Manna Hill Project Exploration Update

 

Drilling programme extended based on observations for primary mineralisation (copper, gold, molybdenum)

 

Cobra (LSE: COBR), a South Australian mineral exploration and development company, is pleased to announce that, based on visual observations of drill cuttings, it has decided to immediately extend its Stage 1 Reverse Circulation ("RC") drill programme at the Manna Hill Copper Project by up to a further five drillholes.

 

Highlights:

 

·    13 drillholes completed to date, totalling 2,300m where:

 

Visible sulphides and alteration support broad zones of primary mineralisation beneath and along strike of defined oxide mineralisation.

Visible primary copper and molybdenum mineralisation occurs proximal to porphyry type quartz monzonite and diorite intrusions, that have been intersected in multiple drillholes and mapped at scale beyond defined mineralisation at Blue Rose.

Seven of 13 drillholes completed to date display visual signs of copper oxide and sulphides or molybdenite

Broad alteration zones support the thesis for a large-scale porphyry system.

 

·    The programme will be increased by up to a further five drillholes based on observations for primary mineralisation and to gain further geological and geochemical detail of the greater porphyry system.

 

·    Drilling is expected to be completed by next week, with first assays anticipated in March.

 

Cobra has a 12-month option to acquire the Manna Hill Project and will focus initially on the Blue Rose priority prospect ("Blue Rose") where existing drilling has intersected copper-gold mineralisation across 1.6km of strike immediately adjacent to a geophysical anomaly interpretated as a porphyry intrusion1.

Cautionary Statement: Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations. A summary log of visual estimates of mineralisation for drill holes MHRC0001 - MHRC0013 is provided in Table 1 below.

 


Rupert Verco, Managing Director of Cobra, commented:

 

"Whilst visual observations are not results, the geological observations being made from this drilling programme to date are encouraging for a scalable copper discovery.

 

The team, along with Bullion drilling, has done an exceptional job battling challenging conditions and we are grateful for the perseverance and professionalism that they have shown to overcome extreme temperatures."

 


Further details concerning drilling progress

 

The Blue Rose Prospect is of skarn-replacement type where previous exploration has defined copper-gold-molybdenum across 1.6 km of continuous strike where drilling has defined the previous intersections:

 

[RABR822] 47m at 2.2% Cu and 0.76 g.t Au from 11m

[RCBR025] 132m at 0.52% Cu from 8m including 48m at 1.04% Cu

[RABR152] 41m at 1.6% Cu from 9m including 18m at 2.03% Cu

[RABR205] 43m at 0.6% Cu from 12m

[RCBR030] 52m at 0.77% Cu and 0.94 g/t Au from 80m

[RABR198] 24m at 1.0% Cu from 18m incl. 3m @ 1.23g/t Au

[RCBR021] 23m at 1.4% Cu from 73m incl. 12m @ 0.71g/t Au

 

Geophysics including gravity, induced polarisation and magnetics have been used in collaboration with geochemistry to refine the interpretation of both the stratigraphic unit hosting shallow skarn mineralisation, and porphyry mineralisation that is interpreted to envelop a remnant magnetised intrusion. Whilst past exploration has intersected quartz monzonite intrusions proximal to skarn mineralisation, their relationship and influence on mineralisation is not clearly understood. This RC programme has generated the first pXRF multi-element dataset that has enabled Cobra and its consultants to assess the geochemistry of the system and evaluate the data in the context of a porphyry setting.

 

Observations from completed drilling support depth continuities of shallow mineralisation whilst also defining key indicators for mineralisation control and system continuity. As a result, up to five additional holes will be drilled to further test for scale and for potassic porphyry mineralisation.

Figures 2 & 3: Sections 428625mE and 429025mE that highlight downhole visual observations of oxide and sulphide mineralisation below previous drilling and intersected intrusions relative to mineralisation within drillhole MHRC0003.

 

 

Key points:

 

·    Several holes contain chemistry that indicates that alteration and mineralisation are proximal to, or within a potassic zone (Figure 4).

·    Potassic (biotite and K-feldspar) alteration occurs proximal to intersected intrusions. This alteration is associated with copper sulphides and molybdenite.

·    Intrusions (quartz monzonite, diorite and dacites) have been identified at surface, well beyond the strike of Blue Rose mineralisation where copper mineralisation is apparent at surface along with strong nontronite (after sulphide) alteration (Figures 5 and 6).

·    Dyke swarms are important within porphyry systems and understanding the geochronology sequence and their enrichment potential is an important process for identifying the structures that host the highest-grade mineralisation.

·    At the completion of drilling, geochemistry will enable alteration modelling and porphyry vectoring.

About the Manna Hill Project

 

The Manna Hill Project (the "Project") represents South Australia's premier porphyry prospect in the state that holds around 70% of Australia's copper reserves. The project is comprised of multiple early stage porphyry and skarn prospects.

 

The project also includes the Luron Carlin style gold prospect and multiple historic goldfields where over 30koz Au were reported to have been produced. This style of mineralisation remains underexplored and highly prospective.

 

The Project sits along the national railway and Barrier Highway between the mining hub of Broken Hill, the port and base metals smelter and Port Pirie and the City of Adelaide.

Appendix 1: JORC Code, 2012 Edition - Table 3

 

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.

