Crawford Maiden Ore Reserve Exceeds 29koz of Gold

Corporate Highlights

  • The Crawford Gold Project Pre-Feasibilty Study (‘PFS’) is now complete

  • The PFS was constrained to the highly recoverable, low cost, oxidised portion of the Mineral Resource for application to heap leach processing

  • The resulting Maiden Ore Reserve is 1,002,000t @ 0.9g/t for 29,300oz of gold with a pre-CAPEX undiscounted cashflow of A$24.6M and an IRR of 130% using a gold price of A$2,900/oz

  • 18 month project life with payback within 13 months at a C1 AISC of A$1,777/oz

  • At A$3,300/oz gold price the Project returns a pre-CAPEX undiscounted cashflow of A$33.8M

  • There remains significant potential upside in increased revenues and growth due to the Resource remaining open

  • The Company will now progress with permitting work whilst seeking discussions with potential investment, mining and processing partners

Daniel Tuffin, Executive Technical Director, commented:

“The completion of the Crawford PFS marks a major milestone for both the project and Company, proving the viability of mining and processing of a gold deposit that until recently remained under explored and under developed.

The PFS focused on the oxidised portion of the Indicated Resource, which is highly recoverable and amenable to low-cost heap leach processing. This strategic approach has culminated in a Maiden Ore Reserve of 1Mt at 0.9g/t for 29,300oz of gold, underpinning a pre-CAPEX undiscounted cash flow of A$24.6 million based on a conservative gold price of A$2,900 per ounce.

The current upward trend in gold prices, coupled with the resource remaining open, positions the Company favorably for possible increase in revenue streams and sustained growth.

Our focus for Crawford now shifts to advancing with necessary application works and to actively seek out and engage with potential partners in investment, mining, and processing. Our commitment to becoming a self-funded explorer remains at the forefront of our endeavors, in line with our corporate strategy since listing 18 months ago.”

Summary:

Cavalier Resources Limited (ASX: CVR) ('Cavalier' or 'the Company') is pleased to announce the completion of the Crawford Pre-Feasibility Study (‘PFS’), targeting the mining and extraction of gold from the oxidised portion of the current Mineral Resource.

The PFS resulted in a Maiden Ore Reserve of 1,002,000 tonnes at 0.9g/t for 29,300 ounces of gold, with a promising pre-CAPEX undiscounted cash flow of A$24.6M based on a gold price of A$2,900/oz.

The Company is now moving forward with permitting and approvals work whilst seeking partnerships for investment, mining, and processing.

It aims to establish the Crawford Gold Project as a new gold mining hub and to become a self-funded explorer to further develop its mature gold assets near Leonora and the burgeoning Ella’s Rock greenfield lithium project located on the world class Forrestania lithium belt.

Crawford Gold Project Location:

The Crawford Gold Project sits centrally within the Company’s exploration and development projects and is situated just 20 kilometres east of the mining township of Leonora.

Maiden Ore Reserve Estimate:

The Ore Reserve estimate relates specifically to the conversion of Indicated Resources to Probable Ore Reserves only within the Crawford pit design and includes consideration of the modifying factors.

Table 1: Crawford Ore Reserve Estimate

Reserve Classification Ore Tonnes Gold (g/t) Gold Produced (Oz)
Probable 1,002kt 0.91 29,300
Total 1,002kt 0.91 29,300

Some errors may occur due to rounding. Mineral Resources are reported inclusive ore Ore Reserves. Ore Reserves are based on a gold price of $2,900/oz. A cut-off grade of 0.3g/t was calculated based on the base case cost and processing recovery inputs and was used to generate the production schedule and calculate the Ore Reserve. Note that Ore Reserves are susceptible to geological, economic, geotechnical, permitting, metallurgical, mining, processing and other factors.

Mineral Resource Estimate:

The Crawford Gold Project currently has a 117,800oz Au JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) as set out below:

Kappes, Cassidy & Associates Australia (KCAA) oversaw the follow up metallurgical heap leach test work carried out after the initial bottle roll testing.

Six reverse circulation composite samples, weighing a total of 570 kilograms, were supplied to ALS representing various weathering, oxidation and rock types that occur within the oxidised portion of the Crawford gold resource.

The test program consisted of head assays, sizing analyses with fraction assays, coarse-crush intermittent bottle roll tests (‘IBRT’), agglomeration/percolation testing and column leach testing.

