Bellevue Gold Project, Western Australia

Strong grade control drilling results verify Resource, further de-risking production and financial outlook

Results show positive reconciliation of the grade control model with the Resource model

KEY POINTS

  • Latest results from grade control drilling at the Tribune open pit and shallow underground (10x10m and 20x10m drill spacing to a vertical depth of 150m), include:

  • 10m @ 15.4g/t gold from 115m

  • 2.4m @ 46.2g/t gold from 146.1m

  • 2.2m @ 24.8g/t gold from 73m

  • 4.7m @ 10.0g/t gold from 81.2m

    • 1m @ 39.1g/t gold from 101m

    • 6m @ 5.5g/t gold from 72m

    • 4m @ 7.9g/t gold from 29m

    • 6m @ 4.9g/t gold from 9m

  • Previously released high-grade infill results from Tribune include (refer ASX releases dated 16 June 2021 and 2 August 2021):

  • 5m @ 76.4g/t gold from 55m, including 2m @ 176.6g/t gold from 56m

  • 3m @ 15.0g/t gold from 35m

  • 2m @ 48.9g/t gold from 20m

  • 5m @ 9.6g/t gold from 55m

  • 5m @ 31.7g/t gold from 43m

  • 6m @ 8.5g/t gold from 32m

  • 7m @ 7.8g/t gold from 15m

  • 3m @ 24.8g/t gold from 42m

    • 5m @14.5g/t gold from 27m

    • 5m @ 5.2g/t gold from 62m

    • 4m @ 5.1g/t gold from 56m

    • 5m @ 12.5g/t gold from 35m

    • 4m @ 6.6g/t gold from 25m

    • 4m @ 1.3g/t gold from 33m and 6m @ 7.3g/t gold from 40m

    • 5m @ 30.5g/t gold from 28m

    • 5m @ 17.1g/t gold from 52m

  • Using these results, a grade control model has been completed on the early mine life areas of Tribune and the model has been correlated against the tonnes and grade of the 8 July 2021 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) which underpins the Stage 2 September 2021 Feasibility Study.

  • The grade control model reconciles strongly with the MRE. Taking into account both Indicated and Inferred ounces contained in the MRE for the equivalent area of Tribune, the grade control model demonstrates:

  • An increase of 4% in gold grade

  • An increase of 2% of total contained metal

  • “By demonstrating the accuracy of the Resource with such close-spaced drilling, we continue to de-risk the project. In parallel with this, we are looking to upgrade more of the 1.4Moz Resource which currently sits outside the mine plan. And we are extending the known mineralisation with highly successful resource drilling as part of our strategy to continue growing the total inventory.” – Bellevue MD Steve Parsons

ASX Announcement 14 October 2021

==> picture [124 x 84] intentionally omitted <==

Bellevue Gold Limited (ASX: BGL) is pleased to report further grade control drilling results which continue to verify the accuracy of the Resource model at the centre of the project’s production and financial forecasts.

As well as further de-risking the project, the results demonstrate the continuity of the mineralisation.

The grade control model reconciles extremely well with the Resource model, including the Inferred Resources in the area tested, further underpinning the robustness of the technical and financial forecasts contained in the Stage 2 Feasibility Study.

Bellevue Managing Director Steve Parsons said: “We pride ourselves on meeting or exceeding our targets and these results will help ensure we maintain this record because they verify the Resource model which underpins the forecasts in the Stage 2 Feasibility Study.

“By demonstrating the accuracy of the Resource with such close-spaced drilling, we continue to de-risk the project.

“In parallel with this, we are looking to upgrade more of the 1.4Moz Resource which currently sits outside the mine plan. And we are extending the known mineralisation with highly successful resource drilling as part of our strategy to continue growing the total inventory”.

Tribune Grade Control Drilling

In the Stage 2 Feasibility Study, the Tribune Lode forms part of the early mine inventory and is currently planned to be mined with an open pit followed by establishment of a portal at the base of the pit and underground development. The early mine life areas of Tribune have been grade control drilled with drilling completed on 10m x 10m spacing by Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling for the top 80m and on a 20m x 10m spacing by diamond core to a depth of 150m and over 400m of strike. Results have now been received for the majority of this drilling, defining significant high-grade mineralisation associated with a vertical quartz lode. Bonanza ore shoots plunge moderately to the south across the plane of the mineralisation.

