ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

7 July 2021

Follow-up Air-core Drilling Provides Further Strong Evidence of Emerging Porphyry Discovery at Toora West

Further encouraging indications from shallow air-core drilling ~15km NW of the Thursday’s Gossan prospect provide a strong target for deeper diamond drilling

  • Follow-up air-core drilling at the Toora West prospect, ~15km north-west of Thursday’s Gossan, has returned further strong indications of an underlying copper porphyry system with new assay results including:

    • 1m at 0.21% Cu from 32m down-hole, 1m at 0.12% Cu from 37m and 3m at 0.25% Cu and 1.45g/t Ag from 45m (STWAC033)

    • 5m at 0.22% Cu from 33m down-hole, including 2m at 0.38% Cu from 33m and 1m at 0.22% Cu from 45m (to end-of-hole) (STWAC037)

    • 1m at 0.44% Cu and 1.51g/t Ag from 55m down-hole (STWAC040)

    • 1m at 20.4g/t Ag from 37m down-hole and 1m at 0.14% Cu and 198ppm molybdenum from 44m (STWAC041)

  • Air-core is not a powerful drilling technique and its utility is getting through the 30 metres or more of barren transported cover in order to obtain a few metres of bedrock sample for geochemical analysis.

  • Evidence from the air-core drilling is that there has been a degree of remobilisation of metals within the palaeo-water table.

  • This means that the low grades seen in the air-core results are unlikely to reflect fresh in-situ mineralisation grades – which can only be determined by follow-up diamond drilling.

  • Visual observations from both the original and follow-up air-core programs have noted: o Widespread weak-to-moderate pyrite, chalcopyrite, secondary chalcocite and molybdenite sulphide mineralisation extending over an area ~1km east-west to 2km north-south and which remains open in all directions; and

  • Mineralisation is associated with alteration interpreted as inner-propylitic to outer potassic in character, meaning the target higher-grade potassic core is likely to be near-surface.

  • If confirmed by follow-up diamond drilling, the Toora West prospect represents a blind, grass-roots porphyry discovery that demonstrates Stavely Minerals’ ability to identify previously unknown porphyry targets in the Stavely Volcanic Arc and further reinforces the province-scale exploration potential of its tenure in western Victoria.

ASX Announcement 7 July 2021

==> picture [145 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Further to its announcement of 12 May 2021, Stavely Minerals Limited (ASX Code: SVY – “Stavely Minerals”) is pleased to report highly encouraging follow-up air-core drilling results from the Toora West porphyry prospect in Exploration Licence 5478, part of its 100%-owned Stavely Copper-Gold Project in Victoria (Figures 1 and 2).

Toora West is located ~15km north-west of the Cayley Lode discovery at the Thursday’s Gossan prospect, where a major resource drill-out is continuing.

Commenting on the latest results, Stavely Minerals’ Executive Chairman, Chris Cairns, said:

“These air-core results confirm earlier clear indications of a second emerging porphyry discovery in the Stavely Volcanic Arc which will need to be tested by deeper diamond drilling as soon as practicable.

“To put these shallow air-core results in context, it’s worth recounting the early history of the discovery of the world-class Northparkes porphyries in NSW.

“Auger-core drill hole ACH697-21, drilled on Avadale Lane by Geopeko (the exploration arm of Peko-Walsend Limited) ‘intersected pink K-feldspar alteration and minor chalcopyrite-bornite mineralisation in 2m of core, assaying 0.25% Cu. Follow-up RAB drilling defined a large Cu-Au anomaly and in 1977 a diamond hole was drilled beneath the peak of the anomaly, returning 229 metres at 0.61% Cu and 0.67g/t Au from 65m.’[1]

“This account recalls the discovery of the E22 porphyry deposit, the first porphyry to be discovered in the Northparkes district.

“While investors are cautioned that not all air-core anomalies turn into mines, the low-grade sniffs produced by reconnaissance programs can turn into something more substantial with subsequent diamond drill testing. And while there are never guarantees in exploration, we certainly consider the early-stage results at Toora West to be very encouraging. It is worth noting that the Toora West prospect appears to have more of a copper-molybdenum porphyry flavour rather than a copper-gold porphyry at this early stage of evaluation.

“If confirmed by diamond drilling, this would highlight the prospectivity of the entire Stavely Volcanic Arc for additional discoveries – further leveraging our dominant, first-mover position in this under-explored district and complementing the emerging development project which we have at Thursday’s Gossan, where an advanced shallow Mineral Resource definition program is well advanced at the Cayley Lode.

“Importantly, Stavely Minerals has demonstrated an ability to target blind porphyry mineralisation under barren transported cover.

“Our exploration team is currently prioritising a number of additional potential porphyry targets for reconnaissance exploration later in the year, after the winter rains.”

In March 2021, Stavely Minerals completed a first-pass 32-hole air-core drilling program at the Toora West porphyry prospect in EL5478.

