PO Box 8023, Perth BC, WA 6849 E-mail the editor at editorial@australianminingreview.com.auE strella Resources Limited (ASX: ESR) continues to build on its exciting Carr Boyd nickel project 80km, north of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia, with further promising nickel sulphide intersections. The company recently completed Phase 3 RC drilling as well as diamond drilling at depth at Carr Boyd, one of the string of promising nickel projects under examination in WA. Ten RC holes were drilled above the recent T5 Discovery Zone to close off mineralisation above an interpreted fault intersected in previous drilling. Most of the holes intersected sulphides on or just above the basal contact. CBP048 intersected 4.0m of semi-massive sulphides (50%) with visual pentlandite and chalcopyrite. Managing Director, Chris Daws, said the company believes that this is the very upper edge of the T5 mineralisation that has been fault-offset 80m to the west. He said the plunge direction above the fault appears to mirror that of the T5 Discovery mineralisation and strongly suggests (along with previous Phase 3 drilling) that the real potential lies at depth where the sulphide accumulations appear to be thickening. Core studies showed this potential to increase in a direction perpendicular to the shallow, south plunge of mineralisation. “I, along with the board and management, are pleased that the highly successful Phase 3 drilling has now been completed,” Mr K aiser Reef Limited is undertaking a capital raising programme to raise approximately A$5.1 million to develop the Queens Lode gold deposit at the A1 Mine and to drill test the high-grade Maldon Goldfield in Victoria. The drilling at the A1 Mine has nearly been completed and a second diamond drilling rig will be mobilised to Maldon in approximately two weeks. Under the Placement, the company will raise A$2 million and issue a total of 10 million new Shares to sophisticated and professional investors at A$0.20 per share. Westar Capital Limited is acting as Lead Manager to the Placement. The company also intends to conduct a pro- rata non-renounceable Rights Issue to raise up to A$3,122,472. The company has entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Westar Capital Limited to act as the underwriter to the Rights Issue. The Maldon Goldfield is located within the central portion of the Bendigo-Ballarat zone of the Lachlan Fold Belt. During the Daws said. “This programme was instrumental, not only in intersecting further nickel sulphides, but also in providing the company valuable knowledge about the controls on the mineralised zone. “Phase 4 is set to commence shortly with the objective of conducting step-out drilling to improve Estrella’s understanding of the project’s potential scale as well as identify additional areas of interest which may contain further Carr Boyd style opportunities. “This is an exciting stage in Estrella’s exploration program at Carr Boyd and I look forward to updating the market as we progress with Phase 4 in further unlocking a world-class, high quality nickel sulphide resource.” Seismic Targets Diamond hole CBDD052 targeted a Priority 1 Seismic Survey Anomaly which arose out of a “Point Source Anomaly” of very high acoustic impedance. This type of anomaly is potentially generated by massive sulphides and lies upon an arc perpendicular to the seismic line. This anomaly has the potential of being generated from the nearby Carr Boyd pipes- style mineralisation. As such, CBDD052 targeted the arc where it intersects the T5 Basal Contact as this is postulated as the most prospective geological target area. acquisition of the A1 gold mine, Kaiser Reef also acquired the Maldon Goldfield Project and subsequently owns the Union Hill Mine (care and maintenance) and Nuggety Mine (historic) at Maldon. Historic production within the Maldon goldfield is recorded to be in excess of 1,700,000 ounces of gold @ 28 g/t gold. The Maldon goldfield is also home to Australia's highest grade gold mine, the Nuggety Reef that produced 301,000 ounces of gold @ 187 g/t gold. The company intends to conduct extensive exploration during 2021 with the intent to re-enter production upon delineation of sufficient resources and reserves to support The Basal Contact was hit without the hole intersecting an obvious seismic anomaly. However, the T5 Pyroxenite at depth on the contact was mineralised with rip-up clasts containing nickel-sulphides. Mr Daws said the company interprets that massive sulphides likely formed at depth on the contact. However, just prior to solidification of the magma, crystal growth and settling enabled the cooling melt to scour the contact clean and remobilise sulphides further “downstream”. This was discovered