ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

NEW HIGH-GRADE GOLD DISCOVERY AT CUNNEENS ON FOUR EAGLES GOLD PROJECT

  • High grade gold mineralisation intersected at Cunneens Prospect at Four Eagles Gold Project5.0m @ 13.1g/t Au including 3.0m @ 21.4g/t Au

  • 1.0m @ 5.4g/t Au

  • RC Blade/Hammer drilling shows high grade gold mineralisation at south end of Tomorrow Zone at Tandarra Gold Project

  • 3.0m @ 44.6g/t including 1.0m @ 131g/t Au

  • 6.0m @ 14.3g/t Au from within a broader zone of 24.0m @ 4.2g/t Au

  • 8.0m @ 3.6g/t Au including 1.0m @ 22.1g/t Au

  • 10.0m @ 2.7g/t Au including 1.0m @ 10.3g/t Au

  • 5.0m @ 4.7g/t Au

  • Diamond drilling continues on Tomorrow Zone


Catalyst Metals Limited ( Catalyst or the Company ) (ASX: CYL ) is pleased to announce a new discovery of high-grade gold mineralisation at the Cunneens Prospect at the Four Eagles Gold Project with gold values up to 49.2g/t Au intersected in air core drilling. This prospect was targeted using gravity geophysics and represents an increase in size of the high-grade gold footprint at Four Eagles which is now potentially 9 kilometres long by 5 kilometres wide. The Cunneens Prospect appears to lie along the Eagle 1 structure which has a potential strike length of 7 kilometres.

The Cunneens Prospect within the Eagle 1 trend is at least 1.7 kilometres long but to date has only been drilled on three traverses. Each traverse contains intersections of at least 1g/t Au but the intersection of 3.0 metres @ 21.4g/t Au from 125 metres in FE915 shows that high grade gold is present at this new discovery. Interestingly, the Cunneens Prospect lies at the same distance from the Whitelaw Fault as does the Bendigo Goldfield which produced 22 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 15g/t Au.

At the Tandarra Joint Venture, Catalyst is also pleased to announce that drilling at the southern end of the Tomorrow Structure has intersected further high grade gold zones with more evidence of “stacking” of shallow plunging gold zones similar to those observed at both Fosterville, where the Swan Zone contains reserves and resources of 2.34 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 49.6g/t Au (See Kirkland Lake Gold ASX announcement of 22 February 2019) and Bendigo.

The Four Eagles and Tandarra Gold Projects are situated along the Whitelaw Fault Corridor which is considered to be a major structural control of gold mineralisation north of Bendigo.

Catalyst manages the entire Whitelaw Gold Belt and has interests in nine Exploration Licences and two Retention Licences which extend for 75 kilometres along the Whitelaw and Tandarra Faults north of Bendigo and Fosterville in Victoria (Figure 1)

The Tandarra Gold Project comprises Retention Licence RL006660, which is owned in joint venture by Catalyst and Navarre Minerals Limited under a formal joint venture agreement.

Best intersections returned from the Tandarra Gold Project were:

  • 3.0 metres @ 44.6g/t Au from 111 metres downhole in RCT233 including 1.0 metre @ 131 g/t Au

  • 6.0 metres @ 14.3g/t Au from 108 metres downhole in RCT249 within a broader zone of 24.0 metres @ 4.2g/t Au

  • 8.0 metres @ 3.6g/t Au including 1.0 metre @ 22.1g/t Au from 149 metres in RCT249

  • 10.0 metres @ 2.7g/t Au from 79 metres down hole including 1.0 metre @ 10.3g/t Au in RCT252

  • 6.0 metres @ 2.6g/t Au from 34 metres downhole in RCT248

  • 5.0 metres @ 4.7g/t Au from 84 metres downhole in ACT338

These intersections have extended the potential strike length of the Tomorrow Zone to the south and have also confirmed stacked zones of mineralisation as in drillhole RCT249 which contains at least three significant gold zones.

FOUR EAGLES JOINT VENTURE (RL006422, EL5508, EL5295, EL006887, EL006859) (CATALYST 50%)

Catalyst holds a 50% interest in the Four Eagles Gold Project with the other 50% held by Gold Exploration Victoria Pty Ltd ( GEV ) (a wholly owned subsidiary of Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd). Exploration is jointly funded by Catalyst and GEV (Figure 1).

