BEACON DOUBLES MINERAL RESOURCE INVENTORY, MINE LIFE EXTENDED

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Maiden Resource and Reserve Estimates for Beacon Minerals’ recently acquired MacPhersons Project significantly increases the Company’s existing global resource inventory:

  • Initial open pit Mineral Resource Estimate to contain 4.8M tonnes @ 1.14g/t Au for 176k ounces , which more than doubles Beacon’s previous Mineral Resource Estimate of 3.7M tonnes @ 1.33g/t Au for 156k ounces (as announced on 31 July 2021)

  • Initial open pit Ore Reserves are estimated to contain 1.6m tonnes @ 1.17g/t for 60k ounces , a material increase to the current 2.3M tonnes @ 1.49 g/t Au for 113k ounces

  • MacPhersons Project is only 45kms from the Jaurdi Mine and operating mill

  • MacPhersons Ore Reserves to extend existing Jaurdi mine life to approximately 6 years, potential for further increases through additional Mineral Resource to Ore Reserve conversion

  • Significant exploration upside exists at MacPhersons to further grow the Mineral Resource

  • Updated resource now includes results from 118 previously unreported RC holes drilled between 2018‐ 2020 which include:

o A‐Cap  APRC002 16 meters @ 1.66 g/t from 77 meters  APRC006 4 meters @ 8.95 g/t from 210 meters  APRC012 11 meters @ 2.7 g/t from 107 meters  PGCL0087 14 meters @ 3.91 g/t from 28 meters

o Tycho  PGCL0065 7 meters @ 3.75 g/t from 93 meters  TYRC060 8 meters @ 4.73g/t from 80 meters, including: ‐ 1 meter @ 25.46g/t from 85 meters  TYRC060 18 meters @ 1.84g/t from 98 meters

Managing Director/Chairman Graham McGarry comments on the maiden resource and reserve estimate:

“The acquisition of the MacPhersons Project has complimented our current operation being in close proximity to Beacon’s Jaurdi Gold Project. The identified ore bodies are all located within 45km of the Jaurdi Mill. Beacon is in a unique position to realize the economic benefits from this new acquisition.

“The Company is also excited with the exploration potential, with exploration targets being generated for both gold and nickel, we look forward to delving into the exploration side in the coming year.

“This was a pivotal transaction for Beacon that will increase the mine life at Jaurdi by 3 years based on Reserves, with the potential for further increases from the Resource Base. It’s a very exciting time to be a Beacon shareholder.”

During the period between October 2018 and September 2020 Hanking Australia Investments Pty Ltd (Hanking) drilled 118 RC holes for 16,273 meters at various prospects at MacPhersons and estimation work by Cube Consulting Pty Ltd (Cube) was subsequently completed for Hanking in November 2020.

Beacon acquired a 100% interest in MacPhersons in August 2021. Cube was engaged to update a Mineral Resource estimate (MRE) for MacPhersons following pit optimisation work carried out by Beacon in September 2021.

The updated MRE has been reported above optimised $2,850 pit shells using 0.5g/t lower cut‐off.

Further assessment of the other exploration areas within the tenements is ongoing and details will be released in due course.

PROJECT GEOLOGY

The MacPhersons tenements encompass the Hampton ultramafic sequence on the southern limb of the Tindal’s anticline and is bound by the Lindsay’s Basalt to the West and Gleeson’s Basalt to the East. The Hampton Ultramafic sequence hosts several historic mines including Surprise, Barbara, Shirl, 28 Pit, Noble 5 (SBS Group – Northern Star).

The main MacPhersons Reward and A‐Cap deposits are hosted within an intrusive Tonalite along the western Mafic‐Ultramafic contact. Gold mineralisation at the MacPhersons, A‐Cap and Tycho projects have been delineated by a significant amount of drilling, and to a lesser extent, Pumphreys, Queenslander, Bakers and Franks Find.

MacPhersons Reward and A‐Cap Deposits

At MacPhersons (3 km east of the Burbank’s Shear), the stratigraphy has been intruded by a felsic intrusive unit along the lowermost basalt‐komatiite contact. This intrusive commonly referred to as the MacPhersons Reward tonalite is host to gold mineralisation within the MacPhersons deposits area. The tonalite, a medium to coarse grained igneous rock is 100 m thick and within the immediate mine area extends for 800 m along strike in a NE‐SW direction, mapping and geological interpretations suggest the tonalite extends a further 1600 m SW to the Bakers Find prospect for an overall strike length of 2.4 km.

Based on mapping in the MacPhersons open pits, the quartz veins have two main orientations, one set dips approximately 40° towards the NE, the other set approximately 40° towards the SW. Veins may thicken toward the contacts of the tonalite but generally terminate after intruding the ultramafic and basaltic rocks.

Gold occurs within quartz veins and in association with pyrite and pyrrhotite. It also occurs in altered wall rocks and fractures where there are sulphide minerals (dominantly pyrrhotite and pyrite). Visible gold is closely associated with quartz veining.

Tycho Deposit

At Tycho the gold mineralisation is associated with shallow dipping biotite + chlorite + talc shears within a NW – SE striking, shallow NE dipping, sequence of former high magnesium basalt and komatiite rocks (Hampton Formation), that have been metamorphosed to upper greenschist facies. This sequence strikes at 045⁰ and has a near vertical dip. GSWA geological mapping has the Tycho deposit situated adjacent to a synclinal axis.

The carbonate talc altered serpentinised komatiite unit seen at Tycho consists of a number of thin flows. Relict spinifex and cumulate textures are common. Siderite occurs as randomly orientated networks of veins and veinlets. Disseminated carbonate is also commonly seen through this unit. Higher gold grades (>1.5 g/t) are associated with a weak foliation within the former komatiite.

Gold mineralisation at Tycho is shear zone hosted, strikes 290⁰ and dipping ‐20⁰N, consisting of a series of stacked en echelon ore shoots. Higher gold grades appear to be associated with an NE striking near vertical structural or lithological control that is yet to be determined.

EXPLORATION DRILLING

During the period between October 2018 and September 2020 Hanking drilled 118 RC holes for 16,273 meters at various prospects at MacPhersons. These holes have not previously been released to the ASX and are summarised in Table 1 below, with full hole details included in Appendix 1.

Best results from this drilling includes:

  • A‐Cap

o APRC002 16 meters @ 1.66 g/t from 77 meters o APRC006 4 meters @ 8.95 g/t from 210 meters o APRC012 11 meters @ 2.7 g/t from 107 meters o PGCL0087 14 meters @ 3.91 g/t from 28 meters  Tycho o PGCL0065 7 meters @ 3.75 g/t from 93 meters o TYRC060 8 meters @ 4.73g/t from 80 meters, including: ‐ 1 meter @ 25.46g/t from 85 meters o TYRC060 18 meters @ 1.84g/t from 98 meters

MACPHERSONS PROJECT ‐ MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE

As the resources occur at or near surface, the models were constructed with a view towards selective open pit mining. The reporting lower cut‐off grade of 0.5g/t was selected by Cube following guidance from Beacon. Therefore, a 0.5 g/t Au lower cut‐off was deemed appropriate.

