ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 21 Nov 2023
----- End of picture text -----
Resource drilling continues at Kookynie.
Carnavale Resources Ltd (CAV) is pleased to provide an update on its exploration activities at the Kookynie Gold Project. CAV has commenced further resource drilling at McTavish East following up on excellent, extensional high-grade gold results from recent RC drilling in fresh rock that identified high-grade gold shoots.

- 36 hole, 4,200m RC drilling program has commenced, targeting infill and extensions of the highgrade plunging shoots at the McTavish East Prospect identified by RC drilling in fresh rock.
==> picture [15 x 15] intentionally omitted <==
- Includes 6 Diamond tails for 350m of NQ2 core to provide data for structural, geotechnical and metallurgical study.
==> picture [15 x 15] intentionally omitted <==
- Drilling designed to allow calculation of a maiden JORC 2012 code mineral resource estimate (MRE) within 250m of surface and economic studies to be undertaken.

- Drill results expected in January 2024.

CEO Humphrey Hale commented:
“We are very pleased to be drilling at Kookynie again adding to the high-grade gold zones at McTavish East. With this round of drilling, we are targeting the achievement of a maiden resource early in 2024 that will support mining studies. We are confident this drilling will show increased continuity of the high-grade shoots and add ounces.”

Figure 2: Long section at McTavish East showing location of proposed drilling at McTavish East.
Area A in figure 2 will be drilled to a density that will allow an indicated maiden MRE to be calculated including potential oxide resources. The drilling is designed to outline high grade resources within 250m of surface at this stage.
Area B has had substantial high-grade intercepts but has not been drilled in sufficient density to model the high-grade lodes. This area will be specifically drilled to test for structurally controlled high grade shoots that can potentially add ounces to the MRE.
CAV has included 350m of diamond drilling in 6 holes to add structural information to the exploration model and provide material for early metallurgical testwork and geotechnical assessment.
Since 2021, the prospective McTavish East Prospect trend has been defined over approximately 2km with aircore drilling. (figure 3). In the first quarter of 2024, in addition to the work described above at areas A and B, further drilling is proposed to test for high-grade mineralisation along strike in areas C and D (figure 3). These areas have the potential for concealed, high-grade mineralisation indicated by the anomalous gold results in previously received aircore results.

Figure 3 : Long section showing exploration opportunities along strike from McTavish East.
Extensive historic gold mining occurred between 1895 and 1922 throughout the Kookynie area, including the Cosmopolitan mine, the largest gold producer where historic high-grade gold production that amounted to more than 331,000 ounces of gold[1] at 15g/t.
Carnavale’s goal is to explore and define high-grade, truckable resources, of a similar size to the historic Cosmopolitan Mine that can be processed at an existing third-party nearby processing plant. The McTavish East Prospect is located 15km from Genesis Minerals Ltd’s Ulysses Project and 63km from their Gwalia processing plant at Leonora.
