Operational Activities for the September 2021 Quarter

Occupational Health Safety & Environment

Field activities continued to be performed to a high standard with no Lost Time Injuries (LTI’s), no major incidents of a personal, property or environmental matter occurring during the quarter. Castile’s COVID-19 Business Management Plan ensures all possible steps are taken to ensure the safety of our staff, contractors and the wider community. No Covid-19. cases or incidents were recorded during the quarter.

Community and CLC Relationships

Castile continued to build a strong bond with its local community supporting many local initiatives and events. The site was visited by the Minister of Mining and Resources NT, Mrs Nicole Manison and all government bodies continued to provide great support for the projects advancements.

Relationships with traditional landowners through the Central Land Council continued to be positive and co-operative with Traditional Owner meetings and site visits planned for late October 2021.

Rover 1 Operations

The 2021 Drilling Program progressed through July - September with resource definition and extensional drilling at Rover 1 proving very successful. A key feature of this program is to ensure adequate infill drilling relating the highly concentrated zones of metal associated with the zoned IOCG copper mineralisation and the bonanza gold zones at the base of the magnetite bodies and associated with later fault/shear zones.

The drilling has been successful in providing significant confidence in the projection of higher grade zones within the resource model and eliminating the shortening and smoothing of these that come with global and statistical modelling within the wire frames.

The drilling intercepts returned have been extremely pleasing and multiple intersections of broad, high grade gold and copper mineralisation have been returned which should significantly assist our ongoing mining studies with work beginning on the new updated resource model for Rover 1.

For the quarter, Castile completed 3286m of diamond coring drilling at Rover 1. The drilling program will continue into the December quarter finishing the resource definition holes planned at Rover 1 before the testing of some more regional prospects nearby.

Drilling Results

The drilling results received during the quarter were from the deeper portion of the Jupiter zone where drill density had attenuated the resource estimate.

Significant results received included:

  • 21CRD002: 23.5m @ 2.1% Cu with 0.3g/t Au from 450.5m downhole inc 4m @ 3.1% Cu with 0.6g/t Au from 467m

This hole extended the limits of the broad IOCG mineralisation beyond previous and revealed that economic copper grades extended towards the edge of the magnetite body.

==> picture [139 x 102] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: 2021 Rover 1 Resource Definition Program Drill Strings

==> picture [394 x 397] intentionally omitted <==

  • 21CRD002-1: 22.2m @ 1.5g/t Au with 0.5% Cu from 545.32m downhole

inc 2m @ 8.6g/t Au with 0.2% Cu from 556m

This hole was a wedge off the parent hole above and chased the mineralisation further up-dip into the broader low grade zone of IOCG mineralisation. Results are considered typical of the bulk style IOCG mineralisation within the orebody as opposed to the zoned higher copper and bonanza gold zones toward the base of the magnetite body.

• 21CRD002-2A: 14.5m @ 2.2% Cu with 1g/t Au from 553.5m downhole

38.7m @ 7.4g/t Au with 0.3% Cu from 603m downhole

inc 6m @ 23.4g/t Au with 0.5% Cu from 609m

This hole is another wedge from parent and was targeted toward the base of the magnetite body. It successfully extended the projection of the bonanza gold zone at the base of the main magnetite body. These results will feed directly into the resource update and mining studies at the conclusion of the drilling season

Hole 2 inclusive of the daughter holes is complete with assays now all reported to the market with the results continuing to both confirm and extend areas of mineralisation at Rover 1 as shown by the red zones presented below in Figure 2 for gold (Hole 21CRD002-2A) and Figure 3 for copper (Hole 21CRD002).

Hole 21CRD005 is targeting the Jupiter Deeps magnetite body where strong mineralisation has been intersected. Castile considers this zone which had previously all been classified as inferred contains another substantial pod of economic mineralisation will be tested with the parent and planned wedges to expand the known mineralisation.

The parent hole 21CDR005 targeting the core of the IOCG body returned an outstanding intercept of:

  • 21CRD005: 42.2m (TW of 27.6m) @ 3.5% Cu, 2.1g/t Au and 0.2% Bi from 875m

Following the end of the quarter (announced October 12[th] , 2021) the first wedge of this hole 21CRD005-1 returned another excellent intercept:

  • 21CRD005-1: 18.8m (TW of 13m) @ 2.4% Cu, 4.7g/t Au from 875m

==> picture [264 x 189] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [249 x 183] intentionally omitted <==

Drilling is continuing into the Jupiter Deeps zone with the addition wedges expected to be completed by early November 2021.

Regional Exploration

Castile’s has a vision of establishing a “hub and spoke” style regional project within the Rover Field. The strategy is to construct a processing facility at the Rover 1 IOCG deposit and develop this on a standalone basis. The longevity

==> picture [139 x 102] intentionally omitted <==

and or scale of this initial development is to be enhanced by the addition of ore from other sources within its tenure. Hence, whilst maintaining a focus on the Rover 1 Project, other opportunities are being advanced in parallel. The priorities are the more advanced prospects where significant mineralisation has already been discovered. The advancement of these is greatly enhanced by knowing there will be planned existing infrastructure at Rover 1 to leverage off.

Castile has elected to enhance the geophysical responses on these blind at surface targets before more drilling. Hole clean outs and re-casing with PVC was completed at the Explorer 108, Explorer 142 prospects and Rover 3 prospects as well as the wildcats drilled last year at the Jupiter West target at Rover 1. Results of the DHEM surveys at Explorer 108, 142 and Rover 3 were still pending at the end of the quarter.