The air-core program was designed as wide-spaced reconnaissance drilling on nominal 400m spaced lines and 200m collars on the lines. Based on visual observations of chalcopyrite, secondary chalcocite and molybdenite sulphide mineralisation in drill holes STWAC029 to 031, a further 18 follow-up holes were completed to tighten the drill pattern to 200m lines and 100m-spaced collars on the lines (Figures 3-5).

ASX Announcement 7 July 2021

==> picture [145 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Assay results have now been received for the follow-up air-core program.

From the initial program, assay results have confirmed the visual observations:

o STWAC029

▪ 1m at 0.15% Cu from 58m down-hole, and

▪ 3m at 0.34% Cu from 64m, including:

  • 1m at 0.61% Cu and 2.46g/t Ag from 64m

o STWAC030

▪ 3m at 0.17% Cu from 35m down-hole, including:

  • 1m at 0.32% Cu from 35m, and

▪ 1m at 0.14% Cu from 45m

o STWAC031

▪ 3m at 0.11% Cu from 39m down-hole, and

▪ 1m at 0.18% Cu from 50m to the end-of-hole

And from the follow-up air-core program:

o STWAC033

▪ 1m at 0.21% Cu from 32m down-hole,

▪ 1m at 0.12% Cu from 37m, and

▪ 3m at 0.25% Cu and 1.45g/t Ag from 45m

o STWAC037

▪ 5m at 0.22% Cu from 33m down-hole, including

  • 2m at 0.38% Cu from 33m, and

▪ 1m at 0.22% Cu from 45m to the end-of-hole

o STWAC040

▪ 1m at 0.44% Cu and 1.51 g/t Ag from 55m down-hole

o STWAC041

▪ 1m at 20.4g/t Ag from 37m down-hole, and

▪ 1m at 0.14% Cu and 198ppm molybdenum from 44m

Drill sections are presented in Figures 6 to 9.

The observation of secondary chalcocite overgrowing other sulphide phases clearly indicates a degree of copper remobilisation in the weathering profile and therefore early shallow results in air-core drilling may not reflect true primary grades.

Widespread weak-to-moderate pyrite, chalcopyrite, secondary chalcocite and molybdenite sulphide mineralisation occurs over an area approximately 1km east-west to 2km northsouth, with the noted mineralisation remaining open in all directions.

Mineralisation is hosted in granodiorite, dacite porphyry and diorite intrusive phases as well as country-rock andesite and sandstone units.

Mineralisation is associated with epidote alteration, indicating a possible inner-propylitic position, while quartz veins display ‘pinking’ on the margins, likely a potassic feldspar selvedge to the veins, indicating a more proximal outer-potassic signature (Figure 10).

ASX Announcement 7 July 2021

At this early stage, the Toora West prospect has the geochemical signature of a coppermolybdenum porphyry with molybdenum assays of up to 198ppm and silver to 20.4 g/t associated with copper mineralisation.

Stavely Minerals’ exploration team is in the process of prioritising a number of additional porphyry targets for reconnaissance exploration later this year after the winter rains have abated and paddock access has improved.

Once the reconnaissance programs on these additional targets have been completed, the targets will be ranked, alongside the Toora West prospect, for follow-up diamond drilling.

If confirmed by follow-up diamond drilling, the Toora West porphyry prospect represents a blind, grass-roots porphyry discovery under approximately 30m of transported cover material which would reinforce the outstanding potential to make additional copper discoveries within the Stavely Volcanic Arc outside of the advanced Thursday’s Gossan prospect.

Given the lack of systematic exploration in the Stavely Volcanic Arc, it is unknown if Thursday’s Gossan is the best opportunity out there or whether it was the easiest to identify given that it sits in a ‘window’ of limited basement exposure.

The rest of the Stavely Belt – including the Stavely Belt equivalent Narrapumelap Belt and the Elliot Belt in Stavely Minerals’ large Exploration Licence 006870 – remain largely unexplored under shallow cover (Figure 11).

Stavely Minerals has the largest and most prospective tenure in the Stavely Volcanic Arc and is by far the most active explorer in this emerging copper province.

As the shallow Mineral Resource definition drilling program at the Cayley Lode discovery continues to progress well (with access to the southern paddock expected from 1 October 2021), the overall program will be completed towards the end of the year, with a maiden Mineral Resource estimate due out shortly thereafter.

This will pave the way for completion of economic studies including engineering, metallurgy, environmental and plant design as the foundation for Scoping and Pre-Feasibility Studies.

