ASX Announcement: 4 November 2020

AIR-CORE DRILLING EXPANDS ACHILLES PROSPECT INTO 2.5km-LONG GOLD CORRIDOR AT GIDGEE

200m spaced air-core drilling across new area to the south of Achilles oxide target returns assays of up to 16.2g/t and defines high-order oxide and primary gold anomalies

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Recently completed air-core drilling has defined a major new gold target at the Gidgee Gold Project which is emerging as a high-priority for exploration alongside the North West Margin trend between the Montague-Boulder and Whistler deposits, where systematic RC drilling has recently been completed.

  • The new area, known as the Achilles Corridor, has extended the existing Achilles Oxide Target for a further 1.4km strike length to the immediate south of the historical Rosie Open Pit. This program of systematic air-core drilling has defined several large-scale parallel gold anomalies within this trend which remain open to the south for a further 2.4km (to GML’s tenement boundary).

  • These results now confirm the presence of significant gold mineralisation along multiple mineralised thrust structures running along the margin of and internal to the western margin of the Montague Granodiorite. Significant results from this drilling include:

  • GWAC0480: 3m @ 5.6g/t Au from 16m (BOH), including 1m @ 16.2g/t Au

  • GWAC0501: 12m @ 1.4g/t Au from 24m, including 4m @ 3.0g/t AuGWAC0386: 8m @ 1.6g/t Au from 12mGWAC0302: 4m @ 1.6g/t Au from 28mGWAC0402: 4m @ 1.4g/t Au from 8m and 5m @ 0.7g/t Au from 52m (BOH)GWAC0453: 14m @ 0.5g/t Au from 40m (BOH), including 4m @ 1.1g/t AuGWAC0553: 16m @ 0.8g/t Au from 36mGWAC0482: 4m @ 1.8g/t Au from 36mGWAC0486: 4m @ 1.0g/t Au from 24mGWAC0497: 4m @ 1.9g/t Au from 28mGWAC0567: 4m @ 2.1g/t Au from 36mGWAC0281: 16m @ 0.5g/t Au from 32m, including 4m @ 1.2g/t AuGWAC0548: 28m @ 0.6g/t Au from 32m, including 8m @ 1.1g/t Au

Within this extensive mineralised trend there are a series of historical prospects identified by Reverse Circulation (RC) and Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling that confirm the presence of exceptional zones of high-grade gold mineralisation within the granodiorite. These results include[1] :

  • GRB1231: 20m @ 15.6g/t Au from 25m

  • GRC015: 17m @ 14.7g/t Au from 30mGRB1253: 15m @ 5.1g/t Au from 35mGRB1580: 5m @ 22.2g/t Au from 37m

Gateway Mining Limited (ASX: GML) ( Gateway or Company ) is pleased to advise that it has identified a major new gold exploration opportunity within its 100%-owned 1,000km[2] Gidgee Gold Project in Western Australia after receiving the results of a systematic program of air-core drilling designed to test the immediate southern extension to the Achilles Target Area.

The air-core drilling consisted of a grid-based program, drilled to blade refusal (top of fresh rock) on a nominal 200m x 40m spacing. This program covered approximately 1.4km of strike of the southern continuation of the Achilles structural zone, where recent RC drilling by Gateway has continued to extend near-surface mineralisation north of the historical Rosie open pit.

The results from the air-core program are considered to be highly significant in the context of Gateway’s overall exploration strategy at the Gidgee Project. They have defined a series of coherent, high-order oxide and bedrock gold anomalies extending over a strike length of 1.4km, with the zone remaining open for a further 2.5km to the south beyond this new drilling, to the edge of Gateway’s tenure.

A total of 305 holes were drilled for 15,016m (see Figure 1 and Appendix 1). Samples were taken as nominal 4m composites. Drilling was designed to test the highly prospective thrust fault along the margin of the Montague Granodiorite as well as the interpreted major shear zones within the western mafic volcanic sequence that host mineralisation at the Caledonian pit and the Dandelion group of historical workings.

The strength and coherent nature of the anomalies and their position relative to significant cross-cutting structures has elevated the importance of this area as a significant exploration target at Gidgee, alongside the 1.5km long North West Margin area between the Montague-Boulder and Whistler deposit which is a priority focus for RC and diamond drilling.

KEY POINTS:

  • Air-core drilling has been successful in delineating several coherent oxide-zone anomalies that are interpreted to emanate from bedrock-hosted primary mineralisation at depth (see Figure 1). When combined with effective historical drilling, several previously recognised prospect areas – such as Airport, L.A. International and Dandelion – can now be interpreted in the context of the broader distribution of gold mineralisation across this corridor (see Figure 2).

