51% INCREASE IN ALPHA RESOURCE SUBSTANTIALLY
EXPANDS PROJECT SCALE AND POTENTIAL
Significantly upgraded Mineral Resource sets a strong foundation for the upcoming PreFeasibility Study (PFS) as Greenvale makes strong progress towards its goal of becoming
Australia’s only end-to-end, domestic supplier of sustainable bituminous products.
Highlights:
•
Updated JORC Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) completed for the Alpha
Torbanite Project in Queensland by SRK Consulting.
•
Updated Inferred Resource of 28Mt of Torbanite and Cannelite.
•
This represents a 51% increase on the maiden 18.6Mt MRE (March 2022).
•
Mineral Resource Estimate includes 4.3Mt of Torbanite.
•
Increase to volumetrics with 27.7 million barrels of synthetic oil
equivalent – up 30% on the previously stated MRE.
•
Potential to further expand the Resource both down-dip, as well as on
the adjacent EPM 27718 with further drilling.
Summary
Greenvale Energy Limited (ASX: GRV, “Greenvale” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise
that it has taken another key step towards the commercial development of its flagship, 100%owned, Alpha Torbanite Project in Queensland with the completion of an updated JORC
Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the deposit.
The updated MRE sees a 9.4Mt increase in the total dry tonnes of the deposit, up from 18.6Mt
in the maiden 2022 to 28Mt of combined cannelite and torbanite. This represents a
significant 51% increase in the total size of the Inferred Resource and reinforces the scale and
potential of the Alpha deposit.
The synthetic oil equivalency of the deposit has also seen a noticeable improvement, adding
6.4 million barrels for a total of 27.7 million barrels of synthetic oil equivalent. It is also
important to note that the updated MRE synthetic oil equivalency has been calculated utilising
yield estimations from the standardised Modified Fischer Assay (MFA) results reported back
in December 2021.

Yield results and subsequent synthetic oil equivalency estimations are likely to improve
following completion of the final stage of liquefaction testing, currently being undertaken by
Monash University.
The completion of Test Program Four will not only allow for a potential improvement in yields,
but also an increase in the confidence level of the MRE from Inferred to Indicated for inclusion
in the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).
Overall, the substantial upgrade in the MRE is a compelling result. The data from the updated
MRE will now be utilised in the final delivery of the PFS and, with the increase in the overall
size of the deposit, will potentially enhance the overall economic profile of the project.
A modest decline in the total tonnage of torbanite has been observed. However, as evidenced
by the results from liquefaction Test Program Three (see ASX Announcement dated 17 May
2023), the Company and its technical advisors, Procom, have been able to achieve much
greater yields from the cannelite than first observed in the initial MFA results.
Holistically, it is expected that improvements in the processing of the cannelite will negate any
observed decrease in the total estimated tonnes of torbanite at this stage of the project. There
is also scope for further increases in the total torbanite Resource with further extensional
drilling into EPM 27718.
Greenvale’s CEO, Mark Turner, stated: “This is a fantastic outcome for our shareholders and
a very exciting milestone for the Company in our journey to develop the Alpha Project. The
completion of the updated MRE ticks another major box towards the completion of the PFS.
“The significant improvement in the scale of the Inferred Resource is extremely positive and
is expected to improve further when combined with the results from the final liquefaction test
program.
“While we are all very pleased with the 51% increase in the MRE, we know that there is still
work to be done and we look forward to further updating the market on the Alpha Project and
the advancements of our partners Monash, Technix and Lycella in the coming weeks.”
Local Geology of the Alpha Deposit
The Alpha Torbanite deposit consists of two seams, namely an Upper and Lower Seam which
sit at the base of the Colinlea Sandstone. The Lower Seam is equivalent to the ‘E’ seam within
the Colinlea Sandstone within the Galilee Basin.
The seam structure of the deposit is simple with the two seams – the Upper and Lower Seam
– having an average interburden of 16 metres. The interval between the two seams is
dominantly quartzose to lithic sandstone with minor conglomerate, siltstone and claystone
(Figure 1).
The Upper Seam is classified as cannelite and has an average thickness of ~1m and the
Lower Seam has an average thickness of ~2m. The Lower Seam is the main oil-yielding unit
of the deposit. It consists of two main types of oil shale namely cannelite and torbanite, which
is olive-grey to olive-black and is finely laminated.
The torbanite is lenticular in shape and has a variable thickness.

