Ausgold Awarded $150,000 EIS Grant for Katanning Gold Project

Highlights:

• Ausgold awarded $150,000 grant from the Western Australian Government under the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS)

• Funds to be used to follow up previous high-grade results along a 10km strike length in the Northern Zone.

Ausgold Limited (ASX: AUC) ( Ausgold or the Company ) is pleased to announce that it has again been successful in its application for a $150,000 grant under the Western Australian Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme.

Exploration Incentive Scheme

The Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) is a State Government initiative that aims to encourage exploration in Western Australia for the long-term sustainability of the State’s resources sector. The EIS aims to stimulate increased private sector resource exploration, leading to new mineral and energy discoveries.

Use of EIS Funds

Ausgold will use the EIS grant to partly fund drilling along the regionally significant NNW-striking Datatine – Burong Fault zone, a zone of strongly anomalous gold mineralisation which covers over 10km of strike length (Figure 1). Twenty-one holes for 3,050m are planned along the trend identified in recent drilling and ground gravity surveying (Figure 1 and 2). This new mineralised trend is open along strike and is parallel to a major NE striking regional fault which extends eastward towards Datatine and is perpendicular to the main KGP structure. The RC and diamond drilling will be completed alongside a large regional aircore drill program which is part of Ausgolds 60,000m of planned drilling at Katanning.

Ausgold has previously been the recipient of previous EIS grants from the Western Australian Government (refer ASX Releases - 4 September 2017 and 21 June 2018), with both grants supporting high-grade gold discoveries that ultimately contributed to the significant 1.54Moz Resource foundation the Company holds today. The latest EIS grant will be used for drilling that has the potential to identify additional high-grade gold mineralisation within the Northern Zone which is less than 10 km from the Company’s existing Katanning Gold Project Resource.

Management Comment:

Ausgold’s Managing Director, Matthew Greentree, commented:

“We are pleased to receive significant and continued support from the Western Australian Government with respect to our ambition to identify further growth potential for our existing 1.54Moz Resource at Katanning.

Funds from this EIS grant will be used to follow up previous interesting high-grade results from drilling in the Northern Zone while the Company undertakes its primary large-scale 30,000m RC drilling campaign further south .”