Retention Licence (RL) 006422 flanked by the remaining ELs comprises the Four Eagles Gold Project and covers an envelope of gold mineralisation about 6 kilometres long and 2.5 kilometres wide including three prospects which have produced high grade gold mineralisation (Hayanmi, Boyd’s Dam and Pickles (formerly Discovery). This footprint may now be much larger with the intersection of high-grade gold mineralisation at Cunneens to the south-west.

AIR CORE DRILLING: CUNNEENS PROSPECT

Air core drilling at the Cunneens Prospect was completed with the drilling of 8 holes on two traverses for a total of 987 metres. The programme was designed to provide further information along the 1.7 kilometre trend which showed gold assays up to 3.1 g/t Au over narrow widths. The Cunneens Prospect was initially targeted as Target 3 from a detailed ground gravity survey (Figure 2). Of the eight holes drilled, four contained anomalous arsenic geochemistry and three holes contained significant gold values:

  • 5.0m @ 13.1g/t Au including 3.0m @ 21.4g/t Au from 124 metres in FE915

  • 1.0m @ 5.4g/t Au from 94 metres in FE908

  • 3.0m @ 0.26g/t Au from 96 metres in FE910

As shown on Figure 3, the Cunneens Prospect is at a very early stage of exploration and considerably more air core drilling will be required to define any potential gold mineralisation.

Mr Bruce Kay, Catalyst’s Technical Director, stated, “It is exciting to get high grade gold mineralisation at such an early stage in a greenfield exploration area. Indications from gravity data and the presence of gold in air core drilling at Gravity Target 4 provide encouragement that the Eagle 1 structure may be 7 kilometres long”.

All of the 2019 assays quoted are from 25 gram samples using aqua regia digest and ICPMS and a bulk cyanide leach assay on 2 kilogram samples will be carried out on all anomalous samples to confirm the results. These two assay methods have tended to show good correlation in the past on other prospects at Four Eagles.

Full location data on the Air Core holes is shown on Table 1 and a Summary of Sampling Techniques and Reporting of Exploration Results according to the JORC Code 2012 Edition are tabulated in Appendix 1. Maximum gold values in each hole are tabulated in Appendix 1.

TANDARRA JOINT VENTURE GOLD PROJECT (RL006660) (CATALYST 51%)

Catalyst (through its 100%-owned subsidiary Kite Operations Pty Ltd (Kite)) earned a 51% interest in the Tandarra Gold Project by the expenditure of $3.0 million on exploration (completed in June 2018) whilst Navarre Minerals Limited retains a 49% interest. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, exploration will continue to be managed by Catalyst and will be jointly funded by Catalyst and Navarre.

The Tandarra Gold Project is situated along the Whitelaw Fault Corridor which is considered to be a major structural control of gold mineralisation north of Bendigo. It is located about 40 kilometres north-northwest of Bendigo, west of the settlement of Dingee (Figure 1).

The 2019 Tandarra exploration campaign commenced late in the March 2019 Quarter and comprises a 10,000m Aircore (AC), Reverse Circulation (RC) and diamond drilling program including:

  1. Step-out and reconnaissance AC drilling targeting the southern and northern extensions of the Macnaughtan and Tomorrow gold mineralisation trends;

  2. RC drilling testing the southern and northern extensions of the Tomorrow prospect; and

  3. Diamond drill testing for “stacked” quartz reef positions at depth on the Tomorrow Prospect

RC AND AIR CORE DRILLING: TOMORROW ZONE

The 2019 RC drilling programme has been completed with the drilling of 24 holes for a total of 3,615 metres. RC drilling was designed to test the northern and southern extensions of the Tomorrow Gold Zone as shown on Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7. Although the air core drilling programme was focussed on the Macnaughtans zone and regional targets, several holes complemented the RC programme on the Tomorrow Zone.

