Corporate
Successful Placement and Fully Underwritten Rights Issue
During the quarter, Peel Mining Limited (“Peel” or “Company”) successfully completed a placement of 60,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.175 per share (Placement) to raise AUD$10.5 million (before costs). The placement was followed by a 1:8 pro-rata non-renounceable entitlement offer at an issue price of $0.175 per share (Rights Issue) to raise an additional AUD$6.6 million (before costs). The placement was issued to institutional, sophisticated and professional investors, with assistance from Cannaccord Genuity Limited, under its placement capacity per ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A. The entitlement issue was heavily supported by existing shareholders with an 82% take up, with the balance being placed with the underwriters, Cannaccord Genuity Limited, who in turn, placed the balance with Sub-underwriters and overs applications from existing shareholders. Both the Placement and Rights Issue were heavily oversubscribed with strong support from new and existing shareholders.
Acquisition of the Mallee Bull Joint Venture Interest
In early August, Peel exercised its pre-emptive right to acquire CBH Resources Limited’s 50% share of the Mallee Bull Joint Venture, to take Peel to 100% ownership of the project, by matiching a third party’s unconditional cash offer of AUD$17 million. Peel and CBH Resources Limited have executed a formal sale and purchase agreement for the Mallee Bull project, which contains the Mallee Bull and May Day deposits. The acquistion, and subsequent termination of the JV, will take place upon settlement which is subject to Ministerial approval for the transfer of title. Peel’s tenement manager has commenced the transfer of title process, which is anticipated to occur in the coming months.
Peel Regains 100% Control of Cobar Superbasin Assets
During the quarter the Company received written notice from Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) of its decision to withdraw from the Cobar Superbasin Project (CSP), and to terminate the Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) between the two companies. The CSP joint venture was formed in September 2014 through the MoA. During the six years of the MoA, JOGMEC contributed more than $8 million of funding towards exploration, resulting in the discovery of the Wirlong copper deposit and the advancement of multiple other targets within the CSP. JOGMEC’s rights and interests in Wirlong and associated CSP tenure were returned to 100% Peel ownership at no cost. A Deed of Release was signed by both parties post quarter end to finalise the arrangement.
Exercise of Pre-Emptive Right to Purchase Wirlong Royalty
At the end of September the Company exercised its pre-emptive right to acquire Weddarla Pty Ltd’s 1.5% Net Smelter Return (NSR) royalty over tenement EL8307, by matching a third party’s unconditional cash offer of $1.2 million. Weddarla had notified Peel that it had received an offer from a Toronto Stock Exchange listed royalty streaming business to purchase the 1.5% NSR royalty associated with EL8307. Pursuant to Peel’s first right of refusal under the Royalty Deed, Weddarla offered to sell the 1.5% NSR royalty to Peel for AUD$1.2 million (excluding GST) cash. In accordance with the terms of the Royalty Deed, Peel has elected to exercise its right to acquire the royalty interest. Following the acquisition and JOGMEC’s withdrawal from the Cobar Superbasin Project (mentioned above), Peel will have 100% unencumbered ownership of all its Cobar Basin tenements.
EL8307 was part of the Cobar Superbasin Project and contains the Wirlong copper-silver deposit, as well as the Sandy Creek and Red Shaft prospects. Wirlong, discovered in 2016, represents a classic Cobar-style VMS copper deposit analogous to the CSA mine. Peel intends to undertake drilling at Wirlong over the coming months with the objective of establishing a copper-rich Maiden mineral resource estimate.

Figure 1 Hub and Spoke Development Model
Peel recently engaged GR Engineering Services to complete a conceptual polymetallic mill design to process ~1Mtpa, with the mill envisaged to be centrally located amongst Peel’s projects. The conceptual plant would be capable of processing gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc, the primary metals associated with Peel’s deposits and with the Cobar Basin in general. In concert with this work, Peel is undertaking significant metallurgical and ore sorting testwork to optimise mine designs, process flowsheets and plant designs.
Peel has also recently engaged ore sorting specialists Steinert and Tomra to conduct ore sorting testwork on Southern Nights and Mallee Bull mineralisation to establish the potential, at the mine site, of concentrating grade and reducing tonnes to minimise transport and processing costs to develop a new model of delivering higher grade to a regional processing plant.
COVID-19
During quarter, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company continued its precautionary measures as part of its OHS policies to ensure that risk around COVID-19 is minimised for all employees and contractors. These measures include restrictions on non-essential travel, as well as social distancing and increased awareness around hygiene.
Peel restarted its field drilling program during the quarter, primarily utilising NSW-based staff. The company has planned extensive resource drill programs and field work across its Cobar projects for the remainder of the financial year. The Company will continue to monitor the situation in relation to COVID19, and the government’s advice around the pandemic, and will seek to act in accordance with this advice to ensure a safe working environment for all its staff.

