ASX Announcement 22 April 2021

TNT Mines Ltd (ASX:TIN) (“TNT” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the remainder of results from the maiden reverse circulation (RC) drilling program designed to test four separate target areas at its 100%owned Eureka Gold 50km north of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
All planned drilling has now been completed for a total consideration of 11,441m and 89 holes. All assays excluding three holes drilled 800m south of the pit have now been received.
TNT will now complete a reinterpretation of the existing mineralisation and prepare an updated resource estimate for Eureka in the coming weeks.
North East Extension
Drillhole WRRC0052 intersected 6m @ 2.78g/t Au from 114m approximately 150m north-east of the current pit in a previously untested portion of the structure. Furthermore WRRC0059, collared some 175m to the north-east along the same interpreted trend, intersected a broad interval of 8m @ 1.14 g/t Au including 4m @ 1.75 g/t Au (4m composite being resampled now) from 112m in altered basalt with quartz veining. The mineralisation is open in all directions along strike up and down dip. This area is now a priority target area for the next round of drilling due to commence in early May once the Reids Ridge program is completed.

Northern High-Grade Area
Drillholes WRRC0019 and WRRC0095 intersected 4m @ 10.99 g/t Au from 42m and 6m @ 4.17g/t Au from 52m in a previously untested area north-east of the high-grade historical workings 600m north of the Eureka Pit. The mineralisation is contained within a sheared quartz-rich oxidised mafic unit shallow dipping at 45 degrees to the south-east and remains open at depth and to the north-east where the mineralisation is now interpreted to be striking. Follow up drilling is being designed for this area and will be undertaken in the next program.

Reids Ridge Commenced
Drilling is now underway at Reids Ridge with the area below the historic mine targeted in this first pass campaign. Drilling conditions have been difficult with several holes abandoned due to equipment failure and excessive deviation from planned targets. Three (3) holes to date have pierced the structure with visible gold encountered in RRRC0003 at 160-161m down hole directly adjacent to existing underground workings. RRRC0004 and RRRC0005 also encountered highly altered quartz-basalt with minor sulphides up to 1-2% by volume. In RRRC0003, up to 5% by volume of sulphides including arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite and minor pyrite were encountered in conjunction with smoky quartz, minor visible gold (<1%), chlorite and sheared basalt. Hole locations are shown in Figure 7 below. Drilling is continuing and planned to be complete by the end of April.
All of these holes have been submitted for assaying at Bureau Veritas Labs in Perth, with assays expected shortly.

Visual estimates are based on geological observations of the RC drill chips utilising a hand lens which typically magnifies the drill chips between 5-20%. The Company has observed disseminated sulphides in the RC chips which it estimates to represent up to 5% of the total rock volume.
In relation to the disclosure of visual mineralisation, the Company cautions that visual estimates of sulphide and oxide material abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis. Laboratory assay results are required to determine the widths and grade of the visible mineralisation reported in preliminary geological logging. The Company will update the market when laboratory analytical results become available.

CEO Matthew Boyes commented on these initial drill results, “The results from the northern high grade area and the north-east extension at Eureka are very encouraging as little to no previous exploration has been carried out testing structures in those areas. The north-east area is of particular interest as in excess of 2,000m of strike remains untested. We are looking forward to having a rig back onsite in the coming weeks to follow up on those targets.
In the meantime, Reids Ridge drilling is continuing and we will be commencing an independent resource update for Eureka along with some updated optimisation numbers for the new Eureka resource.”
Next Steps
TNT intends to return to Eureka and follow up on the initial drill program once the first pass drilling at Reids Ridge is completed at the end of April. Program design is currently being finalised with early estimates suggesting 3,000-4,000m of drilling is required. A soil geochemical program has been completed over the remainder of the Eureka tenement area with samples now submitted and results expected in late April. A geophysical IP survey is being planned for the north-western portion of the M59-0755 tenement at Reids Ridge to better understand the relationship between the large granodioritic intrusive and the main Reids Ridge structure.

