Korsheden nr 1 Project

FIGURE 2: KORSHEDEN MAGNETIC IMAGE, EM LINES AND EM TARGETS (DRAKE RESOURCES, ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 14 SEPTEMBER 2015)
Two EM survey lines were completed 150m apart across the southern extent of the Korsheden licence in 2015 and identified a conductor associated with a 1.4km long airborne magnetic anomaly. The conductor is interpreted to represent a gabbro-hosted nickel-copper sulphide target. The target shares many geological similarities with the Granmuren Ni-Cu Project, located 50km to the east.
The potential of the EM conductor has not been geochemically tested nor mapped in detail. A field program to determine the extent, tenor and geometry of the target involving both mapping and geochemistry is scheduled.
A scout drilling program will be undertaken to test the mineralisation potential of the target if the results warrant.
Tullsta nr 2 Project

FIGURE 3: TULLSTA NR 2 LICENCE AND MAGNETICS (VTEM_MAG_RTP)
Drake has drilled a single hole into the Tullsta nr 2 licence area in 2012 and returned at the end of hole 0.25% Nickel and 0.31% Copper in hole 12DDTS002 from a depth of 64.25 to 65.8m. A thorough review of the diamond drill hole is required to ascertain whether the target has been adequately tested. Petrology completed by Drake is expected to contribute to the understanding of the mineralisation.
Geophysical re-processing of the available VTEM and downhole-EM survey data will also be utilised to assist with this interpretation
Gaddebo nr 3 Project
Historical mining undertaken at the Gaddebo Project was for nickel, copper, cobalt, platinum and palladium. The Gaddebo nickel mine is located on the border of the Enkoping and Sala Municipalities and consists of two sets of workings: Bjorngruvan and the smaller Fogdegruvan.
The nickel, copper and palladium mineralisation occurs within ultramafic rocks. Other rocks present include granodiorite, granite and gabbro. 1,432t of nickel ore was produced from the workings between 1870-71. In 1911 the mine was dewatered and surveyed to show a depth of 25m, with 13.5m of lateral development. Subsequent trial mining in 1918 reported an average grade of 0.8% copper and 0.3% nickel (BERGSKRAFT BERGSLAGEN AB, 2014). Further investigation of the prospect is justified by the re-sampling of two diamond drill holes by Dannemora Mineral AB, which identified nickel, copper, gold, platinum and palladium mineralisation (DANNEMORA MINERAL AB, 2008).
Significant Intervals from this drilling includes:
- BH nr 1: 16.42m at 0.61% Cu, 0.15% Ni, 3.28% S and 0.22 ppm Pt from 18.09m
- o Including 4.32m at 0.87% Cu, 0.24% Ni, 5% S, 0.25ppm Pt from 23.6m
- BH nr 2: 4.67m at 0.42% Cu, 0.24% Ni, 3.48% S, 0.23 ppm Pt and 0.22ppm Pd from 29.52m o Including 0.92m at 0.42% Cu, 0.95% Ni, 10% S, 0.43 ppm Pt and 0.58 ppm Pd from 29.52m

