NEW TENEMENT APPLICATION – MUSGRAVE REGION
Zeus Resources Ltd (ACN 139 183 190) (ASX: ZEU ) (“ Zeus ” or “the Company ”) is pleased to announce that the Company has applied for two new tenements ( E69/4147 and E69/4148 ) approximately 1,000 km northwest of Kalgoorlie and 1,600 km northwest from Perth in the Musgrave region of Western Australia. The tenements cover approximately 281 km[2] and 120 km[2] respectively of the West Musgrave greenstones and granitic rocks that are highly prospective for nickel, gold, REEs and base metals.
“We are pleased about applying for another two tenements in the Musgrave area. These two big new tenements will bring Zeus more diversification in commodities including nickel, gold, REEs and base metals.” said Mr Jian (Daniel) Liu, Executive Director of Zeus .

During April 2023 a study of areas of Western Australia that had exploration potential for economic “battery” and precious minerals not already covered by mineral tenements identified two areas in the Musgraves in the far west of Western Australia that have been applied for by Zeus.
As well as having interesting geology they are in the vicinity of several major new development projects including the Babel/Nebo nickel deposits discovered by OZ Minerals and recently taken over by BHP ( ASX: BHP ), the Wingellina cobalt/nickel deposit owned by NiCo Resources Ltd ( ASX: NC1 ) and the Handpump/Mount Squires gold project owned by Caspin Resources Ltd ( ASX: CPN ) .

Geology
Zeus’ two Musgrave tenements lie within one of Australia’s last under-explored and highly prospective frontier regions, the West Musgrave Province, and are prospective for nickel, gold, base metals, precious metals, and lithium mineralisation (Figure 2).
==> picture [452 x 203] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2: Regional geology of West Musgraves superimposed on regional RTP aeromagnetics and GSWA MINEDEX mineral localities.
The Musgrave Province orogenic belt lies at the junction of three stable crustal landmasses or cratons (North Australian, West Australian and South Australian cratons) that collided during an active period of plate tectonics in the Proterozoic (Figure 3). During this tectonically active period, magma from the upper mantle intruded the belt forming numerous massive mafic and ultramafic intrusions and volcanics.
The Musgrave Province contains one of the greatest concentrations of mafic–ultramafic layered intrusions globally, among them Mantamaru is one of the world's largest layered intrusions, as well as several eroded remnants of super volcanoes.
These rocks sourced from the mantle are rich in iron, base metals including copper and nickel, gold, platinum group elements (PGE), some rare earth elements (REE), chromite and vanadium. Due to the high iron content of these mafic and ultramafic rocks they have a higher density than the neighbouring crustal cratons and show up as gravity highs on regional gravity maps and as magnetic highs on regional aeromagnetic maps (Figure 4).
The far west of the Musgrave Region, including both of Zeus’ tenements, is largely covered by Recent eluvial and alluvial sands and silts obscuring a large portion of the bedrock geology.

JACKIE JUNCTION (E69/4147) GEOLOGY
The Jackie Junction tenement bedrock geology is interpreted to be Warakurna Supersuite granites with layered mafics correlated with Giles Complex equivalent mafic rocks, as found at the Babel and Nebo nickel deposits located approximately 80 km to the southeast, crossing the north of the tenement (Figure 5).

Past Exploration
As with most of the Musgrave region, the Jackies Junction tenement, despite its prospectivity, has only been cursorily explored.
The earliest meaningful exploration within the tenement was by Strzelecki Metals Limited with joint venture partner Tortuga Advisors Limited around 2010. The JV partners conducted and airbourne TMI survey, reconnaissance rockchip and soil geochemical sampling that covered the southern extremities of E69/4147.
About the same period Rubicon Resources Limited (in JV with Vale) were exploring the northern part of E69/4147 concentrating on the Giles Comples layered mafics. Rubicon completed an
aeromagnetic survey followed up by a VTEM Survey then a sahllow Aircore drilling program to test the bedrock lithologies below the surficial sands. Rubicon surrendered their tenements citing a lack of EM conductors.