Each of the six main composite samples was tested individually through the IBRT program, with three column tests conducted on composited material.

Based on the IBRT results and sample rock type and oxidation levels, three columns were set up at as-received size. Equal portions of CRC01, CRC02 and CRC03 were combined into a highly weathered (‘HW’) composite, while CRC04 and CRC05 were combined in a 40/60 ratio to form a partially oxidised saprolitic clay composite (‘POx Sap’). CRC06 was leached separately as medium weathered, partially oxidised conglomerate (‘MW POx’).

The gold content was observed to be relatively consistent among the splits of each sample, indicating the absence of coarse or spotty gold.

Given the Company’s intention to initially focus on the mining and processing of oxides, and that the resource contains significant “natural” fines due to extensive weathering, all composites supplied and tested were completely weathered to medium weathered and representative of the lithology.

The heap leach study returned the following results:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

High recoveries, ranging from 77.4% to 92.5% gold extraction

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Rapid extraction rates; field leach cycles are expected to be very short by industry standards Lower than usual heap leach operating costs are expected due to Very low cyanide consumptions

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Low doses of cement required for agglomeration and percolation

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • The natural pH of the oxide material minimalises the requirement for the addition of lime

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Low contained Cu, Ag and Hg further reduces cyanide consumption and contamination of doré bullion

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Minimal crushing requirements expected given the targeting of oxide-only material for processing

Geotechnical:

Peter O’Bryan and Associates carried out an investigation and produced a technical memorandum in March 2021.

The investigation considered:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Regional and local geological conditions, Historical diamond core, Rock weathering profiles, Groundwater levels measured across the site, and

Consideration of experience in assessment of the nearby Cardinia and Mertondale areas.

Rock strength at Crawford is highly dependent on rock weathering grades.

For the assessment it was assumed that weathered and therefore weak rock mass conditions persist to ≥35m and locally up to 45m. This approach enforces conservative assessment of stability conditions; however, it is important to note that local variations in strength (due to locally lesser rock weathering grades) will likely adversely impact excavation and productivity.

The depth of groundwater averages ~38m across the overall Resource area of the Project. There appears to be a distinction between the north-eastern edge of the drilled area, where average depth to water is ~28m and the south-western edge at ~47m.

The average Rock Mass Rating (RMR) for weathered ground at Crawford is estimated to be ~20 (lower bound poor quality). Transitional rock is estimated to have an average RMR of ~40, while fresh rock, anticipated to be exposed only in the floor of the planned pit has an estimated mean RMR ≥60 (lower bound good quality).

The recommended pit wall design parameters were as follows:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Face height 20m from surface (~382mRL to ~385mRL) to depth Face angle 45° throughout Berm width 5m at 365, 345 & 325mRL

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

These base case parameters are inferred to have an inherent contingency allowance to compensate for instability related to poorer than inferred ground conditions and/or unforeseen difficulties in mining.

Mining (General):

For the purposes of the PFS, mining was planned to be undertaken via open pit by standard truck and excavator operations. Due to the size of the proposed pit, articulated trucks and 70-110t class excavators will be employed and based on drilling and studies it was expected that drill and blast would not be required. Where necessary, dozer ripping will be used to allow the excavator(s) to operate without undue delays.

This fleet will be used to transport the overburden from its in-situ location to the waste dumps and for transporting ore to the ROM pad. 70-110t class excavators (Komatsu PC750, Komatsu PC1250 or similar) and 55t articulated trucks (Volvo A60H or similar) are the major equipment types intended for use at the Project.

Primary mining operations will be supported by Dozers and Front-End Loaders (FELs). Caterpillar D10 dozers (or similar) will be used for cross-ripping, general clean-up work and contouring waste dumps. FELs will be used to assist ore handling both in the pit and around the crusher and heap leach pad.

Pit Optimisation Work – Oxidised Material Only:

Given the use of heap leaching as the processing method, the Company was only looking at the potential of mining a pit where JORC-Indicated classified oxidised materials existed.

Thusly, the pit optimisations undertaken were constrained to the oxidised portion of the engineering Whittle block model.

