CEO Thomas Line Commented: “We are seeing the hallmarks of a large zoned polymetallic system at Morgan’s Creek. We are seeing anomalism across a range of commodities, including REE’s, Critical Metals and Base Metals, which are showing zonation around the large maficultramafic intrusions and the intrusive breccias which host them. The identification of the Hydrothermal Hill and New Burra prospects, which host significant polymetallic anomalism, has added two new high-priority drill targets at Morgan’s Creek. We are looking forward to drill testing the new targets highlighted by these results, aimed at driving new discoveries within the Morgan’s Creek project area. In addition to testing new targets, we will also be drilling to expanding the existing REE, Cu, Li, V and Zn mineralisation intercepted on the recent RC drilling program.”

Taruga Minerals Limited (ASX: TAR , Taruga or the Company ) is pleased to present an exploration update for Morgan’s Creek, at the Mt Craig Copper Project (MCCP), where an extensive reconnaissance exploration program has highlighted large-scale polymetallic mineral system potential.

New Burra Prospect

==> picture [207 x 287] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1 . The geological setting of the Burra Monster Mine (75kt Cu), showing the contact of the diapiric breccia on the basal unit of the Skillogalee Dolomite – in the same setting as Morgan’s Creek. Source: GSSA Publication Preiss, W, V; Drexel, J, F; & Reid, A,J 2009.

REE, Zn and lithium soils anomalism ( Figures 2-5 ) has concentrated around the contact of the basal unit of the Skillogalee Dolomite and the western margin of the diapiric breccia ( Figures 2- 5 ), in the same setting as the nearby Burra Monster Mine, where 75kt of Cu metal was produced since 1845 ( Figure 1 ). At the Burra Monster Mine, the Burra Diapir contacts on the basal units of the Skillogalee Dolomite, where high-grade copper was mined between 1840’s and 1980’s. The Burra Monster Mine was the world’s largest operating copper mine in its early days, and bolstered the South Australian economy in a time of great need. The supergene copper at Burra was very high grade, with 700,000 tonnes of ore mined at 7% before bulk mining continued at grades between 1.5% - 3% Cu. The Skillogalee Dolomite contains highly reactive rocks, which attract metal deposition as hydrothermal and other metal bearing fluids pass through the reactive rocks. The ore mined at the Burra Monster Mine was never tested for REE’s and precious metals, and so the potential for a more diverse polymetallic suite was never recognised. However, the soils and rock-chip anomalism (REE, Zn, Co, Cu, Li, Au) along the same setting at Morgan’s Creek has highlighted this potential. This highly prospective contact, which extends south and north from the Hydrothermal Hill, will be tested in the upcoming RC drilling program.

Hydrothermal Hill Prospect

Recent diamond drilling at Hydrothermal Hill ( HH ) intercepted chalcopyrite mineralisation and contact skarn alteration within and surrounding mafic-ultramafic intrusions (assays pending). The recent rock chips and mapping support strong hydrothermal alteration and mineralisation evident from surface ( Figure 2 ). New high resolution ground magnetics data highlights a large magnetic anomaly around the intercepted mafic-ultramafic intrusion, which is coincident with the recent rock chips which reported highly anomalous REE, Cu, Co, and Li.

Significant Biotite-magnetite-serpentine-chlorite alteration along with blebby and dissemination chalcopyrite mineralisation was identified from the recent diamond drilling at Hydrothermal Hill. The prospect will be drill tested in the upcoming program.

Zoned Polymetallic System

A common feature, which is being highlighted by the soils and the recent drilling results, is the polymetallic geochemical zonation around the margins of the mafic-ultramfic intrusions and along the margins of the diapiric breccias. High copper anomalies are often seen over the mafic-ultramafic intrusions and within the diapiric breccias, with zoned REE, Lithium and Zinc anomalism around the edges of the intrusions, presumably where metal-bearing hydrothermal fluids have reacted with country rock and deposited metals during a series of overprinting mineralisation events. Contact skarn alteration has been identified around the intrusions, which host REE, Cu, Li, Zn, Co, V mineralisation. These zones are often large (>1.5km[2] ), and are associated with significant magnetic and gravity anomalies which likely represent intrusions and alteration zones.

