Peruvian Projects

Ashburton Minerals Ltd, with overwhelming shareholder approval, acquired all of the shares in unlisted Platypus Resources Ltd (PRL) in October 2013 through the issue of 1.75 Bn ATN shares, and changed name to Platypus Minerals Ltd (PLP) to reflect the change in primary focus to copper exploration in Peru.

Peruvian Projects – tenure position

PRL has secured two projects in Peru:

  • 1. Central Project (3,450 ha),

surrounding Inca Minerals (ASX:ICG) through an agreement to acquire Peruvian private company Minera Chanape SAC (MC); and

  • 1. San Damian Project (20,000 ha),
  • wned by PRL and held in trust for

PRL by MC.

Chanape area - geophysics

Geophysical data over the Chanape area shows continuity of prospective features into MC (Platypus) ground.

Chargeability at 150 m depth, highlighting predominant NE- SW trends in the general area.

(High Ridge, 2008).

Magnetics at 375 m

  • depth. The annulus

might represent a concentration of magnetite in a zone

  • f propylitic

alteration surrounding a porphyry deposit.

Inca extensions

Example of extension of mineralisation from Inca’s ground into the Platypus ground includes recent surface rock chip sampling in the NE corner. Gold grades of 31.6 g/t, 13.7 g/t and 19.4 g/t

  • ccur adjacent to boundary, with regional NE-SW

structural trends promoting continuity to the NE into Platypus ground.

Central Project – Platypus Targets

In addition to targeting the obvious continuations of Chanape mineralisation, Platypus will initially investigate two priority targets wholly within its own ground, and separate to Chanape:

  • 1. Cerro Molle – a large alteration anomaly
  • 2. Shullac – a broad area of epithermal mineralisation

associated with several artisanal silver-lead-zinc mines. Shullac

Cerro Molle – visible from satellite

Modelling of Aster satellite spectral data by MC suggests the presence of a separate, and larger, porphyry target at Cerro Molle within the northwest part of the Platypus tenements.

Shullac Mine

The main portal at the Shullac mine provides access to workings throughout the mine area. The Shullac mine veins are hosted within a mineralized breccia and lie on the NE-SW trend typical of the general Chanape area. Surface rock chip sampling within the Minera Chanape (Platypus) ground at Shullac returned up to: 1.0 g/t Au 45.8 g/t Ag 2.17% Pb 12.25% Zn 0.14% of Cu.

Peruvian projects – planned work

1st phase exploration (Q1 2014):

  • Modelling of Aster multispectral data over remainder of Central Project,

specifically the Shullac area

  • Fieldwork over Cerro Molle and Shullac: mapping, rock chips, geochemistry
  • Ground geophysics: magnetics, IP, gravity

2nd phase exploration (Q2 2014):

  • Drilling at Cerro Molle
  • Drilling at Shullac
  • Reconnaissance over San Damian project

Australian Projects: Ni-Cu-Au; IOCG

Platypus retains several projects in Western Australia to balance its exploration portfolio and to provide newsflow ahead of activities and results from Peru.

All are:

  • Aligned with the Platypus focus on copper-gold
  • Located in proven districts
  • Highly prospective, with defined targets
  • Low cash commitment
