COBALT AND COPPER SYSTEM CONFIRMEDAT RUNNING CREEK, NT
- Much higher cobalt values reported from assays compared with pXRF field results (280%), including 5m @ 1604 ppm Co from 20m (18RAB123)
- Assays at Running Creek Prospect confirm copper from surface to the end of hole at 55 m, highlights;
- 55 m @ 0.78% Cu from 0 m (hole 18RAB102),
- including 33 m @ 1.08% Cu from 11 m,
- including 13 m @ 2.01% Cu from 11 m
- and 12 m @ 380 ppm Co from 22m
- 55 m @ 0.78% Cu from 0 m (hole 18RAB102),
- This drill hole ends in mineralisation with the last metre assaying 0.37% Cu and 450 ppm Co
- New induced polarisation (IP) survey at Running Creek highlights a chargeable target beneath mineralisation
- A drilling program is currently being planned to test the Running Creek IP anomaly at the earliest possible opportunity
- The Running Creek copper-cobalt system has a much larger footprint than the Stanton Cobalt Deposit
Running Creek Prospect
Northern Cobalt Limited (ASX: N27) is pleased to announce it has confirmed copper and cobalt mineralisation, with laboratory assays, identified in drilling and analysed by pXRF in an announcement to the market on the 9 October 2018. The best mineralisation was identified in drill hole 18RAB102 which contained a thick intersection of high-grade copper mineralisation with associated cobalt mineralisation.
"The identification of significant copper mineralisation in drilling, above an extensive IP chargeability target at Running Creek has opened up the potential for a significant new copper mineralised system only 1.8 km to the east of the Stanton Cobalt Deposit. We previously thought the system appeared to be dominated by copper mineralisation, but the new laboratory data has shown significant cobalt also occurs within the system. The project continues to show the extent of the mineralisation that runs through the Wollogorang Project.", Michael Schwarz (MD)

Mineralisation is associated with north-east trending structures at the Running Creek Prospect, located approximately 1.8 km east of the Stanton Cobalt Deposit (Figure 1). The Running Creek Prospect was originally identified by CRA in the 1990's as a group of small, individual copper and cobalt mineralised systems with limited extent. Reinterpretation of the main controls of mineralisation by Northern Cobalt along north-east trending structures has linked the individual mineral systems and led to the exciting copper intersection in drill hole 18RAB102 and cobalt intersections throughout the project area (Figure 2).
An IP survey, recently undertaken by Northern Cobalt across the Running Creek Prospect has identified a large chargeable feature beneath the currently identified mineralisation (Figure 3). Northern Cobalt interprets this feature to represent an extension of high-grade copper-cobalt mineralisation at depth. A drilling program is being planned to test this feature at the earliest possible opportunity. The company is considering using a helicopter supported diamond drill rig during the oncoming wet season since the camp and other infrastructure required are still in place from the current drill program.

Comparisons with the Stanton Cobalt Deposit
The Stanton Cobalt Deposit is a cobalt dominated mineral system with spatially associated copper mineralisation controlled by a north-east trending fault structure which is approximately 100m across at surface. At Running Creek, copper and cobalt mineralisation appears to also be associated with north-east trending structures interpreted from detailed magnetics flown in 2017 and from surficial linear features evident in satellite imagery. However, the Running Creek system is much larger and has the potential to be at least 2-3 times the size of Stanton at surface. Evidence from the IP survey suggests that the mineralisation also continues at depth, making the Running Creek Prospect a high priority for follow-up drilling in the near future.

Mr Michael Schwarz consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form in which it is appears. The information in this announcement is an accurate representation of the available data and studies of the material mining project. This report includes results that have previously been released under JORC 2012 by the Company as "Copper Discovery at the GregJo Prospect" on the 28th August 2018 and Copper Intersection Confirms New Model at Running Creek on the 9th October 2018. The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in this announcement and all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the Mineral Resource continue to apply and have not materially changed.
Historical results have been obtained from open file company report CR2002-0102 lodged with the Department of Primary Industries and Resources, NT. https://geoscience.nt.gov.au/gemis/ntgsjspui/handle/1/3

A regionaldolerite sill, the Settlement CreekDolerite, was emplaced synchronouswith effusion of the Gold CreekVolcanics. The WollogorangFormation and Settlement CreekDolerite do not outcrop on the Stantonprospect area, but are howeverintersected in a number of drill holeson the tenement.
