ASX Announcement

INFILL DRILLING PROGRAM CONTINUES TO DELIVER HIGH-GRADE GOLD INTERCEPTS AT KAT GAP

Highlights:

  • The next 11 holes from a 109-hole infill RC drilling program at Kat Gap have returned more highgrade gold intercepts . Better results include:

  • 10m @ 16.19 g/t Au from 37m including 1m @ 45.00 g/t Au from 46m.

  • 10m @ 15.34 g/t Au from 29m including 2m @ 43.00 g/t Au from 31m.

  • 12m @ 9.60 g/t Au from 28m including 4m @ 25.34 g/t Au from 36m.

  • 6m @ 8.68 g/t Au from 59m including 1m @ 30.20 g/t Au from 64m.

  • 4m @ 6.89 g/t Au from 33m including 1m @ 16.10 g/t Au from 36m.

  • 4m @ 6.69 g/t Au from 26m including 1m @ 16.90 g/t Au from 26m.

  • 13m @ 2.66 g/t Au from 41m including 1m @ 16.10 g/t Au from 44m.

  • These latest results come from infill RC drill holes located immediately east of the recently mined bulk sample pit. The infill RC drilling program at Kat Gap is mostly concentrated on an area 100m to 300m north along strike of the cross cutting Proterozoic dyke.

  • Some Seventy-four RC drill holes totalling 4,985 metres remain to be drilled.

  • Infill RC holes conducted on 10m x 10m and 10m x 5m spacings to provide more accurate resource model data for final pit optimisation and design work.

  • RC infill drilling program is a direct result from the recent bulk sample mining operation.

Classic has drilled 35 holes for 2,125m at Kat Gap during July and August as part of a much larger 109hole infill drilling campaign. This announcement covers the next 11 RC holes ( FKGRC414–424 ) of the 109hole program. Subsequent holes will be reported on in due course when assays become available.

Infill RC holes FKGRC414–424 are located further south along strike from the first twenty-four holes (FKGRC390-413) reported on recently. These latest holes are situated around the bulk sample pit immediately north of the cross cutting Proterozoic dyke and form part of the much larger infill drilling pattern (See figure 1.0). The eleven holes completed are outside the red rectangle indicating the area of infill drilling in figure 1.0 and are shown as red dots. The holes have been drilled on a 10m x 5m grid spacings to hit further high-grade pinch and swell quartz veins beneath the bulk sample pit. The results have confirmed observations made while the bulk sample pit was mined and show that 10m x 10m and 10m x 5m drill spacing is adequate to hit these high-grade pinch and swell quartz zones. The total 109-hole infill RC drilling program mostly covers an area 100m to 300m along strike to the north of the Proterozoic dyke and 200m north along strike from the recent bulk sample mining operation.

Figure 1: Recent infill RC drilling at Kat Gap

==> picture [476 x 327] intentionally omitted <==

The need for closer spaced infill drilling has eventuated from the recent bulk sample mining operation. The pit was centred on an area of the resource block model, drilled on a 10m x 10m and 10m x 5m drill pattern, which came closest to the surface. The ore zone exposed during the bulk sample mining showed strong evidence of pinching and swelling of the main quartz veins over relatively short wavelengths of around 10-15m. To gain a higher level of confidence in the overall status of the current resource block model and to ensure adequate intersection of the higher-grade components of the gold ore zone, drilling needs to be conducted on a minimum of 10m spaced sections and 10m spaced holes on the section. This spacing will permit an upgrade from the current inferred status to indicated, needed for final pit design work. The infill program will also dramatically reduce the number of grade control RC holes required in pit once operations are underway.

Most of the infill drilling will consist of relatively shallow holes down to depths of 40-80m. However deeper holes down to 100-160m will also be drilled to extend the known gold mineralisation to greater depths down dip. This work will hopefully add additional mineable ounces and a potentially larger final open pit design.

The overall infill RC drilling program consists of 109 holes for 7,110m and should take approximately 4-6 weeks to complete weather permitting. Assay results will be released to the market as they become available.

The RC drilling program was suspended again late last week due to severe weather conditions experienced on-site. Drilling should be underway again in a week or so.

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
Schramm 645 model rig and 6m
Remet Harlsen 4 ½ inch rods. The rig
mounted Airtruck has 1150 cfm 500
psi auxiliary couples with a hurricane
7t Booster 2400 cfm /1000 psi booster.
The bit size was 5 5/8,
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias may
have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.
• Recoveries from the drilling are not
known, as sample weights were not
recorded at this stage of exploration,
but visual inspection of 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.
• Significant intersections have not
been validated by independent or
alternative 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.
• 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

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
custodywas maintained throughout.

overlying an older sequence of metamorphosed komatiitic and high-magnesian basalts to the west. Black shales/pelites occur as small interbedded units throughout the stratigraphy, which dips gently to the east (10-35°) and strikes N-S, bending in a NNW direction in the far north of the tenement.

  • An Archaean-aged quartz dolerite unit (informally the ‘Wattle Rocks Dolerite’) is emplaced along a contact between high-MgO basalt to the west and low-MgO ultramafic to the east, in the western part of the tenement and is the host rock for the Lady Ada (and Lady Magdalene) mineralisation. Strongly magnetic Proterozoic dolerite dykes cross-cut the stratigraphy in an east-west direction, splaying to the ENE, following fault directions interpreted from the aeromagnetics. A number of narrow shear zones lie subparallel to the shallow-dipping metasediment-mafic contact within the host stratigraphy and are important sites and conduits for the observed mineralisation. The Sapphire shear zone strikes approximately ENE, dipping to the SE at about 25°, and appears to crosscut all lithologies. This shear zone and associated shears host the bulk of the gold mineralisation at Wattle Rocks. Similar flat-dipping shears are known to crosscut the Lady Magdalene area. Approximately 8-12 metres of transported sands and a gold depleted weathering profile of saprolitic clays overly the Lady Ada and Lady Magdalene mineralisation.

  • Structurally, the Wattle Rocks area is quite complex and is positioned near the intersection of several major breakages and flexures in the regional stratigraphy in this part of

the Forrestania Greenstone belt.
Numerous shear zones are evident
throughout the area, particularly at
changes of rock stratigraphy where
there are rheological differences.
Narrow, stacked, flat-dipping shear
zones are evident within the quartz
dolerite unit and may have resulted
from thrusting of the younger
sedimentary sequence over the
mafic package from east to west. A
similar model is predicted for Van
Uden (10 km northwards) where
mineralised quartz veins appear to
‘stack’ through a host ferruginous
metasediment.
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
whythis 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.
• 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.

• The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.
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 avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.
• Figures represent specific selected
drill intervals to demonstrate the
general trend of high grade trends.
Cross sections show all relevant
result in a balanced way.
Other substantive
exploration data
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but
not limited to): geological observations;
geophysical survey results; geochemical
survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or 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
