1 ASX release 20 March 2012

NT – North Arunta Acquisition from ABM

  • ABM's North Arunta Project is located in the Proterozoic Tanami-Arunta Orogen in the NT:
    • Over 11.5Moz of gold has been discovered since 1985
    • Highly prospective for Au, Cu and Ni ± Sn, W, Sb
    • Shares many similarities with the Albany-Fraser Orogen in WA, a current exploration hotspot
  • The North Arunta Project is prospective for deposit styles which may have been overlooked in the past:
    • Intrusion Related Gold Systems (IRGS) Au-Sn-Sb-W and base metals
    • Magmatic nickel deposits
  • Modern techniques and technologies, a new exploration model and a fresh approach could provide the key to discovery:
    • Previous drilling has intersected medium- to high-grade, but low-tonnage gold mineralisation at Kroda and Sabre in the Barrow Creek project
    • It is possible that the current prospects are peripheral or secondary to a larger scale mineral system that remains undiscovered
  • CLY exercised an option to acquire the project from ABM on 31 January 2014:
    • Shareholder approval to be sought at the AGM on 7 May 2014
    • Completion subject to financing
    • Fieldwork expected to commence in June 2014

Proterozoic Orogenic Belts

  • Form on margins of Archean cratons during major tectonic events
  • Host significant mineral resources globally, particularly gold, copper and nickel
  • Key Proterozoic Orogenic belts in Australia:
    • Albany-Fraser, Tanami-Arunta, Paterson and Delamerian
  • New insights into the potential of these belts has been driven by discovery, although in general, they remain very poorly explored
  • Recent discoveries in Proterozoic Orogenic belts in Australia:
    • Albany Fraser: Tropicana gold (2005), Nova nickel (2012)
    • Tanami-Arunta: numerous gold mines The Granites (1985), Callie (1991), Dead Bullock Soak (1992), Groundrush (1999), Coyote (2002), Oberon (2009), Twin Bonanza (2010)
  • Clancy believes that the Arunta region has the potential to become Australia's next exploration hotspot

Regional setting and exploration potential

  • The North Arunta project is located in the Proterozoic Tanami-Arunta Orogen over 11.5Moz of gold has been discovered in the Tanami since 1985
  • Tanami rocks associated with the Stafford Event unequivocally extend into the North Arunta Project area
  • The Tanami-Arunta Orogen is highly prospective for Au, Cu & Ni, and is similar in scale and prospectivity to the Albany-Fraser Orogen, the current exploration hotspot
  • The North Arunta Project has many characteristics that suggest it is prospective for Intrusion Related Gold Systems (IRGS), which may have been overlooked in the past
  • It also has potential for magmatic nickel deposits; e.g. Nova-style in terms of host rocks, tectonic setting and geophysical anomalies (gravity)

Previous exploration

  • Early exploration relied heavily on vacuum drilling and BLEG sampling both of these techniques have demonstrated flaws suggesting that many areas may have been incorrectly downgraded
  • A relatively new technique, ionic leach geochemistry (Deep Penetrating Geochemistry DPG) was successfully deployed by ABM with a number of anomalies defined – however the DPG program was suspended in 2013 when trial mining commenced at Old Pirate
  • The DPG anomalies defined to date remain to be followed up; e.g. Tulsa and further DPG programs were planned but not completed
  • DPG combined with other technologies, a new exploration model and approach could provide the key to discovery
  • Previous drilling has intersected medium- to high-grade, but low-tonnage gold mineralisation at Kroda and Sabre:
    • e.g. Kroda 57m @ 3.83g/t Au, including 29m @ 6.83g/t Au
    • It is possible that the current prospects are peripheral or secondary to a larger scale mineral system that remains undiscovered; e.g. IRGS

Kroda 3 leapfrog model

Over 300m strike length of Au anomalism with significant breaks in strike continuity due to lack of drilling on some sections.
