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 metres GDD014 5.5 metres @ 1.40g/t Au from 174 metres GRC380 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 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
-
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 metres GDD014 5.5 metres @ 1.40g/t Au from 174 metres GRC380 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 zone GRC379 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 metres GRC325 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.

-
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 metres GRC376 7.0 metres @ 6.55g/t Au from 114 metres GDD011 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 metres • 88MRD24 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 ).

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:
-

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: All information referred in this report not collected in this currentprogram has been |

| accessed through verifying historical company reports and/or available digital databases. Diamond Drilling:HQ3 and NQ core drilled in fresh rock. Core orientated and mineralised noted and marked for cutting. Sample lengths sampled on 0.5 to 2m intervals and cut to half-core sub-sample collected. Samples were analysed for Au by AAS technique with results greater than 0.5ppm Au re- assayed by Fire Assay. Assays >3g/t Au re-assayed by Screen Fire Assay. This methodology was applied to 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: All information referred in this report not collected in this current program has been accessed through verifying historical company reports and/or available digital databases. Diamond Drilling:RC percussion or HQ3 pre-collars were drilled to fresh rock. NQ core drilled for remainder of holes. No details available on drilling rig specifications. RC Drilling:RC percussion drilled as pre-collars to fresh rock. No details available on drilling rig specifications. |
| Drill sample recovery |
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. • Measures taken to maximize sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
• 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. |

| • At the end of each metre the bit was lifted off the bottom to separate each metre drilled. • The majority of samples were of good quality with ground water having minimal effect on sample quality or recovery. • From the collection of recovery data, no identifiable bias exists. Historical Drilling: All information referred in this report not collected in this current program has been accessed through verifying historical company reports and/or available digital databases. Diamond Drilling:Recoveries in fresh rock are recorded as being satisfactory and that no inherent bias has been introduced from drilling or sampling techniques. RC Drilling:There are no records available that capture information on drilling recoveries. Typically a minimum 3kg sample was provided to the laboratory for assay. Samples considered fit for purpose. |

| 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. |
• Diamond core was put into core trays on the drill rig and then cleaned, reassembled and marked up with metre marks for logging by Gateway geologists • Reverse circulation chips were washed and stored in chip trays in 1m intervals for the entire length of 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. • Logging is both qualitative and quantitative or semi quantitative in nature. Historical Drilling: All information referred in this report not collected in this current program has been accessed through verifying historical company reports and/or available digital databases. Reverse circulation and Aircore chips were washed and stored in chip trays in 1m intervals for the entire length of each hole. Chips were visually inspected and logged to record lithology, weathering, alteration, mineralisation, veining and structure. Records of samples being wet or dry were taken. Diamond core was presented and stored in industry standard core boxes. The core was orientated and core loss noted. Data on rocktype, deformation, colour, structure, alteration, veining, mineralisation and oxidation state were recorded. RQD, magnetic susceptibility and core recoveries were recorded. Logging is considered both qualitative and quantitative or semi-quantitative in nature. The logging information is considered to be fit for purpose. |

| techniques and sample preparation |
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet 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. |
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: oWeighing both calicos and reject sample to determine sample recovery and check for sampling bias. oField duplicates were collected at a rate of 1:25, these were collected during RC drilling at the same time as the primary sample. oOREAS certified material (CRM) was inserted at a rate of 1:25, 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 at 10gdegC 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. • For Diamond core and RC samples the sample preparation technique is appropriate and is standard industry practice for a gold deposit. • Quality control for maximising representivity of samples included sample weights, insertion of field duplicates and laboratory duplicates. Historical Drilling: All information referred in this report not collected in this current program has been accessed through verifying historical company reports and/or available digital databases. RC samples were split using a riffle splitter. 1m samples were collected and 5m composites prepared for assay. Re-assays were undertaken on selected 1m samples. Typically 3kg samples were submitted to the assay laboratory. Only minor numbers of samples are recorded as being wet. QA/QC data is not currently available. Sampling processes are considered fit for purpose. Diamond core was presented and stored in industry standard core boxes. The core was orientated and core loss noted. Once logged the core was marked up for sampling ranging from 0.5m to 2.0m largely matching geological contacts. Half core samples were collected and submitted to the assay laboratory. 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. |

• 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) and precision have been established. |
• Drill samples were submitted to ALS (Perth). All samples were analysed by a 50g fire assay (AAS finish) which is a total assay. • Ore zones were also submitted for accelerated cyanide leachwell test work. This is involves a 2000g leach with AAS finish. • Field duplicates were collected at a rate of 1:25 with CRM’s inserted at a rate of 1:25 also. The grade ranges of the CRM’s were selected based on grade populations. Historical Drilling: All information referred in this report not collected in this current program has been accessed through verifying historical company reports and/or available digital databases. All samples were assayed at either Analabs or ALS in Perth. 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. QA/QC data is not currently available. Sampling processes are considered fit for purpose. |
| 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. • Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
• Drilling results are cross checked by company geologists and consulting geologists (OMNI GeoX Pty Ltd.) • Data is recorded digitally at the project within standard industry software, assay results received digitally also. • All data is stored within a suitable database. Historical Drilling: All information referred in this report not collected in this current program has been accessed through verifying historical company reports and/or available digital databases. Logging and sampling were recorded directly into a Stratalog T500 digital logging unit. All drilling information is currently stored in a Gateway Access database. All information has been plotted on section and in plan to match against neighbouring holes and determine likely validity of the data QA/QC data is not currently available. Sampling and assay data are considered fit for purpose. |
| 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. |
• Drill hole location is initially recorded with a handheld Garmin GPS (+/- 3m) and will eventually be recorded by Digital GPs (+/-1cm). A Reflex EZ North Seeking Gyro is |

used to record the deviation of the drill holes (+/- 1deg) Historical Drilling: All information referred in this report not collected in this current program has been accessed through verifying historical company reports and/or available digital databases. A truncated AMG grid was established across the project area and hole collars were measure from fixed survey pegs. These collar locations have been validated using detailed aerial photography. Downhole surveys were undertaken with an Eastman single shot camera on intervals ranging from 30 to 50m. Location data is considered fit for purpose. |
|
| Data spacing and distribution |
• 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. |
• Refer to tables within text for data spacing. • Holes drilled within this program in combination with the historical holes and their related samples are deemed to be appropriate for resource estimation. Historical Drilling: All information referred in this report not collected in this current program has been accessed through verifying historical company reports and/or available digital databases. 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. Historical Drilling: All information referred in this report not collected in this current program has been accessed through verifying historical company reports and/or available digital databases. Drillingdirections at Whistler,Montague and Caledonian targets have been drilled |

| perpendicular to strike (90-270) and in the across dip direction in most cases. The majority of holes have been drilled at a 60 to 90 degree dip and intersected the mineralisation at an appropriate angle. In some cases reverse angled holes have been completed to test for short range controls on the gold mineralisation. The orientation of the drilling is suitable for the mineralisation style and orientation of the mineralisation at the Whistler, Montague and Caledonian Targets. |

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 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. |
• 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. |
22
| 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. |
