High-Priority Targets Identified in NSW by Geophysical Survey Ahead of Major New Drilling Push

Exciting new targets defined by first-mover geophysical surveys, supplemented by encouraging assay results from recent drilling

Highlights

  • Processing and interpretation of the landmark FALCON airborne gravity gradiometry ( AGG survey flown this year over the Lachlan Copper-Gold Project in NSW now completed by Talisman’s geophysical consultants.

  • Processing and interpretation of the extensive VTEM Max airborne electro-magnetic ( AEM survey flown concurrently with the AGG survey by Talisman’s geophysical consultants in progress, with preliminary interpretation by Talisman geological staff completed.

  • Three high-priority AEM and 10 high-priority AGG targets defined to date so far from a first-pass –

  • interpretation of the high-quality dataset further targets expected to be identified in the coming weeks from ongoing interpretation of both datasets.

  • Assays returned for recent Reverse Circulation ( RC ) drill programs at Carpina North outline wide intervals of gold mineralisation, confirming the gold-in-soils target. Assays include 40m @ 0.51g/t Au from 24m down-hole in hole CNRC0012.

  • Complete assays returned for the RC drill program at Kaolin Shaft confirm presence of polymetallic base & precious metal mineralisation, including 2m @ 1.42 g/t Au and 2.5g/t Ag from 16m down-hole, 2m @ 0.67% Pb, 2.28% Zn and 5.1g/t Ag from 92m down-hole and 4m @ 0.50% Pb, 1.41% Zn and 2.5g/t Ag from 106m down-hole in KSRC0012.

  • Further ground-based work underway at both targets including preparations for a major new drilling campaign, scheduled to commence this quarter (weather and access permitting).

Talisman Mining Ltd (ASX: TLM, Talisman ) is pleased to advise that it has identified a number of high-priority exploration targets within its 100%-owned Lachlan Copper-Gold Project in NSW, after receiving preliminary results from the interpretation of data from the project-wide geophysical surveys completed earlier this year.

Initial testing of the targets will begin in the latter half of this year as part of a major new program of drilling scheduled to commence this quarter, weather and access permitting. This follows delays to the Company’s drilling schedule due to the very high levels of rainfall which have been experienced across Australia’s Eastern Seaboard this year.

The completion of the AGG geophysical survey processing and interpretation by Talisman’s geophysical consultants, Southern Geoscience, marks a key milestone for the Company.

1

The geophysical surveys, which were completed in the first half of the year, comprised a VTEM Max airborne-electromagnetic survey of 6,285-line kilometres over four key target areas, and a FALCON AGG survey of 15,456-line kilometres over three major structural lineaments within Talisman’s tenure portfolio.

Interpretation of these two airborne geophysical datasets, together with Talisman’s review of prospectivity vectors developed from a close study of other economic deposits in the Cobar Superbasin, has highlighted 13 high-priority targets which will be followed up through systematic exploration work, including drill testing, over the next six months.

Chair and Management Comment

Talisman’s Chairman, Kerry Harmanis commented: “ We have experienced a number of frustrating delays this year due to a combination of heavy rainfall on the East Coast, which has restricted drilling access, and ongoing bottlenecks at the assay laboratories.

“Despite this, we have been able to progress ou r major regional geophysical surveys which have already identified more than a dozen high-quality targets. This reinforces the quality of our NSW portfolio and the enormous opportunity we see in front of us to make a company-changing discovery.

“We are no w gearing up to resume a major new drilling push in the current quarter, weather permitting, with drilling to continue for the foreseeable future. Thanks to the ongoing income stream from our iron ore royalty, the Company is in a very sound position financially and remains exceptionally well placed for success. The next few months should be an exciting time for Talisman shareholders.”

Talisman’s CEO, Shaun Vokes, said : “The results coming out of the recently completed regional scale geophysical surveys are very exciting and rapidly advancing our understanding of mineral systems in this complex, structurally controlled region. We have always considered that the Cobar Basin is highly prospective and, as we progress exploration, I strongly believe that the next major mineral discovery in this area will come from a mineral system concealed under cover. I therefore believe that our significant investment in these geophysical surveys will bear significant fruit as exploration advances.

