REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the period, Rumble's focus was to rapidly advance the large-scale Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu discovery which was made in April 2021 at the Earaheedy Project in Western Australia. An initial 50,000m scoping drill program was completed in 2021 and has uncovered an emerging world class scale Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu base metal system, with the drilling continuing to outline a large scale, shallow and flat lying mineralised zones at Chinook, Tonka and Navajoh within a broad and regionally extensive unconformity rock package, termed the Navajoh Unconformity Unit (NUU).
On the 21st December 2021 the Company announced the discovery of a major Zn-Pb-Ag + Cu zone within a northwest trending feeder fault (recently named Kalitan Feeder) adjacent and paralleling the Lockeridge Fault System at Chinook. The discovery of significant copper within this feeder supported the metal zonation that is characteristic of a large-scale base metal system. Additionally, the subvertical feeder is interpreted to traverse the thick (up to 280m) underlying Carbonate and Shale Members providing fertile hosts for potential structurally controlled high grade Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag deposits.
The Company and its joint venture partners also completed drill programs and other exploration activities elsewhere across its portfolio in Western Australia.
Earaheedy Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu Project, Wiluna, Western Australia
The Earaheedy Project ("Earaheedy" or the "Project") is located approximately 140km northeast of Wiluna, Western Australia. Rumble owns 75% of E69/3464 and Zenith Minerals Ltd (ASX: ZNC) owns 25%. The Company also has two large contiguous exploration licenses covering 430km2, ELA69/3787 and ELA69/3862 that are held 100% by Rumble. During the half-year ended 31 December 2021, Rumble completed an expanded 50,000m drill program at the Project with exceptional results leading to an increase in the Exploration Target to 100-120Mt (3.5% - 4.5% Zn-Pb Sulphide). 85% of the assays from 50,000m drill program have been received to date:

Chinook Prospect – Maximum Grade in Drill Hole Contouring plus Latest Drill Hole Intersections as at 21 February 2022

Chinook Prospect – Kalitan Feeder Zone Longitudinal Section with Drill Hole Intersections
REPORT
Chinook Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu Prospect – Geophysical Analysis - E69/3464 and E69/3787
• Processing and interpretation of acquired airborne magnetics has highlighted multiple trending structures to the west of Chinook within E69/3464 and the recently granted E69/3787. The structures parallel the trend of the Kalitan Feeder zone and potentially represent additional feeder zones with higher-grade sulphide Zn-Pb mineralisation (see image below).

Tonka-Navajoh Zn-Pb-Ag Trend – RC Drilling Results - E69/3464
- Located 8kms southeast of the Chinook Prospect, RC drilling significantly increased the Tonka–Navajoh mineralised footprint to a strike of 8km and up to 1.4km in width. Zn-Pb mineralisation remains open to the northwest, southeast and down-dip to the northeast
- At multiple new inferred high-grade Zn-Pb feeder structures trend northeast, which remain to be drill tested
- The RC drilling (scoping on 500m sections) confirmed strong Zn-Pb grade continuity at both the Tonka and Navajoh Prospects with results including:
Tonka Zn-Pb-Ag Prospect (Includes Magazine)
- 22m @ 4.27% Zn+Pb, 5.4g/t Ag from 110m (EHRC399)

Tonka– Navajoh Prospects – Maximum Grade Downhole Contouring plus Latest Drill Hole Intersections
Initial litho-structural interpretation from airborne magnetics, gravity and drill hole logging suggests:
- The Chinook-Tonka-Navajoh Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation now occurs over a strike of 18km and is open to the northwest, west, southeast and down-dip to the northeast
- At Chinook, the Kalitan Feeder Zone and other inferred higher-grade Zn-Pb feeder zones trend northwest which are the focus of the early 2022 drill campaign
- At Tonka-Navajoh, multiple new inferred high-grade Zn-Pb feeder structures trend northeast, which remain to be drill tested
Rumble Resources Ltd & Controlled Entities DIRECTORS' REPORT