Explorer 142

Early in the December quarter, Castile reported that a newly defined deeper conductor within 150m of previous drill intercepts had been detected at Explorer 142. This target is sitting below the already defined copper mineralisation which has a resource of 176,000t @ 5.2% Cu[1] . At the conclusion of the resource definition drilling at Rover 1 the drilling rig will be mobilised to Explorer 142 to extend hole NR142003 to test this anomaly.

==> picture [435 x 220] intentionally omitted <==

1 The Explorer 142 resource is comprised of the following: • Inferred Resource of 176kt @ 5.21% Cu and 0.21g/t Au.

==> picture [139 x 102] intentionally omitted <==

Explorer 108

Towards the end of the September quarter a drilling rig was mobilised 40kms west of Rover 1 to Explorer 108 to prepare two previous drill holes for down hole electromagnetic surveys (DHEM). Explorer 108 hosts a large lead zinc Inferred and Indicated Resource of 11.8Mt 3.2% Zn, 2.00% Pb, 11.1g/t Ag[2] and an Indicated Resource of 5.7Mt 0.36% Cu. At the completion of the work at Explorer 142 the rig will be mobilised to Explorer 108. A hole will be drilled to further test for the continuity of the lead and zinc mineralisation defined in the carbonate rich sediments. It is postulated by Castile that the substantial Pb-Zn mineralisation may be distal to another IOCG type deposit at depth.

Rover 3

Castile’s target at Rover 3 is an IOCG deposit given its strong geophysical similarities to the Rover 1 deposit. Newexco has re-interpreted historical geophysical data in 2020 and during this quarter a DHEM survey was successfully completed with the results pending at the conclusion of the quarter.

Rover 4

The Rover 4 Prospect is approximately 3kms to the north of Rover 1 and could be closed to a portal access for Rover 1 and hence serve as an extra mining area for that mine.

Castile acquired this tenement in 2019 prior to its demerging and ASX listing in February 2020. Previous owners of the tenement, Andromeda Minerals (previously Adelaide Resources) drilled 48 holes exploration at this prospect and had announced some encouraging intercepts within this IOCG target.

Rover 1 Metallurgical Testing and Mining Studies

Metallurgical testing continued throughout the quarter. As reported in “Outstanding Metallurgical Results from Rover 1” (3 September 2021) bulk floatation test work has been completed for Rover 1. The results are shown below in Table 1.

Table 1: Recoveries from Bulk Flotation Testing of Rover 1 Ore (METS Engineering)

Commodity Gold Copper Cobalt Bismuth
Gravity Recovery 21.4%
Bulk Flotation Recovery 72.4% 97.8% 88.0% 89.7%
TOTAL RECOVERY 93.8% 97.8% 88.0% 89.7%

Castile received the results of the large scale bulk flotation test completed by METS Engineering as part of the metallurgical testing being undertaken for the mining and processing studies for Rover 1. The testing is designed to determine the percentage of contained metals that will be recovered from a bulk flotation process. The two key minerals are gold and copper with by-products cobalt and bismuth. In addition, a fifth key mineral will be assessed as part of the processing flow sheet (see Figure 1) which Castile anticipates will be another revenue stream for the project. These results are being followed up in the next quarter with flotation test work focusing on separation of the copper, cobalt and bismuth into separate concentrates.

2 The Explorer 108 resource is comprised of the following: • Indicated Resource of 8.438Mt @ 3.41% Zn, 2.05% Pb, 14.32g/t Ag; and

• Inferred Resource of 3.43Mt @ 2.81% Zn, 1.88% Pb, 3.32% Ag .

==> picture [139 x 102] intentionally omitted <==

Gold will be extracted from the ore utilising gravity and flotation. Test results show that 21.4% of the contained gold can be extracted via an upfront gravity circuit and 72.4 % floats within the sulphide concentrate giving a total recovery of 93.8%. A portion of the remaining 6.2% of the gold can be extracted utilising a Carbon in Leach process which will be assessed on a cost benefit analysis.

Copper recoveries were 97.8% from the bulk flotation which is an extremely high result. Metallurgy studies will now focus on producing an optimal copper concentrate product for sale to offshore smelters. Further studies will assess the economics of producing a pure copper plate product which would be easily saleable in Australia. Cobalt Recovery 88.0% and Bismuth Recovery 89.7% The recoverability of these two products into the bulk float now shows that Rover 1 may produce these two products in separate concentrates at commercial levels and we anticipate that they will have a very positive impact on the economics of the mining and modelling studies underway.

Additional magnetite product from Rover 1 could significantly enhance economic studies

The testing has shown that significant quantities of a low impurity, high quality magnetite are contained within the ore that will be mined from Rover 1 and the tails stream after recovery of other metals.

This specific type of magnetite can be concentrated to create a valuable density modifying industrial mineral. It is commonly applied and sought after in beneficiation processes in the coal industry and as a heavy media additive in other areas of ore processing. It receives a premium price to standard magnetite ore and as it is extractable after crushing and grinding in the rover metallurgical flow sheet has a low cost to generate. .

Our expert consultants, METS Engineering have now commenced low intensity magnetic separation (LIMS) test to further assess the recoveries, quantity and purity of the magnetite. A sample of this Density Modifying Industrial Mineral (magnetite) has been already been extracted as part of the test work. This sample has been sent to ALS Brisbane for evaluation of the quality of the concentrate produced.