“The analysis of the vast amounts of data obtained from these surveys takes time, and I appreciate that news-flow during this period can be limited. However, the Talisman team is working exceptionally hard and applying a methodical and systematic approach, in combination with the latest science, to our exploration activities to ensure that our shareholders ’ funds are spent efficiently and with the greatest chance of achieving exploration success .”

FALCON AGG Targets

Talisman’s review of prospectivity vectors[1] indicated that all known mineral deposits have a significant gravity anomaly associated with economic mineralisation and surrounding alteration halos.

region is believed to result in identifiable gravity anomalies, indicating the presence of concealed mineral systems – even below thick cover.

Additionally, since mineralisation in the Cobar Superbasin is generally known to be highly structurally controlled, the acquisition of AGG data assists greatly in interpreting regional and prospect-scale structures and the timing of structures relative to regional mineralisation events.

Interpretation of the AGG survey data by Talisman and its geophysical consultants has identified over 50 gravity anomalies which indicate that density of bedrock features under cover is not consistent with previously interpreted geology, and that there may be additional complexity or mass introduced to the bedrock in that location associated with mineralised systems.

Of these gravity anomalies, 10 areas have been identified as high priority (refer Figure 1 ) due to a significant and as yet unexplained gravity response coincident with other prospective features (magnetic anomaly or geochemical anomaly).

Follow-up of these targets has commenced with field personnel conducting mapping and regolith sampling over the high-priority target areas. Where this work confirms the potential for mineral anomalism and/or mineralising vectors, drill testing will be progressed as quickly as possible.

VTEM Max AEM Targets

Airborne electromagnetic surveys have been definitive in identifying conductive anomalies associated with economic massive sulphide mineralisation in the Cobar Superbasin. Talisman’s AEM survey areas were targeted on areas identified by Dr Jon Hronsky’s review of Talisman’s tenure portfolio[2] as most likely to host similar base metal dominant massive sulphide mineralisation.

A preliminary review of late-time channel profile data from the survey has identified three distinct conductive anomalies (refer Figure 1 ) thought to be associated with conductive bodies in basement rocks.

These distinct anomalies have both been identified in areas with nearby mineral occurrences on EL8658 and EL8414, highlighting the potential prospectivity of Talisman’s Central Lachlan P roject. An in-depth review of this data to generate further targets is currently being undertaken by Talisman’s geophysical consultants, Southern Geoscience, and further targets are expected to be announced shortly.

The three high-priority conductive anomalies identified in the preliminary review will be modelled into Maxwell plate models where possible, allowing Talisman to target drilling based on the most certain interpretation of the conductive anomaly. Talisman’s field geology team will shortly conduct geological mapping and regolith sampling over these targets to further constrain drill-ready targets.

Reverse Circulation Drilling Results

Talisman has now received final assays from all RC drill-holes completed earlier in the year on the Carpina North, Murray’s Mine and Kaolin Shaft Gold Pros pects. One assay batch remains outstanding at the Babinda Copper Prospect. Extended assay turnaround times were experienced due to nationwide backlogs at commercial assay laboratories.

Carpina North Gold Prospect (EL8571: TLM 100%)

A total of 1,899m was drilled at Carpina North ( Figure 2 and Table 1 ) and significant pervasive gold mineralisation was encountered through many drill-holes, confirming the interpretation of the previously reported gold-in-soil anomaly[3] as being related to a concealed epithermal gold system.

Talisman’s geologists have interpreted the fine -grained silica hosting pyrite and arsenopyrite associated with gold mineralisation as analogous to silica capping and alteration zones in the upper portions of a low-sulfidation epithermal gold system, similar to the Mount Boppy gold mine located further north along the eastern margin of the Cobar Basin (refer Appendix 1 ).