The programme has been successful in extending strike length of the Tomorrow Zone to the south by about 300 metres with significant gold intersections recorded in two holes:

  • 3.0 metres @ 44.6g/t Au including 1.0 metre @ 131g/t Au from 111 metres in RCT233

  • 5.0 metres @ 4.7g/t Au from 84 metres in ACT338

The RC drilling has also confirmed multiple zones or vertical “stacking” of gold mineralisation intersected previously in diamond hole DDT018, with one hole (RCT249) intersecting four separate zones of gold:

  • 1.0 metres @ 11.4g/t Au from 33 metres in RCT249

  • 24.0 metres @ 4.2g/t Au including 6.0 metres @ 14.3g/t Au from 100 metres in RCT249

  • 8.0 metres @ 3.6g/t Au including 1.0 metre @ 22.1g/t Au from 149 metres in RCT249

  • 6.0 metres @ 2.7g/t Au including 1.0 metre @ 14.0g/t Au from 166 metres in RCT249

The potential of new shoots in the vicinity of DDT018 was also supported by other RC intersections in this area:

  • 10.0 metres @ 2.7g/t Au including 1.0 metre @ 10.3g/t Au from 79 metres in RCT252

  • 6.0 metres @ 2.6g/t Au from 34 metres in RCT248

  • 1.0 metre @ 5.3g/t Au from 66 metres in RCT247

At the northern end of the Tomorrow Zone, drill hole RCT 246 (1.0 metre @ 14.3g/t Au from 144 metres ) may have intersected the upper projection of the deeper zone of gold mineralisation present in DDT018 (2.0 metres @ 17.4g/t Au) . This is illustrated on the longitudinal projection in Figure 6.

Other than the intersection in RCT233, all of the 2019 assays quoted above are from 25 gram samples using aqua regia digest and ICPMS. Bulk cyanide leach assay on 2 kilogram samples will be carried out on all anomalous samples to confirm the results.

Full location data on the RC Blade and air core holes are shown in Appendix 2 on Tables 2a and 2b and a Summary of Sampling Techniques and Reporting of Exploration Results according to the JORC Code 2012 Edition are also tabulated in Appendix 2. Previous intersections shown on Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7 have been reported under the 2004 JORC Code. Maximum gold values in each hole are tabulated in Tables 2c and 2d of Appendix 2.

AIR CORE DRILLING AT MACNAUGHTANS PROSPECT AND REGIONAL TANDARRA GRAVITY TARGETS

The AC drilling program tested the southern extension of the Macnaughtan prospect as well as testing regional gravity targets and the northern extension of the Tomorrow Trend (Figure 4). In total, 36 AC holes for 4,563m were drilled (Tables 2a & 2b). The AC drilling program was concluded to coincide with the sowing of grain crops in May 2019.

The best AC result came from the southern end of the Macnaughtan gold trend where two one-metre samples in ACT333 assayed 3.93g/t Au and 5.07g/t Au . These intersections are encouraging at this early stage of exploration and justify further air core drilling along the Macnaughtan Trend which has considerable untested potential to the north because previous drilling is sparse on traverses that are nominally 500 metres apart.

Other regional AC holes in the recently completed program produced low-level anomalous gold values (see Table 2b).

All AC results contained in this release are derived from 25 gram aqua regia assays except ACT331 which was bulk leached. Because AC samples are often wet and grab sampled at 3 metre intervals, assays should be treated cautiously until one metre re-samples and bulk cyanide leach assays on 2 kilogram samples have been completed.

Overall the 2019 AC and RC drilling programs have highlighted the gold potential of the southern extensions of the Tomorrow and Macnaughtan trends which are untested over the next one kilometre of strike length. Further AC drilling will be necessary on the 1 kilometre of strike of the Macnaughtan trend, north of ACT333.

DIAMOND DRILLING AT TOMORROW GOLD ZONE

A four hole (DDT019 to DDT022) diamond drilling program commenced at the Tomorrow prospect in mid-May 2019 with the objective of testing the potential for “stacked” zones of gold mineralisation to the north and south of DDT018 as shown on Figure 6 . Results from this diamond drilling are expected to become available in August 2019.

Aircore 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 occasionally submitted for assay.

Where there is evidence for mineralisation (quartz and/or sulphides) the calico
sample bagginginterval will be reduced to one-metre intervals
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 individuals.

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
laboratory.
Aircore 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
Drillholes designed on sections between 70 and 100m spacing. Holes within
sections generally 25-metre spacings.

