1.0 SAFETY PERFORMANCE

The Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) for the Sandfire Group for the September Quarter was 8.9 compared to a TRIFR for the June Quarter of 9.7. Recordable injuries include those that result in any days away from work (Lost Time Injuries) and those where an employee or contractor cannot perform all or any part of their normal shift (Restricted Work Day Injuries), as well as any injury that requires services that only a medical practitioner can provide (Medical Treatment Injuries).

Work continues on initiatives to further improve safety performance including development of safety systems, improved safety leadership, improvement of safety culture and risk and assurance management.

2.0 OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

Copper production for the September Quarter was ahead of guidance at 16,638 tonnes (June Quarter: 18,637 tonnes) at an average ore grade of 4.7% Cu (June Quarter: 5.05% Cu). C1 cash operating costs for the Quarter were US$0.97/lb (June Quarter: US$0.98/lb).

Mill throughput for the September Quarter was around 1.6Mtpa, with a total of 387,864 tonnes of ore milled. As noted in the June 2015 Quarterly Report, an 8-day shutdown was completed during the September Quarter to reline the mills and refurbish thickener tanks and the concentrate filter. Mill throughput operating rates continue to demonstrate that the capacity of the process plant is close to 1.7Mtpa.

Copper recovery averaged 91.2% in the September Quarter, reflecting stable plant operation throughout the Quarter together with the impact of the column cell, which has delivered improvement in copper recoveries since its installation in February 2015.

A total of 730.9 metres of ore drive development was completed during the Quarter resulting in the production of 85,326 tonnes of development ore. In addition, 306,943 tonnes of stope ore was produced, resulting in total ore production for the Quarter of 392,269 tonnes grading 4.6% Cu. This reflects an annualised production rate from the mine of approximately 1.6Mtpa. The mine remains in balance between production and back-fill.

Total underground development had reached 30.9km at Quarter-end. The development program remains on target to deliver the first stope ore from C4 in the December 2015 Quarter. C5 ore development is on target to start in the March 2016 Quarter with stoping planned to commence early in the 2017 financial year.

3.0 MINING & PRODUCTION

3.1 Overview

September 2015 Quarter –Production Statistics Tonnes Grade(% Cu) Grade(g/t Au) ContainedCopper (t) ContainedGold (oz)
Concentrator Mined 392,269 4.6 1.6 18,104 19,985
Milled 387,864 4.7 1.6 18,234 19,418
Production 67,024 24.8 3.7 16,638 7,885

Note: Mining and production statistics are rounded to the nearest 0.1% Cu grade and 0.1 g/t Au grade. Errors may occur due to rounding. Production Statistics are subject to change following reconciliation and finalisation subsequent to the end of the Quarter.

3.2 Underground Mining

A total of 730.9 metres of ore drive development was completed during the Quarter, resulting in the production of 85,326 tonnes of development ore. In addition, 306,943 tonnes of stope ore was produced, resulting in total ore production for the Quarter of 392,296 tonnes grading 4.6% Cu.

This reflects an annualised production rate from the mine of approximately 1.6Mtpa. This strong performance confirms the new mine production target of 1.6Mtpa and reflects a continued focus on reliable stope design and excavation, as well as mining fleet productivity.

The mined copper grade was higher than planned as a result of positive reconciliations from a number of stopes mined during the Quarter, improved drill and blast practices and minor adjustments to the mine schedule. On a total mine basis, project copper ore reconciliations remain slightly positive against the resource model.

The increased mine production performance reflects an overall 7% increase in future annualised mine production with the same mine personnel and mining fleet. Opportunities to further enhance mine production will continue to be explored.

The mine remains in balance between production and back-fill. Given the maturity of production in the C1 and DeGrussa lenses, opportunities to replace paste back-fill in some stopes have been identified for FY 2016, therefore reducing overall paste requirements and waste haulage to the surface.

The Conductor 1 decline was not advanced during the Quarter with the focus on development of the Conductor 4 and 5 declines. The development of this decline will recommence as required for the extraction of the lower Conductor 1 ore. Conductor 4 decline development advanced 171 metres in good ground conditions and intersected the first development ore early in the Quarter which will allow stoping to commence in the December 2015 Quarter.

The Conductor 5 decline development advanced 61 metres during the Quarter, with all development advance occurring in good ground conditions. C5 ore development is on target to commence in the March 2016 Quarter, with stoping planned to commence early in the 2017 financial year.

3.3 Processing

Key processing metrics for the September Quarter included:

  • 387,864 tonnes milled at an average head feed grade of 4.7% Cu (June Quarter: 399,525 tonnes at 5.05% Cu);
  • Overall copper recovery of 91.2% (June Quarter: 92.4%);
  • Concentrate production of 67,024 tonnes (June Quarter: 75,082 tonnes); and
  • Metal production of 16,638 tonnes of contained copper and 7,885 ounces of contained gold (June Quarter: 18,637 tonnes of contained copper and 9,499 ounces of contained gold).

