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.

old la in the Murchison District The emerging g p y
==> picture [33 x 33] intentionally omitted <==
Systematic approach to discovering and growing Resources within the Company’s single major project at Gidgee:
1. Extension of existing Resources from 1990’s oxide open pit mining:
- Montague-Boulder and Whistler – 240,000oz Inferred Resource to be extended and upgraded
2. Systematic, disciplined exploration leading to new discoveries:
- Evermore, Achilles North, Airport estimates in progress
3. Development of next generation of targets:
- Kashmir, Monarch
==> picture [452 x 340] intentionally omitted <==
4. Inorganic growth through identification of regional opportunities
Gateway Mining is aiming to systematically establish a significant gold Mineral Resource base in one of WA’s emerging goldfields…
