VTEM Survey Identifies Multiple Conductors - Wollogorang Project

==> picture [518 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

  • Results from a recent VTEM geophysics survey has identified 40 conductors highlighting the copper potential of the Wollogorang Project, NT .

  • VTEM surveys can detect sub-surface conductive bodies to 400m such as massive base metal sulfides directly and other potential trap sites for base metals.

  • The underexplored Wollogorang Project is located in the highly prospective McArthur Basin, with surrounding ground held by Teck, BHP, Rio Tinto, Redbank and South 32.

  • Prioritisation of drilling targets with modelling of VTEM results is underway.

  • Drilling is planned for late August on VTEM targets and the Gregjo Prospect to allow for extra track preparation and permitting, subject to rig availability.

==> picture [518 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

The VTEM survey has identified 40 conductors , including multiple late time conductors, which have been ranked on the VTEM geophysics characteristics on a scale from 1 (best) to 3 (See Figure 1). Combining the VTEM results (conductors) with the litho-structural interpretation will allow RML to rank the geophysical results against geological context and logistical considerations and this work is ongoing. Ground verification of all the VTEM targets confirms no interference from human factors. It is highly likely further drill targets will be refined from this ongoing interpretation of the VTEM results and the Company intends to update investors once this has been completed over coming weeks.

Previous exploration has focussed on discrete breccia pipes, which demonstrated the presence of copper and cobalt in the system. However, these breccia pipes were not of sufficient scale to warrant further attention on RML’s tenements. Resolution’s new approach is to use modern geophysics to identify large scale sediment-hosted stratiform copper mineralisation within two McArthur Basin Formations (Wollogorang Formation & Gold Creek Volcanics Formation). Both Formations contain reductive units, which are prospective trap sites for sediment-hosted stratiform copper mineralisation .

Managing Director – Duncan Chessell commented:

Resolution’s geology team has taken a fresh approach to the project using a wide-spaced, powerful VTEM Max geophysical survey, complemented with a new litho-structural interpretation. It’s paid off with these better-than-expected VTEM geophysics results. The conductors identified could indicate the presence of massive sulfides or the presence of rocks that could be excellent trap sites for base metal mineralisation. Using the new litho-structural interpretation we also aim to identify additional areas prospective for disseminated sulfides, which we can deploy ground IP geophysics to chase. The project is now wide open for copper discoveries. What has us most excited now, is that the VTEM has generated dozens of untested new targets. This has created an opportunity for Resolution to undertake a first pass assessment on the potential for the Wollogorang Project to host sediment-hosted stratiform copper mineralisation associated with VTEM derived anomalies.

Exploration Targeting – Wollogorang Project

During 2021 Resolution completed a VTEM Max geophysical survey over the eastern portion of the Wollogorang Project and concurrently commissioned a specialist litho-structural interpretation of the project area and surrounding district within the McArthur Basin.

VTEM Max (Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic) induces a “primary” magnetic field into the earth, which produces eddy currents in any conductors this field passes through. These eddy currents produce a time-varying secondary magnetic field that the VTEM Max system can measure. The stronger the conductor, the slower the secondary-field decays, so a “late-time” response is a favourable outcome. VTEM can directly detect massive sulfides and/or identify conductive formations and thus could also detect reductant carbonaceous or pyritic shales in certain conditions, which are an excellent trap site for copper or base metal mineralisation.

Litho-structural interpretations see Figure 4, (GeoMagik consulting) are primarily based on specialist magnetic data interpretation, which integrate remotely sensed and other geophysical datasets into a broader geological framework. The structural interpretation separates out major from minor, first order from second order structures and provides insights into the relative timing of each phase of deformation (i.e. organised structural domains). The lithologies are defined based on existing mapping, which has been extrapolated based on variations in the magnetic signatures associated with those lithologies (i.e. geophysical domains constrained to the known geology).

