TEM | Euro Exploration Update - Drilling Approval

Key Points

  • Approvals granted for upcoming drilling at the Euro Project Calais target

  • Up to 2,000m drilling planned to test multiple anomalies within the Calais area

  • Extensive mineralisation known at the Calais target area includes historic drilling results up to: 15m @ 2.3gpt gold from 15m and 2m @ 11gpt from surface.

  • Ongoing exploration underpinned by strong backing from shareholders in oversubscribed $1.25M Entitlement Offer and Top-up Placement of $500,000

News Item

Tempest Minerals Ltd (TEM) is pleased to update the market on the progress of preparations for the previously announced planned drilling at the Euro Project [1] . The Company has received approvals to undertake drilling at the Calais target area and that planning and preparation for this drilling is in its final stages.

Tempest intends to drill up to 2,000m [2] to follow up on drilling conducted in the late 90s and early 2000’s where extensive mineralisation was intersected in numerous drillholes. These results include intercepts such as 15m @ 2.3g/t gold from 15m. However, ambivalence towards such results during a period of low gold price resulted in the presence of significant mineralisation being inadequately tested.

Tempest, through the compilation of historic data and further field observations are now armed with a more thorough understanding of the structural and stratigraphic controls of this mineralisation which remains open in all directions and has strong analogues to nearby operations.

Corporate

Entitlement Issue

On 26 August, Tempest announced a capital raising [3] to progress the its Western Australian projects consisting of: i) A placement to raise $391,000 at a price of 1.7 cents per share; and ii) A non-renounceable entitlement issue (“Offer”) to eligible shareholders on the basis of one for four shares held at 1.7 cents per share to raise up to a further $1.25 million. The Company is encouraged to have received exceptionally strong support for the raising with the offer being heavily oversubscribed and Tempest also completed a further top-up placement for $500,000 on the same terms as the Offer [4] .

Euro Project

Background

The Euro Project is 176km[2] of 100% owned tenements within the exciting exploration portfolio in the Yalgoo region of Western Australia which totals more than 900km[2] (>604km[2] granted and 311 km[2] of pending) [5] . The Euro Project is an underexplored geological terrain located between multiple in development or producing operations including: Karara (Iron), Shine (Iron), Mt Mulgine (Gold/Tungsten) and Rothsay (Gold/Copper). Parts of the project were explored in the 1990’s and early 2000’s for gold and iron ore, with drilling occurring in the North of the project area encountering significant gold mineralisation but due to depressed metal prices, were not considered priority at the time and not followed up.

Approvals granted

Tempest has received approvals from the Western Australian regulatory bodies to commence drilling at the Calais target area of the Euro Project.

Tempest intends to drill up to 2,000m of diamond drilling in the Company's initial program at this target, however the approval also covers the potential of further drilling going forward.

Figure 02: Overview of the Euro Project planned drilling area (red) with nearby operations & mineral occurrences

Substantial anomalous zones - including high grade tenor mineralisation - was recorded within the Calais target area during reconnaissance shallow drilling in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s by Aztec, Normandy Gindalbie and others. However, despite early holes intersecting appreciable levels of near surface gold, they were not thoroughly tested at the time due to depressed metal prices.

Next Steps

  • Award of drilling contract

  • Preparation for drilling onsite

  • Ongoing fieldwork for delineation of further drilling
