SIGNIFICANT NEW GOLD ZONE DISCOVERED ADJACENT TO CORNERSTONE MONTAGUE-BOULDER DEPOSIT

Thick zones of granodiorite-hosted mineralisation intersected in RC drilling, confirming a second mineralised structure below and along strike from existing 120koz Mineral Resource

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Significant new mineralised zone intersected in Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling within the granodiorite immediately adjacent to the existing 120koz Montague-Boulder Mineral Resource. Initial drilling in this area has returned highly significant intercepts of:

  • GRC583: 5 metres @ 2.7g/t Au from 115m (previously reported[1] )

  • GRC696: 7 metres @ 3.0g/t Au from 84m; and 7 metres @ 1.5g/t Au from 113m

  • The newly-identified structure is located immediately beneath the existing granodiorite-hosted Inferred Resource[2] and remains untested along strike to the north and south.

  • The results indicate the presence of a series of stacked lodes along the margin of the Montague Granodiorite. The drill spacing remains wide-spaced, providing the opportunity to rapidly expand this position with additional drilling.

  • GRC696 was drilled ~75m up-dip of the previously reported intersection in GRC583 and confirms the presence of continuous flat-lying mineralisation over a dip extent of at least 125m.

  • These results continue to build on Gateway’s recent success in identifying high-grade gold mineralisation hosted in multiple structures along the 2.5km long Northwest Margin of the Montague Granodiorite Dome.

  • The wide-spaced nature of the drilling highlights the potential scale of the mineralised system.

  • Final assay results from the recently completed RC and diamond drilling program are expected to be reported over the next two weeks.

  • Air-core drilling has also commenced, with planned programs to test several large targets across the Gidgee Gold Project, including further extensions to the Achilles South corridor.

Gateway Mining Limited (ASX: GML) ( Gateway or Company ) is pleased to advise that it has discovered a significant new gold mineralised position immediately adjacent to the cornerstone Montague-Boulder deposit at its 100%-owned Gidgee Gold Project in Western Australia.

The Company has received encouraging results from recently completed drilling designed to test for immediate extensions of the current 120,000oz Montague-Boulder Mineral Resource and to evaluate the potential for multiple stacked zones of mineralisation along strike and beneath the deposit.

The drilling was undertaken as part of the 91-hole 14,311m RC program and six-hole 2,550m diamond drilling program targeting the Evermore discovery and other prospective areas within the Northwest Margin target area at Gidgee, which was completed during May 2021 (Figure 1).

A full description of significant intersections received to date is included as Table 1, with drill program details documented in the JORC (2012) Table 1 included as Appendix 2.

KEY POINTS:

  • Reverse Circulation ( RC ) drilling within the margin of the granodiorite immediately adjacent to the existing Montague-Boulder Mineral Resource has intersected a significant new zone of thick high-grade mineralisation (Figure 2). Initial drilling in this area has returned highly significant intercepts of:

  • GRC583: 5 metres @ 2.7g/t Au from 115m (previously reported)[3]

  • ▪ GRC696: 7 metres @ 3.0g/t Au from 84m; and 7 metres @ 1.5g/t Au from 113m

  • The newly discovered mineralised structure is located immediately beneath the existing granodiorite-hosted Resource and remains untested along strike to the north and south (Figure 2). The quality of the mineralisation intersected in this drilling, and its close proximity to the current resource and optimised pit shell, provides the opportunity to significantly upgrade the Resource with additional drilling.

  • GRC696 was drilled ~75m up-dip of the intersection in GRC583, confirming the presence of multiple lenses of continuous flat-lying mineralisation over a dip extent of at least 125m (Figure 3).

  • The strength of the mineralisation also provides a strong vector down-dip to where the structure intersects the mafic lithologies. This position is considered to be an additional high-priority target for future drill testing.

  • Additional potential for shallow extensions to the granodiorite-hosted mineralisation has also been identified to the south of the current Resource and existing open pit. Recent drilling by Gateway[4] intersected significant shallow mineralisation in GRC623 (6m @ 1.3g/t Au) in an area of sparse historical drilling (including GRB1518: 8m @ 3.9g/t Au). There is significant potential to test this trend at depth for additional stacked lodes.

  • The continued success of Gateway’s exploration program at Gidgee continues to build the evolving story of the Northwest Margin of the Montague Granodiorite, which is clearly an emerging large gold mineralisation system hosted in multiple structures and lithologies.

  • Gateway’s exploration activities have now demonstrated the presence of extensive mineralisation along the entire 2.5km corridor, outside of the previously identified historic open pits. The extensive RC and diamond drilling programs completed since July 2020 have:

  • Successfully identified, and followed-up, high-grade mineralisation over a strike length of at least 420m at the new Evermore discovery, located ~1km along strike of the historic Montague-Boulder and Whistler open pits;

  • Intersected several new high-grade mineralised structures south of the Montague-Boulder open pit, associated with substantial historic surface workings that have only been lightly tested by previous explorers;

  • Demonstrated immediate strike extensions to mineralisation in the existing Montague-Boulder Mineral Resource; and

  • Identified parallel structures below these resource host structures, including these latest results highlighting the potential within the under-explored granodiorite immediately adjacent to the Montague-Boulder Mineral Resource.

