POSITIVE RESULTS FROM DEEP GROUND PENETRATING RADAR (DGPR) SURVEY & DATA REVIEW

Highlights:

  • Deep Ground Penetrating Radar (DGPR) and historical data review has defined significant, additional drilling targets from anomalous geophysical structures at both the Crossroads and Gemcutter prospects

  • Sub horizontal, gently dipping structures imaged with DGPR at the Gemcutter lithium prospect, which the company views as highly encouraging – never previously drilled below 10m

  • Historical data review: several shallow drill holes ended in pegmatites, with no assays submitted for lithium

  • Multiple steeply dipping faults and shear zones identified by DGPR at the Crossroads gold prospect

  • Highly anomalous historical Nickel and Cobalt (12m @ 1.1% Ni, 0.05% Co) assays reviewed at the Gemcutter prospect

Forrestania Resources Limited (ASX: FRS) ( Forrestania or the Company ), is pleased to announce the results of the DGPR campaigns at the Gemcutter lithium and Crossroads gold prospects in its Forrestania project (figure 1). Both surveys have confirmed geophysical anomalies and have provided the Company with multiple, additional, high quality drill targets.

Ultramag Geophysics Pty Ltd ( Ultramag ) was commissioned by FRS to undertake a Deep Ground Penetrating Radar ( DGPR ) survey to locate possible pegmatite structures at the Gemcutter prospect (M77/549) and to locate faulting and shear structures at the Crossroads prospect (within E77/2348). This data has been assessed by Ultramag geophysicists and Forrestania staff, concurrently with a review of the historic drilling data with encouraging results at both prospects.

Gemcutter prospect

The Gemcutter prospect (figure 2) contains the historic Gem Mine and the Giant Pegmatite. Historical assays from the Gemcutter prospect show strong lithium grades from the Giant pegmatite, including GPRC06 - 33m @ 3.2% Li2O[1] along with GP51 - 18m @ 0.27% Li2O from 50m at the Gem mine[2] .

Nickel; Cobalt targets

The Nickel and Cobalt potential of the Gemcutter prospect will also be the subject of further analysis by the Company. Assays from historic drilling in 2017 by Marindi Metals/Firefly Resources include 12m @ 1.1% Ni (including 2m @ 2.7% Ni ) and 12m @ 0.05% Co (including 2m @ 0.16% Co ) from the same interval (GPRC36 from 21-33m).

Gemcutter DGPR results

At the Gemcutter prospect, DGPR profile 0224 appears to show a gently dipping structure; this structure is located ~720m north-west of the Gem mine and ~630m from the Giant pegmatite. Given that the regional pegmatite structures seen at the Earl Grey and Bounty Lithium Deposits (located ~11km north-west and ~9km north, respectively) also display a subhorizontal structure, the company believes the results of the DGPR survey are very encouraging.

Figure 3: Profile 0224: 6435900mE, Section looking south with DGPR survey showing gently dipping structures.

In the Company’s view, these gently dipping structures haven’t previously been adequately tested, with only 10m RAB holes drilled across these structures by previous explorers, with assays not released and unable to be located. It is worth noting that the significant mineralisation seen in the north of the Gemcutter prospect at the Giant pegmatite in hole GPRC006 is from a depth of 69m; that structure was not visible in the DGPR survey, possibly due to the hyper saline sub-surface water and/or clay rich deep weathering profile.

The DGPR results were inconclusive over the Gem mine - due to safety issues with historic pits, the survey was unable to be performed over the mine area. Historic grades returned from drilling at Gem include 18m @ 0.27% Li2O from RAB hole GP51, with this and other holes ending in lithium mineralisation. This mineralisation has yet to be properly tested at depth (figure 4) and will be the focus of an upcoming drill program once approvals have been forthcoming.

Figure 4: Gem mine showing pegmatite, with historic drilling (approximate 6435300mE)

At the Earl Grey and Bounty Lithium Deposits, the economic mineralisation is seen at a greater depth than any holes drilled around the Gem mine, as such, the Company believes the Gem Mine offers another very attractive drilling target.

Crossroads Au prospect

At the Crossroads prospect, numerous steeply dipping, north-south striking faults and shear zones have been identified from the recent Ultramag DGPR survey with most untested by drilling. Encouragingly, the structures show a similar orientation to the known gold deposits in the region. Historic hole CRRC0006 returned 1m @ 15.2g/t Au and an interpreted fault structure was picked up by the DGPR survey[4] . The survey was undertaken over an interpreted granite/greenstone contact and the coarse government aeromagnetic data combined with the Ultramag DGPR shows the possibility for parallel structures throughout the survey area.

