CONTINUED EXPLORATION SUCCESS AT ERNEST HENRY

Key highlights at Ernest Henry

  • New drillholes as part of the ongoing Ernest Henry exploration program have intersected significant mineralisation widths below and within the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) mine life extension area and include:

  • 118.1m (60m etw) grading 0.79g/t gold and 1.15% copper (EH1226_EXT_D7)

  • 20.4m (17.9m etw) grading 1.69g/t gold and 2.16% copper (EH1226_EXT_D5)

  • Results confirm that strong mineralisation exists below the PFS area, indicating significant potential for mining beyond the current study. As a result, a decision has been made to extend the PFS to incorporate the larger footprint in determining the optimal location of infrastructure with this work expected to be completed in the June quarter

  • Continuity of mineralisation within the PFS extension area has been confirmed with the first two drillholes (out of eight planned holes) intersecting mineralisation outside the current interpretation

Key highlights at Cue Joint Venture

  • Evolution has met the earn-in expenditure to acquire a 75% interest in the Cue Joint Venture

Commenting on the drill results, Evolution Mining Limited’s (ASX:EVN) Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Lawrie Conway, said:

“We are excited to see continued drilling success at Ernest Henry, confirming its status as a world class asset with strong potential for future mine life extension. Further to the drill results we released in November 2022, we continue to see outstanding copper-gold grades and widths in the new drilling results, which supports the Mine Extension PFS and demonstrates significant potential for a larger mine footprint and Mineral Resource. The PFS will be continued for another few months to incorporate the full benefits of the larger mine footprint to optimise design and location of infrastructure.”

Ernest Henry, Queensland (100%)

The latest surface drillholes targeting depth extensions to interpreted mineralisation below the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) area have confirmed the mineralisation widths seen in previously reported hole EH1226_EXT_D6[1] and have also defined the top of the mineralised zone. Complementary to this, resource definition drilling within the PFS area has confirmed both up-plunge and down-plunge extensions to interpreted mineralisation (Figure 1).

Assay results from EH1226_EXT_D7 (Figure 2) have been returned, confirming significant mineralisation widths observed in EH1226_EXT_D6. Encouragingly, these intersections lie outside the current mineralisation interpretation and below the PFS area. Whilst the copper and gold grades in EH1226_EXT_D7 are not as strong as those in EH1226_EXT_D6, the width of mineralisation intersected in this drillhole increases the likelihood that mineralisation continues well below at depth. EH1226_EXT_D7 has returned 118.1m (60m etw) grading 0.79g/t gold and 1.15% copper . Assay results for EH1226_EXT_D5 were also returned in December, which intersected the top of the same mineralised zone intersected in EH1226_EXT_D6. EH1226_EXT_D5 intersected 20.4m (17.9m etw) grading 1.69 g/t gold and 2.16% copper .

The first two drillholes designed to test the up and down-plunge continuity of mineralisation have been completed with samples dispatched and awaiting assay. Geological observations from these drillholes (EH1312 and EH1314) confirm extension of mineralisation up-plunge (from EH1226_EXT_D6 and EH1226_EXT_D7) and down-plunge extensions from Ernie Junior (Figure 3). The volume of mineralisation within the PFS area will likely increase as a result of these intersections, with a further six drillholes yet to be completed.

Cue Joint Venture, WA (EVN 75%)

Evolution has satisfied the earn in requirement under the Earn-in and Exploration Joint Venture ( Cue JV ) with Musgrave Minerals Ltd (ASX:MGV) to earn a 75% interest in the Cue JV.

Diamond drilling at Cue during the quarter continued to confirm that the geology and structure of the West Island prospect is characterised by multiple, stacked narrow high-grade intercepts within a broader lower grade envelope along the 1.6km mineralised trend.

Key drilling highlights from Cue are presented below.

  • 5.50m (3.85m etw) grading 4.16g/t gold from 349.5m (22CUDD019A)

  • 11.49m (8.04m etw) grading 8.71g/t gold from 235.51m (22CUDD021)

  • Including 1.00m (0.70 etw) at 66.00g/t gold from 238m

  • 7.00m (4.90m etw) grading 5.16g/t gold from 393m (22CUDD021)

  • 5.00m (3.50m etw) grading 4.82g/t gold from 124m (22CUDD022)

  • 12.70m (8.89m etw) grading 3.60g/t Au from 329m (22CUDD022)

Four diamond holes were drilled in the southern project area following up anomalous high-grade intersections generated from previous aircore programs. Aircore drilling continued during the quarter completing first pass drill coverage over all regional targets.

