KAT GAP EXTENDS AT DEPTH. HIGH GRADE GOLD INTERSECTED DOWN DIP.

Highlights:

  • Kat Gap keeps on growing with the main granite-greenstone contact gold lode extending down dip a further 50m vertical below surface with significant gold mineralisation intersected adjacent to the cross-cutting Proterozoic dyke. This takes the average depth of gold mineralisation from 50-60m below surface down to 90-110m in the area adjacent to the dyke.

  • High grade gold intercepts returned from down-dip extensions. Better results from the most recent drilling include:

9m grading 20.94 g/t gold from 123m, including 1m grading 125.00 g/t from 126m. 8m grading 8.26 g/t gold from 58m, including 2m grading 21.80 g/t from 61m. 13m grading 4.91 g/t gold from 33m, including 1m grading 22.10 g/t from 36m. 8m grading 4.19 g/t gold from 109m, including 1m grading 13.50 g/t from 115m. 3m grading 7.44 g/t gold from 92m, including 1m grading 17.40 g/t from 93m. 8m grading 5.86 g/t gold from 37m, including 1m grading 9.90 g/t from 41m.

  • This round of RC drilling at Kat Gap was focused primarily on testing the down dip extent of previous high-grade intercepts on the main granite-greenstone contact adjacent to the crosscutting Proterozoic dyke. Drilling also focused on testing down-dip projections of recent highgrade intercepts in the newly extended northern zone. System remains open in all directions .

  • High grades and shallow nature of the gold mineralised system on the granite-greenstone contact will enhance the economics of any future open pit mining operation.

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 latest RC drilling program at its Forrestania Gold Project (FGP) in Western Australia. The Company completed a total of 17 holes for 1,880m at the 100% owned Kat Gap project with the aim of improving/increasing known high-grade gold mineralisation.

Drilling results from Kat Gap continued to impress with significant zones of gold mineralisation located on the granitegreenstone contact. Recent drilling at Kat Gap has shown that high-grade gold mineralisation projects very close to surface and continues down-dip with increasing width.

The Kat Gap Project is strategically located approximately 70km south-south east of the Company’s Forrestania Gold project containing the Lady Magdalene and Lady Ada gold resources. Kat Gap adjoins the Forrestania Nickel project currently operated by Western Areas Ltd.

Classic CEO Dean Goodwin said:

These deeper gold intersections clearly show that Kat Gap has legs with the potential to grow significantly at depth. The further down we drill the wider the gold zones seem to be getting. This is a function of the structural setting. As the contact flattens out the fault zone opens up wider and the gold lodes thicken accordingly. I’ve seen this time and time again in the Goldfields. Only a handful of deep holes have been drilled at Kat Gap to date. We clearly need to drill more deeper holes to follow the system down.

We also ventured out into the granite to drill for the first time 400m west of the main granite-greenstone contact. Here we tested a very small section of the 4.4km long auger soil anomaly looking for primary gold within the granite. Results were very encouraging with plenty of anomalous gold below the oxide profile. I like to call this smoke and there’s plenty of smoke out in the granite. Where there’s smoke there’s generally a decent fire nearby.

The next stages for Kat Gap will be to extend the known gold mineralised zone further north and south from our current drilling area. This would entail testing the northerly extensions for another 300m and the southerly extensions for 300m. If successful that would give us a combined strike length of 1,000m. We would also probe at depth down dip along the entire 400m of gold mineralised granite-greenstone contact we have delineated to date. A few deep diamond holes to collect valuable structural data will also be incorporated into the program to probe at depth 200-300m below existing drill coverage.

2. DRILLING JUST COMPLETED AT KAT GAP

Classic drilled a total of 17 holes for 1880m at Kat Gap with 12 holes drilled along the granite-greenstone contact and 5 holes drilled out into the granite 300-400m west of our current drilling area. The drilling conducted along the granite-greenstone contact has now extended the down-dip projection, adjacent to the Proterozoic dyke, to over 100m vertical below surface with mineralisation open in all directions.

Figure 1: Kat Gap plan view showing recent and previous Classic RC drilling plus significant gold intersections.

Twelve RC holes FKGRC090 - FKGRC098 and FKGRC104 – FKGRC106 for a total of 1,360m were drilled testing the up-dip and down-dip projections of the main granite-greenstone contact lode in the vicinity of the cross-cutting Proterozoic dyke and the down-dip extent of the northern extension zone. This drilling was designed primarily to test the down-dip extent of previous high-grade intercepts where the contact flattened. It was also conducted to provide enhanced detail around gold lode structural orientation including potential plunge direction. Better results from these holes include:

  • 13m @ 4.91g/t Au from 33m including 1m @ 22.10g/t Au from 36m in FKGRC090

  • 8m @ 5.86 g/t Au from 37m including 1m @ 9.90 g/t Au from 41m in FKGRC091

  • 8m @ 8.26 g/t Au from 58m including 2m @ 21.80 g/t Au from 61m in FKGRC092

  • 3m @ 7.44 g/t Au from 92m including 1m @ 17.40 g/t Au from 93m in FKGRC093

  • 8m @ 4.19 g/t Au from 109m including 1m @ 13.50 g/t Au from 115m in FKGRC094

  • 9m @ 20.94 g/t Au from 123m including 1m @ 125.00 g/t Au from 126m in FKGRC095

The deeper drilling has shown the main granite – greenstone contact continues to roll or flatten out in the down dip projection. Where the contact is steep the gold lode tends to narrow and weaken in grade. As the contact rolls to a flatter angle both the width and grade of the gold lode tends to increase (see section 92710N).