Previously unreleased results from the Tribune Grade Control drilling include:

  • 10m @ 15.4g/t gold from 115m in DRRC5246m @ 5.5g/t gold from 72m in DRRC523

  • 2.4m @ 46.2g/t gold from 146.1m in DRDD7344m @ 7.9g/t gold from 29m in DRRC4502.2m @ 24.8g/t gold from 73m in DRDD7366m @ 4.9g/t gold from 9m in DRRC5644.7m @ 10.0g/t gold from 81.2m in DRDD7273.1m @ 8.8g/t gold from 91.7m in DRDD728

  • 1m @ 39.1g/t gold from 101m in DRDD470

A grade control model has been completed incorporating the results received to date from Tribune. This has encompassed a 400m x 150m area that is subject to the open pit and early underground mining access. The grade control model has been completed using ordinary kriging to a 5m x 5m block size and the results demonstrate an excellent correlation to, and therefore confirm the robustness of, the Resource model that the Stage 2 Feasibility Study is based upon.

At the 3.5g/t reporting cut off, the grade control model results show a 3.7% increase in grade and a 2.2% reduction in tonnes for a 1.4% increase in contained metal in the area compared with the original Indicated and Inferred Resource model (refer to Table 2 below).

The excellent performance of the Resource model relative to the grade control model shows the robust nature of the Resource on which the feasibility has been based. The Bellevue Resource has been independently estimated and is based almost entirely on high quality diamond drill core.

The Company has budgeted significant grade control drilling of all production areas ahead of development and is a key part of the Company’s strategy as it advances towards production.

LOM excludes the Bellevue Surrounds Resource area of 1.28mt at 11.1g/t gold for 0.46Moz inferred category.

About the Bellevue Gold Project

Bellevue Gold Ltd is developing a high-grade underground gold mine at the Bellevue Gold Project. The Company recently released its Stage 2 Feasibility Study, which outlines a highly profitable gold mine, with a 1Mt per annum processing plant, using a conventional gravity and leaching circuit and conventional underground mining techniques. The project is currently under development with the first gold pour planned for mid-2023. The project has an initial 8.1 year mine life based on LOM Resources and Reserves of 1.56Moz @ 6.0g/t and includes a Probable Ore Reserve of 1.04Moz @ 6.1g/t.

When operational the Bellevue Gold Mine is forecast to be one of the highest-grade, lowest cost mines in Australia with the first 5 years producing over 200,000 ounces per year at an all-in sustaining cost ( AISC ) of $992 per ounce. LOM over the 8.1 years the mine is forecast to produce 183,000 ounces per annum at an AISC of A$1,014/oz. The high-grade nature of the mine at Bellevue is conducive to profitability and the mine is forecast to produce $1.8 billion of free cashflow over the life of mine (assuming gold price of A$2,400/oz). The projected cashflow underpins an outstanding payback period of 1.4 years (pre-tax).

The Company is fully funded into production with a $200 million underwritten and credit-approved project loan to fund construction and development activities. Underground development is currently well advanced with over 2,700m of new development and refurbishment already completed towards accessing the production levels.

