ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
September 2022 Quarterly Report
AuTECO set for more Resource growth at Pickle Crow Project in Canada
Extensive mineralisation intersected outside the Resource, assays pending, drilling ongoing
KEY POINTS
-
AuTECO set for further growth in the 2.23Moz Inferred Resource at 7.8g/t gold after highly successful quarter in which two drilling rigs returned a host of strong results
-
Sampling of outcropping veins at the Metcalf prospect, located ~6km north-west of the Resource, returned highly significant results including assays of 569.0g/t, 35.5g/t, 27.4g/t and 9.0g/t gold
-
Excellent Resource extension drill results in the historic Shaft 1 and Shaft 3 areas of Pickle Crow demonstrate the potential to extend the Resource, with results including (refer ASX release dated 11/10/2022):
-
0.4m @ 91.0g/t gold from 149.0m (AUDD0319)
-
0.4m @ 32.2g/t gold from 30.4m (AUDD0327)

o5.0m @ 1.9g/t gold from 294.0m (AUDD0286)o8.0m @ 1.8g/t gold from 245.0m (AUDD0281) -
Magnetic data being collected over entire 500sqkm of exploration tenure, approximately 60% complete
-
During the September quarter, the Company completed 11,316 metres of drilling as part of the current 50,000-metre campaign
-
AuTECO remains well funded to continue its growth campaign, with $11M in cash at 30 September 2022
AuTECO Chief Executive Officer Darren Cooke said: “The scope to continue growing the large, high-grade Resource at Pickle Crow is immense. We have intersected substantial mineralisation outside the Resource, both nearby and at regional targets, we have a host of assays pending and drilling is ongoing.

“Pickle Crow is clearly demonstrating camp-scale potential and we believe there will be more evidence of this in both the next Resource update and the results of upcoming drilling at the highly promising drilling targets.
“The summer field work shows that the parallel structures outside of the mine area, such as the Tarp Lake Shear Zone, are conduits for gold mineralisation.
“With the Canadian winter being the optimal time to access the outlying regional prospects, plans are well underway to test a number of high-quality regional targets towards the end of the next quarter.
“With $11 million in cash at the end of September 2022, AuTECO is well funded to continue its exploration strategy.”

ABOUT THE EXPLORATION PROGRAM
A 50,000-metre drill campaign is in progress at the Pickle Crow project in Ontario, Canada and is anticipated to conclude in early 2023. The key strategic objectives of the drill program demonstrate AuTECO’s continued commitment to the dual pathways of driving near-mine Resource growth combined with early-stage exploration and discovery drilling on the 500 square kilometres of regional tenure.
The Company completed a total of 11,316 metres of diamond drilling during the quarter.
SUMMARY OF SEPTEMBER QUARTER RESULTS
Early-Stage Exploration Targeting
Drilling and results received during the September quarter continued to demonstrate the immense potential to expand the current 2.23Moz at 7.8 g/t gold Inferred Resource (see ASX release dated 15 February 2022 for Resource details). The results provide strong evidence to support the Company’s view of the potential presence of an entire mineral district, which includes the Pickle Lake deposit. AuTECO manages ~500km[2] of tenure in the Pickle Lake district.
Assay results from work completed during the 2022 September quarter can be found in the ASX release dated 11 October 2022.
During 2022 to date, first pass early-stage drilling testing has been conducted at multiple regional exploration targets located away from the current Resource. All six targets returned results with anomalous mineralisation. September quarter exploration activities focused on regional mapping, sampling, and target generation. Numerous previously-unknown vein structures have been identified while rock chip sampling of veins has yielded highly anomalous result (Figure 1).
The Metcalf target, located on the Tarp Lake Shear returned rock chip results including 569.0g/t, 27.4g/t and 9.0g/t gold. This surface vein expression confirms the presence of a significant vein system, with historical drill intersections including 1.8m @ 66.9g/t gold and 1.8m @ 28.5g/t gold (refer ASX release dated 26 March 2020).
Approximately 3km south of Metcalf on the Tarp Lake Shear, a rock chip sample of 35.5g/t gold was collected from an outcropping vein. These results confirm that the Tarp Lake Shear is a major regional gold bearing structure with strong potential for a significant discovery.
Preparations are in progress to drill test the Metcalf, Tarp Lake, and Cohen MacArthur prospects during the winter drill campaign.
Lease-wide heli-magnetic geophysical surveys commenced during the quarter; although only approximately 60% complete, preliminary imaging already shows a marked improvement in the comparison to the exisiting data set (Figure 2).

Resource Extension Drilling
Since the beginning of the year, up to three rigs have been dedicated to testing for structural extensions and new veins in the mine area, which hosts a current Inferred Resource of 2.23Moz of gold at a grade of 7.8g/t.
Near-mine drilling during the September quarter continued to focus on Resource growth potential in the historic Shaft 1 and Shaft 3 areas of Pickle Crow (Figure 3).
==> picture [475 x 412] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 3: Summary map showing AuTECO near mine drilling intersections. Results from drilling completed in the September quarter are highlighted in beige (refer to ASX release dated 11 October 2022).
Recent drilling in the Shaft 1 Area focused on extensions to the Vein 5 vein structure. Historically, more than 200,000 ounces of gold was extracted from the high-grade vein, with the continuous structure averaging approximately 0.5 metres in width. The recent AuTECO drilling has successfully demonstrated the vein continues along strike beyond the extents of historical mining.

Significant intersections from drilling during the quarter included:
-
0.4m @ 91.0g/t gold from 149.0m in hole AUDD0319
-
0.4m @ 32.2g/t gold from 30.4m in hole AUDD0327
-
1.8m @ 8.3g/t gold from 50.7m in hole AUDD0330
Near-mine exploration drilling has been conducted to test for mineralisation hosted in banded iron formation (BIF). Mineralisation within the BIF occurs in veins surrounded by a gold-bearing sulphide halo. The widths observed in historical intersections indicate the potential for bulk mining extraction within BIF style mineralisation. Recent BIF-hosted results include:
-
1.5m @ 20.2g/t gold from 488.0m in hole AUDD0298
-
2.2m @ 5.5g/t gold from 371.0m in hole AUDD0294
-
3.8m @ 3.5g/t gold from 339.2m in hole AUDD0278
-
5.0m @ 1.9g/t gold from 294.0m in hole AUDD0286
-
8.0m @ 1.8g/t gold from 245.0 in hole AUDD0281
FORWARD WORK PLAN
The Company intends to continue with a dual-tracked approach to drilling for the remainder of 2022, with a combination of extensional in-mine Resource growth drilling and regional exploration. The 50,000m drill campaign will continue during the December quarter.
As site accessibility improves in winter, the exploration focus from November 2022 through March 2023 will shift to regional exploration in addition to near mine targets that are inaccessable during the northern-hemisphere summer, such as Tyson.
An updated Resource estimate remains on track for delivery in early 2023.