Ernest Henry Operations Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data Ernest Henry Operations Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data Ernest Henry Operations Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria Explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g.
cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
downhole gamma sondes, handheld
XRF
instruments,
etc).
These
examples should not be taken as
limiting
the
broad
meaning
of
sampling.
Include reference to measures taken
to ensure sample representation and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’
work has been completed this would
be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases, more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent
sampling
problems,
or
unusual
commodities/mineralisation
types (e.g. submarine nodules).

Diamond core drill holes are the primary source of geological
and grade information for the reported Mineral Resource for the
Ernest Henry Mine. Drilling has been completed between 1980
and 2022.

The diamond core is routinely sampled to geological contacts
and to predominantly 2m intervals from ½ core over the entire
length of the drill hole, producing approximately 5kg sample per
interval. Holes drilled from the surface and underground are
designed to intersect perpendicular to orebody mineralisation
where possible

Samples undergo further preparation and analysis by ALS
laboratories (Townsville and Brisbane), involving crushing to
2mm, riffle splitting and pulverising to 85% passing 75 microns.
Of this material a 0.4g sample is prepared for analysis via aqua
regia digestion and 50g for analysis via fire assay.

Diamond core and channel samples are predominantly
sampled to geological contacts and at 2m intervals in all
other cases. Samples are sent to ALS Townsville for
crushing and pulverisation. Samples are crushed to 2mm,
split via a riffle or rotary splitter and then pulverised using
an LM5 mill to a nominal 85% passing 75 microns. A 0.4g
sub-sample of pulverised material is taken for ICP
analysis via aqua regia digestion and a 50g sub-sample is
taken for analysis via fire assay. The remaining pulverised
sample is returned to site and stored for future reference.

Samples submitted to OSLS are crushed to 90% passing
2 mm, rotary split to 3.5kg (if required) and pulverised
using an LM5 mill to 90% passing 75 microns. A 0.5g sub-
sample is taken for base metal analysis via aqua regia
digestion and determined by ICP. A 25g sub-sample is
taken for analysis via fire assay.

Sub-sampling is performed during the sample preparation
stage in line with ALS internal protocol.

Field duplicates are collected for all diamond core at a rate
of one in every 15 samples.

Comparison of field duplicates is performed routinely to
ensure a representative sample is being obtained and that
the sample size captures an adequate sample volume to
represent the grain size and inherent mineralogical

Samples are assayed at ALS Brisbane for a multi element
suite using ME-ICP41, Cu-OG46 & MEOG46 methods,
which analyses a 0.4g sample in aqua-regia digestion with
an ICP-AES finish. Gold analysis is completed at ALS
Townsville by fire assay on a 50g sample with an AA
instrument finish. OSLS samples are analysed for Au
using fire assay on a 25g sample with an AA instrument
finish. Analytical methods are deemed appropriate for this
style of mineralisation.

Historic quality control procedures include the use of six
certified standards (CRMs) as well as field duplicates
inserted at 1:25 ratio for all sample batches sent to the
ALS laboratory.

The quality assurance program includes repeat and check
assays from an independent third party laboratory as
deemed necessary.

The ALS laboratory provides their own quality control
data, which includes laboratory standards and duplicates.

EHO currently uses five CRMs, pulverised and crushed
blanks, field, crush and pulp duplicates to monitor sample
preparation and analytical processes. The rate of insertion
was 1:15 for CRMs, 1:15 for blanks within mineralised
units and 1:30 in waste zones, Field duplicates were
collected at 1:15 while crush and pulp duplicates were at
1:25 samples.

Drill holes are visually logged for copper content prior to
sampling and assay. This visual assessment is used to
verify assay data.

The strong correlation between copper and gold enables
additional quality control checks to be enacted on returned
assays.

Procedures have been developed to ensure a repeatable
process is in place for transferring, maintaining & storing
all drilling, logging and sampling data on the network

Exploration done by
other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

The EHM orebody was discovered by Western Mining
Corporation Limited in 1991. The size and potential of the
discovery became obvious with further drill definition
following soon after, leading to a Feasibility Study and
subsequently the open pit mine and mill. In 2006 a deep
drilling campaign was initiated to explore the down dip
extension of the deposit ultimately leading to the
development of the current underground mining project.

