Full assay results for second campaign at Big One
Castillo Copper Limited (LSE and ASX: CCZ), a base metal explorer primarily focused on copper across Australia and Zambia, is pleased to announce that the full assay results for the second campaign at the Big One Deposit have been returned, delivering findings consistent with the geology team's expectations.
The campaign comprised 20 reverse circulation drill-holes for a total of 2,632m and one with a HQ diameter diamond-cored tail for a total of 32m (BO_334DD). Refer to Appendix A for full details of the drilling and sampling programmes.
Highlights
· Interpreting the full assay results holistically from the second drilling campaign (out of three planned), which was designed to extend known mineralisation and test the halo south of the dacite dyke, highlighted the following:
o The first four drill-holes extended known mineralisation, as they were proximal to the dacite dyke, with the best intercepts comprising -
§ 9m @ 1.42% Cu fm 88m incl: 4m @ 3.06% Cu fm 92m & 1m @ 9.19% Cu fm 92m (BO_317RC)1
§ 5m @ 1.06% Cu fm 141m (BO_316RC)1
§ 16m @ 0.59% Cu fm 166m incl: 3m @ 1.76% Cu fm 176m (BO_318RC)
§ 3m @ 1.22% Cu fm 65m (BO_315RC)1
o These intercepts are in-line with results from the first drilling campaign completed in late 2020 which comprised -
§ 40m @ 1.64% Cu fm surface incl: 11m @ 4.40% Cu fm 24m, 5m @ 7.34% Cu fm 28m & 1m @ 16.65% Cu fm 29m (BO_303RC) 2
§ 44m @ 1.19% Cu fm surface incl: 14m @ 3.55% Cu fm 27m, 3m @ 10.88% Cu fm 37m & 1m @ 12.6% Cu fm 37m (BO_301RC) 2
· The drill-holes that targeted the halo, south of the dacite dyke, verified the known system runs for only circa 400m along the strike extent then intersects at a sharp angle with a major regional fault
· The third drilling campaign, comprising at least 22 drill-holes, will target several prime areas including the sizeable bedrock conductor on the north side of the dacite dyke2:
o Significantly, the geophysical characteristics of the northern bedrock conductor are identical to the known system prevalent along the line of lode3
· In addition, across the Big One Deposit are 12 separate legacy stockpiles from mid-1990 mining operations, which were assessed to comprise - 7,407t @ 1.17% Cu, while assayed rock-chip samples returned up to 3.32% Cu (Appendix A)
· At the Arya Prospect, the logistics team are on site, preparing the helipad / drill-pads in readiness for the equipment to arrive
· Further, due diligence is progressing on the Litchfield & Picasso Lithium Projects
Simon Paull, Managing Director of Castillo Copper, commented: "With results in from the second drilling campaign, it's encouraging that high-grade mineralisation was extended. Moving forward, the third drilling campaign at Big One Deposit will hit priority targets north of the line of lode, which includes a sizeable bedrock conductor. In the interim, however, the Board is looking forward to work finally commencing at the Arya Prospect and results of the due diligence programme which is continuing on the Litchfield & Picasso Lithium Projects."
SECOND CAMPAIGN REVIEW
Interpreting the assays results from the second drilling campaign holistically has significantly aided the geology team's understanding of the underlying system. The first four drill-holes (BO_315-318RC), which were designed to extend known mineralisation, clearly met this objective.
The best intercepts include the following:
· 9m @ 1.42% Cu fm 88m incl: 4m @ 3.06% Cu fm 92m & 1m @ 9.19% Cu fm 92m (BO_317RC)1
· 5m @ 1.06% Cu fm 141m (BO_316RC)1
· 16m @ 0.59% Cu fm 166m incl: 3m @ 1.76% Cu fm 176m (BO_318RC)
· 3m @ 1.22% Cu fm 65m (BO_315RC)1
These intercepts are broadly in line with results achieved from the inaugural drilling campaign undertaken in late 2020, which comprised:
· 40m @ Cu 1.64% fm surface incl: 11m @ 4.40% Cu fm 24m, 5m @ 7.34% Cu fm 28m & 1m @ 16.65% Cu fm 29m (BO_303RC) 2
· 44m @ 1.19% Cu fm surface incl: 14m @ 3.55% Cu fm 27m, 3m @ 10.88% Cu fm 37m & 1m @ 12.6% Cu fm 37m (BO_301RC) 2
Moreover, the drill-holes are mostly proximal to the open pits which were mined during the mid-to-late 1990s2.
