ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 13 December 2021
New Targets and Growth from Discovery Drilling
==> picture [80 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
Black Cat Syndicate Limited (“ Black Cat ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to announce an update on RC drilling at regional targets around Fingals Fortune and Jones Find both part of the Kal East Gold Project (“ Kal East ”).
HIGHLIGHTS
- Black Cat has recently completed regional exploration drilling at several new targets within the Fingals and Majestic Mining Centres along with extensional drilling at Jones Find. Results are highly encouraging and provide impetus to further ramp up drilling activity in early 2022.
Fingals Regional
-
Several conceptual targets at the Fingals Mining Centre were tested with 25 holes for 2,314 metres. Results successfully intercepted mineralisation which requires additional follow up drilling. A full structural review is planned at Fingals to assist with further target testing. Results include:
-
2m @ 18.62 g/t Au from 45m (21FRRC078)
-
2m @ 26.81 g/t Au from 69m (21FRRC086)
-
4m @ 2.94 g/t Au from 69m and 1m @ 7.44 g/t Au from 77m (21FRRC088)
Jones Find Extension (1,500m of assays outstanding)
-
Extensional drilling was undertaken at Jones Find to expand upon the existing maiden Resource of 33,000 oz. Results show strong mineralisation outside of the current Resource and further extensional drilling is required. Results include:
-
7m @ 11.65 g/t Au from 43m (21JFRC015)
-
6m @ 1.53 g/t Au from 48m (21JFRC007)
-
2m @ 7.55 g/t Au from 23m (21JFRC008)
-
2m @ 2.76 g/t Au from 56m (21JFRC009)
-
1m @ 8.28 g/t Au from 59m (21JFRC025)
-
4m @ 2.37 g/t Au from 41m (21JFRC048)
-
A RC rig is currently drilling at Jones Find with additional results expected in early 2022.
Juglah
-
The Juglah prospect is an area of historical workings located 8km northeast of Majestic. Reconnaissance drilling around the old workings was undertaken in November 2021 with positive results in the maiden program including:
-
4m @ 8.43 g/t Au from 10m 21JLRC004)
-
2m @ 8.02 g/t Au from 17m (21JLRC009)
Black Cat’s Managing Director, Gareth Solly said: “ As the results continue to roll in from the labs, it is great to see our discovery targets delivering success. The Kal East Gold Project has a substantial pipeline of early stage targets that have either been underexplored or overlooked in the past. These targets will be systematically explored and have the potential to add significant ounces to our Resource base.
Jones Find is of particular interest as it is within 2kms of the planned processing facility and we will be progressing this to Resource and Ore Reserve as a matter of priority. The Fingals regional results are also near to our planned open pits and demonstrate just how prospective the Fingals area is. We will have two drill rigs operating around Fingals in early 2022.”

Fingals Mining Centre (M26/357, M26/148, M26/248 and M26/364) 100%
The Finals Mining Centre is located around the historical open pit of Fingals Fortune on granted mining leases 8kms south of the planned processing facility at the Majestic Mining Centre. The area was mined in the early 1990’s when ~420,000t @ 2.7 g/t Au for 36,500 oz was extracted from the Fingals Fortune pit and another 20,200 oz from three nearby satellite pits. The current Resource (4.0Mt @ 2.2 g/t Au for 275,000 oz) is open in all directions and at depth (Figure 1).
Initial regional drilling targeting interpreted favourable lithological contacts and structures was completed in September 2021. This program targeted: the fold hinge south of Fingals Fortune; potential alternate structure at Fingals East; and the continuation of known mineralisation along a line of workings south of Fingals Fortune. A total of 25 RC holes (2,314m) was completed. Results included:
-
2m @ 18.62 g/t Au from 45m (21FRRC078) - historical workings at Fingals South
-
2m @ 26.81 g/t Au from 69m (21FRRC086) - new target at Fingals East
-
4m @ 2.94 g/t Au from 69m and 1m @ 7.44 g/t Au from 77m (21FRRC088)
These promising intercepts represent priority targets that will be drilled again early in 2022. At Fingals East, the 2m @ 26.81 g/t Au and 4m @ 2.94 g/t Au represent a new lode outside of the current Resource, but close to the planned open pit. Close spaced drilling is planned to define this lode to be included in an updated Resource for Fingals East.
South of Fingals Fortune, along the line of historical workings, 2m @ 18.62 g/t Au is considered to intersect one of the sub-vertical mineralised structures observed at Fingals Fortune where bonanza grades (including 13m @ 37.43 g/t Au[1] ) have previously been intersected by Black Cat. There is significant shallow RAB drilling in this area that intersects anomalous gold around end of hole. Furthermore, RC drilling indicates high grade structures occur within the area. Follow up drilling targeting narrow high-grade lodes is planned to recommence in January 2022.

