At Neta, the Carlsen and Kasparov Lodes appear to join at depth. This interpretation generates a new very exciting high grade ‘Hinge Target’ in the axis of the syncline
-
A new parallel area of mineralisation was discovered at Perseverance 30 metres to the east of the original lode with results including 2m @ 4.82g/t from 4m
-
A highly prospective three kilometre long zone which lies under alluvial cover along the strike of the eastern side of the Edjudina line of gold workings has been identified by GIB geologists. This area has never been drilled and has been named the ‘Ace of Hearts Cover Target’. An aircore drilling contractor has been hired and drill testing of this target is due to commence on 2 November 2021
-
GIB welcomes the recent high grade zinc-lead drilling results from the Iroquois Project in WA announced by Strickland Metals Limited (ASX: ‘STK’) on 14 October 2021. GIB has a 20% free carry to BFS in this project and believes this free-carry asset holds considerable potential to add value to the GIB share price

1.0 Edjudina Gold Project
GIB 100%
Gibb River Diamonds Limited (‘GIB’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce results from the highly successful Phase 5 RC drilling program at the Edjudina Gold Project (GIB 100%). This program took place from 5 to 15 September 2021. A total of 60 holes were drilled for 2,923 metres. There were no accidents or lost time incidents.
A total of 1,154 samples were assayed as either one metre splits (765 samples) or as composite samples (389 samples), mainly 6 metre composites. Blank, duplicate, standard and repeat samples were added as necessary to ensure data integrity for future resource calculations.
Due to the shallow and high grade nature of the mineralisation at Edjudina, the exploration methods being used are extremely cost-effective. Importantly, Edjudina’s location, excellent logistics and proximity to an active haul road (to Northern Star’s Carosue Dam mill) all add to the potential for development of discoveries at the project.

3.0 Neta Prospect
The Neta Gold Prospect is an exciting discovery which displays high grade mineralisation from surface, with grades, geometry and location which indicate potential for bulk open pit mining. The Phase 5 drilling campaign has proved lode extensions to the high-grade core at Neta and also generated new targets for further drilling:
The most exciting aspect of the Neta Prospect is how the size of the mineralised body continues to grow and to how each iteration of drilling generates new targets. The Phase 5 drilling continued this trend and confirmed the following:
-
Further wide intersections and extensions of the Carlsen Lode mineralisation, including 23m at 1.61g/t from 84m.This extends the higher grade core further to the north and at depth (Sections A and B).
-
The Carlsen and Kasparov Lodes appear to join at depth with the dip shallowing, possibly indicating the hinge (axis) of a syncline. The Carlsen and Kasparov Lodes may be two limbs of this possible syncline, the hinge of which would lie (on section B) just to the north-east of drillhole GRC80 at a depth of approximately 90 metres. These type of hinge structures represent excellent high grade targets.
Previous high-grade drilling intersections at Neta (eg 36m at 3.97g/t from 4m) may be from drilling the up-dip hinge of this syncline, which current modelling indicates plunges approximately 30 degrees to the north.
This specific ‘Hinge Zone’ (Section B) is a very exciting target which is open to the north and east. This Hinge Target will be drilled during the next RC program.
-
A promising new area of limonite-sericite alteration with low-tenor mineralisation was discovered in hole GRC075 (36m at 0.30g/t from surface) on the eastern edge of Neta (Figure 3) and is an additional follow-up target.
-
Given the geological profile of the rest of the Neta Prospect, the Company considers it likely that this mineralisation ends well before the third party tenement boundary to the south.
-
During Phase 5, the Morphy area was further tested by RC drilling with hole GRC076 drilled underneath the previously reported Morphy gold anomalism[7] . Only minor gold was recovered from this follow-up drilling and the original Morphy mineralisation may have been caused by localised surficial enrichment. No further work is proposed for the Morphy area.