One-metre samples were composited to three-metre samples for the purpose of
submission to the laboratory (apart from instances where there is evidence for
mineralisation in which case sampling assumes one-metre intervals. 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 approximately 0 degrees from the strike of
mineralisation. 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 to
reduce costs and timelines for reporting. Catalyst Metals Limited currently
reserves thisprocess for release of Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates.
Reporting of Exploration Results
Criteria
Explanation
Mineral tenement and land tenure
status
• The Four Eagles Project is within RL6422 in the vicinity of Mitiamo Victoria, 50%
owned by Catalyst Metals Ltd and 50% owned by Gold Exploration (Victoria) Pty
Ltd (GEV)
• Retention Licence RL6422 was granted in March 2018 for a period of ten years.
• Exploration activities were confined to freehold farmland
• As of 2015, activities are funded with GEV through a farm-in agreement but are
now shared equally between Catalyst Metals wholly owned subsidiary, Kite Gold
Pty Ltd and GEV.
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 Bendigo Goldfield, with
potential for post-mineralisation influence/redistribution by proximal granitic
intrusion.
• Potential for some supergene gold enrichment in paleo-weathering profile.
Reporting of Exploration Results
Criteria
Explanation
Drill hole Information • All information material to the understanding of the exploration results of all
last-phase drill holes are tabulated:
• Appendix 1, Table 1a: Collar location coordinates, downhole depths, azimuths,
declinations
• Appendix 1, Table 1b: Downhole intervals of significance, gold grade of
intervals; Au-TL43 using aqua regia leach and ICPMS.
Data aggregation methods • Data aggregation using downhole length-weighting
• No top-cutting applied to assay data
• Zones of significance identified as those with assays in excess of 0.4ppm Au and
internal dilution of two consecutive assays or less.
• Reported zones are continuous, with no sample or assay gaps.
• Holes without zones of significance are tabulated detailing the greatest assay
value achieved.
Relationship between mineralisation
widths and intercept lengths
• The strike of mineralisation is demonstrated to be generally north-south and
sub-parallel with grid.
• The dip of mineralisation is expected to be both east-dipping and west-dipping
as was the case in the Bendigo Goldfield.
• Drillholes were vertical because dip is unknown in reconnaissance areas.
• The dip of mineralisation has not been definitively proven, and 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 plan of recent drillhole collars including previous drillholes.
Balanced reporting • Figure 3 shows all new drilling inclusive of holes which did not encounter
significant mineralisation.
Other substantive exploration data • No other exploration results that have not previously been reported, are
material to this report.
Further work • Further Air Core drilling will be required to follow up on anomalous gold values
at Cunneens Prospect.

JORC Code 2012 Edition – Table 2, Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

RC Sampling Techniques and
Data
Criteria
Explanation
Sampling techniques • Samples from surface collected at cyclone at one-metre intervals with no sub-
sampling.
• All material collected in individual numbered plastic bags; chip trays collected by
hand from bags (uncomposited).
• Laboratory samples selected using Jones riffle splitter into calico sample bags to
a mass of >2kg (if sufficient sample is available) and <3kg.
• Cover sequence is understood to potentially contain alluvial gold, and thus
cover samples are occasionallysubmitted for assay.
Drilling techniques • Holes are initiated using 120mm AC drilling. This method provides reverse-
circulation face sampling of sufficiently soft material.
• On bit-refusal, a four-inch diameter RC hammer with 110mm button bit was
utilised to progress the hole to design depth or where groundwater inflows
compromise sample quality.
• All drilling utilises three or six metre RC drill rods; truck-mounted drill rig; 400psi
900cfm compressor and booster; auxiliary compressor where dictated by water
in-flows.
• Holes were routinely cased to basement depth with PVC.
Drill sample recovery • Where sample volumes at cyclone were unduly affected by groundwater, holes
are terminated (by inspection) where sample quality is compromised.
• Sample water content assessed by rig geologist as being dry or wet.
• Sample bags collected at the rig are weighed prior to sample splitting. Sample
weight is used to assess the splitting requirements (number of riffles required)
to deliver a sub-sample to the desired mass constraints (>2kg and <3kg). Calico
bag masses recorded by laboratory contractor.
• Geological control maintained at the drill site at all times, to ensure drilling and
sampling was to standard.
Logging • Chip samples are geologically logged at one-metre 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
• Lab submission samples collected as described – any mass reduction required
for assay purposes performed by laboratory contractor; consisting of drying and
riffle-splitting.
• 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).
Quality of assay data and laboratory
tests
• Gold assay determined by ICPMS via aqua regia digestion (ALS code Au-OG43).
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 a conservative assay.
• Laboratory and client certified reference materials (3 x standards) are
implemented every 30thsamples.
RC Sampling Techniques and
Data
Criteria
Explanation
Verification of sampling and assaying • Data management procedures are under development. Data management is
performed by an experienced individual and not by several individuals.
• There has been no verification of significant intersections by independent nor
alternative company personnel.
• Drill hole 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
laboratory.
Location of data points • All drill hole location coordinates are measured using differential 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 10mm horizontally and
20mm vertically.
• All drill holes are downhole surveyed. Drilling orientation established prior to
collaring with clinometer and compass.
Data spacing and distribution • RC drill holes within the main cluster of mineralisation are drilled on 25-metre
spaced sections.
• The sections consist of holes spaced at a nominal 25m interval.
• Drill holes in this program were designed to complement existing sections
where there were information gaps or where sections required step-out holes.
• This spacing is designed to be of a sufficient density to ultimately be included in
the estimation of a mineral resource.
• For the purpose of reporting, assays are aggregated to reflect continuously
sampled zones of significant anomalism for gold.
Orientation of data in relation to
geological structure
• Drill hole sections are aligned approximately 112 degrees clockwise from the
strike of mineralisation. Holes are generally inclined 60 degrees to the west to
provide cross-strike investigation within holes and to establish continuity of
sub-vertical mineralisation between 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
reserve 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 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 drill hole).

