Paris Regional Exploration Update
30 May 2024
Investigator Resources Limited (ASX: IVR, “Investigator” or the “Company”) is pleased to report
the first results from the multi-disciplinary exploration program focused in the vicinity of the Paris
Silver Project in South Australia.
Investigator’s 100% owned Paris Silver Project is
located 70 kilometres north of the rural township
of Kimba on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula.
Access to the project site is predominantly via
highways and sealed roads and is approximately
7 hours by road from Adelaide as seen in Figure
1.
With positive outcomes of the Paris Project’s PreFeasibility Study - reported in November 20211 the company is undertaking the work required to
complete a Definitive Feasibility Study, whilst
continuing to progress exploration proximal to

Commenting on the program, Investigator’s Managing Director, Andrew McIlwain said:
“The discovery of shallow silver mineralisation within 2km of Paris is an outstanding result from
the Air-Core program. Whilst a bottom of hole, single hit, these results corroborate our belief that
Paris is unlikely the sole silver deposit in the district, emphasising the potential for more highvalue silver discoveries to be made.
“This exceptional outcome stems from the commitment Investigator made at the start of the year
to undertake extensive and methodical exploration in the search for additional silver within the
vicinity of Paris – providing an immediate value add for the Project.
“The team are already planning follow up drilling over the new Perseus prospect, aiming to incorporate the newly acquired soil and gravity data from the comprehensive March 2024 exploration
efforts around Paris.
“Additional lead and zinc intersections identified in the broad scale Air-Core drilling program offer
further interest, both at Diomedes and the newly named Manto prospect south of Nankivel. Furthermore, the discovery of significant amounts of manganese at Diomedes, may indicate proximity
to the same paleo-unconformity setting that is present at Paris, where elevated manganese is located at the top of the dolomitic marble basement.
“The discovery of manganese, a critical mineral, is not only of geological significance in the context of Paris, but once again highlights the prospectivity of the greater Peterlumbo exploration
licence for multiple commodity types.
“This discovery stems from the benefit of Air-Core drilling being able to provide valuable geological information of the greater Paris area, at a high benefit-cost ratio. We are always looking to refine
and progress our exploration methodology, with Air-Core drilling proving to be a valuable tool at
Peterlumbo. The ability to further define target areas and depths to basement by augmenting with
passive seismic Tromino is a positive development.
“Investigator look forward to providing further updates on our comprehensive exploration program
once the results of the gravity, Ambient Noise Tomography and soil sampling surveys are finalised”.

2024 Regional Air-Core drilling program
The regional Air-Core drill program was designed to identify targets via selective sampling either at the
base of cover or the bedrock contact, enabling rapid evaluation and vector towards shallow high-priority
targets.
Highly maneuverable, and with a small footprint, the Air-Core drill rig was able to complete the program
quickly and with minimal environmental impact, delivering a significant volume of data through relatively
low-cost drilling. Each Air-Core hole was sampled at the bottom of hole (BOH) and base of cover, with
additional samples taken where prospective geology was identified.
Drilling was completed in March 2024 with 120 holes for a total of 4,900m, as represented in Figure 2.

Perseus
The newly discovered Perseus prospect, located 2km southwest of Paris, was drill tested for the first time
in this Air-Core drilling program (Figure 2). The prospect was defined based on the extension of the regional northeast trending fault that bisects Paris. The Perseus prospect had not previously been covered
by any prior soil sampling or gravity data, therefore only a single pilot hole was planned to provide preliminary downhole data on geology and alteration. As part of the March 2024 extensive exploration campaign
around Paris Perseus was comprehensively covered by soil sampling and gravity surveying, with results
pending.
Shallow silver mineralisation at Perseus was intersected in drill hole PLAC161 with 1m @ 71g/t silver and
0.6% lead from 38m (BOH; Figure 3). Following receipt of this result, samples for the entire hole have
been collected and submitted for laboratory analysis and will be released once assay results are finalised.
The mineralised intersection was within a fine-grained silica altered volcaniclastic unit with pervasive argillic alteration, analogous to the volcanics intersected at the Paris Silver Deposit (Figure 4). Samples from
the BOH interval have been submitted for petrological analysis to determine the alteration assemblage
and silver-lead mineral species (Figure 4).

