In line with Rumble's planned exploration programmes, the Company is scheduled to complete a high impact drill program targeting highly conductive bedrock conductors at the Zanthus project in March 2015. Whilst this is being completed Rumble will complete all the necessary technical work to prepare the Big Red Project for the next stage of drilling.
Zanthus Project
The Zanthus Project is located 20km's east of the Nova-Bollinger nickel copper massive sulphide discoveries in the Fraser Range, Western Australia.
As part of a planned systematic exploration program Rumble is fast tracking approvals to complete a high impact drilling program in March 2015. The program will consist of 5 RC holes for 750 metres. Rumble will be targeting 5 bedrock conductors which may represent magmatic massive Nickel Sulphides See Figure 2. They are located in and around an "eye" feature interpreted as an elliptical magnetic rimmed intrusive body some 2km in length and up to 1km wide and of similar size to the Nova "eye" feature.
ZC1, ZC2 and ZC3 are of high conductance and will be a priority for the upcoming drill program. See $\pmb{\theta}$ Figure 3.
ZC4 and ZC5 - These targets will also be tested as part of the current drill program.

Figure 2. Zanthus Eye Conductors
"Eye" shaped magnetic features are indicators commonly associated with mafic intrusive complexes that host Ni-Cu-PGE ore bodies and are therefore priority targets when looking for ore bodies that can contain zones of massive sulphides. The world class Nova massive Sulphide Nickel Copper Discovery was found through drilling a bedrock conductor within an "eye" intrusive.

Figure 3. ZC1, ZC2 & ZC3 of high conductance which are high priority drill targets.

Rumble recently announced on December 16th 2014 its application for the WA State Government's Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) was successful at Zanthus. Rumble was awarded up to $150,000 in co-funding to drill test the highly prospective Zanthus Project bedrock conductors. The $150k grant will enable Rumble to utilise its cash reserves to fund further exploration on other Fraser Range exploration programs. The EIS is a competitive process with the company now receiving grants for both the Big Red and Zanthus projects highlighting the prospectivity of Rumble's Fraser Range projects.

Big Red Project
The Big Red Project is located 450 kilometres east of Kalgoorlie in the Fraser Range Western Australia.
A maiden drill program was completed consisting of 4 Mud Rotary/Diamond drill holes totalling 1,503.9m with the programme designed to test a 2km EM conductor outlined by a high powered ground EM survey
Rumble has received all assays from its maiden drill program. The assays confirmed all three holes intersected large disseminated mineralised sulphide zones within gabbros of the Fraser Range Complex. These sulphide zones are of considerable widths and indicate this large conductor to be a significant mineralised system. Intersecting Fraser Range gabbro is of significance as it is the rock unit which can host magmatic Ni-Cu sulphide deposits.
Geochemistry
A review of the geochemistry indicates that all three holes intersected significant zones of Fraser Range gabbro with the largest over 40 metres thick. These gabbro sequences are high in Iron and Titanium oxides and of significance have zones of disseminated mineralised sulphides. These high Iron and Titanium (2.04%) oxide minerals are important indicators as to the fractionation history of the magma and more detailed work will help determine the effective mechanism required to concentrate these oxide minerals from the parent magma. The sulphides zones are anomalous in copper, nickel and cobalt. It is thought that the Big Red gabbro could be part of a layered mafic/ultramafic sequence and further geochemistry is now being undertaken along with detailed petrographic studies of the sulphide zones.
The Big Red gabbro also shows evidence of hybridisation. The GSWA has identified two main types of hybrid gabbros in the Fraser Range. These are formed where the main gabbros have incorporated felsic material through assimilation or magma mixing. They are formed through two distinct processes and are located throughout the Fraser Range. The Big Red gabbro forms part of Hybrid Group 1 which is enriched in Thorium and has high Th/La ratios. These gabbro units are thought to have been formed from the incorporation of surrounding felsic material into the main gabbro melt during ascent or emplacement.
The Company is now obtaining more detailed Platinum Group Element and Rare Earth Element geochemistry to further investigate the evolution of the Big Red gabbro to aid in future target generation for magmatic Nickel and Copper sulphides.

DHEM - Downhole EM Program
As previously reported on 23rd December the Company completed a DHEM program on the three holes that reached target depth. Ongoing modelling is being completed with the DHEM survey indicating numerous off hole conductors with 2 of high conductance modelled to date which may represent massive sulphide accumulations.
BDD002 has a broad off hole anomaly centred at 420m downhole and is sourced dominantly above and left of the hole (South west). This area contains both a gabbro unit with mineralised sulphides and a highly magnetic meta-sedimentary unit.
BDD003 has strong local off hole anomalies have been modelled 20m off hole centred at 390 to 400m downhole level. This area contains both a gabbro unit with mineralised sulphides and a highly magnetic meta-sedimentary unit. The results indicating multiple bodies of high conductance levels (~6000-8000S).
BDD004 has a broad off hole anomaly centred at 300-310m down hole, source below right (Northeast) at 100m. This area is close to a gabbro unit with mineralised sulphides.

NEXT STAGE EXPLORATION
Rumble has identified mineralised magmatic sulphide zones within a Fraser Range gabbro. In close proximity are significant bedrock conductors which may represent massive sulphide accumulations which are high priority targets. Before the next stage of drilling is to commence the next phase of technical work will need to be completed which will include:
- Detailed modelling of the Bedrock Conductors to determine the strike, dip and depth of the bodies.
- Detailed petrographic analysis of the magmatic sulphides;
- Lithogeochemical analysis of any rare earth and platinum group elements to determine if any fractionation trends are present;
Based on the results of this work the next phase of drilling will be planned in 2015 following the Zanthus drilling program.

CEO Comments
Rumbles CEO, Mr Shane Sikora, said: "Our systematic exploration approach continues to generate compelling Nickel Sulphide drill targets taking us that one step closer to finding the next major Nickel Discovery. Intersecting multiple mineralised sulphides zones of considerable widths within Fraser Range gabbro units at Big Red highlights the prospectivity for both nickel and copper massive sulphides to be present. As we know now it's a mineralised system the significant off hole conductors represent high grade targets as they may represent massive sulphide accumulations.
"Whilst we are conducting the necessary next steps to prepare for the next stage of Big Red Drilling, Rumble will drill the 5 bedrock conductors at the Zanthus project as scheduled. The 5 bedrock conductors located across an eye feature 20km's from Nova represent some of the most compelling targets in the Fraser Range. The world class Nova Massive Sulphide Nickel Copper Discovery was found through drilling a bedrock conductor within an "eye" intrusive".
"Rumble now has multiple nickel sulphide drill targets at Zanthus and Big Red. The company is in a position to schedule multiple drill programs to test these targets providing our shareholders with an exciting start to 2015".
