==> picture [478 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

Golden Deeps Limited (“GED” or “Company”) is pleased to announce the results in from its newly completed three part Phase 1 Resource Definition and Development Drilling Program at the Company’s Abenab Vanadium Project in Namibia. The program (completed in July) comprised a total of 23 holes for 3,638m which included in-fill and extension diamond drill holes into the existing Abenab resource and shallow reverse circulation (RC) drilling around the historic open pit.

The Phase 1 Program commenced in April 2019, and was designed to underpin the Company’s near-term plans to develop a mining operation at Abenab. Phase 1 consisted of three key focal areas:

  • Resource Definition Drilling

  • Mine Development Drilling

  • Surface Mineralised Ore Drilling

GED Chairman Michael Minosora stated “The initial results from our Phase 1 Resource Definition and Development Drilling Program are very positive and highlight the real potential that exists at Abenab for a further increase in the size of the existing resource. Of significance, intersection grade results from Hole ABD015 are likely to result in an increase in resource tonnes of our existing Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.80Mt @ 0.66% V2O5 (vanadium pentoxide), 2.35% Pb (lead), 0.94% Zn (zinc) at a 0.2% V2O5 cutoff. This is a fantastic result for the Company and its shareholders given we only recently upgraded the resource earlier this year and whilst we still await some results from Phase 1, we are looking forward to commencing Phase 2 drilling in Q4.”

Resource Definition and Drilling Program

To date, the Company has received results from two of the five diamond holes; ABD015 and ABRCD016 (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Abenab Mine drill hole location plan.

Hole ABD015 is located centrally within the Abenab resource and intersected brecciated dolomite with spar calcite-descloizite (PbZn(VO4)(OH)) fracture fill from 208m to 272m (Figure 2). The best intersection at a cut-off grade of 0.2% V2O5 is:

  • 64.18m at 0.90% V2O5, 2.01% Pb, 0.65% Zn from 207m in ABD015

o Includes 19m at 1.25% V2O5, 2.73% Pb, 0.878% Zn from 230m

Hole ABRCD016 was drilled on the margin of the existing resource targeting possible up dip extensions. The hole intersected multiple zones of dolomite breccia with minor descloizite mineralisation between 151m and 266m, an interval of 115m. Best intersections include:

  • 10.68m at 0.26% V2O5, 0.57% Pb, 0.17% Zn from 167m

  • 5.8m at 0.3% V2O5, 0.92% Pb, 0.30% Zn from 203m

  • 6.9m at 0.25% V2O5, 0.58% Pb, 0.32% Zn from 216.1m

The current Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.80Mt @ 0.66% V2O5 (vanadium pentoxide), 2.35% Pb (lead), 0.94% Zn (zinc) for Abenab is calculated at a cut-off grade of 0.2% V2O5 (ASX Announcement 31[st] January 2019). These latest intersections within ABD015, which are greater than the cut off grade of 0.2% V2O5, will likely result in an increase in the resource tonnes.

Mine Development Evaluation Drilling Program

The Abenab RC drilling program targeted shallow vanadium mineralisation adjacent to the historic Abenab open pit. This program forms part of a broader study evaluating mining options for the current defined resource including whether the resource will be accessed using an open-pit or underground mining method.

Shallow mineralisation up dip/plunge of the main resource could support a pit cut-back, with the recent discovery of remnant vanadium mineralisation in the southern wall of the pit providing further support. This area was targeted by holes ABRC019 and ABRC020 that intersected zones with visible descloizite. Results from these holes are pending.

Detailed geological mapping is planned to delineate the extent of the remnant vanadium mineralisation in the south wall of the open pit. This will be followed up with channel sampling and potentially further drilling to in-fill coverage around RC holes ABRC019 and ABRC020.

Surface Vanadium Mineralisation Drilling Program

The RC drilling also tested the vanadium mineralisation over a broad area around the pit within the top 1- 2m. This coarse fill material is considered to be vanadium mineralisation from earlier mining operations, but could also contain material from old stockpiles and tails.

The surface vanadium mineralisation has a vanadium grade commonly ranging from 0.1 to 0.3% V2O5 with high grade zones of up to 3m at 0.62% V2O5 in the RC precollar of hole ABRCD016. Evaluation of this mineralisation is underway to possibly form part of the joint venture with GMC (ASX Announcement 8[th] April 2019).

The best intersections from the surface vanadium mineralisation drilling include:

ABRCD016 3m @ 0.62% V2O5 from surface
ABRCD017 4m @ 0.37% V2O5 from surface
ABRC002 5m @ 0.3% V2O5 from surface

Work Planned

Pending the results from the Phase 1 drilling program at Abenab, the Company anticipates carrying out an additional in-fill drilling program of 5-6 holes to potentially convert the existing JORC 2012 Inferred Mineral Resource to the Indicated category. Phase 2 drilling is planned for Q4 2019.

Further drill testing of the surface vanadium mineralisation around the open pit is planned to supplement the RC drilling already completed. The volume and grade of this material will be estimated to determine if it can be added to the vanadium bearing stockpiles and tails already sampled that form part of the GMC JV. In addition, an auger sampling program is planned to assess the grade of unconstrained tailings that extend from the old processing plant for over a kilometre to the northeast.

Further results from these programs will be reported as they become available.

APPENDIX 2

JORC 2012 Edition - 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 (eg 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 (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised 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 (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Exploration results are based on industry best practices,
including sampling, assay methods, and appropriate quality
assurance quality control (QAQC) measures.

Reverse Circulation (RC): RC drill chips were collected at 1m
intervals via a cone splitter in pre-numbered calico bags. The
quantity of sample was monitored by the geologist during
drilling. A sample of between 2-4kg was sent to the laboratory.

