EXPLORATION AND CORPORATE UPDATE

  • Focussed Pilbara Zinc & Gold explorer debuts on ASX.

  • Drilling targeting extensions to known zinc mineralisation to commence at Quartz Bore in late November following completion of heritage survey.

  • Mineralisation at Quartz Bore has been defined by drilling over a strike length of 600m and is open at depth and along strike

  • Geotech engaged to fly airborne EM survey at Mt Sydney Project, adjacent to Rumble Resources Limited’s (ASX:RTR) Braeside Project.

  • Mt Vernon tenement granted, historical copper-zinc targets to be reviewed with drilling occurring at the nearby Abra Base Metals Deposit by Galena Mining Limited (ASX:G1A).

  • Pilbara Conglomerate-hosted gold potential at the Company’s tenements to be investigated this quarter.

  • The Quartz Bore Project is adjacent to Venturex’s Loudens Patch Prospect and and proximate to recent “nugget patch” discoveries by De Grey Mining and DGO Gold

  • Proposed Option Entitlement Issue to shareholders

Tando Resources (“ Tando ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to advise on the current status of its exploration projects in the Pilbara region of Western Australia prior to its listing today on the ASX.

Quartz Bore – Drilling to Commence

In preparation for its maiden drill programme the Company will commence a heritage survey at the Quartz Bore Project (E47/3352) with the Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation, representatives of the Native Title Claimant Group.

It is anticipated that drilling will commence later in November. An Exploration Programme of Works has already been approved by the Department of Mines Industry, Regulation and Safety.

Drilling aims to verify historical results from the Quartz Bore Project including:

  • 15m @ 5.92% Zn, 0.80% Cu and 1.45% Pb (BBD009) o including 6m @ 7.34% Zn

  • 15m @ 5.11% Zn, 0.12% Cu and 1.89% Pb (BBRC007) o including 5m @ 12.5% Zn

==> picture [596 x 106] intentionally omitted <==

  • 3m @ 15.5% Zn, 0.76% Cu and 4.90% Pb (BBD003)

  • 7.6m @ 4.86% Zn, 2.13% Cu and 1.56% Pb (BBD002) o including 2m @ 13.71% Zn

  • 10m @ 4.45% Zn, 0.22% Cu and 2.54% Pb (BBRC005) o including 2m @ 9.74% Zn

All drillhole results are listed in Appendix 1 and shown on Figure 1.

Downhole geophysical surveys will be completed on all holes with the aim of detecting extensions to mineralisation via the DHMMR and DHEM methods. These methods have been successfully employed by the Company’s consultants Southern Geoscience at the adjacent Salt Creek Deposit, owned by Venturex Resources (refer VXR’s ASX Announcement 31 May 2017).

Mt Sydney – Airborne EM survey planned for November

The Mt Sydney Project (E47/4939) lies immediately south of the Braeside Project where drilling will commence in late November by Rumble Resources Limited (ASX.RTR, “ Rumble ”). The Braeside Project is centred on the historical Ragged Hills Mining centre, at which mineralisation is now interpreted to be associated with sub-volcanic rhyolite porphyries. The deposit model at Braeside highlights regional scale NWSE structures as a key target for Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide ( VMS ) mineralisation.

On 4 September 2017 Rumble announced the results of an airborne EM survey using the VTEMmax system which detected a substantial number of early- and late-time conductors associated with the structures mentioned above. On 16 October 2017 Rumble announced the presence of high grade zinc, lead and copper results from grab sampling over the conductors detected in the VTEMmax survey and other geochemical anomalies within their tenements. Significantly Rumble have not yet announced the presence of “false positives” such as graphitic shales and are currently completing a ground EM survey at the Braeside Project with drilling planned for later in November 2017

The same structures and lithologies which host mineralisation at the Braeside Project extend into the Company’s Mt Sydney Project. As a result Tando has engaged Geotech Airborne to fly a VTEMmax survey over the Mt Sydney Project. This survey is anticipated to commence in 2 - 3 weeks with results likely to be received in early December following which field inspection and ground surveys will be planned. This systematic exploration approach resembles the exploration derisking applied on Rumbles Braeside Project.

Mt Vernon – Review of historical exploration underway following tenement grant,

The tenement which comprises the Mt Vernon Project (E52/3560) was granted on 24 August 2017. Review of historical exploration is already underway including a number of historical geochemical and geophysical surveys including drainage, soil and rock sampling; radiometric, gravity and IP surveys; and RC and diamond drilling.

