JUNE 2019 QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES AND CASH FLOW REPORT

INTRODUCTION

During and subsequent to the reporting period Gateway Mining Limited (ASX: GML) ( Gateway or Company ) reported positive results from programs of Reverse Circulation ( RC ) and diamond drilling at its 100%-owned Gidgee Gold Project in Western Australia (Figure 1), where recent drilling has identified significant extensions to both the cornerstone Whistler and Montague Gold Deposits.

The drilling success continues to demonstrate the substantial exploration upside at the Gidgee Project and the potential for both the Whistler and Montague prospects to evolve into significant large-scale gold deposits.

GIDGEE GOLD PROJECT – Summary

Montague Gold Deposit

  • Highly encouraging results received from two drill programs, including a 5-hole diamond program designed to in-fill and extend the gold mineralisation and provide quality samples for metallurgical test work prior to resource modelling, and a subsequent RC program focused on testing extensions to the gold system to the north and south. Key results from this program were[1] :

  • GDD015 4.5 metres @ 10.2g/t Au from 121 metres

  • GDD013 2.0 metres @ 5.98g/t Au from 163 metresGDD014 5.5 metres @ 1.40g/t Au from 174 metresGRC380 9.0 metres @ 5.20g/t Au from 72 metres

  • The results demonstrate that the mineralisation at Montague:

  • Remains open down-plunge to the north-west.

  • Remains totally open along strike to the south, with the potential for major down-dip extensions.

  • Has excellent potential for additional high-grade, sub-parallel trends along the same structure to the north and south of the currently defined position.

  • New results being incorporated into the interim resource modelling process are currently underway for both the Whistler and Montague Deposits, while also demonstrating the significant exploration potential at the Gidgee Project beyond the upcoming maiden Resource estimate.

Whistler Gold Deposit

  • Diamond and RC drilling successfully extended the high-grade mineralisation both at depth and north and south along strike. Drilling also intersected a number of potentially large-scale, flat-lying mineralised structures that demonstrate the potential for a large-scale gold system to be identified. Key results included[2] :

  • GRC375 12.0 metres @ 5.00g/t Au from 79 metres

  • GRC376 7.0 metres @ 6.55g/t Au from 114 metresGDD011 15.4 metres @ 2.94g/t Au from 128 metresGRC374 7.0 metres @ 2.26g/t Au from 21 metresGRC378 5.0 metres @ 2.82g/t Au from 138 metres88MRD24 12.5 metres @ 2.18g/t Au from 128 metres *Previously reportedGDD012 2.0 metres @ 9.4g/t Au from 250 metres – Main Zone**

    • 0.5 metres @ 4.6g/t Au from 68 metres – Hanging wall lode

    • 2.0 metres @ 6.9g/t Au from 130 metres – Hanging wall lode 1.0 metres @ 7.6g/t Au from 185 metres – Hanging wall lode

1 See Appendix 2 for details 2 See Appendix 2 for details

  • The results demonstrate that the Whistler Gold Deposit remains open along strike both to the north and south and that multiple structurally controlled, high-grade domains are present within a broader mineralised envelope. These high-grade domains remain open down-plunge.

  • The presence of thick, high-grade zones of mineralisation in these near-surface positions will have a significantly positive impact on the optimisation of any future open pit development.

  • The new results are being incorporated into the resource modelling process that is currently underway.

Montague Gold Deposit

  • During and subsequent to the reporting period the Montague Gold Deposit was the focus of two programs of drilling. The initial phase was a 5-hole program of diamond drilling designed to in-fill and extend the gold mineralisation and also to provide quality samples for metallurgical test work prior to resource modeling. This was immediately followed by a program of RC drilling focused on extensions to the gold system to the north and south. Key results from this program were[3] :

  • GDD015 4.5 metres @ 10.2g/t Au from 121 metres

  • GDD013 2.0 metres @ 5.98g/t Au from 163 metresGDD014 5.5 metres @ 1.40g/t Au from 174 metresGRC380 9.0 metres @ 5.20g/t Au from 72 metres

  • The results demonstrate that the mineralisation at Montague:

  • Remains open down-plunge to the north-west.

