LETTER FROM THE BULLSEYE CHAIRMAN
17 February 2022
Dear Shareholder
TAKEOVER OFFER BY EMERALD RESOURCES NL
As you are aware, on 7 December 2021 Emerald Resources NL ( Emerald ) announced an off-market takeover offer of Bullseye Mining Limited ( Bullseye ) to acquire all of the Bullseye Shares ( Offer ). The Offer was recommended by the Bullseye Board, in the absence of a superior proposal. Under the Offer, Emerald is offering each accepting Bullseye Shareholder 1 Emerald Share for every 3.43 Bullseye Shares held.
You should have received Emerald’s Bidder’s Statement in relation to (and containing) the Offer, which Emerald announced on 13 December 2021 had been sent to all Bullseye Shareholders. You should similarly have received the Target’s Statement which was produced by Bullseye in relation to the Offer and which was sent to all Bullseye Shareholders on 28 December 2021. This Supplementary Target’s Statement sets out additional and supplementary information to that contained in the Target’s Statement.
On 7 February 2022, the Takeovers Panel made a declaration of unacceptable circumstances and final orders in relation to the affairs of Bullseye following an application dated 6 January 2022 by Hongkong Xinhe International Investment Company Limited ( Xinhe ) in connection with the Offer. This Supplementary Target’s Statement has been prepared in response to an order made by the Panel in that regard for Bullseye to provide supplementary disclosure to Bullseye Shareholders. Please see section 2 of this Supplementary Target’s Statement for more details.
Status of the Offer
Based on the last trading price of Emerald Shares of $1.10 as at the close of trading on 17 February 2022 (being the date of this Supplementary Target’s Statement), the Offer currently values Bullseye at approximately $143 million, or a value of approximately $0.32 per Bullseye Share. Bullseye Shareholders should note, however, that the trading price of Emerald shares on ASX will be liable to fluctuate during the balance of the Offer Period, such that the value of the Offer (which is based on a fixed ratio of 1 Emerald Share for every 3.43 Bullseye Shares) may be greater or less than its current value as at a particular point in time.
On 6 January 2022, Emerald declared that the Offer was free of defeating conditions (ie the Offer is now unconditional). As at the date of this Supplementary Target’s Statement, Emerald has a relevant interest in 55.87% of the total number of Bullseye Shares on issue.
Since the date on which the Offer was announced, no Superior Proposal has emerged. Bullseye Shareholders should note that as announced by Bullseye on 7 February 2022, the Board has recently received an unsolicited communication from Au Xingao Investment Pty Ltd ( Xingao ), a related entity of Xinhe (a substantial shareholder in Bullseye), advising of that company’s intention to make a cash offer for Bullseye Shares. Please see section 7.3 of this Supplementary Target’s Statement for more details. Bullseye Shareholders should note that Xingao has not at this stage made a takeover bid for Bullseye (rather, it has only announced its intention to do so) and the only live offer which has been made to Bullseye Shareholders as at the date of this Supplementary Target’s Statement is the Offer.

Board Recommendation
After careful consideration, the Directors continue to unanimously recommend that you ACCEPT the Offer in the absence of a Superior Proposal.[1] The Directors’ reasons for maintaining their recommendation are the same reasons as are set out in detail in section 1 of the Target’s Statement. The Board’s recommendation is based on the Offer as it currently stands as at the date of this Supplementary Target’s Statement, but may be reconsidered should circumstances change.
Despite their recommendation of the Offer, the Directors note that, as with any transaction, there are risks in accepting the Offer. These risks are outlined in section 8 of the Bidder’s Statement and sections 4 and 8 of the Target’s Statement and include:
-
potentially unfavourable tax consequences, in particular the unavailability of CGT rollover relief should Emerald fail to acquire at least 80% of the Bullseye Shares under the Offer;
-
the fact that Bullseye has not independently verified Emerald’s publicly available information;
-
that the price of Emerald Shares, which constitute the consideration offered by Emerald under the Offer, will fluctuate in value;
-
integration risks associated with the Combined Group;
-
exposure to additional risks relating to the Combined Group as a result of the change in investment profile; and
-
the fact that, in accepting the Offer, Bullseye Shareholders will be unable to accept any Superior Proposal which might thereafter emerge.
Clarification of previous statements concerning Offer price
Offer represents the highest all-time price
The Chairman’s Letter contained in the Target’s Statement included the statement that “ the Offer represents the highest all-time price for a Bullseye Share ”. That statement was made on the basis that:
-
based on the closing price on ASX for Emerald shares of $1.06, on Friday 24 December 2021 (being the last trading day immediately prior to the date of the Target’s Statement), the Offer valued Bullseye at approximately $131 million, equating to a value of approximately $0.31 per Bullseye Share; and
-
the highest ever price at which Bullseye Shares have been issued is $0.30 (most recently in 2019) and the highest ever price at which Bullseye Shares have been traded is $0.31 (most recently in May 2021).
Bullseye retracts the previous statement on the basis that, as at the date of the Target’s Statement, the Offer did not represent the highest-ever price for a Bullseye Share, nor did that statement take into account any premium for control which would ordinarily be attributed to and form part of the value of the consideration offered by a bidder under a takeover offer.
1 Pursuant to their services agreements with Bullseye, two of the Directors (Dariena Mullan and Peter G Burns) are entitled to receive termination payments equivalent to 12 months’ salary should they cease employment or engagement with Bullseye following a change in control of the company. Those Directors note that the relevant payments are only payable in a termination scenario and do not affect their ability to recommend the Offer
3
Offer represents a substantial premium
The Chairman’s Letter contained in the Target’s Statement also included the statement that “ the Offer provides a substantial premium for your Bullseye Shares ”. During the last 12 months, the price at which Bullseye has issued shares has ranged from $0.20 to $0.27 (with the overwhelming majority of the Bullseye Shares issued during that period having been issued at $0.25 or less). The weighted average price of all Bullseye Shares traded in the last two months is $0.286 per share. Accordingly, given that the Offer consideration equated to an implied value of $0.30 per Bullseye Share as at 13 December 2021 (being the date on which the Offer opened) and an implied value of approximately $0.31 per Bullseye Share as at 24 December 2021 (being the last trading date for Emerald shares on ASX prior to the date of the Target’s Statement), it was – and remains – the view of the Board that the Offer represents a substantial premium. Bullseye Shareholders should however note the statements made above in this Chairman’s Letter that that the price of Emerald Shares, which constitute the consideration offered by Emerald under the Offer, is liable to fluctuate, up or down, in value due to those shares being tradeable on the liquid market of the ASX.
Acceptance and other matters
If you wish to accept the Offer, you should follow the instructions in the Bidder’s Statement and on the Acceptance Form. The Offer is scheduled to close at 5pm ( AWST ) on 4 March 2022 , unless further extended.
The Directors recommend that you read this Supplementary Target’s Statement in its entirety and in conjunction with the Bidder’s Statement you have received from Emerald, the Target’s Statement and Emerald’s Supplementary Bidder’s Statement.
If you have any questions in relation to the Offer, I encourage you to seek independent advice from your investment, financial, tax or other professional adviser, or contact the Company Secretary via email at [email protected].
Once again, I take this opportunity to thank you for your continuing support of Bullseye.
Yours faithfully,

-
(b) Emerald must offer withdrawal rights to accepting Bullseye Shareholders. For the avoidance of doubt, the withdrawal rights do not apply to shares sold by Bullseye Shareholders to Emerald during the period in which Emerald was acquiring its pre-bid stake (i.e. prior to 7 December 2021).

-
(e) Emerald must not purport to rely on item 9 of section 611 of the Act by taking into account voting power in shares that are withdrawn under Order (b) or cancelled under Order (d).
-

-
(g) Emerald must extend its Bid until no earlier than 5:00pm (AEDT) on the day after the end of the period that a shareholder can withdraw acceptance under Order (b). For the avoidance of doubt, this order does not prevent Emerald further extending its bid in accordance with the Act.

5. OFFER IS NOW UNCONDITIONAL AND EMERALD HAS A RELEVANT INTEREST EXCEEDING 50%
On 6 January 2022, Emerald declared the Offer free from all of the conditions set out in section 10.8 of the Bidder’s Statement. Accordingly, the Offer is now unconditional.
As at the date of this Supplementary Target’s Statement, Emerald has advised that it holds a relevant interest in 55.87% of the total number of Bullseye Shares on issue.
6. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURE REGARDING MATTERS CONTAINED IN THE TARGET’S STATEMENT
6.1 Reasons underpinning Board recommendations
The Target’s Statement contained a unanimous recommendation by the Board in relation to the Offer. Since the commencement of discussions between Emerald and Bullseye in late 2020 regarding the possibility of a corporate transaction occurring between them, the Board had consideration on an ongoing basis to a range of matters, which it considered were (or might reasonably be expected to be) relevant to the valuation of Bullseye and its projects. As part of that process, the Board undertook peer group valuation analysis by reference to the enterprise and project valuations of a selected group of ASX-listed gold exploration and development companies which the Board considered were reasonably comparable to Bullseye.
The results of those peer comparisons highlighted the value of the Offer and supported the Board’s view that the consideration offered by Emerald for the Bullseye Shares under the Offer was compelling. Importantly, those peer comparisons did not take into account specific risks associated with Bullseye, including as a result of the current District and Supreme Court litigation commenced against it, a hostile substantial shareholder and a total of 90 matters to be heard in the Warden’s Court. In the view of the Board, the existence of those relevant factors would be reasonably expected not only to have an adverse effect on Bullseye’s ability to raise funds (which has been borne out by the company’s actual experience since 2018), but also on its overall enterprise valuation.
The Board undertook peer group valuation exercises on several occasions, both prior to and subsequent to the making of the Offer (including by reference to the date of Emerald’s nonbinding indicative offer in May 2021, the execution of the Bid Implementation Agreement in November 2021 and the preparation of the Target’s Statement in December 2021). The results of those exercises are summarised in the following table:

