CLASSIC PROCEEDS WITH KAT GAP FARM-IN AND PREPARES TO UNDERTAKE DRILLING PROGRAM

Highlights:

  • Classic secures option to acquire advanced gold exploration project located nearby to flagship Forrestania Gold Project in WA

  • Kat Gap drilling program to target high-grade depth extensions and necessary in-fill drilling to support a resource upgrade to be undertaken this calendar year

  • Initial pit optimisations completed and will be included in scoping study in due course

  • Expanded footprint in Forrestania region further underpins Classic’s mine development strategy targeting expansion of existing resource base to circa 500,000oz gold over the next 12 months

  • Kat Gap Project covers 37.5 km2 over a 10-km section of the western granite/greenstone contact at the southern end of the Forrestania Greenstone Belt

  • Highly complementary acquisition containing a 5-km long, open-ended geochemical anomaly - limited drill testing to date has returned best results of 15m @ 15.1 and 6m @ 19.1 g/t Au

*In accordance with clause 5.12 of the ASX Listing Rules, CLZ notes that the historic resource estimations were not reported in compliance with the JORC Code (2012), or any earlier adaptations of the JORC Code. A Competent Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as mineral resources in accordance with the JORC Code (2012). It is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work that the historical estimates will be able to be reported as mineral resources in accordance with the JORC Code (2012).

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 executed a binding agreement to secure the option to acquire a 100% interest in two exploration licences held by Sulphide Resources Pty Ltd which host a combined area of 37.5km² known as the Kat Gap Project.

The Kat Gap Project is strategically located approximately 50km south-south east of the Company’s recently acquired Forrestania Gold project (see CLZ announcement 21st March 2017), and adjoins the Forrestania Nickel project currently operated by Western Areas Ltd (see Figure 1).

Classic’s Managing Director, Justin Doutch, commented:

The acquisition of the highly complementary Kat Gap gold project further solidifies our foothold in the Forrestania region, taking our landholding to over 450km². The Kat Gap acquisition, together with the recent positive drilling results from our nearby Forrestania Gold Project, will play a key role in our strategy to expand the existing 240,000oz resource base at Forrestania to circa 500,000oz over the next 12 months.

Historically, these tenements have shown great potential for high-grade mineralisation, with previous exploration programs identifying grades of up to 15m @ 15.1 and 6m @ 19.1 g/t Au, so our exploration team is understandably excited to be adding this ground to our Forrestania portfolio. Together with our existing tenements, we believe the Forrestania region has the potential to host a world-class gold system.

We look forward to undertaking the Kat Gap drill program which is currently under assessment by the DMP, and will be providing further updates to shareholders on progress in due course.”

Figure 1 Location of Kat Gap Project

Kat Gap contains a shallow unmined gold deposit discovered in the 1990s, which was the subject of resource estimations and scoping study by Sons of Gwalia in 2003. High grade RC drill intercepts include 15 m @ 15.1 g/t Au from 39 m depth and 6 m @ 19.1 g/t from 17 m depth. The open-ended deposit lies within a 5 km long geochemical gold anomaly that has seen very little drill testing, and there is potential for the discovery of a substantial gold deposit within the project area. Previous exploration work includes airborne geophysical surveys; Aircore, RAB, RC and diamond drilling; and soil geochemical surveys.

Classic lodged a POW with the DMP to undertake the drilling – this is currently under assessment.

2. SIGNIFICANT EXPLORATION UPSIDE POTENTIAL

There is potential for additional mineralisation to be identified up-dip and down-dip from existing RC drilling, and along strike to north and south of existing RC drill coverage. Only about half of the 5 km long >50 ppb Au gold-in-soil anomaly has been tested by RC drilling along the granite/greenstone contact.

RAB coverage has not always been effective. In a report dated 2003, SOG noted that “... Much of the RAB drilling at Kat Gap was ineffective, failing to penetrate far enough into the bedrock to properly test the granite-greenstone contact….There remains good potential for further gold mineralisation on the more than 4km of strike of the granite-greenstone contact ."

There is a further 5 km of strike of prospective granite-greenstone contact west of the Kat Gap zone within E74/467 that has seen little or no exploration.

CLZ intends to re-evaluate the exploration work to date, with a main focus on re-establishing mineral resources that can be classified and reported in accordance with JORC (2012). To achieve this, the company first intends to commence check-drilling (diamond core drilling), followed by extensional drilling using RC drilling.

Classic lodged a POW with the DMP to undertake the drilling – this is currently under assessment.

3. MINE OPTIMSATION AND PIT DESIGNS

CLZ is assessing the inclusion of Kat Gap in the FGP Scoping Study and mine plan and had Auralia Mining Engineers carry out a pit optimisation and create mine designs based upon the 2003 Sons of Gwalia resource estimation.

Resources estimated for Kat Gap by Sons of Gwalia (SOG) in 2003 totalled 56,000oz grading 1.4g/t Au at zero grade cut-off and 36,000oz grading 3.9g/t Au at 1.5g/t Au grade cut-off.

