Highlights
• 17-hole diamond drill program completed safely at the Emmie Bluff copper-cobalt deposit
• Geological logging continues to support the previously announced Exploration Target
• Final core being transported to Adelaide for cutting, sampling and submission, with results
expected in April 2021
• Further 4-6 in-fill drill holes planned for June 2021 Quarter to support a maiden JORC 2012
compliant Mineral Resource Estimate in Q3 2021
• Drilling of Tier-1 IOCG targets on track for April 2021, subject to final approvals
• Coda is well-funded with over $10 million cash at bank
Coda Minerals Limited (ASX:COD, “Coda” or
“the Company”) is pleased to advise that it has
completed, on-time and on-budget, the 17hole Phase 2 exploration and mineral resource
definition drill program at the Emmie Bluff
copper prospect, part of its Elizabeth Creek
Copper Project in South Australia (Figure 2).
Emmie Bluff forms part of a suite of highquality copper projects at Elizabeth Creek,
which is located in the heart of the Olympic
Copper Province.
The Olympic Copper Province hosts the
Prominent Hill, Olympic Dam and Carrapateena
copper-gold operations as well as BHP’s recent
Oak Dam West copper-gold discovery, which is
located just 15km from Emmie Bluff.
Coda is the operator and majority owner of the
Elizabeth Creek Project, holding a 70% interest
alongside Torrens Mining (ASX: TRN), which
holds a 30% interest.
Coda is pleased that the drilling program was
completed safely and without incident, and
thanks the drilling companies, suppliers, field
geologists, and supervisors, who have

supported the Company throughout this program. Their shared commitment to the highest standards of safety, heritage and
environmental custodianship is greatly valued by Coda.
Remaining diamond drill core is currently being transported to Adelaide, where it will be cut and relevant sections of the
target Tapley Hill Formation shale will be submitted for assay. Final assay results are expected in late April 2021 subject to
laboratory processing times.
The Company is focused on converting a substantial proportion of the previously announced Exploration Target 1 for Emmie
Bluff into a maiden JORC 2012 Compliant Mineral Resource Estimate as the basis for a significant uplift in its mineral resource
base at Elizabeth Creek. In parallel, drilling of a number of Tier-1 IOCG targets in the adjacent exploration corridor is scheduled
to commence next month, subject to receipt of final approvals.
Resource Definition and Future Work
The Company is increasingly confident, based both on previously released assays and preliminary assessment of more recently
drilled holes, that the Exploration Target represents an accurate first-pass approximation of the vast scale and lateral extent
of the main mineralised Emmie Bluff embayment. The Emmie Bluff copper-cobalt mineralisation remains open, especially to
the south-east where strong potential for sub-basins and associated satellite deposits has been identified, work to fully
evaluate this area is ongoing.
Given these results, Coda is committed to its previously announced work program at Emmie Bluff (see Figure 1, below), with
a program of additional in-fill drilling expected to comprise 4-6 diamond holes scheduled to commence in the June 2021
Quarter.
This drilling is designed to provide the Company with sufficient data to support an Inferred Mineral Resource classification at
Emmie Bluff, based on a significant portion of the previously announced Exploration Target in the same area 2. The maiden
Mineral Resource Estimate is expected to be completed in Q3 2021.

Regional Exploration and IOCG Targets
The Company recently completed a successful heritage survey in association with the Kokatha Aboriginal Corporation, the
traditional owners of the land on which the Elizabeth Creek Project is situated, in support of its regional exploration objectives

at the Emmie Bluff Deeps and Elaine IOCG prospects, as well as the Zambian-style, shale-hosted copper-cobalt prospects at
MG14 North, Hannibal and Powerline. Coda anticipates drilling at its IOCG prospects will commence in April subject to final
environmental approvals, while work at its additional Zambian-style prospects will commence immediately following the
resource definition drilling at Emmie Bluff, as detailed above.
Discussing the Company’s upcoming field program, Coda Minerals CEO Chris Stevens said:
“With a successful drill program at Emmie Bluff under our belts – and that prospect moving into an exciting new phase of
resource definition – we’ve never been more enthusiastic about the opportunities for growth at Elizabeth Creek.
“The next few months have the potential to be transformational for Coda, as we drill our high-priority IOCG and Zambian-style
copper targets and advance Emmie Bluff rapidly towards a maiden JORC Mineral Resource. We are fully-funded for the planned
programs with a healthy cash balance of over $10 million. Coda is looking forward to delivering a consistent flow of news and
results over the coming three to four months. Thanks to our supportive shareholder base, our recent IPO has put us in a strong
position to undertake an ambitious, fully-funded exploration program of this scale.”