In reaching its decision to recommend the Offer to Bullseye Shareholders, the Board gave detailed consideration to the merits of a transaction with Emerald, not only on the basis of the above information, but also:
-
having regard to their knowledge and experience of Bullseye’s circumstances;
-
in light of the large amount of information regarding Emerald and its operations available in the public domain;
-
the fact that no alternative transactional proposals had been received from any third parties;
-
having given detailed consideration to potential alternative development pathways for Bullseye should a transaction with Emerald not proceed, including:
-
a potential ASX listing of the company; and
-
its ability in the absence of such a transaction to continue to develop and advance its assets in the ordinary course.
6.2 Section 1.2(f) - Opportunity to become a shareholder in Emerald
Section 1.2(f) of the Target’s Statement included amongst the Directors’ reasons for recommending the Offer the statement that Bullseye Shareholders who accept the Offer and decide to retain the Emerald Shares issued to them as a result will become shareholders in “ a financially strong gold producer ”. By way of further clarity and detail in relation to that statement, Bullseye considers that, post-takeover, the Combined Group will be “financially strong” by virtue of a range of factors including the following:
- Emerald currently has a market capitalisation of in excess of A$564 million (which would be logically expected to increase following its acquisition of Bullseye and the resultant issue of additional new Emerald Shares as consideration under the Offer);
13
-
Emerald’s Okvau Gold mine has been successfully brought into production in line with DFS forecasts and is generating strong positive cash flows, with Emerald having reported total gold sales and funds received of $58.7M to the end of the calendar quarter ended 31 December 2021;
-
the Bidder’s Statement highlights an audited position that, as at 30 June 2021, Emerald’s total balance sheet equity position was $105 million; and
-
Emerald has reported a consolidated cash position as at 31 December 2021 of approximately $17.9 million, with an additional $19.5 million of gold bullion on hand.
In addition, as noted elsewhere in this Supplementary Target’s Statement, Bullseye no longer has any outstanding borrowings as a result of the recent conversion into equity of the loans described in section 6.7 of the Target’s Statement and also the extinguishment between 30 November 2021 and the date of the Target’s Statement of all previous convertible note arrangements to which Bullseye was formerly a party (including by means of the debt to equity conversions summarised under the “Notes to Financials” heading in section 6.6 of the Target’s Statement).
6.3 Section 4 - Reasons against accepting the offer
Bullseye supplements the information set out in section 4 of the Target’s Statement by providing details of the following additional potential reasons why Bullseye Shareholders may decline to accept the Offer:
(a) Emerald Share price may fall
The price of Emerald Shares on ASX is liable to fluctuate and there is no guarantee that it will remain at current levels. If Bullseye Shareholders accept the Offer (and consequently receive Emerald Shares as consideration for their Bullseye Shares), they will be exposed to the risk that the Emerald Share price may fall and may suffer loss if that occurs.
- (b) You may consider the risks associated with accepting the Offer and becoming an Emerald Shareholder may outweigh the risks of not accepting the Offer
Details of the risks associated with accepting the Offer and being an Emerald Shareholder are contained in section 8 of the Bidder’s Statement, section 8 of the Target’s Statement and in section 6.7 of this Supplementary Target’s Statement.
6.4 Section 6.2 – Overview of activities and projects
The information in section 6.2 of the Target’s Statement is supplemented as follows:
(a) North Laverton Gold Project (NLGP)
NLGP drilling campaign
As referred to in Section 6.2(d) of the Target’s Statement, since the estimation of its maiden JORC-compliant Mineral Resource at the NLGP, Bullseye has undertaken an extensive drilling program at the NLGP involving a total of 34,946 metres of RC drilling being conducted across 242 drill holes. Significant drill intercepts from that program, together with the associated Table 1 information as required under the JORC Code, are set out in Annexure A to this Supplementary Target’s Statement. As at the date of this Supplementary Target’s Statement, the resource modelling work required to produce a JORC-compliant Mineral Resource estimate based on the results of this drilling program has not yet been undertaken, although

