EARAHEEDY SAMPLING PROGRAM RETURNS POLYMETALLIC TARGETS
BPM Minerals Ltd (ASX: BPM) ('BPM' or 'the Company') is pleased to announce stream sediment sampling results from the Company's 100%-owned Ivan Well Project, located in Western Australia's Earaheedy Basin.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Assay results received from 33 stream sediment samples collected in late 2021 from BPM's Ivan Well Project.1
- Two priority Ag-Cu-Zn +/- Au +/-Ba polymetallic targets have been identified; both coincide with the interpreted outcropping position of the prospective Frere-Yelma unconformity.
- Ivan Well is located on the north-eastern margin of the Earaheedy Super Basin, an emerging metallogenic province (Fig. 1).

- The Frere-Yelma contact outcrops along the northeast side of the project and dips back under the project at a relatively shallow angle.
- Stream sediment sampling is effective and low-cost geochemical exploration which identifies water catchment areas that potentially contain outcropping mineralisation or related structures/fluid pathways (Fig. 2).

Commenting on the results, BPM Exploration Manager Oliver Judd:
"While Hawkins remains the Company's primary focus in the Earaheedy, work will continue to progress both the Ivan Well and Rhodes Projects which have both demonstrated to be prospective for a range of precious and base-metals. This part of the Earaheedy remains vastly underexplored and with previous work targeting only Iron, the northeast part of the Basin remains a priority for BPM."

NEXT STEPS
- Historic Fe-focused exploration at Ivan Well didn't assay for base metals, BPM is currently compiling a large historical database, including stream sediment, soil, rock- chip, reverse circulation drilling, diamond drilling, and geophysical data.
- Given the significant body of previous Fe-focused work, the Company is planning lead-zinc-silver focussed exploration programs including follow-up on the priority anomalous catchments with soil grids, mapping and rock chipping to target the base of the prospective Frere-Yelma unconformity that is host to the recent lead-zinc discovery by Rumble Resources.
