4M AT 6.6 G/T AU CONFIRMS POTENTIAL FOR SEVERAL NEW GOLD BEARING STRUCTURES AT LEEDS
HIGHLIGHTS
- Breakthrough intersection of 4m at 6.6 g/t Au from 88 m in RAG018 that targeted a newly identified SAM (Sub-Audio Magnetics) anomaly is interpreted as a possible high-grade structure that is open and undrilled for 500m to the north-northeast
- Other significant intersections confirm widespread gold over 800 m strike:
- o 12 m at 0.9 g/t Au from 128 m including 1 m at 7.2 g/t Au in RAG007;
- o 9 m at 0.8 g/t Au from 170 m including 1 m at 4.8 g/t Au in RAG010; and
- o 135 m at 0.25 g/t Au from 52 m including 8 m at 1.0 g/t Au in RAG003.
- The SAM geophysics and drilling results together indicate that the area is highly prospective for multiple gold-bearing structures across the project area
- A comprehensive soil geochemistry survey is currently being planned to assess the extensive new target trends identified from the new geophysics work
Ragnar Metals Limited ("Ragnar", or "the Company", ASX:RAG) is pleased to announce breakthrough assay and geophysics results from recent drilling and SAM geophysics programs at the Leeds Gold Project ("Leeds" or the "Project") located 20km south of the Goldfields St Ives gold mining camp in Kambalda.
Chairman Steve Formica comments: "The gold assay results, and widespread anomalies are very exciting for the Company and support Ragnar's commitment to consider further exploration at the company's highly prospective Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belt. We are excited for the potential of Leeds and look forward to the possibility of further exploration work on the open high-grade Au structure."
2021 Drilling and Geophysics Program
During the months of June and July this year Ragnar completed a total of 17 holes for 2,735 metres of RC drilling as well as 2 diamond holes for 406 metres at Leeds (Table 1). The primary aim was to focus on the central 800m strike trend at Leeds where historic drilling indicates widespread areas of near-surface supergene (oxidized) mineralisation with high grade mineralisation in places including 17m @ 5.7 g/t Au (see announcement dated 16 June 2021).
The two primary objectives of the drill program were:
- Utilise an RC rig to test at depth below known mineralisation where previous intersections indicate the mineralisation may dip variably to the west.

- Utilise a diamond rig to establish the orientation of important mineralised structures and veins in key areas
In addition, Ragnar engaged external consultants Resource Potentials to conduct a SAM (Sub Audio Magnetic) survey across Leeds, with the aim to identify additional gold-bearing structures across the Project. SAM surveys have been very successful in the past in identifying mineralised structures at Goldfields, St Ives Gold project. SAM geophysics methods are designed to test for deeper weathering into sulphide bearing structures (NB: details of the SAM survey are outlined in Section 2 of the JORC Table).

Significant previous drilling intersections are reported in acquisition announcement dated 21 January 2021.