based on the parameters of the drilling program and the mineralisation intersected Bullseye expects that, once that work is undertaken, the overall JORC Mineral Resource estimate at the NLGP may increase.
Blue Cap Bullseye Joint Venture
As disclosed in Section 6.2(h) of the Target’s Statement, mining operations are being undertaken at the Bungarra mine via the Blue Cap Bullseye Joint Venture (“ Joint Venture ”), rather than by Bullseye itself. The incorporated Joint Venture entity (in which Bullseye holds a 70% interest) is accounted for as a separate entity.
The Joint Venture is undertaken via a two-tier structure involving a unit trust and a company. The income and profit or loss of the unit trust is not audited until the end of the financial year, where it can be determined if the unit trust has in fact made a profit or loss. With the mutual consent of the trust unitholders, profits can be distributed to the unitholders at the end of the financial year. Losses cannot be distributed by the unit trust. A Joint Venture profit would be reflected in the accounts of Bullseye upon the declaration of a dividend/profit distribution (and not before that time).
As and when a profit distribution is received by Bullseye from the Joint Venture, this will then be reflected in Bullseye’s accounts.
Bungarra
Since September 2021, the Joint Venture has completed mining and processing of two campaigns from the Bungarra mine. Campaign 1 yielded 5,656 recovered ounces of gold and Campaign 2 yielded 6,923 ounces of recovered gold. A total of 12,579 ounces of gold have been recovered from the Bungarra gold mine to date, at an average recovery through the Wiluna Gold Processing Centre of between 94-94.8%.
Resource definition, metallurgical and geotechnical drilling had already been completed at Bungarra ahead of the incorporation of the Joint Venture. Prior to commencing mining at Bungarra, the Joint Venture undertook 5,088m of grade control drilling and prepared a revised geological model (using that additional drilling) for internal working and mine planning purposes (including overlaying the various modifying factors under the JORC Code, using cost estimates and other assumptions taken directly from the mining contractor’s proposal to the Joint Venture to develop the Bungarra deposit). Whilst that relevant fieldwork was undertaken to JORC standard, the associated Table 1 disclosure was not prepared by the Joint Venture and accordingly no JORC-compliant Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve estimates were produced at that time in relation to the open pit area which was subsequently mined. It is therefore not possible for Bullseye to accurately comment on the extent to which the original JORC-compliant Mineral Resource estimate for the overall Bungarra deposit has been depleted by the mining operations undertaken at Bungarra by the Joint Venture – including for the reason that a “like for like” comparison between the initial estimate of Mineral Resources at the overall Bungarra deposit and the quantity of goldbearing ore actually mined by the Joint Venture is not possible.
The average gold price realised for Campaigns 1 and 2 undertaken at Bungarra was between A$2,432 – A$2,514 per ounce. Gold sales from Campaign 1 and Campaign 2 have generated A$30.745 million of revenue in total, with 165.4 ounces of gold bullion and 2,335 ounces of silver remaining on hand as at the date of this Supplementary Target’s Statement.
Mining and haulage of ore for Campaign 3 is ongoing to the Wiluna Gold Processing Centre, with the processing of Campaign 3 scheduled to commence in March/April 2022. Further refinement of the mine plan since the date of the Target’s Statement has seen an
15
improvement in ore tonnes and Campaign 3 is larger than originally expected and is currently anticipated to deliver approximately 137,000 (wet) ore tonnes for processing with a head grade of 3.14g/t. Using an assumed 94% recovery, Campaign 3 is now projected to produce approximately 11,000 ounces of recovered gold and to generate revenue of approximately A$27.5 million (at an assumed gold price of A$2,500/oz).
During the month of January 2022, the Bungarra project has experienced two serious bouts of inclement weather which has seen the haulage route to the Wiluna Processing Centre closed by the Shire of Wiluna on two separate occasions, resulting in over two weeks of total lost haulage time. Also, in late January 2022, a slip within the Bungarra open pit was experienced at the main ramp. Following geotechnical review and advice, the slip has been successfully remediated and is not expected to cause any further production disruption.
All In Sustaining Costs ( AISC ) for Campaign 3 have been estimated by using actual mining, haulage and processing data (including cost data) from the previous Bungarra campaigns. The current anticipated AISC across all Bungarra campaigns is in the range of A$1,740 - A$1,780 per ounce.
It is further noted, and Bullseye Shareholders should be aware, that outside factors beyond the control of the BCBJV (examples above), may potentially have an impact on the Bungarra project (including the AISC figures actually realised in relation to the project).
All surplus funds from Campaigns 1 and 2 have been utilised to fund the ongoing operations of the Bungarra mine. It is the current intention of the Joint Venture to make a profit distribution back to the trust unitholders in Q4 of FY2022. However, the quantum of any profit distribution will depend on the ongoing capital requirements of the Joint Venture (which would, for example, be affected should the BCBJV determine to commence mining operations at Neptune, which is detailed further below).
Neptune
As disclosed in Section 6.2(h) of the Target’s Statement, BCBJV and its shareholders have recently agreed to extend the scope of the Joint Venture to also include the development of Bullseye’s Neptune gold deposit, which is located approximately 4km from Bungarra. Neptune exhibits similar geological characteristics to Bungarra (save for the presence of Banded Iron Formation rocks, or BIF). As part of the planning process with a view to potentially continuing mining operations once mining at Bungarra has concluded, the Joint Venture has made a preliminary assessment of the Neptune deposit. That assessment was derived by using the relevant drill results from Bullseye’s 2017 drilling campaign (as referred to above) and other geological work undertaken by Bullseye, in order for the Joint Venture to generate an early-stage geological model. Given that the same operational structure (ie the Joint Venture) and same mining fleet and personnel are intended to be used at Neptune as at Bungarra, relevant modifying factors and mining assumptions were then applied to that model using real-time data generated from the Joint Venture’s mining operations at Bungarra. In that regard, the Joint Venture was able to apply its mining, haulage and processing costs and its mine design factors from Bungarra to the Neptune model, as the available geological data is understood to be similar at both deposits. Additionally, the preliminary assessment assumes that the same Joint Venture mining operations team would be engaged and the same processing plant, the Wiluna Gold Processing Centre, would process the ore on a similar schedule or throughput rate.
A conceptual open pit mine design has been applied to the Joint Venture’s Neptune geological model, which has predicted an estimated theoretically mineable quantity of ore. This work has been undertaken purely for the purposes of potential mine planning by the Joint Venture and Bullseye wishes to clarify that no reliance should be placed by Bullseye
16
shareholders at this time on any information regarding potential mine viability or size at Neptune, pending further work being undertaken by the Joint Venture (including technical work required to establish JORC-compliant estimates of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves at Neptune).
Over the past several weeks, Bullseye and the Joint Venture have collectively undertaken approximately 7,220 metres of additional resource definition drilling at Neptune using predominately reverse circulation (RC) drill rigs which have drilled a total of 107 holes to depths of approximately 23–112m beneath surface level. Two independent Western Australian-based laboratories have been contracted to undertake assay work in relation to the associated drill samples from this campaign and initial assay results have recently been received for 87 holes of the 107 holes in that regard. Exploration Results in relation to those assays are reported in Annexure B to this Supplementary Target’s Statement. Bullseye is currently awaiting receipt of the balance of assay results from this drilling campaign, noting that the applicable laboratories are (like several other Western Australian assay laboratories) currently experiencing processing delays due to backlogs. Once the balance of those assay results have been received and relevant associated work undertaken to enable them to be reported in compliance with the JORC Code, Bullseye intends to release an announcement which reports the relevant further Exploration Results. In the meantime, the Joint Venture has commenced an 8-hole (560m) geotechnical diamond drilling program at Neptune to generate data for potential mine design purposes, which will assist in determining whether the resource drilling and other work support a decision to commence mining operations. To the extent that the results of the recently-completed resource drilling program are positive, the Joint Venture also intends to undertake further drilling for grade control, metallurgical, waste rock characterisation, tailings disposal testwork and hydrogeological purposes, as well as resource modelling work with a view to producing JORC-compliant estimates of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves in relation to the Neptune deposit.
Competent Person sign-off
Bullseye notes that the Target’s Statement contained details of JORC-compliant Mineral Resource estimates for the Boundary, Stirling and Bungarra deposits located within the NLGP (based on which an overall Mineral Resource estimate for the NLGP was also reported). Those Mineral Resource estimates, as reported in the Target’s Statement, were unchanged from the Mineral Resource estimates which were announced for the first time by Bullseye in its target’s statement issued in response to the takeover offer made for Bullseye by Red 5 Limited on 30 April 2018. However, they were not accompanied in the Target’s Statement by the relevant statement contemplated under Appendix 3 to the JORC Code in relation to the re-statement of previously-reported Mineral Resource estimates. That relevant statement is now included in Annexure C to this Supplementary Target’s Statement, together with appropriate Competent Person’s statements for the additional Exploration Results in relation to the NLGP which are now being reported by Bullseye for the first time in this Supplementary Target’s Statement (and specifically in Annexures A and B).
