ASX ANNOUNCEMENT / MEDIA RELEASE ASX:ABU

25 June, 2014

ABM provides update on infill and extensional exploration work at the Old Pirate High-Grade Gold Project

ABM Resources NL ("ABM" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on grade control and infill drilling and extensional exploration work at the Old Pirate High-Grade Gold Project located at the Twin Bonanza Project in the Northern Territory of Australia.

Infill / Grade Control Drilling

  • 10,000 metres of drilling completed to date, with assay results for approximately 30% received (Western Limb and Central Zones only). Drilling is ongoing with assays pending for other zones at Old Pirate.

  • Average mineralised interval is 19.9 gram-metres (grade*interval width) (0.5g/t cut-off).
  • Western Limb Old Pirate drill results are generally in line with previous work and include intervals of:
  • o 7 metres averaging 17.86g/t gold including:
    • 3 metres averaging 40.92g/t gold with a peak value of 63.2g/t gold.
  • o 8 metres averaging 9.00g/t gold including:
    • 2 metres averaging 35.25g/t gold with a peak value of 48.8g/t gold.
  • o 4 metres averaging 17.02g/t gold with a peak value of 38.6g/t gold.
  • Central Zone Old Pirate results are generally in line with previous work including higher grade intervals of:
  • o 9 metres averaging 16.71g/t gold including:
    • 4 metres averaging 37.13g/t gold with a peak value of 76.6g/t gold.
  • o 16 metres averaging 7.27g/t gold including:
    • 10 metres averaging 10.55g/t gold with a peak value of 47.3g/t gold.

Intervals reported at a 0.5g/t cut-off with higher grade intervals reported at 1.0g/t cut-off. See below for further details. All assays are 1m composites.

Extensional exploration work – surface trenching

  • 44.9g/t gold trench sample from a previously unidentified narrow vein south west of the Bermuda Zone (named the "Dominica" vein).
  • 9.27g/t gold, 6.89g/t gold and 4.8g/t gold in trenching ~100 metres north of Central zone.
  • 8.52g/t gold over a 3.65 metre wide zone in trench samples from Bermuda South.
  • 7.31g/t gold and 3.06g/t gold in closely spaced trench assays north of Old Glory.
  • Assays up to 4.8g/t gold north of the Western Limb including visible gold sighted 300 metres north and along strike.

Infill / Grade Control Drilling

ABM is currently conducting a reverse circulation drilling program of up to 30,000 metres at Old Pirate. The infill / grade control drilling component is focusing on the top 50 metres of the system with a view to developing the mining inventory for the open pit and enabling final pit design. To date over 10,000 metres have been completed and the Company has received assay results for approximately 30% of this drilling.

The Company has largely completed the first phase (25m spaced) with the rig now being moved to waste dump sterilisation and environmental work whilst the remaining assays are received. Dependent on assay results ABM will determine which, if any, zones require further infill drilling (to 12.5 metre spaced drill lines). Several extensional zones will also be tested.

Significant intercepts are shown in Appendix 1 and in Figure 1 and 2 below.

Extensional Exploration Work

Concurrently with the drilling program, the Company also conducted trenching to expose new quartz veins and map geology in areas of interest. To date approximately 2,000 metres of trenching have been completed. Results are shown in Figures 2 and 4.

Central Northern Extensions

Trenching approximately 100 metres north of the Central Old Pirate zone revealed multiple quartz veins including assay results up to 9.27g/t gold over 0.26 metres and 6.49g/t gold over 0.39 metres. This work will be followed up with extensional drilling (Figure 2).

Dominica Vein

A new vein was uncovered approximately 120 metres southwest of the Bermuda Zone with an assay result of 44.9g/t gold from a 0.18 metre wide quartz vein. This vein has been named the "Dominica" vein. Soil clearing above this vein revealed a strike length of approximately 30 metres with longitudinal sampling from the vein completed and pending results.

Bermuda Zone

Cross-trenching through the previously identified Bermuda and Bermuda South zones returned assays up to 8.52g/t gold and 4.26g/t gold. Trenching revealed narrow quartz veins and potential mineralised shear zones hosted within a diorite porphyry.

Old Glory North

Extensional assay results from Old Glory North include samples up to 7.31g/t gold over 0.67 metres and 3.06g/t gold over 0.85 metres.

