Highlights - Ghana Gold Exploration
Twenty‐Two Gold Targets Identified on Wa Project
Detailed review of exploration data has generated twenty‐two gold exploration targets within Castle's
~10,000km2 Wa Gold Project. These targets are
being ranked for testing primarily using the Company's own drill rig with work proposed to commence at the start of the dry season
Bundi Graphite Discovery
RAB drilling has intersected significant widths of graphitic schist at the Bundi prospect with most holes ending in mineralisation. Significant intercepts include:
25m @ 2.44% TGC from 25m to EOH
26m @ 1.2% TGC from 10m to EOH
17m @ 1.3% TGC from 22m to EOH
10m @ 2.8% TGC from 9m to EOH
15m @ 3.1% TGC from 7m to EOH
This is the first recorded occurrence of graphite in the area. Graphitic schist horizons are present over at least 3km strike with widths up to 100m
The Bundi graphite occurrence is 90km south of Castle's Kambale Graphite deposit that hosts an Inferred Resource of 14.4mt @ 7.2% C (graphitic carbon) for 1.03mt contained graphite
Corporate
End of quarter cash of $0.31M. Castle also holds two million Merah shares (ASX:MEH) representing a 3.0% holding in MEH. Castle has 128.5M shares on issue. Overhead, corporate and exploration cost reductions continue to be implemented reducing administration and overheads to ~ $20,000 per month. Discussions with a number of parties are ongoing with respect to possible funding and/or project joint venture.

Wa Project (Castle Minerals 100%)
Wa Project Gold Targets
Castle's large Wa Gold Project (~10,000km2) in north west Ghana hosts two Birimian greenstone belts
covering over 200 strike kilometres of prospective rocks. Since 2008 Castle has explored this previously untested area and discovered six new areas of gold mineralisation with five of these having a defined gold resource; (Julie West, Danyawu, Kandia (2) and Kpali).
Exploration is ongoing and with the Company's own drill rig enabling Castle to cheaply and effectively test targets, many of which are covered by a thin veneer of transported cover. Work to date on the Wa Project has involved over 140,000m of drilling along with extensive soil and auger geochemistry. Assessment of the data collected has identified twenty two targets proposed for drill testing. These targets range from open ended RC results to historic soil anomalies that have been reassessed as the knowledge base of the area develops. These twenty‐two targets are now being ranked and prioritised for testing primarily using the Company's own drill rig with work proposed to commence at the start of the dry season.
Wa South RAB Drilling
During the 2013/14 dry season, RAB drilling on the Wa Gold Project totalled 1,262 RAB holes for
29,861m. This work targeted areas considered prospective for gold and base metal mineralisation, particularly around the Bundi and Kpali gold prospects.
Ongoing assessment of this work identified significant graphitic schist intercepts within the oxide profile of a number of the RAB holes. The original drill samples for this drilling were only submitted for gold analysis. During the quarter 69 sample pulps from 2014 RAB drilling were selected and recovered from the laboratory in Ghana and submitted for carbon analysis in Perth. Sample pulps from the 2013 drilling have yet to be recovered and as a result only a portion of the prospective horizons have been assayed for graphitic carbon. Significant intercepts reported from this work include:
25m @ 2.44% TGC from 25m to EOH
26m @ 1.2% TGC from 10m to EOH
17m @ 1.3% TGC from 22m to EOH
10m @ 2.8% TGC from 9m to EOH
15m @ 3.1% TGC from 7m to EOH
These zones occur over at least 3km of strike based on drilling and interpretation of geophysical data and represent a greenfields discovery made as a consequence of our gold exploration. The RAB drilling has only tested the oxide component of the graphitic zones and most intercepts remain open at depth and along strike. The current strong interest in graphite suggests that this prospect may hold significant value for Castle and further work is proposed as part of the forthcoming field season along with numerous other gold anomalies that are currently being evaluated. Photographs on page 6 show RAB cuttings with the graphitic schist presenting as dark coloured material.