(b) Section 6.2(g) - Further exploration and development work
Section 6.2(g) of the Target’s Statement stated that Bullseye’s exploration targeting at the NLGP is “ highly advanced and well-refined ”. That section then went on to provide details of the various factors (and previous work undertaken at the NLGP) which have collectively contributed to Bullseye’s level of technical understanding regarding the NLGP and have informed Bullseye’s process of identifying exploration targets at the NLGP. For clarity, the phrases “highly advanced” and “well-refined” refer to Bullseye’s knowledge position in relation to the NLGP, based on the detailed work undertaken by the company to date and summarised in section 6.2(g) of the Target’s Statement, as compared to its knowledge position had no such work been undertaken.
17
(c) Section 6.2(h) - Dingo Range Joint Venture
Bullseye provides the following additional information to supplement section 6.2(h) of the Target’s Statement regarding the research and development activities (“ R&D ”) undertaken by the Dingo Range joint venture (“ DRJV ”) and the objectives of the DRJV.
Objectives of R&D activities of the DRJV
The geological interpretation of the Dingo Range mineralisation has highlighted various ore types, some of which exhibit adverse viscosity properties which reduce their recovery in traditional gold processing circuits.
The technical objective of the DRJV is to develop enhanced processing capabilities for high clay and high viscosity ore bodies (such as those identified within the Dingo Range Greenstone Belt) through the enhancement of proprietary geological predictive techniques designed to better understand the geological mineralisation of the ore body, including:
-
investigating the validity of the existing geological interpretation technique using actual data from the Bungarra starter pit to test whether the geological modelling technique is able to accurately determine the nature and characteristics of the ore body, to enable the DRJV to determine the processing characteristics of the ore body;
-
developing an alternate processing flow chart to either treat or separate low recovery ores to improve overall gold recovery of various clay ores and high viscosity ores during leaching. This is to be achieved through one or more processing trials of the ore from the Bungarra starter pit to determine and review the process characteristics of the various ore types presented in the complex geological model, with a particular focus on the process conditions for the various clay ores and high viscosity ores; and
-
determining whether a cyanide-free leaching circuit can produce similar or better gold recoveries. The DRJV has undertaken analysis of various clay ores and high viscosity ores present in the Bungarra starter pit and has undertaken trials using a glycine-based alternative lixiviant to the traditional sodium cyanide.
Through undertaking a systematic progression of work on the above R&D activities, the DRJV is generating new knowledge and intellectual property on high viscosity, low recovery ores including knowledge on new separation techniques and processing methods through the use of an alternate lixiviant leaching reagent, which aims to improve the extraction of oxides and gold recoveries and provide an environmentally superior processing solution.
Works undertaken by the DRJV
The DRJV specifically undertakes the following works:
-
development of a processing solution for high clay and high viscosity ores identified in the oxide and transitionary material available in the Dingo Range Greenstone Belt;
-
drill and blast activities to provide an understanding of the metallurgical properties of the ores and provide direct composite material inputs into the core experiments;
-
sample collection and preparation (grade control drilling) to provide samples as direct composite material inputs into the core experiments;
18
-
background project research and ongoing investigation to provide background research to identify necessary information on historical and current data available for ore types and metallurgical testwork within the Dingo Range Greenstone Belt; and
-
coordinating development of glycine-based processing techniques, to use glycinebased lixiviant as an alternative to traditional sodium cyanide with the aim to create a cyanide-free leaching circuit which can produce similar or better gold recoveries from various clay ores and high viscosity ores and provide an environmentally superior processing solution.
6.5 Section 6.3 – Applications for forfeiture
Bullseye provides the following supplementary disclosure in relation to the applications for forfeiture, as referred to in section 6.3 of the Target’s Statement, which have been lodged against many of the NLGP tenements and the Southern Cross Gold Project ( SCGP ) tenements.
The objections to exemption applications lodged by West Australian Prospectors Pty Ltd ( WAP ) in respect of tenements in the SCGP are listed for a mention hearing on 28 March 2022.
The objections to exemption applications lodged by Zygmund Wolski ( Wolski ) against tenements in the NLGP have not been listed for substantive hearings. Bullseye expects that any substantive hearing of the Wolski objections to exemption applications will not be listed until early in the second half of 2022, at the earliest.
Bullseye expects that any substantive hearings of the Wolski forfeiture applications will not occur until early 2023, at the earliest, and in respect of the WAP forfeiture applications, until late 2022 or early 2023, at the earliest.
6.6 Section 6.6 - Bullseye financial information
(a)
Going concern note
Bullseye notes that the company’s Annual Financial Report for the Year Ended 30 June 2021 contained a going concern note from Bullseye’s auditors, BDO, which was not reproduced in section 6.6 of the Target’s Statement. That going concern note is set out in full below:
“During the year the consolidated entity (also referred to as ‘Company or Group’) incurred a net loss of $6,452,549 (2020: $2,758,889) and incurred net cash outflows from operating activities of $4,291,532 (2020: $1,921,056).
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on: deriving profits from the Blue Cap Bullseye Joint Venture which has commenced Gold production, conversion or extension of existing convertible loan arrangements and if required, raising additional funding in the next 6 - 12 months commensurate with the working capital requirements of the company, the expected exploration programs, and the development and production of project assets in the next 12 month period.
These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.
19
Management believes that there are sufficient funds available to continue to meet the Group’s working capital requirements as at the date of this report. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, the realisation of assets, settlement of liabilities through the normal course of business including the presumption that sufficient funds will be available to finance the operations of the Group for the following reasons:
-
Subsequent to 30 June 2021, Gold production has commenced at the Bungarra Gold Mine, through the Blue Cap Joint Venture, in which Bullseye has a 70% interest. As at the date of this report the Joint Venture has realised $13.76 million in revenue from Gold sales so far. The Company expects to recover all funds loaned to the Joint Venture and participate in future profits through Gold produced and sold from the Joint Venture.
-
At balance date the Company had cash and receivables of $5,949,719.
-
During the reporting period, the Company has raised in excess of $9 million by way of issue of convertible notes.
-
There is strong investor interest in the Company and strong demonstrated support of the Company and its quality portfolio of assets, particularly the flagship North Laverton Gold Project.
-
The Board has a strong and well demonstrated track record of delivering the requisite funding to meet the Company’s requirements, as and when required, as demonstrated over the Company’s history.
-
Post the balance date, the Company raised $1,177,500 by way of issue of convertible notes to various parties which have a 12 month term, interest rate of 15% per annum and a conversion price ranging from $0.23 to $0.25 per share.
-
In early July 2020, the Company agreed a further loan facility of $2 million with Desmond Mullan which was formalised on 29 October 2020. The loan has an interest rate of 10% per annum, a maturity date of 31 December 2021 and may be converted at the discretion of the lender into Bullseye shares at any time prior to the maturity date at a share price of $0.22 per share. The parties have agreed that the loan facility will be secured by a registered mortgage to be granted by the Company over its right, title and interest in one of the Company’s Mining Leases, to be determined by mutual consent between the Company and the Lender. At the date of this report, an amount of $1,237,500 has been drawn down under the facility.
-
Subsequent to year end, the Company raised $1,030,000 via share placement at a share price of $0.20 per share.
-
The Company continues to have the strong support of a number of its larger shareholders and convertible note holders who have a demonstrated track record of providing requisite funding to the Company to meet its working capital and development requirements.
-
Given the Plaints lodged against a number of the Company’s tenements, the Company has been granted pro-rata tenement expenditure relief in relation to these tenements, thus reducing the Company’s expenditure requirements on these tenements and requiring less funds for the Company to meet the expenditure commitments on its
20
overall tenement portfolio, whilst the plaints remain in place. The Directors expect that the Plaints will all be resolved and released over the next 12 - 24 months.
-
The Company has a large portfolio of valuable and desirable assets which could be joint ventured, farm-in (or similar structure), or sold to assist with the Company’s funding requirements.
-
Gold pricing is strong (in $AUD terms) and there is strong general overall investor interest in the sector. The Board is of the view that the medium to long term outlook for Gold and the Company is very positive.
Should the entity not be able to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business, and at amounts that differ from those stated in the financial statements. The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or liabilities that might be necessary should the entity not continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they become due and payable.”

