MONTAGUE GOLD PROJECT, WA
During the Quarter, Gateway reported a series of significant intercepts from in-fill Resource RC drilling at Julias, and a subsequent upgrade to the Project Mineral Resources following the completion of an initial Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Julias deposit.
The addition of the 77,000oz Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource at Julias boosted the overall Montague Project total Mineral Resources to 526,000oz gold. In addition, the Company undertook RC drill testing of strike extensions to its existing Mineral Resources, including at Montague-Boulder, Achilles, Evermore and a firstpass test of depth extensions to mineralisation mined historically at the Caledonian open pit. Results from these RC programs were pending at the end of the Quarter.
The Company continues to focus activities on prospective targets for near-term additions to the existing 526,000oz Mineral Resource at Montague[1] , within a 5km radius of the existing Mineral Resources.

JULIAS IN-FILL RC DRILLING
During the Quarter, Gateway report a series of outstanding high-grade assay results from in-fill Reverse Circulation ( RC ) drilling completed at its Julias oxide gold deposit.
RC drilling was carried out to provide regular data coverage across the 500m of strike length at the main Julias oxide zone. A total of 46 holes for 4,203m of RC drilling were completed over the Julias discovery, primarily targeting oxide mineralisation within the top 70m. Holes were designed to in-fill existing RC drilling to a nominal 25m x 25m drill pattern (Figure 3).
Consistent high-grade oxide mineralisation was returned from throughout the 500m of strike covered by drilling (Figure 3), largely within 70m of surface:
-
GRC796: 11m @ 6.0g/t Au from 58m
-
GRC781: 4m @ 6.1g/t Au from 30m GRC811: 8m @ 3.2g/t Au from 60m GRC845: 4m @ 4.0g/t Au from 57m GRC798: 4m @ 3.1g/t Au from 51m GRC797: 13m @ 2.6g/t Au from 71m GRC804: 10m @ 2.7g/t Au from 52m (Hole abandoned in mineralisation) GRC812: 11m @ 2.2g/t Au from 43m GRC789: 5m @ 2.6g/t Au from 55m GRC791: 6m @ 2.8g/t Au from 72m GRC795: 7m @ 2.8g/t Au from 36m GRC801: 7m @ 2.5g/t Au from 51m GRC794: 4m @ 2.0g/t Au from 56m GRC846: 22m @ 1.7g/t Au from 62m GRC799: 10m @ 1.8g/t Au from 72m GRC809: 4m @ 2.4g/t Au from 27m GRC872: 3m @ 4.2g/t Au from 70m, and 9m @ 1.7g/t Au from 81m
-
GRC802: 17m @ 1.0g/t Au from 99m

At Julias, high-grade supergene mineralisation is contained in a heavily weathered sedimentary and felsic volcanic rock sequence, associated with a moderately west-dipping gossanous quartz-breccia fault zone. The high-grade mineralisation is present at shallow depths, as shown in the schematic cross-section in Figure 4.
The oxide mineralisation is geometrically consistent and can be traced through the entire 500m of strike. Within the fresh rock, this fault zone presents as massive sulphide with quartz veining, however grade tenor is reduced and has not been pursued with this RC drill program.
Importantly, shallow intersections returned in holes GRC781 (4m @ 6.1g/t Au from 30m), GRC795 (7m @ 2.8g/t Au from 36m) and GRC809 (4m @ 2.4g/t Au from 27m) are completely open up-dip and represent prime targets for future RC drilling to establish a zone of mineralisation immediately below surface.

JULIAS MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE
Following on from the completion of in-fill RC drilling, during the Quarter, the Company reported an initial Mineral Resource Estimate ( MRE ) for the Julias deposit.
The addition of the Julias Mineral Resource brings the Global Mineral Resources for the Montague Gold Project over the key milestone of half a million ounces to 526,000oz Au (Indicated and Inferred – see Table 1).
The Julias MRE comprises a total of 1,908,000t @ 1.3g/t Au for 77,000oz (Indicated and Inferred) (see Table 2). This MRE is the culmination of the past 12 months of drilling at Julias by Gateway, which deliberately targeted the mineralisation contained within the oxide zone.
These additional 77,000oz have been added at a direct exploration cost of $9/oz, highlighting the attractive return from the discovery of near-surface oxide zone mineralisation, for which the Montague Gold Project is still considered to have excellent potential.
Importantly, the initial Julias MRE extends over a strike length of 500m as defined by recent RC drilling activity.
However, air-core drilling undertaken by Gateway during 2022 identified the extension of this mineralised structure for over 700m to the south-west (Figure 5), highlighting the clear potential to delineate extensions to this initial MRE with further RC drilling.
Two phases of air-core drilling have been undertaken on this trend, with the aim of extending the potential zone of mineralisation toward the nearby Flametree target area. Significant intersections over this 700m of strike include[2] :
GWAC1034: 4m @ 8.3g/t Au from 56m GWAC0965: 24m @ 1.4g/t Au from 16m GWAC1023: 5m @ 1.9g/t Au from 36m GWAC0961: 8m @ 1.3g/t Au from 32m GWAC1029: 8m @ 1.0g/t Au from 40m, and