Chinook – Tonka – Navajoh Prospects and Surrounds – Maximum downhole grade contours, Interpreted Structure over TMI 1VD RTP Airborne Magnetics
Granting of 100% owned Tenements E69/3787 and E69/3862
Two 100% owned key prospective tenements at the Earaheedy Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu Project, E69/3787 and E69/3862, have recently been granted covering an area of 430km2, a fourfold increase in granted tenure contiguous to Rumble's 75%/Zenith 25% Joint Venture (E69/3464) tenement, which hosts the large-scale Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu discoveries at the Chinook, Tonka, Magazine and Navajoh Prospects.
The Earaheedy Project is potentially an emerging World Class Base Metal System and the two newly granted tenements more than double the strike of the highly prospective mineralised Navajoh Unconformity Unit to over 42kms. This includes:
- Over 15kms of mineralised and untested strike potential, west and northwest between the Rumble discovered Chinook Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu Prospect. The only drilling along this trend were two historical drill holes completed by Renison Goldfields (RGC) which intercepted Zn-Pb mineralisation at the Sweetwater Prospect, 12km's to the west of Chinook
- Over 8kms of mineralised strike potential southeast of the Tonka Magazine Navajoh Zn-Pb-Ag Prospect zone, which currently has a combined mineralised footprint of 8km x 1.4km and remains open to the northwest, southeast and downdip to the southeast
2022 Exploration Program
Chinook & Tonka-Navajoh Prospects (E69/3464 (RTR (75%) / ZNC (25%) JV)
- The immediate focus for the current 2022 drilling campaign includes:
- RC infill and extension drilling to further delineate the shallow high-grade Zn-Pb mineralisation in the Navajoh Unconformity Unit within the 2.3km long Kalitan Feeder Zone and adjacent interpreted feeders
- Diamond core drilling to test the feeder structures in the underlying Purple Shale and Iroquois Carbonate members targeting new Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag discoveries
- RC drill testing the recently interpreted northeast trending structures with the focus on delineating new higher-grade Zn-Pb-Ag zones
- Ongoing scoping and infill RC drilling of the Tonka-Navajoh Trend
Sweetwater Tenements (E69/3787 and E69/3862 RTR 100%)
- Rumble is in advanced stages with TMPAC to complete heritage surveys to clear the upcoming planned exploration programs
- Once the heritage surveys are completed, the focus of drilling will be to rapidly extend and define the limits of Chinook's large Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu mineralised footprint to the west towards Sweetwater, and to extend the Tonka-Navajoh mineralised footprint further to the southeast.
- A large surface geochemical survey is planned along the entire 15kms of the Sweetwater Trend which in combination with the airborne magnetic data should delineate additional new first order drill targets

Earaheedy Project – Geology and Location of Prospects
Earaheedy Project – Emerging World Class Base Metal System
Since the Chinook discovery in April 2021, scoping drilling has uncovered a rapidly expanding world class scale Zn-Pb-Ag-Cu metal system, with the drilling continuing to make discoveries and additional multiple large-scale deposit type targets emerging confirming the province-scale base metal potential at Earaheedy. Recently, two key tenements have been granted (ASX: RTR Announcement – 20/1/2022). The granting of E69/3787 and E69/3862 (both 100% RTR) along with the current JV tenement E69/3464 (75% RTR:25% Zenith Minerals) has highlighted some 42km of highly prospective strike along the host Navajoh Unconformity Unit.
The overall geological deposition model for the emerging Earaheedy Base Metal Province is continually evolving with some five (5) styles of mineralisation identified. Rumble has confirmed at least four (4) of these styles have been defined within the Earaheedy Project and based on recent drilling completed by Strickland Metals (see ASX announcement STK – 14/10/2021 & 14/02/2022), the likelihood of significant Iroquois Dolomite hosted mineralisation below Chinook, Tonka, Magazine and Navajoh is high. The current drilling has outlined laterally extensive flat lying unconformity related Zn-Pb-Ag dominant sulphide mineralisation at the Chinook, Tonka, Magazine and Navajoh Prospects (Mineralisation Styles 1 and 2 – see image below). The mineralisation footprint at Chinook is currently 4.1km by 1.9km, whilst the combined mineralised envelope for Tonka (includes Magazine) and Navajoh Trend is 8km by 1.4km. The unconformity style mineralisation in both areas remains open along strike and down dip. To the southwest and immediately below the unconformity related mineralisation at Tonka, a very wide low-grade Zn-Pb zone has been discovered within the Purple Shale unit that lies below the Navajoh Unconformity. This mineralisation (Style 5) is a wide fracture zone with multiple fault veinlets with sphalerite, galena, pyrite and chalcopyrite. Historic drilling completed by Renison Goldfields Consolidated (RGC) within the main Navajoh Dolomite unit which lies down-dip and to the northeast of the current Rumble prospects, intersected Mississippi Valley Type Zn-Pb-Ag fault related mineralisation (Mineralisation Style 3 – see image below).