Mill throughput was maintained at an annualised rate of approximately 1.55Mtpa inclusive of an 8-day shutdown completed during the quarter to re-line the mill, refurbish the thickener and service the concentrate filter. Mill throughput operating rates continue to demonstrate that the capacity of the process plant is close to 1.7Mtpa.

Copper recovery for the period averaged 91.2%, reflecting the positive impact of the processing plant enhancement projects implemented earlier in the year, which were aimed at delivering copper recoveries of 92% for grades of around 4.5% Cu.

However, copper recovery was below targeted levels due to elevated levels of MgO compared to previous quarters and the geo-metallurgical characteristics of the ore treated during the Quarter. Testing has confirmed that the recovery achieved was in line with the recovery model given the geo-metallurgical characteristics of the ore treated.

Following the successful commissioning of the major enhancement projects completed during FY 2015, Sandfire is continuing to investigate opportunities for further improvements in copper recovery. These include examining additional flotation capacity, further improvement in grind optimisation and operating tactic optimisation.

3.4 Guidance – FY2016

Targeted copper production for FY 2016 remains unchanged with production expected to be in the range of 65,000-68,000 tonnes of contained copper metal and gold production in the range of 35,000-40,000 ounces. Headline C1 cash operating costs are expected to be in the range of US$0.95-1.05/lb. As previously advised, third quarter production will be impacted by 8-day planned shuts to re-line the mill and refurbish the thickener tanks and concentrate filter.

Refer to Sandfire's September 2015 Quarterly Presentation (released today) for further detail and guidance on operating parameters and unit costs.

4.0 SALES AND MARKETING

4.1 Copper Concentrate Shipments

A total of 62,141 dry metric tonnes of plant concentrate containing 15,311 tonnes of copper and 7,320 ounces of gold was sold for the Quarter. Shipments were completed from Port Hedland and Geraldton.

5.0 INFRASTRUCTURE

5.1 Solar Power Project

During the Quarter, Sandfire signed the final agreements allowing construction to commence on the proposed 10.6MW solar power station at DeGrussa. Formal approval for the project, which will be the largest integrated off-grid solar and battery storage facility in Australia, follows the establishment of an extensive international consortium to finance, develop, operate and own the facility. The DeGrussa Solar Power Project has also attracted significant funding support from the Australian Federal Government.

The DeGrussa Solar Photovoltaic (PV) System is expected to set new benchmarks for the use of renewable power for mining and processing operations, establishing DeGrussa as a potential world-leading reference site for the use of renewables to reduce operating costs and improve environmental performance.

Sandfire has executed a final Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Neoen, the leading French renewable energy company. Neoen has contracted juwi Renewable Energy Pty Ltd ("juwi") to develop and operate the project. Diversified infrastructure and survey solutions company OTOC Limited (ASX: OTC) secured the procurement and installation contract for the project via a joint venture with juwi.

The Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) is committing up to $15 million in finance towards the project, while the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) is providing $20.9 million of funding with Neoen contributing most of the balance. Sandfire's cash contribution to the project will be less than $1 million. Construction activities at the DeGrussa mine site commenced in July 2015 with the facility expected to be fully operational in 2016.

Figure 2: Site preparations underway for the construction of the DeGrussa solar power station

The $40 million project, which is located near the site of the current DeGrussa underground mine and Concentrator, comprises a 10.6MW solar array utilising 34,080 solar panels over 20 hectares. It uses singleaxis tracking technology, combined with 6MW of short term battery storage. Once completed, it will be one of the world's largest integrated solar installations providing peak load power to a mining operation.

The solar power station will be fully integrated with the existing 19MW diesel-fired power station at DeGrussa, which is owned and operated by Kalgoorlie Power Systems (a subsidiary of Pacific Energy, ASX: PEA) under an agreement with KPS. This integrated system will be designed with the diesel power station continuing to provide base-load power to the DeGrussa mine with sufficient minimum load to ensure it can respond quickly to meet the power requirements of the process plant and underground mine. Agreements have been completed with KPS for the integration of the solar power facility.

Under the PPA, Sandfire will purchase the solar power generated at a fixed rate that is lower than the historical cost of diesel-generated power. The project is expected to achieve savings in the consumption of diesel fuel and will deliver a significant environmental benefit for DeGrussa, reducing its CO2 emissions by an estimated 12,000 tonnes per year.

6.0 FEASIBILITY STUDIES & METALLURGY

6.1 Oxide copper

The Sandfire Oxide Copper Project at DeGrussa has been extensively tested and a Scoping Study undertaken on the basis of a traditional sulphuric acid heap leach combined with a solvent extraction circuit with a strong electrolyte fed to an electrowinning circuit to produce 99.99-99.999% copper cathode.

