ANOTHER EXCEPTIONAL COPPER-VANADIUM-LEAD INTERSECTION AT NOSIB

and step out hole extends copper-vanadium-lead mineralisation along strike to the NE

==> picture [508 x 19] intentionally omitted <==

  • The second diamond drillhole completed at Nosib Prospect, NSBDD002, has produced exceptionally high-grade copper-lead-vanadium and silver intersections from surface , including:

  • NSBDD002: 20.85m @ 2.0% Cu, 1.54% V2O5, 6.0% Pb, 7.7 g/t Ag (6.4% CuEq*) from 0m

    • incl. 12.10m @ 3.2% Cu, 2.54% V2O5, 9.8% Pb, 8.0 g/t Ag (10.3% CuEq) from 0m incl. 3.00m @ 6.3% Cu, 7.82% V2O5, 21.9% Pb, 6.4 g/t Ag (25.9% CuEq) from 7.3m* _See copper equivalent (CuEq) calculation Appendix 1**_
  • NSBDD002 did not test the entire target zone due to bogged drill-rods, but still intersected an overall zone of 45.7m downhole/true thickness at average grade of 1.0% Cu, 0.72% V2O5, 2.8% Pb

  • These exceptional diamond drillhole intersections are located within the shallow, supergene, zone of the Nosib deposit between previous very-high-grade copper, vanadium, lead and silver intersections, including:

  • NSBRC010[2] : 29m @ 1.54% Cu, 1.19% V2O5,4.49% Pb, 6.97 g/t Ag (6.6% CuEq) from 2m incl. 13m @ 2.83% Cu, 2.52% V2O5, 9.18% Pb, 6.57 g/t Ag (13.3% CuEq) from 3m incl. 9m @ 3.66% Cu, 3.62% V2O5, 11.9% Pb, 7.70 g/t Ag (18.4% CuEq*) from 3m

  • NSBRC007[1] : 24m @ 1.33% Cu, 1.37% V2O5, 4.77% Pb, 3.67 g/t Ag (5.0% CuEq) from 3m incl. 10m @ 2.65% Cu, 3.12% V2O5, 10.7% Pb, 7.79 g/t Ag (11.0% CuEq) from 3m incl. 6m @ 3.67% Cu, 4.40% V2O5, 14.9% Pb, 12.2 g/t Ag (15.4% CuEq) from 6m** _See copper equivalent (CuEq) calculation Appendix 1**_

  • In addition, diamond drillhole NSBDD004 , a step-out hole to the northeast of NSBRC007[1] , has intersected “frequent pods and patches of malachite” (copper-carbonate) as well as coppersulphide mineralisation from 24.5m to 46.5m (22m zone) with pXRF readings up to 4.4% copper

  • Diamond drilling is continuing (NSBDD005) with a higher-capacity diamond drilling rig, testing down plunge of the previous intersection in NSBRC009² of 5m @ 2.58% Cu, 18.8 g/t Ag from 61m that indicates potential for a high-grade copper-silver sulphide zone at depth

  • Diamond drilling is also planned to test down-plunge extensions of the very-high-grade Khusib Springs deposit, 15km east of Nosib, that previously produced 300,000t @ 10% Cu, 584 g/t Ag[3]

Golden Deeps Limited (“Golden Deeps” or “Company”) is very pleased to announce further, exceptional, copper-vanadium-lead-silver intersections from the second diamond drillhole at the Nosib Block (“Nosib”) Prospect, located in the Otavi Mountain Land of northern Namibia (see location Figure 3).