Halo zone
The drill-holes which tested the halo to the south of the dacite dyke largely confirmed the system runs for only circa 400m along the line of lode. At a certain juncture toward the eastern end it intersects, at a sharp angle, with a major regional fault. Consequently, the mineralisation in this region extends beyond the confines of the 6m-wide dacite dyke into a mix of fractured quartzites and siltstones.
The best intercepts from the halo zone to the south and west of that intersection are as follows:
· 4m @ 0.56% Cu fm 100m incl: 1m @ 1.58% Cu fm 100m (BO_326RC)
· 5m @ 0.77% Cu fm 93m incl: 2m @ 1.57% (BO_327RC)
Third drilling campaign
Reflecting the fact there is still considerable exploration potential apparent at the Big One Deposit, a third drilling campaign, comprising at least 22 drill-holes has been formulated. This will target several areas on the northern side of the dacite dyke, including the sizeable bedrock conductor identified during the induced polarisation campaign2.
It is important to note, the geophysical characteristics of the northern bedrock conductor are identical to the anomaly along the line of lode where known mineralisation has been discovered.
HIGH GRADE STOCKPILES
As part of the exploration program across the Big One Deposit, sampling occurred at 12 separate legacy stockpiles from mid-1990 mining operations. Accurate volumes were calculated from a drone survey, which assessed the stockpiles to comprise 7,407t @ 1.17% Cu. Based on sample rock-chips taken from the stockpiles, the assays returned up to 3.32% Cu reconfirming the high-grade nature of the underlying system. However, there will need to be further metallurgical testing and a mining lease secured to process the stockpiles.
TRACK RECORD
Factoring in two historical drilling campaigns, coupled with CCZ's 2020-21 programs, the table below highlights the best intercepts recorded at the Big One Deposit2. The major takeaways from the work completed to date highlight an underlying copper system that is relatively shallow. However, the full picture will not be apparent until the northern bedrock conductor is test-drilled, and some deeper drill-holes test the eastern and downdip extents of the deposit.

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 (e.g., '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 (e.g., submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
· For the 2021 program, samples are taken off a cyclone for every metre drilled, put through a three tier, 87.5/12.5 splitter where approximately 2.5 kg of RC chip samples were collected for every metre drilled. The remainder was bagged separately and stored in case additional sub sampling is required before the end of the program. · Weights recovered from riffle splitting varied between 1-2kg for both the 1970 and 1993 drilling programs. · For the 2021 program, samples were also composited every four metres where visual inspection did not initially indicate copper mineralisation. All samples were collected to maximise optimal representation for each sample. · Each metre sample had an amount removed for washing and cleaning and sieving then place into metre allocated chip trays (see Figure A1-1). These chips were logged on site by the rig geologists and those logs have been saved into a spreadsheet and stored on the Company server. Any visible mineralisation, alteration or other salient features were recorded in the logs. Industry-wide, acceptable, standard practices were adhered to for the drilling and sampling of each metre as per the drilling and sampling Procedures set out before commencement of the drilling programme. |
|
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 or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit, or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). |
· Reverse Circulation, RC, and HQ-sized diamond wireline drilling techniques were utilised for all holes drilled at the Big One Deposit. |
|
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. |
· For the 2021 program, within acceptable industry standard limits, all samples collected were of near equal mass and recoveries were also within acceptable limits for RC drilling and all recorded in the daily logs. Every effort was made on site to maximise recovery including cleaning out the sample trays, splitter and cyclone and ensuring that the drillers progressed at a steady constant rate for the rig to easily complete each metre effectively. |
|
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. |
· For all drilling programs, every metre drilled and sampled was logged geologically in accordance with industry-wide acceptable standard for RC logging and the logging was qualitative in nature with every metre logged. Unfortunately, lithology dictionaries and descriptions varied between programs. The 2021 programs also recorded visible sulphide and carbonate concentrations and alteration minerals, such as orthoclase, epidote, chlorite, and sericite. |
|
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. · Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