Previous exploration in the area of the Mt Vernon Project was completed by Westfield Minerals, Aberfoyle Resources, BHP Minerals, CRA Exploration, Rio Tinto Exploration, Geotech International, Independence Group and Pioneer Resources.

Historical explorers have identified targets related to both sediment-hosted zinc-lead and structurally controlled copper mineralisation in the area of the Mt Vernon tenement, in similar settings to the Abra Base Metals Deposit (owned by Galena Mining (ASX.G1A)) and Newman Base Metals Project (owned by Marindi Metals (ASX.MZN)).

Tando will complete an initial review aimed at confirming the data which supports these targets and then design work programmes to test the most prospective targets.

Prospectivity for Conglomerate-hosted Gold and other Pilbara gold potential

Recent activity in the Pilbara region has focussed on conglomerate-hosted gold mineralisation as well as other gold mineralisation. While the focus of Tando Resources is on its advanced and prospective zinc targets it is worth noting that the Company’s tenements are within, or adjacent, to areas of interest for gold mineralisation:

  • The Mt Sydney tenement is underlain by the base of the Fortescue Group, including the Hardey Formation within which a number of conglomerate units have been mapped

  • The Quartz Bore Project is adjacent to Venturex’s Loudens Patch Prospect and proximate to recent “nugget patch” discoveries by De Grey Mining and DGO Gold (refer ASX.VXR Announcement 18 October 2017, ASX.DEG ASX Announcements 26 September 2017 & 30 October 2017 and ASX.DGO Announcement 25 October 2017).

Identification of prospective lithologies on the Company’s tenements, or of potential gold occurrences, is complicated by the present of recent cover. The Company plans to investigate a number of areas of interest on its tenure as fieldwork commences in each area.

In addition the Company plans to evaluate and take advantage of any new opportunities that it identifies in the region.

Corporate Update

The Company advises that it intends to lodge a prospectus regarding a non-renounceable option entitlement issue to shareholders (the Offer). Shareholders will be entitled to one (1) option for every four (4) shares held in the Company at the record. The entitlement offer is being managed by Xcel Capital Pty Ltd.

The options will have a price of $0.01, a term of 2 years and a strike price of $0.25. The Company will seek to have the options listed on the ASX.

The prospectus is anticipated to be lodged within the next week with the record date for these options to be four days after the date of lodgement, however investors should refer to the prospectus for the actual record date and other key dates of the Offer.

APPENDIX 2.

The following Tables are provided to ensure compliance with the JORC Code (2012 Edition) requirements for the reporting of the Exploration Results at the Quartz Bore Project.

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data (Criteria in this section applies to all succeeding sections)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (eg 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.
Several generations of drilling have been undertaken
on the Quartz Bore Project since the 1970’s. The
drilling results detailed in this report were from drilling
undertaken by Straits Resources Ltd (ASX:SRL) during
2005-2007 and Venturex Resources Limited (ASX:VXR)
during 2010-2012. All results have been previously
reported under JORC 2004 reporting standards to the
Australian Stock Exchange.
Main exploration activities included a combination of
surface geochemical sampling and several drilling
methods.
Conventional
Diamond
Drilling
(DD),
Reverse
Circulation (RC), Aircore (AC) and Auger were used to
the test the Quartz Bore Project.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Core sample intervals vary depending on geological
contacts and are generally between 0.3m and 4.0m,
with the most often sample interval being 1.0m.
Prior to cutting, the core was marked up by a
geologist, orienting the core where possible to ensure
the relative orientation of consecutive pieces of core.
All core wasphotographed for reference.
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 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.
All aspects of the determination of mineralisation are
described in this table.
The core sampling method and the RC sampling
method is considered appropriate for the VMS
mineralisation.
All of the drill samples were sent to a commercial
laboratory for crushing, pulverising and chemical
analysis by industry standard practises.
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 of standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is orientated and if so, by what method,
etc).
Drilling methods included Diamond Drilling (DD),
Reverse Circulation (RC), Rotary Air Blast (RAB) and
Auger.
Diamond drilling used HQ and NQ2 core sizes. Coring
was from surface using HQ. Core was changed to NQ2
when ground conditions were competent. All NQ2 core
was orientated. All diamond core was stored in industry
standard core trays labelled with the drill hole ID and
core interval.
RC drilling used an industry standard 5.5 inch face
sampling hammer.