Diamond drillhole NSBDD002 tested the shallow, supergene, zone of mineralisation (see cross section, Figure 1), producing exceptionally high-grade intersections from surface that include:

  • NSBDD002: 20.85m @ 2.0% Cu, 1.54% V2O5, 6.0% Pb, 7.7 g/t Ag (6.4% CuEq) from 0m incl. 12.10m @ 3.2% Cu, 2.54% V2O5, 9.8% Pb, 8.0 g/t Ag, (10.3% CuEq) from 0m incl. 10.30m @ 3.6% Cu, 2.82% V2O5, 10.5% Pb, 8.2 g/t Ag, (11.4% CuEq*) from 0m

incl. 3.00m @ 6.3% Cu, 7.82% V2O5, 21.9% Pb, 6.4 g/t Ag, (25.9% CuEq) from 7.3m

*CuEq = Copper Equivalent calculation (see Appendix 1), based on current metal prices and estimated recoveries.

This second diamond drillhole at the Nosib Prospect, tested between previous reverse circulation (RC) holes, NSBRC010[2] and NSBRC007[1] , both of which intersected very high-grade copper, vanadium and lead mineralisation that was announced in June 2021[1,2] (see longitudinal projection, Figure 2).

The highest-grade intersections of vanadium, copper and lead are from surface to 10.3m and associated with faulting and heavy oxidation with the supergene minerals mottramite (copper-leadvanadate) and malachite (copper-carbonate) on fracture surfaces. Deeper in the hole there are patches of malachite and/or specs of bornite (copper sulphide) to 46.3m (46.3m thick zone from surface), where the hole was terminated short of the entire target zone due to several drill-rods not being able to be removed from the hole. The overall, incomplete, intersection from surface to endof-hole in NSBDD002 is 45.7m @ 1.0% Cu, 0.72% V2O5, 2.8% Pb, 4.0 g/t Ag (3.0% CuEq*) (Figure 1).

In addition, diamond drillhole NSBDD004 , a step-out hole to the northeast of NSBRC007[1] (See Figure 2) has intersected “frequent pods and patches of malachite” (copper-carbonate) as well as coppersulphide mineralisation from 24.5m to 46.5m (22m zone) with pXRF readings up to 4.4% copper . The intersection of mineralisation in NSBDD004 looks to have extended the shallow, high-grade, coppervanadium-lead-silver zone, that remains open to the northeast.

The pXRF (portable XRF) spot-readings in NSBDD002 (see Appendix 3) were taken at approximate 0.5m intervals within each mineralised zone, apart from selected zones where visible sulphides are variably distributed and further readings may be taken. The range of values within the identified mineralised zone from 24.5m to 46.5m are from 0.01% Cu to 4.4% Cu readings, averaging approximately 0.3% Cu. The pXRF spot readings are considered an indication only and laboratory assays (ICP-MS/OES) are required to confirm grades and intervals.

Golden Deeps CEO, Jon Dugdale, commented:

“This second diamond drillhole at Nosib, NSBDD002, has produced exceptionally high-grade vanadium, copper and lead results that have surprised on the upside, given the initial lower levels detected in handheld pXRF readings and the fact the hole failed to reach the footwall of the mineralised zone.

“Mineralisation has been intersected along strike to the northeast, extending the high-grade zone, and deeper drilling indicates that we may be on top of a high-grade copper-silver sulphide zone at depth.

“The completion of this important drilling program will provide Golden Deeps with an opportunity to advance towards development of on-site mining and processing facilities to feed key battery pre-cursors such as copper and vanadium to the rapidly growing EV and renewables markets.”

Figure 1: Nosib oblique cross section through NSBDD002 and deeper holes testing the copper-silver sulphide zone

A larger capacity diamond drilling rig has been brought to site and has commenced deeper diamond drillhole, NSBDD005, that is testing down plunge of the previous intersection in NSBRC009² that included a 5m sulphide intersection grading 2.58% Cu, 18.8 g/t Ag from 61m[2] . This intersection indicates that copper-silver grades are improving with depth and that there is potential for a high-grade copper-silver sulphide zone down-plunge from the near surface supergene (Cu-V-Pb) zone.

NSBDD005 is targeting the deeper copper-silver zone to the east of previous hole, NSBDD003[11] , that intersected pods and patches of malachite (copper-carbonate), after copper-sulphides, from 71.3m downhole followed by a zone from 82.66m to 101.9m (total >30m zone) of variably developed coppersulphide mineralisation including occasional semi-massive bornite associated with chalcopyrite[11] .