|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
• All samples were collected from a static cone splitter mounted directly below the cyclone on rig. Samples were taken as 1m splits or 4m composites utilizing by scoop collection directly after collection or a composite collected by addition of 4 individual 1m splits • This method of sampling is considered to be appropriate for this style of exploration |
| Drilling techniques | • All drilling was completed by Strike Drilling utilizing a Schramm T450 Reverse Circulation rig utilizing 4”1/4 face sampling bit. Industry standard drilling methods and equipment was utlised |
| Drill sample recovery |
• No sample recovery was calculated or recorded for this program • Sample condition was recorded for every metre including noting presence of water or minimal sample return |
| Logging | • Geological logging of all drillholes followed standard company procedures. Qualitive logging of samples includes lithology, mineralogy, alteration, veining and weathering. All chip trays are photographed and and every metre is logged sieved and securely stored • Logging is suitable to support Mineral resource estimates and subsequent mining studies |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
• 1m cyclone splits through a static splitter mounted directly beneath the cyclone and 4m composite samples were taken in the field. 4m composites were either scoop sampled from bagged sample. Samples were analysed at SGS Laboratories in Kalgoorlie. Samples were pulverized so that each sample had a nominal 85% passing 75 microns. A 30g allotment was then analysed by fire assay method FA30. All sample weights were recorded and reported. • All batches sent to lab included duplicate and industry standard CRM’s inserted at suitable frequency within the sample batches |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
• All samples were prepared and assayed by industry standard techniques and methods |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
• Certified reference material and duplicates were inserted at approximately every 20 samples • A third party independent database consultant has processed and verified the QAQC data and sampling interval data |
| Location of data points |
• Drillhole collars were designed and then pegged using a handheld GPS unit, all completed holes have been surveyed by an independent third party to an accuracy of approximately +/- 1cm, Locations are recorded in UTM coordinates • Downhole surveys were completed by Strike drilling using a Gyro instrument |
| Data spacing and distribution |
• Drillhole spacing is variable throughout the program • Spacing is considered appropriate for this style of exploration and development drilling |

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results Eureka
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
• Drilling has been carried on 3 separate tenements, two mining and one prospecting licence M24/189, P24/5116 and M24/565 all controlled 100% by TNT Mines through its 100% owned subsidiary Warriedar Mining Pty Ltd. The tenements are located 51.5km North of Kalgoorlie at the existing Eureka mine site • All tenements are in good standing at the time of the drilling |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Eureka Mine site has mined for the most part in the early 1990’s and then subject to tribute mining in 2018. Limited exploration has been carried out since the 1990’s with drilling located close to existing pit with the objective of following the existing mineralisation down dip |
| Geology | • The Eureka gold project is located within a sequence of mafic and ultramafic rocks forming part of the Kalgoorlie-Menzies sector of the Norseman to Wiluna Greenstone belt. The sequence is approximately 6 kilometers wide with a northerly trend. In the vicinity of the Eureka mine the sequence generally has an easterly dip of between 65 to 70 degrees paralleled by regional foliation and metamorphism. • Mineralisation is hosted with a sheared/faulted mafic package dipping to the East at approximately 70 degrees, mineralisation is associated with numerous quartz veins with and associated proximal alteration, base of oxidation extends down to approximately 120m at the Eureka mine area mineralisation is up to 30m in thickness |
| Drill hole Information | • A list of the drill hole coordinates, orientations and metrics are provided as an appended table |
| Data aggregation methods |
• No grade truncations were applied to these exploration results. A weighted average calculation was used to allow for bottom of hole composites that were less than the standard 4m. No metal equivalents are used |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
• The geometry of the mineralisation is known with the main quartz vein hosted mineralisation interpreted to be dipping at 70 degrees to the east all drill intercepts are estimated to represent 85-90% of the true width of mineralisation intersected, only drillhole WRRC0081 is considered to have been orientated in a manner where the intersected mineralisation represents approximately 60% of true width |
| Diagrams | • Figures have been included in the announcement |
| Balanced reporting | • It is not practical to report all historical exploration results from the Eureka project |
| Other substantive exploration data |
• Exploration at the Eureka project was previously carried out by Tyranna resources during 2018-2019, results of this work have been previously released including a resource estimate and updated economic assessment |
