QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Highlights

Hualilan Gold Project - San Juan, Argentina

  • Scoping Study (SS) completed during the quarter demonstrating outstanding economics, rapid payback and strong cashflows (Refer ASX Release 8 November 2023).

  • The Study focused on the high-grade core of Hualilan to present a low startup-capital project capable of being funded by the Company in the current challenging market conditions. Highlights of the study include:

    • Forecast EBITDA of US$738m ( A$1.1 billion ) over Life of Mine (LOM);

    • Rapid payback period of under 1.25 years based on current production target; and,

    • Average annual production target of 116,000 oz Au, 440,000 oz Ag, 9,175 t Zn (141koz AuEq[1]

    • Global lowest-quartile C1[1] cash cost of US$527/oz (A$811) and AISC[2] of US$830/oz (A$1277);

    • An initial mine life of 7 years, with mineralisation open at depth potentially extending LOM;

    • Low-risk starter pit followed by conventional sub-level open stope (SLOS) underground mining;

    • Pre-tax NPV[5 ] US$409m ( A$629m ) at US$1,750/oz Au $20/oz silver (spot gold price US$1975);

    • Pre-tax NPV[5] increases to A$869m at current gold (US$2,035) and silver (US$23) prices;

    • Project IRR (Pre-Tax Real) of 75% and a breakeven gold price of US$983/oz.

  • Outstanding potential upside to the Scoping Study with several material opportunities for improvement under evaluation for inclusion in the final development plan including:

    • The recently confirmed conversion of the Au-Ag concentrate produced by the flotation circuit into doré on site, thereby reducing transport and TC/RC costs, and increasing payability

    • Inclusion of a heap leach, alongside a flotation, to capture value from the low-grade portion of the Hualilan orebody, which was excluded under the high-grade SS strategy

    • Reduction in the cut-off grade of zinc ore fed into the flotation circuit

    • Re-optimisation of both the underground and open pit (previously done at US$1700 Au) using lower cut-off grades supported by work subsequent to the completion of the SS

    • Reduction in open pit mining unit cost through owner-operator and bulk mining efficiencies.

  • Hualilan regional exploration program extended with several attractive new targets emerging.

El Guayabo/Colorado V Gold/Copper Projects - El Oro, Ecuador

  • The Company is awaiting the completion of an independent Project Report done to the standards required under the Canadian 43-101 reporting regime.

  • This 43-101 report will include an independent update the existing El Guayabo Mineral Resource Estimate.

ASX Release 31 January 2024

==> picture [132 x 97] intentionally omitted <==

Challenger Gold (ASX: CEL) (“ CEL ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to provide its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended 31 December 2023 (“Quarter”, “Reporting Period”).

During the Quarter the Company's completed its Scoping Study for the Hualilan Gold Project (refer ASX release 8 November 2023 titled "Hualilan Gold Project Scoping Study"). The study presents an initial economic evaluation of the project and suggests that the project could become one of the lowest-cost ASX producers, with a rapid payback period, and average annual production of 116,000 oz gold (141,000 oz gold equivalent[1] ) based on the Study production target. Notwithstanding the outstanding outcome of the Study, the Company has identified several clear, and potentially material, opportunities for optimisation and improvement which are currently under evaluation.

Cash at bank at the end of the quarter was $4.3 million in line with budget forecasts. During the quarter the company commenced a process aimed at procuring funding to complete the Hualian bankable Feasibility Study via either:

  • A Strategic Investor; or

  • Royalty or Stream Finance; or

  • Other forms of non-dilutive finance

The process is progressing well with several options currently being evaluated.

Net exploration expenditure for the quarter was $1.7 million, a 45% reduction from the September quarter on the back of a 25% reduction from the June quarter. A total of $565,000 of this spend was related to Ecuador which was primarily the cost of assays related to the channel sampling program, consultants for the preparation of an independent report under the Canadian 43-101 reporting regime and ongoing cost of the Ecuador exploration team. With the completion of this work ongoing spend in Ecuador is has reduced a further 30% into this quarter. Exploration spend for Argentina was primarily the Scoping Study of approximately $550,000 and geophysics, both of which are now complete, with the remainder for regional exploration expenditure and consultants and employees. Accordingly, spend in Argentina has continued to reduce into the current quarter.

Net spend during the quarter was $2.7 million which included the exploration net spend of $1.7 million and Administration and Corporate costs of $1.0M. The $1.0M administration and corporate costs, with no significant costs outside of those expected related to an ASX listed Company, with staff costs of $69k and exploration staff costs ($178k) to related parties and their associates. The Company benefited from its cost reduction program which has achieved considerable cost savings across all operations and corporate and is ongoing. The current quarter will be the first quarter that captures all cost saving measures.

On the 28 November 2023, the Company announced the appointment of Dr Sonia Delgado as an Executive Director. Dr Delgado is based in Argentina and over a distinguished career in the Argentinian public sector, has occupied positions including, Assistant Office of the State Prosecutor of the Province of San Juan; Undersecretary of Planning and Promotion of Mining Development and, most recently, Secretary of Mining for the province of San Juan, Argentina.

HUALILAN GOLD PROJECT - ARGENTINA

HUALILAN SCOPING STUDY ( Refer to ASX Release 8 November 2023)

During the Quarter, the Company announced the outcomes of the Hualilan Scoping Study ("the Study "). The study presented an initial economic evaluation of the project and suggests that the project could become one of the lowest-cost ASX producers, with a rapid payback period, and average annual production of 116,000 oz Au, 440,000 oz Ag, 9,175 t Zn (141,000 oz gold equivalent[1] ) based on the Study production target.

The Study forecasts EBITDA of US$738m (A$1.1 billion) over Life of Mine (LOM) and a LOM All In Sustaining cash Cost (ASIC) of US$830/oz using gold price od US$1750/oz. Sensitivity analysis demonstrates the project would require a grade reduction or gold price reduction in the order of 44% to reach the breakeven gold price of US$953 from an NPV perspective.

A summary of the study financial outcomes provided in Table 1 with the key assumptions in Table 2. Complete study details are available in the Scoping Study which is included as an Annexure to the November 8th ASX release.

Notwithstanding the excellent outcome of the Study, the Company has identified several clear, and potentially material, opportunities for optimisation and improvement. Additionally, the Company is undertaking an external analysis of the projects carbon intensity, which will be released to the ASX upon completion.

Study Approach

The Hualilan Project has inherent optionality given that the Hualilan Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) starts at surface and contains a high grade core of 8.1 Mt at 5.0 g/t Au, 17.4 g/t Ag, 1.8% Zn at the underground optimisation cut-off grade of 2.37 g/t AuEq, within the larger MRE of 60.5 Mt at 1.1 g/t Au, 6.0 g/t Ag, 0.44% Zn.