APPENDIX

Table 1 - JORC Code, 2012 Edition

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 specialized industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as downhole 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 1m samples from which 3kg was
pulverised to produce a 30g 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.
• Diamond holes were sampled by NQ Diamond Core
drilling.
• Sampling was nominally at 0.5m intervals however
over narrow zones of mineralisation it was as short
as 0.3m.
• The holes were sampled by reverse circulation from
the onboard cone splitter.
• Sampling was nominally at 1m.
• QAQC samples were inserted in the sample runs,
comprising gold standards (CRM’s or Certified
Reference Materials) and sourced blank material
(barren basalt).
• Sampling practice is appropriate to the geology and
mineralisation of the deposit and complies with
industry best practice.
• No information is available about the sampling
techniques from the historical drilling reported from.
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).
• Diamond coring was undertaken with a modern truck
mounted rig and industry recognised quality
contractor. Core (standard tube), was drilled at HQ3
size (61.1mm) from surface until competent ground
was reached. The hole was then continued with NQ
size (45.1mm) to total depth.
• The core was orientated using a Reflex Ez-Ori tool
• Drilling has been undertaken by Reverse Circulation
technique using industry standard drilling processes.
Drill Sample Recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery
and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred
due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
• Diamond core recovery was measured for each run
and calculated as a percentage of the drilled interval,
in weathered material, core recoveries were generally
80 to 90%, in fresh rock, the core recovery was
excellent at 100%.
• RC sample recovery was monitored at the rig and all
samples were kept dry.
• No quantitative analysis of recovery has been
undertaken on the drillholes.
• No information is available for historical drilling
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.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.
Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
• All core was geologically logged. Lithology, veining,
alteration, mineralisation and weathering are
recorded in the geology table of the drillhole
database. Final and detailed geological logs were
forwarded from the field following cutting and
sampling.
• Geological logging of core is qualitative and
descriptive in nature.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sub-Sampling
Techniques and
Sample Preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or
all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc
and whether sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling
stages to maximize representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected, including for
instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of
the material being sampled.
• Core was cut in half, one half retained as a reference
and the other sent for assay.
• 1m samples were split using a rig mounted cone
splitter and placed into uniquely numbered bags.
• Sample size assessment was not conducted but
sampling size typical for WA gold deposits.
• 4m composite samples were taken of all drill metres,
with ~500g spear sample taken every 1m and placed
into uniquely numbered bags.
• A separate sample was sieved from the splitter reject
material into chip trays and used for geological
logging.
Quality of Assay Data
and Laboratory Tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and model, reading
times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg.
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias)
and precision have been established.
• Assaying and laboratory procedures used are NATA
certified techniques for gold. Samples were
prepared and assayed at NATA accredited
MinAnalytical Laboratory Services in Perth.
• All samples are initially sent to MinAnalytical sample
Preparation facility in Kalgoorlie. Samples submitted
for fire assay are weighed, dried, coarse crushed and
pulverized in total to a nominal 85% passing
75 microns (method code SP3010) and a 50g
subsample is assayed for gold by fire assay with an
AAS finish (method code FA50/AAS). Lower
Detection limit 0.005ppm and upper detection limit
100ppm gold. Samples reporting above 100ppm
gold are re-assayed by 50 gram fire assay method
FA50HAAS which has a lower detection of 50ppm
and an upper detection limit of 800ppm. This
method is used for very high grade samples. Both
fire assay methods are considered to be total
analytical techniques.
• Samples submitted for analysis via Photon assay
technique were dried, crushed to nominal 85%
passing 2mm, linear split and a nominal 500g sub
sample taken (method code PAP3512R)
• The 500g sample is assayed for gold by PhotonAssay
(method code PAAU2) along with quality control
samples including certified reference materials,
blanks and sample duplicates.
• About the MinAnalytical PhotonAssay Analysis
Technique:
o Developed by CSIRO and the Chrysos Corporation,
the PhotonAssay technique is a fast and chemical
free alternative to the traditional fire assay process
and utilizes high energy x-rays. The process is non-
destructive on and utilises a significantly larger
sample than the conventional 50g fire assay.
o MinAnalytical has thoroughly tested and validated
the PhotonAssay process with results benchmarked
against conventional fire assay.
o The National Association of Testing Authorities
(NATA), Australia's national accreditation body for
laboratories, has issued MinAnalytical with
accreditation for the technique in compliance with
ISO/IEC 17025:2018-Testing.
• In addition to the Company QAQC samples
(described earlier) included within the batch the
laboratory included its own CRM’s, blanks and
duplicates.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Verification of
Sampling and
Assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures,
data verification, data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