A summary of the key optimisation parameters are as follows:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • An overall slope angle of 38°

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Applied gold price of $A2,900 per ounce

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • 95% mining recovery factor

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • 10% mining dilution factor

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Base total mining cost applied $5.05/bcm, with fixed increase of $0.375/bcm per 5m in depth Contractor fixed costs of $2.40/bcm

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Fixed rehabilitation cost of $0.10/t waste

A number of sensitivity optimisation runs were performed, being constrained to the oxidised material base case sell price scenario; these were:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Processing cost variations at -20%, -10%, +10% and +20%; Mining cost variations at -20%, -10%, +10% and +20%; Commodity sell price variations at -20%, -10%, +10% and +20%; Processing recovery adding or subtracting 5% and 10% from base case recovery.

In general, linear changes to inputs resulted in linear outputs for the discounted cashflow. Changes to the sell prices and processing recovery have the largest impact on the cashflows and physical characteristics of this project, which is a common occurrence.

Pit and Surface Designs:

The pit designs for the Project use the RF1 pit shell from the optimisations as discussed prior.

Haul ramps were designed for use of articulated trucks at a gradient of 1:8 with a dual lane ramp 15m wide from surface to the 355mRL and a single lane ramp 10m wide from 355mRL down to the 320mRL.

It is expected that the pit will be mined in two stages to limit waste stripping prior to ore mining. The first stage (1) will be the northern half of the pit, with the southern half mined as stage 2.

==> picture [525 x 271] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5: Crawford Oxidised Material Pit Design Stages 1 (left ) and 2 (right), Plan View

Adjacent to the Stage 1 oxidised pit will be a full infrastructure area containing topsoil stockpiles, waste dump, leach pad, processing plant and other infrastructure that may include, but not limited to offices/ablutions, contractor yards and water storage.

The waste dump has been designed to a height of 30m above the surrounding topography with the capacity to hold all waste mined during production.

See Figure 1 for the PFS site layout.

Production Schedule:

A mining rate of 3.6Mtpa was used to generate the production schedule with a single 70-110t class excavator (Komatsu PC750/PC1250 or similar) will be used to mine all material.

The load and haul fleet may be supported by dozers, front-end loaders, graders and water carts to meet production targets and to maintain suitable operating conditions.

Figure 6: PFS Monthly Mining Schedule

Ore mined is planned to be temporarily stockpiled on the ROM pad to be fed to a mobile, contractor crusher. Crushing is scheduled to commence in month 4 of the production schedule at a rate of ~50kt per month (140tph for 12hr shift), increasing to ~100kt per month (275tph) from month 8 as the proportion of ore mined to waste increases.

A crushed ore stockpile has been included in the PFS site layout to allow a buffer between mining, crushing and stacking ore on the leach pad if required. Future short to medium term scheduling and reconciliation of leaching operations will provide greater clarity over crushing, agglomeration and stacking rates and stockpile requirements.

The leach pad is proposed to consist of two cells, allowing processing operations (crushing, agglomeration, stacking and leaching) to run uninterrupted, with each cell nominally being operated for one month (i.e. one month to stack and one month to leach). The initial month of leaching is expected to recover approximately 70% of gold, leaching will continue with a further 5% of gold recovered in the second month and the final 5% (up to the expected total recovery of 80%) in the third month.

As the leach pad will be built up, further leaching of ore in the initial lifts may occur, increasing overall recovery, however this has not been included in the recovered gold or revenue calculations.

The production schedule contains a very small amount of Inferred material (0.2%) that is reported in the ore mining and processing schedule but is not reported in the Crawford Ore Reserve. The total life of mine from commencement of mining operations to full recovery of all gold processed on the leach pads is currently expected to be 18 months.

With a total pre-production capital expenditure of A$5.6M, mining and processing this oxidised material from the current Ore Reserve at the Crawford project is expected to generate a cashflow of A$18.2M over an 18-month life of mine.

Maximum negative cashflow is forecast to reach ~A$13.2M in month 4, with a cashflow neutral period for a further 4 months before higher cashflows due to higher throughput rate is achieved, resulting in project payback after approximately 12 months.

Environmental:

Native Vegetation Solutions conducted a Flora and Vegetation Survey in November 2020 which included broad-scale vegetation mapping and vegetation condition mapping of the survey area.

