PLANNED EXPLORATION PROGRAMS
During the quarter ending 31 December 2024 ( Quarter ), Gateway provided a number of exploration updates consistent with its focus on extracting maximum value from its two large-scale exploration projects covering gold and copper-nickel-platinum group metals across the highly prospective Sandstone region of Western Australia (Figure 1). Both of these projects have low holding costs and are in an area with minimal impediments to land access.
Gateway plans to actively test these projects with high-quality, strategically planned exploration programs to determine their prospectivity.

BARRELMAKER GOLD PROJECT
The Barrelmaker Gold Project, located in the Sandstone region of Western Australia, represents a largescale exploration opportunity, encompassing more than 80km of prospective strike extent within the underexplored Gum Creek Greenstone Belt.
The Project has been subjected to historical exploration, however past drilling is considered to have been sub-optimal to test the mineralisation and historical results have been fully compiled during the Quarter.

Target Summary
The targeting process utilising the historical drilling database has identified at least 12 targets that require additional exploration. In addition, a number of large-scale structural corridors have been identified that require generative programs of systematic geochemical sampling and/or geophysics. A summary of each target is provided below.
Blacksmith Prospect
The Blacksmith Prospect is characterised by a large-scale soil geochemical and laterite anomaly (600m x 400m at a 200ppb Au cut-off). Follow-up drilling has demonstrated widespread gold anomalism but had limited effectiveness due to a depletion zone to approximately 40m.
Significant historic intersections include[2] :
WRC004 13 metres @ 1.4g/t Au from 41m GRB723 20 metres @ 1.8g/t Au from 35m (end of hole)
The mineralisation is untested at depth and is not constrained in any direction.
Kauri Prospect
The Kauri Prospect is located immediately south of Blacksmith and is likely part of the same gold mineralised system. Surface geochemical sampling and RAB drilling has identified gold anomalism over a strike length of approximately 1.2km. Structural controls have not yet been fully defined.
Highly encouraging is a series of bottom-of-hole intersections that remain untested. Results include[3] :
3720/1548 4 metres @ 1.3g/t Au from 16m (end of hole) 3840/1656 4 metres @ 2.5g/t Au from 36m (end of hole)
Kauri South Prospect
The Kauri South Prospect is focused on a series of historical prospector shafts and adjacent modern day scraping operations (excised tenement). Limited wide spaced RAB and RC drilling has intersected a series of anomalous structural zones that remain totally unconstrained.
Significant drill results include[4] :
3660/1472 11 metres @ 4.5g/t Au from 58m 3660/1480 12 metres @ 1.6g/t Au from 21m 3660/1488 9 metres @ 2.0g/t Au from 21m
Transit-Encino Prospect
Mineralisation is hosted in a sequence of mafic volcanic rocks in what is interpreted to be a WNW trending shear zone. Shallow RAB drilling has identified widespread anomalism over a least 1km (remains open).
Significant drill results returned from both RAB and RC drilling include[5] :
GRB660 22 metres @ 2.3g/t Au from 61m (end of hole) ENRC006 11 metres @ 1.2g/t Au from 53m GRB699 10 metres @ 3.2g/t Au from 65m
Maple Prospect
The Maple Prospect is located on the western margin of the project and is hosted by a sequence of interbedded banded iron formations (BIF’s) and mafic volcanic rocks. Maple is interpreted to be the northern extension of a larger target (as yet untested) that is based on the BIF dominated succession being “dragged” into the regionally significant Youno Fault.
Reconnaissance RC drilling testing a zone of soil anomalism returned[6] :

