HIGH GRADE ZONE WIDENS AS CLASSIC DRILLS 17M @ 3.86 G/T AU IN DOWN-DIP EXTENSION AT LADY MAGDALENE DEPOSIT, FORRESTANIA GOLD PROJECT, WA

Highlights:

• Drilling at the Forrestania Gold Project continues to extend high-grade zone at Lady Magdalene deposit - reaffirming near-term strategy to systematically increase existing current Mineral Resource estimate (refer to ASX announcement dated 14[th] March 2017 for mineral resource estimate)

• Classic has received additional assays for MARC005, extending the mineralised interval from 7m @ 2.43 g/t Au from 179m to 17m @ 3.86 g/t Au from 179m )

• Additional assays also identify the presence of narrow, high grade structures ( 2m @ 12.46 g/t Au from 87m, 2m @ 8.59 g/t Au from 48 m ) within a broad zone of shallow dipping mineralisation close to surface

• Best results to date for Lady Magdalene deposit include:

• MARC005: 17m @ 3.86 g/t Au from 179m – including 9m @ 5.4 g/t Au from 187m

• o MARC009: 7m @ 4.95 g/t Au from 138m – including 3m @ 10.0 g/t Au from 141m o MARC008: 12m @ 2.08 g/t Au from 139m – including 3m @ 4.6 g/t Au from 142m o MARC006: 2m @ 12.46 g/t Au from 87m – including 1m @ 24.3 g/t Au from 87m o MARC007: 2m @ 8.59 g/t Au from 48m – including 1 m @ 16.5 g/t Au from 48m o MARC007: 6m @ 3.27 g/t Au from 74m – including 4m @ 4.6 g/t Au from 76m

• Lady Magdalene deposit previously subject to shallow, surface drilling only – previous drilling programs missed newly defined, SSE-plunging, high-grade zone

• High-grade zone remains open at depth and along strike – warranting further follow up activity in the near-term

• Initial results from Phase 1 drilling at both Lady Ada and Lady Magdalene deposits highlights significant potential for Classic to unlock a large-scale gold system at FGP

1. INTRODUCTION

WA-focused gold exploration and development company Classic Minerals Limited (ASX. CLZ) ("Classic", or "the Company") is pleased to advise that it has received additional results from the Phase 1 drilling program at the Company’s Forrestania Gold Project (“FGP”) in Western Australia.

ASX Announcement

25 July 2017

Drilling at Lady Magdalene was designed to target mineralisation outside of the current resource model as well as highgrade extensions below and adjacent to the current pit design. Importantly, results from initial holes have identified a zone of high-grade mineralisation outside of the current Mineral Resource, which extends at depth and along strike, reaffirming Classic’s view that the FGP has the potential to host a much larger gold system that can be unlocked through further targeted drilling.

These latest results follow on from the robust initial assays returned from the Lady Ada and Lady Magdalene deposits within FGP (see ASX announcement 4 July 2017 and 10 July 2017), and further underpin Classic’s near-term growth strategy aimed at sufficiently growing its resource base to a size that supports establishment of an on-site processing facility at FGP (see Scoping Study announcement released 2 May 2017).

The Reverse Circulation (“RC”) program at FGP drilled to date has comprised a total of 18 holes for 3,670m (MARC001 - MARRC018). Additional results are presented for 8 holes (MARC005 – MARC013). So far, almost all holes have returned high-grade intersections.

An additional POW (“Program of Works”) lodged with the DMP (“Department of Mines and Petroleum”) for an in-fill and extensional drilling program has now been approved. This will allow Classic to rapidly move to the next phase of exploration and development at the FGP. The Company confirms that it has commenced designing the drill program and is currently undertaking site preparation and clearing for a 12,000m RC drill program to be undertaken in the near term.

Classic’s Managing Director, Justin Doutch, commented:

“It's been very exciting receiving these additional excellent assay results over the past weeks. We think the FGP has the potential to become a world-class gold deposit, due to the lack of deeper drilling by previous holders. The fantastic results coming back from our Phase 1 program have given us the confidence to forge ahead with a significant Phase 2 drilling program at FGP.

As more assays come in, we see the mineralised zones at Lady Magdalene are getting thicker and are very consistent in grade. We are excited about uncovering more new zones at FGP and building on this resource.”

2. DRILLING AT LADY MAGDALENE – CONFIRMING RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT MODEL

The drilling results at Lady Magdalene confirm Classic's interpretation of the ore body, which is based on a southeasterly plunging shoot, similar to the one observed along-strike at the Lady Ada ore body, as well as several other prospects along -and across strike in the project area.

These results suggest that, where previously the mineralisation had appeared closed off, the identified SE plunge leaves room for further down-dip extensions, and has the potential to add significantly to the Mineral Resources within the project area.

The additional assays further confirmed that MARC005 contains wide zones of mineralisation down-dip of the SE plunge direction (Figure 1 & Figure 3), with the mineralised zone intercepted in MARC005 being an impressive 17m thick at 3.86 g/t Au.