About Coda Minerals
Coda Minerals (ASX: COD) is a minerals exploration company focused on the discovery, and development of base metals,
precious metals, and battery minerals.
Coda is primed to unlock the value of its highly prospective Elizabeth Creek Copper Project, which is located in the heart of
the Olympic Copper, Province Australia’s most productive copper belt.
The Elizabeth Creek Copper Project covers 739 km2 is centred 100km south of BHP’s Olympic Dam mine 15km from BHP’s Oak
Dam West Project and 50 km west of OZ Minerals’ Carrapateena copper-gold project. The project includes JORC 2012compliant Indicated Mineral Resources at the Windabout and MG14 deposits, which together host a combined 159,000
tonnes of contained copper and 9,500 tonnes of contained cobalt. The project also includes Coda’s Emmie Bluff prospect,
which has a JORC compliant Zambian-style copper-cobalt Exploration Target, and strong IOCG potential.
Coda is the majority owner of the Elizabeth Creek Copper Project and operator of the Farm-in and Joint Venture with Torrens
Mining (ASX: TRN), which currently owns 30% of the project. Coda holds the rights and interests to earn up to 75% interest in
the project under the farm-in agreement with Torrens and anticipates completing its Farm-in expenditure commitment of a
total project expenditure of $ 8.62 million by Q2 2021.
Coda has a dual strategy for success at Elizabeth Creek. Firstly, it is working to further define and extend known Zambianstyle copper-cobalt resources across multiple prospects, including Emmie Bluff, Powerline, MG14 North and Hannibal.
Secondly, it is planning to systematically explore, define and where appropriate, drill-test copper-gold IOCG targets. Existing
IOCG targets at Elizabeth Creek include Elaine, Elizabeth North, Chianti and also Emmie Bluff Deeps, which was recently
redefined through extensive geophysical work.
The company listed on the ASX in October 2020 after a successful, heavily oversubscribed IPO which is funding an aggressive
exploration campaign across the Elizabeth Creek project tenure.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria
JORC Code explanation
Sampling
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels,
techniques
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.

Commentary
•
•
•
•
RC precollars of varying depths were drilled before drilling technique
switched over to HQ drill core.
Core was logged in the field and rough metal content was measured at
regular intervals with a portable XRF device. XRF measurement intervals
varied depending on lithology, from 10m in suspected unmineralised strata to
10cm in areas of suspected mineralisation.
Sampling intervals were selected by field geologist based on logging and XRF
results.
Understanding of the mineralising system based on historical drilling and the
XRF results allowed large parts of the holes to remain unsampled. Typically,
sampling as restricted to the Tapley Hill Formation shale, and the material
immediately above and below its upper and lower contacts.

All drill holes excluding holes DD20EB0004 and DD21EB0017 were drilled with
RC precollars to approximately 150 – 250m, followed by HQ standard tube
diamond tails to a maximum depth of between 400 and 512.8m.
DD20EB0004 was drilled as diamond from surface, commencing as PQ until
50.9m, then changing over to HQ diamond for the remainder of the hole.
DD21EB0017 was drilled RC from surface to 302.7m, then changing over to
NQ diamond for the remainder of the hole.
Core was oriented by Ezymark core orientation tool.
RC precollars are not believed to be relevant to the mineralising system at
Emmie Bluff and were not assessed for recovery.
Recovery of diamond tails was consistently excellent, with minimal core loss.
No relationship is believed to exist between sample recovery and grade.
Basic stratigraphic logging has been carried out by appropriately trained and
experienced field geologists on RC precollars.
Detailed qualitative geological logging has been carried out by appropriately
trained and experienced field geologists on all diamond core. Quantitative
logging by means of portable XRF has been undertaken on an as needed basis
in areas of prospectivity, typically utilising a 0.5m interval with interval
reduction down to 0.2, 0.1 or 0.05m in areas of known prospectivity (i.e. the
upper and lower contacts of the Tapley Hill Fm shale) or where coarser
analysis revealed geochemical anomalism.

