DECEMEBER 2018 QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES AND CASH FLOW REPORT

GIDGEE GOLD PROJECT, W.A. Summary

  • Outstanding results were received subsequent to the end of the quarter from in-fill and extensional Reverse Circulation drilling completed during December 2018 at the Whistler and Montague Gold Deposits, part of Gateway’s 100%-owned Gidgee Gold Project in WA[1] .

  • Drilling at Whistler will now lead to the estimation of a maiden Mineral Resource. Results include (see Appendix 2 for details):

    • GRC0346 21 metres @ 5.30g/t Au from 149 metres

    • GRC0354 15 metres @ 4.51g/t Au from 119 metres

    • GRC0364 8 metres @ 6.04g/t Au from 190 metres

    • GRC0343 6 metres @ 14.5g/t Au from 198 metres

    • GRC0356 26 metres @ 2.61g/t Au from 126 metres

    • GRC0355 18 metres @ 2.85g/t Au from 114 metres

    • GRC0345 32 metres @ 1.21g/t Au from 125 metres

    • GRC0344 8 metres @ 1.10g/t Au from 103 metres

    • GRC0353 11 metres @ 1.78g/t Au from 100 metres

  • The results have confirmed the quality of the mineralisation immediately below the historical Whistler Open Pit and provide strong indications of high-grade extensions at depth.

  • The next phase of work at Whistler will include the estimation of a Mineral Resource, with a particular focus on immediate extensions from the base of the existing open pit, continued evaluation of the deeper potential through a program of diamond drilling, and the commencement of preliminary metallurgical and geotechnical test work.

  • In addition to the main mineralised zone at Whistler, a series of new targets have been identified in both the hanging wall and footwall that will require additional evaluation.

  • At the Montague Gold Deposit a series of high-grade intersections from drilling completed in late 2018 has confirmed the presence of a significant high-grade gold mineralised structure immediately down-dip of the historical Montague open pit. Montague is located 1.2km south of the recently announced results from the Whistler Deposit.

  • Results from this program of Reverse Circulation drilling (RC) include (see Appendix 2 for details):

  • GRC357 5 metres @ 11.5g/t Au from 104 metres

  • GRC358 2 metres @ 5.80g/t Au from 75 metresGRC342 9 metres @ 4.24g/t Au from 89 metresGRC330* 7 metres @ 3.91g/t Au from 70 metres (within 15 metres @ 2.10g/t Au) and; 4 metres @ 24.1g/t Au from 239 metres (“Gordon’s Lode”)

  • GRC325* 5 metres @ 4.47g/t Au from 70 metresGRC360 3 metres @ 2.16g/t Au from 64 metresGRC361 7 metres @ 1.56g/t Au from 78 metres

  • The mineralised shear zone extends from the immediate base of the historical Montague Open Pit and demonstrates clear potential for significant extensions as it remains open down-dip and along strike.

  • All drilling intersections to date are in shallow positions, within 100m of the surface.

  • The parallel, deeper “Gordon’s Lode” structure remains open in all directions and highlights the potential of the wider Montague gold system to host multiple, significant zones of very high-grade gold mineralisation.

  • Significant potential also exists to expand the zones of remnant gold mineralisation in the base of the shallow historical pit. These zones have the potential to be captured in any future cut-back of the open pit.

  • A program of step-out RC drilling has been planned to test the extensions of the mineralisation. Subject to permitting, this program will commence before the end of the current quarter.

Gateway Mining Limited (ASX: GML) ( Gateway or Company ) is pleased to report that outstanding new drilling results have been returned from the most recent program of in-fill and extensional drilling at the Whistler and Montague Gold Deposits, within its 100%-owned Gidgee Gold Project in Western Australia (Figure 1).

This drilling was designed to provide sufficient information beneath the historical open pits to either undertake the estimation of a maiden Mineral Resources, and/or to evaluate the potential for high-grade extensions at depth. The program has been successful in achieving both objectives.

  • The drilling has confirmed the presence and distribution of significant zones of thick, high-quality, gold mineralisation that remains open both at depth and along strike. The recent results include (Figures 2 and 3):

GRC0346 21 metres @ 5.30g/t Au from 149 metres

  • While the mineralisation remains open and is yet to be constrained, the Company has decided to undertake an interim maiden Mineral Resource estimation with a particular focus on understanding the potential to undertake a cut-back on the existing open pit. Additional drilling is expected to expand the resource at depth and along strike.