Drilling and SAM Geophysics Results
The drilling results have confirmed the presence of multiple gold mineralised intervals hosted in felsic to intermediate volcaniclastic and intrusive rocks over a strike length of 800m. Gold mineralisation has been observed to occur as two primary types:
- Quartz-tourmaline-pyrite vein style mineralisation style that was best represented by new drilling intersections:
8 m at 3.5 g/t Au from 88 m including 4 m at 6.6 g/t Au in RAG018; 6 m at 2.0 g/t Au from 162 m including 1 m at 7.6 g/t Au in RAG007; 4 m at 2.8 g/t Au from 60 m including 1 m at 4.0 g/t Au in RAG009 (oxidised); and 9 m at 0.8 g/t Au from 170 m including 1 m at 4.8 g/t Au in RAG010.
- Wide zones of broadly disseminated pyrite +/- magnetite alteration and associated lower grade gold mineralisation. This mineralization style was best represented by the new drilling intersections: 135 m at 0.25 g/t Au from 52 m including 8 m at 1.0 g/t Au in RAG003; 132 m at 0.2 g/t Au from 48 m including 5 m at 1.0 g/t Au in RAG010; 30 m at 0.4 g/t Au from 140 m including 9 m at 0.9 g/t Au in RAG009; and 8 m at 0.8 g/t Au from 196 m (at end of hole) including 4 m at 1.1 g/t in RAG015
For the full set of detailed assay results refer to Table 2.
(NB: Drilling intersections are not likely to represent true width since the orientation of both mineralisation styles is yet to be determined).
The assay results from the drill program are encouraging and support Ragnar's view that Leeds is highly prospective for zones of widely disseminated low grade gold mineralisation as well as narrow high-grade gold mineralisation associated with quartz-tourmaline veins.
The results of the SAM geophysics survey are compelling, and several implications are suggested from the images:
- A. A new potential high-grade structure has been potentially discovered to the northeast of historic drilling at Leeds as indicated by the breakthrough intersection of 4 m at 6.6 g/t Au in RAG018 (Figure 1). The SAM geophysics images indicate this structure trends north-northeast and is open for 500m to the north and has not been drilled.
- B. Several strike kilometres of similar SAM anomaly trends have been identified from the work, which are all highly prospective for further gold mineralisation.
- C. The SAM geophysics indicates the area of previously identified gold mineralisation at Leeds, comprises a complex array of multiple north-northeast and north-trending structures (Figure 1).
It should be noted that diamond drilling indicates that many of the quartz-tourmaline-pyrite veins dip primarily steeply to the southeast and that the RC drilling has not been optimally orientated to intersect the high-grade structures.

Next Steps at Leeds
The following work programs are currently underway at Leeds:
-
- A resampling program is currently underway to submit one-metre composite samples for assay where the four metres composite spear sample assays are highly mineralised (e.g. in RAG018) or highly anomalous.
-
- A series of cross sections is currently being interpreted at Leeds to combine the new assay results and geology with historic data as well as the new SAM geophysics anomalies to better understand the likely trend of mineralisation on the Project at depth and along strike since the overall orientation of disseminated and vein-style mineralisation is still yet to be defined.
-
- An ultra-fine fraction multi-element soil geochemistry survey with very low detection limits is currently being planned. The aim of this survey is to assist in identifying elevated gold associated with the SAM anomaly trends identified on the Project that will ultimately lead to prioritising drill targets in the next drill campaign.
-
- Contemplate a new phase of drilling targeting several SAM anomalies with potential to host high grade gold mineralization.

| Geology | •Deposit type, geological setting and style ofmineralisation. | •Mineralisation identified at Leeds is interpreted to beassociated with an orogenic shear zone style ofmineralisation hosted in the Archean-aged volcaniclasticrocks of the Black Flag group. Mineralisation style isinterpreted to be similar to the Invincible Deposit within theSt Ives gold camp which is also hosted in the Black FlagGroup. Style of mineralisation has been recently identifiedas of two types: a) disseminated pyrite-magnetite-associategold mineralisation and b) quartz-tourmaline-pyrite veinrelated mineralisation. |

| Relationshipbetweenmineralisation widths andinterceptlengths | •These relationships are particularlyimportant in the reporting of ExplorationResults.•If the geometry of the mineralisation withrespect to the drill hole angle is known, itsnature should be reported.•If it is not known and only the down holelengths are reported, there should be aclear statement to this effect (eg 'down holelength, true width not known'). | •The true width of mineralisation has not yetbeen verified atLeeds. Additional drilling will be required to properly assessthe true thickness |

Gap were ableto use a higher frequency transmitter signal to recoverTFMMIP data as well the TFEM data. The survey lines wereplanned at 50m spacing with an infill area of 25m to coverlocalised high grade gold. During the survey a galvanic loopis used to inject current directly into the ground, whichenables SAM to deliver high-definition Total MagneticIntensity and MagnetometricConductivity (MMC) data sets.Various filters on the MMC and other data produced by thesurvey were processed by Resource Potentials and laterinterpreted by Ragnar. The MMC imagery is utilisedeffectively in the district to identify deeper weathering intosulphide-gold bearing faults. However, anomalies can alsobe caused by conductive non-gold bearing lithologies suchas black shales. |
