Sulphide Mineralisation Intersected at Callisto Prospect
Highlights
- Laboratory results of samples from the most recent Black Range air-core drilling program have been received
- Discovery of Gold-Silver-Zinc sulphide mineralisation approximately 2km South of Eclipse-Nebula mineralisation
- This reconnaissance drilling program was undertaken to test geophysical features across the tenement
- Follow up of these highly encouraging first pass results will be undertaken in due course using electrical geophysics, initially IP/Resistivity to map lithology and hydrothermal alteration
Resource Base Limited (ASX:RBX) (Resource Base or the Company), the strategic metals explorer targeting clay hosted REE and VHMS in Victoria and South Australia, is pleased to advise that results have been received for its most recent reconnaissance air-core drilling program over its Black Range project situated within the well-known and highly prospective Stavely Volcanics corridor 50km south of Horsham in western Victoria.
A majority of the drilling was aimed at regional targets across the central part of the tenement EL4590 with the objective of locating additional VHMS or intrusive related gold and base metal targets further afield from the known Eclipse and Nebula mineralisation.
Commenting Resource Base Executive Chairman & CEO, Mr. Shannon Green, said:
"We are very encouraged with these initial early-stage results, the discovery of Gold-Silver-Zinc sulphide mineralisation approximately 2km South of Eclipse-Nebula mineralisation demonstrates the scale potential of the Black Range project. We look forward to undertaking further lower cost geophysics and RC drilling in due course as this project continues to unfold."


Drilling on the Callisto target sought to test a similar stratigraphic position to the Eclipse VHMS mineralisation some 2km along geological strike to the North.
Sulphide rich mineralisation with highly anomalous Gold, Silver and Zinc has been intersected over an interval of 8m on the western margin of the same magnetic unit which lies on the eastern side of the Eclipse mineralisation.
This stratigraphic position is interpreted to be the eastern margin of a narrow half-graben basin formed during the deposition of the volcano-sedimentary Mt Stavely Volcanics and a prospective horizon for development of VHMS mineralisation.

Next Steps
- Follow up of these highly encouraging first pass results will be done using electrical geophysics, initially IP/Resistivity to map lithology and hydrothermal alteration and then Electromagnetics to search for conductive massive sulphide bodies. These programs can be undertaken during the Winter and Spring period with the aim of generating specific drill targets for testing during the Summer period, once the ground has dried up enough to ensure that drilling equipment can be mobilised without damage to the ground surface and any actively flowering native plants.
- Elsewhere across the tenement air-core drilling will continue to test geophysical targets and more regionally a combination of IP/Resistivity and air-core drilling will continue the search for additional targets along trend from Nebula and Eclipse and across the broader EL4590 tenement.

