Bottletree – Buried Cu-Au-Mo porphyry system discovery!

Bottletree

Buried Cu-Au-Mo porphyry system

  • Modern multi-element soil survey data indicate that high copper levels continue undercover to the west of current area of focus.
  • Structural data from current drilling indicates that many interpreted latestage dacite porphyry intrusions are likely to originate further west.
  • Appears that the Bottletree porphyry system may be significantly larger than originally contemplated.

Magmatic Ni-Cu-Co-PGE sulphide project Greenvale Project

Proven Nickel-Copper-PGE sulphide province – but practically unexplored by drilling

  • Ni-Cu-PGE Project tenement area: 2,058km2 (including new applications) (Julimar Project area ~750km2 (ASX:CHN))
  • 40+ fertile troctolite intrusions Only 1 drilled
  • Troctolites, pyroxenites and gabbronorites indicative of large-scale magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide ore bodies
  • Extensive airborne geophysical surveys + academic research by Anglo American (2007-2012) + very minor drilling confirmed presence of Norilsk/Voisey's Bay-style ore deposit systems
  • Initial drill results considered by Anglo to be very significant
  • Numerous differentiated mafic and ultramafic intrusions (Ovoids and feeder dykes) with high potential for magmatic Ni-Cu-Co-PGE sulphide mineralisation identified in high resolution airborne magnetics

Magmatic Ni-Cu-Co-PGE sulphide project

Magmatic Ni-Cu-Co-PGE sulphide project

  • Numerous troctolite, pyroxenite and gabbronorite intrusions across entire project area indicative of large-scale magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide ore bodies similar to Norilsk/Voisey's Bay
  • Microprobe analyses of olivine from intrusions (Fo72-Fo85) consistent with Norilsk/Voisey's Bay – significant Ni vs MgO depletion – indicates Ni sulphide deposit likely to exist in the project area
  • Hornblende geobarometry indicates intrusions were emplaced @ 5.5kbars (15-20km depth) – ideal for mineralised mafic intrusions
  • Evidence of wall rock contamination and multiple phases of magma intrusion are key features of Ni-Cu-PGE ore systems
  • SHRIMP and U-Pb geochronology indicate 460-470Ma age (mafic/ultramafic intrusions) and 430Ma age (Dido Tonalite)
  • Initial 9-hole diamond drill program intersected multiple >15m thick disseminated Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide mineralisation (up to 0.58% Ni, 0.28% Cu) in Norilsk/Voisey's Bay type intrusions3
  • No other follow-up largely unexplored

Magmatic Ni-Cu-Co-PGE sulphide project Greenvale Project

Magmatic Ni-Cu-Co-PGE sulphide project – Palmer Rails

  • 9 diamond drill holes (2,700m)
  • Targeted IP and soil anomalies
  • Intersected mafic/ultramafic intrusions incl gabbronorite, troctolite, pyroxenite
  • "Extremely encouraging": Intrusions show substantial wall rock contamination and magma mixing
  • Palmer Rails North geochemically distinct from PR South
  • Magmatic sulphides present in most drill holes (both mafic and ultramafic)
  • Intergrown pyrrhotite-chalcopyritepentlandite grains intercumulus to silicate grains
  • PR North is Ni-rich, PR South PGE-rich

SPQ – a compelling investment case

Leveraging the green transition

Undisputed most critical element for Zero-Carbon Target (* Wood Mackenzie, Oct 2022)

Perfect timing Transformational advances towards major Cu-Au-Mo porphyry discovery

Ramping up drilling on additional porphyry and Ni-Cu-PGE projects in 2023

Newly recognised Cu-Au porphyry and Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide provinces

Future-facing focus on Cu, Ni We can trust the world's population to progress a green transition.

Copper, above all other future-facing elements, is the most fundamental.

This is a period of global change and opportunity and SPQ is moving forward on multiple fronts.

We're driven to expedite SPQ's projects.
