ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
NEW NICKEL & GOLD GEOCHEM TARGETS IDENTIFIED
HIGHLIGHTS
Extensive geochemical auger drilling program completed over the NW portion of the Carr Boyd Nickel
Project (CBNP)
Sampling covered the T5 Prospect contact where RC drilling recently discovered Ni-Co-Cu
mineralisation at depth
Trace multi-element geochemical analysis completed for target pathfinder vector evaluation
Multiple new Nickel and Gold pathfinder vector targets were generated and warrant further investigation
Reassying of pulps for Au + PGE elements within identified target zones is warranted
This geochemical vector evaluation work will greatly assist Estrella in driving exploration and drilling at
the CBNP
Estrella Resources Limited (ASX: ESR) (Estrella or the Company) is pleased to announce that new Nickel and Gold
geochemical targets have been generated from the assay results received from the recently completed auger
drilling program (Figure 1). The targets were identified in the northwest portion of the Carr Boyd Nickel Project
(CBNP or the Project) tenement package which is located 75km north of Kalgoorlie (Figure 5). The CBNP is
comprised of the Carr Boyd Layered Complex (CBLC or the Complex) that hosts the historic Carr Boyd Rocks
nickel mine which produced 202,110t of ore at an average grade of 1.43% Ni and 0.46% Cu between 1970-1977.

The Company enlisted Gyro Australia to drill 536 shallow auger holes (plus 28 QAQC samples) using a low-impact
Landcruiser mounted auger drill rig (Figure 2). Drilling comprised of shallow 0.5m-1.5m deep auger soil sample drill
holes across the northwest tenements (M31/12, M31/109, E31/726 & E31/1215) at the CBNP (Figure 1 & Table 1).
Drill spoil material (Figure 2) was sieved to -2mm and a 150g-600g sample (ave. 270g) was collected and submitted
to SGS Laboratories in Perth for multi-element geochemical analysis.
Figure 2. Gyro Australias Landcruiser mounted auger drill rig collecting low impact geochemical soil samples at CBNP.
Analysis comprised a 49 multi-element assay suite completed on the samples in order to evaluate the geochemistry
using pathfinding vectors, particularly looking for nickel and gold target zones. The evaluation looked at the raw
elemental assay results as well as combined key elemental associations in order to produce vector target maps
over the sampling area (Figures 3 and 4). Table 2 displays the detection limits as well as the minimum and maximum
key elemental assay results as displayed in this report.
Two high priority Ni-Co-Cu targets were identified at the Central and POH Zones (Figure 1). These target zones
include previously identified smaller prospects; however, the soil sampling has extended the target zones over a
much larger area of approximately 2.5km x 1.2km (Figure 3), identifying contacts which have had limited historical
work completed on them. The geochemical maps clearly demonstrate the fertility of the NNW trending Central Zone
which includes the Scotia East Ni-Co zone and the recently announced sulphide discovery at the Target 5 (T5)
Prospect (ASX: Nickel Copper Discovery at Carr Boyd Rocks- 28 May 2019; and Assay Results Confirm New
Sulphide Nickel Discovery Zone at Carr Boyd Rocks- 8 July 2019).
Ni-Co-Cu bearing sulphides were intersected in both drilled holes at T5 which comprised of disseminated to matrix
sulphide mineralisation:
o 8m @ 1.11% Ni & 0.36% Cu returned from drill hole CBP042
Includes 4m @ 1.60% Ni & 0.31% Cu from matrix sulphide zone
o 1m @ 0.61% Ni & 0.57% Cu returned from drill hole CBP043
It was interpreted from the drill data that the mineralisation was developing towards the north and the results of the
geochemical soil sampling supports this model, warranting further investigation along the length of this fertile
ultramafic unit and its basal contact. A strong Cu associated anomaly was generated at the POH Zone (Figures 1
and 3) to the east of the Central Zone. Historic drilling has taken place at this prospect, however remodeling and
reinterpretation of the data is warranted given the strength of the anomaly generated.
New secondary targets have been generated at what has been named the Eastern, Western and Northern Zones
(dashed rectangles), each showing Ni-Co and Cr association supporting fertile ultramafic relationships (Figure 1
and 3). Of interest is the highly anomalous new Eastern Zone which is open to the south of the auger sampling
area. It is located directly over a magnetic high ultramafic unit (Figure 1) and does not have a historical prospect
located in this area.
Reassying of pulps testing for PGE elements within these target zones is now warranted. Further historical database
and field investigation is also required to validate each of these target zones and determine the next phase of
exploration works required i.e. infill/extensional auger soil sampling and/or deeper AC/RC drilling.
Figure 3: Key elemental and pathfinder vector plots identifying Nickel associated target zones (red rectangles). Primary targets have
solid outllines and secondary targets have dashed outlines.
In addition to the Ni-Co-Cu targets, the geochemical vector analysis defined two parallel Gold pathfinder related
trends over the Western greenstone sequence (Figure 4). The Au pathfinder targets are coincident with structural
breaks in the aeromagnetics (Figure 1: yellow dashed line) supporting the potential for structurally controlled Au
mineralisation to occur in the west of the project area.
Reassying of pulps testing for Gold & PGE elements within these structural target zones is now warranted. Further
historical database and field investigations are required to validate each of these targets.

