Daniel Tuffin, Executive Technical Director, commented:

“Cavalier has now completed its second drill campaign of 28 holes for a total of 2,381m at the Crawford Gold Project. The program was planned to further investigate the southern sub-vertical and northern fresh rock mineralised structures discovered in our maiden campaign and test nearresource exploration targets resulting from the drone magnetics survey over the extended Crawford corridor.

Analysis of the high-definition drone survey specifically highlighted the northern fresh rock ‘Miranda’ target, which could represent a deeper source for mineralisation in the form of a major structure.

Excitingly, drilling also provided metallurgical samples to allow the Company to begin coarse crush leach test work as part of our ongoing investigation into the potential to mill oxide material at Crawford via heap leaching methods.

All samples have been submitted for assay. The Company will update the market on any material results. Updated geological modelling of the Crawford resource will commence once all assay results have been received.”

Targeted Drone Magnetic Surveys at Crawford and Gambier Lass North:

Drone magnetic surveys were carried out over specific corridors of the Crawford and Gambier Lass North gold projects in order to identify additional areas worthy of drill-testing along strike of known mineralisation.

Previous historic geophysical data from the Crawford area identified a lensoidal magnetic feature which is most pronounced to the southeast of Crawford and which extends to the northwest to northnorthwest for over 20km. The source of this anomaly is unknown, as it is completely obscured by Cenozoic (and Quaternary) cover. It is likely to represent a sheared antiformal hinge zone juxtaposing lower mafic dominated greenstone units against the Pig Well Graben sequence. Based on their geophysical response, these units may correspond to the same units exposed to the west in the Sunday and Mount Stewart areas and probably represent diorite.

Such areas located in the vicinity of linear broadly NW-trending anomalies are considered to be the most prospective areas within the Pig Well Graben. A coincidence of these structural corridors with known gold mineralisation is apparent and represents an important exploration criterion.

Exploration continues to focus on the historic areas of gold anomalism defined in previous work and across two broad styles of gold mineralisation represented in the area, of priority being laterite or sub-laterite hosted gold mineralisation, coincident with structurally controlled bedrock hosted mineralisation (orogenic gold). Examples of this include historic prospects Helena, Christy, Eva, and Crawford itself.

The second style is transported gold associated with Quaternary alluvial channels. Examples of this potentially include the Dingo Well, Anomaly 8 and Crawford West targets.

Geophysical data collected from the recent drone survey has helped refine focus the on new areas for further exploration. Analysis of the drone survey further highlighted the northern fresh rock ‘Miranda’ target, which could represent a deeper source for mineralisation in the form of a major structure.

Overall, the drone magnetic survey conducted at Crawford has demonstrated a robust broadly NWtrending magnetic feature (Crawford structural trend) which appears broken up in places along its strike length by several second-order structures. The main mineralisation identified at Crawford sits in an area of broadly lower magnetic response, just on the edge of the magnetic high which defines the trend.

This observation is fairly typical of many gold deposits within the Eastern Goldfields, and targeting for the exploration drilling conducted in the Crawford area was based on identifying areas showing similar magnetic response. Such areas are apparent at either end of the trend, particularly where the trend is cut by second-order structures which have a north-south orientation. An area to the south, in the vicinity of the Iron Tank prospect and an area to the north in the vicinity of the Eva prospect, which were identified in prior exploration during the 1990s, are exciting targets. In both locations there is a better probability of identifying primary orogenic gold mineralisation associated with the Crawford structural trend.

The drone survey conducted at the Gambier Lass North project did not identify a similar linear anomaly to that identified at Crawford. Overall, the magnetic response is less easy to interpret and while several second-order structural features are present, there appears to be no overall control to the distribution of known gold mineralisation in the Gambier Lass area. Further work will be undertaken on the data to determine the nature of the second-order controls and whether these are systematically developed such that they could be used for targeting future drilling.

Recent Geological Interpretation:

Five domains were modelled in 2022 resulting from the interpretation of a combination of historic holes and results from the Company’s maiden drill campaign. Domains 1 to 4 are oxide domains modelled as flat lying supergene zones within the oxidised zone. The discovery of Domain 5 was modelled as a sub-vertical mineralised zone based on a series of holes that indicate a vertical structure rather than a flat lying zone. This zone required additional drilling to confirm the orientation and extent. See Figure 2 below.