  • An extensive oxide-zone anomaly has been defined over 1.4km of strike covering the interpreted continuation of the Achilles thrust structure. This anomaly corresponds to a >1g/t per metre (>1gm) gold intersection with a clearly defined higher grade core, particularly immediately along strike from the Rosie open pit. This anomaly includes several higher-grade results, including:

  • GWAC0302: 4m @ 1.6g/t Au from 28m

  • GWAC0402: 4m @ 1.4g/t from 8m and 5m @ 0.7g/t Au from 52m (BOH)

  • GWAC0453: 14m @ 0.5g/t Au from 40m (BOH), including 4m @ 1.1g/t AuGWAC0553: 16m @ 0.8g/t Au from 36m

  • This anomaly shows a significant change in direction and subsequent thickening to a width of approximately 400m around the historical workings known as “L.A. International”. This appears to correlate with a definite jog in the Achilles structural trend and suggests the presence of a zone of greater dilation which therefore has the potential to host an accumulation of significant gold-bearing fluids. The combination of wide, consistent gold anomalism, including significant bedrock mineralisation, with a favourable structural position significantly elevates the prospectivity of this area. A cross-section of this extensive oxide zone gold anomalism and bedrock intersections is included as Figure 3. Maximum down-hole gold results in this L.A. International area include:

  • GWAC0486: 4m @ 1.0g/t Au from 24m

  • GWAC0482: 4m @ 1.8g/t Au from 36mGWAC0480: 3m @ 5.6g/t Au from 16m (BOH), including 1m @ 16.2g/t Au

2

  • Importantly, the air-core results appear to support the theory that a splay from the Achilles shear corresponds to the historical Airport and Airport South prospects, where extensive shallow high-grade mineralisation has been identified by previous explorers (see Figure 2). Significant historical intersections include[2] :

  • GRB1231: 20m @ 15.6g/t Au from 25m

  • GRC015: 17m @ 14.7g/t Au from 30mGRB1253: 15m @ 5.1g/t Au from 35mGRB1580: 5m @ 22.2g/t Au from 37m

  • This mineralised trend can now be traced back into the main Achilles Shear structure, highlighting a significant target for deeper RC testing.

  • A discrete northwest-southeast trending anomaly proximal to the mafic-volcanic and granodiorite contact zone, which corresponds to extensive historical underground workings on the Dandelion Trend, has been defined over 800m of strike. This trend has only been sporadically tested by historical drilling, generally with single holes under the existing workings. This zone corresponds to an interpreted mafic-shear target similar to that hosting mineralisation to the north at Caledonian and Caledonian-Northeast pits. Significant air-core intersections from current drilling of this anomaly include:

GWAC0501: 12m @ 1.4g/t Au from 24m, including 4m @ 3.0g/t AuGWAC0497: 4m @ 1.9g/t Au from 28mGWAC0567: 4m @ 2.1g/t Au from 36m

  • A new, previously unrecognized mineralised structure has been identified within the granodiorite body, on the eastern extent of the recently completed air-core pattern. This anomaly appears to correspond to a diffuse northnorthwest trending structure within the intrusion, and is open off the north and south ends of the drill pattern. This structure appears to be a splay off the main Achilles Shear, and can be traced over approximately 2.5km in aeromagnetic data. Significant intersections from this structure include:

GWAC0283: 30m @ 0.3g/t Au from 12mGWAC0282: 50m @ 0.3g/t Au from 4mGWAC0281: 16m @ 0.5g/t Au from 32m, including 4m @ 1.2g/t AuGWAC0386: 8m @ 1.6g/t Au from 12mGWAC0548: 28m @ 0.6g/t Au from 32m, including 8m @ 1.1g/t Au

  • This drilling has significantly extended the known gold anomalism along the prospective Achilles Shear structure, and has allowed several historical prospect areas with existing high-grade bedrock intersections to be put into a more regional context. This shear structure remains open for a further 2.4km along strike to the south, to the edge of Gateway’s tenure. Where historical drilling has been effective along this corridor, anomalous (+1g/t Au) assay results have been returned (Figure 4).

  • These large-scale anomalies are also supported by associated bottom-of-hole (BOH) multi-element anomalism with key indicator elements, including copper, silver, arsenic and antimony. This association is a common group of pathfinder elements within the Archean gold deposits of Western Australia, lending further weight to the potential bedrock source of the gold mineralisation.

  • Follow-up RC drilling will be designed to provide deeper bedrock context on these anomalies, and to identify potential ore-grade sources to the oxide-zone gold dispersion halos.

  • Additional diamond drilling to definitively locate and orientate the controlling structures, and also identify the nature of the granodiorite intrusion phases and potential alteration assemblages, is also planned.

Field Program Update

Excellent progress continues to be made with the RC drilling program testing the north-western contact of the Montague Granodiorite, the “North West Margin” area, as well as in-filling the high-grade shoots at MontagueBoulder.