The Study commenced using benchmarked costs provided by Mining Plus from a sub-set of their internal mining database, specifically originating from operations in Latin America. This allowed for a preliminary options assessment of:

  • Open-pit (OP) vs underground (UG) vs combination mining

  • Different potential processing flowsheets which considered multiple circuit combinations which included or excluded: gravity concentration, floatation (including FTL) and CIL

  • Multiple potential processing throughput rates; and

  • Approximate capital cost of various options.

An initial OP optimisation, using the aforementioned Mining Plus benchmarked unit costs from Latin America, indicated that potential exists for a large open pit which would take advantage of economies of scale. Initial pit optimisation using a mining cost of US$2.00/t, pit wall slopes of 55[o] on the east, and a US$1800 gold price generated a pit, which at Revenue Factor 71, recovered 47.6 Mt of mineralisation and delivered an undiscounted value of US$1.0B, with a further 2 Mt of high-grade mineralisation potentially mineable via underground methods below the optimised shell.

After considering these initial results and the associated capital costs, the Company took the decision to focus the Study on the high-grade core of the mineralisation. This decision was primarily made to ensure that CEL had a credible pathway to fund production via a development plan with a low upfront capital cost and a rapid payback. The present, challenging market conditions did not appear conducive to the Company’s ability to fund the higher capital cost (and/ or potentially longer payback period) required for the construction of a high-volume OP mine, despite it being likely that mine development could be staged to manage capital outflows.

A key part of the reasoning behind this decision was that the initial pit optimisation showed material levels of sensitivity to OP mining unit cost and to pit slope angle, particularly on the eastern side of the pit where the Hualilan hills would need to be pioneered and mined back. The geotechnical data required to support a 55[o] overall pit slope in the limestone unit of the Hualilan Hills was not available, and beyond the scope of the study. It should be noted that overall pit slopes greater than 55[o] are commonly observed in nearby limestone quarries.

Finally, the possibility of a low-grade heap leach as an additional processing stream was unable to be evaluated due to long-lead (90 day) metallurgical column test work in progress at the time of this release. Heap leaching is potentially an important opportunity to consider as studies continue as it could provide a low cost pathway to process the low-grade mineralisation via a large open pit.

Mine Design and Production Target

The Study mine plan was designed to supply Potential Mining Inventory (PMI) to the processing plant at a rate of approximately 1 Mtpa. The mine design is comprised of three high-grade starter open pits( North, Central, and South) which will be mined using conventional excavator and truck techniques over 4 years by a mining contractor. It was necessary to include a starter pit as an underground startup would not provide sufficient waste material for the construction of the Tailings Storage Facility (TSF). Additionally, a starter pit offers a reduced production risk profile in the early year of operation.

Owner-operated underground mining was modelled on the basis of sub-level open stoping (SLOS), with a 30 m crown pillar between the pit floor and the upper most underground stope. Based on the available geotechnical data, and on similar operations, the following stoping assumptions were used for the UG mine design:

  • Level spacing (floor to floor) - 20 m;

  • Strike length (regardless of stope width) - 20 m;

  • Minimum stoping width - 2.5 m; and

  • Minimum crown pillar of 30 m below the designed open pits.

Hualilan will utilise paste backfill and as such there are no further requirements for UG pillars . The three underground portals have been located outside the open pits to decouple the UG development schedule from OP production rates and to provide flexibility to start underground development earlier. This was a critical factor in the earlier trade off studies that negatively affected the NPV of the combined open pit and underground options, with underground mining unable to commence prior to the completion of open pit mining creating material impact to NPV.

During the pre-production year, PMI will be extracted from the pit and stockpiled, and waste will be sent to TSF for construction of the first embankment lift, which will initially store two years of processing production. Underground mining will also commence at the start of the pre-production year in the north and south UG zones. In the first year of production, the plant will be fed with PMI from the stockpiles (SP), open pit and underground. From the second year onwards, the plant will be supplied with PMI primarily coming from the underground mine.

When processing commences there will be approximately 655 kt of PMI on stockpiles, which is equivalent to approximately 7 months mill feed, and approximately 400 kt of this is high-grade SP. This also opens the possibility to commence processing earlier if construction and commissioning is completed ahead of schedule. The underground mine plan has three operating areas (north, central and south), each of which are capable of being scaled up in response to production issues in another. There is also scope to share equipment between the 3 underground mining areas, however this option has not been included in the Scoping Study analysis.

A breakdown of the PMI schedule for processing across the life of the project is shown in Figure 1. Over 80% of the PMI schedule for processing in classified as Indicated Resource, with the balance classified as Inferred Resource. In the early years of production the percentage of Indicated Resource processed is higher, with an average of 88% Indicated Resource scheduled for processing in the first 3 years of plant operation.

At the completion of the SS production plan the unmined component of the Hualilan Project MRE is:

53.5Mt at 1.0g/t AuEq (0.8 g/t Au, 4.9 g/t Ag, 0.32% Zn, 0.06% Pb) - containing 1.7 Moz AuEq

Capital Costs

The capital cost estimate was prepared by Mining Plus and a number of independent external consultants retained by CEL. There was limited use of benchmarking, with costs generally sourced from vendor quotes/ indicative prices, or detailed first principal cost analysis using vendor quotes based on the preliminary project design. Where benchmarking was used to provide any capital costs the primary source was the Mining Plus internal cost database, augmented by Challenger’s consultants databases. Where benchmarking was used to provide capital cost estimates this was specifically stated.

The cost estimate is expressed in Q3 2023 US$ and used the USD/ARS exchange rate at the time the quotation was provided (average 200 ARS/USD) for any in-country costs provided in ARS. In practice in Argentina most cost quotes are generally provided in USD and converted into ARS based on the

Total capital costs are US$133.7 million, not including US$18.4 million of capitalised mining costs. Total Pre-development capital costs of US$152.1 million are summarised in Table 4. More complete details of pre-development capital costs are provided in the Chapter 24 of the Scoping Study.

Operating Costs

The operating cost estimates in the Study are based on: contractor operated truck and excavator open pit mining; owner operated underground mining via longitudinal SLOS with paste backfill; processing which includes gravity recovery, conventional flotation and with Floatation Tail Leach (FTL); and, deposition of the tails not consumed in the paste backfill process in a Tailing Storage Facility (TSF).

Operating cost estimates have generally been derived from first principles costs analysis prepared by external consultants, rather than by benchmarking. These cost estimates include local labour rates derived from San Juan industry standards, costs sourced by vendor/ supplier quotations both in Argentina and externally, and productivity rates that reflect the local workforce and conditions. Unless otherwise stated in this ASX Release or the Annexure Scoping Study Report the operating cost estimates have an expected accuracy range of ±15%.

