CLASSIC UNEARTHS BRAND NEW HIGH-GRADE GOLD DISCOVERY AT FORRESTANIA.

Highlights:

• Compelling new gold discovery at Van Uden West: Results include 12m at 5.75 g/t Au from 59m including 1m at 25.60 g/t Au from 59m in VUWRC002

• New discovery covered by thin veneer of transported sands and clays effectively masking the gold mineralisation from surface detection

• Kat Gap delivers significant high-grade results and remains open along strike: Results include 5m at 14.10 g/t Au from 17m including 1m at 48.40 g/t Au from 20m

• Lady Lila drilling returned excellent results and mineralisation remains open along strike: Better results include 14m at 3.70 g/t Au from 71m including 1m at 13.20 g/t Au from 79m in FLLRC002 and 8m at 3.21 g/t Au from 70m including 1m at 11.40 g/t Au from 72m in FLLRC004

• Cost-effective maiden drilling program (<$50,000 AUD inc assays and tech work) consisting of 11 RC holes for 750 metres delivers outstanding results

• 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.

The Company drilled a total of 11 holes for 750m - 2 holes for 174m at new prospect Van Uden West, 5 holes for 366m at Lady Lila, and 4 holes for 210m at Kat Gap; with the aim of uncovering a new gold system (at Van Uden West) and improving/increasing known mineralisation at Lady Lila and Kat Gap.

Drilling results from Van Uden West confirms the discovery of a significant new zone of gold mineralisation. Preliminary interpretation suggests that the prospect is similar in geological characteristics to Kat Gap with gold mineralisation sitting adjacent to the granite/greenstone contact.

Lady Lila is a BIF hosted gold deposit that is similar in geological characteristics to Bounty and Blue Vein (held by KDR) which are prolific, high grade gold deposits in the region. Drilling at Lady Lila confirmed the existence of a thick, steep east dipping ore zone warranting additional follow up.

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 after this drill program, Classic sees great potential for the discovery of a substantial shallow high-grade gold deposit within the Kat Gap project area.

Classic CEO Dean Goodwin said:

First pass regional drilling campaigns don’t get any better than this. We encountered thick, 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. This is a great position for the company to be in: we don’t know how big these targets are and can’t wait to get stuck back into drilling. The campaign absolutely reinforces how good a project the FGP truly is – our first venture beyond the “flagship” deposits of Lady Magdalene and Lady Ada has been incredibly successful, and we look forward to heading into the next phase of the company’s growth and success.

We should also point out that this drilling program, along with all associated assays and additional technical work cost less than $50,000 AUD. This is a great testament to 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. VAN UDEN WEST – A BRAND NEW GOLD DISCOVERY

After extensive field work and reviewing of historic exploration records, the Company deemed its new target, Van Uden West as being a priority. It is surrounded by historic gold mines Van Uden and Teddy Bear and is situated 11km NW along strike from Lady Magdalene and Lady Ada.

The geological setting of Van Uden West is similar to Kat Gap but it has transported cover masking the top 10-20 metres of the potential gold mineralisation. Classics decision to test the Van Uden West target is based upon an anomalous air core drill result from the late 1990’s. The target has an excellent structural location on the contact between granite and greenstone and it is the belief of the company that the previous shallow, wide spaced air core holes inadequately tested the target.

Classic is excited to confirm that both holes drilled at Van Uden West intersected significant gold mineralisation potentially striking in a north-west/south-east direction with a shallow easterly dip – mineralisation remains open. Drill highlights include: 12m at 5.75 g/t Au from 59m including 1m at 25.60 g/t Au from 59m.

Figure 2: Cross Section Looking North – Van Uden West

Classic postulated that the anomalous mineralisation identified in historic air-core drill hole FTBAC037 represented an undiscovered gold zone shallowly dipping to the east. This has been confirmed by the mineralised zone in VUWRC001 which is then shown to continue down-dip into VUWRC002. With the previous aircore drill spacing at least 250m apart, Classic sees excellent potential to build on this zone with follow up drilling planned around the end of June 2018.

The newly discovered gold mineralisation at Van Uden West is completely blind, covered by a thin veneer of transported sands and clays.

