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:
-

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.
==> picture [483 x 328] intentionally omitted <==
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:

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:
-

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:
-

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.

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 |

| recoveries, but recovery is still only moderate to good. • Diamond core samples were consistently taken from the same side of the core |
|
| 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. • There is no evidence of a sample recovery and grade relationship in unweathered material. |
|
| 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. |
| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. • Logging is considered qualitative in nature. • Diamond drill core is photographed wet before cutting. |
|
| The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. • All holes were geologically logged in full. |
|
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • Diamond core was either quarter cored (HQ for Gonneville drilling) or half cored (NQ or HQ and PQ for exploration drilling) with samples taken over selective intervals ranging from 0.2m to 1.2m (typically 1.0m). |
| If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. • RC assay samples were collected as two 1m splits from the rig cyclone via a cone splitter. The cone splitter was horizontal to ensure sample representivity. Wet or damp samples were noted in the sample logging sheet. A majority of samples were dry. |
|
| For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. • Sample preparation is industry standard and comprises oven drying, jaw crushing and pulverising to -75 microns (80% pass). |
|
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. • Field duplicates were collected at an approximate ratio of one in twenty five. • Diamond drill core field duplicates collected as ¼ core. |
|
| 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. • In the majority of cases the entire hole has been sampled and assayed. • Duplicate sample results were compared with the original sample results. There is no bias observed in the data. |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. • Drill sample sizes are considered appropriate for the style of |

| mineralisation sought and the nature of the drilling program. |
|
| 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. • 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, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sc, Sr, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Zn, Zr. Additional ore-grade analysis was performed as required for elements reporting out of range for Ni, Cr, Cu (ALS method code ME-OG-62) and Pd, Pt (ALS method code PGM-ICP27). • These techniques are considered total digests. |
| 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. • Not applicable as no data from such tools or instruments are reported |
|
| Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie. lack of bias) and precision have been established. • Certified analytical standards and blanks were inserted at appropriate intervals with an insertion rate of >5%. All QAQC samples display results within acceptable levels of accuracy and precision. |
|
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. • Significant drill intersections are checked by the Project Geologist and then by the General Manager Exploration. Significant intersections are cross-checked with the logged geology and drill core after final assays are received. |
| 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. |

| • Assays correlate well between holes. In detail, there is variation for higher grade samples in terms of both location and grade. There is no discernible bias between drill types. |
|
| Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. • Primary drill data was collected digitally using OCRIS software before being transferred to the master SQL database. • All procedures including data collection, verification, uploading to the database etc are captured in detailed procedures and summarised in a single document. |
|
| Discuss any adjustment to assay data • No adjustments were made to the lab reported assay data. |
|
| 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. • 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. |
| Specification of the grid system used. • The grid system used for the location of all drill holes is GDA94 - MGA (Zone 50). |
|
| Quality and adequacy of topographic control. • RLs for reported holes were derived from RTK-DGPS pick-ups. |
|
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. • Diamond drill hole spacing is variable given the early stage of exploration drilling. |
| 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. • Results from diamond drilling at Dampier, Hartog, Hann and Hooley are not considered sufficient to assume geological or grade continuity. • Results from drilling to date at the Gonneville depositare considered sufficient to assume geological or grade continuity appropriate for Mineral Resource estimation procedure(s) and classifications. |
|
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. • No compositing undertaken for diamond drill core or RC samples. |

structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. 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 mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. • The orientation of the drilling is not considered to have introduced sampling bias. |
|
| Sample security |
The measures taken to ensure sample security. • Samples were collected in polyweave bags at the core cutting facility. The polyweave bags have five samples each and are cable tied. • Filled bags were collected into palletised bulk bags at the field office and delivered directly from site to ALS laboratories in Wangara, Perth by a Chalice contractor several times weekly. |
| Audits or reviews |
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. • None completed for the Dampier, Hartog, Hann and Hooley drilling programs. • Cube Consulting conducted a site visit and review of the sampling techniques and data as part of the July 2022 Resource Estimate on 12 May 2022. • SRK completed an independent assurance review of the Chalice procedures and documentation in 2021, which continue to apply in 2023, and the appropriateness of Cube Consulting estimation methods employed |

| Exploration done by other parties |
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. • Bestbet Pty Ltd undertook 27 stream sediment samples within E70/5119.

| noted in the coarse fraction (<5mm+2mm) are reported in this release. Finer fraction samples did not replicate the coarse fraction results. • A local AMAG survey was flown in 1996 by Alcoa using 200m line spacing which has been used by Chalice for targeting purposes. • A local AMAG survey was flown in 1996 by Alcoa using 200m line spacing which has been used by Chalice for targeting purposes. • An Alcoa and CRA JV completed seven diamond holes in the 1970s targeting a magnetic high to the north of E70/5119 and the east of E70/5351testing for vanadium (Boomer Hill). |
|
| 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. |

| • No top cuts have 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. |
| Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the maingeological interpretations and • Any potential extensions to mineralisation are shown in the figures in the body of the text. |
