High impact drilling commences at the Earaheedy Project
Navajoh Southeast Trend - E69/3787 - RTR 100% - Feeder Targets
- The much anticipated extension RC drilling program has now commenced along the previously untested 9km Navajoh Southeast Trend
- An airborne geophysical survey previously highlighted gravity lows having a strong association with the existing high grade Zn-Pb feeder faults at the Tonka and Navajoh Zn-Pb deposits
- The high impact drilling program will focus on multiple gravity lows along strike of the Navajoh deposit which are interpreted to represent potential new mineralised high-grade feeder faults
Chinook Deposit - E69/3787 - RTR 100% - Feeder Targets at Depth
• An Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) sponsored diamond drill hole is set to provide essential stratigraphic and lithostructural vectoring information, whilst also testing potential mineralised feeder structures below the Chinook deposit that may host high grade MVT deposits.

Rumble Resources Ltd (ASX: RTR) ("Rumble" or "the Company") is pleased to announce drilling has recommenced on the emerging world-class Earaheedy Project, aimed at defining the limits of the emerging Zn-Pb-Ag base metal system and focused on the highgrade feeder targets along the untested 9km Navajoh Southeast Trend within the 100% RTR E69/3787.

Mr Shane Sikora, Managing Director of Rumble Resources commented:
"We are excited to get back into discovery mode and announce the resumption of drilling operations. We have a high impact program planned that will be focused on testing the high grade feeder targets along the Navajoh Southeast Trend. We will also have a specific focus on targeting high-grade Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) discoveries within the interpreted high angle feeder structures. The Earaheedy Project has exceptional near-term growth potential, and we are eager to advance what we believe will become a world class base metal asset."

RC Drilling commenced targeting high-grade feeders
A major extensional RC drilling campaign has recently commenced to test the 9km Navajoh Southeast Trend which will principally target the multiple gravity lows which are interpreted to represent high-grade feeder structures - refer to ASX release 16 February 2023 and Figure 2. Broad spaced extensional drilling will likewise test the potential southeast extension of the 11km long Tonka – Navajoh mineralised footprint.

Diamond drilling targeting High-Grade MVT deposits below the Chinook Deposit
A diamond drilling contract has been awarded with an initial 700m deep hole co-funded through an EIS grant of up to $150,000 of the drilling costs. The EIS scheme is an initiative by the WA Government to encourage innovative drilling by companies in greenfields regions of Western Australia.
The planned EIS diamond hole aims to intersect high grade MVT type mineralisation (mineralisation styles 3-5 in Figure 4) associated with the Chikamin Feeder Fault in the underlying Iroquois Carbonate Member whilst also providing key stratigraphic, geochemical and lithostructural understanding of the underlying Earaheedy Basin and basement stratigraphy.
This EIS hole represents the first deep diamond drilling by Rumble within the Earaheedy Project and has been positioned to test beneath the extensive 8km x 2km Chinook mineralised footprint (refer to figure 3) where the potential for structurally hosted high grade MVT deposits is considered high, based upon the recent Iroquois discovery (including 4m @ 27.0% Zn and 19.9g/t Ag) by Strickland Metals (ASX: STK, refer ASX announcement 17 May 2023) and the shallow high-grade intercepts at Chinook (e.g. 6m @ 10.5% Zn+Pb & 8m @ 14.6% Zn+Pb), which are supported by increasing Cu and Ag mineralisation proximal to the feeder structures.

Exceptional resource growth and Tier 1 scale potential
The Project has exceptional growth potential with only two (Types 1 and 2 – unconformity style mineralisation – refer to figure 4) of the five identified mineralised styles explored, and less than 35% of the 45km Unconformity Unit effectively tested by drilling.

Figure 4: Earaheedy Mineralisation Styles

Next Steps:
• Discovery drilling
- o RC drilling aimed at defining the limits of the emerging Zn-Pb-Ag base metal system within the Navajoh Unconformity Unit, with a focus on discovering new high-grade feeders (i.e., Kalitan, Chikamin, Colorado and Magazine Feeder Faults) within the currently outlined mineralised footprints in E69/3464, and along the untested 12km Sweetwater and 9km Navajoh Southeast Trends that occur within the 100% RTR E69/3787 and E69/3862 tenements
- o Diamond drilling is aimed at providing stratigraphic, geochemical and litho-structural information to assist in the search for high grade MVT and fault related mineralisation (Types 3-5 – see Figure 4) below the extensive unconformity style mineralisation already delineated at Earaheedy
- Metallurgical studies
- o Variability and composite samples provided by diamond and sonic drilling will be collected to confirm the simple and conventional flowsheet, and further improve the flotation performance. Additionally, value adding beneficiation work (dense media separation and ore sorting) will commence once sufficient volumes of cored material have arrived from site.
• Scoping studies
o Work will commence in the coming months on initial supporting scoping studies for the Earaheedy Project, which will review some of the early development scenarios/options.
About the Earaheedy Project
The emerging, world class Earaheedy Zn-Pb-Ag Project is located 110km northeast of Wiluna in Western Australia, with access to major highways, power (gas pipeline), rail, ports, airports and experienced mining workforce (see Figure 5). The Project includes tenement (E69/3464), which forms the Rumble Resources Ltd 75% / Zenith Minerals Ltd (ASX: ZNC) 25% Joint Venture ("JV") and E69/3787 and E69/3862, which are 100% owned by Rumble (see Figure 1).
Rumble announced a major discovery on 19th April 2021 and 2 years later to the day on 19th April 2023, announced a globally significant, pit constrained, maiden inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 94Mt @ 3.1% Zn+Pb and 4.1g/t Ag (at a 2% Zn+Pb cutoff) – refer to ASX release 19th April 2023 This maiden MRE confirmed the Earaheedy Project as one of the largest global zinc sulphide discoveries in the last decade.
The strength of the MRE is supported by a 41mt of higher-grade resources that could be part of a possible early development scenario, and a much larger 462mt resource that could potentially be upgraded via beneficiation, providing the project with significant future flexibility.
The Project has exceptional near-term growth potential, with the deposits open in all direction and less than 35% of the 45km mineralised Unconformity Unit (host to the current resources) effectively drill tested, whilst none of the thick underlying geologically fertile formations which could potentially host high-grade MVT deposits having been tested.
The sheer scale, optionality, location and extraordinary growth potential of Earaheedy could see the Project stamp itself as a world class, multi decade asset and play a key role in the future global renewable energy transition.
