Drill Results and Exploration Update – Wyacca Project

Drilling Highlights (latest assays)

  • Significant copper mineralisation intercepted over 1.2km of strike, including:

  • 5m @ 1.0% Cu from 121m (including 1m @ 2.85% Cu from 121m) in RC Drillhole WCRC049

  • 2m @ 1.0% Cu from 80m in RC Drillhole WCRC034

  • 2m @ 1.2% Cu from 36m (including 1m @ 2.2% Cu from 36m) in RC Drillhole WCRC060

  • 3m @ 0.5% Cu from 127m (including 1m @ 1.3% Cu from 127m) in RC Drillhole WCRC035

  • 1m @ 1.6% Cu from 29m in RC Drillhole WCRC054

  • Drilling successfully extends mineralised strike in the main Wyacca Area over a 2.1km long x 1.1km wide zone

  • Key learnings have been obtained regarding the controls on mineralisation which will assist in the exploration program and drill targeting moving forward:

  • Strong potential for further high-grade copper mineralisation in ideal structural settings and trap zones, with new copper mineralisation identified in multiple units above and below the known copper hosting Tindelpina Shale Member

  • Extensive new zones of visible copper-oxides recently mapped and sampled by Taruga > 3km east along strike from Worrumba-19 (never been drilled)

  • Structural zones are now being targeted diligently across the extended Wyacca Project area, which now expands across a 4.7km long x 1.5km wide alteration zone

  • Visible sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite with Zn-Pb and Cu anomalism intercepted over the eastern VTEM targets:

  • Most drill holes failed to reach modelled targets due to a steep dip change

  • Ongoing plate modelling of VTEM geophysics to separate thick-copper sulphide targets from ‘noise’ created by the pyritic shales of the lower Tapley Hill formation

  • Diamond Rig has been mobilised and is set to commence drilling at Wyacca this week, starting at Worrumba-19, as part of a 500 metre drill program including Morgan’s Creek

Taruga Minerals Ltd ( ASX:TAR , Taruga or the Company ) is pleased to provide an exploration update on the Wyacca Project, South Australia.

CEO Thomas Line Commented: “We are pleased to have significantly extended the mineralised footprint at Wyacca. We are learning a lot about the controls on high-grade copper mineralisation at Wyacca. The recent drill program and ongoing structural mapping has taught us that copper mineralisation is heavily stratigraphically and structurally controlled. We will continue to test these

ideal structural settings, many of which are newly identified, in the ongoing exploration effort at the Wyacca Project. The Wyacca Project area now expands over a 4.7km long by 1.5km wide alteration zone, where multiple layers in the stratigraphy, not just the Tindelpina Shale, are now known to be mineralised.”

Program Summary

Drilling successfully extended mineralisation in the main Wyacca Area: +700m to the east along strike from Worrumba-19, and 200m to the north-west along strike from powder hill.

Multiple holes drilled around the Worrumba-19 high-grade zone intercepted over 1% Cu ( Figures 1 & 4 ). Copper mineralisation was successfully intersected in all holes which reached the Tindelpina Shale. Infill drilling has shown that grades and thicknesses of mineralisation can be variable down dip and along strike, and further drilling will be planned to test the structures believed to be controlling this variability.

Strike extensions north-west from Powder Hill were drill tested. Drilling successfully extended the mineralised strike of Wyacca by 200m, with the identification of a new mineralised zone to the north-west of Powder Hill ( Figures 1 & 6 ). The drilling highlighted that the base of the Tindelpina Shale is not the only control on ore deposition in this area, and is further evidence that other stratigraphic layers have potential to host high-grade copper mineralisation at Wyacca.

New copper intercepts at historic workings around the ‘Worumba 21 South’ prospect confirmed new mineralised layers in the stratigraphy, previously unidentified, and has increased confidence for exploration targeting within the lower Tapley Hill Formation, stratigraphically above the Tindelpina Shale Member ( Figures 1 & 7 ). This provided further evidence that Cu mineralisation is not restricted to the Tindelpina Shale.

