Coolgardie Gold Project - Updated Ore Reserves

Highlights:

  • A 2022 Ore Reserve of 7.48M tonnes at 1.81 g/t for 436,532 contained ounces has been estimated using a gold price A$2,200 per ounce

  • An initial Ore Reserve estimate of 48,500 oz has been completed for the CNX open pit

  • New geotech information and mine designs allow reduction of strip ratio of Greenfields and Brilliant pits by 36% and 31% respectively

  • To date, only 31% of the total Coolgardie Measured and Indicated Resources have been included in the updated Ore Reserves

  • A Life of Mine Plan will be developed based on the 2022 Ore Reserves estimates

West Australian gold company Focus Minerals Limited ( ASX: FML ) ( Focus or the Company ) is pleased to announce results of the 2022 Ore Reserve update for the Coolgardie Gold Project ( Coolgardie ). The Coolgardie project includes 175km[2] of highly prospective tenements on the outskirts of the Coolgardie township in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields.

Commenting on the 2022 Ore Reserve estimate for Coolgardie, Focus Minerals’ Executive Chairman, Mr Wanghong Yang, said:

“This updated Ore Reserve estimate demonstrates an economically viable future for the Coolgardie Gold Operations, with an improvement in overall strip ratio, the addition of CNX deposit and a new underground mine ready for development at Bonnie Vale. The result of these updated Ore Reserves will provide the platform for Focus to transition from Explorer to Producer.”

The 2022 Ore Reserves is shown below with comparison to the previous Ore Reserves as restated in the FY2021 Annual Report to Shareholders (refer to ASX announcement dated 30 March 2022):

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

For the purpose of assessing and reporting compliance with the JORC (2012) Code, Table 1 of the of the JORC Code has been compiled and provided below. Further detail regarding the basis of the Ore Reserve estimates can be found in the 2020 PFS Update and the original 2017 PFS study and relevant Mineral Resource reports.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

  • Section 1 Details for the Greenfields deposit reproduced from ASX Announcement “Measured Growth at the Greenfields Open Pit” Dated 5/08/2022
Criteria Explanation
Sampling techniques Focus Minerals Ltd (FML) RC percussion drill chips were collected at 1m
intervals via a riffle splitter to achieve a sample weight of approximately 3kg.
For FML diamond core, sample intervals are either cut on metre intervals or with
intervals selected to geological boundaries down to 10cm. Core is cut in half by
diamond bladed saw with half sent to the laboratory and half retained in the core
tray on site. Some of the diamond core has been ¼ core sampled, this is only in
the minority of cases.
Coolgardie Gold NL (CGNL) collected 1m samples or 2m composites for RC
holes, however, do not state their sub-sampling techniques.
CGNL diamond core was drilled at NQ size with an RC pre-collar. Half-core
samples were selectively taken over 1m intervals.
Gold Mines of Coolgardie (GMC) collected 1m RC samples from surface.
MPI collected 1m RC cuttings and were then passed through a trailer mounted
cyclone and stand-alone riffle splitter to provide a 4-6kg sample.
Diamond core was drilled at NQ2 size and after orienting and logging, was ½
core sampled over the entire length of alteration zones up to a maximum of 1.5m
length.
The Redemption JV (RJV) established between companies Goldfan Ltd, Croesus
Mining NL, Matador Mining and Focus Minerals collected 1m RC samples from a
trailer mounted cyclone and riffle splitter to achieve a sample weight of 4-6kg.

Diamond core was NQ2 sized and ½ core sampled from 0.3m to a maximum of
1.5m.
Drilling techniques
Drilling included in the Mineral Resource estimate include RC face sampling
hammer or NQ size diamond core. All FML drill core was orientated by the
drilling contractor using an Ezy-mark system. Most holes were surveyed upon
completion of the drilling have either been surveyed by single-shot camera,
electronic multi-shot (EMS) or Gyroscopic methods.
Drill sample recovery In recent FML drilling all RC samples are drilled dry wherever possible to
maximize recovery, with water injected on the outside return to minimize dust.
There have been no recovery or sample quality issues for the FML drilling RC
chips or drill core.

Sample recovery has been recorded in the drill hole logs for the diamond holes
drilled by CGNL with no recovery issues. Historic RC drilling recovery is not
recorded.

Page 14 of 78

Criteria Explanation
Logging FML drill holes were logged for the entire length of the hole.
All diamond core samples were orientated, marked into metre intervals and
compared to the depth measurements on the core blocks. Any core loss was
noted and recorded in the database. All core was logged for structure and
geology using the same system as RC. The core was photographed wet and dry
one tray at a time using a standardised photography jig.
All RC samples were geologically logged to record weathering, regolith, rock
type, colour, alteration, mineralisation, structure and texture and any other
notable features that are present.
Logging was qualitative; however, the geologists often record quantitative mineral
percentage ranges.
Historic RC and Diamond holes have been logged at 1m intervals to record
weathering, regolith, rock type, colour, alteration, mineralisation, structure and
texture and any other notable features that are present.

Original drill logs have been viewed and used to validate data stored in acQuire
for a majority of thepre-Focus drilling.
Sub-sampling techniques
and sample preparation
FML diamond core samples were taken from half core or quarter core cut using
an Almonte automatic core saw. The remainder of the core was retained in core
trays.

RC samples were cone split to a nominal 2.5kg to 3kg sample weight. The
drilling method was designed to maximise sample recovery and delivery of
a clean, representative sample into the calico bag.

The samples were collected in a pre-numbered calico bag bearing a unique
sample ID. Samples were crushed to 75μm at the laboratory and riffle split
(if required) to a maximum 3kg sample weight.
FML samples have been assayed by ALS Chemex in Kalgoorlie or Perth using a
30g Fire Assay method with an AAS finish.

The assay laboratories’ sample preparation procedures follow industry best
practice, with techniques and practices that are appropriate for this style of
mineralisation. Pulp duplicates were taken at the pulverising stage and selective
repeats conducted at the laboratories’ discretion.

The sample sizes were considered to be appropriate for the type, style and
consistency of mineralisation encountered during this phase of exploration.

Analytical methods for gold analysis for much of the historical drilling are 25g –
50g Fire Assay method and 50g Aqua Regia completed at various laboratories
in Kalgoorlie and Perth.
Quality of assay data
and laboratory tests
The assay method and laboratory procedures were appropriate for this style of
mineralisation. The fire assay technique was designed to measure total gold in
the sample.
No geophysical tools, spectrometers or handheld XRF instruments were used.

Drilling completed by Focus is subject to rigorous quality control processes in the
sampling process. Routine standards and “blanks” are inserted into the sample
strings and monitored on return from the laboratory. Any failures by these
control samples to be within the acceptable three standard deviation limits above
and below the certified values results in a string of samples around the failed
sample to be re-tested by the laboratory.

Regular reviews of the sampling were carried out by the supervising geologist
and senior field staff, to ensure all procedures were followed and best industry
practice carried out.
Very little in the way of quality control data is available from sampling of the
historical drilling that currently defines the resource. In 2002 MPI resampled
some of the CGNL diamond core with repeats showing high degree of grade
variability with a slight upgrade in mean grade.
RJV inserted a certified standard and a field blank every 20 samples, whilst the
ALS Chemex laboratory in Kalgoorlie inserted a blank or certified standard every

Market Announcement | Page 15 of 78

Criteria Explanation
20 samples and a duplicate every 10 samples.

Drilling by Focus aimed to confirm the geometry of the ore envelope and grade
tenor encountered in historical drilling.
Verification of sampling
and assaying
Significant intervals were visually inspected by company geologists to correlate
assay results to logged mineralisation.
Primary data is sent in digital format to the company’s Database Administrator
(DBA) as often as was practicable. The DBA imports the data into an acQuire
database, with assay results merged into the database upon receipt from the
laboratory. Once loaded, data was extracted for verification by the geologist in
charge of the project.
Historic holes were validated against paper copies and WAMEX reports where
possible.

No adjustments were made to any current or historic data. If data could not be
validated to a reasonable level of certainty it was not used in any resource
estimations.
Location of data points All co-ordinates and bearings use the MGA94 Zone 51 grid system.
FML drill collars were surveyed by DGPS base station instruments.
Most of the RC and diamond holes have down hole surveys by either Eastman
single shot camera, Electronic Multi-shot or Gyroscopic methods.

CGNL used Surtron to carry out the downhole surveying.
Data spacing and
distribution

Drilling has been conducted on 20m by 10 – 15m spaced grid on sections
orientated across strike of the ore zone at an azimuth of either 020º or 200 º
and at various dips. After mining commenced FML conducted RC Grade control
drilling on a 10m x 10m staggered grid at different pit floor levels across the
mineralisation, averaging 40m depth. Wider spaced drilling exists at depth up to
as wide as 40m by 80m.
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure
Drilling was designed based on known geological models, field mapping, verified
historical data and cross-sectional interpretation.

Drill holes were orientated at right angles to the strike of the deposit, with dip
optimised for drill capabilities and dip of the mineralisation.
Sample security All samples were reconciled against the sample submission with any omissions
or variations reported to FML.

Historic sample security is not recorded.
Audits or reviews Significant data validation was completed by consultants Hellmann and Schofield
who completed a resource estimate in 2005.

A review of sampling techniques was carried out by rOREdata Pty Ltd in late
2013 as part of a database amalgamation project. Their only recommendation
was to change the QA/QC intervals to bring them into line with the FML
Laverton system, which uses the same frequency of standards and duplicates
but has them inserted at differentpoints within the numbering sequence.

Criteria Commentary Commentary
Sampling
techniques

This report relates to results from Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling and diamond
core drilling. The information of sampling techniques below applies to the drill
holes drilled by Focus Minerals (FML) only.

RC percussion drill chips were collected through a cyclone and cone splitter.
Samples were collected on a 1m basis. Diamond core was sampled across
identified zones of mineralisation by site geologists, the sample widths varied
between a minimum of 0.2m and a maximum of 1m.

RC chips were passed through a cone splitter to achieve a sample weight of
approximately 3kg. The splitter was levelled at the beginning of each hole using a
bullseye level. The spoils were collected at 1m intervals.

4m composite samples were taken by spear sampling the spoils. Where results
returned greater than 0.2g/t Au, the 1m samples were submitted.

At the assay laboratory all samples were oven dried, crushed to a nominal 10mm
using a jaw crusher (core samples only) and weighed. Samples in excess of 3kg in
weight were riffle split to achieve a maximum 3kg sample weight before being
pulverized to 90% passing 75μm.

The diamond core was marked up for sampling by the supervising geologist during
the core logging process, with sample intervals determined by the presence of
mineralisation and/or alteration. The core was cut in half using an Almonte
automatic core saw.

Electrum submitted 1m RC samples for analysis.

Goldfan collected 2kg samples as either 4m composites or as 1m samples through
mineralised ground or interesting geology. Samples were run through a cyclone.
Where the 4m composite samples returned greater than 0.2g/t Au, 1m samples
were submitted. Diamond core was sampled according to lithological boundaries.
Mineralised zones were half diamond sawn in intervals generally not exceeding
1m.