· For the 2021 program, samples with pXRF copper <200ppm will be composited every four metres and all samples were collected to maximise optimal representation for each sample. If XRF is not available, then all samples with no visible mineralisation will be sampled as above. · Each metre sample had an amount removed for washing and cleaning and sieving then place into metre allocated chip trays. These chips were logged on site by the rig geologists and those logs have been saved into a spreadsheet and stored on the Company server. Any visible mineralisation, alteration or other salient features were recorded in the logs. Industry wide, acceptable, standard practices were adhered to for the drilling and sampling of each metre as per the Drilling and Sampling Procedures set out before commencement of the drilling programme. · Any reporting of significant mineralised intervals was on a received apparent thickness x interval calculation (i.e., thickness averaged). |
|
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 (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
· CCZ's DDH and RC holes will be assayed by an independent laboratory, ALS at Mt Isa, Townsville, or Brisbane Australia. Methods used were as follows: · Gold - by method Au-AA25 30g charge (fire Assay with AAS finish); · High gold values within oxide zone/supergene zone may need further testing by method Au-SCR21. · Copper and 32 other - by method ME-ICP41 (HF-HN03-HCL04 acid digest, HCL leach and ICP-AES finish). · Over-limit copper (>10,000 ppm [0.01%]) to be re assayed for copper by method Cu-OC62 (HF-HN03-HCL04 acid digest, HCL leach and ICP-AES finish). · These analytical methods are considered as suitable and appropriate for this type of mineralisation. · For the current drilling program ALS Brisbane will analyse all samples. All elements except for gold were analysed by method ME-MS61 (41 element testing via Aqua Regia digest then ICP-AES) and with any copper assays >1%, the copper will be redone using method Cu-OG46 with ICP-AES. The gold was done by method AA25. All methods used were both suitable and appropriate for the styles of mineralisation present in the Big One Deposit at the time of sampling. |
|
Verification of sampling and assaying |
· The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. · The use of twinned holes. · Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. · Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
· All CCZ's DDH and RC hole assay results from ALS have been reviewed by two independent consultant geologists. Assays from the BO_334DD have recently been resolved. · For current the rock chip sampling, Independent Laboratory assaying by ALS has confirmed, within acceptable limits, the occurrences of high-grade copper inferred from the initial XRF readings. Laboratory standards and duplicates were used in accordance with standard procedures for geochemical assaying. |
|
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. · Specification of the grid system used. · Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
· All twenty holes done by CCZ in 2021 have had their location surveyed by GPS and will, at then, at the completion of drilling, were surveyed by differential GPS by independent licensed surveyors (GMC Surveys). · The spatial location for these holes has been differentially surveyed into MGA94 - Zone 54. Collar heights are to the Australian Height Datum. · The locations of the 1970 drillholes and 1993 drillholes have been determined from georeferencing several plans and utilizing tables in historical reports. Location errors for the 1970 drilling is ±20m whereas it is about ±12m that for the 1993 holes. |
|
Data spacing and distribution |
· Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. · Whether the data spacing, and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. · Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
· The final 20 RC holes were part of a 35-hole program that was set out on a nominal 100m pattern or to redrill 2020 holes that were found to be too short. The 1970 drilling was set at a 30m spacing and the 1993 drilling also at a 50m spacing. At the completion of all the planned holes, the drillhole collars were differentially surveyed by an independent, licensed surveyor and the grid pattern verified. A drone survey over a 2.3Ha area was flown over the exploration area and covered the outcrop length of the dyke. Data was supplied as spot height clouds, orthophoto and topographic contours in DXF / DWG format. |
|
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. · 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. |
· The current CCZ RC drilling programme (Figures B1-1, B1-2) has had all holes oriented to intersect the mineralised structure/zone subsurface perpendicularly and therefore does not constitute any perceived bias. The typical dip direction of the new drillholes is 335-350 deg (Grid North). · Rock chip samples have also been taken at areas of interest from observed mineralisation along the line of lode of the mineralised dyke, secondary structures, and surrounding spoil heaps. |
|
Sample security |
· The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