In the period between 30 November 2021 and the date of the Target’s Statement, all Bullseye convertible notes on issue (including those detailed in the table above) were extinguished (with the overwhelming majority converted into Bullseye Shares in line with the terms of each applicable convertible note). Conversion of the relevant convertible notes resulted in Bullseye’s Current Liabilities decreasing by $11,285,814 and resulted in the issue of 47,268,081 Bullseye Shares, as at the date of the Target’s Statement.
As at the date of the Target’s Statement, the only convertible debt arrangements which remained in effect in relation to Bullseye were the convertible loans detailed in section 6.7 of the Target’s Statement.
Finalisation of equity raising
The “Notes to financials” heading in section 6.6 of the Target’s Statement referred to an increase in Bullseye’s cash position which was partially due to “ the finalisation of an equity raising (contributing approximately $1.6 million in cash) ”. The circumstances of that equity raising were that Bullseye and the relevant independent subscriber entered into a Share Subscription Agreement on 27 July 2021, which permitted the subscriber to subscribe for approximately $1.9 million worth of Bullseye Shares, at a subscription price of $0.20 per share, prior to a deadline of 30 November 2021. The subscriber elected to take up its overall subscription entitlement under the agreement in two tranches, the second tranche of which was notified to the company prior to 30 November 2021, with the associated subscription moneys provided and Bullseye shares issued shortly after that date.
6.7 Section 8 - Risk factors
(a) Section 8.2 - Risks associated with being an Emerald Shareholder
Bullseye provides the following information to supplement section 8.2 of the Target’s Statement, so as to further detail the risks associated with accepting the Offer and becoming an Emerald Shareholder.
25
General market risks
The value of Emerald Shares will be influenced by a number of factors that are common to most listed investments. At any point in time, these may include:
-
the Australian, Cambodian and international economic outlook;
-
movements in the general level of prices on international and local stock markets;
-
changes in economic conditions including commodity prices, inflation, recessions and interest rates; and
-
changes in Government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies.
Market, commodity price and currency risks
Emerald is exposed to fluctuations in gold prices, fluctuations in foreign currency and interest rates, in each case in relation to its future operational cash flows and its ability to service existing and planned funding of current and future projects. Gold prices are volatile and may fluctuate as a result of numerous factors, which are beyond Emerald’s control, such as:
-
speculative positions taken by investors or traders in gold;
-
changes in global demand for gold;
-
global and regional recessions or reduced economic volatility and/or inflationary expectations;
-
financial market expectations regarding the rate of inflation;
-
the strength of the US dollar (the currency in which gold trades internationally);
-
gold hedging and de-hedging by gold producers;
-
decisions made by central banks and multilateral organisations to purchase, hold or sell portions or their gold reserves; and
-
changes in production costs in major gold producing regions.
Historically, the price of gold has fluctuated widely and is currently trading significantly above long-term historical average prices. The possible adverse consequences of future price declines could include the following:
-
the Combined Group may become uneconomic because the projected future revenues no longer justify the costs of operation or development;
-
the Combined Group may be unable to raise finance to construct or complete required infrastructure on acceptable terms;
-
the Combined Group’s revenue may decline to a point at which its operations are uneconomic, as a result of which the Combined Group may cease operations;
-
the Combined Group may be required to restate its gold reserves and resources; and
26
- the Combined Group’s operations may experience delays while assessments are made of the economics of the Combined Groups’ Projects under different gold price assumptions.
Ongoing tenure and litigation disputes
A large number of Bullseye’s tenements are currently subject to applications for forfeiture, as detailed in section 6.3 of the Target’s Statement. Bullseye is also involved in litigation in the Supreme and District Courts of Western Australia, as detailed in section 9.11 of the Target’s Statement. These ongoing tenure and litigation disputes remain a risk to the Combined Group and will continue to be a risk if you become an Emerald Shareholder. Any claim or dispute, if proven, may impact adversely on Bullseye’s operations, financial performance and financial position.
(b) Section 8.4 - Risks associated with holding Bullseye Shares
Bullseye provides the following information to supplement section 8.4 of the Target’s Statement, so as to further detail the risks associated with not accepting the Offer and remaining a Bullseye Shareholder.
General market risks
Similarly to section 6.7(a) above, Bullseye is exposed to fluctuations in gold prices, fluctuations in foreign currency and interest rates, in each case in relation to its future operational cash flows and its ability to service existing and planned funding of current projects. Gold prices are volatile and may fluctuate as a result of numerous factors, which are beyond Bullseye’s control.
Company specific risks
Dilution risk
As detailed in section 6.2 of the Target’s Statement, Bullseye’s principal asset, the NLGP, is currently at an advanced exploration stage (albeit an incorporated joint venture, the BCBJV, has been formed to undertake mining of discrete ore deposits located within the project in order to generate early cashflow and further increase Bullseye’s level of technical and operational knowledge regarding orebodies located along the Dingo Range Greenstone Belt). Bullseye’s intentions in relation to the advancement of the overall NLGP involve a significant amount of further activities being undertaken (including extensive further drilling) to identify and test existing and future targets with a view to increasing the overall JORC-compliant estimate of Mineral Resources attributable to the project, as well as undertaking technical studies (such as scoping, pre-feasibility and/or feasibility studies) as appropriate in order to properly assess the economic viability of the project and (if applicable) to convert Mineral Resources to Ore Reserves. Further, should a decision be made in future to develop a gold processing plant at the NLGP, there will be substantial further costs involved in constructing and operating any such gold processing plant.
As Bullseye is a public unlisted company whose assets are largely pre-production in nature, its ability to access capital from traditional lenders and institutional investors is limited. Further, the company’s present circumstances, including the extensive litigation proceedings to which it is subject, have created and are likely to continue to create further impediments to its ability to raise capital. Historically, Bullseye has raised funds predominantly via a combination of equity raisings and convertible note/loan arrangements.
27
Given all of the above, it is highly likely that Bullseye will need in future to undertake further equity capital raisings (or enter into future convertible debt-to-equity arrangements) to enable it to secure the funds necessary to progress and advance its operations generally and the NLGP in particular. Any Bullseye Shareholders who do not participate in such raisings or other funding arrangements will be liable to be diluted. If such further capital raisings are undertaken at the price of recent Bullseye share issues, the overall future dilution risk for Bullseye Shareholders is likely to be significant.
Ongoing tenure and litigation disputes
A large number of Bullseye’s tenements are currently subject to applications for forfeiture, as detailed in section 6.3 of the Target’s Statement. Bullseye is also involved in litigation in the Supreme and District Courts of Western Australia, as detailed in section 9.11 of the Target’s Statement. These ongoing tenure and litigation disputes are risk if you remain a Bullseye Shareholder. Any claim or dispute, if proven, may impact adversely on Bullseye’s operations, financial performance and financial position.
6.8 Section 9.11 – Material litigation
Bullseye provides the following supplementary information to section 9.11 of the Target’s Statement, in relation to the ongoing material litigation described in that section.
- (a)
Matter COR 83 of 2020 – Supreme Court of Western Australia
Xinhe, a substantial shareholder in Bullseye, has brought an action in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, COR 83 of 2020, against Bullseye and its directors alleging that the affairs of Bullseye have been conducted in a manner which is oppressive to or unfairly discriminatory against Xinhe and contrary to the interests of shareholders as a whole.
Xinhe alleges that a number of matters comprise the alleged oppressive conduct, including:
-
entering into a series of transactions with related parties that are destructive of shareholder value;
-
failing to lodge financial reports or hold annual general meetings within the timeframes specified in the Act;
-
rejecting funding offers provided by Xinhe;
-
failing to preserve its assets;
-
failing to keep shareholders informed or properly informed of various matters; and
-
refusing to register some share transfers and registering others.
Xinhe seeks a number of orders to remedy the alleged oppressive conduct, including:
-
the appointment of its representative Mr Luke Huang as a director of Bullseye;
-
the removal of Peter Joseph Burns, Peter Gerard Burns and Dariena Mullan as directors of Bullseye; and
-
that a receiver and manager be appointed over Bullseye’s assets.
28
The proceedings will continue on a block of dates running from 22 February 2022 until 11 April 2022, and then a further block of dates to run from 1 August 2022 until 26 August 2022. In total, the matter has been listed for a trial length of 66 days.
This claim continues to be vigorously defended by Bullseye. The Board is of the view that, if the takeover bid by Emerald is successfully completed, then most of the relief sought by Xinhe in the oppression proceedings will become moot, save in relation to the costs of the proceeding, which will be in contest.
(b) Matter CIV 1989 of 2020 – District Court of Western Australia
Mr Sam Cheng and Mr Eddy Cheng, as trustees of the NEZA Trust ( the Plaintiffs ) have brought an action in the District Court of Western Australia, CIV 1989 of 2020, against Bullseye, seeking payment of capital raising fees from Bullseye in the amount of $366,000. The Plaintiffs allege that, pursuant to a Services Agreement entered into by the parties on or about 31 July 2012 ( the Agreement ), Bullseye agreed to pay to the Plaintiffs a 6% success fee on any capital received by Bullseye from any investor introduced by the Plaintiffs (or any associate of the Plaintiffs) to Bullseye.
Bullseye has filed a defence and counterclaim in the proceedings, denying any amount is owing to the Plaintiffs, and seeking reimbursement of fees paid by Bullseye to the Plaintiffs in the sum of $120,000, alternatively the transfer to Bullseye of 900,000 shares in Bullseye, or alternatively reimbursement of fees in the sum of $117,000.
The trial of the action commenced on 31 January 2022 and proceeded for four sitting days. On 4 February 2022, the trial was adjourned part-heard until Monday, 17 October 2022 for an anticipated further four days.
(c) Matter CIV 1987 of 2020– District Court of Western Australia
Mr Sam Cheng has brought a further action in the District Court of Western Australia, CIV 1987 of 2020, against Bullseye, alleging that Bullseye has breached a contract between Bullseye and Mr Cheng entered into around 9 October 2013, by failing or refusing to pay monthly consulting fees to Mr Cheng in the amount of $580,000 during the period from June 2018 until May 2020.
On 19 October 2020, Bullseye filed a defence denying that it is liable to Mr Cheng for any amount owing under such a contract, and a counterclaim against Mr Cheng and the following parties:
-
Wu Qiyuan;
-
Xinhe;
-
Yiyang Qiu (Luke Huang);
-
Brett Clark;
-
Doonbeg Capital Pty Ltd;
-
Kevin Dundo; and
-
Red 5 Limited.
29
Bullseye seeks unliquidated damages against the above parties for conspiring to cause harm and injury to Bullseye.
The action is in the interlocutory stages of the Court process and is awaiting judgment to be delivered by the District Court concerning applications for security for costs issued against Bullseye by six of the defendants to the counterclaim. The action cannot proceed until the security for costs judgment is delivered.
7. NEW MATTERS AND CIRCUMSTANCES ARISING SINCE THE DATE OF BULLSEYE’S TARGET’S STATEMENT
7.1 Information about Bullseye securities
Bullseye provides the following information regarding new circumstances which have arisen since the Target’s Statement was lodged.
(a)
Conversion of loans
On 30 December 2021, Bullseye received a notice from the lender party in relation to the three loans listed in section 6.7 of the Target’s Statement, pursuant to which the lender exercised its rights to convert all amounts (principal and interest) outstanding with respect to each of those loans into Bullseye Shares. As a result, the following Bullseye Shares were allotted to the lender on 7 January 2022 in full satisfaction of Bullseye’s liability to the lender regarding those loans:
| Total amount outstanding Including interest at 31 Dec 2021 |
Conversion Price | Number of Bullseye shares |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Loan Facility1 | $1,908,995.09 | $0.26 | 7,342,289 |
| Loan Facility2 | $2,146,847.89 | $0.26 | 8,257,107 |
| Loan Facility3 | $1,396,017.31 | $0.22 | 6,345,533 |
Following conversion of the loans outlined above into Bullseye Shares and the extinguishment of each of the convertible notes referred to in section 4.10 of the Bidder’s Statement, Bullseye has now extinguished all borrowings. Accordingly, the line item ‘Borrowings’ under the sub-heading ‘Current Liabilities’ in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, at 30 November 2021 (Unaudited) in the Target’s Statement has now reduced from $17,307,192 to NIL.
7.2 Information regarding Emerald
Emerald is an ASX-listed entity which is subject to both continuous and periodic disclosure regimes under the ASX Listing Rules. Additional information regarding Emerald and its operations can be obtained from the ASX website at www.asx.com.au or from Emerald’s own website at www.emeraldresources.com.au.
Bullseye shareholders should note that, since the date of the Target’s Statement, Emerald has released a number of additional announcements to the ASX (some of which provide operational updates in relation to Emerald’s portfolio of mineral resource projects, notably its Okvau and Memot Gold Projects). Bullseye shareholders should accordingly note that the information contained in Section 7 of the Target’s Statement (Information Relating to Emerald) should be read in conjunction with those additional announcements in order to
30
provide an accurate and up-to-date picture of Emerald and its operations as at the date of this Supplementary Target’s Statement.
7.3 Potential Xingao Bid
As announced by Bullseye on 7 February 2022, after business hours on 3 February 2022 Bullseye received an unsolicited communication from Au Xingao Investment Pty Ltd (ACN 603 261 052) ( Xingao ), a related entity of Xinhe, which stated that Xingao intended to make a cash takeover offer for Bullseye ( Bid Intention Announcement ). A copy of the announcement regarding the Bid Intention Announcement (which attaches a copy of the Bid Intention Announcement in full) is available at:
www.bullseyemining.com.au/site/PDF/78128352-5a54-4330-a33add1fca830c24/UnsolicitedApproachReceivedFromAuXingao.
On 8 February 2022 (after the date on which the Panel delivered its final Orders), the Bullseye Board met to consider the implications of the Bid Intention Announcement and whether or not any action was presently required to be taken by Bullseye in relation to it. In that regard, the Board noted that:
-
the Bid Intention Announcement merely gives notice of Xingao’s intention in future to make a takeover bid for Bullseye and does not itself give rise to such a bid (nor, consequently, an offer which is presently capable of acceptance by Bullseye Shareholders);
-
Xingao’s intended offer is highly conditional (and such conditions include, amongst several other matters, approval by the Foreign Investment Review Board and the satisfaction of a minimum acceptance condition pursuant to which Xingao and its associates must obtain a relevant interest in Bullseye shares, disregarding any relevant interest which Xingao has in Bullseye shares merely because of the operation of section 608(3) of the Act, in at least 40% of the Bullseye shares on issue);
-
Bullseye is unaware of the financial standing and capabilities of Xingao (and no information was provided in the Bid Intention Announcement regarding Xingao’s current or future capacity, should it make a takeover offer for Bullseye, to fund and pay to Bullseye Shareholders the cash consideration of up to approximately $156 million contemplated in the Bid Intention Announcement);
-
Emerald’s existing takeover offer for Bullseye is currently unconditional, Emerald has a relevant interest in 55.87% of all Bullseye shares on issue and approximately 75% by number of Bullseye’s Shareholders have accepted the Offer (indicating overwhelming support from Bullseye’s shareholder base for the Offer);
-
if following the parties’ compliance with the Panel’s final Orders Emerald continues to have a relevant interest in more than 50% of the Bullseye shares, it would appear that any takeover offer made by Xingao could never result in Xingao obtaining a majority interest in Bullseye;
-
Xingao is a related entity of Xinhe, an entity which has commenced (and is currently actively involved in) litigation against Bullseye and certain of its directors; and
-
whilst the Bid Intention Announcement contemplates that any offer made by Xingao would be liable to increase in value dependent on the satisfaction of conditions which include the grant by Bullseye to Xingao of due diligence access to a range of Bullseye
31
information, such increase is also conditional on the satisfaction of the minimum acceptance condition described above.
Having regard to all of the above, the Board considered that there was no requirement for the time being for it to take any substantive action in relation to or as a result of the Bid Intention Announcement, pending:
-
the Board being able to ascertain the status of the Offer once the Panel’s final Orders have been implemented in full (and, in particular, whether Emerald continues to have a relevant interest of more than 50% in Bullseye’s shares as at the end of the period during which relevant Bullseye Shareholders may exercise the withdrawal rights referred to in section 2(b) of this Supplementary Target’s Statement); and
-
the making by Xingao of a formal takeover offer for Bullseye and its associated dispatch to Bullseye Shareholders of a Bidder’s Statement containing all relevant information required under the Act.
Since the date of the Board’s meeting on 8 February 2022, Bullseye has this week received a draft copy of the Bidder’s Statement which Xingao intends to send to Bullseye Shareholders in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Act. The Board is in the process of reviewing that document, which Xingao has stated has also been lodged with ASIC for review. In the meantime, the Board’s views remain unchanged from those articulated above (although the Board will take appropriate further steps, including making further disclosure to Bullseye Shareholders as appropriate) if and when Xingao makes a formal takeover offer for Bullseye pursuant to a final Bidder’s Statement which is sent to Bullseye Shareholders.