The operating estimate is expressed in Q3 US$ and used USD/ARS exchange rate at the time the quotation was provided for any in country costs provided in ARS. In practice, in Argentina, most quotes are generally provided in USD and converted into ARS based on the prevailing USD/ARS. This includes diesel, equipment hire for both general and specialised mining equipment, reagents and consumables. The exceptions are Government provided services such as grid power and in-country labour. Generally, the rate of increase in the ARS price tracks the decline in the ARS/USD rate for power and labour, however there is a 1-3 month lag in the repricing of ARS denominated costs. For any ARS denominated input costs, such as grid power and labour, Challenger has used the 2022H2/2023H1 prices, as converting the current local ARS costs into a USD denominated price at the prevailing ARS rate would artificially lower these input costs on a USD basis.

Underground Mining Costs

Table 5 provides a breakdown of the underground mining costs which were derived from a detailed first principles analysis prepared by external underground mining consultants via a bottom up analysis. The mine operating cost estimate included the costs associated with stope preparation, drilling, blasting, ground support, backfill, underground loading and hauling and material transport to the primary crusher on surface, as well as support and ancillary equipment operations and maintenance, power, direct labour, and mine operations supervision staff.

Process Costs

The process operating cost estimate accounts for the operating and maintenance costs associated with the process plant operation, supporting services, infrastructure, and tailings filtering. Operating costs associated with the paste backfill plant are included in the mine operating cost estimate.

Process plant operating costs have been estimated by Challenger’s consulting metallurgists from first principles, using mechanical equipment specifications for estimation of power consumption, metallurgical test-work for reagent and grinding media consumption estimates, preliminary labour schedules and salary build‐ups for process labour and maintenance labour. The cost of spares was estimated as a fixed percentage of 5% of the mechanical equipment supply cost.

Quotations for consumables such as reagents, lime, binder and grinding media were obtained from suppliers inclusive of transportation to site. A unit power cost of US$0.07/ kWh was assumed with power consumption based on the results of comminution testing and desired grind size. An allowance equal to the power usage of the comminution circuit was applied to the rest of the process plant. Grid power is currently US$0.06/ kWh in San Juan.

The PMI feed has been divided into three separate categories based on gold and zinc grades. Each type of PMI has a slightly different flow sheet:

  1. Type A material - the lower grade PMI containing <1.5 g/t Au and <1.5% Zn (Type A) processed via bulk flotation with cleaning stages.

  2. Type B material - The higher grade PMI ≥1.5 g/t Au with <1.5% Zn (Type B) follows the same flow sheet as Ore Type A with the addition of flotation tails leach (FTL).

  3. Type C material - For the PMI containing ≥1.5% Zn (Type C) a stage of Pb-Cu rougher flotation and Zn flotation is added.

slightly different flowsheets, the three types of PMI have different reagent consumption which drives process costs. Annual and LOM operating costs for the process and surface infrastructure for the three types of PMI are shown in Table 6, Table 7 and Table 8 (previous page).

Opportunities

The Company has identified several clear and material opportunities for improvement of the Scoping Study outcome which are currently under evaluation. These include:

  • A low-grade zinc concentration pathway, based on a recent flotation test on a composite grading 0.36% Zn which produced a saleable Zn concentrate grading 48% Zn. Based on prior flotation test work, an assumption was used in the Study that an economic zinc concentrate was only achievable from at a grade >1.5% Zn. The MRE contains approximately 267,000t of zinc of which only 70,000t is accessed in the Scoping Study mine plan. The ability to economically recover part of the additional 197,000t of zinc in the MRE could significantly enhance economics, given the recovered portion of the ~70,000t of zinc generates US$132m revenue based on the Study forecasts.

  • Further improvement to the underground stope optimisation, development sequence and production scheduling. The underground stope optimisation was undertaken using an assumption of US$1700/oz gold. Additionally, some improvements in production and development unit costs in the order of 10-20% have already been identified in the intervening period since running the stope optimisation. These improvements in production and development costs are yet to be incorporated into the optimisation, and are likely to result in additional stopes being included in the mine plan. Additionally, optimisation included a Pseudoflow analysis on the underground design to remove uneconomic areas that sit above the stope cut-off grade. Pseudoflow removed 832kt containing 72,000 oz AuEq[3] from the underground mine plan that may be profitable at current spot prices and revised operating costs.

  • The improvement in underground optimisation includes reviewing the staging of development during the pre-production period to optimise CAPEX whilst trading off against ensuring access to the highest value stopes in early phases of the UG mine.

  • Recovery of the 30-metre crown pillar design which has been left between the base of the open pits and the underground workings. This crown pillar design contains approximately 15,000 Oz AuEq[3] . The study currently assumes no recovery of this crown pillar, however additional geotechnical information may support the recovery of this crown pillar.

  • Inclusion of a heap leaching option which provides a process path for a significant proportion (~50%) of the MRE that was excluded in the high-grade/ low-tonnage SS production model. Preliminary column testing on a low-grade composite yielded promising results. As a result of this, a panel of column tests were initiated to test the three material types separately at a range of different head grades. Results from this current panel of column tests will not be available until December 2023, but a positive outcome has potential to add significant value to the project.

  • Reduction in open pit mining unit cost through owner-operator and bulk mining efficiencies. A unit cost of US$3.00/ t was assumed for the Study, initially as a conservative estimate based

on the predicted reduced scale of the open pit operation, and later to account for contractor premiums. However, preliminary first-principles cost modelling by the Company, and discussions with equipment vendors around collaboration and operating partnerships, indicates that an owner operated unit cost around US$2.00/ t may be achievable at scale. This impact of a reduced mining unit cost is even more pronounced in a high-volume mining scenario that incorporates a low-grade heap leach. This cost estimate is supported by localised benchmarking at other owner-operator OP mines in Argentina.

  • Potential processing of the Au-Ag concentrate on site to produce gold and silver dore via high intensity leach. This could remove costs associated with the transport and treatment (TC/RC) of the forecast LOM production of 412kt of Au-Ag concentrate and improve payability.

On site upgrading of Au-Ag Concentrate to Dore

Subsequent to the Scoping Study the Company reported results from a metallurgical testwork program undertaken to evaluate the opportunity to upgrade the Au-Ag concentrate produced in the Hualilan bulk flotation circuit into doré.

The process route for the Hualian Gold Project involves crushing, milling, gravity recovery of gold, conventional flotation, and flotation tailings leach (FTL). This produces a high-grade Zn-Au-Ag concentrate, a high-grade Pb-Au-Ag concentrate, gold-silver doré, and an Au-Ag concentrate.

The majority of the gold and silver produced at Hualilan is via the Au-Ag concentrate, which comprises the cleaner Au-Ag concentrate combined with the gravity-recovered-gold (GRG) concentrate. This combined Au-Ag concentrate contains approximately 81% of the forecast annual production of 116 koz Au and 65% of the annual 440 koz Ag. The Au-Ag concentrate will likely be sold to off-takers in Asia, with forecast costs of US$150/t to transport the concentrate, and concentrate Treatment and Refining charges (TC/RC's) of approximately US$100/t.

