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 |

GYRO SPRINT-IQ™) and are routinely undertaken at ~5m intervals for the 2022 Neptune drilling |
||
| 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. |
Page 15 of 16
==> picture [137 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
| 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. |
