FRASER RANGE ACQUISITION HIGHLIGHTS
•
Segue Resources is to control 3,538km
2
of exploration licences in the highly
prospective Albany-Fraser Range Province in Western Australia
•
Fraser Range Province hosts Sirius Resources’ Nova-Bollinger nickel-copper deposit
and the Tropicana gold project (AngloGold Ashanti/Independence Group)
•
Segue to become one of the largest tenement holders in the Fraser Range with
three exploration projects – Plumridge Nickel, Plumridge Gold and Deralinya
•
Plumridge is highly prospective for nickel/copper and has previously been explored for
gold with several deposits identified
•
Pipeline of prospects from grass roots to advanced exploration
•
Consideration is predominantly equity – conserving cash for exploration
ACQUISITION TERMS
•
Segue is to acquire three private companies for a
combination of cash and shares

PLUMRIDGE PROJECT
•
Plumridge tenements (2,240km

) covering
the northern end of the Fraser Range
•
Significant land package with limited
nickel-copper exploration to date
•
Fraser Range Zone is highly prospective for
nickel-copper (Nova-style) deposits
•
Primary exploration targets are Nova-type
intrusions – “eye” magnetic signature
•
Phased exploration programme with proven
technologies and methodology
•
Eastern Biranup Zone well endowed with
gold anomalies, mineralisation and deposits

Plumridge Tenements
PLUMRIDGE NICKEL PROJECT
•
Fraser Range generally has limited outcrop with cover
of ~40m in the Plumridge Project area
•
Excellent geophysics – gravity, airborne magnetics,
ground magnetics and electro-magnetics
•
Nova deposit is hosted within a distinct “eye” magnetic
feature interpreted to be a late stage intrusion
•
Nova-type “eyes” are discrete targets, readily and
cost-effectively testable for nickel sulphide targets
Source: Sirius Resources NL, November 2012

•
Segue has identified several “eye” type targets at the Plumridge Nickel Project
•
Exploration programme will systematically evaluate and prioritise “eye” targets
•
Drill testing of the highest prospectivity nickel targets
NOVA-STYLE EXPLORATION MODEL
Phased “decision tree” exploration programme:
1. Identify Nova-type “eye” targets from high resolution
aeromagnetic data
2. Identify mafic and/or conductor-bearing targets from
ground EM traverses across “eyes”
3. Identify high bedrock nickel mafic and/or conductor zones
from bedrock air core drill lines
4. Define strike-continuous, high bedrock nickel conductors
from adjacent air core drill lines and ground EM traverses
5. RC drill most strike extensive high bedrock nickel
conductive plate targets
6. Down hole EM to refine conductive plates and RC drill
DHEM-refined plates

PLUMRIDGE GOLD PROJECT
•
Significant historical exploration for gold on the western
portion of the Plumridge tenements
•
Several gold prospects discovered by International
Goldfields including the very large Corvette gold anomaly
•
Recent oriented diamond drilling and structural analysis
has identified a brittle/ductile gold system
•
PIMA alteration mineral chemistry study underway to
identify gold-bearing fluid pathways
•
Integration of structural and fluid pathways knowledge will
provide new drill targets for testing in 2H 2014