The purpose of the study was to identify resources that could be trucked to SOG’s treatment plant at Marvel Loch 150 km NNW of Kat Gap. SOG conducted a scoping level optimisation using various assumptions but, given the extreme trucking distance and the low gold price at the time, the pit optimisation study identified only modest resources above 50 m depth. Many higher-grade drill intercepts lay outside of the SOG pit shells. A revised resource estimate of 440,000t @ 2.9g/t Au (42,000 contained ounces) was reported in 2003, but no details of the estimation can be located.

It is believed that the old scoping study results do not reflect the prospect's potential, and that a new pit optimisation using the current gold price would deliver a much larger in-pit resource, with the potential to substantially increase the resource by drilling along strike and down dip.

In accordance with clause 5.12 of the ASX Listing Rules, CLZ notes that the historic resource estimations were not reported in compliance with the JORC Code (2012), or any earlier adaptations of the JORC Code. A Competent Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimates as mineral resources in accordance with the JORC Code (2012). It is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work that the historical estimates will be able to be reported as mineral resources in accordance with the JORC Code (2012). Details that support the resource estimation are not known and therefore cannot be verified. More recent estimations are not known to have occurred.

CLZ intends to undertake drilling work to verify any historical drilling on which the historic estimates are based. This work is planned to commence this year, immediately following a full evaluation of all available digital data sets. It will be funded with currently available cash reserves.

Mining operations for the Project are envisaged to utilise a standard truck and shovel configuration using a 100t Excavator (Komatsu PC1250 or similar) paired with 90t rigid body dump trucks (Cat 777 or similar). Ramp parameters used throughout the pit designs could allow single-lane traffic flow with passing bays located at each berm (every 10 or 20m vertically).

Specific waste dumps and ROM pads have not been studied at this stage, it is envisioned that a new waste dump will be constructed for the Kat Gap pit.

4. COMMENTS AND NEXT STEPS AT KAT GAP

The immediate focus now is to undertake exploration and drilling programs, to increase confidence in the existing models, and to expand the Mineral Resources by unlocking the significant upside potential of the known Kat Gap deposit, which is open along strike and at depth. Other regional gold targets, generated through review and reinterpretation of existing mag data and auger/soil sampling data will also be tested. This work is scheduled to commence shortly and is aimed at delivering an updated Mineral Resource in Q2 FY 2018.

Page 4 of 22

ASX Announcement

13 July 2017

The updated Mineral Resource is planned to feed into a Pre-Feasibility Study which will be commenced shortly and is due to be completed in Q3 2018. The Pre-Feasibility Study will aim to establish Mineral Reserves, classified and reported in compliance with the JORC Code (2012), and optimise the mining schedule, production rate and process flow sheet while reducing capital and operating costs. It will also go into greater detail in respect of processing options and costs and environmental factors.

The exploration program over the next 12 months will include:

  • Infill and extension drilling to upgrade the Katgap Resource area;

  • Incorporation of Kat Gap resource into mine plan, scoping study and pre-feasibility study

  • Comprehensive metallurgical test work to optimise plant design;

  • Exploration drilling of gravity targets;

  • Additional environmental flora and fauna surveys (if required), and characterisation of waste and tailings material required for development approval; and

  • Structural geology to interpret the regional structure and its controls on mineralisation.

  • • Geotechnical and hydrogeological studies and testwork.

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.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
• The samples for historic drilling were taken by HQ diamond drill coring, RC
face hammer drill and RAB drill. All RC drill samples for assaying were
generated via an RC hammer (diameter unknown), but for early holes it is
not known whether this was a face-sampling or conventional hammer. The
majority of RC holes were sampled as one-metre composites. There is
limited information provided in the reporting of historic results on the
quality of the sampling processes
• Measures taken to ensure sample representativity are unknown, e.g. no
comments were documented in previous reports on things such as metre
delineation, dust suppression, bag weighing, etc.
• The determination of mineralisation was done via standard methods,

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.
including RC/diamond drilling, followed by splitting, crushing and fire
assaying. Details of this process are not known at this stage.
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 historic drilling referred to in this Report was carried out using reverse
circulation, diamond and rotary air blast drilling methods. Diamond core
was by HQ core; however, no information on the type of tubing was
available. Core orientations are not reported to have been completed.
Information on RC drilling was not available (e.g. no information on
hammer size,hammer type).
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 at this stage
• It is not clear whether a relationship between recovery and grade occurs as
information for RC drilling is not available
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.

The total length andpercentage of the relevant intersections logged.
• Core and chips were logged, but it is not clear whether this has occurred to
a level of detail to support the Mineral Resource estimation.
• Logging was most likely qualitative in nature but details are unknown until
further work is done.
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, qualityand appropriateness of the sample
• It is assumed that diamond drill core was cut down its longitudinal axis
with half the core selected for assay in line with geological boundaries, and
the remaining retained in the core tray. Review of the database indicates
that the maximum selected sample length was constrained to one metre.