==> picture [76 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
MARC004 3 metres @ 2.4g/t Au from 61m MARC001 2 metres @ 1.0g/t Au from 54m
This zone of mineralisation is currently defined by limited drilling over 100m and remains open along strike and at depth.
Crater Prospect
The Crater Prospect is located on what is interpreted to be the southern extension of the Gidgie shear zone. Limited RAB drilling has intersected highly anomalous gold mineralisation on a contact between basalt, dolerite and ultramafic.
The significant intersections were returned from the deepest holes suggesting that a zone of depletion is present, and that the mineralisation remains totally unconstrained at depth.
Significant drill results include[7] :
GRB619 15 metres @ 1.9g/t Au from 48m (end of hole) GRB1069 5 metres @ 1.3g/t Au from 35m and 8 metres @ 1.3g/t Au from 55m (end of hole)
Seagull Prospect
The Seagull Prospect is defined by a widespread (>1000m) anomalism defined in RAB drilling. Subsequent RC drilling intersected gold mineralised structures in fresh rock. The mineralisation, which is hosted in a sequence of sediments, remains untested at depth and along strike.
Significant drill results include[8] :
3610/2280 9 metres @ 2.0g/t Au from 9m SGRC010 4 metres @ 1.0g/t Au from 70m
Woodley Ridge Prospect
The Woodley Ridge Prospect is located across a sequence of BIF, interbedded ultramafics and mafic volcanic rocks. Gold mineralisation has been intersected in two areas spaced ~3km apart.
Significant drill results include[9] :
SRC049 5 metres @ 1.4g/t Au from 0m SRC007 5 metres @ 3.2g/t Au from 54m SRC025 5 metres @ 1.3g/t Au from 109m
Grace Darling Prospect
The Grace Darling Prospect is defined by a soil geochemical anomaly and a series of historical shafts and pits over a strike length of 1.7km. This prospect area itself also lies within a ~14km trend of historical workings and is interpreted as the southern extension of the Gidgie shear zone.
The anomalism is located along a contact between sheared mafic and granitic rocks. There has been no drilling on this target.
Transit Gravity Feature
A distinct gravity high, magnetic low with an estimated 600m diameter has been identified to the immediate south of the Transit Prospect within an interpreted NE trending structural corridor. The feature is interpreted to be a discrete intrusion. There has been no drilling or surface sampling over the target area, and it appears to be located under shallow cover.
Bo Peep Prospect
The Bo Peep Prospect is a distinct granitic intrusion in the core of a doubly plunging antiform. Wide spaced RAB drilling (1km sections) to test under transported cover returned low-level, but significant drilling results (best result 4180/1825: 3m @ 1.3g/t Au[10] ).

5
==> picture [76 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
Given that the Montague granodiorite, located to the west, has a gold endowment of approximately 800,000oz, the Bo Peep Prospect presents as a significant target.
Northern Dancer Prospect
The Northern Dancer Prospect is centred on a series of old workings across a sequence of mafic volcanic rocks that were tested by limited, wide spaced RAB drilling. The drilling returned extensive low level gold and alteration.
Of most interest is a bottom-of-hole intersection of 6m @ 0.83g/t Au (WTR227)[11] that remains completely untested.
Youno Fault
The Youno Fault is a major NE-SW trending structural system that extends over at least 20km within the Barrelmaker Project area. The interpreted intersection of the Youno Fault with the Gidgie shear one is marked by the multi-million ounce Swan-Swift Gold System (Horizon Gold Limited).
The fault has not had any systematic programs of exploration and is largely under transported cover.
Barrelmaker Gold Project Work Programs
Programs of exploration will commence in early 2025 (subject to weather events) and will include:
-
Detailed field assessment of each target, with a particular focus on understanding structural controls.
-
Programs of soil sampling. The priority area will be across the Youno Fault.
-
In-fill airborne magnetic surveying to provide full coverage of high-quality, detailed data.
-
• Programs of aircore drilling.
MONTAGUE RANGE PROJECT
The Montague Range Project is located in the Sandstone region of Western Australia and is being explored for mafic-ultramafic associated nickel-copper-PGE deposits.
The gold rights within the project area were sold to Brightstar Resources in October 2024[12] , with Gateway having no ongoing holding costs or minimum expenditure requirements. In addition, Gateway has access to all Brightstar-generated exploration data.
Two high-priority targets have been defined at the Montague Range Project to date – the Apex and Flametree Prospects.
The Apex Copper-Nickel-PGE Prospect is associated with a large-scale mafic-ultramafic intrusion where mineralisation has formed through either magmatic sulphide emplacement or structural remobilisation.
Significant intersections from historical drilling at the Apex Prospect include[13] :
-
88MTP09: 31m @ 1.55% Cu, including 7m @ 5.7% Cu
-
▪ Z11132 13.7m @ 0.20% Cu and 0.10% Ni ▪ BR073: 16m @ 0.16% Cu ▪ BR118: 12m @ 0.29% Cu
Litho-geochemical studies are underway to determine metal fertility at the Apex Prospect, together with a review of recent structural analysis and geophysical datasets. A decision will then be made as to the next phase of exploration.

