GOLD MINERALISATION IN RAB DRILLING AT GOLDEN CAMEL PROJECT; INITIAL RESULTS FROM DRUMMARTIN PROJECT

  • Scout RAB drilling survey reports best intersection of 6 metres averaging 4.2g/t gold at the Golden Camel Project

  • Widespread scattered arsenic and silver anomalism confirm Golden Camel potential

  • Widely-spaced air core drill holes completed across each of four targets at Drummartin Project

  • Favourable bedrock lithologies and trace geochemical results confirm prospectivity for goldbearing corridors associated with major fault structures at Drummartin


During May and June 2018, Catalyst Metals Limited ( Catalyst or the Company ) ( ASX: CYL ) carried out the first reconnaissance programmes on the Golden Camel Project and the Drummartin Project both located east of the Whitelaw Gold Belt. Limited previous exploration has been carried out on these areas and the RAB and Air Core drilling programmes are primarily designed to test basement depth and confirm bedrock geology. Despite being a very early stage of exploration, RAB drilling intersected a shallow zone of gold mineralisation at the Golden Camel Project (6.0 metres @ 4.2g/t Au from 12 metres depth in RGB040) located in an area over three kilometres along strike from known mineralisation.

GOLDEN CAMEL PROJECT FARM-IN AGREEMENT

In July 2018 the Company entered into an agreement with a private company, Golden Camel Mining Pty Ltd, to earn a 50.1% interest in Exploration Licences EL5449 and EL5490. The expenditure of $55,000 in the first quarter of the 2019 financial year satisfies Catalyst’s obligation under Phase 1 of this agreement and has generated results providing sufficient encouragement to justify the Company embarking on Phase 2 of the Agreement. Phase 2 entitles the Company by the expenditure of $650,000 over the next four years, to earn a 50.1% interest in the two exploration licences.

The tenements cover a large area of over 25km north-south x 3km wide, totalling 85 square kilometres, located approximately 15 km east of the Fosterville gold mine (Figure 1).

Included in the Golden Camel tenement package are Mining Leases MIN5548 and MIN5570 covering the Golden Camel gold mine. In 2017, Golden Camel Mining successfully mined and processed approximately 6,000 tonnes of ore between surface and 10 metres depth from the Golden Camel mine. Historical drill results demonstrate the continuation of gold mineralisation to greater depth. Phase 2 of Catalyst’s earn-in agreement includes the option to purchase a 50.1% interest in the Mining Leases for $1 million after expenditure of $350,000 and the completion of 1,200 metres of diamond/RC precollar at the Golden Camel and Tolleen mine sites.

At the Toolleen mine site, where historic mining activities have been rehabilitated, previous drill results indicate the continuation of gold mineralisation to greater depth. A number of other prospects are identified from the results of past exploration and modest historic mining activities (Figure 2)

INITIAL EXPLORATION AND RESULTS

The two ELs cover a Cambrian aged rock sequence containing sediments and basic volcanics with cherts and include small historically-mined gold occurrences (Golden Camel, Toolleen, Glengarry) and gold prospects identified by previous surface sampling (Figure 2) in various host geological units. The sequence is sub-cropping to thinly covered by eluvial sediments, but the basement sediments appear only to have been lightly explored.

The initial phase of reconnaissance exploration completed by Catalyst was designed to provide orientation to geology and potential mineralisation throughout the length of the tenement block. It comprised 130 Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drill holes on 8 traverses spaced along 22 km strike length of the target stratigraphy (Figure 2). Holes were very broadly spaced, approximately 200m apart, with infill to 100m where geologically or geochemically indicated. Drill holes were mostly less than 20m in depth, and sampled in weathered bedrock.

Amongst the few anomalous gold values recorded by this widely-spaced scout drill survey, the significant drill results were recorded in RBG040 - 12-18m (6m) averaging 4.2 g/t gold, situated 8km north of the Golden Camel mine and potentially along strike from the old Glengarry workings. In addition, in RBG006 (adjacent to the old Toolleen mine) one sample recorded 0.1g/t gold (Figure 2).

However, scattered geochemically anomalous levels of arsenic, antimony and silver, more widely distributed elements commonly associated with gold mineralisation in the region, occur on almost every traverse, providing focus for future follow-up drilling.

FUTURE PROGRAM

Future programs will include follow up RAB drilling to locate gold within the prospective geochemically anomalous trends indicated by the initial scout survey; research of historic drilling records and deeper drill-testing of gold mineralisation known to exist beneath the currently discontinued mines on the tenement block, Golden Camel and Toolleen, and possibly below the Glengarry workings (Figure 2). Should targets require deeper investigation, air core or RC methods of drilling would be employed.

