LADY FANNY IP SURVEY LIGHTS UP STRONG CHARGEABILITY TARGETS

Carnaby Resources Limited (ASX: CNB) (Carnaby or the Company) is pleased to report further exploration results at its 100% owned Lady Fanny copper gold discovery within the Greater Duchess Copper Gold Project in Mt Isa, Queensland.

Highlights

Induced Polarisation (IP) results have been received from the first

only

three lines at Lady Fanny completed on ~200m spaced east-west

traverses. Results from a further three IP lines are awaited.

The IP results have recorded several strong undrilled inversion

chargeability anomalies of exceptional potential and completely

open at depth and along strike (Figure 1, 2, 3 & 4).

Strong near surface IP chargeability inversion anomalies correlate

use

extremely well with outcropping copper mineralisation confirming

that the IP is almost certainly identifying the strong copper sulphide

mineralisation at surface and at depth.

A major RC drilling program at Lady Fanny is underway to drill out

the top 100m depth over a >400m strike and target the new IP

anomalies.

Heritage surveys at the Nil Desperandum Prospect were successfully

personal

completed yesterday, clearing the way for follow up drilling of the

400m long IP anomaly southwest of the 41m @ 4.1% copper in

NLDD044 to commence shortly.

The Company's Managing Director, Rob Watkins commented:

For

"The Lady Fanny IP results are extremely encouraging and are suggestive of a much larger copper sulphide bearing system at depth and along strike. The IP at Lady Fanny appears to be working as well as it did at Nil Desperandum which led to the high-grade discovery. This bodes well for the follow up drilling at Lady Fanny which is underway. The strength of the Lady Fanny inversion chargeability anomalies is stronger than in the high-grade discovery IP section at Nil Desperandum. While the strength of the chargeability inversion anomalies cannot be used as a guide for copper grades or widths, the strength of the Lady Fanny IP chargeability anomalies is certainly a positive sign. With this in mind, we are genuinely excited about what lies ahead at Lady Fanny and Nil Desperandum and the broader Greater Duchess Copper Gold Project in the weeks and months ahead."

GREATER DUCHESS COPPER GOLD PROJECT

LADY FANNY PROSPECT (CARNABY 100%)

Figure 1. Lady Fanny Plan Showing new IP inversion chargeability anomalies.

Results from the first three lines of IP at Lady Fanny have outlined several strong inversion chargeability anomalies across all three lines (Figure 1, 2, 3 & 4). Data from an additional three infill and extension IP lines have been received and inversion modelling of the data is underway and will be reported shortly. The IP lines were completed over 1.4km long east-west traverses covering the entire Lady Fanny to Burke & Wills lines of workings.

IP LINE 7649250N

IP line 7649250N is the southern most IP line completed at Lady Fanny (Figure 1). This IP line is south of any previous drilling and is on the edge of where thin alluvial cover masks the southern strike potential of the main Lady Fanny Lodes (Figure 1 & 5).

The results highlight a very strong inversion chargeability anomaly from near surface to approximately 150m below surface. The strength of the IP anomaly is stronger than the IP anomaly generated on the discovery IP line 19000N at Nil Desperandum. The strength of chargeability is governed by many variables and can't be used as a guide to copper grades or widths however it is considered highly encouraging.

No known historical drilling or IP is present south of this IP line for three kilometres to the Nil Desperandum discovery with shallow alluvium cover masking most of the highly prospective corridor in between the two discoveries. Future exploration will no doubt target this gap, especially given the IP results on the southern most known extension at Lady Fanny.

Preparations are underway to drill the chargeability inversion target on IP line L7649250N.

IP LINE 7649450N

IP line 7649450N was completed over the central Lady Fanny workings area with the line bisecting drill holes LFRC012 and LFRC013, which intersected 17m @ 2.1% copper, 0.9 g/t gold from 74m and 20m @ 2.3% copper, 0.5g/t gold from 30m respectively.

The results from the IP show a very strong shallow chargeability anomaly coincident with the location of the outcropping copper gold mineralisation indicating that the IP is modelling copper sulphide mineralisation as it does at Nil Desperandum 3km to the south.

Further modelling of the IP is in progress to investigate the near surface modelling effects of this very strongly chargeable zone.

Of considerable interest is the presence of a deeper chargeability inversion anomaly at approximately 200m depth and about 150m west of the main near surface chargeability anomaly. This deeper target appears to connect with a similar feature in next IP line 225m to the north. No drilling has yet targeted this new chargeability anomaly.

IP LINE 7649675N

IP line 7649675N was completed over the northern end of the Lady Fanny workings (Figure 1). No drilling at all has yet been completed in this area with the closest drill hole being 200m to the south which interested 20m @ 2.3% copper, 0.5g/t gold in LFRC013.

The results highlight two extremely strong and shallow chargeability anomalies on the edge of the historical workings with maximum modelled inversion chargeability's of 47 and 37 m/sec (Figure 4).

Further modelling of the IP is in progress to investigate the near surface modelling effects of these very strongly chargeable zones.

A deeper chargeability inversion anomaly at 373925E may represent a continuation of the eastern Lady Fanny lode surface IP anomaly and will be drill tested shortly.

Of great interest is the IP inversion chargeability anomaly at about 100m depth at approximately 373700E (Figure 4). This anomaly appears to coincide with a similar magnitude IP chargeability anomaly on the IP line 7649450N, 225m to the south (Figure 1 & 3). It is not yet known whether this new chargeable zone approximately 100m west of the main Lady Fanny line of lode is a new parallel lode horizon and only future drilling will tell.

Soon to be received results from an infill IP line will also verify the connectivity of this new chargeability anomaly immediately west of Lady Fanny.

For personal use only

The three IP lines across the Burke & Wills line of lode, 400m west of Lady Fanny, in general were fairly subdued in the shallow depths with only a weak chargeability anomaly generated at shallow depths on IP line 7649675N (Figure 4). However, a strong deep chargeability anomaly was generated directly beneath the Burke & Wills lode at approximately 373400E and will be investigated with drilling in the future (Figure 4).
