MONTAGUE GOLD PROJECT, WA
During the Quarter, Gateway announced a refreshed and expanded exploration focus for the Montague Gold Project for 2023, with a focus on step-change discoveries to accelerate growth in the existing 526,000oz[1] Mineral Resource.
This strategy will entail not only the continued targeting of shallow oxide gold mineralisation, but also deeper exploration targeting prospective zones beneath existing Mineral Resources and first-pass testing of targets generated in highly prospective, under-explored regions of the Project.

MONTAGUE GRANODIORITE DOME
MONTAGUE PROJECT 2023 EXPLORATION STRATEGY
During the Quarter, Gateway announced that it had embarked on a significant new phase of exploration activity in 2023 at the Montague Gold Project.
Exploration activities since 2018 have successfully demonstrated the presence of significant near-surface gold mineralisation, with Mineral Resources established below historic open pits mined in the early 1990’s at Montague-Boulder and Whistler and several new discoveries made in the local area around the Montague Granodiorite intrusion (see Figure 2).
On the back of this success, the Company is embarking on an ambitious exploration strategy in 2023 to evaluate the full potential of the 1,000km[2] tenure that makes up the Montague Gold Project. This strategy will comprise three main components:
-
Continued exploration for new shallow oxide deposits within 5km of the existing Mineral Resources.
-
Exploration of large-scale targets already identified by work completed to date, including the depth extensions of known mineralised structures; and
-
Identification of highly prospective un-explored targets within the broader Project tenure.
Strategic Targeting Study
To assist in the identification of prospective new targets, respected industry experts Model Earth Pty Ltd were engaged to undertake a Project-wide compilation and interpretation exercise of the structural geological controls on mineralisation and the existing geochemical database.
The aim of this study is to define the size potential of the entire Montague Gold Project by targeting areas away from the sites of historic gold mining that have not previously been subjected to modern gold exploration, particularly under cover.
This study will apply the enhanced knowledge and understanding of the mineralisation present in the Montague Gold Project gained through the past two years of systematic exploration, combined with supporting data in historic exploration results. Several areas of the Project remain largely unexplored, offering the potential for major discoveries.

==> picture [76 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
As shown in Figure 3, The Montague North target area is along strike of Gateway’s existing Mineral Resources and, along with several other existing deposits, has a combined current endowment of over 1Moz of gold.
However, broad areas of this mineralised structural trend north of the Montague Granodiorite is under transported cover and largely remains unexplored by modern exploration methods. Several exciting historic intersections along this major mineralised trend remain to be followed up, including[2] :
-
TTR0944: 4m @ 10g/t Au from 32m (EOH intercept)
-
TTRC439: 12m @ 1.0g/t Au from 76m
The Montague West target area covers the third major mineralised trend within the Gum Creek Greenstone belt, termed the Woodley Domain. Gateway currently has over 60km of this domain under tenure, with much of it not previously subjected to systematic modern exploration. Numerous historic drill intersections over 1.0g/t Au have been returned from this western-most trend with little or no follow-up work, including[3] :
-
3660/1472: 11m @ 4.5g/t Au from 58m (Arimco RAB hole)
-
GRB660: 22m @ 2.3g/t Au from 61m (Gateway RAB hole) GRB619: 13m @ 2.2g/t Au from 50m (Gateway RAB hole) 3660/1488: 9m @ 2.0g/t Au from 21m (Arimco RAB hole) WRC04: 23m @ 1.0g/t Au from 41m
The results of this strategic targeting study, combined with the existing targeting work completed by Gateway’s in-house geological team, will be used to delineate the highest priority regional targets for first-pass exploration during 2023.