in the close-spaced Phase 3 drilling, particularly at the leading edge of the T5 mineralisation where similar scouring was identified. The remaining seismic targets will be addressed by further exploration drilling in due-course. However, the T5 mineralisation and Basal Contact (where the vast majority of economic Intrusive-style nickel is found) remains the priority for Phase 4. Holes will be set aside in Phase 5 to test the extensive seismic targets. Downhole Targets Downhole Electromagnetics (DHEM) was performed on CBDD052 leading to the generation of off-hole anomalies relating to the known Carr Boyd mine. A large anomaly (300m x 300m off-hole DTEM plate) below and to the north was identified which the company believes is either related to a footwall sedimentary sequence or potentially an embayment a recommencement of mining if successful. The A1 Gold Mine is one of the premier Victorian Goldmines. Running since 1861 the mine has historically averaged 25g/t gold production. In January 2021, Kaiser acquired 100% of Centennial Mining Ltd and therefore a 100% interest in Centennial assets; A1 gold mine, Maldon goldfield (care and maintenance) and the Maldon processing plant which treats A1 ore. The A1 gold mine was discovered in 1861 at an outcrop known as Castle Reef and underground mining accessed by two shafts continued until 1992. Historical records or trap-site of massive sulphides that lies below the basal contact. The company has completed a pre-collar and will test the large off-hole DHTEM plate and basal contact area at depth shortly with CBDD056. Deep Diamond Hole CBDD056 CBDD056 will be drilled to test the T5 Basal Contact 200m to the north of the CBDD052 position where sulphides may have accumulated on the contact. This position also coincides with the projected plunge of the T5 Mineralisation. Phase 4 100m North and South Step-out Sections at T5 A series of RC pre-collared DHEM platform holes and wedged daughter holes are being collared to enable the company to incrementally grow the T5 mineralised zone. The close-spaced Phase 3 drilling enabled the Company to understand the many controls on mineralisation and also the variable DHEM responses generated from known mineralisation which failed to give an EM anomaly. These learnings and drill techniques will be used to increase the size of the T5 Zone in combination with additional DHEM and the Seismic Survey so as to accurately target the Basal Contact, known plunge direction and also test for further, parallel lodes generated by the perpendicular flow direction. The RC portion of this phase has already commenced and the diamond tails and DHEM will be completed after the drilling of CBDD056. AMR show total production of approximately 620,000 ounces of gold. The A1 Gold Mine is located within a north- west trending belt of tightly folded Early Devonian sedimentary rocks. Mineralisation at the A1 Gold Mine is hosted within, or immediately adjacent to diorite dykes. Ongoing mining is conducted using air-leg mining techniques targeting the high-grade (+10 g/t Au) ore. The intent is to expand into mechanised mining upon completion of successful underground exploration to delineate increased resources and reserves to support the operation expansion. AMR Estrella Continues To Build Carr Boyd Nickel Excitement Estrella continues to hit promising nickel intersections at Carr Boyd. Kaiser Reef has built a Queens Lode exploration war chest. Kaiser Reef Chasing High-Grade Crown at Queens Lode OCT2021 AMR News4News5 AMR OCT2021K ingwest Resources Limited has revealed its first high-grade underground MRE at Yunndaga as well as an updated Mineral Resource Estimate’s (MRE’s) at the Menzies Gold Project (MGP). The MGP is located approximately 130km north of Kalgoorlie and is well serviced by infrastructure and within trucking distances of numerous treatment plants. Highlights: • New Yunndaga underground JORC Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 57,000 oz @ 4.6 g/t Au (3.0 g/t Au cut off, fresh rock only) or 79,200 oz @ 3.7g/t Au (2.0 g/t Au cut off, fresh rock only) • An 384% increase on March Yunndaga 2021 MRE (using 3.0 g/t Au cut off) • Resource open at depth and to the north • Total MRE’s at Menzies increased to 475,100 oz @ 1.4 g/t from 446,200 oz @ 1.3 g/t1 (0.5 g/t cut off) • New Yunndaga MRE allows KWR to consider various commercial underground mining options, including profit share or toll-treatment “We are very pleased to complete a maiden high-grade underground MRE at Menzies. The Yunndaga deposit is more amenable to underground mining than open cut mining given the current pit extends to 120 metres depth already and the ramp to the bottom of the pit gives excellent access for a portal and decline,” CEO Ed