EXPLORATION UPDATE - WOLLOGORANG PROJECT, NT

Highlights

  • Assays have been received from 3,152m of a planned 6,500m reverse circulation drilling program completed at the Wollogorang Project, Northern Territory in late 2022

  • Drilling was fully funded by project partner, OZ Minerals (ASX: OZL), under an earn-in and JV agreement

  • The onset of the wet season suspended drilling operations until the next dry season (May 2023)

  • Of the ~50% targets tested, no significant copper mineralisation was encountered

  • Prospective host rocks were intersected with selective assays reporting total organic carbon (TOC) content exceeding the important 1% TOC threshold to qualify as a potential “trap rock”

  • OZL has until 13 March 2023 to elect to earn-in to a 51% interest by committing to spend a further $3m and paying Resolution $300,000 cash upfront or withdraw with no earned interest

  • The results of the 2022 program will be used to improve the targeting for future drill programs

ASX RELEASE

Resolution Minerals Ltd ( RML or Company ) (ASX: RML ) has received assays testing approximately half of the Cu-Co-Pb-Zn-Ag targets, from 21 drill holes totalling 3,152m of drilling, of a planned 6,500m reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling program at the Wollogorang Project in the Northern Territory ( Figure 1 ). The Company targeted sediment-hosted copper, cobalt and other base metals as part of RML’s search for new energy metals.

Drilling was funded by OZ Minerals as part of their Initial-Period commitments as outlined in the earn-in and joint venture agreement between the two companies (ASX Announcement 24/8/2021).

Wollogorang Results

Only 3,152m of a planned 6,500m of drilling was completed before the onset of the wet season, with approximately 50% of the targets remaining untested ( Figure 1 ). Sampling at 3m composites was completed, with selective total organic carbon (TOC) samples taken to validate reductive properties of the host rock.

Organic carbon analysis was completed on forty-five siltstone samples to confirm the presence of organic carbonaceous material. The average TOC value was 1.3%, with a maximum value of 3.5% TOC returned from the forty-five samples submitted. This is highly significant, given an “organic carbon content of 1% is the minimum amount of organic matter required in reduced stratigraphy for an effective chemical gradient along which metal may commence precipitation ” (Jarrett et al, 2020).

Although no significant multi-element results were reported (all results <0.2% Cu, <0.3% Zn, <0.3% Pb and <10ppm Ag), confirmation of the right host rocks is very positive. Exploration implications have been derived for the remaining target areas, to be followed up post wet season, pending OZL’s decision to complete the planned second half of the drill targets and progress to the next stage of the earn-in agreement.

Competent Person Statement

The information in this report related to Exploration Targets, Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves is based on data compiled by Ms Christine Lawley, a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (MAusIMM) and Member and a Registered Professional Geoscientist (RPGEO) in field of Mineral Exploration with the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (MAIG). Ms Christine Lawley holds shares, options and performance rights in and is a full-time employee of the company and has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Ms Christine Lawley consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on her information in the form in which it appears and confirms that the data reported as foreign estimates are an accurate representation of the available data and studies of the material mining project.

This report includes results that have previously recently been released under JORC 2012 by the Company as “Stanton Resource Upgrade Increases Contained Cobalt” 9 April 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.

loop. The VTEM Max can generate
up to 866,000 NIA peak dipole
moment (230Amps). The EM
receiver provides both dB/dt and
B-field measurements for Z, X and
optional Y axis. The revised data
acquisition system (full waveform)
provides a wider range of time
gate windows (18 to 10 msec).
VTEM data was reprocessed by
Intrepid Geophysics to perform
2.5D inversions on the survey
data. Conductivity was modelled
while removing topographic
artefacts and non-geological
conductors. The reprocessed data
was used to refine conductive drill
targets.
Further The nature and scale of planned further work A range of exploration techniques
