1. Western Queen High Grade Gold Project, Mt Magnet, Western Australia
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 mining leases M59/45 and M59/208 (Rumble has an option to acquire 100% of the Project from Ramelius Resources) and 2 exploration tenements E20-0967 and E59-2443 which are 100% owned by RTR. The Project is located within a 110km radius of three operating gold processing mills (see image 1). The closest mill is the Dalgaranga Mill (48km) 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 Project hosts the entire Warda Warra north-south trending mineralised greenstone belt which is 35km in length and up to 3km in width. The greenstone belt hosts the mineralised Western Queen Shear Zone which is up to 50m in width and holds a series of high-grade gold structures including two mined deposits for 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.
An updated mineral resource (Payne Geological Services Pty Ltd – Independent) was completed in January 2018. Rumble has reviewed and verified the indicated and inferred resource and estimates remaining resources beneath both mined deposits of 962,000t @ 3.9 g/t Au for 120,000oz. See previous ASX announcement dated 6[th] August 2019 “Option to Acquire High-Grade Western Queen Gold Project” for further details about the Project.

Drilling Identifies Multiple High-Grade Gold Shoot Targets
During the quarter Stage 2 drilling was completed by Rumble which included nineteen (19) RC drill holes (total of 2148m) and four (4) diamond core drill holes (total of 1944.2m). Refer previous ASX announcement 20 May 2020 for full details. The two stages of drilling have been successful in making high grade gold discoveries, but just as important, provided a greater geological understanding of the controlling structure(s) and deposition styles associated with the high-grade gold mineralisation. Six (6) compelling high-grade gold zones and targets have been delineated providing high confidence in finding new, near-term high-grade gold discoveries.
1. Western Queen Central – High-Grade Gold Shoot
-
Two stages of drilling by Rumble has confirmed the down-plunge continuity and position of the high-grade gold shoot providing confidence of further gold mineralisation at depth which remains open:
-
6m @ 34.24 g/t Au from 354m (WQRC007D)
-
6.3m @ 36.09 g/t Au from 305.7m (WQD-1072)
-
11.8m @ 16.08 g/t Au from 340.4m (WQD-1089)
2. Western Queen Central North – Potential Strike Extension of Shallow High-Grade Gold Mineralisation
-
The new “blind” shallow high-grade gold intersected 250m north of the historic Western Queen Central
-
(8m @ 7.22 g/t Au from 49m - WQRC026) is open to the north.
-
Potential for repeats of the historic high-grade gold Western Queen Central Shoot to the north. ( historic open pit production – 190,000oz @ 8.9 g/t Au )
3. Western Queen Central North – Potential High-Grade Gold Shoot
-
Immediately north of the Western Queen Central shoot and open cut historic drilling includes:
-
7m @ 60.6 g/t Au from 70m (WQJC-32)
-
6m @ 37.34 g/t Au from 50m (QNC-10310-1)
-
11m @ 16.8 g/t Au from 51m (WQP-1055)
-
Partially blind high-grade zones are truncated & transposed by reverse faulting and pegmatite jacking
-
Zones are inferred to continue down-plunge as high-grade shoots below the faulting
-
Potential repeat of the historic high-grade gold Western Queen Central Shoot ( historic open pit production – 190,000oz @ 8.9 g/t Au )
4. Western Princess - Potential Shallow High-Grade Gold Shoot
5m @ 3.64 g/t Au from 52m (WQRC031)
-
3m @ 19.9 g/t Au from 8m (WQRC011)
-
Drilling has shown the shear zone is wide with multiple structurally controlled shoots - there is high potential to define deeper plunging shoots
5. Western Queen Central Oxide - Potential Shallow High-Grade Gold Shoot
-
2m @ 40.37 g/t Au from 4m (WQY-85)
-
3m@ 10.42 g/t Au from 1m (WQY-123)
-
5m @ 5.11 g/t Au (Inc 1m @ 16.9 g/t Au) from 365.5m (WQRC023D) – Rumble - interpretation indicates drilling clipped high-grade shoot at depth
-
Potential to define a high-grade shoot below the oxide mineralisation
6. Cranes - Potential Shallow High-Grade Gold Shoot
14m @ 4.87 g/t Au from surface (CRAC015)
- Potential to define a high-grade shoot below laterite mineralisation

500% Increase in Landholding Extends Western Queen Project Strike to 35km’s
Subsequent to the end of the quarter Rumble secured 100% of strategic tenement applications E20-0967 and E592443, which now form part of the Western Queen Project (refer ASX announcement 16 July 2020). Details include:
-
100% acquisition of strategic tenement applications E20-0967 and E59-2443 secured, extending contiguous coverage of the highly prospective north and south extensions of the Western Queen Project
-
The tenements cover the entire Warda Warra north-south trending mineralised greenstone belt expanding the strike from 5.5km to 35km an increase of over 500%
-
No previous drilling has tested the new inferred position of the Western Queen Shear Zone north and south along strike from the main Western Queen Project area
-
Tenements are prospective for high-grade deposits similar to the Western Queen Central Open Pit Mine which produced 660,000t @ 8.9 g/t Au for 189,500oz
-
Rumble secured the ground from the vendor for a total of $150,000, consisting of $50,000 in cash and 755,199 fully paid ordinary shares, being $100,000 in share value calculated using a 5-day VWAP.