For the 2021 MRE, a total of 1,445 holes were used with 100,890 m of drilling. A total of 74% of the drilling is RC and diamond drill core. A summary of the MacPhersons Mineral Resources, constrained by A$2,850 gold price optimised pit shells, is presented in Table 2 below.

Drilling and Sampling Methods

RC and diamond drilling (DD) since 1993 makes up approximately 80% of drill hole records used to inform blocks for the estimate. Open hole percussion holes (RAB) were excluded from the estimation. Most drilling completed is orientated normal to the dip of the mineralisation, providing a representative sample across the mineralisation. Cube has conducted standard validation checks of the drilling data to be used for the 2021 MRE. The data validation checks were completed prior to exploratory data analysis for resource estimation.

For DD core, half core sampling was mostly collected, with nominal sample lengths of 1 m and minimum sample length of 0.15 m. Most of the diamond holes at Tycho and MacPhersons was drilled producing HQ and PQ core.

In all the deposit areas, the more recent RC drilling used downhole face hammer (post 1994). Limited information was recorded for RC holes drilled prior to 1994. For the RC drilling, 1 m samples were mostly collected for gold assay. In waste intervals, either 3 m or 4 m composite sampling was carried out initially, followed by 1 m interval sampling where anomalous gold was detected.

Assaying Methods

Assay laboratories in Kalgoorlie have mostly been used for gold analysis of samples from the MacPhersons deposits.

Samples from the 2019‐2020 drilling programs conducted by Hanking were sent to Jining Testing & Inspection (in China) for gold assay by Fire Assay with 30 g or 50 g charge by AAS.

Previous drilling gold analysis has mostly been by fire assay with an AAS finish (ALS, SGS Laboratory, KAL or Kalassay Laboratories). Other less common assaying methods prior to 1995 included gold assay by fire assay with ICP‐MS finish (Ultra Labs) and gold assay by 50 g Aqua Regia digestion (AAL, Amdel, Comlabs).

Classification

The Mineral Resource has been classified as Measured, Indicated, and Inferred based on data spacing and using a combination of historical knowledge of mining history, geological and mineralisation continuity, as well as the drill spacing and geostatistical measures to provide confidence in the tonnage and grade estimates.

The main criteria used for resource classification includes the following:

  • Measured Mineral Resources – defined nominally by 5m x 5m spaced sample data or less. Predominantly includes mineralisation domained from close spaced RC drilling from the base of the historical open pit workings down to vertical depths of 20 m.

  • Indicated Mineral Resources – defined nominally by 20 m x 20 m spaced sample data or less. Along strike and depth extensions have been taken to half drill spacing.

  • Inferred Mineral Resources – Inferred Mineral Resources are defined by data greater than 20 m x 20 m spaced drilling and the confidence that the continuity of geology and mineralisation can be extended along strike and at depth. For MacPherson, the main mineralisation domains were projected to the limits of the interpreted tonalite dyke contacts.

Densities

Descriptions for bulk density determinations are based on the results previously reported in the CSA Global reports by Hodgson (2012) and Louw (2012) for MacPhersons and Tycho, respectively:

  • MacPhersons ‐ Bulk densities are based on 113 diamond core samples taken in July 2012 from data records provided by MRP. The samples’ locations were flagged using the lithology and oxidation.

  • Tycho – Bulk density measurements were completed for 91 diamond core samples. The density measurements were concentrated in the two parts of the deposit where diamond drill fans were drilled through the central section. This gives a good data spread of density measurements from near surface to almost the deepest part of the mineralisation interpreted in 2012.

Interpretation

  • The geological interpretations used for the 2021 MRE work are reliant on predominantly closed spaced recent RC and DDH drilling. Drill spacing for the deposits is nominally 10 m x 10m spaced RC and DDH holes, stepping out to 20 m x 20 m or greater in the deposit extensions. The mineralised domains acted as a hard boundary to control the 2021 MRE.

  • MacPhersons Reward ‐ mineralisation occurs in shallow dipping stacked vein quartz‐filled shears trending oblique and hosted within NE ‐SW trending tonalite dyke intrusive.

  • A‐Cap – Located 600 m SW of the MacPhersons Reward workings and consists of small historical workings. Controls on gold mineralisation are similar in style and extent to the MacPherson mineralisation.

  • Tycho – situated 2.5 km south of MacPhersons. The deposit area contains historical workings, and costeaning. Previous drilling has identified NW trending, shallow dipping biotite‐chlorite‐talc shear hosted gold mineralisation

Economic compositing using a grade cut‐off of 0.3 g/t Au was carried out in order to define relatively contiguous zones of gold mineralisation. The cut‐off used is based on the low‐grade threshold of the raw cumulative distribution plots of the gold data. Final validated 3DM wireframes were generated in Surpac.

Cut‐off Grades

Cube reviewed the statistics of the composites to check for outlier composite grades prior to estimation. The composite data was reviewed for each domain and gold grade caps were chosen, where appropriate, using the following criteria:

  • By consideration of the stability of the upper tail of the grade distribution, as observed in log‐probability plots and log‐histograms

  • By graphical inspection of the spatial grade distribution.

Estimation Methodology

Two separate block models have been created, one covering the MacPherson/A‐Cap and Pumphrey deposits and a smaller block model covering the Tycho deposit.

Ordinary Kriging (OK) estimation method was used to estimate gold into the 3D block model for the 2021 MRE. Kriging Neighborhood Analysis (KNA) was undertaken for the well‐informed domains to establish reasonable search neighborhoods.

Mining, Metallurgical and other Modifying Factors

Most of the gold mineralisation occurs within 150 m vertical depth from the surface. Therefore, any future mining method is likely to be bulk open pit mining at 2.5 m to 5 m bench heights. Open Pit mining has previously taken place with historical documentation providing good background information for future mining considerations.

Pit optimisation work on the 2021 block models was completed by Entech Pty Ltd. Pit optimisation shells were generated in Whittle software based on:

  • Gold Price assumption of A$ 2,850/oz for optimised pit shells.

  • Cost experience for Mining, Processing and Administration for similar size projects assessed by Beacon

  • Mining dilution applied was 10% for all pit shells; mining recovery was estimated at 95%

  • Wall angles of 47° for MacPherson Deposits, and 50° for Tycho

  • A mill recovery of 94% for MacPherson and 94% for Tycho – based on estimates by Beacon, referenced to previous milling and historical test work.

MACPHERSONS PROJECT – ORE RESERVES

Entech Pty Ltd (Entech) were commissioned by Beacon to provide an independent Ore Reserve estimate for the MacPhersons Reward Project (MacPhersons and Tycho) as at October 2021.