Thus, the ability to produce gold-silver doré bars onsite will remove the transport and TC/RC costs associated with the 412,000 t of Au-Ag concentrate produced over the Scoping Study LOM, thereby significantly improving project economics. Additionally, the payability for doré (99.5% Au and 97.5% Ag) compares favourably to the forecast payability of the Au-Ag concentrate (95% Au and 60% Ag).

The Company has identified a low-cost and simple process option which would potentially allow for doré production on site from the Au-Ag concentrate. This involves a fine grind of the Au-Ag concentrate, followed by an intensive cyanide leach cycle to recover the Au and Ag, with the pregnant leach solution (PLS) containing the Au and Ag added to the existing carbon-in-leach (CIL) circuit, which is required for the FTL process.

To test this potential process option, a representative sample of the Au-Ag concentrate was prepared from a combination of Au-Ag cleaner concentrates which were produced during flotation test-work. Two charges of this representative Au-Ag cleaner concentrate underwent an intensive leach at SGS Laboratories in Lakefield. The first sample at the existing size of 40 µm P80 grind and the second at 16.7 µm P80 grind. The results are outlined in Table 9 below. The recovery of 96% of the gold from the

concentrate at 16.7-micron grind indicates an increase in overall Au payability from 95% via the concentrate to 95.75% via the doré option.

Operating costs associated with the fine grind and the intensive leach cycle, including cyanide consumption of 30.7 kg NaCN/t of concentrate processed, are anticipated to be less than US$100/t Au-Ag concentrate. This will result in a net cost saving of at least US$150/t, in addition to the uplift in Au payability. Additional testwork, including a pre-oxidation stage, is expected to further reduce the reagent consumption and associated costs of the intensive leach.

The results for Ag recovery remain pending, however any recovery above the 60% payability for Ag in the Au-Ag concentrate provides additional upside. The gravity-recovered-gold concentrate will also be converted to doré on site, likely via an Acacia reactor. The CAPEX and OPEX associated with this will be minor, considering the small amount (3.5 kt of GRG concentrate) that will be processed annually.

Next Steps

Next steps to add to the robustness of the current project and provide a pathway for future development for the project include:

  • Analysis of the results for the suite of Column Leach tests are currently underway, which will allow for an assessment of the viability of Heap Leach as a potential processing pathway for the low-grade mineralisation. Additionally, a second suite of Column leach tests at half and one inch crush sizes has commenced with the results of these 90-day tests due in April;

  • Completion of additional flotation testing on the potential low-grade zinc concentration pathway;

  • Completion of additional flotation testing, including locked-cycle and variability test work, which will be required to provide sufficient data for the PFS;

  • Additional intensive-leach tests on the representative concentrate sample to optimise for grind size and reagent consumption against Au-Ag recovery. This will allow the Company to maximise the improvement in projected economics from the production of doré on site..

  • Development of a detailed first-principles open pit mining cost model, in collaboration with equipment vendors, to evaluate the potential owner operated bulk mining efficiencies;

  • Completion of a suite of CIL test work (with dual-laboratory verification) to allow Au and Ag recoveries and NACN consumption to be modelled for both the high-grade and low-grade mineralisation, thereby allowing for a definitive evaluation of the CIL processing option;

REGIONAL EXPLORATION PROGRAM

During the Quarter, the Company continued its "Regional" exploration program at Hualilan. This Regional Program is designed to explore for potential Hualilan repeats, initially along the 30 kilometres of prospective strike near the contact between the intrusives and sediments, the zone that hosts the current Hualilan MRE.

During the quarter the program was extended for a third time due to encouraging results. With several new targets developing. These new targets include:

  • A gold In soil anomaly approximately 4 kilometres north of and on strike with the current MRE where coincident surface mineralisation in limestones has been Identified

  • Gold anomalies on two of the three reconnaissance Ion Leach traverses 5 kilometers northeast and 6 kilometers southeast of the current MRE

  • A 3-kilometre copper anomaly some 10 kilometers southeast of Hualilan which is coincident on the only two Ion Leach traverses in the area

EL GUAYABO GOLD AND COLORADO V GOLD/COPPER PROJECT - ECUADOR

43-101 Technical Report

During the quarter the Company commissioned an Independent technical report on the Project done in accordance with the National Instrument 43-101 which sets out the requirements for the preparation and content of a technical report in Canda. This report will incorporate an updated Mineral Resource Estimate done in compliance with the 43-101 framework.

Rock-Saw Channel Sampling Program

The surface rock-saw Channel Sampling program has been designed to test for the extensions of mineralisation to surface in the upper 200 metres of the GY-A anomaly which forms a steep hill.

The rock-saw sampling is completed using a rock saw to cut and recover a continuous channel measuring approximately 4cm x 4cm along any outcrop. The 4cm x 4cm sample weight averages 4.8 kg per metre, approximately the same as the NQ sized drill core in the El Guayabo Project drill program. The samples are logged and submitted for assay with QAQC samples (duplicates, blanks, and standards) using the same procedure as drill core. This program has been completed with assays for the final 25% of the program pending.

Surface Mapping

During the quarter surface mapping continued north-east of the CV-A and CV-B anomalies on the Colorado V concession. Mapping indicated the extension of alteration and breccia bodies along strike from CV-A (results include 528.7m at 0.5 g/t AuEq[2 ] - 0.3 g/t Au, 2.0 g/t Ag, 0.1 % Cu including 397.1m at 0.6 g/t AuEq[2 ] - 0.3 g/t Au, 2.8 g/t Ag, 0.1% Cu ) and CV-B (results include 570.0m at 0.4 g/t AuEq[2] - 0.2 g/t Au, 2.0 g/t Ag, 0.1% Cu including 306.0m at 0.5 g/t AuEq[2] - 0.2 g/t Au, 2.3 g/t Ag, 0.1% Cu ) and the tenement boundary with Lumina Golds Cangrejos deposit. .

Surface mapping in the vicinity of the CV-D and CV-E anomalies has indicated the presence of outcropping breccia which appears consistent with the breccia's containing higher-grade mineralisation at GY-A and GY-B in the current MRE. This breccia has been identified over approximately 200 square meters at surface with the interpreted steeply plunging breccia body not validly tested by the three exploration holes drilled at CV-D and CV-E. This program remains ongoing. Ends

About Challenger Gold

Challenger Gold Limited’s (ASX: CEL) aspiration is to become a globally significant gold producer. The Company is developing two complementary gold/copper projects in South America with the Company's flagship Hualilan Gold Project in San Juan, Argentina containing resources of 2.8 million ounces gold equivalent .

