ENDEAVOR MINE ACQUISITION

Significant advancement of Polymetals business development strategy.

Polymetals Resources Ltd. (ASX:POL) ("Polymetals" or the "Company") is very pleased to announce the execution of a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA) in relation to the proposed acquisition by the Company of all of the issued share capital of Orana Minerals Pty Ltd (Orana Minerals) (Proposed Transaction). Orana Minerals is the sole shareholder of Cobar Metals Pty Ltd (Cobar Metals), a special purpose acquisition vehicle that has separately entered into legally binding and unconditional arrangements to acquire a 100% interest in the Endeavor Lead, Zinc & Silver Mine located 40km NW of Cobar, NSW (Endeavor Project).

The acquisition of Orana Minerals (and therefore, subsequently, the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Endeavor Project) will provide Polymetals with:

  • 1,100km2 of highly prospective Exploration Licences within the Cobar Basin;
  • 16.3 million tonne Pb, Zn and Ag JORC Code (2012) compliant resources within the Endeavor Project Mining Leases;
  • access to a regionally significant, fully permitted mine, 1.2Mtpa mineral processing plant and supporting infrastructure; and
  • an opportunity to capitalise on decades of Cobar Basin exploration, mine development and production experience by its various team members.
  • enhanced Ore Reserve potential by restructuring of the existing Silver Streaming royalty.
  • jurisdictional and commodity diversification (and associated risk-reduction benefits) for the Company and its shareholders.

Completion of the Proposed Transaction remains subject to the satisfaction of several conditions, including Polymetals shareholder approval under the Listing Rules of ASX1. Meeting documents will be sent to Polymetals shareholders shortly providing comprehensive details of the Endeavor Project and the Proposed Transaction as well as various relevant Independent Reports.

1 For the avoidance of doubt, the arrangements between Cobar Metals and the vendor of the various subsidiaries which currently own the Endeavor Project are binding and not conditional on Polymetals shareholder approval.

Endeavor Project Overview

The Endeavor Project is situated in the Cobar structural zone and is located approximately 30km north of the CSA Copper Mine and 40km north-west of Cobar in central-NSW. The Endeavor Project is one of three significant mines in the district.

Endeavor was first discovered in 1974 with mining and processing operations commencing in 1982. A total of 32.2 million tonnes of ore grading 8.01% Zinc, 5.04% Lead and 89.2g/t Silver had been mined and processed to December 20192 when the project was placed on Care and Maintenance (C&M) by the current owner, CBH Resources Ltd. (CBH), a subsidiary of Toho Zinc Co. Ltd.

Transaction Overview

Following the completion of extensive due diligence by the Company, and the restructuring of the Metalla Royalty and Streaming Ltd (Metalla) Silver royalty (discussed below), the Company entered into the SPA with the shareholders of Orana Minerals on 28th March 2023. As noted above, Orana Minerals is the sole shareholder of Cobar Metals.

Under the SPA, Polymetals will acquire Orana Minerals by issuing 52,000,000 new fully paid ordinary Polymetals shares to the shareholders of Orana Minerals3. Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to Polymetals shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rules 7.1, 10.1 and 10.114.

Transaction Capital Structure

Securities Number
Ordinary shares on issue (24th March 2023) 84,566,126

New Ordinary Shares Issued to Orana 52,000,000
Ordinary shares on issue – post acquisition 136,566,126
Market Capitalisation (@ A$0.20) post-Acquisition A$27 million

In December 2022, Cobar Metals entered into a separate agreement with CBH pursuant to which Cobar Metals will acquire, and CBH will sell, all of the issued share capital in three wholly owned CBH subsidiaries which together own the Endeavor Project (Endeavor Share Sale Agreement).

On completion of the Endeavor Share Sale Agreement between Cobar Metals and CBH, Cobar Metals (which is expected to be, at that time, a wholly owned subsidiary of Polymetals) will acquire the three Endeavor Project companies.

In connection with the above referred acquisition arrangements, the Company will replace Environmental Rehabilitation Bonds of $27.96 million before 30th April 2024.

3 On completion of the SPA, Orana Minerals will become (and therefore, Cobar Metals will also become) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

4 For the avoidance of doubt, the arrangements between Cobar Metals and CBH (as vendor of the various subsidiaries which currently own the Endeavor Project) are not conditional on Polymetals shareholder approval.

Transaction Rationale

As outlined in Polymetals' Prospectus of June 2021 (which details its intention to acquire advanced exploration and development projects in Australia), the acquisition of the Endeavor Project advances the Company's business model and strategic objectives by:

  • building the exploration portfolio with the addition of a 1,100km2 holding within the Cobar Basin, prospective for base & precious metals;
  • generating opportunities for exploration success from new discoveries and resource growth near existing mines;
  • establishing a cornerstone asset allowing Polymetals to potentially transition from mineral explorer to metal producer; and
  • consistently measuring the Company's assets and engineering opportunities to de-risk the business and build long term value for Polymetals shareholders.

Acquisition of the Endeavor Project enables Polymetals to capitalise on decades of Cobar Basin exploration, mine development and production experience by its various team members. This includes exploration in the Cobar area and previous hydrometallurgical treatment of Endeavor flotation tailings, by Polymetals Executive Chairman, David Sproule, from 1993 – 1995 to recover gold and silver.

Renegotiation of the Metalla Endeavor Project 100% Silver Streaming Royalty to a 4% Pb, Zn and Ag Net Smelter Royalty has removed a significant financial constraint and enhanced potential to unlock new life

for the project. Exploration success, followed by relevant scoping, prefeasibility and feasibility studies have the potential to deliver a long-term economic mining operation.

Work Streams

The Company is focussed on the following aspects of the Endeavor Project with a view to recommencing operations:

  • exploration to test immediate in-mine, near-mine and regional exploration targets within the Cobar Basin tenement package generated by a number of explorers over the past 50 years;
  • extend the mine life by re-estimating Mineral Resources and generating Ore Reserves; and
  • potential application of hydrometallurgical and other metal recovery techniques on existing resources.

Figure 4: Endeavor – Lead / Zinc Flotation floor (February 2023)

Cobar Metals completed a 2,868 metre RC drilling programme on the 5th of March 2023, which focused on defining near-surface mineralisation above the historic mining area referred to as the North Lode and within the existing Mining Leases. The program aimed to fully delineate the extent of upper-level supergene mineralisation and generate JORC Code (2012) compliant, Measured Mineral Resource estimates seeking, with further work, to generate Ore Reserves. First assays are expected during the coming weeks and will be announced following their receipt and interpretation.

Experienced technical personnel have been retained to assist with the planning and management of work streams. Several independent consultants and experts have also been engaged to complete geotechnical,

mining, validation, and valuation studies necessary to enhance the Company's understanding (and to assist the Company to prepare its forward works programme) of the Endeavor Project.

In respect to timing, the Company remains aware of the present labour and supply chain challenges being experienced by resource companies within Australia (and globally) and aims to complete work streams and relevant studies to potentially bring the Endeavor Project back on-line on a measured basis once sufficient Ore Reserves are established to support long-term production.

The below Workstream Detail table summarises current Elements of focus for the Endeavor Project. The planned programme of work also includes a currently assumed 8,500m RC, 6,500m auger and 4,000m Diamond drilling with the research and drilling estimated to cost $5.5 million over two years. 2,868m of RC drilling has recently been completed over the North Lode, with assays awaited. It is important to note that results and outcomes from each element will influence priorities and likely drive variance to funding needs and allocations as the Company moves the Endeavor Project forward.

