Management Comment
Mr. Mark English, Managing Director:
“The anomalous core to the Fugitive Prospect extends over 700m length and we
don’t know to what depth – still too early to say whether there’s something big under
there but lots of encouragement. To add to that, we’ve now opened up a new
target at Anomaly 37”

Mr. John Utley, Technical Director:
“We have defined a mineralised zone within an 80m wide basalt running along the
spine of the Fugitive Prospect. Significantly mineralised intercepts are
commonplace within this unit and while a coherent and potentially economic zone
has been elusive, we’re encouraged by the results to date. There remains substantial
potential for economic mineralisation within the basalt.
Early days at Anomaly 37 where a distinct zone of mineralisation is hosted in
ultramafics. We’re particularly keen to get some deeper holes into that
mineralisation beneath a spectacular intercept in an historic hole and to the north
of our drilling.”
The Announcement
Auric Mining Limited (ASX: AWJ) (Auric or the Company) is pleased to announce
that results have been received for an RC program recently completed within the
Spargoville Project, at the Anomaly 37 and Fugitive Prospects.
The holes targeted gold mineralisation beneath prominent auger soil anomalies and
supergene (ie, weathering enriched) gold concentrations defined by aircore and
RAB drilling (Figure 1).
Best results were returned for supergene mineralisation from the Fugitive Prospect

The RC Drill Program
A total of 17 RC holes were drilled for 2497m; 5 holes in the Anomaly 37 Prospect and
12 holes in the Fugitive Prospect. Hole details are recorded in Appendix 1.
The holes were drilled by Kalgoorlie-based Kennedy Drilling and holes sampled at
1m intervals via a cyclone and rig-mounted fixed-cone splitter.
The individual samples were completely pulverised and 40g subsamples analysed
for Au by fire assay at a Bureau Veritas facility in Kalgoorlie.
Refer to Appendix 2, JORC Checklist for further details.
Fugitive Prospect
The Fugitive Prospect lies within Auric’s Spargoville Project centred 4km west of the
Coolgardie-Esperance Highway and 35km southwest of Kambalda. It is outlined by
a large and prominent auger-soil anomaly and was targeted by previous explorers
with RAB, Aircore and shallow RC holes (Figure 2).
A total of 12 RC holes were drilled at Fugitive in the latest program such that Auric
have now drilled a total of 17 RC holes along the approximately 700m strike length
of the Fugitive Prospect at line spacings of between 20m and 100m (Figure 2).
Previous drilling at Fugitive is dominated by drill holes that ended in weathered rock.
Many of the significant assays in the weathered rock are likely to represent a
supergene, ie, weathering enriched and potentially remobilised, component to
gold mineralisation. The supergene gold mineralisation will have a primary (ie, fresh
rock) source and Auric’s drill holes have been drilled to locate and define primary
mineralisation.

A gold mineralised envelope defined by gold concentrations above 0.1g/t Au can
be recognised within fresh basalt in many of the holes (e.g., Figures 3 and 4). This is
a persistent feature, defined within the 70-90m wide basalt unit along the length of
the Fugitive Prospect. There is potential for economic concentrations of gold
mineralisation within that envelope.

Anomaly 37 Prospect
The Anomaly 37 Prospect is centred approximately 2km north of the Fugitive
Prospect, within the same tenement (E15/1688). It is also defined by a large and
prominent auger-soil anomaly and was targeted by previous explorers with RAB,
Aircore and shallow RC holes (Figure 5).

The prospect has been described in previous announcements including summaries
of drilling by earlier explorers Ramelius Resources Limited (Ramelius) and Tychean
Resources Limited (Tychean) 1 and by Breakaway Resources Ltd (Breakaway). 2
A small tenement, P15/5912, was recently amalgamated into E15/1688 and 23
historic RAB holes drilled by Breakaway Resources within that tenement have been
incorporated into the prospect dataset.
Hole details and significant intervals for the 23 RAB holes are shown in Appendix 3
and a JORC checklist in Appendix 4.
A number of significant intercepts were recorded by Breakaway, including LFR192;
8m @ 23.12g/t from surface, in turn including1m @ 174g/t Au from 4m. Auric drill hole
ASRC010 was drilled beneath this spectacular intercept (Figure 6).
Five RC holes were drilled in the current program. Hole details are recorded in
Appendix 1. Significant assays at a 0.5 g/t cut-off are recorded in Table 2.

