ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 5 May 2026
High-Grade Extensions incl. 7m @ 49.9 g/t Au — Illaara Gold Project
HIGHLIGHTS
- Assays have been received for 23 holes (2,088m) of a 57-hole (~4,800m) RC program at Metzke's Find, part of the 100% owned Illaara Gold Project. The extensional program focused on adding near-term production ounces as part of Dreadnought's Finding More Gold, Faster strategy. Importantly, drilling intersected the Metzke's Find shear lode horizon along all drill sections.
- Resource extension drilling has returned the highest-grade intercepts to date from Metzke's Find, including:
- MZRC123: 7m @ 49.9 g/t Au from 67m and
- MZRC119: 5m @ 23.5 g/t Au from 67m
- MZRC124: 5m @ 2.3 g/t Au from 103m
- MZRC121: 2m @ 1.8 g/t Au from 78m
- MZRC121: 2m @ 3.3 g/t Au from 40m
- MZRC120: 2m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 6m
- These results are in addition to previous results which include:
- MZRC076: 6m @ 8.9 g/t Au from 117m
- MZRC104: 1m @ 11.6 g/t Au from 7m
- MZRC072: 2m @ 17.0 g/t Au from 136m
- MZRC068: 2m @ 4.2 g/t Au from 85m
- All results are outside the already high-grade 2023 Resource (14,900 oz @ 6.8 g/t Au, 72% Indicated) and will provide further positive input into the updated and upgraded Resource and study for Metzke's Find (open pit and underground) in July 2026.
Dreadnought Resources Ltd (“Dreadnought”) is pleased to announce results from Resource extension drilling at Metzke's Find, part of the 100% owned Illaara Gold Project, in the Yilgarn region of WA.
Dreadnought's Managing Director, Dean Tuck, commented: "Our Resource extension drilling program is off to an explosive start producing two of the highest-grade intercepts yet seen at Metzke's Find. Importantly, all results are outside the current high-grade Resource.
Advancing Metzke's Find towards development is a key component of our expanded Finding More Gold, Faster strategy and feeds directly into becoming a self-funded explorer by adding near term production ounces. Our high-grade Metzke's Find Resource is a great commercial opportunity.
We look forward to the other half of the drilling results as well as the updated and upgraded Resource, initial study and finalising approval related work in the coming months. In the meantime, our team remains busy with the discovery focused air core program which is in full swing at Illaara."

Overview of Drilling Program
Metzke's Find is comprised of historic workings containing ~20 shafts over ~700m of strike. In 2023, Dreadnought declared a shallow, high-grade Resource of 14,900 oz @ 6.8 g/t Au (72% Indicated).
Historically, mineralisation was thought to terminate at a cross-cutting Proterozoic dyke located just north of the historic workings. Recent drilling has extended mineralisation by ~250m north of those workings with significant intercepts including MZRC103: 10m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 20m including 2m @ 5.8 g/t Au from 22m.
A total of 57 holes (~4,800m) were drilled to add to the Resource along strike and at shallow depths and to upgrade even more of the Resource to Indicated. Importantly, drilling intersected the Metzke's Find shear lode horizon along all drill sections. Results have been received for the first 23 holes (2,088m) of the program including:
MZRC123: 7m @ 49.9 g/t Au from 67m and
MZRC121: 2m @ 3.3 g/t Au from 40m
MZRC119: 5m @ 23.5 g/t Au from 67m
MZRC124: 5m @ 2.3 g/t Au from 103m
All results are outside the already high-grade 2023 Resource (14,900 oz @ 6.8 g/t Au, 72% Indicated) and will provide further positive input into the updated and upgraded Resource and study for Metzke's Find (open pit and underground) in July 2026.
The coarse-grained nature of gold mineralisation was recently confirmed through metallurgical test work which produced strong gravity recovery (averaging 78.5% with combined gravity and CIL recoveries averaging 98.9%). All recent drilling at Metzke's Find has been assayed by Photon Assay which is a more reliable methodology for this style of mineralisation which was unavailable to previous drilling.
Encouragingly, the shallow drilling confirmed that the historic workings are less extensive than previously thought with only three shallow holes intersecting workings. A LIDAR survey of the workings is scheduled for June 2026 which will further assist with mapping the workings. This work will also assist with Resource and study work.
