Laramide releases further assay results from successful 2024 drill campaign at Westmoreland Project, Queensland, Australia

• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
• 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 (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

• Diamond drill holes utilised HQ3 (triple tube 61mm Ø) and NQ (standard tube drilling, 47.6mm Ø) drill core sizes  
• Core loss was predominantly restricted to the top two meters from surface. 
• Core samples are ½ cut using core saw with ½ sample being retain for future reference or QAQC. 
• Generally, samples are taken at 1m intervals but in places sampling was defined by geological contact.  
• Samples are sent to ALS Laboratories Mt Isa or Townsville for Au assay via 50g fire assay with AA Finish (method Au-AA26), and multi-element assay via ICP-MS (ME-MS61) methods considered industry standard. Any additional sampling noted has been assayed via Au-AA23 to determine Au only zones.
• High radioactivity samples were sent by Mt Isa prep lab to ALS Perth with any ore grade U analysed via XRF-30 method. 
• Certified QA/QC standards, blanks, field, and lab duplicates were inserted at nominal 1:20 or better intervals with samples in conjunction with laboratory duplicates and internal QA/QC 
• All sampling, assay and QA/QC procedures considered industry standard and/or best practice and appropriate for the style of mineralisation 

RC Drilling
Huarabagoo-Junnagunna Link

• RC drilling techniques returned samples through a 75-25 riffle splitter setup with sample return routinely collected in 1m intervals approximating 20-30kg of sample. 1m interval RC samples were homogenized and collected by a riffle splitter to produce a representative 3-5kg sub-sample. Where samples exceeded 5kg, these were subset to an acceptable sample size.
• Across all drilling sampling is guided by geology, visual estimation of mineralisation & radioactivity defined by: 
• >350cps utilising handheld RS-125 SUPER-spec unit. 
• >350cps utilising the Auslog W450-1 Downhole gamma probe. 
• > 350 cps utilising the Reflex EZ-Gamma Downhole Gamma Probe. 
• Visual fluorescent mineralisation observed under UV light. 

• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. 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.).

• HQ3 DD core size includes the use of triple tube to ensure maximum sample recovery and core preservation to a maximum depth of 8.2m, and NQ Standard drilling was implemented to a maximum of 241.6m.
• Sample recovery was overall excellent however zones of broken ground conditions limited full recovery and orientation in some zones.

• 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.

• HQ3 and NQ core are used, with careful drilling techniques, appropriate product use and short runs in broken ground to ensure maximum recovery and core preservation.
• Recovery is carefully measured each core run at the rig, then using drillers blocks and double checking via on ground/core shed measurement through standard meter mark up and geotechnical logging (run recovery, breaks per meter, RQD etc.)
• All data is continuously recorded and entered into a managed, cloud-based database (MXDeposit).
• Samples are half (HQ and NQ) split via diamond core saw on site, apexing mineralisation to ensure representative sampling where possible.
• Field cut duplicate samples are submitted as quarter cut samples, in these cases ½ core has been retained.
• The sample size and sampling techniques are considered appropriate and industry standard practice for the style of mineralisation

• Tenements are in excellent standing
• Existing environmental surveys conducted to date have not identified any impediments to the project
• Existing cultural heritage surveys conducted to date have identified areas defined as exclusion zones until further surveys and negotiations are conducted

• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

• The project has been subject to exploration by a number of companies including historic operators in the early 1960 and 1970s (Queensland Mines Ltd) and several other companies throughout the 1980s and 1990s including CRA/Rio Tinto. Recent exploration has consisted of significant resource definition drilling during the period of Tackle’s tenure 2005 – present

• Deposit type, geological setting, and style of mineralisation.

