Alchemy secures key Karonie gold project

High-grade targets in one of Australia's premier gold provinces

  • Alchemy has secured 40km strike of highly prospective Archean gold belt in the Eastern Goldfields region, Western Australia

  • Karonie Project (Alchemy 100%) comprises three exploration licence applications surrounding and adjacent to Silver Lake Resources' (ASX: SLR) Harry's Hill / French Kiss gold resource areas and along strike from Breaker Resources' (ASX: BRB) Lake Roe Project

  • High-quality geological setting - surrounding and along strike from gold deposits in a setting with camp-scale gold targeting vectors (structural setting, hydrothermal alteration, pathfinder geochemistry)

  • Initial review of historic wide-spaced, first-pass RC drilling indicates

    high-grade gold bedrock intercepts1 at multiple prospects:

    • Batavia 2m at 12.06 g/t gold (from 182m) in ISRC1001 1m at 39.07 g/t gold (from 121m) in ISRC1003 8m at 3.30 g/t gold (from 128m) in ISRC1063

    • Challenger 10m at 1.46 g/t gold (from 128m) in ISRC1035

    • Little Peck- 5m at 2.86g/t gold (from 101m) in LPRC005

      Esplanade 1m at 21.35g/t gold (from 133m) in LPRC018

  • High-grade intercepts within four gold anomalous trends - Little Peck- Esplanade (4km strike length), Admiral (6km), Batavia (6km) and Challenger (8km) - outlined by historic shallow drilling2

  • KZ5 prospect has gold and base metal anomalism over 1 kilometre strike length outlined by broad-spaced drilling and with untested IP and EM anomalies3

  • Significant upside potential and high priority targets identified

  • Systematic exploration of priority targets to commence upon grant following completion of access agreements and statutory approvals

Alchemy Resources Ltd (ASX: ALY; "Alchemy" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has secured 100% interest in over 40km strike of highly prospective Archean greenstone belt in the Eastern Goldfields in Western Australia (Figure 1). The Karonie Project, located 100km east of Kalgoorlie, comprises three exploration licence applications totally over 230km2 surrounding and adjacent to Silver Lake Resources' (ASX: SLR) Harry's Hill and French Kiss resource areas and along strike from Breaker Resources' (ASX: BRB) Lake Roe gold project.

The Karonie Project is strategically located close to existing processing plants, and given the already substantial gold endowment in the area (>470,000 oz gold - see SLR ASX announcement dated 28 August 2015), Alchemy will focus its near-term exploration efforts to the discovery of additional high-grade gold mineralisation. The Project licence applications surround Silver Lake Resources' Harry's Hill deposit with a Probable Reserve of 1.13Mt at 2.4g/t gold for 86,000 oz gold and scheduled for production from FY19 ( see SLR Presentation to Melbourne Mining Club dated 15 March 2016).

The Karonie Project is along strike from Breaker Resources' Lake Roe Project where a new 6km-long gold anomalous zone has been delineated through shallow drilling with initial RC drilling returning high-grade gold assays to over 20g/t gold (see BRB ASX Announcement dated 18 April 2016 and BRB Presentation to RIU Resources Round Up dated 11 May 2016).

Alchemy's Chairman Oscar Aamodt said, "The Karonie Project provides a key opportunity for Alchemy and following grant of the licences we will seek to advance priority targets through extensional drilling with the expectation of extending the scope of these targets and increasing the potential for a high grade resource. The Project is in one of Australia's premier gold provinces with significant potential for multiple discoveries."

Overview of the Karonie Project

The Karonie Project contains more than 40km of strike extent of Archean greenstone belt in the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane, and is prospective for high-grade Orogenic gold and volcanic massive-sulphide (VMS)-style base metal deposits. The Project has a high-quality geological setting, strategically located

between major, regional-scale fault zones, the Keith-Kilkenny and Claypan Faults (Figure 2). The fault zones are interpreted to be deep-seated, domain-bounding structures within the highly gold-endowed Kurnalpi Terrane, and in a position which hosts the world-class Karari-Carosue Dam gold deposits 75km to the north.

