■ Large-scale gold system in a well-endowed gold region

■ Known shallow oxide mineralization:

  • 150,000oz mined from shallow pits in the 1980s but no deep drilling

==> picture [115 x 107] intentionally omitted <==

■ Virtually untested by modern exploration techniques or technology:

Previous owners were successful despite barely scratching the surface

■ Targeting high-grade gold in major shear systems on the margin of the granitoid intrusion

Gidgee Gold Project

  • Associated granite-hosted sheeted veins and stockwork mineralization

  • Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide (VHMS) deposit potential

Gateway’s strategy is in line with the highly successful approach implemented at many well-known but under-explored WA gold projects

  • Gidgee Project comprises a core position over the highly endowed Archaean Greenstone Belt (~2Moz)

  • Consolidated ground-holding of 600km[2]

  • Located immediately adjacent to Gum Creek Gold Project, being developed by Horizon Gold (ASX: HRN):

  • 17.3Mt at 2.25g/t Au for 1.25Moz[1]

  • Well-developed infrastructure throughout the region

  • Targeting large-scale gold systems analogous to:

  • Granny Smith (+2Moz: Gold Fields)

  • Tarmoola-King of the Hills (2.3Moz: RED 5)

  • Minimal systematic exploration historically

■ Exposure to the Laverton Tectonic Zone

  • 30km strike of greenstone sequence immediately along strike from a major gold deposit

Gateway is expanding an extensive, quality asset base in WA’s premier mineral belts, underpinned by an advanced high quality gold project at Gidgee

  • A new growth opportunity in the WA gold sector following consolidation of the Gidgee gold tenure

  • A Tier-1 address for gold exploration, development and mining

  • Proven gold endowment as evidenced by historical mining and drilling

  • Virtually no modern, systematic exploration – and no drilling at depth

  • Prospective geology for large-scale gold system with multi-million ounce potential

  • Initial metallurgical tests show the ore is free-milling

  • Potential for significant VHMS copper discoveries in addition to gold

  • Aggressive drilling campaigns commencing in March 2018 targeting extensions of known mineralisation

Gateway is aiming to systematically build a gold resource base at Gidgee capable of sustaining a mid-tier scale gold business
