ASX Announcement: 13 December 2019

GATEWAY DOUBLES SIZE OF GIDGEE GOLD PROJECT, WA Major consolidation of greenstone scale prospective gold corridor

HIGHLIGHTS

New acquisitions, strategic joint venture and new Exploration Licence Applications expand the core Gidgee Gold Project to 480km[2] and secures highly prospective extensions to emerging gold project.

  • Gateway secures additional prospective tenements covering total area of 262km[2] to the north of its Gidgee Gold Project.

  • New tenements acquired via low-cost acquisition agreements, a strategic joint venture and new Exploration Licence Applications.

  • Project expansion stems from recent exploration breakthroughs at Gidgee following results of a detailed gravity survey, re-processing of airborne magnetic data and drilling success.

  • New ground includes a range of prospective targets ranging from prospects with distinct similarities to the Montague Granodiorite, to Kanowna Belle and Wallaby-type targets.

  • Systematic exploration programs to be planned across the new tenement areas as part of the Company's expanded, multi-pronged exploration push (subject to grant of tenure).

Gateway Mining Limited (ASX: GML) ( Gateway or Company ) is pleased to advise that it has completed a process to significantly expand the Company’s flagship Gidgee Gold Project , Western Australia as part of its ongoing commitment to unlocking the regions Tier-1 gold exploration and development potential.

KEY POINTS

  • Gateway has invested in the collection of high-quality regional datasets to provide a critical understanding of the major structural and stratigraphic controls that impact the Gidgee Gold Project. These datasets include the recently acquired detailed ground gravity survey data[1] and re-processed airborne magnetic data.

  • The collection of quality regional data within an area that has never been subjected to systematic exploration, and is largely under transported cover, provides the ability to effectively target for new exploration opportunities.

  • The data has been used as the basis to target additional tenement areas for consolidation.

  • These new integrated datasets allows for the targeting of (Figures 1 and 2):

    • Intrusions similar to the Montague Granodiorite that have not previously been identified in the region. These intrusions are considered as high-ranking targets for future programs of exploration.

    • Gold deposit styles based on other high-value analogues such as the Kanowna Belle and Wallaby gold deposits.

    • Volcanic hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) copper-zinc-gold systems as identified at the Flametree Prospect VHMS Project. The new gravity dataset can be utilised to help identify sub-volcanic intrusions that would help focus any future exploration initiative targeting base metals.

MANAGEMENT COMMENT

Gateway’s Managing Director, Mr Peter Langworthy, said the Company has taken the opportunity to consolidate key areas immediately contiguous with our flagship Gidgee Gold Project.

“We have been building our belief that the Gidgee Gold Project is located within a major mineralised corridor that really hasn’t been viewed in this way previously. There has been a lack of a systematic exploration and the fact that the majority of the trend is covered by transported cover means historically the Prospector’s have not identified any mineralisation”.

“We have now invested in collecting and re-processing key geophysical, geochemical and drilling datasets, which has resulted in identifying areas we think have a lot of potential in the medium to long term”.

“The transactions we have completed to consolidate this new ground has been done at low cost, but at the same time provides upside to our new project partners in the event of a significant discovery”.
