Tungsten Discovery at Western Queen Confirmed

Highlights

  • Tungsten assays received from selected drill pulp samples from seven holes drilled in 2021 have confirmed a potentially significant high-grade tungsten discovery at Western Queen
  • Significant assay intersections include:
    • o 12m @ 0.56% WO3 and 0.46g/t Au from 69m (WQRC032)
      • including 2m @ 2.48% WO3 and 0.12g/t Au from 70m
    • o 3m @ 0.69% WO3 from 90m and 2m @ 1.55% WO3 from 159m (WQRC101)
    • o 12m @ 0.34% WO3 and 3.22g/t Au from 202m (WQRC178)
      • including 7m @ 0.49% WO3 and 4.71g/t Au from 206m
    • o 2m @ 0.75% WO3 and 0.48g/t Au from 81m (WQRC019)
  • The pulp assays complement the exceptionally high-grade intersection in recently reported drill hole WQDD013**1** :
    • o 4.05m @ 4.58% WO3, 0.72 g/t Au from 174.85m**;** including
    • o 2.05m @ 8.71% WO3, 1.38 g/t Au from 176.85m**;** and
    • o 0.65m @ 18.35% WO3, 2.97 g/t Au from 176.85m
  • These new assays are largely coincident with a continuous tungsten anomaly outlined over a 2km area defined from drillhole XRF data and parallel the Western Queen Shear and known high-grade gold mineralisation
  • The width and grade tenor of significant tungsten assays received at Western Queen to date suggest that Western Queen could host a significant tungsten resource
  • Review of the Company's pXRF analytical data has shown some 87 reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drill (DD) holes completed by Rumble reported >500ppm W
  • The Company now plans to further analyse historical drilling including RC drill pulps and a substantial diamond core library held in storage for tungsten, which will likely constitute the bulk of the data required to classify an initial resource estimate, if one can be determined
  • Tungsten is a critical and strategic metal given its relative scarcity, supply risk, defence applications and limited substitution options

Peter Harold, Managing Director and CEO commented "the discovery of tungsten at Western Queen has demonstrated the huge optionality that we have in our extensive tenement portfolio. The assay results from the 2021 drill pulp samples have confirmed that we have made a significant tungsten discovery at Western Queen. This is brilliant work by our exploration team and we look forward to receiving further assays from the substantial amount of existing drill core and pulps. Best case scenario, positive results from this future analysis could allow us to calculate a resource without any additional drilling.

Whilst the tungsten is a great new discovery, we already have substantial gold resources at Western Queen on a granted Mining Leases within trucking distance of a number of mills. Our primary focus is therefore to monetise these resources in the near term."

Rumble Resources Limited (ASX: RTR) ("Rumble" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the return of significant high-grade tungsten assays from selected pulp samples of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling completed by the Company in 2021. The assays confirm a potentially significant tungsten discovery that is spatially associated with the known gold resources at the Western Queen Gold Project.

Western Queen Tungsten Discovery

Tungsten (W) laboratory assays have been received for selected pulp samples from an initial seven holes of previous RC drilling completed by the Company in 2021 as part of the Western Queen gold resource drill program. The initial seven holes were selected based on appropriate spatial coverage across the 900m strike length of high tenor >1000ppm W in pXRF (refer Figure 1) and having at least one sample in the hole greater than 5000ppm W in the pXRF database.

Significant intersections from the pulp samples include 12m @ 0.56% WO3, 0.46g/t Au from 69m, with the higher grade section of 2m @ 2.48% WO3 and 0.12g/t Au from 70m in WQRC032, 12m @ 0.34% WO3 and 3.22g/t Au from 202m, with a higher grade section of 7m @ 0.49% WO3 and 4.71g/t Au from 206m in WQRC178, 9m @ 0.22% WO3 plus 0.35g/t Au from 76m with a higher grade section of 2m @ 0.75% WO3 and 0.48g/t Au from 81m in WQRC178 and 5m @ 0.31% WO3, 0.31g/t Au from 220m in WQRC176( refer to Figure 1 and Table 1).

The significant intersections from the seven holes of pulp samples complement the previously reported tungsten mineralisation within drillhole **WQDD013 (**Refer to Rumble Resources Limited ASX announcement High-grade Tungsten Discovery at Western Queen 6 August 2024) which returned a spectacular intersection of 4.05m @ 4.58% WO3, 0.72 g/t Au from 174.85m; including 2.05m @ 8.71% WO3, 1.38 g/t Au from 176.85m; including 0.65m @ 18.35% WO3, 2.97 g/t Au from 176.85m(refer to Figure 2).