Data used in the current estimate is a compilation of
several phases of exploration completed since the early
1990s. This data has been assessed for quality as
outlined in ‘Section 1’ and deemed suitable for use as the
basis of the Mineral Resource estimate.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

The Ernest Henry Deposit is an Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG)
hosted within a sequence of moderately SSE-dipping, intensely
altered Paleoproterozoic intermediate metavolcanic and
metasedimentary rocks of the Mt Isa group. Copper occurs as
chalcopyrite within the magnetite-biotite-calcite-pyrite matrix of
a 250 m by x 300 m pipe like breccia body. The breccia pipe
dips approximately 40 degrees to the South and is bounded on
both the footwall and hanging wall by shear zones. The main
orebody starts to split from the 1575 level into a South-East
lens, and from the 1275 level into the South-West lens. Both
lenses are separated from the main orebody by waste zones,
termed
the
Inter-lens
and
South-West
Shear
Zone,
respectively. The orebody is open at depth

Visual estimates of Cu mineralisation are derived from logging
geologists’ estimates of the quantity of chalcopyrite in the core.
Chalcopyrite is the only copper bearing mineral in fresh material
at Ernest Henry. Consequently, visual estimates of Cu grades
are derived by dividing the estimated percentage of
chalcopyrite by three..

Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g.
cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to
the minerals under investigation,
such as downhole gamma sondes,
handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken
as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
Include reference to measures
taken
to
ensure
sample
representation and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools
or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’
work has been completed this would
be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain
1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases, more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent
sampling
problems,
or
unusual commodities/mineralisation
types (e.g. submarine nodules).
 Sampling of Au mineralisation at the Cue JV was undertaken
using diamond core and aircore (AC) chips (surface).
 All drill samples were logged prior to sampling. Diamond drill core
was sampled to lithological, alteration and mineralisation related
contacts. AC sampling was conducted in 2m composite intervals
downhole. Sampling was carried out according to Evolution
protocols and QAQC procedures. All drill-hole collars were
surveyed for initial drilling and picked up after drilling using a
handheld GPS.
 The sampling and assaying methods are appropriate for the
orogenic mineralised system and are representative for the
mineralisation style. The sampling and assaying suitability was
validated using Evolution’s QAQC protocol and no instruments or
tools requiring calibration were used as part of the sampling
process.
 Diamond drill-core sample intervals were based on geology to
ensure a representative sample, with lengths ranging from 0.3m
to 1.2m. Surface diamond drilling was half core sampled.
 One metre AC samples are laid out in rows of 20 on the ground
and composite 2m samples were collected by scoop sampling the
one metre piles to produce a 2-3kg composite sample which was
sent to the ALS laboratory in Wangara, Perth for preparation and
transferred to the ALS laboratory in Malaga, Perth for analysis.
Sample condition data is recorded (wet, damp or dry) in the
database. Generally, recovery is 80-100% but occasionally down
to 30% on rare occasions when ground water pressure is very
high.
 All diamond core and AC chip samples were dried, crushed and
pulverised (total preparation) to produce a 50g charge for fire
assay of Au. A suite of additional multi elements are determined
using four-acid digest with ICP/MS and/or an ICP/AES finish for
some selected intervals for pathfinder and lithostratigraphic use.
Theseintervals are selected at the geologist’s discretion.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary
air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.)
and details (e.g. core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond
tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc.).
 Diamond holes from surface were wireline PQ (85mm diameter),
HQ (63.5mm diameter) and some NQ (45.1mm diameter) holes.
 All diamond core from surface core was orientated using the
Reflex ACT III bottom of hole orientation tool.
 The diamond drilling program reported here was undertaken by
West Core Drilling Pty Ltd utilising a LF90D drill rig, and by Ausdrill
Ltd.
 The aircore drilling program was undertaken Ausdrill Ltd with a 3-
inch drill pipe and blade (76mm) or hammer (76mm) using a
custom built Lake Crawler drill rig and a KL150 track mounted
aircorerig.

results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists
between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.
 All diamond core was orientated and measured during processing
and the recovery of individual core runs recorded. The core was
reconstructed into continuous runs on a cradle for orientation
marking. Hole depths were checked against driller’s core blocks.
 Inconsistencies between the logging and the driller’s depth
measurement blocks are investigated.
 Diamond core samples are considered dry. The sample recovery
and condition is recorded every metre. Generally, recovery is 98-
100% but in weathered material occasionally down to 30% on rare
occasions when ground is very broken. AC drill samples are dry
until ground water is intersected. The sample size and condition
(wet, damp, dry) is recorded every metre. Generally, recovery is
80-100% but occasionally down to 30% on rare occasions when
ground water pressure is very high.
 The cyclone and sample buckets are routinely cleaned to reduce
thelikelihood ofcross sample contamination.

