Results

  • As reported last year, results from WCP’s drilling were very encouraging, including 22m @ 14 . 95g/t gold from an existing resource under the Whistler pit, and significant intersections in an interpreted hanging wall shoot

  • Th e r d illi ng resu lt e d i n o th er encourag ng n ersec i i t ti ons, nc u i l di ng 102 m @ 0.42g/t Au in hole WRC012 in the Rosie area, and Gateway believes there is the potential for significant sulphide gold resources in the Airport area

  • � The results of the SAM survey indicate that this method is suitable for use in the Gidgee area

  • This survey also delineated a structure striking north from the Whistler pit that warrants testing for continuation of the whistler mineralisation

  • The work completed during the year has resulted in a number of high priority drill targets being identified

==> picture [17 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

Overview

  • A virgin gold discovery by Gateway, originally intersected in RC follow up of RAB anomalies

  • Follow up RC drilling during 2007/2008 confirmed the results of earlier RC drilling

  • Aircore drilling during 2009 returned significant intersections , including 5m @ 3 . 47g/t Au in hole GAC004, and 10m @ 0.92g/t Au in GAC001(EOH)

  • Drilling problems resulted in a number of holes not penetrating the gossans

  • Gold has been intersected in widely spaced holes over a strike length of 950m to date, and a number of holes have been terminated in mineralisation due to drilling difficulties

  • L ocate d NNE o f Th e up, an C d poss ibl y on t h e same structura zone l

BUNGARRA JV/VICTORY WELL

==> picture [17 x 16] intentionally omitted <==

Overview

  • Bungarra West JV with Legend Mining over E57/709GML retains a 30% free carried interest

  • 100% GML tenements immediately to the south of the JV tenement

  • EM surveying over the area has delineated a number of anomalies

  • Rock chip sampling of gossanous/ironstone material has returned up to 377ppb Au

  • Modelling of the southernmost anomaly within the JV tenement indicated three moderate to strong conductors, with depths ranging from 30-100m

  • RAB drilling over a strong conductor within 100% GML P57/1881 failed to explain the anomaly due to lack of drilling penetration

  • It is planned to drill test these targets during the current year

Overview

  • Victory Creek gold mineralisation requiring further drilling

  • Results of work to date suggests that the Montague Granodiorite to the east of the airport area is underexplored – historically the granites have not been considered prospective for significant gold mineralisation

  • Gateway has drilled mineralisation in the granites , including Airport Central, and Bullseye with encouraging results

  • The results of holes WRC010 and WRC012 su ort the ros ectivit pp p p y

  • The Surprise Project reverted to 100% Gateway ownership following the withdrawal of Minotaur from a JV in 2008

  • Minotaur initially carried out gravity and IP surveys

  • A six hole RC drilling programme completed in 2008 , targeting IP geophysical anomalies, intersected anomalous copper, including 4m @ 0.86%

  • Deeper gravity anomalies are yet to be drill tested

  • An EM survey carried out after the drilling has also delineated a number of targets , which are as yet untested
