Overview

Chalice Mining Limited (“Chalice” or “the Company”, ASX: CHN) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activities at its 100%-owned Gonneville Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group Element (PGE) Project (“Gonneville”), located ~70km north-east of Perth in Western Australia.

Chalice’s multi-track value creation strategy at the Gonneville Project is to advance development studies and progress regulatory approvals for a potential mine at Gonneville (located entirely on Chalice-owned farmland), continue exploration in the surrounding region to determine the full scale of the mineral system, and attract a strategic partner(s) who adds technical, financial and/or marketing capabilities.

Exploration activities are currently focused on wide-spaced step-out and resource definition drilling at the Gonneville Deposit, with four diamond drill rigs operating. Regional exploration drilling will recommence in the surrounding Julimar Exploration Project at the Hooley Prospect (~5km north of Gonneville) as well as at the Baudin, Jansz and Torres targets (untested targets located ~10-25km north of Gonneville) upon receipt of approvals which are anticipated in late Q3 2023.

Step-out drilling at Gonneville is continuing on a ~160-320m spacing and is expected to continue for the foreseeable future, subject to results. This very wide-spaced drilling is targeting the host Gonneville Intrusion at depths of ~400-1,200m, based on interpreted geology from 2D seismic surveys.

Drilling is currently testing the depth extent of the Deposit well beyond the limit of the current Mineral Resource Estimate (Resource) of 560Mt @ 0.88g/t 3E, 0.16% Ni, 0.09% Cu, 0.015% Co (~0.54% NiEq or ~1.7g/t PdEq)[4] (refer to ASX Announcement of 28 March 2023 and attached Appendix A).

Wide-spaced drilling is assessing the potential for large-scale, high-grade sulphide zones at depth which could potentially add material value to the Project through early underground mining. The drilling is also aiming to define new Inferred Resources at the northern end of the Deposit.

Promising new results have also been received from the previous phase of regional exploration drilling at the Hooley Prospect, with follow-up drilling planned in H2 2023.

Gonneville step-out drilling

Recent deep step-out drill holes down-plunge of the high-grade sulphide zones continue to demonstrate the considerable scale of the Gonneville Deposit. The Deposit remains open and is poorly tested beyond a depth of ~600m.

Diamond hole JD369W3, drilled ~900m down-plunge of the Resource, intersected an exceptional high-grade interval of:

  • « 54.2m @ 3.6g/t 3E, 0.21% Ni, 0.39% Cu, 0.02% Co (1.7% NiEq) from 1132.8m (JD369W3), incl:

  • « 49m @ 3.9g/t 3E, 0.22% Ni, 0.43% Cu, 0.02% Co (1.8% NiEq) from 1135m, incl:

    • « 9m @ 10.0g/t 3E, 0.24% Ni, 1.2% Cu, 0.02% Co (4.3% NiEq) from 1153m.

High-grade mineralisation was also intersected in JD369W1 (~100m down-dip of JD369W3) and in JD369W2 (~250m north of JD369W3):

  • « 6.4m @ 3.6g/t 3E, 0.36% Ni, 1.2% Cu, 0.02% Co (2.5% NiEq) from 1188.6m (JD369W1);

  • « 6m @ 2.7g/t 3E, 0.15% Ni, 0.08% Cu, 0.01% Co (1.1% NiEq) from 951m (JD369W1).

  • « 16.3m @ 2.2g/t 3E, 0.14% Ni, 0.19% Cu, 0.01% Co (1.0% NiEq) from 1199.7m (JD369W1), incl:

  • « 13.1m @ 2.5g/t 3E, 0.16% Ni, 0.22% Cu, 0.02% Co (1.2% NiEq) from 1201.9m

  • « 132.8m @ 0.77g/t 3E, 0.15% Ni, 0.07% Cu, 0.01% Co (0.5% NiEq) from 1051.2m (JD369W2), incl:

  • « 8m @ 1.5g/t 3E, 0.19% Ni, 0.14% Cu, 0.02% Co (0.8% NiEq) from 1062m.