==> picture [76 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
Work will also continue to explore depth extensions to current Mineral Resources around the Montague Granodiorite. As illustrated in Figure 3, over 230,000oz of existing Mineral Resources (plus historic production from several open pits) has been identified on the Caledonian-to-Evermore trend within 180-200m of surface.
The deepest drill-hole completed to date into this major gold-bearing structure is only 250m below surface ( GDD023 – 3.2m @ 5.0g/t Au ). In addition, the depth extensions of the Whistler deposit are still yet to be tested, with the geological sequence offset by a shallow dipping fault. Significant intersections at the base of the current Whistler Mineral Resource include[4] :
-
GRC343: 6m @ 14.5g/t Au from 198m
-
GDD012: 2m @ 9.4g/t Au from 250m
-
88MRD8A: 11m @ 5.6g/t Au from 208m
To assist in exploring for further large-scale mineralisation at depth within these gold-bearing structures, a series of seismic survey traverses will be completed in the June 2023 Quarter, designed to provide more accurate information on the orientations and geological relationships of the major structures at depth. The results of this work will be utilised in the design and execution of deeper diamond drill-holes in the second half of 2023.

CALEDONIAN RC DRILLING
During the Quarter, Gateway commenced Reverse Circulation ( RC ) drilling below the historic Caledonian open pit. This drilling is the first systematic program testing the entire strike length of the significantly mineralised Montague-Caledonian shear system below the pit, which was mined in the late 1980’s by Herald Resources Ltd.
This same shear system hosts the Montague-Boulder deposit, located over 1.3km to the north, where Gateway has successfully delineated a 163,000oz Indicated and Inferred Resource below the historic Montague-Boulder open pit.
This RC program was designed to follow up on initial testing undertaken in late 2022 by Gateway, where the first holes drilled into this structure returned[5] :
-
GRC1005: 13m @ 1.4g/t Au from 101m including 2m @ 6.4g/t Au
-
GRC912: 18m @ 0.5g/t Au from 106m
A series of RC drill sections were completed along this 1km of strike at Caledonian, testing for shallow-dipping, high-grade gold mineralisation similar to the Montague-Boulder deposit to the north. At the end of the Quarter, assay results from this drilling were still pending.
LITHIUM EXPLORATION FARM-IN AGREEMENT
During the Quarter, the Company announced that it had executed a Farm-in Joint Venture agreement with ASXlisted specialist exploration group SensOre Limited (ASX: S3N) ( S3N ) to evaluate and target the lithium exploration potential at its flagship Montague Gold Project in WA’s Murchison region ( Agreement ).

The Agreement was executed between Gateway, its wholly-owned subsidiary Gateway Projects WA Pty Ltd ( Gateway Projects ) and Exploration Ventures AI Pty Ltd (ACN 662 260 148) ( EXAI , a wholly-owned subsidiary of S3N) over selected tenements at the Montague Project.
Under the Agreement, EXAI will have the right to acquire up to an 80% interest in the lithium rights (and related by-products) within the Montague tenements listed in Appendix 2 ( Tenements ). Gateway will retain its existing rights to all other minerals within the Tenements, including precious and base metals.
SensOre Ltd is a geoscience technology disruptor which plans to utilise the proprietary SensOre DPT[©] artificial intelligence tool to generate targets within the tenements to explore for lithium. This exploration will be undertaken in parallel with Gateway’s ongoing gold exploration activities. To date, no lithium exploration activities have been undertaken at the Montague Gold Project.
Terms of Agreement
EXAI to acquire up to 80% of lithium rights only. Ownership of all other minerals within the Tenements to remain unaffected and will be owned by Gateway and Gateway Projects.
Where any conflict arises as to exploration activities within the tenements between Gateway and EXAI, the priority of exploration will be given to Gateway to conduct its exploration within the Tenements.
The Agreement consists of a three stage farm-in for EXAI to ultimately acquire 80% of the lithium rights (and related by-products) within the Tenements on the following terms:
-
(a) 18 month, non-withdrawal period with a minimum of $350,000 (excluding GST) exploration expenditure ( Minimum Expenditure Amount );
-
(b) Exploration expenditure of $1,500,000 excluding GST (with $750,000 of the expenditure to be direct drilling expenditure) within 2.5 years of the earn-in commencing to earn a 51% interest in the lithium rights within the Tenements ( First Earn-In );
-
(c) Exploration expenditure of a further $3,000,000 excluding GST (with $1,500,000 of the expenditure to be direct drilling expenditure) within 2 years of completion of the First Earn-In commencing the earn-in commencing to earn a further 29% interest in the lithium rights within Tenements ( Second Earn-In );
-
(d) The parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith and enter into a formal joint venture agreement as soon as practicable after EXAI earns the First Earn-In.
-
(e) Should EXAI earn both the First Earn-In and Second Earn-In, Gateway will have the option to clawback a further 10% interest in the lithium rights from EXAI, and Gateway will pay to EXAI cash consideration in the amount of 3 times the total expenditure paid EXAI within the Tenements during the earn-in period pro-rata to the 10% interest Gateway is entitled to acquire ( Clawback Option ).
-
(f) Provided Gateway does not exercise its Clawback Option, the remaining lithium rights held by Gateway will be free carried until a bankable feasibility study is completed in relation to lithium minerals.
EXAI will not earn or acquire any interest in the lithium rights to the extent that such rights (and all other mineral rights) are owned by Estuary Resources Pty Ltd ( Estuary ) who hold a 25% interest M57/485 and E57/793 ( Estuary JV Tenements ).
EXAI’s right to farm-in and acquire an interest under the Agreement is conditional on the following:
-
(a) EXAI completing satisfactory due diligence with respect to the Tenements and transactions contemplated in the Agreement; and
-
(b) Gateway giving EXAI written notice confirming Estuary waiving or not exercising its pre-emption rights in relation to the Estuary JV Tenements,
(Collectively, the Conditions ).