|---|---|---|
| Location of datapoints | Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locatedrill holes (collar and down-hole surveys),trenches, mine workings and other locationsused in Mineral Resource estimation. | Tullsta nr 2:Drill collar locations were located using a handheldGPS.Gaddebo nr 3:Drill collar coordinates were digitised from historicalmaps and cross referenced to the reportedlocations in order to validate their respectivelocations. |
| Specification of the grid system used. | Tullsta nr 2 & Gaddebo nr 3:All coordinates reported are in Swedish RT90coordinate system. | |
| Quality and adequacy of topographic control. | Tullsta nr 2 & Gaddebo nr 3:A digital terrain model was generated availableairborne magnetic survey dtm which is consideredsufficient for early stage exploration. | |
| Data spacing anddistribution | Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. | Tullsta nr 2 & Gaddebo nr 3:Drill holes for both Projects were located to testspecific targets and as such are not on a regulargrid. |
| Whether the data spacing and distribution issufficient to establish the degree of geologicaland grade continuity appropriate for the MineralResourceandOreReserveestimationprocedure(s) and classifications applied. | Tullsta nr 2 & Gaddebo nr 3:The drilling completed to date is on an irregular gridand is of a reconnaissance nature. The drillingcompleted is insufficient to delineate a mineralresource. | |
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. | Tullsta nr 2 & Gaddebo nr 3:Compositing of intervals has been completed usinglength weighted averages of significant intervals.A full listing of the intervals with no compositingutilised is included in the appendices. | |
| Orientationofdata in relation togeologicalstructure | Whether the orientation of sampling achievesunbiased sampling of possible structures and theextent to which this is known, considering thedeposit type. | Tullsta nr 2 & Gaddebo nr 3:The orientation of mineralisation for both projects ispresently poorly understood and therefore it isunknownwhethertheorientationachievesunbiased sampling. |
| If the relationship between the drilling orientationand the orientation of key mineralised structuresis considered to have introduced a sampling bias,this should be assessed and reported if material. | Tullsta nr 2 & Gaddebo nr 3:Sampling bias arising from the orientation ofmineralisation is discussed above. | |
| Sample security | The measures taken to ensure sample security. | Tullsta nr 2 & Gaddebo nr 3:No documentation exists regarding the chain ofcustody of samples. |
| Audits or reviews | The results of any audits or reviews of samplingtechniques and data. | Tullsta nr 2 & Gaddebo nr 3:No audits have been completed to date. |

|---|---|---|
| Geology | Deposittype,geologicalsettingandstyleofmineralisation. | Drake is primarily targeting ultramaficmafic intrusive complex related Ni-CoPGE mineralisation across Sweden. |
| Drill holeInformation | Asummaryofallinformationmaterialtotheunderstanding of the exploration results including atabulation of the following information for all Material drillholes:easting and northing of the drill hole collarelevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation abovesea level in metres) of the drill hole collardip and azimuth of the hole down hole length andinterceptiondepth hole length. | All drill hole information is tabulated inAppendix 1 & 2. |
| If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basisthat the information is not Material and this exclusion doesnot detract from the understanding of the report, theCompetent Person should clearly explain why this is thecase. | All available information has beenreleased including those with nosignificant results. | |
| Data aggregationmethods | In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averagingtechniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations(eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usuallyMaterial and should be stated. | Cut off values of 0.1% Cu and/or ≥0.1% Niapplied with maximum 1m internal dilutionon composited intervals for Tullsta nr 2 andno cut off grades applied to Gaddebo nr 3. |
| Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths ofhigh grade results and longer lengths of low grade results,the procedure used for such aggregation should be statedand some typical examples of such aggregations shouldbe shown in detail. | Aggregate sample assays are calculatedusing a length weighted average |
| Theassumptions used for any reporting of metalequivalent values should be clearly stated. | No metal equivalents are reported. | |
|---|---|---|
| Relationshipbetweenmineralisationwidths andintercept lengths | These relationships are particularly important in thereporting of Exploration Results. | True widths of the mineralisation have notbeen calculated or this report, as such allintersections reported are down holethicknesses |
| If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to thedrill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. | The geometry of mineralisation is not yetunderstood. | |
| If it is not known and only the down hole lengths arereported, there should be a clear statement to this effect(eg 'down hole length, true width not known'). | All intervals reported are down holelengths not true widths. | |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) andtabulations of intercepts should be included for anysignificant discovery being reported These shouldinclude, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collarlocations and appropriate sectional views. | Maps and plans have been included inannouncement. |
| Balancedreporting | Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Resultsis not practicable, representative reporting of both low andhigh grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoidmisleading reporting of Exploration Results. | All results including those with nosignificant results have been reported. |
| Othersubstantiveexploration data | Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, shouldbe reported including (but not limited to): geologicalobservations; geophysical survey results; geochemicalsurvey results; bulk samples – size and method oftreatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density,groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics;potential deleterious or contaminating substances. | No other exploration data is consideredmeaningful and material to thisannouncement |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests forlateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scalestep-out drilling). | Further ground reconnaissance samplingand mapping is proposed to be completed.A summary of required work programs isincluded in the release. |
| Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possibleextensions, including the main geological interpretationsand future drilling areas, provided this information is notcommercially sensitive. | Further activities will be planned followingthe completion of the activities mentionedin the release. |