Mineralisation at May Day occurs as a steeply dipping zone of highly altered, sheared and partly brecciated siltstone and volcaniclastics. Primary mineralisation has been identified in deeper drilling (100250m below the surface) and comprises pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite with gold and silver considered to occur within both galena and tetrahedrite.
During the quarter, 3 diamond holes, 1 diamond tail and 26 reverse circulation (RC) holes were drilled at the May Day deposit with RC drilling on-going post quarter end. Diamond holes MDDD001-003 and diamond tail MDRCDD007 were drilled primarily for metallurgical test work material in addition to improving the geotechnical, geological and structural understanding of the deposit. Assay results for diamond drillholes have been received subsequent to the quarter’s end. Results have confirmed a broad zone of gold mineralization hosted within a sheared package of intercalated sediments and volcaniclastics (see Figure 2). Initial results include:
-
14m @ 1.89g/t Au, 28g/t Ag, 0.48% Zn, 0.32% Pb, 0.09% Cu from 98m within 31.5m @ 1.05g/t Au, 26g/t Ag, 0.89% Zn, 0.78% Pb, 0.16% Cu from 95m in MDDD001
-

The May Day deposit remains open along strike and down-dip with an updated resource estimate for the May Day project anticipated for the December 2020 quarter. Drilling is expected to be completed by ~mid November and further metallurgical testwork and pit optimisations will be completed in an effort to produce a mineable resource which will then form the basis for concept study work. It is envisaged that May Day has the potential to supply initial feed for a conceptual mill, as part of the Hub and Spoke development strategy, in the southern part of the Cobar Basin.
Next Steps
Resource definition drilling at May Day is nearing completion with assay results expected to flow until ~December. The Company anticipated completing an updated mineral resource estimate in early 2021.

Mallee Bull - Copper, Silver, Gold, Lead, Zinc; Western NSW (PEX 100% pending transfer of title)
At Mallee Bull, the Company plans to undertake infill resource drilling, once the transfer of title has taken place, in an effort to define a predominantly indicated classified mineable resource. Drilling will mostly like commence early in the new year depending on the transfer of title. An existing internal scoping study for Mallee Bull will then be updated to reflect its potential contribution to a conceptual Hub and Spoke development model. Currently, the Mallee Bull deposit has a JORC compliant Mineral Resource of 6.76 million tonnes at 1.8% copper, 31 g/t silver, 0.4 g/t gold, 0.6% lead and 0.6% zinc (2.6% copper equivalent) containing approximately 175,000t copper equivalent. (using a 1% copper equivalent cut-off).

==> picture [149 x 57] intentionally omitted <==
Next Steps
Peel has completed planning in preparation for resource infill/definition drilling which is anticipated to comprise ~15,000m diamond drilling designed primarily to establish Indicated Resource classification. Other activities that will be undertaken at Mallee Bull will include metallurgical testwork, geotechnical studies, underground mining studies, and resource modeling and estimation. No significant work at Mallee Bull is anticipated until after settlement of the Mallee Bull JV buyback following the transfer of title.
Southern Nights - Zinc, Lead, Silver, Copper, Gold; Western NSW (PEX 100%).
The Southern Nights deposit is located on the western edge of the Cobar Superbasin, ~130 km south of Cobar or ~30km northwest of Mount Hope and is host to the polymetallic VMS-type deposit. Mineralisation straddles a broad zone of intense tectonic brecciation and hydrothermal alteration (sericite-chlorite with local silicification) and occur as sub-vertical elongate shoots/lenses. Drilling by Peel to date has focused on defining the geometry and extent of large-scale Zn-rich mineralisation at Southern Nights.
During the quarter drilling continued at Southern Nights to test for southerly extensions to the mineral system and to follow-up previously intersected gold-rich mineralisation seen in WTRCDD238. Five reverse circulation (RC) holes with diamond tails were completed (WTRCDD242-WTRCDD246) at the southern end of Southern Nights.
Drillhole WTRCDD243, located around 30m south of WTRCDD238, intersected massive/semi-massive sulphide (pyrite-sphalerite-galena) zones from ~274.5-278.5m and ~281-283m downhole. Variable disseminated to stringer/semi-massive sulphides (pyrite dominant) continued downhole to end of hole (372.7m).
Drillhole WTRCDD244, located ~70m south of WTRCDD238, intersected a generally massive sulphide (pyrite-sphalerite-galena) zone from ~277-293m downhole. Variable disseminated to stringer/semimassive sulphides (pyrite dominant) continued downhole to end of hole (350m).
Drillholes WTRCDD242, 245 and 246 all intercepted disseminated to stringer/semi-massive sulphides (pyrite dominant). Assays are pending for all Southern Nights drilling.
Next Steps
Planning for infill and extensional drilling at Southern Nights has been completed, with start-up subject to receiving additional regulatory approval. Detailed metallurgical testwork focused on improved metal selectivity and recoveries, as well as ore sorting trials remain ongoing at the time of reporting.
Wagga Tank - Zinc, Lead, Silver, Copper, Gold; Western NSW (PEX 100%).
The Wagga Tank deposit is located on the western edge of the Cobar Superbasin, ~130 km south of Cobar or ~30km northwest of Mount Hope situated 800m north of Southern Nights and is host to the polymetallic VMS-type deposit. Mineralisation straddles a broad zone of intense tectonic brecciation and hydrothermal alteration (sericite-chlorite with local silicification) and occur as sub-vertical elongate shoots/lenses. Drilling by Peel to date has focused on defining the geometry and extent of the Zn-Pb-AgAu-Cu rich mineralisation at Wagga Tank.

