1. INTRODUCTION

WA-focused gold exploration and development company Classic Minerals Limited (ASX. CLZ) ("Classic", or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has received assays results from its recent RC drilling program at its Forrestania Gold Project (FGP) in Western Australia. In this round of drilling, the Company has drilled a total of 22 holes for 1,990m - 12 holes for 1052m at Kat Gap and 10 holes for 938 metres at Lady Magdalene with the aim of improving/increasing known mineralisation at Lady Magdalene and Kat Gap.

Drilling results from Kat Gap confirms the discovery of a significant new zone of gold mineralisation within the granite which was previously thought to be barren. Drilling at Kat Gap also showed that high-grade gold mineralisation has effectively dammed up against a cross-cutting Proterozoic dyke. Drilling at Lady Magdalene yielded impressive results further confirming the existence of a number of high-grade, cross-cutting gold lodes previously missed due to the wide spaced drilling.

Classic CEO Dean Goodwin said:

The Forrestania Gold Project continues to deliver fantastic results for Classic and its shareholders. We encountered high grade zones of mineralisation at each of the drill targets which all remain open along strike with high priority zones requiring urgent follow up. Kat Gap is shaping up to become a prolific shallow high-grade gold deposit with so much remaining upside potential. We have only tested 140m of 3.5km of potential strike along this granite-greenstone contact and received excellent gold grades from 11 of the 12 holes drilled.

At Lady Magdalene, we have proven the existence of 3 potentially new high-grade cross-cutting quartz veins. As previously posited, these quartz veins could be analogous to those at Lady Ada – reinforcing the view that plenty more high-grade ounces are potentially hiding between the existing drill lines at Lady Magdalene. We will track these new quartz lodes both east-west and test for additional cross-cutting veins all the way south to Lady Ada.

We are planning to restart drilling at Kat Gap and Lady Magdalene in early August. This program will also include the drilling at Lady Lila and Van Uden West so there is plenty of good results to look forward to.

These new results bode well for the whole Forrestania project given that the main granite-greenstone contact, of which we have 40 km of strike, has been largely overlooked. I’m quite confident that new, high-priority gold targets will come to light elsewhere within the project area.

We should also point out that this drilling program, along with all associated assays and additional technical work cost less than $150,000 AUD. This is another notable example of CLZ’s “new” approach to exploration planning and spending at FGP – we carefully plan all exploration activities and keep a tight control on costs to ensure shareholder funds are wisely spent with the goal of delivering value to all shareholders.

2. KAT GAP DRILLING – MULTIPLE HIGH-GRADE GOLD LODES

Classic drilled 12 holes for 1052m at Kat Gap and is pleased to confirm that eleven holes returned gold mineralisation striking in a north-south direction. The drilling was conducted over approximately 140m of strike with mineralisation open in all directions.

The majority of the drilling was focused on testing the main granite-greenstone contact which has been the sole focus of drilling since the prospect was discovered by previous holders. A few holes were also drilled up against a crosscutting Proterozoic dyke where high-grade gold mineralisation is believed to have concentrated. Drill holes FKGRC006 – FKGRC010 (inclusive), FKGRC012, FKGRC013 and FKGRC015 all tested the main contact lode with hole FKGRC008 drilled close to the Proterozoic dyke. Better results from these holes included: 8m @ 19.05 g/t Au from 32m including 4m @ 28.80 g/t Au from 32m in FKGRC008; 12m @ 7.52 g/t Au from 39m including 2m @ 20.20 g/t Au from 48m in FKGRC006; 12m @ 5.39 g/t Au from 30m including 1m @ 20.80 g/t Au from 30m in FKGRC012 and 4m @ 9.53 g/t Au from 70m including 1m @ 26.60 g/t Au from 72m in FKGRC014.

It should be noted that holes FKGRC006 – FKGRC009 (inclusive), FKGRC010 and FKGRC011 were also drilled relatively close to the Proterozoic dyke to test CEO Dean Goodwin’s theory that gold is concentrated up against the dyke. With the promising high-grade results returned from these holes, Classic will continue to track mineralisation against the dyke and follow it down plunge. It is currently believed that two high grade gold shoots exist either side of the Proterozoic dyke contact. The strike and down-plunge extent of these shoots is currently unknown.

Holes FKGRC010 – FKGRC012 (inclusive) all drilled into a newly discovered footwall lode located approximately 30m west of the main granite-greenstone contact lode hosted within the granite. Better results from these holes included: 8m @ 7.14 g/t Au from 82m including 1m @ 21.10 g/t Au from 82m in FKGRC010; 4m @ 7.44 g/t Au from 92m in FKGRC011 and 3m @ 10.70 g/t Au from 69m including 1m @ 23.10 g/t Au from 69m in FKGRC012. This new position is totally open along strike and down dip. Previous explorers in the area have assumed that the granite surrounding deposits/prospects is barren. The discovery of granite-hosted gold at Kat Gap is significant as the same geological setting may be repeated elsewhere throughout Classic’s significant >500km2 landholding. Classic will continue to track this unexpected high-grade granite-hosted gold mineralisation in its upcoming drill program at Kat Gap and elsewhere throughout the project area.

Historical RC drilling is currently on 100m – 200m line spacings. There is strong potential for additional mineralisation to be identified up-dip, down-dip and along strike, both outside of and within the 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.

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

Classic has already planned follow up drill holes to be commenced in early August.

