EXPLORATION PIPELINE FURTHER EXPANDED WITH DELINEATION OF EXTENSIVE NEW GOLD ANOMALIES AT GIDGEE GOLD PROJECT
Surface geochemical sampling program defines at least 12 high-priority targets for drilling
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Results from the recently extended geochemical sampling program across the Montague Dome have -
-
highlighted a number of large scale gold anomalies across a number of geological settings.
-
These present as new high-priority exploration targets, further expanding the Company’s already wellstocked exploration pipeline and confirming the broader prospectivity of the Gidgee Gold Project.
-
The newly-identified anomalies have typically only been subjected to cursory programs of previous exploration.
-
This program of work is part of the Company’s ongoing commitment to systematically collect highquality datasets across the wider Gidgee Gold Project.
-
Drill testing of the geochemical anomalies is scheduled to commence in mid-August as part of the Company’s extensive, ongoing drilling campaign.
-
The previously announced 4,500m Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program has been completed ahead of schedule, with results pending.
Gateway Mining Limited (ASX: GML) ( Gateway or Company ) is pleased to advise that it has further enhanced the prospectivity of its 100%-owned Gidgee Gold Project in Western Australia after results from a recently completed soil geochemical sampling program over the 1,000km[2] project identified a number of new priority targets (Figure 1).

Figure (1): Gidgee Gold Project, Location Plan
The results from this extended sampling program have highlighted a series of exciting anomalies which represent significant new targets for follow-up exploration, complementing the program of work completed by Gateway earlier this year (see ASX release 13 May, 2020). The extensive survey (Figure 2) now covers the entirety of the Montague Dome within Gateway’s tenure, and was also extended to the north and east to cover prospective horizons within the older units of the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt.
A total of 3,996 samples were collected on a nominal 200m x 50m grid, which was widened in parts away from the main Granodiorite system to 400m x 50m. When combined with previously reported programs, a total of 5,708 samples have now been collected across the entire Montague Dome.
KEY POINTS
-
This large-scale geochemical sampling program across the Montague Dome has identified at least 12 highpriority exploration targets that will require follow-up exploration (Figures 2 and 3).
-
Importantly, the identified targets have been generated across a number of geological settings and different levels of transported cover (see Appendix 1 for details).
-
A description of a number of the highest-priority targets is provided below:
-
Anomaly A – Hangingwall Shear hosted target, west of the Montague-Boulder pit and north-west contact zone (see Figure 3). This anomaly is approximately 3,000m x 400m in dimension, corresponding to interpreted shear zones within the mafic volcanics. Several shallow shafts known as “The Plymouth” exist, with only drill testing via shallow RAB drilling generally proximal to the workings
-
Anomaly C – Proximal Mafic Shear Zone target on the north-west contact of the Montague Granodiorite system (see Figure 3). Defined mineralisation exists at the Montague Boulder pit, but a strong consistent anomaly has been returned along the 2.3km strike from the northern tip of the intrusion south toward the Caledonian NE pit. Outside of the Montague-Boulder Resource area, drilling has largely been ineffective shallow historical RAB.
-
Anomaly D – Granodiorite Hosted Stockwork target around and to the south of the structural system that hosts mineralisation at Achilles (see Figure 3). This anomaly indicates the potential for extensive mineralisation within a large area of the granodiorite unit over approximately 2,200m x 1,300m. It includes the previously defined “Crosswind” anomaly, which is now interpreted to be part of a much larger system. The area has only been subjected to broad very-shallow RAB drilling previously and localised deeper testing by sporadic RC drilling, with several significant intersections returned from the Airport and Airport West prospects. This area will be the target of upcoming systematic air-core drilling.
-
Anomaly M – Lower Sequence Hosted Lode target located around the historical Monarch group of workings. An extensive + 4,800m x 500m anomaly associated with a demagnetized zone in the gabbro intrusive complex at the contact with a mafic volcanic sequence and numerous thin granodiorite dykes. The only previous exploration consists of four RC holes drilled directly beneath the workings by Herald Resources Ltd in the 1980s. No exploration has been carried out along strike. The anomaly is completely open to the south beyond the existing soil sampling grid.
These new high-quality anomalies will now be incorporated into future drill planning, consistent with Gateway’s strategy of evaluating the full potential of the Montague Dome. Systematic drill testing will be prioritised on these anomalies in conjunction with work at the established advanced targets at Whistler, Montague-Boulder and Achilles.
CURRENT ACTIVITIES UPDATE
As previously announced, following its recent successful capital raising, Gateway plans to undertake a systematic continuous drilling campaign over the next 12-18 months. The initial 4,500m RC drilling campaign has now been successfully completed ahead of schedule, with drill productivity being above expectations. The samples have all been submitted to a commercial laboratory in Perth for analysis.
Planning is well advanced for a major air-core drilling campaign comprising ~10,000m of drilling and scheduled to begin in mid-August, with a suitable rig due to arrive on site shortly. Following this program, it is expected that a significant RC drilling campaign will commence to follow-up on significant results, as well as to systematically drill the highly prospective north-west margin of the Montague Granodiorite. This drilling is expected to continue until the scheduled pause in field activities in December.

