  • Maiden resource drilling ongoing with two diamond rigs
  • High-grade copper mineralisation at Wirlong Central has been defined from near surface to more than 600m below surface and remains open in all directions

Peel Mining Limited (ASX:PEX) (Peel or the Company) is pleased to report that ongoing drilling at its 100%-owned Wirlong copper deposit has returned further high-grade copper-mineralised intercepts.

Wirlong is part of Peel's South Cobar Project, centred around 100km south of Cobar in Western NSW with drilling at 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. Wirlong also represents a core part of the Company's focus on advancing its copper resources.

PEEL MINING MANAGING DIRECTOR ROB TYSON COMMENTED:

"These results continue to build our confidence in the primary target of our Wirlong drilling, the high-grade Western Lens, whilst evidence of additional mineralised lenses is also becoming apparent."

"We also see further indication of broad halo stockwork chalcopyrite mineralisation within many of our drillholes, an indication of the greater metal endowment of the Wirlong mineral system."

"Our understanding of the geometry and controls on mineralisation at Wirlong continues to grow as we complete each drillhole, and once again, we look forward to reporting further results in due course."

WIRLONG

As previously reported, drillholes WLDD015, 016 and 017 were recognised as hosting significant copper mineralisation. WLDD015 and 017 were drilled ~40m grid west from WLDD009, 011 and 013 which all returned high grade copper. WLDD016 was drilled a further ~80m grid west from WLDD015 and 017.

Mineralisation returned from the resource definition drilling so far is generally consistent with the position of electromagnetic conductor plates, and Peel's geophysical and geological modelling.

Drilling at Wirlong has been designed to test the upper ~300m of the Wirlong Central Zone where highgrade copper (chalcopyrite) mineralisation is understood to be structurally controlled on a NW-SE orientation. The resource definition drill program originally comprised ~15,000m of drilling. A review of Wirlong results to date has recently been completed with designed programme being modified to optimise the resource modeling. Drill results to date have highlighted the open nature of this evolving copper mineral system.

The true width of intercepts reported is estimated to be approximately 40-60% of the downhole widths. The geology of the Wirlong deposit comprises intercalated and sheared/deformed felsic volcanics and siltstones/sediments with associated alteration including silica, sericite and black chlorite.

WIRLONG BACKGROUND

Wirlong is located within Peel's 100%-owned EL8307, located ~80km SSE of Cobar or ~35km N of Peel's 100%-owned Mallee Bull copper deposit. It is defined by 2km strike of sheared volcanics and sediments; large multi-element soil geochemical anomalies; and coincident/semi-coincident geophysical anomalies. It has since proven to represent a very large hydrothermal system hosting significant copper mineralisation along more than 2.5km strike length and to depths of up to 950m. To date some of the better copper intercepts returned from the Wirlong prospect include:

  • 9m @ 3.29% Cu, 18 g/t Ag from 70m in WLRC035
  • 27m @ 5.3% Cu, 23 g/t Ag from 286m in WLRC026
  • 31m @ 3.19% Cu, 11 g/t Ag from 299m in WLRC052
  • 9m @ 8% Cu, 17g/t Ag, 0.21 g/t Au from 616m in WLDD001
  • 17m @ 4.59% Cu, 8 g/t Ag from 738m in WLRCDD043

A program consisting of three diamond drillholes at Wirlong Central was undertaken at the end of 2019/early 2020 to test a new structural model (NW-SE) for the controls on high-grade copper mineralisation (see ASX announcement dated 3rd April 2020 "Wirlong Drill Results and Covid-19 update").

Assay results returned significant intercepts in all three drillholes with results including:

  • 4.26m @ 2.22% Cu, 7 g/t Ag from 380m and 0.74m @ 14.3% Cu, 66 g/t Ag from 396.2m in WLDD003
  • 1.15m @ 7.71% Cu, 30 g/t Ag from 54.45m and 30m @ 1.64% Cu, 8 g/t Ag from 305m (incl. 14m @ 2.63% Cu, 12 g/t Ag) from 320m in WLDD004
  • 5.9m @ 3.19% Cu, 13 g/t Ag from 347.1m in WLDD005

Down-hole EM was completed on drillholes WLDD003 and WLDD004 with modelling defining a late-time conductor, with approximate dimensions of 120m x 150m and its geometry consistent with the new structural model. High-grade copper mineralisation at Wirlong Central has been defined from near surface to more than 600m below surface and remains open in all directions.

This announcement has been approved for release by the Board of Directors.

In relation to the disclosure of visual mineralisation, the Company cautions that visual estimates of sulphide and oxide material abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis. Laboratory assay results are required to determine the widths and grade of the visible mineralisation reported in preliminary geological logging. The Company will update the market when laboratory analytical results become available.

