28 October 2021 ASX Announcement

SEPTEMBER 2021 QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT

Classic Minerals has made significant progress at Kat Gap during the quarter as it strives to become a gold producer.

Highlights of the quarter include:

  • Assay results returned for deep RC drilling testing beneath previously recorded fresh rock high-grade gold mineralisation at Kat Gap.

  • Commenced first stage extraction of a 49,000t bulk sample at Kat Gap .

  • Advancing engineering, mining, and metallurgical studies at Kat Gap, and

  • IGO have made further progress at Classic’s Fraser Range Project.

A total of 11 holes for 1,940 metres were drilled during the quarter by the Company.

RC drilling was focused solely on Kat Gap with work concentrating on the down dip extensions of previous high grade gold mineralisation into fresh rock.

Classic commenced mining of a 49,000t bulk sample in readiness for full scale production. The mining of this bulk sample will afford the Company the opportunity to test and refine the Gekko plant.

IGO have continued working on their recently identified high conductance discrete EM anomaly over the Thylacine and Sabretooth area (now known as the Moa target) within a broader stratigraphic conductor.

The development of the Forrestania Gold Project will continue to advance in Q FY2021 concentrating on:

  • Drilling priority targets out in the granite within the large auger soil gold anomaly west of the main granite-greenstone contact at Kat Gap;

  • Continue extraction of the 49,000t bulk sample;

  • Advancing all aspects of the mining plan at Kat Gap;

  • Acquisition of necessary mining equipment for Kat Gap, and

  • Continuing to raise capital & pay down debt & liabilities to improve the financial position of the Company.

  • KAT GAP

During the quarter, Classic completed a program of deep RC drilling which was completed in July. The drilling program consisted of 11 deep holes for 1,940m. Results for this program were received in mid-August.

Deep RC drilling

The 11-hole deep RC drilling program (FKGRC379-389) covered an area approximately 60-140m along strike to the north of the Proterozoic dyke (See figure 3). The holes were focused on testing the along strike and down dip extent of high-grade gold at Kat Gap. The holes were drilled now to make the way clear for future surface mine infrastructure. Holes were drilled to an average depth of 150m below surface and were drilled on 20m x 20m and 20m x 40m grid spacings.

The drilling intersected several zones of high-grade gold mineralisation down plunge and along strike from previous high-grade results. Most of the deep drilling was focused on the northern extremities of the known deeper gold mineralisation looking for extensions. Much of the drilling intersected relatively narrow zones of low-grade gold suggesting the plunge component of the high-grade gold zone is potentially steeper than anticipated. RC holes FKGRC387 and FKGRC388, which returned high grade intercepts, were drilled further south closest to the Proterozoic dyke than the other holes drilled in this program, indicating a steeper plunge. Further deep drilling down dip/plunge is required closer to the Proterozoic dyke to test this new theory.

Better results from the deep holes include:

  • 5m @ 3.47g/t Au from 155m in FKGRC383

  • 1m @ 8.68g/t Au from 103m in FKGRC385.

  • 3m @ 15.66g/t Au from 151m including 1m @ 41.60g/t Au from 152m in FKGRC387.

  • 6m @ 8.94g/t Au from 142m including 1m @ 44.43g/t Au from 146m in FKGRC388.

  • 1m @ 6.52g/t Au from 171m in FKGRC388.

  • 2m @ 4.87g/t Au from 145m in FKGRC389.

Commencement of Bulk Sample Mining

Classic officially commenced bulk sample mining at its 100% owned Kat Gap Gold Project in mid-August. The processing of this ore sample will assist in calibration of mining and metallurgy parameters prior to full-scale mining and production from its Kat Gap gold project.

Processing of this bulk sample is an important step ahead of full-scale production activities, as it affords the Company the opportunity to test and refine the Gekko plant[1] .

Classic will look to process between 3,000 – 5000 tonnes (t) of ore at between 4 and 6g/t Au for between 350 and 1,000 contained ounces of gold (Au) which is a portion of the current 93koz Mineral Resource.

Results

Geochemistry

1.1 Diamond Drilling Results

  1. Assays were received for diamond hole 21AFDD103, drilled at the Moa Target last quarter, on tenement E28/1904. This hole intersected a broad package of sheared metasediments consisting of predominantly intercalated pelites, psammites and cherts. Minor mafic granulites were also present. Small zones of grunerite-rich meta-banded iron formation (BIF) and cherty exhalites occur through the sequence.