• The Westmoreland region lies within the Palaeoproterozoic Murphy Tectonic Ridge, which separates the Palaeoproterozoic Mt Isa Inlier from the Mesoproterozoic McArthur Basin and the flanking Neoproterozoic South Nicholson Basin.
• The oldest rocks exposed in the area are early Proterozoic sediments, volcanics and intrusives, deformed and regionally metamorphosed before 1875 Ma. These Murphy Metamorphics (Yates et al., 1962) are represented mainly by phyllitic to schistose metasediments and quartzite. They are overlain by two Proterozoic cover sequences laid down after the early deformation and metamorphism of the basement and before a period of significant tectonism, which began at about 1620 Ma.
• The oldest cover sequence is the Cliffdale Volcanics unit, which unconformably overlies the Murphy Metamorphics. The Cliffdale Volcanics contain over 4000m thickness of volcanics of probably subaerial origin, more than half of which consists of crystal-rich ignimbrites with phenocrysts of quartz and feldspar. The remainder is rhyolite lavas, some of which are flow banded. The ignimbrites are more common in the lower part of the sequence, with the Billicumidjii Rhyolite Member occurring towards the top.
• The Cliffdale Volcanics are comagmatic with the Nicholson Granite, and together they comprise the Nicholson Suite. SHRIMP dating of both the Nicholson Granite and the Cliffdale Volcanics gave an age of 1850 Ma (Scott et al., 1997).
• Unconformably overlying the Nicholson Suite is the Tawallah Group (Yates et al., 1962). This is the oldest segment of the southern McArthur Basin. The base is a sequence of conglomerates and sandstones comprising the Westmoreland Conglomerate (Carter et al., 1958). The conglomerates thin out to the southeast and are in turn conformably overlain by the Seigal Volcanics (Grimes & Sweet, 1979), an andesitic to a basic sequence containing interbedded agglomerates, tuffs, and sandstones. Together these units comprise about two-thirds of the total thickness of the Tawallah Group. In turn, the volcanics are overlain by the McDermott Formation, the Sly Creek Sandstone, the Aquarium Formation, and the Settlement Creek Volcanics.
• Uranium mineralisation has been recognised in the Westmoreland region in numerous structural and stratigraphic positions. These include:
• associated with faults and fractures in Murphy Metamorphics;
• in shear zones in the Cliffdale Volcanics near the Westmoreland Conglomerate unconformity;
• at the reverse-faulted contact between Cliffdale Volcanics and Westmoreland Conglomerate;
• within Westmoreland Conglomerate about 50m above its base;
• in Westmoreland Conglomerate in close proximity to the overlying Seigal Volcanics;
• in association with mafic dykes and sills; and
• in shear zones within the Seigal Volcanics.

• The most important uranium deposits occur on the northern dip slope of the Westmoreland Conglomerate in situation five above. The deposits represent thicker and higher-grade concentrations of trace uranium mineralisation than is regionally common beneath the Seigal Volcanics – Westmoreland Conglomerate contact and along the flanks of the Redtree dyke zone. Mineralisation in other settings is only present in trace amounts (Rheinberger et al., 1998).
• The deposits are associated with an altered basic dyke system intruded along faults. Mineralisation is present in both the sandstones and dyke rocks. To the north, the Westmoreland Conglomerate is overlain by the Seigal Volcanics under Recent alluvial cover.

• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes:
  • easting and northing of the drill hole collar
  • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in meters) of the drill hole collar
  • dip and azimuth of the hole
  • down hole length and interception depth
  • hole length.
• If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

• All relevant drill hole information including locations and significant intercepts are provided in tables within this document.
• Drilling is reporting of exploration results only.

• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
• Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.
• The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.

• Generally, sampling was conducted at 1m intervals, but in places, sampling was defined by geological contact.  
• Where samples cut to geological contact were <1m it is noted. 
• Intervals were aggregated using weighted average length.  
• Mineralisation compositing for initial interpretation used a 1m minimum width, 100ppm U3O8 grade and 2m maximum internal dilution in conjunction with structure and geological interpretation.  Au is reported with no cut-off internal within U3O8 intercept. Included high grade intercepts are above 1000 ppm U3O8 and 0.1 g/t Au.

Where expressed in Table 2:

• # intercepts are above >1% U3O8
• Table 3 contains gold composites and are reported where they overlap and are within or outside of U significant intercepts. These composites are ran using cut-offs of  0.1 g/t Au, 0.5g/t Au and 1g/t Au, a minimum length of 0.3m and maximum internal dilution of 1m. # intercepts are above 20g/t Au. Data from intervals are presented in Table 2 & Table 3

No metal equivalents are calculated. 

• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.
• If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
• If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’).

• All drilling is optimally oriented to ensure the most appropriate and most perpendicular intersection angle to mineralisation as possible with respect to available drilling locations  
• All reported results are down-hole lengths, with the majority of intersections being between 75-95% of estimated true widths. 

• Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

• Map present drilling locations relative to historical drilling and in context of overall project.
• Cross sections included present assay data down hole highlight basic geology and zones of currently interpreted mineralisation using a combination of geological logging and qualitative downhole gamma data.

• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

• All drillhole and assay data from Westmoreland drilling to the time of update have been reported and can be accessed via www.sedar.com.
• All results reported within this document relate to recent drilling activities and are represented as mineralised intervals with U3O8 values exceeding 100ppm.
• Mineralisation compositing for initial interpretation used a 1m minimum width, 100ppm U3O8 grade and 2m maximum internal dilution in conjunction with structure and geological interpretation.  Au is reported with no cut-off internal within U3O8 intercept. Included high grade intercepts are above 1000 ppm U3O8 and 0.1 g/t Au.

Where expressed in Table 2:

• # intercepts are above >1% U3O8
• Table 3 contains gold composites and are reported where they overlap and are within or outside of U significant intercepts.

• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.

• No other substantive data is available

• The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
• Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.