Company Chief Executive Officer, Chris Daws said “Our mineral exploration work at the Carr Boyd Nickel project
continues to unlock its potential. Carr Boyd is one of only a handful of layered mafic intrusions with economic
concentrations of nickel and copper mineralisation located in Australia and thus is highly prospective, I look
forward to what our ongoing exploration work will reveal.”

ABOUT THE CARR BOYD NICKEL PROJECT
The tenure portfolio is centered around the Carr Boyd Layered Complex (CBLC), a 75km2 layered mafic igneous
complex, which hosts several occurrences of nickel and copper sulphides. The most significant occurrence
discovered to date is at the Carr Boyd Rocks mine, where mineralisation is hosted by bronzitite breccias
(pyroxenites) emplaced within the gabbroic sequence of the Complex. The CLBC intrusion is emplaced within the
surrounding Archaean Volcano-Sedimentary Greenstone Belts which are host to numerous komatiite hosted nickel
mines within the Kalgoorlie District (Figure 5).

in 1968. The deposit was mined between 1972 and
1975, during which time they explored for additional
breccia pipe occurrences near the mine.
WMC acquired Great Boulder Mines Ltd in 1975, briefly
reopening the mine in 1977 before closing it
permanently shortly thereafter due to a collapse in the
nickel price. The mine had produced 210,000t at 1.44%
Ni and 0.46% Cu before its closure.
From 1968 Pacminex Pty Ltd held most of the ground
over the CBLC outside of the immediate mine area.
Between 1968 and 1971 they conducted extensive
exploration programs searching for large basal contact
and/or stratabound Ni-Cu deposits. It was during this
time that most of the disseminated and cloud sulphide
occurrences such as those at Tregurtha, West
Tregurtha and Gossan Hill were discovered.
Criteria
JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Defiance Mining acquired the regional tenements from
Pacminex in 1987 and focused on exploration for PGE
deposits between 1987 and 1990. In 1990 Defiance
purchased the Carr Boyd Rocks mine from WMC and
switched focus to the mine area between 1990 and
2001, leaving many PGE targets untested.
From 1990 Defiance dewatered the mine to conduct
testwork and feasibility studies on the remnant
mineralisation. Metallurgical testwork, Mineral Resource
estimations, and scoping studies were completed.
Around 1996 the focus shifted again to regional
exploration for large tonnage basal contact deposits.
In 2001 Titan Resources Ltd (Titan) acquired the project
and recommenced economic evaluations of the remnant
material at Carr Boyd Rocks before embarking on
another regional exploration program focusing on the
basal contact. An aeromagnetic survey, airborne EM
reprocessing, and several programs of RAB and RC
drilling were completed.
From 2005 Yilgarn Mining entered a JV with Titan and
continued with some regional exploration, but focused
most attention in and around the Carr Boyd Rocks mine.
In 2007 Titan was acquired by Consolidated Minerals
Ltd (Consmin). Consmin conducted IP surveys and
detailed gravity surveys, but did not drill any targets
before selling the project to Salt Lake Mining (SLM) in
2013.
SLM completed limited drilling to meet
expenditure commitments, before selling the project to
Apollo Phoenix Resources in 2016.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.
The Carr Boyd project lies within the Achaean Yilgarn
Craton in a 700km belt of elongate deformed and folded
mafic, ultramafic rocks and volcanic sediments intruded
by granitoids which is referred to as the NorsemanWiluna Belt. The belt has been divided into several
geological distinct terranes, with the project area lying at
the northern end of the Gindalbie terrane (Swager,
1996).
The geology of the Carr Boyd area is dominated by the
Carr Boyd layered mafic-ultramafic intrusive complex
(CBLC). This layered intrusive covers an area of 17 km
by 7km and has intruded into an Achaean
Greenstone/Granite succession. The CBLC is
comprised of a basal sequence of dunites, which are
overlain by peridotites / pyroxenites and above that by
gabbros. The intrusion has been interpreted to have
been tilted to the east with the geometry of the intrusive
