ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 5 March 2021

Extensional and Infill Resource Drilling Update

==> picture [85 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

Black Cat Syndicate Limited (“ Black Cat ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to announce an update on diamond drilling activities at Imperial/Majestic and RC drilling at Fingals Fortune, both part of the Kal East Gold Project (“ Kal East ”).

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Black Cat drilled 13 diamond holes at Imperial/Majestic in late 2020. Results from the final nine holes show multiple high-grade zones indicating strong structural continuity up to 75m below the current Resource. The results, which will be included in the next Resource estimate, include:

  • 0.28m @ 30.3 g/t Au from 362.94m (20IMDD005)

  • 1.00m @ 13.4 g/t Au from 294.20m and 0.29m @ 12.1 g/t Au from 301.67m (20IMRC010)

  • 1.00m @ 15.9 g/t Au from 147.00m and 0.40m @ 8.53 g/t Au from 345.43m and 0.25m @ 9.45 g/t Au from 346.00m and 2.16m @ 5.81 g/t Au from 347.45m (20IMDD013)

  • 0.48m @ 40.23 g/t Au from 413.43m and 0.34m @ 14.3 g/t Au from 476.4m (20IMDD014)

  • Infill drilling at Fingals Fortune continues to confirm the structure and grades expected in the Resource within this large, shallow deposit. Of the 34 (out of 75) holes returned to date, 90% contain mineralisation with multiple intersections in each hole. Results will be included in a Resource update to be estimated in March 2021. The deposit remains open in all directions.

  • Black Cat’s ongoing drilling program is progressing well with ~57,000m completed since July 2020. An RC rig is currently drilling extensional holes beneath the Imperial deposit.

Black Cat’s Managing Director, Gareth Solly said: “Majestic continues to show potential for a long-life underground operation. The new results demonstrate continuation of the primary mineralisation ~75m below the current Resource and will be used to estimate a new Resource to be announced later in March 2021.

The infill drilling at Fingals Fortune continues to add confidence to this large, shallow Resource, which will also be updated in late March 2021.

With the recent option to purchase the key components of a processing facility, we are well positioned to transform into a developer in the near term. In the meantime, drilling will be focused on Resource growth and maiden Reserve definition.”

Extensional and Infill Resource Drilling Update

==> picture [85 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

Imperial/Majestic (M25/350) 100%

The maiden diamond program at Imperial/Majestic is complete and consisted of 13 tails from 15 pre-collars, for 5,514.9m (including 3,564m of RC pre-collar). The program was designed to confirm Imperial/Majestic’s potential to become a high-grade underground mine. The program targeted deeper Inferred Resource extensions up to 75m below the current Resource. The initial 4 holes[1] included:

  • 2.21m @ 24.53 g/t Au from 369.34m (20IMDD002) - Majestic

  • 1.13m @ 30.23 g/t Au from 259.68m (20IMDD003) - Majestic

  • 1.00m @ 10.00 g/t Au from 205.00m (20IMDD001) - Majestic

The remaining nine holes have now been returned and include:

  • 0.28m @ 30.30 g/t Au from 362.94m (20IMDD005) - Majestic

  • 1.00m @ 13.40 g/t Au from 294.20m and 0.29m @ 12.10 g/t Au from 301.67m (20IMRC010) - Imperial

  • 1.00m @ 15.90 g/t Au from 147.00m and 0.40m @ 8.53 g/t Au from 345.43m and 0.25m @ 9.45 g/t Au from 346.00m and 2.16m @ 5.81 g/t Au from 347.45m (20IMDD013) - Majestic

  • 0.48m @ 40.23 g/t Au from 413.43m and 0.34m @ 14.30 g/t Au from 476.40m (20IMDD014) -Majestic

Results show continuation of the high-grade structures up to 75m below the current Resource which has the potential to increase the Inferred Resource in the next update to be released in March 2021. The upper areas of the Imperial/Majestic Resources are well drilled, and studies are currently underway to define maiden Ore Reserves. Infill drilling on the deeper areas is planned in order to convert to Indicated Resources and future potential Ore Reserves.

