ASX Announcement & Media Release
Auger drilling at Southern Cross Region-Rankin Dome Project Identifies Anomalous Lithium Results
Highlights:
- First round auger geochemical sampling program was completed at the Rankin Dome project
- Lithium cluster co-incident with magnetic feature over initial 1.5km extent has been followed up by an infill auger program which has now been completed
- Southern Cross tenement package covers 1,213km², all now considered prospective for lithium in addition to gold, base metals, and kaolin
Kula Gold Limited (Kula of the Company) reports results from a first pass auger geochemistry program at its 100% owned Rankin Dome project in the Southern Cross region (Fig 1.) shows an anomalous lithium cluster co-incident with the NW trending magnetic structure. (Fig 2.)
Kula's Rankin Dome tenement (the project) is located approximately 130km NW of the world class Mt Holland Lithium mine in the same terrain of the Yilgarn Province. Mt Holland's under development by a joint venture between subsidiaries of Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile S.A. (SQM) and Wesfarmers Limited to develop and operate the Mount Holland Lithium Project, which will be a unique, fully integrated producer of battery quality lithium hydroxide in Western Australia.

Follow up auger geochemistry sampling has now been completed by the same Sahara rig as used in the initial program.
Other areas of the tenement have also been tested, including for gold, which were under crop at the time of the initial drilling.

Competent Person Statement
The information in this report that relates to geology and exploration is based on information compiled by Mr A Anderson , a Competent Person who is a member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Anderson is a Geology and Exploration Consultant who has been engaged by Kula Gold Ltd. Mr Anderson has sufficient experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralisation, geology and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a competent person under the 2012 edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the 2012 JORC Code). Mr Anderson consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

onlySampling techniques
For usepersonal
-
Nature and quality of sampling (eg 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. - Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.
- In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg 'reverse circulation 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 (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
• Sampling was completed by personnel employed by the auger
contractor, Sahara Operations (Australia) Pty Ltd (Sahara).
- Samples were taken on the interface between transported material and saprolite.
- Sahara utilised a scoop to take a composite sample (typically 1m maximum but up to 2m where lithologies extended across more than 1m).
- The sample was taken by ~ 3 scoops from the sample bucket (representative as possible) to approximately 2kg. The sample placed into a prenumbered calico bag, 10 samples are placed in a polyweave bag and Ziplock tied on site.
- Samples were sent to Bureau Veritas Perth, where they were sorted and dried.
- The whole sample is dried weighed and crushed and a split portion is then pulverized and a nominal 40gram charge is taken by the laboratory for Fire Assay.
- The 40 gram charge is then subject to classical fire assay and the prill is subject to total digest in a four acid digest and the solution is read by an ICP machine using OES to determine Au to 1ppb and Pt and Pd to 5ppb.
- Multi Element assaying is done by mixed acid digest. Cr,Cu,Mg,Mn,Ni,S,Sc,Ti,V,Zn
have been determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Optical Emission Spectrometry. Ag,As,Ba,Bi,Cd,Co,Li,Mo,Pb,Sr,Te