Jones Find (P25/2323) 100%
Jones Find is located <2km east of the planned 800,000tpa Kal East processing facility. The prospect was originally discovered in the 1930’s when gold nuggets were uncovered during installation of a sheep station fence. Minor shafts have been sunk on quartz reefs, which have also been exposed as a stockwork of quartz veins in a 300m costean.
Black Cat acquired Jones Find in June 2020 and has undertaken several campaigns of drilling and announced a maiden open pit Resource for the northern area of 0.78Mt @ 1.3 g/t Au for 33,000 oz in September[2] 2021. Subsequent drilling has recently been undertaken with 69 RC holes and 1 diamond hole drilled for 5,280m. RC drilling was designed to target extensions to the structures in the north and to confirm mineralisation in the south. These areas contain substantial amounts of historical workings. The potential in the central area remains untested and is a high priority in 2022 (Figure 2). Assay results relating to approximately 1,500m of this drilling program remain outstanding.
Results to date include:
-
7m @ 11.65 g/t Au from 43m (21JFRC015)
-
4m @ 1.18 g/t Au from 90m (21JFRC001)
-
6m @ 1.53 g/t Au from 48m (21JFRC007)
-
2m @ 7.55 g/t Au from 23m (21JFRC008)
-
2m @ 2.76 g/t Au from 56m (21JFRC009)
-
1m @ 8.28 g/t Au from 59m (21JFRC025)
-
4m @ 2.37 g/t Au from 41m (21JFRC048)
The close proximity of Jones Find to the planned processing plant may also provide a life of mine alternative tailings storage facility should open pit mining be realised. Black Cat is therefore actively drilling additional holes to assist early assessment of this potential. One RC rig is currently on site.

Juglah (E25/526) 100%
The Juglah prospect is an area of historical workings that extend over a strike length of ~800m located 8km northeast of Majestic. Reconnaissance drilling around the old, shallow workings was undertaken in November 2021 with 14 holes completed for 1,134m. Holes were designed to initially test possible NNE trending shear orientations, parallel to the main historical workings (Figure 3). Two holes intersected historical mine voids (~2m width) with remnant high-grade mineralisation on the hangingwall. These included:
-
4m @ 8.43 g/t Au from 10m (21JLRC004)
-
2m @ 8.02 g/t Au from 17m (21JLRC009)
Drilling is already being planned to follow up on extensions to Juglah along with other historical shafts in the area.

PLANNED DRILLING
Black Cat will have completed >90,000m by the end of 2021. Drilling has comprised a mix of discovery, Resource growth, Resource definition and grade control across Kal East.
In line with the industry generally, assay results are slow in their turnaround and Black Cat was impacted by an increase in assay backlogs during 2021. This backlog is now being reduced. Currently, Black Cat has ~7,500 samples outstanding which are expected to be reported over the coming months.
Drilling activity during 2022 will recommence in January with a renewed focus on the Fingals and Majestic Mining Centres, particularly:
-
Initial 9 targets immediately around the Fingals including the recent success at Fingals South and East
-
Jones Find North and South for assessment of early integration into the planned LOM schedule
-
Discovery drilling in other areas of the Mining Centres

