ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 26 July 2021
Base Metals Targets Identified at Kal East
==> picture [80 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
Black Cat Syndicate Limited (“ Black Cat ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to announce the earn-in at the Balagundi joint venture with Essential Metals Limited (ASX:ESS) has proceeded to the second stage. Balagundi is part of the Kal East Gold Project (“ Kal East ”) and recent work has identified a number of base metal and gold targets.
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Balagundi is prospective for both gold and VMS style, base metal deposits and recent surface geochemical programs overlayed on structural interpretation have identified new targets including:
-
Dingo Dam (Cu-Au-Zn): a 2km long Cu-Au-Zn anomaly containing historical mine shafts;
-
Anvil (Cu-Pb-Zn-Au): a discrete, ~1.5km long Cu-Pb-Zn-Au anomaly with values up to 634 ppm Cu; and
-
Brontes and Asterope (Cu): two gossans, within 500m east of Anvil.
-
In order to define drill targets, Moving Loop Electromagnetic ground surveys will commence at Anvil, Brontes and Asterope in the August 2021.
-
RC drilling will be undertaken at Dingo Dam in the December 2021 quarter.
-
A large auger sampling program across Kal East is also underway with the objective of delineating anomalies for targeted drilling. To date 5,250 auger samples have been drilled with 3,546 returned and a further 1,400 planned in the current program.

Black Cat’s Managing Director, Gareth Solly said: “Balagundi has the potential to host both gold and base metal deposits and we look forward to the second stage of the farm-in with Essential Metals. Black Cat controls a pipeline of exploration projects to fortify the longevity of the Kal East Gold Project and our systematic exploration across the tenement package is only just starting to hint at that potential. Balagundi is a prime example of an overlooked historical high-grade goldfield and we have identified numerous excellent geochemical targets in the area; our upcoming geophysical surveys will greatly aid in both gold and base metal targeting.
Black Cat is rapidly moving towards production while continuing to actively explore our large and underexplored land holding”.

Balagundi (E27/558) (Black Cat earning 75% from Essential Metals Limited (ASX:ESS))
Black Cat entered into Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreements with Essential Metals Limited on 25 July 2019 to earn 75% of Balagundi by spending $600,000 on the project within 5 years. The earn-in period has two stages, Stage 1 sees $150,000 of expenditure spent within the first 2 years, while stage 2 sees a further $450,000 spent in the next three years. Black Cat has now completed Stage 1 of the earn-in and is proceeding with Stage 2.
Balagundi is located 25kms east of Kalgoorlie and sits immediately adjacent to the north-west portion of the Myhree Mining Centre. Balagundi sits within the Kurnalpi Terrane and is separated from the Myhree Mining Centre by the Victory Fault (a second order regional structure). Balagundi is prospective for both gold and VMS style, base metal deposits.

Work completed to date includes structural reinterpretation of magnetics data, heritage surveys, field mapping and geochemical surveys. A large auger sampling program across Kal East is currently underway with 5,250 auger samples planned, of which 1,300 holes relate to Balagundi. The Balagundi results, combined with historic data, have highlighted (Figure 3):
-
Dingo Dam (Cu-Au-Zn): a 2km long Cu-Au-Zn anomaly containing historical mine shafts;
-
Anvil (Cu-Pb-Zn-Au): a discrete, ~1.5km long Cu-Pb-Zn-Au anomaly with values up to 634 ppm Cu; and
-
Brontes and Asterope Gossans (Cu): two gossans, within 500m east of Anvil.