The Ore Reserve estimate is based on JORC‐compliant Mineral Resource estimates being released in conjunction with the Ore Reserve estimate. The Ore Reserve statement is based on a pre‐feasibility study (PFS) mining schedule and financial model carried out by Entech.

Measured and Indicated Resources have been converted to Proved and Probable Ore Reserves respectively subject to mine design physicals and an economic evaluation. Any Inferred material contained within the mine plan has been treated as waste. The Ore Reserves have been defined at delivery to the processing plant ROM pad.

The Ore Reserve estimate is based on financials and modifying factors determined as part of this mining study.

Ore from MacPhersons and Tycho will be extracted using surface mining techniques. Surface mining contractors will provide mining services using a conventional mechanised fleet consisting of 120t sized excavators loading 90t trucks for load and haul, with diesel powered mobile drills drilling blastholes and ANFO emulsion explosives delivered to these holes by mobile explosive mixing units.

Entech generated independent expert geotechnical recommendations for the Macphersons and Tycho mine designs to a PFS level of detail.

Metallurgical recoveries were based on detailed information provided by Beacon utilizing the existing Jaurdi processing facility.

Revenue was based on a gold price assumption of AU$2,200/oz. A Western Australian government royalty of 2.5% as well as a “Bill Powell” royalty of $2/t ore has been applied in the financial model. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the Ore Reserves are still economically viable with negative commodity price movements of up to 15%.

All material was subjected to an economic evaluation. A detailed financial model to a PFS level of accuracy was generated for the evaluation. Although the business case for the mining study contained Inferred material, the Ore Reserve estimate mine plan described in this report was shown to be technically and financially feasible with Inferred material excluded.

All required environmental and regulatory approvals have been granted for the operations and have been supplied to Entech by Beacon.

NEXT STEPS

Regional Prospects

There are several prospects outside of the two current resource areas that provide excellent exploration opportunities. These opportunities will be reviewed and ranked alongside the current Jaurdi exploration targets prior to developing a revised exploration plan for the second half of FY2022.

Resource Extension

There are several opportunities to convert resource classifications from inferred resources to indicated with further drilling, including within the current ore reserve areas. Further drilling at depth also has potential to define an underground resource.

Pre‐Mining Activities

The Company will continue to work on site infastructure, dewatering and applicable mining and environmental approvals to enable a smooth transition to mining when required.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques
Nature and quality of sampling
(e.g. cut channels, random chips,
or specific specialized 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

In
cases
where
‘industry
standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple
(e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling

All RC holes completed at Tycho since 2011 by MRP, PGO and Hanking were sampled at 1m
intervals from rig mounted cone splitter to produce a sample of approximately 3kg to be
sent to the laboratoryfor analysis.
Drilling techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse
circulation, open‐hole hammer,
rotary air blast, Auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. 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.).

The drilling programmes at MacPhersons, Pumphreys and Tycho deposits comprised both
RC and diamond core techniques.

Diamond holes at MacPhersons, including A‐Cap Lode, were drilled in 1985 and between
2010 to 2012, 1985 drilling program was not well recorded, 2010‐2012 program was drilled
at HQ and PQ.

Majority of diamond holes at Tycho were drilled in 2011, drilling used only HQ3 core to drill
the holes however, this resulted in loss of core especially in the weathered zone. To resolve
this PQ3 core size was introduced for greater core recovery within the weathered zone.
Hole depth less than 90m the entire hole was drilled in PQ3.

Three diamond holes drilled at Tycho by CNGL prior to 1995 were completed in PQ3.

Reverse circulation (RC) with downhole hammer. Hole diameter of RC holes were generally
146mm. RC holesprior to 1994,limited information was recorded.
Drill sample recovery

sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the
samples.

Whether a relationship exists
between sample recovery and
grade and whether sample bias

fine/coarse material.

At MacPhersons deposit, diamond drill core loss (in metres) in ore zone sampled area was
measured in the core trays and recorded database, overall, 0.82% core loss in sampled area
for drilling since 2010, unsampled area is unknown.

RC drilling completed at MacPhersons since 2010, recovery was recorded by rig geologist.
Prior to 2010 drilling recovery was not recorded.

At Tycho deposit, diamond drill core loss (in metres) in ore zone sampled area was
measured in the core trays and recorded database, overall, 1.2% core loss in sampled area,
unsampled area is unknown.

RC drilling completed by MacPhersons recovery was recorded by rig geologist. Prior to
MacPherson drilling recovery was not recorded.

RC drill holes completed at Tycho prior to 2008 by CNGL and FML, sample recovery was not
well documented.

Sample recovery from RC drill holes completed since 2011 by MPR, PGO and Hanking
appeared to be of consistent sizing,suggestingminimal sample loss.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples
have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level
of detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical
studies.

Diamond core and RC chips have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation.

A total of 22,325 intervals were logged at MacPhersons and Pumphreys with a total length
of 55,632.76m (RC, diamond and RAB). Logging has been conducted both qualitatively and
quantitatively – full description of lithologies, alteration, weathering, colour, and
comments are noted for drilling since 2010.The total amount of relevant data used in the
estimate for those two deposits is 52,643.36m(RC & diamond).

Standard results were within expected limits, indicating the laboratory was assaying to
sufficient levels of accuracy and repeatability.

Duplicate samples show some degree of scatter, which is considered to reflect the nugget
nature of gold mineralisation.

Blanks returned very low values suggesting there is no systemic contamination during
sample preparation.

Recent drilling in 2020 at Tycho infilled to approximately 25m x 25m. Drilling through the
majority of the Tycho project area is 10 ‐25 m by 10‐25m which is sufficient to establish
geological and grade continuity to the level of classification of the Mineral Resource.

Drilling through the MacPhersons deposit is 10 ‐20 m by 10‐25m which is sufficient to
establish geological and grade continuity to the level of classification of the Mineral
Resource. Most of the upper section of those deposits were drilled at 10 X 10m spacing.

Drilling occurs on MGA grid and drill lines were generally at SW‐NE direction at
MacPhersons with holes oriented to SW. This orientation is appropriate to test the shallow
grid NE dipping lodes with minimal bias.

Drilling occurs on MGA grid and drill lines were generally at NW‐SE direction at Pumphreys
deposit, with holes oriented to SE. This orientation is appropriate to test the shallow grid
NW dipping lodes with minimal bias.

Drilling occurs on MGA grid and drill lines were generally at SW‐NE direction at Tycho, with

Prior to Hanking’s drilling,sample securitywas not recorded.
Audits or reviews
The results of any Audits or
reviews of sampling techniques
and data.

There was no review of historical sampling prior to 2010 for MacPhersons and 2007 at
Tycho due to lack of records.

Sampling between 2010 and 2012 was reviewed during last MRE in 2012.

