AUSTR ALIA

QUEENSLAND

MT OXIDE PROJECT

Key Points:

• With the right high-calibre strategic partner, CCZ is targeting to develop a viable Cu-Co mining operation at its highly prospective Mt Oxide project – which has a large mineralised footprint near Mt Isa
• High values, up to 2.9%, for copper mineralisation and encouraging cobalt occurrences up to 2,400ppm
• The project is close to supporting infrastructure, ready access to skilled labour and third party processors amenable to off-take arrangements

The Mt Oxide Project includes four tenements.

MARLBOROUGH PROJECT

Key Points:

• Legacy data shows the area covered by the Marlborough project and Queensland Nickel contains proven and probable reserves of 48.7Mt at 0.94% nickel and 0.06% cobalt; and
• A-Cap Resources (ASX: ACB), has agreed to invest $2.25m through to BFS for 60% earn in; CCZ is free-carried with 40%

The Marlborough Project comprises three prospects.

CANGAI COPPER PROJECT (INCLUDES HISTORIC CANGAI COPPER MINE) & CANGAI COLBALT

Key Points:

• The Cangai Copper & Cobalt Project is on an ultramafic system that is well known for high-grade copper-cobalt;
• Exceptional high-grade JORC Inferred Resource for Cangai Copper Mine derived from 3D modelling of legacy data at 3.2MT @ 3.35% Cu, representing circa 108,000MT contained copper;
• Core strategy to re-open Cangai Copper Mine
• Shallow massive sulphide mineralisation confirmed outside existing known ore bodies
• High-grade assay results – up to 10.25% Cu, 6.04% Zn and 32.5g/t Ag
• Best intersection 11m @ 5.94% Cu from 41m incl: 1m @ 10.25% Cu; 3m @ 8.1% Cu; 1m @ 7.53% Cu
• Multiple DHEM surveys to optimise the current (39-hole, Phase II) drilling campaign
• Potential for high-grade north-east trending extensions, with high grade soil and rock-chip assay results up to 1,660ppm Cu and 23.9% Cu respectively
• Metallurgical test-work from McDonoughs stockpile can be beneficiated materially – with copper concentrate recoveries >80%, grading up to 22%

The Cangai Copper and Cobalt Projects includes two tenements.

BROKEN HILL PROJECT

Key Points:

• The Broken Hill Project is prospective for cobalt-zinc-lead-copper mineralisation
• Distinct comparative advantages relative to peers in the region include full mining rights and 100%-tenure ownership
• Recent field trips have concentrated on the “Area 1” prospect which delivered assay results that confirmed cobalt mineralisation up to 291ppm Co at surface within the Himalaya Formation
• There is mineralisation potential south of “Area 1” for zinc-lead-copper judging by solid historic assays up to 5,300ppm Zn; 12,800ppm, Pb; 2,900ppm Cu
• CCZ’s geology team is continuing to compile data to formulate inaugural drilling campaign

The Broken Hill Project Group includes two tenements.