The scope of work for the reconnaissance flora and vegetation survey was to:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

conduct a desktop study that includes a literature review and search of the relevant databases; describe the vegetation associations in the survey area;

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

prepare an inventory of species occurring in the survey area;

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • identify any vegetation communities or flora species of conservation significance;

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Map broad-scale vegetation groups found within the survey area, including vegetation condition; and

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • provide recommendations, including the management of perceived impacts to flora and vegetation within the survey area.

A total of 15 Families, 26 Genera and 64 Species were recorded within the survey area. Four major vegetation groups were recorded in the survey area.

The field assessment established that overall, the condition of the vegetation was determined to be “Very Good” with areas which were affected by historic disturbances in “Good” or “Degraded” condition. No areas of vegetation were assessed to be in “Pristine” condition.

No non-native species were recorded the survey area.

No Threatened Flora, Priority Flora, TECs or PECs were recorded in the survey area.

No unique or restricted vegetation communities were identified, and all vegetation types/communities are common, widespread and well represented in the Eastern Murchison subregion and adjoining subregions.

Terrestrial Ecosystems carried out a vertebrate fauna site survey and risk assessment in November 2020.

The total assessed area was ~1,000ha, but it was acknowledged that likely only a small portion of the total area surveyed would be disturbed.

There are three broad fauna habitats in the project area:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Mulga woodland; Open Mulga woodland; and Shrubland.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

The mulga woodland is associated with an ephemeral drainage line that runs north-south through the flat plains and there is a small rocky ridge on the eastern boundary that has a shrubland habitat. Some small areas are highly degraded through exploration activity, but these are not significant in the context of the available fauna habitat in the area.

It was determined that:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Clearing native vegetation in the project area is likely to result in the loss of a small number vertebrate fauna on-site that are unable to move away during the vegetation clearing process or development. This loss is not likely to be significant when viewed in a bioregional context. There may be an on-going loss of small native fauna to vehicle strikes on access tracks, but overall, this impact will be very low.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Impacts on vertebrate fauna associated with clearing vegetation in the project area in a landscape or bioregional context are likely to be very low due to the sparseness of the vegetation.

Groundwater Review:

In July 2021, Geowater Consulting Pty Ltd (Geowater) undertook a groundwater assessment of the Project site in relation to dewatering and associated groundwater abstraction approval requirements of the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DEWR).

Groundwater samples were collected in May 2021 by using a plastic bailer to collect water samples from close to the water table surface. EC values ranged from 3,640 – 8,220 uS/cm, which equate approximately to salinity levels of 2,200 – 4,900 mg/L.

The groundwater is near-neutral with pH levels of 7.1 – 7.6 recorded.

Groundwater quality at the deposit is consistent with expectations based on experience elsewhere across the Goldfields and the projects relative position within the regional catchment.

Groundwater abstraction for pit dewatering is expected to only have a limited spatial extent on surrounding groundwater levels given the relatively low permeability expected and the short mine life.

The following conclusions and recommendations were made in report regarding the groundwater setting at Crawford and the potential magnitude and effects of pit dewatering:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Groundwater occurs at 12.4 – 13.2 m below ground level in the proposed open pit area, within the highly weathered saprolite zone of Archean conglomeratic and volcaniclastic sediments. With a planned maximum pit depth of 65 m, up to 53 m of vertical dewatering will be required within the pit confines.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • The saprolite and fresh bedrock zones within the pit are likely to be of very low permeability and unlikely to contribute any significant groundwater inflows during mining. The saprock interval is typically about 10 – 15 m thickness and is likely to contribute the most groundwater inflows in relative terms.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Assuming a saprock permeability of 0.5 m/day and a specific yield of 0.04, the basic groundwater modelling undertaken indicates a total of about 88,000 kL (at maximum rates of about 1,000 kL/day) would be abstracted by dewatering over the 5 - 6 month mining period.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • The groundwater abstracted would be of suitable quality for dust suppression and raw water needs of the Project (about 2,200 – 4,900 mg/L TDS and near-neutral pH)

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • There is likely to be no adverse groundwater-related impacts upon the surrounding environment or pastoral water users due to the required dewatering, however, the monitoring described in Section 5.3 (of the report) is recommended to be undertaken to ensure potential impacts can be detected and responded to.

Waste Rock Testing and Surface Water:

Waste rock testing was carried out by ALS in May 2021 (Project Number A22241). 20 samples were taken from across breadth of the 2021 RC drilling program.