This drilling has been ongoing since mid-September, with above-expected drill production. As such, the program is forecast to be completed slightly earlier than expected, in the second half of November 2020. Unfortunately, samples from the RC program have been caught up in the current WA industry-wide surge in samples submitted to commercial assay laboratories. As a result, no results from the RC testing of the contact have been received yet.

It is anticipated that the majority of results from the current drilling should be received by the mid-December, however, it cannot be guaranteed at this stage.

Planning activities have continued for the re-commencement of field programs in the New Year. An air-core rig has been secured for early-February 2021, with an extensive air-core program being designed to test multiple target areas.

It is anticipated that this work, along with follow-up from the drilling programs in the second half of 2020, will provide multiple high-priority targets for further RC drilling in June Quarter 2021. In addition, Gateway has applied for a grant as part of the WA State Government Exploration Incentive Scheme, for four deep (+600m) diamond holes to test both the nature of the Montague Granodiorite intrusion and the stratigraphy and deformation of the prospective mafic volcanic host sequence on both the western and eastern contact margins.

Should this application be successful, it is anticipated that this program will also be scheduled in the June 2021 Quarter.

MANAGEMENT COMMENT

Gateway’s Managing Director, Mr Peter Langworthy, said: “ We are encouraged and excited by the results of our first major air-core program targeting a new area at the Gidgee Project, with the area south of the historical Rosie Pit and Achilles Oxide Target emerging as a very significant new exploration opportunity.

“Seeing assay results as high 16g/t for this relatively early stage of air-core drilling is always exciting, but of greater importance is the continuity and strength of the oxide and primary gold anomalism and the logical correlation of the geology and structures across the 1.4km strike extent.

“The position of the cross-cutting structures within the Montague Granodiorite is a highly favourable location for major gold deposits to form. What we are seeing in the Achilles Gold Corridor is a favourable coincidence of geological structures with high-order gold anomalism, which suggests that we could be in the early discovery stages of a major new gold system.

“The correlation with significant high-grade historical results across the area is quite remarkable, as is the way this trend lines up with the shallow oxide mineralisation defined to the north at Achilles. This is an area that clearly warrants further work, and we are looking forward to progressing additional exploration including some initial reconnaissance RC drilling followed later by in-fill air-core drilling to prioritise areas for RC and diamond target drilling.

“It’s still relatively early days for the Achilles Gold Corridor, but we see a big opportunity emerging there that could well end up ranking a close second in priority behind the North West Margin, where we are working to in-fill the 1.5km area between our two cornerstone deposits. Once again, this reinforces the multi-pronged opportunity we have at Gidgee and the enormous potential to discover major new gold deposits.

“As a result of the recent resurgence in Gold, there is currently an industry wide surge in samples submitted to commercial assay laboratories. This has caused delays and the turnaround on the assays from the recent RC program has been frustratingly slow. These results will be released as soon as they come to hand.”

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.

Air-core drilling (GWAC prefix) - 2kg - 3kg nominal 4m composite samples were
collected via spear method from from dry 1m bulk samples. End of hole samples were
collected as separate 1m spear sample.

The bulk reject from the sample was dumped into neat piles on the ground.

Field duplicates were collected at a ratio of 1:50 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 1:50. The grade ranges of the CRM’s were
selected based on grade populations and economic grade ranges.
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.). _

Air-core – Bostech Drilling drill rig was used. The rig consisted of a custom built truck
mounted air-core rig with 700cfm x 350psi on board compressor.
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 air-core sample collection process, the sample sizes were visually
inspected to assess drill recoveries.

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.
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.

Air-core bottom of hole chips were washed and stored in chip trays for each hole.

Chips were visually inspected and logged to record lithology, weathering, alteration,
mineralisation, veining and structure.

Data on rock type, deformation, colour, structure, alteration, veining, mineralisation
and oxidation state were recorded.

Loggingis bothqualitative andquantitative in nature.
Sub-sampling
Techniques and

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet

Samples were spear sampled from dry, 1m bulk sample and combined into a nominal

sample
preparation
or dry.

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.

The QC procedure adopted through the process includes:

Field duplicates were collected at a rate of 1: 50, these were collected during
RC drilling at the same time as the primary sample.

OREAS certified material (CRM) was inserted at a rate of 1:50, the grade ranges
of the CRM’s were selected based on grade populations.

2-3kgs of sample was submitted to the laboratory.

Samples oven dried then pulverized in LM5 mills to 85% passing 75micron.

All samples were analysed for Au using the Au-AA26 technique which is a 50g
lead collection fire assay. End of hole samples were also analysed for a 26
element multi-element analysis via 4-acid digest and ICP-MS determination
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) andprecision have been established.

Drill samples were submitted to ALS (Perth). All samples were analysed for Au by a
50g fire assay (AAS finish) which is a total digest assay technique. End of hole samples
were also analysed for a multi-element suite via 4-acid digest and ICP-MS.