DRUMMARTIN PROJECT EL6507

The Drummartin EL6507 was granted to a wholly owned subsidiary of Catalyst, Kite Operations Pty Ltd, in December 2017 for a term of five years. Situated east of the Company’s Whitelaw Belt landholdings (Figure 1), the area (671 square kilometres) was selected to cover the northerly extensions (concealed beneath younger sedimentary cover) of the major Redesdale and Drummartin faults. These are thought to control the introduction of the gold mined from the Fosterville Gold Mine to the south in a structural relationship analogous to that which links the Whitelaw Fault to the Bendigo goldfield, as well as to Catalyst’s Four Eagles and Tandarra gold discoveries to the west (Figures 1 and 3). For reporting purposes, the Drummartin EL does not presently qualify as a material mining project.

The potential for undiscovered gold deposits to the west of each of these fault lines has had limited historic exploration; with the work which has been done revealing encouraging results at locations shown on Figure 3:

  • At Lockington, located ~10-15 km south of the eastern part of the EL southern boundary, along the Redesdale Fault, multiple gold intersections in AC and DD up to 10 metres in width with peak gold values up to 7.76 g/t gold with arsenic (As) up to 1.03%. This mineralisation occurs in multiple north-south Au-As-Sb (antimony) corridors up to 8km long, over a 3km width across-strike, (Turner, G. 2007)

  • In AC drill holes in the centre of the Drummartin EL, 0.114 g/t gold and As up to 400ppm (Burrowes, T.J. and Warren, A. 2011); and

  • Adjacent to the Drummartin Fault, 7km to the south of the EL, highly anomalous As values up to 1,000 ppm and trace gold (peak 76 ppb) (Lowe, G.M. and Bergin, L.T. 2007).

INITIAL RECONNAISSANCE AND RESULTS

Exploration targets were generated in the western half of the Drummartin Project based on Whitelaw Belt models after review and reinterpretation of gravity data sets and open-file reports of earlier exploration activities.

Four of five targets were evaluated by single traverses of air core (AC) drill holes, totalling 27 AC holes typically to around 150 metres in depth and in total 2,870 metres of drilling. The wide spacing of these holes (300m apart) was fundamentally designed to provide initial insights into the depth of cover and bedrock geology; and in doing so to provide some incidental geochemical indications of prospective mineralised corridors. The separation of these holes is much wider than the footprints of the mineralisation that have been encountered in the Whitelaw corridor to the west (Figure 1), so it is not expected that this initial density of drilling is sufficient to discount the presence of significant gold mineralisation within these traverses.

Most of the holes drilled reached deeply-weathered bedrock at depths between 50 and 100m, confirming the feasibility of exploring this area. The following characteristics were observed:

  • The weathered bedrock is consistent with that encountered throughout the region. The weathered sandstone and siltstone rock types included scattered intervals with abundant vein quartz (gravity targets 1, 2 and 4) (Figure 3) and pyrite (gravity target 2) further enhancing general prospectivity for proximal gold mineralisation, and

  • Occasional weakly anomalous values of Au and As were reported, highlighted by 45 and 36 ppm As in gravity target 4.

FUTURE PROGRAM

The initial reconnaissance focussed on the western half of the Drummartin EL. Results will be further examined before targets for follow-up drilling are identified.

In the eastern half of the Drummartin Project, where existing gravity data is insufficient for confident target generation, and cover may be a little deeper than in the west, additional gravity surveys will be considered before scout drilling is attempted. This part of the EL lies to the north along strike of the Lockington gold mineralisation discussed above, and focuses on targets adjacent to the Redesdale Fault, thought to be genetically linked to the Fosterville gold deposit a little further (50km) to the south (Figure 1).

JORC 2012 Edition, Table 1 Checklist: RAB Drilling

RAB Sampling Techniques
and Data
Criteria
Explanation
Sampling techniques
Samples collected at cyclone at three-metre intervals

Recognised alluvial and colluvial cover is not sampled; basement material
samples collected in individual calico bags; chip trays collected by hand from
piles and bags(uncomposited)
Drilling techniques
80mm AC blade drill bit; three-metre (NQ) drill rods; light vehicle-mounted
drill rig; 200psi 185cfm compressor.

All holes are uncased

Penetration into basement to designed depth or extended if quartz and/or
sulphides are encountered.
Drill sample recovery
Shallow RAB drilling provides constant and adequate sample recovery due to
minimal effects of groundwater in project area.

Calico bag masses recorded by commercial laboratory

Geological control is maintained at the drill site at all times, to ensure drilling
and samplingstandards maintained.
Logging
Chip samples are geologically logged at three-metre intervals for lithology,
quartz veining at to a standard acceptable for subsequent interpretation for
use in estimation.