Figure (3): Montague Range Base Metals Project Location, Geology and Historical Drilling Results
The Flametree Prospect is located ~10km south-west of the Apex Prospect. Historical exploration identified extensive near surface copper mineralisation with possible VMS-SEDEX affinities. More recent work has identified a highly anomalous Cu-Ni-PGE mineral system that is considered likely to have maficultramafic intrusion affinities.
Historical copper results from the Flametree Prospect include[14] :
-
GDD003: 33m @ 1.35% Cu
-
▪ GRC183: 26m @ 1.17% Cu ▪ GRC200: 27m @ 1.42% Cu
Flametree Cu-Ni-PGE mineralisation results include[15] :
-
GRC1014: 1m @ 0.72% Cu, 0.41% Ni, 1.0g/t Pt+Pd from 195m 1m @ 1.00% Cu, 0.39% Ni, 1.2g/t Pt+Pd from 209m (EOH)
-
▪ GRC283: 4m @ 1.03% Cu, 0.44% Ni, 0.9g/t Pt+Pd from 137m

Figure (4): Flametree Prospect Geology and Drilling Results Summary
Planned work programs commencing in 2025 at the Flametree Prospect will include targeted RC drilling and associated DHEM surveys.
Gateway has also identified a series of large-scale Cu-Ni-PGE targets at depth at Montague Range. The 2- dimensional seismic survey completed in 2024 successfully highlighted a series of significant reflectors below the Montague Dome.[16] Interpretation of the data suggests the potential for intrusive sills and/or associated massive sulphides. Gateway will identify the best pathway to test these targets.
A series of Intrusive units have also now been mapped over a significant +7km corridor, with no previous magmatic Cu-Ni-PGE exploration ever undertaken.
On 18 December 2024, the Company announced that the assay results returned from the recently completed rock chip sampling program (n=252) across the Apex Copper-Nickel-PGE Prospect. The data is being fully integrated to help determine the metal fertility of the intrusion.
Follow-up field programs will assess anomalous results in further detail.
A number of samples have reported significantly elevated values[17] :

On 2 October 2024, the Company announced that the Transaction had been completed ( Completion ).
The Company retains 100% of all other mineral rights (excluding the Gold Rights) ( Other Mineral Rights ) in the Sale Tenements.
The Company also retains legal and beneficial ownership of the tenements which make up Montague West (including all mineral rights), which are not part of the Transaction.
As part of the Transaction, the Company received the following consideration ( Consideration ) for the sale of the Gold Rights within the Sale Tenements:
-
$5 million cash payable on completion of the Transaction; and
-
$7 million fully paid ordinary shares in Brightstar ( Consideration Shares ), comprising 466,666,667 Brightstar shares at an issue price of $0.015 per share.
The Company will also receive $2 million in fully paid ordinary shares in Brightstar ( Deferred Consideration ), upon the achievement of either of the following key milestones, being the commencement of commercial gold production at Montague East or the delineation of a 1Moz JORC compliant Mineral Resource at Montague East.
Completion of the Transaction was subject to:
-
(a) The assumption and assignment of the Company’s obligations under a number of existing joint venture, earn-in agreements and private royalties associated with the Sale Tenements, and subject to any consents being obtained and the waiver of any pre-emptive rights under these agreements; and