REGIONAL PROJECTS
EDJUDINA JOINT VENTURE (Gateway 20%, Discovex Resources Ltd 80%)
During the Quarter, Discovex announced that all composite assay results had been returned from a total of 188 AC holes completed at the Spartan Prospect, part of the 80:20 Edjudina Joint Venture with Gateway.
The first-pass reconnaissance drilling was completed in two phases, consisting of 37 holes in Phase 1 and 151 holes in Phase 2. Both phases were designed to test down to the fresh bedrock interface beneath and along strike of a 1.3km long +50ppb gold in soil anomaly at Spartan. Single metre re-splits were also received from anomalous (>0.1g/t Au) composite samples taken as part of phase one drilling.
Results confirmed that bedrock gold mineralisation was intersected, with significant results including:
-
SPAC016: 4m @ 1.24g/t Au from 82m, including 1m @ 3.42g/t Au from 82m
-
SPAC128: 1m @ 1.35g/t Au from 62m
-
SPAC026: 1m @ 1.06g/t Au from 74m
The elevated bedrock results have highlighted three high priority target areas including two coherent structural zones of anomalous (>0.1g/t Au) bedrock gold defined over strike lengths of ~650m.
Together with the bedrock mineralisation, significant gold was also intersected within transported overburden, with best results of:
- SPAC017: 8m @ 1.64g/t Au from 29m, including 4m @ 2.82g/t Au from 32m
The relationship between the significant accumulation of gold in transported cover and the bedrock gold at Spartan has not yet been resolved, however the identification of gold within sheared, altered bedrock is encouraging and provides targets for further follow-up. Confirmation of the extensive and significant accumulation of near surface gold at Spartan and the bedrock mineralisation beneath it highlights the broader prospectivity of the project area.
BRYAH BASIN JOINT VENTURE (Gateway 15%, Auris Minerals Ltd 85%)
During the Quarter, Auris informed Gateway that, following a strategic review, it was not looking to rationalise its landholding in the Bryah Basin. Following an unsuccessful sale process, Gateway agreed to surrender the two tenements comprising the JV and the JV was subsequently discontinued.
TENEMENTS
A list of the Company’s full tenement holdings held at the end of the Quarter are detailed in Appendix 1.
Two tenements were surrendered during the Quarter (Bryah Basin JV):
| Project | Tenement ID | Grant Date | Death Date |
