Fairholme Drilling to Commence

Targeting Priority IP Anomalies

Highlights

HPX Typhoon IP system identified large (2.7km x 1.2km), complex induced polarisation anomaly cluster

Fairholme JV approves 3 hole 2300m drill program to test top 3 chargeable parts of the anomaly cluster over 1.6km of strike

Individual anomalies represent attractive copper-gold porphyry targets

Program fully funded by JV Partner Kaizen Discovery Inc

New Frontiers Co-operative Drilling funding of up to $198,750 will be provided by the NSW State government to partially fund the program

Drilling expected to be completed in January 2015 with results later in Q1 2015

Clancy Exploration Limited (ASX: CLY) is pleased to announce that Diamond drilling of high priority Induced Polarisation (IP) targets at Fairholme will commence in early December. A three hole, 2300m Diamond drill program will test three of the top five chargeable IP targets defined by the High Power Exploration (HPX) Typhoon IP system at the Fairholme project (EL6552 & EL6915). The aim of the program is to locate an economic porphyry Cu-Au system. Drilling is due to commence in early December 2014, once all statutory approvals are received.

CLY Managing Director, Mr Gordon Barnes, said "This will be the first significant test of the Fairholme mineral system in over 13 years, since the target was identified by Clancy, and it represents the culmination of 18 months of sustained exploration effort by the joint venture team. Drilling is likely to conclude in January 2015, with assay results to follow."
The combined data from the 2013 gradient array and 2014 3D IP survey have detected anomalies under the extensive conductive clay cover sequences (Figure 1). The three targets to be tested are within a broader
>3.5 mv/V chargeability shell which is 2.7 km long and 1.2 km wide at 450m depth. The amplitude of the
anomalies is suppressed due to signal loss in the conductive cover sequences. However, petrophysical testing of Diamond core has shown that the chargeable bodies may represent disseminated or vein-hosted sulphide and iron-oxide mineral accumulations. The southern part of the large chargeability shell coincides with a prominent magnetic anomaly at Dungarvan and with the >500 ppm maximum-in-hole copper contour from historic air core drilling.
The individual targets to be tested lie adjacent to, and along strike of, the Dungarvan Cu-Au porphyry prospect. Each hole is proposed to be 700 to 800m deep including a 100m pre-collar, and will test 1.6 km of strike length of the system (Figure 1). None of the targets has been drilled previously. The anomalies lie within a structurally favourable NW-trending corridor which is thought to represent a zone of dilation which localised porphyry intrusions and Cu-Au mineralisation. New Frontiers Co-operative Drilling funding of up to
$198,750 will be provided by the NSW State government to partially fund the program.

Anomaly 3 is the highest priority target and will be tested first (Figure 2). Anomaly 3 is a >5 mv/V chargeability anomaly with an approximate diameter of 440m at 450m depth. The target lies on the inferred northern edge of the NW-striking Dungarvan Diorite and is a magnetic high at depth. The margin is inferred

to be a contact between the country rocks of basaltic-andesitic composition, and therefore interpreted as a rheological/structural boundary favourable to host mineralisation. Minimal historic shallow drilling has been completed in the vicinity of the anomaly.

Anomaly 1 is the second priority drill target (Figure 3). Anomaly 1 is a >5.5mv/V elliptical chargeable anomaly with the dimensions 270m by 520m at 450 m depth. The anomaly lies between two steeply north-dipping bodies and is inferred to be sub-perpendicular to the stratigraphy. Minimal historic shallow drilling has been completed in the vicinity of the anomaly.

Anomaly 5 is the third priority drill target (Figure 4). This anomaly is a 4 mv/V chargeability anomaly 220m wide at 500m depth and lies on the northern side of the Dungarvan Diorite. Historical moderate (~200m)

and deep drilling (~600m) has located Cu-Au mineralisation on the southern side of the diorite. A strong magnetic anomaly coincides with the peak of the chargeability anomaly and presents an attractive drill target.

About Fairholme

The Fairholme project is located 12km north of the Cowal gold mine in central NSW. The project consists of two tenements, EL6552 and EL6915 that cover 172km2 of the Fairholme Igneous Complex, part of the Macquarie Arc that hosts porphyry copper-gold deposits at Cadia and Northparkes. The geophysical characteristics of the Fairholme Igneous Complex are similar to the Cowal Complex to the south, which hosts the Cowal gold mine (Barrick) and the Marsden copper-gold prospect (Newcrest). Fairholme is a joint venture between Clancy Exploration Limited (51%) and Kaizen Discovery Inc. (TSX.V: KZD; 49%, earning 65% and funding 100%).
