Ora Banda Mining Limited announced a maiden Mineral Resource of 43,000 Au ounces at its Riverina South Project. The Riverina South Project includes both the Riverina South Extension and the British Lion prospects and is located immediately to the south of Ora Banda's planned Riverina Open Pit which is a key part of the Company's larger Davyhurst Gold Project ("Project"). The Riverina Open Pit has a declared Ore Reserves of 1,400,000 tonnes @ 1.8g/t for 81,000 Au ounces and open pit mining at Riverina is scheduled to commence in October 2020. Riverina is located 44km from the Davyhurst processing plant. The maiden Mineral Resource for the Riverina South Project is 650,000 tonnes @ 2.1g/t for 43,000 ounces and includes both an open pit component (includes material constrained within AUD 2,400 optimised pit shells with a grade greater than 0.5 g/t Au) and an underground component (includes material that is outside the AUD 2,400 pit shells with a grade greater than 2.0 g/t Au). The Company's Mineral Resource statement now stands at 24.3Mt @ 2.3g/t for 2,170k ounces of contained gold. The initial Riverina South Mineral Resource follows a recently completed RC drilling program (101 holes, 10,983m) at the Riverina South Extension and British Lion prospects. The drilling was completed at a nominal 25 metre hole spacing and either a 40m or 80m drill section spacing. The program has been engineered to deliver an initial inferred resource. Drilling was focussed immediately south of the planned Riverina Open Pit, connecting with existing drilling, and further south at British Lion prospect. Between these two areas is a significant (300m) prospective corridor which has very limited drilling. Significantly, the high-grade Riverina Main lodes continue into the Riverina South area, though it appears to be offset to the east, possibly by NE trending faults. This is significant because it suggests there is potential to add to the high grade underground resource at Riverina of 728,000 tonnes @ 5.9g/t for 139,000 ounces. The Riverina South Mineral Resource is open at depth and to the south. Additional infill and extensional drilling will be targeted at bringing the existing resource areas to an Indicated classification, as well as define extensions including those at depth. The Company intends to continue exploration further to the south, at depth and out to the east where the Sunraysia trend is present. The Sunraysia Trends host the Silver Tongue (174Kt @ 2.5g/t for 14,000 ounces) and Forehand (822Kt @ 1.8g/t for 48,000 ounces) deposits. The Riverina South Open Pit Mineral Resource is reported from the resource model within a AUD 2,400 optimised pit shell to maintain consistency with previously announced open pit resources. The Riverina South prospect covers an approximately 1km long prospective corridor immediately along strike to the south of the Riverina deposit, and is host to numerous historic gold workings. It had been sparsely drilled but returned several encouraging drill intercepts from previous operators in the 1980's - 2000's. Prior to 2020, an exclusion zone covering the Riverina Homestead was in place that prevented drill testing of the target. This was lifted in April 2020, allowing the full length of the Riverina South target to be tested by drilling. The recent drilling by OBM is the first along the corridor (within the exclusion zone) since 2000. As with Riverina, mafic and ultramafic extrusive volcanics and volcanogenic sedimentary lithologies (wacke, siltstone, shales) are found in the Riverina South resource area. They have been altered to amphibolite grade metamorphism and the sediments comprise schist and mylonite. The mine sequence dips sub-vertically to the east and lies within the limb of an overturned fold with vergence relationships indicating a synformal closure to the east. The metabasalt comprises mineral assemblages of hornblende-biotite-feldspar and bleached patches, possibly sericite, that may have been feldspar phenocrysts. Subsequent retrograde alteration of the metabasalt has produced mineral assemblages of actinolite-chlorite +/- biotite +/- sericite. Mylonite zones occur near the contact with sediments and ultramafic. Ultramafic units to the west of the deposit are altered komatiites; they are highly deformed and comprise mineral assemblages of chlorite-actinolite-talc-carbonate and chlorite-anthophyllite-carbonate +/- tremolite. The sediments are extremely altered and occur as felsic schists and mylonite. The Riverina meta-sediments are frequently fresh host rocks for mineralisation for the footwall lodes within boudinaged and folded quartz veins parallel with schistose fabrics, emplaced during ductile deformation. Post-mineralisation pegmatite dykes form an ESE-trending dyke swarm that cross-cut all lithologies. Brittle faults sometimes occur along the dykes and sinistral strike slip offsets along these faults were recorded in the underground mine. Dykes can be up to 10 metres wide but are commonly <1m. Subvertical faults subparallel to the Main Riverina Lode have been mapped from underground, they intersect the lodes at low angles (<10°), they are highly foliated and 2-3 metres wide with fault gouge in localised areas. Cross faults strike NW-SE and dip 28° to 48° NE. From underground mapping on the 3-Level at the Riverina mine, they exhibit a sinistral sense of movement, have a displacement of 5 to 8m and likely extend into the Murchison and Reggie Lodes. The fault structures tend to be 0.5 to 1.0 metres in true width with internal brecciation bleaching and quartz veining. Similar faults are inferred to exist in the Riverina South area. The Riverina South Deposit is classified as a structurally controlled lode deposit, with the highest-grade and most persistent "shoots" of gold mineralisation associated with quartz veining, veinlet arrays and associated silicification. In mineralised zones, quartz veins are surrounded by visible wall-rock alteration haloes typically <5 metres wide, which are relatively small. Depending on vein density and silicification intensity, the alteration haloes may overlap or, where the veins are more widely spaced, the haloes may be separated by unaltered country rock. The common mineralisation assemblage is silica-sericite-pyrite-arsenopyrite (with pale green sericite). Dominant sulphide minerals include pyrrhotite and pyrite, with pyrrhotite often replacing pyrite. Arsenopyrite has been observed in localised areas in the highest gold grade intervals. It is also present in areas where a strong penetrative deformation fabric occurs, like ultramafic schist where no gold mineralisation is present. Euhedral sulphides commonly occur on the rims of quartz veins.
