AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT

3 JUNE 2020

Pernatty IOCG* Project – Drilling Programme

Drilling of up to 8 targets arranged for August 2020 Possible New Priority Targets Identified

(* IOCG – Iron/Oxide-Copper-Gold)

Drilling at Tasman’s 100% owned Pernatty IOCG project, located on the Gawler Craton approx. 20km south east of the Carrapateena deposit in South Australia (refer Figure 1), is scheduled to commence in August 2020. Up to eight targets identified from geophysical surveys are proposed to be drilled.

Figure 1: Pernatty Project Location Plan (grid GDA 94, Z53).

EM surveying over priority gravity and magnetic targets (refer TAS:ASX announcement 7 January 2019) identified within the Pernatty IOCG project, was completed, including follow up surveys, in December last year. A total of 54.7 line km were surveyed over the two target areas (refer Figure 2 and TAS:ASX announcement 20 January 2020). The aim of the survey was to locate anomalous areas of electrical conductivity in the basement that could be due to sulphide mineralisation, as well as give information about depth to basement.

New EM Data Analysis and Modelling

Previous geophysical modelling of the EM data in the northern area (refer Figure 2) in conjunction with the available gravity and magnetic data has recently been reviewed by Tasman’s consultant geophysicist after analysis of what was previously thought to be spurious EM data along one of the surveyed lines.

An anomalous segment of EM survey line 6524000N (refer Figure 2) between 751100E and 751600E was resurveyed by the contractor in December, 2019, only to find, that the anomalous effects were no longer obvious and normal polarization-free readings were observed. The geophysical report was written assuming that the second data set was correct and the earlier one was spurious; however, a question remained regarding the veracity of the data. Logically, one or the other, or both surveys seemingly had to be wrong and after a thorough analysis Tasman’s consultant geophysicist believes that both may have been correct but subject to different conditions.

The geophysicist now believes that the anomalous readings on the first survey were most likely due to polarisation effects due to a higher current in a two turn transmitter loop which was not detected by the second survey which may have used only a one turn loop and hence a lower transmitter current (AMIRA TEM format does not include provision for recording the number of turns in a transmitter loop).

As a result the questionable segment of line is to be re-surveyed, within the next few weeks, with one reading being taken with a single turn loop and a second reading to be taken when feeding the same current into a twoturn loop.

Modelling of the EM results from the first survey on Line 6524000N (Figures 3&4) has recently been completed and three additional high priority drilling targets have been delineated, assuming of course that the data from the anomalous segment of the first EM survey is reliable.

Figure 4: Line 6524000N, best model fit of EM data shown in Figure 3, showing modelled conductive plates .

Tasman’s geophysicist has concluded that the modelled flat lying polarizable Plate_01 (refer Figure 4) may represent sulphides in relatively shallow porous rocks of the Adelaidean cover sequence such as the Whyalla Sandstone if present, and possibly of similar style to the copper sulphides at Mt Gunson, 40km to the west. The deeper rocks represented by Plate_02 and Plate_04 may represent a deeper source for any base metal sulphide accumulations here.

Modelled Plates_02 and Plate_04 coincide laterally as well as depth-wise, with dense and magnetic bodies recognised in the density-magnetic susceptibility model for the area and are priority targets for IOCG copper sulphide mineralisation (refer Figure 4 and gravity and magnetic profiles in Figure 3).

Drilling Program

Subject to a successful capital raising Tasman is proposing to drill some or all of the eight EM ± gravity-magnetic targets (refer Figure 2) in the September quarter. Should the earlier EM data from Line 6524000N prove to be reliable Tasman would view the targets on this line as of the highest priority.

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 (eg “reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30g 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.

No drilling or sampling is reported. A
moving loop ground EM survey was
carried out. An EMIT SMARTem 24
receiver was used to take all of the EM
data. Data were sensed using a 3-

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.

Exploration Licence No 6137 is located
approximately 80km ESE of Woomera in
South Australia and is owned 100% by
Tasman Resources Ltd.
There are no joint ventures, partnerships or
royalties involved. The EL is covered by the
Kokatha Native Title Claim Settlement ILUA
S12014/011 and agreements between the
claimants and Tasman designed to protect
Aboriginal heritage sites. There are no
historical or wilderness sites or national
parks or known environmental settings.

Tasman has secure tenure over the EL at
the time of reporting and there are no known
impediments to obtaining a licence to
operate in the area.
Exploration done
by other parties.

Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

Very little previous exploration has been
carried out within the tenement area. This
work appears to have been confined to
government gravity and magnetic surveys
and some limited infill gravity surveying by a
previous explorer.
Geology.
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The type of deposit sought is an iron-oxide,
copper gold type system (IOCG), similar to
the Carrapateena deposit, about 20km to the
NW. Carrapateena occurs within basement
rocks beneath approximately 400m of
younger, flat-lying sedimentary cover rocks.
No drilling has been completed within
Tasman’s EL6137 and hence subsurface
geology and depth to older basement in the
tenement are uncertain at this stage.

Data 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.

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.

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 (eg. ‘downhole length,
true width not known’).

reported if such diagrams significantly
clarify the report.

Appropriate geophysical maps are included
in the report.
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.

of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.

Geophysical results are reported in the
report.
No other substantive exploration data is
reported.
Further work.

The nature and scale of planned further
work (eg. 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
