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.

PLANNED DRILLING

Black Cat’s ongoing drilling program is progressing well with ~62,000m drilled from 1 July 2020 to 28 February 2021. RC drilling has recently focussed on upgrade of Inferred Resources to Indicated for calculation of Ore Reserves. Black Cat intends to drill, report and update Resources and studies on an ongoing basis.

RC drilling activity will focus on the following programs through the March 2021 and June 2021 quarters:

  • Imperial/Majestic: Resource extensions and infrastructure sterilisation;

  • Fingals East: maiden Resources at multiple deposits;

  • Fingals Fortune: Resource extensions and infill drilling;

  • Rowe’s Find: extensions of the existing Resource;

  • Bulong & Black Hills: Resource infill and exploration drilling; and

  • Wombola: Resource extension and exploration 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. 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. Anglo consolidated the soil
and drill‐hole datasets. Aftertheidentificationofa string ofgold depositswhichdidnotmeet theircorporate

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.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. The Projects are located in the Kurnalpi Terrane of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton. Trump andFingals
Eastarewithin 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.
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.

Section 2: Reporting of Exploration Results
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.
