ASX Announcement

MORE HIGH-GRADE GOLD INTERCEPTS RETURNED FROM INFILL DRILLING AT KAT GAP

Highlights:

  • The next 14 holes from a 109-hole infill RC drilling program at Kat Gap have returned further highgrade gold intercepts . Better results include:

  • 2m @ 21.07 g/t Au from 33m including 1m @ 40.10 g/t Au from 33m.

  • 2m @ 17.20 g/t Au from 53m including 1m @ 19.90 g/t Au from 53m.

  • 2m @ 7.10 g/t Au from 57m.

  • 3m @ 6.99 g/t Au from 42m including 1m @12.30 g/t Au from 44m.

  • 6m @ 5.55 g/t Au from 49m including 1m @ 18.10 g/t Au from 50m.

  • 10m @ 3.80 g/t Au from 50m including 1m @ 24.10 g/t Au from 50m.

  • 10m @ 2.74 g/t Au from 70m including 1m @ 18.60 g/t Au from 79m.

  • These latest results come from infill RC drill holes located immediately south along strike from the first 10 infill holes released recently. The infill RC drilling program at Kat Gap is concentrating on an area 100m to 300m north along strike of the cross cutting Proterozoic dyke.

  • Some eighty-five RC drill holes totalling 5,665 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 design work.

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

INTRODUCTION

Classic has drilled 24 holes for 1,445m at Kat Gap during July and August as part of a much larger 109-hole infill drilling campaign. This announcement covers the next 14 RC holes (FKGRC400–413) of the 109-hole program. Subsequent holes will be reported on in due course when assays become available.

Infill RC holes FKGRC400–413 are located adjacent to the first ten holes (FKGRC390-399) reported on recently. They are situated approximately 150m north along strike from the cross cutting Proterozoic dyke and form part of the much larger infill drilling pattern (See figure 1.0). The holes have been drilled on 10m x 10m and 10m x 5m grid spacings to bring the near surface parts of the inferred resource to indicated status prior to final pit design work. The total 109-hole infill RC drilling program 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.

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 5m drill pattern, which came closest to the surface. The ore zone exposed during the bulk sample mining showed evidence of slight pinch and swell 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 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 40-70m. However deeper holes down to 100-140m 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 last week due to severe weather conditions experienced on-site. Drilling should be underway again in a few weeks.

ABOUT THE FORRESTANIA GOLD PROJECT

The FGP Tenements (excluding Kat Gap) 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 the gold rights on the Kat Gap Tenements and also non-gold rights including but not limited to nickel, lithium and other metals.

Classic has a Global Mineral Resource of 8.24 Mt at 1.52 g/t for 403,906 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 Kat Gap 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 18[th] December 2019, 21[st] January 2020, and 20 April 2020.

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
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 beingsampled.
• 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.
• Qualityand adequacyof 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.

  • 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, 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 lowgrade results,theprocedure
• 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 0.5g/t Au cuto-off.

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.
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