4.0 Perseverance Prospect
The Perseverance Prospect is a 170 metre long zone of quartz-sericite-limonite alteration which hosts extensive artisanal historic gold workings dating back to the 1890s, this area is named the P1 Lode.
The Phase 5 drilling campaign delineated the strike of this historic mineralisation and generated some highly encouraging gold intersections including 1m @ 15.85g/t from 30m and 4m @ 5.05g/t from 13m.
Porphyry intrusives (acid igneous rocks) are common at the Edjudina Project and appear closely related to gold mineralisation throughout the field. Some of the P1 Lode mineralisation appears to have been stoped out in parts by porphyry intrusive (Figure 8). These porphyries often contain low grade gold mineralisation and may have been one of the drivers of gold emplacement at Edjudina.
4.1 P2 Lode Discovery
Of particular interest during the Phase 5 campaign at Perseverance was the discovery of a new parallel area of mineralisation 30 metres to the east of the P1 Lode. This new lode has been named the P2 Lode and has not been previously mined (Figure 8). The P2 Lode has only been intersected in two holes so far, which returned 2m @ 4.82g/t from 4m and, down-dip of this intersection, 2m @ 2.70g/t from 17m.

4.2 Follow-up Drill Testing
Following on from this highly encouraging round of drilling at Perseverance, further infill drilling will be conducted at the P1 Lode during future campaigns. There is also considerable potential for along strike and down-dip extensions to the newly discovered P2 lode and future drilling will test these targets.

5.0 Trio Prospect
Phase 5 drilling of the Trio Prospect was largely disappointing with the best result being 2 metres at 1.75 g/t from 28 metres. A full set of results for Trio are included in Appendix A. There are no current plans for follow-up work at Trio.
6.0 Ace of Hearts Cover Target - Phase 6 Aircore Drilling to Commence 2 November 2021
A three kilometre long zone which lies under alluvial cover along the strike of the eastern side of the Edjudina line of gold workings has been identified by GIB geologists. This new target follows a line that runs from the Trio Prospect, through the Ace of Hearts Prospect to the Triumph Prospect (Figure 2). (The Triumph Prospect is an area of extensive gold workings and was one of the major mines on the Edjudina Field mainly worked prior to the 1920’s).
This zone of alluvial cover is shallow and would have been a serious impediment to the old-timers prospecting activities. This area is considered to be highly prospective for new gold discoveries. The Target Area has never been drilled and has been named the ‘Ace of Hearts Cover Target’.
A contract has been signed with a Kalgoorlie based aircore drilling contractor and drilling is due to commence at the Ace of Hearts Cover Target on approximately 2 November 2020.
7.0 Ongoing Work and Future Objectives at the Edjudina Gold Project
The knowledge gained from the Company’s first five drilling programs at Edjudina is being put to good use with a number of programs of work that are underway. Current and planned activities include:
-
The transfer of title for the main Edjudina mineral tenement E31/1179 has now been completed and this tenement now shows up on the WA government mineral titles systems (Mineral Titles Online) as being held 100% by GIB
-
Mining Lease M31/495 was pegged over the Neta Prospect in July and is progressing through the tenement grant system
-
Deeper infill RC drilling at Neta has successfully defined the geometry of the mineralised body making targeting easier, as evidenced by the success of the Phase 5 drilling
-
Further metallurgical testwork at Neta has recently been commissioned on fresh (unoxidised) material. This will be assessed and reported when complete.
-
Follow up RC and aircore drilling is required at Perseverance, Gawler and Neta
-
Ace of Hearts Cover Target: mapping and fieldwork has successfully generated a highly prospective 3km strike target zone under alluvial cover in the vicinity of the Ace of Hearts Prospect. This area is scheduled to be drilled on 2 November 2021.
-
Future aircore drill testing of new targets along the 13km of strike, with the aim of finding Neta style lookalikes and new gold-bearing quartz vein systems
-
Any ongoing work that assists the future development of mining activities at the Edjudina Gold Project