  • Remains totally open along strike to the south, and highlights the potential for major down-dip extensions.

  • Has excellent potential for additional high-grade, sub-parallel trends along the same structure to the north and south of the currently defined position.

Key Points

  • The program of targeted RC drilling was completed to test for near-surface extensions of the Montague Deposit gold mineralisation, and also to identify the potential for additional high-grade trends within the broader mineralised envelope (Figures 2 and 3).

  • The drilling program has highlighted the potential for thick, high-grade mineralisation to extend for a considerable distance to the south and down-dip of the currently defined mineralised zone at Montague. In fact, the southern and down-dip extensions remain fully open and untested.

  • Results from this recent program of RC drilling were:

  • GRC380 9.0 metres @ 5.2g/t Au from 72 metres

  • GRC381 2.0 metres @ 0.8g/t Au from 85 metres; within wider shear zoneGRC379 Wide shear zone intersected at 52m; anomalous gold results to 0.3g/t

  • The intercept in GRC380 correlates with previously reported high-grade intercepts on the southern margin of the deposit shown below. This provides further evidence of a significant and emerging trend of highgrade mineralisation to the south of the deposit:

  • GRC357 5.0 metres @ 11.5g/t Au from 104 metres

  • GRC342 9.0 metres @ 4.24g/t Au from 89 metresGRC325 5.0 metres @ 4.81g/t Au from 70 metres

  • GRC379 and GRC381 were both drilled as a first-pass test targeting large step-out positions to the north and south of Montague. Both intersected the targeted shear zone and, despite only returning anomalous assay results, provide important information regarding the geometry and trend of the main mineralised zones. With an enhanced understanding of the plunge controls of the mineralisation, the Company will be in a better position to accurately and cost effectively target the shear zone with view to identifying highquality mineralisation.

Figure (3): Montague Gold Project – Interpreted Cross Section (Looking north)

  • Diamond hole GDD016 intersected a position that has been affected by what is now understood to be a latestage off-setting fault. As a result, the hole did not intersect the main Montague shear zone but returned an intercept of 2m @ 1.1g/t Au from the cross-cutting structure.

  • Diamond hole GDD013 was extended to target the deeper Gordon’s Shear Zone some 120m away from the original intersection (GRC330: 4m @ 24.1g/t Au). This hole was also impacted by the presence of the latestage off-setting fault. Closer-spaced drilling will now target the original intersection to determine the potential of this structure.

  • Results from the last four widely-spaced reconnaissance RC holes drilled to the north of Montague will be reported in the September quarter.

  • The new results are being incorporated into the interim resource modelling process that is currently underway for both the Whistler and Montague Deposits, while also demonstrating the significant exploration potential at the Gidgee Project beyond the upcoming maiden Resource estimate.

Whistler Gold Deposit

  • Diamond and RC drilling at Whistler has successfully extended the high-grade mineralisation both at depth and north and south along strike. In addition, the drilling also intersected a number of potentially large-scale, flatlying mineralised structures that demonstrate the potential for a large-scale gold system to be identified. Key results reported during or subsequent to the quarter were[4] :

  • GRC375 12.0 metres @ 5.00g/t Au from 79 metres

  • GRC376 7.0 metres @ 6.55g/t Au from 114 metres

  • GDD011 15.4 metres @ 2.94g/t Au from 128 metres*

  • GRC374 7.0 metres @ 2.26g/t Au from 21 metres

  • GRC378 5.0 metres @ 2.82g/t Au from 138 metres

  • 88MRD24 12.5 metres @ 2.18g/t Au from 128 metres*

  • _Previously reported_  GDD012 2.0 metres @ 9.4g/t Au from 250 metres – Main Zone*

    • 0.5 metres @ 4.6g/t Au from 68 metres – Hanging wall lode 2.0 metres @ 6.9g/t Au from 130 metres – Hanging wall lode 1.0 metres @ 7.6g/t Au from 185 metres – Hanging wall lode

  • The results demonstrate that the Whistler Gold Deposit remains open along strike both to the north and south and that multiple structurally controlled, high-grade domains are present within a broader mineralised envelope. These high-grade domains remain open down-plunge.

