Exploration
Trundle EL8222
(NSW, Clancy 100%; High Power Exploration Inc, earning 51% and funding 100%)
The Trundle project consists of a single exploration licence EL8222 located 25km west of the Northparkes copper-gold mine. The project covers an arc fragment that was rifted to the west off the Northparkes complex. There is extensive evidence of porphyry and skarn-style copper-gold mineralisation similar to the Cadia Valley and Northparkes. Several prospects at Trundle have strong similarities to the porphyry deposits at Northparkes, with characteristic magnetic and gravity anomalies and coincident anomalous copper and gold geochemistry. There is significant potential for porphyry copper-gold discovery at depth and numerous copper-gold anomalies on the Trundle licence that remain under-explored.
During the quarter, a new joint venture to explore the project with High Power Exploration Inc (HPX) was formed1 . HPX will fund $1,000,000 on exploration over 12 months to earn an initial 51% of the Trundle project with a minimum spend of $750,000. HPX may then sole fund an additional $4,000,000 over 3 years to earn an additional 29% of the Trundle project, for a total of 80%.
A Typhoon IP survey has commenced and will cover approximately 50km2 of a 12.5km long prospective corridor of porphyry and skarn prospects extending from Botfield in the south to Pig Pen in the north (Figure 1).
1 See ASX release dated 5 May 2015 for further details
Previous drilling at Trundle has established that low-grade porphyry copper-gold systems are associated with coarse grained monzonite porphyry intrusions hosted by andesitic fragmental and flow units at Mordialloc and Bloomfields. Numerous skarn-style copper-gold occurrences are also present at Trundle Park, Willcoxs, Dunns, Waynes and Mordialloc (Figure 1). At Trundle Park, monzonite with quartz-calcite-molybdenitepyrite-chalcopyrite veins at depth, indicate a transition from shallow skarn mineralisation to deeper porphyry mineralisation.
The tenor and style of the skarn copper-gold intercepts are consistent with the outer zone of a gold-rich Ordovician porphyry system. At Trundle Park these intercepts are associated with magnetite skarn, similar in style to the Big Cadia skarn that is peripheral to the world-class Cadia porphyry copper-gold deposits near Orange in NSW. Significant previous skarn intercepts at Trundle Park include2 :
- 60m @ 0.54g/t Au from 1m
- 39m @ 0.55g/t Au, 0.14% Cu from surface
- 35m @ 0.55g/t Au, 0.25% Cu from 12m
- 51m @ 0.58g/t Au, 0.14% Cu from 33m
- 58m @ 0.44g/t Au, 0.17% Cu from 22m
Higher grade vein-style mineralisation has also been intersected at Trundle Park; e.g. 2m @ 20g/t Au, 6.97% Cu and 81g/t Ag from 64m. At Cadia, the skarn mineralisation is up to 1.5km away from the causative porphyry intrusion; however the skarn mineral assemblages at Trundle suggest the causative intrusions are proximal rather than distal.
The source of the skarn mineralisation along the 12.5km long prospective corridor is likely to be monzonite porphyry intrusions at depth, similar to the Northparkes porphyry mine, which is located 25km to the east of Trundle.
Limited previous drilling at Trundle Park, Bloomfields and Mordialloc has tested to depths of up to 400m vertical, however most previous drill holes are less than 50m deep. Therefore, significant scope remains for porphyry discovery at depth along the prospective corridor.
The Typhoon IP survey will cover the prospective corridor and will detect chargeable bodies down to a vertical depth of up to 1500m. This will assist with defining the deeper source of the copper-gold anomalism and vectoring to the richer potassic core of the porphyry system.
The Typhoon IP survey is expected to be completed in August, followed by data processing, inversion modelling and drill target selection in September. Drilling of targets is likely to commence in the December 2015 quarter.

Condobolin EL7748
(NSW, Clancy 100%; Ramelius Resources Ltd, earning 80% and funding 100%)
Condobolin EL7399 is located in the central west of NSW immediately north of the Condobolin township. Condobolin has a substantial mining history, predominantly as a base metals field (lead, zinc and copper), as well as gold. The mineralisation is hosted in epithermal-style quartz veins within the metasedimentary units of the Ordovician Girilambone Group, associated with pyrite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, arsenopryrite and free gold.

