Mallee Bull Current Status

CBH Farm-in complete: resource drilling completed (for now)

  • Stage 3 of farm-in commenced Jul 2013; completed Mar 2014; 50:50 JV now underway
  • Stage 3 comprised:
    • Search for additional mineralisation; Cobar-style deposits cluster/stack
    • Multiple geophysical surveys including DHEM, MMR, MT/AMT, gravity
    • RAB and diamond drilling targeting Butchers Dog, Mallee Bull, 4-Mile Goldfields
  • Lots of smoke results to date show widespread, broad scale alteration and anomalous geochemistry up to 1km from Mallee Bull; indicative of large hydrothermal system
  • Resource definition drilling at Mallee Bull completed for now; maiden resource estimation underway
  • MBDD017 (metallurgical/exploration/deep DHEM) drillhole completed with known mineralisation extended to >800m below surface
  • Excellent early met-testwork results showing that bulk of Mallee Bull mineralisation (footwall/stringer lode) produced ~25% Cu-in-concentrate at >90% recovery; further testwork underway
  • Peel completes purchase of Wirchilleba Station (Mallee Bull footprint)

Mallee Bull Looking Ahead

Mallee Bull Maiden Resource May 2014; Scoping to follow

  • Maiden Resource Estimate May 2014 based on ~50 mineralised intercepts
  • Scoping studies and further exploration over balance of calendar 2014 (subject to JV approval)
  • Cobar-style deposits typically cluster/stack; continue search for the next Mallee Bull
  • BDDD001 (drilled August 2013) targeted coincident strong DHEM conductor and magnetic anomalies; intersected broad alteration zone
  • BDDD002 (drilled March 2014) targeted strong offhole anomaly and intersected a broad zone of pyrrhotite mineralisation coincident with the modeled conductor; highly anomalous base and precious metal geochemistry returned
  • Disseminated pyrrhotite alteration halos can be associated with Cobar-style deposits
  • Identified conductors at Butcher's Dog are in contrast to the position of the main magnetic anomaly 500m further north. Further work to involve additional modelling of magnetic data

Investment Highlights

Notes

  • 1. Information regarding drilling/assaying data
  • 2. Drilling was completed as HQ or NQ diamond core.
  • 3. Sample recoveries were considered adequate for all samples.
  • 4. Drillcore has been logged in detail based on lithology, mineralisation, and alteration.
  • 5. Samples for analysis were collected by sawing core in half.
  • 6. Samples were submitted as 1m or 4m composite half-core intervals.
  • 7. Samples were analysed at ALS Chemex utilising methods: Au‐AA25 for Au (fire assay); ME‐ICP41, ME-ICP61 or ME MS61 for multi-element including Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn; Ag-OG46 for >100 g/t Ag; Cu-OG46 for >1% Cu; Pb-OG46 for >1% Pb; and Zn-OG46 for >1% Zn.
  • 8. Drillhole collars were surveyed by DGPS (GDA94) and downhole gyroscopic surveys were run continuously.
  • * Copper Equivalent Calculation Explanation:
  • The copper equivalent (CuEq) calculation represents the total metal value for each metal, multiplied by the conversion factor, summed and expressed in equivalent copper percentage. These results are exploration results only and no allowance is made for recovery losses that may occur should mining eventually result, nor metallurgical flowsheet considerations. The copper equivalent calculation is intended as an indicative value only. No metallurgical testwork has been completed to date however it is the Company's opinion that all the elements included in the copper equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered.
  • Copper equivalent conversion factors and long‐term price assumptions used follow: Massive Sulphide Zone Copper Equivalent Formula (CuEq) = (Cu (ppm) x 0.0075 + Ag (ppm) x 0.96 + Au (ppm) x 50.00 + Co (ppm) x 0.025)/0.0075;
  • Stringer/Breccia Sulphide Zone Copper Equivalent Formula (CuEq) = (Cu (ppm) x 0.0075 + Ag (ppm) x 0.96 + Au (ppm) x 50.00)/0.0075;
  • Price Assumptions ‐ Cu (US$7,500/t), Ag (US$30/oz), Au (US$1,500/oz), Co (US$25,000/t).
  • Pb and Zn have not been used in copper equivalent calculation.