Drill
sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
All operators recorded diamond drill core recovery as a
percentage of measured recovered cores versus drilled
distance. Recoveries were generally high except for
cavity zones in the oxide zone.
RC samples were collected to industry standards of the
day. The locations of intervals of damp or wet samples
and/or low recovery were recorded at the drill site and
entered into the database.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
RC drilling - the cyclone and splitter were routinely
inspected and cleaned during the drilling, ensuring no
excessive material build-up. Care was taken to ensure
the split samples were of a consistent volume.
Diamond drilling - coring was from surface using HQ
and only changed to NQ2 when ground conditions were
competent.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery
and grade and whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.
There is no known or reported relationship between
sample recovery and grade with the RC drilling.
With the Diamond Drilling, recoveries were generally
high except for cavity zones in the oxide zone.
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.
The RC drill holes were geologically logged at 1m
intervals for the total length of the hole using the
company standard logging legend. The logs were
recorded on company standard paper logging sheets
and entered into the company database.
Diamond drill core was geologically logged for the total
length of the hole using a graphic logging method. All
core was photographed and images were stored in the
company
database.
Logging
routinely
recorded
lithology, mineralogy, alteration, veining, structure,
mineralisation and weathering. Logs were coded using
the company geological coding legend and entered into
the company database.
Logging is appropriate and sufficiently detailed to
support Mineral Resource estimates.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.
Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
Logging of chips and diamond core is both qualitative
(eg.
colour)
and
quantitative
(eg.
minerals
percentages). All core was photographed and images
were stored in the company database. Various
historical reports contain petrography reports.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
100% of all core and RC samples which included all
mineralised intervals was logged.
Sub-sampling
techniques
and
sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half
or all core taken.
Sampling for all of the diamond core was undertaken
on split core, halved via a core saw. Where duplicate
samples were required the core was quartered with
two duplicate quarter core samples sent for assay and
the remaining half-core returned to the tray as a
record.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
AllRCdrill holes and pre-collars were sampled from
the rig via 1m splits to calico bags, with a target weight
of between 2kg to 4kg. The bulk sample reject was
collected in a UV-destabilised green plastic bag and
kept at the drill site. All sample bags were sampled by

Sample intervals which returned significant anomalies
in base metals (>0.2% Cu, >0.2% Zn, >0.2% Pb)
were then resampled via collection of the 1m splits
from the drill rig. Where sample quality was
insufficient, the bulk sample was dry split through a 2-
tier riffle splitter and a split sample was collected.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
The sampling techniques for both diamond drilling and
RC drilling are of consistent quality and appropriate.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.
Detailed QAQC procedures and data for the historical
drilling is not available. Field duplicates were collected
as quartered diamond core, as 1m spear samples, or as
4m composite samples identical as much as practically
possible to the original sample.
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.
QAQC has been reported to have been routinely
conducted
throughout
historical
drilling
and
geochemical sampling, however methodologies are not
documented.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size
of the material being sampled.
The material and sample sizes are considered
appropriate given the volcanic massive sulphide style of
mineralisation beingtargeted.
Quality

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.
The analytic methods for the programs with significant
results which have been tabled in Appendix 1 are
outlined below.
Theaircoresamples were collected were for litho-
geochemical purposes both at the end of the hole, and
as 3 metre composite samples. Down hole samples
were taken and analysed by ALS in Perth. Samples
were analysed for Au by fire assay (Method AA25)
using a nominal 30 gram sample weight. The samples
were also digested with HF-HNO3-HCLO4acid, leached
in HCl, and analysed for ICP-AES method MEICP61. Via
this method assays for the following elements were
recorded: Au, Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu,
Fe, Ga, K, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sc, Sr,
Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W and Zn. Any samples with a Cu
value exceed 0.3% (3000ppm) were also analysed for
Cu sequentially, determining the amount of Cu
dissolvable in H2SO4, dissolvable in cyanide, and the
residual amount of Cu.
AllRCdrillholes and pre-collars were sampled from the
rig via 1m splits to calico bags, with a target weight of
between 2kg to 4kg. The bulk sample reject was
collected in a UV-destabilised green plastic bag and
kept at the drill site. All sample bags were sampled by
spear on a 4m compositing interval and sent for
indicative geochemistry to ALS-Chemex Laboratories,
Perth, for analysis via method MEICP61 (see analysis
details above in auger section).
Sample intervals which returned significant anomalies
in base metals (>0.2% Cu, >0.2% Zn, >0.2% Pb)

weight. The following multi-elements were digested in
Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg,
Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sr, Ti, V, W & Zn. Where
any samples exceeded a Cu value 0.3% (3000ppm)
another sample was taken from the sample pulp and
analysed for Cu sequentially, determining the amount
of Cu dissolvable in H2SO4, dissolvable in cyanide, and
the residual amount of Cu.