  • Results are still outstanding from several RC holes drilled between the Montague-Boulder open pit and NE pit and around the Whistler open pit, as well as the remaining five diamond holes drilled at Evermore, and those completed as part of the EIS co-funded program.

  • Gateway will continue to compile and interpret the large dataset generated from this most recent drilling program, with a view to identifying targets for further drilling and delineating Mineral Resources.

MANAGEMENT COMMENT

Gateway’s Managing Director, Mr Mark Cossom, said: “Following hard on the heels of the exciting new Evermore results reported last week, the latest batch of assays from our recent 14,300m drill program has revealed a significant new mineralised position immediately adjacent to the 120koz Montague-Boulder resource.

“These new results extend a historic intercept some 125 metres down-dip, delineating a significant new thick gold zone that sits immediately beneath and adjacent to the existing Resource and historic pit. There is clear potential to expand this zone in both directions and to test the surrounding granodiorite for multiple stacked lodes.

“What is important to note is that our strategy of undertaking relatively wide-spaced drilling across the project has been incredibly successful, demonstrating the scale and potential of the mineralised system and giving us a number of areas that clearly require more tightly-spaced in-fill and follow-up drilling.

“In the meantime, as we await final assays from the recent RC and diamond program we have commenced a major new program of air-core drilling to test a major soil anomaly to the west of Evermore as well as several other targets.”

APPENDIX (2): MONTAGUE-BOULDER RC DRILLING JORC Code, 2012 Edition Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals
under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public
Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively
simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from
which 3 kg was pulverized to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold
that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation
types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

RC drilling (GRC prefix) - 2kg - 3kg samples were split from dry 1m bulk
samples. The sample was initially collected from the cyclone in an inline
collection box. Once the metre was completed the sample was dropped under
gravity thorough a Metzke cone splitter, with the 1m split for assay collected in
a calico bag.

The bulk reject from the sample was collected in wheelbarrows and dumped
into neat piles on the ground.

RC Field duplicates were collected at a ratio of 1:50 and collected at the same
time as the original sample through the B chute of the cone splitter. OREAS
certified reference material (CRM) was inserted at a ratio of 1:50. The grade
ranges of the CRM’s were selected based on grade populations and economic
grade ranges.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).

RC – Challenge Drilling drill rig was used. The rig consisted of a truck mounted
RC rig with on board compressor, an on board Booster, and a truck mounted
auxiliary compressor.
Drill
sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.

Measures taken to maximize sample recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse
material.

During the RC sample collection process, the sample sizes were visually
inspected to assess drill recoveries

The majority of samples were of good quality with ground water having minimal
effect on sample quality or recovery.

From the collection of recovery data, no identifiable bias exists.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc.) photography.

RC chips were washed and stored in chip trays in 1m intervals for the entire
length of each hole. Chips were visually inspected and logged to record
lithology, weathering, alteration, mineralisation, veining and structure.

Data on rock type, deformation, colour, structure, alteration, veining,
mineralisation and oxidation state were recorded.

Logging is both qualitative and quantitative or semi quantitative in nature.
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.
Sub-sampling
Techniques
and
sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether
sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ
material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being
sampled.

RC Samples were split from dry, 1m bulk sample via a cone splitter directly
from the cyclone.

The QC procedure adopted through the process includes:

Field duplicates were collected at a rate of 1:50, these were collected
during RC drilling at the same time as the primary sample.

OREAS certified material (CRM) was inserted at a rate of 1:50, the grade
ranges of the CRM’s were selected based on grade populations.

0.8-3kgs of sample was submitted to the laboratory.

Samples oven dried then pulverized in LM5 mills to 85% passing
75micron.

All samples were analysed for Au using the Au-AA26 technique which is
a 50g lead collection fire assay.
Quality
of
assay
data
and
Laboratory
tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory
procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the
parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.

Drill samples were submitted to ALS (Perth). All samples were analysed by a
50g fire assay (AAS finish) which is a total digest assay technique. Due to
industry-wide pressure on fire-assay capacity, some prepped samples were
transported to ALS Kalgoorlie for fire assay.

RC Field duplicates were collected at a rate of 1:50 with CRM’s inserted at a
rate of 1:50 also. The grade ranges of the CRM’s were selected based on grade
populations.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative
company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data
storage (physical and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Drilling results are cross checked by company geologists

Data is recorded digitally at the project within MicroMine Geobank software,
assay results are received digitally.

All data is stored within DataShed SQL Database.
Location
of
data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

Initial drill hole location is initially recorded with a handheld Garmin GPS (+/-
3m). A Reflex EZ North Seeking Gyro is used to record the deviation of the drill
holes (+/- 1deg). All collars were surveyed post-drilling utilsiing RTK-GPS.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Data spacing
and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree
of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and
Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Refer to tables within text for data spacing.

Hole GRC684 is considered to be of suitable spacing to previous drilling to be
included in any update of the Montague-Boulder Mineral Resource.

Holes GRC696 is not considered to be part of suitably spaced data to enable
inclusion in Mineral Resource estimation.
Orientation of
data in relation
to
geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.

The drilling was orientated perpendicular to the perceived strike of the
mineralised structures, with holes testing west-dipping structures in the mafic
and layered intrusive units drilled to the east. Inclined holes (-60°) are
considered to be appropriate to the dip of the mineralised structure creating
minimal sampling bias.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample security.

Calico samples are sealed into green/poly weave bags and cable tied. These
are then sealed in bulka bags and transported to the laboratory in Perth by
company staff or contractors or established freight companies.
Audits
or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

Drilling results are cross checked by company geologists

Gold was discovered in the district during the gold rush era, first records of
gold won from small-scale, high-grade workings include the Montague Mining
Centre (1904-13). Renewed interest in the late 1960's included base metal
exploration carried out within exposed stratigraphy of the Montague Ranges
(Bungarra Ranges), exploration interest that broadened with the release of the
Sandstone 1:250,000 aeromagnetic sheet in 1970 resulting in the staking of
favourable magnetic anomalies by exploration companies.

Early explorers in the Montague Ranges included Anaconda Australia Inc.
(1966-67), followed by International Nickel Australia (1971-75) evaluating a
Gabbro - banded differentiated basic complex believed prospective for copper
and/or nickel such as the Dulith Gabbro, USA. Strong geophysical and
mineralised anomalism was encountered, however, copper-zinc enrichment
was also encountered in adjacent felsic stratigraphy at Ed's Bore prospect,
which was followed-up by CRA Exploration (1983-1990) to intersect
polymetallic VMS enrichments at Bevan prospect (not substantively pursued).

At Montague, Western Mining Corporation (1976) conducted investigations for
copper and gold including soil sampling and IP surveying, which was followed
by CRA Exploration (1984-89) working concurrently with AMOCO Minerals
Australia Company (1984) and Clackline Refractories Ltd (from 1985 - to later
become Herald Resources) assessing/purchasing historic mine areas from Mr
W.J. Griffiths of Sandstone. RAB drilling penetrating transported cover resulted
in the virgin discoveries of NE Pit by AMOCO and Whistler deposit by CRA.
Later noted explorers included Dalrymple Resources NL (1987-1990)
intersecting gold at the Armada (Twister) prospect, and Arimco Mining (1990-
98) intersecting gold at Lyle prospect, Victory West prospect, and copper at
The Cup prospect (not substantively pursued).

The Montague Mining Centre produced approximately 150,000oz of gold
commencing in 1986 at Caledonian and NE Pits (Clackline), and continued at
Montague Boulder from 1988 (Herald), and was to close in 1993 after
completion of the Rosie Castle open cut (Herald). Whistler open cut was mined
from November 1990 (Polaris Pacific NL) and ore toll treated through the
Herald mill. Little attention was paid to mineralisation other than gold. Gateway
Mining in joint venture with Herald Resources continued exploration of the
MontagueMining Centre, Gateway also targeting poly-metallicintrusion

Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

Gateways’s Gidgee Project is located in the Gidgee district in the Archean
Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia approximately 630km NE of Perth and
70km north from the township of Sandstone on the eastern central portion of
the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt, of the Southern Cross Province.
Metamorphic grade of the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt is estimated to be low-
grade greenschist facies.

Project lithology includes basalt/ash tuff/dolerite/gabbro, the Montague
Granodiorite sub-volcanic intrusion (calc-alkaline - FI), dacite volcanic flow/s
(FI), volcaniclastic sequences of felsic composition and epiclastic
conglomerates, ultramafic intrusives and external orogenic granite plutons.
Key regional characteristics of a Volcanic Arc Extensional Basin include calc-
alkaline bimodal volcanic sequences associated with extensive iron
formations. Later ENE-WSW orogenic compression event is characterised by
NNW regional scale faults/unconformities, NNW shearing and folding, slaty
cleavage has developed within sediments near a tight syncline fold closure
within the NE area of the project.

o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of
the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information
is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of
the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths
and
intercept
lengths

These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be
a clear statement to this effect (eg‘down hole length, true width not known’).

The drilling was orientated perpendicular to the perceived strike of the
mineralised structures targeted. Inclined RC holes (-60°) are perpendicular to
the dip of the mineralised structure creating minimal sampling bias.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.

Appropriate maps are included in the announcement
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

The accompanying document is considered to be a balanced report with a
suitable cautionary note.
Other
substantive
exploration
data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical
and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.

The area has been covered by detailed ground gravity and airborne magnetic
surveys. The Montague Dome system was recently covered by a systematic
fine-fraction soil sampling program which highlighted a series of anomalies
corresponding to the mineralisation intercepted by this drilling.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions
or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the
main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially sensitive.

Further step-out RC and diamond drilling targeting the lower structure down
dip and along strike of high-grade gold intercepts. Potential systematic infill of
these results may be warranted to begin evaluation of the Mineral Resource
potential
