JUNE 2021 QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT

Highly successful 14,300m drill program generates outstanding results, confirming the scale of the gold mineralised system along the Northwest Margin of the Gidgee Granodiorite Dome

HIGHLIGHTS

  • 91-hole/14,311m Reverse Circulation (RC) and 6-hole/2,550m diamond drilling program completed, targeting the Evermore discovery and other prospective areas of the Northwest Margin at the Gidgee Gold Project.

  • Significant results continued to extend and enhance the Evermore prospect, discovered during Gateway’s 2020 RC drilling campaign north along strike from the Montague-Boulder Mineral Resource:

  • GRC651: 12 metres @ 5.6g/t Au from 78m, including 4m @ 13.2g/t Au

  • GRC711: 10 metres @ 2.8g/t Au from 101mGRC634: 23 metres @ 1.4g/t Au from 105mGRC639: 12 metres @ 1.7g/t Au from 122mGRC706: 2 metres @ 10.8g/t Au from 87mGRC637: 7 metres @ 1.7g/t Au from 114mGRC656: 7 metres @ 1.4g/t Au from 69mGRC633: 2 metres @ 4.1g/t Au from 111m

  • Drilling at Evermore has also revealed the presence of high-grade, steep easterly-dipping structures. Several holes were completed testing this orientation, with significant results including:

  • GRC635: 4 metres @ 10.1g/t Au from 132m

  • GDD018: 1.9 metres @ 22.4g/t Au from 151.4mGRC710: 2 metres @ 3.3g/t Au from 139m

  • Visual observations from the intercept in GDD018 highlighted the presence of coarse visible gold.

  • Further systematic drilling between the historic Montague-Boulder and Northeast open pits returned several high-grade intersections within newly-defined steeply-dipping zones of mineralisation:

  • GRC679: 26 metres @ 2.1g/t Au from 64m, including: 5 metres @ 7.9g/t Au from 76m

  • GRC671: 4 metres @ 4.5g/t Au from 32m; and 2 metres @ 5.9g/t Au from 11m

  • RC drilling down-dip of the shallow Northeast pit (last mined in 1992) intersected a significant new zone of mineralisation, demonstrating the potential of this position:

  • GRC661: 9 metres @ 2.6g/t Au from 59m

  • Gateway’s concerted drilling effort over the last nine months has identified a broad gold system in an area away from historical mining activities, with a series of high-grade domains delineated within at least two structural orientations.

  • These high-grade domains can be further defined and expanded with follow-up drilling to tighten the drill spacing and underpin the definition of new JORC compliant Mineral Resources.

GIDGEE GOLD PROJECT, WA (GML: 100%)

During the Quarter, Gateway completed a major Reverse Circulation ( RC ) and diamond drilling campaign primarily targeting high-priority prospects on the Northwest Corridor of the Montague Granodiorite. A total of 91 RC holes for 14,311m and six diamond holes for 2,550m were drilled, with the program completed during May 2021. While assay turnaround was slow, several significant intercepts were returned from the high-priority Evermore prospect, as well as from systematic drilling south of the Montague-Boulder open pit toward the historic Northeast open pit.

In addition, preparations were well advanced for several exploration programs planned to commence early in the September Quarter.

MONTAGUE GRANODIORITE DOME

EVERMORE PROSPECT

During the Quarter, significant intersections were reported from several batches of assays from holes drilled at the Evermore prospect, located 1.6km north along strike from the 120,000oz Montague-Boulder Inferred Mineral Resource[1] . Holes had been planned to target the newly-identified differentiated mafic-ultramafic unit that is interpreted to have intruded along the western margin of the Montague Granodiorite dome as well in-fill drilling around several significant high-grade intersections returned from the 2020 RC drilling campaign[2] :

  • GRC630: 7 metres @ 11.7g/t Au from 97m

  • GRC550: 15 metres @ 3.0g/t Au from 104m and; 10 metres @ 9.2g/t Au from 140m

  • GRC538: 10 metres @ 2.5g/t Au from 114m

Results received to date have been encouraging, with significant zones of high-grade mineralisation returned from within the targeted shear zone hosted by the differentiated mafic-ultramafic unit:

  • GRC651: 12 metres @ 5.6g/t Au from 78m, including 4m @ 13.2g/t Au

  • GRC711: 10 metres @ 2.8g/t Au from 101mGRC634: 23 metres @ 1.4g/t Au from 105mGRC639: 12 metres @ 1.7g/t Au from 122mGRC706: 2 metres @ 10.8g/t Au from 87mGRC637: 7 metres @ 1.7g/t Au from 114mGRC656: 7 metres @ 1.4g/t Au from 69mGRC633: 2 metres @ 4.1g/t Au from 111m

The main host structure is a moderately west dipping shear zone, approximately 2-15m true width, that cross-cuts the granodiorite, differentiated mafic-ultramafic and the western basalt sequence. This structure is interpreted to be parallel to the series of shears within the basalt unit that hosts most of the mineralisation within the Montague-Boulder Mineral Resource to the south, termed the Montague Shears.

