100% GBM Gold Projects
Mount Coolon Gold Project, Queensland
In January GBM announced the signing of a binding Share Sale Agreement (“SSA”) with Drummond Gold Limited (ASX: DGO) where GBM would acquire a 100% interest in all of the issued capital of Mt Coolon Gold Mines Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of DGO by the issue of 50,000,000 ordinary fully paid GBM shares and $850,000 cash. This transaction was completed during April (see ASX release dated 13[th] April 2015). The Mt Coolon project area is located 250km west of Mackay in Queensland in the northern Drummond Basin. The Drummond Basin is an established gold mining region with past production of more than 4.5 Mozs and a total known gold endowment of over 7.5 Mozs of gold. Depositstyles range from bonanza grade epithermal veins (eg. Pajingo 3.0 Mozs), to bulk tonnage intrusive related gold deposits (eg. Mt Leyshon 2.1 Mozs).
The tenement package includes four granted Mining Leases, three granted exploration permits and one exploration permit application covering a total area of 761 km[2] . These tenements are summarised in the table below. Independent review of these tenements confirm that all are in good standing and key mining licences have recently been renewed until 2024.

Exploration & Mining History
Gold was first discovered in the district in 1912 and hard rock mining began in 1915 at Police Creek (near the current township of Mount Coolon). Mount Coolon Gold Mines was established in 1930 to work a contiguous group of five mine leases centred on the Koala mine. Underground production began in 1932 at Koala and stoping extended over a length of 525m to 140m below surface. Treatment was by very fine grinding, cyanidation, precipitation using zinc dust, followed by roasting and smelting. Mining continued until 1938, when grades became uneconomic. Ore dumps were cleaned up and treated in 1939. The operation closed in 1940 and the leases were surrendered. Total recorded production from 1914-1939 was 179,460 oz of gold bullion from 303,400 tonnes of ore treated, for an average recovered grade of 18.4 g/t Au.
Modern exploration and development initially focussed on the Koala mine lease, held variously by Saracen Minerals, Renison Limited, ACM Gold Ltd and Poseidon. In the late 1990’s Ross Mining trial mined by open cast methods at the Koala mine, recovering 47,000oz Au at a head grade of 5.53 g/t and a recovery of 98% until ground conditions halted production.
Ross joint-ventured the project with Newmont (then Normandy) focussing on the Eugenia and Verbena Sinter prospects.
Drummond Gold Limited acquired the tenements in 2006.
Geology & Mineralisation
The tenement package is located on the western margin of the eastern arm of the Drummond Basin, proximal to the contact of the Late Devonian to Early Carboniferous Drummond Basin with the Anakie Inlier. The Anakie Inlier is a north-trending basement block of greenschist facies metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks of Neoproterozoic to Lower Cambrian age. The Drummond Basin has developed both east and west of the Anakie Inlier, extending for 450km north-south and 100 to 150km east-west, and contains up to 7,600m of Middle Devonian to Early Carboniferous sedimentary and volcanic rocks.
Duval Mining discovered the Pajingo low-sulphidation epithermal system in the northern Drummond Basin in 1983, and identified the Scott Lode in November 1984. Scott Lode was mined from 1987 to 1993, followed by the Vera-Nancy underground vein system from 1994 to present. This find triggered a stampede of interest in the potential for nearsurface epithermal gold mineralisation in this previously neglected area. Subsequently, the Wirralie and Yandan lowsulphidation epithermal gold deposits were discovered and mined, along with the Koala and Glen Eva open cut mines located within EPM 15902. Other epithermal deposits within EPM 15902 that have not yet been developed include the Eugenia, Verbena Sinter and Golden Bar prospects. In addition, a cupriferous skarn at Midway Dam (TPM Prospect) near Mount Coolon township shows interesting potential as an intrusion-related gold deposit.
Glen Eva is an epithermal low sulphidation quartz-adularia-pyrite gold vein system located in the basal sequence (Cycle 1) of the Drummond Basin. Mineralisation occurs under the pit as colloform and crustiform quartz veins within hydrothermal brecciated dacitic volcanics. The system is structurally complex with several episodes of mineralisation. The lode is between 3-6m in true width, is continuous for 330m of strike and is intersected in drillholes at vertical depths up to 120m below surface. A typical high level bonanza fissure vein, the significant sinter volume suggests significant depth continuity and size potential beyond the current drilling extent.
The mineralisation at Koala and nearby Golden Bar and Footwall Reef prospects is considered to be part of the same epithermal system, hosted within volcanic and sub-volcanic andesitic rocks of the basal Drummond Basin Cycle 1 sequence. A well-developed vertical zonation indicates the mineralisation is open to depth and along strike to the south.
Eugenia mineralisation is hosted by a quartz latite ignimbrite beneath thin Tertiary Suttor Formation sediments. Outcrop is sparse but where present occurs as gold-bearing quartz-pyrite breccia. Vein textures and geochemistry indicate that the mineralisation is low-sulphidation epithermal in nature
. The potentially high grade feeder (‘bonanza’) zone of this system has not yet been identified and there is significant potential to upgrade the current resource if it is found.