The Offer will close at 5:00 pm (AWST) on 4 March 2022, unless further extended.

Hurleys Appendix Two - JORC Code, 2012 Edition –Table 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data for 2017 Drill Program
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | • The 2017 Bullseye RC drill holes include holes HRRD0001 – HRRD0098 and HRGW0001 (11,423m). • 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. • The 2017 Bullseye RC samples were crushed and milled to <75um and assayed using fire assay (40g) with additional AAS at Bureau Veritas, Kalgoorlie. |
| Drilling techniques | • Bullseye Mining drilled 88 RC holes at Hurleys in 2017, in an area around small scale historic gold shafts and trenches. All collars were picked up by GEMS (Glockner Engineering and Mining Services, licensed Australian surveyors). • Hole diameter at the collar was 143mm, but may have been decreased to 139mm depending on drill bits used. • Hole lengths were variable, averaging on 130m down hole depth with the deepest hole, HRRD0012, ending at 222m down hole depth. |
| Drill sample recovery | • RC drill sample recovery averaged better than 99%. |
| Logging | • All holes drilled by Bullseye Mining Limited have been geologically logged. Logging recorded lithology, mineralogy, alteration, weathering, texture, sulphide content, veining and macro structure. • The geological legend has evolved from historic observations and recent logging determinations and is consistent with the regional and local geology. |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
• All Bullseye Mining Limited RC samples were put through a fixed cone splitter at 1m intervals with the sample reduced to between a 2kg to 4kg sample. • Bullseye Mining’s 2017 drill program at Hurleys used a single laboratory, Bureau Veritas, in Kalgoorlie, for RC samples: oBureau Veritas – samples dried at 85° Celsius, crushed and milled to 90% passing -75µm. Assay was 40g fire assay with AAS finish for gold. |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
• All 2017 Bullseye Mining Limited RC samples were subject to insertion of certified standards (CRMs) at a rate of one standard every 20 samples. Field duplicates were collected at the rig, directly from the cyclone at a rate of one in every 50 samples (2%) for the entire program. Coarse blank material was also inserted at a rate of one in every 50 samples (2%) for the entire program. • The 2017 Bureau Veritas laboratory internal QAQC per fire assay batch of 50 samples included 46 client samples, 1 standard, 2 replicates (taken from original pulp) and 1 blank. • Bureau Veritas Kalgoorlie, which assayed 90 sample batches for Hurleys, returned satisfactory results for the QAQC: oThis lab has partial robotic sampling reducing potential contamination, and Bullseye carried out a lab inspection during the drilling period. ▪ 619 original samples were re-assayed from the pulp material as a repeat value (field duplicates and lab duplicates) to check the variability between the original assay value and a repeat fire of the original sample material. Out of 619 repeats, 29 were considered to be ‘bad repeats’. A bad repeat is deemed different from the original by greater than 10%. Approximately 5% of all repeats were more than 10% different from the original. Of the 29 ‘bad repeats’, 27 had a repeat value of <0.6g/t Au. As these grades fall below the mineralisation cut off of 0.6g/t Au for Hurleys, no further action needed to be taken. Two repeat samples were above the economic cut- off grade with repeats greater than 10% from the original. These samples have been assessed in 3D space and found to have sufficient nearby drilling of similar assay population to help mitigate the QAQC failure of these 2 samples. ▪ Bullseye CRM standard G306-3 was used 102 times within the Hurleys sample batches. 18 bad results were received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of approximately 82.5%. The effect of the 18 poor quality results in association with zones of mineralisation have been considered and is seen to be moderately influential on HRRD0051. However, Bullseye has tight drill spacing, better than 15m x 15m in the vicinity of these holes and thus the risk to the quality of the future estimation is mitigated by having similar mineralisation results nearby. ▪ Bullseye CRM standard G912-1 was used 101 times within the Hurleys sample batches. 7 bad results were received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of approximately 93%, a satisfactory result. ▪ Bullseye CRM standard G912-6 was used 116 times within the Hurleys sample batches. 6 bad results were received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of 95%, a satisfactory result. ▪ Bullseye CRM standard G912-8 was used 85 times within the Hurleys sample batches. 4 bad results were received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of 95%, a satisfactory result. ▪ Bullseye CRM standard G914-1 was used 96 times within the Hurleys sample batches. 3 bad results were received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of 97%, an excellent result. ▪ Bullseye CRM standard G915-7 was used 112 times within the Hurleys sample batches. 3 bad results were received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of approximately 97%, an excellent result. ▪ A total of 550 blanks were inserted by Bullseye and BV (one every 50 samples) throughout the sample batches. The calculated mean for the Bureau Veritas blanks was 0.0055ppm Au. The calculated mean for the Bullseye blanks was 0.0063ppm Au. 0 bad results were returned, representing a pass rate of 100%, an excellent result. |

| Verification of sampling and assaying |
• Data verification and validation procedures undertaken by Bullseye included checks on collar position against design and site survey collar pick-ups by GEMS. 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 | • 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 by Bullseye Mining have been picked up by GEMS 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. • Of the 88 2017 Bullseye RC holes at Hurleys, 87 were downhole surveyed using a gyroscopic survey tool (a Gyrosmart). The single vertical hole was not down-hole surveyed. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
• Drilling was most concentrated along a 270m strike length between Eastings 348050mE and 348320mE, and within 100m below surface. This represents the main Hurleys location, coincident with historic shallow workings, where drilling is better than 50m x 50m. The remainder of the deposit remains open in all directions and at depth. • The Hurleys drill program adopted a standard sample length of 1.0m. No composite samples were taken by Bullseye at Hurleys. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
• The majority of drilling is approximately normal to the mineralisation and at a reasonably high angle (>45°) providing solid definition. |
| Sample security | • All 2017 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 3 calicos in one large green plastic bag. These green bags were loaded by Bullseye field staff into 1 tonne bulka bags for collection by Bureau Veritas, who brought a truck to site and collected the samples from the dispatch area and brought them to Kalgoorlie. |
| Audits or reviews | • Bullseye have audited and reviewed the historical Hurleys database (including cataloguing, validating and verifying all hardcopy and softcopy historical data from Ausmet/Deep Yellow, Eagle Mining and Julia Mines NL). |
Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
• The Hurleys Gold Project is 100% held by Bullseye Mining Limited. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Historical drilling was conducted between 1989 – 2005 by companies Julia Mines NL, Eagle Mining NL, Deep Yellow NL and Korab Resources Ltd. |
| Geology | • Geology comprises a basalt country rock, sulphidic black shale, a highly mafic unit, likely a peridotite and gabbro. 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. Saprock is sharply encountered at approximately 45m down-hole depth with weathering predominately along fracture lines. Fresh rock is encountered at approximately 70m down- hole depth. |
| Drill hole Information | Details of significant drilling results are shown in Appendix One. |
| Data aggregation methods |
Drill intercepts are identified at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off grade, with a continuous internal dilution of 4m (in any single zone of waste). No high grade top cuts have been applied. No rounding has been applied to the significant intercept. |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept 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 diagrams are included in the body of this release. |
| Balanced reporting | Significant drilling results above 1 gram metre are reported in Appendix One. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Surface geological mapping and detailed structural interpretation have helped inform the geological model at Hurleys. Initial metallurgical, geotechnical and hydrogeological drilling has been carried out. |

Boundary Appendix Two - JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data for 2017 Drill Program
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | • The 2017 Bullseye RC drill holes include holes BDRD0032 – BDRD0139 and BDGW0005 – BDGW0014 (18,909m). • The 2015 Bullseye RC drill holes include holes BDRD0001 – BDRD00031 and BDGW0001 – BDGW0004 (5,802m). • The 2015 Bullseye diamond drill holes include holes BDGT0001, BDGT0002 & BDMT0001 (696.2m). • 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. • The 2015 & 2017 Bullseye RC samples were crushed and milled to <75um and assayed using fire assay (40g) with additional AAS at Bureau Veritas, Kalgoorlie. |
| Drilling techniques | • Drilling used for interpretation and estimation comprises historical priority one holes: 151 Reverse Circulation holes, 42 RAB holes, 7 Air Core and 21 diamond holes. • The bulk of historical RC holes (116 of 151 holes) were drilled by Julia Mines NL between 1994 – 2001. All 116 holes have been fully validated by Bullseye who were able to source the original hardcopy and digital dataset and locate the historic collars on site. GEMS (Glockner Engineering and Mining Services, licensed Australian surveyors) picked up the historic collars in 2014/2015. • Bullseye Mining drilled 35 RC holes at Boundary in 2015 and 118 holes at Boundary in 2017. All collars were picked up by GEMS. |
| Drill sample recovery | • RC drill sample recovery averaged better than 99%. • Recovery of diamond samples averaged better than 98%. • Recovery of historical samples averaged better than 95%. |
| Logging | • All holes drilled by Bullseye Mining Limited have been geologically logged. Logging recorded lithology, mineralogy, alteration, weathering, texture, sulphide content, veining and macro structure. • The geological legend has evolved from historic observations and recent logging determinations and is consistent with the regional and local geology. |

| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
• All Bullseye Mining Limited RC samples were put through a fixed cone splitter at 1m intervals with the sample reduced to between a 2kg to 4kg sample. • Bullseye Mining’s 2015 & 2017 drill programs at Boundary used a single laboratory, Bureau Veritas, in Kalgoorlie, for RC and diamond samples: oBureau Veritas – samples dried at 85° Celsius, crushed and milled to 90% passing -75µm. Assay was 40g fire assay with AAS finish for gold. • Historic diamond hole, DD005, 21 samples were sent to ALS Metallurgy, where they were tested using Fire Assay with an ICP-MS finish. • Samples from 5 diamond holes (within the range BDDD071 – BDDD089) and 16 RC holes (within the range BDRC029 – BDRC066) were sent to Amdel Kalgoorlie by Julia Mines NL in 2000. oDiamond holes were assayed by FA1, ARM1, and AA7. oRC holes were composite assayed by Aqua Regia, but 1m samples were tested using Fire Assay. • Diamond holes WDDH1 – WDDH14 (excluding WDDH9) were assayed at Analabs between 1994 – 1995. • RC holes BDRC0001 – BDRC00050 were assayed by Australian Laboratory Services, Kalgoorlie using Aqua Regia Digest. Assay results of 100gm or greater were fire assayed using 50g charge and AAS finish. • RC holes BRC1001 – BRC1005 were assayed at SGS Kalgoorlie using F650 (50g) Fire Assay. |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
• All 2017 Bullseye Mining Limited RC samples were subject to insertion of certified standards (CRMs) at a rate of one standard every 20 samples. Field duplicates were collected at the rig, directly from the cyclone at a rate of one in every 50 samples (2%) for the entire program. Coarse blank material was also inserted at a rate of one in every 50 samples (2%) for the entire program. • The 2017 Bureau Veritas laboratory internal QAQC per fire assay batch of 50 samples included 46 client samples, 1 standard, 2 replicates (taken from original pulp) and 1 blank. • Bureau Veritas Kalgoorlie, which assayed all 2015 & 2017 Bullseye RC and diamond samples, returned satisfactory results for the QAQC: oThis lab has partial robotic sampling reducing potential contamination, and Bullseye carried out a lab inspection during the drilling period. oIn 2015, 253 original samples were re-assayed as a repeat value to check the variability between the original assay value and a repeat fire of the original sample material. Repeats had an error rate of 9% outside 10% of the primary result. oIn 2017, 842 original samples were re-assayed as a repeat value to check the variability between the original assay value and a repeat fire of the original sample material. Repeats had an error rate of 9% outside 10% of the primary result. oIn 2015, A total of 654 CRM (Certified Reference Materials) standards were inserted by Bullseye throughout the Boundary drill program. The standards were matrix matched and 1 standard inserted every 14 samples. ▪ 8 of the Bullseye CRM standards used returned results of between 0% and 18.75% outside 2 standard deviations, a satisfactory result. ▪ 4 of the Bullseye CRM standards used returned results of between 26% and 42% outside 2 standard deviations. The location of where these standards were inserted along the drill holes was checked and in all cases found to be predominately within waste and on occasion within sporadic low grade mineralisation. ▪ 1 of the Bullseye CRM standards used returned a result of 84% outside 2 standard deviations. The location of where this standard was inserted along the drill holes was checked and in all cases found to be within waste, thus mitigating the poor repeatability of this standard. Bullseye will remove this standard from future sampling programs as this standard has such a poor repeatability rate in comparison to the 12 other standards assayed by Bureau Veritas which performed 50% or better in their repeatability. |