Logging aspects are qualitative with exception of quartz vein content which is
estimated semi-quantitatively

All logged intervals represent entire three-metre sample segregation
intervals
Sub-sampling techniques and
sample preparation

Three-metre samples were selected by cone splitter at drill site when
materials were dry, moist, or wet; duplicate samples were not taken due to
the reconnaissance nature of the drilling program.

Samples dispatched to a commercial laboratory (Catalyst have used ALS Pty
Ltd exclusively); samples dried and pulverised in entirety, with 25g aliquot
split for analysis (it was anticipated that laboratory repeat splits will
demonstrate acceptable reproducibility and hence accuracy for this
mineralisation)
Quality of assay data and
laboratory tests

Gold assay determined by ICPMS via aqua regia digestion (ALS code Au-TL43).
Experience has shown this method to be applicable for fine grained gold
population of the mineralisation due to the completion of digestion. There is
a technical constraint in that coarse-grained gold may not completely enter
solution resulting in some conservative assays.

Laboratory and client certified reference materials (1 x CRMs) inserted every
20 samples;demonstrate on-par or subtle biased-low assays.
Verification of sampling and
assaying

Data management procedures are under development. Data management
has been performed by an experienced individual and not by several
individuals.

Quoted significant assays and intervals have been verified by alternative
company personnel. External verification is not a company polity as internal
checks are considered by management as adequate.

There has been no drillhole twinning to verify results.

Drillhole sampling and geological data logged onto paper in preparation for
database data entry.

There have been no adjustments to data as provided by the commercial
assaylaboratory.
Location of data points
Drillhole collars surveyed by 12-channel GPS to MGA94 Zone 55 and AHD
estimated from terrain model created from publicly-available land survey
data

Collar locations to within an estimated precision of 5m at worst.

No drillholes were downhole surveyed. Drilling orientation established to
sub-vertical as was dictated bythe rigconfiguration.
RAB Sampling Techniques
and Data
Criteria
Explanation
Data spacing and distribution
Drillholes traverses consisted of 200-metre spaced holes. Where quartz and
arsenic were encountered, infill holes were drilled to 100-metre spacing.

Three-metre samples were collected at rig and assayed individually. For the
purpose of reporting, assays have been aggregated to reflect continuously
sampled zones of significant anomalism forgold.
Orientation of data in relation to
geological structure

Drillhole traverses are oriented approximately east-west. At the time of
writing it is unclear what the strike of mineralisation is – however due to the
exposure afforded at the Camel Pit, it is anticipated that mineralisaiton will
be between north-south and 30 degrees east-of-north. Drillholes were
vertical because of the reconnaissance nature of the holes.
Sample security
All samples are controlled by the responsible geologist and stored at an off-
site facility prior to despatch to laboratory.

Samples are transported directly to laboratory by a commercial
transportation contractor with chain-of-custody protocols in place.

Sample number receipt information from laboratory cross-referenced against
sample number dispatch information.
Audits or reviews
No processes or data used in developing the release of exploration results
have been subject to audit or review by non-company personnel or
contractors in order to reduce costs and timelines for reporting. Catalyst
Metals Limited currently reserves this process for release of Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimates.

Air Core Sampling Techniques
and Data
Criteria
Explanation
Sampling techniques • Samples collected at cyclone at one-metre intervals
• Cover sequence samples collected in buckets and arranged as piles on the
ground; basement material samples collected in individual numbered plastic
bags; chip trays collected by hand from piles and bags (uncomposited)
• Assay laboratory samples collected by hand from bags (no routine cover
sequence sampling) into calico sample bags to a mass of <3kg (composited to
three-metre intervals corresponding with drill rods).
• Cover sequence is understood to potentially contain alluvial gold, and thus
cover samples are occasionallysubmitted for assay.
Drilling techniques • Three-inch diameter AC blade drill bit; three-metre RC drill rods; truck-
mounted drill rig; 300psi 700cfm compressor.
• All holes are uncased
• Penetration into basement to depth of bit refusal againstquartz or fresh rock.
Drill sample recovery • AC drilling provides a high variability in sample recovery, due to low pressures
of equipment and common groundwater effects.
• Sample water content assessed by rig geologist as being dry/moist/wet
• Calico bag masses recorded by commercial laboratory
• Geological control is maintained at the drill site at all times, to ensure drilling
and samplingstandards maintained.
Logging • Chip samples are geologically logged at 1m intervals for lithology, alteration,
quartz veining and to a standard acceptable for subsequent interpretation for
use in estimation.
• Logging aspects are qualitative with exception of quartz vein content which is
estimated semi-quantitatively
• All logged intervals represent entire one-metre sample segregation intervals
Sub-sampling techniques and
sample preparation
• Three metre samples selected (composited) by hand-grab at drill site when
materials were dry, moist, or wet; duplicate samples taken approximately
every 30 samples (one per drillhole).
• Samples dispatched to commercial laboratory (Catalyst have used ALS Pty Ltd
exclusively); samples dried and pulverised in entirety, with 25g aliquot split for
analysis (laboratory repeat splits historically demonstrate acceptable
reproducibility and hence accuracy for this mineralisation)
• Analysis of duplicate samples collected at the drill site provided acceptable
confidence that sampling was appropriate for the level for the intended (non-
resource estimation)use of the assaydata.
Quality of assay data and
laboratory tests
• Gold assay determined by ICPMS via aqua regia digestion (ALS code Au-TL43).
Experience has shown this method to be applicable for fine grained gold
population of the mineralisation due to the completion of digestion. There is a
technical constraint in that coarse-grained gold may not completely enter
solution resultingin conservative assay.
Verification of sampling and
assaying
• Data management procedures are under development. Data management
has been performed by an experienced individual and not by several