JORC CODE (2012 Edition) – Table 1 Checklist of Assessment and Reporting Criteria Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data for South Cobar Project

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Samplingtechniques •Nature and quality of sampling (egcut channels, random chips, orspecific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate tothe minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, orhandheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken aslimiting the broad meaning of sampling.•Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity andthe appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.•Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to thePublic Report.•In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would berelatively simple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 msamples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fireassay'). In other cases more explanationmay be required, such as wherethere is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusualcommodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) maywarrant disclosure of detailed information. •Diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling were used to obtain samples forlogging and assaying.geological•Diamond core was cut and sampled at 1m intervalson average or intervalsdetermined by geological contacts. RC drill holes were sampled at 1m intervalsand split using a cone splitter attached to the cyclone to generate a split of 2-4kg to ensure sample representivity.•Multi-element readings were takenof the diamond core and RC drill chips usingan Olympus Delta Innov-X portable XRF machine or an Olympus Vanta portableXRF machine. Portable XRF machines are routinely serviced, calibrated andchecked against blanks/standards.
Drillingtechniques •Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary airblast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple orstandard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,whether core is oriented and if so, bywhat method, etc). •Drilling to date has been a combination of diamondandreverse circulation.Reverse circulation drilling utilised a 5 1/2 inch diameter hammer. PQ, HQ andNQ coring was used for diamond drilling.
Drill samplerecovery •Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries andresults assessed.•Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representativenature of the samples.•Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade andwhether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain offine/coarse material. •Core recoveries are recorded by the drillers in the field at the time of drillingand checked by a geologist or technician.•RC samples are not weighed on a regular basis but no significant samplerecovery issues have been encountered in drilling programsto date.•Diamond core is reconstructed into continuous runs on an angle iron cradle fororientation marking and depths are checked against the depths recorded oncore blocks. Rod counts are routinely undertaken by drillers.•When poor sample recovery is encountered during drilling, the geologist anddriller have endeavoured to rectify the problem to ensure maximum samplerecovery.•Sample recoveries at Wirlong, May Day,Mallee Bulland Southern Nightstodate have generally been high.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
•Sample recoveries at Wagga Tank have been variable with broken groundoccurring in places and poorer sample recoveries encountered. Insufficientdata is available at present to determine if a relationship exists betweenrecovery and grade. Sample recoveries at Southern Nights have been generallyhigh to date.

Core (or costean,channel, etc) photography.•The total lengthand percentage of the relevant intersections logged. •All core and drill chip samples are geologically logged. Core samples areorientated and logged for geotechnical information. Drill chip samples arelogged at 1m intervals from surface to the bottom of each individual hole toa level that will support appropriate future Mineral Resource studies.•Logging of diamond core and RC samples records lithology, mineralogy,mineralisation, structure (DDH only), weathering, colour and other featuresof the samples. Core is photographed as both wet and dry.Chips arephotographed as wet samples.•All diamond and RC drill holes in the current program were geologicallylogged in full.
Sub-samplingtechniques andsamplepreparation •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 whethersampled wet or dry.•For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of thesample preparation technique.•Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages tomaximise representivity of samples.•Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the insitu material collected, including for instance results for fieldduplicate/second-half sampling.•Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the materialbeing 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 andmaintain consistent representivity. The majority of samples were dry.•Bulk samples were placed in green plastic bags, with the sub-samples collectedplaced in calico sample bags.•Field duplicates were collected by re-splitting the bulk samples from largeplastic bags. These duplicates were designed for lab checks.•Laboratory duplicate samples aresplit using method SPL-21d which producesa split sample using a riffle splitter. These samples are selected by the geologistwithin moderate and high-grade zones.•A sample size of 2-4kg was collected and considered appropriate andrepresentative for the grain size and style of mineralisation.
Quality of assaydata andlaboratory tests •The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratoryprocedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.•For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, theparameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make •ALS Laboratory Services were used for Au and multi-element analysis workcarried on out on 1m split RC samples.

Relationship betweenmineralisation widthsand intercept lengths •These relationships are particularly important in the reporting ofExploration Results.•If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angleis known, its nature should be reported.•If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, thereshould be a clear statement to this effect (eg 'down hole length, true widthnot known'). •True widths are estimated to be 40-60% of the downhole width unlessotherwise indicated.
Diagrams •Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of interceptsshould be included for any significant discovery being reported Theseshould include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collarlocations and appropriate sectional views. •Refer to Figures in the body of text.
Balanced reporting •Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is notpracticable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/orwidths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of ExplorationResults. •In relation to the disclosure of visual mineralisation, the Companycautions that visual estimates of sulphide and oxide material abundanceshould never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis.Laboratory assay results are required to determine the widths and gradeof the visible mineralisation reported in preliminary geological logging.The Company will update the market when laboratory analytical resultsbecome available.
Other substantiveexploration data •Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reportedincluding (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical surveyresults; geochemical survey results; bulk samples –size and method oftreatment; metallurgical test results;bulk density, groundwater, •No other substantive exploration data are available.