The Lower Seam can generally be split into three plies, as described below:
•
L1 – comprising a relatively clean cannelite interval.
•
LT – comprising the main torbanite interval, including coal bands.
•
L2 – comprising a relatively clean cannelite interval.
Figure 1: Summary of the seam geology within MDL330.
Alpha Phase 2 Drilling Program
The Company completed the Phase 2 drilling program at the Alpha Project in early October
(see ASX announcement, 2 October 2023). The core drilling programme comprised a total of
20 HQ core holes for a combined 1,053.5m of drilling.
The program involved the acquisition of 16 cores targeting the Upper & Lower Seams and four
cores targeting just the Lower Seam. All core hole locations have been geophysically logged
with wireline tools providing down-hole gamma, density and verticality surveys.
The 15-hole chip reconnaissance drilling program which was planned to facilitate the
delineation of potential extensions of the Resource outside the geological model area has
been rescheduled to take place next year.
It is hoped that this program will improve on the reported MRE results and further boost the
potential economics of the project.

The Mineral Resources were estimated for each of the modelled plies for which there are
reasonable prospects for economic extraction. Mineral Resources are limited to the area within
MDL 330 and do not, as previously stated, allow for any extension of the deposit into the

Mineral Resources have been estimated for Upper and Lower seams (U, L1, LT, L2). Points
of Observation for determining cannel coal and torbanite thickness and continuity include
cored seam intersections, with geophysical wireline log.
The up-dip (northern and northeastern) limits of the Inferred Resource were defined by the
modelled base of weathering. An improved topographic surface model obtained from airborne
LiDAR acquired in 2022 has changed the projected base of weathering in the northern section
of the deposit where terrain is more variable.
The down-dip (western, southern and southeastern) extent of the inferred resource was limited
to a maximum open cut mining depth of 60 m to the floor of the Lower Seam and to the
tenement boundaries of MDL330.
The cannel coal and torbanite lens Resource tonnage calculations were based on the bulk
density model for the coal seam on an in-situ basis. The modelled laboratory air dried bulk
density data for the cannel coal and torbanite units was used to calculate air dried tonnages
and was subsequently adjusted to an in-situ moisture basis using the Preston and Sanders
(1993) calculation.
As in-situ moisture cannot be measured directly, an assumed in situ moisture of 14% was
used for the Alpha cannel coal, based on an air-dried moisture regression equation developed
by Fletcher and Sanders (2003). The resultant in-situ moisture for the sampled cannel coal
seams typically equates to the air-dried moisture of 9.4%.
A lower in-situ moisture of 6% was assumed for the torbanite lens. Due to its finer pore
structure, lack of cleat and resultant lower air-dried moisture content (av. 5.1% ad) compared
with the cannel coal plies.
No torbanite or cannel coal quality limits/grade cut-offs were applied to the MRE and the
Resource is considered amenable to open cut mining methods.

Analysis of surveyed drill hole collar RLs versus the TOPO grid indicated that
the TOPO grid was on average 5.51 m higher than the drill hole collar value.
A revised topography grid was created (TOPS) by subtracting 5.51 m from the
TOPO grid.

Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of

The Alpha deposit lies within the axis of the Glen Avon Syncline, a southwest
plunging fold structure that occurs on the eastern flank of the Galilee Basin.
The deposit is part of the Permian Colinlea Sandstone, which contains 150 m of
cross-bedded sandstones with minor conglomerates, siltstones and mudstones.
The geology of the deposit consists of an Upper and Lower seam of cannel coal
with a torbanite lens present in the lower seam.
The Colinlea Sandstone is thought to be a lower delta plain deposit with the coal
deposited in swamps and shallow lakes in this near shore environment. The
torbanite is thought to have been deposited from algae in a lacustrine
environment when water entering the system held little sediment or organic
material.
