June 2024 Quarterly Activities Report

New magmatic Copper-Nickel-PGE target zone Identified at Flametree and Board refresh to drive growth

HIGHLIGHTS

Exploration

  • Site preparation works commenced ahead of the next phase of Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at the Duplex discovery, with drilling designed to follow-up previous significant results.

  • Diamond drill-hole GDD027 completed at the Flametree Cu-Ni-PGE target to test a 12,550S FixedLoop EM survey (FLEM) anomaly located south of previously announced Cu-Ni-PGE sulphide intersections in Reverse Circulation drilling.

  • Subsequent down-hole EM (DHEM) survey outlined a strong off-hole conductor developing beyond the end of the hole.

  • Planning and permitting underway for an air-core drill program to map the highly prospective mafic-ultramafic intrusion to inform targeting of further diamond drilling.

  • Results also received from the Montague Range soil geochemical sampling program, which successfully highlighted the layered mafic-ultramafic stratigraphy along strike.

  • Areas of significant copper anomalism, coupled with historical shallow Cu-Ni-PGE results, provide exciting new targets for exploration.

Corporate

  • $1.2 million share placement underpinned by major shareholders as well as Gateway Directors.

  • Board refresh to ensure a strong, well balanced and experienced senior leadership team to oversee the next phase of exploration at the Montague Gold-Base Metals Project as well as broader business development opportunities.

MONTAGUE PROJECT, WA

During the quarter ending 30 June 2024 (Quarter), Gateway announced a series of exploration updates, as well as ongoing studies consistent with its focus on extracting maximum value from Montague through the application of high-quality exploration to make significant new discoveries and enhance the existing deposits.

DUPLEX DISCOVERY

During the Quarter, the Company announced that field staff had been mobilised to commence site preparation works for a new round of Reverse Circulation ( RC ) drilling at the new Duplex discovery. Duplex is located approximately 3.5km south of the cornerstone 163,000oz Au Montague-Boulder Mineral Resource, along the western margin of the Montague Granodiorite Dome (see Figure 1).

RC drilling completed to date has identified coherent gold mineralisation within the host gabbro unit at Duplex over 250m of strike. Several intersections have been returned from this drilling, including:

GRC1022: 18m @ 5.0g/t Au from 103mGRC1021: 12m @ 1.1g/t Au from 94mGRC1033: 10m @ 1.1g/t Au from 106mGRC1032: 6m @ 1.1g/t Au from 106m

This mineralisation is accompanied by a distinctive alteration consisting of magnetic depletion of the gabbro unit. This distinct negative magnetic anomaly can be traced in existing airborne magnetic geophysics over an additional 500m further to the north, with historical air-core hole GWAC0453 intersecting 14m @ 0.5g/t Au at the end of hole, including 4m @ 1.1g/t Au[1] at the very northern extent of this trend (see Figure 2).

The planned RC program will test this additional northern strike extent of approximately 500m and will also test below the existing high-grade result returned in GRC1022 of 18m @ 5.0g/t Au (see Figure 3).

MONTAGUE COPPER-NICKEL-PGE EXPLORATION

Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, the Company reported the results from recent diamond drilling and subsequent down-hole EM surveying at Flametree, which resulted in the definition of a significant new magmatic copper-nickel-PGE target, as well as fine fraction soil sampling across the Montague Range mafic-ultramafic intrusive unit (see Figure 4).

FLAMETREE TARGET DIAMOND DRILLING AND DOWNHOLE EM SURVEY

Flametree is an emerging mafic-ultramafic intrusive-hosted copper-nickel-PGE target identified through a review of exploration undertaken in the area by Gateway in 2013/2014. Previous interpretation of the extensive oxide-zone copper occurrences at Flametree centred on a VHMS-style mineralised system. However, one hole drilled into the unoxidized target area (GRC283) intersected an ultramafic unit and associated copper-nickel-PGE mineralisation within massive sulphides, with assays returning a significant intersection of 4m @ 1.03% Cu, 0.44% Ni, 0.9g/t Pt+ Pd, 426ppm Co from 137m .[2]

A subsequent series of ground EM surveys, including a fixed-loop time domain survey (FLTEM) highlighted a significant EM anomaly at depth in the vicinity of this intersection, but further drilling at the time failed to follow-up on this result..