· Each day's RC samples were removed from site and stored in a secure location off site. · The RC chip samples taken were securely locked within the vehicle on site until delivered to Mt Isa for despatch to the laboratory in person by the field personnel. |
|
Audits or reviews |
· The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
· This will be done once all 28 holes in CCZ's Stage 2021 program, and their assay results have been verified. · For the historical drilling, the sampling techniques and the data generated from the Laboratory Assay results have been peer reviewed by consultant geologists familiar with the overall Mt Oxide Project and deemed to be acceptable. To facilitate this, six (6) sites have twinned drillholes, with the current drilling spudded immediately adjacent to the historical 1970, 1993 and 2020 drilling programs. |

Geology |
· Deposit type, geological setting, and style of mineralisation. |
· The Mt Oxide North project is located within the Mt Isa Inlier of western Queensland, a large, exposed section of Proterozoic (2.5 billion- to 540-million-year-old) crustal rocks. The inlier records a long history of tectonic evolution, now thought to be like that of the Broken Hill Block in western New South Wales. · The Mt Oxide North project lies within the Mt Oxide Domain, straddling the Lawn Hill Platform and Leichhardt River Fault Trough. The geology of the tenement is principally comprised of rocks of the Surprise Creek and Quilalar Formations which include feldspathic quartzites, conglomerates, arkosic grits, shales, siltstones and minor dolomites and limestones. · The Project area is cut by a major fault zone, trending north- northeast - south- southwest across the permits. This fault is associated with major folding, forming several tight synclines- anticline structures along its length. · The Desktop studies commissioned by CCZ on the granted mineral tenures described four main styles of mineralisation account for most mineral resources within the rocks of the Mt Isa Province (after Withnall & Cranfield, 2013). · Sediment hosted silver-lead-zinc - occurs mainly within fine-grained sedimentary rocks of the Isa Super basin within the Western Fold Belt. Deposits include Black Star (Mount Isa Pb-Zn), Century, George Fisher North, George Fisher South (Hilton) and Lady Loretta deposits. · Brecciated sediment hosted copper - occurs dominantly within the Leichhardt, Calvert, and Isa Super basin of the Western Fold Belt, hosted in brecciated dolomitic, carbonaceous, and pyritic sediments or brecciated rocks proximal to major fault/shear zones. Includes the Mount Isa copper orebodies and the Esperanza/Mammoth mineralisation. · Iron-oxide-copper-gold ("IOCG") - predominantly chalcopyrite-pyrite magnetite/hematite mineralisation within high grade metamorphic rocks of the Eastern Fold Belt. Deposits of this style include Ernest Henry, Osborne, and Selwyn; and · Broken Hill type silver-lead-zinc - occur within the high-grade metamorphic rocks of the Eastern Fold Belt. Cannington is the major example, but several smaller currently sub-economic deposits are known. · Gold is primarily found associated with copper within the IOCG deposits of the Eastern Fold Belt. However, a significant exception is noted at Tick Hill where high grade gold mineralisation was produced, between 1991 and 1995 by Carpentaria Gold Pty Ltd, some 700 000 tonnes of ore was mined at an average grade of 22.5 g/t Au, producing 15 900 kg Au. The Tick Hill deposit style is poorly understood (Withnall & Cranfield, 2013). · ROM Resources had noted in a series of recent reports for CCZ on the granted tenures, that cover the known mineralisation styles including: · Stratabound copper mineralisation within ferruginous sandstones and siltstones of the Surprise Creek Formation. · Disseminated copper associated with trachyte dykes. · Copper-rich iron stones (possible IOCG) in E-W fault zones; and · possible Mississippi Valley Type ("MVT") stockwork sulphide mineralisation carrying anomalous copper-lead-zinc and silver. · The Mt Oxide and Mt Gordon occurrences are thought to be breccia and replacement zones with interconnecting faults. The Mt Gordon/Mammoth deposit is hosted by brittle quartzites, and Esperanza by carbonaceous shales. Mineralisation has been related to the Isan Orogeny (1,590 - 1,500 Ma). · Mineralisation at all deposits is primarily chalcopyrite-pyrite-chalcocite, typically as massive sulphide within breccias. · At the Big One prospect, West Australian Metals NL described the mineralisation as (as sourced from the document "West Australian Metals NL, 1994. Drill Programme at the "Big One" Copper Deposit, North Queensland for West Australian Metals NL."): · The targeted lode / mineralised dyke is observable on the surface. The mineralisation targeted in the 1993 drilling programmed is a supergene copper mineralisation that includes malachite, azurite, cuprite, and tenorite, all associated with a NE trending fault (062o to 242o) that is intruded by a porphyry dyke. · The mineralised porphyry dyke is vertical to near vertical (85o), with the 'true width' dimensions reaching up to 7m at surface. · At