Additional assays also identify the presence of narrow, high grade structures within a broad zone of shallow dipping mineralisation close to surface in holes MARC006 and MARC007 (Figure 3).

With the confirmation of the model and with mineralisation intercepted in all holes at Lady Magdalene, future work will focus on defining the likely economical boundaries to the ore body, followed by a program of pattern drilling to establish and increase the confidence in the Mineral Resource at Lady Magdalene.

drilling results, is highly encouraging and points towards a significant increase to resource size. A JORC estimate and upgrade will be carried out prior to year-end 2017 (calendar). Note also the zone between the two deposits which previously had some spaces in the mineralisation – now that these spaces have closed, we are confident that a combined “super-resource” could be delineated over the 1.7km long structure that hosts both of Lady Magdalene and Lady Ada.

4. ABOUT CLASSIC MINERALS

Classic is an Australian based exploration company with tenements across four major regional exploration areas in Western Australia. Classic’s flagship projects are the FGP and Fraser Range. At Fraser Range, 40 km NE of Sirius’ Nova & Bollinger discoveries, Classic has discovered the Mammoth nickel-copper target, a new target style of magmatic nickelcopper mineralisation on the Fraser Range.

The FGP Tenements (Figure ) are registered in the name of Reed Exploration Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX listed Hannans Ltd (ASX:HNR). Classic has acquired 80% of the gold rights on the FGP Tenements from a third party, whilst Hannans has maintained its 20% interest in the gold rights. Hannans' 20% interest is free-carried, meaning Hannans is not required to fund any activities on the FGP until a decision to mine has been made. For the avoidance of doubt Hannans Ltd owns a 100% interest in non-gold rights on the FGP Tenements including but not limited to nickel, lithium and other metals.

The Forrestania Gold Project contains an existing Mineral Resource of 5.9 Mt at 1.25 g/t for 240,000 ounces of gold, classified and reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012), with a recent Scoping Study (see ASX Announcement released 2[nd] May 2017) suggesting both the technical and financial viability of the project. The current post-mining Mineral Resource for Lady Ada, Lady Magdalene and Lady Lila is tabulated below. Additional technical detail on the Mineral Resource estimation is provided, further in the text below and in the JORC Table 1 as attached to ASX announcements dated 14[th] March 2017 and 21[st] March 2017.

Appendix 1: JORC (2012) Table1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
Sampling techniques	• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.	• The samples were taken by a RC face sampling hammer drill. All RC holes were sampled at one-metre intervals. • Care was taken to control metre delineation, and loss of fines. • The determination of mineralisation was done via industry standard methods, including RC drilling, followed by splitting, crushing and fire assaying

	• 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.
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).	• All drilling was completed using reverse circulation method, using a 685 Schramm 2010 model rig and 6m Remet Harlsen 4 ½ inch rods. The rig mounted Airtruck has 1150 cfm 500 psi auxiliary couples with a hurricane 7t Booster 2400 cfm /1000 psi booster. The bit size was 5 5/8,
Drill sample recovery	• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.	• Recoveries from the drilling are not known, as sample weights were not recorded at this stage of exploration, but visual inspection of plastic sample bags in the field indicate that recoveries were sufficient. • The shroud tolerance was monitored, and metre delineation was kept in check. Loss of fines was controlled through mist injection. • It is not clear whether a relationship between recovery and grade occurs as recovery data was not collected (e.g. bag weights).
Logging	• Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnicallylogged to a level of detail to support appropriate	• Core and chips were logged to a level of detail to support the Mineral Resource estimation.

Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.	• Logging was qualitative in nature. • All intersections were logged
Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation	• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. • For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. • Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. • Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.	• Sample splitting on the rig was carried out using a Sandvik static cone splitter. Most sampling was dry, however, some sampling occurred wet. Further preparation at the laboratory was carried out using standard Rocklands crushers and linear sample dividers, followed by pulverising and scooping out of the bowl for final aliquot weighing. • The nature and quality of the rig sampling suits the purpose, being exploration. The laboratory preparation is standard practice and has not been further refined to match the ore. • Rig split duplicates were submitted. QC in the lab prep stage was limited to taking pulp duplicates (e.g. no coarse crush duplicates were submitted) • The sample split sizes (4-5 kg are regarded as more than adequate for the nature and type of material sampled.
Quality of assay data and laboratory tests	• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc,theparameters used in determiningthe analysis including	• Standard 50g fire assays with an AAS finish were used to get assay results. This is a total technique, and considered appropriate for this level of exploration.

