MALLINA BASIN GOLD – PILBARA, WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Carnaby’s landholding in the Mallina Basin covers 442 km[2] (Figure 1). During the quarter drilling activities were focussed on the 100% owned Strelley Project.

STRELLEY PROJECT (CARNABY 100%)

A 500m, five-hole diamond drilling program was completed at Strelley aiming to define the orientation and style of the gold mineralisation in order to optimise the drill orientation for subsequent aircore and RC drilling programs. Results are pending from all holes drilled. Two diamond holes were drilled at Stockade where wide spaced aircore and shallow RC drilling by Carnaby at the end of 2020 intersected up to 3.9 g/t gold over a 1 km strike (see ASX release 27 January 2021). A single diamond tail was drilled at the newly named Bastion prospect where RC drilling by Carnaby intersected 0.5 g/t gold at bottom of hole in PLRC0005. Two diamond holes were also drilled at the Gibraltar and at Conwy targets further north along the Tabba Tabba Shear Zone.

A 5,000m aircore drilling program is underway at Strelley focussing in on the high priority target areas along the Tabba Tabba and Berghaus Shear Zones including targeting for the first time inside the special lease area south of Stockade, where a maiden access agreement was signed in late December 2020. Results from the aircore drilling are awaited.

A 3,000m RC drilling program will follow shortly after completion of the aircore drilling, aiming to extensively probe the highest priority gold mineralised corridors at Stockade, Bastion, Gibraltar and new targets identified from the current diamond and aircore drilling programs.

GREATER DUCHESS COPPER GOLD PROJECT (CARNABY 82.5 -

100%)

The Greater Duchess Copper Gold Project encompasses over 70 km of IOCG targets north of the Tick Hill gold deposit, centred around the historical Duchess copper mining district and south of Hammer Metals’ (HMX) new Trafalgar copper gold discovery (see ASX release 17 February 2021).

Carnaby has just commenced a 15-line km ground Induced Polarisation ( IP ) pole / dipole survey at Nil Desperandum, Mount Birnie and Duchess which is expected to be immediately followed up with RC drilling.

The Nil Desperandum prospect is a stand-out copper-gold target with high grade copper mineralisation present over 1.5 km strike not drilled since pre-GFC 2007. Historical Results include;

o ND010 20m @ 2.4 % copper o ND012 52m @ 1.0 % copper inc 24 m @ 1.5 % copper o NDR017 50m @ 1.1 % copper inc 19 m @ 2.3 % copper o NDR021 6m @ 5.2% copper and 0.84 g/t gold

The Lady Fanny historical open pits are located 3 km north of Nil Desperandum and were mined at the turn of the century and between 1966-1974.

At Mount Birnie located 4 km north of Tick Hill, RC and diamond drilling was completed by Carnaby in 2019 targeting the turn of the century workings where 50-year-old historical diamond drill results had reported up to 11.7 m @ 7.1% copper (see ASX release 11 June 2019). The drilling by Carnaby intersected three zones of very high-grade copper-gold mineralisation of 2 m @ 3.2% Cu and 3 m @ 9.3% copper and 1.0 g/t gold and 2 m @ 9.5% copper within a broader envelope that assayed 17 m @ 3.1% copper from 84 m in MBC006 (see ASX release 1 August 2019). Significant drill results from Mount Birnie include;

o MBC002 15m @ 2.1 % copper inc 6m @ 4.4 % copper o MBC006 2m @ 3.2 % copper and 17 m @ 3.1 % copper o DDH03 11.7m @ 7.1 % copper o DDH06 13m @ 3.3 % copper inc 4.1m @ 8.5% copper

Carnaby is currently completing a 5 line IP survey at Mount Birnie which aims to be immediately followed up by additional RC drilling.

TICK HILL GOLD PROJECT (100% OWNED) – Mt 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 ~$15.0 million at AISC of A$1,190/oz (see ASX release 5 June 2020). Carnaby is actively pursuing options and opportunities to develop the Tick Hill Gold Project while completing additional permitting requirements and ongoing baseline monitoring programs. A decision to mine and / or agreement to divest part or all of the open pit cutback project is continuing to be evaluated and discussed with 3[rd] parties.

TICK HILL NEAR MINE EXPLORATION (100% OWNED)

A single diamond drill hole was completed at Tick Hill deeps in December 2020. No significant results were received, however weakly elevated gold results were recorded in the vicinity of the target zone and are being evaluated as to their significance. Carnaby remains committed to the Tick Hill extension target and is re-assessing the next stage of exploration which may include the deployment of new geophysical techniques such as 3D seismic to define the structural displacements in the mine stratigraphy.

MALMAC PROJECT (100% OWNED) – WESTERN AUSTRALIA

The Malmac project is located on the northern edge of the Earaheedy Basin, comprising Tooloo subgroup rocks that host the Chinook Zinc-Lead discovery by Rumble Resource (See RTR ASX release 19 April 2021).

==> picture [425 x 252] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 10. Malmac Project Location and Geology Map.

Results of a first pass reconnaissance rock chip and soil sampling program at Malmac West, comprising broad spaced 2 to 4 km traverses were released during the quarter (see ASX release 9 February 2021). They included the identification of a 6 km long copper-nickel-gold anomaly named “ Salvation” with results including;

==> picture [293 x 45] intentionally omitted <==

The Salvation prospect is associated with a little-known outcrop of pillow basalt (Figure 11), a key geological criterion for Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) deposits, including the world-class Degrussa copper gold deposit. The pillow basalt unit is potentially equivalent to the Narracoota Volcanics in the Byrah Basin, reinforcing the emerging discovery potential at Malmac.

Figure 11. The Salvation Copper-Nickel-Gold anomaly and pillow basalt outcrop at the Malmac West tenement.

At Malmac East, first pass reconnaissance mapping and sampling on broad 2 to 4 km spaced traverses totalling of 175 soils samples also outlined a 15 km long copper-nickel-gold soil anomaly named “Oolgahroo” which appears to be coincident with the Salvation Fault.

Carnaby plans to progress the early-stage exploration results at Malmac with further low-cost soil sampling, mapping and rock chip sampling and will consider using geophysics to further refine drill targets during the 2021 field season.

SWEDEN NICKEL & COBALT (100% OWNED)

Carnaby announced the sale of the Lainejaur Project in Sweden for Total Consideration of $1.5 million through the signing of a binding Sale and Purchase agreement with Bayrock Cobalt Limited (see ASX release 18 March 2021).

Consideration comprises of;

  • (a) Cash payment of $0.5 million at settlement subject to completing Conditions Precedent which is currently progressing as planned;

  • (b) issue of an unsecured convertible note with a face value of $0.5 million convertible into securities of an initial public offer (IPO) or cash equivalent payable within 18 months from settlement; and

  • (c) issue of an unsecured convertible note with a face value of $0.5 million convertible into securities of the purchaser or cash equivalent payable within 36 months from settlement.