least 600m in strike length, with strong Malachite staining observed along the entire strike length, with historical open pits having targeted approximately 200m of this strike. Exact depth of mining below the original ground surface is not clear in the historical documents, given the pits are not battered it is anticipated that excavations have reached 5m to 10m beneath the original ground surface. · Associated with the porphyry dyke are zones of fractured and/or sheared rock, the siltstones are described as brecciated, and sandstones around the shear as carbonaceous. · The known mineralisation from the exploration activities to date had identified shallow supergene mineralisation, with a few drillholes targeting deeper mineralisation in and around the 200m of strike historical open cut pits. · A strongly altered hanging wall that contained malachite and cuprite nodules. Chalcocite mineralization has been identified but it is unclear on the prevalence of the Chalcocite; and · The mineralisation was amenable to high grade open pit mining methods of the oxide mineralization (as indicated by numerous historical open pit shallow workings into the shear zone). · Desktop studies commissioned by CCZ and completed by ROM Resources and SRK Exploration have determined that the Big One prospect is prospective for Cu, Co, and Ag. · Desktop studies commissioned by CCZ have determined the Boomerang prospect contains: o Secondary copper staining over ~800m of strike length. o Associated with a major east-west trending fault that juxtaposes the upper Surprise Creek Formation sediments against both the underlying Bigie Formation and the upper Quilalar Formation units. · At the 'Flapjack' prospect there is the additional potential for: o Skarn mineralisation for Cu-Au and/or Zn-Pb-Cu from replacement carbonate mineralisation, particularly the Quilalar Formation. o Thermal Gold Auroele mineralisation is a potential model due to the high silica alteration in thermal aureole with contact of A-Type Weberra Granite - related to the Au mineralisation; and/or o IOCG mineralisation related to chloride rich fluids. · At the 'Crescent' prospect there is the additional potential for: o Skarn mineralisation for Cu-Au and/or Zn-Pb-Cu from replacement carbonate mineralisation, particularly the Quilalar Formation; and/or o Thermal Gold Auroele mineralisation is a potential model due to the high silica alteration in thermal aureole with contact of A-Type Weberra Granite - related to the Au mineralisation; and o IOCG mineralisation related to potassic rich fluids. · At the 'Arya' prospect there is the additional potential for: o Supergene mineralisation forming at the surface along the fault, fault breccia, and the Surprise Creek Formation 'PLrd' rock unit ('Prd' historical). o Epigenetic replacement mineralisation for Cu (with minor components of other base metals and gold) from replacement carbonate mineralisation, particularly the Surprise Creek Formation. o Skarn mineralisation for Cu-Au and/or Zn-Pb-Cu from replacement carbonate mineralisation, particularly the Surprised Creek Formation. o Sulphide mineralisation within breccia zones, along stress dilation fractures, emplaced within pore spaces, voids, or in other rock fractures; and/or · IOCG mineralisation related to chloride rich fluids. · A selection of publicly available QDEX documents / historical exploration reports have been reviewed, refer to Section 2, sub-section "Further Work" for both actions in progress and proposed future actions. · The SRK Independent Geologists Report released by CCZ on the ASX on 28-July-2020 contains further details on the 'Geology - Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation': this report is formally titled "A Competent Persons Report on the Mineral Assets of Castillo Copper Limited" Prepared as part of the Castillo Copper Limited (ASX: CCZ, LSE: CCZ) LSE Prospectus, with the effective date of the 17-July-2020. |
|
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: o easting and northing of the drill hole collar o elevation or RL (Reduced Level - elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the hole o down hole length and interception depth o 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. |
· For the current program, all drillhole information was coded to the same formatted spreadsheets used by CCZ, being hand-encoded from hard-copy reports, plans, and cross-sections. · For CCZ's current drilling program, this information has been recorded in formatted spreadsheets during the drilling and will be checked and verified at the conclusion of the current program. The current reported holes (315-317RC) are listed in Appendix 2, with previous drilling collars listed in the 11TH and 26th July ASX release and in Tables B2-2 and B2-3. · A summary of the holes drilled are given at the end of section B2. |
|
Data aggregation methods |
· In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g., 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. |