Figure 1 - Western Queen Project – Plan highlighting contoured maximum pXRF W in drill holes and location and intercepts of significant W intersections from pulp samples and WQDD013.

Encouragingly, all seven holes of pulps samples returned significant intercepts grading greater than 0.1% WO3. While geological investigations are preliminary, the tungsten mineralisation contains large aggregates of scheelite grains (up to 5mm) occurring parallel to the main foliation trend. The mineralisation is essentially multiple scheelite-pyroxene (tremolite)+/-gold endoskarn zones associated with the Western Queen orogenic shear zone (host to gold mineralisation) within dominant Archaean mafic amphibolite lithologies. Tungsten mineralisation occurs spatially proximal to gold mineralisation, however high-grade tungsten mineralisation does not always corelate with high-grade gold mineralisation The skarn development is thought to have been a later stage to the main gold event at Western Queen.

All previous drill holes completed by Rumble as part of the 2021 Western Queen gold resource estimate of 2.1Mt @ 2.42 g/t Au for 163,200oz (refer Rumble Resources ASX announcement Western Queen Resource Upgrade to 163,000oz gold 2nd August 2021- refer Table 2) have subsequently been analysed for tungsten (W) by pXRF. Review of the pXRF analytical data has shown some 87 \RC and diamond holes completed by Rumble have reported >500ppm W. Analytical results from pXRF analysers are indicative and may not reflect the true tungsten (W) grade. Comparing the laboratory tungsten grade for the recently returned pulp samples with the original pXRF tungsten grade indicates that the laboratory assays are significantly higher on average suggesting that the pXRF analyser may routinely under report the true tungsten grade as the small sample point of the pXRF analyser likely often misses the coarse grained disseminated scheelite grains.

Comparing the significant tungsten intersections returned to date at Western Queen with worldwide tungsten resources for both operating mines and development projects (refer Figure 3) suggests that Western Queen may contain a significant tungsten resource. The worldwide resource grades of operating mines average between 0.20%- 0.30% WO3 , while the significant intersections returned at Western Queen including 4.05m @ 4.58% WO3, 12m @ 0.56% WO3 including 2m @ 2.48% WO3, 12m @ 0.34% WO3 including 7m @ 0.49% WO3 and the 900m strike length of high tenor tungsten anomalism grading >1000ppm in pXRF indicate that a potential tungsten resource at Western Queen will likely be high-grade compared to worldwide projects. The Company has retained the comprehensive pulp library of previous gold only assaying completed for the 2021 gold resource. In addition, the Company has access to the historic core library of diamond holes drilled at Western Queen by previous operators. Assaying both the pulp library and historic core for tungsten would likely constitute the bulk of data needed to classify a tungsten resource with only minimal direct drilling costs needed.

Tungsten Next Steps

  • Investigate re-assaying of all pulps with anomalous pXRF tungsten from the previous Rumble gold resource drilling programs.
  • Investigate previous diamond core completed both by the Company and by historic operators for intervals of tungsten mineralisation not previously analysed.

About Tungsten⃰

Tungsten is classified as "critical raw material" and is subject to high supply risk and high economic importance (considered the most important metal on the critical materials list). The supply of tungsten (currently 78,000t annually) is highly dependent on China (produces 81% of the worlds tungsten). Forecast annual demand growth for tungsten averages 3.5%pa compound however, certain projections have a more robust forecast of up to 8%pa compound.

Tungsten supply from China is forecast to decline due to diminishing reserves and grades making sources outside of China significantly more valuable. Uses for tungsten include:

  • Nano Tungsten Oxide for battery cathode and anode (Li-ion) manufacturing;
  • Niobium Tungsten Oxide in batteries to reduce charge time and increase power density;
  • Tungsten Hexafluoride gas to optimise all semiconductor production;
  • Tungsten wire to essential replace diamond wire for photovoltaic cell silica wafer production;
  • Tungsten Oxide coating to enhance hydrogen fuel cell durability;
  • Use in thermonuclear energy excellent heat conductivity and very high melting temperature(includes both 100% tungsten (100-200 tonnes per reactor) and high tungsten steel surrounding the reactors) and
  • Military applications.

In Australia, tungsten is currently being produced on a small scale at King Island (Bass Strait) by Group 6 Minerals. The Dolphin mine (King Island) has produced tungsten from scheelite intermittently since 1917 and is considered Australia's largest and highest-grade deposit with a current resource of 9.6Mt @ 0.9% WO3 2 .

