Commenting on the results Trek CEO Derek Marshall said:
“The laboratory results have confirmed the positive indications from our maiden drill program at Pincunah that we announced in late July. The key takeaway for investors is that we now have enough evidence to be very confident that the Valley of the Gossans Project is likely to be large-scale VMS copper-zinc base metal system with an extensive footprint that extends over 2km.
“The assays show that we intersected multiple horizons of classic VMS-style mineralisation and alteration, with highly anomalous zinc, copper and silver, plus multiple pathfinder elements that suggest we are right in the middle of a very fertile volcanic environment.
“The geological similarities to the Sulphur Springs Project, located 25km to the east, which is currently being developed by DEVELOP Global, are striking and show that we are in the right sort of environment to make a significant VMS-style base metal discovery. The typical ‘clustering effect’ which is commonly associated with VMS fields further supports this potential.
“VMS deposits often have a relatively small footprint, so the next step is to focus in within the broad anomalous zone on potential accumulations of massive sulphide mineralisation. We will do this by undertaking down-hole and airborne EM surveys to help us target VMS mineralisation at depth and along strike. This work will commence in the coming weeks and should provide us with targets to be tested with follow-up drilling.
“We currently have a team on the ground collecting soil samples along strike in order to define any extensions to the known alteration corridor. The helicopter EM survey is due to commence later this month and we are actively pursuing a drill rig to commence follow-up drilling as soon as possible.”
Trek Metals Limited (ASX: TKM ) (“ Trek ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to advise that its maiden drilling program at the 100%-owned Pincunah Project in the Pilbara region of WA (Figure 4) has delivered highly encouraging results, highlighting the potential for a large-scale VMS base metal system at the Valley of the Gossans (VOG) prospect.
The nature, grade and depth of the copper and zinc mineralization near the Chert marker horizon at Valley of the Gossans provide evidence of a mineralising process for a VMS-style copper-zinc system analogous to the Sulphur Springs deposits, 25km to the east.
Laboratory assay results confirm element associations identified previously in soils. Importantly multiple mineralised horizons were intersected with significant intersections included as Table 1.
The drilling program covered an extensive multi-element soil anomaly at VOG extending over a strike length of more than 2km, with a total of 13 holes for 2,662m of RC drilling completed. The drill rig, supplied by Orlando Drilling, then moved north-west to the Carlindi Prospect where a further 8 holes were drilled for 1,054m, for a total of 3,716m (Table 2 & Figure 5).
Given the encouraging results Trek has committed to multiple exploration activities related to exploring the emerging base metal discovery at Valley of the Gossans (Figure 2 & 3).

Given the success of Trek’s previous soil sampling program in defining the significant multi-element anomaly that has proven to be related to a large VMS system, the Company has elected to extend the soils coverage along strike to define the system extent (Figure 2).
A helicopter-borne EM program has been scheduled to commence in late October at Valley of the Gossans (Figure 2) and the greater Pincunah Project area (Figure 3) to define significant conductive bodies related to massive sulphide mineralisation as immediate drill targets.
Several down-hole EM contractors have been contacted with the intention of surveying two of the holes from the maiden drill program which were cased for DHTEM, to assist with targeting massive sulphide mineralisation.
The Company is in discussion with multiple drill contractors currently operating in the local area to secure a drilling rig that will allow it to commence follow-up drilling as soon as possible (Figure 3).

About the Pincunah Project
The Pincunah Project (E45/4909 & E45/4917) is located 100km south of Port Hedland and just 25km west of the Sulphur Springs owned by DEVELOP Global (ASX: DVP).
A soil program completed over the “Valley of the Gossans” (VOG) Prospect defined evidence of an extensive hydrothermal alteration over an area of 2.2km by 0.9km. Trek’s maiden drill program confirmed that the soil anomalism was caused by a large-scale volcanogenic massive sulphide system, similar to that at Sulphur Springs.
The Company is actively progressing exploration both at the Valley of the Gossans prospect and the greater Pincunah Project.

• 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 |
• Primary significant intercepts reported were calculated based on an element of interest, a minimum width and maximum internal dilution criteria as per below: oAg > 1g/t (with a final intercept >4g/t) oZn > 0.5% oCu > 0.25% oAu > 0.5g/t |

| 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. |
oMinimum width of 5m for primary intercept oMaximum of 2m internal dilution • Any intercepts that combine 1m split and 4m composite samples have appropriate weighted averages applied • No data truncations were performed • No metal equivalents values have been reported |

| 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 (eg ‘down hole length, _true width not known’). _ |
• The program has been designed to test the potential for the PIncunah area to host a VMS & orogenic gold style deposits • Drilling was designed to drill perpendicular to the target trend • The true width of mineralization is not currently known due to the early- stage nature of the exploration |
| 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. |
• See relevant maps in the body of this announcement |
| 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 available data has been presented, with a full list of holes and associated plan provided in the body of the release |
| 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. |
• Exploration data for the project continues to be reviewed and assessed and new information will be reported if material |
| 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. |
• Further work is detailed in the body of the announcement |