The Wa Project is known to host graphite deposits and 60km to the north Castle's Kambale deposit, hosts an Inferred Resource of 14.4mt @ 7.2%C (graphitic carbon) for 1.03mt contained graphite (refer CDT ASX release 24/7/2012).

JORC Code, 2012 Edition - Table 1
Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria
|
JORC Code explanation
|
Certified Person Commentary
|
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.
|
Sampling has been undertaken using a Rotary Air Blast
(RAB) drilling rig and collected in 1 m intervals.
|
Sampling techniques
|
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
|
Drill hole collar coordinates are in UTM grid (UTM
WGS84 Zone 30N) and are measured by handheld GPS
with accuracy of +/‐2m.
|
Sampling techniques
|
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report.
|
As per section below.
|
Sampling techniques
|
In cases where 'industry standard' work has been
done this would be relatively simple (eg '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.
|
Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling was used to obtain 1m
open‐hole samples, from which 5m composite samples were taken and sent to the laboratory where
2kg was pulverised and assayed for total graphitic carbon.
|
Drilling techniques
|
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open‐hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg 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).
|
RAB drilling has been conducted using a blade bit, usually to depth of refusal at the fresh rock interface. A hammer bit was used to penetrate any quartz veins encountered.
|
Drill sample recovery
|
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
|
No methods for ascertaining RAB sample recoveries
have been conducted. On the whole sample recoveries were good, with large samples recovered, and with variable levels of groundwater intersected to date.
|
Drill sample recovery
|
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
|
No special measures have been undertaken -
standard industry drilling techniques have been applied.
|
Drill sample recovery
|
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.
|
This relationship has not been tested, as it is not
believed to be a concern.
|
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.
|
RAB chip samples have been routinely geologically
logged and photographed in the field by geologists. The day's drilling plod sheets, and the collar, survey, logging and sampling data, were checked by the Senior Geologist, and sent to the Perth office each evening for loading into the company database.
No specific geotechnical of metallurgical logging has been undertaken on the RAB drill samples to date.
|
Logging
|
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
|
Logging includes noting lithology, colour, weathering, grain size, structure, alteration, sulphide mineralisation, and veining.
|
Castle Minerals Limited September 2014 Quarterly Report Page 8 of 12
The sample piles, and washed chips, of each complete
RAB hole are photographed.
|
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
|
Every metre sample from every hole has been logged
individually.
|
Sub‐sampling techniques and sample preparation
|
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.
|
No core drilling to date.
|
Sub‐sampling techniques and sample preparation
|
If non‐core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary
split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
|
5m RAB composite samples scooped from several
places from each 1m sample pile.
|
Sub‐sampling techniques and sample preparation
|
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
|
5m composites in RAB drilling is considered
appropriate for first‐pass work to indicate the presence of mineralisation, in anticipation of subsequent follow up drilling and sampling.
|
Sub‐sampling techniques and sample preparation
|
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub‐
sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.
|
Every 50th RAB sample is taken as a duplicate sample.
|
Sub‐sampling techniques and sample preparation
|
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.
|
Analysis of duplicate results has not raised any concerns about sample quality to date.
|
Sub‐sampling techniques and sample preparation
|
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.
|
The chosen sampling techniques are considered appropriate.
|
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.
|
All RAB gold samples were submitted to Intertek
Laboratory in Tarkwa, Ghana, for 50g Aqua Regia analysis for Au. Preparation was by drying and pulverising <2kg to nominally 95% passing 75μm in LM2 mill (lab method "PT01"). Sample pulps were then sent to Intertek Perth for graphite analysis using method C73/CSA with a 0.1% detection limit for Total graphitic carbon (TGC). Graphitic carbon method, removal of C‐CO3 and volatile Organic C. Analysed by Infrared Spectrometry. C‐TGC ‐ Carbon remaining after digestion of sample with HCl and heating at
420C. The assay technique is considered as total.
Results were sent by email as "csv files" to the Wa and Perth offices.