Resource
Mount Coolon Gold Mines have published resources containing a total of 283,000 ounces of gold (these resources are tabulated below). The inventory is comprised of three deposits of which the largest, Eugenia contains 63% of the total defined resource is considered to be of immediate potential by GBM. Eugenia (previously referred to as Police Creek) is considered to represent the upper levels of a low sulphidation epithermal system. Mineralisation is hosted by quartz veins and sulphide stringers and breccias forming a broad mineralised zone dipping gently to the west. Mineralisation is hosted by a thick dacitic ignimbrite unit. The area is extensively covered by shallow, post mineralisation sediments beneath which potential to extend the deposit with further drilling exists. In addition, to date no feeder zone has been identified and potential exists for the discovery of high grade fissure veins through further exploration.

Future Work
The Mount Coolon Gold Mines acquisition provides an opportunity to rapidly upgrade the confidence levels of the key Eugenia resource, and to quickly add further resources from known project areas. This upgraded resource base will provide the foundation to investigate near term production options, including from heap leaching of oxidised ores at Eugenia. GBM will evaluate a range of funding options to progress the Mount Coolon holdings. These options may include approaching companies with which we are developing strong relationships, capital raisings or a combination of these and other funding options.
Mount Morgan Copper –Gold Project
Exploration Results relating to the Mt Morgan Copper-Gold Project were previously reported pursuant to JORC 2004: This information has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.
Following the re-logging of historic core last quarter from Limonite Hill prospect and the confirmation of porphyry alteration, mineralization and vein styles at the prospect, an airborne magnetic-radiometric survey was commissioned and flown during the March quarter.
The survey comprised over 4,400 line kilometres at 50m line spacing and approximately 30m terrain clearance. The survey parameters were designed to produce high definition of the numerous magnetic low anomalies distributed throughout the Permian Bajool Diorite complex. The magnetic lows are interpreted to result from magnetite destruction associated with porphyry-style hydrothermal alteration. Analysis of the historic core from Limonite Hill supports this conclusion.
At least 13 discrete mag lows are present within the complex, most of which are concealed beneath a thin veneer of Quaternary cover sediments(see photograph below). Wherever outcrop occurs within these mag low features (less than 5% of the total area from historic mapping), it displays classic porphyry system signatures and is anomalous for Cu-Mo +- Au mineralization. A number of magnetic high anomalies have also been defined from the recent survey and these may represent skarn or replacement mineralization in reactive host rocks at the margin of the porphyry intrusives.
A structural interpretation of the magnetic data (RTP and Analytic Signal) indicates a complex intrusive history of pulsed phases and cross-cutting boundaries, hornfelsing of host rocks, and a complex fault pattern including a number of large through-going shear zones. Some of the more significant magnetic low anomalies are associated with interpreted structural intersections, loci for emplacement of mineralized porphyry stocks or apophasis.

Forward Program
Early next quarter will see consultant global porphyry specialist, Greg Corbett, complete a review of GBM’s Mt Morgan project, focusing on the porphyry potential within the company’s tenement holding. Included within the scope of the assessment will be an analysis of the Mt Morgan deposit for porphyry characteristics, synthesizing this with knowledge from GBM’s exploration activities over the last seven years to produce a project-scale deposit model and refined exploration strategy.
The Mount Morgan Project is centred 40km south west of Rockhampton in Queensland in close proximity to the world class Mt Morgan Gold/Copper deposit which produced in excess of 8.0M ounces of Au and 400,000 tonnes of Cu metal. The existence of a deposit of this scale in isolation is extremely rare in mineral districts around the world, and GBM considers that on a statistical basis alone, there is a high probability that a number of previously un-mined or underexploited gold-copper deposits exist within the region. Interestingly, the second largest recorded gold producer in the area, the Mount Usher Mine with 30,000 ounces of recorded production is included within the boundaries of GBM’s new licence application.
GBM is now the beneficial holder of nine granted tenements in the area, Dee Range, Boulder Ck, Bajool, Black Range, Smelter Return, Limonite Hill, Limonite Hill East, Mt Hoopbound and Mt Victoria. One tenement, Mountain Maid is still in application.
Project status was approved in May 2014 over seven of the nine granted licences. These include Dee Range, Boulder Ck, Black Range, Smelter Return, Limonite Hill, Limonite Hill East and Mt Hoopbound (Bajool and Mt Victoria were still in application when Project Status was approved). The tenement group, including applications, covers an area of approximately 860 square kilometres.

