Peel Mining Managing Director Rob Tyson commented:

“The wide and high-grade copper hits reported herein, as well as those previously reported, point to the potential for a major Cobar-style copper system to take shape at Wirlong. These results, as well as visuals and XRF analyses for drillholes still to be reported, add to an excellent start to the Company’s efforts to establish a maiden high-grade copper resource at Wirlong. Importantly, the results lend support to our aspiration to become Cobar’s next copper-dominant base and precious metals mining Company. Once again we look forward to receiving the assays for the additional copper intercepts yielded from drilling since our last report and releasing them in due course.”

Peel Mining Limited (ASX:PEX) (Peel or the Company) is pleased to confirm that drilling at the 100%owned Wirlong deposit has returned new broad and high-grade copper-mineralised intercepts. Wirlong is part of Peel’s South Cobar Project, centred around 100km south of Cobar in Western NSW.

As reported in early February 2021, multiple RC drillholes completed since re-start in mid-January have intersected significant zones of chalcopyrite-dominant mineralisation as determined by visual inspection and portable XRF analyses. Recently returned assays results confirm significant copper mineralisation in multiple drillholes, including broad mineralised zones (with higher-grade internal zones) and narrower mineralised zones including high-grade mineralisation.

The current results are in addition to previously reported drillholes WLRC068, WLRC069 and WLRC071 which each intersected substantial chalcopyrite-dominant sulphide mineralisation over significant downhole widths. Results included:

WLRC068

  • 51m @ 1.35% Cu, 6g/t Ag, 0.11g/t Au from 177m including:

  • 9m @ 4.33% Cu, 14g/t Ag, 0.34g/t Au from 181m

  • WLRC069

  • 15m @ 3.80% Cu, 17g/t Ag, 0.04g/t Au from 255m including:

  • 6m @ 8.64% Cu, 37g/t Ag, 0.11g/t Au from 255m

  • WLRC071

  • 28m @ 1.83% Cu, 8g/t Ag from 263m including:10m @ 4.02% Cu, 16g/t Ag from 275m

Significantly, mineralisation returned from the resource definition drilling is generally consistent with the position of electromagnetic conductor plates, and with a revised structural model, supporting Peel’s geophysical and geological modelling.

Drilling at Wirlong 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. Drilling at Wirlong has been designed to test the upper ~300m of the Wirlong Central Zone where high-grade copper (chalcopyrite) mineralisation is understood to be structurally controlled on a NW-SE orientation. The resource definition drill program comprises of up to ~15,000m of drilling and is anticipated to be completed in the June quarter of 2021.

Drilling was initially planned to be completed utilising primarily RC drilling; however significant drillhole deviation since commencement has seen the Company recently shift to using diamond drilling to increase drill targeting effectiveness. Diamond drilling will also provide further structural knowledge, geotechnical information and metallurgical testwork material.

As reported, visual inspection of several drillholes completed since the last announcement has confirmed significant zones of chalcopyrite-dominant sulphide mineralisation including semi-massive chalcopyrite-dominant sulphides with associated significant grades of copper confirmed by portable XRF analyses (see Table 3 for further details). Sampling and assaying of the relevant mineralised intervals is ongoing and results will be reported when available.

The true width of intercepts reported is estimated to be approximately 40-60% of the downhole widths. Drillhole WLRC073 was drilled ~20[o] east and oblique to the section plane and is estimated to have a true width of approximately 30-45% of the downhole width. The geology of the Wirlong deposit comprises intercalated and sheared/deformed felsic volcanics and siltstones/sediments with associated alteration including silica, sericite and dark/black chlorite.

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

Wirlong Summary

Wirlong is located within Peel’s 100%-owned EL8307, located ~80km SSE of Cobar or ~35km N of Mallee Bull. 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 3[rd] 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 latetime 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.

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.

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

• Reverse circulation (RC) drilling were used
to obtain samples for geological logging
and assaying.
• 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.

Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
• A Garmin hand-held GPS is used to define
the location of the drill holes. 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.

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

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.
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 estimated to be 40-60% 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.
• 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.
Other

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.