Western Limb far-north

Several trenches have been excavated through areas of shallow cover in an attempt to locate extensions to the Western Limb. Results include assays up to 4.8g/t gold over 0.29 metres width located 120m north of the Western Limb, and a low grade assay (1.8g/t gold) but with visible gold in a quartz vein sample 300 metres north of the Western Limb.

About Old Pirate

The Old Pirate high-grade gold project consists of a series of gold-bearing quartz veins with an overall strikelength of ~1.8 kilometres. Veins range from a few centimetres to 6 metres in width with individual veins varying in grade and width along strike. In 2013 ABM completed trial mining from 13 test pits on the Old Pirate trend, processed 8,122 tonnes of material at an average head grade of 15.4g/t gold and recovered 86% of gold using gravity only methods. This trial mining confirmed the potential for the development of a highgrade open pit. Gold is characterised as both, fine and coarse, and has a high statistical nugget effect whereby drilling alone cannot generally provide statistical information required to define a long term and detailed mine plan. As a result ABM applies a risk managed staged approach to development at Old Pirate whereby capital expenditure is deployed sequentially and each stage of development informs the next stage. Following the successful completion of Stage 1 trial mining in 2013, ABM is now undertaking design work for the Stage 2 open pit phase. Concurrently ABM is working with the relevant authorities for final authorisation to mine as soon as possible.

About ABM Resources

ABM is an exploration Company developing several gold discoveries in the Central Desert region of the Northern Territory of Australia. The Company has a multi-tiered approach to exploration and development with a combination of high-grade potentially short-term production scenarios such as the Old Pirate High-Grade Gold Project, large scale discoveries such as Buccaneer, and regional exploration discoveries such as the Hyperion Gold Project.

In addition, ABM is committed to regional exploration programs throughout its extensive holdings including the alliance with Independence Group NL at the regional Lake Mackay Project, and the proposed divestment of the North Arunta Projects to Clancy Exploration Ltd.

APPENDIX 2

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.

In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling
was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

The project comprises grade control drilling and trenching (cut channels) spanning the Old Pirate to Golden Hind
deposits (approximately 2km x 0.4km).

Trenches were exposed with an excavator in east to west traverses at various spacing's across the deposit and
potential extensions, depending on the complexity of local geology. Samples were taken across the exposed wall at
intervals appropriate to the varying geology. Minimum sample width was 0.11m, maximum 7.68m. Samples were
collected below transported cover level, across the entire width of the lithological unit to ensure the samples were
representative.

Trench sample weights averaged 2.3kg, and were sent to ALS prep facility in Alice Springs where they were crushed
and randomised. A master pulp of approximately 400g was then sent to the lab facility, where a 50g charge was fire
assayed. Samples assaying between 1-20 g/t Au were re-assayed using the AA-AU26 technique from the master
pulp.

First round drilling was undertaken at a nominal 25 x 12.5m spacing.

Reverse circulation samples were split into three portions using a cone splitter at 1m intervals to produce nominal
2.5kg samples. One portion was pulverised by the lab to produce a 50g charge for fire assay. One portion was
retained as a duplicate sample, and one was used by geologists for logging purposes.
Drilling techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg
core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

ABM RC drilling was undertaken with a Schramm 685. This rig has a depth capability of approximately 600m, using
a 1000psi, 1350cfm Sullair compressor and auxiliary booster. Holes were drilled with 5 5/8" diameter bit.
Drill sample recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due
to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

All ABM RC samples were taken using a 12.5:1 Sandvik static cone splitter mounted under a polyurethane cyclone.
Samples were split into 3 aliquots, with one sent to the lab for assay, one stored and retained for QA/QC purposes,
and one remaining at the drill site. Size of the sample was monitored at the drill site by the responsible geologist to
ensure adequate recovery. No relationship between sample recovery and grade is apparent.

With recoveries over 90% sample bias is unlikely due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material occurring.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.

The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

ABM RC samples were geologically logged at the drill rig by a geologist using a laptop using the Maxwell LogChief
data capture system. Data on lithology, weathering, alteration, ore mineral content and style of mineralisation, and
quartz content and style of quartz were collected.

Exposed walls were mapped across the length of the trench, logged, and surveyed by geologists with a differential
GPS to cm-scale. Width, rock unit, weathering, grain size, quartz percentage, type and texture, colour, alteration and
mineralogy were all recorded.
Sub-sampling
techniques and sample
preparation

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 whether sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance
results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.

RC samples were split with a 12.5:1 Sandvik static cone splitter mounted under a polyurethane cyclone.

