ASX/MEDIA RELEASE

Multiple priority base metal targets

identified at Pincunah

10 EM conductive zones identified from highly successful maiden helicopter EM program;

Plus, RC drilling in progress to follow up the Valley of the Gossans VMS discovery

Highlights

  • Maiden helicopter EM survey completed over Trek's 100%-owned Pincunah Project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia with 517-line kms flown.
  • Multiple high-priority conductive zones defined for follow-up, including:
    • 5 hosted in volcanic rocks identified as high priority Cu-Zn-Pb sulphide VMS drill targets, including one along strike from Valley of the Gossans;
    • 5 targets identified in mafic-ultramafic intrusive rocks as Ni-Cu sulphide targets plus a further 2 targets identified as Cu-Au targets.
  • RC drilling in progress at Valley of the Gossans, following up on encouraging first pass drilling earlier this year, and a chargeability anomaly detected with ground IP.

Trek Metals Limited (ASX: TKM) is pleased to advise that it has identified multiple high-priority base metal targets across its 100%-ownedPincunah Project in the Pilbara region of WA following the completion of a highly successful maiden helicopter-borne electromagnetic (EM) survey.

The preliminary data and results interpreted from the high-resolution XciteTM EM and magnetic survey have further reinforced the prospectivity of the Pincunah Project for significant new discoveries, particularly in light of recent encouragement from the emerging Valley of the Gossans VMS system.

The survey has defined 10 high priority zones (see Table 1 & Figure 2) with anomalous conductive responses that represent compelling volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper-zinc-lead (Cu- Zn-Pb), magmatic nickel-copper(Ni-Cu) and intrusive-relatedcopper-gold(Cu-Au) targets.

Trek Chief Executive Derek Marshall said: "We are very encouraged by the results of what is the first-ever EM survey to be conducted over this highly prospective and yet remarkably under- explored ground package at Pincunah. Preliminary results and interpretation have revealed a number of compelling base metal targets.

"The recently discovered copper-zinc mineralisation observed at Valley of the Gossans is typical of a VMS system and is related to massive sulphides. The best way to remotely detect massive sulphides is with EM, and utilising NRG's XciteTM system we have defined numerous conductive responses across the project area."

"Several of the targets are highly encouraging. One group (A) is located directly along strike from Valley of the Gossans, and another (B) consists of a strong bedrock response across four adjacent flight lines, outlining a very compelling VMS target extending over a strike length of 600m.

"We have secured a drill rig which is currently following up the highly encouraging base metal mineralisation defined in our maiden drilling at Valley of the Gossans earlier this year, plus we are testing a chargeability anomaly centrally located at the Valley of the Gossans drill area.

"A down-hole EM crew has also been locked in to conduct a maiden down-hole EM survey at Valley of the Gossans. With so many exploration activities advancing in parallel, this is an exciting time for Trek shareholders."

The helicopter-borne EM program was designed to cover both the Valley of the Gossans and the greater Pincunah Project area (Figure 2) to define significant conductive bodies related to massive sulphide mineralisation.

The highest priority targets defined are:

  • Anomaly A (Table 1 & Figure 2) which is interpreted to sit within the same stratigraphic horizon along strike from the recently discovered VMS base metal system at Valley of the Gossans.
  • Anomaly B (Table 1 & Figures 2 & 3) which occurs as a cohesive multi-lineconductive zone over 600m strike length sitting at the base of the mapped volcanic Coucal Formation(https://asud.ga.gov.au/search-stratigraphic-units/results/32211).

Figure 3: Preliminary Xcite profile line data showing strong conductive anomalism into late time (red-pink) channels from anomaly "B" at Honeyeater North, indicative of a strong bedrock source, representing a priority VMS target

  • Anomaly F (Table 1 & Figure 2) has a consecutive response over 1.2km of strike within Euro Basalt. Possibly stratigraphic, however the strong double peak anomalism increasing in amplitude towards the centre of anomaly makes this a high priority target.

Trek's maiden drilling earlier this year delivered highly encouraging results at Valley of the Gossans (VOG), highlighting the potential for a large-scale VMS base metal system (refer ASX: TKM 13th October 2021).

The current drilling program (Figure 4) comprises a program of approximately 900m of Reverse Circulation drilling to test the recently defined base metal mineralised stratigraphy, as well as a chargeability anomaly detected in a ground Induced Polarisation survey (refer ASX: TKM 22nd April 2021).

Given the success of Trek's previous soil sampling program in defining the significant multi-element anomaly that has proven to be related to a large VMS system, the Company has decided to extend the soils coverage along strike to define the extent of the system (Figure 5).

This work has recently been completed with geochemical assay results now pending.