Sample intervals were defined by field geologists based on portable XRF
results and detailed geological logging.
Core was then transported by road to Adelaide where the core was cut by
means of an Almonte core saw (where competent enough to do so) or by
brick saw, where it was not.
A total of 417 samples were taken across the entire programme, including
field duplicates and standards, which were inserted at a 1:20 and 1:10 ratio
respectively (42 standards,21 field duplicates), leaving a total of 354 samples.
Core was cut on a sample-by sample-basis according to need in the following
manner:
o Where a field duplicate was not required: ¼ core for assay, ¼ core
for retention by Coda on site for future review, ½ core for future
metallurgical work (currently being held in cold storage).
o Where a field duplicate was required: ¼ core for assay, ¼ core for
duplicate assay, ¼ core for retention by Coda on site for future
review, ¼ core for future metallurgical work (currently being held in
cold storage).
Samples varied in width from 0.1 to 1.74m, with an average of 0.62m per
sample.
Field duplicates were taken based on sample numbers ensuring random
selection of mineralised and unmineralized material.

structure
Drillholes are irregularly spaced, with a mean distance of 537m to their
nearest neighbour, a minimum nearest neighbour distance of 193m
(DD20EB0002 – DD21EB0017) and a maximum of 1,759m (DD20EB0005 –
DD21EB0013).
If nearby historic holes are included, the mean distance to their nearest
neighbour falls to 433m, with an unchanged minimum and a new maximum
of 1,356m (DD21EB0017 – MGD 42).
Physical compositing has not been applied to samples.
Coda does not believe that the results reported in this release are sufficient
to estimate a Mineral Resource and has not attempted to do so.
•
•
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.
Sample
security
•
The measures taken to ensure sample security.
•
Samples were taken by representatives of Coda Minerals or Challenger
Geological Services from the field to a core cutting facility in Adelaide, and
then on to the assay lab. No third party other than Challenger Geological
Services had access to the samples between the field and the assay lab.
Audits or

Due to drilling conditions, drillholes at Emmie Bluff are difficult to keep
straight and tend to dip towards -90 degrees as they increase in depth,
regardless of starting dip. This makes orienting of core difficult and largely
ineffective at the prospect.
The main mineralised stratum (Tapley Hill Fm shale) is relatively flat lying
throughout the prospect area based on previously announced seismic results
and historical drilling. As such, the near-vertical intersects reported are
believed to be broadly representative of true width and are not believed to
introduce any meaningful sampling bias.

All drilling took place on EL 6265.
EL 6265 is owned in a 70:30 relationship by Coda Minerals Ltd and Terrace
Mining Ltd.
Coda Minerals is currently free-carrying Terrace until a total of 8.62 million
dollars is spent, at which point an unincorporated joint venture will be
formed to manage the tenure.
The tenure is in good standing and is considered secure at the time of this
release. No other impediments are known at this time.
Historical exploration of the Emmie Bluff prospect has been undertaken by
(among others) Mt Isa Mines, Gunson Resources, Torrens Mining and
Gindalbie Metals (Coda’s predecessor company).
With the exception of data from Gindalbie Metals, all historical results used
to guide Coda’s exploration has been obtained from the Geological Survey of
South Australia via the South Australian Resources Information Gateway
(SARIG).
The Elizabeth Creek project sits in the Stuart Shelf within the broader
Olympic Copper Province in South Australia. Specifically, mineralisation is
hosted in the dolomitic shales and dolarenites of the Neoproterozoic Tapley
Hill Formation. This formation unconformably overlies the
Meso/Palaeoproterozoic Pandurra Formation due to local uplifting
associated with the Pernatty Upwarp. This unconformity, as well as
structures associated with the Pernatty Upwarp, represent the most likely
fluid flow pathways associated with the emplacement of metal bearing
sulphides.
Emmie Bluff mineralisation closely resembles mineralisation in the MG14
and Windabout resources found approximately 40 kilometres to the south,
also within the broader Elizabeth Creek tenure. It is considered to fall within
the broad “Zambian-style” family of sediment hosted copper deposits.

A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results including
a tabulation of the following information for all
Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole
collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres) of
the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on
the basis that the information is not Material and
this exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the Competent
Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum
grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and
cut-off grades are usually Material and should be
stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be shown
in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
