Metzke’s Find Corridor (12km strike)

  • Significant historical workings, has not been drilled since the 1990s

  • High grade gold confirmed and currently being drilled at Metzke’s Find

  • Multiple drill targets recently defined within the corridor

Central Illaara Corridor (10km strike)

  • Newmont concept – Felsic intrusive hosted gold (e.g. Wallaby / Jupiter)

  • Target definition work ongoing

Lawrence’s Corridor (10km strike)

  • Target generation work to commence 2020

  • Target generation work has only commenced on ~25% of gold prospective ground across Illaara

Iron Ore

  • Multiple high grade iron, low phosphorous prospects drilled 2008-2013

  • Several regional iron ore players including Mineral Resources, Jupiter and MacArthur Minerals

  • Potential for near term commercialisation

Metzke’s South

  • Ultrafine soils have identified an ~1.2km long southern extension of the Metzke’s mineralised structure

  • Additionally, an ~1.5km long gold-in-soil anomaly identified along a splay lode with associated pathfinder anomalism

  • RC Drilling to commence in November 2020 with assay results expected December 2020

  • No historical work along strike of Metzke’s Find

  • Multiple discreet gold-in-soil anomalies

  • Longmore’s Find: High grade rock chips, and recently announced bedrock drill intercepts

  • Black Oak: Extensive gold-in-soil anomaly with significant oxide gold anomalism confirmed in first pass drilling

  • Bald Hill: Multiple lodes and rock chips up to 2g/t Au

  • Target definition work ongoing around Metzke’s Corridor

Lon more’s Find g

  • The northern end of a ~2km long gold-in-soil anomaly which aligned up with the lost gold find by Captain Longmore’s expedition in 1923

  • Small surficial pits dug out by dry blowing, never drill tested

  • First pass RC drilling confirmed high-grade mineralization, similar to Metzke’s Find, including: LMRC005: 1m @ 100g/t Au

  • Follow up RC and Diamond drilling to commence in November 2020

Black Oak

  • Strong ~1.5km long gold-in-soil anomaly which remains open along strike

  • No historical drilling

  • First pass RC drilling confirmed shallow oxide mineralization within a strongly sheared sediment and ultramafic package

  • When combined with Longmore’s Find and Metzke’s Find, underscores the potential of the Metzke’s Corridor to host multiple deposits and styles of mineralization

  • Further target definition work to commence in November 2020 with follow up RC drilling in January/February 2021.

Iron Ore

  • Illaara Project contains significant iron ore potential which was briefly explored by Portman Iron and then Cleveland Cliffs from 2008-2013:

  • High iron and low phosphorus grades compared with regional players

  • Same geology as the high iron, low phosphorus Mt Richardson development

  • Near existing and planned infrastructure and developments

  • Some of the more advanced prospects include:

  • P-North: 29m @ 58.6% Fe, 8.3% SiO2, 3.4% Al2O3, 0.04% P, and 4.0% LOI from 6m • Incl. 16m @ 64.4% Fe, 2.4% SiO2, 1.3% Al2O ~~3~~ , 0.04% P and 3.7% LOI from 8m
