ASX/Media Release

Resumption of Drilling Operations at Springfield and Gigante Grande Prospects

Resources & Energy Group Limited (ASX: REZ or the Company) are pleased to advise that drilling operations at the Companies Springfield and Gigante Grande prospects recommenced on 11[th] December. The Company is taking advantage of rig availability which has emerged for a short program prior to the Christmas shutdown.

DISCUSSION

The Springfield drilling program has been designed to follow up previously reported anomalous Nickel, Cobalt, Chromium, Zinc, Copper and Molybdenum results obtained from the initial Springfield scout program. This included the following peak down the hole assays[(1)] :

  • SFRC01‐1m @1.78% Ni, 0.21% Cr, 5% S[(2)] , 269ppm Mo and 245ppm Cu from 98m.

  • SFRC04‐1m @ 0.5 % Ni, 0.19% Cr, 4.4% S, from 88m

  • SFRC05‐2m @ 1.02% Ni, 0.6% Cr, 0.4% Zn, from 29m and 2m @ 1.1 % Ni, 1% Cr[(3)] , 0.49% S, 0.45% Zn, 0.07% Co from 36m, included within 9m @ 0.8 % Ni, 0.62% Cr, 0.31% Zn from 29m

The Springfield area was identified by the Company following a review of historical exploration and gold mining activities. The documented occurrences of sulphides north of Springfield at Cepline, are prospective features for the occurrence of magmatic nickel sulphides, volcanic exhalative nickel sulphides and base metals deposits as well.

At this early stage of work, it is difficult to determine the style of mineralisation encountered at Springfield. RC Samples have been dispatched for preparation of thin sections for petrological and lithogeochemical evaluation by a leading industry expert‐Ben Grguric.

A total of 6 holes for an advance of 750m has been planned for Springfield. If time permits a further two holes will be drilled at Gigante Grande, where operations are investigating a large granite hosted gold system. These holes are part of a broader program of work which is being developed for the Gigante Grande prospect for implementation in early 2022.

Exploration completed by the company at Gigante Grande has intersected some impressive aggregate (4) intervals of gold mineralisation, refer Figure 1. These include:

  • 20EMRC12 ‐65m at 1.72gt/au from 71m[(5)]

  • 21EMRC01‐ 35m at 0.7gt/au from 11m and 19m at 2.51gt/au from 56m[(6)]

  • 21EMRC04‐ 93m at 1.47gt/au from 28m[(6)]

  • 21EMRC05‐ 115m at 1.33gt/au from 18m[6)]

Collar details and locations for the proposed Springfield drill holes are presented in table 1 and figure

  1. The program is expected to take approximately 7 days to complete with results becoming available in mid‐January 2022.

About Resources and Energy

Resources and Energy Group Limited (ASX: REZ) is an independent, ASX‐listed mineral resources explorer, and miner with projects located in premier mining jurisdictions in Western Australia and Queensland. In Western Australia, the company’s flagship is the East Menzies Gold project (EMGP), situated 130km north of Kalgoorlie. The EMGP represents a +100km2 package of contiguous mining, exploration, and prospecting licenses, which are located within a significant orogenic lode gold province, refer figures 2 and 3.

For resource growth, the company’s focus is presently exploring the eastern and southwestern sides of the project area (Gigante Grande and Springfield Prospects). On the western side of the project area studies to investigate opportunities for renewed mining operations in M29/189 Granny Venn, M29/141 Goodenough, and M29/427 Maranoa have commenced. Most recently the company completed grade control drilling within the Granny Venn open pit and has resumed mining operations at the Granny Venn Open Pit Gold Mine. As of End July 2021, the Company has combined gold and silver resources (JORC 2012) of 192k oz/au and 862k oz/au ag; refer to table 2.

Figure 3 East Menzies Gold Project tenement and Operations Plan

In Queensland, the company has a 12km2 Mineral Development Licence over the Mount Mackenzie Mineral Resource and retains a further 15km2 as an Exploration Permit. These Development and Exploration Licences are in the Connors‐Auburn Arc and are prospective for high, intermediate, and low sulphidation gold and base metals mineralisation. The current resource has been estimated at