Acid Mine Drainage (AMD), Particle Size Distribution (PSD) and head assays were taken. All assaying indicated that any waste stored on the WRL would not be acid generating.

Surface water, when present on site, has a general water flow direction from North to South. The main project infrastructure has been positioned to sit clear of known drainage channels, however diversion bunds will be constructed as required to direct all surface water flows away from the mining area.

Opportunities:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Significant financial upside exists. The PFS utilised an Australian gold price of A$2,900/oz; the current gold spot price as of this release is circa A$3,300/oz.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • The PFS was constrained to the Indicated-only oxidised supergene layer of the Resource. There exists significant Resource opportunity upside in further near mine drilling to convert several undomained near-mine mineralised saprolitic gold areas into Resource classification. The Resource is open along strike and depth. There exists a significant opportunity for further expansion of the Crawford resource, and potential conversion of the Miranda target into Resource classification, via additional exploration drilling programmes.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Conversion/discovery of new Resource material also presents potential opportunity to mine additional cutbacks at Crawford and/or mine new nearby pits, such as the current Miranda fresh-rock target, lying 500m to the northeast of Crawford.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Located ~20km east of Leonora and with many smaller prospecting parties and mining entities in the area, there exists potential opportunity to utilise the heap leach circuit for toll milling upon completion of the Crawford oxide mining campaign.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • The PFS applied a conservative top cut to the gold recovery of 80%. Metallurgical studies based on heap leach processing returned an average of 88% for four of the six samples, while bottle roll testing has returned recoveries peaking at ~98%.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Metallurgical test work carried out in 2020 indicated a 28% gold recovery via intensive cyanidation of the Knelson concentrate. Pre-heap gravity recovery was not included in the PFS. There exists an opportunity to quickly recover gold from the higher-grade portions of the Reserve pre-heap.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Various cost-beneficial partnership with miners and operators, such as joint ventures, mining alliances, were not considered as part of the PFS.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • There is opportunity to expedite monetisation and derisk mining the Reserve via sale, toll mining and/or toll treatment options.

Risks:

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • The PFS sensitivity studies indicated that Crawford is most susceptible to changes in commodity price and processing recovery. Any reduction in gold pricing or recovery rates could significantly decrease the Project’s NPV.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates are expression of judgement based on knowledge, relevant experience and industry practise as at the time of the estimate. By their very nature therefore they can be inaccurate or imprecise based on interpretation or data available at the time.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Estimates which were valid when originally calculated may alter significantly when new information or technology becomes available; in such cases any change in the Resource or Reserve may negatively impact the mining and recovery of gold at the Crawford project.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • There exists the potential for mining risks to negatively impact on the open pit operation, including, but not limited to, situations such as a complete ramp failure due to poor ground conditions, flooding due to an influx of ground or surface water, or wall collapse.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Metallurgical studies have been carried out utilising representative drill samples, however no bulk processing test work has taken place.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • The Project, and Company, will be subject to various laws, regulation, rules and approvals. No assurance can be given that current approvals will be granted, or that future laws, regulation, rules and approvals be altered in a way that may negatively impact the Project and/or the Company.

==> picture [9 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

  • Uncertainty around operational risks include, but are not limited to:

  • Ore tonnes

  • Mined grades

  • Ground conditions

  • Metallurgical recovery

  • Unanticipated metallurgical issues

  • Resource drilling

  • Workforce experience

  • Operational environment

  • Regulatory changes

  • Financing has not been secured for development of the Project. There is no guarantee that funding will be obtained, or that it will be available on acceptable terms. Dependent upon the form, financing the Project may result in dilution of the Company’s existing shareholders.

Summary Information Required by Listing Rule 5.9.1

The following summary information is provided as follows:

Material Assumptions

The material assumptions and outcomes with the PFS which support the Ore Reserve Estimate, the production target and forecast financial information derived from the production target are disclosed in the body of this announcement.

Criteria Used for the Classification of Ore Reserves

Indicated Resources contained within the pit design above the calculate cut-off grade of 0.3g/t were reported as Probable Ore Reserves. No Measured Resources were stated in the MRE.

All Inferred Resources were treated as waste for the Ore Reserve Estimate, however were included in the production target and financial evaluation.