 Diamond core was drilled from surface and was half core sampled
and the remaining half was retained.
 Aircore samples were collected as 2m composites for all drill holes
in the current program using a scoop methodology.
 Sample preparation of diamond and AC samples was undertaken
by external laboratories according to the sample preparation and
assaying protocol established to maximise the representation of
orogenic style gold mineralisation. The laboratories performance
was monitored as part of Evolution’s QAQC procedure.
 Laboratory inspections are routinely undertaken to monitor the
laboratories compliance sampling and sample preparation
protocol.
 The sample and size (1.5kg to 4kg) relative to the particle size
(>90% passing 75um) of the material sampled is a commonly
utilised practice for effective sample representation for orogenic
gold deposits.
 Quality control procedures adopted to maximise sample
representation for all sub-sampling stages include the collection of
duplicates (~1 in30) and the insertion of certified reference
material (CRM) as assay standards (1 in 50) and the insertion of
blank samples at appropriate intervals for early-stage exploration
programs. High, medium and low grade gold CRM are used. Blank
material is routinely submitted for assay and is inserted into each
mineralised zone where possible. The quality control performance
was monitored as part of Evolution’s QAQC procedure.
 Individual samples weigh less than 5kg to ensure total preparation
at the laboratory pulverization stage. The sample size is deemed
appropriate for the grain size of the material being sampled.
 Diamond core samples were sent to the ALS laboratory in
Wangara, Perth for preparation and transferred to the ALS
laboratory in Malaga, Perth for analysis. Samples are pulverized
to 85% passing -75um and two metre composite samples are
analysed using a 50g fire assay with ICP-MS (inductively coupled
plasma - mass spectrometry) finish gold analysis (0.005ppm
detection limit).
 Individual one metre gold samples are analysed using a 50g fire
assay with ICP-MS finish for gold.
 The pulp and bulk residue are retained at the lab until further
notice.
 Duplicate samples are inserted in visually mineralised zones. A
comparison of the duplicate sample vs. the primary sample assay
result was undertaken as part of Evolution’s QAQC protocol. It is

for any erroneous results (a result outside of the expected
statistically derived tolerance limits) and to validate if required; the
acceptable levels of accuracy and precision for all stages of the
sampling and analytical process. Typically, batches which fail
quality control checks are re-analysed.

significant
intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification and
data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay
data
 Independent internal or external verification of significant
intercepts is not routinely completed. The quality control / quality
assurance (QAQC) process ensures the intercepts are
representative for the orogenic gold systems. Half core and
sample pulps are retained for when further verification is required.
 Data which is inconsistent with the known geology undergoes
further verification to ensure its quality using multi-element data.
 All sample and assay information is stored utilising the acQuire
database software system. Data undergoes QAQC validation prior
to being accepted and loaded into the database. Assay results are
merged when received electronically from the laboratory. The
geologist reviews the database checking for the correct merging
of results and that all data has been received and entered. Any
adjustments to this data are recorded permanently in the
database. Digital records of assay files are stored electronically.
 No adjustments or calibrations have been made to the final assay
data reported by the laboratory.
Location of data

Accuracy and quality of surveys
used to locate drillholes (collar and
downhole surveys), trenches, mine
workings and other locations used in
Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system
used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.
 All surface drill holes for this program have been surveyed for
easting, northing and reduced level using handheld GPS with
accuracy to 4m.
 After a period of time, these are also picked up using a contract
surveyor and a DGPS.
 Downhole surveys were conducted at 30 m intervals downhole
using a Reflex Ez-Gyro North Seeker.
 Recent survey data at surface is collected and stored in MGA 94
Zone 50.
 Topographic control was generated from lidar and GPS.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of
Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s)
and
classifications
applied.
Whether sample compositing has
been applied.
 Variable drill hole spacings are used to adequately test targets and
are determined from geochemical, geophysical and geological
data together with historical drilling information.
 Regional aircore drill hole traverse spacing is variable from 100m
to 400m between lines and 50m to 100m along lines. Diamond
drill holes are spaced at variable intervals based on geological
interpretation.
 The drilling in this program has been designed to collect geological
information from covered and undrilled areas. The holes are
located to test for mineralisation, geology and structures based on
interpretation of geophysics and mapping as well as below
previous anomalous drilling results.
 No mineral resources or ore reserves have been estimated based
on the exploration data and information generated on the
tenements that are subject to the Musgrave – Evolution joint
venture agreement.
 Aircore samples were collected as 2m composites for all drill holes
in the current program, unless EOH occurred on an odd number
depth,usinga scoopmethodologyfrom one metre samplepiles.

