ASX Market Announcements
Copper Hill
Geochemistry Surface Sampling Update
The Company (ASX:GCR) has received further soil geochemical results as part of an ongoing program to cover target areas of the Copper Hill tenement Exploration Licence 6391, north of Molong, NSW. Completion of further sampling has been delayed by rain events disrupting sampling and interim results are presented herein.
Infill and extension sampling of surface soils is designed to extend coverage based on an MGA grid [MGA z55 GDA94] over areas of Copper Hill and surrounds that are potential future infrastructure sites [e.g., waste rock stack and tailings storage areas] and where some past sampling has been analysed for a limited number of elements, leaving significant gaps in the multi-element coverage of target areas.
Sampling continued on a first pass spacing of 200 x 200 metres at an additional 43 sites as shown in Figure 1.

The assay results for copper and gold are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.
A review of the plotted data shows that soil copper is elevated to the northeast of the open cut and low over the open cut area itself; this correlates with previous oxide drilling observations which show copper depleted in the upper parts of the oxide zone and gold remaining as a residual in the open cut area.
Soil copper is elevated to the southeast of Wattle Hill and presents a zone open to the southeast for further extension sampling.
The soil distribution of elevated gold in Figure 3 parallels the overall interpreted northwest trending corridor linking Little Copper Hill in the north with Wattle Hill in the south.
When access conditions permit, further stages of sampling are planned to the southeast to test for extensions of the elevated copper zone and to the north towards Shades Road prospect, where limited previous low tenor results suggested subsurface source.
An extract tabulation of the main trace elements is included in Appendix 1. Further evaluation of the remaining key elements is planned as the sampled area expands.

Sampling techniques
- Nature and quality of sampling (eg 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.
- Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
- Samples were collected from skeletal soils at a depth of approximately 25cm using shovel & mattock and sieved in the field to -2mm, producing a sample of ~100-200grams in kraft paper packets for lab submission. Site characteristics were noted in field sample books

- 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.
- Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.
- The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.
- The use of twinned holes.
- Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data
- All samples analysed by Australian Laboratory Services. Preparation at the Brisbane laboratory and analysis at Orange.. Standard internal checks, matching checks with other ALS labs and annual 'round robin' comparisons with competitor labs.
- Acceptable levels of accuracy and precision have been established