MPI collected drill cuttings at one metre intervals which were passed through a
trailer mounted cyclone and stand-alone riffle splitter to provide a 4-6kg split
sample and a bulk residue for logging. All samples were dry. Initially samples were
spear-sampled to form up to 5m composites and submitted for analysis. Any
results above 0.5g/t Au resulted in the 1m samples then being submitted.
Drilling techniques All FML drilling was completed using an RC face sampling hammer or NQ2/HQ3
size diamond core. Where achievable, all drill core was oriented by the drilling
contractor using an Ezy-mark system. Most holes were surveyed upon completion
of drilling initially using an electronic multi-shot (EMS) camera and since Sept 2013
a north-seeking gyroscope; holes were surveyed open-hole prior to 2017. Since
late 2016, all holes were surveyed using various gyroscopes (non-north-seeking
paired with an azimuth aligner and north-seeking) by the drill contractors whilst
drilling.
Goldfan used RC face sampling hammer or NQ2 diamond core drilling methods.
The core was not orientated. Holes were downhole surveyed by Eastman single
shot camera and later by Eastman multiple shot camera.
MPI used RC drilling methods and downhole surveys by Eastman single shot
camera.
Drill sample
recovery
FML Sample recovery was recorded by a visual estimate during the logging
process.
All RC samples were drilled dry whenever possible to maximize recovery, with
water injection on the outside return to minimise dust.
Goldfan states a consistent sample recovery in the range of 80-90%

Market Announcement | Page 17 of 78

Logging The information of logging techniques below applies to the drill holes drilled by
FML only. All core samples were oriented, marked into metre intervals and
compared to the depth measurements on the core blocks. Any loss of core was
noted and recorded in the drilling database.
All RC samples were geologically logged to record weathering, regolith, rock type,
colour, alteration, mineralisation, structure and texture and any other notable
features that are present.
All diamond core was logged for structure, and geologically logged using the same
system as that for RC.
The logging information was transferred into the company’s drilling database once

Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation
The information of sub-sampling and sample preparation below applies to the drill
holes drilled by FML only.
Core samples were taken from half core, cut using an Almonte automatic core saw.
The remainder of the core was retained in core trays tagged with a hole number
and metre mark.
RC samples were cone split to a nominal 2.5kg to 3kg sample weight. The drilling
method was designed to maximise sample recovery and delivery of a clean,
representative sample into the calico bag.
Where possible all RC samples were drilled dry to maximise recovery. The use of a
booster and auxiliary compressor provide dry sample for depths below the water
table. Sample condition was recorded (wet, dry, or damp) at the time of sampling
and recorded in the database.
The samples were collected in a pre-numbered calico bag bearing a unique
sample ID. Samples were crushed to 75μm at the laboratory and riffle split (if
required) to a maximum 3kg sample weight. Early FML composite samples were
analysed for gold by a 40g aqua regia and then 40g Fire Assay for individual
samples with an ICP-OES or AAS Finish. More recent Focus drilling used 40g Fire
Assay with AAS finish for both composite and 1m samples.
The assay laboratories’ sample preparation procedures follow industry best
practice, with techniques and practices that are appropriate for this style of
mineralisation. Pulp duplicates were taken at the pulverising stage and selective
repeats conducted at the laboratories’ discretion.
Earlier FML QAQC checks involved inserting a standard or blank every 10 samples
in RC and taking a field duplicate every 20 samples in RC. Field duplicates were
collected from the cone splitter on the rig. Diamond core field duplicates were not
taken, a minimum of 1 standard was inserted for every sample batch submitted. In
more recent drilling no blanks were submitted, only standards every 25 samples
with a duplicate taken off the rig every 20th sample.
Regular reviews of the sampling were carried out by the supervising geologist and
senior field staff, to ensure all procedures were followed and best industry practice
carried out.
The sample sizes are considered to be appropriate for the type, style and
consistency of mineralisation encountered during thisphase of exploration.

Market Announcement | Page 18 of 78

Electrum submitted samples to SGS and Sertec in Kalgoorlie. Samples submitted
to SGS were dried, jaw crushed, hammer milled, split and pulverised in Chromium
Steel Mill. Assaying was by a 20g Aqua Regia digest and analysed by AAS. Sertec
laboratory was found to have deficient lab practices with poor repeatability and
SGS the preferred Laboratory.
Goldfan originally submitted its samples to Australian Laboratories Group
Kalgoorlie. The 2kg samples were oven dried, then crushed to a nominal 6mm and
split once through a Jones riffle splitter. A 1kg sub-sample was fine pulverised in a
Keegor Pulveriser to a nominal 100 microns. This sample was homogenised and
400-500g split as the assay pulp for analysis. Assaying was by a classical fire
assay on a 50g charge to a lower detection limit of 0.01 ppm gold.
Diamond core and later RC drilled by Goldfan was submitted to Minlab Kalgoorlie
where the whole of the sample is pulverised in a ring mill before 300g sample is
split as the assay pulp. Assaying was by fire assay on a 50g charge to a lower
detection limit of 0.01 ppm gold.
Goldfan conducted inter-laboratory check sampling over approx. 10% of holes over
the whole program with results found to be within acceptable limits.
Laboratory repeat checks were also run on the assay data.
MPI submitted their samples to Analabs in Perth for analysis for gold by 50g fire
assay for a 0.01g/t detection limit.
Laboratory repeat checks were also run, it appears minimum 3 analysis checks run
for most of the drill holes.
Quality of assay
data and laboratory
tests
The assay method and laboratory procedures were appropriate for this style of
mineralisation. The fire assay technique was designed to measure total gold in the
sample.
No geophysical tools, spectrometers or handheld XRF instruments were used.
The QA/QC process described above was sufficient to establish acceptable levels
of accuracy and precision. All results from assay standards and duplicates were
scrutinised to ensure they fell within acceptable tolerances.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
Significant intervals were visually inspected by company geologists to correlate
assay results to logged mineralisation. Consultants were not used for this process.
Normally if old historic drilling was present, twinned holes are occasionally drilled to
test the veracity of historic assay data; however, no twinned holes were drilled
during this program.
Primary data is sent in digital format to the company’s Database Administrator
(DBA) as often as was practicable. The DBA imports the data into an acQuire
database, with assay results merged into the database upon receipt from the
laboratory. Once loaded, data was extracted for verification by the geologist in
charge of the project.
No adjustments were made to any current or historic data. If data could not be
validated to a reasonable level of certainty it was not used in any resource
estimations.
Location of data
points
FML drill collars were surveyed after completion, using a DGPS instrument. All drill
core was oriented by the drilling contractor using an Ezy-mark system. Most holes
were surveyed upon completion of drilling. Initially an electronic multi-shot camera
was used until Sept 2013 when a north-seeking gyroscope tool was used. Holes
were surveyed open hole prior to 2016. Since late 2016, most drill holes were
surveyed using various gyroscope systems (non-north-seeking gyroscopes paired
with azimuth aligners and north-seeking gyroscopes) by the drillers whilst drilling,
otherwise surveyed open hole using a north-seeking gyroscope. Since the start of
2017, gyroscopes were used for “single shot” surveys whilst drilling, otherwise a
single shot Eastman camera downhole survey was used.
All coordinates and bearings use the MGA94 Zone 51grid system.

Drill spacing along the Brilliant trend is approximately 20m x 20m through the main
lode horizon, increasing to 20m x 40m and 40m x 40m to the north of 6573000mN.
Orientation of data
in relation to
geological structure
Drilling was designed based on known geological models, field mapping, verified
historical data and cross-sectional interpretation.
Drill holes were oriented at right angles to strike of deposit, with dip optimised for
drill capabilities and the dip of the mineralisation.
Sample security All samples were reconciled against the sample submission with any omissions or
variations reported to FML.
All samples were bagged in a tied numbered calico bag, grouped into green plastic
bags. The bags were placed into cages with a sample submission sheet and
delivered directly from site to the Kalgoorlie laboratories by FML personnel on a
daily basis.
Historic sample security is not recorded.
Audits or reviews A review of sampling techniques was carried out by rOREdata Pty Ltd in late 2013
as part of a database amalgamation project. Their only recommendation was to
change the QA/QC intervals to bring them into line with the FML Laverton system,
which uses the same frequency of standards and duplicates but has them inserted
at different points within the numbering sequence.

Sampling
techniques
FML RC Sampling
Focus Minerals Ltd (FML) RC percussion drill chips were collected through a
cyclone and riffle splitter. Samples were collected on a 1m basis. The spoils were
either bagged per metre in appropriately sized plastic bags or placed on the ground
and left in neat rows at 1m intervals with an accompanying cone split 1m calico
sample
FML Diamond Core Sampling
Diamond core was collected into standard plastic core trays. Down hole depths were
marked onto wooden core blocks and stored in the trays.
The diamond core was marked up for sampling by the supervising geologist during
the core logging process, with sample intervals determined by the presence of
mineralisation and/or alteration. Whenever possible the cutline was drawn parallel
to and close to the core orientation line to ensure the cutline was consistent over the
hole. The core was cut using an automatic core saw, with half-core samples (NQ
and HQ) and quarter core samples (PQ) submitted for analysis.
At the assay laboratory all samples were oven dried, crushed to a nominal 10mm
using a jaw crusher (core samples only) and weighed. Samples in excess of 3kg in
weight were riffle split to achieve a maximum 3kg sample weight before being
pulverized to 90% passing 75μm.
Goldfan collected 2kg samples as either 4m composites or as 1m samples through
mineralised ground or interesting geology. Samples were run through a cyclone and
then put through a riffle splitter. Where the 4m composite samples returned greater
than 0.25g/t Au, 1m samples were submitted.
Cord Holdings (Cord) collected 1m samples off the RC rig, split the samples by
unknown methods and submitted them for assay.
Information on the seven Diamond holes drilled by Northland Minerals Ltd is limited
and only referred to as an internal report on WAMEX. However, four of these holes
were targeted within the current CNX pit. Samples were taken as predominantly 1m
intervals, with 2m composites taken from surface to approx. 18m below surface.
Samples were also taken to geological contacts.
Clackline Ltd (Clackline) drilled RC pre-collars followed by NQ drill core. The RC
pre-collars were riffle split with 1m samples submitted for assay, while NQ core was
sawn and ½ core 1m samples submitted for analysis.
Drilling techniques Years 2020 onward FML RC drilling was conducted using a 5 3/8inch face sampling
hammer for RC drilling.
At hole completion, downhole surveys for RC holes were completed at a 10m
interval by using True North Seeking Gyro tool. Otherwise, a single shot Eastman
camera downhole survey was used either “in-rod” or “open hole”.
Years 2020 onward FML diamond drilling core was drilled at NQ2/HQ3/PQ size. All
drill core was oriented where competent by the drilling contractor using an electronic,
accelerometer-based system.
At hole completion diamond holes were open hole surveyed using an electronic
multi-shot (EMS) tool in single shot mode at a range of intervals between 20m and
50m on drilling advance, averaging 30m.
Year 2014 FML drilling was completed using an RC face sampling hammer or
NQ2/HQ3 size diamond core. Where achievable, all drill core was oriented by the
drilling contractor using an Ezy-mark system. Most holes were surveyed upon
completion of drilling using an EMS camera open hole.
Goldfan used RC face sampling hammer. Holes were downhole surveyed by
Eastman single shot camera and later by Eastman multiple shot camera.
Cord RC holes were completed using RC roller and hammer.
Clackline drilled RC pre-collars followed by NQ diamond core tails. Holes were
downhole surveyed by Eastman single shot camera.

Sampling
techniques

This report relates to results from Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling and diamond
core drilling. The information of sampling techniques below applies to the drill
holes drilled by Focus Minerals (FML) only.

