Alice Queen’s Managing Director, Andrew Buxton said,

  • These latest results round out a very successful RC infill drill program at Horn Island. The results provide an encouraging platform for the planned updated

  • “ Mineral Resource Estimate. Even more importantly they are a key precursor to what is hoped to be a positive result from the Company’s Horn Island Scoping Study which is currently on foot.

Phase 1 RC Infill Resource Drilling Horn Island Gold Resource (Final Results)

Gold assay intercept results for 24 remaining holes have now been returned from the resource infill drilling program across the Horn Island Resource. The Phase One RC program is designed to infill the diamond drilling (DDH) data to a nominal 20mx25m pattern across three adjacent drill sections located southwest of the historic and abandoned 1980’s Horn Island open cut pit gold mining site (figure 1). The purpose of the program is to assess the impacts of a larger sample size from the RC drilling compared with diamond core and further investigate the controls, intensity and distribution of gold mineralisation with closer spaced data. This RC drilling program is intended to inform and progress the Horn Island Inferred Resource towards a revised updated resource estimate.

The majority of the RC holes are drilled towards a NE bearing (045˚ azimuth) at approx. 60˚ dip with 1/3[rd] of the holes designed as scissor holes (225˚ azimuth) to test alternative vein orientations and other potential mineralised trends. The gold distribution across the RC scissor holes (10 in total) holes in many instances indicate elevated gold tenor which are considered likely related to drilling down dip of the veining which carries the gold.

All 24 RC holes have returned gold grade assay intercept zones greater than 0.5g/t Au. A summary of these significant gold assay intercepts is presented in the below tables and cross sections (Figures 3-6).

*Gold intercepts are downhole. Hole dip angles are between -60 and -70 degrees.

Comparing the assay data of the 19 diamond drillholes which are in near proximity of the 38 RC drillholes completed to date indicates an approximately 20% higher average grade in the RC data where samples are greater than or equal to 0.5g/t Au.

This increase in average dataset grade is thought to be in some part due to increased data density in sampling the mineralised stockwork over the strike length of the infill program. A significant contribution to the average grade increase is thought to be from the increased sample size of RC drilling compared to half core HQ or NQ sampling with larger samples more able to represent the ‘spotty’ or high nugget mineralisation within the stockworks.

Drilling has confirmed that gold mineralisation in the deposit is contained within stockwork veining, with structural analysis from previous diamond drilling indicating veining is orientated with a dominant SW steeply dipping trend with related sets of low SW dipping veins. Importantly the higher gold assay distribution (>0.5g/t Au) correlates with As-Pb-Cu enrichment and forms a shallow south west plunging envelop across the resource and beyond. The near surface projection of the gold and As-Pb-Cu enrichment correlates with the location of historic and abandoned 1980s Horn Island gold mine open cut pit area. This presents potential in areas immediately below the current open cut pit which the drilling to date has not successfully fully tested.

The Company may consider plans for further drilling including, additional infill and extension drilling programs.

sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.

~ 3kg of RC drill sample was crushed and pulverised and sub sample taken in the ALS
laboratory and analysed. Duplicate field sampling 1:50 – duplicate assaying 1:50 to test for
imprecision. Field reject/duplicate/original sampling weighed and assayed to test for splitter
bias
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected,
including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.

1m interval field duplicates were collected during sampling from cyclone cone splitter at
approximate ratio of 1:50 samples

Selection of 1m bulk reject duplicates were split on site using riffle splitter to obtain an
approximate ~ 3kg sample

unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.

Drill azimuth ranging from 045° and 225° orthogonal or close to orthogonal to the interpreted
structural trend defining the vein zones of the known mineralisation;

Drilling at approximately 045 azimuth is considered to achieve an unbiased sampling of
structures.
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.

It’s not considered to be the case and therefore not reported.

Material and should be stated.

All reported RC sample interval assays have been length weighted.

No top cutting of assays has been applied for these assay results.

Zones of significance are defined as those greater than 0.5 g/t Au.

For display and statistical purposes, below detection limit assays are set to 10%
of the detection limit, i.e. >0.01 g/t is set to 0.001g/t.
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.

Subsequent intervals of similar assay grade may be aggregated by length
weighting to report a longer composite in text statements.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the
drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.

Geometry of mineralisation is defined within a series lensoidal dominantly steeply
and shallow dipping vein cluster arrays and stockworks bounded and controlled
by an underlying brittle to cataclastic fault zone. Drilling has generally intersected
the mineralisation at an oblique to perpendicular to the down dipping trend vein
trends.

The boundaries of the mineralisation in the Horn Island gold deposit and SSR gold
zone, in particular the lateral extents, has not been established by the RC drilling
to date. The mineralisation currently remains open.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect
(e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’).

Down hole lengths only reported for drill data.

Intersections represent down hole apparent widths.

True width has been estimated to be 80-95% of reported intercept.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported These should include,

locations and appropriate sectional views.

Refer to report for all relevant maps, diagrams and tables
Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results
is not practicable, representative reporting of both low