The Karonie Project has seen exploration carried out in various phases since the 1980's, with supergene gold mined from Karonie Main Zone-Harry's Hill (excised from the project area: Figure 2) by Freeport McMoran Ltd and Poseidon Gold Ltd between 1987 and 1992 producing 1.593Mt at 3.67g/t gold.

Review of historic exploration to date indicates that the Karonie Project is located surrounding and along strike from gold deposits in a geological setting with camp-scale gold targeting vectors, including structural setting, evidence for zones of hydrothermal alteration and anomalous pathfinder geochemistry. Previous explorer, Integra Mining Limited, undertook a collaborative research project with the CSIRO that identified a 10km long major fault and fluid conduit zone that was interpreted to have been active during the major gold event in the region.

Historic reconnaissance, shallow rotary air blast and aircore drilling has outlined a series of >4km strike length gold anomalous trends, including Little Peck-Esplanade, Admiral, Batavia and Challenger in the southern half of the Project area (see ASX announcements by ReLode Mining Limited/Integra Mining Limited dated 4 May 2004, 5 August 2004, 18 January 2011 and 21 February 2012). The shallow drilling also indicates that the Project area has a complex regolith with a stripped Archean profile overlain by reworked sediments, wind-blown sands and paleo-drainage channels and salt lakes. Consequently, the shallow cover is very complex and areas with shallow gold anomalism require deeper RC drilling to adequately test identified targets.

Initial review of historic, wide-spaced, first pass RC drilling, undertaken to drill test some of the targets delineated by the shallow drilling, indicates numerous high-grade gold intercepts in bedrock at multiple prospects (see ASX announcements by Integra Mining Limited dated 28 January 2005, 27 April 2006, 18

September 2012 and 17 December 2012), including:

Batavia 2m at 12.06 g/t gold (from 182m) in ISRC1001 1m at 39.07 g/t gold (from 121m) in ISRC1003 8m at 3.30 g/t gold (from 128m) in ISRC1063

Challenger 10m at 1.46 g/t gold (from 128m) in ISRC1035 Little Peck- 5m at 2.86g/t gold (from 101m) in LPRC005 Esplanade 1m at 21.35g/t gold (from 133m) in LPRC018

Gold mineralisation at Batavia and Challenger prospects is associated with quartz veining and/or elevated pyrite±pyrrhotite contents in hydrothermally altered felsic/intermediate sediments and volcanics and mafic porphyritic basalts (see ASX announcements by Integra Mining Limited dated 18 September 2012, 17 December 2012). The Batavia and Challenger targets contain broad gold anomalism, alteration assemblages and structural complexity over strikes of 700m and 400m, respectively.

The KZ5 prospect at the northern end of the Karonie Project has gold and base metal anomalism over a strike extent of 1.2km, outlined by broad-spaced drilling, and with untested IP and EM anomalies (see ASX announcements by Integra Mining Limited dated 16 January 2007, 27 July 2007 and 14 October 2009). The mineralisation is VMS-style and associated with felsic volcanic flows and fine-grained sediments inter-bedded with laminated exhalative sulfides. Historic drilling has returned gold-zinc intercepts, including:

KZ5 20m at 1.58 g/t gold (from 190m) and 14m at 0.44% zinc (from 202m) in KZRC040D 26m at 0.74 g/t gold, 0.36% zinc (from 140m) in KZRC039

12m at 1.37 g/t gold, 0.71% zinc (from 42m) in KZD001.

Proposed Near-Term Exploration Activities

Alchemy is currently reviewing the historic exploration data and planning future exploration programs while the Company negotiates access agreements. A number of high-grade gold intercepts at the Batavia, Challenger and Little Peck-Esplanade prospects and the base metal-gold anomalism at the KZ5 prospect have been identified for further review, with targeted RC drilling once the exploration licences are granted and statutory approvals are in place.