Final assays are expected in June 2026 with the Resource update and upgrade to immediately follow.

Background on Metzke's Find
Metzke's Find was discovered by a prospecting party in 1911. The remote location, being 160km from the nearest railhead, and lack of readily available fresh water limited follow up work. Metzke's Find was worked on a few occasions over the following decades for a recorded production of ~890 oz @ ~40 g/t Au. Metzke's Find comprises ~20 small, historic shafts over ~700m of strike.
The only significant exploration at Metzke's Find was in the late 1980s and early 1990s by junior gold explorers who drilled shallow percussion holes (average ~24m) which recorded a number of attractive results including:
MZ07: 5m @ 4.0 g/t Au from 11m
MZ25: 1m @ 18.0 g/t Au from 22m
MZ19: 2m @ 15.7 g/t Au from 19m
MZ23: 3m @ 11.7 g/t Au from 18m
Dreadnought acquired Metke's Find in 2020 and has completed RC and diamond drilling which also delivered significant results including:
MZRC022: 4m @ 10.5 g/t Au from 19m
MZRC017: 7m @ 7.5 g/t Au from 51m
MZRC019: 4m @ 19.9 g/t Au from 45m
MZRC016: 3m @ 21.0 g/t Au from 85m
Mineralisation at Metzke's Find is hosted within a series of stacked, moderately dipping quartz lodes up to 4m thick that occasionally overlap hosted within a mafic sequence with sulphidic interflow sediments.
The main deposit scale structural control is a north-south trending shear zone that consists of a series of steep (70–90°) southwest dipping shear planes and parallel quartz veins with dominate sinistral reverse movement and moderate to steep (55–70°) west dipping schistosity. The intersection between shear planes and shear schistosity controls an apparent north shoot plunge.
In 2023, a Resource (72% Indicated) was declared with the majority of mineralisation being contained within 140m of surface. The current Resource is shown below.
Metallurgical testwork from Metzke's Find has confirmed that mineralisation is free-milling (non-refractory) coarse gold and amendable to conventional extraction methods including a strong gravity recovery (averaging 78.5%) with combined gravity and CIL recoveries averaging 98.9%.

Background on Illaara
Illaara is a consolidated landholding covering ~800km² and ~70km strike of a greenstone belt located ~190km from Kalgoorlie. Illaara is one of the most underexplored greenstone belts in the Yilgarn Craton and is situated nearby to mills at Davyhurst (OBM.ASX) and Bottle Creek (Aurenne).
Historically gold was worked at Metzke's Find and the nearby Lawrence's Find in the early 1900s. However, the remoteness, lack of water and access hindered early prospecting.
Recent exploration within Illaara was spurred on by a ~55km long Au-As-Sb anomaly generated from regional regolith sampling by the Geological Survey of Western Australia which led to Newmont acquiring Illaara in 2016. Prior to Newmont, iron ore companies held the project as part of the Koolyanobbing Iron Ore Operation. Given the long history of iron ore mining in the region, Illaara is well situated in relation to existing road and rail infrastructure.
Dreadnought acquired Illaara from Newmont in 2019 and has consolidated the rest of the greenstone belt through a series of acquisitions. Early drilling by Dreadnought focused on the historical workings at Metzke's Find resulting in a high-grade Resource (14,900 oz @ 6.8 g/t Au) that remains open along strike and at depth. Given the lack of systematic exploration, Illaara presents a strong opportunity to make a major gold discovery within the world-renowned Yilgarn Craton.

Snapshot — Illaara Gold (100%)
Illaara Gold is Large Scale and Underexplored
- Illaara covers over 70 strike km and ~800km² of the Illaara Greenstone Belt within the richly endowed Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia.
- The Illaara Greenstone Belt is one of the most under explored and under drilled greenstone belts in the Yilgarn providing plenty of space for a major discovery.
- Covering ~800km², it’s a significant consolidated landholding within a tightly held and highly prospective gold province.
Consolidation Provides for First Ever Modern Exploration
- All historical workings and known gold occurrences relate to outcropping mineralisation. There has been minimal historical and modern exploration due to remoteness and iron ore exploration.
- 2026 will see the first ever systematic air core drilling program undertaken across the belt, a drilling program that previous owners Newmont wanted to undertake prior to Dreadnought acquiring the project in 2019 and consolidating the remainder of the belt.
