Retraction and Amendment - ASX Announcement dated 5 July 2022
Reason for Retraction and Amendment
In accordance with ASX listing rules 5.8.1, 5.8.2 and 5.22, ASX has informed the Company that the disclosure of Bullseye Mining Limited’s (Bullseye) previously reported mineral resources requires the consent of a competent person. As the competent person who previously consented to the mineral resources is no longer an employee of Bullseye and the Company has not yet carried out sufficient work to verify the Mineral Resource Statement, references to the mineral resources previously reported have been removed from this ASX announcement. This announcement includes additional disclosure in relation to the intersections previously reported in Bullseye’s Supplementary Target Statement dated 21 February 2022 (refer Appendix One) and an amended competent person (refer Competent Persons statement). Investors should not rely on the information that has been retracted from the Company’s 5 July 2022 ASX announcement.

*** Previously reported intersection from Bullseye’s Supplementary Target Statement dated 21 February 2022, recalculated to JORC table parameters**
Emerald’s Managing Director, Morgan Hart, commented:
“The Neptune drilling campaign which commenced in 2021 and continued through to 2022 aimed to target extensions and infill the known mineralisation in the Neptune portion of the 6.4km Boundary through to Bungarra mineralised trend. These results have increased the density of information on the Neptune and Neptune North prospects and will be used by Emerald to estimate a maiden JORC resource.
“This drilling will complement the 98,000m resource definition drilling programme which Emerald’s experienced development and geological team has formulated to initially focus on the Boundary through Bungarra mineralised zone which, once completed will total circa 150,000m of new drilling available to estimate an updated North Laverton resource and a maiden reserve estimate.
”As announced on 3 June 2022, this drilling programme and future exploration and development will be funded using Bullseye’s existing cash reserves and ongoing prorata entitlement offers to Bullseye shareholders as required.”

Neptune Gold Prospect
The Neptune Prospect is a 430m south-eastern extension of Bullseye’s Boundary Prospect. A 23 collar (2,140m) resource definition programme was completed in early 2021 (see Appendix One). This was followed by an 84 collar (5,104m) mine definition RC programme in late 2021 (see Appendix One). In early 2022, a further 24 collar (4,005m) RC resource definition programme and 64 collar (3,092m) infill mine definition RC programme was completed (see Appendix Two).The significant results are reported below in Tables 1, 2 and 3.

North Laverton Gold Project
The North Laverton Gold Project consists of 32 exploration licences (including 2 applications) and 4 mining licences controlling the entire Dingo Range greenstone belt which covers more than 800km[2] of tenure (refer Figures 1 and 2) and has the potential to host multiple standalone deposits or satellite deposits to supply additional ore to central mill. It includes the Boundary, Neptune, Stirling, Hurleys and Bungarra Prospects over a 6.4km greenstone strike length (refer Figure 2).

Appendix Three | JORC Code, 2012 Edition | ‘Table 1’ Report
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data from Neptune 2022 Drilling
(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 30g 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. |
• Standards are inserted in sample batches to test laboratory performance. • All Bullseye RC samples were put through a fixed cone splitter at 1m intervals with the sample reduced to between a 2kg to 4kg sample. • Bullseye’s 2022 drill programme at Neptune used Jinning Laboratories, Kalgoorlie for RC samples: • Jinning – samples crushed and milled to <75µm and assayed using fire assay (50g) with additional AAS. |

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results from Neptune 2022 Drilling
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section)
| Criteria | 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 obtaininga licence to operate in the area. |
• The Neptune Gold Prospect is 100% held by Bullseye Mining Limited. The tenure is considered to be secure. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
• Historical drilling was conducted between 1989 – 2005 by companies Julia Mines NL, Eagle Mining NL,DeepYellow NL and Korab Resources Ltd. |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• Geology comprises a basalt country rock and BIF. The Neptune deposit is associated with an approximately 45 degree plunging mineralised lode (or sheets) that have formed in association with the basalt/BIF contact, a large antiform structure and a large cross cutting structure. Gold Mineralisation is as shallow as a few metres below surface, extends to some 100m below surface and is open at depth. • The weathering profile displays a surface laterite, followed by clay/saprolite weathering predominately in association with the weathered basalt. Saprock is encountered earlier in association with weathered BIF. Global fresh rock is encountered from 70m down hole, but weathering is not well advanced at Neptune and hard saprock and fresh rock are encountered in more shallow horizons. • The style of mineralisation is typical of Archean gold mineral systems in the Yilgarn Craton. |
| 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. |
||
| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg 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 clearlystated. |
• No high grade top cuts have been applied. • Only intercepts with a minimum width of 1 metre at a 0.5g/t gold cut-off and over 5 gram metre Au are considered significant and reported in Appendix Two. • The reported significant intersections allow for up to 4m of internal dilution with a lower cut trigger values of greater than 0.5g/t. |
| 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 (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
• All reported intersections are down hole lengths. The majority of the drill holes intersect the mineralised zones at sufficient angle for the risk of significant sampling orientation bias to be low |
| 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 maps and sections are included in the body of this release. |
| 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. |
• All significant drilling results being intersections with a minimum 5 gram metre values are reported in Appendix Two. |
| 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 contaminatingsubstances. |
• Surface geological mapping and detailed structural interpretation have helped inform the geological model at Neptune. |
| 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. |
• Additional drilling programmes are being planned across all exploration licences. |

• 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 30g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
