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
  • 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.

Geology •Deposit type, geological setting andstyle of mineralisation. •The local geology is dominated by theGold Creek Volcanics of the TawallahGroup. This formation is a series ofbasaltic lavas and shallow intrusives,interlayered with thin oxidisedsandstone, carbonate and siltstoneunits. It is conformably underlain byreduced sedimentary facies of theWollogorang Formation, whichincludes dolostones, sandstones andcarbonaceous shales. 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. Within the district,the Gold Creek Volcanics aredisconformably overlain by a felsicvolcanic package that includes arhyolitic rheoignimbrite sheet(Hobblechain Rhyolite), proximalepiclastics (Pungalina Member) anddistal reworked clastics (EchoSandstone).•Mineralisation is interpreted to belargely controlled by stratigraphy

within the flat lying interbeddedsediment and volcanic rock units ofthe Proterozoic Gold Creek Volcanics.Brecciation and faulting has a strongcontrol on the intensity and limits ofmineralisation. In fresh rock thecobalt-nickel is located indisseminated siegenite (cobalt-nickelsulphide). Chalcocite and pyrite arealso noted. Weathering to a variabledepth of approximately 30m hasresulted in cobalt oxide secondarymineralisation in a large proportion ofthe deposit.

Relationshipbetweenmineralisation widths andinterceptlengths •These relationships are particularlyimportant in the reporting ofExploration Results.•If the geometry of the mineralisationwith respect to the drill hole angle isknown, its nature should be reported.•If it is not known and only the downhole lengths are reported, there shouldbe a clear statement to this effect (eg'down hole length, true width notknown'). •Any observations made are down holelength and true width is not known.
Diagrams •Appropriate maps and sections (withscales) and tabulations of interceptsshould be included for any significantdiscovery being reported These shouldinclude, but not be limited to a planview of drill hole collar locations andappropriate sectional views. •See attached release.
Balancedreporting •Where comprehensive reporting of allExploration Results is not practicable,representative reporting of both lowand high grades and/or widths shouldbe practiced to avoid misleadingreporting of Exploration Results. •All significant drill intersections havebeen reported and it has been notedwhen no significant intersection hasbeen encountered.
Othersubstantiveexplorationdata •Other exploration data, if meaningfuland material, should be reportedincluding (but not limited to): geologicalobservations; geophysical surveyresults; geochemical survey results;bulk samples –size and method oftreatment; metallurgical test results;bulk density, groundwater,geotechnical and rock characteristics;potential deleterious or contaminatingsubstances. •No other relevant data to report.
Further work •The nature and scale of plannedfurther work (eg tests for lateralextensions or depth extensions orlarge-scale step-out drilling).•Diagrams clearly highlighting the areasof possible extensions, including themain geological interpretations andfuture drilling areas, provided thisinformation is not commerciallysensitive. •Planned further work detailed in this,and previous releases, and in figures.This work includes comprises drilltesting further drill targets and followup drilling of mineralised prospects.