A detailed, regional aeromagnetic survey has been planned in order to further delineate the structural targets across the Crossroads prospect, this aeromagnetic survey will cover the southern portion of the Forrestania tenements. Combined with the DGPR, this survey will allow for future geochemical and drilling follow up.

POW 99721 has been approved at the Crossroads prospect for future drilling, but a further clearance permit will be required before the Company tests the anomalies. Any future drilling will await the completion of the aeromagnetic survey.

About Forrestania Resources Limited

Forrestania Resources Limited is an exploration company searching for gold, lithium, and nickel in the Forrestania, Southern Cross and Leonora regions of Western Australia. The Forrestania Project is prospective for gold, lithium and nickel and is currently the only project, within the tenement portfolio that holds a gold Mineral Resource. The Southern Cross Project is prospective for gold and lithium and the Leonora Project is prospective for gold.

The Forrestania Project is situated in the well-endowed southern Forrestania Greenstone Belt, with a tenement footprint spanning approximately 100km, north-to-south of variously metamorphosed mafic/ultramafic/volcano-sedimentary rocks host to the historic 1Moz Bounty gold deposit, emerging Kat Gap gold deposit, the operating Flying Fox, and Spotted Quoll nickel mines, and the more recently discovered Earl Grey lithium deposit.

The Southern Cross Project tenements are scattered within proximity to the town of Southern Cross and located in and around the Southern Cross Greenstone Belt, which extends along strike for approximately 300km from Mt Jackson to Hatters Hill in the south. It is the Company’s opinion that the potential for economic gold mineralisation at the Southern Cross Project has not been fully evaluated. In addition to greenstone shear-hosted gold deposits, Forrestania is targeting granite-hosted deposits. New geological models for late Archean granite-controlled shear zone/fault hosted mineralisation theorise that gold forming fluids, formed at deep crustal levels do not discriminate between lithologies

when emplaced in the upper crust. Applying this theory, Forrestania has defined seven new targets.

The Leonora Project tenements are located within the Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone Belt of the Yilgarn Craton. The Project includes one Exploration Licence and five Exploration Licence Applications, covering a total of 856.7km[2] . The tenements are predominately noncontiguous and scattered over 200km length of the greenstone belt. The southernmost tenement is approximately 15 km southeast of the town of Menzies, and the northernmost tenement is located approximately 70 km northeast of Leonora. Prior exploration over the project area has focussed on gold, diamonds, and uranium. Tenements in the Project have been variably subjected to soil sampling, stream sampling, drilling, mapping, rock chip sampling and geophysical surveys.

Priority drilling targets have been identified in both project areas and the Company is well funded to undertake effective exploration programs.

The Company has an experienced Board and management team which is focused on discovery to increase value for Shareholders.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random
chips, or specific specialized industry standard measurement
tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as
down-hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments,
etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this
would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling
was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such as where
there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g.

submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
•No samples were collected by Forrestania Resources for this announcement.
•Due to the historic nature of the sampling, it is not possible to comment on the
accuracy or quality of the assays from the drilling. However, it is part of the
Company’s overall work program to attempt to verify significant intersections and
validate historical assay accuracy by drilling programs and resampling any, and
all, existing historical drill chips that may be found during the exploration
activities.
•Sampling techniques of GP51 are unknown due to the historic nature of these
drillholes. GP51 was drilled as a RAB hole – no other details are available due to
the historic nature of this drill hole (believed to have been drilled in the 1970s).
•M77/549: For the Marindi Metals/Firefly Resources drilling: Two samples are
taken for each metre drilled using Reverse Circulation method. A bulk sample is
collected in a 600x900mm plastic bag and a 4% split using a cone splitter is also
taken in a calico bag. Sample intervals are then determined by geology and
geochemistry (portable XRF). If a single 1m sample is required then a single 4%
split is assayed, or if composite samples are required then 1m splits are
combined and assayed. If a composite sample is greater 3kg, then a 25% riffle
split is taken to composite. If further sampling is required spear samples can be
taken from the bulk samples.
•E77/2348: The Crossroads drill program comprised 8 RC drill holes. Drill
intervals that were most prospective for Au mineralisation were sampled with 1m
samples. 2m to 4m composite samples were used to test larger intervals for Au
mineralisation. A bulk sample was collected in a 600x900mm plastic bag and a
10% split using a cone splitter on the rig was also taken in a calico bag. Sample
intervals were created from the geology logs. The 10% cone split from the drill
rig was assayed for the 1m intervals. For composite samples, the 10% cone
splits were combined and spit using a 50% riffle splitter.
•Sample intervals were determined by a Marindi Metals geologist who used
geological logging data to assign sample intervals.
•Sample preparation is undertaken by a registered laboratory (ALS). Samples are
prepared by dry pulverisationto 85% passing75microns

