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 4 aircore drilling program at the Edjudina Gold Project (GIB 100%). This program took place from 20 to 30 May 2021. A total of 137 holes were drilled for 4,474 metres. There were no accidents or lost time incidents.
A total of 1,346 samples were assayed as either one metre splits (674 samples) or as composite samples (672 samples), mainly 6 metre composites. Blank, duplicate, standard and repeat samples were added as necessary to ensure data integrity for future resource calculations. Assay turnaround time for this Phase 4 campaign was slower than for previous campaigns, which has led to a longer lead time in reporting.
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 the development of any discoveries at the project.

Detailed geology of the Neta Lodes Prospect is in the GIB ASX release dated 8 October 2020[3]
The following plans and figures include updated mineralisation profiles using recently collected one metre splits assays from previously anomalous composite samples assayed during the Phase 3 drilling program. These updates are useful for modelling, but are not considered material.
2.1 Neta Prospect
The Neta Gold Prospect is an exciting discovery which displays mineralisation from surface, with grades, geometry and location which indicate potential for bulk open pit mining. The Phase 4 drilling campaign has proved lode extensions to the high-grade core at Neta and also discovered an important new area of mineralisation which has been named the ‘Morphy Lode’.

Figure 3: Neta Prospect Plan View – Drilling Phase 4 Results
==> picture [447 x 318] intentionally omitted <==
The Phase 4 drilling has successfully demonstrated the following:
-
Previous GIB drilling of the Carlsen Lode mineralisation has defined a higher grade core (>10 gram metres) with a strike of 60 metres which provides excellent potential for starter material for mining[6] . The Phase 4 step-out drilling at Carlsen (Section A-A’) has extended this higher grade core by a further 15m to the north; results include 18m @ 1.63 g/t from 21m.
-
A new discovery of wide, twin zones of mineralisation on the eastern edge of Neta has excellent potential to significantly expand the size of the Neta Prospect. This area is now named the ‘Morphy Lode’ and is open to the north and south requiring follow-up drilling. Phase 4 results include separate lodes of 27m @ 0.73g/t from 15m and 12m @ 0.53g/t from 1m (Section C).
Given the geological profile of the rest of the Neta Prospect, the Company considers it likely that the Morphy Lode mineralisation ends well prior to the third party tenement boundary to the south.
- Extensions to Neta mineralisation 300 metres to the north to link up with the Staunton area; includes 18m @ 0.43 g/t from 3m. This mineralisation shows up as two discrete lodes of alteration. Drilling so far, has discovered lower grade mineralisation. Follow-up infill drilling will target high-grade, Carlsen-like pods of mineralisation.
The previously named Staunton Prospect is now considered a part of the Neta Prospect, this northerly part of Neta is now called the Staunton Lode.
- Step forward drilling at Neta has delineated the easterly extent of the Carlsen Lode (Section B-B’) includes 5m @ 1.8g/t from 1m.

2.2 Perseverance Prospect
Discovery of high grade quartz vein mineralisation at the Perseverance Prospect is highly encouraging, this includes 2m @ 11.83g/t from 22m with the up-dip component running at 6.39g/t in another hole (partially stoped).
Two target areas have been defined using drilling, old workings, old reports and mineral alteration; these targets have been named Perseverance West and Perseverance East (Figure 7). There is considerable strike potential of 450m and 375m at these two targets respectively and these areas now require follow-up drilling. Some of the extensive old workings are visible in Figure 7. Transported cover in this area adds to the prospectivity.

2.3 Gawler Prospect
Further strong results from infill drilling at the Gawler Prospect include 12m @ 2.42g/t from 12m. Gawler continues to produce significant drill results from each campaign and is a highly prospective area for future work.
3.0 Further Work
With the knowledge gained from the Company’s first four drilling programs at Edjudina, there are a number of programs of work that now need to be carried out in order to continue to develop the project, these include:
-
Peg a Mining Lease over the Neta Prospect: the excellent drilling results to date at Neta now justify the pegging of a Mining Lease over this prospect with a view to continuing to define and develop this mineralised body
-
Deeper infill RC drilling at Neta to better define the geometry of the mineralized body
-
Further metallurgical testwork at Neta to test partially oxidized and fresh material
-
Follow up RC and aircore drilling at Perseverance; Gawler and parts of Neta
-
Mapping of the numerous old workings and further assessing previous soil geochemistry and acquiring further remote sensing data to generate new drill targets
-
Aircore drill testing of new targets along the 13km of strike, with the aim of finding Neta style lookalikes and new quartz vein systems
-
Aircore drilling under the numerous areas of alluvial cover to discover new mineralized systems not available to the previous artisanal miners
These are the current objectives of Company at the Edjudina Gold Project.

4.0 Summary and Lookahead
The Company is very pleased with the Phase 4 drilling results at Edjudina, especially the discoveries and continuing increase in the defined size of the Neta mineralisation and the potential for the Perseverance and Gawler Prospects.
GIB only acquired an option (now exercised) over the Edjudina Project less than a year ago and has already conducted four major drilling programs, had one highly significant discovery at Neta as well as a number of other discoveries requiring further follow-up and conducted a metallurgical testwork program, the results of which were excellent.
There is a substantial ongoing work program which the Company is pursuing and this will be reported as progress is made.
The Company is in an excellent financial position to execute the ongoing work programs at Edjudina with $3.03 million cash on hand as of 31 March 2021.

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
Every one metre sample from holes deemed to have a high prospectivity were split using a riffle splitter and bagged; samples from holes with lower prospectivity were laid directly on the ground and spear sampled as one metre or comp samples as determined by the geologist based upon logging
Results are uncut
Mineralised intervals are reported in this table using the criteria of commercial potential and/or exploration significance
Results are length weighted 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 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 Mining voids have been omitted from the reported interval width which accordingly does not correlate with the From/To value

| other | The main period of mining activity on the Edjudina line of workings | ||
| parties | (the ‘Edjudina Line’) occurred between 1897 and 1921. Government Geologist Andrew Gibb Maitland made the first |
||
| 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 | |||
