December 2019 Quarterly Activities Report
Rumble Resources Ltd (ASX: RTR) ("Rumble" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update in respect to the Company's activities during the December 2019 quarter. In line with Rumble's strategy of generating and drill testing a pipeline of exploration projects providing multiple opportunities to make world-class discoveries, Rumble drill tested the Earaheedy project resulting in two significant Zn-Pb-Ag discoveries, and also completed drill programs at the Munarra Gully and Western Queen projects, for which it is currently awaiting assays.
Over the coming months Rumble will look to drill test 3 more projects and drill target 2 others providing multiple opportunities for further discoveries that could provide catalysts for a significant re-rating for our shareholders.

Earaheedy Zn-Pb Project, Wiluna, Western Australia
The Earaheedy Project is located approximately 110km north of Wiluna, Western Australia. Rumble owns 75% of E69/3464 and Zenith Minerals Ltd (ASX: ZNC) owns 25%. Rumble has three (100% RTR) contiguous exploration licence applications ELA69/3743, ELA69/3745 and ELA69/3746. The project area covers the inferred unconformity contact between the overlying Frere Iron Formation and underlying Yelma Formation of the Palaeoproterozoic Earaheedy Basin. The new style of Zn-Pb mineralisation has been delineated on the unconformity contact between the overlying Frere Iron Formation and underlying Navajoh Dolomite and shale of the Yelma Formation. Both formations are part of the lower units of the Palaeoproterozoic Earaheedy Basin. Drilling (current and historic) has intercepted flat lying porous sandstone to grit unit that has been interpreted to be the basal unit of the Frere Iron formation that lies unconformably over the Yelma Formation. The unconformity in general dips between 5 - 10° to the northeast. Sphalerite, galena and pyrite have replaced the matrix (pore) space within the porous sandstone grit host forming laterally extensive sulphide layers.

Two Large Scale Shallow Sandstone Hosted Zn-Pb-Ag Discoveries
During the quarter RC drilling was completed by Rumble, which outlined two shallow flat lying, large-scale unconformity related sandstone hosted Zn-Pb-Ag discoveries.
Chinook Prospect
- Shallow flat lying sandstone hosted Zn Pb mineralisation discovery.
- o ⃰11m @ 4.13% Zn + Pb, 12.8 g/t Ag from 61m (EHRC019) within ⃰22m @ 2.52% Zn + Pb from 53m
- Strong continuity of mineralisation.
- o RC drilling on 500m spacing.
- Historic RC drill hole (500m NE of EHRC019) returned: ⃰7m @ 3.42% Zn + Pb from 60m.
- o RC drilling on 500m spacing.
- Flattening of the mineralised sandstone unconformity highlights the scope for large-scale, shallow and continuous Zn–Pb mineralisation.
- Silver consistent with Zn Pb mineralisation.
- o Nearby historic diamond drilling returned:
- 4m @ 559 g/t Ag and 2m @ 149 g/t Ag Important: *indicates true width of mineralisation
- o Nearby historic diamond drilling returned:
Drilling has defined strong continuity of flat lying mineralisation over 1000m of strike and in association with historic drilling has demonstrated strong continuity normal to strike. Historic RC drill holes TRC65 and TRC70 returned very significant mineralisation.
Section AA (image 5 & 6) highlights very strong continuity (approximately normal to strike) over a distance of 815m (completely open). The depth to mineralisation at drill hole EHRC019 is 60m. It is interpreted that the very shallow northeast dip of the Yelma and Frere Iron Formations has flattened towards the southwest. This upgrades the potential for mineralisation to extend further southwest ("up-dip").
Section AA (image 6) presents the assays for EHRC019 and demonstrates that the mineralisation envelope is up to 22m wide (true width) in sandstone and highlights the consistent nature of the zinc and silver mineralisation. Visually, sphalerite, galena and pyrite have replaced the matrix within coarse sandstone.
The Chinook prospect is completely open northwest and southeast along strike. Also, the prospect is completely open up-dip and very limited drilling has been completed down-dip.