Next Steps- Major Drill Program Commenced
Subsequent to the Stage 2 Drill program, during the quarter Rumble announced that a major drill programme has commenced at the Western Queen High-Grade Gold Project following up the high-grade gold shoot drill targets identified in Stage 2 (refer ASX announcement 24 June 2020). The multi-rig drill programme will comprise of approximately 12,000m of diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling, testing a range of high-grade gold targets. RC drilling will focus on multiple high-grade gold shoot targets, and the diamond drilling will focus on potential resource extension down-plunge of the Western Queen Central deposit. The drill program highlights include:
-
Minimum 12,000 metres of diamond and reverse circulation drilling
-
Two drill rigs on-site initially with capacity to increase
-
Defining high-grade gold shoot targets between the Western Queen Central and Western Queen South Deposits
-
High-grade gold resource extensions down plunge at Western Queen Central Deposit
-
Targeting potential blind high-grade gold shoots between the Western Queen Central Deposit and the Cranes Prospect
2. Fraser Range Ni-Cu-Au JV Projects with IGO – Independence Group
The Thunderstorm and Thunderdome projects form the Fraser Range project located some 250km SSE of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. Independence Group NL (ASX: IGO) has 70% and RTR 30%.

3. Lamil Cu-Au JV Project with AIC Mines, Paterson Province, Western Australia
Rumble has an earn-in and exploration joint venture agreement with AIC Mines Limited (ASX: A1M) (“AIC”) in respect of the Lamil Project, located in between the major mining operations of the Nifty Cu mine and the large Telfer Au-Cu mine within the Paterson Province, East Pilbara, Western Australia.
Under the terms of the earn-in and exploration joint venture agreement AIC can earn a 50% interest by spending $6 million over 4 years. Thereafter AIC can earn a further 15% by spending $4 million over 1 year if Rumble elects not to contribute at 50%. The key terms of the earn-in and exploration joint venture agreement are described in the Company’s ASX announcement dated 22 July 2019.
The Paterson Province is one of the most highly endowed yet under-explored mineral provinces in Australia. It hosts the world-class Telfer goldcopper mine, Nifty copper mine and the recent discoveries of the Winu Copper- Gold-Silver Deposit by Rio Tinto and the Havieron Gold-Copper Deposit by the Greatland Gold plc – Newcrest Mining Joint Venture, both of which are under cover ( approx. 100m and 400m respectively), have resulted in increased exploration activity in the region.
==> picture [384 x 441] intentionally omitted <==
Image 6: Location of the Lamil Project
During the quarter tenement E45/5270, the northern tenement of the two tenements that make up the Lamil Project, was granted during the June Quarter. This completes the permitting of the project area and allows for commencement of field work over the full 1,280km[2] tenure.
Regional Setting
The Lamil Project occupies a prominent regional structural “hinge zone” which is clearly defined by a significant flexure in a set of major belt parallel structures. The structures trend NNW in E45/5270 (the northern tenement) and swing NW in E45/5271 (the southern tenement). The hinge transition is dissected by a series of major NE trending structures extending through the tenement package and linking across to the Telfer gold-copper deposit. The most noteworthy of these NE cross structures correlates with the well documented Telfer “Main” Dome structures and is traceable for over 30 kilometres to the northern boundary of the Lamil Dome. These features present a potential locus of deep crustal faulting and an associated plumbing system for circulating and trapping mineralising fluids (refer Image 7).