There is very limited drilling in the vicinity of these new intersections, with the nearest drill collar located ~575m from JD369 and, as such, these zones remain wide open (Figure 1). The Gonneville Intrusion remains ~500m thick in the deepest intersection to date (JD369W1) and hence there is considerable potential to further expand the mineralised footprint of the Deposit.

Figure 1. 3D view (looking SSW) of Gonneville Intrusion, >0.8% NiEq Resource blocks and drilling.

The recent intersections do not appear to be located down-plunge of either of the two broadly north-west trending high-grade zones (Figure 2). The controls on the high-grade mineralisation remain unclear, as detailed structural and geochemical investigations have not identified any obvious association with either host rock litho-geochemistry or secondary structural overprints.

The high-grade zones were intersected at the base of the Gonneville Intrusion near the footwall contact and appear to be associated with a gabbro unit that is not present in drilling up-dip. The elevated copper and gold grades are typical of ‘G4 style’ mineralisation, which has been intersected near the footwall contact of the Intrusion near surface. This opens up the possibility of a new prospective horizon to target with further exploration drilling.

Other significant new step-out results include:

  • « 107.1m @ 0.84g/t 3E, 0.18% Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.02% Co (0.6% NiEq) from 458m (HD101), incl:

  • « 23m @ 1.2g/t 3E, 0.22% Ni, 0.1% Cu, 0.02% Co (0.7% NiEq) from 515m;

  • « 119.1m @ 0.66g/t 3E, 0.19% Ni, 0.09% Cu, 0.02% Co (0.5% NiEq) from 373.9m (HD105), incl:

  • « 6.2m @ 1.19g/t 3E, 0.46% Ni, 0.18% Cu, 0.04% Co (1.1% NiEq) from 389m; and,

  • « 11.6m @ 0.78g/t 3E, 0.26% Ni, 0.25% Cu, 0.03% Co (0.8% NiEq) from 398.1m.

In light of these results, early underground mining options targeting zones from a depth of ~400m to 1,100m+, in parallel with open-pit mining, will now be investigated to determine high-level economic implications and the optimal drill-out strategy for this deeper part of the Gonneville Deposit. This will guide the quantity and timing of resource definition drilling. However, these potential early underground options will not be incorporated in the current Scoping Study, which is targeted for completion in Q3 2023 and which will include open pit mining scenarios only.

Infill drilling to follow up new high-grade sulphide zones at the northern end of the Deposit continues to intersect broad intervals of sulphide mineralisation, often including internal high-grade intervals. Significant new results include:

  • « 157.2m @ 0.91g/t 3E, 0.15% Ni, 0.07% Cu, 0.01% Co (0.5% NiEq) from 408.8m (JD383), incl:

  • « 25m @ 2.8g/t 3E, 0.18% Ni, 0.24% Cu, 0.02% Co (1.3% NiEq) from 504m.

  • « 56.5m @ 2.1g/t 3E, 0.15% Ni, 0.20% Cu, 0.02% Co (1.0% NiEq) from 421.1m (JD387W1), incl:

  • « 13.6m @ 3.5g/t 3E, 0.15% Ni, 0.19% Cu, 0.02% Co (1.4% NiEq) from 421.1m and,

  • « 6.4m @ 2.1g/t 3E, 0.16% Ni, 0.19% Cu, 0.02% Co (1.0% NiEq) from 437.7m and,

Hooley Prospect exploration drilling

New reconnaissance exploration drill holes at the Hooley Prospect, located ~5km to the north of Gonneville, have intersected further significant sulphide zones (Figure 3).

Litho-geochemical analysis at Hooley shows the same broad ultramafic-mafic intrusion domains as evident in the Gonneville Intrusion including pyroxenite (and localised harzburgite) at the base, through to leucogabbro at the top, with the same geochemical signature as the central and upper parts of the Gonneville Intrusion.

The more prospective, base metal rich parts of the Gonneville Intrusion stratigraphy are present at Hooley but are typically narrow near surface. In light of this, further deeper drilling is planned to test for a thickening of this stratigraphy at depth.