Magazine Prospect (10km southeast of Chinook Prospect)
- Shallow flat lying unconformity related sandstone hosted Zn Pb mineralisation discovery returned: ⃰11m @ 2.05% Zn + Pb, 3.2 g/t Ag from 70m (EHRC003)
- Strong continuity of Zn Pb mineralisation.
- RC drill hole spacing 400 600m apart. Historic RC drill hole (440m NE of EHRC003) returned ⃰11m @ 3.5% Zn + Pb from 103m
- The sandstone hosting Zn Pb has flattened with a slight (<5° NE) dip allowing scope for largescale, shallow and continuous mineralisation.
Mineralisation is open up-dip, to the northwest and partly open to the southeast. Important: *indicates true width of mineralisation

Exploration Target
Rumble's Zn-Pb Exploration Target at the Earaheedy Project is between 40 to 100 million tonnes at a grade ranging between 3.5% Zn-Pb to 4.5% Zn-Pb. The Exploration Target is at a shallow depth (80m), and over 20kms 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 | |||
| Upper | 100,000,000 | 4.5% Zn+Pb | |||
| Lower | 40,000,000 | 3.5% Zn+Pb |
Table 1: Near Surface Exploration target down to 80 metre - Shallow Depth
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 and a feasibility study completed at the nearby Paroo Pb deposit.
Included in the data on which this Exploration Target has been prepared is recent RC drilling of 21 holes for 1892m (two RC stages) and Diamond Drilling of 4 holes for 1199.8m completed by Rumble along with 64 historic RC drill 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, which continue to apply and have not materially changed). Some of the considerations in respect of the estimation of the Exploration Target include:
- o Drilling results have demonstrated strong continuity of shallow, flat lying mineralisation;
- o Over 20km's of prospective strike and open (refer image 4);
- o Minimum 800m of width (based on shallow 7.5° and shallow depth to 80m, based on drilling results. Example is shown in image 4 – strike continuity normal to strike;
- o True width of mineralisation of 7metres based on average true width received in drilling results; and
- o 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.
Regional Comparative
The Earaheedy Pb-Zn sandstone hosted mineralisation has similarities with the Paroo Pb Project, owned by LeadFX Inc. (a private Canadian company), which lies 120km to the southwest of the Company's Earaheedy project.
The Paroo Pb deposit is a large supergene (predominantly Pb carbonate) deposit under shallow cover. The Earaheedy project is a sulphide system (based on work to date) and is geologically equivalent (temporally and spatially with respect to stratigraphy) to the Paroo Pb mineralisation.
Some dimensions of the Paroo Pb deposit include:
- o Magellan 1600m by 900m by 12m width of mineralisation;
- o Cano 850m by 430m by 7m width of mineralisation;
- o Pinzon 1000m by 200m by 5m width of mineralisation; and
- o Cover is up to 25m
LeadFX Inc released a NI 43-101 feasibility study on the Paroo Deposit in April 2019. Rumble considers the Earaheedy Project to have similarities to the Paroo Pb Project, however, based on exploration to date, any mineralisation is reasonably expected to be predominantly sulphide (galena and sphalerite).
Next Steps
- RC drilling following up the Chinook and Magazine discoveries; and
- Broad spaced RC drilling to scope the 20km's of potential strike, and working toward confirming the Exploration Target
Western Queen High Grade 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 contiguous mining leases (M59/45 and M59/208) for a total area of 9.8 km². The holder is Mt Magnet Gold Pty Ltd, an entity owned by Ramelius Resources (ASX: RMS). Rumble entered into an option to acquire 100% of the Project in August 2019 (see ASX announcement – 6 th August 2019 – Option to Acquire High-Grade Western Queen Gold Project). The Project is located within a 100km radius of three operating gold processing mills (see image 8). 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.

Image 8 – Project Location with Neighbouring Gold Processing Facilities
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.
An updated mineral resource (refer ASX announcement 6 August 2019) estimates remaining resources beneath both mined deposits of 962,000t @ 3.9 g/t Au for 120,000oz. Of note the high-grade zone below the Western Queen Central Pit hosts inferred mineral resources of 130,000t at 9.0g/t Au for 38,000 ounces.
Summary of High Order Target Areas at Western Queen Project

Image 9 – Location of High Order Area/Targets
Drilling Commenced at Western Queen Gold Project
During the quarter Rumble announced the commencement of aircore and RC drilling at the Project and is currently awaiting assay results from the drilling, which was completed subsequent to the end of the quarter.
- 1. Western Queen Central Deposit - RC drilling will test the down plunge position of the main shoot. Historic intersections include:
- 6.3m @ 36.09 g/t Au from 305.7m
- 11.8m @ 16.08 g/t Au from 340.4m
* High-grade gold is open down plunge
- 2. Western Queen Central Deposit Northern Extension - RC drilling will test for potential high-grade gold mineralisation extensions north of the historic open cut. Historical high-grade gold intercepts include:
- 7m @ 60.6 g/t Au from 70m
- 6m @ 37.34 g/t Au from 50m
- * High-grade gold is open down plunge, up plunge and north along strike
- 3. Western Queen Central Deposit Northern Extension - RC drilling will test for mineralisation extensions south of the historic open cut. Historical high-grade gold intercepts include:

4. Air-core Drilling at the Cranes Prospect
Air-core drilling will target basement gold mineralisation associated with the 150m by 100m high-grade gold soil anomaly (peak value of 11.75 g/t Au). Results from air core drilling include:
• 14m @ 4.87 g/t Au from surface
* High-grade gold is open over >200m strike and at depth
- Testing along strike (northeast trending) potential to extend the current 200m strike.
- Test below the recent high-grade surface zone define the basement mineralisation.
* The mineralisation is completely open (along strike and at depth).

Munarra Gully Cu-Au 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 can earn up to 80% on E51-1677 and M51/0122 and has two exploration licence applications ELA51/1919 and ELA51/1927 - 100% ownership.
Rumble completed a desktop study of the recently acquired exploration licence applications (ELA51/1919 and ELA51/1927) has highlighted the Munarra North Cu–Au prospect as potentially a significantly larger extension of the highly prospective White Rose Cu – Au magmatic differentiated mafic sill hosted sill complex. The study has aided in understanding the association of copper, gold and cobalt mineralisation with the regional structure (some 34km of strike within the project area) that transect the Munarra Gully Project. The Munarra Gully Project is located some 50km NNE of the town of Cue within the Murchison Goldfields of Western Australia.
Copper, gold and cobalt mineralisation is closely related to a regional structure (shear zone) that strikes over 34 km within the Munarra Gully Project (see image 1). Three significant prospects within the Munarra Gully Prospect are associated with the structure in Munarra North, White Rose and Co Prospects.
Newly acquired exploration licence applications (ELA51/1919 and ELA51/1927) cover the interpreted position of the structure. North of the Munarra North Prospect, the structure strikes north underneath Lake Annean and the Hope River drainage. Historic wide spaced drilling indicates the depth of lake cover is up to 100m, however, the depth of cover north of North Munarra is up to 40m.


Co Prospect - Aircore Drilling Commenced
Reconnaissance air core drilling by Rumble (refer ASX announcement 11 July 2019) discovered significant shallow high-grade cobalt mineralisation with platinum. Intercepts included:
- ➢ LBAC275 – 3m @ 0.37% Co, 75 ppb Pt from 14m
- ➢ LBAC185 – 2m @ 0.48% Co, 220 ppb Pt from 18m
- ➢ LBAC172 – 2m @ 0.20% Co, 203 ppb Pt from 11m
- ➢ LBAC261 – 1m @ 0.55% Co, 382 ppb Pt from 13m
- Airborne magnetics and surface geochemistry completed by Rumble outlined 10 kilometres of strike potential
- The lateral cobalt mineralisation mineralisation is associated with a strongly lateritised pyroxenite intrusive under 5 metres of cover – indicating high potential for high-grade laterite cobalt deposits under shallow cover
- Air core drilling commenced to test continuity of cobalt mineralisation over approximately 4 kilometres extending out from the known laterite cobalt mineralisation (Co Prospect)

