Rumble Resources Limited (ASX: RTR) (“Rumble” or “the Company”) is pleased to report significant new assay results from the ongoing 40,000m drilling program at the rapidly advancing Chinook Zinc-Lead (Zn-Pb) discovery at the Earaheedy Project, located approximately 110km north of Wiluna, Western Australia. Results for fifty-one (51) RC drill holes and two (2) Sonic drill holes reported in this announcement form part of the ongoing drill scoping of the Chinook Zn – Pb Prospect. The scoping is designed to define the controls and limits of the mineralisation.

Rumble Resources Managing Director, Mr Shane Sikora said The broad spaced scoping drilling continues to deliver at the Chinook Zn-Pb Prospect with an impressive 44% mineralisation envelope increase (from previous ASX announcement on 8 July 2021) to 4.1km x 1.9km. Mineralisation remains open in all directions”.

“Another exciting development at the Chinook Prospect is that significant Zn-Pb mineralisation has been intercepted in numerous drill holes along the north-west corner, and within 50m of the main tenement (E69/3464) boundary which abuts Rumble’s (100%) pending application ELA69/3787. Based on the location and inferred strike of the mineralisation, Rumble has modeled that the Chinook mineralisation will extend west into ELA69/3787. ELA69/3787 already hosts the Sweetwater Zn-Pb Prospect which has historical Zn-Pb drill intercepts located over 12kms from Chinook, along the prospective unconformity, with no historical drilling ever completed between the two prospects (see image 5).

“In addition to drilling activities at Chinook, the current drilling is also focused on defining the limits of Zn-Pb mineralization at the Navajoh and Magazine Prospects whilst looking for new discoveries along the 17km of mineralised strike so far delineated (see Image 5). Rumble is particularly excited about new prospects currently being drilled at the Earaheedy Project and looks forward to reporting on these developments as soon as results come to hand.

“Once the team completes the broad spaced drill scoping, drilling will focus on targeting the multiple feeder structures identified by the geophysics, which are interpreted to contain higher-grade Zn-Pb mineralisation.

The Sonic Hole EHS002, a twin of EHRC044 reported a 26% increase in Zinc-Lead grade from previous RC assay ( 19m @ 6.1% Zn + Pb, 8.52 g/t Ag from 55m – True Width as vertical hole) . This Sonic drilling is supporting the RC drilling results to date along with providing sample volume for initial metallurgical testing.

“Based on the drilling results to date, field observations and our developing understanding of the geology of this potential Tier 1 sediment hosted Zinc-Lead system, it is becoming very clear there is potential to delineate multiple shallow, flat lying open pittable Zn-Pb deposits throughout the 45km’s of strike at Earaheedy.

“To date we have only received and announced assays from approximately 9,000m of the 35,000m (~25%) drilling completed, largely due to the reported industry wide laboratory backlog. We believe the current extensive drill program will deliver further exciting developments and we look forward to reporting these results as they come to hand.”

Drilling Update – E69/3464

The current exploration drilling program at Earaheedy has been expanded to 40,000m (refer to ASX announcement from 23[rd] August 2021) and is designed to define the limits of the flat to gently northeast dipping Zn-Pb-Ag-(Mn) mineralisation associated with the unconformity that forms the hiatus between the overlying Palaeoproterozoic Frere Iron formation and the underlying Palaeoproterozoic Yelma Formation (lower section of the Tooloo Group) at the Chinook Prospect.

Drill scoping is also occurring at the Magazine and Navajoh Zn-Pb Prospects that lie some 7-12km southeast of the Chinook prospect, and targeting new discoveries along 17km of open mineralised strike.

Results of RC Drilling from the Chinook Prospect (refer to Table 4 in the Appendix)

Assay results have been received and compiled for fifty-one RC drill holes for 7826m at the Chinook Prospect. The bulk of the drilling has focused on defining the limits to the mineralisation toward the northwest on 500m section spacings. Image 1 presents the latest RC drill hole intersections and assays. See ASX announcements set out below for previous Rumble RC drill results.

Excitingly, the high-grade Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation is modelled to extend northwest and up-dip into the Rumble’s pending 100% tenement ELA69/3747 , which is due to be granted in the near term. All four RC drill holes currently assayed by Rumble that lie within 50m of the ELA69/3747 boundary returned significant Zn-Pb intersections:

  • EHRC093 – 11m @ 3.02% Zn + Pb from 102m

  • EHRC089 – 15m @ 4.02% Zn + Pb from 116m

  • EHRC216 – 20m @ 3.47%Zn + Pb from 116m

  • EHRC087 – 8m @ 3.43% Zn +Pb from 129m (previously reported ASX 8/7/2021)

Additionally, a wide zone of silver mineralisation intersected in EHRC251 (see image 1) lies essentially below the unconformity hosted Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation ( 17m @ 3.08% Zn + Pb from 72m ) and is hosted in dolomite/carbonate. This silver zone of 70m @ 6.54 g/t Ag from 55m , includes 21m @ 16 g/t Ag from 88m. Elevated copper and arsenic is also associated with the silver. Often large base metal systems have potential economic copper mineralization close to the main mineralizing structures .

