Drilling commenced to test shallow conductors targeting Ni-Cu-PGE deposits at Panache Project, Sudbury, Canada
Panache Ni-Cu-Co-Au-PGE Project, Greater Sudbury, Canada
- Area B – Diamond drilling has commenced testing two parallel shallow conductors that could represent a potential massive/semi-massive sulphide zone with associated stringer sulphide mineralisation within disseminated sulphides hosted in gabbro (Nipissing Gabbro).
- Two compelling conductors are located in an area with exposed mineralised gossans up to 10m in width and up to 950m of strike with grab sampling results including Cu to 1.61%, Ni to 0.49%, Co to 1.1%, Au to 1.64 g/t, Pt to 1.64 g/t and Pd to 1.58 g/t.
- No previous drilling Over 8km of prospective mineralised strike (Gabbro Contact) has not been drill tested
- Since 1883, the Sudbury mining field has accounted for over 25% of the world's total nickel production and new discoveries continue to be made. It is one of the most productive nickel-mining fields in the world with over 1.7 billion tonnes of past production, reserves and resources
Rumble Resources Ltd (ASX: RTR) ("Rumble" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced diamond core drilling at the Panache Project located in Sudbury, Canada.
The drill programme is anticipated to take approximately one week to complete, with a further two weeks for assays to subsequently be completed.

About Panache Ni-Cu-Co-Au-PGE Project
The Panache Project (33.5km² in area) is located 40km southwest of the city of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. The project hosts a large portion of the Lac Panache gabbro intrusion which is part of the regionally extensive Nipissing Gabbro Suite. The Lac Panache Gabbro intrusion is interpreted to be an arcuate, generally southerly dipping mafic sill (feeder) with increased disseminated Cu – Ni sulphides with stringer to massive sulphide towards the base.
Note: Within the project area, some 8 km of mineralised strike (Gabbro contact - see image 2) has been inferred. The current GTEM survey has only tested 1.2km of strike (area of sub crop) - there has been no previous drilling.
Rumble completed a ground TEM over Area B (refer ASX announcement 12 March 2019) over exposed gossans (up to 10m wide and 950m of strike) where grab sampling identified;
o Cu to 1.61%, Ni to 0.49%, Co to 1.1%, Au to 1.64 g/t, Pt to 1.64 g/t and Pd to 1.58 g/t.
The GTEM delineated two co-incident conductors at a shallow depth of 40m (see image 3 & 4).
- Conductor A has a strong conductive response (9000 siemens) and is considered to be semi to massive sulphide.
- Conductor B has a lower conductive response (400 siemens) and is considered to be a zone of stringer sulphide.

About Sudbury Mining District
Since 1883, the Sudbury mining field has accounted for over 25% of the world's total nickel production and new discoveries continue to be made. It is one of the most productive nickel-mining fields in the world with over 1.7 billion tonnes of past production, reserves and resources. Nickel-copper and platinum group metals ("PGM") bearing sulphide minerals occur in a 60 km by 27 km elliptical igneous body called the Sudbury Igneous Complex ("SIC"). The current model infers the SIC was formed some 1,844 million years ago after sheet-like flash/impact melting of nickel and copper bearing rocks by a meteorite impact. The SIC is within a basin like structure (Sudbury Basin) which had been covered by later sediments and has subsequently been eroded to the current level. Mineralization occurs within the SIC as well as in the neighbouring country rocks in close association with breccias and so-called 'Offset Dykes'.

About Rumble Resources Ltd
- ENDS –
Rumble Resources Ltd is an Australian based exploration company, officially admitted to the ASX on the 1st July 2011. Rumble was established with the aim of adding significant value to its current gold and base metal assets and will continue to look at mineral acquisition opportunities both in Australia and abroad.
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 Brett Keillor, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining & Metallurgy and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Keillor is an employee of Rumble Resources Limited. Mr Keillor 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 Keillor consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
