Black Cat’s Managing Director, Gareth Solly, said: “Fingals Fortune continues to provide strong results, as predicted. The area has clearly been overlooked for decades and the potential for additional high-grade structures beyond our identified open pit targets is exciting. Two RC rigs are now drilling for additional discoveries across Kal East. Resource upgrades and Ore Reserves will be announced during the December 2021 quarter. Activities to establish a processing facility at Kal East in 2022 are progressing well.”

Infill and Extensional RC Drilling at Fingals Mining Centre (M25/136, M26/148, M26/248, M26/364, M26/357) 100%

The Fingals Mining Centre produced ~420,000t @ 2.7 g/t Au for 56,500 oz from multiple open pits in the early 1990’s, with only limited modern exploration since. The current Resource is 3.7Mt @ 1.9 g/t Au for 222,000 oz and, despite Black Cat having drilled >40,000m, remains open in all directions and at depth.

RC infill drilling to the south of the historical open pit was undertaken between July and September 2021 with 55 holes for 7,827m completed. This drilling was designed to infill the southern portion of the growing Fingals Fortune deposit and to allow Resource upgrades to commence ahead of Ore Reserve estimation. Positive results from the first 27 holes were reported on 28 September & 5 October 2021 and included:

  • 2m @ 7.33 g/t Au from 92m (21FIRC109)

  • 1m @ 24.4 g/t Au from 69m (21FIRC113)

  • 8m @ 2.42 g/t Au from 78m (21FIRC117)

  • 1m @ 12.3 g/t Au from 53m and 1m @ 36.8 g/t Au from 84m (21FIRC118)

  • 2m @ 25.87 g/t Au from 64m (21FIRC119)

  • 5m @ 4.02 g/t Au from 72m and 2m @ 9.79 g/t Au from 100m (21FIRC120)

  • 2m @ 6.53 g/t Au from 81m, 2m @ 4.93 g/t Au from 85m, 2m @ 2.53 g/t Au from 111m (21FIRC131) and 2m @ 16.75 g/t Au from 118m (21FIRC131)

  • 5m @ 3.53 g/t Au from 84m and 2m @ 2.64 g/t Au from 133m (21FIRC134)

  • 4m @ 4.64 g/t Au from 104m (21FIRC139)

Results from the next 11 holes have now been returned with continuing high-grades intersected, including:

  • 4m @ 4.22 g/t Au from 103m and 5m @ 2.68 g/t Au from 130m (21FIRC128)

  • 6m @ 6.23 g/t Au from 108m (21FIRC138)

  • 3m @ 19.36 g/t Au from 120m and 3m @ 8.57 g/t Au from 148m (21FIRC142)

  • 4m @ 8.13 g/t Au from 91m (21FIRC147)

  • 5m @ 5.11 g/t Au from 78m (21FIRC148)

  • 3m @ 2.62 g/t Au from 51m (21FIRC151)

Results from the remaining 17 holes are expected in November 2021.

Start-up operations at Kal East are planned to include an underground mine at Majestic in conjunction with an open pit at Myhree. Mining at Fingals is planned to follow completion of the Myhree open pit. Mining approvals for an open pit at Fingals will be submitted in December 2021 and are expected to be confirmed in the March 2022 quarter.

PLANNED DRILLING

Black Cat has drilled >77,000m so far in 2021 with a target of ~95,000m before the end of the year. Drilling is focussed on a mix of discovery, Resource growth and Ore Reserve conversion across Kal East.

In line with the industry generally, assay results are slow in their turnaround and Black Cat has seen a steady increase in assay backlogs. This backlog is now being reduced. Currently Black Cat has ~14,000 samples outstanding which are expected to be reported over the coming months.

Drilling activity is currently focussed on the following areas:

  • Majestic Mining Centre: Infill drilling and discovery drilling along strike of known deposits;

  • Fingals Mining Centre: Resource extensions and discovery drilling along structures to the south;

  • Other Areas: Discovery drilling at Black Hills, Trojan, Bulong and Slate Dam.

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 17.5Mt @ 2.1 g/t Au for 1,185,000 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.

FINGAL FORTUNE - 2012 JORC TABLE 1

FINGAL FORTUNE - 2012 JORC TABLE 1 FINGAL FORTUNE - 2012 JORC TABLE 1 FINGAL FORTUNE - 2012 JORC TABLE 1
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.
Recent RC drilling 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.
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, except those
speared as part of a four meter composite. 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. These are submitted for the same assay process as the original samples and
the laboratory are unaware of such submissions.
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.
Selected holes have been picked up by a licenced surveyor using RTK-GPS. All early stage exploration
holes have been picked up by handheld 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. Black Cat’s significant intercepts are verified by database, geological and corporate staff.
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.
The nominal drill hole spacing is 25m (northing) by 25m (easting) for infill drilling and 50m (northing) by
40m (easting) for regional exploration.

Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure
Whether sample compositing has been applied. Drill hole spacing is sufficient.
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to which this is known,
considering the deposit type.
No compositing has been applied.
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 holes were drilled towards grid east, except for selected holes at the Fingals regional program which
were drilled at a 45 degree azimuth. Two holes at Trojan were drilled to grid west, targeting a separate
structure.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. 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.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and
data.
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.

basis.
Mining leases M26/357 and M26/364 are granted are held until 2033 and are renewable for a further 21
years on a continuing basis.
All production is subject to a Western Australian state government Net Smelter Return (“NSR”) royalty of
2.5%.
A royalty of the sum of $1.50 per dry tonne of Ore in respect of 70% of all ore mined from M 26/357 and
either treated by CIP/CIL or sold before treatment is payable to a third party.
There are no registered Aboriginal Heritage sites or pastoral compensation agreements over the
tenements.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any
known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.
No known impediment to obtaining a licence to operate exists and the remainder of the tenements are in
good standing.
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 Mt 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 Mt Monger Gold Project JV,
with minor exploration around the area continuing until divestment.

Section 2: Reporting of Exploration Results
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
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; and
Silver Lake drilled four holes in 2012-2013 testing southern extensions to the mineralisation.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. The Project is located in the Kurnalpi Terrane of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton. Project-scale geology
consists of granite-greenstone lithologies that were metamorphosed to greenschist facies grade.
The style of mineralisation is Archaean orogenic gold.
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 downhole 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 and regional
targets within the Kal East project.