Mineral Resources

An important aspect of the Polymetals due diligence was to review and verify resources within the existing Mining Leases. Independent consultants, Groundwork Plus Pty Ltd (Groundwork) were engaged to complete an independent JORC Code (2012) compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for the Endeavor Project. The study was completed during February 2023 and is attached to this announcement.

The Groundwork report entitled "Endeavor Mine (Elura Pb-Zn-Ag Deposit) Resource Estimate Report - February 2023" draws on a total of 2,459 holes totaling 389,697m of drilling. The estimate applies a Net Smelter Return (NSR) Cut-Off value of $190/t for mineralisation above 10,080mRL, and an NSR Cut-Off value of $150/t for mineralisation below 10,080mRL to arrive at a Mineral Resource Estimate summarised in Table 1.

Category Mt NSR ($/t) Zinc (%) Lead (%) Silver (g/t)
Measured 4.2 302 8.4 5.2 77
Indicated 8.9 279 8.0 4.6 80
Inferred 3.1 251 7.7 3.7 78
Total2 16.3 279 8.0 4.6 79

Table 1 – Endeavor Mine Mineral Resource February 20231

  1. Reported using NSR cut-off values of $190/t for mineralisation above 10,080mRL, and $150/t for mineralisation below 10,080mRL 2. Discrepancies may occur due to rounding

Massive sulphide mineralisation at the Endeavor Mine is hosted by a fine grained turbidite sequence of the Cobar Basin and comprises multiple sub-vertical elliptical shaped pipe-like pods that occur within the axial plane of an anticline. Around 150m below the base of the main mineralised pods/lodes, mineralisation is hosted within the western limb of a folded limestone unit, occurring in veins and fractures (Deep Zinc Lode).

Grade domains for constraining Resource estimation were interpreted and modelled based on the geological logging and assay results and underground mapping and resulted in five grade domains and five lode domains. Combinations of these domains were used for constraining estimation.

The resource model is based on statistical and geostatistical investigations generated using 1m (Deep Zinc Lode) and 2m (Upper Lodes) composited sample intervals. High-grade cutting (high grade cuts) for the input datasets to be used for resource estimation was applied only to Ag composites in some domains.

Rotated, sub-celled block models were constructed using parent block dimensions of 5m East by 5m North by 10mRL in the upper siltstone-hosted model and 5m East by 10m North by 5mRL in the limestonehosted model, with sub-blocking for the purpose of providing appropriate definition of the grade domain boundaries.

Resource estimation was carried out for lead, zinc and silver on the basis of analytical results available up to October 2019. Ordinary Kriging (OK) was selected as an appropriate estimation method based on the quantity and spacing of available data and style of deposit under review. A three-pass strategy was employed to generate the grade estimates with restrictions of the maximum number of samples per

drillhole. The search axes were aligned with the average orientation of the mineralised domains while search distances were derived from variographic analyses of the data sets.

The Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources include the siltstone-hosted mineralisation of the upper mine and the deeper limestone-hosted mineralisation (DZL), and is depleted for mining voids.

The Endeavor Mine is a polymetallic deposit, and consequently the value of one tonne of material is the function of more than one metal grade. It would be sub-optimal to report the Mineral Resource Estimate using cut-off grades of only one metal, as this ignores the input of the other metals in the total value of a parcel of material. Therefore, the Mineral Resource has been reported using a Net Smelter Return (NSR) value, which is determined from mining, processing, and overhead costs per tonne of material milled. The key inputs for the NSR calculation of each tonne of material are shown in Table 2. Two sets of flotation recovery values have been used to account for a change in mineralogy above 10,080mRL.

Metal Metal Price Exchange Flotation Recovery SmeltingRecovery Smelting andFreight costs Tonnes ore / Tonnesconcentrate
Rate Below10080mRL Above10080mRL per tonne Below10080mRL Above10080mRL
Pb US$2,050/t 74% 62% 95%
Zn US$3,000/t AU$1=US$0.69 83% 75% 85% $523 5.15 5.36
Ag US$22.50/oz 51% 66% 95%
Table 2 – Key NSR Calculation Assumptions
-- ------------------------------------------- --

The Endeavor Mine Mineral Resource Estimate has been reported at an NSR cut-off value of $150/t for material below 10,080mRL and $190/t for material above 10,080mRL. The NSR cut-off value for material below 10,080mRL is based on a 25% increase in mining, processing and general overhead costs since the cessation of mining in 2019. The NSR cut-off value for material above 10,080mRL is based on higher processing costs to achieve acceptable recoveries and higher underground mining costs to account for increased ground support required for softer material.

Ore Reserves

Polymetals is yet to generate any Ore Reserves (as defined in the JORC Code (2012) guidelines), however the process to attempt do so has commenced via the abovementioned recently completed Cobar Metals RC drilling programme. The Company remains confident that significant potential exists for establishment of Ore Reserves within the Endeavor Project Mining Leases as well as from exploration planned to test the numerous drill targets identified both near mine and regionally.

ASX Announcement

ASX: POL

Polymetals' focus is to build an Ore Reserve inventory of sufficient size and grade to support the recommencement of economic concentrate and possible precious metals production at Endeavor.

Figure 6: Endeavor surface workshop and headframe – November 2022

Further technical information in relation to the Endeavor Project will be released to the market as separate announcements, and to the extent necessary, will also be included in the Meeting Documents seeking shareholder approval for various aspects of the Proposed Transaction.

Further near-term information to be announced will include but will not be limited to:

  • North Lode RC drilling results;
  • Independent Expert's Report;
  • Independent Valuation of Cobar Property Assets Report;
  • Independent Valuation of Endeavor Plant and Equipment Report; and
  • Endeavor Regional Prospectivity Report.

Guinea Gold Exploration Update

Planning of the Phase 4 Alahiné and Mansala exploration drilling programme is complete. However, the Board has resolved to place further drilling on hold until the Guinea Government approves outstanding Exploration Licence Renewal Applications. In the interim, the project geological team continues with lowcost activities including extensive surface mapping and XRF analysis to establish further drill targets. Although unlikely, the Company remains hopeful that its Exploration Licences will be renewed in good time such that budgeted and planned drilling can be completed prior to onset of the wet season in July.

Funding

Polymetals is well advanced in evaluating its financial needs and will structure suitable finance solutions for the Company and its Guinea and Endeavor Projects as exploration and supporting studies progress.

The Company is actively working with targeted capital providers in relation to the Bond Replacement and the potential provision of working capital and project finance. The substantial portfolio of Endeavor Project assets and their associated value provides significant support to these discussions.

Independent valuations were recently completed by Como Engineers and Aspect Property of the Endeavor mine and Cobar residential assets respectively. Como Engineers determined a Going Concern valuation for the Endeavor Mine of $140.0 million and Aspect Property valued the Cobar residential assets at $11.4 million.

Funding options currently in place or being considered are as follows:

  • Cash at 31st December 2022 of $953,974
  • Secured working capital facilities.
  • Approved Phase 1 NSW Critical Minerals Activation Grant of $500,000.
  • An unsecured loan facility of $1.0 million from Meadowhead Investments Pty Ltd (refer to ASX Release dated 31 October 2022) which remains undrawn.
  • Further equity issues-noting the Company raised $1.0M @ $0.25/share on 21 December 2022 by share placement. Some of the future equity issues would be expected to have a Rights Issue or Share Purchase Plan to allow existing investors to participate should they so wish.
  • NSW Critical Minerals Activation Grant Phase 2 (open for applications in mid-2023) for grants of up to $10.0 million.
  • The Company has also made initial enquiries with various offtake parties who would be prepared to provide working capital as prepayment against offtake. It is too early for such arrangements however this type of funding is common within the base metals sector.

