Information regarding drilling/assaying data:
1. Drilling was completed using a RC face sampling hammer or HQ/NQ diamond core.
2. Sample recoveries were considered adequate for all samples.
3. Drillcore has been, or is still to be, logged in detail based on lithology, mineralisation, and alteration.
4. Samples for analysis were collected by cone splitter sampling, hand spearing or by sawing core in half.
5. Samples were submitted as 4m composite chip samples, 1m chip samples or 1m half-core intervals unless a geological contact was used.
6. Samples were analysed at ALS Chemex utilising methods: Au‐AA25 for Au (fire assay); ME‐ICP61 for multi-element including Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn; Ag-OG62 for >100 g/t Ag; Cu-OG62 for >1% Cu; Pb-OG62 for >1% Pb; and Zn-OG62 for >1% Zn.
7. Drillhole collars were surveyed by DGPS.
8. Downhole gyroscopic surveys are being run continuously.
Copper Equivalent Calculation Explanation:
-
Mineralisation at Mallee Bull consists of copper, silver, gold, lead, zinc and cobalt, but only copper, silver and gold are used for Copper Equivalent Calculation.
-
Copper equivalent values have been calculated as (CuEq) = Cu% + Ag(ppm)x0.012 + Au(ppm)x0.625
-
Copper Equivalent or “CuEq” is the contained copper, silver and gold that are converted to an equal amount of pure copper and summed (based on assays of mineralised rock and nominated metal prices). It is used to allow interpretation of the possible theoretical ‘value’ of mineralised rock, without consideration of the ultimate extractability of any of the metals.
-
Cobar-style copper deposits such as Mallee Bull typically recover those metals subject to prevailing metal prices and metallurgical characteristics.
-
The ASX requires a metallurgical recovery be specified for each metal, however, no testwork has ever been undertaken at Mallee Bull and recoveries can only be assumed to be typical for Cobar-style copper deposits
-
It is the Company’s opinion that each of the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation has reasonable potential to be recovered if the project proceeds to mining.
-
Price Assumptions‐ Cu (US$8,000/t), Ag (US$30/oz), Au (US$1,500/oz)
