Quarterly Activities Report
Ended 30 June 2020
OVERVIEW
The Directors of Acacia Coal Limited ( Acacia or the Company ) provide a summary of activities in the June 2020 quarter.
During the quarter, the Company primarily focussed on reviewing new opportunities and the activities at its Mt Bruce and Mt Windarra projects. In particular, together with its geological consultants, the Company undertook a review of the exploration results at Mt Windarra and Mt Bruce to better understand the projects’ perspectivity and the appropriate next steps in relation to each. Consistent with the Company’s review and earlier determination and announcement that Mt Bruce was immaterial to the Company’s strategic focus, the Mt Bruce tenement was surrendered during the quarter.
In respect of new projects, the Company is delighted that it has executed a binding share sale agreement to acquire 100% of Graphene Technology Solutions Ltd (“GTS”), a South Australian based company seeking to commercialise graphene based technologies to disrupt or enhance multi bullion dollar industries. The details of the acquisition were announced to the market on 22 July 2020.
Overview of Project Activities
Mt Windarra Update
Assay results received in the March quarter from Mt Windarra confirmed the presence of lateritic nickelcobalt and sulphide-hosted nickel-copper mineralisation at the Mt Windarra project. The drill programme comprised nine reverse circulation holes for 946 metres.

The objective of the drill programme was to confirm and define the extents and grade of previously indicated lateritic nickel-cobalt and nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation within the target ultramafic lithologies captured by the project. The indicated mineralisation lies within a komatiitic xenolith preserved within a major granitoid pluton. The komatiite body most likely represents roof pendants and synclinal keel root zones of greenstone synclinoria and is thought to be stratigraphically equivalent to the Windarra Ultramafic, host to economic nickel mineralisation at the Windarra group of nickel mines.
The observed mineralisation sits within or beneath the weathered profile developed in komatiitic xenolith. Extensive transported cover sequences obscure the underlying rocks with the local geology outlined by a combination of magnetic and drilling information.

GENERAL OVERVIEW OF PROJECTS & LOCATION
Acacia Coal has one granted tenement being the Mt Windarra Project.
Mt Windarra
The Mt Windarra Project comprises a granted Exploration licence (39/1996), which is located in the Mt Margaret Goldfield of Western Australia and is situated about 25km to the west of Laverton. Access to the Mt Windarra Project is via the sealed Leonora-Laverton road to Mt Windarra. The Mt Windarra Project covers a land area of 16.11km[2] .
Project Geology
The Archaean Komatiites of the eastern Yilgarn Craton are the focus for Ni-Cu-Co mineralisation. Basal accumulations of massive sulphide mineralisation are generally concentrated in structural depressions and
==> picture [220 x 337] intentionally omitted <==
the basal contacts of thick ultramafic flows (Kambalda-type) and as disseminated sulphides in thick dunite units (Mt Keithtype). Deposits in the Windarra region are predominantly the Kambalda-type.
The Windarra region forms part of the Mt Margaret Goldfield. Mafic and ultramafics, metavolcanics and intrusives form important members of the Windarra Greenstone Belt. A major granitoid pluton has intruded the stratigraphy and has locally stoped out the greenstone units.
Exploration Completed
A total of 50 drill holes for 4,103m of drilling have now been completed to date inclusive of RAB, Aircore, RC and Diamond Drilling. Previous exploration completed has delineated nickel and cobalt mineralisation associated with ultramafic lithologies. Extensive transported cover sequences have obscured the underlying lithologies, and thus the local geology has been defined based on a combination of
magnetic and drilling information.

Other
The Company has lodged a voluntary suspension request whilst it undertakes the completion of the GTS transaction and it is expected that the Company will return to trade on satisfying the requirements of Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules in connection with the transaction.
The Company is looking forward on behalf of shareholders to transition the Company to focus on Graphene opportunities within the GTS portfolio and will be pursuing completion of that transaction as soon as practicable.
For the purpose of Section 6 of the Appendix 5B, all payments made to related parties have been paid in relation to director fees.