Due to tenement title uncertainty and the impact of the wet season from July, management has currently assumed that there will be no drilling completed by the Company at its Guinea project during 2023. Approximately $1.5 million of budgeted Guinea expenditure has been allocated to Endeavor Project Workstreams. The Company expects that the addition of the Endeavor Project will require approximately $6.0 million in total expenditure over the balance of the 2023 calendar year. Funds will

be applied to planned studies and care and maintenance at Endeavor, provide general working capital to maintain its Guinea projects in good standing and meet the cost of Company administration. Should the Guinea Exploration Licence renewals be granted in the near future, the Company will make provision to complete its planned Stage 4 Guinea RC drilling programme.

Commenting on the Proposed Transaction, Polymetals Executive Chairman, Dave Sproule said:

"The acquisition of the Endeavor Project is a major milestone in the growth of Polymetals, aligning the Company to its ambitions to build on near mine and regional exploration success at Endeavor to potentially become a base and precious metals producer in Australia.

The Endeavor Mine has been a world-class base metals operation since production commenced in 1982 and we are confident that Polymetals can apply good science and its deep operational experience to capitalise on the numerous opportunities that have been identified across the regional landholding and mining assets being acquired. The Endeavor Project assets provide a unique opportunity where the available and substantial processing and supporting infrastructure can enable mineral deposits to be developed which might otherwise be uneconomic without a nearby processing facility.

The Polymetals leadership team has significant knowledge of the Cobar Basin, including Endeavor, which we will immediately take advantage of to advance our strategy. The Endeavor Project acquisition provides enormous potential for our shareholders, the Cobar Region and NSW".

Summary

Acquisition of the Endeavor Project enables Polymetals to capitalise on decades of Cobar Basin exploration, mine development and production experience by its various team members. This includes hydrometallurgical treatment of high-grade Endeavor supergene flotation tailings (1993 – 1995) which recovered significant amounts of gold and silver.

The renegotiation of the Metalla silver royalty over the Endeavor Project provides the economic foundation to allow the Company to potentially build significant and long-term value via exploration, resource optimisation and process alternatives.

Meeting documents seeking the required shareholder approvals in relation to the Proposed Transaction will be sent to Polymetals shareholders in the near future. We look forward to providing further project details and market announcements.

Executive Summary

The Endeavor Mine (Elura Pb-Zn-Ag deposit) is located 40km north-west of Cobar, NSW, Australia.

Mineralisation at the Elura deposit is hosted by fine grained turbidite sequence of the Cobar Basin and comprises multiple sub-vertical elliptical shaped pipe-like pods that occur within the axial plane of an anticline and are surrounded by an envelope of sulphide stringer mineralisation, in turn surrounded by an envelope of siderite alteration extending for tens of metres away from the sulphide mineralisation. Around 150m below the base of the main mineralised pods/lodes, mineralisation is hosted within the western limb of a folded limestone unit, occurring in veins and fractures. Recent reviews favour a syngenetic formation model of an original stratiform deposit that was later emplaced by tectonic force into a favourable structural site during deformation.

The deposit was discovered in 1973 and was mined from 1982 to 2019. The mine is currently under care and maintenance.

The Elura deposit has been extensively drilled with 2,538 diamond drill holes in the database, totalling 402,359m of drilling. Of those, a total of 2,459 holes totalling 389,697m of drilling were used in the Mineral Resource estimation.

Groundwork Plus considers the quality of drilling, sampling, logging, QAQC and data management is of a good standard and is satisfied that the exploration data is appropriate for use in resource estimation.

Grade domains for constraining Resource estimation were interpreted and modelled based on the geological logging and assay results and underground mapping and resulted in five grade domains and five lode domains. Combinations of these domains were used for constraining estimation.

The resource model is based on statistical and geostatistical investigations generated using 1m (Deep Zinc Lode) and 2m (Upper Lodes) composited sample intervals. High grade cutting (high grade cuts) for the input datasets to be used for resource estimation was applied only to Ag composites in some domains.

Rotated, sub-celled block models were constructed using parent block dimensions of 5m East by 5m North by 10mRL in the upper siltstone-hosted model and 5m East by 10m North by 5mRL in the limestone-hosted model, with sub-blocking for the purpose of providing appropriate definition of the grade domain boundaries.

Resource estimation was carried out for lead, zinc and silver on the basis of analytical results available up to October 2019. Ordinary Kriging (OK) was selected as an appropriate estimation method based on the quantity and spacing of available data and style of deposit under review. A three-pass strategy was employed to generate the grade estimates. Restrictions of the maximum number of samples per drillhole were applied to the first and second search passes. The search axes were aligned with the average orientation of the mineralised domains while search distances were derived from variographic analyses of the data sets.

The Mineral Resource estimate has been classified in accordance with the guidelines set out in the JORC Code (2012). Resource categories have been assigned based in confidence in geological knowledge, sampling and assay data, data density, variogram model ranges and prospects for eventual economic extraction. Table 1 represents the Mineral Resource Statement for the Endeavor Mine (Elura Zn-Pb-Ag deposit) Mineral Resource Estimate, based on information available as at 1st February 2023, and reported at an NSR cut-off value of $190/t for mineralisation above 10,080mRL, and $150/t for mineralisation below 10,080mRL, subdivided by Mineral Resource category.

2 Project Background

2.1 History and Previous Resource Estimates

The Elura Pb-Zn-Ag deposit was first discovered in 1973 by the Electrolytic Zinc (EZ) Company of Australia using aeromagnetic surveys followed up by auger and diamond drilling. This drilling enabled the reporting of an initial resource of 27 Mt @ 5.6% Pb, 8.6% Zn and 135 g/t Ag.

Further exploration was carried out in 1976 via the excavation of a 165m deep shaft and cross-cut to access the deposit and extract material for metallurgical test work.

Following a positive feasibility study in 1977 construction began on the Elura Mine project in 1980, with the first ore milled in November 1982. A total of 0.7 Mt of ore was milled during the first year of production.

The mine was acquired by North Broken Hill Holdings Ltd in 1985, after the latter took over EZ Industries Ltd in 1984. Subsequently it became part of Pasminco Ltd Holdings in 1988. Production increased to around 1.2 Mt per year until the early 90's when the rate was reduced back to around 0.7 Mt per year due to a fall in metal prices, then increasing back to around 1 Mt per year in 1995.

Pasminco was placed into voluntary administration in 2001 and the mine was acquired by CBH Resources in 2003, changing the name of the project to Endeavor Mine. From 2009 the mine operated again on a reduced production rate of around 0.6 Mt per year due to lower metal prices before being placed on care and maintenance in 2019.

The last publicly reported Mineral Resource for the Endeavor Mine was tabled in the 2009 annual report for CBH Resources and is shown in Table 3. The Mineral Resource was reported at a combined lead and zinc cut-off grade of 3.7% and in accordance with the JORC Code (2004).

3 Geological Setting

3.1 Regional Setting

The Elura Pb-Zn-Ag deposit is located in the north western region of the Cobar Basin in the Lachlan Fold Belt, central western NSW. The Cobar Basin lies on a basement of Ordovician sediments and Silurian granitic rocks and formed during the Silurian/Devonian as a series of deep-water, half graben troughs/basins and shallow water shelfs, containing predominantly siliciclastic sediments with minor volcanic and carbonate rocks (Figure 3). The basin formed by NE-SW transtension and was closed by NW transpression in the Carboniferous. Basin inversion is characterised by NW-SE folding, overprinted by NE-SW, and NNW-trending eastwards oblique left-lateral reverse faulting (David, 2018)

Mineralisation within the Cobar Basin is controlled by basement architecture, overprinted and modified with secondary controlling factors of inversion tectonics. Types of mineral deposits within the basin include massive sulphides (VMS), clastic hosted Pb-Zn and epithermal gold. These deposits were formed during the early rift-phase on the eastern margin, during later basin inversion, or a combination of early formation and later remobilisation (Figure 4).

