ASX Announcement: 8 October 2018

ADDITIONAL HIGH-GRADE POTENTIAL IDENTIFIED AT GIDGEE WITHIN NEW ~1.6km LONG ROSIE-AIRPORT TREND

Historical drilling results include exceptional grades, providing another walk-up drilling target

HIGHLIGHTS

  • A strongly mineralised gold trend extending over a ~1.6km strike length has been confirmed at the RosieAirport Prospect, within Gateway’s 100%-owned Gidgee Gold Project.

  • Ongoing assessment and validation of the historical geological databases have identified this zone as a major structural corridor that includes both discrete contact mineralisation between the mafic volcanic rocks and granodiorite, and extensive stockwork mineralised zones within the granodiorite.

  • While additional work is required to fully understand the controls on the high-grade mineralisation within the broader system, key historical drilling results include (see Appendix 1 for details):

  • Contact Zone[1]

    • 6 metres @ 8.02g/t Au from 15m

    • 2 metres @ 12.8g/t Au from 82m

    • 8 metres @ 6.97g/t Au from 25m

    • 10 metres @ 9.96g/t Au from 15m

    • 15 metres @ 1.29g/t Au from 25m

    • 2 metres @ 10.9g/t Au from 45m

    • 10 metres @ 3.49g/t Au from 30m

    • 15 metres @ 1.16g/t Au from 20m

    • 12 metres @ 3.53g/t Au from 45m

Stockwork Zone[2]

  • 147 metres @ 0.42g/t Au from 21m to end of hole

  • 120 metres @ 0.42g/t Au from 80m to end of hole47 metres @ 0.70g/t Au from 76m

  • In addition to the main Rosie-Airport Prospect, a zone of supergene gold mineralisation comprising a high-grade core within a broader envelope of lower grade mineralisation has been identified at the Rosie South Prospect. The bedrock controls within the underlying granodiorite are yet to be determined and the strike extensions have not been effectively tested. Historical results include:

Rosie South – Supergene[3]

  • 20m @ 15.6g/t Au from 25m

  • 17m @ 14.7g/t Au from 30m

  • 15m @ 5.08g/t Au from 35m

Gateway Mining Limited (ASX: GML) ( Gateway or Company ) is pleased to advise that it has identified another outstanding exploration target at its 100%-owned Gidgee Gold Project in WA (Figure 1) through its systematic program of data validation, interpretation and targeting of the historical technical datasets available for the project.

This work has highlighted the potential of the ~1.6km long Rosie-Airport gold trend to host significant zones of high-grade mineralisation within a broader mineralised envelope. It has also provided an important insight into the controls of large-scale zones of stockwork related gold mineralisation hosted within the granodiorite.

The identification of the new area follows the recently announced 10km long parallel gold trend along the Eastern Margin of the Montague Granodiorite and the 4km long prospective corridor identified through the Company’s maiden drilling program, which encompasses the advanced Whistler, Montague and Caledonian prospects.

KEY POINTS

Rosie-Airport Gold Trend

The Rosie-Airport trend, which hosts the historical Rosie open pit mine, extends over a strike length of approximately 1.6km immediately south of the previously mined NE Pit (Figure 2). The trend covers a large-scale mineralised shear zone on the contact between the mafic volcanic rocks and the Montague granodiorite. Key points include (Figure 3 and 4):

  • Shallow, high-grade gold mineralisation on the contact between the mafic volcanic rocks and the granodiorite remains largely untested. Drilling is typically shallow and completed only on wide-spaced traverses over the ~1.6km strike. Historical drilling results include (see Appendix 1 and 2):

  • 6 metres @ 8.02g/t Au from 15m

  • 2 metres @ 12.8g/t Au from 82m

  • 8 metres @ 6.97g/t Au from 25m

  • 10 metres @ 9.96g/t Au from 15m

  • 15 metres @ 1.29g/t Au from 25m

  • 2 metres @ 10.9g/t Au from 45m

  • 10 metres @ 3.49g/t Au from 30m

  • 15 metres @ 1.16g/t Au from 20m

  • 12 metres @ 3.53g/t Au from 45m

2

  • Additional to the contact mineralisation, a broad zone of stockwork gold mineralisation has been defined within the adjacent granodiorite footwall. This mineralisation is interpreted to represent a vector into a potential large zone of higher grade gold. This interpretation requires validation by drilling. Historical drilling results include (see Appendix 1 and 2):

  • 147 metres @ 0.42g/t Au from 21m to end-of-hole

  • 120 metres @ 0.42g/t Au from 80m to end-of-hole47 metres @ 0.70g/t Au from 76m

Rosie South – Supergene

The Rosie South supergene gold target is located in a position within the granodiorite (Figure 2). Shallow drilling has intersected a core of thick, high-grade gold mineralisation within a broader envelope of lower grade mineralisation over a strike length of approximately 100m. The mineralised trend remains open to the north and the south and the bedrock source of the mineralisation remains to be located.

Historical drilling results include (see Appendix 1 and 2):

  • 20m @ 15.6g/t Au from 25m

  • 17m @ 14.7g/t Au from 30m

  • 15m @ 5.08g/t Au from 35m

  • 25m @ 9.06g/t Au from 25m

  • 5m @ 8.94g/t Au from 41m

  • 15m @ 2.05g/t Au from 20m

  • 11m @ 2.20g/t Au from 31m

  • 17m @ 1.24g/t Au from 25m

NEXT STEPS

As previously reported (see ASX announcement dated 18[th] September, 2018), Gateway will commence new exploration programs in October that will initially focus on resource evaluation and resource expansion activities at the Whistler Prospect, followed by a similar evaluation and expansion program at the Montague Prospect. This will position the company to estimate a maiden gold Resource for the Gidgee Project.