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 individuals.

There has been no verification of significant intersections by independent or
alternative company personnel.

There has been no drill hole twinning to verify results.

Drill hole 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
laboratory.
Air-core Sampling Techniques
and Data
Criteria
Explanation
Location of data points
Where available, drill hole location coordinates are measured using differential
GPS. In general, drill hole 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.

No drill holes were downhole surveyed. Drilling orientation established prior to
collaringwith clinometer and compass.
Data spacing and distribution
Air core drilling to the south of Macnaughtan was completed on three sections
spaced 180m and 280m. Spacing within sections was 100 metres.

The Air core drilling south of Tomorrow was on a 100m step-out section south of
RC drill coverage. The holes on this section were spaced nominally 50m.

A 100-metre hole spacing, it is not of sufficient density to allow 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 for
gold.
Orientation of data in relation to
geological structure

Drill hole sections are aligned approximately 112 degrees clockwise from the
strike of mineralisation. In general, holes were vertical because of the
reconnaissance nature of the drilling.
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 thisprocess for release of Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results - RC and Air Core Drilling

Reporting of Exploration Results
Criteria
Explanation
Mineral tenement and land tenure
status

The Tandarra Gold Project is located within RL006660 in the vicinity of Dingee
Victoria, owned in joint venture by Navarre Minerals Ltd (49%) and operator,
Catalyst Metals Ltd (51%).

The Retention Licence was approved on 2 November 2018 for a period of ten
years. It replaced EL4897.

Exploration activities were confined to free-hold farmland and road-side
easements.
Exploration done byotherparties
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 Bendigo Goldfield, with
potential for post-mineralisation influence/redistribution by proximal granitic
intrusion.

Potential for some supergenegold enrichment inpaleo-weathering profile.
Drill hole Information
Appendix 2 Tables 2a and 2c: Collar location coordinates, downhole depths,
azimuths, declinations.

Appendix 2, Tables 2b and 2d: Downhole intervals of reported gold grades.
Reporting of Exploration Results
Criteria
Explanation
Data aggregation methods
AC and RC drill hole data were not composited.

AC drill hole samples are composited to three metres in the first instance.
Subsequent resampling of anomalous composites is performed on a one-metre
sample interval basis.

No top-cutting applied to assay data.

Zones of significance identified as those with assays in excess of 0.5g/t and
internal dilution of two consecutive assays or less.

Reported zones are continuous, with no sample or assay gaps.
Relationship between mineralisation
widths and intercept lengths

The strike of mineralisation is demonstrated to be generally 22 degrees west of
grid north.

The dip of mineralisation is expected to be sub-vertical and sub-parallel with
bedding as was the case in the Bendigo Goldfield.

RC drill holes are orientated with a dip to the west to provide effective geometry
in the context of the eastern limb of an anticline.

AC reconnaissance drill holes 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
Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7 show position of key drill holes in plan and longitudinal
projection. Table 2a and 2c lists all hole collarpositions.
Balanced reporting
All drilling inclusive of holes which did not contain significant intersections are
included in Tables 2b and 2d.
Other substantive exploration data
No other exploration results that have not previously been reported, are
material to this report.
Further work
DDH drilling is continuing at Tandarra but should be completed in July 2019.