Turner said. “The MRE is constrained by the depth of current drilling from surface, which only extends approximately 100 metres below the current pit, so the potential to add additional resource ounces with deeper drilling from underground is high. “The Princess May Shoot, which is part of the Yunndaga System, has historic workings down to 600 vertical metres so there is a good chance other shoots within the system also extend to significant depths below the MRE defined here.” The MGP is one of Western Australia’s major historic gold fields. Located 130km north of the globally significant gold deposits of Kalgoorlie. The MGP covers a contiguous land package over a strike length in excess of 15km. Within the MGP a series of structurally controlled high-grade gold deposits have been historically mined and display extensive exploration potential for high- grade extensions. Modern exploration since closure over 20 years ago has been limited. The MGP has recorded historical production of 643,200 oz @ 22.5g/t Au2 from underground (U/G) between 1895 and 1943 plus 145,000 oz @ 2.6g/t Au2 open cut between 1995 and 1999, for a total of 787,200 oz @ 18.9g/t2 Au. The MGP is hosted along the Menzies Shear Zone. All deposits lie within granted Mining Leases and are 100% owned by KWR. Current mineral resources total 475,100 oz @ 1.35 g/t Au using a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off or 346,100 oz @ 2.06 g/t Au using a 1.0 g/t Au cut-off. Importantly the MGP lies on the Goldfields Highway, has power and water and is within trucking distance of numerous Gold Processing Plants. The Goongarrie Gold Project (GGP) is located approximately 40km south of the MGP and 90km north of Kalgoorlie. It is a contiguous land package covering approximately 125 square km over a strike length in excess of 25km. Within the GGP a series of structurally controlled high-grade gold deposits have been historically mined and these display potential for high-grade extensions. Modern exploration since closure of the mines over 20 years ago has been limited. The GGP sits within the Bardoc Tectonic Zone (BTZ) which extends south to Kalgoorlie and north to Menzies. All resources lie within granted Mining Leases and are 100% owned by KWR. Importantly the GGP lies only 90km north of Kalgoorlie on the Goldfields Highway and is within trucking distance of numerous Gold Processing Plants. Kingwest has so far delineated 10 main target areas that require drill testing and five of these have undergone first pass testing to date. First pass aircore drilling in February returned stellar gold intersections within Target A9 including 6m @ 17.2 g/t Au from 94m within 38m @ 3.1 g/t Au from 62m in KGA038 to end of hole (blade refusal) and 4m @ 2.5 g/t Au from 74m within 8m @ 1.3 g/t Au from 74m in KGA 039 (adjacent hole, 60m east of KGA038)3. Follow up RC drilling intersected 5m @ 8.31 g/t Au from 73m and 3m @ 4.08 g/t Au from 89m in KGR001 as well as 5m @ 3.60 g/t Au from 45m in KGR0074. These lie along strike from Ardea Resources discovery immediately south of KWR’s tenement boundary as well as 7km north of Bardoc Gold’s 1.7M oz Aphrodite deposit. An inaugural 5,638 metre track mounted aircore drilling program of targets A1, A2, A3 and A10 under Lake Goongarrie has just been completed. AMR Kingwest Unveils High-Grade Menzies Underground JORC Resource Nexus Makes New High-Grade Gold Discovery at Templar The sun is shining on Kingwest’s Menzies project. N exus Minerals Limited (ASX: NXM) has obtained high-grade assay results from 13 reverse circulation (RC) holes drilled at the Templar Prospect, within the company’s Wallbrook gold project in the eastern goldfields of Western Australia. Managing Director, Andy Tudor, said these broad high-grade results received from Templar occur in the same altered and mineralised rocks we see at the Crusader prospect, 1.2km to the south. “This has effectively linked the two prospects together into one large mineralised system. Nexus is the first company to drill the Templar prospect and we are very proud of the work our exploration team has contributed leading to this discovery.” Templar Prospect The Nexus 2021 RC and diamond drill programs at Templar were designed to follow up mineralisation intersected in previous shallow aircore drill campaigns undertaken by Nexus. Gold mineralisation at the Templar Prospect is the same as that observed at the Crusader Prospect (1.2km to the south) – being a quartz-goethite supergene stockwork in the oxide regolith profile. The stockwork intensity correlates closely with higher gold grades. In the fresh rock, high-grade mineralisation occurs within a series of steeply dipping structures defined by quartz sulphide veining of a potassic altered quartz porphyry