oA total of 137 blanks were inserted randomly throughout the sample batches. The mean assayed value from all 137 blanks was 0.0052g/t. oIn 2017, A total of 1,174 CRM (Certified Reference Materials) standards were inserted by Bullseye throughout the Boundary drill program. The standards were matrix matched and 1 standard inserted every 20 samples. ▪ 35 of the Bullseye CRM standards used returned results of between 0% and 20% outside 2 standard deviations, a satisfactory result. ▪ 4 of the Bullseye CRM standards used returned results of between 20% and 50% outside 2 standard deviations. The location of where these standards were inserted along the drill holes was checked and in all cases found to be predominately within waste and on occasion within sporadic low grade mineralisation. ▪ 11 of the Bullseye CRM standards used returned a result of greater than 50% outside 2 standard deviations. The location of where these standards were inserted along the drill holes was checked and in all cases found to be within waste, thus mitigating the poor repeatability of this standard. ▪ A total of 218 field duplicates were used by Bullseye at Boundary in 2017. Out of 218 field duplicates, 42 were considered to be ‘bad repeats’. A bad repeat is deemed different from the original by greater than 10%. Approximately 19% of all field duplicates were more than 10% different from the original. ▪ A total of 714 blanks were inserted throughout the sample batches. The mean assayed value from all 499 blanks inserted by Bullseye was 0.0087g/t. The mean assayed value from all 215 blanks inserted by BV was 0.0053g/t. Of the 714 total blanks inserted for the 2017 Boundary drill program, 1 was outside of 2 standard deviations of the expected value. • There were a total of 1225 priority one samples from the historic Boundary database that had internal lab repeat checks. Out of the 1225 samples, only 60 repeats returned with values significantly different from the original assay value (Difference >1g/t Au). This represents a 4.9% fail rate on original vs. repeats for the historic Boundary priority one dataset. Notably all repeats within the 4.9% had original samples with high gold grades. The poor repeatability of the 4.9% is likely associated with the nuggety nature of mineralised gold. |
|
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
• Bullseye have conducted a comparison of historic priority one Boundary holes against the recent Bullseye RC drill program results (at Northings approximately 20m apart along strike at Boundary). The comparison has showed solid correlation between the historic priority one holes and the recent drilling for both geology and grade. • Data verification and validation procedures undertaken by Bullseye included checks on collar position against design and site survey collar pick-ups by GEMS. 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 | • 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 by Bullseye Mining have been picked up by GEMS using a Trimble GNSS DGPS. Where identified, historical drill holes have also been picked using the 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. • Of the 38 2015 Bullseye RC and diamond holes at Boundary, 33 were downhole surveyed using a gyroscopic survey tool (13 with an IsGyro and 20 with a Gyrosmart). The vertical holes were not surveyed. • Of the 118 2017 Bullseye RC drillholes, 110 were Gyro surveyed. BDGW0005 – BDGW0008, BDGW0011 and BDGW0012 were not surveyed as they were vertical holes. BDGW0009 and BDGW0010 could not be surveyed down hole due to hole collapse, so a collar shot was performed using the gyro instrument and this was then extrapolated down hole. BDRD0034 and BDRD0064 were not surveyed due to issues with clearing clay drill cuttings. • Historical priority one holes were not down hole surveyed. |

| Data spacing and distribution |
• In 2015, drilling was most concentrated along a 300m strike length between Northings 6972000mN and 6971700mN, and within 170m below surface. This represents the present main resource location at Boundary, where drilling is better than 20m x 20m. For the remainder of the deposit (further along strike and at depth) the drilling is considerably wider spaced and more isolated. • In 2017, drilling focused on further delineating the gold deposit at Boundary using infill drilling and drilling further south to a Northing of 6971300mN as well as expansion across strike to both the east and the west. The deposit was also drilled to a further depth with the deepest hole, BDRD0051, ending at 320m down hole depth. • The 2015 and 2017 drill programs adopted a standard sample length of 1.0m. No composite samples were taken by Bullseye at Boundary. • All historic RC holes were composited, with 17 historic RC holes composited with some sample intervals of up to 8m. Historic compositing was carried out mainly in waste and re- sampling at 1m intervals was carried out for some holes. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
• The majority of drilling is approximately normal to the mineralisation and at a reasonably high angle (>45°) providing solid definition. |
| Sample security | • All 2015 and 2017 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 3 calicos in one large green plastic bag. These green bags were loaded by Bullseye field staff into 1 tonne bulka bags for collection by Bureau Veritas, who brought a truck to site and collected the samples from the dispatch area and brought them to Kalgoorlie. |
| Audits or reviews | • Bullseye have audited and reviewed the historical Boundary database (including cataloguing, validating and verifying all hardcopy and softcopy historical data from Ausmet/Deep Yellow, Eagle Mining and Julia Mines NL). |
Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results for 2017 Drill Program
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
• The Boundary Gold Project is 100% held by Bullseye Mining Limited. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Historical drilling was conducted between 1989 – 2005 by companies Julia Mines NL, Eagle Mining NL, Deep Yellow NL and Korab Resources Ltd. |
| Geology | • Geology comprises a surrounding basalt country rock and BIF. The Boundary deposit is associated with quartz veining in weathered saprolite and saprock predominately overlying a steeply plunging granodiorite. Gold Mineralisation is within the quartz veins but extends well into the fresh granodiorite to a depth of some 160m below surface. Additional gold mineralisation is seen in the surrounding basalt proximal to the contacts with the granodiorite. . • The weathering profile has a partially oxidized ‘saprock’ unit overlying fresh rock at about 50m depth in the north deepening to about 70m in the south, forming a weathered basin overlying the granodiorite. Within the basin, a saprolite unit occurs in association with a more extensive clay/sand (palaeochannel) infill zone and an extensive laterite overlies all units. |
| Drill hole Information | Details of significant drilling results are shown in Appendix One. |
| Data aggregation methods |
Drill intercepts are identified at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off grade, with a continuous internal dilution of 4m (in any single zone of waste). No high grade top cuts have been applied. No rounding has been applied to the significant intercept. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept 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 diagrams are included in the body of this release. |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Balanced reporting | Significant drilling results being intersections with a minimum 2 gram metre value are reported in Appendix 1. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Surface geological mapping and detailed structural interpretation have helped inform the geological model at Boundary. Metallurgical, geotechnical and hydrogeological drilling and studies have been carried out. |
| Further work | No new exploration data is announced within this report. |

Neptune Appendix Two - JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data for 2017 Drill Program
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | • The 2017 Bullseye RC drill holes include holes NPRD0001 – NPRD0039 and NPGW0001 – NPGW0003 (4,614m). • 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. • The 2017 Bullseye RC samples were crushed and milled to <75um and assayed using fire assay (40g) with additional AAS at Bureau Veritas, Kalgoorlie. |
| Drilling techniques | • Bullseye Mining drilled 36 RC holes at Neptune in 2017 for the virgin discovery. All collars were picked up by GEMS (Glockner Engineering and Mining Services, licensed Australian surveyors). • Hole diameter at the collar was 143mm, but may have been decreased to 139mm depending on drill bits used. • Hole lengths were variable, averaging on 128.2m down hole depth with the deepest holes, NPRD0008 and NPRD0009, ending at 220m down hole depth. |
| Drill sample recovery | • RC drill sample recovery averaged better than 99%. |
| Logging | • All holes drilled by Bullseye Mining Limited have been geologically logged. Logging recorded lithology, mineralogy, alteration, weathering, texture, sulphide content, veining and macro structure. • The geological legend has evolved from historic observations and recent logging determinations and is consistent with the regional and local geology. |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
• All Bullseye Mining Limited RC samples were put through a fixed cone splitter at 1m intervals with the sample reduced to between a 2kg to 4kg sample. • Bullseye Mining’s 2017 drill program at Neptune used a single laboratory, Bureau Veritas, in Kalgoorlie, for RC samples: oBureau Veritas – samples dried at 85° Celsius, crushed and milled to 90% passing -75µm. Assay was 40g fire assay with AAS finish for gold. |