• There has been no verification of significant intersections by independent or
alternative company personnel.
• There has been no drillhole twinning to verify results.
• Drillhole sampling and geological data logged onto paper in preparation for
database data entry.
• There have been no adjustments to data as provided by the commercial assay

Air Core Sampling Techniques
and Data
Criteria
Explanation
Location of data points • Where available, drillhole location coordinates are measured using differential
GPS. In general, drillhole collars surveyed by 12-channel GPS to MGA94 Zone
55 and AHD estimated from terrain model created from publicly-available land
survey data
• Collar locations to within an estimated precision of 5m at worst.
• No drillholes were downhole surveyed. Drilling orientation established prior
to collaringwith clinometer and compass.
Data spacing and distribution • A 100-metre hole spacing, it is not of sufficient density to allow the estimation
of a mineral resource.
• One-metre samples were composited to three-metre samples for the purpose
of submission to the laboratory. For the purpose of reporting, assays have
been aggregated to reflect continuously sampled zones of significant
anomalism forgold.
Orientation of data in relation to
geological structure
• Drillhole sections are aligned along established municipal roads. In general,
holes were vertical because of the reconnaissance nature of the holes.
Sample security • All samples are controlled by the responsible geologist and stored in secured
facility prior to despatch to laboratory.
• Samples are transported directly to laboratory by a commercial transportation
contractor with chain-of-custody protocols in place.
• Sample number receipt information from laboratory cross-referenced and
rationalised against sample number dispatch information.
Audits or reviews • No processes or data used in developing the release of exploration results
have been subject to audit or review by non-company personnel or
contractors so as to reduce costs and timelines for reporting. Catalyst Metals
Limited currently reserves this process for release of Mineral Resource and
Ore Reserve estimates.

Criteria
Explanation
Mineral tenement and land
tenure status
• The Drummartin Gold Project is within EL6507 in the vicinity of Gunbower
Victoria, 100% owned by Kite Operations Pty Ltd
• Exploration activities were confined to road-side easements.
Exploration done by other
parties
• None in the area drilled
Geology • Gold-arsenic bearing narrow veins in Ordovician sandstone in the vicinity of a
regional-scale anticline.
• Deposit assessed as being northern extension of the Fosterville deposit in the
vicinity of the Drummartin and Redesdale listric faults, with potential for post-
mineralisation influence/redistribution by proximal granitic intrusion.
• Potential for some supergenegold enrichment inpaleo-weathering profile.
Drillhole Information • Appendix 1, Table 2a: Collar location coordinates, downhole depths, azimuths,
declinations
• Appendix 1, Table 2b: Downhole intervals of mineralisation, gold grade of
intervals
Data aggregation methods • AC drillhole samples were composited to three metres by default, however
the presence of quartz and/or sulphide triggers the change to one-metre
sample intervals.
• No top-cutting applied to assay data
• Zones of significance identified as those with assays in excess of 0.4g/t and
internal dilution of two consecutive assays or less.
• Reported zones are continuous, with no sample or assay gaps.
• Maximum gold values are tabulated for holes where no significant
intersections were returned.
Relationship between
mineralisation widths and
intercept lengths
• The strike of mineralisation is expected to be notionally north-south, where
roadside traverses were notionally east-west.
• The dip of mineralisation is expected to be sub-vertical and sub-parallel with
bedding as was the case in the Bendigo Goldfield.
• AC drillholes are vertical.
• Due to the complexity of slate belt gold mineralisation, the true width of
mineralisation has not been resolved. As such, significant mineralised
intersections have been reported as downhole intervals.
Diagrams • Figure 3 shows the regional locations of investigation – each of which
containinga singular roadside traverse of air core drillholes
Balanced reporting • All drilling inclusive of holes which did not contain significant intersections are
included in Tables 2a and 2b.