Combining the VTEM results (conductors) with the litho-structural interpretation will allow the Company to rank the geophysical results against geological context and logistical considerations and this work is ongoing. The Wollogorang Formation is an interbedded sedimentary-volcanic unit and is overlain by Gold Creek Volcanics through Resolution’s tenements. Where the Gold Creek Volcanics are present it can be assumed the Wollogorang Formation lies beneath at relatively shallow depths (50-200m). Reductive units within the Wollogorang Formation and the Gold Creek Volcanics are considered a prime host stratigraphy given they contain reductive units with demonstrated significant copper anomalism. Conductors within the Gold Creek Volcanics, close to the intersection of coeval and early structures are considered high priority, given the increased potential for cross-stratal fluid flow and potential copper accumulation during basin extension. Furthermore, proximity to the Packsaddle microgranite and other interpreted buried intrusive rocks may also have influenced hydrothermal fluid flow along basin structures or localised hydrothermal cells.

Disseminated sulfide mineral systems such as the existing Gregjo Prospect can be more readily detected using IP (Induced Polarisation) geophysical surveys and are not typically detected using VTEM as it requires “connected” conductive material. Previous RAB drilling at the Gregjo Prospect intersected near surface copper oxide mineralisation with the best intersection (hole 18RAB013) of 7m @ 1.23% Cu including 1m @ 4.24% Cu from 5m. (previously reported ASX 22/1/2019). The new lithostructural interpretation of the area will be used to identify other zones prospective for disseminated sulfide which can be targeted using ground IP geophysical techniques.

Further target identification is ongoing.

About Sediment-Hosted Stratiform Copper Deposits

Sediment-hosted copper deposits (SSC) are desirable due to the large tonnage and high ore grades relative to VMS or Porphyry systems, respectively. The key geological components required to form a sediment hosted copper deposit include:

  • (1) source rocks such as volcanic or continental red bed sequences – basin fluids strip copper and other metals from the source rocks

  • (2) evaporites such as gypsum/anhydrite – allow the hydrothermal fluid to carry the copper

  • (3) reduced sedimentary horizon trap sites such as pyrite rich units, units containing mobile hydrocarbons or degraded organic material – trigger copper precipitation along the redox boundary (i.e. transition from an oxidised to a reduced horizon)

  • (4) fault intersections – not essential but can enhance fluid flow

  • (5) intrusive heat source – not essential but can trigger maturation of hydrocarbons and drive basin fluid convention (hydrothermal influence).

Specifically, RML is targeting laterally extensive, basin hosted, stratiform copper mineralisation analogous to the Kupferschiefer copper deposits in Poland/Germany (Figure 5). Prospectivity for this style of copper mineralisation is found at relatively shallow depths (50-200m) on the Wollogorang Project .

==> picture [453 x 174] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5 Geological cross section through the Fore-Sudetic copper district, Poland host to Kupferschiefer stratiform copper deposit in Poland/Germany (Bartlett et al, 2012).

Criteria present on the Wollogorang Project (derived from Rawlings 2002 and Resolution’s interpretation)

  • (1) Earlier basin fill - various volcanic units + clastic rocks

  • (2) Upper Wollogorang Formation contains some units with evaporites

  • (3) Gold Creek Volcanics + Wollogorang Fm reductants (includes maturated hydrocarbons?)

  • (4) Intersections of NE extension faults (syn Gold Creek Volcanics) and early NS extension faults

  • (5) Heat source to enhance / trigger maturation (Packsaddle Microgranite + other interpreted undifferentiated intrusive emplaced coeval with the Gold Creek Volcanics).

The context of the project is that the Wollogorang Formation and Gold Creek Volcanics form part of the Tawallah Group, which makes up part of the eastern McArthur Basin sedimentary succession. The McArthur Basin is a 12km thick, unmetamorphosed sedimentary succession, which is host to large-scale sediment hosted base metal deposits including the HYC stratiform Zn-Pb-Ag. Carbonaceous shales within the Wollogorang Formation (Unit 3) and Upper “Target Unit” of the Gold Creek Volcanics are reductive, containing significant copper anomalism. These potential host units are Resolution’s target horizons in which stratiform copper mineralisation may have formed via cross-strata fluid flow.