3.2 Local Geology and Mineralisation

The Elura deposit is hosted by a limestone breccia overlain by a turbidite sequence of interbedded shale and sandstone/siltstone. The carbonate rocks have been interpreted as belonging to the Brookong Formation of the Kopyje Group and the turbidites are thought to be lithologically equivalent of the CSA Siltstone.

The limestone is generally a clast-supported breccia. Fragments are 5 mm to over 40mm in diameter and are composed of crystalline limestone, crinoid stems, coral and shale.

The sandstone/siltstone beds within the turbidite sequence are 2mm to 1m thick and are generally graded. Laminations and cross bedding are common. Interbedded shale is dark grey and massive to laminated in texture. Minor tuff beds are pale green and 2 to 10cm in thickness. The turbidite sequence is over 1200m in thickness. Generally, this sequence contains approximately 20 to 40 percent sandy/silty beds and 60 to 80 percent shale. Two shale-rich units can be recognised within the turbidite sequence. The Lower Shale is about 200m, and the Upper Shale 700m above the limestone contact. Both units are approximately 50m thick and contain less than about 15 percent sand/silt. The contact between the limestone and turbidites is grossly conformable. A transitional unit of about 100m thickness contains black shale with fossiliferous and sandstone-rich beds.

An example of the stratigraphic column is shown in Figure 5 and a long section of the geology is shown in Figure 6

The general dip of the rocks in the mine area is about 20 degrees to the south west. Underground mapping has revealed the siltstone to be discordant to mineralisation, with bedding draping and wrapping around the ore body. Folds are typically synclinal and anticlinal, of short extent with quartz veining and brecciation often occurring along the ore margins. Localised shears commonly ramp between fold limbs of synclines and anticlines. The folding becomes less intense further away from the ore. A well developed pressure cleavage is the most consistent structure throughout the mine and generally dips steeply towards the south-west.

A number of different fault sets occur in the mine area. All sets are filled with variable amounts of quartz, chlorite, siderite and graphite. Concordant structures are probably the earliest structures in the mine area. These are possibly filled with the thickest veins adjacent to the limestone contact and around anticline axes. A later set of faults and shears parallel the cleavage and axial plane. Steeply dipping, N and NNE faults in turn cut these. These have apparently mainly vertical displacements of up to 50m (Figure 7).

The main orebody is hosted by the fine grained turbidite sequence and comprises multiple sub-vertical elliptical shaped pipe-like pods with an envelope of sulphide stringer mineralisation, in turn surrounded by an envelope of siderite alteration extending for tens of metres away from the sulphide mineralisation. Above about 900m depth, the sulphide stringer mineralisation occurs as a large continuous 15 - 120m wide sheet within the axial plane of an anticline and extends over a strike length of at least 800m. Below 900m depth the stringer zone breaks up and occurs as grossly concordant zones paralleling the limbs of the anticline.

The sub vertical high grade pods occur in the axial plane of the anticline and progressively decrease in size towards the north west. The Main Lode occurs at the southern end of mineralisation, extending from near-surface to approximately 1,000m depth, with lateral extents of between 50m and 120m. The Northern Lodes extend north west from the Main Lode, generally occur only below a depth of 400 – 500m and have lateral extents typically between 30 – 50m.

The core of each lode comprises a massive sulphide zone, with a halo of more siliceous ore and an outer halo of quartz vein and breccia mineralisation. The sulphides generally occur in distinct bands or layers with the boundary between the massive/siliceous mineralisation and the vein mineralisation corresponding to an approximate grade of 10% Pb + Zn. The zonation of mineralisation types has been categorised with abbreviations as follows:

  • PO massive pyrrhotite-pyrite-galena-sphalerite ore, with pyrrhotite predominant, forming the central core of all zones, typically averaging about 9% Zn and 6% Pb.
  • PY massive pyrite-pyrrhotite-galena-sphalerite ore, with pyrite predominant, commonly surrounding the pyrrhotitic core or at the outer margin of massive mineralisation, again typically averaging about 9% Zn and 6% Pb.
  • SIPO siliceous pyrrhotite-pyrite-galena-sphalerite ore, with inclusions of silicified country rock and some quartz veining; pyrrhotite is the predominant sulphide; occurs at the margin of PO and PT mineralisation; typical ore grade averages around 12% combined Pb+Zn.
  • SIPY siliceous pyrite-pyrrhotite-galena-sphalerite ore, with inclusions of silicified country rock and some quartz veining; similar to SIPO but pyrite is the predominant sulphide.
  • VEIN lower grade mineralisation comprising a stockwork of quartz and sulphide veins within silicified siltstone, around the edges of mineralised pods.
  • MINA mineralised altered siltstone.

Although there is typically a transition from massive sulphide through siliceous ore types to vein mineralisation and altered siltstone, the zones are not always concentric, and can be quite irregular, with some zones absent or poorly presented (Figure 8).

There is a change in the nature of the orebody below about 840m depth below surface where the faultrelated, higher grade massive SIPY style mineralisation becomes less prevalent with the VEIN style mineralisation more dominant.

The base of oxidation sits about 65m below the surface with the sulphide zone appearing a further 50m below this. Just below the base of oxidation lies a supergene enrichment zone that displays complex mineralogy but is silver enriched, containing abundant native silver.

Around 150m below the base of the main mineralised pods/lodes, mineralisation is hosted within the western limb of the folded limestone unit, occurring in veins and fractures and replacing calcite, and comprises fine grained pyrrhotite and pyrite, sphalerite, galena and minor chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite and tennanite. The mineralisation is patchy with a high Zn, low Pb ratio. The mineralised zone is broadly tabular in form and currently measures 300m long by 250m high with widths ranging between 10m and 30m, dipping around 70° towards the south west (Figure 9).

The general paragenetic sequence (Table 4) of the Elura deposit involves an early quartz-sericite alteration and intense silicification followed by sulphide deposition (pyrite-pyrrhotite-sphalerite-galenachalcopyrite). During the final stage of hydrothermal activity a carbonate halo was formed including siderite and ankerite. Late stage mineralisation formed chlorite and quartz veins as result of basin inversion related metamorphic processes.

3.2.1 Ore Genesis

There have been many genetic models suggested for the formation of the Elura deposit over the last 40 years, with the two main models being:

  • Syngenetic An original stratiform deposit that was later emplaced by tectonic force into a favourable structural site during deformation, and
  • Epigenetic Where fracturing of an anticline increased permeability allowing the flow of metalbearing fluid to create mineralisation by replacement and cavity-fill processes.

More recent reviews of geological data have favoured a syngenetic model as described by David (2008):

"The Elura deposit is hosted at the major growth-fault (syn-sedimentary listric fault), which separates a shallow-water shelf from a deep-water trough. Different rift host-sequences lithologies from carbonate to clastic sediments host two different mineralised systems; carbonate hosted mineralisation and turbidite-hosted mineralisation.

Emplacement and formation of the Elura deposit was controlled by the tectonic activity of the major basement structures; the growth Elura Fault and the transform/transfer Buckwaroon Fault. During basin development, these structures played a very important role on the sedimentary regime controlling facies distribution. Throughout mineralisation, they were the major conduit and traps for metal-bearing fluids controlling mineralisation processes, whilst for the duration of basin inversion their reactivation controlled deformation in the basin infill.

