Wide gold-silver-copper intercepts in initial drilling highlight potential of the Mt Cattlin Project, WA

Encouraging initial results from the Ellendale Prospect and significant DHEM anomalies use

identified at Revelation; ~80% of assays from a 5,000m RC and diamond drill program

awaited

Key Points:

  • Highly encouraging results received in the initial batch of assays from recently completed drilling at the 100%-owned Mt Cattlin Gold-Copper Project in WA.
  • RC drilling at the Ellendale Prospect intersected wide mineralised zones:
  1. 19m @ 1.25g/t Au, 0.38g/t Ag and 0.05% Cu from 18m down-hole, including:
    • 1m @ 5.45g/t Au, 1.59g/t Ag and 0.05% Cu (RAGC072)
  1. 11m @ 2.5g/t Au, 2.94g/t Ag and 0.29% Cu from 77m down-hole, including:
    • 1m @ 11.8g/t Au, 1.0g/t Ag and 0.11% Cu; and
    • 2m @ 3.05g/t Au, 3.39g/t Ag and 0.29% Cu (RAGC 073)

personal

o 8m @ 1.21g/t Au, 0.8g/t Ag and 0.05% Cu from 44m down-hole (RAGC070)

Initial RC drilling and down-hole electromagnetic (DHEM) surveys at the Revelation

prospect indicates that gold-copper mineralisation intersected previously is associated

with a steeply-dipping intrusive body about 400m in length.

An RC hole has been completed into the core of this body, with assays awaited.

Overall, the recently completed program at Mt Cattlin consisted of ~5,000m of Reverse

For

Circulation drilling and of diamond drilling. Assays are awaited for ~80% of these samples,

which are expected to be progressively received in January 2022.

Traka Resources Limited (ASX: TKL; Traka or the Company) is pleased to report encouraging initial

assay results from the recently completed drilling program at its 100%-ownedMt Cattlin Gold-Copper

Project, located immediately adjacent to the Mt Cattlin lithium mine in the Ravensthorpe Greenstone Belt

in the south-west of Western Australia.

Initial drilling at the Ellendale Prospect, located in the central part of the Mt Cattlin Project, has returned wide gold-silver-copper intercepts below extensive historical workings.

onlyInitial drilling and down-hole electromagnetic surveys (DHEM) have also highlighted the potential for a large-scale mineralised structure at the Revelation Prospect (1), identifying a large, steeply-dipping intrusive body ~400m long.

The results continue to highlight the excellent potential of the Mt Cattlin Gold-Copper Project to host significant mineralisation.

The locations of the key prospects within the Mt Cattlin Project are shown in Figure 1 below.

The Ellendale Prospect:

A total of seven RC (Reverse Circulation) drill-holes were completed at Ellendale to investigate a 200- metre-long portion of the historic Ellendale mine workings.

The Ellendale workings are shallow (<10m) and narrow (1m) but were noted to coincide with an untested gold soil geochemical and aeromagnetic anomaly that extends over a strike length of 1 kilometre between the Revival Prospect to the north-east and the Plantagenet Prospect to the south-west (Figure 1) (2) (3). The mineralisation now intersected under Ellendale is far wider and more extensive than indicated on surface.

Mineralisation was found to be hosted in a steeply-dipping zone of porphyritic and doleritic intrusive with low-grade copper mineralisation occurring in zones of up to 30 metres. Several gold lodes occur within this zone.

A selection of the significant intersections are presented below, and a full tabulation is provided in Table 1 and 2:
