Summary of Drilling at Carlow Castle
The March Quarterly results include the final assays from the Q4 2020 42-hole multi-drill program and all of the assay results from the Q1 2021 55-hole RC program, with the final assays received 21 April 2021.
Following a multifaceted drilling strategy, these two drilling campaigns at Carlow Castle have returned a number of significant results, which continues to highlight the potential of the deposit. The Main Carlow Castle zone returned positive results with the deep holes, hitting economic grade intersections some ~630m below surface and +400m below the Main Eastern Zone, and was intercepted where expected. There were multi-infill and step-out holes on the Carlow Castle Main Zones (East and West), all defining additional mineral potential on the known and new plunging mineral shoots, extending the mineralisation at depth. Additional holes on the Quod Est Zone has further extended this high-grade mineralised shoot at depth. Targeting geophysical anomalies, drilling discovered the new Cross-Cut Zone that lies east of Quod Est and to the north of the Main Eastern Zone by approximately 300m.
The Company’s knowledge of the structural, alteration and mineralogical controls at Carlow Castle has increased immensely. Most importantly, these results are returning high-grade gold, copper and cobalt assays on the main shoots and defining the extent of the very large lower grade gold-copper-cobalt “halo zone” around the high-grade zones. With the results from these 97 drill holes, the Company has started a new Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) by engaging CSA Global who had calculated the previous JORC 2012 MRE in November 2019. The new MRE is expected to be completed in May 2021.
Figure 1 shows the hole collar locations for the Q1 2021 55-hole program. Table 1 summarises all the significant assay results from the Q1 2021 drill program. A table of the hole collar coordinates is not included in this release as it was included in the 23 April 2021 ASX release.

Table 1: Significant assay results from the 55-hole Q1 2021 RC drilling program.
Carlow Castle Geophysics Program
Resource Potentials (led by Dr Jayson Meyers) conducted an induced polarisation (IP) survey over the Carlow Castle resource area and surrounds in the March Quarter, as well as compiling the high resolution aeromagnetic and radiometric (AMAG) survey that was completed in the previous quarter (as shown on Figure 15 ).
IP surveys include gradient array IP (GAIP) to provide shallow IP chargeability and apparent resistivity anomaly patterns over the eastern extent of the Carlow Castle mineral resource trend and favourable basalt host rocks, as well as over an interpreted basalt zone faulted to the northeast of Carlow Castle which represents a prospective target zone for extensions of Au-Cu-Co mineralisation.
Figure 15 as well as showing the DDIP survey area, also shows preliminary anomalies and possible target areas for drilling. The DDIP survey was completed in late March and the Company is awaiting the final geophysical report for this program.

Paterson Central Au-Cu Project
Phase 1 drilling campaign by the Company was completed in Q4 2020 at the Paterson Central Project located next to the Newcrest Mining / Greatland Gold Havieron gold deposit in the Paterson Province, WA.
Three deep diamond holes were drilled only 2.5km to the east of Havieron in the Nimitz Prospect area for a total of 3,012m, with 1,151m drilled into Proterozoic bedrock of the Lamil Group, which is the host rock to the Havieron and Telfer gold deposits. 71 core grab samples were taken rig-side from 1,151m of basement diamond core at the Nimitz Prospect in Q4 2020.
The Company released assay results in the ASX 8 February 2021 “Paterson Central - Nimitz Drill Core 71 Grab Sample Assay Results and Soil Geochemical Survey Results”.
-
Two of the 71 samples taken to date from Nimitz diamond drill core returned anomalous assay values with a trace element suite similar to Havieron suggesting a pervasive hydrothermal alteration system likely continues into Artemis ground.
-
Hole GDRCD003 sample 89042: 0.79g/t Au, 476ppm Cu, 59.5ppm Bi and 2.56ppm Te. A 5cm quartz-carbonate vein hosted in dolerite from 829m (Figure 3).
-
Hole GDRCD002 samples 89015 & 89016: 0.26g/t Au, 1,565ppm Cu, 45.5ppm Bi and 4.26ppm Te. An 11cm quartz-carbonate vein calcarenite sandstone from 614m.
Core logging at the drill site was suspended in late December 2020 due to cyclonic activity in the Pilbara region. The drill core was boxed and transported to the Company’s Radio Hill core logging facility 35km SW of Karratha, but arrival was further delayed due to the weather. The drill core was then re-logged and sampled in February 2021 and the final assay results were received in April 2021.
Soil Sample Ionic Leach Assay Results Received
The Company received better than expected Ionic Leach soil sample assays from the Paterson Central Project further highlighting the large, top-ranked Apollo (800m x 800m) and Atlas (400m x 400m) targets located north of the Havieron Au-Cu discovery. This was also included in the 8 February 2021 “Paterson Central - Nimitz Drill Core 71 Grab Sample Assay Results and Soil Geochemical Survey Results”.
During the drilling program at the Nimitz Prospect late last year, the exploration team also carried out soil sampling by walking along 18 survey lines oriented to parallel sand dunes, collecting samples at 942 locations. The soil samples were collected using protocols designed by ALS so that samples could be assayed using their proprietary Ionic Leach method for extremely low-level element detection from deep sources. This program extended the Ionic Leach survey at the Paterson Central Project, as previously announced by the Company (see announcement to the ASX on 10 August 2020).

Better than expected Ionic Leach soil sample assays were received.
-
Apollo and Atlas – Au, Cu, Ag in soil assay results reinforce the top ranked nature of these previously identified targets ( Figures 16-18 ).
-
Viking and Lexington – two new major exploration targets have been identified as a result of strong Au in soil anomalism.

The Company successfully negotiated a heritage agreement with the Western Desert Lands Aboriginal Corporation (Jamukurnu-Yapalikunu) in the March quarter. The land access agreement was signed on 19 April 2021 “Paterson Central Project – Land Access and Mineral Exploration Agreement Executed with Western Desert Lands Aboriginal Corporation (Jamukurnu-Yapalikunu)”.
Upon completion of the heritage surveys Figure 19 highlights the high-quality drilling targets at Paterson Central that the company intends to drill in the next campaign.