NSBDD003 has been logged and samples despatched for sample preparation in Namibia then processing and analyses at Intertek, Perth.

Upon completion of the Nosib diamond drilling program and receipt of all results, selected samples of drill core will be submitted for metallurgical test work to determine amenability to gravity concentrate production as well as second stage leaching testwork.

The leaching test-work program will be based on the outcomes of the current testing being conducted on the Abenab high-grade vanadium (lead, zinc +/- copper, silver) deposit[5] . The historical Abenab highgrade vanadium mine is located approximately 20km along strike to the east of the Nosib prospect (Figure 5) and has a current JORC 2012 Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.80Mt @ 0.66% V2O5, 2.35% Pb, 0.94% Zn (0.2% V2O5 cut-off)[10] .

Subject to receipt of results demonstrating continuity of the mineralisation and preliminary metallurgical test-work results, the Company will aim to generate a maiden Mineral Resource estimate for the Nosib, high-grade, copper-lead-vanadium-silver deposit.

Following completion of the Nosib diamond drilling program, drilling is also planned at Khusib Springs deposit, located 15km to the southeast of Nosib (Figure 5).

The program at Khusib springs is designed to test for a repeat of the very-high-grade Khusib Springs shoot, that produced approximately 300,000t at 10% Cu and 584 g/t Ag[3] to only 300m depth from the 1990s, closing in 2003. The decline at this mine remains accessible for possible extension in the future.

About the Nosib Block and Khusib Springs Drilling Programs:

The Nosib and Khusib Springs prospects are located approximately 15km apart, within EPL3543 (Figure 5), in the world-class Otavi Mountain Land (Otavi) Copper District of Namibia (see Figure 3). The Otavi Copper District includes major historic mines such as the Tsumeb deposit, 40km to the northwest of Nosib (Figure 3), that produced 30Mt of ore grading 4.3% Cu, 10% Pb and 3.5% Zn[3] between 1905 and 1996.

The diamond drilling program at Nosib, currently underway, includes up to eight diamond drillholes for approximately 1,000m of drillcore.

The program includes three holes testing the shallow, high-grade, copper-lead-vanadium zone, both within the defined shoot for definition and metallurgical purposes, as well as along strike where the zone is open to the east.

A further, up to five, diamond drillholes are testing extensions of the thick, stratabound, copper-silver zone that has produced significant true-width intersections of copper-silver mineralisation over 45m thick, across the entire thickness of the arenite/conglomerate host unit[1,2] .

Figure 3: Golden Deeps Projects in Namibia

The diamond drilling aims to define and extend the shallow copper-lead-vanadium zone to determine the scope of the open-pit resource target. The deeper drilling will test potential for a major, stratabound, copper-silver deposit at depth.

The Company previously announced high-grade intersections of copper, vanadium and lead with silver from shallow depth[1,2] , including:

  • NSBRC007¹: 24m @ 1.33% Cu, 4.77% Pb, 1.37% V2O5, 3.67g/t Ag from 3m incl. 6m @ 3.67% Cu, 14.9% Pb, 4.40% V2O5, 12.16g/t Ag from 6m

  • NSBRC010²: 29m @ 1.54% Cu, 4.49% Pb, 1.19% V2O5, 6.97g/t Ag from 2m incl. 9m @ 3.66% Cu, 11.91% Pb, 3.62% V2O5, 7.70g/t Ag from 3m

At Khusib Springs (see location, Figure 5), previous targeting work by South African based geological consultancy, Shango Solutions, in January 2021[8] , indicated that, in addition to the potential for remnant zones of copper-silver mineralisation on the margins of the mined stopes[10] . There is also significant potential for a repeat of the very-high grade Khusib Springs copper-silver orebody at depth, to the north of an apparent normal fault that is interpreted to have offset the mineralised zone.