Diamond Core: The sections of the core that are selected for
assaying are marked up and then recorded on a sample sheet
for cutting and sampling. Samples of HQ core are cut in
quarters along the axis of the core using a diamond core saw.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other

RC drilling was conducted using a face sampling hammer, with
all holes drilled a -60 degrees.

Diamond drilling was conducted in HQ mode. Diamond holes
were either drilled from surface or from a RC pre-collar.

Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise 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.

RC sample recovery is monitored by the field geologist. Low
sample recoveries are recorded on the drill log. The geologist is
present during drilling to monitor the sample recovery process.
There were no significant sample recovery issues encountered
during the drilling program.

Diamond core recoveries are recorded on the geological log.
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.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

All logging is completed according to industry best practice.

RC chips are logged at 1m intervals using a representative
sample of the drill chips. Logging records include lithology,
alteration, mineralisation, colour and structure.

Diamond core is logged with lithology, alteration,
mineralisation, veining and structure recorded for all holes.
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.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of
the sample preparation technique is considered adequate as
per industry best practice.

RC samples of 2-4kg are collected at 1m intervals using a cone
splitter. The sample size is appropriate for the style of
mineralisation and the grain size of the material being sampled.

Diamond core was cut into quarters using a core saw. Quarter
core is appropriate for the style of mineralisation.

RC samples are dried at the laboratory and then pulverised to
95% passing 105 microns. Diamond core is dry crushed to a
nominal -3mm and thenpulverised to 95%passing105 microns.

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.

All significant intercepts are reviewed and confirmed by at least
two senior personnel before release to the market_._

No adjustments are made to the raw assay data. Data is
imported directly to Datashed in raw original format.

All data are validated using the QAQCR validation tool with
Datashed. Visual validations are then carried out by senior staff
members.
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.

All drill hole collars were located with a hand held GPS with a
accuracy of +/-5m. At the completion of the drilling program all
holes will be surveyed by DGPS.

Downhole surveys were taken at 30m intervals using a Reflex
single shot camera. The camera records the azimuth and dip of
the hole.

The survey co-ordinates are UTM34 South.

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.

Data spacing and distribution used to determine geological
continuity is dependent on the deposit type and style under
consideration. Where a mineral resource is estimated, the
appropriate data spacing and density is decided and reported
by the competent person.

For mineral resource estimations, grades are estimated on
composited assay data. The composite length is chosen based
on the statistical average, usually 1m. Sample compositing is
never applied to interval calculations reported to market. A
sample length weighted interval is calculated as per industry
bestpractice.
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.

Orientation of sampling is as unbiased as possible based on the
dominating mineralised structures and interpretation of the
deposit geometry.

If structure and geometry is not well understood, sampling is
orientated to be perpendicular to the general strike of
stratigraphyand/or regional structure.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.
All samples remain in the custody of company geologists, and
are fully supervised from point of field collection to laboratory
drop-off.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

JORC 2012 Edition - Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership
including agreements or material issues with third parties such
as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and
environmental settings.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along
with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate
in the area.

Drilling results are from the Abenab Mine located on EPL5496
near Grootfontein in Namibia. EPL5496 is held by Huab Energy
Pty Ltd a Namibian subsidiary of Golden Deeps Limited. The
tenement expired on the 6thApril 2019 and is subject to a
renewal application which is pending.

The Government of Namibia has a 3% royalty on any base metal
production.

There are no material issues, native title or environmental
constraints known to GED which may be deemed an
impediment to the continuityof EPL5496.
Exploration
done by other
parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.
The Abenab V-Pb-Zn deposits were exploited between 1921 and
1958. The Abenab area attracted periodic attention from the
South West Africa Company Ltd (SWACo) and the Tsumeb
Corporation Limited (TCL) from the late 1960s to the 1990s. A
combined exploration venture between the Japanese
International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and Metals Mining
Agency of Japan (MMAJ) conducted an extensive regional
program between 1995 and 1998 focussed on the discovery of
Tsumeb-style mineralisation. AVZ, through it’s Namibian
subsidiary Eris Mining Pty Ltd, acquired EPL4416 over the
Abenab Mine area in October 2010. Diamond drilling was
performed to the north and northwest of the Abenab Pipe area
in 2011 and 2012.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.
The Abenab and Abenab West mines are stratigraphically
located in the Maieberg Formation (Tsumeb Subgroup of the
Otavi Group) in the Otavi Mountain Land. The Abenab Pipe

interpreted to be a thrust fault. Three unique styles of
mineralisation are represented in the Abenab and Abenab West
area: primary carbonate -hosted lead-zinc, late hydrothermal
zinc mineralisation and supergene vanadium bearing collapse
breccia. The Abenab Pipe is a complex, circular collapse breccia
bodydeveloped on the contact of footwallplatylimestone.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding of
the exploration results including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
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.

Refer to Appendix 1 of the ASX announcement.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg
cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and
some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown
in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.

All exploration results are reported by a length weighted
average. This ensures that short lengths of high-grade material
receive less weighting than longer lengths of low grade
material.

A nominal low-grade cut-off of 0.2% V2O5is used with a
maximum internal dilution of 1m for reporting of results.
Relationship
between
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting
of Exploration Results.

widths and
intercept
lengths
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’).
bedding. These zones are within an approximately cylindrical,
steeply plunging breccia complex.

Drilling was conducted to intersect the mineralised zones at a
high angle accept where limited access required a small number
of RC holes to be drilled at a more oblique angle to the zones.
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.

Refer to figure 1 of the ASX 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.

Relevant assay results from the reported intervals are provided
in Appendix 1.
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.

No other data is material to this report.
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.

Additional in-fill drilling is planned to upgrade the Mineral
Resource from the Inferred category to Indicated.
