Exploration Update at Pyramid Hill Gold Project
-
Results received for all gold assays from the recently completed aircore program at the Pyramid Hill Gold Project
Eddington Prospect
-
Primary gold mineralisation intersected in several holes
-
Gold-bearing alluvial quartz gravel also intersected, and although not a target for Falcon, provide encouragement of a proximal primary source for the gold
Pyramid Hill Prospect
-
Follow up drilling near the previously reported high-grade result confirmed primary gold mineralisation 100m to the northwest
-
Gold-bearing alluvial quartz gravel was also intersected at the base of the Murray Basin cover
Regional
-
Follow-up drilling at the Mead Prospect returned the northern most recorded primary gold intercept in the Bendigo Zone
-
Large scale target over 8km in strike length developing at the Loddon Vale Prospect, where Falcon has expanded its ground position
-
Follow up and regional reconnaissance gold drilling to recommence in Q4 2024, with timing dependent on the work program for the new high-grade mineral sands discovery at the Farrelly Prospect
Falcon Metals Limited ( ASX: FAL ) ( “Falcon” or “the Company” ) advises it has received final assay results for the remaining 166 aircore holes for 19,639m at the Pyramid Hill Gold Project in Victoria (see Figure 1), with the program completed on 7 June 2024. This brings the total drilling for the gold program this season to 403 aircore holes for 39,850m. The focus of the drilling since the previous gold exploration update on 9 April 2024 was follow up drilling at both the Eddington and Pyramid Hill Prospects, as well as continued reconnaissance drilling as a part of the regional screening program to generate new targets, including the newly named Mead and Loddon Vale Prospects.
Eddington Prospect
The follow-up drilling at Eddington, located 35km southwest of Bendigo, has further elevated the priority of the prospect with the intersection of several wide anomalous zones of primary gold mineralisation associated with quartz veining, showing the potential for a large gold system.
Drilling at the Eddington Prospect was following up on previous anomalous results with the drill density tightened up to around 140m x 800m spacing, as well as extending the regional 280m x 3,200m drilling in adjacent areas that had not been previously tested (see Figure 2). Several holes intersected multiple primary mineralised zones which confirms the potential for stacked structures, with the result in PHAC2117 of particular note given the next nearest hole is located 800m to the north. Although the grades are low-level at this stage, confirming mineralisation at such a broad drill spacing is considered encouraging.

Individual holes with multiple downhole intercepts included:
• PHAC2117 6m @ 0.44g/t Au from 11m; including 1m @ 1.37g/t Au from 13m 18m @ 0.21g/t Au from 28m 1m @ 0.19g/t Au from 52m 1m @ 0.38g/t Au from 88m • PHAC2111 5m @ 0.12g/t Au from 22m 9m @ 0.21g/t Au from 33m including 1m @ 1.11g/t Au from 33m 7m @ 0.13g/t Au from 55m 1m @ 0.41g/t Au from 95m
Gold bearing alluvial gravel (also known as deep leads) was also intersected at the base of the Murray Basin. Although alluvial gold is not being targeted by Falcon it is encouraging because alluvial gold often occurs proximal to large primary goldfields in central Victoria such as Bendigo and Ballarat. Drilling through these gravels can create potential downhole contamination, which is noted in the significant intercept table if it was identified during geological logging. Some of the more anomalous alluvial intercepts at Eddington include:
• PHAC2097 4m @ 0.68g/t Au from 58m; including 1m @ 1.99g/t Au from 59m • PHAC 2098 5m @ 2.12g/t Au from 55m; including 1m @ 9.12g/t Au from 59m • PHAC 2099 21m @ 0.21g/t Au from 51m; including 1m @ 1.73g/t Au from 57m • PHAC 2104 17m @ 0.33g/t Au from 50m; including 1m @ 3.83/t Au from 57m

Pyramid Hill Prospect
Infill drilling was undertaken 7km to the southwest of the town of Pyramid Hill to follow up on the previously reported intercept from PHAC1975 that returned 1m @ 24g/t Au from 123m (at EOH)[1] . Multiple zones of primary mineralisation were intersected in PHAC2124, drilled ~100m to the northwest of PHAC1975, returning 1m @ 1.81g/t Au from 134m and 1m @ 0.96g/t Au from 142m (see Figure 3), with both intervals associated with minor quartz veining. Gold bearing gravels were also intersected at the bedrock interface ~600m to the southwest of PHAC1975 where PHAC2133 returned 3m @ 6.36g/t Au from 97m, including 1m @ 12.4g/t Au from 97m.

Several attempts were made to twin PHAC1975 to test the depth extent of the high-grade result but both holes failed to reach target depth. Falcon will consider further attempts to reach target depth in the next drill season.
Of note is the absence of a broad low-level gold halo often seen at Falcon’s other Victorian gold prospects. Multi-element analysis is being expanded in holes surrounding the narrow but highergrade results to test if other pathfinder elements can be used to assist in vectoring in on any potential high-grade targets at this prospect.

Mead Prospect
Two holes were drilled at the Mead Prospect, located 9km to the west of Cohuna (see Figure 4), to tighten the drill spacing along Isaacs Road on either side of the previously announced intercept in PHAC1642 which returned 4m @ 0.11g/t Au from 90m, and 3m @ 0.12g/t Au from 102m at EOH[2] . Drill hole PHAC2183 located 140m to the west, returned 2m @ 0.86g/t Au from 84m including 1m @ 1.50g/t Au from 84m with minor quartz veining in contact metamorphosed Castlemaine Group sediments. This is the northern most primary gold mineralisation identified in the Bendigo Zone and further follow-up drilling is planned for next season.
Loddon Vale Prospect
Drilling has extended a zone of anomalism to 8km in strike length at the Loddon Vale Prospect, located 20km to the northwest of Pyramid Hill, confirming this area as a regional scale target (see Figure 4). It was initially flagged as an area of interest from the regional screening program in 2023 which returned anomalous results in several holes. Subsequent infill drilling locations were limited due to the proximity of the eastern tenement boundary of EL006669 and the presence of a nearby creek, although a line of infill drilling 800m to the south also returned anomalous results.
In 2024, the ground position in this area was consolidated with the granting of EL008303 to the southeast and the Macorna Option over part of EL006549 that is adjacent to EL006669 to the east. This allowed the regional screening of this area to recommence in May. Several zones of low-level gold anomalism associated with quartz veining were intersected in PHAC2171, 8km to the south of the previous anomalous results, including 3m @ 0.12g/t Au from 59m, 4m @ 0.16g/t Au from 67m, 1m @ 0.35g/t Au from 76m, and 1m @ 0.15g/t Au from 83m. Whilst still early stage, a large-scale regional gold trend is developing in this area that requires further follow up drilling.
Regional Screening Program
Regional drilling also occurred in covered areas with interpreted Castlemaine Group sediments to the north of the Wedderburn Granite in EL006737, south of Inglewood in EL007320 and to the east of the Whitelaw Fault in EL006901. Several low-level gold anomalies were identified but multi-element assays remain outstanding. Once these results are available a detailed interpretation will be undertaken to assess next steps for these areas.
Next Steps
The gold drilling next season will focus on infill drilling at the Eddington, Karri, Pyramid Hill, Mead and Loddon Vale Prospects, and the continuation of the systematic regional gold screening program. Drilling is set to recommence in Q4 2024, with timing dependent on the activity planned for the newly discovered high-grade Farrelly Mineral Sands Prospect. Falcon is currently awaiting results from bulk test work at Farrelly, which will be an important part of determining the scope of the program at Farrelly, as will cropping, land access and weather.