Image 1. Chinook Prospect – Recent RC and Sonic Drilling Results

Sonic Drilling

Two vertical Sonic drill holes 500m apart have been completed to provide core samples for geological interpretation and metallurgical test work. Sonic drilling uses high frequency resonant energy which is applied to an open face bit through the rotating hollow drill string via a modified drill head. The result is the target lithology/mineralisation is captured inside the hollow drill string (100mm diameter in this case) as often broken (due to the vibration) material, however, at better recovery than an equivalent diamond core drilling method. The Sonic drilling is supporting the RC drilling results, core for geological interpretation, and samples for initial metallurgical testing.

EHS001 (Table 1)

The EHS001 Sonic drill hole was designed to twin the strong Zn-Pb-Ag sulphide mineralisation material delineated in EHRC050 and returned:

  • 24m @ 5.57% Zn + Pb, 5.05 g/t Ag from 66m (>2% Zn + Pb Cut Off)

EHS001 is located within 5m of EHRC050 and 28m of mineralisation (>2% Zn + Pb Cut Off) was encountered of which 22.2m was recovered for assay. The assay results are reported in Table 1. The cumulative weighted assay intersection for EHS001 is:

  • 22.2m @ 4.32% Zn + Pb, 4 g/t Ag from 67m (>2% Zn + Pb Cut Off)

  • 22.2m recovered within mineralised zone of 28m

Table 1. EHS001 Assay Results

EHS002 (see Image 2 for Section and Table 2 for assays)

Sonic drill hole EHS002 was designed to twin the strongly mineralised sulphide material from EHRC044 which previously returned:

  • 21m @ 4.31% Zn + Pb, 5 g/t Ag from 61m (>2% Zn + Pb Cut Off)

EHS002 is located within 5m of EHRC044 and encountered 26.5m of mineralisation (>2% Zn + Pb Cut Off) of which 19m was recovered for assay. The assay results are presented in Table 2. The cumulative weighted assay intersection for EHS002 is:

  • 19m @ 6.1% Zn + Pb, 8.52 g/t Ag from 55m (>2% Zn + Pb Cut Off) o 19m recovered within mineralised zone of 26.5m

As the Sonic and diamond core drilling teams gain more experience with the drilling conditions at Earaheedy, Rumble expects the recoveries to increase significantly.

The assay results for EHS002 are presented in Table 2 and in cross section within Image 2. Section EHS002 (see image 1 for location) highlights the geology and zinc, lead, silver and sulphur assays below the base of complete oxidation.

Multiple Mineralisation Styles and Potential in the District (image 3)

==> picture [82 x 72] intentionally omitted <==

As the RC drill scoping has continued, the footprint of the very large Earaheedy Zn-Pb-Ag-Mn system has increased. Additionally, a number of styles of primary mineralisation have now been encountered over a broadly tested 17 km of strike between Chinook, Magazine and Navajoh.

Unconformity Hosted Zn-Pb-Ag-Mn Sulphide Types

  • Carbonate Hosted Style – Sphalerite-Galena-Pyrite-(Manganese) Dominant

  • Silica Replacement of Carbonate Hosted Style

  • Clastic Hosted Style – Sphalerite-Galena-Pyrite

  • Higher grade associated with coarser grain siliciclastic sediment – Matrix replacement

Shale Hosted Sulphide Type

  • Footwall Shale Hosted Zinc-Galena-Silver-Pyrite o Footwall shale locally known as Purple Shale (oxidized)

  • Associated with footwall structures (feeders)

  • Increase in anomalous copper and elevated arsenic.

MVT Sulphide Type

Historic exploration (RGC) focused on the main carbonate units that lie deeper under the Frere Iron Formation. MVT (Mississippi Valley Type) Zn dominant mineralisation included

  • MVT high angle Zinc-Lead-Pyrite sulphide breccias

  • Stratabound (conformable) Zn

  • Zn replacement – disseminated and dissolution controlled – Silica Overprint.

Other Types

  • Fault Related Epigenetic Cu-Ag

o High grade Ag with strong Cu zonation

Exploration to the south of the Project area by Strickland Metals has also reported significant Zn-Pb-Ag-Mn mineralisation with assays including 23m @ 5.5% Zn + Pb in the Iroquois Carbonate Member at the Iroquois Zn-PbMn Prospect – refer to image 3 for location ( refer ASX announcement by Strickland Metals – ASX: STK – 14/10/2021). The drilling has demonstrated the lower Iroquois Carbonate Member is very prospective for MVT (Mississippi Valley Type) high-grade Zn-Pb-Ag lodes in association with basement/footwall feeder faults.

