AIRCORE DRILLING RESULTS Weednanna East Prospect, Wilcherry Project JV

The Board of Alliance Resources Ltd (Alliance) is pleased to announce the results of aircore drilling for gold at Weednanna East and proximal to the Weednanna Gold Deposit, part of the Wilcherry Project Joint Venture between Alliance (79.01%) and Tyranna Resources Ltd (20.99%).

Eighty five (85) aircore drillholes were completed for 3,101 metres in the previous quarter as a first pass test to extend known gold in regolith anomalism at Weednanna East.

This drilling program consisted of four lines of 50m x 200m spaced holes designed to test around the existing gold in soil and regolith anomalism, and extend coverage to the west of existing RAB drilling at Weednanna East to cover a series of northwest striking faults.

All holes were drilled vertically to blade refusal.

One metre scoop assay results have now been received.

Projects:

Four holes returned greater than 100 ppb gold with a best result of:

Wilcherry JV, SA (79.01%): gold and base metals

Gundockerta Sth, WA (100%): gold-nickel

Nepean South, WA (100%): gold-nickel

  • 2m @ 1.31 g/t gold from 49m in 18WDAC078

The zone of discontinuous >100ppb gold anomalism extends over 1,000m and is open in the north.

Refer Figure 1 and Table 1.

The majority of the gold anomalism has a northeast trend and is located towards the end of hole, near the saprolite / saprock boundary. Given the iron-poor felsic nature of these host rocks, this is where the gold in regolith anomalism is expected to concentrate.

The magnitude and distribution of gold in the regolith may be indicative of primary gold mineralisation and further drilling is warranted to better define the gold in regolith anomalies before bedrock drill testing.

Alliance Managing Director Steve Johnston said "Weednanna East is the first regional gold exploration target to be tested proximal to the Weednanna gold deposit. We are very encouraged by these aircore drilling results which indicate to us the prospectivity of the district."

About Alliance

Alliance Resources Ltd is an Australian gold and base metals exploration company with projects in South Australia and Western Australia.

The Company's flagship project is the Wilcherry Project Joint Venture (Alliance 79.01%), located within the southern part of the Gawler Craton in the northern Eyre Peninsula of South Australia.

On 6 September 2018, Alliance announced a maiden Mineral Resource estimate for the Weednanna Gold Deposit, part of the Wilcherry Project, of 1.097 Mt grading 5.1 g/t gold for 181,000 oz gold.

There is significant potential to increase the size of this Mineral Resource with further drilling as the majority of gold shoots comprising this mineral resource are open in at least one direction.

Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria

JORC Code explanation

Commentary

Sampling techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

Sample type was drill cuttings from aircore (AC) drilling of vertical holes to blade refusal.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

Industry standard practice has been applied on site to ensure sample representivity. The laboratory has applied appropriate QA-QC to sample preparation and appropriate calibration/QA-QC to analytical instruments.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg. 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m samples from which 3kg was pulverised to produce a 30g charge for fire assay'

AC drilling was used to obtain 1m samples down hole from which 3kg was pulverised to produce a 50g charge for fire assay with AAS finish.

Drilling techniques

Drill type (eg. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (eg. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).

AC drilling is a reverse circulation drilling technique using a 4½" diameter drill (blade) bit.

Drill sample recovery

Method recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.

Samples were logged and sample recovery estimated on site by a geologist.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.

The majority of drilling was dry and the sample recovery 100%.

Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

Dry AC samples have a low potential for sample bias. Metallurgical test work at the adjacent Weednanna gold deposit indicates the gold is fine-grained and well distributed across all size fractions with a low potential for sample bias.

Logging

Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.

Samples were logged by a geologist for lithology, minerals, colour, weathering, alteration and magnetic susceptibility.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography.

Sample logging is qualitative (e.g. colour) and quantitative (e.g. % minerals) in nature depending on the feature being logged.

The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

All holes were logged from start to finish.

Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.

No applicable.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.

One metre AC samples were collected at the drilling rig in plastic bags mounted directly below the cyclone. Approximately 3kg sub-samples were scoop sampled for analysis. The majority of samples were dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.

Sample preparation and analysis was carried out by ALS in Perth and is considered appropriate.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximize representivity of samples.

Company submitted standards and blanks were inserted during the drilling program. These totalled 4% of all samples submitted.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.

The sampling measures described above ensured the sampling was representative of the in-situ material.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.

The samples sizes are considered appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.

Quality of assay data and laboratory tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.

Sample preparation consisted of drying, crushing and pulverising <3kg samples to 85-90% passing - 75μm. Gold assaying used a 50g charge with AAS finish. Fire assay is considered to be a total digestion technique for gold.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibration factors applied and their deviation, etc.

Not applicable.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie. lack of bias) and precision have

At ALS each fire (usually 84 pots) contains one blank and a minimum of two standards and three replicates to monitor accuracy and precision of results from the individual fire.