The deposit formed in the semi-lithified sediments and underwent subsequent modification in the style of the thin-skinned tectonic model characteristic for the Lachlan Orogen. If established genetic models are considered, Elura displays similarities with "Irish-type" base metal deposits."

4 Data Collection

4.1 Drilling

Diamond drilling to define the mineralisation at the Elura deposit has been undertaken during numerous programs over several decades. Drilling has been carried out from surface and underground locations, with the majority having been drilled from underground development (Figure 10).

Overall, there are 2,538 diamond drill holes in the database, totalling 402,359m of drilling. Of those, a total of 2,459 holes totalling 389,697m of drilling were used in the Mineral Resource estimation (Table 5).

4.2.1 Introduction

The Endeavor Mine / Elura deposit is located in Zone 55 of the Map Grid of Australia (MGA) 94 coordinate system. All surveying at the Endeavor Mine has been recorded in a local mine grid which is related to the MGA94 grid by the parameters as shown in Table 7.

4.2.2 Drill Holes

Drill hole collars were surveyed using total station methods. Holes paths were surveyed at least every 30m using downhole methods including single shot, magnetic and gyro.

4.2.3 Topography

A reasonably detailed surface topographic survey was supplied. This Resource estimate is not impacted by surface topography as the uppermost extents of the mineralised domains occurs about 70m below the surface.

4.3 Logging and Sampling

All diamond drill core was delivered to the core yard compound on surface at the end of each shift by the drilling contractor where it was then prepared for logging and sampled by the geologist and field technician. The core trays were laid out along racking systems under cover that provided adequate working conditions in all weather. The core was washed down and metre marked by the field technician using a chinagraph pencil and/or permanent marker and then measured for recovery and RQD information. The geologist then followed by logging the core using coloured chinagraph pencils to mark-up structures, mineralised domains and sampling intervals.

The core was cut using a fully automated Almonte Core Saw that was commissioned in March 2011. The core samples were half cut or alternatively, quarter cut if the sample is submitted as a duplicate or repeat sample. The core was carefully placed back in the trays after cutting to await sampling.

Samples were collected and placed in numbered and ticketed calico bags that were securely fastened. Sample intervals were marked on the preserved core. Samples batches were kept to approximately 30 submitted samples at any one time to avoid overloading the lab, particularly during milling operations.

4.4 Recovery

Core recovery (total core recovery) averaged >98% and the average RQD was 61%.

4.5 Sample Preparation and Analysis

Historically, most assays were carried out at the onsite laboratory. From 2014 overload was sent to ALS laboratory at Orange NSW.

Samples were assayed at the Endeavor laboratory using an Aqua Regia digest with atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) for lead, zinc, silver, iron and copper analyses. The samples were prepared at the Endeavor laboratory and were subjected to the following preparation methodology:

  • Samples were crushed in a small jaw crusher.
  • A scoop sample of the crushed mass was placed into the pulveriser.
  • Samples were then pulverized to pass 38 micron and split to usually a 200-300ml aliquot.
  • The pulps were prepared in an Aqua Regia digest and analysed using flame absorption spectrometry for lead, zinc, copper, iron and silver.
  • Coarse oversize fraction was disposed of whilst the pulverized fraction was bagged, boxed and stored on site.

Sample sent to ALS-Orange were assayed by an Aqua Regia digestion using AAS (ICP-AES) analysis for lead, zinc, silver, iron and copper. The prepared sample is digested in 75% aqua regia for 120 minutes and after cooling, the resulting solution is diluted to volume (100mL) with de-ionised water, mixed and then analysed for inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry or by atomic absorption spectrometry.

4.6 Quality Control Procedures

Quality Control procedures appear to have been implemented at the Endeavor Mine in 2005, with blanks and standards (no duplicates) being recorded for the last of the DE holes drilled, and from approximately

NP750 onwards. Since 2011, standards (including blanks) have been inserted at the rate of approximately one in 20 samples.

4.7 Density Measurements

Historically, Bulk Density had been assigned to the block model on a domain by domain basis. Work completed by H&S Consulting in 2015 recommended that a calculated density value be used. Since calculated bulk densities have been used, stopes tonnes have generally reconciled well, which has been attributed to the change to the use of calculated densities.

The formula used to derive the calculated densities involves a number of steps:

    1. gn = Pb x 100/86.6 where Pb > 0.0
    1. sp = Zn x 100/67.1 where Zn > 0.0
    1. po_pct = Fe x 2
    1. fe_gangue = (30-Fe)/60, with a minimum of 5% (0.05)
    1. py = fe x 100/46.5 x (100 po_pct) x (1- fe_gangue)/100
    1. po = fe x 100/60.4 x po_pct x (1- fe_gangue)/100
    1. total_sulph_1 = gn + sp + py + po
    1. if total_sulph_1 > 95%, total_sulp_2 = 95%, otherwise total_sulph_2 = total_sulp_1
    • a. py_final = py x (total_sulp_2 gn sp)/(total_sulp_1 gn –sp)
    • b. po_final = po x (total_sulp_2 gn sp)/(total_sulp_1 gn –sp)
    1. gangue_pct = (100 total_sulp_2)
    1. density_calc = (gn x 7.5 + sp x 4.0 + po x 4.6 + py x 5.02 + gangue_pct x 2.5)/100

An internal company report noted that above 9800mRL, early drilling often did not include Fe assays resulting in understated calculated densities in some areas above this level. This issue was addressed by running a script that calculates an Fe grade:

• Fe = [Pb+Zn]x2

for any un-estimated Fe blocks with Pb and Zn grades.

5 Data Verification

5.1 Assessment of Quality Control Data

The accuracy of the assay data for the Endeavor Mine (Elura deposit) was assessed based on assays of certified reference material (CRM's or Standards) including blank material inserted into the sample stream as part of the quality control procedures for the drilling programs. Comments below are taken from internal company reports of previous Resource estimates.

The quality control data was assessed, and the results of the statistical analyses were presented as summary plots which included:

Standard Control Plots - show the assay results of a particular reference standard over time. The results can be compared to the expected value, and the ±10% precision lines are also plotted, providing a good indication of both precision and accuracy over time.

5.1.1 Assay Accuracy

The accuracy of the assay data and the potential for cross contamination of samples during sample preparation has been assessed based on the assay results for the field standards and blanks.

From 2005 until 2012, a variety of 'Gannet' Standards were used but only Standards BM62, BM71 and BM160 were used on a regular basis, providing sufficient data to allow analysis. No analysis in recent years has been done on the 112 BM160 assays as the Certified Reference Material (CRM) grades (0.70% Zn, 0.19% Pb and 8.1 g/t Ag) were assumed to be for exploration work and too low for the assay method.

In 2013, 3 new standards (OREAS 131B, 132B and 133B) were introduced to provide a better spread of low, medium and high grades respectively for Pb, Zn and Ag, and the same standards have been used since. OREAS_132B became unavailable during 2017-2018 and was replaced by OREAS_136 and OREAS_138 to cover the medium grades.

The standards and blanks used during the most recent 2018-2019 drilling were analysed separately and are shown in Attachment 2. During 2018-2019 all four of the standards used during the year performed better than the previous 12 month although Ag continued to produce some variability (with 4 outliers from 93 samples) in the low grade OREAS 131B as shown in Figure 6. A total of 367 CRM samples were assayed throughout 2018-2019 with 277 going to the mine lab and the remaining 90 going to ALS/Orange. Of the 11 outliers greater than 10% above or below the expected value, three were analysed at ALS and eight analysed at the mine lab. The 11 outliers comprised six Ag (1.6% of total CRM analyses), two Pb (0.5%) and three Zn (0.8%) assays.