Image 13 – Co Prospect – Location of Drilling over Magnetics
Munarra North Prospect
Two recently acquired exploration licence applications (ELA51/1919 and ELA51/1927 – 100% RTR) cover the northern extension of the highly prospective regional structure (shear zone). The structure has a mineralised strike of 34km within the project area. A detailed desk top study of historic exploration has highlighted an extensive zone of gold mineralisation with copper that is completely open (along strike and at depth) and is under 5 to 40m of cover.
Previous explorers focused on the shear hosted gold mineralisation with limited Cu and Ag assaying completed. Historic drilling defined a zone of gold mineralisation over a strike of 2km (using 0.5 g/t Au basement contour) with significant gold intersections including:
- 51m @ 0.8 g/t Au from 35m (MHC015):
- Includes 12m @ 1.7 g/t Au from 57m
- 45m @ 0.89 g/t Au from 65m (MHC083) ▪ 14m @ 2.36 g/t Au from 57m (MHC021)
- 30m @ 0.89 g/t Au from 90m to EOH (MHC027)
- 81m @ 0.32 g/t Au from 35m (MHC036)
- 69m @ 0.24 g/t Au from 35m to EOH (MHC026)
- All intercepts use 0.1 g/t Au lower cut-off to define mineralisation/alteration haloes
Five historic diamond drill holes were completed over a strike of 1.2 km. All holes were partially assayed for Au, Cu and Ag. Wide zones of strong copper anomalism with gold and silver were reported. Multiple copper intersections were reported from some holes (MHD045). The pre-collars were not assayed for copper (and in some cases gold). Mineralisation included disseminated and stringer chalcopyrite with pyrite. The host is a mafic intrusive (dolerite sill). The sill is on average 150m in width and occurs over a strike of at least 6km based on historic drilling.
Significant historic intersections from the diamond core drilling include:
- MHD046 - 8m @ 0.52% Cu, 4.24 g/t Au, 11.75 g/t Ag from 161m
- MHD045 - 5m @ 1.7% Cu, 0.82 g/t Au, 21.2 g/t Ag from 139m
- 2.5m @ 0.92% Cu, 0.71 g/t Au, 12.7 g/t Ag from 164m
- 3m @ 0.87% Cu, 0.35 g/t Au, 14.7 g/t Ag from 192m
- 2.5m @ 0.92% Cu, 0.71 g/t Au, 12.7 g/t Ag from 164m
- 3m @ 0.96% Cu, 0.67 g/t Au, 14.7 g/t Ag from 203m ▪ MHD049 – 4m @ 0.95% Cu, 1.27 g/t Au, 17.5 g/t Ag from 142m 5m @ 0.67% Cu, 0.26 g/t Au, 15.6 g/t Ag from 154m
Select RC drill holes were assayed (visible chalcopyrite) with results including:
▪ 8m @ 1.31% Cu, 0.83 g/t Au from 104m (ARCC319)

Intercepts based on lower cut-off of 0.5 % Cu.
Image 14 – Munarra North Prospect – Drill Hole Location Plan with Significant Results
Regional air core drilling (historic) north of the Munarra North Prospect (Image 15) tested for continuity of mineralisation under partial lake cover. Four drill hole traverses (reconnaissance) were assayed for Au and Cu and highlighted the continuity of the mineralised structure with anomalous gold and copper. The northernmost line (image 15) was not assayed for copper, however, it was anomalous in gold. The historic drilling has outlined a north trending zone of copper-gold anomalism over a strike of 6km (including the Munarra North Prospect)