The Company strategy is for the 100% owned Hualilan Gold Project to provide a high-grade low capex operation in the near term while it prepares for larger bulk gold operation at El Guayabo in Ecuador.

  1. Hualilan Gold Project , located in San Juan Province Argentina, is a near term development opportunity. It has extensive drilling with over 150 historical and almost 900 CEL drill-holes. The Company has released a JORC 2012 Compliant resource of 2.8 Moz AuEq which remains open in most directions. This resource contains a high-grade core 9.9 Mt at 5.0 g/t AuEq for 1.6 Moz AuEq and 29.1Mt at 2.2 g/t AuEq for 2.4 Moz AuEq within a larger MRE of 60.6 Mt at 1.4 g/t AuEq for 2.8 Moz AuEq. The resource was based on approximately 240,000 metres of CEL drilling. Drill results have included 6.1m @ 34.6 g/t Au, 21.9 g/t Ag, 2.9% Zn , 67.7m @ 7.3 g/t Au, 5.7 g/t Ag, 0.6% Zn, and 63.3m @ 8.5 g/t Au, 7.6 g/t Ag, 2.8% Zn . This drilling intersected high-grade gold over 3.5 kilometres of strike and extended the known mineralisation along strike and at depth in multiple locations. The high-grade skarn mineralisation is underlain by a significant intrusionhosted gold system with intercepts including 209.0m at 1.0 g/t Au, 1.4 g/t Ag, 0.1% Zn and 110.5m at 2.5 g/t Au, 7.4 g/t Au, 0.90% Zn in intrusives. The Hualilan Scoping Study demonstrates production of 116,000 oz Au, 440,000 oz Ag, 9175t Zn (141,000 oz AuEq) at an ASIC of US$830/oz over an Initial 7 year mine life. CEL's current program will include a Pre-Feasibility Study, and regional exploration along the previously unexplored 30 kilometres of prospective stratigraphy.

  2. El Guayabo Gold/Copper Project covers 35 sq kms in southern Ecuador and is located 5 kilometres along strike from the 20.5 million ounce Cangrejos Gold Project[1] . Prior to CEL the project was last drilled by Newmont Mining in 1995 and 1997 targeting gold in hydrothermal breccias. Historical drilling demonstrated potential to host significant gold and associated copper and silver mineralisation. Historical drilling has returned a number of intersections including 156m @ 2.6 g/t Au, 9.7 g/t Ag, 0.2% Cu and 112m @ 0.6 % Cu, 0.7 g/t Au, 14.7 g/t Ag which have never been followed up. CEL's maiden drilling program confirmed the discovery of a major Au-Cu-Ag-Mo gold system spanning several zones of significant scale. The Company has drilled thirteen regionally significant Au-soil anomalies with over 500 metres of mineralisation intersected at seven of these thirteen anomalies, confirming the potential for a major bulk gold system at El Guayabo. The Company reported a maiden 4.5 Moz gold equivalent MRE . This MRE is based on 34 drill holes, for 22,572 metres, from the Company's Phase 1 and 2 diamond core drill program at its 100% owned El Guayabo concession. The drilling has focussed on 2 of the 7 anomalies that have returned plus 500 metre drill intercepts and mineralisation remains open in all directions.

Commentary
for the rock being sampled and compares well with the expected weight for ½ cut HQ3 drill core of 4.1 kg/m.
A possible relationship has been observed in historic drilling between sample recovery and Au Ag or Zn values whereby
low recoveries have resulted lower reported values. Historic core recovery data is incomplete. Core recovery is influenced
by the intensity of natural fracturing in the rock. A positive correlation between recovery and RQD has been observed.
The fracturing is generally post mineral and not directly associated with the mineralisation.

-
The total length and percentage of

For CEL drilling, all the core (100%) is photographed and logged for recovery, RQD, weathering, lithology, alteration,
mineralization, and structure to a level that is suitable for geological modelling, Mineral Resource Estimation and
metallurgical test work. RC drill chips are logged for geology, alteration and mineralisation to a level that is suitable for
geological modelling resource estimation and metallurgical test work. Where possible logging is quantitative. Geological
logging is done into MS Excel in a format that can readily be cross-checked and is back-up transferred to a secure, offsite,
cloud-based database which holds all drill hole logging sample and assay data.
No specialist geotechnical logging has been undertaken.
Detailed logs are available for most of the historical drilling. Some logs have not been recovered. No core photographs
from the historic drilling have been found. No drill core has survived due to poor storage and neglect. No historic RC
sample chips have been found.

CEL samples have been submitted to the MSA laboratory in San Juan, the ALS laboratory in Mendoza and the former SGS
laboratory in San Juan for sample preparation. The sample preparation technique is considered appropriate for the style
of mineralization present in the Project.
Sample sizes are appropriate for the mineralisation style and grain size of the deposit.
Sample intervals are selected based on lithology, alteration, and mineralization boundaries. Representative samples of all
of the core are selected. Sample length averages 1.74m. Second-half core or ¼ core samples have been submitted for a
mineralised interval in 1 drill hole only and for some metallurgical samples. The second half of the core samples has been
retained in the core trays for future reference.
Competent drill core is cut longitudinally using a diamond saw for sampling of ½ the core. Softer core is split using a wide
blade chisel or a manual core split press. The geologist logging the core, marks where the saw cut or split is to be made to
ensure half-core sample representivity.
From GNDD073 and later holes, duplicate core samples consisting of two ¼ core samples over the same interval have been
collected approximately every 30-50m drilled.

Final sample assay analyses are received by digital file in PDF and CSV format. There is no adjustment made to any of the
assay values received. The original files are backed-up and the data copied into a cloud-based drill hole database, stored
offsite from the project. The data is remotely accessible for geological modelling and resource estimation.
Assay results summarised in the context of this report have been rounded appropriately to 2 significant figures. No assay
data have been otherwise adjusted. Replicate assay of 186 coarse reject samples from 2019 drilling has been done to
verify assay precision. Original core samples were from the 2019 DD drilling which were analysed by MSA (San Juan
preparation and Vancouver analysis). Coarse reject samples were analysed by ALS (Mendoza preparation and Vancouver
analysis). The repeat analysis technique was identical to the original. The repeat analyses correlate very closely with the
original analyses providing high confidence in precision of results between MSA and ALS. A summary of the results for the

zone 19s.
Following completion of the channel sampling, the location of the channel samples is surveyed from a survey mark at the
entrance to the underground workings, located using differential GPS. The locations have been surveyed in POSGAR 2007
zone 2 and converted to WGS84 UTM zone 19s.