unit within a volcaniclastic host rock. The holes drilled tested the zone from surface to a depth of 300m, with every one of the thirteen RC drill holes completed in this program intersecting mineralisation. The gold mineralisation tenor and widths observed to date mirror that of the Crusader Prospect, with broad lower grade mineralisation in the shallower levels 100m (10m @ 5.64g/t Au, within 23m @ 2.85g/t Au from 132m). Future drill programmes at Templar will test for depth extensions to the mineralisation, as well as testing for further strike extensions to the Crusader / Templar mineralised corridor that currently extends over 1.6km of strike, constrained only by the extent of drilling completed by Nexus to date.

The forecasts for dramatic EV and rechargeable battery demand growth has created a major boost in interest and prices for a range of “critical minerals” that have been linked with the EV future. According to international analysts Global Data, influencer conversations related to metals tied to EVs rose over 400% during the first half of the year in comparison to the previous seven months. That “gold rush” style demand for a number of critical minerals has also raised concerns about their future availability and whether their rising cost will significantly affect the viability of the average EV. One of the metals that has benefitted significantly is nickel. After languishing for a number of years, nickel is now being highly sort after by EV and rechargeable battery specialists from across the globe – and Australian nickel is at the forefront of race to sign up future supplies. In recent months a number of significant deals have been signed that will see Australian nickel play a key role in future battery technology development. One of the local producers welcoming this new surge in demand is BHP which hassigned a nickel supply agreement with electric vehicle pioneer Tesla Inc. BHP Chief Commercial Officer, Vandita Pant, said BHP will supply Tesla Inc. with nickel from its Nickel West asset in Western Australia, one of the most sustainable and lowest carbon emission nickel producers in the world. Tesla Inc. is the world’s largest manufacturer of electric vehicles and battery storage systems with a mission to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy, and nickel is a key metal used to manufacture Tesla Inc.’s battery technology. “Demand for nickel in batteries is estimated to grow by over 500 per cent over the next decade, in large part to support the world’s rising demand for electric vehicles,” Ms Pant said, “We are delighted to sign this agreement with Tesla Inc., and to collaborate with them on ways to make the battery supply chain more sustainable through our shared focus on technology and innovation.” Ms Pant said that in addition to the supply agreement, BHP and Tesla Inc. will collaborate on ways to make the battery supply chain more sustainable, with a focus on end-to-end raw material traceability using blockchain; technical exchange for battery raw materials production; and promotion of the importance of sustainability in the resources sector, including identifying partners who are most aligned with BHP and Tesla Inc.’s principles and battery value chains. BHP will also collaborate with Tesla Inc. on energy storage solutions to identify opportunities to lower carbon emissions in their respective operations through increased use of renewable energy paired with battery storage. “BHP produces some of the lowest carbon intensity nickel in the world, and we are on the pathway to net zero at our operations. Sustainable, reliable production of quality nickel will be essential to meeting demand from sustainable energy producers like Tesla Inc.,” BHP Minerals Australia President, Edgar Basto, said. “The investments we have made in our assets and our pursuit of commodities like nickel will help support global decarbonisation and position us to generate long-term value for our business.” Another local operation that has won over an international new energy leader is Australian Mines Limited, which recently entered into a binding long form offtake agreement with South Korea’s LG Energy Solution for mixed nickel-cobalt hydroxide sourced from its Sconi Project in North Queensland. LG Energy Solution (LGES), a subsidiary of LG Chem, is the world’s largest producer of advanced batteries for the electric vehicle industry. During the initial term of the Offtake Agreement, LG Energy Solutions will purchase 71,000 dry metric tonnes of nickel and 7,000 dry metric tonnes of cobalt in the form of a mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP). Australian Nickel Helping To Drive Global EV Take-Up Nickel is considered vital to the future of Electric Vehicles.