As outlined in the December 2014 Quarterly Report, the preliminary economics from the Scoping Study indicate that the Oxide Project has an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) exceeding 10% and requiring capital expenditure of over $50 million. The project is sensitive to acid costs, copper recovery and capital costs.

The investigation of Innovat continuous vat leach leaching as an alternative to heap leaching and glycine as a potential alternative to a sulphuric acid leach environment continued during the Quarter. A second round of benchtop testing, as noted in the June 2015 Quarterly Report, has been completed using new samples collected from site stockpiles to confirm consistency of the results.

Assay results from this testing are expected during the December 2015 Quarter and will provide an insight into the suitability of changing from an acid-leach environment to a glycine leach environment to improve the project economics.

Sandfire anticipates that, should the results be consistent with the first round of testing, a high level study will be completed to understand the economics of this innovative process leading to the possible construction and then treatment of material in a small pilot plant.

7.0 DEGRUSSA EXPLORATION

7.1 Overview

Sandfire continues to progress a tightly focused, multi-disciplinary exploration campaign to test for extensions to the known cluster of VMS deposits at DeGrussa and to unlock the broader potential of the Doolgunna region for additional VMS and structurally-hosted copper deposits. Key components of the Company's exploration activity at DeGrussa during the September Quarter included:

  • Additional diamond and RC drilling at the high-grade Monty VMS copper-gold discovery, part of the farm-in with Talisman Mining, which has significantly enhanced the Company's understanding of the nature and controls of the mineralisation;
  • Continued underground resource definition drilling of the Conductor 5 deposit to allow conversion of the existing Inferred Resource to Indicated and Measured status; and
  • RC drilling at the Thaduna Copper Project with the aim of targeting gaps in drill coverage over the main orebody between known mineralised intercepts and to test drill methods in order to maintain RC resource definition holes and diamond pre-collars at the proposed trajectory.

The aggregate exploration metres drilled on Sandfire's tenements during the September 2015 Quarter are summarised below:

Drilling AC/RAB RC UG Diamond Surface Diamond Total Drilling
Drilling (m) Drilling (m) Drilling (m) Drilling (m) (m)
Q1FY2016 49,654 8,868 2,190 5089 65,801

Note:

49,654 metres of AC/RAB drilling, 7,654 metres RC, and 5,089 metres of DDH during the quarter related to the Talisman farm-in.

1,214 metres of RC drilling during the quarter related to the Ventnor Joint Venture.

7.3 DeGrussa Near-Mine Extensional Exploration

During the Quarter, Swick completed nine resource definition drill holes for a total of 2,190 metres. Drilling was primarily designed to allow upgrading of the C5 orebody from an Inferred to an Indicated Mineral Resource status, as well as testing the eastern extents of the currently modelled C5 orebody.

7.4 DeGrussa Regional Exploration

The Greater Doolgunna Project now includes the Talisman Farm-in and the tenements acquired from Sipa Resources, which have increased the aggregate contiguous exploration area to 1,700km2. This includes over 65km of strike extent in VMS lithologies. Much of this stratigraphy is obscured beneath transported alluvium and requires systematic aircore (AC) drilling to test the bedrock geochemistry and identify prospective areas.

7.4.1 VMS Discovery – Talisman Farm-In

The Talisman Projects comprise the Springfield, Halloween and Halloween West Projects, which abut Sandfire's DeGrussa-Doolgunna tenements and contain extensions of the lithological sequence which hosts the DeGrussa VMS deposits. The projects are being explored under a Farm-in Agreement with Talisman Mining Limited (ASX: TLM) under which Sandfire has the right to earn up to a 70% interest by spending $15 million on exploration over five-and-a-half years.

During the Quarter, Sandfire carried out extensive Diamond (DDH) and Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at the Monty VMS copper-gold discovery announced in the June 2015 Quarter. To date, 5,998m of diamond drilling and 6,960m of RC drilling has been completed at Monty.

This work has resulted in the delineation of two mineralised horizons to date – an upper horizon and a lower horizon – with significant intersections including (not true width):

  • 16.5m @ 18.9% Cu, 2.1g/t Au from 409.5m (TLDD0004A) Lower Zone;
  • 9.2m @ 11.8% Cu, 2.9g/t Au from 417.0m (TLDD0005) Lower Zone;
  • 7.9m @ 8.3% Cu, 2.4g/t Au from 363.1m and 4.8m @ 4.9% Cu and 1.1g/t Au from 385.8m (TLDD0009) – Lower Zone;
  • 10.5m @ 18.9% Cu, 3.1g/t Au from 359.7m and 4.7m @ 12.8% Cu, 2.5g/t Au from 373.6m (TLDD0010) – Lower Zone; and
  • 18.0m at 5.7% Cu, 2.4g/t Au from 107m and 4.0m grading 4.2% Cu, 0.7g/t Au from 158.0m (TLRC0004) – Upper Zone.