These all showed acceptable levels of accuracy and precision.
Verification of sampling and assaying	• The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. • The use of twinned holes. • Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. • Discuss any adjustment to assay data.	• Significant intersections have not been validated by independent or alternative personnel. • No twin holes were included in this programme, as it is not relevant to the stage of exploration and purpose of this drilling. • All primary data was collected on spread sheets which have been validated for errors and included into an Access database. • Assaydata has not been adjusted
Location of data points	• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. • Specification of the grid system used. • Qualityand adequacyof topographic control.	• Drill hole locations were determined by GPS in the field in UTM zone 50. • Topographic control is available through a detailed satellite- derived DTM.
Data spacing and distribution	• Data spacing for reporting of exploration results. • Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the mineral resource and ore reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. • Whether sample compositinghas been applied.	• Holes were not drilled on a pattern and there was no specific drill hole spacing. In general holes are drilled within 50-75m from previous intersections. • The data spacing is considered sufficient to demonstrate geological and grade continuity for estimation procedures. • Samples were not composited.

Orientation of data in relation to geological structure	• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.	• The orientation of sampling has achieved unbiased sampling of structures, with drilling perpendicular to the dip and strike of the mineralised zones • The relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is not considered to have introduced a sampling bias.
Sample security	• The measures taken to ensure sample security.	• Samples were immediately dispatched to the laboratory and have at all times been in possession of CLM or its designated contractors. Chain of custodywas maintained throughout.
Audits or reviews	• The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data	• No audits of any of the data have been carried out.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
Mineral tenement and land tenure status	Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.	The FGP Tenements are registered in the name of Reed Exploration Pty Ltd, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of ASX- listed Hannans Ltd (ASX code: HNR). Classic has acquired 80% of the gold rights only, with the remaining 20% of the gold rights held free-carried by Hannans Ltd until a decision to mine. Hannans Ltd also holds all of the non-gold rights on the FGP tenements including but not limited to nickel, lithium and other metals

Page 15 of 19

ASX Announcement

25 July 2017

		The acquisition includes 80% of the gold rights (other mineral rights retained by tenement holder) in the following granted tenements: E77/2207; E77/2219; E77/2239; P77/4290; P77/4291; E77/2303;E77/2220.
Exploration done by other parties	Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.	All exploration was carried out by previous owners of the tenements (Aztec Mining, Forrestania Gold NL, Viceroy Australia, Sons of Gwalia)
Geology	Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.	The deposit is a Archean shear-zone hosted gold deposit. Geological interpretation indicates that the general stratigraphy consists of metasediments, BIF’s and cherts to the east of the tenement, overlying an older sequence of metamorphosed komatiitic and high-magnesian basalts to the west. Black shales/pelites occur as small interbedded units throughout the stratigraphy, which dips gently to the east (10-35°) and strikes N- S, bending in a NNW direction in the far north of the tenement. An Archaean-aged quartz dolerite unit (informally the ‘Wattle Rocks Dolerite’) is emplaced along a contact between high-MgO basalt to the west and low-MgO ultramafic to the east, in the western part of the tenement and is the host rock for the Lady Ada (and Lady Magdalene) mineralisation. Strongly magnetic Proterozoic dolerite dykes cross-cut the stratigraphy in an east- west direction, splaying to the ENE, following fault directions interpreted from the aeromagnetics. A number of narrow shear zones lie subparallel to the shallow-dipping metasediment-mafic contact within the host stratigraphy and are important sites and conduits for the observed mineralisation. The Sapphire shear

zone strikes approximately ENE, dipping to the SE at about 25°, and appears to crosscut all lithologies. This shear zone and associated shears host the bulk of the gold mineralisation at Wattle Rocks. Similar flat-dipping shears are known to crosscut the Lady Magdalene area. Approximately 8-12 metres of transported sands and a gold depleted weathering profile of saprolitic clays overly the Lady Ada and Lady Magdalene mineralisation.

Structurally, the Wattle Rocks area is quite complex and is positioned near the intersection of several major breakages and flexures in the regional stratigraphy in this part of the Forrestania Greenstone belt. Numerous shear zones are evident throughout the area, particularly at changes of rock stratigraphy where there are rheological differences. Narrow, stacked, flat-dipping shear zones are evident within the quartz dolerite unit and may have resulted from thrusting of the younger sedimentary sequence over the mafic package from east to west. A similar model is predicted for Van Uden (10 km northwards) where mineralised quartz veins appear to ‘stack’ through a host ferruginous metasediment.

	dip and azimuth of the hole down hole length and interception depth hole length. If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearlyexplain whythis is the case.
Data aggregation methods	In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearlystated.	High grades were not cut in the reporting of weighted averages in this Report. Summary drill hole results as reported in figures and in the appendix 2 to this Report are reported on a 2m internal dilution and 0.5 g/t Au cuto-off.
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. 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’).	In almost all cases, the drill holes are perpendicular to the mineralisation. The true width is not expected to deviate much from intersection width.
Diagrams	Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for anysignificant discoverybeing	Appropriate images have been provided in the Report.

	reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
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.	Figures represent specific selected drill intervals to demonstrate the general trend of high grade trends. Cross sections show all relevant result in a balanced way.
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 contaminatingsubstances.	No other relevant data is reported
Further work	The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commerciallysensitive.	Further RC drilling is being considered. Figures clearly demonstrate the areas of possible extensions
