    • Target 5 - Widespread quartz-sericite-pyrite and local magnetite alteration

  • Caprice Resources Limited acquires an 80% interest in GSM’s Cuddingwarra and Big Bell South Gold projects

  • GSM retains a 20% interest, free carried to completion of a pre-feasibility study

  • Deal value ~$750,000 in cash and Caprice shares

Gold, lithium and base metals exploration company Golden State Mining Limited (ASX code: “GSM” or the “Company”) is pleased to report on its activities for the quarter ending 30 September 2021.

Yule South RC Drilling – 100% GSM

The Yule South reverse circulation (“RC”) program was concluded on the 17[th] August (refer to ASX announcement dated 20th August 2021) and tested three main gold targets generated from the 2020 exploration campaigns. The targets were: Target 1 East, Target 1 West and Target 5. The program consisted of 19 holes for a total advance of 3,542 metres.

Target 1 East

Magnetic inversion modelling revealed an interpreted anticlinal intrusive feature not adequately tested by AC blade drilling. Interpreted structural zones outlined by magnetic linear features occur either side of this modelled intrusive which host several gold intersections recorded in Phase 1 AC drilling including 4 metres @ 2.3g/t Au and 1 metre @ 7.6g/t Au from 99m (20GSYSAC0002) (refer to ASX announcement dated 23rd September 2020).

Target 1 West

Significant silica and pyrite alteration has been recorded in addition to multiple intersections of anomalous 0.1g/t gold values at this target (refer to ASX announcement dated 4th December 2020). These indicators are interpreted as a potential mineralised intrusive at depth.

Target 5

Petrological work suggests that the mafic package recorded between altered granitoid intrusions (refer to ASX announcement dated 23 September 2020) has been subject to silicification with patchy sericite and pyrite alteration. This target also recorded anomalous gold intercepts and zones of significant magnetite and leucoxene alteration.

RC drilling results received after the end of quarter

Assays were received for 16 of the 19 holes drilled. Two of the holes (21GSYSRC0007 & 0013) were abandoned during the casing process through alluvial cover and one hole remains a cased pre-collar only (21GSYSRC0017).

At Target 1 East holes 21GSYSRC0002, 0005 & 0016-0018 all intersected a diorite intrusive with encouraging gold results including 3 metres @ 0.29g/t from 216 metres downhole (21GSYSRC0005) and 2 metres @ 0.12g/t from 76m (21GSYSRC0002). Holes testing a neighbouring mineralised shear zone adjacent to the diorite intrusive also returned no significant result. At Target 1 West the most significant assay result hole 21GSYSRC0011 consisted of 1 metres @ 0.27g/t from 71 metres downhole hosted in a quartz vein within a weathered schist. Finally, at Target 5 follow up drilling testing significant alteration returned no significant results.

This systematic follow-up testing has confirmed the presence of intrusive rocks as well as gold mineralisation, albeit at low levels. This new data will assist GSM as it undertakes its third phase of reconnaissance drilling over gold and LCT pegmatite lithium targets within the Yule East tenement, as well as Yule North and South.

Cuddingwarra and Big Bell South – 20% GSM

The Company executed a binding term sheet with Caprice Resources (Caprice) for the sale of an 80% interest in the Cuddingwarra and Big Bell South gold projects which was completed in early August 2021. GSM retains 20% ownership in the Projects, forming a Joint Venture (‘JV’) with Caprice Resources.

Key terms of the acquisition and JV are summarised as follows:

  • In consideration for the acquisition:

  • Caprice issued GSM 2,500,000 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Caprice,

  • a $200,000 cash payment, and

  • 250,000 options in Caprice with an exercise price of $0.25 per option and expiring 2 August 2024.

  • the consideration shares and consideration options (as applicable) are subject to voluntary escrow as follows:

e: [email protected] | w: www.goldenstatemining.com.au

P a g e | 4

  • 50% (1,250,000) of the Consideration Shares and 50% (125,000) of the Consideration Options will be subject to a six (6) month Voluntary Escrow from the date of Completion (2 August 2021); and

  • 50% (1,250,000) of the Consideration Shares and 50% (125,000) of the Consideration Options will be subject to a twelve (12) month Voluntary Escrow from the date of Completion.

  • GSM’s retained 20% ownership over the projects is free-carried through to completion of a pre-feasibility study after which point GSM can elect to contribute or dilute.

  • Should GSM elect to dilute below 10% project ownership the interest will convert into a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) royalty, with Caprice able to buy-back the royalty for a cash payment of $5,000,000.

  • Caprice has first right of refusal should GSM elect to dispose of its project ownership.

  • Caprice will operate and manage the JV.

Cue – 100% GSM

Field activities during the quarter were predominantly rehabilitation of prior disturbances.

Following the end of the quarter, the Company has entered into a binding agreement to sell the Cue project for $1.1 million in cash (refer to GSM announcement dated 28 October 2021).

Four Mile Well – 100% GSM

The Company’s two additional exploration license applications at its wholly owned Four Mile Well project near Laverton encompass a recently identified geochemical anomaly identified during a review of historic geochemical datasets. This followed geochemical data (re)processing by GSM during the June 2021 quarter that highlighted a previously unrecognised anomalous response in the historic data, revealing an encouraging Arsenic-Bismuth - low level gold anomaly on the northern boundary of GSM’s current tenure. The geochemical anomaly is interpreted to extend eastwards (refer to June 2021 quarterly activities report dated 30 July 2021).

Fieldwork is expected to commence once the tenement applications have been granted.

Tenements applied for after the end of the September quarter

The Company has conducted a whole of Western Australia targeting study focused on gold, base and battery metals as it looks to identify exploration targets that have been largely untouched using modern exploration techniques. In conjunction with various industry consultants, several targets were identified which subsequently resulted in the following tenement applications after the end of the September quarter:

  • Southern Cross East - E77/2896, E77/2897 & E77/2898

  • Yamarna - E38/3671

  • Eucla Basin - E28/3175 & E28/3176

  • Ashburton - E08/3456