ABOUT BLACK CAT SYNDICATE (ASX: BC8)
Black Cat’s Kal East Gold Project comprises ~800km[2] of highly prospective tenements to the east of the world class mining centre of Kalgoorlie, WA. Kal East contains a combined JORC 2012 Mineral Resource of 17.7Mt @ 2.2 g/t Au for 1,238,000 oz which is mainly located in the Myhree, Majestic, Fingals and Trojan Mining Centres.
Black Cat plans to construct a central processing facility near the Majestic Mining Centre, ~50kms east of Kalgoorlie. This location is well suited for a processing facility and sits within a short haulage distance of the bulk of Black Cat’s Resources. The processing facility will be a traditional carbon-in-leach gold plant which is ideally suited to Black Cat’s Resources as well as to third party free milling ores located around Kalgoorlie.
Black Cat is well advanced on securing key, long lead time items. High quality Outokumpu ball mills and associated infrastructure have already been purchased and relocated. After servicing in Kalgoorlie, the mills will be relocated to the Majestic Mining Centre. Other key components have also been identified for procurement and Black Cat intends to secure all items needed to allow for production to commence in the second half of 2022.
Black Cat’s extensive ground position contains a pipeline of projects spanning from exploration targets on new greenstone belts, Resource extensions around historic workings and study work for the definition of maiden Ore Reserves.
Black Cat is actively growing and upgrading the current Resources with ongoing drilling programs underway and delivering results.

|---|---|---|
| Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data | ||
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
| Sampling techniques | Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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. |
Black Cat has recently undertaken sampling activities at Fingals Fortune, Juglah and Jones Find by RC |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
Recent sampling undertaken by Black Cat provides high quality representative samples that are carried out to industry standard and include QAQC standards. All samples are weighed in the laboratory. |
|
| 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 (e.g. ‘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 (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
Black Cat’s recent RC drilling is sampled into 1m intervals via a cone splitter on the rig producing a representative sample of approximately 3kg. Samples are selected to weigh less than 3kg to ensure total sample inclusion at the pulverisation stage. All samples are crushed, dried and pulverised to a nominal 90% passing 75µm to produce a 40g or 50g sub sample for analysis by FA/AAS. |
|
| 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). |
RC drilling was completed using a face sampling percussion hammer. The RC bit size was 143mm diameter. |
| Drill sample recovery | Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. |
RC samples are checked visually. |
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
RC sample recovery and representivity were maintained through industry standard maintenance of the cone splitter and verified through the use of duplicate 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. |
There is no known bias between sample recovery and grade. | |
| 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. |
Logging of RC chips record lithology, mineralogy, texture, mineralisation, weathering, colour, alteration and veining. Chips from all Black Cat’s RC holes are stored in chip trays and photographed for future reference. These chip trays are archived in Kalgoorlie. |
| The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. | All recent drilling has been logged in full. |

| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. |
No diamond core drilled. |
| If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. |
All Black Cat’s RC sampling to date have been cone split to 1m increments on the rig. All samples to date have been dry. |
|
| For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
The laboratory preparation of samples adheres to industry best practice. It is conducted by a commercial laboratory and involves oven drying, coarse crushing then total grinding to a size of 90% passing 75µm. |
|
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. |
All subsampling activities are carried out by commercial laboratory and are considered to be satisfactory. | |
| 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. |
Black Cat’s RC field duplicate samples are carried out at a rate of 1:50 and are sampled directly from the on-board splitter on the rig. The duplicate samples are masked from the laboratory. |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Sample sizes of 3kg are considered to be appropriate given the grain size (90% passing 75µm) of the material sampled. |
|
| 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. |
Samples are analysed by an external laboratory using a 40g fire assay with AAS finish. This method is considered suitable for determining gold concentrations in rock and is a total digest method. |
| 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. |
None used. | |
| Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
Recent drilling adhered to strict QAQC protocols involving weighing of samples, collection of field duplicates and insertion of certified reference material (blanks and standards). QAQC data are checked against reference limits in the SQL database on import. The laboratory performs a number of internal processes including repeats, standards and blanks. Analysis of this data displayed acceptable precision and accuracy. |
|
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. |
Black Cat’s significant intercepts are verified by database, geological and corporate staff. |
| The use of twinned holes. | Black Cat will use twinned holes to assist in verification of historic results from time to time. | |
| Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. |
All primary data related to logging and sampling is directly entered to Excel templates. All data is sent to Perth and stored in the centralised database, managed by a database consultant. |
|
| Discuss any adjustment to assay data. | No adjustments or calibrations are made to any assay data, apart from resetting below detection values to half positive detection. First gold assay is utilised for exploration work. |
|
| Location of data points | Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. |
All holes have been picked up by a licenced surveyor using RTK-GPS. Down hole surveys are collected a north seeking gyro. |
| Specification of the grid system used. | Black Cat uses the grid system GDA 1994 MGA Zone 51. |