Recent reinterpretation of the regional geology based on a two-dimensional seismic survey suggested that the regional dip of the stratigraphy is to the east, and that historic follow-up drilling of GRC283 and targeting the FLTEM anomaly had subsequently been drilled in the wrong location. In December 2023, Gateway drilled RC hole GRC1014 to confirm the easterly dip of the stratigraphy and mineralisation and returned sulphide mineralisation within an intrusive mafic-ultramafic package, with significant Cu-Ni-PGE intersections of 1 m @ 0.72% Cu, 0.41% Ni, 1.0g/t Pt+Pd, 840ppm Co from 195m and 1m @ 1.00% Cu, 0.39% Ni, 1.2g/t Pt+Pd, 756ppm Co from 209m (EOH)[3] .

Following the success of RC hole GRC1014, Gateway planned a single diamond drill-hole (GDD027) to test the reinterpreted anomaly generated by the historic FLTEM survey (Figure 6), based on the revised understanding of the regional geology. This hole was located approximately 450m south-east of the previous RC drilling.

Hole GDD027 was completed to a depth of 548.8m and intersected a thick basalt unit overlaying a volcanosedimentary rock sequence of conglomerates, shales and volcaniclastics containing variable amounts of sulphides (pyrite+pyrrhotite). The targeted host mafic-ultramafic intrusion was also not intersected and, as such, the source of observed sulphide mineralisation hosted in the two RC holes (GRC283 and GRC1014) located 200m to the north is still open. The southern strike extent of the unit and mineralisation intersected in these two RC holes is still untested for over 700m, with a mafic-ultramafic unit and Cu-Ni mineralisation indicated in historic hole GRC306 (see Figure 5).

Following the completion of drilling, a down-hole EM (DHEM) survey crew was mobilised and successfully surveyed the hole. The data generated by this survey was compiled and modelled by the Company’s consultant geophysicists.

This modelling process highlighted the fact that, although significant zones of sulphide were intersected by GDD027, the conductance of these zones, being composed primarily of pyrite+pyrrhotite, was not sufficient to explain the strength of the anomaly generated by the historic FLTEM survey. In addition, the DHEM data indicated that there was a significant off-hole anomaly building at the end of the hole within the sedimentary rock package (Figure 6).

This off-hole EM anomalism is not consistent with the logged geology, and indicates a potential conductor located further to the west of the current drill-hole. However, this potential off-hole conductor was not able to be modelled effectively based on the current DHEM data.

==> picture [76 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

Interpretation of the geology based on the historic drilling as well as GDD027, in conjunction with the processing of the DHEM data, suggests that the targeted mafic/ultramafic intrusive unit is located further to the west of hole GDD027. This position remains as a primary target for the source of copper-nickelPGE sulphides intersected by RC drilling. Additionally, the indications of an off-hole conductor in this position, further to the west of GDD027, is extremely encouraging.

Combined with indications of mafic/ultramafic in historic RC and air-core drilling to the south (Figure 6), this presents as a potential +700m target zone, with confirmed presence of copper-nickel-PGE sulphidehosted mineralisation.

In order to progress this target, a comprehensive air-core program is planned to map the mafic- ultramafic intrusive unit between existing intersections in RC drilling and allow for the planning of future diamond drilling to test the potential source of copper-nickel-PGE sulphides.

MONTAGUE RANGE FINE-FRACTION SOIL GEOCHEMISTRY

In addition to ongoing work at the Flametree Cu-Ni-PGE target, first pass fine-fraction soil geochemical sampling was completed at the Montague Range mafic-ultramafic intrusive unit, located approximately 8km north of the Montague Granodiorite Dome (see Figure 4).

Sampling was carried out on 400m x 50m sample spacing, with all samples analysed for an extensive multi- element assay suite. The sampling program was highly successful, with the data received highlighting the potential of this emerging Cu-Ni-PGE target area:

  • Assays have mapped out prospective mafic-ultramafic units particularly through Ni and PGE responses (see Figure 7).

  • Coupled with this, discrete areas of copper anomalism have been identified, which present as highly encouraging target areas, as the increase in copper response relative to the Ni-PGE lithological response suggests a potential mineralisation source.

  • As illustrated in Figure 8, several historic shallow drill holes have intersected Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation within the oxide zone, further elevating the exploration potential of this complex.

  • This has elevated the prospectivity of this mafic-intrusive complex as a potential host for Cu-NiPGE mineralisation.

  • Limited effective electrical geophysical surveys have been carried out on the area, and largely focused on the volcanic interface in local stratigraphy (based on targeting VHMS-type mineralisation).

Following these highly encouraging results, the Company plans to engage consultants who specialise in these mafic-ultramafic hosted deposits to undertake detailed mapping of the intrusive system. This mapping will aim to identify the geometry of the intrusive system and identify prospective zones to be followed up with electrical geophysical surveys as well as possible stratigraphic drilling.