Initial interpretation of Lower Zone

Ongoing work at the Monty Prospect has resulted in an initial interpretation of the setting of the Lower Zone. The Lower Zone incorporates the massive sulphide mineralisation intersected in TLDD0004A, TLDD0005, TLDD0009, TLDD0010 (previously reported), TLDD0021 (assays pending), and TLDD0026 (assays pending) drilled subsequent to the end of the quarter.

The mineralisation can variably be seen as an individual primary lens (as seen in holes TLDD0004A and TLDD0005), and as a primary lens with minor subordinate lenses (as seen in holes TLDD009, TLDD0010 and TLDD0021). An updated collar plan is provided in Figure 3 below, an updated Vertical Longitudinal Projection in Figure 4 and the interpretive cross-section for the Lower Zone is shown in Figure 5.

Other minor intersections of massive sulphides in surrounding holes, and the top of alteration and disseminated sulphides in the periphery of the mineralisation, have informed this interpretation. The primary zone of mineralisation strikes approximately 220° and ranges in dip from 65°- 85° to the north-west.

Initial interpretation of Upper Zone

Ongoing work at the Monty Prospect has also resulted in an initial interpretation of the geometry of the Upper Zone mineralisation currently defined by RC holes TLRC0004, TLRC0008 and TLRC0009 (as previously reported, see Figure 4). This interpretation suggests that the mineralisation in the Upper Zone, and its host stratigraphy, may be steep to sub-vertical in dip.

As a result, the RC holes in the Upper Zone are likely to have intersected the mineralisation at a low angle, with the reported intersections being considerably thicker than the anticipated true width. The grades reported in this Upper Zone may also therefore not be fully representative and further drilling is required to confirm the interpretation and determine the optimum angle for drilling to further define the mineralisation.

Thick zone of massive sulphides intersected in Lower Zone

Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, Sandfire reported further encouraging results from ongoing diamond drilling at Monty including a thick intersection of bornite-bearing massive sulphides in the Lower Zone.

Diamond hole TLDD0026, which was drilled approximately 45 metres along strike from recently reported hole TLDD0021 (which returned 7.3 metres of massive sulphides from 286.2m down-hole) and 46 metres up-dip from the halo mineralisation intersected in TLDD0014 (see Figures 2 and 3), has intersected three horizons of massive sulphides within the host sequence of the Lower Zone:

  • 3.0 metres of massive sulphides from 325.6m to 328.6m down-hole (true width not known at this time, top of intercept is approximately 275m metres vertically below surface);
  • 2.4 metres of massive sulphides from 330.5m to 332.9m down-hole (true width not known at this time, top of intercept is approximately 279m metres vertically below surface); and
  • 19.9 metres of massive sulphides from 340.2m to 360.1m down-hole (true width not known at this time, top of intercept is approximately 286 metres vertically below surface).

The 19.9 metre intersection of massive sulphides in TLDD0026 is interpreted to be a continuation of the 7.3m (down-hole width) primary mineralisation previously reported from TLDD0021 in the ASX announcement on 2 October 2015 (Figures 3 and 4).

The mineralisation in the upper two intersections in TLDD0026 appears to be consistent with that of the higher level, subordinate mineralisation zones intersected in TLDD0021 (Figure 4).

Based on field observations, the mineralogy of the 19.9 metre intercept in TLDD0026 differs from that observed in the previously reported intersections of the primary mineralisation in TLDD0004A, TLDD0005, TLDD0009, TLDD0010, and TLDD0021. The massive sulphides intersected in these earlier holes comprises variable amounts of chalcopyrite (main copper-bearing sulphide mineral), pyrite and pyrrhotite, minor sphalerite and galena, along with silicate and talc gangue minerals (with gold and silver).

The primary mineralisation in TLDD0026 has a similar composition to that of the earlier holes but also contains variable amounts of bornite (a copper-bearing sulphide). Both the bornite and other sulphide minerals are deformed and exhibit features consistent with re-crystallisation, which suggests that modification of the massive sulphide may have occurred during deformation.

Bornite is an important copper mineral and commonly occurs in VMS deposits globally, along with the more common chalcopyrite. Bornite, in isolation, typically has a copper content of approximately 63 per cent by mass.

Further work is required to put the presence of bornite in TLDD0026 into further context and determine its significance in the exploration campaign at Monty and further afield at Doolgunna. Diamond core from TLDD0026 will be despatched for analysis.