Significant drill results at the Carpina North Gold Prospect ( Table 2 ) include:

  • CNRC0001

  • 4m @ 0.42 g/t Au from 22m down-hole

  • CNRC0002

  • 2m @ 0.42g/t Au from 26m down-hole; and

  • 2m @ 0.83g/t Au from 100m down-hole; and

  • CNRC0006

  • 26m @ 0.47g/t Au from 10m down-hole

  • CNRC0007

  • 2m @ 0.57g/t Au from 10m down-hole

  • CNRC0008

  • 8m @ 0.47g/t Au from 30m down-hole

  • CNRC0009

  • 4m @ 0.32g/t Au from 84m down-hole; and

  • 6m @ 0.28g/t Au from 92m down-hole

  • CNRC0010

  • 2m @ 0.29g/t Au from 16m down-hole; and

  • 2m @ 0.28g/t Au, 0.6g/t Ag from 42m down-hole; and

  • 2m @ 0.31g/t Au from 68m down-hole; and

  • 22m @ 0.44g/t Au from 104m down-hole, including:

    • 4m @ 0.89g/t Au from 122m down-hole ; and
  • 2m @ 0.26g/t Au from 148m down-hole

  • CNRC0011

  • 10m @ 0.68g/t Au from 24m down-hole; and

  • 6m @ 0.29g/t Au from 114m down-hole

  • CNRC0012

  • 2m @ 0.75g/t Au from 2m down-hole; and

  • 40m @ 0.51g/t Au from 24m down-hole , including:

    • 14m @ 0.84g/t Au from 44m down-hole ; and
  • 24m @ 0.42g/t Au from 76m down-hole; and

  • 4m @ 0.47g/t Au from 110m down-hole; and

  • 8m @ 0.37g/t Au from 124m down-hole.

Best intercepts from each hole are labelled in Figure 2 , also showing the target gold-in-soil areas from soil sampling work. Where multiple intercepts were recorded in a hole, the highest-grade intercept is labelled. Where no significant intercept was encountered, the hole is labelled “NSI”.

Further work on the Carpina North area will focus on interpretation of recently acquired AGG data, detailed geological mapping and widespread regolith sampling to determine vectors towards potential high-grade mineralised zones of the theorised epithermal system.

Figure 2 - Carpina North RC drilling with best intercepts over gold-in-soil anomaly

Murray’s Mine Gold Prospect (EL8719: TLM 100%)

A total of 936m was drilled on the Murray’s Mine Gold Prospect ( Table 1 ), seeking to confirm historic drilling and also test potential mineralised extensions to the north based on a gold-in-soil anomaly[4] . Results have confirmed the mineralisation in the known structure (refer Figure 3 ) and indicate the mineralised zone widens at depth, however extensional drilling did not intersect further gold mineralisation.

Analysis of drill chips and down-hole geochemistry suggests there may be a thin veneer of transported surface cover which has displaced the target soil anomaly from its original position. Intersections of low-grade gold mineralisation located around the main mineralised structure suggest that multiple smaller gold bearing structures are present and may similarly widen at depth.

Significant drill results at the Murray’s Mine Gold Prospect ( Table 2 ) include:

  • MMRC0002

  • 12m @ 0.64g/t Au from 30m down-hole, including: ▪ 2m @ 1.81g/t Au from 30m down-hole

  • MMRC0003

  • 20m @ 0.55g/t Au from 148m down-hole, including: ▪ 2m @ 1.52g/t Au from 156m down-hole.

– Figure 3 Murrays Mine Gold Prospect Drilling Section

Further work on the Murray’s Mine Gold Prospect will focus on auger drilling to ensure gold -in-soil anomalies are reflective of basement targets and further interpreting possible extensions and repetitions of the mineralised structure which might suggest a target of significant gold endowment.

Kaolin Shaft Gold Prospect (EL8680: TLM 100%)

Talisman reported polymetallic base and precious mineral results for holes KSRC0008-KSRC0011 at the Kaolin Shaft prospect previously[5] which highlighted variably silicified and ferruginous volcanogenic sediments, tuffs and other volcanics of the Canbelego-Mineral Hill Volcanic Belt ( CMHVB ) overlying Girilambone Group metasedimentary basement. Drilling targeted a wide goldin-soil anomaly previously identified by Talisman during geochemical sampling[6] .