Dingo Dam (Cu-Au-Zn)
Dingo Dam is an NNW trending Cu and Au anomaly with lesser As and Zn, which sits within a mafic host rock. The anomaly extends for 2km with the northern part of the zone containing historical mine shafts along with significant recent mechanised prospecting. The anomaly runs approximately north-south and splays off a curve in the Victory fault. Historical, wide-spaced, shallow drilling in the north of the anomaly identified gold anomalism but was not assayed for base metals. Follow-up drilling was not undertaken.
Black Cat intends to initially drill along the southern end of the prospect where the copper and gold anomalism is stronger. Drilling is expected to be undertaken in the December 2021 quarter.
Anvil (Cu-Pb-Zn-Au)
Anvil was historically defined on a 400m x 100m auger grid, with results showing a discrete copper anomaly with values up to 634 ppm Cu over ~1.5km of strike length. Infill auger sampling on a 100m x 20m grid subsequently defined a coincident Cu-Pb-Zn-Au anomaly that remains undrilled. Anvil and the surrounding folded and faulted terrane are the subject of a Moving Loop Electromagnetic geophysical survey, which will test for conductive bodies under the soil anomaly. Results from the survey are expected in September 2021.
Brontes and Asterope Gossans (Cu)
The two mapped gossans occur within 500m east of Anvil (Figure 4). The gossans are anomalous in base metals[1] . In 1974, Esso drilled a single 300m deep diamond hole that intersected the target horizon below Brontes. Carbonaceous shales, separated by breccias with up to 50% sulphides (pyrrhotite, pyrite) were intersected in this hole over an interval of 12m. The hangingwall of this zone was logged as mafic while the footwall was logged as felsic, indicating the target horizon is located within this stratigraphic sequence. The Asterope gossan sits at the western end of a Cu anomaly.
Recent mapping and rock chip sampling over the gossans are awaiting multi-element analysis. The Moving Loop Electromagnetic survey will also cover these areas with results due in September 2021.

PLANNED DRILLING
Black Cat will drill a further ~60,000m in 2021 focussed on Resource growth, Reserve definition and discovery potential across Kal East.
Black Cat’s ongoing drilling program is progressing well with ~85,000m drilled from 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021. RC drilling has recently focussed on upgrading Inferred Resources to Indicated, as well as early testing of regional targets. Black Cat intends to drill, report and update Resources on an ongoing basis.
In line with the industry generally, assay results are slow in their turnaround and Black Cat has seen a steady increase in assay backlogs. Additional assay labs are being sought to assist in reducing the backlog.

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 15.3Mt @ 2.2 g/t Au for 1,090,000 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 increasing confidence in the current Resources with an 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 Balagundi, within the Kal East Gold Project by Auger sampling. |
| 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. |
Auger drilling to a depth of 1.5m, whereby a 200g sample is obtained. A commercial laboratory dried, sorted and pulverised the samples. Au was digested by Aqua Regia and analysed by Induced Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry). The pulps were then taken to a commercial geochemical facility and analysed by pXRF. |
|
| 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). |
Power auger drilling to a depth of 1.5m using an open hole technique. |
| Drill sample recovery | Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. |
Recoveries were not recorded. |
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
Duplicate samples were taken 1:50. | |
| 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 samples record colour, reactiveness to HCl and depositional regime. No Auger data will be used for geotechnical or mineral estimation. |
| 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. |
Samples are submitted whole to the laboratory. | |
| 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.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 200g 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 10g Aqua Regia method with Mass Spec finish. This method is considered suitable for determining gold concentrations in soil. |
| 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 1:50 field duplicates. 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. | No twinned holes used in this program. | |
| 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 locations are picked up by hand held GPS. |
| 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 handheld GPS | |
| Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. | The nominal drill hole spacing is 400m (northing) by 40m (easting) |

| Data spacing and distribution |
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. |
No resource estimation applied to these samples. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether sample compositing has been applied. | No compositing has been applied. |
| 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 are vertical to a depth between 0.5m and 1.5m. | |
| 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. |
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 a commercial Auger drilling contractor, and delivered to site by Black Cat Staff. There are no security concerns from Black Cat. |
| Audits or reviews | The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
No review has been undertaken |

A_cknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties._ | Soil sampling generating drill targets was completed by Acacia in the 1990’s. Areas were drilled by Anglo in the 1990’s and continued sporadically until 2011. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. | The Projects are 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. |

| Section 2: Reporting of Exploration Results | ||
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
| 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 and assay 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. |
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. |
The table contains only samples with Cu > 100 ppm. | |
| 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’). |
Not applicable as results are soil geochemical results. |
| 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. |
Only samples > 100ppm Cu are reported. These comprise 231 of the 1300 samples. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; |
Geophysical surveys including aeromagnetic surveys have been carried out by previous owners to highlight and interpret prospective structures in the project area. |
