TEM | Exploration Update - Encouraging results from Messenger Drilling
Key Points
-
Drilling at Messenger completed with 23 holes for 2100m of drilling completed at the Dally and Wally targets
-
Thick quartz mineralisation and alteration intersected along strike length of more than 2km
-
Mineralisation extended below historic high grade mining areas
-
Tempest continue to deliver results on the heels of discovery at the Warriedar Project in Q4 2020
News Item
Tempest Minerals Ltd (TEM) is pleased to provide the market an update on exploration at the Company’s exploration activities in the Yalgoo Region which is currently undergoing an exploration renaissance [1, 2, 3] .
Tempest is currently progressing the Messenger Project with approximately 2100m of drilling completed in an area which is known historically to bear high grade gold. Drilling at the Messenger Project has confirmed the presence of thick quartz veining and alteration in most drillholes. The quartz veining is believed to be similar to the mineralisation historically mined at very high grades at the surface.
This current drilling program is in addition to drilling in December 2020 which yielded a gold discovery at the Warriedar West Project.

Messenger Project
Background
The Messenger Project is part of the Company’s extensive landholding within the Yalgoo mineral field located 450 km North of Perth, Western Australia. The project is 8km North of the prolific Golden Grove Copper/Zinc/Gold Mine and encompasses part of the ‘Messengers Patch’ [4] which is a well known historic historic mining center hosting numerous high-grade mines (up to 10 ounces gold per ton ) and a state battery (government built gold processing facility) in the early 1900s [5][,][6] .
Drilling

Tempest previously announced the commencement of drilling at the Messenger Project [7] focussed on the Dally (gold) and Wally (base metal) targets. Approximately 2108m have been completed with most drillholes having intersected thick quartz veining, magnetite and alteration of the intermediate volcanics and intrusive host units. Several drillholes also intercepted sulphide and oxide after sulphide mineralisation associated with the quartz reef mineralisation.

Table A: Selected geological intercepts from recent drilling at Messenger
Several drillholes were drilled below known mineralisation at the “Messengers Patch” mining centre. Quartz veining prevalent throughout the drilling is believed to be analogous to the mineralisation historically mined at very high grades from the surface to several 10’s of metres in the early 1900’s.

Figure 3: Cross section through drilling at the Messengers Patch historic mining centre
Quartz +/- sulphide mineralisation mimics the strong magnetic signature present at the project. This strong magnetic signature was used as a possible target horizon during the design phase and now is confirmed to be an excellent proxy for mineralisation.
The source of the magnetism was observed to be magnetite rich dykes or veins which appear to be related to mineralisation and/or exploiting the same large kilometer scale structures. Drillholes 58 and 59 were drilled into a less prominent magnetic anomaly to the west of the main known structure and intersected a new parallel quartz lode with thicknesses of up to 16m.

War West Project
Background
The Warriedar Project is a large-scale exploration project targeting Intrusive Related Gold (IRG) and orogenic gold mineralisation. Interest in exploration for IRG systems in Western Australia is increasing stemming from high profile discoveries with similar styles of mineralisation such as the world class Hemi discovery by De Grey Mining (ASX:DEG) [7] and the 10Moz Au Northern Star Resources’ Pogo Mine in Alaska [8] .
The War West project is part of a 15 x 3km large scale alteration system characterised by geochemistry typical of this kind of system [9] . Zones of high
==> picture [114 x 171] intentionally omitted <==
grade quartz vein swarms are present within the larger envelope and have been exploited by artisanal miners and prospectors in recent times.
Drilling
Tempest completed a maiden reconnaissance drilling program (20 holes for 622m) at the project in Q4 2020 10 . This drilling was focussed on several target areas of shallow, outcropping zones of highly altered silica rich intrusive with mapped quartz veining. The initial drilling program confirmed the widespread presence of gold within the silica rich lithocap in line with previously reported anomalous geochemistry [11] . The widespread shallow gold was accompanied by zones of quartz vein swarms with grades of up to 5g/t intersected [12] . The discovery of gold at Warriedar West is within kilometres of underutilised gold mills and processing facilities with established haulage routes in place.
In addition to yielding the discovery of entirely new sources of gold in the mineral field, major new extensions to the Yalgoo greenstone belt have been identified under shallow cover throughout the Wee Lode area [12] .