• All 2017 Bullseye Mining Limited RC samples were subject to insertion of certified standards (CRMs) at a rate of one standard every 20 samples. Field duplicates were collected at the rig, directly from the cyclone at a rate of one in every 50 samples (2%) for the entire program. Coarse blank material was also inserted at a rate of one in every 50 samples (2%) for the entire program. • The 2017 Bureau Veritas laboratory internal QAQC per fire assay batch of 50 samples included 46 client samples, 1 standard, 2 replicates (taken from original pulp) and 1 blank. • Bureau Veritas Kalgoorlie, which assayed 36 sample batches for Neptune, returned satisfactory results for the QAQC: oThis lab has partial robotic sampling reducing potential contamination, and Bullseye carried out a lab inspection during the drilling period. ▪ 242 original samples were re-assayed from the pulp material as a repeat value (field duplicates and lab duplicates) to check the variability between the original assay value and a repeat fire of the original sample material. Out of 242 repeats, 27 were considered to be ‘bad repeats’. A bad repeat is deemed different from the original by greater than 10%. Approximately 11% of all repeats were more than 10% different from the original. Of the 27 ‘bad repeats’, 24 had a repeat value of <0.6g/t Au. As these grades fall below the mineralisation cut off of 0.6g/t Au for Neptune, no further action needed to be taken. Three repeat samples were above the economic cut- off grade with repeats greater than 10% from the original. These samples have been assessed in 3D space and found to have sufficient nearby drilling of similar assay population to help mitigate the QAQC failure of these 3 samples. ▪ Bullseye CRM standard G306-3 was used 43 times within the Neptune sample batches. 2 bad results were received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of approximately 95%, a satisfactory result. ▪ Bullseye CRM standard G912-1 was used 52 times within the Neptune sample batches. 0 bad results were received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of 100%, an excellent result. ▪ Bullseye CRM standard G912-6 was used 42 times within the Neptune sample batches. 1 bad result was received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of 98%, an excellent result. ▪ Bullseye CRM standard G912-8 was used 33 times within the Neptune sample batches. 2 bad results were received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of 94%, a satisfactory result. ▪ Bullseye CRM standard G914-1 was used 43 times within the Neptune sample batches. 2 bad results were received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of 95%, a satisfactory result. ▪ Bullseye CRM standard G915-7 was used 47 times within the Neptune sample batches. 0 bad results were received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of 100%, an excellent result. ▪ A total of 225 blanks were inserted by Bullseye and BV (one every 50 samples) throughout the sample batches. The mean assayed value from all 225 blanks was 0.0056g/t. 0 bad results were returned, representing a pass rate of 100%, an excellent result. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
• Data verification and validation procedures undertaken by Bullseye included checks on collar position against design and site survey collar pick-ups by GEMS. 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. |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Location of data points | • 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 by Bullseye Mining have been picked up by GEMS 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. • Of the 36 2017 Bullseye RC holes at Neptune, 33 were downhole surveyed using a gyroscopic survey tool (a Gyrosmart). The 3 vertical holes were not down-hole surveyed. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
• Drilling was most concentrated along a 150m strike length between Eastings 345540mE and 345390mE, and within 100m below surface. This represents the present main Neptune East location, where drilling is better than 50m x 50m. The remainder of the deposit remains open in all directions and at depth. Wider spaced drilling by Bullseye at Neptune over a 500m strike extent between 345200mE and 345765mE indicates that Neptune East conjoins to Neptune West and the main Boundary mineralisation, delivering a 1.5km strike of continuous gold mineralisation between Boundary and Neptune East. • The Neptune drill program adopted a standard sample length of 1.0m. No composite samples were taken by Bullseye at Neptune. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
• The Neptune East deposit plunges to the North at approximately 45 degrees. The majority of drilling is approximately normal to the mineralisation and at a reasonably high angle (>45°) providingsolid definition. |
| Sample security | • All 2017 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 3 calicos in one large green plastic bag. These green bags were loaded by Bullseye field staff into 1 tonne bulka bags for collection by Bureau Veritas, who brought a truck to site and collected the samples from the dispatch area and brought them to Kalgoorlie. |
| Audits or reviews | • 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 Mining and Julia Mines NL). |
Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
• The Neptune Gold Project is 100% held by Bullseye Mining Limited. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Historical drilling was conducted between 1989 – 2005 by companies Julia Mines NL, Eagle Mining NL, Deep Yellow NL and Korab Resources Ltd. |
| Geology | • Geology comprises a basalt country rock and BIF. The Neptune deposit is associated with an approximately 45degree 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 | Details of significant drilling results are shown in Appendix One. |
| Data aggregation methods |
Drill intercepts are identified at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off grade, with a continuous internal dilution of 4m (in any single zone of waste). No high grade top cuts have been applied. No rounding has been applied to the significant intercept. |
58
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept 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 diagrams are included in the body of this release. |
| Balanced reporting | Significant drilling results being intersections greater than 1 gram metre value are reported in Appendix One. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Surface geological mapping and detailed structural interpretation have helped inform the geological model at Neptune. Initial hydrogeological drilling has been completed. |
| Further work | No new exploration data is announced within this report. |

Neptune Appendix Two - JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data for 2021 Drill Program, Results to Date
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | • The 2021 Bullseye RC drill holes include holes NPRD0040 – NPRD0064 (2,140m) & NPMD1000 – NPMD1083 (5,080m). • 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 Mining’s 2021 drill program at Neptune used 2 Laboratories: Bureau Veritas, Kalgoorlie, & Jinning Laboratories, Kalgoorlie for RC samples: oBureau Veritas – samples crushed and milled to <75µm and assayed using fire assay (40g) with additional AAS. oJinning – samples crushed and milled to <75µm and assayed using fire assay (50g)with additional AAS. |
| Drilling techniques | • 107 holes were drilled at Neptune in 2021. All collars were picked up by a licensed on site surveyor. • Hole diameter for NPRD0040 – NPRD0064 at the collar was 130mm, but may have been decreased down hole depending on drill bits used. • Hole diameter for NPMD1000 – NPMD1083 at the collar was 140mm – 143mm, but may have been decreased down hole depending on drill bits used. • Hole lengths were variable, averaging on 67.9m down hole depth with the deepest holes, NPRD0043,NPRD0044,NPRD0063 & NPRD0064 endingat 150m down hole depth. |
| Drill sample recovery | • RC drill sample recovery averaged better than 99%. |
| Logging | • All holes drilled have been geologically logged. Logging recorded lithology, mineralogy, alteration, weathering, texture, sulphide content, veining and macro structure. • The geological legend has evolved from historic observations and recent logging determinations and is consistent with the regional and local geology. |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
• 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 2021 drilling at Neptune used 2 Laboratories: Bureau Veritas, Kalgoorlie, & Jinning Laboratories, Kalgoorlie for RC samples: oBureau Veritas – samples dried at 85° Celsius, crushed and milled to 90% passing -75µm. Assay was 40g fire assay with AAS finish for gold. oJinning – samples dried at 85° Celsius, crushed and milled to 90% passing -75µm. Assay was 50g fire assay with AAS finish for gold |

| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
• All 2021 RC samples were subject to insertion of certified standards (CRMs) at a rate of one standard every 20-30 samples. Field duplicates were collected at the rig, directly from the cyclone at a rate of one in every 50 samples (1-2%) for the entire program. Coarse blank material was also inserted at a rate of one in every 20-50 samples (1-2%) for the entire program. • The 2021 Jinning Laboratory internal QAQC per fire assay batch of 100 samples included 97 client samples and 3 repeats. 3 standards and 2 blanks (taken from original pulp) were included additionally. • Jinning Labs, Kalgoorlie, which assayed 7 large sample batches for Neptune, returned satisfactory results for the QAQC. • All 157 blanks inserted by Bullseye returned a value of≤0.01g/t Au, representing a pass rate of 100%. This is considered by Bullseye to be an excellent performance by Jinning Labs. • 139 field duplicates (taken from the splitter at the cyclone on the RC drill rig) were assayed to test variability between the original assay value and a repeat fire of the original sample material. A bad repeat is deemed different from the original by greater than 20%. Out of 139 repeats, 11 were considered to be ‘bad repeats’. This represents a pass rate of 92%, a satisfactory result. • Approximately 8% of all repeats were more than 20% different from the original. Of the 11 ‘bad repeats’, 9 had a repeat value of <0.6g/t Au. As these grades fall below the mineralisation cut off of 0.6g/t Au for Neptune, no further action needed to be taken. Two repeat samples were above the economic cut-off grade with repeats greater than 20% from the original. These samples have been assessed in 3D space and found to have sufficient nearby drilling of similar assay population to help mitigate the QAQC failure of these 2 samples. • Bullseye CRM standardG913-1was used 4 times within the Neptune sample batches. 0 bad results were received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of 100%, an excellent result. • Bullseye CRM standardG914-1was used 91 times within the Neptune sample batches. 1 bad result was received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of approximately 99%, an excellent result. It is worth noting that the “bad result” was 4.1g/t Au, which is within 2 standard deviations of G305-4. Field error may have been the cause of the bad result rather than lab inaccuracy. • Bullseye CRM standardG305-4was used 37 times within the Neptune sample batches. 1 bad result was received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of approximately 97%, an excellent result. • Bullseye CRM standardG914-1was used 24 times within the Neptune sample batches. 0 bad results were received where the assayed result was greater than 2 standard deviations different from the expected value, representing a pass rate of 100%, an excellent result. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
• 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 wereplotted in 3D for validation and assessment ofglobal deviation trends. |
| Location of data points | • 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. theyhave or have not been DPGS surveyed. |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| • All Bullseye RC holes at Neptune were downhole surveyed using a gyroscopic survey tool (a REFLEX GYRO SPRINT-IQ™). |
|
| Data spacing and distribution |
• NPMD1000 – NPMD1083 drilling was most concentrated along a 150m strike length between Eastings 345540mE and 345390mE, within 100m below surface. This represents the present main Neptune East location, where drilling is better than 50m x 50m. NPRD0040 – NPRD0064 drilling was mostly concentrated along a 180m northern strike extent between Northings 6971170mN and 6971350mN, following the northerly plunge of Neptune West. The remainder of the deposit remains open in all directions and at depth. Wider spaced drilling by Bullseye at Neptune over a 500m strike extent between 345200mE and 345765mE indicates that Neptune East conjoins to Neptune West and the main Boundary mineralisation, delivering a 1.5km strike of continuous gold mineralisation between Boundary and Neptune East. • 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 |
• The Neptune East deposit plunges to the North at approximately 45 degrees. The majority of drilling is approximately normal to the mineralisation and at a reasonably high angle (>45°) providingsolid definition. |
| Sample security | • All 2021 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 Bureau Veritas/Jinning Labs by road freight. |
| Audits or reviews | • 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 Mining and Julia Mines NL). |
