Wudinna Gold Project Prince Alfred Copper Project
A historic copper mine with no modern exploration

Prince Alfred
100% owned by wholly owned Cobra subsidiary Lady Alice Mines Pty Ltd. Historic high-grade mineralisation / operations. Mining ceased due to existing technology / copper price paradigm. Depth extent of mineralisation has yet to be properly tested. Mineralisation can be tested quickly and cheaply. A clear exploration programme. A compelling opportunity: Brownfields Exploration

The Prince Alfred Copper project was discovered in 1866, unfortunately no historic records survived. Operated by the Prince Alfred Gold Mining Company Ltd 1869 – 1874. Most ore production occurred in the 1870’s, initially shipping concentrate to Port Adelaide, then three smelters (wood fired reverberatory furnaces) were built in 1871. Initially open cut, then three shafts were sunk to 82m, 45m and 30m. The reason for the first closure is unclear, but there were several labour disputes. Worked again between 1888-1909, producing 12kt of ore and shipping concentrate to
1967 until early 1970’s the tailings were tank leached to recover 600t of copper. Project History

Project History
Prince Alfred
Located 100km north-east of Port Augusta. One granted exploration license (two areas) EL 6016 – 9km2. Cu mineralisation is stratiform , shear-hosted with grades around 5% Cu (Historic).

Prince Alfred Copper Mine EL 6016
Location & Tenure
Prince Alfred
The Mines Department drilled two holes in 1960 to test beneath the Prince Alfred Mine. DDH #1 stopped short of mineralisation due to a miscalculation in target hole depth.

DDH 1 DDH 2 DDH 1
Exploration Model
Prince Alfred
DDH #2 is thought to have tested
the southern boundary of the mineralised structure. Mineralisation is believed to dip at 50 degrees to the west and to plunge at 60 degrees to the south. The target is to identify high-grade sulphide ore down-dip and down- plunge.
“the lode appears to be faulted at the 108-ft and 170-ft levels and although still very
satisfactory, is not as rich in the lower as in the upper workings. It continues underfoot on the 170-ft level…..From structural considerations it appears that there is a strong possibility that the lode will continue underfoot for some considerable depth.”

Located in the Central Gawler Gold Province, Eyre Peninsula South Australia Central Gawler Gold province comprises gold deposits such as Tunkillia, Tarcoola, Weednanna and Nuckulla Hill. The prospects/deposits are similar to those of
Both the Central Gawler gold province and Olympic Dam IOCG province, systems broadly coeval with magmatism of the Hiltaba Suite and Gawler Range Volcanics, at ~1570 to 1595 Ma.

Mineralisation
Barns 3-D Model 17
Wudinna
Mineralisation occurs as a series of stacked quartz/pyrite veins The dip of the sheets is variably shallow and plunge at 20→ 305 The hydrothermal alteration is characteristically zoned around gold mineralisation, with intense sericite pyrite alteration and quartz veining proximal to gold mineralisation Gold is associated with pyrite and minor to trace galena, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite. Iron oxides are low in abundance in mineralized zones, which correspond to demagnetized zones.

2000 - The Barns gold deposit was discovered with significant intersections including 12 metres at 3.38g/t gold from 67 metres in RCBN-123, and 35.49 metres at 1.80g/t gold from 115 metres in PDBN-134. 2003 - White Tank, discovered, included 7 metres at 10.03g/t gold from 63 metres in RHBN-234, and 17 metres at 3.47g/t gold from 60 metres in RHBN-248. 2004 - Baggy Green discovered, including 8 metres at 4.79g/t gold from 34 metres in WUD6-770, and 5 metres at 9.01g/t gold from 66 metres in BGRC-865.

>150koz Resource mineral resource published January 2017 (JORC 2012) Optiro currently remodelled the resource, which is expected to deliver a higher confidence resource Variography has confirmed that the 305 plunge direction is the preferred geological continuity. The new resource model only estimates grades within geologically defendable solids, and excludes numerous grade intercepts due to a lack of drilling.

Evident trend in calcrete depletion and gold mineralisation, aligned with zone of deformation. Barns mineralisation could have been discovered by drilling only the highest 5% of sample values within the 2.5 ppb contour ... for a discovery cost in the order of $1.50/ounce.
Geochemistry
Wudinna
23
Many of gold anomalies fall within a zone of calcrete deficiency which aligns with the Wudinna Deformed Zone. Calcium-normalised gold in soil/calcrete values better reflect the presence of underlying gold mineralisation than raw gold in soil/calcrete values. Previous drilling was sited to test raw gold in soil/calcrete anomalies – which is suboptimal. Coincidence of arsenic anomalism with calcium- normalised gold anomalism is rated as a target identifier. Silver anomalism coincident with calcium- normalised gold anomalism (with or without arsenic) is rated as a secondary identifier.

Prince Alfred
A walk-up brownfields copper project. Existing mineralised system, where mining stopped due to copper price and mining / processing technology. Can be quickly and effectively tested.
Wudinna
Wudinna is an advanced exploration project situated in a highly prospective geological terrane, with an existing resource > 200koz. The presence of transported cover has deterred explorers due to a lack of effective geochemical path finders to mineralisation. A new understanding of the continuity of mineralisation, and the use of Calcium-normalised Au + As +/- Ag anomalism is expected to be a breakthrough target generation tool. The potential for resource extensions and additions is significant with a straight forward exploration programme.