Mining Method and Assumptions

Mining will be undertaken by traditional truck and shovel operations as discussed in this document.

Processing Method and Assumptions

Processing will be undertaken via heap leaching as discussed in this document.

- Cut Off Grades

A cut-off grade of 0.3g/t was calculated based on the base case cost and processing recovery inputs and was used to generate the production schedule and calculate the Ore Reserve.

Estimation Methodology

The level of study carried out as part of this Crawford Gold Project JORC 2012 Ore Reserve is to a Pre-Feasibility Study level. The relative accuracy of the estimate is reflected in the reporting of the Ore Reserves as per the guidelines regarding modifying factors, study levels and Competent Persons within the 2012 JORC Code.

The Ore Reserve estimate has only utilised the Indicated portion of the Crawford MRE based on applicable cut-off grades and had modifying factors applied in order to generate the Ore Reserve.

Material Modifying Factors

Material modifying factors have been discussed previously in this document.

Appendix 1: JORC Table 1

JORC Table 1 Section 1

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.
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.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
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,
half or all core taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary
split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
• For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness
of
the
sample
preparation
technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in-situ material collected,
including
for
instance
results
for
field
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.

Verification of
sampling and
assaying
• The verification of significant intersections by
either
independent
or
alternative
company
personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures,
data
verification,
data
storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
• Discuss any adjustment to assay data
The reported significant intersections have been verified
by the Cavalier Geology Manager and corporate
personnel. All the logged samples have been assayed;
the assay data has been stored physically and
electronically in the company database using Cavaliers
protocols. The sampling and assay data has been
compiled,
verified,
and
interpreted
by
company
geologists.
No holes were twinned. No adjustments, averaging or
calibrations are made to any of the assay data recorded
in the database. QA/QC protocol is considered industry
standard with standard reference material submitted on a
routine basis.
Location of data
points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill
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.
Sample security • The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples are prepared on site under supervision of
Cavaliergeological staff. Samples are selected,bagged

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 apartfrom internal reviews andfield quality control.

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 elevatedgold

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 clearlyexplain whythis is the case.
The location of all drillholes is presented as part of the
significant intersection table in the body of the report.
Significant down hole gold intersections were reported in
the table of intersections. All hole depths referred 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 clearlystated.
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.

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.
Other substantive
exploration data

• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material,
should be reported including (but not limited to):
geological
observations;
geophysical
survey
results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples
– size and method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical
and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances
Historic activities have included drilling to obtain samples
for metallurgical test work, bulk density analyses and
geotechnical analyses. Regarding the results received
from the drilling program, no other substantive data is
currently considered necessary. All meaningful data is or
has been previously reported.

Grade estimation using Ordinary Kriging (OK) was
undertaken using Vulcan software. Detailed statistical
and geostatistical investigations have been completed
on the captured estimation data set (1m composites).
One element, Au g/t was estimated using parent cell
estimation, with density being assigned by lithology and
oxidation state. Drill hole data was coded using three
dimensional
domains
reflecting
the
geological
interpretation based on the structural, lithological,
alteration and oxidation characteristics of the Mineral
Resource. One metre composited data was used to
estimate the domains. The domains were treated as hard
boundaries and only informed by data from the domain.
The impact of outliers in the sample distributions used to
inform each domain was reduced by the use of grade
capping. Grade capping was applied on a domain scale
and a combination of analytical tools such as histograms
of grade, Coefficient of Variation (COV) analysis and log
probability plots were used to determine the grade caps
for each domain.
A top cut of 10 g/t was used
A Parent block size was selected at 5mE x 10mN x
2.5mRL, with sub-blocking down to 1.25 x 1.25 x 1.25.
Search Pass 1 used a minimum of 10 samples and a
maximum of 30 samples in the first pass with an ellipsoid
search. Search pass 2 was a minimum of 5 samples and
a maximum of 30 samples with an ellipsoid search.
A dynamic search strategy was used with the search
ellipse oriented to the semi-variogram model. The first
pass was at the variogram range, with pass 2 expanding
the ellipse by factors of 2. The majority of the Mineral
Resource was informed by the first pass.
A previously JORC compliant Mineral Resource
Estimates was estimated in 2020. This new MRE
corresponds to the previous model.
Auranmore completed check estimates for the latest
model using the inverse distance squared (ID2)
interpolation method. The global results are comparable
with the reported OK models with localised differences
as expected.
No
assumption of mining
selectivity
has been
incorporated into the estimate.
Only Au was estimated in the Mineral Resource.
The

mineralisation
was
constrained
by
wireframes constructed using a nominal 0.3g/t Au cut-off

Validation checks included. Visual validation of grade
trends for gold along the drill sections was completed
and trend plots comparing drill sample grades and model
grades for northings, eastings and elevation were
completed. These checks show reasonable correlation
between estimated block grades and drill sample grades.

