Wudinna Project Update

 

RC Drilling Update

Initial Observations Positive for Further Gold Mineralisation at Clarke

 

Cobra, a gold exploration company focused on the Wudinna Gold Project in South Australia, announces the completion of the Company's latest phase of field operations. This phase included Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling of priority gold targets at the Clarke prospect and a detailed ground gravity geophysical survey of IOCG targets 1-3.

 

RC Drilling

 

Drilling at Clarke comprised 14 holes totalling 2,187 metres, designed to test the continuity of mineralisation where recent pathfinder drilling defined a significant 1.1 km anomalous gold zone over last year's intercept of 31m at 3.06 g/t of gold.

 

The Company is pleased to note that drill chips from Clarke contain sulphide mineralisation, sericite alteration and key geological domains that are considered supportive of gold mineralisation. Samples are now at the laboratory and results are expected to be received for the first two holes within 2-3 weeks, with further results to be received throughout December/January.

 

The Company is further pleased to note that follow-up analysis of rare earth elements ("REE") from the recent pathfinder drilling programme which completed last month has demonstrated the potential for Ion Absorbed Clay ("IAC") hosted rare earth mineralisation where a maximum Total Rare Earth Oxide ("TREO") result of 2,177 ppm was intersected at Clarke, proximal to previously defined gold mineralisation. REEs are strategically important minerals, essential to technological advancements in clean energy technology. Whilst early stage, these results may demonstrate the potential for IAC hosted Rare Earth Mineralisation to complement the project's gold resource. Further test work is required to confirm the style and metallurgical potential of REE mineralisation.

 

Two unseasonal rain events impacted access to Benaud and, as such, a single hole at Benaud has been deferred until the next phase of RC drilling.

 

Geophysical Survey

 

A detailed ground gravity survey was completed on a 250m x 250m grid over IOCG targets 1-3. Preliminary results are currently being interpreted by the Company's consultants; final orbit corrections are anticipated to be confirmed within weeks. The Company anticipates that the results of the survey can be released once these corrections are confirmed.

 

Rupert Verco, CEO of Cobra, commented:

 

"Our exploration programme has progressed on schedule and within budget. We are grateful to Bullion Drilling for their professionalism and look forward to having them back at site as soon as possible.

 

Initial geological observations are positive for further gold mineralisation at Clarke, and we are eagerly anticipating results.

 

The ground gravity geophysical programme is a significant step forward in maturing our IOCG targets. Combined with the pathfinder chemistry results, the detailed gravity survey will enable the Company to advance these to drill testing."

About Cobra

Cobra's Wudinna Gold Project is located in the Gawler Craton which is home to some of the largest IOCG discoveries in Australia including Olympic Dam, as well as Prominent Hill and Carrapateena. Cobra's Wudinna tenements contain extensive orogenic gold mineralisation and are characterised by potentially open-pitable, high-grade gold intersections, with ready access to nearby infrastructure. In total Cobra has over 22 orogenic gold prospects, with grades of between 16 g/t up to 37.4 g/t gold outside of the current 211,000 oz JORC Mineral Resource Estimate, as well as one copper-gold prospect, and five IOCG targets.

 

Wudinna Project Description

The Eyre Peninsula Gold Joint Venture comprises a 1,928 km2 land holding in the Gawler Craton. The Wudinna Gold Project within the Joint Venture tenement holding comprises a cluster of gold prospects which includes the Barns, White Tank and Baggy Green deposits.
