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.

MAJOR FOOTPRINT CONSOLIDATED WITHIN THE GUM CREEK GREENSTONE BELT

Gateway has established a major landholding within the highly prospective and under-explored Gum Creek Greenstone Belt through a series of low-cost deals

▪ Successful divestment strategy for non-core projects executed to sharpen focus on Gidgee.

  • Significant portfolio of 3[rd] party shareholdings and royalties accumulated

  • Project area now covers an area of approx. 1,000km[2] spanning the western and eastern sides of the highly prospective Gum Creek Greenstone Belt.

▪ Golden Mile Farm-in:

  • Host to a ~30km long major gold-bearing structural corridor (termed the “Woodley Domain”)

  • Third major identified gold trend within the belt after:

  • Eastern Montague Domain: +1Moz endowment

  • Central Gidgee Domain: +2Moz endowment .

  • Previous exploration highlights significant gold anomalism, which has only been followed up by rudimentary drilling, e.g.:

  • 40m @ 3.0g/t Au from surface *

  • 20m @ 2.5g/t Au from surface*

  • 24m @ 3.3g/t from surface *
