Exploration Targets Cautionary Statement

  • This presentation may comment on and discuss Gateway Mining Limited’s exploration in terms of target size and type. The information relating to Exploration Targets should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. The potential quantity and quality of material discussed as Exploration Targets is conceptual in nature since there has been insufficient work completed to define them as Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. It is uncertain if further exploration work will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve.

  • Any Exploration Targets referred to in this presentation are not Mineral Resources. The Potential quantity and grade of the Exploration targets are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to determine a Mineral Resource. There is no certainty that additional exploration work will result in the estimation and reporting of Mineral Resources.

Seizing the Opportunity

==> picture [33 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

Gateway Mining is focused on systematic and costeffective exploration aimed at establishing a significant gold Mineral Resource base in one of WA’s emerging goldfields…

A Highly Prospective Gold Setting – With Minimal Drilling

==> picture [33 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

  • Analogous to several major gold camps in the WA goldfields:

~9km long major gold-rich shear zone along the western margin of the Granodiorite Dome

  • Highly prospective Eastern Margin not explored – Howards/Kashmir

  • Majority of previous drilling ineffective:

  • Only 10% of drilling >50m depth

▪ Strategy of defining a series of deposits within 5km of each other to establish a critical mass for project development

Four-pronged strategy to deliver Resource growth:

1. Extension of existing Resources from 1990’s oxide open pit mining:

  • Montague-Boulder –163,000oz Indicated & Inferred

  • Whistler –120,000oz Inferred (to be updated 2022)

2. Systematic, disciplined exploration leading to new discoveries:

  • Achilles North/Airport – 99,000oz Indicated & Inferred

  • Evermore – 67,000oz Inferred

3. Development of next generation of targets:

  • Julias, Kashmir, Monarch

4. Inorganic growth through identification of regional opportunities