Significant, Step-change, Growth Potential
- Illaara contains multiple highly prospective structural corridors with known gold anomalous providing near term drilling targets and discovery potential.
- Dreadnought is deploying modern geochemical and geophysical techniques to explore for mineralisation under shallow cover.
Shallow, High-grade Gold at Metzke’s Find
- The Resource at Metzke’s contains shallow, high-grade gold which provides a strong foundation for the project.
- Mineralisation at Metzke’s Find remains open along strike and at depth.

Self-Funded Explorer Strategy — Pathway to Production
- Dreadnought’s strategy is to transform into a self-funded explorer. This includes a high-grade open pit at the Metzke’s Find where funding, development, haulage & processing are outsourced to third parties. This is a common model in WA given the robust gold price. In this way, there is reduced reliance on market funding and internal cashflows are aimed at making life-changing discoveries.

Mangaroon Project
Mangaroon covers ~5,000km² and is located 250km south-east of Exmouth in the Gascoyne Region of WA. Since 2020, Dreadnought has identified three major focus areas within the Mangaroon Project:
Mangaroon Gold (100%)
Outcropping gold mineralisation was first identified and mined at Mangaroon by local pastoralists and prospectors in the 1960s and has seen no modern gold exploration. Dreadnought has consolidated this gold field and is undertaking the first modern exploration across the region which has identified five camp scale gold opportunities at Bordah, High Range, Alma, Minga Bar and Star of Mangaroon.
In addition, the project contains granted mining leases that provide an opportunity for cashflow including the Star of Mangaroon Mine where Dreadnought has delivered a 23,400 oz Resource at 12.8 g/t Au (84% Indicated)
Gifford Creek Critical Metals (100%)
Dreadnought discovered the Yin Ironstones and the Gifford Creek Carbonatite in 2021. Since then, the Gifford Creek Carbonatite Complex has emerged as a globally significant, rapidly growing, potential source of critical minerals. Highlights include:
- Discovery of the Yin REE Ironstone Complex and delivery of a 30.0 Mt @ 1.04% TREO Resource over only ~4.6km – including a Measured and Indicated Resource of 26.3 Mt @ 1.04% TREO (ASX 30 Nov 2023).
- Discovery of the globally significant, Nb-REE-P-Ti-Sc enriched Gifford Creek Carbonatite (ASX 7 Aug 2023).
- Delivery of a large, independent initial Resource of 10.8 Mt @ 1.00% TREO at the Gifford Creek Carbonatites, containing a range of critical minerals including rare earths, niobium, phosphate, titanium and scandium (ASX 28 Aug 2023).
- Discovery of Stinger Nb-REE-P-Ti-Sc-Zr bearing carbonatite and delivery of the Stinger Niobium Exploration Target (ASX 3 Mar 2025, 29 Sept 2025).
Money Intrusion Ni-Cu-PGEs (Teck Earn-In)
The Money Intrusion is a ~45km long mafic intrusion prospective for Ni-Cu-PGE massive sulphides. In 2023, Dreadnought discovered high tenor nickel-copper massive sulphides confirming the potential of this new system. Dreadnought entered in to a $15M Farm-In and Joint Venture agreement with Teck Resources, a leading Canadian resource company, to earn up to 75% of the Money Intrusion tenements.
Illaara Gold Project (100%)
Illaara is located ~190km northwest of Kalgoorlie in the Yilgarn Craton. The project comprises ~800km² covering ~70km of strike along the Illaara greenstone belts. Illaara was acquired off Newmont in 2019 as an early stage exploration project prospective for typical Archean mesothermal lode gold deposits. Dreadnought has delivered a 14,900 oz @ 6.8 g/t Au Resource at Metzke's Find (72% Indicated). Prior to consolidation by Dreadnought, Illaara was predominantly held by iron ore explorers and remains highly prospective for iron ore amongst other commodities.
Kimberley Cu-Au-Sb Project (Tarraji 80% / Yampi 100%)
Tarraji-Yampi covers ~420km² is located only 85km from Derby in the West Kimberley region of WA and was locked up as a Defence Reserve since 1978. The project has outcropping mineralisation and historical workings which have seen no modern exploration.