| Quality and adequacy of topographic control. | RLs have been assigned using the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (“SRTM”) digital elevation model, unless surveyed by RTK-GPS. RTK GPS pickups will be used to build up local topographic models over exploration areas. |
|
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. | The nominal drill hole spacing is highly variable as these are early stage targets. Fingals drilling ranges from 25m (northing) by 25m (easting) to 50m by 50m. Jones Find is typically around 50m by 50m, and Juglah is sporadic, focusing on first pass targets. |
| 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. |
Drill hole spacing is sufficient. | |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether sample compositing has been applied. | Drill holes are composited to intervals higher than 1 g/t Au with 1m of consecutive waste allowed between mineralised samples. |
| Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. |
All holes were orientated to reduce any bias by drilling perpendicular to the interpreted mineralised structures where possible. The majority of holes at Fingals Fortune are drilled towards grid east at -60 degrees dip, with a small proportion at -52 to -70 degrees dip. All Jones find holes were drilled at -60 dip towards the east (090). Juglah holes were drilled at -60 dip, generally to the southeast, with 2 holes drilled back towards the mineralised dip to test for a fold rollover. |
|
| If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
All drilling from surface has been drilled as close to perpendicular to the predicted orientation of stratigraphy as possible. This has reduced the risk of introducing a sampling bias as far as possible. No orientation-based sampling bias has been identified in the data at this point. |
|
| Sample security | The measures taken to ensure sample security. | Black Cat’s samples prepared on site by Black Cat geological staff. Samples are selected, collected into tied calico bags and delivered to the laboratory by staff or contractors directly and there are no concerns with sample security. |
| Audits or reviews | The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
Black Cat has recently created appropriate sampling procedures. |

| Exploration done by other parties |
A_cknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties._ | Fingals Fortune was first identified by Geopeko in joint venture with Mistral Mines in 1983-1984 through a systematic soil geochemical sampling program. This was followed up with costeans, RAB and RC drilling. Geopeko did not perceive the discoveries to be of sufficient size and withdrew from the joint venture in 1986. Mistral Mines continued to explore and define Fingals Fortune, producing a feasibility study in the 1990. During this time, the tenement directly south of Fingals Fortune (now M26/357) was lost to Mistral though an administrative error resulting in the pegging by a prospector. Following Mistral Mines falling into receivership, the project was acquired by Ramsgate Resources, who formed the Mount Monger Gold Project JV with General Gold in 1991. M26/357 was repurchased from Bond Gold Australia and Dragon Resources in 1992. The Fingals Fortune deposit was subsequently mined in 1992 and 1993 by the Mount Monger Gold Project JV, with minor exploration around the area continuing until divestment. Since mining was completed, Exploration of the Fingals Fortune deposit has been sporadic with various companies drilling holes to test the potential of reopening the mine: Solomon Australia (1999-2000) drilled about 10-15 RC holes to test strike extensions on the mineralisation; Aurion Gold Exploration (2001-2002) drilled a couple of RC and diamond holes testing under the existing pit; Integra Mining drilled two campaigns in 2007-2009 and 2011-2012 testing mineralisation east of and also below the main pit; Silver Lake drilled four holes in 2012-2013 testing southern extensions to the mineralisation. Black Cat acquired the project in 2020. Jones Find had gold first discovered during the 1930s during the construction of a north–south fence in the tenement by Jones family of Hampton Hill Station. The Jones Find deposit was initially worked by the Jones family and is reported to have mined rich ore; however, no records are available. Other prospectors tried their luck and sunk a number of shafts with unknown results. In the 1970’s, a number of costeans were excavated by prospectors and Western Mining Corporation (WMC Resources). In 1982 the area was pegged by Mr NR McAlister and a series of vacuum holes were drilled. Between the early 1980’s and acquisition by Black Cat in 2020, exploration over the Jones Find area was carried out by several companies (Endeavour Resources NL, Gindalbie Gold NL, Indian Ocean Resources Ltd, Mr. McAllister NL, Newmex Exploration Ltd, Bedrock Mining PL, Croesus Mining NL, Titan Resources |

