Positive Ni - Co assays, from drilling at Wongan Hills
WONGAN HILLS PROJECT, WA - targeting Volcanic-Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) Cu-Zn-Ag-Au and Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation (Cullen 90%)
RC drilling tested a previous intersection of a nickel sulphide-bearing ultramafic,
and Air Core targeted four soil anomalies along the Rupert Trend
HIGHLIGHTS
5 RC holes further tested a strong ground EM conductor (Model C3) at Rupert and outlined a lensoidal (possibly intrusive) body of ultramafic with a best intersection of 30m @ 1161 ppm Ni, with 22ppm Cu, and 80ppm Co (WHRC14 from 115-145m) - similar to the intersection in previous hole RC6 which contained trace nickel sulphides.
Significantly, 500m south-southeast of RC6, air core hole WHAC148 returned a strong intersection of nickel with cobalt (15m @ 1963 ppm Ni, with 227 ppm Co, and 76ppm Cu from 5m - max 5m composite sample of 3021ppm Ni with 389ppm Co- Cullen notes that cobalt anomalies may reflect regolith concentration - and, WHAC 151, 230m west on the same x-section, returned 17m @ 1802 Ni, 160 ppm Co from 20m to End of Hole,with 32ppm Cu.
These Ni-Co intersections partially overlie coincident, discrete magnetic +/- VTEM anomalies at the northern tip of an untested strike-extensive (~3km) magnetic belt (Figs. 1 and 2), and together with area RC6 are interpreted to be part of a prospective mafic-ultramafic complex.
Historical drilling, some 5km south on strike of Cullen's recent drilling, includes 0.6m of 7800ppm Ni with 780ppm Co in the regolith from 4.9m (WAMEX 18337) which further extends the target trend.
Examination of all drill hole geochemical and geological data is on-going, and Pt-Pd assays and petrography of selected RC and AC drill sections (of 5m samples or 1m resampling) has been initiated.
Follow-upground EM surveying is proposed to identify potential sulphidic zones, initially along the ~3km untested section of the Rupert Trend (Fig. 2).

Cullen Resources Limited is an Australia-based minerals explorer with drill ready targets for gold and base metals in several prospective terranes in Western Australia. The Company holds a multi-commodity portfolio including projects managed through a number of joint ventures with key partners (Rox, Fortescue, Capella and Lachlan Star), and a number of projects in its own right. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Cullen Exploration Pty Ltd, holds exploration tenements and applications in prospective, mineralized regions in Western Australia, exploring for gold, base metals and rare-element pegmatites. Its key projects include Wongan Hills, North Tuckabianna, Barlee, Bromus South, Mt Eureka JV, Killaloe JV, and Finland. Wongan Hills Project is located 200 kilometers northeast of Perth in the Western Yilgarn province. The North Tuckabianna project lies along gold corridor stretching between Cue and Meekatharra.