MANAGEMENT COMMENT
Gateway’s Managing Director, Mr Peter Langworthy, said: “ The scale and quality of these newly-defined geochemical anomalies continues to highlight the enormous depth and potential of the Gidgee Gold Project. We have always believed that an opportunity exists to delineate a Tier-1 scale gold system within our expanded ground position, and these results further strengthen our conviction. We are looking forward to testing some of these new priority targets with the next phase of drilling, the major air-core program that is set to kick off later this month.
“In the interim, investors can look forward to results from the recently completed 4,500m RC program, which should be progressively received from the laboratory over the next few weeks. These results, together with the outcomes of the air-core drilling, will help to refine our exploration strategy and where we target the rest of the RC drilling through to the end of the year.”

TABLE (1): Montague Geochemical Anomalies and Categorisation
Granodiorite Hosted Stockwork/Veining – Located within the Montague Granodiorite, usually proximal to the contact area or major shear structures. Hosted in multi-directional vein arrays and associated with de-magnetised zones in the granodiorite. Examples include the Whistler deposit and mineralisation at the Airport prospect.
Proximal Mafic Hosted Shear Zone – Moderately dipping discrete shear zone, hosted on intra-flow stratigraphic boundaries within the western mafic volcanic sequence. Associated with intense K-alteration (biotite) and quartz veining. Some interplay with mineralisation within the granodiorite is often seen, such as at the Battery Zone at Montague-Boulder deposit. Primary example is the Boulder Lode at Montague-Boulder.
Hangingwall Mafic Hosted Shear Zone – Moderately to steeply-dipping discrete shear zones within the western mafic volcanic sequence, distal from the granodiorite contact zone. Mineralisation is entirely hosted in mafics, with associated K-alteration (biotite) and quartz veining. Primary example is mineralisation within the Caledonian pit.
Lower Sequence Hosted Lode – Typical shear zone hosted quartz lode style mineralisation within the older gabbro units of the eastern mafic sequence. Mineralisation is associated with deformed and altered mafic intrusive, typically albite and K-alteration. Primary example is the mineralisation observed at the Montague-Monarch workings.

| L | +1,000m x 250m | Lower Sequence Hosted | Potential southern extension to Anomaly J above. Anomaly is completely open to the south out of the current soilgrid |
| M | +4,800m x 500m | Lower Sequence Hosted | Large, coherent N-S anomaly located at the contact between the lower basalt sequence and an intrusive gabbro unit. The anomaly includes an area of historic gold workings known as the “Montague Monarch”, which has only had 4 RC drillholes drilled to test in the 1980’s. The extension of the anomaly to the north of these workings correlates with a demagnetized zone within the gabbro unit, and is completely open off the south end of the current soil sampling grid |

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. |

| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
• 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 120,000oz 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 |

• 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: o easting and northing of the drill hole collaro elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drillhole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length and interception deptho 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 Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
• Plan of soil samples shown in ASX announcement |
| 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 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 aggregation 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’). |
• Not known at this stage |
| 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. |
• Plan of soil samples shown in ASX 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. |

| 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. |
