STRELLEY PROJECT (CARNABY 100%)

RC drilling during the quarter intersected significant new gold results from the Bastion, Alcazar and Stockade Prospects as discussed below. Results from a further 8 RC holes are pending.

An extensive follow up RC drilling program will commence in November where a minimum 5,000m program is planned to systematically drill out the newly discovered gold zones at the Bastion, Stockade and Alcazar Prospects along the >4km long Strelley Gold Corridor (Figure 3).

Bastion Prospect

Drilling at the Bastion Prospect has intersected the Bastion intrusion and associated gold mineralisation over a 1.4 km of strike which remains completely open to the north (Figure 3) (See ASX release 15 October 2021).

Results from 5 RC drill holes have been received while results from 4 RC holes remain pending.

The Bastion intrusion hosted gold mineralisation is completely open and undrilled for at least 1 km north of PLRC0043 which intersected 2m @ 5.21 g/t gold from 85m including 1m @ 9.75 g/t gold from 85m and 4m @ 0.5 g/t gold from 130m (Figure 4).

A significant RC drilling program is being planned to test the eastern contact of the Bastion intrusion and the direct extension north of PLRC0043 as well as test the large undrilled coincident gold-arsenic soil anomalies recently generated north-east of Bastion (See ASX release 15 October 2021).

Detailed soil sampling was completed over a 3km strike of the Bastion and North Shear targets generating several new anomalies that will be followed up with drilling (See ASX release 15 October 2021).

Stockade Prospect

Wide zones of gold mineralisation have been intersected at the Stockade Prospect in drill hole PLRC0035 which was drilled targeting a bottom of hole aircore drilling anomaly of 1m @ 0.32 g/t gold from 18m in PLAC0003 (See ASX release 27 October 2021).

Composite results of 5m @ 0.59 g/t gold from 85m, 5m @ 0.45g/t gold from 105m and 10m @ 1.62 g/t gold from 115m were recorded in PLRC0035 (Figure 3 & 5).

The result in PLRC0035 remains completely open at depth and up dip and is undrilled for over 200m to the south and 140m to the north to the nearest aircore drill traverse.

Alcazar Prospect

A single traverse of 4 RC drill holes was drilled across the Alcazar Prospect where recent wide spaced and shallow aircore drilling by Carnaby had identified broad gold anomalism coincident with a large newly identified intrusion.

Results from 3 RC holes have been received outlining a greater than 200m wide intrusion and intersecting high grade gold mineralisation within the intrusion with a composite result of 5m @ 4.83 g/t gold from 110m (Figure 3 & 6) (See ASX release 27 October 2021).

Additional RC drilling is being planned to target the potential extensions of the high-grade intrusion hosted gold mineralisation along the 1.8 km identified prospective corridor.

BIG HILL (CARNABY 100%)

First pass soil sampling was completed during the quarter across the Big Hill Prospect targeting an intrusive style magnetic high anomaly located on the Berghaus Shear Zone (Figure 2).

The results have defined at least 2 subparallel gold anomalous trends along the Berghaus Shear Zone that warrant follow up exploration with a peak result of 25.3 ppb gold recorded against a background of approximately 1 ppb gold (see ASX release 15 October 2021).

NIL DESPERANDUM PROSPECT

Initial drill results announced during the quarter from the second phase of drilling completed at Nil Desperandum (see ASX release 13 August 2021) have confirmed the geological interpretation of a continuous thick (~40m true width) high-grade plunging pipe like geometry that has now been defined over 300m down plunge, showing excellent continuity. Significant results include;

  • NLRC039 15m @ 1.0% copper from 10m

  • NLRC027 60m @ 1.0% copper from 139m including 23m @ 1.7% copper , 0.4 g/t gold from 152m including 7m @ 2.4% copper , 0.3 g/t gold from 161m

  • NLRC029 61m @ 0.6% copper from 47m including 9m @ 1.9% copper, 0.4 g/t gold from 74m including 3m @ 4.7% copper from 79m

  • NLRC026 33m @ 0.8% copper from 130m and 18m @ 0.5% copper from 170m

  • NLDD0031 48.2m @ 0.6% copper from 281m Including 11.1m @ 1.4% copper from 294m

The down-plunge extent of the southwest plunging lode remains completely open at depth. The higher-grade plunge of NLRC017 which intersected 87m @ 0.9% copper including 30m @ 1.8% copper (see ASX release 5 July 2021) is interpreted to project immediately west of the NLDD031 and in line with the NLIP4 IP chargeability which is yet to be drilled (Figure 8). Further drilling is planned to target this plunge in Q4.

