GATEWAY IDENTIFIES MULTIPLE PRIORITY TARGETS AT THE BARRELMAKER GOLD PROJECT, WA

Successful targeting process confirms Barrelmaker as a significant exploration opportunity for Gateway in 2025

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Barrelmaker Gold Project in the Sandstone region of WA confirmed as a highly prospective early stage exploration opportunity.

  • At least 12 targets identified from within the historical drilling database that require additional testing.

  • Major, largely untested structural corridors to be targeted with systematic programs of geochemical sampling and/or geophysical surveys.

  • Endowed, large-scale project in area of active M&A activity.

  • Detailed exploration work programs are now being planned with targeted commencement in early 2025.

  • Gateway moves into 2025 in a strong financial position to execute its growth strategy.

Gateway Mining Limited (ASX: GML) ( Gateway or Company ) is pleased to report the outcomes of a recently completed data review and exploration targeting process undertaken across its highly prospective Barrelmaker Gold Project (Figure 1).

The Barrelmaker Gold Project is located in the Sandstone region of Western Australia. The project, covering an area of 488km[2] , represents a large-scale exploration opportunity with demonstrated gold endowment, encompassing more than 80km of prospective strike extent within the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt.

While the project has been subjected to historical exploration, previous drilling is considered to have been sub-optimal to test the mineralisation and the historical results have only now been fully compiled.

Gateway’s planned upcoming work programs at the Barrelmaker Project include in-fill airborne magnetics surveys, field checking and geochemical sampling as well as a planned program of air-core drilling commencing in early 2025.

Management Comment

Gateway Executive Chairman, Peter Langworthy, said: “We see the Barrelmaker Gold Project as an area that has all the hallmarks of being a well-endowed gold system. It covers a large area that hosts a system of what we believe are important structural controls within the greenstone belt, it clearly has demonstrated gold endowment based on the targets and results we have now outlined, and it has only really seen cursory programs of exploration in the past.

We know that the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt is a highly productive area with a multi-million ounce pedigree, and we see outstanding potential to continue to add to that across our Barrelmaker Gold Project. We are also very conscious that the Sandstone region is in the process of consolidation and is a much sort after mining district.

Moving into 2025, we are looking forward starting the New Year with well-planned programs of systematic exploration across the key target areas to put us in the best possible position to unlock the potential of this asset for our shareholders.”

Target Summary

The targeting process utilising the historical drilling database has identified at least 12 targets that require additional programs of exploration. In addition, a number of large-scale structural corridors have been identified that require generative programs of systematic geochemical sampling and/or geophysics. The following is a summary of each target (see Appendix (1) and Appendix (2) for additional detail):

Figure (2): Barrelmaker Gold Project – Geology and Prospect Locations

Blacksmith Prospect

The Blacksmith Prospect is characterised by a large-scale soil geochemical and laterite anomaly (600m x 400m at a 200ppb Au cut-off). Follow-up drilling has demonstrated widespread gold anomalism but had limited effectiveness due to a depletion zone to approximately 40m.

2

==> picture [76 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

Significant historic intersections include:

WRC004 13 metres @ 1.4g/t Au from 41m GRB723 20 metres @ 1.8g/t Au from 35m (end of hole)

The mineralisation is untested at depth and is not constrained in any direction.

Kauri Prospect

The Kauri Prospect is located immediately south of Blacksmith and is likely part of the same gold mineralised system. Surface geochemical sampling and RAB drilling has identified gold anomalism over a strike length of approximately 1.2km. Structural controls have not yet been fully defined.

Highly encouraging is a series of bottom-of-hole intersections that remain untested. Results include:

3720/1548 4 metres @ 1.3g/t Au from 16m (end of hole) 3840/1656 4 metres @ 2.5g/t Au from 36m (end of hole)

Kauri South Prospect

The Kauri South Prospect is focused on a series of historical prospector shafts and adjacent modern day scraping operations (excised tenement). Limited wide spaced RAB and RC drilling has intersected a series of anomalous structural zones that remain totally unconstrained.

Significant drill results include:

3660/1472 11 metres @ 4.5g/t Au from 58m 3660/1480 12 metres @ 1.6g/t Au from 21m 3660/1488 9 metres @ 2.0g/t Au from 21m

Transit-Encino Prospect

Mineralisation is hosted in a sequence of mafic volcanic rocks in what is interpreted to be a WNW trending shear zone. Shallow RAB drilling has identified widespread anomalism over a least 1km (remains open).