Other resources in Australia include Mt Carbine (producer – EQ Resources - Qld) which has intermittently produced tungsten (wolframite) since the 1890's and currently has a resource of 28.7Mt @ 0.3% WO3 3 .

Western Queen South – WQDD015

Assays have been received for the final diamond hole, WQDD015, completed as part of a four hole diamond program targeting extensions to mineralisation at the Western Queen South gold resource. WQDD015 targeted a 60m downplunge extension of the high grade Western Queen South gold lode. During drilling, WQDD015 lifted uncontrollably from an initial -61° dip to finish at close to -50° dip at end of hole (lifted over 10°). This resulted in the actual pierce point being some 37 meters above the planned pierce point, and ultimately the drill hole intersecting into a lower grade domain evident in the returned assay result of 7m @ 1.53g/t Au from 265m. The Western Queen South gold deposit remains open down-plunge and down-dip. Future proposed drilling will attempt to better account for the expected lifting of the dip angle when targeting down-plunge extensions to the open high grade mineralisation.

Western Queen Gold Next Steps

  • Complete a revised Mineral Resource Estimate with updated open pit and underground stope optimisations using a gold price of A$3,500 (closer to spot) compared to the A$2,700 used in the 2021 Resources Estimate.
  • Review options for funding partner arrangements to fast track open pit mining at Western Queen.
  • Drill hole planning to complete a high impact drilling program targeting the newly recognised parallel lode at Western Queen South and further high-grade targets between Western Queen Central and Western Queen South. Drilling is expected to commence during October.

About Western Queen Project

The Western Queen Gold Project lies 110km NW of Mt Magnet within the Yalgoo mineral field of Western Australia ("the Project"). The Project comprises of two contiguous mining leases (M59/45 and M59/208) for a total area of 9.8 km². In addition to the mining leases, there includes L59/40 (Miscellaneous License) which covers a portion of the original haul road between Western Queen and Dalgaranga. The Dalgaranga mill processed the historic ore reserves from the Western Queen Central deposit. The original haul road is still open and is the main access into the Project. Rumble holds 100% equity in the Project. Surrounding the Western Queen Project is the Wardawarra Project (100% Rumble). The Wardawarra Project consists of a single granted exploration license (E20/967) and two exploration license applications (ELA59/2443 and ELA59/2816).

The Project is located within a 100km radius of three operating gold processing mills (Figure 5). The closest mill is the Dalgaranga Mill (48km by road) which has a capacity of 2.5 Mtpa. The Checkers Mill (Mt Magnet) has a capacity of 1.9 Mtpa and the Tuckabianna Mill has a capacity of 1.2 Mtpa. The two mined deposits at the Western Queen Gold Project have a combined historic production of 880,000t @ 7.6 g/t Au for 215,000oz. The Western Queen (Central) Mine produced 660,000t @ 8.9 g/t Au for 189,500oz and the Western Queen South Mine (from two stages) produced 220,000t @ 3.6 g/t Au for 25,500oz.

In August 2021, Rumble announced an updated mineral resource (indicated and inferred) of:

2.1 Mt @ 2.42 g/t Au for 163,200 oz4 – refer to Table 2

Figure 5 - Location Plan of the Western Queen Gold Project

Within both the Western Queen Project area and the surrounding Wardawarra Project there is high potential to add significantly to the current resource. Gold mineralisation is associated with a structural jog zone within a major orogenic shear which trends north-south along the Wardawarra Greenstone Belt (refer Figure 6). The structural jog cuts across amphibolite (after basalt and dolerite) and ultramafic lithologies. At the Western Queen Central deposit, a very high-grade gold skarn has developed within the ultramafic rocks, with an average grade of 8.9g/t Au recorded in historic production. The skarn is tremolite after diopside and plunges moderately to the south. At the Western Queen South deposit, high-grade gold potassic altered quartz-

sulphide (with significant tungsten) lodes have developed in fine to medium grain amphibolite and plunge also moderately to the south.

Rumble considers there is significant potential for plunge continuity of the high-grade gold zones. To date, the deepest drilling completed was below the Western Queen Central deposit which returned 4.7m @ 6.06 g/t Au from 485.5m (approximately 430m below surface) which included 0.7m @ 26.6 g/t Au from 488.3m.

Potential for new discoveries and gold additional resources is highlighted proximal and along strike of the Western Queen Shear Zone below in Figure 6.
