Falcon Metals Limited ( ASX: FAL ) ( “Falcon” or “the Company” ) advises that it has completed 236 aircore (AC) holes for a total of 15,886m during the December quarter at the Pyramid Hill Project in Victoria, Australia (see Figure 1). The drilling program involved 159 holes for a total of 12,425m focused on gold exploration and 77 holes for a total of 3,461m focused on mineral sands and associated Rare Earths Elements (REE) exploration. Assay results relating to the gold exploration for 72 holes have been received with remaining gold and mineral sands results expected later this quarter.

Bamganie Reconnaissance AC Drilling

The gold exploration drilling completed during the December Quarter included the first ever drilling at the Bamganie Gold Prospect located 35km southeast of the 14Moz Ballarat Goldfield. Bamganie is a historical goldfield that was mined in the early 1900’s, with workings extending over 2.5km of strike length. No drilling has ever been completed at the prospect, however the extent of historical workings makes it of interest to Falcon.

Falcon completed 56 holes for 3,452m of AC drilling at Bamganie targeting an area of historical gold workings and a north-south striking gold-in-soil anomaly that had been defined by an extensive soil sampling program completed in the 1990’s by previous explorers. The Falcon drilling successfully defined a mineralised corridor of abundant quartz veining and sulphides across a strike length of over 1km that is open to the north and south (Figure 2). An additional trend to the east of the main mineralised zone was also detected in several drillholes which highlights the potential for parallel structures.

The best result from the current program was from BAAC0032, located closest to the Duke of Wellington shaft that was the most productive mine on the goldfield. This was mined from 1901-1909 and official production figures were 17,945 oz at a grade of 12.1g/t Au[1] . BAAC0032 intersected a highgrade zone prior to entering a void from historical underground mine workings at 37m as shown in Figure 3.

==> picture [336 x 39] intentionally omitted <==

In the section 250m north of BAAC0032, broad mineralised zones were intersected at the base of BAAC0001 and BAAC0007 (Figure 4) with both holes ending in mineralisation.

BAAC0001 16m @ 0.30g/t Au from 101m to end of hole; including ▪ 1m @ 1.12g/t Au from 106m, and ▪ 1m @ 1.04g/t Au from 116m to end of hole • BAAC0007 25m @ 0.29g/t Au from 98m to end of hole; including ▪ 1m @ 1.45g/t Au from 120m

Interpretation is ongoing along with planning for additional aircore drilling to better define the mineralised zones and additional testing along strike to the north and south, which remain open. Once this is completed it is likely that diamond drilling will be required to gain a better understanding on the controls of mineralisation and to test the prospect at depth.

Infill Drilling

Several targets generated from Falcon’s ongoing regional reconnaissance program were prioritised for infill drilling during the quarter:

  • EL6669 near Kerang (six holes);

  • EL6960 near Eddington, east of Maryborough (ten holes); and

  • EL6737 at the Wandoo Prospect, west of Bendigo (eight holes).

Results have been received from the one line of six holes of infill drilling completed in EL6669, near the town of Kerang. These six holes were drilled on 140m spacing E-W, 830m south of anomalous holes PHAC1390 (3m @ 0.39g/t Au from 85m) and PHAC1396 (5m @ 0.54g/t Au from 118m)[1] , extending the mineralised trend on this permit. Drillhole PHAC1826 returned 2m @ 0.46g/t Au from 105m and 3m @ 0.44g/t Au from 127m, with the trend remaining open to the north and south (see Figure 5). This area will be a focus for further infill and extensional drilling.

Results are still pending for the Eddington and Wandoo drilling which are expected in February 2024.

Regional Reconnaissance AC Drilling

Reconnaissance drilling is ongoing across the Pyramid Hill Project and is an important part of the Falcon strategy in discovering large scale gold deposits in Victoria. This also included the testing of several magnetic features identified from the detailed drone magnetics completed in 2022. The regional program in the December Quarter focused on extending the sampling south from Eddington in EL6960 and EL7656 and drilling to the north of Bendigo in areas with shallow cover. Assay results are expected by February 2024.

The current focus for AC drilling is near the towns of Cohuna, Pyramid Hill and Maryborough.

Mineral Sands Exploration

A review of the northern tenements in the Pyramid Hill Project for mineral sands prospectivity identified areas within EL6864 and EL7120 that warranted drill testing. This initial phase of drilling involved 77 holes for a total of 3,461m focused on mineral sands and associated REE. Samples are presently at the laboratory to undergo heavy mineral separation and results will be reported once available, which is expected later this quarter.

Chalice compiled historical records dating back to the
early 1980’s which indicate only sporadic
reconnaissance drilling has been completed by
various parties over the project area. All known
effective drill holes that reached the basement and
were assayed for gold have been compiled.
Homestake Mining completed initial surface sampling
which has been evaluated and used by Chalice for
some targeting purposes.
Falcon is continuing the exploration that was started
by Chalice after the gold assets of Chalice were
demerged into Falcon Metals Ltd in December 2021.
Linger and Die Pty Ltd completed an extensive soil
sampling program at Bamganie in the 1990’s using a
handheld auger targeting B horizon soils.
Mineral Sands exploration over the areas investigated
by Falcon was completed by Aberfoyle Resources