The interval from 138.25m to 167.68m, contains up to 10% pyrrhotite in association with disseminated graphite (Figure 3A) and was coincident with the modelled plate conductor (Figure 4A). This interval returned 29.43m @ 1,563ppm Zn, 508ppm Cu, 50ppb Au and 2.48ppm Ag and correlates with similar intersections in previous RC drilling conducted by Classic Minerals.

Appendix 1: JORC (2012) Table 1

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
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.

==> picture [290 x 76] intentionally omitted <==

• 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.
• 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
custodywas 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.

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 metasedimentmafic 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.

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.
• In almost all cases, the drill holes are
perpendicular to the mineralisation.
The true width is not expected to
deviate much from intersection
width.

• 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’).
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

SUPPLEMENTARYINFORMATION– JORC CODETABLE1 CHECKLIST
**SECTION1 – FRASERRANGEDRILLINGRESULTS – SAMPLINGTECHNIQUES ANDDATA **
JORC Criteria Commentary
Sampling techniques • Sampling included in this public report for the Fraser Range is diamond core drilling (DD)
Drilling techniques • DD:

DD holes were drilled by truck mounted rigs owned and operated by DDH1 Drilling Pty Ltd.

All holes were collared from surface with either PQ-core (85mm diameter) or PQ rock-rolled, which was then reduced to HQ-
core (63.5mm diameter) and subsequently NQ2-core (50.6mm diameter) at depths directed by the IGO geologist.
• All HQ and NQ core collected was oriented using REFLEX ACT III-H or N2 Ezy-Mark orientation tools.
Drill sample recovery • Sample recovery for the DD core loss was recorded by the drillers with any core loss intervals noted on annotated wooden blocks inserted
into the core boxes by the driller.
• For recovery checking and orientation marking purposes, the DD core was reconstructed by IGO’s geologists into continuous runs in an
angle iron cradle.
• DD recoveries were quantified as the ratio of measured core recovered length to drill advance length for each core-barrel run. There were
no material core-loss issues or poor sample recoveries over the sampled intervals.
• DD down hole depths were checked against the depth recorded on the core blocks, and rod counts were routinely carried out and marked
on the core blocks by the drillers to ensure the marked core block depths were accurate.
Logging • Qualitative logging for the DD core was completed using IGO’s in-house logging legends and included lithology, mineralogy, mineralisation,
structural, weathering, colour and other features of the samples.
• Quantitative logging of DD core was completed for geotechnical purposes.
• The total lengths of all drill holes have been logged.
• Photographs of all DD trays are taken and retained on file with the original core trays stored in the core library at the 100% IGO owned
Nova Operation.
• The logging is considered adequate to support downstream exploration studies and follow-up drilling with further DD.
Sub-sampling techniques
and sample preparation
• The DD core was generally subsampled into 0.5 to 1m half-core by cutting the core on an automated wet-diamond-blade core saw.
Exceptions were for duplicate samples of selected intervals, where quarter-core subsamples were cut from the half-core. All samples
submitted for assay were selected from the same side of the core.
• The primary tool used to ensure representative drill core assays was monitoring and ensuring near 100% core recovery.
• Australian Laboratory Services (Perth) – “ALS” prepares each sample by oven drying 2.5 to 3kg of material for 12 hours at 100°C (DRY-
21). Samples are then crushed in a jaw-crusher to 70% passing 6 mm (CRU-21). The entire sample is then pulverized in LM5 grinding
robotic mills with low Cr-steel pulverising bowls (particle size distribution (PSD) target of 85% passing 75m ;PUL-23). A 300g master pulp
is collected for analysis, with the remaining “reject” pulp being retained in storage.
• Quality control procedures involve insertion of certified reference materials, blanks, and collection of duplicates at the pulverisation stage.
Results were within acceptable limits"
Quality of assay data and
laboratory tests
• No geophysical tools or portable XRF instruments were used to determine any element concentrations.
• ALS laboratories, Perth complete pulveriser size checks every 50thsample to ensure particle size distribution compliance as part of routine
internal quality procedures to ensure the target PSD of 85% passing 75 µm is achieved.
• Laboratory quality control processes include the use of internal lab standards using certified reference materials (CRMs) and duplicates.
• CRMs used to monitor accuracy have expected values ranging from low to high grade, and the CRMs were inserted randomly into the
routine sample stream to the laboratory. Cu, Co, Cr, MgO, Ni, SiO2, and Zn were consistently checked for accuracy.
• The results of the CRMs confirm that the laboratory sample assay values have good accuracy and results of blank assays indicate that any
potential sample cross contamination has been minimised.
• CRMs and blanks were routinely inserted at frequencies between 1:10 and 1:20 samples for DD sample streams.
• DD samples were analysed by:

Lithium borate fusion and four- acid digestion, with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) ME-
ICP06) finish for Al, Fe, Na, Ti, Ba, K, P, Ca, Cr, Mg, Mn, Si, and Sr, or an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-
MS; ME-MS81) finish for Ba, Ce, Cr, Cs, Dy, Er, Eu, Ga, Gd, Hf, Ho, La, Lu, Nb, Nd, Pr, Rb, SM, Sn, Sr, Ta, Tb, Th, Tm, U, V,
W, Y, Yb, and Zr. Four- acid digestion of samples, with ICP-AES finish (ME-ICP61) for Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr,
Cu, Fe, Ga, K, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sc, Sr, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, and Zn.

Platinum, Pd and Au were analysed by fire assay and ICP-AES finish (PGM-ICP23).

The combination of digestion methods can be considered near total for all elements.

Loss on ignition (LOI) was determined by robotic thermo gravimetric analysis at 1000C (ME-GRA05).

Verification of sampling
and assaying
• Assay data are imported directly from digital assay files from ALS and are merged into IGO’s acQuire/SQL database by IGO’s Geological
Database Administrator.
• All digital data is backed up regularly in off-site secure servers.
• There have been no adjustments to the assay data.
Location of data points • Surface hole collar locations were determined using either a Leica GPS1200 (expected accuracy is better than ±0.25m for all three
dimensions) or a handheld Garmin GPS unit and averaging for 90 seconds with an expected accuracy of ±6m for easting and northing.
• Drill path gyroscopic surveys were completed at either 10m or 12m intervals down hole using a north seeking REFLEX GYRO SPRINT-IQ
for DD holes.
• The grid system is GDA94/MGA Zone 51 and elevation are in AHD.
Data spacing and
distribution
• The DD drilling target conductive plates generated from surface geophysics (moving loop EM) and/or anomalous geochemistry generated
from RC and soil sampling.
• All samples have been composited using length-weighted intervals for Public Reporting.
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure
• DD from the surface was designed to cross the conductive plate targets at a high angle. Holes have been drilled to provide stratigraphic
coverage.
• True widths of the intervals are often uncertain as the drilling is aimed at finding anomalies not MRE definition.
• The possibility of bias in relation to orientation of geological structure is currently unknown.
Sample security • The chain-of-sample custody to ALS is managed by the IGO staff.
• The DD core was wet cut using a diamond blade and sampled at Nova by IGO staff and contractors
• A sample reconciliation advice is sent by the ALS-Perth to IGO’s Geological Database Administrator on receipt of the samples.
• Any inconsistences between the despatch paperwork and samples received is resolved with IGO before sample preparation commences.
• Sample preparation and analysis is completed only at ALS-Perth.
• The risk of deliberate or accidental loss or contamination of samples is considered very low.
Audits or reviews • No specific external audits or reviews have been undertaken.

geological mapping, and ground EM surveys.
• There has been previous drilling using RC and DD.
Geology • The regional geology setting is a high-grade metamorphic terrane in the Albany Fraser belt of Western Australia.
• Gabbroic intrusions have intruded a metasedimentary package within the belt are host the nickel-copper-cobalt (Ni-Cu-Co) mineralisation.
• The deposits are analogous to many mafic hosted nickel-copper deposits worldwide such as the Raglan, Voisey’s Bay in Canada, and Norilsk
in Russia.
• The sulphide mineralisation is interpreted to be related to the intrusive event with mineralisation occurring in several styles including massive,
breccia, network texture, blebby and disseminated sulphides.
• The main sulphide mineral is pyrrhotite, with nickel and cobalt associated with pentlandite and copper associated with chalcopyrite.
• The region is considered by IGO to have the potential to host mafic or ultramafic intrusion related Ni-Cu-Co deposits based on the discovery of
the Ni-Cu-Co Nova-Bollinger Deposit and volcanic hosted massive sulphide deposit based on IGO’s Andromeda exploration prospect.
