GIDGEE GOLD PROJECT, WA
During the Quarter, Gateway updated its Total Mineral Resource for the Gidgee Gold Project, with a revised Mineral Resource for the Montague-Boulder deposit as well as maiden Mineral Resources completed for the Evermore and Achilles North/Airport deposits. In addition, an air-core program covering the early-stage Plymouth and Julias targets was completed, as well as a short Reverse Circulation ( RC ) program to test the strike extents of the Achilles North deposit, as well as the northern and north-eastern extensions to the Evermore deposit.
In addition, preparations were well advanced for several exploration programs planned to commence early in the January 2022 Quarter.
The Company has continued to pursue a strategy of undertaking discrete, focused drill campaigns at Gidgee to allow for the lengthy turnaround times being experienced at assay laboratories around Australia. This is a function both of COVID-related issues and the very high level of exploration activity at the moment.
Gateway believes that this strategy provides the best return on its exploration investment, allowing it to plan and execute drill programs in a cost effective manner while still advancing the Project rapidly.

MINERAL RESOURCE UPDATE
The Gidgee Gold Project Mineral Resource has been updated to 8,165,000t @ 1.7g/t Au for 449,000oz Au , classified as Indicated and Inferred (Table 1) and reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012).
This updated Mineral Resource represents an increase of 87% from the maiden Mineral Resource announced on 3 October 2019. The updated Total Mineral Resource consists of the previously announced estimate for the Whistler deposit, an updated estimate for the Montague-Boulder deposit, and maiden estimates for the Evermore and Achilles North/Airport deposits (Figure 2).
The new resource estimates for the Montague-Boulder, Evermore and Achilles North/Airport deposits were undertaken by Elizabeth Haren of Haren Consulting Pty Ltd, based on a drill database and mineralisation interpretations compiled by Gateway geological staff and Omni GeoX consultants.
The Whistler Mineral Resource was not re-estimated as part of this process. Full details of the Whistler Mineral Resource were provided in the ASX Release dated 3 October 2019.

JULIAS AIR-CORE DRILLING
During the Quarter, results were received from a 27-hole, 1,991m air-core program completed at the Julias target. Julias is located on a highly prospective litho-structural corridor approximately 5km to the west of the Mineral Resources of the Gidgee Gold Project and immediately north of the previously defined gold mineralisation at Flametree. The results continue to demonstrate the wider potential of the Gidgee Project, and support Gateway’s strategy of systematically developing and drill testing targets within this 5km radius.

Significant near-surface oxide gold mineralisation was intersected at Julias over a strike length of ~1.2km, building on and enhancing a series of significant historical intersections (Figure 3). Results include:
-
GWAC0971: 13m @ 4.0g/t Au from 30m
-
GWAC0972: 3m @ 7.2g/t Au from 26m GWAC0974: 14m @ 1.1g/t Au from 37m GWAC0978: 7m @ 1.6g/t Au from 22m; and 1m @ 8.6g/t Au from 41m
-
GWAC0965: 24m @ 1.4g/t Au from 16m GRC294: 17m @ 1.3g/t Au from 54m[1] GRC196: 14m @ 2.9g/t Au from 67m[2] GRC180: 25m @ 1.5g/t Au from 65m[3]
The results also extend towards the Flametree target zone, located approximately 500m along trend to the south, where significant zones of near-surface oxide gold mineralisation have previously been defined by Gateway.
Significant results include [4] :
GWAC0267: 5m @ 10.4g/t Au from 52m GWAC0256: 4m @ 3.8g/t Au from 20m GWAC0257: 9m @ 1.1g/t Au from 17m GWAC0247: 5m @ 3.8g/t Au from 23m GWAC0246: 3m @ 3.5g/t Au from 44m
The extensive zone of oxide gold mineralisation is located on a sheared contact between sedimentary siltstones and overlying volcanic-derived sediments. This coherent zone of mineralisation appears to correspond to a gossan representing a weathered pyrite-rich zone within the shear.
Existing geophysical datasets suggest that this corridor extends for a further 1.5km north along strike, with no effective drill testing. Extensional air-core drilling is planned to test this corridor to the north.
PLYMOUTH AIR-CORE DRILLING
During the Quarter, results were returned from an initial 91-hole, 6,888m air-core drilling program designed to test the Plymouth target, a large gold anomaly located 850m west of and parallel to the key Montague-Boulder to Evermore trend that was defined by fine-fraction soil sampling conducted in 2020.
Drilling intersected a wide shear zone within the basalt unit that hosts mineralisation at Montague-Boulder and Evermore, and associated volcaniclastic units. The weathered oxide zone at Plymouth averaged approximately 60m below surface, with weathering noticeably deeper over the shear zone, down to depths of over 100m below surface.
A coherent anomalous supergene gold “blanket” was intersected, at the base of the saprolite zone within the weathering profile. The saprolite anomaly was intersected over a 2km strike length (Figure 4) and remains open to the south. Several higher-grade intersections were returned, which is highly encouraging for first-pass air-core drilling. These intersections include:
-
GWAC0645: 10m @ 0.8g/t Au from 52m, including 4m @ 1.8g/t Au
-
GWAC0637: 12m @ 0.5g/t Au from 36m, including 4m @ 1.0g/t Au GWAC0644: 12m @ 0.4g/t Au from 48m GWAC0647: 6m @ 0.5g/t Au from 48m
In addition, a channel of surficial laterite style mineralisation was intersected across several traverses, correlating to gravels that have been the focus of historic dry blower activities.
Significant intersections were returned at surface in several holes, including:
GWAC0593: 12m @ 0.6g/t Au from 0m, including 4m @ 1.4g/t Au

