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 program 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. This was followed by an 84 collar (5,104m) mine definition RC programme in late 2021. 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.

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

(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 program 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.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (eg 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).

Recent drilling used a REFLEX survey tool to survey
hole deviation. A typical downhole survey was
taken at 12m depth and then every 30m to the end
of hole. Surveying of RC holes utilises 6m of
stainless drill rod to negate the magnetic
interference from the rod string and hammer
assembly. All readings showed that down hole
deviation was negligible.

All collars were picked up by a licensed on site
surveyor.

Hole diameter for all results at the collar was
140mm – 143mm, but may have been decreased
down hole depending on drill bits used.

All Bullseye RC holes at Neptune were downhole
surveyed using a gyroscopic survey tool (a REFLEX
GYRO SPRINT-IQ™).
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 drill sample recovery averaged better than 99%.
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.

All RC chips and diamond core is routinely logged
(qualitatively) by a geologist, to record details of
regolith
(oxidation),
lithology,
structure,
mineralization and/or veining, and alteration. All
logging and sampling data are captured into a
database, with appropriate validation and security
features.
Sub-sampling
techniques and

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter,
half or all core taken.

Most samples are dry and there is no likelihood of
compromised results due to moisture.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
sample
preparation


If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary
split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness
of
the
sample
preparation
technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in-situ material collected,
including
for
instance
results
for
field
duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain
size of the material beingsampled.


This sample technique is industry norm and is
deemed appropriate for the material.

All RC samples were put through a fixed cone
splitter at 1m intervals with the sample reduced to
between a 2kg to 4kg sample.

The 2022 drilling at Neptune used Jinning
Laboratories, Kalgoorlie for RC samples: Jinning –
samples dried at 105° Celsius, crushed and milled
to 85% passing -75µm. Assay was 50g fire assay
with AAS finish for gold.
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 (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy
(ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.

All samples are sent to the accredited Jinning
Laboratories, Kalgoorlie 50g fire assay with AAS
finish for gold. This method has a lower detection
limit of 0.01ppm gold.

Industry-standard QAQC protocols are routinely
followed for all sample batches sent for assay,
which includes the insertion of commercially
available pulp CRMs at rate of 1 for every 20 field
samples and pulp blanks at a rate of 1 for every 50
field samples. Field duplicates were collected at
the rig, directly from the cyclone at a rate of one
in every 50 samples for the entire program.

QAQC data are routinely checked before any
associated
assay
results
are
reviewed
for
interpretation.

All assay data, including internal and external
QA/QC data and control charts of standard,
replicate
and
duplicate
assay
results,
are
communicated electronically.
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.

All field data associated with sampling, and all
associated assay and analytical results, are archived
in a relational database, with industry-standard
verification protocols in place.

The calculations of all significant intercepts (for
drill holes) are routinely checked by senior
management.

Data
verification
and
validation
procedures
undertaken included checks on collar position
against design and site survey collar pick-ups by
Licensed on site surveyors. Hole depths were cross-
checked in the geology logs, down hole surveys,
sample sheets and assay reports to ensure
consistency. All down hole surveys were exposed
to rigorous QAQC and drill traces were plotted in
3D for validation and assessment of global
deviation trends.
Location of data
points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill
holes (collar 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.

The grid system used is MGA_94. The creation of
the topographic surface is based on a site survey
pick-up in March 2014 by GEMS (Glockner
Engineering
and
Mining
Services,
licensed
Australian surveyors) and again in July 2014,
August 2015 and August 2017 of all drill holes and
surface contour points in GDA_94.

Collars of holes drilled have been picked up by
Licensed on site surveyors using a Trimble GNSS
DGPS.

Holes in the database have been flagged as Priority
1 or Priority 2 on the basis of confidence in the
collar location, i.e. they have or have not been
DPGS surveyed.

All Bullseye RC holes at Neptune were downhole
surveyed usingagyroscopic surveytool(a REFLEX

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.

This drill spacing is considered to be sufficient to
establish
geological
and
grade
continuity
appropriate for the declaration of estimates of
resources.

The Neptune drill program adopted a standard
sample length of 1.0m. No composite samples
were taken at Neptune.
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.

Drill holes are usually designed to intersect target
structures with a “close-to-orthogonal” intercept.

Most of the drill holes intersect the mineralised
zones at sufficient angle for the risk of significant
sampling orientation bias to be low.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.

All 2022 RC samples were sampled as single 1m
calico samples, each with a unique sample number.
These calicos were collected from the drill sites in
allotments of 1 tonne bulka bags. These bulka bags
were loaded by Bullseye field staff and delivered to
JinningLabs byroad freight.
Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.

All QAQC data are reviewed routinely, batch by
batch, and on a quarterly basis to conduct trend
analyses, etc. Any issues arising are dealt with
immediately and problems resolved before results
are interpreted and/or reported.

Bullseye have audited and reviewed the near-by
historical
Boundary
database
(including
cataloguing, validating and verifying all hardcopy
and softcopy historical data from Ausmet/Deep
Yellow,Eagle Miningand Julia Mines NL).

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(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.
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.

Details of significant drilling results are shown in
Appendix One and Two.
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 are considered significant
and reported in Appendix One and 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

These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.

All reported intersections are down hole lengths.
True widths are unknown and vary depending on
the orientation of target structures.

Criteria Explanation Commentary
widths and
intercept lengths


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’).
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 One and 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.

Initial
hydrogeological
drilling
has
been
completed.
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 programs are being planned
across all exploration licences.