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sampling is carried out using standard protocols and QAQC procedures as per
industry practice. Sample sizes are considered appropriate for the size of sample
material to give an accurate indication of gold mineralisation.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open- hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g.
core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails,
face-sampling bit or other type, whether core

is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).
•GP51 was drilled as a RAB hole – no other details are available due to the historic
nature of this drill hole (believed to have been drilled in the 1970s).
•For the Marindi Metals/Firefly Resources drilling: Drilling method used is Reverse
Circulation. The drill rig is a RCD250 rig with 2400CFM and 800 PSI. A 146mm
hammer was used.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and
grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential

loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
•GP51 was drilled as a RAB hole – no other details are available due to the historic
nature of this drill hole (believed to have been drilled in the 1970s).
•For the Marindi Metals/Firefly Resources drilling: An experienced RC driller from
a high standard drilling contractor are being used for this drill program. The
Drilling contractor and Marindi Metals are using industry standard techniques to
maximise sample recoveries and produce representative sample intervals during
RC drilling. The cyclone and splitter are levelled and cleaned after every 6m run,
or if there is significant movement noticed, then it is levelled after every 1m to
provide a representative split. Sample recovery is recorded for every 1m by
Marindi geologists and geotechnicians. Where sample recovery is less than
100% and the sample is assayed, recovery is noted in the assay ledger.
•Drilling to date by Marindi has had very good sample recovery No bias has
occurred during sampling.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core
(or costean, channel, etc.) photography. The total length and
percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary

For
all
sample
types,
the
nature,
quality
and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub- sampling
stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures
taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the
in-situ material collected, including for instance results for
field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whether sample
sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material

being sampled.

Sample intervals are determined by geological intervals.

Two samples are taken for each metre drilled using Reverse Circulation
method. A bulk sample is collected in a 600x900mm plastic bag and a 4% split
using a cone splitter is also taken in a calico bag.

Sample intervals are then determined by geology and geochemistry (portable
XRF). If a single 1m sample is required then a single 4% split is assayed, or if
composite samples are required then 1m splits are combined and assayed.

If a composite sample is greater 3kg, then a 25% riffle split is taken to
composite. If further sampling is required spear samples can be taken from the
bulk samples.

Selective sampling of the AC assays was taken, the details of the selection
criteria are unavailable to FRS.
Quality of assay data
and laboratory tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and model, reading
times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g.
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of
bias) and precision have beenestablished.

E77/2348: Samples were analysed by either accelerated cyanide leach using
LeachWELL assay tabs with AAS finish and a 4 hour leach (Au-AA15) or by
50g fire assay with ICP-MS finish for gold (Au- AA26).

M77/549:
Data spacing and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

M77/549:

The drill in this program has been completed along approximately
400x40m spaced drill holes. As stated in the release, Marindi do not
know the dip, strike or true width of the reported intersection. Available
data suggests the intersection may be vertical. Further drilling will be
required to confirm this. Exploration drilling at the Gem Pegmatite is
preliminary and spacing and distribution of exploration results is not
sufficient to support Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves.

Each reported assay in this release is a 2m composite. Composites are
4% cyclone splits.

GP51 was drilled as a RAB hole – no other details are available due to
the historic nature of this drill hole and drilling program (believed to have
beendrilledinthe1970s).

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary

E77/2348: Majority of the drill holes were drilled as fence lines across the
interpreted targets. Drill targets are determined using geochemical,
geophysical and geological data together with historical drilling information.
The drill spacing used is considered appropriate for the style of mineralisation
targeted.

Sample compositing has been used and varies from 2m to 4m
composites. It is used where there is a low-moderate probability of
mineralisation fromgeological interpretationofthe drillsamples.
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this
is known, considering the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed
and reported if material.

M77/549: No significant orientation based sampling bias is known at this time.

The drill holes may not necessarily be perpendicular to the orientation of
the intersected mineralisation. All reported intervals are downhole
intervals, not true widths. True widths and orientation of mineralised
bodies will be established with additional drilling.

E77/2348: No significant orientation-based sampling bias is known at this time.