RC drilling :
A blank is inserted before the 1st metre of the drill hole. Blank material was sourced by the laboratory, with an
-
average Au assay of less than 0.01g/t.
-
A standard is inserted every 50 samples. Fifteen certified standards were acquired from Geo Stats Pty. Ltd.,
with different gold grade and lithology.
-
A duplicate sample was taken every 100 samples, in addition to one sample per hole.
Trench Sampling:
A blank is inserted before the 1st metre of the drill hole. Blank material was sourced by the laboratory, with an
-
average Au assay of less than 0.01g/t.
-
A standard is inserted every 50 samples. Fifteen certified standards were acquired from Geo Stats Pty. Ltd.,
with different gold grade and lithology.
-
A duplicate was taken of quartz lithology's.
Upon receipt by the lab, samples were logged, weighed, and dried if wet. Samples were then crushed to 2mm
(70%), then split using a riffle splitter, with 250g crushed to 75μm (85%). 50g charges were then fire assayed.
Quality of assay data
and laboratory tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique
is considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and
whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.

Fire assay with detection limit of 0.01g/t Au was used on all samples. All samples between 1g/t -20g/t were re
assayed using ALS Fire Assay/AA26 ore-grade method.

The quartz veins at Old Pirate have a statistical high nugget effect. It is estimated that 1 in 5 hand samples from the
main mineralised zones at Old Pirate contain visible gold (observed under x20 microscope / hand lens) and some
gold grains have been observed up to 5mm across. Replicating assay results is difficult and the laboratory has
reported coarse particulate gold. Two samples from the same location can show highly variable results. ABM has
trialed various techniques including screen fire, multi sample fire assay, leachwell and re-splits to gain a better
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
estimate of grade in individual samples. Samples >1g/t are commonly re-assayed multiple times.

In addition to standards and blanks previously discussed, ALS conducted internal lab checks using standards and
blanks. Standards and blanks returned within acceptable limits, and field duplicates showed good correlation.
Verification of sampling
and assaying

The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Widths of samples taken from trenches were recorded to cm-accuracy with a differential GPS. Sample data are
entered into a spreadsheet, which is both reviewed by a project manager, and checked by an automated program
before being imported into the database.

No adjustments or calibrations have been made to the assay data.

29 RC holes were planned to twin existing holes that were drilled by previous holders Newmont / Normandy NFM.

Significant intersections were calculated independently by both the Project Geologist and Managing Director.

ABM has used diamond drilling to twin two RC holes at Old Pirate and Golden Hind, and has found geology and
assay results to be consistent.

For drilling data, ABM uses the Maxwell Data Schema (MDS) version 4.5.1. The interface to the MDS used is
DataShed version 4.5 and SQL 2008 R2 (the MDS is compatible with SQL 2008-2012 – most recent industry
versions used). This interface integrates with LogChief and QAQCReporter 2.2, as the primary choice of data
capture and assay quality control software. DataShed is a system that captures data and metadata from various
sources, storing the information to preserve the value of the data and increasing the value through integration with
GIS systems. Security is set through both SQL and the DataShed configuration software. ABM has one Database
Administrator and an external contractor with expertise in programming and SQL database administration. Access to
the database by the geoscience staff is controlled through security groups where they can export and import data
with the interface providing full audit trails. Assay data is provided in MaxGEO format from the laboratories and
imported by the Database Administrator. The database assay management system records all metadata within the
MDS and this interface provides full audit trails to meet industry best practice.
Location of data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

Sample start and end points in trenches were recorded with a differential GPS with cm-level accuracy for X, Y, and Z
coordinates.

Drill hole collar locations were recorded with a differential GPS with cm-level accuracy for X, Y, and Z coordinates.

The projection used is GDA94, using MGA coordinates in Zone 52.

Down hole surveys that recorded dip and azimuth have been completed in all drill holes using a Reflex EZ-Trac
multi-shot camera tool, and in addition several holes over a depth of 36m have been surveyed using a Reflex Gyro
tool. There is a weak magnetic source in the area and accuracy of down hole surveys using magnetic compass are
used as a guideline only.
Data spacing and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Spacing of the trenches varied depending on the complexity of local geology. Sample length varied based on
lithology, with individual lithological units being sampled wherever practicable, and varied between 0.11cm and
7.68m.

Sample spacing is sufficient to provide geologic and grade continuity.

No sample compositing has been applied.

RC sampling was undertaken at 1m depth intervals.

