Highlights

Paterson Project

Diamond drill hole locations for the Apollo, Atlas, Juno and Voyager targets were finalised as were final heritage clearances from the Traditional Owners.

Access roads and multiple drill pads and sumps were constructed and a drill rig is now at the Atlas target.

Atlas was selected to be drilled first as access is more sensitive to wet weather than that at Apollo.

Following testing with a ~800m deep hole at Atlas the rig will move to the Apollo target where multiple, similar depth drillholes are to be drilled. A second rig has been booked to accelerate drilling at Apollo in November and December.

Drilling is expected to continue till the Christmas break that coincides with the typical onset of the short rainy season. With heritage approvals in place as well as access infrastructure and drill pads the Company expects to very quickly be able to reactivate drilling post the rainy season which typically abates in late February.

Carlow Castle Au-Cu-Co Project

A drill campaign totalling 60 RC holes for 14,725 metres was completed on the 8 September. The holes were planned based on new interpretations for Carlow Castle Main Zone, Quod Est and Crosscut areas to test plunging high grade shoots at depth. The drilling was also designed to test the Good Luck and Little Fortune exploration prospects, located approximately one kilometre to the south of Carlow Castle.

As of the 30 September, results had yet to be received. First preliminary assays from this programme have been received post quarterly.

Assay results for the diamond drilling returned grades of:

  • 7m @ 4.70g/t Au, 1.58% Cu, 0.30% Co from Holes 21CCDD001 from 163m including o 2m @ 12.00g/t Au, 4.37% Cu and 0.86% Co.

  • 5m @ 2.88g/t Au, 0.81% Cu, 0.07% Co from Hole 21CCDD002 from 23m including o 1m @ 11g/t Au, 1.41% Cu, 0.18% Co

  • 3m @ 4.66g/t Au, 3.03% Cu, 0.11% Co from Hole 21CCDD003 from 122m including o 1m @ 9.52g/t Au, 2.47% Cu, 0.11% Co

Carlow Castle Mineral Resource Estimate

The Company is currently reviewing a new interpretation of the Carlow Castle Project via a new strategy, targeting higher-grade mineralised features. The Q3 2021 RC drill program has been designed to achieve this objective and allow the Company to clearly demonstrate the potential of the project to host a robust and significant gold, copper and cobalt resource.

SUMMARY OF 2021 TARGETS AT PATERSON CENTRAL

Exploration in 2021 at Paterson Central will commence in the central and southern portions of the licence area as shown in Figure 1. Atlas and Apollo will be the first targets to be drilled followed systematically by the remaining target areas including Juno and Voyager that lie some 8km to the North of Atlas.

SUMMARY OF DRILLING AT CARLOW CASTLE

A 60 hole RC drilling program was commenced and completed during the quarter. The holes were planned based on new interpretations for Carlow Castle Main Zone, Quod Est and Crosscut Areas to test the plunging shoots at depth, below what previously appears to be a low grade patch between the western main zone and the high grade eastern zone. The drilling was also designed to test the Good Luck and Little Fortune exploration prospects, located approximately one kilometre to the south of Carlow Castle, located in Figure 2.

==> picture [434 x 285] intentionally omitted <==

RC drilling was completed on 8 September with a total of 14,725 metres drilled. As of the 30 September, results had yet to be received.

Drill statistics and completed holes are shown in Table 1.

Drilling the Carlow Castle main zone had intersected significant sulphide zones at interpreted pierce point target zones, as shown in Figure 3. This is an encouraging result with respect to

the interpretation of Carlow.

The five diamond holes (holes 21CCDD001 to 005) in the Carlow Castle Eastern Zone were designed by CSA to test the orientation of the ore-zone, confirm mineralisation’s widths and gather structural information to build confidence for the next round of drilling, (ASX Announcement 20 August 2021, High Grade Intersections from Diamond Core drilled at Carlow Castle ).

ARV designed the two holes (21CCDD006 and 21CCDD007) in Crosscut for structural information and twinning an existing RC hole to confirm orientations on mineralisation direction and grade comparisons. The location of the drill collars is shown in Figure 4, with relevant sections shown from Figure 5 to 8.

It was noted in drill core that mineralisation was associated with breccias that commonly coincided with pillow basalts. Higher grade zones were associated with breccias with semimassive sulphides, with peripheral fracturing to the main zones, hosting lower grades. More massive competent basalt tended to fracture as stockworks, creating a finer veining that hosted moderate to lower grade mineralisation.

Alteration was also notably stronger in areas of pillow basalts, comprising of sericite-quartz. A later chlorite alteration is also noted, coincident with a later phase of mineralisation. Further work is in progress to understand the relationships between textures, timing and the paragenetic sequence of the mineralisation at Carlow Castle.

Good Luck Prospect

Good Luck drill targeting was planned to test VTEM plates as developed by Southern Geoscience Consultants and reprocessed by Resource Potential.

A total of 8 holes were drilled for a total of 1,836m, with the collar location and drill traces showing occurrence of sulphides shown in Figure 9.

Several holes were cased with PVC to enable any future downhole geophysics.

Assay results are pending for this drilling.

Little Fortune Prospect

Drilling here is also targeting VTEM plates, along with trends as defined by geological exposure. A total of 7 holes for 2,011 metres was drilled, as shown in Figure 10.

Sulphides were also encountered downhole, coincident with VTEM plates.

Several holes were cased with PVC to enable any future downhole geophysics.

Assay results are pending for this drilling.

CARLOW CASTLE MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE

Work has commenced on updating the interpretation for Carlow Castle which will allow for effective geological control through definition of high-grade shoots and structures. The aim of this reinterpretation is to increase the tonnage and grade through effective drill targeting. Work during the quarterly included:

  • Interpretation of the geology and structural setting;

  • Remodelling and generating additional drill targets;

  • Step out drilling to add additional Au ounces and Cu tonnes to the the current resource base;

  • Regional exploration review to generate new exploration targets.

The recent drill program was designed to test the new geological interpretation, with assays results yet to be received.

DATABASE

As part of the Artemis protocol, the database is undergoing a revamp to improve security and the ability to extract data and information that will help in developing targets and add value to the company’s portfolio. In this case, Expedio Data Management has been procured to securely manage Artemis data.

All drilling collars, surveys, samples, and geology data migrated from Geobank to OCRIS. Assay migration ongoing and final validation checks to ensure all available assay results have been migrated.

Expedio will run full database exports whenever new data has been added for the current drill campaign.

New coding is being developed.

CORPORATE

Health and Safety

No drilling is planned at Carlow Castle for the next two quarters – while the
Company reviews the data from the previous programme and produces a revised
mineral resource estimate.

  • 8.8.2 Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it believe that they will be successful?

  • Answer: The Company has liquid investments of $0.75m and will receive $0.5m from project sale in December. In addition the Company expects that proceeds from additional non-core asset sales will generate sufficient cash to enable it to fund its exploration programme through to the end of FY 2022.

Answer: See 8.8.2

Note: where item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, all of questions 8.8.1, 8.8.2 and 8.8.3 above must be answered.