  • The presence of thick, high-grade zones of mineralisation in these near-surface positions will have a significantly positive impact on the optimisation of any future open pit development.

  • The new results are being incorporated into the resource modeling process that is currently underway.

Key Points – Whistler High-Grade Extensions

  • A program of targeted RC drilling was completed to test for near-surface extensions of the Whistler Deposit gold mineralisation, with a particular focus on confirming the presence of additional high-grade domains within the broader mineralised envelope (Figure 4, 5 and 6).

  • The results clearly demonstrate the presence of two high-grade domains to the immediate north and south of the deposit. Key assay results are:

  • GDD012 2.0 metres @ 9.40g/t Au from 250 metres

  • GRC375 12.0 metres @ 5.00g/t Au from 79 metresGRC376 7.0 metres @ 6.55g/t Au from 114 metresGDD011 15.4 metres @ 2.94g/t Au from 128 metres*

*Previously reported

  • The mineralisation remains open to the north and south, and the identified high-grade domains remain open at depth.

  • The presence of thick, high-grade zones of mineralisation in these near-surface positions will have a significant, positive impact on the optimisation of any future open pit development at Whistler.

  • Significant potential exists over an extended strike length of more than 1.2km (see the regional Long Section in Figure 5) to identify and delineate additional new zones of gold mineralisation. Historical shallow drilling has consistently intersected significant zones of mineralisation on or near the contact between the granodiorite and the mafic volcanic rocks, highlighting the outstanding prospectivity of this corridor.

  • A single diamond hole (GDD012) was successfully drilled to test the down-dip extension of the main mineralised structure (Figures 6). A high-grade result of 2 metres @ 9.4g/t Au was returned in the targeted position.

  • The result confirms the plunge of the gold mineralisation ahead of planning for future drilling and also confirms the potential for significant high-grade structures parallel to the main zone.

  • Additionally, diamond hole GDD012 intersected a series of shear zones hosted by mafic volcanics in the “Hanging Wall” of the main Whistler mineralised zone. Results included: 0.5 metres @ 4.6g/t Au, 2.0 metres @ 6.9g/t Au and 1.0 metres @ 7.6g/t Au. The significance of these results is that they confirm the potential for large-scale mineralised structures that extend along the entire ~300 metre strike length of the Whistler Gold Deposit.

  • The new results are now being incorporated into the resource modeling process that is currently underway for the Whistler Gold Deposit.

Key Points – Whistler New Mineralised Structures

A program of quality geological assessment work by Gateway’s exploration team, including a significant amount of re-logging of historical drilling samples, has highlighted the importance of major flat-lying structures as a control of the mineralisation in the broader area. This control is highly evident at the Montague Gold Deposit and has now been fully recognised at Whistler.

As a result of this work, a number of targets were selected for initial drill testing. The outcomes are positive and the key results within these structures are:

  • GRC374 7.0 metres @ 2.26g/t Au from 21 metres

  • GRC378 5.0 metres @ 2.82g/t Au from 138 metres88MRD24 12.5 metres @ 2.18g/t Au from 128 metres (historical result)

  • 83MORC35 4.0 metres @ 14.6g/t Au from 16 metres (historical result)

  • The Cardinal Shear Zone is located to the immediate north of the Whistler Deposit. GRC378, which was drilled as a follow-up to a historical intersection returned from drill hole 88MRD24, intersected a significantly mineralised shear zone that confirms the flat-lying nature of the structure, rather than the previously interpreted steep orientation.

The following are considered to be important attributes of the Cardinal Shear Zone:

  • The mineralised shear zone remains open in all directions.

  • It is relatively shallow and the up-dip projection moves closer to surface.

  • The interpreted intersection with the granodiorite is considered a highly prospective target for future drilling. In particular, the structure is interpreted to intersect with the down-plunge projection of the main Whistler Deposit.

  • Preliminary metallurgical assaying demonstrates that the mineralisation is free-milling.

  • Historical drill hole 86MORC35 (4m @ 14.6g/t Au) is also now being interpreted as the near-surface expression of a similar flat-lying structure, although drilling is required to confirm this.

