MANNAR PROJECT DRILLING COMPLETED ENCOUNTERING SIGNIFICANT HEAVY MINERAL CONCENTRATIONS PRIORITY AREAS FOR RESOURCE EXPANSION DRILLING IDENTIFIED
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Drilling by the project vendor has encountered significant heavy mineral concentrations up to 3 kilometres inland from the previously reported resource envelope.
-
High grade heavy mineral occurrences have been noted up to 400m landward of the previously reported JORC inferred resource envelope on the adjacent mainland.
-
Preparation of samples from the 2016 drilling have now been completed and will be consigned to a specialist mineral sands laboratory.
-
The Company anticipates being able to lodge a notice of meeting seeking shareholder approval for the acquisition of the Sri Lankan heavy minerals sands projects this month.
The Board of Titanium Sands Limited (ASX:TSL) (“TSL”) is pleased to report that it has received an update from the Mannar Island mineral sands project vendor that concentrations of heavy minerals have been identified at surface in locations up to 450m landward of the previously reported JORC resource envelope at the Mannar Island Project in Sri Lanka (Figure 1).
Figure 2 shows high concentrations of heavy mineral sands at a location (HG1 in Figure 1) 250m inland of the previously reported JORC resource envelope.* In another location on the mainland shoreline north east of Mannar Island (HG2 in Figure 1) heavy mineral accumulations have been observed from the coast up to 450m inland.
A panned concentrate sample from 400m inland is shown in Figure 3.

As a result priority drilling zones have been defined to expand the resource envelope further landward by 400 to 500m at three locations with the total area of proposed drilling exceeding 10km[2] (Figure 1). Following completion of the acquisition of Srinel Holdings Ltd (“Srinel”) it is anticipated that TSL will commence this drilling in the June quarter of this year.
Srinel has advised that during 2016 a total of 608 drill holes (of 1,000 in total) were drilled on the tenure that is to be acquired by TSL. Visual logging of the drilling has identified areas of heavy mineral concentration up to 3 Km inland from the previously reported JORC inferred resource envelope along the north east shoreline of Mannar Island (Figure 1). This area is contained within the expanded project area (as announced 29[th] January 2016).
Samples from these 608 holes are those to be sent for laboratory analysis. Accordingly an amended collar and total depth list of drill holes is appended here and replaces any previous tabulation of the 2016 drilling (Table 1).

*An initial JORC inferred mineral resource of 10.3 Mt with total heavy mineral (THM) of 11.7% compiled by independent consultants was reported in full to the Australian Securities Exchange on the 22 April 2015. This resource was based on a historical drill hole data base of 785 auger drill holes and from the 115 holes drilled in early 2015. The drilling and the defined resource envelope was largely confined to within 150m of the Mannar Island shoreline. The Company confirms that this resource statement remains current in regards to the areas covered by the drilling used in the resource model.
Except where indicated, exploration results above have been compiled by James Searle BSc (hons), PhD, a Member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, with over 34 years of experience in metallic and energy minerals exploration and development, and as such has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Dr Searle is the Managing Director of Titanium Sands Limited and consents to the inclusion of this technical information in the format and context in which it appears.

Appendix 1 JORC TABLE 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
All drilling, sampling and sample splitting procedures were designed and audited by Dr James Searle, the Competent Person named in the body of this report.
| Criteria | **Explanation ** | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific 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 (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g 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 (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailedinformation. |
• 100% of recovered sample collected, riffle split, and bagged at drill site. • Sample interval down hole every 0.5m or part interval. • No sampling below water table. |
| Drilling techniques |
• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. 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.). |
• Hand auger , vertical, Dormer type shell auger 75mm, 608 holes, maximum depth 6m • All holes vertical. |
| Criteria | **Explanation ** | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| 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/gainof fine/coarsematerial. |
• Weight of sample recovered logged against estimate of 100% recovery weight. • For the hand auger holes, re- entry depth of auger tip noted against depth achieved before auger withdrawn to recover sample. Hole abandoned if more 3cm of fall back in hole 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. |
• Recovered samples logged in standardized format for all relevant visual parameters including sediment, rounding, sorting etc. • Logging of visual parameters qualitative but referenced to standard parameter sheets. • All drill hole samples logged at drill site. |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, 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 field duplicate/second-half sampling. • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the _material being sampled. _ |
• Samples split at drilling site using a riffle splitter, one pass split. • 12 chute riffle splitter. Sample loaded evenly into splitter on top of removable baffle to ensure optimal split across the splitter. • Custody chain of samples maintained from drill site to controlled storage. |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. • Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory |
• Sample not yet consigned to laboratory. |
| Criteria | **Explanation ** | Commentary |

| checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been _established. _ |
||
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
• The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. • The use of twinned holes. • Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. • Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
• Prior to the completion of the program the following verification procedures will be undertaken. 1. Independently supervised repeat drilling will twin between 5 and 10% of holes showing significant heavy mineral mineralisation. 2. One in 20 duplicate samples from splitting and sample preparation will be will be submitted for separate analysis. |
| Location of data points |
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. • Specification of the grid system used. • Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
• Drill collars located using GPS WGD84 to an accuracy typically of better than 6m • Topographic control to be determined from subsequent survey and DTM tie in. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. • Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. • Whether sample compositing has _been applied. _ |
• Drilling spacing varying from 50m to 100m along lines at 800m nominal separations along the mineralisation trend. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
• Shoreline concentrated heavy minerals when preserved by net coastal progradation seaward form strands of mineralisation that can vary from 10s to hundreds of metres wide but many hundreds or metres and kilometres long. Drill lines are therefore optimally oriented across the trend direction of the paleo shoreline positions. Drill hole spacing along the lines were designed to find HM strands as narrow as 25 to 50m wide. Separation of the drill lines along the paleo shoreline orientations reflects the much greater along shore dimensions of any potentially economic strands. |
| Criteria | **Explanation ** | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sample security |
• The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
• Custody of samples documented, and integrity of packagingmonitored. |
| Audits or reviews |
• The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
• Duplicated sample splits and samples from twinned holes will be used to demonstrate QA/QC |
Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| Criteria | **Explanation ** | |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
• Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material 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 inthe area. _ |
• Granted exploration licenses. • No known overriding interests at this stage. • Normal state royalty regime. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
• Previously reported to the ASX. |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• Holocene to Modern coastal sand deposit hosted heavy mineralsands |
| Drill hole Information |
• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: • easting and northing of the drill hole collar • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar • dip and azimuth of the hole • down hole length and interception depth • hole length. • If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly _explain why this is the case. _ |
• Tabulation of all drill hole information contained within Table 1 of the announcement above, with the exception of RL which will be provided later when a DTM is available. At this time collar elevation is considered not material due to the lack of significant elevation changes over the area. |
| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-offgrades are |
• No laboratory results available at this time_._ |
| Criteria | **Explanation ** | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. _ |
||
| Relationship 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 (e.g. ‘down hole length, true _width not known’). _ |
• Heavy mineral zones in beach sediments are flat or only very shallowly dipping. All drill holes were vertical. |
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and _appropriate sectional views. _ |
• Plans of drill hole locations historical and subject of this announcement are provided. • Sectional representations not considered relevant as the drill depths were rarely more than 2m. |
| 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 holes drilled on the controlled tenure are contained in Table 1. |
| 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. _ |
• Not applicable. |
| Further work | • The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). • Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the maingeological |