Image 15 – Munarra North – Area Prospectivity Plan
White Rose Prospect
Recent drilling by Rumble has defined copper – gold mineralisation associated with the basal zone of a differentiated mafic sill. Approximately 350m of strike of the prospective sill has been preserved at White Rose (sill subjected to faulting and regional shearing). Mineralisation is considered to be magmatic and has developed as disseminated sulphide (bornite, chalcopyrite and pyrite) at the base of the sill. RC drilling by Rumble has returned significant copper gold intercepts including:
- o 22m @ 1.00% Cu from 29m coincident with 19m @ 2.19 g/t Au from 33m (WRRC001) ▪ within 52m @ 0.54% Cu from surface
- o 15m @ 0.88% Cu, 0.77 g/t Au from surface (WRRC019). including 8m @ 1.1% Cu, 0.96 g/t Au from 4m.
- o 21m @ 0.75% Cu, 0.53 g/t Au from 24m (WRRC020)
- Entire hole is mineralised – 78m @ 0.34% Cu, 0.23 g/t Au.
In addition to Cu and Au, other element associations include Re, Mo and Ag. Rumble conducted a downhole TEM (transient electromagnetic) survey beneath the eastern margin of the differentiated sill aimed at delineating conductors (drill targets) which may represent higher grade copper gold mineralisation. Drill hole WRRC026 (downhole TEM completed) was drilled to a depth of 450m. The hole did not intercept any significant mineralisation (footwall fault – off mineralised zone) and did not discern any conductors. Surface loop ground TEM conducted by Rumble in 2018 over the White Rose Prospect also did not discern any conductors. The White Rose differentiated mafic sill is not conductive and does not have a magnetic response and as a result Rumble is considering a potential IP Survey.
Potential for Multiple Magmatic Cu-Au Deposits Hosted in Mafic Intrusions
Previous explorers focused on shear hosted gold at Munarra North rather than the extensive copper mineralisation occurring over a strike of 6km which is completely open (along strike and down dip). Rumble has recognised magmatic Cu-Au mineralisation hosted in a differentiated mafic sill at the White Rose Prospect whereby significant Cu – Au mineralisation (22m @ 1.00% Cu from 29m coincident with 19m @ 2.19 g/t Au) was delineated.
The similarities between the Munarra North and White Rose mineralisation are very significant and Rumble considers the Munarra North area as having potential for multiple economic deposits.
Similarities between Munarra North and White Rose include:
- Mineralisation is non-magnetic and non-conductive.
- Mineralisation is disseminated within mafic intrusive (dolerite).
- Although limited multi-element geochemistry at Munarra North, elemental associations are gold, copper and silver.
- The White Rose differentiated sill is approximately 150m wide. The mafic intrusion at Munarra North is 150m wide.
- Munarra North is a very large system (large scale tonnage potential) with a strike length of at least 6km (completely open). White Rose a fault constrained system with a strike of 350m.
Next Steps
- Air core drilling to scope shallow cobalt mineralisation at the Co Prospect. Approximately 4km of strike will be tested – commenced
- Air core drilling within granted tenure 700m south of the newly identified Munarra North Cu Au Prospect will test continuity of strike of mineralisation – commenced
- Granting of exploration licences (Munarra North) Expected early 2020.
- Detailed XRF analysis of cuttings and diamond core to ascertain copper anomalism Planned February 2020
- Subject to grant, a proposed geophysical survey based on outcome of petrophysics with follow up RC drilling at Munarra North to confirm targets and copper mineralisation – Planned February 2020
Long Lake Cu-Ni-PGE-Co Project, Sudbury, Canada
Rumble has an option agreement to acquire up to 100% of the Long Lake Project located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. During the quarter a high-powered deep penetrating ground EM has commenced targeting first order conductors that may be associated with Sudbury "Offset Dyke" style massive Ni–Cu– PGM type deposits at the Long Lake project, Sudbury, Canada
- ➢ The ground EM program is designed to test 4km of strike potential, inferred to be the faulted southern extension of the 'Copper Cliff Offset Dyke System' that has been moved west by later regional faults. The area of the ground EM is located some 10km SW of the Kelly Lake Ni-Cu-PGM deposit.
- ➢ The 'Copper Cliff Offset Dyke System' is a world class Nickel-Copper sulphide system producing some 200 million tonnes of ore - the southern-most deposit discovered to date is at Kelly Lake, with a reserve of 10.5 Mt @ 1.77% Ni, 1.34% Cu and 3.6 g/t PGM.
- ➢ Since 1883, the Sudbury Mining Field has been the second-largest supplier of nickel ore in the world with over 1.7 billion tonnes of past production, reserves and resources - nearly half of the nickel ore at Sudbury occurs in breccias and 'Offset Dykes' in the footwall rocks of the Sudbury Igneous Complex ("SIC").
Lamontagne Geophysics has been commissioned to complete the ground EM program utilising their highpowered deep penetrating UTEM 5 system designed for deep mineral detection. UTEM 5 is a powerful wide band time domain surface EM system, developed to achieve the sensitivity and interpretability necessary to handle deep exploration with the main objective being the search for massive sulphide mineralisation.

Image 16 – The location of the Long Lake Project, Copper Cliff Offset and Deposit Types of the Sudbury Basin.
Overview of Sudbury Mining Camp, Ontario Canada
Since 1883, the Sudbury mining field has been globally significant with the Sudbury Basin the secondlargest supplier of nickel ore in the world, and new discoveries continuing to be made. It is one of the most productive nickel-mining fields in the world with over 1.7 billion tonnes of past production, reserves and resources.
Nickel-copper and platinum group metals ("PGM") bearing sulphide minerals occur in a 60 km by 27 km elliptical igneous body called the Sudbury Igneous Complex ("SIC"). The current model infers the SIC was formed some 1,844 million years ago after sheet-like flash/impact melting of nickel and copper bearing rocks by a meteorite impact. The SIC is within a basin like structure (Sudbury Basin) which had been covered by later sediments and has subsequently been eroded to the current level. Mineralization occurs within the SIC as well as in the neighbouring country rocks in close association with breccias and so-called 'Offset Dykes'. 'Offset Dykes' with metamorphosed (hot) Sudbury breccias have become the target of progressively more intense exploration interest in recent years following the discovery of blind economic deposits. They are typically quartz-diorite in composition and extend both radially away from and concentric to the SIC. It is important to note that the 'Offset Dykes' developed downwards from the impact melt sheet. Melt material migrated down into the fractures caused by the impact below the SIC. The melt carried metal sulphides that accumulated into deposits within the 'Offset Dykes' by gravity and pressure gradients (impact rebound). Important: Nearly half of the nickel ore at Sudbury occurs in breccias and 'Offset Dykes' in the footwall rocks of the SIC.
Ground EM Target - Copper Cliff Offset Dyke Southern Extension
The Copper Cliff South (producing) and the Copper Cliff North mine have yielded some 200 million tonnes of ore along the north-south trending offset dyke system. Vale Limited's Clarabelle mill, Copper Cliff smelter and Copper Cliff nickel refinery are all located close to the Copper Cliff Offset dyke. The southernmost deposit discovered to date is at Kelly Lake which lies south of the Copper Cliff South mine (see image 1 and 2). The Kelly Lake reserve is 10.5 Mt @ 1.77% Ni, 1.34% Cu and 3.6 g/t PGM. Note: IGO's Nova – Bollinger Deposit which lies in the Albany Fraser Province of Western Australia has a reserve of 13.3 Mt @ 2.06% Ni and 0.83% Cu (2017).
The ground EM program that has commenced is designed to test 4km of strike inferred to be the faulted southern extension of the 'Copper Cliff Offset Dyke System' that has been moved west by later regional faults some 10km SW of the Kelly Lake Ni-Cu-PGM deposit - (see images 16 & 17).

