Review of Operations
Victoria Gold & Base Metals Projects
Snowstorm Project
During the quarter, First Au Limited (“the Company”, “FAU” or “First Au”) continued to make progress on the drilling program at its Snowstorm project, the details of which were announced to the ASX on 16 September 2021. FAU planned a 14-hole program and at the end of the December quarter 11 holes had been completed, with results announced for the first three holes (see Events Post Quarter End section below) and assay results for a further eight holes are expected in February. The remainder of the program is expected to be completed by mid-February 2022.
During the quarter, FAU also completed a Light Detection and Ranging (“LIDAR”) survey at Snowstorm. The Snowstorm LIDAR has highlighted continuing mineralised trends as evidenced by historic workings along strike from the current drilling program and is assisting in further target generation (Figure 1). LIDAR has also shown to be highly effective at delineating important structural features as well as an effective and environmentally sustainable mapping tool for seeing through dense vegetation.

FAU’s Geological team also continued to undertake field works in preparation for drilling planned to be undertaken at the Haunted Stream Project in Q2 2022. The Company will provide further information on this program once finalised.
Dogwood Project
FAU previously advised that it expected the Dogwood (EL006977) tenement application to be granted prior to end of the 2021 calendar year, along with other tenements in the region (EL006975 & EL006976). FAU has had recent communications with ERR and is confident granting of the tenement will happen shortly.
FAU remains well placed to commence a drill program at its Dogwood Project very shortly after granting of the tenement, with a drill rig secured and drill hole targeting in the final stages. The Company will provide further updates on the drilling program once the tenement is granted.
Mabel Creek Project, South Australia
During the quarter no field work was undertaken at the Mabel Creek Project. The Company is progressing its Native Title Agreement, which is required before it can commence field work. FAU has had communication with the Native Title party and expects to have an agreement in place during Q2 2022.
The Company has commenced desktop work on the Project, this work includes litho-structural interpretation integrating all geophysical datasets available and drill target generation. This work is expected to be complete prior to the end of Q1 2022.
Gimlet Gold Project, Kalgoorlie
No new drilling was undertaken at the Gimlet Gold Project during the quarter. The Company is in the process of investigating ways to advance the Project to a potential production stage or reach an agreement that delivers value to the Company. This may include further exploration work and discussions with third parties on potential agreements. The Company will provide updates on the Project and any progress when appropriate.
The Company has previously announced The Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of Inferred Resource of 1,166,000 tonnes at 3.2 g/t Au for 120,000oz at a 1 g/t cut-off[1 ] (see Table 1 below for full breakdown). This is a 73% increase from the previous reported inferred Gimlet Resource of 69,000 ounces Au at 3.3g/t Au and cut off 1.3g/t Au[2] . The mineralisation at Gimlet remains open at depth.
Table 1: June 2021 MRE using 1 g/t Au cut-off
| June 2021 Inferred MRE | Tonnes | Grade(g/t Au) | Ounces |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oxide | 70,800 | 2.53 | 5,800 |
| Transitional | 93,400 | 3.21 | 9,600 |
| Fresh | 1,001,700 | 3.24 | 104,200 |
| Total | 1,165,900 | 3.19 | 119,600 |
The geology in the tenement is prospective for gold, dominated by metamorphosed felsic and intermediate volcanic rocks of the Black Flag Group of the Kalgoorlie Terrane, Yilgarn Craton. This Archean geology is overlain by Cainozoic sediments, including some areas covered with salt lakes, which has previously inhibited the effectiveness of some of the historic exploration. First Au has completed multiple aircore and RC programs, which returned strong intersections, including 3m at 462 g/t Au from 52m[3] . The RC and diamond drilling is generally spaced to 40 metres along the already identified~ NNW-SSE mineralising trend and covered mineralisation from ~ 30m to below 300 m vertical depth, and ~ 450m in strike length. A total of 63 RC drill holes, and 8 diamond drill holes were used to create a 3D mineralisation framework and weathering surface.
-4-
East Pilbara – Talga Project and Tambina Project
During the quarter the Company incurred minimal expenditure to keep the tenement in good standing at the Talga Project, in the east Pilbara region. The Project is the subject of a Joint Venture Agreement with 8 Au Limited and maintenance costs will be reimbursed on finalisation of the agreement as outlined in ASX announcement dated 5 January 2021.
No field work was undertaken at the Tambina Project during the quarter.
Corporate Activities
On 13 October 2021, the Company announced that had received firm commitments for a share placement of 153,657,188 fully paid ordinary shares (“Placement Shares”) to unrelated sophisticated and professional investors at $0.012 per Placement Share to raise $1.84 million (before costs) (“Placement”). The Placement shares were issued on 19 October 2021 after all funds were received.
Every two Placement Shares were proposed to be accompanied by one free-attaching option (“Placement Option”) with the same terms as the existing quoted options (FAUOA) of the Company ($0.02 exercise price and expiry date of 1 July 2023). On 1 December 2021 the Company held a General Meeting where the approval of the issue of the options as free attaching to Placement Shares was voted for by shareholders, and the options were issued on 3 December 2021.
On 13 October 2021, the Company further announced that it proposed conducting a share purchase plan (“SPP”) to allow eligible shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for up to $30,000 of new fully paid ordinary shares (“SPP Shares”) at $0.012 per SPP Share.
On 3 December 2021, the Company announced that it had received subscriptions for $187,500 (15,625,009 shares (SPP Shares) at $0.012 per SPP Share) under the SPP. Every two SPP Shares were accompanied by one free-attaching option with the same terms as the existing quoted class of options of the Company (FAUOA) (New Options) (7,812,517 New Options in total). On 1 December 2021 the Company held a General Meeting where the approval of the issue of the options as free attaching to SPP Shares was voted for by shareholders, and the options were issued on 3 December 2021.