Additional Lower Zone Drilling Results

Diamond hole TLDD0024, which was drilled approximately 66 metres down-dip of previously reported hole TLDD0010 (which returned intercepts including 10.5m at 18.9% Cu and 3.1g/t Au from 359.7m down-hole and 4.7m at 12.8% Cu and 2.5/t Au from 373.6m down-hole), intersected a single horizon of massive sulphides within the Lower Zone host sequence:

1.8 metres of massive sulphides from 445.6m to 447.3m down-hole (true width not known at this time, top of intercept is approximately 381 metres vertically below surface).

Diamond hole TLDD0028, which was drilled approximately 37 metres along strike from previously reported hole TLDD0021 (7.3 metres of massive sulphides from 286.2m down-hole) and 46 metres from the mineralisation intersected in TLDD0020 (1.2 metres of massive sulphides from 272.6m down-hole), intersected the prospective horizon with weak haematite, jasper, and minor disseminated sulphides logged in the core. No massive sulphides were encountered and further drilling will be undertaken down-dip to help define the extents of the mineralisation in this area.

Assay results have also been received for previously reported drill-hole TLDD0014, which was completed 45 metres along strike of TLDD0026 (see Figures 3 and 4). TLDD0014 intersected:

  • 0.5 metres at 3.6% Cu and 0.1g/t Au from 334.2m to 334.7m down-hole (corresponding to the stratigraphic position of the main mineralised zone); and
  • 3.4 metres at 3.5% Cu and 0.8g/t Au from 359.4m to 362.8m down-hole (true widths for both intersections not known at this time).

Diamond hole TLDD0011, which was drilled along strike of TLDD0010 (see Figures 3 and 4), returned an intersection of:

0.4 metres at 1.2% Cu and 1.3g/t Au from 370.9m to 371.3m down-hole (true width not known at this time).

Upper Zone Drilling

Reverse Circulation holes TLRC0015, TLRC0016 and TLRC0017 were drilled up-dip of, and at the opposite orientation to, previously reported holes TLRC0004, TLRC0008 and TLRC0009 to test for potential mineralisation (Figures 3 and 4).

No visible mineralisation was observed and the mineralised zone is therefore interpreted to not reach the surface (see Figure 4). The spatial position of the host horizon intersected in TLRC0016 and TLRC0017 indicates that the host horizon in the near-surface portion of the Upper Zone may be locally overturned and dip at approximately 75° to the south-east.

As the earlier drill-holes that intersected mineralisation in the Upper Zone (TLRC0004, TLRC0008 and TLRC0009) were drilled at a dip of 60 - 62° to the south-east, the true widths of mineralisation in these holes is anticipated to be significantly lower than the down-hole widths (as previously announced).

Additional diamond holes are planned to be drilled below TLRC0004, TLRC0008 and TLRC0009 in order to test for down-dip mineralisation as well as to provide information to accurately constrain the dip of the Upper Zone.

Assay results have been received for drillhole TLRC0009 drilled during the quarter, which returned an intersection of:

12.0 metres at 5.7% Cu and 1.8g/t Au from 133m – 145m down-hole (true width unknown but anticipated to be significantly less than down-hole widths).

Figure 5: Interpretive cross-section of the Monty mineralisation (Lower Zone)

Sandfire is encouraged by the results to date from this exciting new area, which has the hallmarks of a significant new centre of VMS mineralisation within the greater Doolgunna Project.

Homer Prospect

With the focus of exploration at Doolgunna remaining on the Monty VMS discovery during the Quarter, the priority exploration opportunity at Homer, located approximately 4km east of the DeGrussa Copper Mine, remains to be tested.

Drill sites are prepared and it is envisaged that the first phase of drilling following up the initial encouraging results from TLDD0001 and TLD0003 will commence in the coming quarter. These drill-holes intersected haematitic exhalite with jasper clasts, which is interpreted to be the C5 target horizon. This horizon returned weakly anomalous base metal and trace elements.

7.4.2 Seismic Survey and Other Regional Exploration

Processing of the recently acquired seismic data has been unable to definitively demonstrate that the method can be used as an exploration tool for the direct detection of massive sulphides at DeGrussa. The focus with this seismic dataset now shifts to better utilising it to define basin architecture, including the location and depths of prospective stratigraphy as well as significant faults.

High-powered electromagnetic surveys are continuing as part of the exploration program with all RC and DDH holes being surveyed. In addition to this, further surveys are being conducted where more detailed information gained through drilling may indicate that the original survey did not optimally couple with the prospective stratigraphy.

Litho-geochemistry processing and interpretation continued throughout the reporting period. This project was successful in identifying two significant geochemical indices that correlate to areas of known mineralisation. Drill targeting is progressing and is focused on areas where the geochemical anomalism aligns with favourable stratigraphy and structure.