In 2021, Dreadnought discovered high grade Cu-Au massive sulphides at Orion with results to date indicating a large scale, Proterozoic Cu-Au VMS system at Tarraji-Yampi, similar to DeGrussa and Monty in the Bryah Basin.
In addition, the project contains outcropping high-grade Cu-Ag-Sb-Bi Veins at Rough Triangle and Grant's Find.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition — Table I Report Template
Section I 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 (e.g. 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 (e.g. ‘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 (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. | Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was undertaken to produce samples for assay. | |
| RC Drilling | ||
| Two sampling techniques were utilised for the RC drilling, 1m metre splits directly from the rig sampling system for each metre and 3m composite sampling from spoil piles. Samples submitted to the laboratory were determined by the site geologist. | ||
| 1m Splits | ||
| From every metre drilled a 2–3kg sample (split) was sub-sampled into a calico bag via a Metzke cone splitter from each metre of drilling. | ||
| 3m Composites | ||
| All remaining spoil from the sampling system was collected in buckets from the sampling system and neatly deposited in rows adjacent to the rig. An aluminium scoop was used to then sub-sample each spoil pile to create a 2–3kg 3m composite sample in a calico bag. | ||
| A pXRF is used on site to help determine mineralised samples. Mineralised intervals have the 1m split collected, while unmineralised samples have 3m composites collected. | ||
| All samples are submitted to ALS Laboratories in Perth for determination of gold by Photon assay from crushed sample (ALS Method Au-PA01). | ||
| Select samples are also submitted for 48 multi-elements via 4 acid digestion with MS/ICP finish (ALS Code ME-MS61) to assist with lithological interpretation. | ||
| QAQC samples consisting of duplicates, blanks and CRM’s (OREAS Standards) are inserted through the program at a rate of 1:50 samples. | ||
| Drilling techniques | • Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. 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.). | RC Drilling |
| Drilling was completed by Precision Exploration Drilling (PXD) utilising a KWL 350 truck mounted drill rig with additional air from an auxiliary compressor and booster. Bit size was 5¼”. | ||
| 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. | RC Drilling | |
| Drilling was undertaken using a ‘best practice’ approach to achieve maximum sample recovery and quality through the mineralised zones. | ||
| Best practice sampling procedure included: suitable usage of dust suppression, suitable shroud, lifting off bottom between each metre, cleaning of sampling equipment, ensuring a dry sample and suitable supervision by the supervising geologist to ensure good sample quality. | ||
| 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. | RC Drilling | |
| RC chips were logged under the supervision of a Senior Geologist with sufficient experience in this geological terrane and relevant styles of mineralisation using an industry standard logging system which could eventually be utilised within a Mineral Resource Estimation. | ||
| Lithology, mineralisation, alteration, veining, weathering and texture were all recorded digitally. | ||
| Chips were washed each metre and stored in chip trays for preservation and future reference. | ||
| RC pulp material is also analysed on the rig by pXRF, and magnetic susceptibility meter to assist with logging and the identification of mineralisation. | ||
| RC logging is qualitative, quantitative or semi-quantitative in nature. | ||
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample | • If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. | RC Drilling |
| From every metre drilled, a 2–3kg sample (split) was sub- |

| QAQC in the form of duplicates and CRM's (OREAS Standards) were inserted through the ore zones at a rate of 1:50 samples. Additionally, within mineralised zones, a duplicate sample was taken and a blank inserted directly after. 2–3kg samples are submitted to ALS laboratories (Perth), oven dried to 105°C and crushed to >90% passing 3mm to produce a 500g charge for determination of gold by Photon Assay from crushed sample (ALS Method Au-PA01). | ||
| Additional material is then pulverised to 85% passing 75um to produce a 0.25g charge for determination of 48 multi-elements via 4 acid digestion with MS/ICP finish (ALS Code ME-MS61). | ||
| Standard laboratory QAQC is undertaken and monitored. | ||
| 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 (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. | Laboratory Analysis | |
| Photon Assay is considered a total analysis and Method Au-PA01 is appropriate for Au determination. ME-MS61 is considered a near total digest and is appropriate for pathfinder determination. | ||
| Standard laboratory QAQC is undertaken and monitored by the laboratory and by the company upon assay result receival. | ||