Figure (7): Cardinal Shear Zone - Interpreted Cross Section (Looking north)

  • The second major structure was intersected at a shallow depth in GRC374 ( 7m @ 2.26g/t Au from 21m ). The flat-lying structure is located within the immediate hanging wall to the main granodiorite-hosted Whistler Deposit (Figure 7). As previously noted, there are also a series of mineralised sub-vertical shear zones running the entire length of the Whistler Gold Deposit.

  • The geological review has also demonstrated that at least one of the major mineralised structures penetrates through the entire width of the granodiorite to the west of the Whistler Gold Deposit (Figure 7). Although the mineralisation is discontinuous (best intersection 11m @ 2.19g/t (MRP48)), it highlights the intensity of the structure and provides a vector towards mafic-hosted shear zones on the western margin of the granodiorite. This is the same setting as the Montague Gold Deposit, located 1km to the south.

REGIONAL PROJECTS

No exploration activity was undertaken on the Company’s regional exploration projects during the reporting period.

EDJUDINA PROJECT

During the reporting period, the Company announced that it had entered into an option agreement for the sale of its Edjudina Project exploration licences in the Laverton Region of Western Australia as part of its strategy of crystallising value from its portfolio of non-core exploration assets while maintaining a strong focus on gold exploration and development at its flagship Gidgee Gold Project.

The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Omni Projects, entered into a conditional option agreement ( Transaction ) with ASX listed Trek Metals Limited (ASX:TKM) ( Trek ) under which Trek has an exclusive option to acquire Omni Project’s interests in E39/1765, E39/1882, E31/1150 and E31/1134 ( Tenements ) ( Option Agreement ).

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, in consideration for a non-refundable option fee of A$10,000, Trek has an exclusive six-month option ( Option Term ) to acquire the Tenements ( Option ). Trek must also conduct a minimum $100,000 of expenditure on the Tenements, which includes drilling commencing within three months of signing the Option Agreement ( Minimum Expenditure ).

  • (b) ( Cash or Share Payment ): A$3,000,000 in cash or Trek shares (valued at a 5 day VWAP) at Trek’s absolute discretion payable within 14 days of a public announcement of a decision to mine.

CARTERTON PROJECT

During the reporting period, the Company entered into an option agreement for the sale of its exploration licence located at the northern end of the Southern Cross Greenstone Belt in Western Australia. The transaction is consistent with its strategy of crystallising value from its portfolio of non-core exploration assets while maintaining a strong focus on gold exploration and development at its flagship Gidgee Gold Project.

The Company entered into a conditional option agreement ( Transaction ) with ASX-listed Syndicated Metals Limited (ASX: SMD) ( SMD ) under which SMD has an exclusive option to acquire Omni Projects’ interests in E77/2309 ( Tenement ) ( Option Agreement ).

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, in consideration for a non-refundable option fee of AUD$10,000, SMD has an exclusive 12-month option ( Initial Option Term ) to acquire the Tenement ( Option ).

SMD may at any time prior to expiry of the Initial Option Term elect to extend the Option by a further 12 months ( Second Option Term ) by providing written notice to the Company and paying a further non-refundable option fee of AUD$10,000. This will result in SMD having an aggregate 24-month Option to acquire the Tenement ( Term ).

SMD may at any time during the Term exercise the Option by providing written notice to the Company and enter into a binding tenement sale agreement ( Tenement Sale Agreement ), and pay to the Company the following consideration:

  • (a) ( Cash or share Consideration ): A$300,000 payable in cash or SMD shares (valued at a 5-day VWAP) at Gateway’s absolute discretion; and

  • (b) ( Royalty Consideration ): the grant of a 1.5% gross revenue royalty over the Tenement.

Completion will occur five business days after the exercise of the Option or such other date as agreed in writing between the parties ( Completion ). During the Term and in the event of exercise of the Option, then until Completion, SMD shall be solely responsible for:

  • (a) Maintaining the Tenement in good standing in accordance with all applicable laws including minimum expenditure requirements being met and the payment of all rates and rents; and

  • (b) All rehabilitation of the Tenement required as a result of its activities on the Tenement including all costs relating to such rehabilitation.

