1. EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

1.1 Earaheedy Zn-Pb-Ag-Mn Project, Wiluna, Western Australia

The Earaheedy project is located approximately 110km north of Wiluna, Western Australia - Image 1. Rumble owns 75% of E69/3464 and Zenith Minerals Ltd (ASX: ZNC) owns 25%. Rumble has two contiguous exploration license applications ELA69/3787 and E69/3862 (100% RTR) covering the known strike extent of a Zn-Pb mineralized horizon. The project area covers the inferred unconformity contact between the overlying Frere Iron Formation and underlying Yelma Formation of the Palaeoproterozoic Earaheedy Basin. On 19 April 2021 Rumble announced a major Zinc-Lead Discovery with ‘Tier 1’ potential at the Earaheedy Project (See ASX Announcement 19th April 2021) and followed this up by announcing a large SEDEX style system emerging at the Earaheedy Project (aee ASX announcement 25 May 2021) within E69/3464. There are 2 main prospects within E69/3464, Chinook and Magazine/Navajoh which lie 8km apart. Within the project area, Rumble controls 45km of prospective mineralised strike which has the potential for multiple large tonnage Zn – Pb deposits - Image 1. Drilling to date has established a 3km x 1.8km Zn-Pb-Ag mineralised footprint that is open in all directions.

RC Drill Program – Chinook Zinc-Lead-Silver-Manganese Discovery

At Chinook the first pass drill program consisted of five (5) fences of vertical RC drill-holes located 500m apart, completed on 100m spacings for a total of 2,653m (26 drill holes). All drill-holes intersected the Zn-Pb mineralization hosted within the basal unit of the Frere Iron Formation above the unconformity (contact between Frere Iron Formation and Yelma Formation). Following a successful $40 million capital raising, Rumble commenced a major 30,000m RC & Diamond drill program and has recently announced results from a further four (4) holes.

  • Assays received for the first four step-out holes have significantly increased the mineralisation footprint 700m in a south-west to north-east direction, and another 900m in a south-east to north-west direction

  • The ongoing zinc-lead mineralisation footprint now is 3km by 1.8km, an increase of 125%

  • Significantly, mineralisation remains open in all directions

Intersections (all true width) include:

  • EHRC061 – 23m @ 4.1% Zn + Pb from 103m (0.5% Zn + Pb cut-off) o including – 17m @ 5.21% Zn + Pb, 6.2 g/t Ag from 103m (2% Zn + Pb Cut-off)

  • EHRC059 – 18m @ 3.06% Zn + Pb from 56m (0.5% Zn + Pb Cut-off) o including - 9m @ 5.3% Zn + Pb, 6.6 g/t Ag from 64m (2% Zn + Pb Cut-off)

  • EHRC055 – 11m @ 3.98% Zn + Pb from 68m (0.5% Zn + Pb Cut-off) o including - 6m @ 6.57% Zn + Pb , 16 g/t Ag from 69m (2% Zn + Pb Cut-off)

  • EHRC051 – 38m @ 1.12% Zn + Pb from 38m (0.5% Zn + Pb Cut-off) o including - 7m @ 4.05% Zn + Pb, 5.3 g/t Ag from 48m (2% Zn + Pb Cut-off)

  • EHRC060 – 52m @ 1.65% Zn + Pb from 50m to EOH (0.5% Zn + Pb Cut-off) o including - 16m @ 3.32% Zn + Pb, 2.7 g/t Ag from 75m (2% Zn + Pb Cut-off)

  • EHRC083 - 49m @ 2.45% Zn+Pb from 18m (0.5% Zn+Pb Cut-Off) o with zone of 9m @ 3.67% Zn+Pb, 7.44% Mn, 3.6 g/t Ag from 46m

  • EHRC087 - 52m of 1.78% Zn+Pb from 126m to EOH (0.5% Zn+Pb Cut-Off) o Including 8m @ 3.43% Zn+Pb,5.1 g/t Ag from 129m

In addition to Chinook’s footprint expansion, even at this early stage of our ongoing 30,000m drill program Rumble has already uncovered some exciting new developments – see Images 3 and 4 .

On the southwestern margin of Chinook, previous drill holes indicated the oxide zone was depleted of mineralisation and was pinching out at surface. However, in multiple new drill holes we have now intercepted wide zones of significant oxide mineralisation with one intercept over 49m (true width) from only 18m (see Image 4), opening up the entire southwestern corridor for the possibility of large-scale shallow oxide deposit(s) to complement the potential large scale sulphide open cut and underground deposit(s).

Just as impressive, in an area with no previous drilling, our first hole 500m northwest of the previously most northwestern drilling line intersected Zn-Pb mineralization with true widths up to 50m.