7.4.3 Thaduna Project Joint Venture

The Thaduna Project is located 40km east of DeGrussa and represents the largest copper resource in the Doolgunna-Bryah Basin Region outside of Sandfire's DeGrussa-Doolgunna Project (7.9Mt @ 1.8% Cu for 142,000 tonnes of contained copper). Sandfire currently owns a 35% interest in the project, and has entered into a farm-in agreement to earn up to a further 45% (total of 80%) with Ventnor Resources (ASX: VRX).

During the Quarter, Sandfire completed an RC drill program at Thaduna with results including:

  • TDRC001: 5m @ 3.2% Cu and 9.6g/t Ag from 251m down-hole
  • TDRC004: 4m @ 1.5% Cu and 1.9g/t Ag from 193m down-hole

The RC drill program comprised five holes drilled at a dip of 63o to an average depth of approximately 240m down-hole. Holes had been planned and selected to target gaps in drill coverage over the main orebody between known mineralised intercepts, and to test drill methods in order to maintain RC resource definition holes and diamond pre-collars at the proposed trajectory given that the Thaduna Copper Project is susceptible to significant drill-hole deviation.

The Company plans to undertake a diamond drilling program comprising six drill-holes during the December 2015 Quarter aimed at resource definition.

7.4.4 Ned's Creek Project

The Ned's Creek Project comprises all of the tenements acquired from Sipa Resources. The package totals over 900km2 of prospective geology and surrounds the Thaduna Project Joint Venture in totality.

During the Quarter, the Company finalised the parameters of a proposed detailed airborne magnetic survey at Neds Creek and awarded a contract to fly the survey. It is anticipated that the results will aid detailed drill targeting at the project, with drilling expected to commence in Q3 FY 2016.

8.0 AUSTRALIAN EXPLORATION

Sandfire has a number of exploration joint ventures around Australia. The Company recognises that its activities impact directly and indirectly on the local environments and communities in which we operate. Sandfire is committed to conducting its activities in a sustainable and socially responsible manner to minimise and mitigate these impacts. In order to achieve its sustainability objectives, Sandfire applies the same high standards and commitment to absolute safety in the workplace, environmentally sound practices and transparent social responsibility at its exploration joint ventures as it does at its DeGrussa Copper Mine in Western Australia.

8.1 Borroloola Project

The Borroloola Project is located north of the McArthur River Mine (Xstrata), and is prospective for base metals, sedimentary manganese and iron ore. Sandfire has signed two farm-out agreements to advance the Borroloola Project. The Batten Trough JV covering the eastern portion of the tenements is under an option and joint venture agreement with MMG Exploration Pty Ltd, which can earn up to an 80% interest. The Borroloola West JV covering the western portion is under an agreement with Pacifico Minerals Ltd, which has the right to earn up to an 80% interest.

Pacifico Minerals advised Sandfire during the Quarter that it had completed expenditure of $1.5 million at the Borroloola West Project, thereby earning the right to acquire a 51% interest in the Project. Under the terms of the farm-in agreement, Pacifico may (within 60 days) elect to continue sole funding exploration into the second earn-in period with the objective of earning a 70% interest through expenditure of a further $2.5 million over 2 years.

Drilling conducted by Pacifico Minerals at Coppermine Creek subsequent to the reporting period (see Pacifico Minerals release – 6 August 2015) intersected extensive zones of fracturing that contained disseminations and lenses of semi-massive chalcopyrite. All three drill holes intersected copper mineralisation and extend the known mineralisation along the east-west trending Gordons Fault by more than 300m west of previous drilling, for a total strike length of just over 500m.

Pacifico reported that the drilling may have hit the fringe of a major copper mineralised system, with key highlights including:

  • CCD03 10m @ 1.3% Cu from 68m, including 2m @ 4.0 % Cu
  • CCR01 16m @ 0.5% Cu from 43m
  • CCD02 23m @ 0.3% Cu from 136m

Pacifico Minerals plans to undertake diamond drilling at the Coppermine Creek prospect during the December 2015 Quarter to test key targets.

Through the North Batten JV, MMG commenced drilling at the Rosie Creek Prospect in the Northern Territory with a total of five diamond holes and 1500 metres completed to the end of the quarter. Results confirm the presence of prospective stratigraphy and structure at the prospect with assay results awaited.

An NSAMT survey was also completed within the northern tenements hosting the Rosie Creek prospect during the period. The survey was effective in delineating the basin architecture.

8.2 Queensland Projects

A number of projects are held in the eastern succession of the Mount Isa region south and east of Cloncurry in northwest Queensland which are prospective for Broken Hill style lead-zinc-silver deposits such as the Cannington deposit (BHP) and the Ernest Henry Iron Oxide copper-gold deposits (Xstrata).