Cube conducted a data compilation review and validation prior to checking the previous
resource estimation. This involved checks for duplicate surveys, downhole survey errors,
assays, and geological intervals beyond drillhole total depths, overlapping intervals, and
gaps between intervals

The new 2019‐2020 drilling database was reviewed by both Cube and Entech

The sampling processes are appropriate for this type of deposit and were observed to be
carried out in a reliable fashion.

The MacPhersons project was originally discovered by Mr Bill Powell in 1983.

Between 1984 and 1987, significant drilling and mining was completed at MacPhersons.

Between 1984 and early 1986, the Cord Holdings Pty Ltd‐Powell Mining‐Elders Resources JV
completed a significant amount of drilling in the MacPhersons Reward mine area.

Between 1989 through to 2010, no modern‐day exploration was conducted at MacPhersons
area.

In 1993, the Coolgardie Gold N.L. – Wouldham JV completed percussion drilling testing the
mullock dumps and road reserves to evaluate stockpiles and pillar material at MacPhersons
Rewards mine aera.

Between 1984 and 1985, following Bill Powell’s discovery at MacPhersons, A‐Cap Development
Ltd commenced exploration activities at A‐Cap area, including a RAB and RC drill program.

Between 1986 and 1988, Roebuck Resources N.L had undertaken some exploration activities
at A‐Cap area, work included geological mapping, compilation of previous explorers data,
compilation of airborne magnetic, flying of aerial photography, resampling, and logging of
previous explorers rotary drill holes, soil geochemical sampling, trenching sampling, RAB and
RC drilling. Both RAB and RC drilling focussed in the area previously explored by A‐Cap with
generally disappointing results.

Samson Exploration N.L continued some regional exploration activities south of A‐Cap Lode,
included 5 holes were drilled at Pumphreys deposit.

Between 1996 and 1999, Spinifex Gold N.L. (“Spinifex”) conducted field reconnaissance, review
of exploration data, RC drilling and resource estimation work. Within the A‐Cap Lode area,
vertical RC drilling was completed on a 20m x 20m spacing to a depth of 75m as part of a
resource evaluation program beneath the A‐Cap Lode.

Between 2007 and 2008, Cullen Exploration Pty Limited, completed two RC holes in the
southern corner of the A‐Cap Lode.

The Tycho project was originally discovered in late 1980s by CGNL from a soil sampling
program.

The mining licence M15/40 was first granted in 1984 for a period of 21 years.

Since 1989 to 1994, 77 holes (44 RC holes and 3 diamond holes) were drilled at Tycho by CGNL
for a total of 4476.7m. In addition to RC and Diamond drill holes, there were RAB drillholes
were completed by CGNL during the period, however, all RAB drilling was excluded from the
MRE work.

From 2006 to 2007, FML was JV with Matador to explore Tycho area, 5 RC holes were
completed during the period.

Since 2010, the MacPhersons project, including MacPhersons /Tycho/Pumphreys deposits, has
been actively explored by numerous companies, including Hanking Australia.

MacPhersons Rewards (MPR) was listed in 2011 and completed a significant exploration
program since 2010 at MacPhersons project. A total of 159 holes combined RC and diamond
drilling were completed at MacPhersons and a 49 holes of diamond drill program and a 31
holes of RC drill program were completed for a total of 7,136m at Tycho.

Primary Gold took over the ownership from MRP in 2016 and completed a total of 9 RC holes
at MacPhersons and a 4 RC hole drill program in 2017 to confirm the Tycho mineralisation

PGO submitted a mining proposal for MacPhersons area in late 2017 and this was granted for
mining activities.

At beginning of 2018, PGO completed 38 shallow RC holes at MacPhersons deposit and 93
shallow vertical RC holes at Tycho as a preparation of mining.

In June 2018, Hanking Australia (Hanking) acquired 100% of listed company PGO. After
significant review the drill program resumed in 2019. Since then, 42 RC holes were completed
at MacPhersons for a total of 6,304m and 61 RC holes were completed for a total of 8,543m at
Tycho.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The MacPhersons project area is in the Kalgoorlie Terrane, a sub‐division of the Eastern
Goldfields Province which is further sub‐divided into four major domains: the Coolgardie, Ora
Banda, Kambalda and Boorara Domains; and two smaller domains – the Bullabulling and Parker
Domains (Swager et al., 1990). These domains are separated by crustal‐scale shear zones,
which are considered important for focussing gold mineralisation.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

The project area is located in the centre of the Coolgardie Domain. The stratigraphy of this
domain is well documented and has been divided into three meta‐sedimentary and meta‐
volcanic units, a lower basalt unit overlain in turn by a komatiite, an upper basalt which
compared to neighbouring domains is often poorly developed or non‐existent, then overlain
by felsic volcanic, volcaniclastic and sedimentary rocks. Layered and differentiated mafic sills
and felsic intrusives can occur at various levels within the stratigraphic succession. Additionally,
the Coolgardie Domain is characterised by a structural repetition of the basalt‐ komatiite
interval of the regional succession.

The structure of the Coolgardie domain is dominated by greenstone sequences draped over
domal granite plutons, and the district is bounded by major shear zones to the west (Ida Fault),
and to the east (Zuleika shear zone, Kunanalling shear zone). The eastern margin of the Calooli
granite influences the stratigraphy and structural orientation throughout much of the
Coolgardie area, resulting in orientation of the stratigraphy in NW‐SE trends in the north and
NE‐SW trends in the southern part of the domain.

The project area is located at the eastern end of the Londonderry‐Gibraltar greenstone belt,
which is dominated by high‐magnesium basalt and komatiites and the Burbanks Shear, a major
regional structure. The Burbanks Shear strikes NE and dips steeply NW and comprises a 60m
to 100m wide zone of sheared mafics within a package of basalts, gabbros and sediments. In
detail, the shear displays a range of ductility from foliated basalts, amphibole schists, biotite‐
carbonate schists through to mylonite.

Relative early deformation (in the form of recumbent folding and thrusting) has resulted in the
structural repetition of steeply dipping stratigraphic units. Later deformation (after granite
emplacement) has re‐folded the stratigraphy superimposing tight and open folds with NW and
NE trending axes.

At MacPhersons (3km east of the Burbanks Shear), the stratigraphy has been intruded by a
felsic intrusive unit along the lowermost basalt‐komatiite contact. This intrusive commonly
referred to as the MacPhersons Reward tonalite is host to gold mineralisation within the
MacPhersons deposits area.

The tonalite, a medium to coarse grained igneous rock is 100m thick and within the immediate
mine area extends for 800m along strike in a NE‐SW direction, mapping and geological
interpretations suggest the tonalite extends a further 1600m SW to the Bakers Find prospect
for an overall strike length of 2.4 km.