Diamond core drill holes up to GNDD390 are surveyed down-hole at 30-40m intervals down hole using a down-hole
compass and inclinometer tool. RC drill holes and diamond core holes from GNDD391 were continuously surveyed down
hole using a gyroscope to avoid magnetic influence from the drill string and rocks. The gyroscope down-hole survey data is
recorded in the drill hole database at 10m intervals.
Ten diamond drill holes have no down hole survey data due to drill hole collapse or blockage of the hole due to loss of
drilling equipment. These are GNDD036, 197, 212, 283, 376, 423, 425, 439, 445 and 465. For these holes, a survey of the
collar has been used with no assumed deviation to the end of the hole.
All current and previous drill collar sites, Minas corner pegs and strategic surface points have been surveyed using DGPS to
provide topographic control for the Project. In addition, AWD3D DTM model with a nominal 2.5 metre precision has been
acquired for the project and greater surrounding areas. Drone-based topographic survey data with 0.1 meter precision is
being acquired over the project to provide more detail where required.

Intermittent historic sampling has produced a large volume of information and data including sampling,
geological maps, reports, trenching data, underground surveys, drill hole results, geophysical surveys, non-JORC
resource estimates plus property examinations and detailed studies by multiple geologists. Prior to exploration
by CEL, no work has been completed on the Project since 2006.
There is at least 6 km of underground workings that pass through mineralised zones at Hualilan. Surveys of the
workings are likely to be incomplete. Commonly incomplete records of the underground geology and sampling
have been compiled and digitised as has sample data geological mapping adit exposures and drill hole results.
Historic geophysical surveys exist but have been superseded by surveys completed by CEL.
Historic drilling on or near the Hualilan Project (Cerro Sur and Cerro Norte combined) extends to over 150 drill
holes. The key historical exploration drilling and sampling programs are:
-
1984 – Lixivia SA channel sampling & 16 RC holes (AG1-AG16) totalling 2,040m
-
1995 - Plata Mining Limited (TSE: PMT) 33 RC holes (Hua- 1 to 33) + 1,500 RC chip samples
-

Geology - Deposit type geological setting and style Mineralisation occurs in all rock types where it preferentially replaces limestone, shale and sandstone and occurs
of mineralisation. in fault zones and in fracture networks within dacitic intrusions.
The mineralisation is Zn-(Pb-Cu-Ag) distal skarn (or manto-style skarn) overprinted with vein-hosted
mesothermal to epithermal Au-Ag mineralisation. It has been divided into three phases – prograde skarn,
retrograde skarn and a later quartz-rich mineralisation consistent with the evolution of a large hydrothermal
system. Precise mineral paragenesis and hydrothermal evolution is the subject of on-going work which is being
used for exploration and detailed geometallurgical test work.
Gold occurs in native form as inclusions with sulphide (predominantly pyrite) and in pyroxene. The
mineralisation commonly contains pyrite, chalcopyrite sphalerite and galena with rare arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite
and magnetite.
Mineralisation is either parallel to bedding in bedding-parallel faults, in veins or breccia matrix within fractured
dacitic intrusions, at lithology contacts or in east-west striking steeply dipping siliceous faults that cross the
bedding at a high angle. The faults have thicknesses of 1–4 metres and contain abundant sulphides. The
intersection between the bedding-parallel mineralisation and east-striking cross veins seems to be important in
localising the mineralisation.
Complete oxidation of the surface rock due to weathering is thin. A partial oxidation / fracture oxidation layer
near surface is 1 to 40m thick and has been modelled from drill hole intersections.

All relevant variables; Au, Ag, Pb, Zn, Fe and S in each domain were estimated using Ordinary Kriging using only
data from within that domain. The orientation of the search ellipse and variogram model was controlled using
surfaces designed to reflect the local orientation of the mineralized structures.
An oriented “ellipsoid” search for each domain was used to select data for interpolation.
A 3 pass estimation search was conducted, with expanding search ellipsoid dimensions and decreasing minimum
number of samples with each successive pass. First passes were conducted with ellipsoid radii corresponding to
40% of the complete range of variogram structures for the variable being estimated. Pass 2 was conducted with
60% of the complete range of variogram structures for the variable being estimated. Pass 3 was conducted with
dimensions corresponding to 200% of the semi-variogram model ranges. Blocks within the model where Au was
not estimated during the first 3 passes were assigned as unclassified. Blocks for Ag, Pb, Zn, Fe and S that were not
estimated were assigned the average values on a per-domain basis.
Validation checks included statistical comparison between drill sample grades and Ordinary Kriging block estimate
results for each domain. Visual validation of grade trends for each element along the drill sections was also
completed in addition to swath plots comparing drill sample grades and model grades for northings, eastings and
elevation. These checks showgood correlation between estimated blockgrades and drill samplegrades.

parameters quality parameters applied. Ag US$24 /oz, Zn US$ 4,000 /t and Pb US 2,000/t.
Average metallurgical recoveries for Au, Ag, Zn and Pb have been estimated from the results of Stage 1
metallurgical test work completed by SGS Metallurgical Operations in Lakefield, Ontario using a combination of
gravity and flotation combined metallurgical samples as detailed in the Criteria below.
For the AuEq calculation average metallurgical recovery is estimated as 94.9% for gold, 90.9% for silver, 67.0% for
Zn and 57.8% for Pb.
Accordingly, the formula used for Au Equivalent is: AuEq (g/t) = Au (g/t) + [Ag (g/t) x (24/1900) x (0.909/0.949)] +
[Zn (%) x (40.0031.1/1900) x (0.670/0.949)] + (Pb (%) x 20.0031.1/1900) x (0.578/.9490}.
Based on the break-even grade for an optimised pit shell for gold equivalent, a AuEq cut-off grade of 0.30 ppm is
used to report the resource within an optimised pit shell run at a gold price of US$1,800 per ounce and allowing for
Ag, Zn and Pb credits. Under this scenario, blocks with a grade above the 0.30 g/t Au Eq cut off are considered to
have reasonable prospects of mining by open pit methods.
A AuEq cut-off grade of 1.0 ppm was used to report the resource beneath the optimised pit shell run as these
blocks are considered to have reasonableprospects of future miningbyunderground methods.

