Tungsten Discovery at Western Queen Confirmed

Rumble Resources Limited (ASX: RTR) (“Rumble” or “the Firm”) is happy to announce the return of great high-grade tungsten assays from chosen pulp samples of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling accomplished by the Firm in 2021. The assays verify a probably vital tungsten discovery that’s spatially related to the identified gold sources on the Western Queen Gold Undertaking.

Highlights

• Tungsten assays obtained from chosen drill pulp samples from seven holes drilled in 2021 have confirmed a probably vital high-grade tungsten discovery at Western Queen
• Important assay intersections embody:
  • 12m @ 0.56% WO₃ and 0.46g/t Au from 69m (WQRC032)
    • together with 2m @ 2.48% WO₃ and 0.12g/t Au from 70m
  • 3m @ 0.69% WO₃ from 90m and 2m @ 1.55% WO₃ from 159m (WQRC101)
  • 12m @ 0.34% WO₃ and three.22g/t Au from 202m (WQRC178)
    • together with 7m @ 0.49% WO₃ and 4.71g/t Au from 206m
  • 2m @ 0.75% WO₃ and 0.48g/t Au from 81m (WQRC019)
• The pulp assays complement the exceptionally high-grade intersection in just lately reported drill gap WQDD013¹:
  • 4.05m @ 4.58% WO₃, 0.72 g/t Au from 174.85m; together with
  • 2.05m @ 8.71% WO₃, 1.38 g/t Au from 176.85m; and
  • 0.65m @ 18.35% WO₃, 2.97 g/t Au from 176.85m
• These new assays are largely coincident with a steady tungsten anomaly outlined over a 2km space outlined from drillhole XRF information and parallel the Western Queen Shear and identified high-grade gold mineralisation
• The width and grade tenor of great tungsten assays obtained at Western Queen to this point counsel that Western Queen might host a big tungsten useful resource
• Overview of the Firm’s pXRF analytical information has proven some 87 reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drill (DD) holes accomplished by Rumble reported >500ppm W
• The Firm now plans to additional analyse historic drilling together with RC drill pulps and a considerable diamond core library held in storage for tungsten, which is able to possible represent the majority of the information required to categorise an preliminary useful resource estimate, if one may be decided
• Tungsten is a crucial and strategic steel given its relative shortage, provide danger, defence purposes and restricted substitution choices

Peter Harold, Managing Director and CEO commented“the invention of tungsten at Western Queen has demonstrated the large optionality that we’ve in our intensive tenement portfolio. The assay outcomes from the 2021 drill pulp samples have confirmed that we’ve made a big tungsten discovery at Western Queen. That is sensible work by our exploration crew and we stay up for receiving additional assays from the substantial quantity of present drill core and pulps. Greatest case situation, constructive outcomes from this future evaluation might permit us to calculate a useful resource with none further drilling.

While the tungsten is a superb new discovery, we have already got substantial gold sources at Western Queen on a granted Mining Leases inside trucking distance of numerous mills. Our main focus is subsequently to monetise these sources within the close to time period.”

Western Queen Tungsten Discovery

Tungsten (W) laboratory assays have been obtained for chosen pulp samples from an preliminary seven holes of earlier RC drilling accomplished by the Firm in 2021 as a part of the Western Queen gold useful resource drill program. The preliminary seven holes had been chosen primarily based on acceptable spatial protection throughout the 900m strike size of excessive tenor

>1000ppm W in pXRF (refer Determine 1) and having at the very least one pattern within the gap higher than 5000ppm W within the pXRF database.

Important intersections from the pulp samples embody 12m @ 0.56% WO₃, 0.46g/t Au from 69m, with the upper grade part of 2m @ 2.48% WO₃ and 0.12g/t Au from 70m in WQRC032, 12m @ 0.34% WO₃ and three.22g/t Au from 202m, with the next grade part of 7m @ 0.49% WO₃ and 4.71g/t Au from 206m in WQRC178, 9m @ 0.22% WO₃ plus 0.35g/t Au from 76m with the next grade part of 2m @ 0.75% WO₃ and 0.48g/t Au from 81m in WQRC178 and 5m @ 0.31% WO₃, 0.31g/t Au from 220m in WQRC176( consult with Determine 1 and Desk 1).

The numerous intersections from the seven holes of pulp samples complement the beforehand reported tungsten mineralisation inside drillhole WQDD013 (Confer with Rumble Assets Restricted ASX announcement Excessive-grade Tungsten Discovery at Western Queen 6 August 2024) which returned a spectacular intersection of 4.05m @ 4.58% WO₃, 0.72 g/t Au from 174.85m; together with 2.05m @ 8.71% WO₃, 1.38 g/t Au from 176.85m; together with 0.65m @ 18.35% WO₃, 2.97 g/t Au from 176.85m(consult with Determine 2).

Determine 1 – Western Queen Undertaking – Plan highlighting contoured most pXRF W in drill holes and placement and intercepts of great W intersections from pulp samples and WQDD013.

Encouragingly, all seven holes of pulps samples returned vital intercepts grading higher than 0.1% WO₃. Whereas geological investigations are preliminary, the tungsten mineralisation accommodates giant aggregates of scheelite grains (as much as 5mm) occurring parallel to the primary foliation pattern. The mineralisation is actually a number of scheelite-pyroxene (tremolite)+/-gold endoskarn zones related to the Western Queen orogenic shear zone (host to gold mineralisation) inside dominant Archaean mafic amphibolite lithologies. Tungsten mineralisation happens spatially proximal to gold mineralisation, nonetheless high-grade tungsten mineralisation doesn’t all the time corelate with high-grade gold mineralisation The skarn growth is believed to have been a later stage to the primary gold occasion at Western Queen.