Image 7- Regional Review – Gravity Derived Edges
Geophysics
During the quarter a synthesis of all available geophysical data was completed in April 2020. The work incorporated a range of open file regional scale data sets together with prospect scale surveys completed by the joint venture parties during 2019. This work refined the existing Lamil Dome P1 and P4 targets (now referred to as the Lamil Main and NE Domes), the P2 Dome and the P3 structural corridor. 15 high priority targets have now been defined (see Image 8):
-
4 Priority 1 Targets have been identified in areas where depth to basement is interpreted to be shallow, i.e. <60m, and confidence in modelling is highest. These are “drill ready”.
-
11 Priority 2 Targets have been identified in areas where depth to basement is also interpreted to be shallow, i.e. 60m, and confidence in modelling is moderate. These areas will be considered for first pass drill testing and/or additional ground-based gravity and passive seismic acquisition and trial IP surveys.
Geochemistry
A wide-spaced (600m x 600m) surface geochemical survey using the clay dominant ultra-fine fraction of the soil was completed during November-December 2019. The results identified 5 coherent multi-element geochemical anomalies (see image 3) displaying all of the features considered indicative of Intrusive Related Gold-Copper mineral systems such as those associated with Telfer, Havieron and Winu.
The survey was completed over an area of 80 square kilometres (see Image 8) centred on the Lamil Main Dome (the P1 Target) within E45/5271. The area is covered by transported material with depths to basement ranging between 30m and 70m – hence conventional surface sampling would be ineffective. The survey was designed to target the clay dominant “ultra-fine” fraction of the soil as it is this component which absorbs pathfinder elements released via the processes of hydromorphic dispersion from weathered, buried mineralisation. The survey has identified widespread geochemical anomalism across a number of previously reported geophysical targets and has also identified several new target areas.
11
Five large, robust and coherent Geochemical Target Areas (LGCTA1 – 5) displaying coincident multi-element anomalism, including gold and copper, consistent with the recognised pathfinder signatures of Intrusive Related Gold-Copper Mineral Systems have been defined.
==> picture [404 x 286] intentionally omitted <==
Image 8. Priority Drill Targets
Lamil Dome – Target Areas – Key Targets of interest
The broad dimensions of the Lamil Dome are similar to those of Telfer, being 8 km long and 4 km wide with its long axis, like Telfer, oriented NW. The synthesis of detailed magnetic, gravity and passive seismic data has greatly enhanced its internal and proximal details. Rather than being a single antiform, the Lamil Dome is now interpreted to comprise an en-echelon, asymmetric, double-plunging, antiform-synform complex with subordinate domal features situated within and adjacent to the larger dome outline.
These features are considered analogous to the similarly sub-ordinate “Main” and “West” Domes located within the broader Telfer Dome outline. Importantly, these subordinate domes are host to the bulk of gold and copper mineralisation at Telfer. The long axis of the Lamil Dome marks a major NW trending fault (west-side down) which at its centre converges with several major N-S and WNW trending second order splays. This position is highlighted as a Priority 1 drill target. A major breakthrough has been the recognition of a previously unmapped regional scale NE-SW trending structure which is traceable for at least 30 kilometres from the centre of Telfer through the northern margin of the Lamil Dome.
==> picture [410 x 164] intentionally omitted <==

Next Steps
The first phase of drilling at the Lamil Project remains on schedule to commence in September 2020 subject to Heritage Surveys being completed as planned during August 2020. The focus of this inaugural campaign will be the Priority 1 and Priority 2 target areas as currently defined within the southern portion of the project area (E45/5271). This will require a combination of Reverse Circulation and Diamond Core drilling.
4. Munarra Gully Au-Cu-Ag-Zn Project, Cue District, Murchison, WA
The Munarra Gully Project is located some 50km NNE of the town of Cue within the Murchison Goldfields of Western Australia. Rumble owns 80% on E51-1677 and 100% of ELA51/1919 and ELA51/1927.
Amaryllis Au-Cu-Ag Prospect
During the quarter Rumble completed a maiden reconnaissance RC drill programme at the Amaryllis Au-CuAg Prospect that lies within E51/1919 (RTR 100%), which was designed to confirm significant gold-coppersilver mineralisation associated with historic drilling and to assess the potential for large scale economic gold copper silver deposits. Refer previous ASX announcement dated 23 April 2020.
Historic drilling by explorers focused on gold, however, limited partial assaying for Cu and Ag by these explorers, and the Au-Cu association identified by Rumble at the White Rose prospect, highlighted the potential for base metal to be associated with the gold occurrences at the Amaryllis Au-Cu-Ag Prospect. The mafic hosted mineralisation style detailed in historic open file exploration reports was not encountered, instead felsic to intermediate volcaniclastics with high level associated porphyritic intrusives was found in all RC drill holes completed by Rumble. Rumble’s drilling successfully confirmed a large-scale Au-Cu-Ag system and identified the mineralisation style has the potential for both large-scale shear hosted Au-Cu-Ag sulphide lode type and Au-Cu-Ag-Zn VMS type deposits.