Appendix C: JORC Table 1 (Messenger)
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
● Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specifc 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 (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fre 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. |
● 16 holes drilled (to date) referred to herein ● Reverse Circululation (RC) Drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples ● Limited composites of up to 5m were taken where thick areas of known low prospectivity geology were encountered ● Drilled material collected using rotary cyclone splitter o 1-3kg of material delivered directly to calico bags o bulk sample collected in green plastic sample bags ● 1-3 kg calico bag contents pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for multi element ICP MS and fre assay |
| Drilling techniques |
● Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg 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). |
● Holes were drilled by Orlando Drilling utilising a Hydco reverse circulation truck-mounted drill rig with auxiliary air and support trucks |
| 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 fne/coarse material. |
● Sample recoveries were generally in excess of 90%. ● No sample recovery bias has been noted. |

| 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. |
● All drill chips were geologically logged by Galt Mining Solution Geologists. ● Drill chips were collected, wet and dry, for each hole and placed in trays prior to being photographed. ● Each drill hole was qualitatively logged in its entirety for geology. |

Appendix E: JORC Table 1 (War West)
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
● Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specifc 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 (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fre 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. |
● 21 Reverse Circulation (RC) / Air Core (AC) holes were drilled for a total of 645m. ● Drilled material were collected in 1 m intervals with approximately 1kg recovered and placed in labelled bags. The bagged sample was speared and scooped in at least 3 different directions to gain a representative sample for laboratory analysis. ● Samples were submitted to Intertek Perth: ● All samples submitted for assay underwent fne crush and pulverisation to 75 microns (PU02). Assays were carried out on a split 50 to 100 g fraction. Remaining pulps are preserved. ● All samples have been submitted for analysis for 48 elements using a Four Acid digest followed by a 50g fre assay for Gold using ICP-MS. |
| Drilling techniques |
● Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg 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). |
● Holes were drilled by Gold Tip Drilling, utilising a Gemco H-13 reverse circulation truck-mounted drill rig. ● Holes were collared into hard caprock by using a reverse circulation face sampling hammer. Soft clay was drilled by switching to the air core technique, which uses a blade to produce broken core and large chips. |

| 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 fne/coarse material. |
● Sample recoveries were generally in excess of 80%. Recovery dropped in the shallow portion of holes and in zones of strong water infow. ● In zones where recovery was compromised holes were terminated. ● No sample recoverybias has been noted. |

| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
● If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. ● If non-core, whether rifed, 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 feld duplicate/second-half sampling. ● Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
● Samples consist of AC and RC drill chips. ● Drill chip samples were taken at one metre intervals with a spear. ● Sample collection methodology and sample size is considered appropriate to the target-style and drill method, and appropriate laboratory analytical methods were employed. ● Standard reference samples were inserted into the laboratory submissions at a rate of 1 per 50 samples. Duplicates were taken at a rate of 1per 20 samples. |

| Diagrams | ● Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any signifcant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
● Refer fgures in ASX release above. |
|---|---|---|
| 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 results are presented. |
| 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. |
● Drill holes were located and oriented based on feld observations and mapping. ● Other data sets such as magnetic survey data and geochemical sampling are also available for the drilling area and used in geological interpretations. |
| 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 commercially sensitive. |
● The intention is to continue to test for the source of the km scale elevated gold-in-soil and pathfnder assays through feld and desktop studies. ● This will include analysing existing multi-element assay data, feld mapping and assessments of potential feld/remote sensing data to refne and design exploration drill targets. |