  • In parallel with the resource estimation process, preliminary programs of metallurgy and geotechnical evaluation will be instigated. The resource is scheduled for completion by the end of the current quarter and drilling will also commence during this time.

  • A program of diamond drilling is currently being designed to continue testing the down-dip extensions to the highgrade mineralisation. This will include a series of new holes and also the completion of drilling four diamond tails to pre-collars completed in the recent work (Figure 2). The diamond tails are required due to the depth limitations of RC drilling due to water inflows.

  • The new information has also provided important information on the structural parameters that control the plunge of the mineralisation and the positioning of the off-setting fault through the southern end of the deposit. This understanding allows for future drill targeting to be further optimized.

  • A series of parallel gold mineralised structures have been identified in the hanging wall and footwall of the main mineralised zone at Whistler. Additional work is required to establish the ultimate significance of these positions, but they demonstrate the greater endowed potential of the Whistler mineralised system.

MONTAGUE GOLD DEPOSIT

  • This recently completed program of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling continues to confirm the presence of a significant high-grade gold mineralised structure immediately down-dip of the Montague historical open pit. The recent results include (Figures 4 and 5):

  • GRC357 5 metres @ 11.5g/t Au from 104 metres

  • GRC358 2 metres @ 5.80g/t Au from 75 metres

  • GRC342 9 metres @ 4.24g/t Au from 89 metres

  • GRC330* 7 metres @ 3.91g/t Au from 70 metres (within 15 metres @ 2.10g/t Au) and; 4 metres @ 24.1g/t Au from 239 metres (“Gordon’s Lode”)

  • GRC325* 5 metres @ 4.47g/t Au from 70 metres

  • GRC360 3 metres @ 2.16g/t Au from 64 metres

  • GRC361 7 metres @ 1.56g/t Au from 78 metres

(* Previously reported results – see ASX announcement dated 10 July 2018)

  • The mineralisation remains open down-dip and is largely untested along strike. Additional drilling is considered likely to substantially expand the mineralised zone.

  • °

  • • The mafic-hosted shear zone has a moderate dip (30–45 ), resulting in a significant amount of the mineralisation being located in shallow positions (<100m to date). In addition, the presence of the parallel, high-grade Gordon’s Lode ( 4m @ 24.1g/t Au ) at depth, indicates that the potential for multiple structures is excellent.

  • Mining of the historical Montague Open pit was limited to shallow, oxide mineralisation. Extensions of the mineralisation into primary fresh rock in the base of the pit have not been systematically tested (Figure 3). On this basis, Gateway believes that significant potential exists to expand these zones of remnant gold mineralisation with additional drilling for inclusion in any future cut-back of the open pit.

4

  • Given that the mineralisation is totally unconstrained and appears to be strengthening at depth, a decision has been taken to complete an additional round of drilling to expand the zone prior to committing to any Mineral Resource estimation work. This will also include a diamond tail on an existing RC pre-collar to further test Gordon’s Lode at depth.

  • A second phase of preliminary metallurgical test work comprising accelerated cyanide partial leach assays (2kg Leachwell Assays: see Appendix 2 for details) has also now been completed for the mineralised intersections at both Whistler and Montague. The results provide clear evidence that the gold at both deposits is free milling in nature.

REGIONAL PROJECTS

There has been not been any exploration activities on the Company’s regional exploration projects during the reporting period.

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 22 October 2018 the Company announced that it had successfully completed a capital raising of A$1.5 million (before costs) ( Placement) to institutional, professional and sophisticated investors to underpin the upcoming drilling program at the Gidgee Gold Project.

The Placement, which comprised the issue of 100,000,003 shares at an issue price of $0.015 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 underpinned recent exploration programs at the Gidgee Project as part of the Company’s recently announced exploration and resource development strategy in relation to highly prospective gold prospects outlined on the margin of the Montague Granodiorite.

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.

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 current program 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 accountfor a recognized coarsegold 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.).

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.

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.

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.

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
Weighing both calicos and reject sample to determine sample recovery and
check for sampling bias.
o
Field duplicates were collected at a rate of 1:25, these were collected
during RC drilling at the same time as the primary sample.
o
OREAS 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.

Quality control for maximising representivity of samples included sample weights,
insertion of field duplicates and laboratory duplicates.

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 historial 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 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.
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.
Drilling directions 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.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.

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.