Within the Earaheedy tenement E69/3464, the top of the Iroquois Carbonate Formation has been intersected below the footwall shale in recent drilling (assays pending) by Rumble. At this stage the drilling by Rumble has not targeted MVT mineralization or the Iroquois Carbonate Formation. Based on the depth to the top of the Iroquois Carbonate Formation below the recent Rumble drilling at Chinook, Magazine and Navajoh on tenement E69/3464, the Iroquois Carbonate Formation is modelled to reach surface 2-5km to the south and southwest in Rumble’s application ELA69/3787 (see images 3 and 5).

Ongoing Exploration Steps

  • Nearly 35,000m of RC drilling has been completed at Earaheedy with only 9,000m of RC assay results (~25%) reported due to the high levels of exploration in Western Australia and industry wide laboratory turnaround issues (refer to RTR ASX Release 23/8/2021 - Exploration Update)

.

  • RC drill scoping of Chinook, Magazine and Navajoh

  • 40,000m RC program ongoing – Likely to expand due to increase in mineralised footprint

  • Diamond core drilling

  • Clastic hosted Zn-Pb-Ag and footwall shale hosted sulphide mineralisation to be targeted

  • Sonic drilling

  • Reasonable recovery at EHS001 and EHS002 compared to diamond core drilling has given Rumble confidence to restart the Sonic drill testing.

  • Sonic drilling of different mineralisation styles, including oxide.

  • Metallurgy

  • Diamond and Sonic drilling to be used for initial metallurgical sighter programs

  • Geophysics

  • Airborne Magnetics planned over Applications

  • Analysis of Gravity and passive Seismic ongoing

The entire project area covers the inferred unconformity contact between the overlying Frere Iron Formation and underlying Yelma Formation of the Palaeoproterozoic Earaheedy Basin.On April 2021 Rumble announced a major Zinc-Lead Discovery with ‘Tier 1’ deposit potential at the Earaheedy Project (see ASX Announcement 19 April 2021) and followed this up by announcing a Large Sedex Style System Emerging at the Earaheedy Project (see ASX announcement 25 May 2021) on E69/3464. There are three main prospects within E69/3464, Chinook and Magazine/Navajoh which lie 12km apart. Within the project area, Rumble controls 45km of prospective mineralised strike which has the potential for multiple large tonnage Zn – Pb deposits - See image 3.

First Stage Exploration Target

==> picture [82 x 72] intentionally omitted <==

Rumble’s Zn-Pb exploration target at the Earaheedy Project is between 100 to 120 million tonnes at a grade ranging between 3.5% Zn-Pb to 4.5% Zn-Pb. The exploration target is at a shallow depth (120m), and over 40kms of prospective strike (completely open) has been defined within the Earaheedy Project. The potential quantity and grade of the exploration target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The exploration target, being conceptual in nature, takes no account of geological complexity, possible mining method or metallurgical recovery factors. The exploration target has been estimated in order to provide an assessment of the potential for large-scale Zn-Pb deposits within the Earaheedy Project. The exploration target has been prepared and reported in accordance with the 2012 edition of the JORC Code.

Table 1: Near surface exploration target down to 100 metre - shallow depth

The potential quantity and grade of the exploration target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The exploration target is based on the current geological understanding of the mineralisation geometry, continuity of mineralisation and regional geology. This understanding is provided by an extensive drill hole database, regional mapping, coupled with understanding of the host stratigraphic sequence.

Included in the data on which this exploration target has been prepared is recent RC drilling of seventeen (17) holes for approximately 2,500m (RC/Diamond), thirty (30) holes for 2,690m (three RC stages), eighty-eight (88) RC holes for 14,988m recently completed (ongoing) and diamond drilling of four (4) holes for 1,199.8m completed by Rumble along with sixty-four (64) historic RC drill holes completed within the project area (E69/3464) by previous explorers (refer historical exploration results in previous ASX announcements dated 5 February 2019 and 12 October 2017, 23rd January 2020 which continue to apply and have not materially changed). Some of the considerations in respect of the estimation of the exploration target include:

  • Drilling results have demonstrated strong continuity of shallow, flat lying mineralisation;

  • Over 45km’s of prospective strike and open (refer image 6);

  • Minimum 600m of width (based on shallow 7.5° and shallow depth to 120m, based on drilling results;

  • True width (thickness) of mineralisation up to 34 metres received in drilling results; and

  • Specific gravity (SG) of 2.5 (world average SG of sandstone – not accounting for metal).

The Company intends to test the exploration target with drilling and this further drilling is expected to extend over approximately 12 months. Grade ranges have been either estimated or assigned from lower and upper grades of mineralisation received in drilling results. A classification is not applicable for an exploration target.
