ASX RELEASE 13 January 2016

ASX: MGV


Cue Project - Airborne Geophysical Survey Underway



Musgrave Minerals Ltd ("Musgrave" or "the Company") (ASX: MGV) is pleased to advise that field work has re-commenced on the Cue Project in the Murchison region of Western Australia. The Cue Project is a Farm- In and Joint Venture Agreement with Silver Lake Resources Limited ("Silver Lake") (ASX: SLR) where Musgrave can earn up to an 80% interest.


The Cue Project consists of the Moyagee Gold and Hollandaire Copper Resources (Table 1) and surrounding tenure in the highly prospective Murchison province of Western Australia. There is significant potential to discover new mineralisation within the project area.


Musgrave has commenced a Geotech Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM max) geophysical survey over the broader Hollandaire project area (Figure

1) to identify bedrock conductors that may be associated with new mineralisation. Approximately 400 line kilometres will be flown at 200m line spacing. The survey is expected to take approximately 7 days to complete with preliminary data available in two weeks and final products available in eight weeks.


To complement the new VTEM survey, soil geochemical sampling and surface rock chip sampling has commenced along with geological mapping in selected prospective areas.


An initial RC drill program is currently being planned and is expected to commence in early February. Approximately 10 drill holes for 1,000m will be drilled to test a combination of extensional positions to existing resources and new targets for both gold and copper mineralisation. Examples of two of the highly ranked extensional drill targets are shown in Figures 2 and 3 at the Hollandaire West and Break of Day prospects.

and Moyagee projects

Musgrave Managing Director Rob Waugh said, "The commencement of the VTEM survey and soil sampling programs are an important step in assessing the regional potential of the Cue Project. While our priority in the near term is to drill test the defined extensional targets at Hollandaire and Moyagee to build resources in these areas, the regional work is expected to define a pipeline of targets for future drilling."

JORC TABLE 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria

Explanation

Commentary

Sampling techniques

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.

Sampling is undertaken using standard industry practices including the use of duplicates and standards at regular intervals.

Reverse circulation (RC) and aircore samples were collected at 1m intervals with samples riffle split to 3- 5kg in weight. Diamond core sampling was undertaken on geological intervals.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

Soil sample co-ordinates are in UTM grid (GDA94 Z50) and have been either surveyed or measured by hand- held GPS with an accuracy of >±5 metres.

Drilling techniques

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).

A combination of aircore, RC and diamond drilling has been used by multiple companies.

Drill sample recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.

Diamond core recoveries are logged and recorded in the database. RC bulk sample weights are observed and noted.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.

Diamond core is reconstructed into continuous intervals on angle iron racks for orientation and reconciliation against core block markers. Rod and metre counts are routinely carried out by the driller.

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.

No significant sample loss or bias has been noted. Some sample loss identified in a few selected drill holes. All sample loss is recorded in database.

Logging

Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.

All geological, structural and alteration related observations are stored in the database.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.

Logging of lithology, structure, alteration, mineralisation, colour and other features of core or RC chips is undertaken on a routine 1m basis. Photography of diamond core is undertaken prior to cutting and sampling.

The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

All drill holes are logged in full on completion.

Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.

Diamond core is cut and sampled on geological intervals. A diamond core saw is used to cut the core and selected half core intervals are submitted for analysis.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.

RC and aircore samples are routinely riffle split if dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.

Drill sample preparation and base metal and precious metal analysis is undertaken by a registered laboratory. Sample preparation by dry pulverisation to 90% passing 75 micron.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.

Field QC procedures involve the use of certified reference standards, duplicates and blanks at appropriate intervals.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.

Sampling is carried out using standard protocols and QAQC procedures as per industry best practice.

Duplicate samples are inserted and routinely checked against originals.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.

Sample sizes are considered appropriate for grain size of sample material. Sample collected from full width of sample interval to ensure it is representative of samples lithology.

Quality of assay data and laboratory tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.

Drill sample analysis is undertaken by a registered laboratory, multi element analysis by acid digest and ICP-OES and ICP-MS to acceptable detection limits.

Standard 40g Fire Assay analysis is undertaken for gold.


Internal certified laboratory QAQC is undertaken including check samples, blanks and internal standards.