During the February 2022 drill program, 10 RC holes were drilled across three section lines for a total 1,897m ( Figure 4 and Table 1 ). The drilling intersected zones of finely disseminated visual base metal sulphides (sphalerite-galena-chalcopyrite) consistent with the distal zones of a volcanic massive sulphide ( VMS ) mineral system.

Significant assay drill results encountered during the program in addition to those previously announced for holes KSRC0008-KSRC0011 are:

  • KSRC0003

  • 18m @ 0.32g/t Au, 19.49g/t Ag from surface, including: ▪ 6m @ 0.73g/t Au, 38.7g/t Ag from 4m down-hole

  • KSRC0007

  • 12m @ 0.13% Pb, 0.26% Zn, 0.29g/t Au from 150m down-hole; and

  • 14m @ 0.12% Pb, 0.23% Zn, 0.21% Cu , 0.61g/t Au , 2.23g/t Ag from 168m down-hole

KSRC0012

  • 2m @ 1.42 g/t Au , 2.5g/t Ag from 16m down-hole; and

  • 2m @ 0.67% Pb, 2.28% Zn , 5.1g/t Ag from 92m down-hole; and

  • 4m @ 0.50% Pb, 1.41% Zn , 2.5g/t Ag from 106m down-hole.

Zones of significantly anomalous lead, zinc, copper, gold and silver analogous with the theorised distal VMS system were noted through all drill-holes and all significant results are reported in Table 2 .

The basement is concealed below transported tertiary cover sequences in this area, making southern extensions to the prospect highly prospective.

It is particularly encouraging that additional base metal and gold intercepts of interest were encountered distal to the main gold-in-soil anomaly targeted by this drill program.

Talisman’s recently completed regional AEM survey included an area across the Kaolin Shaft Gold Prospect and the larger Mineral Hill Trend. The area of this survey in reference to the Kaolin Shaft Gold Prospect location and other nearby Talisman exploration licences is shown in Figure 5 as the pink shaded polygon.

Analysis of data from the AEM survey has enabled interpretation of structures associated with mineralisation at the Kaolin Shaft prospect and led to the interpretation of a secondary, concealed target area at the locus of interpreted structures to the north-east of existing work ( Figure 6 ).

This concealed target area has never been tested by historic drilling and is located on the intersection of structures interpreted to be associated with the Mineral Hill mine and the nearby Wilmatha Cu-Au Porphyry prospect.

Talisman is currently preparing regulatory approvals to enable first-pass exploration drilling of this concealed target area and follow-up of mineralisation intersected as part of the recently completed Kaolin Shaft program.

About Talisman Mining

Talisman Mining Limited (ASX:TLM ) is an Australian mineral development and exploration company. The Company’s aim is to maximise shareholder value through exploration, discovery and development of complementary opportunities in base and precious metals.

Talisman has secured tenements in the Cobar/Mineral Hill region in Central NSW through the grant of its own Exploration Licenses and through a joint venture agreement. The Cobar/Mineral Hill region is a richly mineralised district that hosts several base and precious metal mines including the CSA, Tritton, and Hera/ Nymagee mines. This region contains highly prospective geology that has produced many long-life, high-grade mineral discoveries. Talisman has identified a number of areas within its Lachlan Cu-Au Project tenements that show evidence of base and precious metals endowment which have had very little modern systematic exploration completed to date. Talisman believes there is significant potential for the discovery of substantial base metals and gold mineralisation within this land package and is undertaking active exploration to test a number of these targets.

Talisman also has a majority participating interest in a joint venture with privately-owned Lucknow Gold Limited in relation to the Lucknow Gold Project (EL6455) in New South Wales. The Lucknow Goldfield was discovered in 1851 and was one of the earliest goldfields to be mined commercially in Australia. Historic production records at the Project are incomplete, however in excess of 400,000 ounces of gold has reportedly been produced at grades of 100 to 200 g/t gold[7] .Very little modern exploration has been completed outside of the existing mine workings and Talisman intends to undertake a program of geochemical surface sampling and mapping at the Project ahead of a drilling program to test for potential down plunge extensions of the high-grade gold ore shoots and repeat structures throughout the Project area.

