Locksley Resources Limited is pleased to provide an update on activities at the Tottenham Project in central New South Wales.
HeliTEM Survey
A 1,066.2 line km helicopter borne magnetic and electromagnetic, (HeliTEM), survey has been completed over parts of EL6592, EL9307 and all of EL8384 by Xcalibur Multiphysics. These surveys have been highly effective in directly detecting copper orebodies in the region such as at the Tritton Mine and the Constellation Deposit (Aeris Resources Ltd).
Primary aims of the survey are to:
- Explore the area under cover between the Tottenham Deposits and the CZ Deposit
- Explore the area in the core of the Orange Plains Anticline, about the Lacy's Tank copper occurrence
- Test line data over previously identified anomalies in the Orange Plains - Effies Ace area and
- Provide further data on untested anomalies in the Ace Mine and Underlay Mine areas.
A brief examination of the raw data shows that anomalies are present, but these need to be filtered for the effects of man-made features and conductive overburden such as saline groundwater. Data compilation and processing is expected to take 4 to 7 weeks.

Drill Core Sampling
Multiple historic drill holes from Tottenham are stored at the WB Clarke Geoscience Centre in Western Sydney. Diamond core from the Jimmy Woodser and Larkings Prospects have been logged and additional sampling taken. Assay results are expected to be received in 4 to 6 weeks.
Two diamond drill holes from the Jimmy Woodser Prospect, (TH296D550, TH297.50D504) have been logged and sampled. Historically, both holes report intervals of moderate grade copper up to 1% Cu with no previous gold assays.
Two diamond holes from the Larkings Prospect, (L-DDH1,L-DDH2), have been logged and additional sampling taken for assay. Both of these 1968 holes were poorly sampled with no previous gold assays. L-DDH1 showed little sign of mineralisation. L-DDH2 showed an interval of weak to moderate oxide copper mineralisation from 37m to 45.7m and sulphide mineralisation from 83m to 88m.
Rock Chip Sampling
Results have been received for 53 rock chip samples from EL6592. Anomalous to ore grade results were returned from several areas. Results are presented in the attached table.
Orange Plains
A single scout sample of ferruginised psammite float from ~270m north of the Orange Plains core yard returned anomalous values of 0.22ppm Au, 8ppm Ag, 326ppm Cu, 28ppm Mo. This area is well into the footwall of the Orange Plains deposit, in an area of no previous work.
Larkings
3 samples were collected about a dozer costean and shaft at the Larkings Prospect. Gossanous psammites returned values up to 0.1ppm Au, 1ppm Ag, 452ppm Cu, 31% Fe.
Trabratong Crossing Rd Road Base Quarry
4 samples of quartz veined metasediment were collected from a road base quarry in the east of EL6592. This area of outcrop is ~500m east of a prospective horizon for mineralisation. No anomalous results were returned.
Jimmy Woodser
At Jimmy Woodser, recent clearing has allowed quartz - magnetite rocks and minor gossan to be traced for 900m to the NNE from the old workings. This zone is up dip of a historic EM conductor plate that is intended to be tested by RC drilling. 3 areas of anomalous samples were detected:
- South shaft area with values to 0.38ppm Au, 2ppm Ag, 0.81% Cu, 0.15% Zn
- North Shaft (Main Shaft) area with values to 0.42ppm Au, 3ppm Ag, 1.13% Cu, 0.16% Zn
- A former railway cutting with values to 0.14ppm Au, 0.51% Cu, 0.12% Zn
Effies Ace
At Effies Ace, multiple shafts, pits and costeans trace a gossan horizon for ~300m before being obscured by cover to the west. Ore grade copper results were returned from multiple samples with values to 2.2% Cu. Gold values are consistently in the range of 0.5ppm Au to 1.4ppm Au. Silver values are elevated with up 32ppm Ag. Zinc values are also elevated with up to 0.4% Zn. The rock chips outline 2 separate mineralised horizons at surface. (See attached plan)

Next Steps
Now that a resource base of 9.86Mt @ 0.72% Cu, 0.22g/t Au has been established at the Tottenham Project efforts are being directed towards:
- expanding the existing resources at Mount Royal - Orange Plains and Carolina
- exploration of the numerous historic deposits to locate additional resources
- tenement wide exploration to locate new deposits
- potential acquisition of nearby stranded resources
Planned exploration drilling of the Burdenda area remains on hold due to boggy ground conditions. It is hoped that the area will be dry enough to consider drilling in 2 weeks.
The Board of Directors of Locksley Resources Limited authorised the release of this announcement.
