Peel Mining Limited (ASX:PEX) (Peel or the Company) is pleased to report further strong resource definition drill results from the May Day deposit. May Day is part of Peel’s South Cobar Project, centred around 100km south of Cobar in Western NSW. Drilling at May Day is part of the Company’s “Hub & Spoke” strategy to advance each of the Company’s deposits to mineable resources, to achieve critical mass in support of a new substantial centrally located processing plant.

The latest assay results show further strong, continuous, and wide gold-polymetallic intercepts, confirming substantial true width (~25m) at relatively shallow depths. A high-grade core proximal to the hangingwall is evident with an approximate true thickness of up to ~12m. Resource drilling at May Day is now completed in advance of an anticipated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) update in early 2021. Assays are pending for the balance of completed drilling.

At Southern Nights drill testing for a southerly extension outside of the current resource model has returned significant new massive sulphide Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu-Au mineralisation. This mineralisation is open to the southwest and follow-up drilling is planned to continue to grow this major mineral system.

Peel Mining Managing Director Rob Tyson commented:

“May Day continues to return strong gold-polymetallic mineralisation over good widths including the highest-grade zinc-lead-silver mineralisation seen to date in drillhole MDRC017. Drilling at May Day is now finished, and we look forward to receiving the balance of assays and finalising the updated resource model in early 2021.”

“The high-grade massive sulphide intercepts outside of the Southern Nights resource envelope highlights once again the ongoing growth potential of Peel’s Cobar resource base as we advance towards our critical mass goal. We look forward to following up these intercepts in due course.”

May Day

May Day is contained within ML1361, part of the Mallee Bull project, which is the subject of a purchase and sale agreement between Peel and CBH Resources Limited. Settlement of the transaction is subject to Ministerial consent for the transfer of title. May Day is viewed as having potential to provide openpittable gold-rich starter ore to Peel’s Hub and Spoke development strategy.

Peel recently reported an in-pit maiden Inferred MRE for May Day of 1.13 Mt at 1.3 g/t Au, 19 g/t Ag, 0.74% Zn, 0.50% Pb, 0.09% Cu containing 47,200oz gold, 680,000oz silver, 8,320t zinc, 5,640t lead, 1,020t copper (65,100 oz gold equivalent). The MRE has been reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012 Edition) using a 0.65g/t AuEq cut off grade (See Table 1).

Resource definition drilling has been designed on an approximate 25x20m basis to enable an updated estimation of a primarily Indicated classified mineral resource, within an optimised pit shell. Deeper, higher grade mineralisation may allow for the definition of potential underground resources. The MRE update is anticipated around year end.

May Day mineralisation is shear-hosted/related with primary sulphides comprising pyrite-sphaleritegalena-chalcopyrite. At the time of reporting, resource definition drilling was nearing completion.

Newly received assays show further strong, continuous, and wide gold-polymetallic intercepts, confirming substantial true width (~25m) at relatively shallow depths. A high-grade core proximal to the hangingwall is evident with an approximate true thickness of up to ~12m. These results compliment previously received assays which also confirmed good down-dip continuity (minimum 180m down dip continuity from the base of the pit) of the May Day mineral system. Better new RC drilling results include:

  • 27m @ 1.03g/t Au, 25g/t Ag, 1.15% Zn, 0.77% Pb, 0.13% Cu from 106m in MDRC012

  • 46m @ 0.98g/t Au, 53g/t Ag, 3.43% Zn, 1.97% Pb, 0.38% Cu from 84m in MDRC017

  • 8m @ 1.49g/t Au, 23g/t Ag, 0.98% Zn, 0.65% Pb, 0.08% Cu from 135m in MDRC019

Table 1 - Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data for 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
on
average
or
intervals
determined by geological contacts. 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.
PQ, 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 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, May Day
and Mallee Bull to date have generally
been high.
 Sample recoveries at Wagga Tank have
been
variable

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 May Day where logging is still
underway.
Sub-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.
 Laboratory duplicate samples are split
using method SPL-21d which produces a
split sample using a riffle splitter. These
samples are selected by the geologist
within moderate and high-grade zones.
 A sample size of 2-4kg was collected and
considered

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
postdate 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.

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

Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths
and
intercept

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.

Results is not practicable, representative reporting
of both low and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of

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.
 Further drilling and geophysical surveys
are planned at Southern Nights/Wagga
Tank.
