Beacon has entered into an exclusive option to purchase Exploration Licence E57/921 and entered into a farm in and joint venture with Black Oak Minerals Limited (“ Black Oak Minerals ”) on E57/961, P57/1108 and P57/1109 located approximately 4km west of Sandstone, Western Australia ( “Project” ).

Historical Exploration

E57/921 has previously been the focus of intense prospecting activities by modern day prospectors with metal detectors and has also included some small scale low impact mining activities. The main prospect within E57/921 is the Golden Raven prospect . While the exact amount of recovered gold is not known, a large amount of eluvial gold and specimen gold has been identified and recovered from the near surface at the Golden Raven Prospect.

Recent Rock Chip & Soil Sampling

Two phases of rock chip and soil sampling have been completed at the Golden Raven prospect on and near existing shallow low impact mine workings. Both programs have returned high-grade values from the sampling.

Sampling has involved the sampling of in-situ weathered bedrock material (indurated saprolite), which has been exposed by the low impact mining activities, along with sampling of ferricrete and ferruginous soil, which form a shallow 1-2m thick horizon above the in-situ weathered profile. Most of the eluvial gold appears to have been hosted by the upper 1-2m thick ferricrete-soil profile, however, a number of high-grade results (greater than 5ppm gold) have also been returned from the in-situ weathered bedrock. Table 1 summarises the most significant results and Figure 2 shows the complete set of rock chip and soil sample results with sample numbers.

Immediate Shallow Drilling Program to Commence

Beacon has commenced a shallow drilling program, using a blast-hole rig, at Golden Raven over and adjacent to the existing shallow prospecting excavation. This work is being completed within an area covered by a preexisting and approved Department of Mines & Petroleum POW (Program of Work). The track mounted blast hole rig will drill six meter deep vertical holes on a 3m x 3m and 3m x 4m pattern to cover the currently known gold-anomalous zone, as identified from shallow prospecting activities. The drill pattern will be extended both north and south of the shallow low impact mining activities to better define the extent of the identified zone. The results of the shallow blast hole drilling will be reported as they become available.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria
JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down
hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning
of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work
has been done this would be relatively
simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3
kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
• Sampling has involved rock chip sampling
and grab soil sampling from selected sites
proximal to and within recent low impact
mining workings at the Golden Raven
prospect.
• Due to access issues, a standard grid pattern
for the sampling could not be employed, but
rather sampling has been completed across
regolith and rock exposed by the shallow
prospecting and mining activities.
• Conventional rock chip sampling, using a
geologist pick to acquire enough
representative sample, has been employed,
while the soil sampling has involved single
grab samples from selected sites or
individual samples from approximately 2
metres apart composited into a single
sample representing approximately 8
metres in width.
• Rock chip sampling focused on sampling
weathered bedrock material, interpreted to
be in-situ, while the soil sampling focused
on sampling the unconsolidated near-
surface ferruginous soil and some cemented
and broken ferricrete material, which forms
a 1-2 metre horizon above the in-situ
weathered profile.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core
diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc).
• No drilling has been completed.

Commentary
• A regular grid pattern could not be
employed due the location and distribution
of suitable sampling points within the
shallow workings, however, samples of the
in-situ weathered bedrock material were
collected approximately every 3-5 metres
apart along the shallow workings and
provides an acceptable coverage of the
exposed regolith within the shallow
workings.
• Soil sampling was completed
approximately every 10 metres along the
strike of the workings and on both sides of
the workings. Sampling was generally of
stockpiled ferruginous soil and ferricrete
material, which had originally covered the
immediate prospect area.
• Some limited composite soil sampling has
been employed as previously described.
• A summary map showing the locations of
the sampling in relation to the approximate
position of the shallow workings is shown
attached to the bodyof the text.
• Samples were collected to provide
maximum coverage of the regolith and
geology exposed by the shallow low impact

• At this early stage of exploration, the
orientation of any possible gold-
mineralised structure is largely unknown.
• Numbered calico bags were used to collect
the samples, which were transported
directly to the selected ALS Global
Kalgoorlie assay laboratory.
• All sample preparation and analyses were
completed in Kalgoorlie.
• Sampling and assay techniques used are
considered to be mineral exploration

• Refer to this ASX announcement for a brief
description Golden Raven prospect.
• Field inspection indicates that some
vertical rotary air blast (RAB) or aircore
drilling has been previously completed
close to the shallow low impact mining
workings, but has stopped short of these
workings and the strike of these workings,
meaning that the immediate area of the
workings has not been tested by this
drilling. The nature and detail of this
historical drilling is not known and a review
of the WA Department of Mines and
Petroleum WAMEX mineral exploration
reporting database shows no record of this
drilling. Further investigations into this
historical drillingare continuing.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style

• The tenement area lies within the northern
parts of the Sandstone greenstone belt,
which is located within the central-north of
the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia.
• As a general guideline, exploration is
targeting modest to large sized, but high-
grade, lode, shear and/or stock work-
hosted gold deposits in the order of 20,000
– 500,000 ounces of contained gold at a
grade above 3 grams per tonne gold. The
Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia hosts a
large number of gold deposits of this type
and size range.

• No averaging of the raw assay data has
been implemented. Raw data has been
used to determine the locations of gold-
anomalous samples, zones and trends.
Geological assessment and interpretation
has been used to determine the relevance
of the identified anomalous areas with
respect to the sampled regolith.
• The geometry and orientation of gold-
mineralised zones is not well understood at
this stage of exploration.

Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to
the understanding of the exploration
results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material drill
holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole
collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres) of
the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception
depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the information
is not Material and this exclusion does not
detract from the understanding of the
report, the Competent Person should
clearly explain why this is the case.
• No drilling has been completed.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
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.
The assumptions used for any reporting
of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.
• No averaging of the raw assay data has
been implemented. Raw data has been
used to determine the locations of gold-
anomalous samples, zones and trends.
Geological assessment and interpretation
has been used to determine the relevance
of the identified anomalous areas with
respect to the sampled regolith.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole
lengths are reported, there should be a
clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down
_hole length, true width not known’). _
• The geometry and orientation of gold-
mineralised zones is not well understood at
this stage of exploration.

Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.
• The location of all sampling is shown in the
accompanying map attached to the body of
the text. The gold grade of each sample is
also shown.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and
high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.
• All assay results are shown on the
summary map attached to the body of the
text.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including
(but not limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey results;
geochemical survey results; bulk samples
– size and method of treatment;
metallurgical test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.
• No other substantive data currently
considered necessary at this stage of
exploration.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further
work (eg tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future
drilling areas, provided this information is
not commercially sensitive.
• Assay results will be further assessed to
determine whether additional exploration,
such as aircore and/or reverse circulation
drilling will be warranted.
