Multiple New High-Grade Feeder Targets Defined Within And Along Strike Of The Tonka-Navajoh Deposit

Rumble Resources Limited (ASX: RTR) (“Rumble” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the latest round of high- grade Zn-Pb RC drilling results from the Tonka Prospect, plus the delineation of multiple new gravity low targets which potentially may represent new high-grade feeder faults within the 11km Tonka-Navajoh mineralised footprint and over 9km of drill untested strike southeast of Tonka-Navajoh deposit (Navajoh Southeast Trend). The new high priority targets were interpreted following recently completed soil geochemical and airborne gravity gradiometer surveys at the Earaheedy Project, located 110km north of Wiluna, Western Australia.


Geochemistry and Airborne Gravity – Multiple New Feeder Targets

  • Surface geochemistry and airborne gravity surveys have defined multiple high- grade feeder zone targets at Tonka-Navajoh Prospects and the newly defined Navajoh Southeast Trend
  • Interpretation of the recent airborne gravity survey has highlighted a strong association between gravity lows and higher-grade Zn-Pb feeder faults at the Tonka and Navajoh Prospects

Navajoh Southeast Trend E69/3787 (100% RTR) – 9kms of untested strike

  • Surface geochemistry along the Navajoh Southeast Trend returned strong continuity of Zn-Pb in soil anomalism over 9km of untested strike
  • Airborne gravity highlighted numerous gravity low targets that potentially represent multiple new high grade feeder faults along the 9km of strike
  • These exciting new feeder targets are planned to be drill tested in early 2023

Tonka-Navajoh Prospect – over 11kms of Zn-Pb mineralisation defined

  • Recent drilling has now extended the strike of the Tonka-Navajoh mineralisation to over 11km; a 37% increase in length.
  • Within this large mineralised footprint numerous gravity low targets that could represent new high grade feeder faults or extensions to existing feeder faults have been identified

RC Drilling - Tonka-Navajoh

  • The Tonka-Navajoh Zn-Pb mineralised footprint is over 11km along strike and up to 3km cross strike and remains open along strike and down dip
  • The Colorado Feeder Fault continues to deliver high-grade results including:
    • 8m @ 5.64% Zn + Pb from 213m (EHRC562)
      • Inc 3m @ 11.94 % Zn + Pb from 214m
    • 8m @ 3.90% Zn + Pb from 212m (EHRC556)
      • Inc 2m @ 7.13% Zn + Pb from 214m
    • 3m @ 7.08% Zn + Pb from 129m (EHRC551)
  • A newly defined mineralised feeder structure, 800m northwest of the Colorado Feeder Fault has returned:
    • 5m @ 5.38% Zn + Pb from 97m (EHRC580)
  • The Magazine Feeder Fault has likewise delivered further high-grade results including:
    • 8m @ 3.34% Zn + Pb from 58m (EHRC565)
      • Inc 4m @ 5.60% Zn + Pb from 58m
    • 5m @ 3.85% Zn + Pb from 85m (EHRC563)
      • Inc 3m @ 6.00% Zn + Pb from 85m
Geochemical and Geophysical Exploration – Potential New Targets

Soil Geochemistry – Navajoh Southeast Trend - Image 1

Broad spaced partial leach sampling on a 1000m by 200m pattern completed southeast of Navajoh (Navajoh Southeast Trend) in conjunction with previous orientation partial leach sampling (same methodology) at the Navajoh Deposit, has delineated strong continuity of Zn–Pb anomalism over a strike of some 11 km.

The anomalism is inferred to represent the up-dip position of the northeast shallow dipping mineralised Navajoh Unconformity which hosts the Tonka-Navajoh and Chinook Zn-Pb deposits.

Of significance, the tenor of Zn-Pb anomalism in soils over the 9km Navajoh Southeast trend is equivalent or higher than the up-dip tenor over the already drill defined Navajoh Deposit.

The depth of cover (including late lacustrine sediments) is estimated to be 10 to 20m under the recently defined Zn- Pb soil anomalism, hence the overall lower elemental response. However, the partial leach sampling and assaying methodology was successful in delineating the up-dip position of the mineralised unconformity.

Northern Territory Finalises Mine Legacy Remediation Program

The Northern Territory's government has finalised a AU$5.5 million six month mine legacy remediation program for sites located in the Tennant Creek area, a January 9 press release states.

The next phase will involve Alice Springs, where further works are scheduled for later this year.

“Mining has been an integral part of the Northern Territory’s history for more than 150 years, but historical mining activities have left behind a range of legacy features such as open shafts, degraded infrastructure, tailings dams, and waste rock dumps,” said Gerard Maley, deputy chief minister and minister for mining and energy.

Trudeau Resigns, Canadian and US Markets React

Canadian markets showed mixed reactions following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s resignation.

The S&P/TSX Composite Index (INDEXTSI:OSPTX) closed lower on Monday (January 6), while the Canadian dollar gained strength against the US dollar, reflecting diverging investor sentiment.

The index dropped by 142.14 points to settle at 24,995.93, marking a 0.57 percent decline from its starting point for the day. Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar rose to 69.7 cents US, reaching a near three week high.
