REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the year, Rumble’s focus was to rapidly advance the large-scale Earaheedy Zn-Pb-Ag discovery which was
made on 19th April 2021 at the Earaheedy Project, 110km north east of Wiluna in Western Australia.
Two years to the day on 19th April 2023, Rumble announced a globally significant ‘Pit constrained’ maiden resource
estimate at the Earaheedy Project in Western Australia, confirming it as one of the largest zinc sulphide discoveries
over the last decade. The strength of the MRE is supported by a relatively flat grade-tonnage curve, with higher
grade resources that could be part of a possible early development scenario, and a much larger resource that could
potentially be upgraded via beneficiation, providing the project with significant future flexibility.
The Project has exceptional near term growth potential with the deposits open in all directions, and less than 35%
of the 45km mineralised Navajoh Unconformity Unit (host to the current resources) effectively drill tested.
Additionally, none of the thick underlying geologically fertile formations which could host high-grade MVT deposits
have yet been tested.
The next phase of the Earaheedy project advancement will focus on resource extensions and new high grade
discoveries, whilst beneficiation and initial scoping studies will occur in parallel with the extensive exploration
campaign.
The sheer scale, optionality, location and extraordinary growth potential of Earaheedy could see the Project stamp
itself as a world class, multi decade asset which could play a key role in the global renewable energy transition.

As outlined in this report and in previous disclosures, there are a number of risks associated with the Company as
it proceeds with its strategy to explore its portfolio of projects, with a priority and focus on advancing the emerging
world class Earaheedy base metal discovery.
The outlook for the commodities the Company is exploring is strong, with Zinc considered to have a strong future
role in renewable energy storage (solar, wind farms & batteries), which is anticipated to result in an increase in
demand, coinciding with a fall in supply due to depleted existing mines (refer ASX investor presentation lodged 14th
August 2023 – Slide 17 and 18).

Sweetwater Trend – Newly named ‘Mato Prospect’
During the year, the Company commenced RC drilling, along the Sweetwater Trend with E69/3787, testing targets
identified from gravity interpretation and soil sampling.
RC drilling, testing an area 7.5km west of the Chinook Deposit, intersected Zn-Pb sulphide mineralisation in the first
five drill holes at the newly named ‘Mato Prospect’.
Geological logging of the drill holes indicates that the Zn-Pb mineralisation occurs within the Navajoh Unconformity
Unit and has similar geological controls that host the Chinook, Tonka, and Navajoh deposits with E69/3464.
Further interpretation of the Airborne Gravity Gradiometry (FalconTM) Survey (AGG) completed in 2022 has
highlighted multiple new gravity targets at the Mato Prospect that could potentially represent high-grade feeders.
This initial drill testing along with coincident Zn-Pb soil geochemistry has outlined a potential 9km long x 3km area
that could host a significant new Zn-Pb sulphide deposit and add to the emerging world class base metal system at
Earaheedy (Refer ASX release 17th July 2023 – See Image 1).
District Exploration - New Tenure Applications at Earaheedy
During the year following a major geological targeting campaign, Rumble applied (100% RTR) for three highly
prospective exploration licenses, ELA69/4124, ELA69/4149 and ELA69/4165, which are contiguous with the existing
Earaheedy Project tenure.
The new tenure applications increases the overall Earaheedy Project area by 170% to 1154km2 (Refer ASX release
17 July 2023 – See Image 1).
Earaheedy Project - Exceptional Resource Growth Potential and Tier 1 Scale Potential
The Project has exceptional growth potential with only two (Types 1 and 2 – refer to Image 7) of the five identified
mineralised styles explored to date.
The Chinook, Tonka and Navajoh deposits remain open downdip and along strike, demonstrating the potential for
significant resource growth in the future.
Less than 35% of the targeted 45km, shallow and flat lying, mineralised Navajoh Unconformity Unit (Types 1 and 2
– refer to Image 7) that hosts the potentially open pittable Zn-Pb resources has been effectively drill tested.
Significant potential exists to discover high grade MVT & structurally controlled deposits in the fertile underlying
carbonate formations which are yet to be tested.