==> picture [149 x 57] intentionally omitted <==
Next Steps
Planning of resource definition drilling targeting a shallow oxide gold target at Wagga Tank is underway and is subject to regulatory approvals and access negotiations. Metallurgical testwork will continue in the coming quarter, as part of scoping studies on the project.
Wirlong - Copper, Silver; Western NSW (PEX 100%).
Wirlong is located ~75km south of Cobar or about 40km north of May Day. Wirlong represents a classic Cobar-style Cu-Ag deposit analogous to the CSA mine. The prospect is pre-resource, however internal modelling shows good potential to establish a copper-rich Maiden mineral resource. Strong copper mineralisation commences at ~60m below surface and has been defined to at least 600m below surface. The deposit remains open along strike and at depth. Peel plans to undertake a resource definition drilling programme to establish a maiden copper dominant resource.
Next Steps
Planning for drilling at Wirlong has been completed with regulatory approval received. Drilling to establish a maiden resource at the deposit is proposed to commence following the May Day drillout. Preliminary metallurgical testwork, as well as ore sorting trials are planned, along with mining studies, resource modelling and estimation and scoping studies.
Siegal’s Shaft - Zinc, Lead, Silver, Copper, Gold; Western NSW (PEX 100%).
Siegals Project is located near the western edge of the Cobar Superbasin, ~110 km south of Cobar or ~35km north of Mount Hope, and represents a polymetallic VMS-type target with historic workings, significant geophysical and geochemical anomalies, and significant historic drill intercepts.
During the quarter, 6 reverse circulation (RC) holes were drilled to test the geophysical anomalies at the Siegals prospect. Drill progress was hampered by wet weather and issues with ground conditions. All drillholes intercepted variable sulphide mineralisation, however no significant economic assays were returned.
Next Steps
Further work is subject to a detailed review of recent drilling results.
Finance
At the end of the quarter the Company had AUD$ 23,179,345 cash at bank.
Included in the Appendix 5B – Section 6 are amounts paid to the Directors of the Company during the September quarter totalling $169,812, comprising of normal remuneration payments of Director and Managing Director fees, salary and superannuation.

Table 1 - Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data for the South Cobar 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 submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
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 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 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 at Wirlong and Mallee Bull to date havegenerallybeen high. |

| Sample recoveries at Wagga Tank have been variable with broken ground occurring in places and poorer sample recoveries encountered. 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. Sample recoveries at Southern Nights have beengenerallyhigh to date. |
||
| 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 were geologically logged in full except at Wagga Tank where logging is still underway. |
| Sub-sampling techniques 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 split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub- sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Drill core was cut with a core saw and half core taken. The RC drilling rigs were equipped with an in-built cyclone and splitting system, which 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. |

The laboratory techniques below are for all samples submitted to ALS and are considered appropriate for the style of mineralisation defined at Peel’s South Project: oPUL-23 (Sample preparation code) oAu-AA25 Ore Grade Au 30g FA AA Finish, Au-AA26 Ore Grade Au 50g FA AA Finish oME-ICP41 35 element aqua regia ICP-AES, with an appropriate Ore Grade base metal AA finish oME-ICP61 33 element 4 acid digest ICP-AES, with an appropriate Ore Grade base metal AA finish oME-MS61 48 element 4 acid digest ICP-MS and ICP-AES, with an appropriate Ore Grade base metal AA finish Assaying of samples in the field was by portable XRF instruments: Olympus Delta Innov-X or Olympus Vanta Analysers. Reading time for Innov-X was 20 seconds per reading with a total 3 readings per sample. Reading time for Vanta was 10 & 20 seconds per reading with 2 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. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
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 |
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 5 minutes to obtain a steady reading. Collars are routinely picked up after by DGPS. Down- hole surveys are conducted by the drill contractors using either a Reflex gyroscopic tool with readings every 10m after drill hole completion or 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. 3m to 6m sample compositing has been applied to RC drilling at Mallee Bull for gold and/or 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: oPeel Mining Ltd oAddress of Laboratory oSample range Detailed records are kept of all samples that are dispatched, including details of chain of custody. |

| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Work at May Day was completed by multiple previous explorers including Mt Hope Minerals, Le Nickel, Epoch Mining, Imperial Corporation, and Triako. Significant work included diamond drilling by Mt Hope Minerals to ~270 m below the surface targeting a resistivity high and a surface geochemical anomaly. Le Nickel continued exploration (in conjunction with Mt Hope Minerals) in the mid-1970s, which included further diamond drilling. Between 1987 and 1991 Epoch Mining carried out relatively shallow (less than 100m below surface) reverse circulation and diamond drilling. Work at Mallee Bull was completed in the area by several former tenement holders including Triako Resources between 2003 and 2009; it included diamond drilling, IP surveys, geological mapping and reconnaissance geochemical sampling around the historic Four Mile Goldfield area. Prior to Triako Resources, Pasminco Exploration explored the Cobar Basin area for a “Cobar-type” or “Elura-type” zinc- lead-silver or copper-gold-lead-zinc deposit. Work at Wagga Tank was completed by multiple previous explorers including Newmont, Homestake, Amoco, Cyprus, Arimco, Golden Cross, Pasminco and MMG. Minimal exploration has been completed at the Wagga Tank area since 1989. |

| described the workings in the May Day area as primarily for gold which was “disseminated through slate near the junction of porphyry”. The main rock types within the open cut consist of variably chlorite and talc altered crystal-vitric tuff and tuffaceous siltstone of the Mount Halfway Volcanics and interbedded sandstone, siltstone and claystone of the Upper Amphitheatre Group. The contact between the two units is gradational and well exposed within the open cut. The rocks have been folded by steeply northeast-plunging folds with an associated upright northeast-trending axial plane cleavage. Within some of the volcaniclastic rocks the cleavage is intense and appears as a shear fabric. Numerous thrust faults, with various orientations, disrupt the sequence and generally post- date the northeasterly plunging folds. Primary gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc mineralisation occurs within deformed quartz veins, mainly within the volcaniclastic rocks, with associated clinochlore alteration. Based upon previous exploration work and the apparent way in which mining was carried out, the mineralised zones appear to be steeply plunging shoots. A structural analysis suggests that the mineralised veins were emplaced into the zone of shearing, synchronous with its formation, accompanying steeply northeast plunging folds. It is considered that the structural and lithological features within the open cut are best explained by asymmetric folding. This deformation is considered to have occurred in the late Early Devonian, consistent with features of the Cobar deformation event observed elsewhere in the region. The northeast trend of structures, in contrast to the general northerly trend observed regionally, is attributed to refraction by the northeast trending Gilgunnia Granite, nine kilometres to the northwest of the mine. Oblique thrust faulting, with associated folding, has disrupted the sequence and is attributed to a separate stress regime, assumed to be part of the Carboniferous Kanimblan Orogeny. The Mallee Bull prospect area lies within the Cobar-Mt Hope Siluro-Devonian |

| sedimentary and volcanic units. The northern Cobar region consists of predominantly sedimentary units with tuffaceous member, whilst the southern Mt Hope region consists of predominantly felsic volcanic rocks; the Mallee Bull prospect seems to be located in an area of overlap between these two regions. Mineralisation at the Mallee Bull discovery features the Cobar-style attributes of short strike lengths (<200m), narrow widths (5- 20m) and vertical continuity, and occurs as a shoot-like structure dipping moderately to the west. Wagga Tank, is believed to be a volcanic- hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) or Cobar- style deposit, and is located ~130 km south of Cobar on the western edge of the Cobar Superbasin. The deposit is positioned at the western-most exposure of the Mt. Keenan Volcanics (Mt. Hope Group) where it is conformably overlain by a poorly- outcropping, distal turbidite sequence of carbonaceous slate and siltstone. Mineralisation is hosted in a sequence of rhyodacitic volcanic and associated volcaniclastic rocks comprising polymictic conglomerate, sandstone, slate, crystal- lithic tuff and crystal tuff. This sequence faces northwest strikes northeast- southwest and dips range from moderate westerly, to vertical, and locally overturned to the east. Mineralisation straddles the contact between the volcaniclastic facies and the siltstone-slate facies where there is a broad zone of intense tectonic brecciation and hydrothermal alteration (sericite-chlorite with local silicification). |

| 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 80% 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. |
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. |
The consistency, grade, and potential for extension to the intersections at May Day warrants further drilling to extend the mineralisation along strike (East –West) and at depth. Future work at Mallee Bull and Cobar Superbasin Project will include geophysical surveying and RC/diamond drilling to further define the extent of mineralisation at the prospects. Down hole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys will be used to identify potential conductive sources that may be related to mineralisation. |