5. two re-cleaning stages of the Pb/Cu rougher concentrate,
6. four re-cleaning Sages on the Zn rougher concentrate, and
7. additional gravity recovery stages added to the Zn Rougher concentrate
This results in the following products that are likely to be saleable
- Au-Ag concentrate (118 g/t Au, 286 g/t Ag) with low deleterious elements,
- Pb concentrate (65% Pb, 178 g/t Au, 765 g/t Ag) with low deleterious elements, and
- Zn concentrate (51% Zn, 10 g/t Au, 178 g/t Ag) with low deleterious elements, relatively high Cd, but at a
level that is unlikely to attract penalties.
- tailing grades of 2 to 3 g/t Au which respond to intensive cyanide leach with recoveries of 70-80% of any
residual gold and silver to a gold doré bar.
Two intensive leach tests of Au-Ag concentrate to doré have been completed using a representative sample of
the Au-Ag concentrate. One split of the sample was finely ground to p80 of 16.7 μm and the second split
finely ground to p80 of 40 μm. The 16.7 μm sample returned a recovery of 96.0% Au and the 40 μm sample
returned a recovery of 92.8% Au. These results provide an option to eliminate concentrate transport costs and
increase payability for the Au-Ag concentrate.
Gravity recovery and flotation tests of the intrusive-hosted mineralisation involved;
1. primary P80 = 120-80 micron primary grind,
2. gravity recovery,
3. single stage rougher sulphide flotation,
4. P80 = 20-30 micron regrind of the rougher concentrate (5-10% mass),
5. one or two re-cleaning stages of the Au-Ag Rougher concentrate
At primary grind of p80 = 76 micron and regrind of p80 = 51 micron an Au-Ag concentrate can be produced
grading 54 g/t Au and 284 g/t Ag with total recoveries of 97% (Au) and 85% (Ag).
One test of a sediment hosted composite sample (5-10% of the mineralisation at the Project) was a repeat of
the testing done on the intrusive-hosted mineralisation. This produced an Au-Ag concentrate grading 23.6 g/t
Au and 234 g/t Ag at total recoveries of 85% (Au) and 87% (Ag). Further test work is likely to be done as part
of more detailed studies. It is likely that the concentrate produced from the sediment-hosted mineralisation
will be combined with the Au-Ag concentrate from the limestone and intrusive-hosted mineralisation.

may have occurred due to preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

In the historical drill logs where core recoveries were less than 100% the percentage core recovery was noted.
No documentation on the methods to maximise sample recovery was reported in historical reports however
inspection of the available core and historical drilling logs indicate that core recoveries were generally 100% with
the exception of the top few metres of each drill hole.
No material bias has presently been recognised in core.
Observation of the core from various drill holes indicate that the rock is generally fairly solid even where it has
been subjected to intense, pervasive hydrothermal alteration and core recoveries are generally 100%.
Consequently, it is expected that the samples obtained were not unduly biased by significant core losses either
during the drilling or cutting processes
Colorado V:
Core from Goldking has been re-boxed prior to sampling where boxes have deteriorated, otherwise the original
boxes have been retained. Core lengths have been measured and compared to the depth tags that are kept in
the boxes from the drilling and recovered lengths have been recorded with the logging.
Where re-boxing of the core is required, core has been placed in the new boxes, row-by row with care taken to
ensure all of the core has been transferred.
No relationship has been observed between core recovery and sample assay values.
Logging - Whether core and chip samples have been All drill current drill core and all available historic drill core has been logged qualitatively and quantitatively
geologically and geotechnically logged to a where appropriate. All core logged has been photographed after logging and before sampling.

Re-sampling of the core involves cutting of ¼ core (where previously sampled) or ½ core where not previously

evaluate the larger geochemical anomalies.
- The collection of all exploration data by Newmont and Odin was of a high standard and had appropriate sampling

- The geological interpretation of this data, including core logging and follow up geology was designed and directed by
in-country inexperienced geologists. It appears to have been focused almost exclusively for gold targeting surface gold
anomalies or the depth extensions of higher-grade gold zones being exploited by the artisanal miners. The geologic
logs for all drill holes did not record details that would have been typical, industry standards for porphyry copper
exploration at that time. Several holes which ended in economic mineralisation have never been followed up.
- In short, important details which would have allowed the type of target to be better explored were missed which in
turn presents an opportunity to the current owner.

reasonable potential to be recovered and sold
Guayabo:
A cut-off grade of 0.1 g/t Au was used to report the assays of re-samples core and channel samples from underground
development with up to 10 metres of internal dilution below cut-off allowable for the reporting of significant intercepts,
consistent with a large low-grade mineralized system. Intersections that use a different cut-off are indicated.
Significant Historic intersections from El Guayabo drilling are shown below:

development with up to 10 metres of internal dilution below cut-off allowable for the reporting of significant intercepts,
consistent with a large low-grade mineralized system. Intersections that use a different cut-off are indicated.
Historic: Significant intersections from Colorado V drill hole results from re-sampling of available core:

-
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.
-
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’).
-
The geometry of the breccia hosted mineralisation appears to be predominantly near-vertical pipes while the geometry of the intrusive
hosted mineralisation is sub-vertical.
-
The preliminary interpretation is that the breccia hosted mineralisation occurs in near vertical breccia pipes. Thus, intersections in steeply
inclined holes may not be representative of the true width of this breccia hosted mineralisation. The relationship between the drilling
orientation and some of the key mineralised structures and possible reporting bias in terms of true width is illustrated in the figure below.

DCIP INVERSION PROCEDURES
DCIP is an electrical method that uses the injection of current and the measurement of voltage difference along with its rate
of decay to determine subsurface resistivity and chargeability respectively. Depth of investigation is mainly controlled by the
array geometry but may also be limited by the received signal (dependent on transmitted current) and ground resistivity.
Chargeability is particularly susceptible to data with a low signal-to-noise ratio. The differences in penetration depth between
DC resistivity and chargeability are a function of relative property contrasts and relative signal-to-noise levels between the
two measurements. A detailed introduction to DCIP is given in Telford, et al. (1976). The primary tool for evaluating data is
through the inversion of the data in two or three dimensions. An inversion model depends not only on the data collected,
but also on the associated data errors in the reading and the “model norm”. Inversion models are not unique and may contain
“artefacts” from the inversionprocess. The inversion model maynot accuratelyreflect all the information apparent in the