An RC rig is currently on site drilling the down plunge position of Imperial (Figure 1). Deeper drilling is planned to further extend the mineralisation below Majestic and will be undertaken in the June 2021 quarter.

Additional targets are also currently being defined along strike of the existing Resources. Drilling is planned to test their potential.

Fingals Fortune (M26/357, M26/148, M26/248 and M26/364) 100%

Fingals Fortune is located on granted mining leases 8kms south of Imperial/Majestic in an area that was open pit mined in the early 1990’s. Historical mining extracted ~420,000t @ 2.7 g/t Au for 36,500 oz from the Fingals Fortune pit and another 20,200 oz from three nearby satellite pits. The current Resource (2.6Mt @ 1.8 g/t Au for 156,000 oz) is open along strike and at depth (Figure 3).

Drilling of a Resource infill program (75 holes for 8,994m) was completed during February 2021. Fingals Fortune is a shallow flat lying deposit that contains multiple vein sets of moderate grades. Tight spaced drilling was undertaken within the Resource to convert from Inferred to Indicated. As expected, results show multiple zones of mineralisation in ~90% of the drilling, for the 34 holes returned to date. Better infill results include:

  • 5m @ 3.57 g/t Au from 72m (21FIRC038)

  • 6m @ 5.07 g/t Au from 63m (21FIRC040)

  • 1m @ 12.20 g/t Au from 128m (21FIRC025)

  • 3m @ 2.52 g/t Au from 88m (21FIRC009)

  • 5m @ 1.59 g/t Au from 97m (21FIRC004)

  • 6m @ 1.25 g/t Au from 103m (21FIRC010)

  • 9m @ 1.33 g/t Au from 101m (21FIRC013)

An updated Resource for Fingals Fortune will be released in March 2021.

PLANNED DRILLING

Black Cat’s ongoing drilling program is progressing well with ~57,000m drilled from 1 July 2020 to 28 February 2021. RC drilling has recently focussed on upgrade of Inferred Resources to Indicated for calculation of maiden 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 Fortune: Resource extensions and Ore Reserves;

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

  • Fingals Fortune East: maiden Resources at multiple deposits;

  • 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 12.3Mt @ 2.3 g/t Au for 905,000oz.

Black Cat plans to construct a central processing facility for the Kal East Gold Project during 2021. The processing facility is expected to 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 to study work for the definition of Ore Reserves approved for mining.

Black Cat has a near-term target of 1 million ounces of Resources with a +60,000m drilling program underway and delivering results.

FINGALS FORTUNE AND IMPERIAL/MAJESTIC - 2012 JORC TABLE 1 FINGALS FORTUNE AND IMPERIAL/MAJESTIC - 2012 JORC TABLE 1 FINGALS FORTUNE AND IMPERIAL/MAJESTIC - 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 Fingals Fortune and Imperial/Majestic by RC and
DD 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.
Diamond samples were half cored and sample sizes range from 0.2m to 1.2m.
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. Diamond drilling was NQ core size.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.
RC samples are checked visually. DD recoveries are checked by logging RQD data on a meter by meter
basis.
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. DD samples were half cored and the same
half was submitted for assay.
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.
Logging of diamond core record lithology, mineralogy, texture, mineralisation, weathering, colour, alteration,
veining and structure.
All core is photographed and stored for later use.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. All recent drilling has been logged in full.

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sub-sampling techniques
and sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core
taken.
All core was half core.
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. Diamond duplicates are taken on selected core intervals.
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.
The majority of holes at Fingals Fortune are drilled towards grid east at -60 degrees dip, with a small
proportion at -55 to -70 degree dip and some vertical holes. Imperial majestic holes are all drilled towards
the east with a -60 degree dip.
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.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. The Projects are located in the Kurnalpi Terrane of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton. Fingals Fortune is within
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.

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
Geophysical surveys including aeromagnetic surveys have been carried out by previous owners to
highlight and interpret prospective structures in the project area.

samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results;
bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating substances.
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 Majestic,
Fingals Fortune and other regional targets.
