ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 26 March 2021 Promising Maiden Drilling at Fingals East & Trump Infill
==> picture [85 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
Black Cat Syndicate Limited (“ Black Cat ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to announce an update on RC drilling activities at Trump and Fingals East, both part of the Kal East Gold Project (“ Kal East ”).
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Black Cat drilled 28 infill RC holes at Trump in February 2021. Trump is planned to be mined in conjunction with Myhree and these results confirm the high grades around the core of Trump. The results will be included in the next Resource upgrade and include:
-
6m @ 11.93 g/t Au from 25m (21TRRC018)
-
3m @ 13.14 g/t Au from 49m (21TRRC019)
-
3m @ 8.66 g/t Au from 57m (21TRRC004)
-
Maiden drilling along the Fingals East trend has returned encouraging results. Drilling was aimed at extending mineralisation beyond the historically mined pits and the results show good potential for a maiden Resource at Fingals East. Intercepts include:
-
3m @ 14.00 g/t Au from 78m (21FERC043)
-
2m @ 9.59 g/t Au from 72m (21FERC024)
-
1m @ 14.20 g/t Au from 65m (21FERC046)
-
Black Cat’s ongoing drilling program is progressing well with ~62,000m drilled since July 2020. An RC rig is currently drilling extensional holes beneath Imperial.

Black Cat’s Managing Director, Gareth Solly said: “Drilling at Trump was designed to confirm high grade mineralisation identified in previous drilling and upgrade the Resource category around the proposed open pit, which is planned to be mined in conjunction with Myhree. The results are encouraging and Trump remains open to the north. Importantly, the high grades continue at depth where a lack of drilling constrains the Resource.
Our first program at Fingals East was focused around several historical oxide pits mined in the early 1990’s. The encouraging results support a maiden Resource which is expected in April 2021. Drilling is ongoing and will continue to focus on resource growth. With the option to purchase key components of a processing facility now exercised, we are well positioned to transform into a developer in the near term.”

Trump (M25/024, M25/091, P25/2286) 100%
The infill RC program at Trump is complete and consisted of 28 RC holes for 2,022m. The program was designed to upgrade the Trump Resource where previous drilling returned 4m @ 13.46 g/t Au from 50m (19TRRC025)[1] . Results were encouraging and will be used in the upcoming Resource update due in April 2021. Better results include:
-
6m @ 11.93 g/t Au from 25m (21TRRC018)
-
3m @ 13.14 g/t Au from 49m (21TRRC019)
-
3m @ 8.66 g/t Au from 57m (21TRRC004)
-
4m @ 4.09 g/t Au from 48m (21TRRC015)
-
6m @ 2.42 g/t Au from 51m (21TRRC012)
-
5m @ 2.78 g/t Au from 49m (21TRRC025)
Results show continuation of the high-grade results from the discovery hole in September 2019. A central high-grade core has now been identified which remains open at depth (Figure 2).

Figure 2. Trump North long section displaying drill intercepts and contours as gram-metres
Trump is open to the north with no RC drilling along strike for 600m, to the next fresh rock intersection of 3m @ 3.27 g/t Au from 95m in 20RERC101[2] . This intersection occurs 300m northwest of Boundary on strike from Trump. Only one line of historic RAB drilling, containing anomalous gold, separates these areas. Further drilling is required to test this corridor and increase the potential strike to >1,800m.

Fingals East (M26/248, M26/409, M26/197) 100%
Fingals East is located 1,200m to the east of Fingals Fortune. The strongly mineralised trend strikes parallel to the Fingals Fortune lode. Mineralisation at Fingals East stretches over 2,000m, strikes north-south and contains a number of shallow oxide pits. Over 20,000oz was mined from these pits in the early 1990’s and the area has not been drilled within the last 20 years.
Maiden drilling was completed in February 2021 (63 holes for 6,096m) and was focussed on testing mineralisation in the vicinity of two of the main historical pits in order to establish a maiden Resource. Results include:
-
3m @ 14.00 g/t Au from 78m (21FERC043)
-
2m @ 9.59 g/t Au from 72m (21FERC024)
-
1m @ 14.20 g/t Au from 65m (21FERC046)
-
1m @ 8.00 g/t Au from 77m (21FERC022)
-
2m @ 3.35 g/t Au from 59m (21FERC062)
-
2m @ 2.98 g/t Au from 78m (21FERC017)
Drilling indicates that mineralisation is continuous over at least 1,300m (Figure 3). Resource estimation is underway and expected to be released in April 2021.

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. The Project contains a combined JORC 2012 Mineral Resource of 14.3Mt @ 2.2 g/t Au for 1,025,000oz.
Black Cat plans to construct a central processing facility for the Kal East Gold Project. The processing facility will be located near the Imperial/Majestic deposits, ~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 is designed to 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 east of Kalgoorlie.
Black Cat’s extensive tenement package 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.

FINGALS EAST AND TRUMP - 2012 JORC TABLE 1
| FINGALS EAST AND TRUMP - 2012 JORC TABLE 1 | FINGALS EAST AND TRUMP - 2012 JORC TABLE 1 | FINGALS EAST AND TRUMP - 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. |
Black Cat has recently undertaken sampling activities at Trump and Fingals East via RC drilling. |
| 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. 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. |
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 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 at Trump are drilled towards grid east (90 degrees) with dips ranging from 60 to 70 degrees. Drilling at Fingals East was position grid west and the majority of holes were had 60 degree dip. A small number of holes at Fingals East were drilled vertically. |
|
| 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._ | General Gold completed Aircore drilling over the immediate area of Trump in 1992, following up on an area of historic shafts. RAB drilling extending this line and on additional lines further north were completed by Acacia Resources in 1999. Around 1996 Acacia Resources sought to consolidate, by way of farm‐in and acquisition, much of the land holdings in Bulong Belt. Acacia was the manager of New Bulong Joint Venture, and Queen Margaret joint Venture. Acacia was taken over by Anglo Gold who undertook much more soil geochemistry and did systematic transect drilling across known prospects and into greenfield areas.

| objective of plus‐million-ounce target, Anglo tendered out their rights to the tenements and the database to ASX listed Yilgarn Gold in 2002. Yilgarn Gold’s strategic objective was to develop high‐grade, narrow‐vein underground mining opportunities. It further consolidated its land holding by acquiring properties of Central Kalgoorlie Gold Mines. In 2005 Yilgarn Gold completely changed its corporate focus to offshoreenergy, disposed of its mineral assets, and changed its name to Kairiki Energy. A local prospecting syndicate Bulong Mining ‘BMPL’ secured an option in 2009 and in 2012 fully acquired the properties and the database. BMPL undertook serious metal detecting and limited RAB drilling until early 2018 when the tenements were acquired by Black Cat Syndicate’. Fingals Fortune and Fingals East area 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. 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. The Fingals Fortune deposits and Fingals East deposits (Sibu, Baguss and Futi Baguss) were 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 area has been sporadic with various companies focussed on the nearby Fingals Fortune historic mine. Black Cat acquired the project in 2020. |

| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
| 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 at Trump, Fingals East and other regional targets. |