| 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. | Logging and Sampling | |
| Logging and sampling were recorded directly into a digital logging system, verified and eventually stored in an offsite database. | ||
| Significant intersections are inspected by senior company personnel. | ||
| No diamond twinning has been undertaken at this time.. | ||
| No adjustments to any assay data have been undertaken. | ||
| Additional 1m splits have been sent to the lab for the 3m composites that have returned mineralisation. And all mineralised intervals will be reassayed by PhotonAssay Technique. | ||
| Location of data points | • Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (callar 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. | Collar position was recorded using a Emlid Reach RS2 RTK GPS system (+/- 0.3m x/y, +/-0.5m z). | |
| GDA94 Z50s is the grid format for all xyz data reported. | ||
| Azimuth and dip of the drill hole was recorded by PXD after the completion of the hole using an Axis Champ Gyro. A reading was undertaken every 20^{th} metre with an accuracy of +/- 0.75" azimuth and +/-0.15" dip. | ||
| 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. | Data spacing of drill results is varied. | |
| Drill spacing at Metzke's North is not suitable for Mineral Resource Estimation. Drilling at Metzke's Find is of adequate spacing and distribution to review the already published Metzke's Find Resource. | ||
| Both 3m scoop composites and 1m splits are collected. | ||
| 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. | Drilling was undertaken at a near perpendicular angle to the interpreted strike and dip of the mineralised lode. | |
| No sample bias is known at this time. | ||
| True widths are estimated to be between 70–90% of down hole lengths. | ||
| Sample security | • The measures taken to ensure sample security. | All geochemical samples were collected, bagged, and sealed by Dreadnought staff and were delivered directly to ALS Laboratories Kalgoorlie by Dreadnought Contractors and/or Personnel. |
| Audits or reviews | • The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. | The program is continuously reviewed by senior company personnel. |

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | IORC 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 Illaara Project consists of 11 granted Exploration Licenses (E29/957, E29/959, E29/965, E29/1050, E29/1153, E29/1204, E29/1205, E30/471, E30/476, E30/485, E30/554), 1 pending Exploration License (E30/558) and 1 pending Mining License (M29/462). | |
| All tenements are 100% owned by Dreadnought Resources. | ||
| Tenements E30/471, E30/476, E29/957 and E29/959 are subject to a 1% NSR retained by Newmont. | ||
| E29/1050 and M29/462 are subject to a 1% NSR retained by Gianni, Peter Romeo. | ||
| There are currently no clear Native Title Claims over the Illaara Project. | ||
| Part of the Illaara Project is located on Walling Rock Station. | ||
| Exploration done by other parties | • Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. | Newmont Exploration has undertaken exploration activities from 2016-2019 which are mentioned in previous reports. |
| Historical exploration of a sufficiently high standard was carried out by numerous parties which have been outlined and detailed in previous ASX announcements: | ||
| Eastern Group 1988: WAMEX Report A22743 | ||
| Anglo Australian 1995: WAMEX Report A45251 | ||
| Polaris 2006-2007: WAMEX Report A75477 | ||
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. | The Illaara Project is located within the Illaara Greenstone Belt within the Southern Cross Domain of the Youanmi Terrane approximately 60kms west of the Ida Fault; |
| The Illaara Project is prospective for orogenic gold, iron ore, LCT pegmatites, VMS and komatiite hosted nickel mineralisation; | ||
| Mineralisation at Metzke's is quartz vein hosted within sheared undifferentiated mafic rocks. | ||
| 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: | |
| ○ easting and northing of the drill hole collar | ||
| ○ elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar | ||
| ○ dip and azimuth of the hole | ||
| ○ down hole length and interception depth | ||
| ○ 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. | An overview of the drilling program is given within the text and tables within this document. | |
| Data aggregation methods | • In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. 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. | All sample intervals with a minimum length of 1m and assays greater than 0.1 g/t Au have been reported. | |
| No top cuts have been applied to exploration results. | ||
| No metal equivalents are reported. | ||
| 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 (e.g. 'down hole length, true width not known'). | All intercepts are reported as downhole lengths. | |
| Drilling was undertaken at a near perpendicular angle to the interpreted strike and dip of the mineralised lodes. | ||
| True widths are estimated to be between 70–90% of down hole lengths. |