QAQC sample results (blanks, standards and duplicates) were checked and any problems were communicated and addressed with the lab before results were entered into the Castle database.
Sample pulps from the 2013 drilling have yet to be recovered and as a result only a portion of the prospective horizons identified have been assayed for graphitic carbon. Only sample pulps for the 2014 drilling program have been recovered.
|
Quality of assay data and laboratory tests
|
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.
|
Not applicable
|
Quality of assay data and laboratory tests
|
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g.
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.
|
Duplicate samples were taken every 50th sample.
Blank samples (obtained from a stone quarry near
Wa) were inserted every 20th sample.
QAQC analysis and reporting has not highlighted any areas of concern.
|
Verification of sampling and assaying
|
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.
|
RAB holes with significant intersections were visually checked and agreed with field logging of graphitic zones.
|
Castle Minerals Limited September 2014 Quarterly Report Page 9 of 12
The use of twinned holes.
|
No holes have been twinned to date.
|
Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
|
The daily drilling plod sheets, and the collar, survey,
logging and sampling data, were checked by the Senior Geologist, and sent to the Perth office each evening for loading into the company database.
Lab assay results were sent by email as "csv files" to the Wa and Perth offices.
QAQC sample results (blanks, standards and duplicates) were checked and any problems were communicated and addressed with the lab before results were entered into the Castle database.
|
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
|
There has been no adjustment to assay data.
|
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.
|
Drill hole collar coordinates are in UTM grid (UTM
WGS84 Zone 30N) are measured by handheld GPS
with accuracy of +/‐2m.
RAB holes were not down hole surveyed.
|
Location of data points
|
Specification of the grid system used.
|
UTM grid (UTM WGS84 Zone 30N) used exclusively
|
Location of data points
|
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
|
The topography in the area is largely flat. No other relative level (RL) control was used other than handheld GPS measurements, which in RL may be accurate to +/‐20m.
|
Data spacing and distribution
|
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
|
RAB spacing ranged from 100m to 200m lines, and
20m to 40m collar spacing.
|
Data spacing and distribution
|
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.
|
No resource has been estimated.
|
Data spacing and distribution
|
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
|
RAB intercepts reported are from 5m composites.
|
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.
|
Both the Bundi and Kpali mineralised structures appear to be striking N to NNE, and dipping steeply to the west. The drilling azimuth of 090 appears to be appropriate at both prospects.
|
Orientation of data in relation to geological structure
|
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.
|
There is not considered to be any significant sampling bias from current information.
|
Sample security
|
The measures taken to ensure sample security.
|
Samples are systematically numbered and recorded, bagged in labelled polyweave sacks, and dispatched in batches to the lab using local transport. The lab confirms receipt of all samples on the submission
form on arrival at the lab.
|
Audits or reviews
|
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.
|
No audits or reviews of sampling techniques have been conducted.
Analysis of performance of QAQC samples for the
2013‐2014 field season has been undertaken with no issues highlighted.

Information
|
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.
|
Appropriate tabulations for all significant RC and RAB gold results in the Degbiwu PL area have been included in previous announcements to the ASX. No previous graphite assays have been reported from Degbiwu.
|
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
|
RAB assay intercepts are generally reported above
1.0% total graphitic carbon (TGC).
|
Data aggregation methods
|
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such

examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.
|
zone.
|
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
|
No metal equivalence used or stated.
|
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths
|
These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.
|
RAB holes are drilled at ‐60 to 090.
|
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths
|
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
|
From interpretation of available data, it is believed that on average the strike of mineralisation is N‐NNE, and dipping steeply W.
|
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths
|
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').
|
Only the downhole lengths are reported.
The true width is not precisely known at this time.
|
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.
|
See diagrams in this announcements.
|
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 to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
|
Appropriate tabulations for all significant RC and RAB
gold results in the Degbiwu PL area have been included in previous announcements to the ASX.
|
Other substantive exploration data