Fault interpretation from RTP and Analytic Signal (AS) data indicates many mag low anomalies are associated with fault intersections and dilatant structural settings.
Priority targets for further work have been defined on a range of features including; soil, rock-chip and historic drilling, Cu-Au + Mo anomalism, presence of porphyry or IRGS alteration assemblages in surface rocks, geophysical signature, prospective host rocks, structural setting or proximity to Mt Morgan orebody, and size potential.
On this basis a number of key targets have been identified for further exploration including: Smelter Return, Limonite Hill and other buried targets within the Bajool Project, Sandy Creek and Oakey Creek and the Mt Gordon porphyry system.

GRAPHITE PROJECTS, Queensland – GBM 100% INTEREST
Milo Project – Graphite Mineralisation
A December quarter review of the Milo REE project indicated extensive areas of graphitic shale were present within the REE and Cu envelope. A reconnaissance rock-chip sampling program returned high-grade TGC (Total Graphitic Carbon) up to 23.2% TGC and re-assaying of existing drilling sample pulps returned a 45m intersection above 10% TGC peaking at 25.7% TGC (reported previously).
A suite of rock-chip and drilling samples were sent for petrographic analysis and grain-size determination. Results showed that the graphite at Milo is generally very fine grained (5-70 micron), often amorphous, occurring at grain boundaries or as inclusions within quartz or feldspar. Whilst assay results and potential volumes are encouraging, the fine grain size downgrades the graphite prospectivity at Milo. As a result, no further work is planned at Milo or the company’s other graphite prospect, Sevastopol, located north-east of Cloncurry at this time.
LUBUK MANDI GOLD MINE PROJECT, MALAYSIA – GBM 30% INTEREST
(Refer ASX announcements 26 November 2013, 31 January 2014, 25 February 2014, 12 May 2014 and 23 June 2014 for Lubuk Mandi JORC 2012 disclosures). The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant market announcement and the form and context of the announcement have not been materially modified.
The Lubuk Mandi Gold Mine is located on the east coast of the Malaysian Peninsula in the state and Sultanate of Terengganu, approximately 7 km south of the state capital city Kuala Terengganu. Gold was discovered in 1989 at the site and initially worked as alluvial deposits along a 2 km strike length prior to hard rock mining at Lubuk Mandi. A CIP/CIL plant operated between 1993 and 1999, producing over 107,000 ounces of gold and approximately 11,000 ounces of silver. All mining was by open pit methods.
GBM’s Malaysian Joint Venture partners are working to develop the Lubuk Mandi Mine to a sufficient scale to incorporate this operation into a new Company to be listed on the Catalyst Board of the Singapore Stock Exchange.
As reported in the company’s ASX release dated the 8th of April 2015, the first gold pour has demonstrated that the process and equipment was functioning as planned. It was also noted in this release that the plant was moving to operate on a continuous basis during the June Quarter, with mining on day shift at a sufficient rate to supply the mill around the clock. While this remains the objective, mechanical availability, key staffing appointments and design modifications remain to be rectified before this objective can be achieved.
The Lubuk Mandi plant is designed initially to treat 300,000 tpa at an average head grade of 0.7g/t Au (based on resource published in GBM’s 2014 annual report, see table below). While there are still some design modifications to be completed, performance during commission confirms that the plant can operate at design capacity. Many components of the plant have been designed with contingency to double throughput to 600,000tpa, and gold production to an estimated 9,000 ozs per annum.
Early investigations by GBM (in association with process specialist group Core Resources) identified flotation as holding the potential to significantly beneficiate tailings material at Lubuk Mandi. Subsequent testwork confirmed that flotation could effectively concentrate over 90% of the gold remaining in tailings at Lubuk Mandi into a concentrate of around 10% of the original tailings mass. This allowed economic treatment and gold extraction. Flotation is achieving high recoveries (+90%) and is the technical key to unlocking value at Lubuk Mandi.
Mining is currently progressing with a conventional excavator and dump truck fleet with plans to modify this approach in deeper levels of the tailings deposit and as the wet season approaches. Production levels during commissioning are reported to have achieved design throughput.
Initial indications are that the head grade of tailings is in line with resource estimates and that recoveries are approaching forecast based on laboratory test work. Flow sheet development testwork completed in January 2013 indicated that overall recoveries of 71% should be expected. Results obtained during commissioning confirm that these predicted recoveries are achievable.