Drilling Confirms Large-Scale Gold Copper Silver System
Rumble’s maiden reconnaissance RC drill programme at the Amaryllis Prospect intercepted multiple high grade Au and significant Au-Cu-Ag zones:
-
confirming a large-scale Au-Cu-Ag system; along with
-
oidentifying two (2) large-scale deposit-type targets.
Intersections include:
High-grade Gold mineralisation :
-
5m @ 11.67 g/t Au from 161m (AMRC008)
-
2m @ 13.45 g/t Au from 92m (AMRC012)
-
4m @ 6.21 g/t Au from 94m (AMRC006 – 4m composites)
-
Zones of significant Gold-Copper-Silver mineralisation :
-
8m @ 1.94 g/t Au, 0.68% Cu, 9.5 g/t Ag from 142m (AMRC007)
-
8m @ 0.88 g/t Au, 1.11% Cu, 11.8 g/t Ag from 102m (AMRC003)

14
-
Over 1500m of Au-Cu-Ag mineralised strike confirmed. Completely open along strike and down-dip (down-plunge).
-
The Au-Cu-Ag mineralisation is in wide alteration zones up to 50m true width and hosted in felsic to intermediate volcaniclastics and porphyritic felsic intrusives.
-
RC drilling has demonstrated strong strike and dip length continuity of Au-Cu-Ag mineralisation.
-
Two (2) target styles of Au-Cu-Ag-(Zn) mineralisation have been identified:
1. Au-Cu-Ag-Zn VMS Type Multi-element assaying from the current drilling has identified strongly elevated zinc within the hanging wall to the gold-copper-silver. Combined with the interpretation the mineralisation developed close to the transition of felsic to intermediate volcanics, sediments and high-level feeders, this infers the mineralisation likely represents a significant fertile VMS horizon which has the potential to develop Au-Cu-Ag-Zn-VMS deposits.
2. Orogenic Shear Related Au-Cu-Ag Sulphide Lode Type Wide widths of alteration with multiple Au Cu Ag sulphide zones is inferred to represent overprinting of the earlier VMS mineralisation by shearing. There is potential for large-scale orogenic shear related Au-Cu-Ag deposit(s) to develop/overprint the earlier VMS horizon along strike.

Large Scale Zn-Pb-Ag Deposit Potential
-
At Chinook, higher-grade Zn-Pb confirmed over 200m horizontal width and up to 12m vertical true thickness (within 41m Zn-Pb broad zone)
-
Magazine and Chinook are 10.5km apart with the Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation completely open
-
The Project covers over 40km of sandstone unconformity prospective strike - remains untested and completely open
-
Higher-grade Zn-Pb identified in sandstone channel and facies zones which are conducive to developing higher-grade Zn-Pb mineralisation – New Target Zones
-
All these points combined highlights the potential for multiple large tonnage, flat lying, shallow deposits and supports our exploration target

Corporate
As at the end of the quarter Rumble had $6.19 million cash at hand. This does not include $558,000 which formed part of the placement that was received after the quarter nor a further $120,000 in related party placement funds that is subject to shareholder approval at a shareholder meeting to be held on 28 August 2020.
Cash outflows for the June Quarter totalled $2.19 million across exploration activity (72%), staff costs (8%), corporate administration (6%) and costs associated with a capital raising (14%). Payments to related parties and their associates totalled $122,000 consisting of Executive and Non-executive Directors fees and salaries, and superannuation payments.
Cash inflows for the June Quarter totalled $5.47 million consisting of a capital raising (99%) and bank interest and government incentives provided in relation to COVID-19 relief package (1%).
Capital Raising
Rumble announced a capital raising of $6,045,000, by way of the issue of 65,000,000 new fully paid ordinary shares at $0.093 per share. The majority of this capital raising was completed prior to 30 June 2020, with a portion completed on 8 July 2020 and the balance subject to shareholder approval at a meeting to be held on 28 August 2020.
R&D Lodgement
Rumble’s 2019-2020 R&D claim application is in progress and is expected to be lodged during the September 2020 quarter.
JMEI
During the quarter Rumble submitted an application to participate in the Junior Minerals Exploration Incentive (JMEI). Per section 418-101 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, the Commissioner has made a determination to allocate $1,040,000 of exploration credits to Rumble Resources Limited for the 2021 income year. These exploration credits can subsequently be issued to eligible investors who invest new capital in the form of new ordinary shares after during the 2021 financial year. Exploration credits will be issued to the eligible investors in proportion to their investment. The JMEI Credits for the 2021 financial year cannot be distributed to holders of ordinary shares who obtained their interest before the issue date of this letter.
In respect of the $632,500 JMEI credits received by Rumble for the 2020 financial year, Rumble will now proceed in preparation to distribute these JMEI credits, including completion of its 30 June 2020 audit and preparation of the tax return. The maximum amount of exploration credits Rumble can create for the 2020 income year, is the lesser of the following:
-
actual greenfields exploration expenditure for the income year, multiplied by Rumble’s corporate tax rate for the income year
-
Rumble’s actual tax loss for the income year, multiplied by your corporate tax rate for the income year
-
the amount of JMEI exploration credits allocated to Rumble
Eligible shareholders will be provided notice in respect of any JEMI credits to be distributed to them at the appropriate time.