==> picture [76 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
9m @ 1.0g/t Au from 84m GWAC1028: 7m @ 1.0g/t Au from 48m GWAC0957: 4m @ 1.4g/t Au from 16m
Air-core drilling by Gateway at the Flametree target area has identified a significant footprint of supergene gold mineralisation present in several horizons, with significant results including[1] :
GWAC0267: 5m @ 10.4g/t Au from 52m GWAC1056: 3m @ 5.4g/t Au from 51m GWAC0256: 4m @ 3.8g/t Au from 20m GWAC0247: 5m @ 3.8g/t Au from 23m GWAC1053: 4m @ 2.5g/t Au from 69m GWAC1070: 9m @ 1.0g/t Au from 64m
With these exciting oxide zone targets located in the immediate vicinity of the new Julias MRE, this area of the Project will continue to be an important exploration focus for the delineation of additional shallow oxide zone mineralisation in the immediate future.
The Montague Gold Project Mineral Resource has been updated to 10,073,000t @ 1.6g/t Au for 526,000oz Au, classified as Indicated and Inferred (Table 1) reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012).
This updated Mineral Resource represents an increase of 17% from the Mineral Resource announced on 14 December 2021. The updated Total Mineral Resource consists of the previously announced estimates for the Whistler, Montague-Boulder, Evermore and Achilles Nth/Airport deposits, and the addition of an initial Mineral Resource for the Julias deposit (Figure 2).
The Whistler, Montague-Boulder, Evermore and Achilles Nth/Airport Mineral Resources have not been reestimated as part of this process. Full details of the Whistler Mineral Resource are provided in the ASX Release dated 3 October 2019, and full details of the Montague-Boulder, Evermore and Achilles Nth/Airport Mineral Resources are provided in the ASX Release dated 14 December 2021. Ongoing exploration by Gateway is aimed at further growth in these existing deposits.
It should be noted that the Julias deposit is located on M57/427, which is a 75%:25% Joint Venture between Gateway and Estuary Resources Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Red 5 Ltd (ASX:RED)). As such, The Mineral Resource for Julias is presented below on both a deposit level, as well as a Gateway attributable level.

PROJECT CHANGE OF NAME
With the Project surpassing the milestone 500,000oz of total Mineral Resources, the Company made the decision to change the name to the Montague Gold Project.
The change of name was made not only to better reflect the key geological features in the area and the previous mining operations in the late 1980’s – early 1990’s, but also to remove potential confusion with other projects in the region, namely the former Gidgee Gold Mine which is located on the adjacent tenement package owned by Horizon Gold Ltd.
Between 1986 and 1993, five open pits were mined by Herald Resources Ltd, including those at Whistler and Montague-Boulder, with ore material treated on site by a small CIP/CIL processing plant (which has since been removed). This operation was known as the Montague Gold Operation, with the Montague Granodiorite being a key controlling feature of the mineralisation.
The Company anticipates that the change of name will better reflect not only the targeting of exploration activities, but also the underlying attributes of the styles and host of mineralisation present in the Project.

REGIONAL PROJECTS
Edjudina Joint Venture (Gateway 20%, Discovex Resources Ltd 80%)
During the Quarter, Discovex Resources Ltd (ASX: DCX) ( DCX ) announced details of an in-fill and extensional soil sampling program covering the highly encouraging Spartan anomaly at the 80:20 Edjudina Joint Venture, confirming the size and upgrading the tenor of the initial anomaly.
The Spartan Prospect is characterised by a 1.8km long >25ppb gold-in-soil anomaly, and now includes several +100ppb Au results, peaking at 544ppb Au (0.54g/t Au). In addition to the samples collected at Spartan, results were also received from a regional program which has highlighted an additional target area approximately 3.5km to the east, known as the Falcon Prospect. This target is characterised by a 2.6km long +15ppb Au anomaly that remains open to the north.
In addition to the soil sampling results, Discovex also announced the completion of a geophysical gravity survey covering the Joint Venture ground. This survey was carried out on a 200m x 200m grid spacing and confirmed the location of several intrusive units proximal to the Spartan anomaly. The results of this survey were used to refine an air-core drilling program, which was also commenced during the Quarter.
Bryah Basin Joint Venture (Gateway 15%, Auris Minerals Ltd 85%)
No work on the Joint Venture tenements was reported by Auris.