The mine staff includes many local employees, some of whom have experience in the previous operation at Lubuk Mandi. Mine staff have recently been supported by Core Resources during commissioning. Training of operators and procurement of suitably qualified technical staff is ongoing.
Commissioning of the Lubuk Mandi tailings treatment plant is a major step forward for AASB as it moves towards developing a positive sustainable cashflow to assist in further development of the Lubuk Mandi Gold Mine, and to explore other opportunities in Peninsular Malaysia.

Mount Isa Region Copper Gold Projects
Pan Pacific Copper/ Mitsui Farm-in Projects
During March the company received confirmation that our partners had approved the exploration budget and proposed program outline for the year to 31 March 2016 on the Farm In Projects, this in line with the long term project expenditure schedule. This major Farm In Agreement with multinational companies Pan Pacific Copper and Mitsui Corporation is now commencing the final year of an initial six year farm-in period.
The exploration budget for the year ending 31 March 2016 is approximately $2.2M. Under the Farm-in Agreement, Pan Pacific / Mitsui, through their co-established Australian subsidiary Cloncurry Exploration and Development Pty Ltd (“CED”), can spend up to A$55 million on the development of new copper–gold exploration and mining projects in northwest Queensland to earn 90% in the projects.

Figure: Location map showing Farm-in Areas.
Activity Overview:
Work during the quarter focussed on prospect ranking, program planning and budget development for the 2015 field season. A structural and prospect review by consultants Solid Geology Pty Ltd for the CED JV project was received during the quarter. This review produced a number of useful targeting concepts that fed into the program planning process.
During February, analysis of drill core structural measurements and assay data from diamond holes completed last year on the Bungalien and Mt Margaret projects was undertaken. Field crews mobilised to Cloncurry late March to begin preparations for the 2015 field season.
Bungalien Project
Tenements: EPM 18207, Bungalien 2; EPM 18208, Horse Creek 2; EPM 17849, Limestone Creek; and EPM 25213, ‘The Brothers’.
The Bungalien project is located adjacent to the major Pilgrim Fault within the Mount Isa Block Eastern Fold Belt. The Proterozoic basement lies beneath up to 500m of Georgina Basin cover rocks and is dominated by felsic volcanics, mafic volcanics and quartzite intruded by a large pluton and associated stocks of Wimberu Granite. The Wimberu Granite is a member of the 1550-1500Ma Williams Batholith plutonic suite which has a close spatial relationship to copper-gold mineralisation in the Eastern Succession. Nearby to the west of the project area lie the Trekelano (Cu-Au) and Tick Hill (Au) deposits, and to the east the Mount Dore mineralised corridor which contains past and producing Cu-Au deposits including Starra, Mount Dore, Mount Elliot, and the Merlin Mo-Re deposit.
Due to the depth of cover, exploration at Bungalien has been driven by the acquisition and interpretation of geophysical data. Eight deep diamond drill holes have been completed at Bungalien since program inception, all targeting potentialfield or electrical geophysical anomalies. All drill holes have intersected IOCG-style alteration (magnetitie-Kspar-albiteactinolite-carbonate) and a number have returned significant low-grade mineralised intercepts.
Bronzewing Bore & The Brothers Prospects
The proposed program for 2015 includes drill testing at least one of three defined targets. The three targets were identified based on the latest constrained 3D inversion models of magnetic and gravity data. The figure below shows a depth slice through the magnetic inversion model with corresponding gravity contours.
Proposed hole Prop_01 targets an intense magnetic anomaly with offset gravity response; ‘The Brothers’. An attempt to test this anomaly was made previously with BNG003, however very low magnetic susceptibility throughout the drill core to end of hole indicates the magnetic anomaly was not intersected. Basement in this hole was altered Wimberu Granite.
The second proposed hole is planned to intersect a previously untested magnetic anomaly which forms part of the main Bronzewing Bore magnetic ridge. This anomaly is likely part of the same magnetite-sulphide -bearingIOCG alteration system intersected in holes BNG001 and BNG008.
Proposed hole Prop_03 is planned to test down plunge the Cu-Au mineralization intersected in BNG001-008 at Bronzewign Bore. Mineralisation is hosted by magnetite-actinolite-apatite breccias best developed at the contacts of Wimberu Granite and older mafic volcanics. Structural analysis of mineralized veins in drill core and cross-section interpretation suggests the breccia system plunges shallowly to the NNW parallel to the long axis of the magnetic anomaly. The cross-section below shows the interpretation, concept model and planned hole trace.

