OUTSTANDING NEW DRILLING RESULTS AT WHISTLER PAVE WAY FOR MAIDEN GOLD RESOURCE AT GIDGEE

Work to commence on a maiden Mineral Resource estimate in parallel with a new program of diamond drilling to test emerging high-grade potential at depth

HIGHLIGHTS

• Outstanding results received from in-fill and extensional Reverse Circulation drilling completed late last year at the Whistler Gold Deposit, part of Gateway’s 100%-owned Gidgee Gold Project in WA.

• Results from this drilling, which will lead to the estimation of a maiden Mineral Resource for the Whistler Deposit, include (see Appendix 1 for details):

• GRC0346 21 metres @ 5.30g/t Au from 149 metres

• GRC0354 15 metres @ 4.51g/t Au from 119 metres

• GRC0364 8 metres @ 6.04g/t Au from 190 metres

• GRC0343 6 metres @ 14.5g/t Au from 198 metres

• GRC0356 26 metres @ 2.61g/t Au from 126 metres

• GRC0355 18 metres @ 2.85g/t Au from 114 metres

• GRC0345 32 metres @ 1.21g/t Au from 125 metres

• GRC0344 8 metres @ 1.10g/t Au from 103 metres

• GRC0353 11 metres @ 1.78g/t Au from 100 metres

• The results have confirmed the quality of the mineralisation immediately below the historical Whistler Open Pit and provide strong indications of high-grade extensions at depth.

• The next phase of work at Whistler will include the estimation of a Mineral Resource, with a particular focus on immediate extensions from the base of the existing open pit, continued evaluation of the deeper potential through a program of diamond drilling, and the commencement of preliminary metallurgical and geotechnical test work.

• In addition to the main mineralised zone at Whistler, a series of new targets have been identified in both the hanging wall and footwall that will require additional evaluation.

Gateway Mining Limited (ASX: GML) ( Gateway or Company ) is pleased to report that outstanding new drilling results have been returned from the most recent program of in-fill and extensional drilling at the Whistler Gold Deposit, within its 100%-owned Gidgee Gold Project in Western Australia (Figure 1).

This drilling was designed to provide sufficient information beneath the historical open pit to undertake the estimation of a maiden Mineral Resource, and to evaluate the potential for high-grade extensions at depth. The program has been successful in achieving both objectives.

The new information has also provided important information on the structural parameters that control the plunge of the mineralisation and the positioning of the off-setting fault through the southern end of the deposit. This understanding allows for future drill targeting to be further optimized.

KEY POINTS

• The drilling has confirmed the presence and distribution of significant zones of thick, high-quality, gold mineralisation that remains open both at depth and along strike. The recent results include (Figures 2 and 3):

• GRC0346 21 metres @ 5.30g/t Au from 149 metres

• GRC0354 15 metres @ 4.51g/t Au from 119 metres

• GRC0364 8 metres @ 6.04g/t Au from 190 metres

• GRC0343 6 metres @ 14.5g/t Au from 198 metres

• GRC0356 26 metres @ 2.61g/t Au from 126 metres

• GRC0355 18 metres @ 2.85g/t Au from 114 metres

• GRC0345 32 metres @ 1.21g/t Au from 125 metres

• GRC0344 8 metres @ 1.10g/t Au from 103 metres

• GRC0353 11 metres @ 1.78g/t Au from 100 metres

• While the mineralisation remains open and is yet to be constrained, the Company has decided to undertake an interim maiden Mineral Resource estimation with a particular focus on understanding the potential to undertake a cut-back on the existing open pit. Additional drilling is expected to expand the resource at depth and along strike.

• In parallel with the resource estimation process, preliminary programs of metallurgy and geotechnical evaluation will be instigated. The resource is scheduled for completion by the end of the current quarter and drilling will also commence during this time.

• A program of diamond drilling is currently being designed to continue testing the down-dip extensions to the high-grade mineralisation. This will include a series of new holes and also the completion of drilling four diamond tails to pre-collars completed in the recent work (Figure 2). The diamond tails are required due to the depth limitations of RC drilling due to water inflows.

• A series of parallel gold mineralised structures have been identified in the hanging wall and footwall of the main mineralised zone at Whistler. Additional work is required to establish the ultimate significance of these positions, but they demonstrate the greater endowed potential of the Whistler mineralised system.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

Gateway’s Managing Director, Peter Langworthy, said the highly successful drilling program completed late last year had laid the foundations for a maiden Mineral Resource estimate at Whistler while also confirming the Company’s belief in the potential for the deposit to continue to develop into a significant high-grade gold system.

“We now have sufficient drilling data to undertake an interim Mineral Resource estimate based on the shallower portions of the deposit located immediately below the historical open pit,” he said. “This will give us an indication of the options available to us to access this mineralisation by undertaking a cut-back on the existing open pit.

“However, a key message for investors is that the mineralisation at Whistler clearly remains open, and the interim Resource is likely to be only part of an emerging story there,” he continued. “We have intersected significant widths of high-grade gold that we see extending at depth – a highly attractive target for us.

“While we work up the Resource at Whistler we are planning to commence step-out diamond drilling to test the deeper potential and determine really how big this gold system may be. Ultimately, we have a strong belief in the potential of the broader Gidgee Project to develop into a long-term gold camp.”

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 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 through the mineralised zone. The grade ranges of the CRM’s were selected based on grade populations and economic grade ranges. 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. Diamond Drilling:HQ3 and NQ core drilled in fresh rock. Core orientated and mineralised noted and marked for cutting. Sample lengths sampled on 0.5 to 2m intervals and cut to half-core sub-sample collected. Samples were analysed for Au by AAS technique with results greater than 0.5ppm Au re- assayed by Fire Assay. Assays >3g/t Au re-assayed by Screen Fire Assay. This methodology was applied to accountfor a recognized coarsegold component within the

		mineralised zones. RC Drilling:Samples were collected on 1m intervals, riffle split and 5m composite samples prepared for assay. Re-assays were undertaken on selected 1m samples. Samples sent to ALS in Perth, for 3kg pulverisation for production of homogenous 50g or 30g charge for Au fire assay, multi elements also analysed
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.).	• RC – Challenge Drilling drill rig was used. The rig consisted of a Schramm truck mounted RC rig with 1150cfm x 350psi on board compressor, an Airsearch 1800cfm x 900psi on board Booster, and a truck mounted Sullair 900cfm x 350psi auxiliary compressor. 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. Diamond Drilling:RC percussion or HQ3 pre-collars were drilled to fresh rock. NQ core drilled for remainder of holes. No details available on drilling rig specifications. RC Drilling:RC percussion drilled as pre-collars to fresh rock. No details available on drilling rig specifications.
Drill sample recovery	• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. • Measures taken to maximize 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.	• During the RC 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. From this process showed that the majority of ore grade samples had recoveries greater than 80% • 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. • At the end of each metre the bit was lifted off the bottom to separate each metre drilled. • The majority of samples were of good quality with ground water having minimal effect on sample quality or recovery. • From the collection of recovery data, no identifiable bias exists. 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. Diamond Drilling:Recoveries in fresh rock are recorded as being satisfactory and that no inherent bias has been introduced from drilling or sampling techniques. RC Drilling:There are no records available that capture information on drilling recoveries. Typically a minimum 3kg sample was provided to the laboratory for assay. Samples considered fit for purpose.