With each drill hole we gather more data, and our understanding of the geology of this very large sediment hosted Zinc-Lead system continues to improve. This, in combination with our geophysical targeting methods will enable us to pinpoint in on the interpreted higher-grade feeder structures contained within this very large body of mineralisation. Using these refined targeting methods will not only fast track the ongoing drilling and targeting at the Chinook prospect discovery, they will also assist the advancement of potential new discoveries throughout the 45km’s of strike that remains untested at the Earaheedy Project.

This in-depth understanding has been achieved with only 2,500m of the 30,000m planned drilling having been completed to date. With the second and third RC drill rigs arriving over the coming weeks the pace of the drilling to define the limits of this potentially very large Zn-Pb system will accelerate and allow the testing of the previously reported inferred high-grade feeder structures.

Potential Large-Scale Zn-Pb-Ag ‘Tier 1’ SEDEX Variant at Chinook

Initial interpretation indicates a large scale SEDEX (variant) deposit at Chinook – see Image 5.

  • Structural Setting: Inferred Extension Faults (possible feeders) – Swarms or clusters parallel to Lockeridge Fault hosting higher grade Zinc-Lead

  • Geological Setting: Large underlying shale/carbonate horizon (Yelma Formation) – source of metal

  • Amenable large host horizon: Siltstone, shale, sandstone, marl/micrite and evaporite (Unconformity)

  • Mineralisation, which remains open in all directions, has characteristics of some SEDEX systems:

  • Associated higher grade Manganese (up to 21.34% Mn) and Silver (up to 16 g/t Ag) with the main Zinc-Lead mineralisation

  • Distal Barium anomalism (up to 1.45% Ba)

  • Low Cadmium with Zinc (60 to 100ppm) & high Zinc:Cadmium ratios (300 to 500)

  • Significant increase in Copper anomalism with feeder zones

  • Massive Pyrite zones (up to 27.5% FeS2) – peripheral to the base metal sulphides

  • Pervasive widespread low temperature silica alteration

==> picture [464 x 300] intentionally omitted <==

Image 5 – Earaheedy Project – Updated Geology Model – Incorporating SEDEX Style Mineralisation

Next Steps

  • Major 30,000m RC and Diamond drilling program has commenced to define the limits of the Zn-Pb- Ag mineralisation along strike and down dip of the Chinook prospect –2,500m completed to date with only 4 holes assayed and reported

  • Once the limits have been defined, infill drilling targeting the inferred high-grade feeders will commence

  • Two RC rigs onsite at present, a third RC rig is due to arrive in the coming weeks

  • A trial sonic drilling program to focus on twinning drill-holes EHRC044, EHRC050 and EHRC061 to improve recovery of cored material

  • A gravity survey has commenced along strike between the Chinook and Magazine Prospects to further assist the targeting of the prospective Zn-Pb- Ag mineralised horizon

  • A passive seismic survey has commenced at Chinook to improve drill targeting

First Stage Exploration Target

Rumble’s first stage Exploration Target at the Earaheedy Project is currently between 100 to 120 million tonnes at a grade ranging between 3.5% Zn-Pb to 4.5% Zn-Pb – see Table 1. This Exploration Target is only interpreted to a shallow depth (120m) and occurs within a small portion of the 45kms of prospective strike of the mineralised Zn-Pb horizon. Mineralisation remains open in all directions. 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 a large-scale Zn-Pb deposit(s) within the Earaheedy Project. The Exploration Target has been prepared and reported in accordance with the 2012 edition of the JORC Code.

==> picture [366 x 127] intentionally omitted <==

Table 1: Near surface exploration target down to 120 metre - shallow depth

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 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 previous and ongoing RC/Diamond drilling of 17 holes for approximately 2,500m, 30 holes for 2,690m (three RC stages), 33 holes for 3,593m recently completed and diamond drilling of 4 holes for 1,199.8m completed by Rumble along with 64 historic RC drill holes completed within the project area (E69/3464) by previous explorers (refer exploration results in previous ASX announcements dated 5 February 2019 and 12 October 2017, 23[rd] January 2020, 19 April 2021 and 2 June 2021 which continue to apply and have not materially changed). Some of the considerations in respect of the estimation of the Exploration Target include:

  • Drilling results have demonstrated strong continuity of shallow, flat lying mineralisation;

  • Over 45km’s of prospective strike and open (refer Image 2);

  • Minimum 600m of width (based on shallow 7.5° and shallow depth to 120m, based on drilling results.

  • True width (thickness) of mineralisation up to 52 metres received in drilling results; and

  • 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.

1.2 Western Queen Au Project, Mt Magnet, Western Australia

The Western Queen Gold Project lies 110km NW of Mt Magnet within the Yalgoo mineral field of Western Australia comprising two 100% owned mining leases M59/45 and M59/208 and 2 exploration tenements E20-0967 and E59-2443 which are also 100% RTR. The Project is located within a 110km radius of three operating gold processing facilities.

