ABOUT ERRAWARRA RESOURCES

  • (EST. 2012)

Errawarra Resources Ltd is an exploration company with a focus on gold and nickel-copper in Western Australia.

During the 2[nd] Quarter (October – December 2020) Errawarra:

  • Binti Binti (Gold) – completed 99 aircore drill holes for 5,267 metres testing a structurally well positioned, gold in soil anomaly adjacent to high grade historic shafts.

  • Gindalbie (Gold) – acquired an 80% interest in a granted exploration tenement covering the historic Gindalbie goldfield. The tenement adjoins Errawarra’s Binti Binti Gold Project and has increased the Company’s land position by 57% to 64km[2] giving it a controlling interest in the historic goldfield.

  • Fraser Range (Nickel-Copper-PGE) – commenced ground electromagnetic (EM) surveys located 30kms south of the Nova-Bollinger aimed at identifying anomalous bedrock geophysical responses potentially representing a massive sulphide source hosting nickel mineralisation.

  • Errabiddy (Gold & Nickel-Copper) – planned large airborne magnetic survey over 100% of the project to provide detailed data for structural interpretation prior to the first field visit.

  • Corporate – raised $6 Million and listed on ASX on 14 December 2020.

During the 3[rd] Quarter (January – March 2021) Errawarra plans to:

  • Binti Binti (Gold) – receive and interpret assays from the recently completed drilling, and if warranted commence in-fill aircore drilling in March 2021.

  • Gindalbie (Gold) – commence aircore drill testing along strike of historic high grade shafts during March 2021.

  • Fraser Range (Nickel-Copper-PGE) – complete first and second phases of ground geophysical surveys and if warranted, lodge applications to drill test anomalous bedrock responses.

  • Errabiddy (Gold & Nickel-Copper) – fly detailed airborne magnetic survey over 100% of the project and commence structural interpretation.

  • Corporate – issue listed options to all shareholders on the register on the record date, which will be a date (to be set) in March 2021.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT

EXPLORATION

Errawarra Resources Ltd (Errawarra or the Company) holds three exploration projects, namely Binti Binti / Gindalbie, Fraser Range and Errabiddy. The projects are prospective for gold and nickel-copper mineralisation.

==> picture [458 x 272] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: Portfolio location map

Binti Binti (Gold)[1]

The Binti Binti gold project is located, 70km north-east of Kalgoorlie. Errawarra is targeting an orogenic gold deposit in a similar structural setting to King of the Hills (ex Tarmoola)[2] (refer figures 2 and 3 on page 3).

Aircore drilling commenced in November 2020 and was focussed on testing a structurally well positioned, gold-in-soil anomaly adjacent to high grade historic shafts. This anomalous zone is situated between historic gold workings and the prospective Emu shear zone (refer figure 4 on page 3). In Archean orogenic terrane, small-scale faults marginal or peripheral to the larger-scale features are considered highly prospective. The drilling was aimed at intersecting gold mineralisation within a pressure shadow at the greenstone-granite contact. This first phase of drilling was completed late December 2020. Ninety-nine (99) holes were completed for 5,267 metres. All holes were drilled vertically to ‘blade refusal’ the point at which the aircore rods can no longer penetrate the fresh competent rock. Holes were spaced at 100 metre intervals on each line, and each line was 200 metres apart. The average hole depth was 53 metres. Samples have been submitted for analysis. Assay results and interpretation is expected to be completed in February 2021. Subject to receipt of encouraging gold results Errawarra will return to Binti Binti to continue drilling for gold in March 2021.

The registered holder of the Binti Binti exploration license is Errawarra non-executive director Greta Purich. The Australian Financial Review has completed a feature article on Ms Purich which can be accessed here.

2 The King of the Hills (KoTH) Gold Mine (also called Tarmoola circa 1985) is 30 kilometres north of Leonora. It is owned by RED 5 Ltd (not Errawarra Resources Ltd). KoTH started as a prospector show in 1897 and has produced >2.0M Oz. Tarmoola open pit (1985-2004) 28.4Mt @1.8g/t Au for 1.65Moz contained gold. KoTH underground (1985-2019) 2.5Mt @ 4.3g/t u for 0.35Moz contained gold)

Gindalbie (Gold)

Errawarra acquired an 80% interest in granted exploration license E27/577 which covers the historic Gindalbie goldfield located 75 kilometres north-northeast of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. The tenement adjoins Errawarra’s Binti Binti Gold Project and has increased Errawarra’s ground position by 57% to 64km[2] which gives it a controlling interest in the goldfield (refer figure 5 on page 4). Errawarra acquired its interest in E27/577 to build on its current exploration footprint in this highly prospective area. Applications have been lodged to commence aircore drill testing gold targets within the recently acquired Gindalbie tenement in March 2021.

Fraser Range (Nickel-Copper-Cobalt)

The Fraser Range project located approximately 30kms south-west of the operating Nova nickel-copper-cobalt mine owned by IGO Ltd is considered prospective for Nova style Ni-Cu-Co magmatic sulphide mineralisation (refer figures 6 and 7 on page 6).

The project is at an early stage of exploration and priority areas identified for testing are based on gravity anomalies, magnetic anomalies, geochemical anomalies, and favourable geological units for hosting sulphide mineralisation. Surface electromagnetic (EM) surveying will cover the priority areas and test for conductors that may be related to nickelcopper sulphide mineralisation.

The first phase of ground EM surveying commenced in December 2020 and is scheduled to be completed early February 2021. The second phase of ground EM surveying will commence mid-February 2021. If conductors are identified from a bedrock source, applications will be made to drill test the conductive target as soon as possible.

For a detailed technical description please refer to the Independent Geological Report available for download here accompanying the Prospectus lodged with ASX.

Errabiddy – Gold & Nickel-Copper

The Errabiddy project is located 200km north-west of Meekatharra, Western Australia on the north-eastern margin of the Yilgarn craton (refer figure 1 on page 2 and figure 8 on page 7). Errabiddy is located within an area that has recently undergone a “pegging rush” by several companies including Chalice Mines Ltd (owners of the Julimar nickel-copperPGE discovery). Errawarra’s package includes rock units prospective for intrusion hosted nickel-copper mineralisation and orogenic gold (refer figures 9 and 10 on page 8 and figure 11 on page 9).

The Errabiddy project is at an early stage and is considered highly prospective due to its location and the encouraging results achieved by previous explorers. A detailed airborne magnetic (gradiometer) and radiometric survey (approximately 12,000 line kilometres) has been contracted for completion in March 2021, and the first round of surface sampling and ground electromagnetic surveys is scheduled to commence in the 4[th] Quarter. The aim of these exploration activities is to generate targets that warrant drill testing.

For a detailed technical description please refer to the Independent Geological Report available for download here accompanying the Prospectus lodged with ASX.
