ASX Announcement

7 December 2021

Exploration Update for the Berkshire Valley Ni-Cu-

PGE Project

Key Points:

  • Approximately 190 shallow reconnaissance aircore holes completed to date along the Eastern Trend targeting previously identified Ni-Cu-PGE geochemical anomalies;
  • Minor sulphides intersected in 13 aircore holes to date within the northern Cu-PGE anomaly;
  • Best PGE geochemical anomaly on the Eastern Trend still to be drilled;
  • RC program on Eastern Trend to commence week beginning 10 December
  • Extensional and infill aircore as well as two RC holes completed on the Western Trend to follow up areas of interest from earlier in 2021;
  • Moving Loop Electromagnetic survey postponed until January 2022 due to several issues with crew availability.

Todd River Resources Limited (ASX: TRT) (Todd River or the Company) is pleased to provide the following update on the aircore and RC drilling program that is underway at its 100% owned Berkshire Valley Ni-Cu-PGE Project in Western Australia (Figure 1).

Drilling

The aircore and RC drilling program underway at Berkshire Valley is approximately 60% complete with 190 holes completed and around 150 holes remaining to be drilled on the Eastern Trend. Drilling along the Eastern Trend has identified the presence of sulphides (up to 5% total sulphides) in partly weathered and fresh gabbros and pyroxenites in 13 holes on 6 drill lines, all within the 1.8Km long coincident Cu-PGE auger geochemical anomaly previously reported (ASX announcement 2 August 2021). The sulphides appear to be predominantly pyrrhotite and pyrite and occur over intervals of up to 18 metres in hole BVAC0558.

Importantly, trace levels of chalcopyrite are present in a number of holes drilled to date as part of a sulphide suite dominated by pyrrhotite and pyrite. When read with a portable XRF analyser, the samples with chalcopyrite run at approximately 0.1-0.2% Cu which is highly anomalous.

The holes that have intersected sulphides are highlighted in Figure 2. Analytical results from this drilling, including those for platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd), are expected in late January 2022. Significantly, the geochemical anomalies with the highest Pt and Pd values on the Eastern Trend are yet to be drilled. The drill rig will commence these lines in the next few days.

On the Western Trend, a small infill and extensional aircore program was completed at the northern part of the April 2021 drilling area to follow up a number of low level Ni and Cu anomalies that have been subsequently defined. In addition, two RC holes to 154m and 130m depth were completed. The RC holes drilled through amphibolite and intersected trace sulphides, logged as pyrrhotite and pyrite, in both holes. The samples from this drilling have been submitted for assay.

Moving Loop Electromagnetic Survey (MLTEM)

A detailed MLTEM survey that was expected to start in late November has been postponed until early January as a result of recent government vaccine mandates that have impacted on crew availability. The Company expects the survey to be completed by the end of January with any drilling required to follow up the survey to commence thereafter.

Next Steps

Over the next two months the Company's focus will remain at Berkshire Valley. As a priority, the planned RC drilling of high priority targets on the Eastern Trend will commence as the aircore program is completed and the logging of the aircore holes will allow the RC program to be refined and optimised. It is expected that the RC program will be completed in early 2022.

In addition, drilling of any targets identified during the MLTEM survey is also expected to take place in early 2022 once targets are identified and defined.

Will Dix, Managing Director of Todd River Resources, commented:

"This is an excellent start to the drilling campaign on the Eastern Trend. Seeing multiple shallow holes over significant strike with sulphides including some chalcopyrite present in gabbroic and pyroxenitic geology absolutely validates both the exploration model and the approach we have taken at Berkshire Valley.

We are eagerly awaiting the analytical results to determine whether there are any PGE's associated with the sulphides and we continue to progress the drilling with the strongest PGE anomalies still to be tested, as well as the RC holes we have planned.

Whilst it's disappointing that our EM crew has become unavailable in the short term, we are fortunate that this will only postpone the program by around 4 weeks and we can look forward to completing the survey in January. This is an exciting time for the Company and we look forward to sharing the assay results with shareholders as soon as they are received."
