  • High priority targets at Tyrannus (assays received);
  • Hydra (assays received);
  • Estera (high grade Au assays received);
  • Stirling Well extension;
  • Mt Stirling / Viserion extension (in-progress); and

RC drilling continues to advance testing the high priority shallow portion of the Mt Stirling-Viserion gold deposit in order to achieve an increase in the JORC Code 'Indicated' category resource (~880m strike x ~125m depth) from surface with 9 drill holes completed for 740m.

An additional ~5,000m of AV drilling is planned to vector and expand the footprint of high-ranked regional Au (gold); As (arsenic); multi-element and structural targets across the Stirling Gold Project.

As has already been announced to the market, a key priority and goal of the current campaign is to upgrade the confidence level of a significant portion of the Mt Stirling- Viserion Resource to the JORC Code 'Indicated' category, while adding ounces by extending the strike and selective depth of the gold system.

Approximately 40% of the planned meters will target the shallow portion of the Mt Stirling-Viserion gold deposit to be drill defined to JORC Indicated category (~880m strike x ~125m depth) from surface 425m down to 300mRL. The Company conservatively anticipates increasing its global project Au grade, expand the Resource base and provide valuable data and confidence for a 2022 Q1 Optimisation Study.

An updated global MRE (Mineral Resource Estimation) for the Stirling Gold Project is on track for the end of Q1 2022. (Subject to drilling efficiency and laboratory timelines). In addition to the assay results from this next round of drilling, the MRE will include previously announced results that were not included in the May 2021 MRE.

For personal use only

In an effort to expedite the drilling programme the Company has secured the services of three (3) drilling RC contractors and one AV contractor to conduct the planned activities through this month and into February 2022.

The Company has also secured the services of Minecomp Pty Ltd a Kalgoorlie based, survey and mine planning company to conduct a pit optimisation study, as Torian takes another step towards assessing the economics and unlocking value from the Mt Stirling / Viserion gold system.

Mt Stirling / Viserion Further Results

Mt Stirling-Viserion assays have been received for the following intercepts:

1440N

  1. 4m @ 6.67 g/t Au from 52m* (comp MSRC150); and
    8m @ 1.21 g/t Au from 70m; incl 1m @ 2.47 g/t Au from 72m

1680N:

  1. 3m @ 1.57 g/t Au from 77m (MSRC149); incl 1m @ 3.30 g/t Au from 78m

Multiple drill holes are pending single meter assays from anomalous composite assay results. These are expected within 2 weeks.

Further results are anticipated throughout January, with approximately 38 further drill holes to be drilled to complete the planned Mt Stirling / Viserion drill phase.