Two main vein types are recognised at MacPhersons deposit area based on the dominant
mineralogy:

1.
Quartz veins with subordinate albite, calcite, mica, chlorite, and sulphides +/‐ gold. The
quartz veining varies from 10cm thick to multiple veins over several metres wide. Powell
reef for example is a 1.5m thick quartz vein dipping 40° towards 041°.
2.
Sulphide veining ranging from approximately 1 to 2mm thick, and dominated by biotite,
pyrrhotite and pyrite with minor amphibole. These occur as networks extending over
metres of core and tend to form a distal halo around intervals of auriferous, sulphide‐
bearing quartz veins.

Based on mapping in the MacPhersons open pits, the quartz veins have two main orientations,
one set dips approximately 40° towards the NE, the other set approximately 40° towards the
SW. Veins may thicken toward the contacts of the tonalite but generally terminate after
intruding the ultramafic and basaltic rocks.

Gold occurs within quartz veins and in association with pyrite and pyrrhotite. It also occurs in
altered wall rocks and fractures where there are sulphide minerals (dominantly pyrrhotite and
pyrite). Visible gold is closely associated with quartz veining.

At Pumphreys, the gold mineralisation is associated with moderate dipping chlorite + talc
shears within a NE – SW striking, the gold mineralisation is NW dipping at ~50⁰, sequence of
former massive and pillowed high‐Fe tholeiitic basalt (Lindsays Formation), that have been
metamorphosed to upper greenschist facies. This sequence strikes at 045⁰ at the project area.

Gold mineralisation at Pumphreys is shear zone hosted which strikes 040⁰ and dipping ‐50⁰NW,
consisting of a series of stacked en echelon ore shoots. Higher gold grades appear to be
associated with an NE striking structural or lithological control that is yet to be determined.

At Tycho the gold mineralisation is associated with shallow dipping biotite + chlorite + talc
shears within a NW – SE striking, shallow NE dipping, sequence of former high magnesium
basalt and komatiite rocks (Hampton Formation), that have been metamorphosed to upper
greenschist facies. This sequence strikes at 045⁰ and has a near vertical dip. GSWA geological
mapping has the Tycho deposit situated adjacent to a synclinal axis.

The former high magnesium basalt is dominated by tremolite, actinolite, biotite and chlorite.
The tremolite at Tycho typically has an acicular and radiating crystal habit whereas actinolite is
typically a fine‐medium grained groundmass. Biotite occurs in number of different forms and
is a result of hydrothermal alteration. The biotite defines the weak foliation as wispy veinlets
that crosscut primary textures. It also replaces former amphiboles. Biotite and chlorite can
occur as intense and pervasive alteration. Within the former high magnesium basalt fine
grained magnetite is founds as bands 2‐3 cm in thickness whereas pyrrhotite occurs in thin 1‐
2mm veinlets. Higher gold grades (>1.5g/t) are associated with a weak foliation within the
former high magnesium basalt and are not restricted to one style of alteration.

The carbonate talc altered serpentinised komatiite unit seen at Tycho consists of a number of
thin flows. Relict spinifex and cumulate textures are common. Siderite occurs as randomly
orientated networks of veins and veinlets. Disseminated carbonate is also commonly seen
through this unit. Higher gold grades (>1.5 g/t) are associated with a weak foliation within the
former komatiite.

Gold mineralisation at Tycho is shear zone hosted which strikes 290⁰ and dipping ‐20⁰N,
consisting of a series of stacked en echelon ore shoots. Higher gold grades appear to be
associated with a NE striking near vertical structural or lithological control that is yet to be

No high‐grade cuts have been applied to assay results. RC assay results are length weighted
using 1 metre lengths for each assay. Drill core intersection results are length weighted to their
matching assay results using the downhole length of the relevant assay interval.

The assay intervals are reported as down hole length as the true width variable is not known.

aggregations should be shown in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.

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 (e.g. ‘down hole
length,true width not known’).

Drill holes are planned to intercept ore at optimal angles perpendicular to the plane of
interpreted ore.

The mineralised lodes generally are shallow dipping at MacPhersons and Tycho, but moderate
at Pumphreys, and most drill holes cross the lodes at a high angle, providing close to true
widths

Most of the drilling is oriented approximately orthogonal to the known orientation of
mineralisation. However, the intersection length is measured down the hole trace and may not
be the true width.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales)

Balanced reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,

Weathering DTM surfaces have updated or created in newer zones where
oxidation levels were recorded in the drilling logs stored in the original database.
Interpreted wireframe surfaces were created for oxide/transition (BOCO) and
transition/primary (TOFR) weathering boundaries which allowed the density
values for the mineral resource model to be sub‐divided byweatheringdomains.

The effect, if any, of alternative interpretations on
Mineral Resource estimation.

Previous interpretations completed in 2010 and 2012 were reviewed by Cube. The
domaining strategy involved interpretation and wireframing based on nominal
0.5m cut‐offs with a minimum width of 2m. An internal dilution was kept to a
minimum and, where possible, to 2m or less. The wireframes were extending up
or down dip to the next hole or 50m from the last hole. Where the mineralisation
terminated, wireframes were projected 5m (±4m east and ±4m north) along strike
or to half the distance to the next section.

The previous interpretation had 102 domains for MacPhersons/A‐Cap and 31
domains for the Tycho deposit which included many small domains locally
constrained around anomalous Au mineralisation. The December 2020
interpretation has used a lower grade threshold of 0.3g/t Au to domain the
mineralisation and defined fewer domains (31 mineralisation domains for
MacPhersons/A‐Cap and 10 domains for Tycho). The new resource also includes
the satellite Pumphreydeposit(4 domains),discovered in 2011.

The use of geology in guiding and controlling Mineral
Resource estimation.

The geological interpretations used for the 2021 MRE work is mainly reliant on
predominantly close spaced recent RC and DDH drilling. Drill spacing for the
deposits is nominally 10 m x 10‐5 m spaced RC and DDH holes stepping out to 20
m x 20 m or greater in the deposit extensions.

Broad geological domains were updated for the main lithological units – Tonalite
intrusive (host to the main mineralisation for MacPherson/A‐Cap), and the
lithological contact with mafic and ultramafic units.

Review of the location of surface geology and old workings, and mineralisation
trends noted from the old pit workings were used to guide initial mineralisation
trends that were used as the basis for final mineralisation domain 3DMs.

Economic compositing using a grade cut‐off of 0.3g/t Au was carried out in order
to define relatively contiguous zones of gold mineralisation. The top cut used is
based on low grade threshold of the raw cumulative distribution plots of the gold
data.

The economic compositing function in Leapfrog software was initially used
followed by sectional interpretations of the mineralised zone in Surpac 3D
modellingsoftware. Final validated 3DM wireframes weregenerated in Surpac.

The factors affecting continuity both of grade and
geology.

The outlines were modelled to a nominal grade cut‐off of approximately 0.3g/t Au
cut off allowed mineralisation domains to have optimum continuity were possible.
At depth, some domain was projected through drill hole intervals that were
unsampled (assumed waste material), which have not affected the resulting block
grades and continuity. Also, use of this low grade cut off resulted in a series of
simplified mineralised domains encompassing potentially discontinuous sheeted
shear zones and vein quartz hosted mineralisation. Mineralisation domains and
gold grade continuity becomes more sporadic above a 0.3g/t Au grade envelope.