RC percussion drill chips were collected through a cyclone and cone splitter.
Samples were collected on a 1m basis. Diamond core was sampled across
identified zones of mineralisation by site geologists, the sample widths varied
between a minimum of 0.2m and a maximum of 1m. For the 2004 drill program at
Bonnie Vale 4m composite samples were collected manually using spear
sampling of green bags and submitted for assay. Where the RC composite
samples returned an assay value of 0.2g/t Au or greater, the 1m cone-split
samples were then submitted for analysis.

RC chips were passed through a cone splitter to achieve a sample weight of
approximately 3kg. The splitter was levelled at the beginning of each hole using a
bullseye level. At the assay laboratory all samples were oven dried, crushed to a
nominal 10mm using a jaw crusher (core samples only) and weighed. Samples in
excess of 3kg in weight were riffle split to achieve a maximum 3kg sample weight
before being pulverized to 90% passing 75μm. The samples were then prepared
for fire assay.

When visible gold was observed in RC chips, this sample was then flagged by
the supervising geologist for the benefit of the laboratory. The diamond core was
marked up for sampling by the supervising geologist during the core logging
process, with sample intervals determined by the presence of mineralisation
and/or alteration. The core was cut in half using an Almonte automatic core saw,
with half-core samples submitted to Kalgoorlie assay laboratories for fire assay
analysis by a 50g fire assay with an ICP-OES or AAS Finish.

Matador Exploration Pty Ltd (Matador) collected drill cuttings at 1m intervals and
passed through a trailer-mounted cyclone and stand-along riffle splitter to provide
a 4-6kg split sample and bulk residue for logging. 4m composites were taken by
spearing the residue and submitted for assay and where results were returned
above 0.2g/t, the 1m riffle split samples were submitted for analysis.

Coolgardie Gold NL (CGNL) does not state sampling techniques except
commentary that 4m composites were used and resampled when assays
returned 0.2g/t Au or greater.
Drilling techniques
All FML drilling was completed using an RC face sampling hammer or NQ2/HQ
size diamond core. Drill core was oriented by the drilling contractor using an Ezy-
mark or electronic system were core conditions allowed. Most holes were
surveyed upon completion of drilling using a north-seeking gyroscope. The holes
were surveyed initially open-hole and in later programs within the rods. Otherwise
a single shot Eastman camera downhole survey was used.

Matador used RC drilling methods and surveyed the hole using Electronic Multi-
Shot (EMS) system.

CGNL used RC drilling methods.

Geology The Greenfields deposit is located within the Greenfield sill which is an
equivalent unit of the Three Mile Sill.
From footwall to hangingwall the geology of the Greenfields open pit comprises:
Non mineralised units comprising the steeply south west dipping footwall shear
zone
Ultramafic volcanics
Structurally repeated sequence of sheared ultramafics and overlying Black
Flag volcaniclastics,
Sheared Black Flag volcaniclastics.
Units hangingwall to the footwall shear zone
A syncline defined by folded Black Flag Volcaniclastics is noted at the upper
NW and SE sides of the open pit. This syncline presumably overlaid gabbro
hosted mineralisation through the central parts of the now mined open pit.
The majority of the open pit is situated on the hangingwall of the
unmineralized footwall shear zone. The hangingwall is composed
predominantly of Three Mile Sill equivalent differentiated layered intrusion.
The chill margin of the intrusion is dolerite. The central part of the intrusion
comprises variable gabbro sub units including significantly mineralised G2
Gabbro unit.
Gold Mineralisation
Mineralisation is hosted by a quartz vein stockwork that exploits a conjugate set
of brittle-ductile fractures. The structural sets are dominantly:

steep dipping to the south west
The structural sets host Bucky quartz veins have accessory pyrrhotite and
arsenopyrite sulphides and sometimes visible gold is observed.
Veins display crack seal textures and are commonly weakly wall rock
laminated.

The wall rock to the veins is commonly bleached over 0.2 - 0-.4m intervals.
Drill hole Information Historic drilling information has been validated against publicly available
WAMEX reports. Not all drill holes can be found referenced in the WAMEX
reports. However, cross-checking of original drill surveys was verified against
the database. Most of these holes were drilled in the excavated pit area and has
been depleted from the reported resource.

Data aggregation
methods
Mineralised intersections are reported at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off with a minimum
reporting width of 1m for RC holes and 0.2m for diamond holes, composited to
1m.
Relationship between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths
Holes were drilled orthogonal to mineralisation as much as possible, however
the exact relationship between intercept width and true width cannot be
estimated exactly in all cases.
Diagrams Refer to Figures and Tables in body of the release.
Balanced reporting
All drill assay results used in this estimation are published in previous news
releases.
Historic drill hole results available on WAMEX.
Other substantive
exploration data
There is no other material exploration data to report at this time.
Further work

Final grade control drilling at Greenfields will be completed in the period July to
mid August 2022 with final results expected in the December quarter 2022.
The final phase grade control program will extend the existing RC grade control
throughout the area targeted by the V23 pit at approximatel~12m x 15m spacing.
Once compiled the new grade control data will facilitate a final pre-mining grade
control Mineral Resource estimate to be compiled.

Criteria Commentary
Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status
All exploration was conducted on tenements 100% owned by Focus Minerals
Limited or its subsidiary companies Focus Operations Pty Ltd. All tenements are in
good standing.
The Malinyu Ghoorlie 2017 and Maduwongga 2017 Claims cover the majority of
the Coolgardie tenure. At this stage no Coolgardie claims have progressed to
determined status.
Exploration done by
other parties

Brilliant has been explored and mined by various parties over time. The first phase
of mining is believed to have taken place in the early twentieth century and would
have consisted of prospecting shafts and limited underground mining. Mines
Department records document treatment of 60 tons of ore producing 6.97oz of
gold up to 1935. No otherproduction is recorded.

Open pit mining of the prospect commenced in the 1970’s with a number of
parties processing ore through the Coolgardie State Battery. In 1980 a treatment
plant was constructed at Brilliant by Tryaction Pty Ltd, who produced from an
open pit. In the mid 1980’s Electrum NL bought into the project, forming a joint
venture with MC Mining. They expanded the treatment plant and continued open
pit mining in the Brilliant area. Recorded production by Electrum/MC Mining is
87,986 tonnes at 3.2 g/t Au for 9,000 ounces with a stripping ratio of 12.7:1
(Kirkpatrick, 1995).
The project was subsequently purchased by Goldfan Limited (a wholly owned
subsidiary of Herald Resources Ltd) in 1991 and incorporated into the Tindals
Project. They initiated drilling programs which increased the known extent of
mineralisation and completed further open cut mining to its present limits in the
early 2000’s. Table 2 in the FML Combined Annual Report of 2008 states an
estimated total production from Brilliant Pit of in excess of 1.1Mt @ 2.45g/t for
88,000 ounces.

Geology
Regionally Brilliant lies on the western margin of the Archaean Norseman –
Menzies Greenstone Belt within the Coolgardie Domain of the Kalgoorlie Terrane.

Host rocks at Brilliant are a sequence of Archaean basalts and ultramafics, which
have been intruded by a suite of porphyry dykes (also described as granodiorites).
The contacts of the porphyries and other intrusives host the bulk of the gold
mineralisation at Brilliant South.
The majority of mineralisation at Brilliant consists of a stock work of
quartz/sulphide micro-veining and albitic alteration of porphyry dykes and adjacent
units. Additional mineralisation exploits moderate ENE dipping fractures set and
extends between contact hosted mineralisation.

Data aggregation
methods

Mineralised intersections are reported at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off with a minimum
reporting width of 1m for RC holes and 0.2m for diamond holes, composited to
1m.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths

Holes were drilled orthogonal to mineralisation as much as possible, however the
exact relationship between intercept width and true width cannot be estimated
exactly in all cases.
Diagrams Accurate plans are included in this announcement.
Balanced reporting Drilling results are reported in a balanced reporting style.
The majority of FML drill assay results used in this estimation are published in
previous news releases. Historic drill hole results available on WAMEX.
Other substantive
exploration data
There is no additional material exploration data to report at this time.
Further work The Transition Zone Exploration Target area will be drilled in the next 12 months
Updated metallurgical testwork will be completed during the first half of 2022 to
confirm recovery using TMH plant and address conservative estimate used in the
2020 Coolgardie PFS refresh
Material Classification sampling and more detailed mine design work will also be
progressed during the first half of 2022 in order to progress submission of mining
proposals
The background mineralisation outside the shoots defined for the February 2022
Mineral Resource estimate will begin to be assessed by combination of initial draft
resource estimation and follow up drilling as the Coolgardie Gold Project
progresses towards return to production.

  • Section 2 Details for the CNX deposit reproduced from ASX Announcement “CNX Mineral Resource Update” Dated 24/11/2021
Criteria Commentary
Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status
CNX is located within Mining Lease M15/645, registered to Focus Minerals Ltd. and
Focus Operations Pty Ltd of Perth, Western Australia and which is current until March
2035.
The Malinyu Ghoorlie 2017 and Maduwongga 2017 Claims overlap this resource area.
Exploration done by
other parties
CNX and the adjacent Three Mile Hill deposits have been explored by numerous
parties over the years. A 1986 Cord WAMEX report references the lease mentioned
in 1947 Department of Mines Annual Reports. They also indicate earlier prospecting
activity was evident by:
two shallow shafts
several shallow pits sunk within the mineralised dolerite belt.
large scale alluvial/elluvial surface mining by previous holders
More modern exploration of the deposit has involved various drilling campaigns by
various drilling methods such as RAB, RC and Diamond since the mid 1960’s.
Geological mapping, trenching, ground magnetics, aeromagnetics and soil sampling
have also been routinely carried out by other parties since the mid 1980’s.
Herald Resources briefly mined CNX in the 1990’s by open pit extraction while it was
mining the adjacent Three Mile Hill deposit to the SE of the Great Eastern Highway.
A 1.2Mtpa processing plant was constructed at the Three Mile Hill deposit.
The existing CNX pit is 275m long, 75m wide and has been mined to a depth of 30m.
The 1991 CNX OP produced 196Kt @ 1.86 g/t for 11,700oz targeting mineralisation
exceeding 1 g/t.. Further to the south-east along the strike of the host G2 Gabbro is
the Three Mile Hill OP. TMH OP has reported production of 4.2Mt at a grade of 2.4g/t
Au for 324,116 ounces.
Geology CNX

The CNX deposit mineralisation is located within the steeply southwest dipping and
northwest striking Three Mile Hill Meta-gabbro. The Three Mile Hill Gabbro is a
layered sill which includes a differentiated coarse grained granophyric quartz-
hornblende granodiorite unit locally called “G2 Gabbro”.

The bulk of the quartz stockwork hosted mineralisation is developed within the G2
Gabbro.

Bulk style stockwork mineralisation is hosted by networks of 1 to +5cm quartz veins
with general very shallow dips to the south-west.

Higher grade, generally 5 to +30cm laminated quartz veins, dip moderately to the
south-east.

Together the two orientations of quartz vein stockworks have developed a bulk-style,
tabular ore body at CNX within the G2 Gabbro. This mineralisation extends under
the Great Eastern Highway and has been confirmed by drilling to be contiguous with
the Three Mile Hill OP 190m to the south-east.

CNX deposit averages 35 to 45m width and outcrops/subcrops over more than 700m
strike.