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.
Hand held assay devices have not been reported.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie
lack of bias) and precision have been established.
Quality control exercised upon laboratory analyses
included the insertion of standards and the collection of
field duplicates. Field duplicates were collected as
quartered diamond core, as 1m spear samples, or as
4m composite samples identical as much as practically
possible to the original sample. All standards and
blanks were inserted blind into the sample stream sent
to the laboratory and assessed for variance from
expected norms via statistical analysis. Where QAQC
was insufficient, the batch was re-analysed.

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.
Rock samples were located in the field with survey
control via handheld Global Positioning System (GPS),
with an assumed accuracy (dither factor) of ±5m
accuracy on easting and northing and ±10m accuracy
on RL,
Location data for aircore, RC and diamond drillhole
data included in Annexure A was initially recorded by
handheld GPS (±5m accuracy on easting and northing
and (±10m accuracy on RL). Subsequent to drilling, RC
and diamond drill collars were surveyed via Differential
Global Positioning System (DGPS), with accuracy of
±0.1 meters on easting, northing and RL.
Drillhole deviation for diamond drilling was measured
via in-rod surveys during drilling, This was conducted
using Eastman camera surveys. Interference from the
drill rods cannot be ruled with the RC drillholes, so
these results are only considered indicative, however a
stainless steel started rod was used to increase
confidence in the results.
WBRC028 through WBRC031 were drilled subsequent
to the loss of the stainless steel equipment, and as
such down-hole deviation is unknown. This is
considered acceptable given the results returned from
these holes.
Diamond drilling received down hole surveys every 30
metres were possible, via in-rod shots, which are
considered reasonably reliable.
Holes that struck mineralisation had 50mm PVC pipe
installed, keeping the hole open and allowing a gyro
survey to be undertaken. A selection of these holes
were surveyed with a north-seeking gyroscopic survey
tool by ABMI Solutions Pty Ltd to give a true down-hole
survey free from magnetic interference. The accuracy
of this tool is warranted to ±0.5° of dip and azimuth.
Deviation in the holes drilled during the 2007-2009
reporting periods were generally low. The majority of
the holes surveyed with the gyroscopic tool confirmed
the previous in-rod surveys, and thereby the Eastman
results were considered accurate.
Specification of the grid system used. The grid system for the Quartz Bore Project is Map Grid
of Australia GDA 94, Zone 50.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. The RL of drill collars (RC and diamond) was measured
by DGPS survey to an accuracy of ±0.1 meters which
gives a satisfactory control over the topography.
Data
spacing
and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. The spacing and location of the majority of the drilling
at the Quartz Bore Project is, by the nature of early
exploration variable. Drilling to date over the Balla Balla
Prospect is on approximately 50m - 100m centres east-
west and 25m -100m centres north-south over the

estimation
procedure(s)
and
classifications applied.
Data spacing is deemed sufficient to establish
geological and grade continuity to establish a mineral
resource estimate but a mineral resource has not been
estimated.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. No sample compositing has been applied.
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.
The majority of the drilling at Quartz Bore is inclined to
the north-west which is considered appropriate given
the regional and local geological fabric and structures.
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.
To date, orientation of the mineralised domain has
been favourable for perpendicular drilling and sample
widths are not considered to have added a significant
sampling bias.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples were store at the secure Whim Creek yard.
Samples were collected from site by a transport
company and delivered to the assay laboratory in
Perth.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
No independent audits have been undertaken.

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.
All hole collar locations, depths, azimuths and dips
are provided within this announcement (Appendix
1) for drilling completed by Straits and Venturex.
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

explain why this is the case.
Not applicable.
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.
Reported
intersections
are
downhole,
length-
weighted averages that were calculated using a
nominal ≥1.0% Cu lower cut-off, ≥1.0% Pb lower
cut-off or ≥1.0% Zn lower cut-off; 1m minimum
reported length and up to 3m of internal waste.
Geochemical sampling results presented are single
point data.
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.
No top cuts have been considered in reporting of
grade results, nor was it deemed necessary for the
reporting of significant intersections.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalent values are currently being used
for reporting exploration results.
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’).

All intersections are reported as downhole lengths.
Drillholes were predominantly drilled perpendicular
to the interpreted strike of the geological terrain so
that downhole lengths approximate true widths as
close as possible. Additional drill holes are required
to confirm the relationship between downhole
lengths and true widths.
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.
Refer to Figures in body of announcement and in

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 misleadingreportingof Exploration