Earaheedy Project - Model of Multiple Mineralisation Styles
First Stage Exploration Target
Rumble's Zn-Pb exploration target at the Earaheedy Project is between 100 to 120 million tonnes at a grade ranging between 3.5% Zn-Pb to 4.5% Zn-Pb Sulphide. The exploration target is at a shallow depth (120m), and over 40kms of prospective strike (completely open) has been defined within the Earaheedy Project. 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-Ag-Cu Project – Exploration Target | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Range | Tonnes | Grade | |
| Lower | 100,000,000 | 3.5% Zn + Pb Sulphide | |
| Upper | 120,000,000 | 4.5% Zn + Pb Sulphide |
Table: 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.
Included in the data on which this exploration target has been prepared from is some 50,000m of drilling completed by Rumble (over 40% of assays still pending). Historic drilling includes sixty-four (64) holes completed within the project area (E69/3464) by previous explorers (refer historical exploration results in previous ASX announcements dated 12 October 2017, 5 February 2019 and 23rd January 2020 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 sulphide mineralisation;
- Over 42km's of prospective strike and open;
- 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 51 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 into 2022. 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.
Munarra Gully Au-Cu-Ag-Zn Project, Cue District, Murchison, Western Australia
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.
At the Amaryllis Prospect, Rumble has defined a large-scale gold-copper-silver system over 2.3kms in strike that remains open under shallow cover (10 to 40 metres) coincident with a major north-south trending shear zone.
The 350m long Calytrix Zone lies at the northern end of the Amaryllis Prospect. During the half-year ended 31 December 2021, Rumble completed exploration within the Calytrix zone. Work completed and results in this period included:
• Two RC drillholes to 250m angled depth to support a DHTEM survey and potentially identify conductive EM plates that may represent high-grade Au-Cu-Ag mineralisation at depth within the Calytrix Zone.
Rumble Resources Ltd & Controlled Entities DIRECTORS' REPORT
- Delineation of two subvertical semi-continuous high-order conductive EM plates at vertical depths of 120 to 150m:
- o Calytrix TEM Plate A 200m in strike and 300m deep (300 Siemens)
- o Calytrix TEM Plate B 180m in strike and 340m deep (230 Siemens)
- Six diamond core tails (with RC pre-collars) testing the EM plates for 1000m drilled assays are pending
- Initial visual observations have been encouraging with stringer style Cu sulphide mineralisation observed in all six holes. Based on previous drilling results, the Cu mineralisation is anticipated to have a correlation with Au-Ag mineralisation.
- The drilling program was co-funded by the WA Government's Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS).
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 giant (>20Moz) Telfer Au-Cu mine within the Paterson Province, East Pilbara, Western Australia.
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.
During the December quarter a total of 20 RC drill holes for 4,062m were completed by AIC. This follows 23 RC holes for 4,738m completed in the September 2021 quarter. In total, AIC Mines have completed 43 RC holes for 8,800m across five key target areas in 2021.
Thirteen holes were drilled at the Lamil NE target, which was partially tested in the 2020 program. Cover again ranged considerably, from 170m in the west through to about 50m toward the Lamil Dome area. Interbedded finegrained carbonaceous siltstones and sandstones were intersected often hosting narrow quartz-carbonate veins with pyrite although no chalcopyrite was observed.
Three holes were drilled at the Hovea target; the first drilling ever conducted in the northern tenement. The aim was to determine both the depth of cover and the nature of a coincident magnetic and gravity feature (see AIC Quarterly Activities Report for the period ending 30 September 2021). Three holes were completed to the limit of the rig capacity in each hole, with the deepest hole going to 327m. All holes remained in Permian cover. The magnetic data collected from this drilling will be used to constrain the modelling and help determine more accurately the depth of cover in this region. During the December quarter AIC Mines was awarded an EIS co-funding grant to drill the Firebush target, a coincident magnetic and gravity anomaly, in 2022.
Wardawarra Ni-Cu-Co-Ta-Nb-Sn-Au Project, Mt Magnet, Western Australia
Rumble's 100% owned Wardawarra Project consists of one (1) granted exploration license (E20/967) and one (1) exploration license application (ELA59/2443) for a total area of 213.3km². The Wardawarra Project is contiguous to the north and south of Rumble's 100% owned Western Queen Gold Project. The Wardawarra Project covers the Archaean Wardawarra Greenstone Belt which extends over 35km in length with an average width of 3km. During the period a technical review of open file and company reports at the Wardawarra Project was conducted culminating in a significant number of historic multi-commodity prospects delineated via geological, geophysical, and geochemical interpretation.
Yinga Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Prospect
- Historic drilling has defined significant oxide Nickel, Copper and Cobalt at the Yinga Prospect 5km north of the Western Queen Gold Project. Intersections include:
- 19.8m @ 0.88% Ni, 0.10% Co from 10.7m (PDH16) o Including 9.1m @ 1.26% Ni from 19.8m
- 50.3m @ 0.64% Ni from 10.7m (PDH11) o Including 4.6m @ 1.00% Ni from 15.2m
- 39.6m @ 0.63% Ni, 0.08% Co from surface (entire hole PDH05) o Including 16.8m @ 0.81% Ni from 6.1m
- Nickel mineralisation has been defined over 1.8km strike within three prospective ultramafic horizons with potential for further parallel zones east of the Yinga Prospect. Mineralisation is open along strike and down-dip
- Historic drilling tested only the shallow oxide-transition zone highlighting significant potential for massive Ni-Cu-Co sulphides down dip/plunge and along strike
- No gold, platinum or palladium assays were completed historically.