During the Quarter, Sandfire completed its initial $4 million earn-in at the Altia Project, located 65km southeast of Cloncurry, Queensland. This project has been explored under a Farm-in Joint Venture agreement with Minotaur Exploration, giving Sandfire the right to acquire its minimum interest of 60% in the tenements. Further, Sandfire has elected to continue sole funding exploration at Altia with a view to earning the right to acquire an 80% interest over the next three years through further expenditure of $4 million.

The activities undertaken by Sandfire at the Altia Project to date provide encouragement for further discoveries and increases in the current mineral inventory. One hole was completed at the Altia Main deposit targeting extensions to the north of the resource. The host lithologies were intersected, although no significant mineralisation was reported. Assay results are awaited.

During the Quarter, a total of five diamond drill-holes for 3,500m were completed at Sandfire's 100%-owned Breena Plains Project. Drilling tested historical lead-zinc drilling results in favourable stratigraphy at the BRLZ02 prospect. Anomalous assay results were returned for the three holes completed, but no significant mineralisation was identified. Down-hole EM surveys were completed on the holes, but no conductors were identified. At the BRLZ01 prospect, a highly magnetic anomaly was targeted with two holes during the Quarter. Neither hole successfully intersected the favourable stratigraphy for the style of mineralisation being targeted.

A small ground gravity survey over the BRCG02 and BRCG03 prospects, combined with soil sampling and an IP survey at BRCG03, assisted in delineating IOCG drill targets to be tested in the December 2015 Quarter.

8.3 New South Wales Projects

A number of project areas are held in the Lachlan Fold Belt of New South Wales near West Wyalong which are prospective for porphyry copper-gold mineralisation as found at Northparkes (China Moly), Cadia (Newcrest) and Cowal (Barrick). Farm-in agreements to earn up to 80% are held with Straits Resources Ltd (ASX: SRQ) on the Bland Creek Project and with Gold Fields Australasia Pty Ltd on the Marsden South Project.

Sandfire has entered into a binding agreement with Straits Resources Limited (ASX: SRQ) to acquire Straits' interests in the Temora and Currumburrama exploration projects in New South Wales for A$2.5 million (payable in Sandfire shares).

The Temora Project, located within the Lachlan Fold Belt, is 100%-owned by Straits and comprises the tenements EL6845 and EL5864. The Currumburrama Project, comprising the tenement EL5792, is 100% owned by Straits with Sandfire earning into the tenement through a joint venture. The Project is prospective for gold-copper porphyry mineralised systems associated with the Currumburrama intrusive complex.

Completion of the sale is subject to various standard Conditions Precedent including approval by the NSW Minister for Trade and Investment – Resources and Energy.

Work on the Temora Project will initially focus on data mining and developing a coherent mineralisation model to test underexplored targets. Preparations have commenced for an Aircore drilling program across the Wingrunner, Wilga Hills and Wellington North projects which will commence in the December 2015 Quarter. Drilling will test areas within the Lachlan fold belt for porphyry-style mineralisation.

A small diamond program is also planned for the December 2015 Quarter at the Marsden South Project.

8.4 Alford Project

The Alford Project on the Yorke Peninsula lies 20km NE of Wallaroo, South Australia in the southern portion of the Gawler Craton. The tenements are prospective for iron oxide copper-gold mineralisation as found at Prominent Hill (OZ Minerals), Olympic Dam (BHP) and Hillside (Rex Minerals). The Project includes an option to Joint Venture into the Alford Project (EL3969, PM268) with Argonaut Resources (ASX: ARE) to earn up to 75% of the project.

A geological review of the Netherleigh Park core is currently underway by consultant Graham Teale. Initial results suggest the presence of skarn-style mineralisation similar to the Kalkaroo deposit in the Curnamona, with a strong IOCG signature.

Competent Person's Statement – Exploration Results

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr. Shannan Bamforth who is a Member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr. Bamforth is a permanent employee of Sandfire Resources and has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Bamforth consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Exploration and Resource Targets

Any discussion in relation to the potential quantity and grade of Exploration Targets is only conceptual in nature. While Sandfire is confident that it will report additional JORC compliant resources for the DeGrussa Project, there has been insufficient exploration to define mineral resources in addition to the current JORC compliant Mineral Resource inventory and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of additional JORC compliant Mineral Resources.

JORC Compliance Statement

A summary of the information used in this release is as follows.

The DeGrussa VHMS (volcanic-hosted massive sulphide) copper-gold deposit is located 900 kilometres north of Perth and 150 kilometres north of Meekatharra in the Peak Hill Mineral Field. The system is hosted within a sequence of metasediments and mafic intrusions situated in the Bryah Basin that have been metamorphosed and structurally disrupted.