The drilling completed to date supports the interpretation of the Gonneville Intrusion (and the broader Julimar Complex) as having a rare chonolith-like geometry – which is similar to other major ultramafic-mafic orthomagmatic systems worldwide that host some of the world’s largest nickelcopper+/-PGE deposits, including Norilsk-Talnakh and Jinchuan (Barnes et al, 2016[5] ).

Due to drill site access restrictions, drilling is often not oriented in an optimal direction and therefore the full potential of the zones intersected to date is yet to be fully understood. Drilling to test gaps between current drill holes from additional sites is pending approvals, which are anticipated to be granted in Q3 2023.

Significant new results include:

  • « 33.5m (9.0m ETW) @ 1.4g/t 3E, 0.18% Ni, 0.21% Cu, 0.01% Co (0.8% NiEq) from 358.5m (HD107), incl: « 22.8m (6.8m ETW) @ 1.9g/t 3E, 0.24% Ni, 0.29% Cu, 0.02% Co ( 1.1% NiEq ) from 362.2m.

  • « 4.4m (1.8m ETW[6] ) @ 0.76g/t 3E, 0.11% Ni, 1.86% Cu , 0.03% Co ( 2.0% NiEq ) from 234.6m (HD102), incl:

  • « 2.4m (0.9m ETW) @ 0.82g/t 3E, 0.16% Ni, 3.3% Cu , 0.04% Co ( 3.3% NiEq ) from 234.6m.

  • « 5.8m (1.75m ETW) @ 2.2g/t 3E , 0.23% Ni, 0.12% Cu, 0.01% Co ( 1.0% NiEq ) from 346m (HD107), incl:

  • « 4.8m (1.4m ETW) @ 2.3g/t 3E , 0.25% Ni, 0.15% Cu, 0.02% Co ( 1.1% NiEq ) from 347m.

  • « 14.4m (11.8m ETW) @ 1.1g/t 3E, 0.15% Ni, 0.14% Cu, 0.01% Co (0.6% NiEq) from 188.6m (HD108), incl:

  • « 8.4m (6.9m ETW) @ 1.5g/t 3E, 0.20% Ni, 0.21% Cu, 0.01% Co (0.9% NiEq) from 188.6m.

  • « 24m (9.9m ETW) @ 0.89g/t 3E, 0.13% Ni, 0.06% Cu, 0.01% Co (0.5% NiEq) from 519m (HD110) incl:

  • « 4.9m (2.0m ETW) @ 2.4g/t 3E , 0.14% Ni, 0.08% Cu, 0.01% Co ( 1.0% NiEq ) from 520m

Sub-vertical, post-mineralisation dolerite dykes are common in the area and, given surface access restrictions, orienting drill holes to avoid these dykes is not always possible. Consequently, some drill holes intersected predominantly dolerite and little to no intrusive geology. Dolerite dykes in the region are typically <5m to ~40m wide.

While the results continue to be promising and provide vectors towards higher grades at depth, geology and mineralisation is variable between holes and interpretation remains difficult because of restricted access.

About the Gonneville Nickel-Copper-PGE Project

The Gonneville Nickel-Copper-Platinum Group Element (Ni-Cu-PGE) Project is a pre-development project located on Chalice-owned farmland, ~70km north-east of Perth in Western Australia (Figure 4). The Project was staked in early 2018 as part of Chalice’s global search for high-potential nickel sulphide exploration opportunities.

The Project is centred on the Gonneville Deposit – a significant greenfield mineral discovery by Chalice’s geologists in early 2020. The Deposit hosts a rare mix of critical green metals required for decarbonisation, such as nickel, copper, cobalt, palladium and platinum. Large-scale deposits like Gonneville are very rare and therefore have high strategic value. Current production of these metals is dominated by Russia and South Africa.

Gonneville has a tier-1 scale Mineral Resource Estimate (Resource) (refer to ASX Announcement of 28 March 2023 and attached Appendix A) containing approximately 16 million ounces of platinum group elements (PGEs), 860 thousand tonnes of nickel, 520 thousand tonnes of copper and 83 thousand tonnes of cobalt, making it one of the largest recent nickel sulphide discoveries worldwide, and the largest PGE discovery in Australian history.