Mount Margaret West Project
The Mount Margaret group of tenements consist of Mt Malakoff Ext (EPM 16398) Dry Creek (EPM 18172) Dry Creek Ext (EPM 18174) Cotswold (EPM 16622), Mt Marge (EPM 19834), Tommy Creek EPM 25545 and Corella EPMA 25544.
The Mount Margaret tenements are in an area of shallow cover (<100m) over Proterozoic rocks that include the host to the nearby Ernest Henry Cu-Au-magnetite mine. A number of named IOCG prospects are located within the CED JV tenements and these have been explored by other companies to varying degrees. Exploration by the CED has been focussed on examining the historical work (drilling, geophysics, soil sampling) conducted by companies such as Chevron, BHP, WMC, MIMEX and Xstrata with the aim to identify gaps in the previous exploration efforts and to delineate and explore new areas that remain untested (e.g. FC2_West).

An IP survey program (200m x 200m dipoles) for the 2015 exploration season was planned during the quarter. The survey is designed to infill and extend the existing survey completed during the 2014 field season. IP lines will test for chargeability response within the parallel magnetic belts at FC2W and within an area of elevated MMI partial leach soil anomalism in the NW corner of FC2W.
The survey line locations are shown in the image below. A total of 4 new lines are proposed to cover areas not surveyed at FC2W in 2014 as well as westerly extensions to the 2 most northern lines from the 2014 IP Program. A further 3 new lines are proposed to cover the FC2_Prop5 magnetic/gravity anomaly on the southern end of the attenuated western limb at FC2. A 3DIP survey is also proposed over the MMA007 target area at FC2.

Drilling of the IP chargeability anomaly at FC2NW, planned for December quarter 2014 but deferred due to early onset of the monsoon, will be completed in the June or September quarters. Inversion of JV and historic IP data in 2014 produced a pronounced, strong linear anomaly in basement associated with a magnetic low adjacent to the FC2 ironstone belt. Figure below.

Tommy Creek Prospect
With the recent granting of EPM25544 (Tommy Creek), located immediately south of FC2W prospect area, a proposal was put forward to conduct a gravity survey over the new EPM to test 3 magnetic/gravity (gravity based on very sparse data) anomalies within the new tenement. The proposed gravity survey (red hatched enclosure in image below) will provide infill to link with the 2014 FC2W gravity survey and the regional gravity dataset.
The survey area is about 19 km2 in area and comprised of ca. 570 points at 200m x 200m spacing. No historical drilling has been undertaken within the tenement. The area was originally part of the historical FC10 prospect and recently relinquished by Red Metals.

Existing detailed CED JV gravity stations adjoining to the north also shown, along with sparse regional gravity stations (crosses). Pink enclosed areas A, B and C are identified gravity/magnetic areas of interest. Historic drilling also shown.
FC4NW Prospect
A review and reprocessing of the historical data from FC4NW prospect, located NW of Ernest Henry mine, identified a number of untested MIMDAS anomalies in a highly prospective area with strong down-hole Cu results in nearby drillholes. Associated with the anomalies are a number of inferred structures/faults interpreted from the magnetics.
The image below shows 4 prospective target areas (A1 - A4) with strong - modest MIMDAS anomalies that have been determined from inversion models (red lines) and pseudo-sections (black dashed line). Anomalies A1, A3 and A4 have not been drill-tested and A2 has been drill-tested in the southern end. From these anomalies, three drill-holes have been proposed Prop_1 – Prop_3 with Prop_1 being the priority drill target.
The blue polygons are target areas selected in the Solid Geology consultant review with one coinciding with A3 (Prop_2) target area.

Forward Program
The June quarter will see modelling of regional magnetic flight line data and a downhole structural data review to help focus final drill hole planning at Bronzewing Bore and The Brothers prospects at Bungalien. The drill program is scheduled to commence late in the June quarter.
The IP program at Mt Margaret FC2/FC2W prospects will be completed in the June quarter along with the Tommy Creek ground gravity survey. Prioritising of drill targets within the Mt Margaret project will then lead to program design and commencement late in the quarter.