Targeting Strategy

Morgan’s Creek is prospective for a range of mineralisation styles, which include base-metal and critical mineral polymetallic suites. Evidence for these styles is either present at surface, or has been intercepted in recent Targua Drilling. Styles include:

ASX:TAR

3

  • Burra Monster Mine style Cu

  • Beltana- style Zn

  • Alkaline igneous REE’s

  • Ionic clay style REE’s

  • Zambian style sediment hosted Cu

  • Mt Gunson Style sediment-hosted Cu

  • Kipushi style polymetallic (Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au)

  • Layered mafic-ultramafic Cu-Ni-PGE-V-Co

  • Intrusion related mineral system (IRMS) and contact skarn polymetallic

Both base metal (Cu, Zn, Ni) and critical mineral zones (REE, Li, Co, Sc, V) will be targeted throughout the broad system at Morgan’s Creek. Gravity and Magnetics will be used to identify intrusions, alteration zones and structures which may be influencing metal deposition. Areas of multielement geochemical anomalism (rock chips and soils) will be prioritised, particularly where local geology, surface mapping and geophysical data supports prospective mineral deposit features ( Table 1 ).

Mineralisation and rocks are exposed from surface at MCCP, allowing a full spectrum of exploration techniques to be used in order to asses and prioritise targets. The MCCP has the ideal source rocks and trap sites for metal deposition, which is a result of a combination of geological factors, summarised below:

Prospective Geological Features and Deposit Associations at MCCP:

  • A major structure (the Worrumba Anticline) extending the full length of the project. This has acted as a major fluid pathway for metalliferous fluids, and a conduit for intrusive igneous rocks and intrusive diapiric breccias to reach the surface and react with younger host rocks, depositing metals.

  • Over 60 recorded copper occurrences, and over 30 historical artisanal and small-scale copper mines at surface.

  • A large diapiric intrusive breccia system spanning the full 34km strike of the project, which has intruded along the Worrumba Anticline.

  • Nearby significant deposits associated with diapiric breccias include:

    • Burra Monster Mine ( 75kt Cu metal );

    • Beltana high-grade zinc deposit ( 1Mt @ 29% Zn );

    • Blinman Cu deposit (10kt Cu metal produced).

  • Global significant deposits associated with Diapiric breccias include:

    • Kipushi Polymetallic deposit – Congo ( 40Mt @ 10% Cu, 18% Zn, 1% Pb and 160g/t Ag )

    • Tunisia Zn-Pb deposit ( 5Mt Zn+Pb metal produced) Northern Africa

    • Reocin Zn-Pb-Ag ( 87Mt @ 11% Zn, 1% Pb ) Northern Spain

  • Common presence of Neoproterozoic Callana Group mafic volcanics, which are known to be a source rock and host rock for significant Cu mineralisation within diapiric breccias throughout the Adelaide Fold Belt.

  • Basal unit of the highly reactive Skillogalee Dolomite is present throughout the MCCP, and in places contacts on the margin of the diapiric breccia, forming the same setting as the nearby Burra Monster Mine ( 75k Cu metal produced).

  • 58km of outcropping reduced black shales of the Tindelpina Shale Member (basal unit of the Tapley Hill Formation) along a rift margin environment, extending from the Wyacca Prospect, where high grade copper has been intercepted by recent drilling. This setting is an analogous to the Central African Copper Belt deposits, and Kuperschiefer Cu ore-host lithology, along with the nearby Mt Gunson and Windabout Cu-Co-Ag deposits.

