Strong Results in Discovery Drilling at Kal East Gold Project
==> picture [85 x 54] intentionally omitted <==
Black Cat Syndicate Limited (“ Black Cat ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to announce an update on RC drilling at various early-stage targets within the Kal East Gold Project (“ Kal East ”).
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Assays from programs at the Majestic, Fingals, and Trojan Mining Centres highlight the potential for Resource growth, along with encouraging results on early-stage targets.
-
Discovery drilling results include:
-
4m @ 18.40 g/t Au from 96m (21IMRC022) - northern extension of Imperial deposit (Majestic)
-
8m @ 5.23 g/t Au from 48m (21IMRC002) - southern extension of Imperial deposit (Majestic)
-
8m @ 2.25 g/t Au from 36m (21IMRC015) - new target, Majestic Mining Centre
-
2m @ 7.64 g/t Au from 40m (21FRRC016) - new target, south of Fingals
-
4m @ 5.25 g/t Au from 28m (21FRRC034) - new target, south west of Fingals
-
7m @ 5.04 g/t Au from 61m (21TNRC001) - possible extension of Trojan, south of dolerite dyke
-
o4m @ 6.67 g/t Au from 84m (21TNRC006) - new parallel target, south east of Trojan -
~75,000m drilled since July 2020 and ~4,500 samples remain outstanding. Black Cat is fully funded to drill a further ~80,000m in 2021.

Black Cat’s Managing Director, Gareth Solly said: “Recent drilling has focused on making discoveries at Kal East. Particularly pleasing are the results north of Imperial including the high-grade 4m @ 18.4 g/t Au. This is the most northerly intersection to date and in an area that historically has not been drilled deep enough. Furthermore, we have seen significant intersections at early-stage targets at Fingals. Importantly, our first drill program at Trojan has already confirmed two exciting targets and indicates that mineralisation extends beyond a dolerite dyke to the south. This demonstrates the potential for growth around our core mining centres.”

Majestic Mining Centre (M25/350, P25/2323) 100%
A 28 hole RC program was completed in April 2021 for 4,840m. The program had several objectives: extend the Imperial Resource at depth; test below the stripped profile north of Imperial; and test early-stage targets within the greater Majestic Mining Centre. Most holes were sampled as 4m composites, with appropriate 1m re-splits submitted for assay and further results expected in June 2021. Recent results include[1] :
-
8m @ 5.23 g/t Au from 48m (21IMRC002) - southern extension to Imperial
-
1m @ 16.60 g/t Au from 155m (21IMRC002) - southern extension to Imperial[2]
-
5m @ 2.95 g/t Au from 175m (21IMRC002) - southern extension to Imperial[2]
-
1m @ 14.70 g/t Au from 228m (21IMRC002) - southern extension to Imperial[2]
-
1m @ 9.78 g/t Au from 228m (21IMRC003) - southern extension to Imperial[2]
-
4m @ 3.29 g/t Au from 72m (21IMRC005) - northern extension to Imperial
-
8m @ 2.25 g/t Au from 36m (21IMRC015) - early-stage target, north east of Imperial
-
4m @ 2.92 g/t Au from 20m (21IMRC017) - early-stage target, northern extension to Crown
-
4m @ 18.40 g/t Au from 96m (21IMRC022) - northern extension to Imperial
These results confirm multiple areas require follow up drilling. Most promising are the results to the north of Imperial, including 4m @ 18.40 g/t Au from 96m returned directly north of the current Resource. It is considered that mineralisation has not been adequately tested along strike of Imperial at depth. Both Imperial and Majestic exhibit a stripped profile which deepens to the north. As shown in Figure 2, no holes test the fresh rock to the north of the current Resource.

Figure 2: Long Section showing significant potential north of Imperial with no historical holes intersecting fresh rock for 600m north of the current Resource at Imperial
Multiple zones of mineralisation were also successfully intercepted at depth to the south of Imperial. Additionally, new targets returned positive results including the historic gold/copper target 200m south of Majestic[3] , and further deeper drilling is warranted. The Company intends to drill the untested zone North of Imperial and at depth south of Majestic as part of the 2021 drilling campaign.

Fingals Mining Centre (M26/357, M26/148, M26/248 and M26/364) 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 and only limited modern exploration had been undertaken since. The current Resource (2.6Mt @ 1.8 g/t Au for 156,000 oz) is open along strike and at depth.
A 60 hole program for 4,844m was completed in April 2021, focussing on regional exploration within the area. Targets included: follow up of historic drilling results; a poorly tested line of pre-WW1 shafts; and interpreted intersections of prospective structures and lithologies. Assays for 40 holes have been received and results include:
-
4m @ 3.36 g/t Au from 12m (21FRRC016) - historic target south of Fingals
-
2m @ 7.64 g/t Au from 40m (21FRRC016) - historic target south of Fingals (ended in mineralisation)
-
4m @ 2.99 g/t Au from 52m (21FRRC017) - testing historic drilling south of Fingals
-
4m @ 5.25 g/t Au from 28m (21FRRC034) - lithological target south west of Fingals
-
8m @ 1.15 g/t Au from 52m (21FRRC024) - lithological target south west of Fingals
-
4m @ 3.04 g/t Au from 52m (21FRRC013) - one of several lines of shafts south of Fingals
-
4m @ 1.46 g/t Au from 40m (21FRRC007) - one of several lines of shafts south of Fingals
These encouraging results indicate that all areas require further drilling. Additionally, several results are associated with altered felsic porphyries which will require drilling and definition.