| NL, Fairstar Resources Ltd, Integra Mining Ltd). Significant RAB drilling programmes were completed by Indian Ocean Resources Ltd in 1988 and Croesus Mining NL in 1995. RC programmes were completed by Bedrock Mining in 1989, Titan Resources in 1995; and Fairstar Resources in 2007. Integra drilled a series of RAB holes around the periphery of the tenement in 2011. Juglah was historically mined in from 1923-1927, producing 860 ounces @ 31.7 g/t Au from 842t. Since mining, it has had minor exploration including mapping of shallow workings, soil sampling, and small amounts of RC drilling. Limited work has been completed since the 1990’s. |

| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. | The Projects are located in the Kurnalpi Terrane of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton. Fingals area is within the Gindalbie domain. Project-scale geology consists of granite-greenstone lithologies that were metamorphosed to greenschist facies grade. The style of mineralisation is Archaean orogenic gold. The Jones Find deposit is located at the southern end of the Kurnalpi Terrane (formerly the Gindalbie Terrane) on the western limb of the Bulong Anticline. Regionally, Jones Find sits within a zone of the volcanic and volcaniclastic felsics that form part of the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane greenstone. The area is located within the Juglah Monzogranite - an oval-shaped intrusion emplaced into a domed sequence of felsic to intermediate volcaniclastic and volcanic rocks. To the south, the area is cut by a series of dolerite and gabbro dykes running ENE that form part of the Widgiemooltha Supersuite. The prospect is characterised by a lack of topographical relief and is covered by recent alluvium and colluvium. Based on mine dumps and available exposed mine faces the tenement is considered to contain mainly a northerly striking, steeply dipping sequence of quartz-sericite-clay and quartz sericite biotite rocks which are frequently sheared and schistose, as observed, in the vicinity of old workings. These rocks are believed to be metamorphosed felsic dykes. Structurally, the tenement is located on the eastern flank of the south plunging Bulong anticline. The western margin of the granite to granodiorite phase pluton coincides with a major northwest striking shear (Majestic shear/fault). The Jones Find Prospect is inferred to lie on a subsidiary splay of this major shear zone. Locally, the granitoid exhibits intense shear related deformation, which is associated with alteration haloes of up to 100 m in width. The following four styles of gold mineralisation have been recognised in the tenement: 1. Narrow, gold containing quartz vein zones associated with shearing and biotite/sericite alteration. Most old mine workings are developed in these zones. 2. Auriferous stockworks containing 5-20% quartz veins in granite with more felsic and dioritic phases. 3. Quartz-biotite-clay ± albite alteration associated with anomalous gold assays ranging from 0.1 g/t gold to 0.4 g/t gold. |

| 4. Supergene gold mineralisation within the saprolitic zone. The Juglah deposit is hosted within foliated volcaniclastic rocks. Gold is observed along quartz veins within a felsic epiclastic metasediment. Mineralisation is observed as trending north east, dipping steeply to the northwest. |

| 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: easting and northing of the drill hole collar; elevation or Reduced Level (“RL”) (elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar; dip and azimuth of the hole; down hole length and interception depth; hole length; and 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. |
Tables containing drill hole collar, survey and intersection data are included in the body of the announcement. |
| Data aggregation methods | In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
All aggregated zones are length weighted. No high grade cuts have been used. |
| 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. |
All intersections are calculated using a 1 g/t Au lower cut-off with maximum waste zones between grades of 1m, except where stated in the body of the report. |
|
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
Not applicable, as no metal equivalent values have been reported. | |
| 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 (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
All intercepts are reported as depths as true widths are not yet determined. |
| 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. |
Appropriate diagrams have been included in the body of the announcement. |

| Balanced reporting | Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration. Results are 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 have been tabulated in this release. |
| 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. |
Geophysical surveys including aeromagnetic surveys have been carried out by previous owners to highlight and interpret prospective structures in the project area. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. 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. |
Black Cat is continuing an exploration program which will target extension of mineralisation at Fingals Fortune and other regional targets. Black Cat is continuing to explore for extensions to Jones Find, while infilling the current Resource in preparation for Reserve calculations. Further drilling is planned at Juglah along with a review and reinterpretation to determine the optimal targets in the area. |
