ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

02 April 2025

More high-grade tungsten assays returned in historical core sampling at Western Queen

Highlights

  • Early sampling of historical Western Queen diamond core holes has returned multiple high-grade tungsten intercepts in hole WQSDD002 including:

  • 11m @ 0.93% WO3 and 4.19g/t Au from 169m (WQSDD002)

    • including 1m @ 2.49% WO3 and 0.41g/t Au from 172m
  • 0.6m @ 0.75% WO3 from 120.4m (WQSDD002)

  • 0.6m @ 0.73% WO3 and 0.85g/t Au from 146.6m (WQSDD002)

  • These assays complement the previously reported tungsten assays, including an exceptionally highgrade intersection in WQDD013[1] . Previous intercepts include:

  • 4.05m @ 4.58% WO3 and 0.72 g/t Au from 174.85m (WQDD013)

    • including 2.05m @ 8.71% WO3 and 1.38 g/t Au from 176.85m

    • and 0.65m @ 18.35% WO3 and 2.97 g/t Au from 176.85m

  • 12m @ 0.56% WO3 and 0.46g/t Au from 69m (WQRC032)

    • including 2m @ 2.48% WO3 and 0.12g/t Au from 70m
  • 3m @ 0.69% WO3 from 90m and 2m @ 1.55% WO3 from 159m (WQRC101)

  • 4m @ 0.65% WO3 and 0.11g/t Au from 116m (WQRC214)

  • Visible scheelite of varying concentrations and thicknesses have been observed in all historical diamond holes checked to date under ultraviolet light

  • The Company will review the data density of tungsten assays at Western Queen upon conclusion of Phase 2 drilling and the historical core sampling with the view of completing a JORC compliant maiden tungsten Mineral Resource Estimate in 2025

  • A preliminary metallurgical program on 500kg of high-grade scheelite bearing material collected from mining bunds at Western Queen South is underway

Peter Harold, Managing Director and CEO commented:

We are delighted with the early results of the re-assaying from the historical core at Western Queen which have returned more high-grade tungsten. The discovery of high-grade tungsten has been an added bonus and we look forward to receiving all the tungsten assays from the historical core together with gold and tungsten assays from the current drilling program. To fast track our understanding of the tungsten mineralisation at Western Queen we have commenced preliminary metallurgical testwork which will assist in determining the optimal processing route for this material.

Tungsten assays from preliminary historical core sampling

The Company has recently commenced sampling 78 historical diamond holes (totalling 7,823m) drilled at Western Queen by previous owners, with assays from the first three holes returning a wide, high-grade intercept in WQSDD002 of 11m @ 0.93% WO3 and 4.19g/t Au from 169m, including 1m @ 2.49% WO3 and 0.41g/t Au from 172m (see Figure 1).

No pXRF data and only very scarce previous laboratory assays for tungsten exists for all the historical diamond holes at Western Queen. The Company is now in the process of systematically reviewing every historical hole, completing pXRF analysis and sampling any anomalous intervals containing visible scheelite under ultraviolet light. Holes proximal to Western Queen South have been prioritised and pleasingly, from the small number of holes reviewed thus far all have contained visible scheelite. Subsequently, samples have been sent for tungsten (fusion XRF) analysis. Concurrently, the Company is completing the Phase 2 diamond and RC drilling program at Western Queen, targeting extensions to existing gold and tungsten mineralisation.

==> picture [477 x 256] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1 – WQSDD002 from 172-173m grading 2.49% WO3 under UV light

Upon completing both the Phase 2 drilling program and the historical core sampling, the Company aims to review the spatial data density of tungsten assays and undertake a maiden JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for tungsten.

Tungsten mineralisation at Western Queen remains open in all directions , with Western Queen South emerging as a primary target area for tungsten mineralisation at the Project. The Company has also recently initiated a technical study on the mineralisation styles and timing of the tungsten mineralisation, together with a preliminary metallurgical testwork program using 500kg of scheelite bearing material collected from mining bunds and waste dumps at Western Queen South.