The drill holes may not necessarily be perpendicular to the orientation of
the structure hosting the mineralisation. Due to the lack of drilling the
orientation of the structures is poorly understood.
All reported intervals are downhole intervals, not true widths.

•A large amount of historic data is available to Forrestania Resources and
appraisal of data is continuing.
•The majority of nickel exploration was reported on by Amax Exploration
(Aust) limited in 1975 . The sampling and appraisal of the LCT pegmatites
was most comprehensively reported on by Aztec Exploration in 1985
(Wamex ref A17582) and specifically appendix 2 of that report entitled “The
potential for pegmatite related mineralisation in the Mt Hope District Yilgarn
Goldfields, Westerns Australia” by Dr L F Betternay. Further information was
also supplied by Mr K Robinson, the operator of the Gem Rubellite mine in
the early 1980s.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

M77/549: The Gem pegmatite is one of a series of LCT pegmatites that have
intruded a thick sequence of ultramafic rocks. The extent and attitude of the
LCT units is unknown and is the subject of further exploration.

The nickel sulphide occurrence occurs in a diamond drill hole that terminated
in a dunitic sequence and is part of the eastern ultramafic belt at Forrestania.
Several significant nickel sulphide deposits are known to occur within the
eastern ultramafic belt at Forrestania.

E77/2348: drilling intersected a 400m long NW-SE trending zone
consisting of several narrow but very high-grade gold intercepts in quartz
veins with associated sulphide wall-rock alteration at shallow depths

Drill hole Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding of
the exploration results including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:

easting and northing of the drill hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole, down hole length and interception
depth

hole length

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that
the information is not Material and this exclusion does not
detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent
Personshould clearly explain why thisis the case.
•Details of all drillholes reported here can be found in the following

In
reporting
Exploration
Results,
weighting
averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g.
cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and
some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown
in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
•No individual, specific geochemical anomalies from soil sampling programs
are reported in this announcement.
Relationship
between
mineralisation widths
and intercept
lengths

These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill-
hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not
known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole
length, truewidth notknown’).
•The relationship between drilling and the LCT pegmatites is not known.
•The relationship between nickel mineralisation and drilling is not known.
•All intersections reported in this release are downhole intervals.
•True widths are not confirmed however drilling is planned perpendicular to
interpreted targets.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for any significant discovery
being reported These should include, but not be limited to a
plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional
views.
•Appropriate maps with scale are included within the body of the

•Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a geophysical technique that sends very
short pulses of electromagnetic (EM) radiation into the ground via a
transmitter (Tx), measuring the reflected energy in a receiver (Rx) to produce
subsurface images.
•9.1 line-km of DGPR data was surveyed on 25/09/2021 and processed to form
resistivity sections of the subsurface over M77/549.
•3.1 line km was surveyed on 28/09/2021 over the Crossroads prospect
E77/2348
•Data acquisition is a continuous process as the DGPR is deployed across the
land surface
•As GPR responds to changes in Dielectric Constant, Electrical Conductivity
and Electric Permittivity, it is sensitive to:
•Soil composition and stratification.
•Rock crystallinity, composition and pore space (and thus density).
•Conductivity of pore fluids and bulk rock.
•Conductive media like wet clays and salt water inhibit the propagation of GPR
signals.
•Groundwater.
•A wide range of rock mineralogy.
•Signals travel faster in water saturated rocks.
•Depending on thickness and antenna frequency, beds of unconsolidated
cobble stones and dry cracked clays can also scatter GPR signals thereby
lowering penetration depths.
•Conventional GPR can image up to 10m depth in favourable conditions (ie no
wet clays or salt water). Depth of penetration is limited by transmitter (Tx)
power and antenna design. Conventional dipole (bowtie) antennas suffer
ringing (poor ground coupling) and low bandwidth.
•DGPR uses a proprietary technology to generate very short (1-3ns), very high-
amplitude pulses that travel deeper than conventional GPR. The Tx and Rx
antenna design is also fundamentally different – a capacitively coupled, multi-
cavity resonator that is broad band and extremely sensitive. The antenna
design maximises energy transmitted into the ground and minimises noise
from airwaves. The Tx - Rx synchronisation is also achieved without cables,
offering lower noise
•The DGPR system boasts a very broad band Transmitter (1 MHz – 1GHz) and
a range of receivers. It is capable of imaging several depths simultaneously to
high accuracy. The system is versatile and configurable in real time. Different
powered transmitters are used to image different depths