Figure 2: Kat Gap Cross Section 92710N (local grid) Looking North

Five RC holes FKGRC099 - FKGRC103 for a total of 520m were also completed out in the granite on a single traverse crossing a portion of the large 4.4km long auger soil anomaly located 400-600m west of the main granite-greenstone contact. They were drilled on 40m spacings and orientated both in a grid east to west and grid west to east orientation. The holes intersected broad zones of anomalous gold mineralization up to 20m thick within the granite grading from 0.1-0.5g/t associated with zones of minor quartz veining, biotite and albite alteration. The best result was from FKGRC100 which returned 3m @ 1.29g/t from 96m close to the bottom of the hole. Further drilling is required to locate the source of the auger anomaly as the widths and gold grades returned from these first few holes do not explain the size and magnitude of the auger soil anomaly.

3. PREVIOUS RC DRILLING AT KAT GAP BY CLASSIC

Classic has completed 5 separate drilling campaigns at Kat Gap prior to the most recent RC drilling program. A total of 89 holes for 5931m was completed between May 2018 and June 2019 all returning significant high-grade gold intercepts. The majority of the drilling is relatively shallow, down to approximately 60m vertical depth below surface and covered a strike length of the granite – greenstone contact of approximately 400m. The main area of drilling has been focused primarily on and adjacent to both contacts of a cross-cutting Proterozoic dyke where it intersects the main granite-greenstone contact. At this location the gold mineralisation has been significantly enriched. Better results from the first five drilling programs include:

• 8m @ 19.05 g/t Au from 32m including 4m @ 28.80 g/t Au in FKGRC008 • 12m @ 7.52 g/t Au from 39m including 2m @ 20.20 g/t Au in FKGRC006 • 12m @ 5.39 g/t Au from 30m including 1m @ 20.80 g/t Au in FKGRC012 • 10m @ 30.78 g/t Au from 28m including 2m @ 116.10 g/t Au in FKGRC018 • 10m @ 4.18 g/t Au from 26m including 1m @ 15.10 g/t Au in FKGRC022 • 9m @ 8.08 g/t Au from 95m including 1m @ 62.30 g/t Au in FKGRC025 • 3m @ 38.33 g/t Au from 21m including 1m @ 111.00 g/t Au in FKGRC039 • 5m @ 5.61 g/t Au from 6m including 1m @ 12.00 g/t Au in FKGRC040 • 3m @ 14.10 g/t Au from 10m including 1m @ 37.40 g/t Au in FKGRC042 • 3m @ 9.64 g/t Au from 20m including 1m @ 25.10 g/t Au in FKGRC043 • 10m @ 8.17 g/t Au from 7m including 1m @ 66.20 g/t Au in FKGRC059 • 7m @ 24.34 g/t Au from 24m including 1m @ 78.50 g/t Au in FKGRC060 • 9m @ 15.21 g/t Au from 22m including 1m @ 58.30 g/t Au in FKGRC061 • 7m @ 9.55 g/t Au from 89m including 1m @ 42.40 g/t Au in FKGRC063 • 3m @ 11.03 g/t Au from 50m including 1m @ 28.04 g/t Au in FKGRC082

4. FUTURE DRILLING PLANNED FOR KAT GAP

Future drilling programs at Kat Gap will focus on testing the main granite – greenstone contact further north and south along strike from the current drilling area. The next few RC drilling programs will test the northerly and southerly extensions for another 200-300m along strike. RC Drilling will also probe at depth below the current shallow holes along the entire 400m of strike delineated by Classic to date. Several deep orientated diamond holes designed to collect valuable structural data will probe the system to 300m vertical below surface.

Aircore and RC drilling programs will also be conducted out into the granite to test the large 4.4 km long geochemical anomaly identified in historical auger soil sampling. The initial program will focus around the cross-cutting Proterozoic dyke where high auger values were returned along with a dilational site located in the north-eastern most area of the geochemical anomaly.

Historical RC drilling at Kat Gap is mostly 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.

Classic has planned follow up RC and diamond holes with drilling scheduled for mid-October.

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.
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,
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.
• Recoveries from the drilling are not
known, as sample weights were not
recorded at this stage of
exploration,but visual inspection of

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 40m 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.
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 (containing the
Van Uden West prospect) 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
• 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.
• Lady Lila is situated upon 100%
owned CLZ tenements P77/4325 and
P77/4326 (details in announcement
dated 21 March 2017)
• Kat Gap is situated upon E74/467,
held by Sulphide Resources Pty Ltd.
CLZ acquired 100% of these
tenements in January 2019 (details in
announcement dated 9th Jan 2019)
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,
Sulphide Resources PtyLtd)
Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
• The deposit is an 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 1m internal
dilution and 0.5 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
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.