Infill and extensional drilling conducted since late 2020 has shown the mineralisation
at CNX to be remarkably consistent and predictable with new drill holes beneath the
indicated parts of the resource confirming potential for future resource expansion.
CNX Gap Zone/Princess Midas

Recent drilling north of CNX OP has confirmed the location of the G2 Gabbro
extending a further 190m to the NW before folding and extending an additional 400m
to the west – southwest.

  • Stockworks have been intersected between the north end of CNX and the fold nose over 190m strike. However, the tenor and width of the mineralisation declines in this area and it is now termed the “Gap Zone”. It is also noted the Gap Zone is crosscut by several north-west trending faults resulting in block faulting of the stratigraphy.

  • Several shallow workings and a single significantly larger shaft are located at the north end of the Gap Zone, historically called “Princess Midas”. The workings have targeted some of the Gap Zone crosscutting faults and also the eastern margin of the fold hinge where the mine stratigraphy changes orientation and extends westsouthwest.

Data aggregation
methods

Mineralised intersections are reported at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off with a minimum reporting
width of 1m for RC holes and 0.3m for diamond holes, composited to 1m.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths

Holes were drilled orthogonal to mineralisation as much as possible, however the
exact relationship between intercept width and true width cannot be estimated
exactly in all cases.

8 RC/DD holes have been drilled with dips toward the northwest, sub parallel and
cutting across the G2 Gabbro. These holes were completed to test the resource
model in areas being converted to Indicated status with holes planned to drill right
across the host stratigraphy. This orientation while not perpendicular to the overall
tabular mineralisation is in fact closer to orthogonal to the mineralised stockwork
system developed within the host G2 Gabbro.
Diagrams Refer to Figures and Tables in body of the release.
Balanced reporting Drill hole results available on WAMEX.

mining within 500m of the historic Bonnie Vale Townsite boundary as long
as activities do not impact the historic Varischetti Mine Shaft
Exploration done
by other parties

Bonnie Vale is the site of a number of historic workings including the “Varischetti
Mine” (Westralia). Modern exploration has been conducted by Coolgardie Gold
NL, Gold Mines of Coolgardie and FML.
Geology
Locally the geology of the deposit is dominated by the Bonnie Vale Tonalite, with
an ultramafic to the east and west of the tonalite. This ultramafic has been logged
as a carbonate altered ultramafic and described as a komatiite in Hallberg’s
regional mapping. Mineralisation is hosted within large (strike lengths >300m)
quartz reefs which range in thickness from centimetre scale to several metres.
The known reefs strike sub-parallel to the edge of the tonalite, with the main
orientations being an easterly dip (e.g. Westralia) or northeast (Bonnie Vale,
Quarry Reef) of 40 to 60 degrees

Geological
interpretation

Minor changes were made to the geological interpretation used in the July 2020
resource release were used for this mineral resource estimate and were constructed
as follows:

All available drill hole, mining data and pit mapping was used to guide the geological
interpretation of the mineralisation.

The mineralised geological interpretation was generated in Seequent Leapfrog Geo
implicit modelling software.

A total of 29 lodes were modelled. Four larger, steeper dipping (55o to SSW) lodes
were modelled, along with 25 less continuous, shallower dipping (30o to SSW) lodes.
The shallower lodes intersect the steeper lodes near surface with the flatter lying
structures given priority over the steeper dipping lodes.
Minor deviation of the lode geometry was modelled between drill holes down dip and
along strike.

Criteria
Explanation
Criteria
Explanation
Dimensions The resource extends over a NW strike length of over 480m and includes the ~150m
interval from the base of the final mined surface down to the 150mRL, some 250m
below surface. The thickness of the four steeper lodes varies from average thickness
of 20m near surface pinching to an average thickness of 3m at depth. The flatter
lying lodes vary from 1m to 8m wide have an average thickness of 3m.
Estimation and
modelling techniques

An Ordinary Kriging (OK) estimate was run using Datamine software, following the
process below:

Drill hole samples were selected within the mineralised lodes and composited to 1m
downhole intervals, the dominant sample interval from historic drilling. Residual
samples that did not meet the minimum length criteria (less than 0.2m) of the
compositing process were appended to the adjacent sample so that all material within
the wireframe was included.

The composited data was imported into Supervisor software for statistical and
geostatistical analysis.

After a review of the individual lode statistics, higher Au samples that were outliers to
the main population were “top-capped” to a selected value for each lode. An average
of 10ppm Au was used with a maximum of 15ppm Au.

Variography was modelled on data transformed to normal scores, the variogram
models were back transformed to original units before exporting.

Variography was performed on the individual lodes with larger sample numbers ~
150 samples. Lodes without variography shared the structure from a nearby lode.

The back-transformed variogram models had moderate to high nugget effects (20 to
60% of total sill), with a range from 20m to 200m for the lodes.

Estimation (via Ordinary Kriging) was into a non-rotated block model in MGA94 grid,
with a parent block size of 10 mE x 5 mN x 5 mRL – this is about the average drill
spacing in the deposit. Sub-blocking was used to best fill the wireframes and inherit
the grade of the parent block. No rotation was applied to the orientation of the blocks.

The ellipsoid search parameters used the variogram ranges, with a minimum of 8
and maximum of 16 samples per block estimate was used. After the first pass 76% of
blocks had estimated. For un-estimated blocks after this first pass, the search
distance was expanded by a factor of two and the minimum number of samples
dropped to 4. In the second pass 22% of blocks estimated. A third pass was then run
with an increased search distance by a factor of four and the same minimum number
of samples. Only 2% of blocks estimated in the third search pass.

Where the four steep lodes intersected the flat lodes a “soft boundary” approach was
taken, whereby samples were shared at the intersection up to 10m radius in the
overprinted steep lodes.

The estimate was validated by visually stepping through the estimated blocks and
sample data in Datamine. Comparing the estimated block statistics with composited
sample data and generate trend (Swath) plots to ensure the estimate was honouring
the trends of the data. Also, a review of the output parameters from the estimation
process like kriging variance, negative weights, search distances and sample

Geological
interpretation

All available drill hole and pit mapping data was used to guide the geological
interpretation of the mineralisation.

Drilling by FML from 2018 to 2021 confirmed and added to the mineralisation
interpretation from the June 2017 mineral resource estimate.

The host rocks at Brilliant are a sequence of Archaean basalts and ultramafics,
which have been intruded by a suite of porphyry dykes (also described as
granodiorites). The porphyries host the bulk of the mineralisation, occurring in two
orientations, steeply dipping to the east (70 - 80°) with an average width of 3 to 5
m, or flatter dipping (20 - 40°) with widths of up to 2 m. Mineralisation consists of a
stockwork of quartz / sulphide micro-veining and albite alteration of the porphyry.

Mineralised shoots in the host rocks were defined at about a 0.3 to 0.5 g/t Au cut
off, with these domains consistent with the geology. Higher-grade sub-domains
within these shoots forming sets of coherent north-plunging mineralised lodes were
also used.

The mineralised shoots strike to the NW in the northern east part of the deposit,
and to the NNE in the central part of the deposits and towards the SSW in the
southern part of the deposit.

There are five groups of mineralised shoots, each containing four to nine discrete
lodes.
Dimensions
The Brilliant mineralisation has been modelled over 2 km strike length, the shoots
have been interpreted from surface to approximately 600 m below surface (~ -180
mRL).

Market Announcement | Page 58 of 78


The main mineralised shoots vary in width from 2 to 20 m in width, with an average
of 5 m. smaller shoots on the hanging wall (east) of the main zone have a strike
length of few hundred metres, with average widths of 3 to 4 m.
Estimation and
modelling
techniques

Estimation of the mineral resource was by Ordinary Kriging (OK) using Datamine
software, with the process as follows:

Drill hole data was selected within mineralised domains and composited to 1m
downhole intervals – 1m is the dominant raw sampling interval.

The composited data was imported into Supervisor software for statistical and
geostatistical analysis.

Variography was done on data transformed to normal scores, and the variogram
models were back-transformed to original units. Variography was performed for
the largest shoot within each of the five groups, and this variogram model was
used for the other shoots in the group.

There is little difference in the Au grade distribution (mean and coefficient of
variation (CV)) between the fresh and transitional material types, and few
samples in the oxidised zone for most shoots, so all oxidation states were treated
as a single estimation domain per shoot.

The back-transformed variogram models had low to moderate nugget effects (20
to 50% of total sill), with a ranges of up to 250 m in the main zone to 20 m in the
smaller lodes.

Estimation (via Ordinary Kriging) was into a non-rotated block model in MGA94
grid, with a parent block size of 10 mE x 10 mN x 5 mRL – this is about the half
average drill spacing in the deposit.

The ellipsoid search parameters were slightly shorter than the variogram ranges
for each group of mineralised shoots. A minimum of 8 and maximum of 20
samples per block estimate was used. The search pass was expanded by a factor
of two if the first pass did not estimate a block, and by a factor of four if a third
pass was required. For the main high-grade shoots, 80 to 95% of the blocks were
estimated on the first pass.

A ‘distance limited threshold’ technique was used where uncapped data was used
within 5 m of the extreme values, but a capping was used beyond this. The caps
were variable per shoot and were based on inflections and discontinuities in the
histograms and log-probability plots. The highest cap was 20 ppm Au for the main
high-grade shoot, with most other high grade shoots having caps between 8 and
15 ppm Au.

Estimates of Au grades were validated against the composited drill hole data by
extensive visual checking in cross-section, plan and on screen in 3D, by global
comparisons of input data and model, and by semi-local statistical methods (swath
plots). All methods showed satisfactory results.
Moisture
Tonnages are estimated on a dry basis.
Cut-off parameters
The Resources for Brilliant have been reported above a 0.5 g/t cut-off for open cut
above 230 mRL, and above a 1.5 g/t cut-off for underground resources below the
230 mRL. This represents a reduction in reporting cut-off grade for the open cut
resources from 0.7 g/t to 0.5g/t compared to June 2017. The changes have been
made by the application of a simple economic mode (in Australian dollars):

Gold price of $2500/oz., Processing and G&A costs of $35/tonne, Processing
recovery of 95%.

Open cut mining costs $3.50/tonne, underground mining costs $80/tonne.
Mining factors or
assumptions

The upper part of the Brilliant deposit would be mined by conventional open-cut
methods. Pit optimisations and designs using preliminary wall angles and PFS
inputs (including conservative gold price of AUD $2,200/oz.) were run in September
2020 indicating potential for open pit extraction to 180 m depth (i.e., 230 mRL).

Geotech for Brilliant has been developed to feasibility level and indicates that the
wall rock for the pit design is competent and support moderately steep wall angles
and thereby expanded pit optimisation/economic pit designs

Previous mining at Brilliant in the 1990’s and early 2000’s was successful, with over
1.1 Mt for almost 90,000 ounces extracted.

The width of mineralisation from surface and overall steep mineralised sill geometry
supports extendedpit optimisation and designs.

Market Announcement | Page 59 of 78


Below 180 m depth, the high-grade shoots are steeply dipping consistent and
coherent zones that would be amenable to long hole stoping mining methods.
Metallurgical
factors or
assumptions
Historical open cut mining at Brilliant was successful, with almost 90,000 ounces
recovered by Herald Resources.
Metallurgical test work for Brilliant has been conducted over several periods
between 1984 and 1998 using a variety of methods including:
direct cyanide leach
gravity followed by cyanide leach
gravity followed by floatation and leach.