actual data. Inversion models must be reviewed in context with the observed data, model fit, and with an understanding of
the model norm used.
The DC and IP inversions use the same mesh. The horizontal mesh is set as 2 cells between electrodes. The vertical mesh is
designed with a cell thickness starting from 20 m for the first hundred metres to accommodate the topographic variation
along the profiles, and then increases logarithmically with depth. The inversions were generally run for a maximum of 50
iterations. The DC data is inverted using an unconstrained 2D inversion with a homogenous half-space of average input data
as starting model. For IP inversions, the apparent chargeability
is computed by carrying out two DC resistivity forward
models with conductivity distributions𝝈(𝒙𝒊,𝒛𝒋) and (𝟏−𝜼)𝝈(𝒙𝒊,𝒛𝒋) (Oldenburg and Li, 1994), where (𝒙𝒊,𝒛𝒋) specifies the
location in a 2D mesh. The conductivity distributions used in IP inversions can be the inverted DC model or a half space of
uniform conductivity. Two IP inversions are then calculated from the same data set and parameters using different reference
models. The first inversion of the IP data uses the previously calculated DC model as the reference model and is labelled the
IP dcref model. The second IP inversion uses a homogeneous half-space resistivity model as the reference model and is
labelled IP hsref model. This model is included to test the validity of chargeability anomalies, and to limit the possibility of
inversion artefacts in the IP model due to the use of the DC model as a reference. The results of this second IP inversion are
presented on the digital archived attached to this report.
MAGNETOTELLURIC INVERSIONS
The Magnetotelluric (MT) method is a natural source EM method that measures the variation of both the electric (E) and
magnetic (H) field on the surface of the earth to determine the distribution at depth of the resistivity of the underlying rocks.
A complete review of the method is presented in Vozoff (1972) and Orange (1989).
The measured MT impedance Z, defined by the ratio between the E and H fields, is a tensor of complex numbers. This tensor
is generally represented by an apparent resistivity (a parameter proportional to the modulus of Z) and a phase (argument of
Z). The variation of those parameters with frequency relates the variations of the resistivity with depth, the high frequencies
sampling the sub-surface and the low frequencies the deeper part of the earth. However, the apparent resistivity and the
phase have an opposite behaviour. An increase of the phase indicates a more conductive zone than the host rocks and is
associated with a decrease in apparent resistivity. The objective of the inversion of MT data is to compute a distribution of
the resistivity of the surface that explains the variations of the MT parameters, i.e. the response of the model that fits the
observed data. The solution however is not unique and different inversions must be performed (different programs, different
conditions) to test and compare solutions for artefacts versus a target anomaly.
An additional parameter acquired during MT survey is the Tipper. Tipper parameters Tzx and Tzy (complex numbers)
represent the transfer function between the vertical magnetic field and the horizontal X (Tzx), and Y (Tzy) magnetic fields
respectively (as the impedance Z represent the transfer function between the electric and magnetic fields). This tipper is a
‘local’ effect, mainly defined by the lateral contrast of the resistivity. Consequently, the tipper can be used to estimate the
geological strike direction. Another important use of the tipper is to display its components as vectors, named induction
vectors. The induction vectors (defined by the real components of Tzx and Tzy) plotted following the Parkinson-Real-Reverse-
Angle convention willpoint to conductive zones. The tipper is then agood mappingtool to delineate more conductive zones.

Commentary
The depth of investigation is determined primarily by the frequency content of the measurement. Depth estimates from any
individual sounding may easily exceed 20 km. However, the data can only be confidently interpreted when the aperture of
the array is comparable to the depth of investigation.
The inversion model is dependent on the data, but also on the associated data errors and the model norm. The inversion
models are not unique, may contain artefacts of the inversion process and may not therefore accurately reflect all the
information apparent in the actual data. Inversion models need to be reviewed in context with the observed data, model fit.
The user must understand the model norm used and evaluate whether the model is geologically plausible.
For this project, 2D inversions were performed on the TITAN/EMAP profiles data. For each profile, we assume the strike
direction is perpendicular to the profile for all sites: the TM mode is then defined by the inline E-field (and cross line H-
field); no TE mode (cross line E-field) were used in the 2D inversions.
The 2D inversions were performed using the TM-mode resistivity and phase data interpolated at 6 frequencies per decade,
assuming 10% and 5% error for the resistivity and phase respectively, which is equivalent to 5% error on the impedance
component Z. No static shift of the data has been applied on the data.
The 3D inversion was carried out using the CGG RLM-3D inversion code. The 3D inversions of the MT data were completed
over an area of approximately 5km x 3.5km. All MT sites from this current survey were used for the 3D inversion.
The 3D inversion was completed using a sub sample of the MT data with a maximum of 24 frequencies at each site covering
the measured data from 10 kHz to 0.01 Hz with a nominal 4 frequencies per decade. At each site, the complete MT complex
impedance tensors (Zxx, Zxy, Zyx, and Zyy) were used as input data with an associated error set to 5% on each parameter.
The measured tipper data (Tzx, Tzy) were also used as input data with an associated error set to 0.02 on each parameter. A
homogenous half space with resistivity of 100 Ohm-m was used as the starting model for this 3D MT inversion. A uniform
mesh with 75 m x 75 m cell size was used in horizontal directions in the resistivity model. The vertical mesh was defined to
cover the first 4 km. Padding cells were added in each direction to accommodate the inversion for boundary conditions. The
3D inversion was run for a maximum of 50 iterations.
In addition a total of 129 samples distributed along 12 holes were analysed to measure the resistivity (Rho (Ohmm) and
chargeability properties (Chargeability M and Susceptibility (SCPT 0.001 SI) . The equipment used for the analyses was the
Sample Core IP Tester, manufactured by Instrumentation GDD Inc. It should be noted that these measures should be taken

The potential quantity and grade of the Colorado V Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient
exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a
Mineral Resource.
The following is an explanation of the inputs used in formulating the Exploration Target.

Surface Area: The surface area of the target has been estimated by projecting drill hole gold significant intersections
vertically to the surface. The surface projection of the intersections in the drill holes coincides with the 100 ppb Au
gold-in-soil anomaly contour. This area has been used to estimate the horizontal extent of the mineralization.

Depth: A depth of 400 metres from surface has been used as an estimate of the depth that an open pit and
underground bulk tonnage mining project would be expected to extend. The mineralization at Colorado V is
controlled by steeply plunging / dipping intrusions and breccia which is expected to extend to at least 400m depth
from surface.

Bulk Density: The bulk density is based on geological observations of the rocks that host the mineralization. Typical
bulk densities for these rock types are in the range used.

Cut-off parameters - The basis of the adopted cut-off grade(s) or quality The following metals and metal prices have been used to report gold grade equivalent (AuEq): Au US$
parameters applied. 1800 / oz Ag US$22 /oz, Cu US$ 9,000 /t and Mo US 44,080/t.
Average metallurgical recoveries for Au, Ag, Zn and Pb have been estimated from similar projects in
Ecuador. No metallurgical test work has been completed on the mineralisation at El Guayabo.
For the AuEq calculation average metallurgical recovery is estimated as 85% for gold, 60% for silver, 85%
for Cu and 50% for Mo.
Accordingly, the formula used for Au Equivalent is:
AuEq = Au g/t + (Ag g/t x 0.01222 x [60/85]) + (Cu % x [90/57.8778] x {85/85]) + (Mo % x 440.8/57.8778) x
[50/85], or AuEq = Au g/t + (Ag g/t x 0.008627) + (Cu % x 1.555000) + (Mo % x 4.480026)
Based on the break-even grade for an optimised pit shell for gold equivalent, a AuEq cut-off grade of 0.30
ppm is used to report the resource within an optimised pit shell run at a gold price of US$1,800 per
ounce and allowing for Ag, Cu and Mo credits. Under this scenario, blocks with a grade above the 0.25
g/t Au Eq cut off are considered to have reasonable prospects of mining by open pit methods.
A AuEq cut-off grade of 0.40 ppm was used to report the resource beneath the optimised pit shell run as