ACHILLES NORTH REVERSE CIRCULATION DRILLING
During the Quarter, results were returned from a shallow 15-hole, 1,536m Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program designed to extend the strike coverage at the Achilles North target, a shallow zone of oxide gold mineralisation extending over 500m north of the historic Rosie open pit mine.
The mineralisation targeted by Gateway consists predominantly of oxide mineralisation broadly associated with the sheared margin of the Montague Granodiorite. Mineralisation persists at shallow depths, in places immediately below the thin layer of transported overburden (Figure 5). Several significant intersections were returned, including:
GRC733: 11m @ 1.1g/t Au from 2m, and 10m @ 1.2g/t Au from 43m GRC735: 5m @ 3.0g/t Au from 107m GRC725: 5m @ 1.2g/t Au from 25m
These results are consistent with those returned from previous drilling campaigns conducted by Gateway between 2018 and 2020[5] , which extended the unmined, near-surface extensions to mineralisation north of the historic open pit. Previously released intersections include:
GRC507: 14m @ 1.0g/t Au from 3m GRC508: 7m @ 2.5g/t Au from 61m, and 6m @ 1.5g/t Au from 45m GRC501: 4m @ 2.9g/t Au from 64m GRC446: 21m @ 2.1g/t Au from 32m GRC447: 13m @ 3.4g/t Au from 5m GRC430: 11m @ 3.0g/t Au from 32m
All RC results were utilised in the maiden Mineral Resource estimate for the Achilles North target, as detailed above. Further RC drilling will be conducted during 2022 with an aim of further extending the zone of mineralisation north.

EVERMORE NORTH REVERSE CIRCULATION DRILLING
During the Quarter, Gateway completed a 6-hole, 770m RC drilling program designed to test the northern and northeastern extents of the Evermore deposit, which was discovered by Gateway in 2020. The drilling focused both on extending the main host shear at Evermore to the north, as well as testing for extensions around the “nose” of the Montague Granodiorite towards the Whistler deposit (120,000oz Inferred Resource) to the east (Figure 6).
The drill program was completed on two separate drill sections. One section was drilled on a north-south orientation and was designed to test the “nose” of the granodiorite dome between Evermore and Whistler. The second, orientated east-west, was drilled to step-out 50m north of the previous extents of drilling to test the main moderatelydipping shear structure at Evermore.
==> picture [475 x 322] intentionally omitted <==
Figure (6): Oblique view towards north showing the “nose” of the Montague Granodiorite dome, highlighting the existing Montague-Boulder, Evermore and Whistler deposits and recent drill intersections
Diamond drilling completed by Gateway in 2021, part-funded by the WA Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme, indicated that the northern end of the granodiorite dome is plunging steeply to the south. As such, a section of RC holes orientated from south to north were drilled to adequately test this “nose” area. Excitingly, drilling intersected silicified and bleached granodiorite with trace pyrite-chalcopyrite sulphides, with the following significant intersections returned:
GRC717: 21m @ 1.7g/t Au from 132m including 2m @ 9.3g/t Au; and 3m @ 1.1g/t Au from 163m (EOH)
The entire northern end of the Montague Granodiorite remains an exciting exploration target, being a prime geological setting immediately proximal to two established gold deposits, and with the majority of drilling being shallow and orientated in an east-west direction.
In addition, a series of RC holes were drilled to step-out to the north of the previous limit of drilling on the main Evermore host structure. These holes were designed to scope the potential for shallow strike extensions to the current 67,000oz Inferred Resource. These holes successfully intersected the moderately west-dipping, biotite-altered shear zone within the western basalt sequence, and returned a significant oxide zone intersection of:
GRC718: 8m @ 1.8g/t Au from 42m
8
This intersection opens the northern strike extent of the Evermore deposit, where no drilling has been undertaken to sufficient depth to test for mineralisation (Figure 7). Further drilling to test the strike potential of the Evermore deposit will be undertaken in early 2022.

GIDGEE EXPLORATION FORWARD PLANNING
Preparations are underway for the re-commencement of exploration field activities in early 2022. Field programs have been designed to continue executing Gateway’s strategy of systematically testing targets within 5km of the Montague Granodiorite dome and its existing Mineral Resources (Figure 8).
A comprehensive drill campaign is scheduled to commence at the beginning of February 2022, which will comprise both RC and air-core programs designed to evaluate the near-term Mineral Resource potential of key targets including:
-
Julias/Flametree – Systematic RC drilling of established shallow oxide mineralisation.
-
Monarch – Maiden RC testing of an exciting 5.8km long gold-in-soil anomaly associated with historical underground workings and outcropping quartz veins of up to 18.7g/t Au[6] .
-
Kashmir – Follow-up RC drilling of this 2.5km long anomaly immediately north of the 204,000oz Howards deposit, owned by Horizon Gold Ltd (ASX: HRN).
-
Evermore – Additional RC drilling to test the northern and eastern extensions reported in this release, as well as in-fill areas of the Evermore deposit where existing data density is insufficient for estimation of a JORC (2012) Mineral Resource.
-
Julias North-east – Systematic air-core drilling directly along strike of the Julias mineralisation, where no drilling has historically been completed.
-
Monarch South – Comprehensive air-core drilling to evaluate the southern extents of the Monarch system, where transported overburden has made soil sampling ineffective.