Solid mineralised shapes in the oxide zone were interpreted based on gold grades. A nominal grade of 0.3g/t was used to delineate the shapes. However, some lower grades were included to ensure continuity of the generally horizontal mineralisation.

Mineralisation was modelled as a series of supergene layers within the oxidised zone. Thicker zones of mineralisation are found towards the base of oxidation, sitting on and mimicking the shape of the top of fresh rock. Mineralisation has a gentle plunge towards the southeast as the weathering profile deepens in this direction. There is generally a depletion of gold in the upper oxidised zone, but there are some smaller, thinner zones present.

There was significantly less data in the discovered ‘Northern Fresh Zone’ (now named the ‘Miranda’ target). A series of narrow lodes dipping 30° towards 230° were interpreted during the modelling process.

Due to the lack of data for the Miranda target, the modelling was not constrained within a solid domain, and it is important to note that it was therefore not included as part of the last MRE update in 2022. See Figure 3 below.

==> picture [503 x 260] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3: Current Crawford Resource Model Showing JORC Classifications (Red = Indicated, Green = Inferred) Along With Northern Fresh Zone and Infill Drilling Area

A search ellipse with adequately constrained search dimensions was used to estimate grade. As such, all fresh rock mineralisation has been categorised as inferred due to the lower confidence in the geological interpretation and the relative paucity of assay data.

Reverse Circulation Drilling at the Crawford Gold Project:

Based on a combination of 2022 modelling and magnetic drone survey results, this latest drill campaign at the Crawford Gold Project was designed to achieve three goals:

  1. To further investigate the southern sub-vertical and northern fresh rock mineralised structures discovered in our maiden campaign,

  2. Focus on near-resource exploration of new targets resulting from the drone magnetics survey, over the extended Crawford corridor, and

  3. Provide samples for metallurgical coarse heap leach test work.

Unfortunately, heavy rains during the program impacted upon drill testing a portion of the southern extensional area of the resource. However, the Company remains excited with regards to gaining further understanding of both the recent southern sub-vertical and Miranda discoveries and the potential to unearth further discoveries based on the targets generated from the drone surveys.

Coarse Leach Test Work:

The Company has engaged ALS Laboratories, under the supervision of heap leach experts Kappes, Cassiday & Associates Australia (' KCAA '), to begin coarse bottle roll testing on samples taken from the latest drill campaign as part of the initial phase 1 of metallurgical coarse crush leach test work programming currently underway.

This initial phase is the first step in investigating the potential to mine and mill the Crawford Gold Project as an owner-operated heap leach operation.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as downhole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments,
etc). These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample
representivity
and
the
appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that
are Material to the Public Report.
• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples
from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more
explanation may be required, such as where there
is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
Sampling of Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes was
comprised of one metre (1m) cone split samples, as
drilled. Approximately 3.0kg of sample was collected over
each sampled interval. Sampling techniques are
considered to be in line with the standard industry
practice and are considered to be representative.
Cavalier Resources RC chip samples are crushed, dried
and pulverised to a nominal 90% passing 75µm to
produce a 50g sub sample for analysis by FA/AAS.
All drill holes are accurately located and referenced with
grid coordinates recorded in the standard MGA94
Zone51 grid system. Samples are collected using a
standard face hammer, they are split/bagged/logged at
the drill site. Samples were Fire Assayed (50-gram
charge) for Au only.
Only the drill results contained in the table of significant
intersections are considered in this document. All
samples and drilling procedures are carried out in
accordance with Cavalier Resources sampling and
QAQC procedures as per industry standard.
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc)
and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or
other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc).
Surface drilling was completed by standard RC drilling
techniques. RC drilling used a face-sampling hammer
over a 94mm diameter drill hole with samples collected
using a cone splitter for 1m composites.
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias may
have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
Sample recovery is measured and monitored by the drill
contractor and Cavalier representatives, where bag
volume is visually estimated and recorded as a
percentage. Sample recovery was generally very good.
The volume of sample collected for assay is considered
to represent a composite sample. Sample recovery is
maximized by using best-practice drill techniques,
whereby the hammer is pulled back at the completion of
each metre and the entire 1m sample is blown back
through the rod string. Known standards are inserted at
constant intervals at a rate of four per one hundred
samples.
Measures were taken to suppress groundwater and
minimize moisture within samples. Samples were
collected and stored in numbered calico bags and
removed from the field daily.
No relationship was observed between sample recovery
and grade.