The Scoping Study elements including metallurgical testwork, open pit optimisations, mining schedules, preliminary process plant designs and capital cost estimates are all progressing with the Scoping Study expected for release by the end of the March Quarter 2022.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of
sampling (eg cut channels,
random chips, or specific
specialised industry
standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals
under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes,
or handheld XRF
instruments, etc). These
examples should not be
taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.
All aircore (AC) drill holes have been routinely sampled at
1m intervals. Samples for every metre are collected by the
drill offsider from the cyclone directly into a bucket (if dry)
or, if wet, through a garden sieve to separate the coarse
fraction from the sludge. The sample is then placed on a
black plastic sheet on the ground. Samples are placed for
every metre in rows of 10.
Selected one-metre intervals are sampled for assay
analysis. For the 1m samples – a representative grab
sample is collected by mixing up (to homogenise) samples
before using a scoop and placed in pre-labelled calico
bags. Samples are no more than 3kg.
Include reference to
measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of
any measurement tools or
systems used.
Sample representivity was ensured by a combination of
Company Procedures regarding quality control (QC) and
quality assurance/ testing (QA). Certified standards and
blanks were inserted into the assay batches.

- In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively
simple (eg ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used
to obtain 1 m samples from
which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for
fire assay’). In other cases
more explanation may be
required, such as where
there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
Drill sampling techniques are considered industry standard
for the Stavely work program.
The aircore drill samples were submitted to Australian
Laboratory Services (“ALS”) in Adelaide, SA. Laboratory

tests
The nature, quality and
appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory
procedures used and
whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
1m AC grab samples were analysed by multielement
ICPAES Analysis - Method ME-ICP61. A 0.25g sample is
pre-digested for 10-15 minutes in a mixture of nitric and
perchloric acids, then hydrofluoric acid is added and the
mixture is evaporated to dense fumes of perchloric
(incipient dryness). The residue is leached in a mixture of
nitric and hydrochloric acids, the solution is then cooled and
diluted to a final volume of 12.5mls. Elemental
concentrations are measured simultaneously by ICP
Atomic Emission Spectrometry. This technique approaches
total dissolution of most minerals and is considered an
appropriate assay method for porphyry copper-gold
systems.
This technique is a four acid digest with ICP-AES or AAS
finish.
The 1m grab splits were also analysed for gold using
Method Au-AA23. Up to a 30g sample is fused at
approximately 1,100oC with alkaline fluxes including lead
oxide. During the fusion process lead oxide is reduced to
molten lead which acts as a collector for gold. When the
fused mass is cooled the lead separates from the impurities
(slag) and is placed in a cupel in a furnace at approximately
900oC. The lead oxidizes to lead oxide, being absorbed by
the cupel, leaving a bead (prill) of gold, silver (which is
added as a collector) and other precious metals. The prill is
dissolved in aqua regia with a reduced final volume. Gold
content is determined by flame AAS using matrix matched
standards. For samples which are difficult to fuse a reduced
charge may be used to yield full recovery of gold. This
technique approaches total dissolution of most minerals
and is considered an appropriate assay method for
detecting gold mineralisation.
For geophysical tools,
spectrometers, handheld
XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in
determining the analysis
including instrument make
and model, reading times,
calibrations factors applied

Toora West Prospect
In 2013, Diatreme Resources Limited completed ground
gravity in the northern half of EL5478, over the prospective
Cambrian aged volcanics. In 2015, Stavely Minerals
engaged Newexco Services to reprocess and model the
ground gravity data as well as the publicly available
regional aeromagnetic data. A coincident gravity low with
peripheral and central magnetic highs was identified within
the Cambrian aged volcanics in the northern portion of
EL5478 and named the Toora West prospect.

Yarram Park Project
Toora West Prospect
The aeromagnetic data shows that the northern half of
EL5478 covers an offset of the Mount Stavely Belt, or a
structurally offset portion of the Bunnagul Belt, which is
overlain by approximately 80 metres of Quaternary cover.

aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration
Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations
(eg cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are
usually Material and should
be stated.
All reported assays have been average weighted according
to the sample interval.
No top cuts have been applied.
An average nominal 0.1% Cu lower cut-off is reported as
being potentially significant in the context of this drill
program.

The assumptions used for
any reporting of metal

No metal equivalent reporting is used or applied.
Relationship
between
mineralisatio
n widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are
particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration
Results.
If the geometry of the
mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known,
its nature should be reported.
Due to the early stage of exploration, the geometry and
extent of any primary mineralisation is not known.
If it is not known and only the
down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a
clear statement to this effect
(eg ‘down hole length, true
width not known’).
Mineralisation results are reported as “down-hole” intervals
as true widths are not yet known.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and
sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any
significant discovery being
reported These should
include, but not be limited to
a plan view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate
sectional views.
All relevant exploration data is shown in diagrams and
discussed in the text.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive
reporting of all Exploration
Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of
both low and high grades
and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration
Results.
All drill hole results received have been reported in this
announcement. No holes are omitted for which complete
results have been received.
Other

Other exploration data, if
meaningful and material,
should be reported including
(but not limited to): geological
observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical
survey results; bulk samples
– size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical
and rock characteristics;
All relevant exploration data is shown on figures and
discussed in the text.