JORC Tables Section 1 & 2

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 (e.g. 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.

Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report. In cases
where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3kg 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 (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

RC samples are collected at two metre intervals via a drill
rig mounted cyclone and static cone splitter set to a 12%
split to produce a nominal 4-7kg sample which was
collected in a pre-numbered sample bag.

Sampling is controlled by Talisman protocols and QAQC
procedures as per industry standard and a chain of custody
maintained through transfer to ALS Laboratories in Orange,
NSW

RC samples were dried, crushed (where required), split
and pulverised (total prep) to produce a master pulp. From
this master pulp, a 0.25g sub sample was taken for multi-
element analysis by four acid digest with an ICP-MS finish.
A 30g sub sample was also taken for fire assay with ICP-
AES finish.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter,
triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails,
face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

RC drilling cited in this report was undertaken by
Resolution Drilling Pty Ltd using a UDR1000 multipurpose
truck-mounted drill rig operating in a Reverse Circulation
configuration. A truck-mounted booster and compressor
provided high pressure air with an auxiliary compressor
used where ground conditions warranted.

RC drilling was completed with a face sampling hammer of
nominal 140mm size.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative nature of
the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

RC drill sample recovery is generally high with sample
recoveries and quality recorded in the database by the
logging geologist

Sample recoveries were monitored in real-time by the
presence of Talisman personnel at the drill site.

No known relationship exists between recovery and
grade and no known bias exists.

19

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative
in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.)
photography.

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.

RC logging records lithology, mineralogy, mineralisation,
alteration, structure, weathering, colour and other primary
features of the rock samples and is considered to be
representative across the intercepted geological units.

RC logging is both qualitative and quantitative depending
on the field being logged.

All RC drill-holes are logged in full to end of hole.
Sub-sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or
dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling
is representative of the in-situ material
collected, including for instance results for
field duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material being sampled.

RC samples were dried, crushed (where required), split
and pulverised (total prep) to produce an 0.25g sub sample
for base metal analysis or a 30g sub sample for gold
analysis by fire assay

QAQC protocols for all RC sampling involved the use of
Certified Reference Material (CRM) as assay standards.

All QAQC controls and measures were routinely reviewed.

Sample size is considered appropriate for geochemical
sampling for base-metal and gold mineralisation given the
nature of drilling and anticipated distribution of
mineralisation.

Field duplicates were collected at a 1 in 30 sample rate.
Quality of
assay data
and laboratory
tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of
the assaying and laboratory procedures used
and whether the technique is considered
partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometres,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parametres used in determining the analysis
including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied
and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted
(e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and
precision have been established.

QAQC protocols for all RC sampling involved the use of
certified reference materials as assay standards, inserted
at a 1 in 50 sampling rate.

Blank samples were inserted at a 1 in 50 sampling rate
using a certified reference material coarse blank.

All assays are required to conform to the procedural QAQC
guidelines as well as routine laboratory QAQC guidelines.

All QAQC controls and measures were routinely reviewed.

Laboratory checks (repeats) occurred at a frequency of 1 in
25.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.

Significant intercepts have been verified by alternate
company personnel.

Logging and sampling data is captured and imported using
Ocris software.

20

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Assay data is uploaded to a secure database directly from
the CSV file provided by the laboratory.

Primary laboratory assay data is always kept and is not
replaced by any adjusted or interpreted data
Location of
data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drill-holes (collar and down- hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and other
locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

Talisman RC drill collar locations are pegged using a hand-
held GPS. Final collar locations were also picked up using
a hand-held GPS with +/- 3m accuracy.

The coordinate system used is the Geocentric Datum of
Australia (GDA) 1994. Coordinates are in the Map Grid
of Australia zone 55 (MGA).
Data spacing
and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of
geological and grade continuity appropriate
for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications
applied.