The sulphide mineralisation consists of massive sulphide and semi-massive sulphide mineralisation. Primary sulphide minerals present are pyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and sphalerite, together with magnetite. The sulphide mineralisation is interpreted to be derived from volcanic activity. The deposit shares characteristics with numerous VHMS deposits worldwide.

DeGrussa is located wholly within Mining Lease 52/1046. This tenement is subject to the Yugunga-Nya (WC99/046) and Gingirana Claims (WC06/002). A Land Access Agreement was executed with both claimant groups in November 2010. Sandfire is required to make royalty payments to the State and affected Native Title Claimants on a periodical basis.

Drilling of the DeGrussa massive sulphide lens (of which there are four defined lenses of mineralisation) and surrounding area is by diamond drill holes of NQ2 diameter core and, to a lesser extent, by Reverse Circulation (RC) face sampling hammer drilling. The nominal drill-hole spacing is less than 80m x 40m in the inferred areas of the Mineral Resource and increases in density as the classification increases to Measured where nominal 13m x 20m drill hole spacing is achieved. Drilling has been by conventional diamond drilling with a small number holes aided by the use of navigational drilling tools. RC drilling was completed with a nominal 140mm face sampling hammer and split on a cone or riffle splitter. Drill-hole collar locations were surveyed using RTK GPS, and all holes were down-hole surveyed using high speed gyroscopic survey tools.

Sampling of diamond core was based on geological intervals (standard length 0.5 m to 1.3 m). The core was cut into half or quarter (NQ2) to give sample weights up to 3 kg. RC samples were 1.0m samples down-hole, with sample weights between 3.5kg and 7kg depending on material type. Field quality control procedures involved assay standards, along with blanks and duplicates. These QC samples were inserted at an average rate of 1:15.

The sample preparation of diamond core involved oven drying, coarse crushing of the core sample down to ~10 mm followed by pulverisation of the entire sample to a grind size of 90% passing 75 micron. A pulp sub-sample was collected for analysis by either four acid digest with an ICP/OES, ICP/MS (multi element) finish or formed into fused beads for XRF determination on base metals and a fire assay for Au.

All reported assays have been length weighted. No top-cuts have been applied. A nominal 0.3% Cu lower cut-off is applied. High grade intervals internal to broader zones of sulphide mineralisation are reported as included intervals.

The attitude of the ore bodies at DeGrussa is variable but there is a dominant southerly dip from ~40 to 90 degrees flat-lying and is drilled to grid west with drill holes inclined between -60 and -90 degrees. As such the dominant hole direction is north and with varying intersection angles all results are clearly defined as either down hole or approximate true width.

Density of the massive sulphide orebody ranges from 2.8g/cm3 to 4.9g/cm3, with an average density reading of 3.7g/cm3. Geotechnical and structural readings recorded from diamond drilling include recovery, RQD, structure type, dip, dip direction, alpha and beta angles, and descriptive information. All data is stored in the tables Oriented Structure, Geotechnical RQD, Core Recovery, Interval Structure as appropriate.

A suite of multi-element assays are completed on each mineralised sample and include all economic and typical deleterious elements in copper concentrates. This suite includes Cu, Au, Ag, Zn, Pb, S, Fe, Sb, Bi, Cd and As.

Regional drilling has been completed using a combination of RC and AC drilling. A majority of the drilling is preliminary in nature and starts with 800m x 100m AC drilling where the geology and geochemistry is revaluated to determine the requirement for follow 400m x 100m drilling. If significant anomalism is identified in the AC drilling then follow up RC drilling will be conducted to determine the opportunity for delineating potentially economic mineralisation. Whist the main aim of the exploration at Doolgunna is to identify additional VHMS mineralisation in some areas of regional land holding it is currently the interpreted that there is shear zones located on the contact between dolerite and sediments hosting auriferous quartz vein stockworks with some coincident copper.

AC and RC regional samples are prepared at Ultra Trace in Perth with the original samples being dried at 80° for up to 24 hours and weighed, and Boyd crushed to -4mm. Samples are then split to less than 2kg through linear splitter and excess retained. Sample splits are weighed at a frequency of 1/20 and entered into the job results file. Pulverising is completed using LM5 mill to 90% passing 75%µm. Assaying is completed using a Mixed 4 Acid Digest (MAD) 0.3g charge and MAD Hotbox 0.15g charge methods with ICPOES or ICPMS. The samples are digested and refluxed with a mixture of acids including Hydrofluoric, Nitric, Hydrochloric and Perchloric acids and conducted for multi elements including Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, As, Fe, S, Sb, Bi, Mo. The MAD Hotbox method is an extended digest method that approaches a total digest for many elements however some refractory minerals are not completely attacked. The elements are then determined by ICPOES or ICPMS finish. Samples are analysed for Au, Pd and Pt by firing a 40g of sample with ICP AES/MS finish.