· Queries on some assays are currently pending on CCZ's current drilling program. · For historical surface sampling, Independent Laboratory Assay results for soil and rock chip samples from the Big One Deposit were averaged if more than one reading or determination was given. · Copper grades were reported in this ASX release as per the received laboratory report, i.e., there was no cutting of high-grade copper results as they are directly relatable to high grade mineralisation styles readily visible in the relevant samples and modelling has yet not commenced. · There were no cut-off grades factored into any assay results reported, however once modelling commences a high cut-off grade of 10,000ppm or 10% copper will be used. |
|
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'). |
· When available, all mineralised intervals (i.e., >500ppm) have been reported in this and previous ASX releases as the "as-intersected" apparent thickness (in metres) and given that most drillholes dip at -60 to -70 degrees from the horizontal, true intersection widths will be calculated during the block modelling process. |
|
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. |
· This part will be done once CCZ's current drilling program is completed, and all samples have been assayed and verified. · Appropriate diagrams are presented in the body and the Appendices of the current ASX Release. Where scales are absent from the diagram, grids have been included and clearly labelled to act as a scale for distance. · Maps and Plans presented in the current ASX Release are in MGA94 Zone 54, Eastings (mE), and Northing (mN), unless clearly labelled otherwise. · A series of cross-sections have been generated at Big One displaying copper analyses in ppm to aid interpretation and exploration planning (in previous ASX releases in July and August 2021) |
|
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 avoiding misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
· Comprehensive reporting is planned once CCZ's current drilling program has all sample queries returned and have been verified. · Appropriate diagrams are presented in the body and the Appendices of the current ASX Release. Where scales are absent from the diagram, grids have been included and clearly labelled to act as a scale for distance. · A complete comparison of visual mineralisation estimated by the site geologist is given in Tables B2-6 through to B2-8 at the end of the next section. All intersected intervals are apparent thicknesses in metres. |
|
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. |
· Several airborne EM and magnetic surveys have been conducted nearby by historical explorers and Castillo Copper has conducted its own surface sampling program prior to drilling commencing as noted above. A major IP survey was completed during May 2021 across five (5) north-east trending survey lines (dipole-dipole array). Historical work has focussed on drilling and geochemical sampling, with no detailed geophysical data collection. The copper intersected to date appears to be associated with a NE-SW trending dyke. It occurs in two zones - oxidised (malachite, azurite, tenorite, cuprite) and chalcocite. The aim of the IP survey was to ascertain if the copper mineralisation intersected to date has a discernible electrical response (chargeable and / or conductive). If so, it is hoped that other zones of similar electrical response can be highlighted to better focus the upcoming drill program. As a result of the evaluation of data from the IP surveys carried out, the following recommendations are made: · The 2D section models are likely to give the most accurate representation of the earth's conductivity and chargeability variations and should be used when drill targeting. The 3D model output allows trends and structures to be mapped and may give some indications of off-line anomalies. · Treat anomalies on the edge of lines (and at depth) with caution. Although care was taken to remove spurious data, some edge effects may persist in the data. Before testing any anomalies, GeoDiscovery can check the raw data to verify if a particular anomaly likely to be real. · 50m DP-DP is shown to be a cost-effective method to cover ground relatively quickly and map the electrical properties of the top 150m or so. If drill testing the regions of elevated chargeability proves successful, a larger 100m DP-DP or P-DP campaign may be considered to cover more ground and to greater depth. · Incorporate the 3D and 2D IP models into the available geological database to determine the extent to which the chargeable zones may or may not have been tested, as well as their geological / stratigraphic significance. · It is recommended that where IP anomalies occur near surface, a field visit is undertaken to see if anomaly can be explained by surficial clays / lithology. |
|
Further work |
· The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g., 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. |
· Future potential work is described within the body of the ASX Release, and will include: · Detailed mapping and rock chip sampling. · Surface gravity and magnetic surveys, and potentially downhole EM surveys. · Diamond Coring. · Block modelling and wireframing. · Resource Estimation.