A total of 364 blanks were added to the sample stream during the 2018-2019 drilling programs. A small percentage of samples reported Pb and Zn grades above the level of detection (BLD), but these were considered to be well within acceptable limits given the low grades being reported

5.2 Assessment of Project Database

For this Resource estimate the database was connected to Surpac software for validation which included the following activities:

  • Ensure compatibility of total hole depth data in the collar, survey, assay, and geology drill hole database files.
  • Check for overlapping sample intervals.
  • Checking of drill hole locations against the surface topography and underground development.
  • Visual validation.

No issues were found with the supplied database file.

5.3 Data Quality Summary

Review of the database veracity, including data quality, has identified no material issues apart from the lack of quality assurance data to monitor assay precision during the sample collection stage i.e. the collection of duplicate samples.

Previous reporting on internal laboratory accuracy and precision has not raised any significant issues.

The lack of QC at the sample collection stage is not considered to be a significant problem with the data from the deposit, as reconciliation of mined grades to model grades during production were within acceptable tolerances. Comparison of the estimated grades and mill production for the calendar year 2019 revealed a reconciliation of 102% of expected Pb+Zn% grade.

Lutherburrow (2002) commented that "in the twenty years of the mines history mining reconciliation and metallurgical balances have not identified any serious systematic problems with the prediction of ore grade. This reflects the fact that the Elura ore has low internal grade variability. The massive ore has an average grade of composite assays of around 10% zinc with a standard deviation of around 2. At the current very close drill spacing there is very little risk that assay error will significantly over value the Resource and historically no bias has been detected".

6 Geological Interpretation and Modelling

6.1 Mineralised Domain Modelling

As mentioned previously in this report (Section 3.2) the Elura deposit comprises multiple zones of mineralisation styles based on mineralogy, grade, veining etc. that typically transition from a massive sulphide core to an altered siltstone and veined outer halo. These zones were, from high to low grade:

  • Pyrrhotitic (PO)
  • Pyritic (PY)
  • Siliceous Pyritic (SIPY)
  • Siliceous Pyrrhotitic (SIPO)
  • Vein (VEIN)
  • Mineralised Altered Siltstone (MINA)

Another style of mineralisation is located about 150m beneath the siltstone-hosted mineralisation which is hosted in limestone:

• Mineralised Limestone (DZL)

Based on all the available geological and grade information, suitable mineralised domain boundaries were interpreted, and wireframes constructed to constrain grade estimation for the Elura deposit, based on the mineralisation zoning described above.

Domain boundaries of the siltstone-hosted mineralisation were interpreted on 5m elevation intervals for the entire deposit using drill-hole data, geological interpretation and back mapping from all the levels. The SIPY and SIPO zones were combined into one domain (SP). The grade domains were further divided into lode domains for estimation (Figure 12)

The limestone-hosted mineralisation was modelled as one domain. The contact of the limestone and the surrounding sediments was modelled on ~10 m sections using all the available drillholes. This wireframe was not used for the grade estimation however was used to help define the mineralised domains within the Limestone domain.

The mineralised domain for the DZL has been interpreted using a combination of cross-sections and level plans. Due to the strike of the mineralisation, cross sections were generated on a strike direction of 330 degrees (NW). A nominal 5% PbZn cut-off grade was used to define the boundary between mineralised and un-mineralised material, although some intercepts below 5% PbZn have been included for continuity purposes. Sectional polygons were digitised at nominal 10 m spacings with these used to create 3-D mineralisation solids. A minimum downhole length of 2 m was used with internal dilution included if the combined length weighted average was greater than 5% PbZn.

The mineralisation wireframes were extended half the distance to the nearest drillhole, up to a maximum of 20 m. The extremities of the wireframes were also extrapolated to a maximum of 20 m along strike.

7 Mineral Processing

The ore from the Endeavor Mine is processed through a conventional Pb/Zn/Ag flotation plant with a demonstrated capacity of 1.2 Mtpa.

The ore is crushed underground and hoisted to a surface stockpile from where it is fed to a grinding circuit comprising a SAG mill and two stages of ball milling to reduce it to a sizing of 80% passing 45 micron. After milling the ore is first floated for lead recovery. The lead rougher concentrate is reground to 80% passing 20 micron and cleaned in three stages to produce a final lead concentrate. The lead rougher tailings are treated in a lead scavenger flotation circuit with the scavenger concentrate returned to the rougher circuit. The lead scavenger tailings are fed to the zinc rougher and scavenger circuit; the zinc concentrates are also reground to 80% passing 30 micron and cleaned in three stages to produce a final zinc concentrate. The first zinc cleaner tailings are retreated in a zinc extension flotation circuit with concentrates returned to the regrind mill and tailings sent to final tailings. The lead and zinc concentrates are thickened, filtered, and stockpiled prior to loading into rail cars for shipment to market. Final tailings from the zinc scavengers are thickened and discharged to the TSF.

A copper recovery circuit was installed in 2006 to maximise the copper value which was not fully realised when contained in the lead concentrates. Cyanide addition to the lead circuit depressed copper from the lead concentrate, but cessation of this practice in 2002/2003 allowed the copper content of the lead concentrate to increase to between 1.5 and 2% Cu. The copper recovery plant treats the lead concentrate with sulphuric acid to clean the mineral surfaces and to depress galena. Lime and collectors are used to recover a copper concentrate and the copper flotation tailings become the lead concentrate.

The mill has demonstrated recoveries of 74% for Pb, 83% for Zn and 51% for Ag.

8 Statistical Analysis

8.1 Introduction

Statistical analysis was undertaken based on composited datasets of the lead, zinc and silver assays. The activities completed in this phase of the study were as follows: -

  • Determination of a suitable composite length.
  • Compositing of the drill hole data to lengths within the coded domain intervals.
  • Compilation of descriptive statistics and histogram plots of the composite data sets.
  • Outlier grade analysis and determination of upper grade cuts.

8.2 Sample Length Analysis and Compositing

In compositing to an appropriate regular downhole length, the aim is to: -

  • Achieve uniform sample support.
  • Reduce the impact of random variability; and
  • Minimise the effect of averaging samples of a skewed distribution.

Note, however, that equalising sample length is not the only criteria for standardising sample support. Factors such as angle of intersection of the sampling to mineralisation, sample type and diameters, drilling conditions, recovery, sampling/sub-sampling practices and laboratory practices all effect the 'support' of a sample. Composites are generated downhole at the nominated interval within domain boundaries with length used to weight each contributing sample in calculating the composite grade.

The validated drilling database used in the 2019 Resource estimate contains 2,459 diamond drill-holes creating 52,882 assay samples from the selected diamond drill holes in the upper lodes (ML, NP, WM and MLDeeps domains) and 1,525 assay samples in the DZL.

8.2.1 Upper Lode Domains

A breakdown of the number of assays per length interval in the upper lode domains is shown in Table 10. Composite lengths were determined by the dominant interval with the exception of the WM domain which also used a 2m composite length.

Domain <0.9m 0.9-1.1m 1.1-1.9m 1.9-2.1m 2.1-2.9m 2.9-3.1m >3.1m Total

WM(MINA) 109 115 48 123 0 8 0 403
Total

Table 10 – Number Samples per Length Interval.

The MLDeeps area was infill drilled in 2017-2018 and the majority of diamond holes in this area have been assayed at no more than 1m intervals. With 64% of assays in the MLDeeps being 0.9 – 1.1m in length, the MLDeeps estimations used 1m run length composites.