Whether sample compositing has been
applied.

Drill spacing at the Lachlan Copper-Gold Project varies
depending on requirements

No mineral resource is being reported for the Lachlan
Copper-Gold Project.

No sample compositing has been applied.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and
the extent to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.

Samples were taken according to observations at the time
in the field. No relationship between drilling orientation and
orientation of key mineralized structures was observed.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample
security.

RC samples were stored on site at the Lachlan Copper
Gold Project prior to submission under the supervision of
the Principal Geologist. Samples were transported to ALS
Chemex Laboratories Orange by an accredited courier
service or by company personnel using secure company
vehicles.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.

No external audits or reviews of the sampling techniques
and data have been completed.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status

Type, reference name/number, location and
ownership including agreements or material
issues with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or
national park and environmental settings.

The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments
to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

The Central Lachlan Copper Gold Project currently
comprises 15 granted exploration licences:
oEL8414 held in joint venture by Haverford (87%
participating interest) and Peel Mining Limited (13%
participating interest) (Refer Talisman ASX
announcement 20 October 2020 for full details); and
oEL8547, EL8571, EL8615, EL8677, EL8658,
EL8659, EL8680, EL8719, EL9298, EL9299,
EL9302, EL9306, EL9315 and EL9379 held 100%
by Haverford.

Native Title Claim NC2012/001 has been lodged over
the area of the following tenements by NTSCORP Ltd
on behalf of the Ngemba, Ngiyampaa, Wangaaypuwan
and Wayilwan traditional owners;
oEL8414, EL8571, EL8615, EL8677, EL8658,
EL8659, EL9298, EL9299, EL9302, EL9306,
EL9315 and EL9379.

All tenements are in good standing and there are no
existing known impediments to exploration or mining.
Exploration
done by other
parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration
by other parties.

The Lachlan Copper-Gold Project has been subject to
exploration by numerous previous explorers.

Exploration work on has included diamond, RC and Air
Core drilling, ground and down-hole EM surveys, soil
sampling, geological interpretation and other
geophysics (magnetics, gravity).
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The Lachlan Copper-Gold Project lies within the Central
Lachlan Fold belt in NSW.

The Lachlan Copper-Gold Project is considered
prospective for epithermal style base-metal and
precious metal mineralisation, orogenic mineralisation,
and Cobar style base-metal mineralisation.
Drill-hole
Information

A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill-holes:

easting and northing of the drill-hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level–
elevation above sea level in metres) of the
drill-hole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception depth

Historical drilling intercepts have been appropriately
referenced to source information.

22

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified
on the basis that the information is not
material and this exclusion does not detract
from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain why
this is the case.
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of
high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
material and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high grade results and longer
lengths of low grade results, the procedure
used for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.

Significant intersections reported from the Lachlan
Copper-Gold Project are based on a nominal 0.25g/t
Au, 0.2% Cu, 5g/t Ag, 1% Pb or 1% Zn cutoff, no more
than 5m of internal dilution and a minimum composite
grade of 0.25g/t Au, 0.2% Cu, 5g/t Ag, 1% Pb or 1% Zn.

Cu and Au grades used for calculating significant
intersections are uncut.

All results reported in this document have been derived
from 2m split samples.

Length weighted intercepts are reported for mineralised
intersections.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
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.

If it is not known and only the down hole
lengths are reported, there should be a clear
statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length,
true width not known’).

Drill-holes relating to the Lachlan Copper-Gold Project
are reported as down hole intersections. True widths of
reported mineralisation are not known at this time.
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.

Appropriate maps with scale are included within the
body of the accompanying document.
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 relevant data is reported and provides an appropriate
representation of the results

The accompanying document is considered to represent
a balanced report.

23

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Other
substantive
exploration
data

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;
potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.

All meaningful and material information is reported.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work
(e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.

Planned future work at the Lachlan Copper-Gold Project
includes soil sampling, RC/ diamond drilling and
geophysical surveys.