LADY FANNY PROSPECT

Subsequent to the quarter, the Company announced two historically relinquished mining leases containing the Lady Fanny high grade copper-gold deposit had been approved by the Queensland Department of Resources to be added to the Carnaby owned surrounding exploration license EMP14366 (See ASX Release 25 October 2021). The two historical mining leases contain over 400m of continuous outcropping high grade copper gold mineralisation in several steeply dipping, sub parallel, north south striking lodes (Figure 10).

Channel rock chip sampling conducted by Carnaby targeted outcropping worked areas of the high-grade lode and it is likely that a wider halo of lower grade copper gold mineralisation exists but has not yet been sampled due to poor exposure of the halo areas in most cases. Results from the sampling has identified very high-grade copper gold mineralisation including true width results of:

  • 5m @ 2.7% copper including 0.4m @ 14.7% copper (Figure 3)

  • o 1.2m @ 9.0% copper, 0.9g/t gold o 2m @ 11.4% copper , 0.3g/t gold including 0.9m @ 21.3% copper o 0.8m @ 12.8% copper, 11.1g/t gold

Figure 10. Lady Fanny and Burke and Wills Prospect Plan showing new drill and channel sampling results and amalgamated historical mining lease areas.

The Lady Fanny historical mining lease areas also have extensive stockpiles and dumps from the turn of the century mining and more recent activity in the late 1960’s to early 1970’s. A total of 73 channel mullock samples from these dumps were collected by Carnaby and recorded an average grade of 1.7% copper and 0.6g/t gold.

A significant RC drilling program is now planned within the area of the historical mining leases as a first pass test of the shallowly worked copper gold mineralisation present.

BURKE AND WILLS PROSPECT

The Burke and Wills Prospect is located 400m west of Lady Fanny and consists of a north south striking shear lode horizon that has mostly been worked in early 1900’s shallow workings (Figure 10).

==> picture [595 x 13] intentionally omitted <==

Outcropping copper gold mineralisation in amongst shallow workings at Burke and Wills has been traced over 200m of continuous lode. A single 1m wide channel sample taken in the northern end of the deposit assayed 19% copper and 6.8 g/t gold (Figure 10).

A highly encouraging RC drill result of 4m @ 2.3% copper and 0.7 g/t gold from 36m including 1m @ 7.2% copper and 0.7 g/t gold from 39m in BWRC001 was recorded with mineralisation characterised by semi massive to halo disseminated chalcopyrite (Figure 10).

MOUNT BIRNIE PROSPECT

No work completed.

TICK HILL GOLD PROJECT (100% OWNED) – MOUNT ISA, QUEENSLAND

MINE DEVELOPMENT

The Tick Hill open pit cutback is forecast to produce 63,300t @ 6.1 g/t for 12,500oz generating pre-tax cashflows of ~$15,000,000 at AISC of A$1,190/oz (see ASX release 5 June 2020). A decision to develop, consolidate and / or divest part or all of the open pit cutback project is in progress.

TICK HILL NEAR MINE EXPLORATION (100% OWNED)

No work completed.

MALMAC PROJECT (100% OWNED) – WESTERN AUSTRALIA

A second phase of field exploration has been completed at Malmac West, where wide spaced soil sampling (391 soils) and reconnaissance mapping, rock chip sampling (110 samples) have been collected (Results Pending).

The Malmac project lies on the northern margin of the Earaheedy Basin, and comprises a package of rocks variously termed the ‘Troy Creek Beds’ or ‘Troy Creek Schist’. The Troy Creek package has been affiliated with the Bryah Group (host to the DeGrussa, Monty and Horseshoe Lights Cu-Au massive sulphide deposits), Yerrida Group (host to the epithermal-style Thaduna Copper Deposit) and the Earaheedy Group (host to the recent Chinook Zn-Pb discovery by Rumble Resources Limited).

CORPORATE

Cash and Restricted Cash

As at 30 September 2021, Carnaby held $5.6 million in cash which includes $0.3 million in restricted cash. Restricted cash comprises cash held in term deposits issued in the Company’s name which have been used to provide security for the Company’s bank guarantee facility.

Proceeds from a 5% royalty on the Tick Hill Tailing Retreatment Project have continued to accumulate (see ASX release 3 August 2020). The payment of $221,000 associated with Q2 2021 production of was received in August. Cumulative royalties now received are $381,000.

No material tailings movement occurred in Q3 while the operators are implementing a new processing route to size material on site prior to haulage. It is expected that operations will recommence in November once government permitting for the amendment has been received.

The improvement in the terms of the Share Sale Agreement for the divestment of the Lainejaur Project in Sweden was announced during the quarter. The Company is expecting to begin receiving proceeds from the $1.5 million total consideration in the coming months (See ASX release 19 July 2021).