Follow-up drilling is planned, with results from the gravity and soil sampling surveys at Perseus to assist
targeting of follow up drilling at this prospective location.
Apollo
The Apollo prospect is located 4km northwest of Paris, within a prospective structural corridor identified
by gravity and magnetic data (Figure 2). The highest silver values intersected outside of Paris to-date
occur at Apollo, with significant results including 8m @ 1,262g/t silver from 149m in PPRC8262, making
this prospect a continued area of interest for the company.
The 2024 Regional Air-Core drilling was designed to test the far northern portion of the Apollo prospect,
where gravity lows are interpreted to represent areas of increased weathering/alteration. Drilling covered
a broader pattern across the target area, with the aim of establishing depth of bedrock, levels of alteration
and prospectivity of lithologies intersected – to assist in defining targets for later-stage Reverse Circulation
(RC) drilling. This program also provided information to inform and validate the Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) passive seismic survey covering this area, which is in the modelling process.
This program identified anomalous lead and zinc including 2m @ 0.1% lead and 0.2% zinc from 69m in
hole PLAC258 hosted in strong argillic altered metasediment. The Air-Core drilling was found to be less
effective at Apollo due to thick bands of hard silcrete within the weathering profile, which reduced the
effective depth of drilling. As a result, several of the Air-Core holes did not reach fresh bedrock.
The continuation of argillic alteration in the far northern portion of the Apollo prospect is encouraging.
These observations will assist in developing a prospect-scale model for Apollo, in conjunction with the
2 - ASX 25 August 2022 – Paris regional exploration drilling results

ANT survey results. Follow up work will utilise RC drilling to test deeper targets defined by this survey as
well as the observations generated by the Air-Core program once data has been evaluated in full.
Diomedes
The Diomedes prospect is located approximately 7km northeast of Paris, proximal to the Uno Fault (Figure
2). The 2024 Air-Core drilling was planned to test the northern strike extension and width potential of leadzinc-silver mineralisation intersected at Diomedes in the 2022 regional RC drill-program3.
Shallow lead, zinc and manganese mineralisation was intersected in two holes at the Diomedes prospect,
200m north of previous drilling. Significant results from hole PLAC260 include 36m @ 0.35% zinc from
8m, 20m @ 0.4% lead from 7m and 22m @ 10.2% manganese from 15m. Significant results from hole
PLAC259 include 8m @ 0.7% lead and 0.16% zinc from 31m.
The mineralisation occurs in strongly altered clays overlying calcsilicates and dolomites. Manganese mineralisation was intersected for the first time at the Diomedes prospect in hole PLAC260, suggesting a
variation in the geological environment at this location. This manganese horizon is similar to the transitional
paleo-unconformity at Paris, where manganese is enriched on the contact with fresh crystalline dolomite
basement. This is encouraging as it suggests a similar setting and weathering environment as Paris, implying preservation potential at Diomedes. Further drilling is planned to evaluate the broader geological
setting at Diomedes.
Manto
The newly identified Manto prospect is located 6km southeast of Paris, on the southern margin of the
Nankivel intrusive complex, comprised of multi-phase monzonites and diorites, which has been outlined
as a potential porphyry system and source for mineralizing fluids in the region. Evidence for shallow
porphyry-style alteration at Nankivel includes the alunite, topaz, illite and pyrophyllite mineral assemblages4. The area had one line of shallow (<20m) Air-Core drilling indicating presence of dolomite from
drilling in the 1980s, however, has had no further work.
Drilling at the Manto prospect was testing a gravity low feature, interpreted to be associated with prospective calcsilicate and dolomitic horizons, similar to those hosting the Paris Ag-Pb deposit. The drilling successfully intersected shallow dolomite, calcsilicate and ironstone sequences with anomalous coppernickel-zinc values. Strongly silica-sericite altered volcaniclastics, interpreted as an ignimbrite cover sequence with elevated zinc values was intersected in the western portion of the Manto prospect. Noteworthy
results include 5m @ 0.12% zinc from 44m in PLAC226, 3m @ 0.1% copper and 0.1% nickel from 30m
in hole PLAC229.