• Intersection assays were documented by Bellevue's
professional exploration geologists and verified by
Bellevue's Exploration Manager.
• No drillholes were twinned.
• All assay data were received in electronic format
from MinAnalytical, checked, verified and merged
into Bellevue's database.
• Original laboratory data files in CSV and locked PDF
formats are stored together with the merged data.
• There were no adjustments to the assay data.
Location of Data
Points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drillholes
(collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
• All drill collars are located with hand held GPS. These
positions are considered to be within 5 metres
accuracy in the horizontal plane and less so in the
vertical. The positions were subsequently surveyed
with a differential GPS system to achieve x - y
accuracy of 2cm and height (z) to +/- 10cm.
• All collar location data is in UTM grid (MGA94 Zone 51).
• Downhole surveys were by a north seeking
gyroscope every 30m downhole.
Data Spacing and
Distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
• The drillhole intersections are between 10 and 20m
apart which is adequate for a mineral Resource
estimation in the Indicated category.
• No sample compositing has been applied to reported
results
Orientation of Data
in Relation to
Geological Structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which
this is known, considering the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralized structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed
and reported if material.
• Drill lines are orientated approximately at right
angles to the currently interpreted strike of the
known mineralization.
• No bias is considered to have been introduced by
the existing sampling orientation.
Sample Security The measures taken to ensure sample security. • Samples were secured in closed polyweave sacks for
delivery to the laboratory sample receival yard in
Kalgoorlie by Bellevue personnel.
Audits or Reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques
and data.
• No audits or reviews completed.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral Tenement
and Land Tenure
Status
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership
including agreements or material issues with third parties
such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties,
native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national
park and environmental settings.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting
along with any known impediments to obtaining a license
to operate in the area.
• The Bellevue Gold Project consists of three granted
mining licenses M36/24, M36/25, M36/299 and one
granted exploration license E36/535. Golden Spur
Resources, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bellevue
Gold Limited (Formerly Draig Resources Limited)
owns the tenements 100%.
• There are no known issues affecting the security of
title or impediments to operating in the area.
Exploration Done by
Other Parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.
• Historical work reviewed was completed by a number
of previous workers spanning a period of over
100 years. More recently and particularly in terms of
the geophysical work reviewed the companies
involved were Plutonic Operations Limited, Barrick
Gold Corporation and Jubilee Mines NL.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
• The Bellevue Project is located within the Agnew-
Wiluna portion of the Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone
belt, approximately 40km NNW of Leinster. The
project area comprises felsic to intermediate volcanic
sequences, meta-sediments, ultramafic komatiite
flows, Jones Creek Conglomerates and tholeiitic meta
basalts (Mt Goode Basalt) which hosts the known gold
deposits.
• The major gold deposits in the area lie on or adjacent
to north-northwest trending fault zones.
• The Bellevue gold deposit is hosted by the partly
tholeiitic meta-basalts of the Mount Goode Basalts in
an area of faulting, shearing and dilation to form a
shear hosted lode style quartz/basalt breccia.
Drillhole Information A summary of all information material to the understanding
of the exploration results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material drillholes:
o easting and northing of the drillhole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level - elevation above sea level
in metres) of the drillhole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o downhole 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.
• All requisite drillhole information is tabulated
elsewhere in this release. Refer Table 2 of the body
text.
Data Aggregation
Methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations
(eg. cutting of high grades) and cutoff 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.
• Drillhole intersections are reported above a lower
cutoff grade of 1g/t Au and no upper cutoff grade
has been applied. A minimum intercept length of
0.2m applies to the sampling in the tabulated results
presented in the main body of this release. Up to 2m
of internal dilution have been included.
• No metal equivalent reporting has been applied.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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
drillhole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the downhole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect
(eg. 'downhole length, true width not known').
• For Tribune drill intersections, true width is
approximately 60%-70% that of the quoted
intersections.
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 drillhole collar
locations and appropriate sectional views.
• Included elsewhere in this release. Refer Figures 1, 2,
3, 4 and 5 of the body text.
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 results above 0.2m at 1.0g/t lower cut have been
reported.
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.
• Downhole electromagnetic surveys support the in
hole geological observations and will continue to be
used to vector drill targeting.
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.
• Bellevue Gold Limited is continuing to infill drill the
Tribune Lode ahead of mining.