TENEMENTS

There have been no material changes to the Company’s tenement holdings during the reporting period (see Appendix 1).

CAPITAL RAISING

During the reporting period, on 10 April 2019 the Company announced that it had successfully completed a capital raising of A$2.0 million (before costs) ( Placement ) to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors to underpin a major new phase of drilling and exploration at the Gidgee Gold Project.

The Placement, which comprised the issue of 154,988,385 shares at an issue price of $0.013 per share, was strongly supported by existing and new investors including, subject to shareholder approval, by the Company’s directors.

The proceeds of the Placement will underpin a major new phase of drilling and exploration at the Gidgee Gold Project. The new exploration program will build on the Company’s drilling success over the past 12 months, focusing on an impressive pipeline of targets ranging from advanced prospects such as Whistler and Montague to the emerging potential of the Montague Granodiorite contact – where Gateway is targeting large-scale gold potential – plus a suite of shallow regional targets with the potential to host a significant oxide gold component.

APPENDIX (3): SIGNIFICANT DRILLING INTERSECTIONS JORC Code, 2012 Edition Table 1

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.

DIAMOND Drilling– Core was drilled by DDH 1. Gateway staff collected the core
from the rig and took the core back to the 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

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:

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 account for a recognized coarse gold 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.).

DIAMOND - was drilled by DDH1 (Perth) using a Boart Longyear KWL 1600H drill rig.

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:

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.

DIAMOND – the holes were rough cored from surface through the broken oxide
zone which is well understood from previous drilling. The remnant core was
examined by Gateway Geologists and then discarded. Once coherent coring was
established the drill sample recovery was measured routinely by Gateway
Geologists. Overall recovery was excellent.

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.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

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.

1m. Quarter core was sampled from each interval and retained in calico bags. Core
is then securely stored in a Perth warehouse.

Samples were split from dry, 1m bulk sample via a cone splitter directly from the
cyclone.

The QC procedure adopted through the process includes:
o

Please See Table 1 for Results
Drilling at the Whistler, Montague and Caledonian targets have been drill tested in
various spacings. Typically immediately below the historical open pit mines the spacing
is a nominal 25 x 25m and as the drilling moves deeper and along strike expands to 25 x
50m and 50 x 50m.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should
be assessed and reported if material.

Drill lines were orientated as close to perpendicular as possible 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 mineralisation.

Vertical drilling has been utilised at Montague to allow for room on the pit edge and
to facilitate drilling through a low level waste dump.

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.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status

Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or
material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding
royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and
environmental settings.

The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known
impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

The Whistler gold deposit is situated on Mining Lease M57/217 which is held 100%
by Gateway Mining Ltd.

The Montague Gold Deposit is situated on Mining Lease M57/98 which is held 100%
by Gateway Mining Ltd.
Exploration done
by other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

Whistler open cut was mined from November 1990 (Polaris Pacific NL) and ore was
toll treated through the Herald mill. Little attention was paid to mineralisation other
than gold.

Montague open cut was mined from 1989-1990 (Herald Resource Ltd) and ore was
toll treated through the Herald mill. Little attention was paid to mineralisation other
thangold.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

The Whistler orebody is a N-S shear zone hosted at the contact between basalt (east)
and granodiorite (west) that contains an array of NNE-striking quartz veins arranged
en echelon.

The Whistler orebody is hosted in a flat lying (30-45 degrees) N-S trending shear zone
hosted by basalt on the margin of a large granodiorite intrusion. The mineralisation is
typically within a defined shear zone with quartz-veining and strong biotite-sericite
alteration. Minor sulphides are generally present.
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 are contained with Table 1
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.

The minimum grade truncation was set at 1g/t. There was no maximum grade
truncation given to these set of exploration results.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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’). _

Drill lines were 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 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 and sections 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.

Bulk density and leachwell analysis are ongoing and will be reported in due course
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.

A first pass inferred resource on the results obtained to date at Whistler and
Montague.

Deeper diamond drilling to fully assess the underground potential/extension of the
known high grade mineralised core.

RC drilling to test for strike extensions.