The shallow mineralisation was intersected at the fresh rock contact. Follow up drilling aims to test the
basal contact of the volcaniclastics as well as the spatial extent of the prospective dolomite and calcsilicate
sequences.
Tromino passive seismic results
The horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) passive seismic “Tromino” surveys were undertaken as a
series of two-dimensional sections across the broader Peterlumbo tenement and at Paris. In total 11 Tromino sections were undertaken in March 2024 as part of the comprehensive exploration program (Figure
5). The primary objective was to determine the depth to the fresh-rock interface as well as any potential
alteration (indicated by increased depth of “cover” or structures5). The surveys are quick and cost-effective
and provide a “look down” model of rock velocity that allows interpretation between weathered or altered
material vs fresh rocks. This information can be used to great effect in planning drillhole depths, identifying
areas of interpreted alteration potential and incorporated with other geophysical datasets for drillhole planning and target generation.

represent shallow basement while cool colours represent deeper basement.
The results of the survey were effective at visualising the bedrock contact as well as structures offsetting
the basement depth. The north-south Tromino section through Paris accurately models the thickness of
the altered volcaniclastic cover overlying the deposit (Figure 6). The cover profile thickens towards the

southeast, which coincides with Investigator’s 2022 Paris South drilling results. This understanding can be
extrapolated to data interpretation when additional Tromino surveys are undertaken in areas of scarce
drilling, for example Investigator’s new Perseus prospect.
Figure 6. Cross section of Tromino data showing basement profile through the Paris silver-lead deposit.
Similarly, the east-west Tromino section through Diomedes reveals a close association between the downhole basement intersection derived from drilling and Tromino derived basement surface (Figure 7). The
Tromino also identified a large offset in the basement depth, interpreted as faulting from a north-south
trending fault structure (Figure 7). The other sections show similar results when compared to the drilling
and known observations derived from the surface geology.
In addition to defining geological features of interest and potential alteration, the information derived from
the pilot passive seismic surveys will be utilised in planning further passive seismic surveys across Investigator’s exploration targets to assist and improve drillhole planning.

shown in red, and closely matches the passive seismic derived basement surface.

Conclusion
The Air-Core drilling and Tromino seismic programs were undertaken across a number of prospective
targets across the broader Peterlumbo tenement. The implementation of these programs stems from Investigator’s 2024 commitment to expediate additional silver discoveries within the vicinity of Paris.
Both programs were able to rapidly evaluate shallow high-priority targets, with minimal environmental impact. The result of which was the intersection of mineralisation at multiple prospects, including the new
prospect Perseus 2km from Paris with a notable intersection of 1m @ 71g/t silver and 0.6% lead from
the bottom of hole sample at 38m in hole PLAC161. The Tromino surveys were successfully able to map
out the basement contact as well as offsetting structures and this cheap, and effective method has applications in improving targeting, and reducing drill uncertainty across the tenement.
The implementation of these programs emphasizes Investigator’s capacity to efficiently combine traditional
exploration techniques with innovative methods to achieve exploration success. Further drilling is anticipated to occur early in the second half of 2024. The results of the soil sampling, Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) and gravity surveys completed at Paris in early 2024 will be incorporated in the planning of this
follow up drill program.

Appendix 5: JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1
The following section is provided to ensure compliance with the JORC (2012) requirements for the reporting of exploration results presented in the “Silver intersected proximal to Paris” ASX release dated 30 May 2024.
Assessment and Reporting Criteria Table Mineral Resource – JORC 2012
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria and JORC Code explanation
Sampling techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling
(e.g. cut channels, random
chips, or specific specialised
industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation,
such as down hole gamma
sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
• Include reference to measures
taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
Commentary
Air-core (AC) Drilling
•
•
•
•
•
•
AC drilling was undertaken to obtain samples from each 1m downhole interval.
For this exploration program nominal 2kg samples at Bottom of Hole
(BOH) and Base of Alluvium (BOA) were collected for submission for
multi element geochemical analysis. All other intervals were retained
should additional sampling of holes be required.
At the discretion of the geologist, additional intervals with potential or
indications of mineralisation were sampled on 1m intervals.
Drill intervals had visual moisture content and volume recorded as
necessary, i.e. Wet sample or low sample return.
Analysis was undertaken using industry standard techniques on a
40g pulverised sample using fire assay and ICPAES/MS at a certified
and NATA accredited commercial laboratory.
Portable XRF is utilised on an informal basis to identify zones of mineralisation and mineralogical components to assist in lithological logging but not relied upon for reporting of mineralisation in this release.
Passive Seismic HVSR Survey (Tromino)
•
A ground-based passive seismic horizontal to vertical ratio (HVSR)
survey was carried out by IVR using Tromino® ENGY TEB seismometers.

Criteria and JORC Code explanation
of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.
Commentary
• In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple
(e.g. ‘RC drilling was used to
obtain 1 m samples from
which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire
assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required,
such as where there is coarse
gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation
types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Drilling techniques
•
• Drill type (e.g. core, RC, openhole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and
details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling
bit or other type, whether core
is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc).
•
Drill sample recovery
•
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.