Field duplicates were collected at a rate of 1:50 with CRM’s inserted at a rate of 1:50
also. The grade ranges of the CRM’s were selected based on grade populations.
Verification
of
sampling
and
assaying

The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative
company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data
storage (physical and electronic) protocols.

Location of data
points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

Drill hole location is initially recorded with a handheld Garmin GPS (+/- 3m). Definitive
hole locations are determined at the end of the program by surveyor pick-up utilising
RTK-DGPS. All holes are located in MGA (1994) -Zone 51.

Hole dips are determined at the collar by clinometer, with no down-hole surveys
collected

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.

Holes were drilled on 200m spaced section lines, with 40m spaced centres along the
lines.

Holes drilled within this program are designed as a first-pass, broad exploration
program, and are not sufficient to establiush geological and grade continuity to
enable any Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve estimation.

Gold was discovered in the district during the gold rush era, first records of gold won
from small-scale, high-grade workings include the Montague Mining Centre (1904-
13). Renewed interest in the late 1960's included base metal exploration carried out
within exposed stratigraphy of the Montague Ranges (Bungarra Ranges), exploration
interest that broadened with the release of the Sandstone 1:250,000 aeromagnetic
sheet in 1970 resulting in the staking of favourable magnetic anomalies by
exploration companies.

Early explorers in the Montague Ranges included Anaconda Australia Inc. (1966-67),
followed by International Nickel Australia (1971-75) evaluating a Gabbro - banded
differentiated basic complex believed prospective for copper and/or nickel such as
the Dulith Gabbro, USA. Strong geophysical and mineralised anomalism was
encountered, however, copper-zinc enrichment was also encountered in adjacent
felsic stratigraphy at Ed's Bore prospect, which was followed-up by CRA Exploration
(1983-1990) to intersect polymetallic VMS enrichments at Bevan prospect (not
substantively pursued).

At Montague, Western Mining Corporation (1976) conducted investigations for
copper and gold including soil sampling and IP surveying, which was followed by CRA
Exploration (1984-89) working concurrently with AMOCO Minerals Australia
Company (1984) and Clackline Refractories Ltd (from 1985 - to later become Herald
Resources) assessing/purchasing historic mine areas from Mr W.J. Griffiths of
Sandstone. RAB drilling penetrating transported cover resulted in the virgin
discoveries of NE Pit by AMOCO and Whistler deposit by CRA. Later noted explorers
included Dalrymple Resources NL (1987-1990) intersecting gold at the Armada
(Twister) prospect, and Arimco Mining (1990-98) intersecting gold at Lyle prospect,
Victory West prospect, and copper at The Cup prospect (not substantively pursued).

The Montague Mining Centre produced approximately 150,000oz of gold
commencing in 1986 at Caledonian and NE Pits (Clackline), and continued at
Montague Boulder from 1988 (Herald), and was to close in 1993 after completion of
the Rosie Castle open cut(Herald). Whistler open cut was mined from November

1990 (Polaris Pacific NL) and ore toll treated through the Herald mill. Little attention
was paid to mineralisation other than gold. Gateway Mining in joint venture with
Herald Resources continued exploration of the Montague Mining Centre, Gateway
also targeting poly-metallic intrusion related - VMS models in the district from 2006.

Airport, Airport Sth, S Bend, Rosie Nth, Rosie Sth mineralisation was discovered by
Gateway Mining between 2007 and 2011 in RAB drilling and later defined by RC

Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually

Significant intersections are calculated based on a gold accumulation lower cut-off of
1g/t x m – for example 4m @ 0.25g/t Au or 10m @ 0.1g/t Au, with a maximum of 4m
internal dilution. This is considered appropriate for the intended use of the data for

No high-grade cut-off has been applied
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(eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). _

The drill holes were orientated as inclined holes (-60°), toward 270°, as this is
considered to be appropriate for the interpreted dip of the major mineralised
structure – the Achilles Thrust - creating minimal sampling bias.
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 aplan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

Appropriate maps are included in the announcement
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

The accompanying document is considered to be a balanced report with a suitable
cautionary note.
Other
substantive
exploration data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but
not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical
survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential
deleterious or contaminating substances.

The area has been covered by detailed ground gravity and airborne magnetic surveys.
The Montague Dome system was recently covered by a systematic fine-fraction soil
sampling program which highlighted a significant gold-in-soil anomaly corresponding
to the mineralisation intercepted by this drilling.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.

RC and DD fences will be designed to follow-up prospective areas for significant
bedrock gold mineralisation identified by this drilling, as a means of testing the
bedrock potential bellow these anomalies.

Additional air-core drilling will be undertaken to continue tracing the anomalous
mineralised structures further to the south and northeast.