Given the scale of the Resource and in response to continued strong strategic interest in the Gonneville Project, Chalice commenced a formal strategic partnering process in 2023. Chalice anticipates that a strategic partner (or partners) with complementary technical, marketing and financial capability may assist with the development of Gonneville and influence the optimal development strategy to maximise shareholder value.

Chalice recognises the need to develop the Gonneville Project sustainably and responsibly, with a best practice approach to environmental, social and cultural heritage management. Chalice is currently continuing exploration and resource definition drilling as well as studies to determine the feasibility of the Project.

The Gonneville discovery has opened up a new unexplored mineral province, the West Yilgarn NiCu-PGE Province in Western Australia. Chalice has a first-mover advantage in the new province and is progressing exploration activities across the West Yilgarn concurrently with pre-development activities at Gonneville.

Appendix B

Metal Equivalents – Gonneville Ni-Cu-PGE Project

The Gonneville Resource is quoted in both nickel equivalent (NiEq) and palladium equivalent (PdEq) terms to take into account the contribution of multiple potentially payable metals. The cut-off grade for the sulphide domain was determined using NiEq in preference over PdEq, due to the assumed requirement for sulphide flotation to recover the metals.

PdEq is quoted given the relative importance of palladium by value at the assumed prices. Separate metal equivalent calculations are used for the oxide and transitional/sulphide zones to take into account the differing metallurgical recoveries in each zone.

Oxide Domain

Initial metallurgical testwork indicates that only palladium and gold are likely to be recovered in the oxide domain, therefore no NiEq grade has been quoted for the oxide. The PdEq grade for the oxide has been calculated using the formula:

PdEq oxide (g/t) = Pd(g/t) + 1.27x Au(g/t).

  • « Metal recoveries based on limited metallurgical test work completed to date:

  • « Pd – 75%, Au – 95%.

  • « Metal prices used are consistent with those used in the pit optimisation:

  • « US$1,800/oz Pd, US$1,800/oz Au.

Transitional and Fresh Sulphide Domains

Based on metallurgical testwork completed to date for the sulphide domain, it is the Company’s opinion that all the quoted elements included in metal equivalent calculations (palladium, platinum, gold, nickel, copper and cobalt) have a reasonable potential of being recovered and sold.

Only limited samples have been collected from the transitional zone due to its relatively small volume. Therefore, the metallurgical recovery of all metals in this domain are unknown. However, given the relatively small proportion of the transition zone in the Mineral Resource, the impact on the metal equivalent calculation is not considered to be material.

Metal equivalents for the transitional and sulphide domains are calculated according to the formula below:

  • « NiEq %= Ni (%) + 0.32x Pd (g/t) + 0.21x Pt (g/t) + 0.38x Au (g/t) + 0.83x Cu (%) + 3.00x Co (%);

  • « PdEq (g/t) = Pd (g/t) + 0.67x Pt (g/t) + 1.17x Au (g/t) + 3.11x Ni (%) + 2.57x Cu (%) + 9.33x Co (%)

  • Metal recoveries used in the metal equivalent calculations are based on rounded average Resource grades for the higher-grade sulphide domain (>0.6% NiEq cut-off): « Pd – 60%, Pt – 60%, Au – 70%, Ni – 45%, Cu – 85%, Co – 45%.

Metal prices used are consistent with those used in the Whittle Resource pit shell optimisation (based on P20-30 long term analyst estimates):

  • « US$1,800/oz Pd, US$1,200/oz Pt, US$1,800/oz Au, US$24,000/t Ni, US$10,500/t Cu and US$72,000/t Co.

A-1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg. cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.

Diamond core was either quarter
cored (HQ for Gonneville drilling) half
cored (NQ or HQ for exploration
drilling) with samples taken over
selective intervals ranging from 0.2m to
1.2m (typically 1.0m).
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Qualitative care taken when sampling
diamond drill core to sample the same
half of the drill core.
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 (eg. ‘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 (eg. submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Mineralisation is easily recognised by
the presence of sulphides. Diamond
drill core sample intervals were
selected on a qualitative assessment of
sulphide content
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details
(eg. 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).