Rumble has completed and announced three phases of over 30,000m of Diamond Core, RC and AC drilling. The drilling is wholly within M59/45 and M45/208. The 3 phases of drilling were designed to (see Image 6):

  • Define the position and potential of the Western Queen Central Main high-grade gold shoot

  • Highlight the potential for other multiple high-grade gold shoots north of the Western Queen Central open pit – e.g. Duke Zone

  • Infill Resource drill the historic Western Queen South gold resource (inferred and indicated resource of 832,000t @ 3.1 g/t Au for 83,000oz

  • Test a potential shallow resource at Baron

  • Test below The Baron zone (Baron Deeps), testing for higher-grade shoots and resource depth extension

  • • Test the resource potential of the Western Princess zone

  • Provide extensional drilling south of the Western Queen South deposit and test for continuity of the main Western Queen Shear zone

  • Reconnaissance air core drilling between The Duke area and the Cranes Prospect

  • Reconnaissance RC drilling at the Cranes Prospect

1.3 Lamil Gold-Copper JV Project, Paterson Province, Western Australia

The Lamil Project is 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 (see Image 7).

In July 2019 Rumble signed a $10m Farm Out of the Lamil Project with AIC Mines (ASX: A1M). 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.

The Lamil Dome target exhibits the key structural features required to host a Telfer-style dome deposit (32Moz Au, 1Mt Cu resource) which lies 30km to the northeast of Rumble’s Lamil Dome Target (see Image 8). Image 7: Lamil Project location and Targets

==> picture [549 x 222] intentionally omitted <==

Image 8. Lamil Project - Schematic cross section illustrating relative positions of Key Targets Areas with respect to interpreted geology

Next Steps

  • UTS Geophysics have been contracted by AIC to undertake a helicopter supported VTEM Airborne EM survey commencing in late July. The survey will cover the prospective western half of the northern tenement and the majority of the southern tenement. The aim of the survey is to aid in the definition of stratigraphy and structure beneath cover, and generate conductors related to sulphide mineralisation.

  • During the September quarter a Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program is planned to both extend and infill the Lamil Main Dome and Lamil NE prospects, drilled in the maiden 2020 drilling campaign, as well as test the Goodenia, Hovea and the Desert Pea Targets.

1.4 Braeside and Warroo Projects, East Pilbara Western Australia

The Braeside and Warroo Projects (see Image 9) are located east of Marble Bar in the East Pilbara Region of Western Australia.

During the quarter Rumble has consolidated the Braeside Project securing 100% of tenements E45/4368 and E45/2032. The Braeside Project is now held 100% by Rumble and comprises of 4 granted exploration licences (E45/2032, E45/4368, E45/4873 and E45/4874) with an area of 670 km². The project hosts a regional scale porphyry epithermal and potential VMS province fracture system over 60km in strike and 8km wide.

Over 30 high priority base metal targets have been generated including:

  • Barkers Well Prospect – 800m long fracture zone with multiple high grade Pb breccia pipes

  • Camel Hump Cu Prospect - Wide zone of oxide stringer copper hosted in volcaniclastic siltstone and shale – VMS Potential

The Rumble 100% owned Warroo Project consists of E45/5366 and E45/5689 for 793 km². The host lithology to the copper mineralisation at Camel Hump has similar characteristics to the Warroo Hill Member lithologies. The Camel Hump and Warroo Hill Member lithologies lie within the same corridor with respect to strike and structure – Potential and represents a potential new VMS Province.

==> picture [370 x 335] intentionally omitted <==

Image 9. Braeside and Warroo Project Location over Province Geology

Next Steps

  • Orientation IP has been completed to test both the north and south breccia zones at Barkers Well to aid in targeting deeper high-grade mineralisation positions for RC and Diamond drilling. Results will be announced once Rumbles Technical team has analysed data.

  • Airborne TEM over the Camel Hump prospect and Warroo Synform (located within the Warroo project area) is planned in the September quarter aimed at discovering conductors for drill testing

1.5 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% of E51/1677 and 100% of ELA51/1919 and ELA51/1927 (see Image 10).

At the Amaryllis Prospect, Rumble has defined a large-scale gold-copper-silver system over 2.3km’s in strike that remains open under shallow cover (10 to 40 metres) coincident with a major north-south trending shear zone . This 2,300m of strike has only been partly tested by Rumble on wide spaced traverses. Recent regional reconnaissance exploration which involved mapping and relogging all available historic drill-holes has inferred the highly mineralised regionally extensive Amaryllis Shear zone extends over 15km to the north under cover. This priority target remains to be drill tested.

The style of mineralisation has very similar characteristics to the Chibougamau Au-Cu-Ag shear vein style deposits located in the eastern part of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt in Quebec, Canada. Of note: Chibougamau Au-Cu-Ag shear vein style deposits have produced 3.5 million oz (gold) and 1 million copper metal tonnes at an average weighted grade of 1.76% Cu and 2.05 g/t Au. Some of the deposits at Chibougamau have been mined down to 1.1km in depth.

==> picture [378 x 396] intentionally omitted <==