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.
• Details of the splitter and drill rig configuration for RC drilling were not
provided. Review of the database suggests that RC drilling was sampled on
one metre intervals almost exclusively.
• The quality and the appropriateness of the sample preparation technique
cannot be determined for the historic drilling. It is assumed that sampling
practices employed during the respective drill programs followed standard
industry practice in effect at the time. That the majority of the drilling is in
excess of 15 years old, and that no detailed QA information and QC data
can be presented raises some concerns about the reliability of the data.
This has been taken into account in the presentation of the data.
• No studies have been undertaken to determine whether the sample size
was appropriate for thegrain size of the 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, the
parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (ie lack of bias)andprecision have been established.
• The nature of the analysis method for the samples is unknown.
• Determination of the analytical procedures employed was not completed.
The quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures
used could not be determined.
• Information on quality control procedures was not available.
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 anyadjustment to assaydata.
• No comments are available in any reports on the verification of significant
intersections
• Procedures on data entry were not available.
• Assay data were not 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.
• The drill hole coordinate system used relates to the Kat Gap local grid. A
two-point conversion was used to convert back to GDA94 Z50 grid.
• No topographic surfaces were provided for use.

Specification of the grid system used.

Qualityand adequacyof topographic control.
Data spacing and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of exploration results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree
of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the mineral resource and
ore reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.
• It is not clear whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for
Mineral Resource estimation. Sufficient studies have not yet been
undertaken.
• Sample compositing has been applied; however, any anomalous intercepts
were mostly resampled as 1m intervals.
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 appears to have mostly achieved unbiased
sampling of structures; however, sufficient work has not been undertaken
to confirm this
• The relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is not considered to have introduced a sampling
bias;however,sufficient work has not been undertaken to confirm this.

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 obtaininga licence to operate in the area.
• The KGP tenements are registered in the name of Sulphide
Resources Pty Ltd.
• If the option to purchase is exercised, the acquisition includes 100%
of the following granted tenements: E74/476 and E74/422.
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, Forerestania 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.
• The geology of the Kat Gap area covers a portion of the southern end
of the Forrestania Greenstone Belt. The belt narrows in this area
between two foliated syn-tectonic granite intrusions and begins to
attenuate to the southeast. The geology is thought to be equivalent
to the eastern domain of the Forrestania Belt, which hosts many of
the higher-grade gold deposits in and around the main Bounty Gold
Mine environs.
• Broadly the area comprises an ultramafic pile with internal dolerite-
gabbro differentiates and interflow sediments, with possible mafic
units closer to the core. The central domain sediments are not
present at Kat Gap. The intrusion of the later granites may have
caused thrusting within the greenstone sequences.
• Interpretation of geophysical data defines a granite-greenstone
contact that appears to be very magnetic and trends NW-SE. Granite
covers approximately60% of MLA74/112,and NE-trending

Page 13 of 22

ASX Announcement

13 July 2017

structures traverse these intrusions external to the greenstone stratigraphy. A dolerite dyke (crossing near 92800N) also appears to have intruded along the same structure. Later Proterozoic dolerite dykes transect the stratigraphy in an E-W direction.

  • Minor E-W trending structures are interpreted to locally offset the geology.

  • The late granites are considered “fertile” or to be differentiates from larger intrusions, being enriched in Rb, Li, Cs, Nb and depleted in Feand Ti-oxides. Sulphides are present within the granite and petrographic work identified them as pyrite-marcasite species; molybdenite and bismuth telluride were also identified. Gold mineralisation at Kat Gap is predominantly within thin quartz vein arrays in zones of mylonitisation in the granites (ductile deformation), rather than in brittle structures. Supergene mineralisation is also present at the deeply weathered contact between the granite and greenstone lithologies.

  • The granite becomes very strongly sheared (quartz biotite gneiss) towards the contact with the greenstones and has undergone potassic alteration. Late, undeformed pegmatites intrude sporadically along the contact. The hangingwall ultramafic is also sheared and strongly biotite altered. Garnets have formed within the shear but no other calc-silicate alteration is observed. The ultramafic is tremolite-chlorite rich with metamorphic olivine interpreted. The rocks are strongly magnetic and foliation decreases away from the granite contact.

  • The regolith comprises a thin veneer of sandy clays with isolated patches of lateritic cover. The underlying profile is thought to be generally intact.

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:

  • This information is provided in Appendix II, below this table.

ASX Announcement

13 July 2017

o
easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o
elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of
the drill hole collar
o
dip and azimuth of the hole
o
down hole length and interception depth
o
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 clearly
stated.
• Summary drill hole results as reported in figures and in the Appendix
II to this Report are reported on a 3m internal dilution and 0.1 g/t Au
cut-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 interpreted perpendicular to
the mineralisation. The true width is not expected to deviate much
from intersection width. However,sufficient work has not been
undertaken to confirm this
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 aplan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
• Appropriate images have been provided in the Report.
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 misleadingreportingof 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