There is evidence of fault offsets for some mineralisation domains, although no
local scale faults have been interpreted, and no structural offsets modelled for this
estimate.

There is evidence of supergene enrichment along the transition/fresh boundary.
Most of this broader, higher grade mineralisation was mined out during the
historical openpit workings.
Dimensions
The extent and variability of the Mineral Resource
expressed as length (along strike or otherwise), plan
width, and depth below surface to the upper and lower
limits of the Mineral Resource.

A summary of the domains for each deposit is outlined as follows:

MacPherson/A‐cap ‐ A total of 31 mineralised domains were interpreted, striking
NW‐SE and shallow dipping to the NW (~35o). The interpretation extends over a
narrow strike length of 120 m, limited to the lateral strike extents within the main
tonalite dyke intrusive. There is an extensive down‐dip projection for the
dominant domains of up to 1.1 km, with a maximum vertical depth currently at
370 m below the surface. The average true thickness varies between 5 m to 15 m.
There is a significant supergene enrichment zone at MacPhersons averaging at 25
m to 30 m below the surface and corresponding to the bottom of the deepest pit
mined today.

Pumphrey – Currently, there are four Pumphrey mineralisation domains that have
been modelled, with a maximum strike extent of 180 m, and 130 m vertical depth
below surface. The domains trend from NE to SW at approximately 45oto the NW.

Tycho – A total of 10 mineralisation domains have been interpreted trending NW
to SE and dipping approximately 20oto the NE. The strike extent modelled to date
is 350 m, and currently modelled to a vertical depth of 250 m below surface.
Domains are relatively broad compared to MacPherson, averaging between 10 m
to 20 m true thicknesses

Estimation and
modelling
techniques

The nature and appropriateness of the estimation
technique(s) applied and key assumptions, including
treatment of extreme grade values, domaining,
interpolation parameters and maximum distance of
extrapolation from data points. If a computer assisted
estimation method was chosen include a description of
computer software and parameters used.

Ordinary Kriging (OK) and Inverse Distance to the power of 2 (ID2) estimation
methods were used to estimate gold into two 3D block models for MacPherson
(encompassing the MacPherson/ A‐Cap/ Pumphrey deposits) and Tycho. These
methods are deemed appropriate based on the high density of the drilling data
and enable smaller block sizes closer to SMU sizes, and potentially limit over‐
smoothing or under‐smoothing of block grades.

Drill hole sample data was flagged using domain codes generated from 3D
mineralisation domains. Sample data was composited over the full downhole
interval. Intervals with no assays were assigned background grades for the
compositing routine as these un‐assayed intervals in the drill holes were assumed
to be waste.

Assessment of the raw assay interval lengths and raw gold assay values were
completed in order to determine the most appropriate length for compositing of
the samples. The most common sample length is 1.0m and covers the range of
the Au grades. Therefore, 1m composites were used as the source data for the
gold grade estimates.

Gold grade distributions within the estimation domains were assessed to
determine if high grade cuts or distance limiting should be applied on a domain by
domain basis. Data analysis included sub‐domaining by weathering zones to
determine the variation in grade distribution based due to supergene enrichment
or depletion compared with deeper, fresh mineralisation.

Top cuts were assigned on a domain by domain basis:

MacPherson ‐ grades were capped between 10g/t to 30g/t Au for 15 domains (out
of 21)

A‐cap ‐ grades were capped between 15g/t to 20g/t Au for 3 domains (out of 10)

Pumphrey ‐ grades were capped at 10g/t for 1 domain (out of 4)

Tycho ‐ grades were capped at 15g/t Au for 4 domains (out of 10).

Search neighbourhood analysis was undertaken to determine optimal search
parameters for OK estimation of gold grade. This analysis was carried out on the
well‐informed domains. The following steps were undertaken:

A number of block size scenarios were considered based on the current drill hole
spacing.

The parameters of the variogram models were used for the search ellipse
orientation and the search distance.

Kriging Neighbourhood Analysis (KNA), using the Slope of Regression and Kriging
Efficiency was undertaken to decide on optimal minimum and maximum numbers
of samples to use during estimation.

Cube’s estimation experience was used to make a choice on other search
parameters, such as block discretisation and maximum number of samples per
hole

For the MacPherson/A‐Cap and Pumphrey deposits a single block model was
created, with the dimensions used for the parent block size being 5 m x 5 m x 2.5
m in the X, Y, Z directions respectively was used and they were sub‐blocked to 2.5
m x 2.5 m x 1.25 m for 3D mineralisation domains definition. The relatively small
parent block size is reflective of the density of drilling within the MacPherson and
A‐Cap zones (nominally to 5 m x 5 m within the old open pit limits). The block
model is also rotated 45oto the East.

For the Tycho deposit gold project a parent block size of 2.5 m x 5 m x 5 m in the
XYZ direction respectively was considered as it reflects the current data spacing.
The parent blocks are sub‐blocked into 1.25 m x 2.5 m x 2.5 m for 3D
mineralisation domains definition. The block model is also rotated 20oto the East.

The mineralised domain wireframes were used to code the block model and the
volume between the wireframe models and the coded block model were checked
in order to ensure that the sub‐blocking size are appropriate for the interpreted
domains.

Estimation was carried out on capped and uncapped gold grade. Hard domain
boundaries were used between the mineralised domains, meaning only
composites within the domain are used to estimate inside that domain. The
variogram orientations were used as the orientation of the search ellipse.

Gold was estimated in 2 passes – 1st pass using optimum search distances for each
domain (max 60m) as determined through the KNA process, 2nd pass set at longer
distances in order topopulate all blocks(2nd = max 180 m).

A waste domain boundary encompassing the mineralisation domains and within
the limits of the drilling and host units was modelled for each deposit, and also
included in the grade estimation runs. This allowed for any isolated zones and any
mineralised haloes proximal to the hard boundary mineralised blocks to be
estimated for estimation of dilution within pit optimisation limits.

Surpac v6.9 was used for modelling and estimation. Snowden Supervisor v8.13
was used for statistical and geostatistical data analysis to review search
parameters.

The availability of check estimates, previous estimates
and/or mine production records and whether the
Mineral Resource estimate takes appropriate account
of such data.

The December MRE estimate used ID2estimation as a check estimate against the
OK estimation, with no significant variations in global estimate results for the main
mineralisation domains.

The 2020 mineral resource estimate was checked against the 2012 block model.
Although block construction and estimation parameters used were similar, the
significant changes to the interpretations have resulted in higher tonnages at
lower grades. In addition, the new model includes significantly more drilling than
that used for the 2012 model.