The outstanding new intercept of 12m @ 5.6g/t from 78m in hole GRC651 is located approximately 200m south of the previous southernmost intersection in GRC630 (7m @ 11.7g/t from 97m). This has extended the known strike of high-grade mineralisation to over 420m and remains open to the north and south (see Figure 2). Interpretation of geological data from the RC drilling program indicates that this structure is still open to the south and north of current intersections.

In addition, observations made during diamond drilling identified the presence of steep easterly-dipping controlling structures to mineralisation at Evermore. Several holes intersected these structures and returned significant mineralisation:

  • GRC635: 4 metres @ 10.1g/t Au from 132m

  • GDD018: 1.9 metres @ 22.4g/t Au from 151.4mGRC710: 2 metres @ 3.3g/t Au from 139m

The diamond core intersection in GDD018 has provided an excellent visualisation of this style of mineralisation. The host structure is characterised by the development of a series of ~0.3m wide, steeply east-dipping quartz veins. Mineralisation in these veins includes visible gold (see Figure 3) and associated pyrite and chalcopyrite sulphide development, as well as the presence of a rare bismuth sulphide mineral, bismuthinite.

The presence of copper and bismuth sulphides, as well as elevated tungsten and molybdenum is a signature consistent with that observed at the Whistler and Montague-Boulder Mineral Resources. This common pathfinder signature further supports Gateway’s interpretation that the mineralisation present on the Northwest Margin of the Montague Granodiorite is part of a significant, interrelated gold system.

MONTAGUE BOULDER PIT TO NORTHEAST PIT SYSTEMATIC RC DRILLING

During the Quarter, the Company released significant intersections returned from systematic RC drilling between the historic Montague-Boulder and Northeast open pits at Gidgee. These holes were completed as part of the broader RC and diamond drilling campaign completed along the Northwest margin of the Montague Granodiorite Dome during the Quarter.

Drilling between Montague-Boulder and the Northeast open pit consisted of a series of nominal 80m spaced sections targeting the southern continuation of the moderately dipping Montague shear zone that hosts the majority of the mineralisation at Montague-Boulder. This strategy is the same as that implemented north of Montague-Boulder, which resulted in the discovery of the Evermore Prospect. Recent observations and high-grade results from Evermore have also highlighted the importance of the steep-dipping controls on mineralisation.

A total of 25 holes for 4,154m of RC drilling were completed between Montague-Boulder and the Northeast pit, as well as one EIS diamond hole for 588.9m. At the end of the Quarter, assay results are still pending for seven holes.

The targeted moderately dipping shear zone was intersected in most holes, with a significant intersection returned down-dip of the Northeast open pit:

GRC661: 9 metres @ 2.6g/t Au from 59m

The recently completed EIS hole GDDD023 is interpreted to have intersected the depth extensions of the moderatelydipping Montague Shear at a depth of over 200m below surface, demonstrating that this is a significant mineralised fluid pathway. Assay results for this EIS hole are pending. Mineralisation within this moderately-dipping shear north of the NE open pit appears to be disrupted by an interpreted north-east trending fault. Mineralisation is present within the shear around this fault but is patchy and inconsistent. Assays from several holes testing this shear closer to the Montague-Boulder Mineral Resource are still pending.

Significant mineralisation was returned from two holes on sections spaced approximately 360m apart. This mineralisation is located above the moderately-dipping shear system and correlates with lines of historic workings situated along a steep-dipping structure with quartz veining (see Figures 5). Significant intersections include:

GRC679: 26 metres @ 2.1g/t Au from 64m, including 5 metres @ 7.9g/t Au from 76mGRC671: 4 metres @ 4.5g/t Au from 32m; and 2 metres @ 5.9g/t Au from 11m

Mineralisation is hosted within chlorite and biotite altered shearing, with associated quartz veining and disseminated pyrite. Due to the steep-dipping nature of the mineralisation, it remains relatively untested by holes drilled in this campaign. Historic drilling around the old workings has been sporadic, with shallow holes positioned directly under around old shafts, and very shallow (~1m deep) vertical holes along strike to the north. Further drilling to follow-up on this newly defined mineralisation will be planned for a future RC program.

ONGOING EXPLORATION

At the end of the Quarter, field crews had remobilised to site in preparation for the commencement of a ~20,000m air-core drilling campaign, scheduled to commence during the first week of July 2021.

Air-core drilling will test several major target areas, including continuation of the Achilles South air-core pattern to the southern tenement boundary. Drilling will also test the major gold-in-soil anomaly located immediately to the west of the Evermore prospect, which was generated by the fine-fraction soil sampling program completed in August 2020[3] .

In addition to air-core drilling, a major ground gravity survey is scheduled to commence in early July 2021. This program will complete gravity coverage across the Gidgee Gold Project’s entire tenure, including those tenements that form part of the Golden Mile farm-in/JV.

If item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, please provide answers to the following questions:

Answer: The Company does not expect to continue at the same level of net operating cash
outflows outlined in the June 2021 quarter. Expenditure on future exploration is
largely discretionary and is dependent on available cash.
8.8.2
Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further
cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it
believe that they will be successful?
Answer: Based on current planned expenditure, the Company expects to have sufficient
funds for its activities over the next two quarters. The Company has full capacity
under Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A should the Company require funding and has a
high degree of confidence in its ability to raise funds when required.