3. KAT GAP DRILLING – SHALLOW, HIGH GRADE AND UNDER-EXPLORED

Classic drilled 4 holes for 210m at Kat Gap and is pleased to confirm that two holes (FKGRC001 and FKGRC002) returned gold mineralisation striking in a north-south direction – mineralisation remains open. Drill highlights include: 5m at 14.10 g/t Au from 17m including 1m at 48.40 g/t Au from 20m.

Two holes (FKGRC003 and FKGRC004) were barren – hitting a cross-cutting proterozoic dyke. However, these provide useful information in terms of better understanding local geology and the controls on mineralisation. After this drilling program, Classic’s CEO Dean Goodwin believes that the gold is concentrated against the dyke so follow up drill spacings will be relatively close with the aim of getting hard up against the dyke as possible to test that particular theory.

In addition, drill confirmation of the dyke supports geophysical datasets available to the company, meaning that future exploration programs can be planned - making more effective use of modern exploration targeting techniques.

Drilling has shown that primary gold mineralisation is associated with quartz veining developed in granitic rocks at or near to the western granite-greenstone contact of the Forrestania Greenstone Belt. 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.

Classic announced in March (see announcement dated 3 March 2018) that it had secured processing rights at Tianye/Minjar’s Marvel Loch Processing Plant located ~100km north of the FGP. With this option to monetise its assets in the near term, the company’s strategy is to prove near-surface/high-grade gold mineralisation that may present straightforward mining opportunities. The recent drilling at Kat Gap (4 RC holes for total of 210 metres) shows strong potential to prove up a significant high-grade gold zone less than 20m from surface.

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.

4. LADY LILA DRILLING – ANOTHER BOUNTY GOLD MINE?

Lady Lila is situated 4km east of Lady Ada and is hosted by a chert/banded iron formation within the younger metasedimentary central zone. Previous drilling is shallow (approx. 50m depth testing) and generally intercepts the mineralised zone only two-three times per section. Additional drilling is strongly recommended and is required to test the orientation, and down dip extension of the mineralisation. The mineralisation at its strongest is 10m wide, over 400m long, and grades between 2.0-5.0g/t Au.

Drilling at Lady Lila was historically on 100m - 200m spaced drill lines. Classic’s recent drilling at Lady Lila was focused on extending high grade air-core/RC hits on the 6429860N line. Drilling either side of this section, Classic confirmed mineralisation extending both North and South along strike. Importantly, mineralisation remains open at depth and additional follow up drilling will be undertaken immediately to continue to grow this deposit.

Five holes (FLLRC001 – FLLRC005 inclusive) for 366m were drilled at Lady Lila with all holes intersecting gold mineralisation. Drill highlights include: 14m at 3.70 g/t Au from 71m including 1m at 13.20 g/t Au from 79m.

A cross section of Lady Lila is displayed in Figure 3. The present gold mineralisation models indicate a steep easterly dip; future drilling will be to test a possible vertical dip, as gold deposits in the area have been known to steepen at depth (e.g., Bounty and Blue Vein (>1M oz Au) held by Kidman Resources).

Lady Lila contains a significant strike extent, high and low-grade intercepts, is broadly drilled on 100m – 200m spaced lines and requires additional exploration. Classic aims to re-commence drilling at Lady Lila by the end of the June quarter.

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

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.

Once the logging and structural work was completed, the core was assayed and returned promising gold intercepts in those zones identified as having similar orientation to Lady Ada including 6.5m @ 3.30 g/t Au from 56.5m (including 1m @ 9.52 g/t Au from 60m). This is a very significant development for the company as the current large, modestly graded Lady Magdalene deposit appears to host high grade cross cutting zones of gold mineralisation which are analogous to the high grade Lady Ada mine.

ASX Announcement

15 May 2018

Classic is now in the process of finalising approvals for a close-spaced RC drilling program to further delineate the dip, plunge and general direction of the high grade structures within Lady Magdalene. The follow up program is designed to confirm the existence of high-grade cross cutting lodes as suggested by relevant orientation data and start to delineate grade, size and extent of the Lady Ada analogue zones within Lady Magdalene. It is expected that the RC drilling will commence in the June quarter.

6. 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. 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 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 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.

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 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.	• 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
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 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 7t Booster 2400 cfm /1000 psi booster. The bit size was 5 5/8,

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.

• 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.

	avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
Other substantive exploration data	• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.	• 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