WARBURTON EAST (E69/4148) GEOLOGY
The Warburton East tenement bedrock geology is interpreted to be Bentley Supergroup sediments being overlain by the Lupton Formation to the south (Figure 7).
==> picture [298 x 213] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 7: Bedrock geology at Warburton East E69/4148.
The tenement lies toward the southwestern margin of the Talbot Sub-Basin, comprising Bentley Supergroup.
The Bentley Supergroup has been interpreted as probable continental volcanic origin, comprising a rift-related sequence of (commonly bimodal) volcanics, sediments and sub volcanic intrusive complexes emplaced over a period of ~50 m.y. (Figure 7).
In the local area, the Bentley Supergroup comprises:
The Pussy Cat Group - comprising the Glyde Hill Formation mafic volcanics and interlayered sediments and the Kathleen Ignimbrite. The Group forms a narrow, arcuate belt that is unconformably overlain to the north by the overlying ‘Scamp Volcanic Association’ and to the south by the volcano-sedimentary Cassidy Group.
The Cassidy Group - forms a narrow arcuate belt of interlayered volcanic and sedimentary rocks that divide into a number of rhyolite flows, separated by thin silty sediments, with basalt units towards the top of the sequence. The uppermost Miller Basalt forms a magnetically distinctive (magnetic high) marker horizon.
The Mission Group - unconformably overlies the Cassidy Group, comprising a series of interbedded clastic and carbonate sediments with basalt and minor felsic volcanic rocks. It forms an arcuate belt approximately 5-10 km wide along the south-western margin of the Musgrave Block and is host to the majority of ‘ Warburton Copper Zone ’ copper occurrence. To the south, the Group is unconformably overlain by the Townsend Quartzite, the lowermost unit of the Officer Basin.
Most known mineralisation in the area comprises copper occurrences associated with the Warburton Copper Zone on the southern margin of the Talbot Sub-basin. The majority of these
www.zeusresources.com
occurrences occur within the Milesia Formation at the top of the Mission Group, comprising mostly basalt with quartzite, shale, and conglomerate. The Milesia Formation outcrops as low-lying SE trending ridges along the south-western margin of the Musgrave Block.
Some copper mineralisation has also been reported in the Pussy Cat Group and the Scamp volcanics (Mount Palgrave Group) to the north.
Past Exploration
Copper mineralisation was first discovered by prospectors in the Warburton area in the early 1960s. The Warburton region was subjected to a major exploration campaign by Western Mining Corporation (“ WMC ”) (1966-71).
Limited mining of narrow chalcocite-rich veins was also undertaken in the 1960’s at the Harry Simms and Thomas Simms mines. Although several companies have since held exploration tenements, work was restricted to geophysical interpretation and did not progress to the active stage.
WMC’s sampling confirmed the presence of copper mineralisation in the form of fine-grained chalcocite occurring in volcanic amygdales and disseminated in fine to medium grained clastic sediments. Their results also confirmed the presence of the broad low grade envelope surrounding the higher grade material. The dominant rock types in drilling are a variably spotted, medium grained, generally massive, mafic to intermediate volcanic rock; and what appears to be a pebbly porphyry clast conglomerate. A striking feature of the core is the predominance of pervasive red hematite alteration occurring in most rock types and often associated with magnetite.
WMC’s exploration was generally focussed on the delineation of the known narrow chalcocite-rich veins associated with cross-faults and the stratabound model does not appear to have been considered. A detailed soil sampling program (1600’ x 160’ grid) was undertaken, however the regional grid failed to delineate these zones.
Rubicon Resources Limited (in JV with Vale) explored the Warburton East tenement 2008 – 2010. Regionally, Rubicon carried out extensive airbourne and ground geophysics as well as detailed soil sampling (Figure 8).
==> picture [298 x 183] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 8: Past exploration at Warburton East showing Rubicon soil sampling.
www.zeusresources.com