Events Post-Quarter End
Snowstorm Project
On 14 January 2022, the Company announced the initial results on its diamond drilling program at the Snowstorm Project. The results were from the first three diamond holes completed and demonstrate robust mineralised intervals, as shown below[4] :
| Hole ID | Intersection |
|---|---|
| SNDDHP2001 | 1.65m @ 1.5 g/t Aufrom 38.5m |
| SNDDHP2002 | 6.4m @ 4.1 g/t Aufrom 28.5m including0.2m @ 59.2 g/t Aufrom 29.3m and 0.85m @ 9.6 g/t Aufrom 33.15m |
| SNDDHP2003 | 3.6m @ 5.3 g/t Aufrom 60.9m including0.4m @ 23.8 g/t Aufrom 63.15m |
| 1.7m @ 1.1 g/t Au(from 76m) |
The drilling has succeeded in showing mineralisation in all three holes, with high-grade gold assays up to 59.2 g/t Au hosted in sulphide mineralised breccia veins contained in a mineralised envelope, comprising sericite altered sandstone and brecciated black shales, and an early mafic dyke which is also mineralised (Figure 3).

As mentioned above, an additional 8 holes have also been drilled to a total of 768m with assays results pending. Many of these holes demonstrate similar styles of quartz veining and sulphide mineralisation.
Mt Turner Acquisition
On 11 January 2022, the Company announced that it had entered a binding terms sheet (“Terms Sheet”) with Essex Minerals Inc, a British Columbia incorporated minerals explorer listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV:ESX) (“ESX”) for the option to earn an initial 51% interest and acquire up to a 100% interest in the Exploration Permits 27170 and 27525 (collectively the “Mt Turner Project” or “the Tenements”) located in Queensland by way of farm-in and a later potential acquisition of outstanding interests.
A summary of the structure of the transaction is as follows:
-
After satisfactory completion by FAU of a 60-day period of due diligence investigation (and satisfaction of other conditions), ESX grants FAU an option, which if exercised would commence the farm-in process. FAU will subject to the option proceeding pay ESX an option fee of an aggregate of 5,000,000 ordinary shares and 5,000,000 options each to acquire one ordinary share of FAU for an exercise price of 3 cents and expiring 2 years from issue.
-
The option will have a term of 220-days, during the term of the option FAU will provide funding for an Induced Polarisation survey (IP survey) and associated exploration program for the purpose of identifying drill targets, the program is expected to cost $500,000.
-
If FAU elects the exercise the option, it will make a payment of 10,000,000 FAU ordinary shares to ESX. Once the option has been exercised, under the farm-in arrangement, FAU will be required to spend a minimum of $2,000,000 within 2-years to earn a 51% interest in the tenements.
-
Subject to earning the 51% interest, FAU will have the right (but not the obligation) to acquire the outstanding 49% interest in the Mt Turner project for consideration as described in Annexure A.
A comprehensive summary of the material provisions of the Terms Sheet is set out in the announcement dated 11 January 2022.
The FAU geological team is currently examining the project in more detail, as part of the due diligence period prior to entering into the option agreement, the Company will provide an update once it has completed its investigations.