Historical production information is limited with no open pit mining records able
to be recovered and compiled at this stage in order to compare production data
with the depleted resources domained within the openpit limits.

The assumptions made regarding recovery of by‐
products.

No by‐product recoveries were considered.

Estimation of deleterious elements or other non‐grade
variables of economic significance (e.g. sulphur for acid
mine drainage characterisation).

Estimation of deleterious elements was not completed for the mineral resource.
Only gold assays were provided to Cube from the databases provided.

In the case of block model interpolation, the block size
in relation to the average sample spacing and the
search employed.

For all domains, a maximum search radius of 60m was used along strike by 10m
down dip by 10m across strike. This was based on lode geometry and drill hole
spacing.

An orientated ‘ellipsoid’ search was used to select data and adjusted to account
for the variations in lode orientations, however all other parameters were taken
from the variography.

Two passes were used for each domain. First pass had a range up to 60 m, with a
minimum of 6 samples, maximum 16 samples, and maximum of 6 samples per
hole. For the second pass, the range was extended up to 180 m, with a minimum
of 4 samples. And maximum of 16 samples. There were no unfilled Au grade blocks
outside of these searchparameters.

Any assumptions behind modelling of selective mining
units.

The block size dimensions were deemed suitable for block estimation and
modellingthe selectivityfor an openpit operation.

Any assumptions about correlation between variables.

No correlation between elements was conducted as only Au grades were supplied
in the assayrecords with the drillingdata.

Description of how the geological interpretation was
used to control the resource estimates.

The mineralised domains acted as a hard boundary to control the block grade
estimates.

The mineralisation domains were further sub‐domained based on weathering
codes as follows: Oxide code 1 = Oxide material; Oxide code 2 = Transition
material; Oxide code 3 = Fresh material.

For the MacPherson/A‐Cap mineralisation, the domain interpretations were
projected to the limits of the Tonalite dyke intrusive, which is interpretated as the
predominant host for gold mineralisation

Due to the high density of drilling in the upper zones at the MacPherson deposit,
not all mineralisation was able to be accurately domained to precise ore‐waste
boundaries, predominantly in areas depleted by the open pit mining. Therefore, a
broad “min waste’ domain was created for the main deposits. Material adjacent
to the hard boundary mineralisation was therefore estimated but assigned as
unclassified material for in‐situ Mineral Resource estimates.

Discussion of basis for using or not using grade cutting
or capping.

The influence of extreme grade values was reduced by top‐cutting for all
mineralisation domains. The top‐cut was determined using a combination of
statistical analysis tools (grade histograms, log probability (“LN”) plots and effects
on the coefficient of variation (CV) and metal at risk analysis.

As a result of the top‐cutting the theoretical reduction in metal, simply calculated
by number of samples and mean grades for each of the domains is noted for each
deposit as follows: MacPherson – 8.8% metal loss; A‐Cap – 4.1% metal loss;
Pumphrey– 4.6% metal loss;Tycho – 3.4% metal loss.

The process of validation, the checking process used,
the comparison of model data to drill hole data, and use
of reconciliation data if available.

Block model validation was conducted by the following means:

Visual inspection of block model estimation in relation to raw drill data and
composite grade distribution plots in 3D and in section and flitch plan views.

Volumetric comparison of the wireframe/solid volume to that of the block model
volume for each domain.

A global statistical comparison of input (composite mean grades) and block mean
grades for each mineralisation domain

corresponding composite mean grade.

Where any anomalies or significant discrepancies occurred, these were
investigated and minor adjustments or amendments to errors made to estimation
parameters used in the grade interpolation process.

No reconciliation data from the historical old open pit workings has been located
at this stage in order to undertake reconciliation work.
Moisture
Whether the tonnages are estimated on a dry basis or
with
natural
moisture,
and
the
method
of
determination of the moisture content.

The tonnages are estimated on a dry tonnes basis. Moisture was not considered
in the density assignment.
Cut‐off
parameters

The basis of the adopted cut‐off grade(s) or quality
parameters applied.

A 0.5g/t cut‐off grade was used to report the in‐situ Mineral Resources. This cut‐
off grade is estimated to be the minimum grade required for economic extraction
at current prices. In‐situ Mineral Resources at higher cut‐off limits have also been
reported for comparisons.

Given the depth, width, and grade of the deposit that the mineralisation
incorporated into the resource estimation has a reasonable prospect of eventually
being mined. Open pit mining is the expected to be the appropriate mining
method due to the location of the Mineral Resources close to surface, and the
shallow nature of the gold mineralisation, and proximity to existing commercial
infrastructure.
Mining factors
or assumptions

Assumptions made regarding possible mining methods,
minimum mining dimensions and internal (or, if
applicable, external) mining dilution. It is always
necessary as part of the process of determining
reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction
to consider potential mining methods, but the
assumptions made regarding mining methods and
parameters when estimating Mineral Resources may
not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this
should be reported with an explanation of the basis of
the mining assumptions made.

Most of the gold mineralisation occurs within 150m vertical depth of the surface.
Therefore, any future mining method is likely to be bulk open pit mining at 2.5m
to 5m bench heights.

Open Pit mining has previously taken place with historical documentation
providing good background information for future mining considerations.

For the Tycho block model the bulk density assignment is based on the density
assignment used for the previous estimate completed in 2012. Density was
assigned in the block model by interpreted 3DM of weathering zones only. There
are no records available to date as to how the density values were derived in 2012.
Density was assigned for Oxide and Fresh material only in 2012. Cube has
amended the density assignment for Tycho to sub‐divide oxide and transition
material as follows:

Oxide (all material – based on MacPherson results) = 2.38 t/m3

Transition (all material, as used in 2012) = 2.65 t/m3

Fresh (all material, as used in 2012) = 2.78 t/m3

From previous references, the water displacement method using Archimedes
Principle was used for rock chip samples for a range of rock types and by
weathering material type.

No bulk density data is available to date from the recent works carried out by
Hanking.

The bulk density for bulk material must have been
measured by methods that adequately account for void
spaces (vugs, porosity, etc), moisture and differences
between rock and alteration zones within the deposit.

Weathered samples were recorded as being wrapped in plastic prior to weighing
and immersion in water.

Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates used in
the evaluationprocess of the different materials.

The assigned bulk density values have been assigned according to weathering
state coded in the block models and bylithologycoded in the block models.
Classification
The basis for the classification of the Mineral Resources
into varying confidence categories.

The mineral resources for both the MacPherson and Tycho block models have
been classified as Measured, Indicated, or Inferred.

Resource classification is based on confidence in the geological domaining, drill
spacing and geostatistical measures.

Measured Mineral Resources – defined nominally by 5 m x 5 m spaced sample
data or less. Predominantly includes mineralisation domained from close spaced
RC drilling from the base of the historical open pit workings down to vertical
depths of 20m.

Indicated Mineral Resources – defined nominally by 20 m x 20 m spaced sample
data or less. Along strike and depth extensions have been taken to half drill
spacing.