This recently identified and validated gold trend at Rosie-Airport, combined with the regionally significant Eastern Contact trend (see ASX Announcement dated 25[th] September 2018), provides a strong pipeline of new targets for future testing. Work to be undertaken will include geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and programs of aircore drilling with follow-up RC drilling as required.

MANAGEMENT COMMENT

Gateway’s Managing Director, Peter Langworthy, said the Company’s systematic approach to reviewing the historical data for the Gidgee Project as part of its ongoing exploration targeting strategy was continuing to yield exciting results.

“Each time we interrogate the historical database, we come up with significant new information – and new, highquality drill targets,” he said. “This shows the substantial and largely untapped exploration potential within our broader ground position at Gidgee.

“Our view is that exploration datasets are a massive asset of resource companies with the potential to host hidden new discoveries. We have been diligently working through 40 years of historical exploration data and, through a disciplined process of validation and evaluation, we are unearthing a series of new high-quality exploration opportunities”.

“While our immediate focus will be to define a maiden Resource position for the project at our high-priority Whistler and Montague Targets, we will also continue pursue the broader exploration potential within our tenements in a measured and systematic way. We are increasingly of the view that the large-scale opportunities we have identified form part of what we believe to be an emerging gold camp.”

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific
specialised 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 pulverized 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.

RC drilling - 2kg - 3kg samples were split from dry 1m bulk samples. The sample was
initially collected from the cyclone in an inline collection box with independent
upper and lower shutters. Once the metre was completed, the drill bit was lifted off
the bottom of the hole, to create a gap between samples, when the gap of air came
into the collection box the top shutter was closed off. Once the top shutter was
closed, the bottom shutter was opened, and the sample was dropped under gravity
thorough a Metzke cone splitter. Once drilling reached fresh rock a fine spray of
water was used to suppress dust and limit the loss of fines thorough the cyclone
chimney. A second 2kg-3kg sample was collected at the same time the original
sample. This sample has been stored on site. These duplicate samples have been
retained for follow up analysis and test work. The bulk sample of the main ore zone
was discharged from the cyclone directly into green bags.

The bulk sample from the waste was collected in wheelbarrows and dumped into
neat piles on the ground.

During the sample collection process, the cone split, original and duplicate calico
samples and the reject green bag samples were weighed to test for bias’s and
sample recoveries. The majority of the check work was undertaken through the
main ore zones.

Field duplicates were collected at a ratio of 1:20 through the mineralised zones and
collected at the same time as the original sample through the B chute of the cone
splitter. OREAS certified reference material (CRM) was inserted at a ratio of 1:20

DIAMOND Drilling– Core was drilled by DrillWest. Gateway staff collected the core
from the rig and took the core back to the Bibra Core yard where the core was
cleaned, reassembled and marked up with metre marks for logging by Gateway
geologists. The geologist marked up the core for sampling and the HQ and NQ core
was half cut in half using a corewise automatic core saw. Sample lengths were
dominantly 1m in length, but where geological contacts were present, the core was
sampled to this contact creating a sample less or greater than 1 metre. Minimum
sample length is 0.2m and maximum sample length is 1.2m. Duplicates were taken
by taking a separate pulp in the preparation stage at the lab at a 1:50 ratio

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.

RC drilling - 2kg - 3kg samples were split from dry 1m bulk samples. The sample was
initially collected from the cyclone in an inline collection box with independent
upper and lower shutters. Once the metre was completed, the drill bit was lifted off
the bottom of the hole, to create a gap between samples, when the gap of air came
into the collection box the top shutter was closed off. Once the top shutter was
closed, the bottom shutter was opened, and the sample was dropped under gravity
thorough a Metzke cone splitter. Once drilling reached fresh rock a fine spray of
water was used to suppress dust and limit the loss of fines thorough the cyclone
chimney. A second 2kg-3kg sample was collected at the same time the original
sample. This sample has been stored on site. These duplicate samples have been
retained for follow up analysis and test work. The bulk sample of the main ore zone
was discharged from the cyclone directly into green bags.

The bulk sample from the waste was collected in wheelbarrows and dumped into
neat piles on the ground.

During the sample collection process, the cone split, original and duplicate calico
samples and the reject green bag samples were weighed to test for bias’s and
sample recoveries. The majority of the check work was undertaken through the
main ore zones.

Field duplicates were collected at a ratio of 1:20 through the mineralised zones and
collected at the same time as the original sample through the B chute of the cone
splitter. OREAS certified reference material (CRM) was inserted at a ratio of 1:20
through the mineralised zone. The grade ranges of the CRM’s were selected based
on grade populations and economic grade ranges.

mineralized structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should
be assessed and reported if material.

Drill lines are orientated perpendicular to the perceived strike of the mineralized
structure. Drilling at Whistler intercepts mineralisation at an oblique angle to the dip
(~15deg off). The orientation of drilling is suitable for the mineralisation style and
orientation of minerlisation.
Historical Drilling:
All information referred in this report not collected in this current program has been
accessed through verifying historical company reports and/or available digital
databases.
Drilling directions at Whistler, Montague and Caledonian targets have been drilled
perpendicular to strike (90-270) and in the across dip direction in most cases.
The majority of holes have been drilled at a 60 to 90 degree dip and intersected the
mineralisation at an appropriate angle.
In some cases reverse angled holes have been completed to test for short range
controls on the gold mineralisation.
The orientation of the drilling is suitable for the mineralisation style and orientation of
the mineralisation at the Whistler, Montague and Caledonian Targets.

Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.

Calico samples are sealed into green/poly weave bags and cable tied. These are then
sealed in bulka bags and transported to the laboratory in Perth by company staff or
trusted contractors or established freight companies.