Mineralisation has been intersected previously to the north of the fault and deeper diamond drilling is planned to further test this highly prospective zone for a repeat of the very-high-grade Khusib Springs copper-silver ore-body (see oblique cross section, Figure 4, below).

Appendix 1: Copper Equivalent Calculation

i) Equivalent Copper (CuEq) Calculation

The conversion to equivalent copper (CuEq) grade must take into account the plant recovery and sales price (net of sales costs) of each commodity.

Approximate recoveries and payabilities are based on preliminary and conservative leaching information [5] from equivalent mineralogy samples from the Abenab vanadium, lead, zinc +/- copper, silver deposit located approximately 20km along strike from the Nosib Block Prospect.

The prices used in the calculation are based on current market price at 24[th] November 2021, for Cu, Pb, Zn and Ag sourced from the website www. kitco.com. The price for V2O5 was obtained from www.vanadiumprice.com, of approximately $7.80/lb ($17,191/t). The saleable vanadium product is assumed to be Vanadium Pentoxide, V2O5 (98% pure).

Table 2 below shows the grades, process recoveries and factors used in the conversion of the poly metallic assay information into an equivalent Copper Equivalent (CuEq) grade percent.

Metal Average
grade (%)
Metal Prices Metal Prices Overall
Recovery
(%)
Factor Factored
Grade
(%)
Cu 2.00 $4.41/lb $9720/t 0.60 1.00 2.00
V2O5 1.54 $7.80/lb $17,191/t 0.62 1.82 2.80
Zn 0.12 $1.50/lb $3,306/t 0.54 0.31 0.04
Pb 6.03 $1.03/lb $2,270/t 0.62 0.24 1.45
Ag 0.000773 $23.5/oz $755,863/t 0.80 103.69 0.08
CuEq 6.4%

Using the factors calculated above the equation for calculating the Copper Equivalent (CuEq) % grade is:

CuEq% = (1 x Cu%) + (1.82 x V2O5 %) + (0.24 x Pb%) + (0.31 x Zn%) + (104 x Ag%)

In the example above:

(1 x 2.00%) + (1.82 x 1.54%) + (0.24 x 6.03%) + (0.31 x 0.12%) + (104 x 0.000773%) = 6.4% CuEq

APPENDIX 4

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 (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 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 (e.g., submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Previous exploration drillholes at Khusib Springs and Nosib
the reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which approximately 3 kg were pulverised
from which a small charge will be obtained for multi-
element analysis using the ICP-MS method.

Current diamond drilling sampled on approximately 1m
intervals (varied subject to geological contacts) and
analysed using the same procedure.
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). _

Exploration drillholes at Khusib Springs and Nosib were
Reverse Circulation percussion drilling method (RC drilling).

Current drilling is diamond drillcore, NQ sized core.
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.

Drill recovery is reported in detailed log. Where lost core
is recorded assay grades are assumed to be zero. Core
recovery in NSBDD002 is 84% due to losses in cavities.

Information from the exploration drillholes at Khusib
Springs and Nosib regarding sample recovery will be
provided upon receipt of results.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

RC drilling from the exploration drillholes at Khusib Springs
and Nosib were bagged on 1m intervals and an estimate of
sample recovery has been made on the size of each
sample.

The cyclone is shut off when collecting the sample and
released to the sample bags at the completion of each
metre to ensure no cross contamination. If necessary, the
cyclone is flushed out if sticky clays are encountered.

Samples were weighed at the laboratory to allow
comparative analysis.

In diamond drillhole NSBDD001, possible loss of fine
material between fractures in the oxide zone may have
resulted in loss of secondary minerals such as the
vanadium mineral descloisite.
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 andpercentage of the relevant intersections logged.

All holes were logged for lithology, structure and
mineralisation.

Diamond drilling logging intervals based on geological
contacts.

Logging of RC samples from exploration drillholes at Khusib
Springs and Nosib based on 1m intervals.
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 thegrain size of the material

No information is provided on the sampling method for
the historical drillholes.