3. DRILLING AT LADY MAGDALENE – CHASING TRANSFORMATIVE HIGH-GRADE MINERALISATION

Lady Magdalene hosts high-grade cross-cutting lodes in a similar orientation to Lady Ada (600m to the south). Structural readings taken from recent orientated diamond holes MADD003 and MADD004 (see ASX announcement dated 22 March 2018) revealed several quartz veins and narrow shear zones exhibiting similar orientation characteristics to Lady Ada. Classic drilled 10 RC holes for 938m on two north-south oriented traverses, as opposed to all historical drilling which is east-west, in an attempt to locate east-west striking Lady Ada style high-grade cross-cutting quartz veins. Of the 10 holes completed, 3 intersected quartz veining in a potential east-west orientation. These holes returned highgrade results including: 1m @ 13.40 g/t Au from 64m in MARC058; 1m @ 9.36 g/t Au from 44m in MARC059 and 4m @ 3.90 g/t Au from 46m in MARC056. The 3 new cross-cutting quartz veins initially appear narrow but have the potential to thicken rapidly over short strike lengths similar to Lady Ada.

RC drilling also intersected thick zones of lower grade gold mineralisation similar to that intersected previously during the recent resource definition drilling. Typically, Lady Magdalene alteration assemblage consists of strong biotite alteration, silicification with fine disseminated sulphides arsenopyrite and pyrite. These lower grade mineralised zones are typified by the absence of quartz veining. Results received from within the Lady Magdalene ore zone include: 11m @ 2.39 g/t Au from 38m in MARC059; 12m @ 2.12 g/t Au from 55m in MARC058; 10m @ 2.10 g/t Au from 43m in MARC056; 15m @ 1.41 g/t Au from 36m in MARC057 and 10m @ 1.51 g/t Au from 65m in MARC061.

The latest drilling confirms the existence of significant gold-bearing quartz veins between existing drill lines. As with Lady Ada’s high-grade sapphire shear zone, these veins are low angle reverse thrust faults that dip gently to the south. In upcoming drilling, Classic will track the quartz veins from east to west and will also drill south of the existing lines to determine how many additional lodes are located within the Lady Magdalene resource footprint. This is a very important development for the company as the drilling confirms that the current large, modestly graded Lady Magdalene deposit hosts high grade cross cutting zones of gold mineralisation which are analogous to the high-grade Lady Ada mine.

Follow up drilling will commence in early August.

  1. KAT GAP – LITHIUM PROSPECTIVITY

With the Forrestania belt hosting world class LCT-Pegmatites (KDR/SQM’s Earl Grey deposit and multiple Li prospects), Classic embarked on a lithium orientation sampling program of previous historical RC holes at Kat Gap. 12 holes were selected based on pegmatites being logged in the hole. No previous assays had been undertaken for lithium.

2 composite RC chip samples were collected from the 12 holes containing pegmatites, 6 holes approximately 300m north and 6 holes approximately 300-500m south of the current gold drilling. The northern composite sample (355150) returned no significant values but the composite sample (355149) collected from the southern 6 RC holes returned anomalous lithium results.

Results of the composite sample 355149 include:

Element Assay (ppm)
Lithium Oxide(Li2O) 2,260ppm
Tantalum 58 ppm
Titanium 100 ppm
Caesium 123 ppm
Tin 20 ppm

A number of pegmatites were mapped during Dean Goodwin’s targeting and mapping project completed in the early 2000’s. Classic plans to continue field work to test these pegmatites and identify more potentially li-bearing pegmatites at its 100% owned Kat Gap project. This will involve ongoing field mapping and soil geochemical sampling. The company will keep the market appraised of any meaningful updates but sees exciting potential for Li mineralisation at Kat Gap, particularly as the Li anomaly is along strike from Western Area’s (ASX: WSA) recently announced lithium exploration results – 50m @ 0.95% Li2O including 9m @ 2.85% Li2O (SID017) as spodumene.

5. ABOUT THE FORRESTANIA GOLD PROJECT

The FGP Tenements (excluding Kat Gap and Lady Lila) 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. For the avoidance of doubt Classic Ltd owns a 100% interest in non-gold rights on the Kat Gap and Lady Lila Tenements including but not limited to nickel, lithium and other metals.

The FGP contains an existing Mineral Resource of 5.3 Mt at 1.39 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 2nd 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.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m

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.
• The samples were taken by a RC

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
Hydco 350 model rig and 6m Remet
Harlsen 4 ½ inch rods. The rig
mounted Airtruck has 1150 cfm 500
psi auxiliary couples with a hurricane

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.
samples 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. bagweights).
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 and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
• Core and chips were logged to a
level of detail to support the
Mineral Resource estimation.
• 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.
• The nature and quality of the
sampling suits the purpose, being
exploration. The laboratory
preparation is standard practice and
has not been further refined to
match the ore.
• 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, 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) and precision have been
established.
• 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.
• Quality control was carried out by
inserting blanks and standards into
the sampling chain and 5% intervals.
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.
Quality and adequacy of 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 compositing has been applied.
• Holes were not drilled on a pattern
and there was no specific drill hole
spacing. In general holes are drilled
within 50m 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 samplingbias.
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 custody was maintained
throughout.

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,bendingin 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.

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:
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 clearly explain why
this is the case.
• This information is provided in
attached tables
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.
• 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 any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but not be
limited to a plan view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate sectional views.
• 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
• 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.