The broad high-grade intercept returned in WQSDD002 complements the previously reported tungsten mineralisation within Rumble’s drillhole WQDD013 ( refer to Figure 2 and ASX announcement “High-grade Tungsten Discovery at Western Queen” 6 August 2024 ) which returned a spectacular intersection of:

  • 4.05m @ 4.58% WO3 and 0.72 g/t Au from 174.85m including 2.05m @ 8.71% WO3; and

  • 1.38 g/t Au from 176.85m, including 0.65m @ 18.35% WO3 and 2.97 g/t Au from 176.85m.

as well as previously reported intervals from drill pulp assays ( refer to ASX announcement “Tungsten Discovery at Western Queen Confirmed” 2 September 2024 ) including:

  • 12m @ 0.56% WO3 and 0.46g/t Au from 69m in WQRC032, with a high-grade interval of 2m @ 2.48% WO3 and 0.12g/t Au from 70m, and

  • 3m @ 0.69% WO3 from 90m; and 2m @ 1.55% WO3 from 159m in WQRC101.

==> picture [486 x 192] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2 - WQDD013 (0.65m @ 18.35 WO3) scheelite intersection under UV light

Comparing the significant tungsten intersections returned to date at Western Queen with worldwide tungsten resources for both operating mines and development projects suggests that Western Queen may contain a significant tungsten resource.

Western Queen Next Steps

Gold

  • Complete the Phase 2 drilling program of up to 4,000m RC and 2,000m diamond drilling focused on growing the gold resources with drilling targeting the new lodes at Princess and depth extensions of Western Queen South

Tungsten

  • Complete the relogging, pXRF analysis and sampling of the historical diamond core and locate intervals of tungsten mineralisation not previously analysed;

  • Complete the preliminary tungsten metallurgical testwork program; and

  • Report a maiden tungsten mineral resource estimate in 2025.

About Tungsten

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). China has recently moved to impose export restrictions of tungsten on the U.S in retaliation to imposed import tariffs, this could further reduce the available supply of tungsten to western markets. Projected forecasts have annual growth of up to 7.5%pa compound for the tungsten market - see Figure 3.

Tungsten supply from China is predicted to decline due to diminishing reserves, 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 and high tungsten steel surrounding the reactors); and

  • Military applications.

About Western Queen

The Western Queen Gold Project (“ Western Queen ” or the “ Project ”) lies 110km NW of Mt Magnet within the Yalgoo mineral field of Western Australia. 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 plant processed the historical 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 Western Queen is the Wardawarra Project (100% Rumble). The Wardawarra Project consists of a single granted exploration license (E20/967) and three exploration licence applications (ELA59/2929, ELA59/2816 and E59/2943).

The Project is located within a 100km radius of three gold processing plants (see Figure 4). The closest plant is Dalgaranga (48km by road) which has a capacity of 2.5 Mtpa. The Checkers plant (Mt Magnet) has a current capacity of 1.9 Mtpa and the Tuckabianna plant (near Cue) has a capacity of 1.2 Mtpa.

Figure 4 - Location Plan of the Western Queen Gold Project

The two mined deposits at the Western Queen Gold Project had a combined historical 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.

==> picture [130 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

On 15 October 2024, Rumble announced an updated mineral resource (indicated and inferred) of 4.42Mt @ 2.02 g/t Au for 286,600 oz[2] (see Table 2).

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 (see Figure 5). 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 historical production.

==> picture [461 x 406] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5 – Western Queen Gold Project – Resources, Prospects and Tenure over 1VD RTP Air Magnetics

The skarn is tremolite after diopside and plunges moderately to the south. At the Western Queen South deposit, highgrade gold potassic altered quartz-sulphide lodes have developed in fine to medium grain amphibolite and plunge moderately to the south.

2 ASX release date 15 October 2024 Western Queen Gold Resources increased 76% to 287koz @ 2.02g/t

==> picture [130 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

Rumble considers there is significant potential for continuity of the high-grade gold zones. To date, the deepest drilling has been 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 in Figure 5, proximal and along strike of the largely untested Western Queen Shear Zone.