Classification
The basis for the classification of the Mineral
Resources into varying confidence categories.

Whether appropriate account has been taken of
all relevant factors (ie relative confidence in
tonnage/grade estimations, reliability of input
data, confidence in continuity of geology and
metal values, quality, quantity and distribution
of the data).

Whether the result appropriately reflects the
Competent Person’s view of the deposit.
The Mineral Resource estimate is reported here in
compliance with the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian
Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral
Resources and Ore Reserves’ by the Joint Ore Reserves
Committee (JORC). The resource was classified as an
Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource based on data
quality, sample spacing, and lode continuity.
The input data is comprehensive in its coverage of the
mineralisation and does not favour or misrepresent in-
situ mineralisation. The definition of oxide mineralised
zones is based on high level geological understanding
producing a robust model of mineralised domains. This
model has been confirmed by infill drilling which
supported the interpretation. Validation of the block
model shows good correlation of the input data to the
estimated grades
The Mineral Resource estimate appropriately reflects the
view of the Competent Person.

or
geostatistical
procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of
the resource within stated confidence limits, or,
if such an approach is not deemed appropriate,
a qualitative discussion of the factors that could
affect the relative accuracy and confidence of
the estimate.

The statement should specify whether it relates
to global or local estimates, and, if local, state
the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant
to
technical
and
economic
evaluation.
Documentation should include assumptions
made and the procedures used.

These statements of relative accuracy and
confidence of the estimate should be compared
with production data, where available.
The mineralisation geometry and continuity has been
adequately interpreted to reflect the level of Indicated
and Inferred Mineral Resource.
The data quality is good, and the drill holes have detailed
logs produced by qualified geologists. A recognised

Complete extraction of ore within pit designs is planned.
Ore will be trucked directly from its mined location to the ROM pad on the
surface.
Waste material will be stockpiled on the surface adjacent to the pit.
No drill and blast operations will be required, cross ripping by dozers may be
required.
Mining will be undertaken in two stages to reduce pre-stripping period.
An overall wall angle of 38° has been proposed based on completed
geotechnical studies.
The pit design contains benches up to a maximum of 20m high at a batter
angle of 45° with a 5m wide berm at the 365, 345 and 325mRL.
Mining recovery of 95% was applied to the optimisations, production schedule
and Ore Reserve.
A mining dilution factor of 10% was applied to the optimisations, production
schedule and Ore Reserve.
Inferred material was treated as waste during optimisations, designs and
scheduling.
As heap leaching is the proposed method of processing, no tailings storage
facility will be required.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
accuracy/
confidence
estimate
using
an
approach or procedure
deemed appropriate by
the Competent Person.
For
example,
the
application of statistical or
geostatistical procedures
to quantify the relative
accuracy of the reserve
within stated confidence
limits, or, if such an
approach is not deemed
appropriate, a qualitative
discussion of the factors
which could affect the
relative
accuracy
and
confidence
of
the
estimate.
The
statement
should
specify whether it relates
to
global
or
local
estimates, and, if local,
state
the
relevant
tonnages, which should
be relevant to technical
and economic evaluation.
Documentation
should
include
assumptions
made and the procedures
used.
Accuracy and confidence
discussions
should
extend
to
specific
discussions
of
any
applied Modifying Factors
that may have a material
impact on Ore Reserve
viability, or for which there
are remaining areas of
uncertainty at the current
study stage.

It is recognised that this
may not be possible or
appropriate
in
all
circumstances.
These
statements
of
relative
accuracy and confidence
of the estimate should be
compared with production
data,where available.
This statement relates to global estimates of tonnes and grade.
Sensitivity studies were carried out. Standard linear deviations were
observed.
Globally, the project is susceptible to fluctuations in commodity price.