Given the proposed processing of Brilliant ore at the Three Mile Hill Plant, test work
comprising gravity recovery followed by leach is most representative recovery
method.

In December 1996 Ammtec Ltd conducted metallurgical test work on 2 composite
samples from Brilliant (TNG1166, 37-38m and 43-44m. Grade: 1.49 ppm) and
(TNG1167, 26-27m and 29-30m. Grade: 3.35 ppm). Work carried out included
detailed elemental analysis, grind establishment, gravity separation/cyanidation and
gravity separation/floatation/cyanidation test work. Excellent overall gold recoveries
were reported for the gravity/cyanide leaching test work with 97.75% for Composite
1 and 95.51% for Composite 2.

For the purposes of the 2017 and follow up 2020 Coolgardie PFS, metallurgical
recovery using the Three Mile Hill plant was conservatively discounted by 5% and
assumed to be 90.5%.
New test work is proposed for the Brilliant deposits which now include substantially
more ore tonnes reporting above 0.5 g/t cut off.
Environmental
factors or
assumptions

The Brilliant deposit occurs within an area of significant previous ground disturbance
including:

the previously mined pit is almost 1 km long and is over 70 m deep

large scale alluvial/eluvial washing plants

shafts/ trenches

the deposit is located 3 km south of the Three Mile Hill ROM pad.

The flora and fauna in the Brilliant area was assessed in 2013 as part of a mine
proposal developed at that time. No significant habitats were identified at that time.

During 2021 an updated and expanded biological study was progressed with final
results expected in 2022. This study has not identified at this time any threatened
or priority taxa in the survey area.
Bulk density
Density values were assigned based on lithology type and weathering profile.
Diamond core was used for water immersion technique density test work, and there
is an extensive data set of more than 700 determinations.

Bulk density values varied from 1.66 to 2.0 t/m3 for oxidised, from 2.69 to 2.81 t/m3
for transitional material and from 2.84 to 2.94 t/m3 for fresh rock.
Classification
Resources have been classified as Indicated and Inferred based mainly on
geological confidence in the geometry and continuity of the mineralisation and close
spaced (20m x 10m) drilling across the bulk of the deposit. In addition, various
estimation output parameters such as number of samples, search pass, kriging
variance, and slope of regression have been used to assist in classification.

Mineral classification strings in long section (N-S) were digitised to create
continuous classification volumes. Material within the mineralised shoots, with a drill
spacing of 20 mN x 20 mE or closer was classified as Indicated. Blocks inside the
mineralised shoots that were not Indicated but within 20 to 40 m of drilling were
classified as Inferred. The average drill spacing for the Inferred is 40 mN x 40 mE
and up to 60 mN x 60 mE.

Market Announcement | Page 60 of 78


Sub-Inferred blocks exist at depth where drill spacing increases. These are not
included in the reported Mineral Resource Estimate and the areas at depth are
future exploration targets.
Audits or reviews
No independent audits or reviews of the February 2022 Mineral Resource estimate
have been conducted.
Discussion of
relative accuracy/
confidence

This is addressed in the relevant paragraph on Classification above.

Geological
interpretation

All available drill hole and pit mapping data was used to guide the geological
interpretation of the mineralisation.

Further drilling by FML in 2021 confirmed the mineralisation interpretation from the
June 2021 mineral resource update for CNX.

The CNX deposit mineralisation is located within the steeply southwest dipping and
northwest striking Three Mile Hill Meta-gabbro. The Three Mile Hill Gabbro is a
layered sill which includes a differentiated coarse grained granophyric quartz-
hornblende granodiorite unit locally called “G2 Gabbro”.

The bulk of the quartz stockwork hosted mineralisation is developed within the G2
Gabbro.

Bulk style stockwork mineralisation is hosted by networks of 1 to +5cm quartz veins
with general very shallow dips to the south-west.

Higher grade, generally 5 to +30cm laminated quartz veins, dip moderately to the
south-east.

Together the two orientations of quartz vein stockworks have developed a bulk-style,
tabular ore body at CNX Main within the G2 Gabbro. This mineralisation extends
under the Great Eastern Highway and has been confirmed by drilling to be contiguous
with the Three Mile Hill OP 190m to the south-east.

Market Announcement | Page 62 of 78


Au grade envelopes were constructed in Seequent Leapfrog Geo software, using the
two sets of quartz vein orientations described above and the overall gabbro sill
geometry (striking northwest with a sub-vertical dip) as structural trends.

The economic compositing function in Leapfrog was used to generate the grade shells
– a cut-off of 0.1 ppm Au was used to separate the mineralised and non-mineralised
material. The composites were to 4 m downhole, with maximum allowable internal
dilution of 2 m.

The final Au grade shells were constrained to within the G2 gabbro sill.
Dimensions
The CNX – Three Mile Hill trend strikes NW – SE over 1.6km

The reported CNX resource has been truncated using the Great Eastern Highway as
a divide and only the northern portion of the resource is reported.

The CNX mineralisation has been modelled over 800m strike length, the lodes have
been interpreted from near surface to approximately 250m below surface to the
175mRL (deeper mineralisation.

Mineralisation averages 35-50m width over the strike length of the sill currently
defined by drilling
Estimation and
modelling
techniques

Estimation of the mineral resource was by the non-linear method Localised Uniform
Conditioning (LUC) using Isatis software.

The LUC estimation process was as follows:

Drill hole data was selected within mineralised domains and composited to 1m
downhole intervals in Datamine software – 1m is the dominant raw sampling interval.

The composited data was imported into Isatis software for statistical and geostatistical
analysis.

Variography was done on data transformed to normal scores, and the variogram
models were back-transformed to original units. The Gaussian anamorphosis used
for the normal scores transform was also subsequently used for the discrete Gaussian
change of support model required for Uniform Conditioning. Variography was
performed for single mineralised domain – oxidised was combined with the
transitional/fresh rock as the oxidation later is very thin, with few samples..

The back-transformed variogram model had a high nugget effect (~70% of total sill),
with a range of 30 m.

Estimation (via Ordinary Kriging) was into block model that was a non-rotated model
in MGA94 grid, with a panel block size of 20 mE x 20 mN x 5 mRL – this is about the
average drill spacing in the deposit

A ‘distance limited threshold’ technique was used where uncapped data was used
within 10 m of the extreme values, but a capping of 15 ppm was used beyond this
This cap was based on inflections and discontinuities in the histograms and log-
probability plots.

The ellipsoid search parameters were longer than the variogram ranges in order to
estimate at the edges of the domain (100 m x 100 m x 30 m). A minimum of 10 and
maximum of 20 samples per panel estimate was used, which effectively reduces the
search ellipse in the well drilled areas to two or three drilling lines (~20 m to 40 m).

The grade distribution for the panels was into Selective Mining Units (SMU) block of
5 mE x 5 mN x 2.5 mRL (32 SMUs per panel) via the Uniform Conditioning (UC)
technique.

The UC process applies a Change of Support correction (discrete Gaussian model)
based on the composite sample distribution and variogram model, conditioned to the
Panel grade estimate, to predict the likely grade tonnage distribution at the SMU
selectivity.

The Localising step was then run, and the resulting SMU model was exported from
Isatis to Datamine, with statistical validation to ensure consistency between software
packages.

Estimates of Au grades were validated against the composited drill hole data by
extensive visual checking in cross-section,plan and on screen in 3D, by global

comparisons of input data and model, and by semi-local statistical methods (swath
plots). All methods showed satisfactory results.
Moisture
Tonnages are estimated on a dry basis.
Cut-off parameters
The Resources for CNX have been reported above a 0.5g/t cut-off for open pit above
200mRL (~230m depth). This represents a reduction in reporting cut off grade from
0.7 g/t to 0.5g/t compared to June 2021. This change has been made as:

the bulk style mineralisation is very consistent above 0.5g/t and,

0.5 g/t is above the economic cut off expected for this style of orebody based on
the 2020 PFS Update for Coolgardie open pits.
Mining factors or
assumptions

The CNX deposit would be mined by open-cut methods. Pit optimisations using
preliminary wall angles, PFS inputs and the updated 2021 resource have been run
during June -September 2021 indicating potential for open pit extraction to 200m
depth.

New drilling reported in this announcement has extended significant mineralisation to
at least 230m depth that can now be assessed for pit optimisation and design

Geotech for CNX has been developed to feasibility level and indicates that the wall
rock for the CNX pit design is competent and support moderately steep wall angles
and thereby expanded pit optimisation/economic pit designs

The CNX mineralisation is largely intact with only a very small trial pit mined previously
in 1991.

The width of mineralisation from surface and overall steep mineralised sill geometry
supports extended pit optimisation and designs.
Metallurgical
factors or
assumptions

Historic mining at CNX has focussed on the alluvial and oxide portion of the mineral
resource.

Pre 1990’s limited metallurgical test work indicates encouraging recoveries from oxide
samples.

FML conducted metallurgical test work on three composite/representative fresh rock
CNX samples collected in April/May 2021 with results received in August 2021. The
Metallurgical testwork further confirmed high gravity gold recoveries indicated by
historic sampling and very high leach recoveries with limited reagent consumption

A trial pit was excavated at CNX by Goldfan in 1991 using a 1 g/t cut off. Reported
recovered gold for the trial mining exercise is 196kt @ 1.86g/t for 11,720 ounces.
Reporting the November 2021 CNX resource within the trial pit generated 278kt @
1.7g/t for 15,000 ounces above a 1g/t cut-off.
CNX is along strike of the Three Mile Hill open pit and part of the same system. Three
Mile Hill OP has historical production of 4.2Mt at a grade of 2.4g/t Au for 324,116
ounces.
Environmental
factors or
assumptions

The CNX deposit occurs within an area of significant previous ground disturbance
including:

the existing 270m strike and 30m deep 1991 CNX pit,

large scale alluvial/elluvial washing plants,

shafts/ trenches.

the deposit is located just 1.25km north of the Three Mile Hill ROM pad.

The flora a fauna in the CNX area was assessed in 2013 as part of a mine proposal
developed at that time. No significant habitats were identified at that time.

The CNX Flora & Fauna survey will be updated in Spring 2021

The southern margin of the reported Mineral Resource has been truncated 97m north
of great Eastern Highway which is seen as a reasonable break between what is
considered CNX to the northwest and Three Mile Hill Mineral Resource (not being
reported here) to the southeast.
Bulk density
Density values were assigned based on weathering profile. CNX has a very shallow
weathering profile and the bulk of the deposit occurs in Fresh Rock. The diamond
core from the 2020 and 2021 drill campaigns were used for water immersion

Market Announcement | Page 64 of 78

technique density test work. Averages from the extensive testing were applied based
on updated weathering surfaces.

A value of 1.85 t/m3 was applied to oxide blocks, 2.70 t/m3 was applied to transitional
material blocks and a value of 2.99 t/m3 applied to Fresh Rock.

Follow up down hole in situ density logging was completed in 2021 to validate the
large water immersion bulk density dataset. The down hole data indicates the
currently assigned fresh rock bulk density values may be ~10% conservative.
Classification
Resources have been classified as Measured, Indicated and Inferred based mainly
on geological confidence in the geometry and continuity of the mineralisation and
close spaced (20m x 10m) drilling across the bulk of the deposit. In addition, various
estimation output parameters such as number of samples, kriging variance, and slope
of regression for the various kriging runs have been used to assist in classification.