During the quarter, a new joint venture to explore the project with Ramelius Resources Ltd (Ramelius) was formed3 . Ramelius has the right to earn 80% by funding A$2 million for exploration over four years. If Ramelius withdraws before earning 80%, the project ownership reverts 100% to Clancy. After the farm-in
3 See ASX release dated 30 April for further details
phase is completed, Clancy will be carried to a decision to mine, at which point Clancy will have the right to contribute its 20% share of costs post decision to mine, or dilute according to standard industry provisions.
A 3D IP survey to extend the previous IP survey coverage at Meritilga to the north commenced during the quarter and was completed in early July 2015. The aim of the survey is to further define basement structures associated with the numerous gold and base metal occurrences in the Condobolin Mineral Field. Processing and interpretation of the IP survey data is currently in progress.
Cundumbul EL6661 and EL7399
(NSW, Clancy 100%; Mitsubishi earning 49% and funding 100%)
The Cundumbul project covers 204.9km2 of prospective arc units in the Molong Volcanic Belt between Molong and Wellington. There are numerous intrusive complexes at Cundumbul that have anomalous copper and/or gold associated with them.
Assay results were received for the two diamond holes completed at the Bell Prospect in the previous quarter. The molybdenum-bearing, silica-sericite-pyrite (phyllic) alteration observed in previous RC drilling4 at the Bell prospect was not intersected. North-south oriented strike-slip movement of the Bell Shear Zone is inferred, transposing the continuation of the mineralisation at depth. No significant copper or molybdenum results were returned.
Corporate
As at 30 June 2015, the company held cash and restricted cash of $1,441,434.
The Company completed the placement of shares to High Power Exploration Inc. (HPX) during the quarter. HPX subscribed for 50,000,000 Clancy shares at 1.5 cents ($0.015) each to raise $750,000. A total of $525,000 will be expended by the Company and credited to the Trundle joint venture. The remaining $225,000 will be available to fund Clancy's working capital.

Appendix I – JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 [email protected]
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data: Cundumbul Project
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Samplingtechniques | Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specificspecialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the mineralsunder investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRFinstruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broadmeaning of sampling. | Diamond drilling was used to obtain core samples of nominally 1m. Coresamples are cut in half, and dried. Samples are transported to ALS ChemexOrange for preparation and assay. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and theappropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. | Assay standards are inserted at least every 40 samples. Laboratory standardsand blanks are analyzed with sample batches as a secondary performancecheck. One standard is included with every fire assay batch. | |
| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the PublicReport. | Diamond and drilling wasused to obtain core samples of nominally 1m.Samples are then crushed to 70% nominal -6mm and pulverized where up to85% is less than 75 microns. Samples are then homogenized by light pulverizing.Quality control testing on pulverizing efficiency is conducted on random samples.Gold was analyzed using a 50g sample via fire assay with AAS finish, (MethodAu –AA22) with a detection level of 0.002ppm. Samples returning >1 g/t areanalyzed by method Au-AA26 with a detection level of 0.01ppm. A further 48elements are analyzed from a 0.25g charge which is dissolved using a near totalfour acid digest with AAS and ICPMS finish (Method ME-MS61). Detection limitsfor this method can be found at: http://www.alsglobal.com/en/OurServices/Minerals/Geochemistry/Downloads. Samples returning >1% Cu, Pb, Znand > 100g/t Ag are analyzed by method Aqua Regia Digestion with ICP-AESfinish (ME-OG46). | |
| In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relativelysimple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples fromwhich 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay'). In othercases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse goldthat has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisationtypes (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. | Diamond drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which the core was,where possible, split along the orientation line to obtain an approximately 3 kgsample.The samples were pulverized to produce a 50g charge for fire assay and 0.25gcharge for acidic digestion. | |
| Drillingtechniques | Drill type (egcore, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depthof diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and ifso, by what method, etc). | Diamond drilling: Surface holes generally commence as HQ core untilconsolidated rock is reached. The HQ rods are left as casing thence NQ coring isemployed. |
| Drill samplerecovery | Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and resultsassessed. | Core recoveries are recorded for every 3 m sample. |
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative natureof the samples. | Tripletube diamond drilling ensures good recovery from varying groundconditions. | |
| Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whethersample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarsematerial. | No analysis of recovery versus grade has been undertaken. | |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnicallylogged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation,mining studies and metallurgical studies. | Systematic geological logging is undertaken. Data collected includes:Nature and extent of lithologiesRelationship between lithologiesAmount and mode of occurrence of ore mineralsLocation, extent and nature of structures such as bedding, cleavage,veins, faults etc. Structural data are recorded for orientated coreMagnetic susceptibility recorded at 0.33m intervals in core and 1mintervals in chipsNo geotechnical logging is undertaken as all prospects are consideredexploration targets. |
| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,channel, etc) photography. | Logging was qualitative by the on-site geologist and re-checked at a later time. | |
| The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. | All core and chips are geologically logged. | |
| Sub-samplingtechniques and | If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. | Core is sawn in half lengthways and one side is sent for analysis. |
| samplepreparation | If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampledwet or dry. | Not applicable |
| For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the samplepreparation technique. | Samples are dried crushed and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns, thenhomogenized. This is considered appropriate to blend the material prior tolaboratory analysis. | |
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximiserepresentivity of samples. | The use of Certified Standard Reference Materials andblanks are inserted atleast every 40 samples to assess the accuracy and reproducibility of results. Theresults of the standards are to be within ±10% variance from known certifiedresult. ALS conducts internal check samples. These are checked by Clancyemployees. Assay grades are compared with mineralogy logging estimates. | |
| Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situmaterial collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-halfsampling. | No field duplicates are taken for coresamples. Core samples are cut in half fornominal down hole intervals of 1m. This is considered representative of the insitu material. The sample is crushed and pulverised to 85% passing 75 micronsand then homogenized. This is considered appropriate for the sample material. | |
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material beingsampled. | Sample sizes are considered appropriate to the grain sizes of the mineralsencountered. | |