Significant drill results returned from both RAB and RC drilling include:

GRB660 22 metres @ 2.3g/t Au from 61m (end of hole) ENRC006 11 metres @ 1.2g/t Au from 53m GRB699 10 metres @ 3.2g/t Au from 65m

Maple Prospect

The Maple Prospect is located on the western margin of the project and is hosted by a sequence of interbedded banded iron formations (BIF’s) and mafic volcanic rocks. Maple is interpreted to be the northern extension of a larger target (as yet untested) that is based on the BIF dominated succession being “dragged” into the regionally significant Youno Fault.

Reconnaissance RC drilling testing a zone of soil anomalism returned:

MARC004 3 metres @ 2.4g/t Au from 61m MARC001 2 metres @ 1.0g/t Au from 54m

This zone of mineralisation is currently defined by limited drilling over 100m and remains open along strike and at depth.

Crater Prospect

The Crater Prospect is located on what is interpreted to be the southern extension of the Gidgie shear zone. Limited RAB drilling has intersected highly anomalous gold mineralisation on a contact between basalt, dolerite and ultramafic.

The significant intersections were returned from the deepest holes suggesting that a zone of depletion is present, and that the mineralisation remains totally unconstrained at depth.

3

==> picture [76 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

Significant drill results include:

GRB619 15 metres @ 1.9g/t Au from 48m (end of hole) GRB1069 5 metres @ 1.3g/t Au from 35m and 8 metres @ 1.3g/t Au from 55m (end of hole)

Seagull Prospect

The Seagull Prospect is defined by a widespread (>1000m) anomalism defined in RAB drilling. Subsequent RC drilling intersected gold mineralised structures in fresh rock. The mineralisation, which is hosted in a sequence of sediments, remains untested at depth and along strike.

Significant drill results include:

3610/2280 9 metres @ 2.0g/t Au from 9m SGRC010 4 metres @ 1.0g/t Au from 70m

Woodley Ridge Prospect

The Woodley Ridge Prospect is located across a sequence of BIF, interbedded ultramafics and mafic volcanic rocks. Gold mineralisation has been intersected in two areas spaced ~3km apart.

Significant drill results include:

SRC049 5 metres @ 1.4g/t Au from 0m SRC007 5 metres @ 3.2g/t Au from 54m SRC025 5 metres @ 1.3g/t Au from 109m

Grace Darling Prospect

The Grace Darling Prospect is defined by a soil geochemical anomaly and a series of historical shafts and pits over a strike length of 1.7km. This prospect area itself also lies within a ~14km trend of historical workings and is interpreted as the southern extension of the Gidgie shear zone.

The anomalism is located along a contact between sheared mafic and granitic rocks. There has been no drilling on this target.

Transit Gravity Feature

A distinct gravity high, magnetic low with an estimated 600m diameter has been identified to the immediate south of the Transit Prospect within an interpreted NE trending structural corridor. The feature is interpreted to be a discrete intrusion. There has been no drilling or surface sampling over the target area, and it appears to be located under shallow cover.

Bo Peep Prospect

The Bo Peep Prospect is a distinct granitic intrusion in the core of a doubly plunging antiform. Wide spaced RAB drilling (1km sections) to test under transported cover returned low-level, but significant drilling results (best result 4180/1825: 3m @ 1.3g/t Au).

Given that the Montague granodiorite, located to the west, has a gold endowment of approximately 800,000oz, the Bo Peep Prospect presents as a significant target.

Northern Dancer Prospect

The Northern Dancer Prospect is centred on a series of old workings across a sequence of mafic volcanic rocks that were tested by limited, wide spaced RAB drilling. The drilling returned extensive low level gold and alteration.

Of most interest is a bottom-of-hole intersection of 6m @ 0.83g/t Au (WTR227) that remains completely untested.

Youno Fault

The Youno Fault is a major NE-SW trending structural system that extends over at least 20km within the Barrelmaker Project area. The interpreted intersection of the Youno Fault with the Gidgie shear one is marked by the multi-million ounce Swan-Swift Gold System (Horizon Gold Limited).

The fault has not had any systematic programs of exploration and is largely under transported cover.

Barrelmaker Gold Project Work Programs

Programs of exploration will commence in early 2025 (subject to weather events) and will include:

  • Detailed field assessment of each target, with a particular focus on understanding structural controls.

  • Programs of soil sampling. The priority area will be across the Youno Fault.

  • Infill airborne magnetic surveying to provide full coverage of high-quality, detailed data.

  • Programs of aircore drilling.