The block model, drilling data and geological wireframes were loaded and mineral
classification wireframe solids were created. Material within the mineralised domain,
with recent (2020 / 2021) FML drilling and with a drill spacing of 20 mN x 10 mE or
closer was classified as Measured. The Indicated wireframe is outside the Measured
area, and encapsulates areas where drilling is at 20 mN x 20 mE. Blocks inside the
mineralised domain, that were not Indicated or better but supported by FML drilling
were classified as Inferred.

Sub-Inferred blocks exist at depth where drill spacing increases and south of the
Highway exclusion zone. These are not included in the reported Mineral Resource
Estimate and the areas at depth are future exploration targets.
Audits or reviews
No independent audits or reviews of the November 2021 mineral resource estimate
have been conducted.
Discussion of
relative accuracy/
confidence

This is addressed in the relevant paragraph on Classification above.

The Mineral Resource relates to global tonnage and grade estimates.

The 1991 trial pit targeted +2 g/t mineralisation at CNX using a 1 g/t cut off. Actual
mined material was 36% above the targeted diluted ore with ounces up 42%. Detailed
mining reports are yet to be located in the mine archives to cross reference planned
pit design vs actual mined pit. As such at this stage we are unable to validate if the
difference between the pre mining resource estimate and actual mining was down to
problems with resource estimation or simply that a larger pit was mined as a result of
strong results.

The FML resource within the trial pit is of a similar grade when cut at 1 g/t to that
reported post 1991 mining. However, the November 2021 resource reports more
tonnes and ounces than were mined in 1992. This difference is likely due to selective
mining during the 1991 trial mining exercise given the pre mining resource estimate
appears to have targeted mineralisation exceeding 2 g/t.

Database integrity
Data was geologically logged electronically; collar and downhole surveys were
also received electronically as was the laboratory analysis results. These
electronic files were loaded into an acQuire database by either consultants
rOREdata or the company in-house Database Administrator. Data was routinely
extracted to Microsoft Access during the drilling program for validation by the
geologist in charge of the project.

FML’s database is a Microsoft SQL Server database (acQuire), which is case
sensitive, relational, and normalised to the Third Normal Form. As a result of
normalisation, the following data integrity categories exist:

Entity Integrity: no duplicate rows in a table, eliminated redundancy and chance
of error.

Domain Integrity: Enforces valid entries for a given column by restricting the type,
the format, or a range of values.

Referential Integrity: Rows cannot be deleted which are used by other records.

User-Defined Integrity: business rules enforced by acQuire and validation codes
set up by FML.

Additionally, in-house validation scripts are routinely run in acQuire on FML’s
database and they include the following checks:

Missing collar information

Missing logging, sampling, downhole survey data and hole diameter

Overlapping intervals in geological logging, sampling, down hole surveys
o
Checks for character data in numeric fields

Data extracted from the database were validated visually in GEOVIA Surpac
software and ARANZ Geo Leapfrog software. Also, when loading the data any
errors regarding missing values and overlaps are highlighted.

Geological
interpretation

All available drill hole and historic mining data was used to guide the geological
interpretation of the mineralisation.

Historic underground works at Bonnie Vale have focused on extracting
mineralised quartz reefs dipping at a 40°-45° angle.

This current interpretation of an un-excavated quartz reef at Bonnie Vale also
supports mineralised quartz veins dipping at 40°-45°.

The mineralised geological interpretation was digitized in GEOVIA Surpac
software on a section by section basis. An approximate 0.5g/t cut-off was used,
infrequently sub 0.5g/t samples (logged as quartz veining) included for continuity.

Minor deviation only of the lode geometry was noticed between drill holes along
strike and down-dip.

Minor lodes with less continuity and sample numbers were also interpreted.

Modelling of host rock and surrounding geology units in Seequent Leapfrog Geo
implicit modelling software was used to guide the mineralisation interpretation with
mineralised lodes confined to the Granodiorite.
Dimensions
The main Quarry Reef lode extends east south east over a strike length of 500m
and extends from about a depth of 70m below surface to approximately 550m
below surface. The thickness of the main Quarry Reef lode varies from 2m to
approximately 10m, with an average thickness of 4m.

Market Announcement | Page 66 of 78

Criteria Commentary
Estimation and
modelling
techniques

Within the main mineralised lode, a ‘core’ domain of higher Au values closely
associated with the quartz veining was interpreted. The boundary between the
high-grade core and surrounding main mineralisation envelope was considered a
hard boundary and no samples were shared between the two domains. The use
of these domains controlled the limit of the high gold values encountered at
Bonnie Vale.

Only RC and Diamond holes were used in the Estimation. In total 61 RC holes, 1
Diamond and 16 RC pre-collar with diamond tail holes (RC/DD) were used.

The drill hole samples were composited to 1m within each domain. This is the
dominant sampling interval.

Composited assay values of each domain were exported to a text file (.csv) and
imported into Snowden Supervisor and Geovariances Isatis software for
geostatistical analysis.

A review of histograms, probability plots and mean/variance plots for each
domain revealed some outlier sample values.

Top capping of higher Au values within each domain was carried out with Au
values above the cut-off grade reset to the cut-off grade.

For the main core lode, a top cap of 40g/t was applied, while 15g/t was used for
the surrounding domain. Different caps were used for the other minor lodes.

Directional variograms were modelled on the main Quarry Reef lode, without the
higher-grade core samples. A Normal Scores transformation was applied to the
data set for the surrounding to obtain variograms that could be modelled. A back-
transformation was applied before exporting the variograms in a Surpac readable
format. This variogram was also used for the minor lode domains, with minor
orientation differences as required. For the core high-grade domain, the
variogram was modelled in Isatis on capped but non-transformed data.

GEOVIA Surpac Software was used for the estimation. An Ordinary Kriging (OK)
technique was selected using the variograms modelled in Supervisor/Isatis. Each
domain was estimated separately using only its own sample values. No samples
were shared between domains (hard boundaries).

Minimum (10) and maximum (24) sample numbers were selected based on a
Kriging Neighbourhood analysis in Supervisor.

An elliptical search was used based on range of the Variograms (see table
below).

Three search passes were run in order to fill the majority of the block model with
estimated Au values.

Block sizes for the model were 10m in Y, 10m in X and 5m in Z direction. Sub
celling of the parent blocks was permitted to 2.5m in the Y direction, 2.5m in the
X direction and 1.25m in the Z direction. Sub-blocking was used to best fill the
wireframes and inherit the grade of the parent block. The block model was
rotated 450 about the Y axis to orientate the blocks to better fill the NW trend of
the mineralisation.

Block size is approximately ½ of the average drill hole spacing.

The estimate was validated by a number of methods. An initial visual review was
done by comparing estimated blocks and raw drill holes.

Market Announcement | Page 67 of 78

Criteria Commentary

Tonnage weighted mean grades were compared for all lodes with the raw and
top-capped drill hole values. There were no major differences.

Swath plots of drill hole values and estimated Au grades by northing, easting and
RL were done for the core and surrounding main and showed that the estimated
grades honoured the trend of the drilling data.

Historic mine production from Bonnie Vale was recorded as an average gold
grade of 16.2 g/t, which is very close to the estimated grade of the high-grade
core lode for this estimate (16.6 g/t Au).
Moisture
Tonnages are estimated on a dry basis.
Cut-off parameters
The Resources for Bonnie Vale have been reported above a 1.5g/t cut-off. This is
based on a gold price of AUD $2,200/oz.

Operating costs considered include underground mining, transport to and
processing at FML’s Three Mile Hill processing plant (10km away) and
administration.

Operating costs are based on the results of a Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS)
completed by consultants Mining One in 2017, ASX release: Coolgardie PFS
Summary and Ore Reserve Upgrade, 13 October 2017.
Mining factors or
assumptions

The PFS assessed a range of mining methods and proposed the Quarry Reef at
Bonnie Vale being underground mined from a decline access using open stoping
with cemented rock fill.
Metallurgical
factors or
assumptions

One sample (BONC055, 140-141m. Grade: 9.66 g/t) was sent to ALS Metallurgy
for gravity/cyanide leaching test. The results show that the gravity gold recovery
was high, at ~68%., overall gold extraction was very high, at >99%, with a final
leach tail grade of only 0.05 g/t Au.
Environmental
factors or
assumptions

The Quarry Reef occurs within the historic Bonnie Vale mining centre with
previous ground disturbances including waste dumps and milling
residues/tailings.

The PFS Environmental assumptions included the mine plan utilising all waste
generated as mine fill.

A closure plan and fund exist for the mine.

The Three Mile Hill Processing Plant is currently on care and maintenance but
has all necessary tailing facilities etc. that would allow for a rapid restart of the
plant.
Bulk density
A bulk density of 2.65 t/m3 was used for the mineralised lodes. Previously the
laminated quartz veins were assigned an overly conservative value of 2.6 t/m3
This was an undercall compared to the database of measurements. A value of
2.6 t/m3 would be expected for a pure quartz vein. However, Quarry Lode
mineralisation is hosted by laminated veins that include slivers of altered wall
rock and the increase in density is warranted.

Footwall tonalite/granodiorite density was also updated to 2.65 t/m3

Hanging wall Ultramafic was assigned a bulk density of 2.80 t/m3.

The water immersion technique was used for these determinations on half cut
diamond core
Classification
Resources have been classified as either Indicated or Inferred based mainly on
geological confidence in the geometry and continuity of the lodes. In addition,
various estimation output parameters such as number of samples, search pass,
kriging variance, and slope of regression have been used to assist in
classification.

Significantportions of the core and surrounding main lodes which were estimated

Criteria Commentary
in the first search pass were classified as Indicated. In addition, one of the minor
lodes that was very close to the main lode (Domain 4) and was supported by
ample drilling was classified as Indicated.

The remainder of the core and main lodes were classified Inferred, as were some
of the minor lodes with good continuity and numerous drill intercepts. Smaller
domains based on a single drill hole intercept data or filled on the second or third
search pass were assigned a ‘not classified’ code and are not included in the
reported mineral resource estimate.
Audits or reviews
Previous mineral resources released for Bonnie Vale have been reviewed by QG
Australia including reviewed/critiqued FML’s work on the geological interpretation,
assay QAQC information, estimation methodology and parameters, and estimate
validation.

The Mineral Resource relates to global tonnage and grade estimates

Bonnie Vale has historic production from 1894 to 1911 with recorded production
figures of 176,883oz at an average grade of 16.2 g/t, the grade matches well with
this Mineral Resource estimate of the high-grade core (16.6 g/t Au).

Open Pit Ore Reserves

Criteria Commentary
Mineral Resource
Estimate for
conversion to Ore
Reserves

Mineral Resource estimates were produced by FML for each of the three deposits
included in the 2022 Coolgardie Open Pit Reserves. Details of the resources
including Table 1 sections 1 – 3 can be accessed in the following ASX
Announcements:

“_Measured Growth at the Greenfields Open Pit” Dated 5/08/2022

Brilliant South Mineral Resource Grows 29%” Dated 23/02/2022

“CNX Mineral Resource Update” Dated 24/11/2021

“The block models for each deposit were the basis of the Mineral Resources_
reporting and were used to develop the Ore Reserve estimate. The block models
included fields to characterise blocks by resource category and discriminate mine
depleted parts of the deposits. For the purpose of the Ore Reserve estimate only
indicated and measured resource categories were considered. In particular,
inferred category blocks were assigned a grade of 0.00 g/t Au for selecting
minable parts of the Mineral Resource in conjunction with maintaining 0.00 g/t Au
grade for all blocks characterised as unclassified material. This ensured that
Inferred material did not feature in the assessment of economic minability of the
Mineral Resource.