The remaining ML, ML(MINA), NP, NP(MINA), WM and WM(MINA) domains are predominantly ~2m composites with 43% of assay intervals being between 1.9 – 2.1m in length. Two metre run length composites were therefore used for all estimations to these domains.

Compositing for both 1m and 2m intervals was run in Vulcan using a 'selection' file to ensure only validated drill-holes were accessed in the estimation process. A Total of 22 validated holes were removed from the selection file due to either having not been assayed (12) or doubts about the spatial location of the drill hole (10).

8.2.2 Deep Zinc Lode

The general statistics for the raw assay data show the modal distribution for the length of assays for the DZL is proximal to 1 m (Figure 14). Therefore, this value has been chosen for the composite length. For intervals that are not integers of 1 m will result in the last composite being less than chosen of length of 1 m (residual). A residual length of 0.3 m was chosen as the minimum composite length with values less than this being added to previous composite. Therefore, the range of composite lengths will be between 0.3 and 1.3m with the majority being 1m. These Composites and length weighted during the estimation process to counter the influence of smaller and larger composite lengths.

8.3 Statistical Analysis of Composite Data

High grade cuts of Ag grades were applied to a number of domains prior to statistical analyses as shown in Table 11. It is not stated how these cuts were determined.

Metal Domains High Grade Cut
Ag ML, ML(MINA), NP, NP(MINA) 375 g/t
Ag ML Deeps 278 g/t

Table 11 – High Grade Cuts

Detailed statistical analysis of the composite assay data was conducted. Descriptive statistics for the composites, subdivided by metal, grade and lode domains, are presented in Table 12.

9 Spatial Analysis

9.1 Introduction

Variography is used to describe the spatial variability or correlation of an attribute. The spatial variability is traditionally measured by means of a variogram, which is generated by determining the averaged squared difference of data points at a nominated distance (h), or lag. The averaged squared difference (variogram or γ(h)) for each lag distance is plotted on a bivariate plot where the X-axis is the lag distance and the Y-axis represents the average squared differences (γ(h)) for the nominated lag distance.

Fitted to the determined experimental variography is a series of mathematical models which, when used in the kriging algorithm, will recreate the spatial continuity observed in the variography.

9.2 Grade Variography

Variography was completed for the Main Lode (ML), Northern Pods (NP), Western Mineralisation (WM), MLDeeps. and Deep Zinc Lode.

The modelled variography for Pb, Zn and Ag in all domains display low relative nugget values. The variograms have short range structures that account for between 30% (Zn-MLDeeps) and 80% (Ag-DZL) of the total variance including nugget effect, with ranges of between 10m (Zn-MLDeeps) and 55m (Ag-ML). Overall ranges range from 15m (Pb, Zn-WM) to 500m (Ag-ML).

The fitted variogram models are shown in Table 13.

10 Block Model Development

10.1 Introduction

Separate three-dimensional block models were constructed for the siltstone-hosted and limestonehosted mineralisation using Vulcan mining software, in preparation for undertaking resource estimation. The block models contain sufficient variables to record the results of grade estimates and other required parameters.

10.2 Block Model Construction Parameters

Table 14 summarises the extents of the block models. The block models were developed using block dimensions that took into consideration geological interpretations, data spacing, and mining constraints. The block models were also sub-blocked to provide accurate reproduction of the domain wireframe volumes.

10.3 Block Model Attributes

A series of attributes were incorporated into the block models for recording variables assigned and calculated throughout development of the block model and during grade estimation.

Block model attributes include seven to identify domains (domain, domain_2, lith and zone), the mining status (statusmined and group) and resource categories (resourcecat).

The domain variable was flagged by lode (ML, NP, WM or MLDeeps) and domain_2 according to their respective VEIN or MINA wireframes. The zone variable allowed the three lodes to be broken down into their respective mineralised domains; MLPO, MLPY, MLSP, MLVN, NPPO, NPPY, NPSP, NPVN, WMSP, WMVN and MLDEEPS. For the lith variable, MLPO and NPPO were combined as PO; MLPY and NPPY were combined as PY; MLSP, NPSP and WMSP were combined as SIPY; and MLVN, NPVN and WMVN were combined as VEIN. Waste blocks outside the ML, NP, WM and MLDeeps domains were designated as CSA.

The statusmined variable contains 'insitu', 'skin', 'mined', 'dev' and 'mullock' blocks. The mining department had a general policy of leaving a 5m 'skin' around an existing void, thereby potentially sterilising a significant amount of resource material. In an effort to obtain a good indication of the tonnages potentially sterilised, 'skins' were produced by expanding all mined voids by 5m. The subsequent wireframes were then included in the block model.

The group variable enabled the statusmined components to be coalesced into 'in_skin' (insitu + skin) and 'mined' blocks (mined + dev).

The statusmined 'mullock' blocks are the same as domain 'csa' blocks.

A full list of the attributes contained within the final block models is provided in Attachment 3.

10.4 Block Model Validation

The block model was extensively validated against the domain model wireframes. The model has been validated by viewing in multiple orientations using the 3-D viewing tools in Surpac. Based on the visual review, and reproduction of the wireframe volumes (Table 15), the block model was considered a robust representation of the interpreted mineralised domains.

11 Grade Estimation

11.1 Introduction

Resource estimation was undertaken using Ordinary Kriging (OK) as the estimation methodology for, Pb, Zn, Ag and Fe within the mineralised domains.

OK is one of the more common geostatistical methods for estimating the block grade. In this interpolation technique, contributing composite samples are identified using a search volume applied from the centre of each block. Weights are determined so as to minimise the error variance considering both the spatial location of the selected composites and the modelled variogram. Variography describes the correlation between composite samples as a function of distance and direction. The weighted composite sample grades are then combined to generate a block estimate and variance.

11.2 Search Neighbourhood and Grade Estimation

11.2.1Main Endeavor Model

Search ellipse orientations and distances were determined based on variogram orientation, variogram model anisotropy and ranges, mineralisation geometry and data distribution.

A multiple search strategy in obtaining the estimates using the results of the search neighbourhood analysis. Table 16 provides the sample search parameters applied for each estimation pass. A total of 91 estimations were run using Ordinary Kriging in Vulcan to the seven domains; ML, MLMN, NP, NPMN, WM, WMMN and MLDeeps, comprising 3 passes each for Zn, Pb, Ag and Cu. Fe was run as a single pass to the same domains.

The 2019 Resource report does not state if block discretisation was carried out.

Domain control was used for both the input composite data and block selections (i.e. hard boundaries) for VEIN and MINA domains. The remaining domain boundaries (PO, PY, SIPY) were treated as soft boundaries during estimation (Figure 15).

The resultant grade estimates are held in the model file, en_july2019.bmf.

11.2.2 Deep Zinc Lode Model

The search ellipse distance and orientation used have been selected based on the variograms. In addition, due to the complexity of the geometry of the mineralisation, a local varying anisotropic (LVA) model was created. This was implemented to avoid the necessary of many smaller wireframes which would have impacted on the domain statistics.

The first estimation pass had a distance of 1/3 of the range of the variogram with the number of samples used ranging from 8 to 30 samples for all domains. The second pass had a distance approximately equal to that of the variogram with the same minimum and maximum number of samples as the first pass. The third pass used a distance twice the range of the variogram, with a decrease in the minimum samples required to 2 samples.

The minimum and maximum numbers of samples for the estimation were determined from a Kriging Neighbourhood Analysis (KNA). The details of the search parameters are listed in Table 16. The search pass is slightly different to that of the Endeavor mine in that an octant-based search was not used. The decision not to use an octant-based search was based on the relatively narrow zone of mineralisation which may result in the estimation acquiring sufficient samples to perform the estimation.

