Two Key Prospective Tenements Granted at the Earaheedy Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu Project
- Two 100% owned key prospective tenements at the Earaheedy Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu Project, E69/3787 and E69/3862, have recently been granted covering an area of 430km2 , a fourfold increase in granted tenure contiguous to Rumble's 75%/Zenith 25% Joint Venture (E69/3464) tenement, which hosts the large-scale Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu discoveries at the Chinook, Tonka and Navajoh Prospects
- The Earaheedy Project is an emerging World Class Base Metal System and the two newly granted tenements more than double the strike of the highly prospective mineralised Navajoh Unconformity Unit to over 42km's. This includes:
- o Over 15km's of mineralised strike potential west and northwest between the Rumble discovered Chinook Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu Prospect (mineralised footprint of 4.1km by 1.9km and open in all directions) with only 2 historical drill holes completed within this strike which importantly intercepted Zn-Pb at the Sweetwater Prospect, 12km's to the west along the "Sweetwater Trend"
- o Over 8km's of mineralised strike potential southeast of the Tonka – Magazine - Navajoh Zn-Pb-Ag Prospect zone (combined mineralised footprint of 6km x 1.2km and open)
- The Company's immediate priority will be extension drilling west and northwest of the Chinook Prospect, with the primary focus on defining the limits of this very large base metal discovery
- Initial reprocessing and interpretation of the recently acquired airborne magnetics data covering the newly granted tenements has identified:
- o Over the Sweetwater Trend inferred magnetic features, and contrasts that are identical to the features seen at Chinook
o Multiple first order litho-structural targets

• A large surface geochemical survey is planned along the entire Sweetwater Trend which in combination with the airborne magnetics will aid in defining new drill targets

Rumble Resources Limited (ASX: RTR) ("Rumble" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that two key prospective tenements have been granted within the Earaheedy Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu Project.
Earaheedy Project - Granting of Tenements E69/3787 and E69/3862
The Earaheedy Project is located some 110 km northeast of Wiluna, Western Australia. The project includes granted tenement (E69/3464), which forms the Rumble Resources 75% / Zenith Minerals Ltd (ASX: ZNC) 25% Joint Venture ("JV"). In 2021, Rumble completed a large 50,000m drilling program (approximately 50% of assays are pending) which scoped approximately 19km of prospective mineralised strike within E69/3464 discovering the Chinook Prospect currently defined over an area of 4.1km by 1.9km and the Tonka-Magazine-Navajoh Prospects defined over a combined area of 6km by 1.2km. Both zones remain open in all directions.
The recently granted tenure, E69/3787 and E69/3862, which is 100% controlled by Rumble, extends the prospective untested mineralised strike (Navajoh Unconformity) by more than 100% with some 23km (see images 1 and 2) of additional strike to be tested.
Significantly, the newly granted tenements will allow Rumble to extend drilling west and northwest of the very largescale mineralisation footprint (4.1km by 1.9km and open) at the Chinook Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu Prospect. Drilling by Rumble has defined extensive Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation along the boundary of the current JV tenement and the recently granted 100% Rumble tenure.

Focus of Initial Exploration within the New Tenements
- The newly granted tenure (E69/3787 and E69/3862) comprises an additional 15km of strike potential of the prospective mineralised unconformity (Navajoh Unconformity Unit) host. This zone of interest, known as the "Sweetwater Trend", incorporates the potentially mineralised west and northwest extensions of the Chinook Prospect and some 12km further west, two historic drill holes – representing the only known historic drilling (see image 2) in the area. Anomalous results from these historic holes include:
- o 23m @ 0.57% Zn + Pb from 60m to EOH TRC68
- o 25m @ 0.54% Zn + Pb from 70m TDH31
- Initial reprocessing of airborne magnetic data over the Sweetwater Trend has inferred the magnetic features, and contrasts are identical to the features seen at Chinook
- Ongoing interpretation of the airborne magnetic data has identified multiple first order litho-structural targets
- Rumble is in advanced stages with TMPAC to complete heritage surveys to clear the upcoming planned drilling programs
- Once the heritage surveys are completed the focus of drilling will be to rapidly extend and define the limits of Chinook's large-scale Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu mineralised footprint further to the west
- A large surface geochemical survey is planned along the entire 15kms of the Sweetwater Trend which in combination with the airborne magnetic data should define additional new first order drill targets
- The newly granted tenure comprises over 8kms of potential mineralised strike southeast of the Tonka-Magazine-Navajoh Prospect zone known as the "Navajoh Southeast Trend". This zone has a combined mineralised footprint of over 6km by 1.2km and like Chinook, remains open in all directions (see image 2).
Earaheedy Project – Emerging World Class Base Metal System
Since the Chinook discovery in April 2021, drill scoping has rapidly uncovered an expanding Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu metal budget, and exploration continues to make discoveries and define new large-scale targets.
Rumble has potentially discovered an emerging world class base metal system having only partially tested one geological formation and a very small portion of the Earaheedy Project area. The granting of E69/3862 and E69/3787 represents a fourfold increase in the Earaheedy Project tenure, opening a vast new highly prospective area for new discoveries in all 5 mineralised styles outlined in image 3.
In December 2021, Rumble intersected significant copper mineralisation in a major new feeder fault discovery at the Chinook Prospect, which is a typical metal zonation characteristic of large-scale base metal systems.
Ultimately, the large-scale shallow and flat lying Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu mineralisation that the Company has discovered in the extensive Navajoh Unconformity Unit (represented by Targets 1 & 2 in image 3) at the Chinook, Tonka, Magazine and Navajoh Prospects may represent only the outer metal halo zone of a larger world class base metal system, which may exist in fertile litho-structural positions below the Navajoh Unconformity Unit (targets 4 and 5 in image 3). Targets 4&5 remain untested and will be a focus for the 2022 drilling campaign.

First Stage Exploration Target
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 Sulphide. 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.
| Earaheedy Zn-Pb Project –Exploration Target | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Range | Tonnes | Grade | ||
| Lower | 100,000,000 | 3.5% Zn + Pb Sulphide | ||
| Upper | 120,000,000 | 4.5% Zn + Pb Sulphide |
Table 1: Near surface exploration target down to 120 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 from some 50,000m of drilling completed by Rumble. Historic drilling includes sixty-four (64) 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 sulphide mineralisation;
- Over 45km's of prospective strike and open (refer image 1);
- 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.
