New Zones Identified

Regional program delivering new targets

Southern Most Line Drilled

  • Anomalous results returned from southern most line drilled, 30km SW of Bendigo in wide spaced regional drilling

  • Highlights from Falcon’s first pass drilling include:

  • 3m @ 0.59g/t Au from 68m; including

  • Falcon holds the ground for 35km south of this zone which is largely unexplored due to shallow basalt cover (which modern aircore rigs can now drill through)

These new anomalous results across Pyramid Hill are a vindication of regional screening strategy

The Opportunity

Fosterville – ultra high-grade

  • Grade gradually increased with depth from 2012-2016

  • Discovery of Swan Zone in 2017 led to massive grade increase with highlights including 8.8m @ 991g/t incl. 0.95m @ 9,115g/t[1]

  • Reserve increased to 2.7Moz @ 31g/t[2] in 2018 with free milling ore and abundant visible gold

  • For several years Fosterville was the highest grade and most profitable mine in the world with cash costs <$200/oz

  • Led to land rush in Victoria and significant increase in gold exploration

  • Reminder of the potential of Victoria to host high-grade gold deposits