Standardswere purchased in foil lined packets of between 60g and 100g. The standardnames on the foil packages were erased before going into the pre numberedsample bag and the standards are submitted to the lab blind. | |
| Verification ofsampling andassaying | The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternativecompany personnel. | The raw assay data forming significant intercepts are examined by at least twocompany personnel. Intercepts are calculated via a database query method. |
| The use of twinned holes. | Twinned holes have not been used since this work is intended to test areas notpreviously explored. | |
| Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, datastorage (physical and electronic) protocols. | Drill hole data including meta data, orientation methods, lithological, mineral,structural, survey, sampling and magnetic susceptibility is collected and entereddirectly into an excel spread sheet using drop down codes. When complete thespreadsheet is emailed to the geological database administrator, the data isvalidated and uploaded into an SQL database.Assay data is provided byALS via electronic spreadsheet. The data is validatedusing the results received from the known certified reference material. Using anSQL based query the assay data is merged into the database. Hard copies of theassay certificates are stored with drill hole data. | |
| Discuss any adjustment to assay data. | Assay data is not adjusted. | |
| Location ofdata points | Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-holesurveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in MineralResourceestimation. | Drill hole collars are located using hand held GPS to ±5m. |
| Specification of the grid system used. | All coordinates are based on Map Grid Australia 1994 zone 55. | |
| Quality and adequacy of topographic control. | Topographic control is maintained by use of State government datasets. | |
| Data spacingand distribution | Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. | Drill results are generally widely spaced in the nature of greenfields exploration. |
| Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree ofgeological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and OreReserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. | The mineralized areas are yet to demonstrate sufficient grade orcontinuity tosupport the definition of a Mineral Resource and the classifications applied underthe 2012 JORC code. | |
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. | Sample compositing is not applied. |
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Orientation ofdata in relationto geological | Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possiblestructures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. | Where known, drilling is generally orientated to cross the geological trends athigh anglesto strike. Where possible, the use of orientated core allows estimatesof the true width and orientation of the mineralisation to be made. |
| structure | If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of keymineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, thisshould be assessed and reported if material. | No sample bias due to drilling orientation is known. |
| Samplesecurity | The measures taken to ensure sample security. | Chain of custody is managed by Clancy. Samples are placed in tied calico bagswith sample numbers that provide no information on the location of the sample.Samples are delivered by Clancy personnel to the assay lab. |
| Audits orreviews | The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniquesand data. | No audits or reviews have been conducted at this stage. |
Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineraltenement andland tenurestatus | Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements ormaterial issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overridingroyalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park andenvironmental settings.The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any knownimpediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. | EL6661 Cundumbul, 35km north of Molong NSW. Clancy 100%, with jointventure arrangement whereby Mitsubishi Materials Corporation (MMC) is earningin for a 49%stake.A $10,000 security is held at the time of reporting. |
| Explorationdone by otherparties | Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. | At the Bell prospect, no previous work has been carried out prior to Clancy'swork. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. | The targets are Ordovician porphyry Cu-Au deposits in the Macquarie Arc andpost-Ordovician gold-silver orogenic and molybdenum-porphyry deposits. |
| Drill holeInformation | A summary of all information material to the understanding of the explorationresults including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drillholes:easting and northing of the drill hole collarelevation or RL (Reduced Level –elevation above sea level inmetres) of the drill hole collardip and azimuth of the holedown hole length and interception depthhole length. | Refer to March 2015 quarterly activities report. |
| If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information isnot Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of thereport, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. | All holes are reported. |

| Dataaggregationmethods | In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averagingtechniques, maximumand/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off gradesare usually Material and should be stated. | No significant results reported. |
| Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results andlonger lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregationshould be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should beshown in detail. | Not applicable. | |
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should beclearly stated. | Not applicable. | |
| Relationshipbetweenmineralisationwidths andinterceptlengths | These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of ExplorationResults. | Not applicable. |
| If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known,its nature should be reported. | Not applicable. | |
| If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be aclear statement to this effect (eg'down hole length, true width not known'). | Not applicable. | |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts shouldbe included for any significant discovery being reported These should include,but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriatesectional views. | Not applicable. |
| Balancedreporting | Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable,representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should bepracticed to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. | No significant results reported. |
| Othersubstantiveexplorationdata | 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 rockcharacteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. | No significant results reported. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions ordepth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). | The joint venture partners are considering if further drilling is required at the BellProspect. |
| Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the maingeological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is notcommercially sensitive. | Not applicable. |