For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.

No geophysical tools were used to estimate mineral or element percentages.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.

Standards, duplicates, blanks, and repeats are utilised as a standard procedure. Certified reference materials that are relevant to the type and style of mineralisation targeted are inserted at regular intervals.

Verification of sampling and assaying

The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.

Samples are verified by the geologist before importing into the main database (Datashed).

The use of twinned holes.

Few twin holes have been drilled.

Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.

Primary data is collected using a standard set of templates. Geological sample logging is undertaken on one metre intervals for all RC drilling and geological intervals for diamond drilling with colour, structure, alteration and lithology recorded for each interval. Data is verified before loading to the database. Geological logging of all samples is undertaken.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

No adjustments or calibrations are made to any assay data reported.

Location of data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.

All maps and locations are in UTM grid (GDA94 Z50) and have been surveyed or measured by hand-held GPS with an accuracy of >±5 metres.

Down hole surveys are undertaken at nominal 30m intervals using a digital down hole camera and spear.

Specification of the grid system used.

Drill hole co-ordinates are in UTM grid (GDA94 Z50) and commonly plotted using local grid reference.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

Drill hole collars and RL's are surveyed by qualified surveyors in most instances.

Data spacing and distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

Variable drill hole spacings are used to adequately test targets.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Existing drill hole spacings are variable and at Lena vary from 20m x 20m to 40m x 40m and to 80m x 80m at depth. The nominal drill hole spacing at Hollandaire is 25m x 25m. These spacings identify sufficient continuity to support the definition of Mineral Resource and Reserves under the classification applied under the 2012 and 2014 JORC Code.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

No sample compositing has been undertaken within ore zones.

Orientation of data in relation to geological structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.

Drilling is designed to cross the mineralisation as close to perpendicular as possible.


Most drill holes are designed at a dip of approximately 60 degrees, however, the Lena mineralisation dips at

~85 degrees and the Hollandaire mineralisation dips at

~35 degrees.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.

No orientation based sampling bias is known at this time.

Sample security

The measures taken to ensure sample security.

Chain of custody is managed by internal staff. Drill samples are stored on site and transported by a licenced reputable transport company to a registered laboratory in Perth. When at the laboratory samples are stored in a locked yard before being processed and tracked through preparation and analysis.

Audits or reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

No external audits or reviews of modelling techniques and data have been undertaken.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria

Explanation

Commentary

Mineral tenement and land tenure status

Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings.

The primary tenement holder is Silver Lake Resources Ltd and Cue Minerals Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Silver Lake Resources Ltd). Musgrave minerals commenced a Farm-In and Joint Venture on the project on 24 November 2015 (see MGV ASX announcement 25 November 2015: "Musgrave Secures Advanced Gold and Copper Project". All drilling and soil sampling is within the Cue project tenements (Lena is M21/106 and Hollandaire E20/699) as outlined in the Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement.

The tenements are subject to standard Native Title heritage agreements and state royalties. Third party royalties are present on some individual tenements.

The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

The tenements are in good standing and no known impediments exist.

Exploration done by other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

Historical drilling, soil sampling and geophysical surveys have been undertaken in different areas on the tenements by third parties.

Geology

Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

Geology comprises typical Archaean Yilgarn greenstone belt lithologies and granitic intrusives.

Two main styles of mineralisation are present, typical Yilgarn Archaean lode gold and volcanic massive sulphide (VMS) base metal and gold mineralisation.

Drill hole Information

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 metres) of the drill hole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception depth hole length.

All drill hole information has previously been reported.

Data aggregation methods

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.

No new exploration data is reported in this release.

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.

No new exploration results are reported in this release.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.

No new exploration data is reported in this release.

Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths

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').

No new exploration data is reported in this release.

Diagrams

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.

No new exploration data is reported in this release. Some diagrams referencing historical data can be found in the body of this report.

Balanced reporting

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.

No new exploration data is reported in this release.

Other substantive exploration data

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 new exploration data is reported in this release.


All material results from geochemical and geophysical surveys and drilling related to these prospects has been reported or disclosed previously.

Further work

The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

A range of exploration techniques will be considered to progress exploration including additional 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.
