20 March 2017

Rumble Resources Ltd

Highlights

Braeside Zn-Pb-Ag (Au, Cu) Project, Western Australia

ASX RTR

  • Very limited modern exploration (only 6 drill-holes known) completed

  • Potential for a significant high grade Zn, Pb, Ag deposit with Au and Cu credits

  • Zinc and Lead spot price continues to rise

Executives & Management

Mr Shane Sikora Managing Director

  • Major Zinc-Lead mine closures in recent years due to depletion, undersupply forecast

Rumble Resources Ltd (ASX: RTR) (“Rumble” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a binding option agreement to acquire the Braeside Zn-Pb-Ag (Cu-Au) Project (“the Project”).

This binding option agreement allows Rumble to complete due diligence for up to 3 months, however Rumble has already completed high level reviews on the Project and has the option to execute the agreement early.

Brett Keillor has recently taken the role of Technical Director and has been instrumental in identifying this opportunity. Brett has over 30 years’ experience in the mining industry working across a diverse range of commodities with expertise in targeting large deposits and identifying company making projects. Brett worked and reviewed exploration and development projects across the globe for Independence Group and Resolute and has been instrumental in discovering seven significant deposits.

Braeside Project location and Geology

The Braeside Project (E45/2032) is located in the northern Gregory Ranges, 129 kilometres east of Marble Bar with access to the main Telfer mine road.

The Project hosts the Braeside Zn-Pb Ag mining district which includes the Ragged Hills mining centre (discovered in 1901) and numerous small mines along a major structure known as the Braeside Fault zone. The historic mines were operating from 1925 to 1967.

==> picture [431 x 467] intentionally omitted <==

Image 2 Project Location and Geology

The Braeside Fault zone contains high grade poly-metallic mineralisation over 30km of strike with dominant galena and associated sphalerite and chalcopyrite. Mineralisation at the Ragged Hills Mine is up to 4.2m wide in steep dipping fault/shears. Mineralised breccia/stockworking up to 50m in width is reported at Gossan Hill. Historic artisanal mining focused on massive galena shoots (up to 1.5m in width) within the mineralised zones.

==> picture [83 x 72] intentionally omitted <==

The Braeside Fault zone and associated mineralisation are hosted in Fortescue Group mafic volcanics and volcaniclastics (Pearana Basalt and the Kylena Basalt) underlain by the Koongaling Felsic Volcanics. The felsic volcanics are bimodal with the Fortescue Group basalts and are potentially the source of the poly-metallic mineralisation. Pb age dating of the mineralised basalts hosting galena is the same age as the Koongaling Felsics (2.76Ga).

Historic Exploration

Drilling

The reported historical exploration is limited to six known drill-holes. Three holes were completed in 1928 by the Department of Mines and three by Anglo Westralian Pty Ltd in 1951, focussing on the workings at Ragged Hills and Barker Well. The best historical drilling intercept at Ragged Hills was reported by Anglo Westralian Pty Ltd in 1951 to be:

1.83m (horizontal width) at 8.1% Pb, 4.6% Zn and 6.2ppm Ag .

Due to the historical nature of the drill holes the Company has been unable to locate or provide further drill hole data as required under ASX Listing 5.7.2, however does not believe the excluded information is material and rather these limited results are included to support the Company’s belief in the exploration potential of the Braeside Project.

Grab Sampling

Historic grab sampling conducted within the Project area includes three surveys completed in 1987, 1990 and 1993. Very high grade base metal and gold reported in 1987 is interpreted to be associated with a line of workings west of the main Ragged Hills mine area. A total of seventy seven (77) grab samples returned Zn up to 18.9% (17 samples > 1% Zn), Pb up to 79% (35 samples >10% Pb), Cu up to 11.64% (22 samples >1% Cu), Ag up to 325 g/t (44 samples > 20 g/t Ag) and Au up to 13 g/t (12 samples >1 g/t Au) . The Company is conducting further due diligence on the assay results from 1987 and considers the grab samples likely to represent ore samples from old workings.

In 1990 and 1993 regional grab sampling throughout the Braeside Project area was completed by helicopter and ground traverses. A total of one hundred and sixty eight (168) grab samples were collected over a broad area and very high grade results include Zn up to 8.1% (2 samples > 1% Zn), Pb up to 69.3% (11 samples >10% Pb), Cu up to 7.5% (11 samples > 1% Cu), Ag up to 112 g/t (9 samples > 20 g/t Ag) and only traces of Au . It is important to note that the focus of the samples in 1990 and 1993 were to find gold prospects.

A previous historical report in respect to the Ragged Hills mine area completed by the Geological Survey of Western Australia stated that “an average of 22 ore samples gives 27.2% Pb and 110.72 g/t Ag ”, and noted that copper was present and enriched at the surface.

Significant historical assay results are included at Appendix 1. The Company continues to analyse the available historical exploration results as part of its due diligence on the Project, is excited by the exploration potential that these historical results represent, and will report further results as they are processed.

Exploration Potential

The Braeside Project consists of multiple high grade Zn, Pb, Cu and Ag deposits and occurrences associated with a major NNW fault zone within mafic volcanics and volcaniclastics over a strike of at least 30km . Underlying the fault zone and mafics to the east, a felsic volcanic sequence is considered significant and may represent the source of the widespread base metal mineralisation.

The poly-metallic mineralisation has not been tested by detail geophysics and geochemistry with only 6 historic drill-holes known partially testing immediately below historic workings. Subject to successful completion of due diligence and exercise of the Option, the Company will outline its proposed exploration program.

Wide ( 50m ) zones of breccia/stockworking within the highly mineralised structural corridor remain completely untested at the Gossan Hill prospect.

Key Commercial Terms of the Braeside Binding Option Agreement

Rumble has signed a binding 3 month option agreement with Maverick Exploration Pty Ltd to finalise due diligence on the Braeside Project. Rumble is able to make an early election if it so chooses: then

If RTR elects to exercise the Option RTR agrees to acquire 70% of the title and interest in the Braeside Project based on the below Terms:

  • a. RTR to expend A$1,500,000 on exploration over a period of 3 years from the execution of the option to earn 70%.

  • b. RTR to expend A$200,000 before it can withdraw from the earn-in agreement.

  • c. Rumble to pay Maverick Exploration Pty Ltd A$30,000 on exercising the option.

  • d. Maverick Exploration Pty Ltd is free carried to decision to mine (after BFS).

  • ongoing project development or dilute to a 1.5% NSR.

Forward Looking and Cautionary Statement

The information in this report that relates to historic exploration results was collected from DMP reports submitted by government agencies and previous explorers. Rumble has not completed the historical data or the verification process . As sufficient work has not yet been done to verify the historical exploration results, investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on them.

Competent Persons Statement

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Andy Rust, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining & Metallurgy and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Rust is an employee of Shearwater Australia Pty. Ltd. who is a consultant of Rumble Resources Limited. Mr Rust has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Rust consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