First round drilling was undertaken at a nominal 25 x 12.5m spacing.

Down hole surveys that recorded dip and azimuth have been completed in all drill holes using a Reflex EZ-Trac
multi-shot camera tool, and in addition several holes over a depth of 36m have been surveyed using a Reflex Gyro
tool.
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this
is known, considering the deposit type.

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.

The structure is a south-plunging anticline, with approximately stratiform mineralisation. Drilling was to the east on
the west side of the anticline, and to the east on the west side, so all drilling is across structures and mineralisation,
eliminating any potential bias from drill direction, and gives unbiased sampling of possible structures to the extent
they are known. Based on best knowledge of geology and drill, azimuth / inclination, interval widths reported are
between 50% and 80% of true width and horizontal width.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.

Samples were transported from the field camp to the Granites mine gate by ABM personnel, where they were loaded
onto a Toll Express transport truck, and taken to a secure prep facility in Alice Springs using the laboratory's
standard chain of custody procedure.
Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

ABM has conducted several audits of ALS's Perth and Alice Springs lab facilities and found no faults.

QA/QC review of lab results is ongoing as results are finalized. ABM has also conducted annual reviews at the end
of every calendar year, and found no significant statistical outliers.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement and
land tenure status

Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties
such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national
park and environmental settings.

The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to
operate in the area.

The Old Pirate/Golden Hind gold deposit is located on Mining License 29822 in the Northern Territory. The tenement
is wholly owned by ABM, and subject to the 'Twin Bonanza Mining Agreement' agreement between ABM and the
Central Land Council (CLC). The Mineral Lease was granted in April 2014 for a term of 25 years.
Exploration done by
other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

The deposit was first recognised in outcropping veins in the late 1990s by North Flinders Mines. North Flinders,
Normandy NFM and Newmont Asia Pacific all conducted exploratory work on the project with the last recorded
drilling (prior to ABM) completed in 2005. Previous exploration work provided the foundation on which ABM based its
exploration strategy. In 2013, Pacific Road Capital conducted pre-investment due diligence including site visits.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

Old Pirate is a high-grade (coarse) gold-bearing quartz-vein system hosted by a sequence of intercalated sandstone
and shale horizons (turbidite sequence). Quartz veins ranging from a few centimetres to >6m in width host the gold
mineralisation. The mineralised quartz veins preferentially follow key shale horizons within the turbidite package as
well as fault zones. The key shale horizons are generally thicker shales, with some up to 25 metres thick. Golden
Hind is a vein of particularly high-grade gold discovered by ABM during 2012 approximately 600m to the south of
Old Pirate and contains gold in both quartz veins and shear zones.
Drill hole Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material drill holes:
easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o
elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
o
dip and azimuth of the hole
o
down hole length and interception depth
o
A tabulation of all of the drill holes completed in the current grade control program and a drill hole plan are attached
in Appendix 1.
hole length.
o

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does
not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.
Summaries of previous drilling are available in ASX releases. .
Data aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg
cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.

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.

ABM does not use weighted averaging techniques or grade truncations for reporting of exploration results.
ABM reports two significant interval values; 0.5g/t Au and 1.0g/t Au. The 0.5g/t Au is an average of all continuous
values greater than 0.5g/t Au, with no more than 5 continuous values below this cut-off. The 1.0g/t Au is an average
of all continuous values greater than 1.0g/t Au, with no more than 2 continuous values below this cut-off.
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').

Trench samples were taken off horizontal exposed faces of veins which were typically steeply-dipping (between 80
and 90 degrees). Widths of samples are considered to be close to the true width of mineralisation in these cases.

Drilling with RC cannot determine the exact geometry of the mineralisation with respect to drill angle. From surface
mapping and the limited diamond drilling, beds and mineralisation appear to be steeply dipping (between 60 and 80
degrees). Drill holes are angled as shallowly as possible (typically 60 degrees) to drill as close to perpendicular to
mineralisation as possible.

Intercepts reported are down hole length, which under the broad knowledge of the geology and steeply dipping veins
indicates a true or horizontal width of between 50 and 80% of the interval width.
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.

Maps and sections are included with releases of exploration results where appropriate.
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.

The Company reports all assays as they are finalized by the laboratory and compiled and when context can be
established.
Other substantive
exploration data

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.

The Company reports all other relevant exploration results.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step
out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and
future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.

Extensional targets remain at the Old Pirate and Golden Hind deposits and will be followed up with drilling after the
grade control program is complete.