To the east of Worumba 19, there is a large area of strike of previously unexplored ground in which the Tindelpina Shale contact lies in contact with the Wilyerpa formation, referred to collectively as the “Eastern VTEM Area”. Large VTEM anomalies and a structural corridor are interpreted from geophysics modelling in this area, which were the target of recent drill testing. Due to a change in the dip angle, or ‘steepening’ of the stratigraphy, many holes did not reach the target horizon, but provided valuable stratigraphic information for future work. A 200m wide breccia-shear zone was intercepted in drillhole WCRC046, which failed to reach the target horizon (drilled to 300m). Holes which did intersect the target horizon intersected anomalous levels of Cu (up to 0.2% over 1 m in WCRC045) and visible sphalerite/galena vein mineralisation with up to 0.2% Zn+Pb. The large VTEM anomalies here will require precision diamond drilling to adequately test. Plate modelling of the VTEM data is currently underway to better separate thick copper-sulphide targets from the ‘noise’ created by the pyritic shales within the Tapley Hill Formation.

Reconnaissance Exploration Update - Newly Identified Mineralised/Altered Zones

Multiple new (untested) mineralised trends have been mapped within the Wyacca structural zone, with significant strike lengths. North of Worrumba 21, multiple siderite-limonite and siderite-quartz veins were identified in stacked stratigraphy, over more than 500m of un-tested strike. Several other small workings were mapped within a zone of dense veining in this area ( Figure 9 ).

At Worrumba 22, 3.1km to the east along strike from Worrumba 19 high-grade copper zone, at least 500m of mineralised strike has been mapped, with visible malachite seen at surface within a gossanous horizon ( Figures 8, 10 & 11 ). There has been no historical drilling at this location, which was also the site of historical mining ( Figures 10 & 11 ).

Further Work

  • Maiden diamond drilling program to better understand mineralisation and structure (this week).

  • Detailed reconnaissance exploration including soils geochemistry across Tindelpina Shale and cross cutting structures (currently underway).

  • Infill gravity survey over the Wyacca project area to better constrain structures and lithology (upcoming).

  • Plate modelling of VTEM data to better separate potential high-grade copper-sulphide mineralisation from the noise created from the pyritic shales of the TSM (almost complete)

  • Further precision RC drilling along strike and downdip, targeting influence zones of interpreted basin controlling structures and secondary structures (upcoming).

  • Precision diamond drilling to better test deeper VTEM plate anomalies and other targets identified from the ongoing reconnaissance work (upcoming).

  • Ground-based IP and EM geophysical surveys on selected holes to better map and model mineralisation and structural/lithological controls (under review).

About the MCP

The MCP is situated within the Adelaide Geosyncline ( AGS ), and lies at the intersection of the G2 and G8 structural corridors (lineaments). The G2 and G8 lineaments mapped by O’Driscoll may reflect the deep lithospheric structure of Australia. The AGS has hosted over 800 historical copper mines or workings, and multiple polymetallic mines since the 1840’s. Copper-gold associations are common within the AGS, with many of the old copper mining ventures not recognising the presence of gold. Modern exploration has continued to uncover significant large-scale, polymetallic, base and precious metal potential around historical mining regions within the AGS, which have undergone limited exploration and development since initial mining ceased in the late 1800’s.

The Adelaide Geosyncline (AGS) is comparable in age and geodynamic setting to the Katangan Orogen which hosts the Central African Copperbelt. The AGS is known to host mineralisation which is consistent with the Copperbelt model. The Beltana deposit is a very high-grade discordant zinc deposit which shows similarities to the world class Kipushi (Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag) deposit in DRC. The MCCP is in a comparable setting proximal to the Worrumba Diapir and Taruga consider it is prospective for Kipushi Type mineralisation. The diapir is interpreted as a major conduit for mineralising fluids. The Tindelpina Shale represents a reduced facies host rock with potential to host Zambian style mineralisation.