GEOLOGICAL AND ASSAY SAMPLING OVERVIEW (SECTION 2 CONTINUED)
Drilling program
The 2021 drilling program concluded in late August 2021 comprised 20 RC drill-holes (including one pre-collar) for 2,632m and one partial HQ diameter diamond-cored for 32m. Most drill-holes were downhole geophysically logged with deviation, caliper, natural gamma - several had acoustic scanner tools run. Notably, around 25% of the drill-holes collapsed resulting in variable down-hole, while the ground around the dyke is quite fractured and jointed.
Drill-holes 315-318RC, 326RC, 327RC, 333RC, and 334DD had significant mineralisation (see Figure A2-1) and extended the underlying system. The best, deepest, mineralisation was BO_318RC with 16m (apparent) from 166 to 182m @0.59% Cu, including 3m from 176-179m @ 1.76% Cu.
However, for the drill-holes designed to test the halo on the southern part of the strike extent, which did not intersect the dyke, the results were moderate with under 500ppm Cu recorded.

Ground & drone survey
The surveyor (GMC Surveys) completed surveying all forty 2020 and 2021 drill-hole collars (Tables A2-1 and A2-2). Average errors compared to the handheld GPS readings taken whilst each hole was drilled were negligible at ±0.7m in X and Y.
In addition, the surveyor picked up six of the 1993 drill-hole collars where there was still casing evident: these needing rehabilitation. The average error compared to the geo-referenced 1993 coordinates (from a hard copy plan) were about ±12m in X and Y. The detailed drone and ground survey, including building a PSM at Big One Deposit, established the QLD 1 Sec DEM topography model was on average 3.40m too high at the drillhole collars. Further, co-ordinates of unrehabilitated historical drill-holes were taken.

Stockpile sampling
Twelve separate stockpile samples, covered by the drone survey, were mapped and sampled (Figure A2-2) enabling accurate volumes to be estimated. All historical stockpiles originated from Pits 1-3 and were mostly comprised of mineralised reject material (cupriferous dyke and quartzite) from the 1990's mining operations.
Initial XRF readings on some indicated high copper (highest 3.84%). All twelve separate stockpiles were grab sampled at regular spacings across the base of each stockpile, with multiple samples collected across each stockpile. Samples were dispatched to the laboratory late August, with some of the resultant assay results returning high-grade values exceeding 3% Cu (Figure A2-3). In addition, elevated results for silver, cobalt and chromium were returned.

Next drillhole sites pegged and surface sampled
Another twenty-two sites have been identified for drilling (focused on the northern portion of the strike extent) and will require key approvals, track, and pad clearing. The geology team took rock-chips samples (see Figure A2-4 and Table A2-4) which comprised elevated copper readings.
Additional mapping areas defined
Based on the rock chip database which includes historic sampling, IP lines, proposed borehole sites, and stockpiles, four areas for a detailed sampling grid have been identified (see Figure A2-5).

IP survey line sampling
These have been completed, with XRF results available for all lines and laboratory assays for three lines. Samples were taken at every 25m survey peg, and whilst most pXRF results were <30ppm Cu, several copper anomalies were found along some lines. Selected samples were sent for laboratory assay, with the results below in Table A2-3.

Sample assay review
Drill-holes BO_315, 316, 317, 318, 326, 327 and 333RC have been the standout results for the second drilling campaign, with moderate mineralisation observed in BO_323RC, 324RC, 325RC, and 334DD. Assay results from the cored section of BO_334DD only revealed 1m of copper mineralisation at the top of the dyke.
Analysing assay data has shown the porphyritic dacite dyke can be characterised by high chromium and lithium laboratory assay levels compared to background (up to six times for Cr and ten times for Li).
Results for major copper mineralisation of 20 holes completed have now been received from the laboratory, as summarised in Table A2-5.
The major dyke and halo intersections are listed in Table A2-6 below, followed by Table A2-7, which documents the qualitative assessment of mineral ranges present for drill-holes from the geologist's logs.

Notes:
1. Samples have been taken at 1m intervals (refer to Figure A2-10).
2. Mineralisation estimated from field geologists rock chip estimates.
3. True vertical depths will be calculated by Minescape block model procedures.
4. A zone of limited mineralisation inferred to be associated with the dyke was intersected in each deepened drill hole.