The pit optimisation has shown that much of the resource has the potential to be mined economically, and further mining studies are warranted to further progress the project. Mineral Resources that are not Ore Reserves have not demonstrated economic viability at this point. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. Mining Method refers to either open cut (OC) or Underground (UG).
Braeside Cu-Au-Zn-Pb-Ag Project, East Pilbara, Western Australia
The Braeside Project is located 129km east of Marble Bar in the East Pilbara Region of Western Australia. The Project covers 673km2 consisting of 100% owned licences E45/2032, E45/4368, E45/4874 and E45/4873.
Rumble has generated over 30+ high priority Cu-Au-Zn-Pb-Ag Prospects, within a regional scale porphyry, epithermal and potential VMS province fracture system over 60km in strike and 8km in width. Notable Prospects further defined during the period include:
- Barkers Well Prospect: 800m long fracture zone with multiple high grade Pb breccia pipes. A ground IP survey was completed with analysis ongoing
- Camel Hump Prospect: Wide zone of oxide stringer copper hosted in volcaniclastic siltstone and shale with VMS potential - An airborne EM survey was completed with analysis ongoing.
Warroo Project (RTR 100%)
The Warroo Project is contiguous to the east of Rumble's Braeside Project and lies some 160km to the east of Marble Bar in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia. The project comprises of three (3) exploration licence applications (ELA45/5365, ELA45/5366 and ELA45/5367) for a total area of 1082 km². The tenure is 100% owned by Rumble.
At the Warroo Project, copper and zinc anomalism is associated with bimodal (felsic to mafic) volcanics and associated volcaniclastics/sediments of the Warroo Hill Member Synform. 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, and there exhibits potential for a significant new VMS province. An airborne EM Program was completed with analysis ongoing.

NOTE 9: OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Group has one operating segment being mining exploration in Australia.
NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS
Exploration expenditure commitments
In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Group is required to meet the minimum expenditure requirements specified by the relevant authorities. These obligations are subject to renegotiation when application for a mining lease is made and at other times. These obligations are not provided for in the financial report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RUMBLE RESOURCES LIMITED
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Rumble Resources Limited ("the Company") and Controlled Entities ("the Consolidated Entity") which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other selected explanatory notes, and the directors' declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of the Consolidated Entity does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- a. Giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity's financial position as at 31 December 2021 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.
Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


Auditor's Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity's financial position as at 31 December 2021 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