8.0 Zinc-Lead Drilling Results at Iroquois Prospect: GIB JV with Strickland Resources
As flagged in GIB’s last Quarterly Report, GIB holds a 20% equity in tenement E69/2820. This legacy asset dates back to a deal done with Strickland Metals Limited (ASX: ‘STK’) in 2011. The 20% GIB equity is free-carried to completion of a Bankable Feasibility Study.
On 15 October 2021, STK announced high grade zinc-lead drilling results at the Iroquois Project situated on the STK-GIB Joint Venture tenement. These excellent results include:
-
IQRC001: 23m @ 5.5% Zn + Pb from 108m (combined), including; 14m @ 4.5% Zn from 108m (true depth 90m) and 9m @ 7% Zn + Pb from 135m (true depth 110m)
-
IQRC003: 12m @ 5.4% Zn + Pb from 58m (combined), including; 6m @ 6.2% Zn from 58m (true depth 50m) and 6m @ 4.6% Zn + Pb from 96m (true depth 80m)
In addition, both holes returned broad, lower grade Zn + Pb mineralisation within the oxide zone, including:
-
IQRC001: 5m @ 2.9% Zn + Pb from 23m; and 22m @ 2.2% Zn + Pb from 37m
-
IQRC003: 13m @ 2.1% Zn + Pb from 24m
Full details on these drill results and previous GIB drill results from Iroquois are available from the GIB website[8&9]
GIB welcomes this drilling work done by STK and also the announcement that the current RC drilling program is being expanded as a priority, with a drill rig returning to Iroquois. GIB believes a strong pipeline of drill results will flow from this ongoing exploration work to be done at Iroquois and that the project holds considerable potential to add value to the GIB share price.
9.0 Summary and Lookahead
The ongoing drilling programs at Edjudina continue to deliver high quality, complementary and wide mineralised gold intersections, with prospects continuing to grow in size. The Phase 5 drilling campaign further extended known mineralisation at Neta, successfully delineated new zones of significant mineralisation at Perseverance and generated new targets at both Prospects.
The generation of the ‘Hinge Zone’ target at Neta represents an especially exciting target for the next round of RC drilling.
The Perseverance Prospect results (including 4m @ 5.05g/t from 13m) also provides another excellent target area for follow-up drilling, with the discovery of the P2 Lode (2m @ 4.82g/t from 4m) providing outstanding potential.

Notes:
Intervals are reported as drilled and are not reported as true widths
comp (composite) samples were taken by representative spearing of the one metre samples Results are uncut
Mineralised intervals are reported in this table using the criteria of commercial potential and/or exploration significance
Results are lengthweighted average one metre assays except where annotated as including or comprising comp samples
All results reported are consecutive for that interval
Repeat and duplicate assays for individual samples were averaged for that sample Follow-up assay of mineralised comps will lead to minor changes to this table
ser is sericite; fe is iron; si is silica; qtz is quartz; vn is vein; altn is alteration; m/l is mineralisation; v is very argillic alteration may be weathering as this is not always ascertainable through visual logging

| documented description of the Edjudina Line in 1903, which was | ||
| followed up by reports in 1903 and 1905 by State Government Mining | ||
| Engineer Alexander Montgomery. These reports described a number | ||
| of private batteries being run on the Edjudina Line at this time, with | ||
| some ore also carted to the nearby State Battery at Yarri. | ||
| A minor revival in mining took place from 1936-1939, which was | ||
| curtailed by the start of World War 2. | ||
| In 1974-75 Australian Anglo American Ltd explored the Edjudina line, | ||
| followed by United Nickel Exploration, Cambrian Exploration and | ||
| Penzoil of Australia Ltd (1979-81). | ||
| In 1993 Pancontinental picked up the ground and conducted drilling | ||
| operations, relinquishing the ground in 1995. Little exploration work | ||
| was conducted over the next 14 years with the exception of Gutnick | ||
| Resources who are reported as having completed some wide spaced | ||
| drilling during this time, however a complete dataset for this work is | ||
| still being sourced. | ||
| From 2010 to 2014 CoxsRocks Pty Ltd, a WA based private | ||
| company, conducted a ground magnetic survey, auger soil | ||
| geochemistry and limited aircore drilling. | ||
| The Edjudina Gold Project has been held by Nexus Mt Celia Pty Ltd | ||

| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. | Historic reports describe mineralisation as occurring within silicified |
| stromatolites which were mineralized and then boudinaged during | ||
| diagenesis and regional deformation. In this situation gold is | ||
| stratabound and almost entirely hosted within the quartz boudins. | ||
| At this very early stage of exploration GIB believes there may also | ||
| have been a broader hydrothermal alteration event at Neta in which | ||
| Au mineralisation is associated with Si-Fe alteration and possibly with | ||