Conversion of the Mineral Resource to an Ore Reserve was on the basis of a
viable mine plan and engineering design interrogating the relevant resource
model

Those parts of the Mineral Resource that were within proposed mine design were
used as the basis for determining the Ore Reserve. As such the Ore Reserve
estimate is a subset of the total Mineral Resource and not an addition to the total
Mineral Resource.
Site visits
Alex Aaltonen, the Competent Person for Sections 1 and 2 of Table 1 is FML’s
General Manager of Exploration and Geology, conducts regular site visits.

Hannah Kosovich, the Competent Person for Section 3 of Table 1 for the
Greenfields deposit is FML’s Resource Geologist and has conducted site visits in
the past.

Mike Job , the Competent Person for Section 3 of Table 1 for the Brilliant and
CNX Deposits works for Cube Consulting and has conducted site visits in the
past.

Gary McCrae of Minecomp Pty and the Competent Person for Section 4 Table 1
of Coolgardie Gold Project Ore Reserve conducted site visits in early and mid
2022. The site visit did not reveal any matters that may materially affect the ability
to declare an Ore Reserve.
Study status
An updated PFS appropriate to the deposit types, mining methods and scale has
been completed for the Greenfield, Brilliant South and CNX deposits.

Greenfields and Brilliant open pits were included in earlier 2017 PFS and follow
up 2020 PFS Update.

The Ore Reserve leverages on the work of both external consultants and in-house
knowledge to a determine a mine plan which is both technically achievable and
economically viable

The 2022 Ore Reserve Estimate has been completed to a Pre-Feasibility level of
confidence (+/- 25% accuracy)

Detailed open pit mine designs have been completed.

Project costs and parameters were either supplied by various
consulting/contracting companies or supplied by Focus.

Market Announcement | Page 70 of 78

Cut off parameters
Varying economic cut-off grades were applied according to weathering domain for
each deposit. These diluted gold cut-off grades ranged from 0.59g/t to 0.80g/t
depending on location and weathering domain.

The inputs used to estimate the revenue per gram of gold produced and ultimately
the cut-off grade were:-
Gold Price: A$2,200/oz
2.5% WA State Royalty
Refining Charges

The cost inputs used to calculate the total operating costs per tonne of ore
processed included:
Grade Control
Ore Haulage
Ore Processing
Ore/Waste Mining Cost Differentials

Other inputs used to determine the cut-off grade included:
Processing Recovery
Mining Dilution

The economic cut-off grades were calculated using the formula:
𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 × 𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬
(𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 × (𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞−𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐬𝐭)
Mining factors or
assumptions

The Mineral Resource models were factored to generate a diluted Ore Reserve
during the optimisation process.

Whittle software was utilised for the optimisation analysis of the Greenfields, CNX
and Brilliant gold deposits.

Detailed, practical and workable open pit mine designs based upon the results of
the optimisation analysis have been completed for each of the deposits. These
designs formed the basis for the Ore Reserve estimate.

External geotechnical reports formed the basis for the pit slope inputs for each of
the deposits

Mining dilution was applied as follows:-
. Greenfields 20% at 0.00g/t regardless of regolith
.CNX 5% at 0.00g/t regardless of regolith
Brilliant Oxide – 10% at 0.00g/t
Transitional – 15% at 0.00g/t
Fresh – 20% at 0.00g/t

A 95% mining recovery factor was used regardless of deposit and weathering
domain.

The pit designs incorporated allowances for minimum mining widths and were
deemed practical and workable.

Technical work and data consolidation was performed by Mr Gary McCrae of
Minecomp Pty Ltd.

In line with the findings of the 2020 PFS, open pit mining was considered to be
the most appropriate method for mining the Greenfields, CNX and Brilliant South
Mineral Resources. Further studies may assess the viability of the resource
beneath the proposed pit however the current Reserve estimate does not
consider this possibility.

A standard 90t dump truck fleet and matching excavator pairing was selected to
be utilised for the material movement requirements throughout the life of the
project. Standard ancillary machinery – grader, dozer and water cart round out the
mining fleet.

Market Announcement | Page 71 of 78


Block models were provided with appropriate resource categories’ and grade
distribution. It was assumed that the model was a fair and reasonable
representation of the resource.

A nominal minimum mining width of 20m was used in the assessment.

Blocks classified as inferred in the resource model were given a zero grade to
ensure that the inferred material was not a determinant in the Reserve estimate.

Minimal infrastructure will be required given that the resources have been
previously mined and are in close proximity to the Three Mile Hill processing
plant, administration buildings and the town of Coolgardie itself.
Metallurgical factors
or assumptions

FML owns the Three Mile Hill Mill (Care and Maintenance Status) that has
previously successfully treated a range of ores from Coolgardie deposits.

FML have completed detailed CAPEX and OPEX estimated to refurbish this Mill
to 1.2Mtpa capacity. These estimated have been independently verified by YEM
who completed a refurbishment scope of work and cost estimate in March 2022.

Metallurgical testwork has been completed for each of the deposits and included
in open pit Reserve Estimation:

Greenfields – New representative metallurgical testwork has returned average
gravity gold recovery of 70.5% and overall gold recovery of 93.65%.

CNX – New representative metallurgical testwork has returned average gravity
gold recovery of 74.6% and overall gold recovery of 94.9%.

Brilliant South –11 metallurgical samples and historic mill performance provides
indicative processing recovery of 95.5%. Four new representative metallurgical
samples are undergoing testwork with results expected in the September Quarter
2022.

For the purposes of open pit Ore Reserve Estimation mill process recovery for all
open pits has been set at 92%.
Environmental
All three open pits are located on mine licenses. Furthermore, each site is
located in the vicinity of historic mine infrastructure including accesses, waste
dumps, mine offices.

Waste dump designs have been advanced for each of the investigated open pits.

Additional base line studies including: waste material classification, flora, fauna,
hydrogeological studies and heritage surveys have all been advanced in order to
progress mine approvals. The Greenfield open pit mine proposal was approved
in June 2022.

MON notification has been completed to DMIRS in June 2022 and will be active
from 3rd August 2022

The schedule requires expansion of the Three Mile Tails Facility. FML already
have approval for the 3rd lift to this tails facility. Detailed geotechnical and
engineering works have already been completed to advance this work during the
June 2022 quarter.

The conversion of the Greenfields open pit to an in pit TSF will require additional
approvals. Engineering and design work to enable conversion of the mined pit to
an in pit TSF has been advanced in July 2022. The proposed site is surrounded
on the north East and south west sides by existing TSF’s all of which have been
extended above natural surface level.

It is expected that there will be no serious conditions or impediments to mining
any of the three open pits.
Infrastructure
The mine plan properly considers the infrastructure requirements for the proposed
mining.

The current Three Mile Hill plant is on care and maintenance. The plant requires 9
months of refurbishment (including supply of long lead time items) to be
refurbished to 1.2Mtpa capacity.

The refurbishment schedule and budget are being refined via early contractor
involvement and investigation with MACA - Interquip.

Market Announcement | Page 72 of 78

Costs
Capital costs have been estimated on the basis of budget quotes from suppliers
and benchmarking similar operations.

Opex costs have been estimated on the basis of budget quotes and
benchmarking.

Mill Capex and OPEX was supplied by FML who have completed detailed review
of plant performance and modelling. Mill CAPEX and OPEX is being finalised to
develop an EPC refurbishment contract August 2022.

Mining operating costs were estimated by Gary McCrae of Minecomp Pty Ltd and
have been derived from cost data held in Minecomp cost databases.

No inflation or escalation was assumed in the modelling

No allowances were made for the content of deleterious elements beyond what is
currently understood.

The study was assessed Australian dollars and is somewhat insensitive to
exchange rate fluctuations. For those costs depending on exchange rates
published rates at the time of the study were used.

Transportation charges for the gold and further refining charges have not been
included as they are not considered significant.

A 2.5% royalty is applicable; however, a rate of 3% has been used to account for
further administrative costs.
Revenue factors
The head grade is derived from the Mineral Resource and Modifying factors as
described above.

Revenue calculations were based upon detailed mine plans which incorporated
provisions for mining dilution and ore loss.

It is assumed that gold doré will be sold at spot price to the Perth Mint, Western
Australia.

A gold price of A $2,200/oz has been used for the Ore Reserve estimation. This
price is consistent with medium term projections from reliable analysist and is
significantly below the current gold price. FML used the Consensus Economics
forecast for setting the gold price for the 2020 Coolgardie PFS and 2021 Laverton
PFS. The Consensus Economics median 5 year forecast price in A $ is higher
than the price used in the 2022 Coolgardie Ore Reserve Estimation.
Market Assessment
Gold is readily saleable and requires no specific marketing or sales contract.

Gold is a precious metal and thus subject to price fluctuations due principally to
market sentiment.

Gold doré will be sold to the Perth Mint, Western Australia as it is produced.

There are no known major gold producers expected to influence the supply of
gold over the period of the project.

The gold price in Australian dollars has held sustained gains in recent years.

The 2022 Coolgardie Ore Reserve Estimation uses a fixed price forecast over the
life of mine. The current long-term forecast price indicates that a higher metal
price may be achieved over the life of the mine.
Economic
All resources included have positive NPV’s.
Social
FML has been and continues to be a significant contributor to the Coolgardie and
Kalgoorlie Shires. Furthermore, when in production FML contributed significantly
to community projects including the annual Coolgardie Day Festival. FML
expects future employment opportunities for the Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie
communities would be welcomed.

All proposed mining and Infrastructure areas lie within granted mining leases.

There are two competing Native Title claims in the study area and over the
Greenfields, CNX and Brilliant South prospect areas.

No Native Title claims have progressed to determined status
Other
Detailed geotechnical works have been conducted at all open pits since the 2020

Market Announcement | Page 73 of 78

Coolgardie PFS update in order to ensure open pit ore reserves include more
refined design parameters vs the 2020 Coolgardie PFS.

The hydrogeology at each pit has been reviewed with piezo holes installed and a
hydrogeology model completed. Additional studies will be underway in the
remainder of 2022.

Blasting studies have been advanced for the Greenfields and CNX deposits to
feed into further mining and ore loss studies

The use of Greenfields pit as a tailing facility will need approval. However, given
its location and the fact that this approach has been utilised in an adjacent pit, this
approval is not seen as a material risk.

All the resources and proposed mining activity is located on mining leases held by
FML.

There is a long history of mining evidenced at each of the deposits. There is no
reason to believe that a license to operate will not be granted.
Classification
The Proved Ore Reserve has been derived entirely from Measured Mineral
Resource.

The Probable Ore Reserve has been derived entirely from Indicated Mineral
Resource.

46% of the open pit Ore Resources are classified as Proved.

It is the Competent Person’s view that the methods used for the purpose of Ore
Reserve estimation provide a fair and reasonable estimate of the mineable parts
of the Mineral Resources as it is currently understood.
Audits and Reviews
No external audit has been completed to date on the current open pit Ore
Reserve estimate.