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 underexplored mineral provinces in Australia. It hosts the world-class Telfer goldcopper mine and the Nifty copper mine. The Lamil Project, which covers an area of 1,375 km², is situated midway between these two mines.

The region has attracted renewed interest following significant recent discoveries by Rio Tinto Limited at the large Winu copper-gold project and the Newcrest Mining – Greatland Gold joint venture at the exciting Havieron goldcopper project.
The Paterson Province remains underexplored due its remoteness and relatively deep Permian and recent cover. A recent breakthrough, based on a detailed airborne magnetic survey completed by Rumble in March 2019, indicates that the depth of cover to the main targets in the Lamil Project area is less than 100m. Despite its close proximity to both the Telfer gold-copper mine and the Nifty copper mine, the area has essentially been ignored due to the previous perception of ubiquitous deep (>400m) cover.
The airborne magnetic survey completed by Rumble highlighted several principal target areas including a major domal structure (Target P1 – see image 19) which has many important similarities to the world class Telfer goldcopper deposit which lies only 30km to the northeast. Independent interpretation of the airborne magnetic data completed by AIC has confirmed that the Lamil Dome exhibits the key structural features required to potentially host Telfer-style gold and copper mineralisation.

Exploration Activity by AIC Mines (image 20)
During the quarter, AIC Mines completed the following fieldwork on the Lamil JV:
- Access approval
- Passive seismic survey Final processing and results pending
- Gravity survey Final processing and results pending
The surveys were completed over the P1, P2, P3 and P4 targets (image 19 & 20)
Preliminary results for passive seismic line 6 (image 20 & 21) which covered the P1 (Main "Lamil Dome") and P4 (Domal Feature) targets were very encouraging. Initial conclusions include:
- The maximum depth to first main reflector is 55m.
- The P4 target is inferred to have less than 30m of cover with initial interpretation indicating multiple domal sets.
- Depth to approximate centre of target P1 (main "Lamil Dome") is 50m.
A1C Mines were successfully applied to the Government of WA Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety for Government Co-Funded Exploration Drilling at Lamil. The grant amount totals $150K with drilling required to be completed prior to 31 December 2020.
Next Steps
Results from the passive seismic surveys and gravity surveys will be combined with the existing ultra-detailed aeromagnetic to define final drill targets

Thunderstorm Ni-Cu-Au JV Project with IGO, Fraser Range
The Thunderstorm Project lies within the Albany – Fraser Province and is located some 250km SSE of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
The Thunderstorm Project comprises of four exploration licences, E28/2366, E28/2528, E28/2529 and E28/2595 for a total area of 323km². Independence Group NL (ASX: IGO) has 70% and RTR 30%- Rumble is now freecarried 30% up to the completion of a pre-feasibility study (PFS).
Image 23 - Location of Fraser Range JV Project's with IGO
First stage regional air core drilling by IGO on wide spaced patterns 400m and 1.5km by 400m made a significant high-grade gold discovery during the June quarter 2019 (refer ASX announcement 1 July 2019).
Themis Prospect High-Grade Gold Intercept (image 24 and 25)
High-grade gold within a palaeo-drainage and into basement rocks returned:
o 25m @ 2.42 g/t Au from 42m (0.1 g/t Au lower cut off – exploration)* and Includes 5m @ 10.85 g/t Au from 49m (1 g/t Au lower cut off)*.
Pion Prospect Gold Intercept (image 24)
o 4m @ 3.8 g/t Au from 86m and 4m @ 0.34 g/t Au from 106m**.**