About Resource Base Ltd
Resource Base Ltd (ASX: RBX) is an Australian based mineral exploration company focused on the development of highly prospective exploration projects with demonstrated potential for scalable discoveries.
Mitre Hill Project
The Mitre Hill tenements account for 4,830km2 that are prospective for clay hosted Rare Earth Elements (REE) within the southern margin of the Murray Basin, the Project consists of four (4) granted tenements in Victoria, one (1) granted tenement in South Australia and seventeen (17) applications in Victoria.
Upon granting of all tenements Mitre Hill will hold the 2nd largest position within a potential emerging clay hosted Rare Earth precinct located in the southern margin of the Murray Basin across Victoria and South Australia.
The licence and applications are located in the southern margin of the Murray Basin on the South Australian and Victorian state Border near the towns of Naracoorte, Penola and Edenhope
The main economic target is clay hosted REE deposits, with Heavy Rare Earths considered strategically important given global supply modelling. A significant archive of historical exploration data has been acquired by the Company, including drilling results, numerous government studies and minor private exploration.
Black Range Project
The Black Range Project (124km2) in Victoria's premier porphyry and VHMS target district, the Mount Stavely Volcanic Complex (MSVC) in Western Victoria, captures three fault-bound segments of the MSVC volcanics with a combined strike length of approximately 55kms. The Project includes the advanced Eclipse prospect, which is prospective for copper, gold and zinc.
The MSVC is considered an analogue of the Mt Read Volcanics in Tasmania, which is host to a number of world-class VHMS deposits (Rosebery, Hellyer, Que River), the giant Mt Lyell Cu-Au deposit, and the Henty Au deposit. Numerous other targets, including Anomaly F, Honeysuckle, Anomaly K and Mt Bepcha are associated with MSVC rocks across the tenement but have seen little work to date.
Petrological studies indicate that important VHMS style hydrothermal alteration and is well developed on the Eclipse prospect. Resource Base will utilise systematic geophysics, drilling and geochemical analyses combined with petrological and hyperspectral SWIR alteration mapping to vector towards zones with high mineralisation potential as identified from comparison with known VHMS deposits in the Mt Read Volcanics and around the world.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Mineral tenement andland tenure status | •Eclipse Prospect is located within EL4590 which is 100% owned byResource Base Ltd (ASX:RBX).EL4590 was purchased from Navarre Minerals Ltd on 5th July 2021•however registration of the transfer of ownership by ERR is currentlypending.EL4590 is currently in good standing and valid until 14th February•2022•There are no non-government royalties or historical sites at Eclipse.•The Eclipse Prospect area is situated on a mix of private grazing landand State Forest (Crown Land) over which exploration is permittedsubject to standard care required to minimize impact to any nativeflora and fauna as per standard Victorian regulations.•There are native title agreements in place with two Native Title claimgroups in respect of Crown Land within EL4590.•There is no known impediments to obtaining a license to operate inthe area and exploration is active and on-going. |
| Exploration done byother parties | •1969-1971 Western Mining conducted stream sediment, soilandmapping programs over the black range volcanics. No sampling ofdrainages from Eclipse Prospect mineralization.•1984 CRA Exploration (CRAE) conducted airborne magnetic survey aspart of its Murray Basin mineral sands exploration program.•1988-1997 CRAE undertook numerous drill programs including RAB,Air-Core, RC and DDH, soil sampling, mapping, geophysics includingIP/Resistivity, gravity, ground magnetics and numerous petrologicalstudies. |
| Discovered Eclipse Prospect (then called McRaes Prospect) VHMSrelated Au and Base Metal mineralisation during 1989reconnaissance RAB programs targeting easily accessible traversesacross volcanics (magnetic features). | |
| 329 RAB holes were drilled between 1988 and 1990. Early programsstruggled with depth penetration, particularly in areas of shallowGrampians Sandstone. Also, end of hole samples appear to havebeen assayed for gold only with re-assay for base metals where goldwas considered anomalous. The reliability of early reconnaissanceRAB drilling in the area is questionable, particularly in terms of basemetal exploration. |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| 287 air-core holes were drilled during 1995 and 1996 over EclipseProspect and immediate surrounds on nominal 100m x 50m grid.Avoided areas where Grampians Sandstone cover was known to bethicker. Repeated 39 of the earlier RAB holes with improvedpenetration and reliability of bedrock geochemistry. | |
| 25 RC and 6 DDH testing continuity of mineralisation and variousextensions, geophysical and geochemical targets over the EclipseProspect. No resource estimate found in reporting. | |
| In 1997 commissioned an airborne EM survey coveringapproximately 550km2 with 200m flight line spacing. This surveyincluded the Eclipse Prospect. Conductive regolith and theGrampians group sediments appears tohave limited the usefulnessof the data. CRAE discontinued exploration in the region in 1997. | |
| EL4590 was granted to Leviathan Resources Ltd on the 14th February•2007. No exploration works were undertaken and the tenement wasfarmed out to Navarre Discovery No 1 Pty Ltd ("Navarre") on the 25thJune 2008.•2008-2021 Navarre continued on from the earlier CRAE explorationon the Eclipse Prospect with detailed airborne magnetics, multiple | |
| IP/Resistivity programs, soil sampling, AC, RC and DDH drilling.A detailed airborne magnetic and radiometric survey covered 17.5kmof the Black Range limb of the Stavely Volcanics hosting the EclipseProspect and adjacent Glenisla limb to its East. Several discrete | |
| intrusive like magnetic features occur in the Eclipse prospect area.A shallow IP/Resistivity survey was undertaken over the Eclipsemineralisation which defined a possible extension to the South. Alater survey was oriented parallel the general trend of geology anddesigned to look quite deep in search of a porphyry target. Sometargets remain to be tested. | |
| 20 AC holes were drilled, mostly to infill data density over thechalcocite blanket zone of the Eclipse Prospect. | |
| 22 RC and 8 DDH holes were drilled mostly to test primary gradesbeneath the Eclipse oxide mineralisation. | |
| Navarre divested EL4590 containing the Eclipse Prospect in July 2021as a non-core asset. | |
| Geology | •The project area is considered highly prospectivefor the discovery ofeconomic precious and base metal deposits related to volcanichosted massive sulphide (VHMS) and porphyry style systems.•Project geology consists of submarine volcanic arc related lithologiesincluding mafic volcanics, intermediate tofelsic volcanics,volcanogenic sediments and marine sediments.•Past workers have noted considerable similarities to geology hostingthe Que River –Hellyer deposits geology in the Mt Read Volcanics onthe West coast of Tasmania.•The Mt Stavely Volcanics in Victoria are considered to be anextension of the Mt Read Volcanics in Tasmania. |