  • Nearby relevant sed-Cu deposits hosted within Tapley Hill Formation include: ▪ Mt Gunson (75 kt Cu metal produced +Co + Ag) ▪ Windabout (250kt Cu metal equivalent: Cu + Co + Ag)

  • Globally relevant sediment-hosted Cu deposits include:

    • Kamoa ( 760 Mt @ 2.73% Cu ~ 20Mt contained Cu metal) Congo

ASX:TAR

14

     - Kuperschiefer deposits ( **32 Mt Cu metal** and **3.1 Billion Oz Ag** metal collectively)
  • Differentiated/layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions identified at Morgan’s Creek. The geological setting at Morgan’s Creek is that of a Continental Rift setting. Significant deposits associated with layered mafic-ultramafic intrusions in Continental Rift settings include:

    • Ni-Cu-PGE + Cr/V (Scandinavia)

      • Pechenga ( 339Mt @ 1.18% Ni, 0.63% Cu, 0.3g/t PGE )

      • Penikat ( 15Mt @ 7.8 g/t Pt+Pd )

    • Ni-Cu-Co (Canada)

      • Voisey’s Bay ( 124.4 Mt @ 1.66% Ni, 1.19% Cu and 0.13% Co )
    • Vanadium (Australia)

      • Speewah ( 4,712 Mt @ 0.3% V2O5 )

      • Gabanintha ( 131 Mt @ 0.9% V2O5 )

      • Windimurra ( 235 Mt @ 0.49% V2O5 )

    • Other layered ultramafic related Ni-Cu-Au-PGE (Australia)

      • Julimar (Resource pending – N-Cu-Au-PGE; Discovery hole 19m @ 2.6% Ni, 1.0% Cu, 8.4 g/t Pd and 1.1 g/t Pt )
  • Massive magnetite bodies with associated Cu-Ag-Au mineralisation are present across the MCCP, with the most notable exposure from surface being the Iron King prospect.

  • Major Sub-Projects at the MCCP:

  • Wyacca (sediment-hosted Cu)

  • Morgan’s Creek (Burra style Cu; Kipushi Style Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag; Central-African style sediment-hosted Cu; Layered mafic-ultramafic Cu-Ni-PGE-V-Co; Alkaline Igneous REE’s; Ionic-clay REE’s; Contact Skarn Cu-Zn-Co-Ag-REE)

  • Birthday Ridge (sediment-hosted Cu; intrusion-related Cu-Au)

  • Iron King 500m body of outcropping massive magnetite with associated copper and gold workings around its margins (Cu-Au-Ag-Fe)

  • Hawk (Sediment-hosted Au-Cu)

  • Greens + Schute (sediment-hosted Cu; Alkaline Igneous REE, Ionic clay REE’s)

The MCCP is situated within the Adelaide Fold Belt ( AFB ), and lies at the intersection of the G2 and G8 structural corridors (lineaments). The G2 and G8 lineaments mapped by O’Driscoll led to the discovery of Olympic Dam, and reflect the deep lithospheric structure of Australia, hosting the majority of South Australia’s major base metal deposits. The AFB has hosted over 800 historical copper mines or workings, and multiple polymetallic mines since the 1840’s. Copper-gold associations are common within the AFB, with many of the old copper mining ventures not recognising the presence of gold and other metals which were not assayed for. Modern exploration has continued to uncover significant large-scale, polymetallic, base and precious metal potential around historical mining regions within the AFB, which have undergone limited exploration and development since initial mining ceased in the late 1800’s.

Exploration Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Historical Exploration: Mt Craig
done by other
parties
Extensive small-scale historic mining for base
metals occurred throughout the area. From the
1960’s onwards numerous companies have
explored the region with soil, stream, rock chip &
channel sampling, geophysics and drilling
campaigns.
Details regarding historical exploration activities has
been released previously.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. The Morgan Creek prospect is dominated by the
Worumba diapir which include large rafted blocks of
sediments including those of the Tapley Hill Fm,
also within the diapir are mafics of variable origin.
The western margin includes a target contact
between the dolomite metasediments and the
Worumba Diapir. Dolomite is a common reactive
rock type within the diapir related deposits, trapping
mineralisation close to the diapir margins. Dissolved
metalliferous brines from the diapir travel along
structural conduits to sites of suitable reactive
deposition.