Important: The Themis and Pion occurrences lie on the same palaeo-drainage system some 11km apart (13km by palaeo-drainage), highlighting the scale potential.
Conclusions
- The identification of significant high-grade gold mineralisation in wide-spaced drilling, within a large complex palaeo-drainage system over a broad area, highlights the potential for both palaeo-channel and basement gold deposits.
- Rumble considers the Themis Prospect gold mineralisation as the most significant gold intercept in recent years in the Fraser Range outside of the Tropicana gold system.
- The main palaeo-drainage has not been tested between the two main intercepts (18AFAC30771 and 18AFAC20486), a distance of 11km (13km by drainage), highlighting the scale potential.
- Drilling by IGO has outlined numerous >100ppb Au air core drill-hole intercepts (see image 4) on other palaeo-drainages that feed into the main system.
Next Steps
• Further exploration by IGO will consist of infill air core drilling planned to test the high-grade gold mineralisation – planned February 2020
Warroo Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au-U-Pt Project, East Pilbara – 100% Rumble
Subsequent to the end of the quarter Rumble announced that it had generated multiple first order targets at its newly formed Warroo Project, located in the highly sought-after Fortescue/Paterson Province region, which has attracted renewed interest following significant recent discoveries by Rio Tinto Limited at the large Winu coppergold project and the Newcrest Mining – Greatland Gold joint venture at the exciting Havieron gold-copper project.

Image 26: Warroo Project Location over Regional Magnetics with Known Deposits
The Warroo Project is contiguous to the east of Rumble's Braeside -Barramine Zn-Pb-Ag (Cu Au V) Projects and lies some 160km to the east of Marble Bar in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia. The project comprises of three exploration licence applications (ELA45/5365, ELA45/5366 and ELA45/5367) for a total area of 1082 km². The tenure is 100% owned by Rumble.
The Warroo Project overlies the Lower Fortescue Group (Late Archaean) rocks adjacent to the main tectonic boundary with the Paterson Province (early to late Proterozoic). Exploration by historic and current companies has been very limited over the project as the main focus was on the highly prospective Paterson Province that lies immediately to the east of Warroo. Recent work by Rumble Resources on the Braeside Project (west and contiguous with the Warroo Project) has confirmed significant base metal mineralisation (Zn, Pb and Cu) is associated with a large preserved Archaean epithermal-porphyry system. The mineralisation at Braeside is hosted in andesitic basalts and associated volcaniclastics and is controlled by an extensive fracture network over 60km in strike. The age of the mineralisation, host rocks and the likely source (felsic volcanics of the Koongaling Volcanic Member) are similar (2.76 Ga).
Within the Warroo Project, a Late Archaean bimodal volcanic-sedimentary faulted (thrusting) synform (Warroo Hill Member) with strong copper anomalism has significant potential for VMS, stratiform base metal and intrusive related styles of mineralisation. The synform forms a part of Fortescue Group Harding Formation. Elsewhere in the Pilbara, the basal formation to the Fortescue Group is typically conglomerate. At Warroo, bimodal volcanism (felsic, andesite and basalt) is associated with volcaniclastics and sediments (including carbonates). The stratigraphy is typical of a rift related bimodal volcanic system, i.e. rhyodacitic volcanism followed by sedimentary basin development with ongoing volcanism evolving into andesite and basalt.
The felsic volcanic sequence (Koongaling Felsic Volcanics - oxidised) associated with the bimodal volcanism is structurally in contact with a large granitoid complex (Gregory Granite Complex). Within the Gregory Granite Complex, A-type granite has been identified based on mineralogy and tectonic setting. A-type granites are generally anorogenic, post tectonic and emplaced in extensional regions (rifts). These granites have a strong radiometric output and often have significant REE, Nb, Ta, U, Sn and W. In general, the Gregory Granite Complex is a mix of metamorphosed syenogranite, granophyre and porphyritic granite with numerous rafts of xenolithic para/ortho amphibolite and felsic metasediments.
A major sandstone unconformity (Tarcunyah Unconformity) occurs along the eastern margin of the Fortescue Group rocks. Above the unconformity, a thick sequence of oxidised quartz sandstones occurs with conglomerates. Underlying the Tarcunyah Unconformity (Neoproterozoic) are the highly radiogenic Gregory Granite Complex and Koongaling Felsic Volcanics (felspar bearing) and the bimodal volcanic-sedimentary synform which hosts reductant carbonates and shales. Tarcunyah sandstone also occurs in fault bounded outliers. Potential for Au, U and Pt.

