o Results from a further 6 completed drill holes still outstanding with drilling continuing 24/7.
Marquee Resources Limited ("Marquee" or "the Company") (ASX:MQR) is pleased to announce results from the latest batch of assays at the Lone Star Copper-Gold Project, Washington State, USA ("Lone Star" or "The Project").
Results from this batch of assays have intersected wides zones (up to 150m) of significant copper mineralisation that extends well beyond the extents of historical drill hole results. The wides zones of mineralisation are interpreted to be related to sub-vertical feeder dyke that has been the conduit for upwelling magmas during rhyolite dome emplacement and mineralisation (Figure 1).
Executive Chairman Comment
Marquee Executive Chairman, Mr. Charles Thomas, commented: "It's great to see the drilling further unlock our knowledge of the Lone Star deposit and extend the envelope of mineralisation well beyond the previously defined limits. These results validate the geological model developed by the Project Geologist on-site and opens up the potential to identify further sub-vertical, mineralised dykes."
"Drilling continues 24/7 and we have a further 6-holes at the lab awaiting assays, so it's going to be an exciting few months as we work towards completing our maiden drill campaign at the Project. We know the mineralisation at Lone Star plunges to the south-east, so we expect to see the excellent results continue as we systematically work through the drilling program from north to south. Resource modelling studies continue in the background and we are highly encouraged by what the drilling has produced thus far."

▪ 4.6m @ 3.1 % Cu, 1.4 g/t Au & 11.7 g/t Ag from 108.8m

o 54.9m @ 0.7 % Cu, 0.2 g/t Au & 3.4 g/t Ag from 6.1m (LS21-021) (note: only 50% of assays received thus far) including:
▪ 7.3m @ 2.1 % Cu, 0.7 g/t Au & 19.1 g/t Ag from 6.1m
o 25.3m @ 0.7 % Cu, 0.2 g/t Au & 1.4 g/t Ag from 50.3m (LS21-024)
o 3.1m @ 2.6% Cu, 0.9 g/t Au & 8.6 g/t Ag from 108.8m and 8.2m @ 1.3 % Cu, 1.0 g/t Au & 4.8 g/t Ag from 119.5m (LS21-011)
The geological model that has been developed for the Lone Star deposit is that at least three separate rhyolite sills, with associated volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper-silver mineralisation, are fed by sub-vertical feeder dykes. The mineralised sub-vertical dykes are estimated to be approx. 20-40m wide, extend laterally for tens to hundreds of metres, and are vertically extensive. Identification of the mineralised dykes opens up the possibility ofdefining significant additional mineralisation outside the flat-lying, VMS mineralisation that has been historically identified.
High-grade gold mineralisation is discordant with high-grade copper-silver mineralisation and it is interpreted that early volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) style copper-silver mineralisation has been overprinted by later shearing, brecciation and hydrothermal gold deposition. As such, the results indicate the potential to define further high-grade, structurally controlled gold mineralisation that was not a focus of historical exploration programs.

Lone Star Diamond Drilling Program Update
To date, 25 diamond drill holes for 4664m have been completed at Lone Star (Table 1) with full assay results from the first 18 drill holes received.
Batches of core are being delivered to the laboratory on a fortnightly basis with regular results expected over the coming months. Drilling continues 24 hours a day as part of the forty-three hole, ~7,000m diamond drilling program. Drilling is expected to be completed at the Lone Star Copper-Gold Project in Q1-2022 with the phase 1 drill program designed to satisfy three key objectives:
- Validate the historical drill hole database and resource model;
- Deliver a JORC compliant mineral resource estimate; and
- Test for extensions to the historical resource.
Additionally, Mining Plus Pty Ltd have begun resource modelling studies as the Company pushes towards delivering a 2012 JORC-compliant resource in 1H-2022.
