
and multi-element assay.
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).
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.  The chain of custody is managed by the
project geologist who places calico sample
bags in polyweave sacks. Up to 5 calico
sample bags are placed in each sack. Each
sack is clearly labelled with:
o
Peel Mining Ltd
o
Address of Laboratory
o
Sample range
 Detailed records are kept of all samples
that are dispatched, including details of
chain of custody.
Audits
or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
 Data is validated when loading into the
database. No formal external audit has
been conducted.

of the report, the Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
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.
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
reporting exploration results.
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 generally estimated to be
about 60% of the downhole width.
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.
 All results are reported.
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.

extensions,
including
the
main
geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided
this information is not commercially sensitive.
 Future work at Mallee Bull will include
diamond and RC drilling to further define
the extent of mineralization at the
prospect. Down hole electromagnetic
(DHEM) surveys will be used to identify
potential conductive sources that may be
related to mineralization.
 Future work within the Cobar Superbasin
tenements
will
involve
geophysical
surveying, geochemical sampling and
RC/diamond drilling to target existing

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

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
 The project is located in the Archean aged
Norseman-Wiluna Belt, Eastern Goldfields
Province of the Yilgarn Craton. The deposit
occurs
in
a
mineralised
structure
associated with the 1km wide Apollo Shear
Zone, a component of the Keith-Kilkenny
Fault system. Strongly deformed felsic
volcanoclastic rocks lie to the west of the
Apollo shear, with relatively undeformed
pillow basalt and dolerite to the east.
Zones
of
mylonitisation,
shearing,
brecciation and fracturing caused by the
shear is present along the contact, and
resulting open space structures are
favourable for trapping ore fluids and
forming ore deposits. Multiple gold
mineralisation events are interpreted to
have occurred at Apollo Hill during a
complex
deformational
history.
Gold
mineralisation is accompanied by quartz
veins and carbonate-pyrite alteration
associated with a mafic-felsic contact.

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.
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.
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
reporting exploration results.
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 generally estimated to be
about 60% of the down-hole width.
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.
 All results are reported.
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.
 Future work at Apollo Hill will include
further RC and diamond drilling and
geochemical sampling.