AIC Mines completes RC and Diamond Drilling in 2022
A total of 6,992m of drilling was completed testing five targets – Lamil Dome, Goodenia, Sundew, Flame Pea North
and Flame Pea South.
Lamil Dome Prospect
A total of four diamond holes were completed along the eastern flank of the Lamil Dome Prospect with the aim of
vectoring toward copper sulphide mineralisation associated with the contact zone of extensive mafic intrusives .
Two holes tested the down dip extent of the contact zone between 21ALRC0054, which returned 1m grading 2.26%
Cu and 51ppb Au from 90m, and 20ALDD0006, which returned 1.4m grading 0.05% Cu. The two other holes testing
the northern extension of the flank. The two holes following up the better results continued to return elevated copper
and gold over narrow intervals, as detailed below (refer AIC Mines Limited ASX release 5 December 2022):
Hole 22ALDD0008
•
1m grading 0.11% Cu from 80m; and
•
2m grading 0.02% Cu from 505m
Hole 22ALDD0009
•
0.65m grading 0.05% Cu from 139.6m; and
•
0.7m grading 0.09% Cu and 0.1% Pb from 207.3m
Drilling has now demonstrated the eastern flank of the Lamil Dome Prospect is composed of several mafic intrusive
bodies which appear to narrow to the north and south. Drilling has defined a central zone of notable intervals over
about 2 kilometers of strike associated with strong alteration. Down-hole electromagnetic surveys (“DHEM”)
conducted in holes 22 ALDD008 and 22ALDD009, did not detect any conductors.
Goodenia Prospect
At the Goodenia Prospect a 697m deep diamond hole was drilled to test a coincident magnetic and gravity anomaly
underlying anomalous carbonaceous siltstone -hosted zinc and lead mineralization intersected in shallower drilling
(refer to Image 10). Intervals of zinc and lead were intersected down the drillhole. Significant intersections include:
•
3m grading 0.1% Pb and 0.016% Zn from 186m;
•
6m grading 0.09% Zn and 0.03% Pb from 322m;
o Including 0.5m grading 0.14% Zn and 0.063% Pb from 323.5m
•

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Rumble Resources Ltd & Controlled Entities
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Mineralisation is typically in the form of sphalerite and galena occurring as coarse-grained disseminations and in
carbonate veins associated with strong dolomitic alteration of a siltstone to sandstone package. An increase in
disseminated pyrite, accounting for 5% to 10% of the core, is associated with the mineralisation (at approximately
400m down hole) with the appearance of pyrrhotite with dolomite alteration below approximately 560m. These
dolomite-sulphide zones appear to correlate strongly with the gravity anomalism See Image 10. Fifty percent of the
drilling costs were funded by a Western Australian Government Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) grant.
Image 10 –Oblique section of the Goodenia Prospect showing drill holes on geology with gravity shells defining
density anomalism.
Sundew Prospect
At the Sundew Prospect, six holes on a 750m spacing were drilled to test for potential Telfer style gold copper
mineralisation beneath a multi-element soil anomaly. This anomaly coincided with an interpreted antiform
composed of the prospective Malu and Isdell formation rocks (including the Telfer Member – host to the Telfer Gold
mine), adjacent to the regionally significant Parallel Fault. Intervals of elevated copper and gold were intersected in
three holes closest to the axis of the antiform, as detailed below (refer AIC Mines Limited ASX release 5
December 2022):
Hole 22ALRC0095
•
5m grading 0.13% Cu from 152m; and
•
3m grading 0.16% Cu from 160m
Hole 22ALRC0098
•
8m grading 0.03% Cu from 112
Hole 22ALRC0099
•
4m grading 0.02% Cu from 176m
Flame Pea South Prospect
At the Flame Pea South Prospect, twelve holes were completed testing significant magnetic anomalies on the
western limb of an interpreted regionally extensive anticline. Two holes targeting a discrete magnetic anomaly under
Permian cover at the southern portion of the targets intersected elevated copper and gold, as detailed below:
Hole 22ALRC0111
•
1m grading 0.04% Cu from 120m
Hole 22ALRC0113
•
40m grading 0.04% Cu from 120m;
o Including 4m grading 0.12% Cu from 128m
The broad interval in 22ALRC0113 is hosted by a zone of intense albite and hematite alteration within a mafic unit,
suggesting the magnetic anomaly is related to an extensive mafic intrusive, analogous perhaps to the Lamil Dome
eastern flank.