Criteria Explanation Commentary
One metre individual samples are submitted for analysis where
anomalous composite assays above 100ppb gold exist using a
scoop methodology from one metre sample piles.
 Composite sampling is undertaken using a stainless-steel scoop
(trowel) on one metre samples and combined in a calico bag for a
combined weight of approximately 2-3kg.
 No sample compositing was undertaken in diamond core
sampling.
Orientation of data
in relation to
geological structure
Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves
unbiased
sampling
of
possible structures and the extent to
which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
If the relationship between the
drilling orientation and the orientation
of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a
sampling
bias,
this
should
be
assessed and reported if material.
 Drilling is designed to cross the mineralisation as close to
perpendicular as possible. Most drill holes are designed at a dip
of approximately -55 to -60 degrees.
 The true width of drill intersections in fresh rock is not known at
this time but gold dispersion mineralisation in the Archaean
saprolite from aircore drilling is interpreted to be dominantly flat
lying.
 There is no apparent bias in any of the drilling orientations used.
 The relationship between the drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised structures intersected in this early
stage exploration is not considered to have introduced a sampling
bias and is not considered to be material.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure
sample security.
 Chain of custody is managed by internal staff. Drill samples are
stored on site and transported by a licenced reputable transport
company (Toll road haulage) to a registered laboratory in Perth
(ALS at Malaga). When at the laboratory samples are stored in a
locked yard before being processed and tracked through
preparation and analysis (Lab-Trak and Webtrieve systems).
 The laboratories are contained within a secured/fenced
compound. Access into the laboratory is restricted and
movements of personnel and the samples are tracked under
supervisionofthelaboratory staff.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews
of sampling techniques and data.
 All Diamond and AC QAQC data is monitored, and assays are
reviewed internally to ensure the robustness and integrity of
sampling and analysis methods.
 Field sampling techniques are set out in a field procedure which is
reviewed at least annually.

Cue JV Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results Cue JV Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results Cue JV Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
Criteria Explanation Commentary

All tenements are in good standing and no known impediments
exist.
Exploration done by
other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

Historical drilling, soil sampling and geophysical surveys have been
undertaken in different areas on the tenements intermittently by
multiple third parties over a period of more than 30 years. At Break
of Day and Lena historical exploration and drilling has been
undertaken by a number of companies and most recently by Silver
Lake Resources Ltd in 2010-11. Historical lake drilling from 1991-
1999 was undertaken by Perilya Mines Ltd and from 2001-2006 by
Mines and Resources Australia Pty Ltd. Prior to MGV, Silver Lake
Resources Ltd also did historical drilling at Break of Day, Lena,
Leviticus and Numbers between 2009 and 2011.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

Geology comprises typical Archaean Yilgarn greenstone belt
lithologies and granitic intrusives. Two main styles of mineralisation
are present, typical orogenic Yilgarn Archaean lode gold and
volcanic
massive sulphide
(VMS)
base
metal
and
gold
mineralisation within the Eelya Felsic Complex (northern tenure).
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information
material to the understanding of the
exploration
results
including
a
tabulation of the following information
for all Material drillholes:
o easting and northing of the drillhole
collar
o elevation or RL of the drillhole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o downhole length and interception
depth
o hole length.

All assay and collar information are tabulated in Appendix 1 of this
report.
Diamond:

Calculation for exploration results: Cut off grade of 0.5 g/t Au with a
minimum ore composite length of 2m. The maximum consecutive
waste (below 0.5 g/t) cannot exceed 2m however there is no limit to
included waste. No upper cuts are applied.

Significant intercepts are over 0.5 g/t Au average weighted grade
and over 1 gram metre (length x weighted grade).
Aircore:

Calculation for exploration results: Cut off grade of 0.5 g/t Au with a
minimum ore composite length of 2m. The maximum consecutive
waste (below 0.5 g/t) cannot exceed 2m however there is no limit to
included waste.

Significant intercepts are over 0.5 g/t Au average weighted grade
and over 1 gram metre (length x weighted grade).
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting
averaging
techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually
material and should be stated.

Where
aggregate
intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high-
grade results and longer lengths of
low-grade results, the procedure
used for such aggregation should be
stated and some typical examples of
such aggregations should be shown
in detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.

All significant new drill hole assay data of a material nature are
reported in this release. No cut-off has been applied to any
sampling. All intervals have been length weighted.

All significant new drill hole assay data are reported in this release.
No cut-off has been applied to any sampling.

No metal equivalent values are used.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly
important
in
the
reporting
of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the
downhole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (e.g. ‘downhole length, true
_width not known’) _

This drill program consists of early-stage exploration targets with
only an early stage understanding of structural orientations hosting
mineralised intervals. Estimated True Widths are supplied wherever
possible.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections
(with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported.
These should include, but not be
_limited to a plan view of drill hole. _

Drill hole location diagrams and representative sections of reported
exploration results are provided either below or in the body of this
report.