Logging • Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature.
Logging of RC chips records lithology, mineralogy,
texture, mineralisation, weathering, alteration, veining,
grid coordinates, sample interval and depth. Data is
physically and electronically logged and stored. The level
of logging detail is considered appropriate for exploration
drilling. Logging of geology and colour are interpretative
and qualitative, whereas logging of mineral percentage is
quantitative. Chips from all RC holes are stored in chip
trays for future reference.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter,

duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain
size of the material being sampled.
See Sampling techniques in the above section.
The sample collection methodology is considered
appropriate for RC drilling and is within today’s standard
industry practice. Split one metre sample (1m) results are
regarded as reliable and representative. RC samples are
split with cone splitter at one metre intervals as drilled.
Analysis was conducted by ALS Minerals Laboratories in
Kalgoorlie. At the laboratory samples are dried, crushed
and pulverised until the sample is homogeneous.
Analysis technique for gold (only) was a Fire Assay 50-
gram charge AAS finish (Lab method Au-AA26).
Most samples were collected dry; on occasion ground
water was encountered and a minimal number of
samples were collected wet. It was however not
considered by Cavalier to be of sufficient concentration to
affect the sampling process. Field standards were
submitted with the sample batch, the assay laboratory
(ALS) also included their own internal checks and
balances
consisting
of
repeats
and
standards;
repeatability and standard results were within acceptable
limits.
No
issues
have
been
identified
with
sample
representatively.
The sample size is
considered
appropriate for this type of mineralisation style.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or total.
• For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld
XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in
determining the analysis including instrument make
and model, reading times, calibrations factors
applied and their derivation, etc.
• Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g.
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy
(i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been
established.
Geochemical analysis of RC chip samples was
conducted by ALS Minerals in Kalgoorlie. Sample
preparation included drying the samples (105°C) and
pulverising to 85% passing 75µm. Samples were then
riffle split to secure a sample charge of 50 grams.
Analysis was via Fire Assay with AAS finish. Only gold
analysis was conducted (ppm detection). The analytical
process and the level of detection are considered
appropriate for this stage of exploration.
Fire assay is regarded as a complete digest technique.
No geophysical tools were used to determine any
element concentrations.
Internal laboratory quality control procedures have been
adopted. Certified reference material in the form of
standards and duplicates are periodically imbedded in the
sample batch by Cavalier at a ratio of 1:15

holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches,
mine workings and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
• Specification of the grid system used.
• Quality and adequacy of topographic control
Drill hole collars were located and recorded in the field
using a handheld GPS with a three metre or better
accuracy. The grid coordinate system utilised is GDA94
Zone51. Hole locations were visually checked on ground
and against historic plans for spatial verification. No
topographic control (i.e., RL) was required, a nominal
field RL of 380 to 385m is assumed for the ground surface
Data spacing
and distribution
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
• Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological and
grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource
and
Ore
Reserve
estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.
• Whether sample compositing has been applied.
The drill hole spacing is project specific; the RC drilling
patterns employed were dependent on previous drilling
and geological interpretation. The sample spacing is
considered close enough to identify significant zones of
gold mineralisation. The drill program is a follow
up/ongoing exploration exercise that was designed to
identify areas of geological interest and extensions to
known mineralisation at the Crawford deposit. Closer
spaced drilling on surrounding cross sections may be
required to further delineate the extent, size and
geometry of some areas within the identified zones of
gold mineralisation.
Drill spacing and drill technique is sufficient to establish
the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate
for the mineral resources and ore reserve estimation
procedures and classifications applied, however the
mineralised system remains open and additional infill
drilling is required to close off and confirm its full extent,
particularly at depth.
Samples were taken at 1m intervals, and no sample
compositing was applied.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
• If the relationship between the drilling orientation
and the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.
Drilling within the central Crawford project area was
vertical (-90 degrees), to intersect the generally flat lying
mineralisation. No relationship between mineralised
structure and drilling orientation has biased the sample.
Extensional drilling of areas to the north and south of the
Central Crawford project area was completed at a dip of
-60 degrees, and azimuth of 060 degrees. No relationship
between mineralised structure and drilling orientation has
biased the sampling in these areas.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sample security • The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples are prepared on site under supervision of
Cavalier geological staff. Samples are selected, bagged
into tied numbered calico bags then grouped securely
and collected by a dedicated freight company directly to
the laboratory. Sample submissions are documented via
laboratory tracking systems and assays are returned via
email
Audits or
reviews
• The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
Sampling methodologies and assay techniques used in
this drilling program are considered to be mineral
exploration industry standard and any audits or reviews
are not considered necessary at this early exploration
stage. No audits or reviews have been conducted at this
stage apart from internal reviews and field quality control.

Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status
• Type, reference name/number, location and
ownership including agreements or material issues
with
third
parties
such
as
joint
ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or national
park and environmental settings.
• The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the area.
The Crawford Deposit lies on M37/1202 which is
registered to Cavalier Resources Ltd.
The tenement has been granted and there are no known
encumbrances or impediments associated with the
tenement.
Other
associated
tenements
include
P37/8901,
P37/9475,
P37/9476,
P37/9447,
P37/9448
and
P37/9449.
A miscellaneous licence L37/251 has been applied for, to
provide direct access to the Laverton-Leonora Road.
No known impediment exists to obtaining a license to
operate and the tenements are all in good standing.
Exploration
done by other
parties
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.
Previous exploration was completed by Goldfields
Exploration, Newcrest, Golden State Resources, Roman
Kings, Kingwest Resources and Specrez Resources.
Drilling by previous explorers resulted in the identification
and delineation of gold mineralisation associated with
broad zones of intense alteration.
Historic work is of a generally good standard and has
been used in the Mineral Resource Estimate for
Crawford.
Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The Crawford Deposit is hosted in an intensely altered
(sericite‐fuchsite‐silica‐carbonate‐sulphide) shear zone
within the eastern boundary of the Keith-Kilkenny
Tectonic Zone (KKTZ).
Gold mineralisation is disseminated in the vicinity of the
shears and localized within them. Quartz is present as
fine
veins,
associated
with
pyrite,
gold,
silver,
arsenopyrite and minor scheelite in the shear zone.
Within the weathered zone there has been remobilisation
and depletion of gold resulting in the formation of
horizontal
supergene
zones
of
elevated
gold

mineralisation. This zone is focussed close to the
boundary between fresh and oxidised rock.
Drillhole
Information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information for all
Material drill holes:
• easting and northing of the drill hole collar
• elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above
sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
• dip and azimuth of the hole
• down hole length and intercept depth
• hole length
• If the exclusion of this information is justified on
the basis that the information is not Material and
this
exclusion
does
not
detract
from
the
understanding of the report, the Competent Person
should clearly explain why this is the case.
The location of all drillholes is presented as part of the
significant intersection table in the body of this report.
Significant down hole gold intersections are reported in
the table of intersections. All hole depths refer to down
hole depth in metres. All hole collars are GDA94 Zone51
positioned. Elevation is a nominal estimate. Drill holes are
measured from the collar of the hole to the bottom of the
hole.
Data
aggregation
methods
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum
grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and
cut-off grades are usually Material and should be
stated.
• Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be shown in
detail.
• The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
All significant intercepts have been length weighted with
a minimum Au grade of 0.5ppm. No high grade cut off has
been applied. Intercepts are aggregated with minimum
width of 1m and maximum width of 2m for internal
dilution.
There are no metal equivalents reported in this release.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
• These relationships are particularly important
when reporting exploration results
• If the geometry of the Mineralisation with respect
to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be
reported
• If it is not known and only the down hole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement to
this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not
known’).
Generally, the mineralised intervals are close to the true
width, especially so for vertical holes within the oxide
zone.
Oxide mineralisation at Crawford is modelled as
horizontal.
Diagrams • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
Appropriate diagrams and figures are included in this
report.
Balanced
reporting
• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration
Results is not practicable, representative reporting
of both low and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.
The exploration results have been reported in a manner
that presents them in a balanced context without bias.

Crawford
deposit.
This
will
primarily
focus
on
understanding the key geological relationships and
critical continuity directions to target depth extensions.