further complicated by regional deformation and folding.
The sequence has been metamorphosed to upper
greenschist to lower amphibolite facies.
Several distinctive styles of Ni and Ni-Cu mineralisation
have been identified within the CBLC. At the Carr Boyd
Rocks Nickel Mine Ni-Cu mineralisation is hosted within
several 20 - 60m diameter brecciated pipe-like bodies
that appear to be discordant to the magmatic
stratigraphy. Mineralisation is hosted by a matrix of
sulphides
(pyrrhotite,
pentlandite,
pyrite
and
chalcopyrite) within brecciated Bronzite and altered
country rock clasts.
Stratiform Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation has been identified
within the basal parts and at shallower stratigraphic
levels of the complex. The presence of Ni-Cu-PGE
mineralisation within multiple stratigraphic positions and

If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
536 shallow (0.5-1.5m) auger drill samples were
collected and are plotted on Fig 1.
This produced an extensive sample location table which
is not practical to publish.
The information is not material and does not detract from
the details presented in the attached report due to the
low-level geochemical nature of the auger soil sampling
program.
The generated results are for targeting purposes and
are not indicative that ore grade mineralisation exists
within/below the generated geochemical target zones.

intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high grade
results and longer lengths of low grade
results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and
some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in
detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.
Pathfinder vector maps were generated using Inverse
Distance gridding function in Micromine Software. The
gridding method assessed a maximum of 100 points
within a 1500 search radius window.
No cutting of grades was applied.
Vector analysis formulas are shown above each of the
geochemical maps in Figs 3 & 4.
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there should
be a clear statement to this effect (e.g.
‘down hole length, true width not
known’).
Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
The generated results are for targeting purposes and
are not indicative that ore grade mineralisation exists
within/below the generated geochemical target zones.

Commentary
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low
and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey results;
bulk samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results;
bulk
density,
groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.
The nature and scale of planned
further work (e.g. tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas
of possible extensions, including the
main geological interpretations and
future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially
sensitive.
536 auger samples plus 28 QAQC samples were
collected and each analysed for 49 elements.
This produced an extensive spread sheet which is not
practical to publish.
The results are low-level pathfinder geochemical assays
and not ore grades.
Minimum and maximum result for the key elements used
in this report are shown at Table 2.
The low-level nature of the results and in the manner
they have been presented is deemed adequate and is
not deemed misleading if not reported in their entirety.
Everything meaningful and material is disclosed in the
body of the report.
Geochemical observations are included in the report.
No bulk samples, metallurgical, bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and/or rock characteristics
test were carried out.
There are no known potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.
Further work
Reassying of pulps testing for Gold & PGE elements
within the identified target zones is now warranted.
Further historical database and field investigations are
required to validate each of these targets.
AC or RC drilling would utilised to followup final target
positions.
Deep diamond drilling is being planned for the T5
Prospect as well as DHTEM geophysical testing of the
drill holes to test