The 2019 Resource report does not state if block discretisation was carried out.

Wireframes were used as a hard boundary for the interpolation of Zinc, Lead, Silver and iron grades.

The resultant grade estimates are held in the model file, dzl_20191022.bmf.

11.3 Validation

Validation of the estimate was completed and included both interactive and statistical review. The validation methods included: -

  • A visual comparison of the input data against the block model grade in plan and cross section.
  • Comparison of global statistics.
  • Swath plots, comparing the composite grade and the estimated grade grouped by intervals in plan and section.

The visual assessment of block model grades compared to drill hole grades (Figure 16) did not highlight any particular issues. Block grades display good correlation with nearby composite grades and acceptable representation of interpreted grade continuity.

The local estimates were reviewed by graphing summary statistics of composite and block grades on 20m spaced northing. easting and elevation slices (swath plots). The analysis of swath plots (Figure 17) demonstrates that the grade variability in composites (purple lines) is generally comparable to that of the grade estimates (red lines). The directional trends observed in composites are reproduced within the block estimates. Acceptable levels of reproducibility are noted between the input composites data and the block estimates based on visual review, although the block values for all three metals in the NP and WM domain appear consistently lower than the composite grades (Table 17). This should be investigated further.

12 Mineral Resource Reporting

12.1 Introduction

The Resource estimate has been classified as Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources in accordance with guidelines as set out in the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) Code (2012). Resource categories have been defined using definitive criteria determined during the validation of the grade estimates, with detailed consideration of the JORC Code categorisation guidelines.

12.2 Resource Categorisation

The key parameters considered during the resource categorisation are as follows: -

  • Geological knowledge and interpretation.
  • Deposit style.
  • Confidence in the sampling and assay data.
  • Spacing of the exploration data.
  • Variogram model ranges in relation to the local data spacing and the estimation variance.
  • Prospects for eventual economic extraction.

The exploration data used for the Endeavor Mine Resource estimate is robust and appropriate for resource estimation purposes, with the current data spacing sufficient to generate robust mineralisation interpretations. The geology of the project area has been studied in detail over numerous years, providing confidence in the interpretation of mineralisation style. Historical mining records give further confidence in the existence of economic mineralisation.

Prospects for eventual economic extraction are high as the deposit is extensively developed, and there is an existing processing plant on site. Development has reached the top of the Deep Zinc Lode.

Based on the consideration of items listed above, and review of the resource block model estimate quality, classification criteria were determined as summarised in the following: -

Measured

o Blocks that were estimated in the first pass (except for VEIN domain and DZL).

  • Indicated
    • o Blocks that were estimated in the second pass (or first pass in the VEIN domain).
    • o Blocks in DZL domain estimated in first or second pass and a slope of regression greater than 0.3.
  • Inferred
    • o Blocks that were estimated in the third pass (or second pass in the VEIN domain).
    • o Blocks in DZL domain estimated in first or second pass and a slope of regression less than 0.3, or estimated in the third pass.

Long sections and a plan section displaying the areas of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources is displayed in Figure 18.

The key criteria that were considered during resource classification are presented in JORC Table1 in Attachment 1.

12.3 Grade Tonnage Report

Grade-tonnage curves for the siltstone-hosted and limestone-hosted mineralisation, depleted for mining, and including the 5m stope skins, have been calculated for the deposit for Pb+Zn cut-off grades between 1 and 15 % and are shown in Figure 19.

12.4 Cut-Off Grade Discussion

Cut-off grade selection for polymetallic mines can be problematic as the value of one tonne of material is a function of more than one metal grade. For polymetallic deposits, the utility of sending one tonnes of material to the smelter is best expressed in terms of net smelter return, or NSR. The NSR is defined as the return from sales of concentrates, expressed in dollars per tonne of ore, excluding mining and processing costs. (Rendu, 2008).

The cut-off value for NSR is then determined from mining, processing, and overhead costs per tonne of material milled.

The formula for calculating NSR value of each tonne of material is:

NSR(x1, x2, x3) = x1r1p1(V1) + x2r2p2(V2) + x3r3p3(V3) - (Cs + Ct)/K

Where:

x1, etc = Grade of metal 1, etc
r1, etc = Floatation Recovery of metal 1, etc
p1, etc = Smelting Recovery of metal 1, etc
V1, etc = Value of metal 1, etc
Cs + Ct = Smelting and freight costs per tonne of concentrate
K = Tonnes of ore required to make one tonne of concentrate

For the Endeavor Mine, the NSR calculation takes into consideration the recoveries, revenues, and associated RC's and TC's of lead, zinc, and silver. The key assumption used in the calculation of NSR for each tonne of material are shown in Table 18.

Exchange Flotation Recovery SmeltingRecovery Smelting andFreight costs Tonnes ore / Tonnesconcentrate
Metal Metal Price Rate Below10080mRL Above10080mRL per tonne Below10080mRL Above10080mRL
Pb US$2,050/t 74% 62% 95%
Zn US$3,000/t AU$1=US$0.69 83% 75% 85% $523 5.15 5.36
Ag US$22.50/oz 51% 66% 95%

Table 18 – Key NSR Calculation Assumptions

Two sets of flotation recovery values have been used to account for the change in mineralogy above 10080mRL. The Base of Oxidation for the Elura deposit sits at approximately 10150mRL or 65m below surface, with the sulphide zone appearing at approximately 10100mRL. Above the sulphide zone there is a small zone of 'supergene' material. This material has very complex mineralogy but does contain native silver and is zinc depleted. The sulphide zone beneath the supergene zone and above about 10080mRL (named the "Level 1 Sulphides") contains unusually high levels of marcasite. When exposed and subjected to oxidising conditions the marcasite undergoes "pyrite decay" which can have a detrimental effect on metal recoveries through the processing plant.

Metallurgical testwork has shown reasonable recoveries can be achieved, albeit lower than usual, provided the ore is processed as soon as possible after mining.

Grade-tonnage curves for the siltstone-hosted and limestone-hosted mineralisation, depleted for mining, and including the 5m stope skins, have been calculated for the deposit for NSR cut-off values between 100 and 200 $/t and are shown in Figure 20.

12.5 Mineral Resource Statement

The Mineral Resource Statement for the Endeavor Mine (Elura Zn-Pb-Ag deposit) Mineral Resource Estimate, based on information available as at 1st February 2023, and reported at an NSR cut-off value of $150/t for material below 10080mRL and $190/t for material above 10080mRL is presented in Table 19. The NSR value for material below 10080mRL is based on a 25% increase in mining, processing and general overhead costs since the cessation of mining in 2019. The NSR value for material above 10080mRL (Level 1 Sulphides) is based on higher processing costs to achieve acceptable recoveries and higher mining costs to account for increased ground support required for softer material.

The Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources include the siltstone-hosted mineralisation of the upper mine and the deeper limestone-hosted mineralisation (DZL), and is depleted for mining voids.

The Mineral Resource Statement also includes 5m skins surrounding existing stoped areas. The mine has a history of using paste fill to backfill stope voids, allowing the recovery of pillars and other remnant material. Some of this material may be excluded from Ore Reserve estimations if assessed as being nonrecoverable. Information is not available at this stage of Mineral Resource estimation to determine the extent of recovery of remnant material. However, there is a reasonable prospect for eventual extraction of remnant material. The Mineral Resource Statement has been divided into remnant (5m skins) and non-remnant material in Table 20 and is shown in Figure 21.