Table 2. Anomaly 37 Significant Assays at 0.5g/t cut-off.
Significant assays at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off all occur within an approximately 120m wide
ultramafic unit, within which a mineralised envelope is defined by gold
concentrations above 0.1g/t Au. The mineralised envelope is most pronounced in
the northern sections and particularly in ASRC010 where it is approximately 35m wide
(true width).

Next Steps
The gold mineralised envelopes defined at the Anomaly 37 and Fugitive Prospects
have the potential to host economically significant deposits.
At Fugitive, the southern half of the prospect, over approximately 470m strike length,
has been sparsely tested by RC drilling at line spacings of between 50m and 100m.
This area has provided some of the best supergene (e.g., 7m @ 4.88g/t Au) and
primary (e.g., 2m @ 10.69g/t Au) drill hole intercepts and will be the focus for the
next phase of RC drilling.
At Anomaly 37, first pass RC drilling shows that mineralisation is open to the north and
that the zone of anomalous mineralisation is particularly wide beneath high grade
historic drill hole LFR192 (8m @ 23.12g/t). Further RC drilling will target mineralisation
in both locations.

Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g.
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.
•
RC drill samples were taken at 1m
intervals via a cyclone and fixed
cone splitter. Samples of nominally
2.5kg were collected in calico bags
and submitted to Bureau Veritas
Minerals in Kalgoorlie. Samples were
pulverised to a nominal 90% passing
75µm. Approximately 200g of the
pulverised product from each
sample is kept.
Include reference to measures taken
to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
•
Samples were analysed for Au via
40g fire assay with AAS for
determination of gold
concentration.

mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.

RC drilling using a face-sampling
hammer with a drill bit (hole)
diameter of approximately 133mm.
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.

Sample recovery is assessed as
having been reasonable overall.
Samples submitted for assay were

•
Drill chips were logged at 1m
intervals corresponding to the

Chips were not photographed but a
small proportion of chips from each
interval have been retained in
compartmentalised chip trays.

samples were dry apart from 11
which were recorded as wet.
•
A duplicate sample was taken with
every 15th sample using a 2nd chute
on the splitter and a pulp standard
was inserted after every 30 samples
such that 10% of samples submitted
for assay are either duplicates or
standards.
Measures taken to maximize 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.
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.
Subsampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all cores
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.

Location of
data points
15 November 2024
•
No adjustment has been made to
assay data
•
Hole collar positions were located
using a hand-held GPS referenced
to MGA-GDA94, Zone 51and are
accurate to within 5m.
•
Downhole surveys were taken by the
drilling contractor using a gyro at
approximately 10m intervals.
•
Collar surveys included an elevation
measurement and are located
within the MGA-GDA94 grid system,
Zone 51
•
17 holes were drilled over several
strike lengths of approx. 80m and
700m within a prominent auger-soil
gold anomaly and intercalated with
historic, generally shallow drill holes.
•
At this exploration stage, the data is
dominated by historic drilling with
insufficient QA to be incorporated
into a resource estimate.
Whether sample compositing has
been applied.
•
No sample compositing
Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to
which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
•
At both prospects, mineralisation is
interpreted to dip steeply, from near
vertical to 75 degrees to the west
such that mineralized intercepts in
drill holes inclined at 60˚ to the east
represent between 50% and 75% of
true width and intercepts in holes
inclined at 60˚ to the west represent
between 26% and 50% of true
widths.
•
Auric personnel were present during
all drilling and sampling and
individual samples were bagged
and sealed in larger polywoven
bags with no opportunity for
tampering.
Accuracy and quality of surveys used
to locate drill holes (collar and downhole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.

tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:
•
Ni has been targeted in ultramafic
units with potential for komatiitehosted Ni-sulphide mineralisation
analogous with deposits in the
Widgiemooltha and Kambalda
areas.
•
In the Fugitive Prospect, Au in fresh
rock occurs within metabasalts and
is associated within thin (<10cm)
quartz veins and generally less than
2% sulphides, predominantly py.
•
In the Anomaly 37 Prospect Au
mineralisation occurs in the
ultramafic with 1% of sulphides in
the form of py. This is associated

aggregatio
n 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.
•
Samples were collected at 1m
intervals and aggregate intervals
incorporate only 1m intervals.
•
Samples were aggregated at a
0.5g/t cut-off with no top-cut
applied
•
Mineralisation widths are between
40% and 70% of down hole
intercept lengths.
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.