Inferred Mineral Resources – Inferred Mineral Resources are defined by data
greater than 20 m x 20 m spaced drilling and the confidence that the continuity of

Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of Mineral Resource
estimates.

Previous mineral resource technical reports completed in 2012 by CSA were
reviewed prior to the most recent estimation work by Cube.

Several comments regarding the domaining approach in the 2012 work were
noted:

2012 domains – MacPhersons interpretation and 3DM domaining shows many
domains below minimum open pit minable widths; many isolated domains based
on 1‐2 holes with very small sample populations.

There is good evidence from drilling since the 2012 model to improve the strike
continuity of many of these domains within the UM‐Tonalite host mineralisation
corridor

2012 Domain coding – Many of the domain coding intervals were not snapped to
ore‐waste boundaries, mainly due to the complexity caused by the high density of
drilling from the old open pits (GC holes).

Following an analysis by Cube of the QAQC results from the 2020‐21 RC drilling
programs, issues mostly relate to field duplicate repeatability, which is considered
low for this type of duplicates. The elevated variability may be related to:

High variability in the grade of the deposits because of the presence of coarse gold
mineralization

Issues in the sampling procedure deriving in low homogeneity of samples

Poorprecision of laboratorytests

recent drilling confirming the presence of mineralisation intersected by older

The gold mineralisation continuity has been interpreted to reflect the applied level
of confidence for Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources.

In order to overcome the complexity of the composite data, alternate methods of
domaining and estimation are recommended. Initially the approach would include
a soft boundary approach around the mineralisation trends around a broad min‐
waste halo domain.

Grade‐tonnage curves were completed for COG ranges from 0.0 to 2.0 g/t Au for
the main deposits MacPherson‐A‐Cap and Tycho. The GT Curves indicate that the
Mineral Resources are sensitive to cut‐off grades, and therefore sensitive to
prevailing gold price variations and other economic considerations.

Tonnages and grade by benches for MacPherson/A‐Cap and Tycho data shows
that the bulk of the Measured and Indicated resources (70% Au metal for
MacPhersons/A‐Cap and 85% metal for Tycho falls within the upper 100m below
surface for each deposit area.

Beacon Minerals has conducted pit optimisation studies for all deposits in order
to assess the resources which have reasonable prospects for future economic
extraction.

The statement should specify whether it relates to

tonnages, which should be relevant to technical and
economic evaluation. Documentation should include
assumptions made and theprocedures used.

The 2021 MRE constitutes a global resource estimate.

The 2021 MRE represents an in‐situ mineral resource, as it has not been
constrained by any pit optimisation or other mining factors.

The estimate has not been constrained by other modifying factors including
metallurgical factors and environmental factors.

These statements of relative accuracy and confidence
of the estimate should be compared with production
data, where available.

Infrastructure The existence of appropriate infrastructure: availability
of land for plant development, power, water,
transportation (particularly for bulk commodities),
labour, accommodation; or the ease with which the
infrastructure can be provided, or accessed.
All processing infrastructure is in place at the Jaurdi processing facility.
The MacPhersons Reward Project is an extension to the current MacPhersons
open pit and the mining of the Tycho open pit.
The Ore Reserve mine plan will require installation of infrastructure including
electrical power (supply, transmission, and distribution), water and
compressed air supply, offices, ablutions, workshops, and surface magazines.
A dewatering system will also be required. Allowance has been made for
supply and installation of this infrastructure. Suitable flat terrain exists for
installation of all required infrastructure and the Competent Person sees no
reason this infrastructure could not be installed at the site.
Access to the site is via existing, well‐maintained and gazetted roads.
Allowance has been made for upgrade of these haul routes as well as the ore
haulage route to the processing plant.
Waste material will be dumped against the existing MacPhersons waste dump
and construction of a standalone waste dump will occur at Tycho. A run‐of‐
mine (ROM) pad will be required.
Labour will be sourced from Kalgoorlie on a residential basis.
Sufficient water will be available for operations through normal mine
dewateringactivities.
Costs The derivation of, or assumptions made, regarding
projected capital costs in the study.
Capital and operating costs have been supplied by BCN, based on supplier and
contractor quotes as well as Entech’s cost database through the “pre‐
feasibilitystudy”process.
The methodology used to estimate operating costs. A capital and operating cost model has been developed in Excel and has been
used to complete a life of mine cash flow estimate.
Allowances made for the content of deleterious
elements.
Nil allowance, none expected.
The derivation of assumptions made of metal or
commodity price(s), for the principal minerals and co‐
products.
Single commodity pricing for gold only, using a long‐term gold price of
A$2,200 per ounce as per BCN corporate guidance
The source of exchange rates used in the study. BCN report in Australian dollars. Therefore, no exchange rate is used or
required

No Measured Mineral Resource contributes to the Probable Ore Reserves.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of Ore Reserve
estimates.
The Ore Reserves reporting processes has been subjected to an internal review
byEntech’s senior technicalpersonnel in October 2021.
Discussion of relative accuracy/
confidence
Where appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy
and confidence level in the Ore Reserve estimate using
an approach or procedure deemed appropriate by the
Competent Person. For example, the application of
statistical or geostatistical procedures to quantify the
relative accuracy of the reserve within stated
confidence limits, or, if such an approach is not deemed
appropriate, a qualitative discussion of the factors
which could affect the relative accuracy and confidence
of the estimate.
The design, schedule and financial model on which the Ore Reserve is based
has been completed to a “pre‐feasibility study” standard, with a corresponding
level of confidence.
The statement should specify whether it relates to
global or local estimates, and, if local, state the relevant
tonnages, which should be relevant to technical and
economic evaluation. Documentation should include

assumptions made and the procedures used.
Accuracy and confidence discussions should extend to
specific discussions of any applied Modifying Factors
that may have a material impact on Ore Reserve
viability, or for which there are remaining areas of
uncertainty at the current study stage.
None that are likely to have any impact on the current Ore Reserve.
Considerations in favour of a high confidence in the Ore Reserve include:

The mining process is well‐known, and utilises proven technology and
methods widely used in the local area, with sufficient data to
generate adequate costing estimates to pre‐feasibility standard.
Considerations in favour of a lower confidence in the Ore Reserve include:

Future commodity price forecasts carry an inherent level of risk

There is a degree of uncertainty associated with geological estimates.
The Ore Reserve classifications reflect the levels of geological
confidence in the estimates.

There is a degree of uncertainty regarding estimates of impacts of
natural phenomena including geotechnical assumptions, hydrological
assumptions, and the modifying mining factors, commensurate with
the level of study.
Further, i.e. quantitative, analysis of risk is not warranted or considered
appropriate at the current level of technical and financial study.
It is recognised that this may not be possible or
appropriate in all circumstances. These statements of
relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate
should be compared with production data, where
available.
Pre‐mining, no production data to compare to yet