Trojan Mining Centre (M25/0104, E25/0571, E25/0558, E25/0526 and P25/2333) 100%
The Trojan Mining Centre is located 10km east of the proposed mill site on mining lease M25/0104. Open pit mining between 2000-2004 extracted 1.97Mt @ 1.97 g/t Au for 125,129oz. Mining ceased when the gold price dropped to US$400oz and little work has been undertaken since. The current Resource is 2.1Mt @ 1.7 g/t Au for 115,000oz and is open at depth and potentially along strike.
Black Cat commenced its maiden drilling program at Trojan with a 20 hole (2,156m) program as first pass testing of parallel shears. Assays for 14 of holes have been received with two exciting targets identified:
-
7m @ 5.04 g/t Au from 61m (21TNRC001) - south along strike of the Trojan deposit
-
4m @ 6.67 g/t Au from 84m (21TNRC006) - parallel shear south east of the Trojan deposit[4]
Hole 21TNRC001 is located 300m south of the Trojan deposit and extends historical intersections of 4m @ 7.13g/t Au from 51m (CMM417) and 5m @ 4.40g/t Au from 63m (TEXRC010) . This area lies south of a cross cutting dolerite dyke which in the past has been interpreted to close off the Trojan deposit. The intercept is located on the Trojan shear along the stratigraphic contact between an andesite and the felsic unit (which hosts the Trojan deposit to the north). Additional drilling is being planned to extend and further test the mineralisation south of the dolerite dyke.
Hole 21TNRC006 is located on an interpreted parallel shear ~1km to the south east of the Trojan deposit. This intercept occurs within fresh andesitic rock, 50m south of a historical intercept of 1m @ 2.67 g/t Au from 96m (CMM499) . This area will also be subject to follow up drilling.

ABOUT BLACK CAT SYNDICATE (ASX: BC8)
Black Cat’s Kal East Gold Project comprises 756km[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 14.3Mt @ 2.2 g/t Au for 1,025,000oz which are 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 used grinding mills and associated infrastructure have already been purchased and will be refurbished and relocated to the Majestic Mining Centre during 2021. Other key components have also been identified for procurement and Black Cat intends to secure all items needed to allow 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 Resource with an ongoing drilling program underway and delivering results.

MAJESTIC, FINGALS & TROJAN MINING CENTRES - 2012 JORC TABLE 1
| MAJESTIC, FINGALS & TROJAN MINING CENTRES - 2012 JORC TABLE 1 | MAJESTIC, FINGALS & TROJAN MINING CENTRES - 2012 JORC TABLE 1 | MAJESTIC, FINGALS & TROJAN MINING CENTRES - 2012 JORC TABLE 1 |
|---|---|---|
| Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data | ||
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
| Sampling techniques | Nature and quality of sampling (eg 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 Majestic Mining Centre, Fingals Mining Centre and Trojan Mining Centre 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. Selected holes were sampled by 4m composits, taken with a spear. Composit samples returning a grade >0.1 g/t Au were then replit into the original 1m samples. 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 (eg 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. |

| Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data | ||
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
| 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 4 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. | The nominal drill hole spacing is 25m (northing) by 25m (easting) for infill drilling and 50m (northing) by 40m (easting) for regional exploration. |
| 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. | 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 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. |
|
| 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._ | Gold was discovered in the Majestic area in the early 1900’s with minor, small scale workings undertaken. This was revived in the 1930’s at Jones Find when gold was found during fencing operations. Modern exploration began in the area in the 1960’s Ni boom, and continued in the 1980’s with minor work done by Hillmin Gold Mines NL and WMC carrying out extensive work in the area into the mid 1990’s. Homestake gold of Australia, Red Back Mining, Solomon, Aurion and Newcrest all held the ground into the mid 2000’s. Integra took control of the ground and utilising RAB/AC and follow up RC drilling discovered the main gold bearing area of Majestic in 2010, with the nearby Imperial being discovered in 2011. Integra advanced the projects until their merger with Silver Lake in 2012. Silver Lake mined the Majestic and Imperial deposits as open pits between 2016 and 2018 with the project being sold to Black Cat in 2020. 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. Gold was mined at the Trojan deposit between 2001 and 2004 during which time the open pit produced 2Mt @ 1.97 g/t Au for 125,000 ounces. |

| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. | The Projects are located in the Kurnalpi Terrane of the Archaean Yilgarn CratonProject-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 (eg 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 (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
All intercepts are reported as downhole depths as true widths are not yet determined. |