Montague Range Base Metals Project Update

The assay results have now been returned from the recently completed rock chip sampling program (n=252) across the Apex Copper-Nickel-PGE Prospect . The data is currently being fully integrated to help determine the metal fertility of the intrusion.

Follow-up field programs will assess anomalous results in further detail.

A number of samples have reported significantly elevated values (see Appendix (1) and Appendix (2) for additional detail):

Sample No Easting Northing Copper (ppm) Nickel (ppm) Cobalt (ppm) Palladium (ppb) Platinum (ppb)

Notes:

• All coordinates located in MGA (GDA94) Zone 50. • Rock chip samples

Planning of next stage exploration for the highly prospective Flametree Cu-Ni-PGE Prospect is underway.

Premier 1 Lithium Withdrawal from Montague Lithium Farm-In Agreement

The Company also advises that Premier 1 Lithium Limited (ASX:PLC) ( PLC ) has withdrawn from the Montague Lithium Farm-In Agreement established in January 2023 (see ASX announcement dated 23 January 2023) ( Agreement ). Under the Agreement PLC had the ability to earn up to an 80% interest in the lithium rights over selected tenements within the Company’s Montague Project.

PLC decided to withdraw from the Agreement at the end of the non-withdrawal period. PLC has not earned any lithium interest in the tenements and Gateway will retain the lithium rights along with all other non-gold rights across these tenements.

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.

Gateway RC drilling (GRC prefix) - 2kg - 3kg samples were split from dry 1m
bulk samples.

Historic Gateway RAB drilling (GRB – prefix) - submitted samples comprised
2kg speared parent samples which were subjected to total preparation. Au by
B/ETA to 1ppb. Ag, As Co, Cu, Ni Sb and Zn by B/AAS to 1ppm.
Non-Gateway Historical Drilling:

RC Drilling: Samples were collected on 1m intervals, riffle split and 1m samples
prepared for assay.

Samples were sent various commercial laboratories for gold by either aqua
regia digest and AAS determination, or fire assay on 50g charge.

RAB Drilling: Samples were collected on variable intervals, mostly 3 and 4m
via scoop/spear and composite samples prepared for assay.

Samples were sent various commercial laboratories for gold by aqua regia
digest and AAS determination_._

Rock chips were taken on a grid perpendicular to strike at 400m line spacing
and 100m sample intervals. Only whole fresh rock samples were taken from
outcrop. For areas of regolith no samples were taken at the geologist’s
discretion. Samples were placed in numbered calico bags. Samples were
approximately 1kg to ensure representativity.

Rock chip samples were taken across the strike length and width of the
Montague Range intrusions to ensure representivity by experienced
geologists.

All rock chips were submitted to Intertek, Perth for 4A/MS48 and FA50/MS
analysis.

Handheld XRF instruments (Olympus) were utilized on site for rock and mineral
identification aid at the geologist’s discretion. Prior to use, and at regular
intervals throughout the day, the handheld XRF instrument was calibrated, and
a CRM analysed to ensure the instrument window was not contaminated with
dust and the instrument was analysing correctly. Handheld XRF data was used
as an aid only.

Exploration

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.

Modern exploration within the tenements has been undertaken by several
operators:

Gateway’s Barrelmaker Project is located in the Gidgee district in the Archean
Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia approximately 630km NE of Perth and
70km north from the township of Sandstone on the eastern central portion of
the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt, of the Southern Cross Province.
Metamorphic grade of the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt is estimated to be low-
grade greenschist facies.

Project lithology includes basalt/ash tuff/dolerite/gabbro, the Montague
Granodiorite sub-volcanic intrusion (calc-alkaline - FI), dacite volcanic flow/s
(FI), volcaniclastic sequences of felsic composition and epiclastic
conglomerates, ultramafic intrusives and external orogenic granite plutons.

Drill
hole
Information

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 collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of
the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o 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.

Exploration drill results from historic drilling, and associated details are
contained in Table 1 of this release. These results are taken on face value,
and will be either followed up or verified by Gateways planned exploration
activities.
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.

Significant intersections are calculated as a minimum of 1m greater than 1.0g/t
with a lower cutoff of 0.2g/t u Au with a maximum of 3m of internal dilution

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’).

Historic data only is presented at this stage. Gateway has not conducted any
of its own investigations, so the relationships between intercept widths and
mineralisation true widths is not known at this stage. However, several RAB
holes by Arimco are whole-hole composites, so would overstate the true width
of mineralisation.
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 a plan 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

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey

Significant other historic data exists including soil sampling, geophysical
surveying and interpretation, but are not considered material at this stage.