A mixture of diamond drill core size
used including NQ (47.6mm), HQ
(63.5mm diameter) or PQ (85mm) has
been used for holes in this
announcement. Triple tube has been
used from surface until competent
bedrock and then standard tube
thereafter.

The Gonneville resource includes RC
holes drilled with a face sampling bit

Core orientation is by an ACT Reflex
(ACT II RD) tool
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.

Individual recoveries of diamond drill
core samples were assessed
quantitively by comparing measured
core length with expected core length
from drillers mark. Generally, core
recovery was excellent in fresh rock
and approaching 100%. Core
recovery in oxide material is often poor
due to sample washing out. Core
recovery in the oxide zone averages
60%
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.

Diamond drilling utilises triple tube
coring in the oxide zone to improve
sample recovery. This results in better

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.

All drill holes were logged geologically
including, but not limited to;
weathering, regolith, lithology,
structure, texture, alteration and
mineralisation. Logging was at an
appropriate quantitative standard for
infill drilling and resource estimation.

Diamond drill core underwent sample
preparation and geochemical analysis
by ALS Perth. Au-Pt-Pd was analysed
by 50g fire assay fusion with an ICP-AES
finish (ALS Method code PGM-ICP24).
A 34-element suite was analysed by
ICP-MS following a four-acid digest
(ALS method code ME-ICP61 including
Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr,
Cu, Fe, Ga, K, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni,

The use of twinned holes.

No twinning undertaken for drill holes
for exploration holes (HD prefix)

At Gonneville (holes with a JD or JRC
prefix) eight sets of twinned holes (RC
versus Diamond) have been drilled to
provide a comparison between
grade/thickness variations over a
maximum of 5m separation between
drill holes.

Palladium assays have been focused
on, as part of twin hole comparisons for
six sets, with no significant grade bias
observed.

Two sets of twins have been analysed
for Pd, Ni and Cu with no significant
grade bias apparent.

Drill hole collar locations are initially
recorded by Chalice employees using
a handheld GPS with a +/- 3m margin
of error.

RTK-DGPS collar pick-ups replace
handheld GPS collar pick-ups and
have +/-20 mm margin of error.

Planned and final hole coordinates are
compared after pick up to ensure that
the original target has been tested.

Downhole survey data is collected
using a gyro tool (Axis Champ Gyro
and Reflex Gyro Sprint) and recorded
in Microsoft Excel format. Downhole
survey tools are calibrated on a weekly
basis using a surveyed test bed.

holes often drilled from a single site.
Hence the orientation of the holes is
often not orthogonal to the inferred
dip and strike of the mineralisation. All
quoted intersections are downhole
widths unless otherwise stated.

RC and Diamond drill holes at
Gonneville were typically oriented
within 15° of orthogonal to the
interpreted dip and strike of the known
zone of mineralisation. However,
several holes were drilled at less
optimal azimuths due to site access
constraints or to test for alternative
mineralisation orientations. At
exploration targets the orientation of
any mineralisation intersected is
unknown.
If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key

Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

There is no previous exploration at
Gonneville and only limited
exploration has been completed by
other exploration parties in the vicinity
of the targets identified by Chalice to
date.

Chalice has compiled historical
records dating back to the early 1960’s
which indicate only three genuine
explorers in the area, all primarily
targeting Fe-Ti-V mineralisation.

Over 1971<1972, Garrick Agnew Pty
Ltd undertook reconnaissance surface
sampling over prominent
aeromagnetic anomalies in a search
for ‘Coates deposit style’ vanadium
mineralisation. Surface sampling
methodology is not described in detail,
nor were analytical methods specified,
with samples analysed for V2O5, Ni,
Cu, Cr, Pb and Zn, results of which are
referred to in this announcement.

