Plans are underway to immediately commence exploration activities at Strelley, which will include heritage surveys, soil sampling and drilling. Whilst the Strelley and Mount Grant projects represent highly prospective earlier stage exploration, when combined with the near term development of the Tick Hill project in Queensland and search for the faulted offset of the Tick Hill orebody, represents a strong pipeline of growth potential for the company.”

Figure 1: Carnaby’s new Strelley and Mount Grant gold projects
Strelley Gold Project (Carnaby 100%)
The Strelley Gold Project includes ELA45/5614 pegged and owned 100% by Carnaby covering 39 km[2] and E45/4638 acquired from Lithium Power International ( LPI ) (ASX: LPI). Carnaby owns 100% of the gold rights on E45/4638 and all other minerals excluding lithium, caesium, tantalum and tin, which are retained by LPI.
The Strelley Gold Project is underlain by Archean aged granite and greenstone rocks located 70 km northeast of the Hemi gold discovery by De Grey Mining Ltd (ASX: DEG). The Tabba Tabba Shear Zone passes through the project and is a large scale anastomosing orogenic belt of greenstone associated with significant gold mineralisation within De Grey’s

tenements 30 kms to the SW. A key target within the Strelley Gold Project is the convergence zone of the Tabba Tabba Shear Zone and the interpreted northern extension of the Berghaus Shear Zone (Figure 1 & 2).
A majority of the Strelley Gold Project area is overlain by thin alluvial cover 5-10 m deep which masks the underlying basement rock. Historical exploration within the tenements has been mostly for iron ore, however limited gold exploration has been completed by previous explorers.
Carnaby will immediately commence exploration on the Strelley project including complete compilation of historical gold exploration data, heritage surveys, surface geochemical sampling and drilling.
Mount Grant Gold Project (Carnaby 80%)
The Mount Grant tenement ELA45/5622 contains 45 km strike of greenstone effectively unexplored for gold and located under alluvial cover associated with the De Grey River catchment area.
Upon grant and transfer of the tenement, Carnaby will commence exploration programs including an aeromagnetic survey and targeted first pass drilling programs.
Carnaby has acquired an 80% interest in the tenement from Shumwari Pty Ltd for consideration of 588,000 Carnaby shares and $15,000 reimbursement of costs. At completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study, Shumwari Pty Ltd can elect to contribute or revert to a 1.5% NSR royalty.
Further Opportunities
The acquisition of the Mount Grant and Strelley tenements demonstrates Carnaby’s desire to expand its ground holding and acquire assets of strategic importance near to its existing projects in order to execute Carnaby’s growth plans. Carnaby continues to review gold projects for potential acquisition opportunities in order to add shareholder value.
As previously announced, Carnaby continues to pursue processing options for the development of the Tick Hill Gold project in Queensland and is in advanced discussions with 3rd party owners of processing facilities and contract miners regarding commercial outcomes.