Focus and Minecomp have completed an internal review of this open pit Ore
Reserve estimate.
Discussion of relative
accuracy/ confidence

The level of study carried out as part of this Ore Reserve estimation is to a Pre-
Feasibility Study level (+/-25%). The relative accuracy of the estimate is reflected
in the reporting of the Ore Reserves as per the guidelines re: modifying factors,
study levels and Competent Persons contained in the JORC 2012 Code.

There is a degree of uncertainty associated with geological estimates. The Reserve
classifications reflect the levels of geological confidence in the estimates.

There is a degree of uncertainty regarding estimates with regards to the impacts of
natural phenomena including geotechnical assumptions, hydrological assumptions,
and the modifying mining factors, commensurate with the level of study. The
Competent Person is satisfied that the analysis used to generate the modifying
factors is appropriate, and that a suitable margin exists under current market
conditions to allow for the Ore Reserve estimate to remain economically viable
despite reasonably foreseeable negative modifying factor results.

There is a degree of uncertainty regarding estimates of commodity prices and
exchange rates, however the Competent Person is satisfied that the assumptions
used to determine the economic viability are reasonable based upon current and
historical data.

This statement relates to global estimates of tonnes and grade.

Sensitivity studies were carried out. Standard linear deviations were observed. The
Project is most susceptible to fluctuations in the direct revenue drivers, namely gold
price, gold grade and metallurgical recovery. Sensitivity to mining costs is less with
the Project being least sensitive to processing costs.

Underground Ore Reserves

Criteria Commentary
Mineral Resource
Estimate for
conversion to Ore
Reserves

Mineral Resource estimates were produced by FML for Bonnie Vale Underground
deposits included in the 2022 Coolgardie Reserve Update. Details of the Bonnie
Vale Underground Mineral Resource estimate are included Table 1 sections 1 - 3
and can also be accessed in the following ASX Announcement:

“Bonnie Vale Mineral Resource Update” Dated 2/09/2020

The block models for the Bonnie Vale underground deposit is the basis of the
Mineral Resources reporting and were used to develop the underground Ore
Reserve estimate. The block model included fields to characterise blocks by
resource category. For the purpose of the Bonnie Vale Underground Ore
Reserve estimate only indicated and measured resource categories were
considered.

In particular, inferred category blocks were assigned a grade of 0.00 g/t Au for
selecting minable parts of the Mineral Resource in conjunction with maintaining
0.00 g/t Au grade for all blocks characterised as unclassified material. This
ensured that Inferred material did not feature in the assessment of economic
minability of the Mineral Resource.

Conversion of the Mineral Resource to an Ore Reserve was on the basis of a
viable mine plan and engineering design interrogating the relevant resource
model. This work was completed to a PFS level of detail or greater (for more
detail see 2020 PFS update).

Those parts of the Mineral Resource that were within proposed mine design were
used as the basis for determining the Ore Reserve. As such the Ore Reserve
estimate is a subset of the total Mineral Resource and not an addition to the total
Mineral Resource.

Indicated Resources are converted to Probable Ore Reserves by applying
appropriate mining factors

Measured Resources are converted as Proven Ore Reserves by applying
appropriate mining factors

and is FML’s Resource Geologist and has conducted site visits in the past.

DR. Fusheng Li (AusIMM member) is the competent person for Section 4 of Table
1 – Bonnie Vale underground Ore Reserve stimation. Dr. Fusheng Li is a
consultant Mining Engineer of Focus Minerals Ltd. Dr Fusheng Li has conducted
a site visit in 2022 for the purposes of assess JORC Code 2012 Edition reporting
compliance.

The site visit did not reveal any matters that might affect the ability to declare an
Ore Reserve.

Given the nature of the site a further visit was not deemed necessary.
Study status
The Bonnie Vale Underground Ore Reserve is reported from the Work of Dr
Fusheng Li, a consultant Mining Engineer of Focus Minerals Ltd, who has further
studied the Bonnie Vale Underground project, based on the operational data
information of previous underground mining at Coolgardie and the prior Mill
Operation of Focus Minerals Ltd.

An updated detailed underground mine designs for Bonnie Vale Underground has
been completed.

The 2022 Ore Reserve has been completed to a Pre-Feasibility level of
confidence (+/- 25% accuracy).

The costs and parameters were acquired from either the similar underground
mines at Goldfields region or the Focusprevious operational underground mines

and mill.
Cut off parameters Cut off grade assessment was completed using a $2,200 (AUD) gold price. The
assessment included costs and recovery estimates for Bonnie Vale Underground.

A general cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t is applied to stopes based on an economic
assessment and market parameters

Economic analysis is carried out for each planned stope, and only stopes with a
positive return are included in the Ore Reserve estimate.

A cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t is applied to the development ore.
Mining factors or
assumptions
Bonnie Vale Resource

The Bonnie Vale Underground mine predominantly applies an open stoping with
backfill (RW or CRF). Regular rib pillar panel stopes and sill pillar panel stopes are
designed to provide for the local support and the mine's stability during the normal
mining operations. The proximity voids of these pillar stopes are backfilled with
Cemented Rock Fill (CRF) that assist the final extraction of these pillar stope panels.

The general bottom-up mining sequence is planned to extract all resource ore lodes.
The stope void is to be filled using a combination of the Cemented Rock Fill (CRF)
and Loose Waste Fill (LWF) to allow the full extraction of the designed pillar
resources.

Detailed stope designs are used where the grade control drilling are complete;
otherwise, preliminary stope designs are used.

Grade control assumptions are in line with practice developed. Development will be
routinely mapped and sampled, stope production will be regularly sampled, and
monthly mine production will be reconciled to the milled tonnes and grade.

A minimum mining width of underground development is 3.0m, and for underground
stoping a minimum width of 2.0 m.

Metallurgical factors
or assumptions

FML owns the Three Mile Hill Mill (Care and Maintenance Status) that has
previously successfully treated a range of ores from Coolgardie deposits.

FML have completed detailed CAPEX and OPEX estimated to refurbish this Mill
to 1.2Mtpa capacity. These estimated have been independently verified.

Metallurgical testwork has been completed for Bonnie Vale UG Ore.

6 Samples were considered during the 2017/2020 PFS covering a range of
representative grades from representative locations. The results have been
discounted by 3% resulting in estimatedprocessing recovery of 95.8%.

Environmental
Bonnie Vale Deposit is located on mine licenses. The site is located in the vicinity
of historic mine infrastructure including accesses, waste dumps, mine offices.

It is anticipated that all Bonnie Vale waste rock will be reused for back filling
mined voids.

Additional base line studies including: waste material classification, flora, fauna,
hydrogeological studies and heritage surveys have been advanced since the
2020 PFS in order to progress mine approvals.

The Coolgardie Ore Reserve estimate includes provision for expansion of the
Three Mile Tails Facility. FML already have approval for the 3rd lift to this tails
facility. Detailed engineering and geotechnical studies have been advanced since
the 2020 PFS in order to refine the estimate capital expenditure for expanding the
TMH TSF and delivery on additional TSF capacity to support LOM plan.

The conversion of the Greenfields open pit to an in pit TSF will require additional
approvals. However, it is noted that the proposed in pit TSF is located adjacent to
the existing 3 Mile in pit TSF and several other above ground TSF’s

It is expected that there will be no serious conditions or impediments to mining the
Bonnie Vale underground deposit.
Infrastructure
BV UG is a new mine but, it is located right next the previous operating mines and
has some infrastructure in place.

Infrastructure considered to support the Bonnie Vale Underground includes:
-
Workshops
-
Site office facility
-
Power, water, and other services distribution
-
Explosives storage

The LOM plan properly considers the infrastructure requirements for the proposed
mining.

The current Three Mile Hill plant is on care and maintenance. The plant requires 9
months of refurbishment (including supply of long lead time items) to be upgraded
to 1.2Mtpa capacity.

The refurbishment schedule and budget have been confirmed by YEM and are
being further refined via early contractor involvement and investigation.
Costs
Mining costs were based on the 1st principle calculations and bench-marked
against the adjacent operational mines.

Where available, mining costs have also been referenced against the previous
Focus Minerals Ltd mining and processing actual operation costs.

No cost allowance has been made for deleterious elements.

Revenue was based on a gold price of AUD $2,200/oz

All financial analyses and the gold price have been expressed in Australian
dollars, no direct exchange rates have been applied.

Ore has been delivered from the underground mine site to the ROM beside the
Three Mile processing plant via surface ore haulage Contractor.

Processing costs applied in the Ore Reserves estimate are based on historical
costs.

Royalties payable to the Western Australian State Government have been
considered in the Ore Reserve estimate.

Western Australian State royalty: 3.0%
Revenue factors
Revenue was based on a gold price of AUD $2,200/oz

Processing costs are based on historical performance from processing
Market Assessment
Gold is readily saleable and requires no specific marketing or sales contract.

The gold price in Australian dollars is assumed to be A$ 2,200/oz.

Economic
The Ore Reserves have been evaluated through a standard financial model. All
operating and capital costs as well as revenue factors were included in the financial
model. The process has demonstrated the estimated Ore Reserves have a positive
economic value

Sensitivity analysis of key financial and physical parameters is applied to future
_development project considerations and mine. _
Social
FML has been and continues to be a significant contributor to the Coolgardie and
Kalgoorlie Shires. Furthermore, when in production FML contributed significantly
to community projects including the annual Coolgardie Day Festival. FML
expects future employment opportunities for the Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie
communities would be welcomed.

There are two competing Native Title claims in the study area and over the
Greenfields, CNX and Brilliant South deposit areas.

No Native Title claims have progressed to determined status
Other
FML continues to advance the confidence in the Bonnie Vale Underground and
improve the level of study beyond PFS level.

Geotechnical risk is currently under review with diamond drilling programs
underway and due for completion in August 2022.

Additional Resource infill will also be completed as part of the drilling program and
enable further detailed mine studies to be completed

Some hydrogeological study has already been completed and follow up study is
now under consideration and preliminary planning.

All the resources and proposed mining activity is located on mining leases held by
FML.

There is a long history of mining evidenced at Bonnie Vale. There is no reason to
believe that a license to operate will not be granted.
Classification
The classification adopted is based on the level of confidence as set out in the 2012
JORC guidelines

Proven Ore Reserves are based on Measured Resources subject to economic
viability.

Probable Ore Reserves are based on Indicated Resources subject to economic
viability.

The estimate appropriately reflects the view of the competent person.

No Inferred Resources are included in the Ore Reserve estimate.

It is the Competent Person’s view that the methods used for the purpose of Ore
Reserve estimation provide a fair and reasonable estimate of the mineable parts
of the Mineral Resources as it is currently understood.
Audits and Reviews
The Ore Reserve estimate has been reviewed by Focus Minerals Ltd. in their peer
review process in place. but has not been subjected to an independent external
audit
Discussion of relative
accuracy/ confidence

The Ore Reserve estimate's relative accuracy is considered robust as it is based on
the knowledge gained from the mine's operational history.

No statistical procedures were carried out to quantify the accuracy of the Ore
Reserve estimate.

All estimations are considered representative on a local scale. Regular mine
reconciliations currently reported reserve to occur to validate and test the
estimates' accuracy at Bonnie Vale Underground.

Key risks to the Ore Reserve value are: gold price, grade tonnage distribution,
production rate, metallurgical recovery and mining costs. The Competent Person
believes that the required attention to detail has been given to the project such
that assumptions and estimates are based on reasonable grounds. The
economics of the project have been tested and found to be robust.