For exploration drillholes at Khusib Springs and Nosib
-
Every 1m RC interval was sampled as a dry primary
sample in a calico bag off the cyclone/splitter.
-
Diamond drilling sampling half to quarter core sampled
on approximately 1m intervals using core-saw or
splitter.
-
Drill sample preparation (Intertek, Namibia) and
analysis (Intertek, Perth) carried out at registered

Field sample procedures involve the insertion of registered
Standards every 20m, and duplicates or blanks generally
every 25m and offset.

Sampling is carried out using standard protocols as per
industry practice.

Sample sizes range typically from 2 to 3kg and are deemed
appropriate to provide an accurate indication of
mineralisation.

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.

No information is provided on the assay method or the
quality assurance quality control (QAQC) methods used by
Goldfields Namibia for historical drilling.

Information regardingassay method for the exploration
drillholes at Khusib Springs and Nosib will be provided
upon receipt of results.

All samples are submitted to the Intertek Laboratories
sample preparation facility at the Tschudi Mine near
Tsumeb in Namibia where a pulp sample is prepared. The
pulp samples are then transported to Intertek in Perth
Australia for analysis.

Pulp sample(s) have been digested with a mixture of four
Acids including Hydrofluoric, Nitric, Hydrochloric and
Perchloric Acids for a total digest.

Cu, Pb, Zn, V, Ag have been determined by Inductively
Coupled Plasma (ICP) Mass Spectrometry.

Hand-held XRF spot readings on drill-core are used to

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 Khusib Springs copper
prospect located on Golden Deeps Limited (Huab Energy
Ltd) EPL3543 located near the town of Grootfontein in
northeast Namibia.

EPL3543 expires 6thJuly 2022.

There are no material issues or environmental constraints
known to Golden Deeps which may be deemed an
impediment to the continuityof EPL3543.
Exploration
done by other
parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.
The Khusib Springs copper prospect was primarily drilled
by Goldfields Namibia from 1993 onwards following the
intersection of massive tennantite in drill holes KH06 and
KH08.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.
The Nosib Mine was worked historically to produce copper
and vanadium. The deposit is arenite / sandstone-hosted
with chalcopyrite, bornite, galena and pyrite as well as
secondary descloizite (Lead-Vanadium hydroxide). The
mineralization is associated with prominent argillic
alteration and occurs within an upper pyritic zone of the
Nabis Formation sandstone, which is locally gritty to
conglomeratic. The main zone of mineralization at Nosib
cross-cuts the stratigraphy and also includes stratiform
mineralization with significant chalcopyrite, striking
northeast-southwest and dipping moderately to the
northwest.

The Khusib Springs deposit is a small but high-grade pipe-
like body that plunges steeply within brecciated carbonate
rocks. The deposit resembles the Tsumeb deposit near the
town of Tsumeb to the northeast.

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 2 of the ASX announcement for drillhole
details.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g., 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.

Voids/lost core intervals are incporated at zero grade.

The assumptions used for reporting of metal equivalent
values are detailed in Appendix 1 of this release.
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 (e.g., ‘down hole length,
true width not known’).

Drill holes and drill traverses were designed to intersect
the targeted mineralised zones at a high angle where
possible. Intersections reported approximate true width.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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, a representative cross section through
the Nosib Block Prospect, Figure 2 for a longitudinal
projection of the Nosib deposit and Figure 4 is an oblique
section through the Khusib Springs deposit. Figure 5 is a
regional scale plan-view showing geology and prospect
locations.
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.

Intersections in all drillholes above designated cut-off
grades are reported in Table 1 of the release.
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 (e.g., 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.

Diamond drilling will be continued as outlined, to
potentially extend the strike length of the defined
mineralisation at Nosib block and test the stratabound
copper-silver mineralisation at depth.

Subject to the results of this program, further drilling may
be carried out to further extend the deposit and infill
drilling to define a Mineral Resource.

Deeper drilling is also planned to test for deeper
extensions of the Khusib Springs copper-silver orebody.

Metallurgical testwork on copper-vanadium-lead oxide
mineralisation is alsoplanned.