·    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 (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.

Historic

·      Historic drill programs have been conducted by multiple companies and methods the historically reported results are being reviewed prior to any broader reporting of results. In general lab assay results across differing programs show comparable tenors of grade and distribution.

 

Present

·      RC drill cuttings were collected from the drill rig cyclone in 2 m intervals in industry standard green bags with a 2m representative split from the cyclone collected into a calico bag. The green and calico bags were arranged in rows on site for sampling and assaying.

·      2 m samples were split using a cone splitter mounted on the drill rig.

·      Samples were submitted to BV Laboratories, Perth for analysis.

Drilling techniques

·    Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg 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).

Historic Drilling

·      Historic drill methods were predominantly aircore and RC drilling with some diamond drilling reported

 

Current Drilling

·      Schramm T685 RC rig operated by Bullion Drilling Pty Ltd. The RC drilling was conducted using a 5 ¾-inch hammer. A booster air compressor was used throughout the program.

 

 

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/gain of fine/coarse material.

·      Historic recoveries have not been assessed.

·      Drill methods and geological conditions are not expected to promote significant reduced recovery or sample biasing

·      Bulk RC samples were visually assessed and considered to be representative with good recovery. Recoveries were recorded onsite into Cobras MX Deposit database.

·      Water was intersected in several drillholes. Where outside return was lost and sample recovery reduced. Recovery estimates recorded into the companies database. Shroud tolerance was managed to optimise recovery.

 

 

 

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.

 

·      Historic logging has been completed with a number of different geological logging codes. These are being translated into a standardized logging format prior to entry into the Cobra Drillhole Database

 

·      All holes were qualitatively geologically logged for their entire length by suitably qualified Discover Co geologists and recorded onsite into Discover Co's MX Deposit database.

·      Mineral Resources have not been estimated; however, the quality of the logging is expected to be suitable for low-confidence resource estimation purposes.

·      The detail of geological logging is considered sufficient for exploration and resource definition drilling.

·      Logging included visual estimates for copper oxides and sulphides aswell as pyrite content

·      All intersections were logged.

 

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.

Historic

·      Historic sampling has not been assessed.

Current

·      For each metre, a Metzke cone split sample was collected in a calico bag. A portable XRF unit was used to screen a selected interval of 1m RC bulk samples for anomalous copper values. Where copper value readings exceeded ~200 ppm Cu, sampling was conducted at 1m intervals using the Metzke cone split samples.

·      Weights of samples submitted for assay averaged 2.5 kg and ranged between 1.8 to 4.1 kg. Sample size is considered appropriate for the material sampled.

·      Commercially certified reference material of known copper grades and of suitable matrix were included in the laboratory assay sequence at a rate of 1 per 50 samples.

·      First-split duplicate samples were collected at a rate of 1 per 50 samples.

·      A coarse blank sample was inserted 1 in every 50 samples.

·      The Competent Person considers that the sample size is appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.

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 (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.

Historic

·      Lab certificates for a large number of drill samples have been retained from historic drilling. These certificates will be used for the import of data into Cobra's drillhole database.

 

Current

·      All samples managed for the presence of asbestiform mineral fibers owing to the presence of serpentine and chrysotile

Exploration done by other parties

·      Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

 

·      Historic Exploration has been conducted by multiple companies with key work completed by PacMag, Lynas and Giralia Resources.

·      Historic exploration demonstrated the geological environment at Blue Rose and the potential for economic mineralization

·      Commercially driven decisions and land access challenges (now resolved) were common trends in the history of the project transactions

Geology

·      Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

Blue Rose

·      Blue Rose is skarn hosted mineralization on the margins of the Anabama Granite

·      Oxide mineralisation is stratabound to the Saddleworth limestone formation

·      A number of porphyry related intrusions have a spatial relationship to mineralisation at Blue Rose and further analysis is planned to determine the control on exo-skarn mineralisation.

Neptune Rose

·      Is interpreted to be hosted within skarn mineralization.

·      Assessment of the structural vs stratigraphic controls on mineralization will be assessed during drilling

Black Baccara

·      Is interpret to be a sulphide rich halo around a magnetic low core.

Assessment of Geological survey spectral from nearby "near miss" diamond holes indicate the metamorphic gradient and spectral responses anticipated from a porphyry system

Drillhole 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.

·      Drilling results are being assessed on the migration of data to the Cobra drillhole database

·      Historic drill results reflective of the grades and widths expected of the Blue Rose prospect.

·      Reporting of these results will be included at the completion of the data migration and review.

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.

·      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.

 

·      Historic grade intercepts as length weighted averages with downhole lengths reported, appropriate for this stage of drilling.

·      No top cutting of grades has been included

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').

·      Downhole intercept lengths are expected to be greater than true length

·      angled drilling has typically been diping 60 degrees to the south with the mineralization interpreted to be sub vertical at Blue Rose

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.

·      Relevant diagrams have been included in the announcement.

·      Exploration results are not being reported for existing mineral resources.

·      Drilling is aimed at defining new mineral resources.

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.

·      Historic results are being assessed during the data migration to the Cobra drillhole database.

·      This announcement is indicative of the results of the geophysical methods (Induced Polarization) the method does not directly indicate size or grades of mineralisation

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.

·      Geophysical results are the focus of the announcement