Three diamond holes were completed
by Bestbet Pty Ltd targeting Fe-Ti-V
situated approximately 3km NE of
JRC001.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

The target deposit type is an
orthomagmatic Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide
deposit, within the Yilgarn Craton. The
style of sulphide mineralisation
intersected consists of massive, matrix,
stringer and disseminated sulphides
typical of metamorphosed and
structurally overprinted
orthomagmatic Ni sulphide deposits.
Drill hole
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 interception
depth hole length.

Provided in body of text.
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.

No material information has been
excluded.
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.

Significant intercepts are reported
using a length-weighted >0.3% NiEq
cut off. A maximum of 4m internal
dilution has been applied.

Higher grade internal intervals are
reported using a >0.6% NiEq length-
weighted cut off. A maximum of 2m
internal dilution has been applied.

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.

Not applicable
The assumptions used for any reporting
of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.

Metal price assumptions used in the
metal equivalent calculations are:
US$1,800/oz Pd, US$1,200/oz Pt,
US$1,800/oz Au, US$24,000/t Ni,
US$10,500/t Cu, US$72,000/t Co.

Metallurgical recovery assumptions
used in the metal equivalent
calculation for the oxide material are:
Pd – 75%, Au – 95%.

Hence for the oxide material PdEq
(g/t) = Pd (g/t) + 1.27 x Au (g/t).

Metallurgical recovery assumptions
used in the metal equivalent
calculation for the sulphide (fresh)
material are: Pd – 60%, Pt – 60%, Au –
70%, Ni – 45%, Cu – 85%, Co - 45%.

Hence for the sulphide material NiEq =
Ni (%) + 0.32x Pd(g/t) + 0.21x Pt(g/t) +
0.38x Au(g/t) + 0.83x Cu(%) + 3x
Co(%)and PdEq = Pd (g/t) + 0.67x
Pt(g/t) + 1.17x Au(g/t) + 3.11x Ni(%) +
2.57x Cu(%) + 9.33x Co(%).

The volume of transitional material is
small and considered unlikely to
materially affect the overall metal
equivalent calculation.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.

Diamond drill hole sites at Dampier,
Hartog, Hann and Hooley are
restricted by access approvals with
multiple holes often drilled from a
single site. Hence the orientation of
the holes is often not orthogonal to the
inferred dip and strike of the
mineralisation. All quoted intersections
are downhole widths unless otherwise
stated. Quoted estimated true widths
are based on an interpretation of
mineralisation having an overall dip
and strike approximately parallel to
the footwall contact of the host
intrusion as is the case at Gonneville.

At Gonneville RC and Diamond drill
holes were typically oriented within 15°
of orthogonal to the interpreted dip
and strike of the known zone of
mineralisation. However, several holes
were drilled at less optimal azimuths
due to site access constraints or to test

for alternative mineralisation
orientations.
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’).

All widths are quoted down-hole. For
regional drilling, true widths are not
known.

At Gonneville, true widths vary
depending on the orientation of the
hole and the orientation of the
mineralisation.
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.

Refer to figures in the body of text.
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.

All holes including those without
significant intercepts have been
reported.
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.

A 2D seismic survey was undertaken by
HiSeis Pty Ltd in May 2022 along two
east-west lines and 1 north-south tie
line. A second 2D survey was
undertaken by HiSeis in February 2023
along 2 lines within the Julimar State
Forest along existing roads. A 3rdline
was completed south of Gonneville as
part of this phase of work.

The seismic surveys were undertaken
by a high-power Vibroseis source with
geophones placed at 5m intervals
along/adjacent to lines.

HiSeis provided processed/filtered
data including Pseudo Relief, Cosine
Phase, Laplacian Edge Detection and
Amplitude Envelope grids which were
utilised for the domain and line
interpretation

Velocity measurements were
collected from core samples to allow
a time to depth conversion and
calculated acoustic impedance

All meaningful data has been
included
Further work The nature and scale of planned
further work (eg. tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or large-
scale step-out drilling).

Diamond drilling will continue to test
high-priority targets including EM
conductors. Further drilling along strike
and down dip may occur at these and
other targets depending on results.