Image 27: Warroo Project – Geology
Airborne Magnetic Survey
To aid in exploration targeting, Rumble completed airborne magnetics over the Lower Fortescue synform structure (Warroo Hill Member) and the southern portion of the Lower Fortescue/Neoproterozoic contact. A total of 798 line km were flown in late October 2019 with data becoming available for interpretation in December 2019. The survey was flown on 400m line spacing to complement existing regional public 400m line spaced airborne magnetic surveys. The new line spacing is 200m.
Historic Exploration (Images 3 & 4)
Shallow RAB drilling (vertical holes) on 500m by 500m spacing was conducted over the northern section of prospective synform in the mid 1990's. The drilling was very shallow (3 to 12m deep) and was aimed at defining lithotypes and geochemistry under extensive shallow sand cover in the area.
Elevated Cu and Zn anomalism was highlighted over a strike of some 10km on 500m by 500m spacing (project area) within metamorphosed volcaniclastics and sediments. Copper (>400ppm) in basement delineated (see image 3 & 4). No follow up drilling was conducted and the prospective rocks within the synform are open to the south (18 km strike) within the project area.
Grab sampling at the Warroo Cu-Zn Prospect (within project area – see image 3 & 4)) returned strong mineralisation from multiple samples including.
- Cu 3.43%, 2.04% and 1.51%
- Zn 26.0%, 23.5% and 19.1%
No previous exploration has been conducted over the large regional unconformity (Tarcunyah Unconformity).

Targets (Image 30)
The Warroo Hill Member Synform is prospective for:
- VMS Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au deposits:
- o Geological setting ideal for VMS style mineralisation associated with bimodal Archaean rift related tectonism. Large felsic volcanic province (rhyodacite – lower sequence) underlies a sedimentary basin (rift related) comprised of intermediate to mafic volcanics/volcaniclastics and sediments.
- Stratiform Replacement Cu (Zn Pb Ag Au) deposits:
- o Early basin (syngenetic) base metal mineralisation with overprint (later replacement) – copper dominant.
- Intrusive Related Cu Zn Pb Ag Au deposits:
- o High level (porphyry) intrusive related deposits.
- Over 18km of strike is prospective for Cu Zn Pb Ag Au mineralisation and potential deposits within the Warroo Hill Member Synform (Image 28,29 & 30)
The Tarcunyah Unconformity is prospective for Au-U-Pt (unconformity related) deposits.
- Upper oxidised sandstone (Neoproterozoic) over reduced basement of shales and carbonates (Warroo Hill Member) and feldspar rich radiogenic felsic volcanics, syenogranite and granite.
- Some 60km of strike potential associated with the Tarcunyah Unconformity and outlier fault has no previous exploration and has potential for Au U Pt unconformity related deposits.

Next Steps – JV Potential
In line with is strategy, Rumble will refine target generation prior to completing exploration in its own right, and will also consider suitable joint venture opportunities and partners.
Rumble has recently secured two significant joint ventures in Tier 1 jurisdictions, one with Independence Group (ASX: IGO) on Rumble's Fraser Range Project and another with AIC Mines (ASX: A1M) on Rumble's Lamil Project in the Paterson Province.
Panache Ni-Cu-Co-Au-PGM Project, Greater Sudbury, Canada
The Panache Project (33.5km² in area) is located 40km southwest of the city of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. During the quarter Rumble completed a diamond drilling program, which returned low tenor copper, nickel and PGE from massive pyrrhotite and pyrite associated with highly deformed siliceous metasediment in contact with gabbro. Massive iron sulphides were remobilised along a wide shear zone and correlate with two parallel conductors previously defined by a ground TEM (transient electro-magnetic) survey. Rumble will now complete a final review before making a decision on the project.
Ongoing Review of Resource Opportunities
During the Quarter the Rumble Board continued to implement a clear strategy of organic growth via the generation of a pipeline of quality high grade base and precious metal projects, critical review them against stringent criteria, to provide optionality to complete low cost systematic exploration to drill test for high grade world class discoveries on multiple projects. In line with this strategy Rumble is currently reviewing projects and the Company will keep the market updated as required.