Rubicon reported that their soil sampling, in other areas where WMC had soil sampled and drilled and Rubicon themselves had drilled, did not appear to properly discriminate mineralisation. As a result, their soil sampling results shown in Figure 8 may have missed mineralisation below the soil cover.
Rubicon reported that their soil samples are generally low grade, whereas the Rubicon Auger results picked up anomalous zones. Also, the deeper WMC vacuum sampling show variable, but often strong anomalism which is often not expressed at surface and increases downhole. The Rubicon Auger samples at approximately 1.5m depth often do not pick up the anomalism seen in the deeper vacuum sampling. Rubicon also noted that a number of the anomalies identified in drilling do not have known copper occurrences at surface.
PLANNED EXPLORATION
Once the tenements have been granted and all the necessary agreements with the Traditional Owners and environmental agencies are in place, Zeus intend to carry out reconnaissance mapping and geochemical sampling to determine the outcropping lithologies.
This initial reconnaisance exploration will be followed up with targeted Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) soil sampling, based mainly on interpreting available geophysical data, on appropriately spaced grids to locate any geochemically anomalous areas. The MMI soil sampling technique uses an inovative analytical method that better discriminates metal anomalism in soils that may overcome the difficulties experienced by Rubicon in their soil sampling. Any MMI anomalous areas will be subsequently followed up with Aircore/RAB and eventually RC drilling.
MORTIMER HILLS PROJECT (E09/2147)
The Mortimer Hills Project, approximately 130km northeast of Gascoyne Junction, is located on a highly prospective (lithium, caesium, tantalum) LCT pegmatite bearing belt of metasediments in contact with a regional scale north westerly trending granite, and along strike from Red Dirt Metals’ ( ASX: RDT ) Yinnietharra Lithium Project. Geological mapping by Zeus has shown that pegmatites occur along this contact in the Mortimer Hills tenement.
Zeus are planning to carry out a reconnaissance RC drilling program in the next Quarter to test these mapped pegmatites for lithium and Rare Earth Elements (REEs) once all the necessary approvals have been obtained.
BLUE HILL PROJECT (E59/2804 & E59/2806)
The Blue Hills Project consists of two EL applications ( E59/2804 and E59/2806 ) approximately 60 km west of Paynes Find. The tenements cover approximately 75 km[2] and 15 km[2] respectively of the Warriedar Fold Belt greenstones and granitic rocks that are highly prospective for lithium and REE bearing pegmatites, gold, and base metals.
During a reconnaissance field trip, pegmatite sub-crops were located within E59/2804 that included an indicator mineral beryl that suggests their enhanced prospectivity for lithium.
Once the tenements have been granted, Zeus intend to carry out detailed mapping and geochemical sampling to determine accurately the granite/greenstone contact and locate any pegmatite outcrops.
www.zeusresources.com
This mapping will be initially concentrated in the northwest of E59/2804 where the beryl in pegmatite sample was found.
After the extent of the greenstones has been accurately determined, soil sampling on an appropriately spaced grid will be carried out over the greenstones and adjacent granite to locate any geochemically anomalous areas that will be followed up with RC drilling.
WILUNA PROJECT (E53/1603 & E53/2197)
Geological exploration is continuing at the Wiluna Project, located near the township of Wiluna approximately 540 km north of Kalgoorlie, next to the Lake Way Project (previously owned by Salt Lake Potash Limited ( ASX: SO4 )) and recently acquired by Czech Investment Company Sev.en Global Investments.
Air-core drilling in September 2022 identified a free-flowing aquifer containing sulphate of potash brine flowing in a basal sand paleochannel approximately 3.5 km from the northerly margin of Salt Lake Potash’s Lake Way SOP deposit. This aquifer is suspected to be part of the underground feeder system for Lake Way’s SOP deposit.
Further exploration and activities including a detailed gravity survey and drilling is subject to the granting of the E53/2197 Exploration Licence.
