Numerous drill-ready targets and large soil geochemical anomalies to be tested
Great Boulder Resources Limited [ASX: GBR] (“Great Boulder” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce it has signed an option to acquire a 75% interest in the advanced Whiteheads Gold Project (“Whiteheads”) from Zebina Minerals Pty Ltd.
The Whiteheads project is located 60km north of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia, in an extremely prospective area adjacent to Kalnorth Gold Mines’ 215,000oz Lindsays gold project[1] and north of Poseidon’s Black Swan nickel mine.
The Whiteheads landholding was recently consolidated into a single project by Scott Wilson of Zebina Minerals, following a long history of fragmented ownership by a number of explorers. This means GBR can utilise the full potential of all the historic data over the whole project area for the first time.
Great Boulder Managing Director Andrew Paterson said Whiteheads is a unique opportunity to acquire such a large landholding in a tightly-held area of the Goldfields.
“We’ve reviewed a lot of projects over the past two months and we haven’t seen anything which offers the same potential as Whiteheads,” Mr Paterson said. “We are already aware that the project hosts high-grade gold and numerous, large targets have already been identified for drilling, representing an exciting opportunity for the Company.

FIGURE 2: WHITEHEADS PROJECT LOCATION
Whiteheads Gold Project – location & tenure
The project is located between 45 and 70km north-northwest of Kalgoorlie on the Yarri Road (Figure 2). The tenement package is comprised of one active Exploration Licence and two EL applications. The granted tenement E27/544 covers an area of approximately 185km[2] including up to 15km of strike on a number of potential mineralized trends. Tenement applications E24/588 and E27/622 cover an additional 22 and 10 graticular blocks respectively. Once granted, these tenements will add approximately 49km[2] to the project area.
Geological Setting
Whiteheads is situated on the western side of the Kurnalpi Terrane, with lithologies of the Kalgoorlie Terrane immediately to the west. Dominant lithologies include mafic, intermediate and felsic volcanics, and gabbros. Komatiites in the northwest portion of E27/544 are of interest due to their proximity to the Carr Boyd Rocks nickel project immediately north of the project area, however the Company is not aware of any nickel exploration that has been done in this area to test the potential of the komatiites to host nickel sulphides.

Previous work at Whiteheads indicates a strong structural control on mineralisation, with gold occurring in laminated quartz veins hosted by highly altered country rocks. Gold concentrations are frequently shear-related, as is commonly the case with Archaean lode gold deposits. Pervasive carbonate alteration is common, with minor sericitisation.
The 215,000oz Lindsays Gold Project owned by Kalnorth Gold Mines Ltd is located immediately west of E27/588. Mineralisation at Lindsays is controlled by northwest-trending structures that run through a folded sequence of dolerite, basalt, and metasediments[2] , with Whiteheads tenure situated along strike to the north and south.

Work by Previous Explorers
The project has been worked by a number of companies, mainly exploring for gold. Data collated by Zebina Minerals dates back to WAMEX reports from 1988 through to the start of Zebina’s tenure in 2015.
The data collated from reports and digital files amounts to over 15,000 geochemical samples; mainly conventional soil samples and auger soil samples with a minor amount of BLEG sampling. The geochemical data is mainly located over the northern portion of E27/544, with drainage and transported cover on the southern area of the tenement making soil sampling ineffective.
In addition, data from 1,434 drill holes has been collated, consisting of 1,261 RAB holes, 169 RC holes and four Diamond holes. Collectively this equates to over 61km of previous drilling and a huge cache of data from exploration investment already completed on the Whiteheads Project.

Exploration Upside
There are a number of prospects within the project where previous drilling has highlighted significant mineralisation requiring follow-up exploration.
Seven Leaders is the most advanced prospect, with structurally-controlled mineralisation drilled from near surface to a depth of approximately 100m below surface (Figure 7). Drilling to date has defined a strike length of approximately 300m, however mineralisation remains open along strike in both directions, and also down plunge.
-
Seven Leaders drilling includes high-grade intersections such as 8m @ 7.19g/t Au from 74m in hole SL083.
-
Hole SL068 intersected 23m @ 2.90g/t Au from 87m to the end of the hole, with the last 4m averaging 8.89g/t .

Lady Betty lies along the same structural corridor to the south of Seven Leaders. A small number of RC holes into the prospect has defined mineralisation over a strike length of approximately 180m, also open along strike. Significant intersections include:
-
7m @ 5.91g/t Au from 64m in LBRC013
-
3m @ 6.62g/t Au from 60m in LBRC007
-

Anomaly H , on the same structural corridor, sits close to the southern-most limit of effective geochemical coverage, with transported cover increasing in thickness over drainages further south. The anomaly is less well defined, however intersections such as 2m @ 11.50g/t from 114m in WTHC19 indicate potential for further discoveries.

These three prospects lie along the dominant geochemical anomaly shown in Figure 1, spanning a total distance of over 8km from Seven Leaders in the north to Anomaly H in the south.
The Arsenal Trend is another strong geochemical anomaly on the eastern side of the Whiteheads Project. To date only two fences of RAB holes have tested this area, which will be a high priority for further drill testing.
The Starina Prospect is located west of Lady Betty and Anomaly H. Moderate soil and rock chip sample anomalism remains untested by any drilling.
The effectiveness of soil geochemistry south of Anomaly H needs to be assessed, due to the fact that mineralised trends appear to terminate at the drainage flowing across the tenement from west to east. The combination of deeper soils and alluvial cover in this area may have rendered conventional and auger soil sampling ineffective, so further work is required to test the potential strike extensions of mineralised structures towards the southern boundary of the tenement.

Next Steps
Great Boulder intends to test mineralisation along the Seven Leaders – Lady Betty trend with a drilling program as soon as possible.
While preparations for drilling are underway, the Company will continue assessing the historical data set to assess the potential benefits of acquiring any additional new geophysical data, particularly high-resolution magnetics to try and highlight structural controls in the area. The applicability of known mineralisation styles to electrical techniques will also be considered for ongoing target generation.
Regional air-core drilling will be undertaken to test high-priority anomalies either not previously drilled or inadequately tested by prior exploration. This will include targets at the southern end of E27/544 which are possibly hidden beneath alluvial cover.
Given the number of high-priority targets and the project’s location close to Kalgoorlie, Great Boulder intends to advance the project quickly with ongoing field programs over the coming months. Further details will be provided to the market in due course.
Yamarna & Tarmoola Projects
Exploration priorities on the nickel-copper sulphide targets at Tarmoola, Winchester, Yamarna and Mt Carlon remain unchanged subsequent to the June 2019 Quarterly Report.
The Company is in the process of assessing geophysical images from the recent VTEM survey over Mt Carlon, which is expected to result in targets to test with ground-based geophysical surveys (MLEM) and/or air-core drilling.
As detailed in the Quarterly, the Company is also planning follow-up drilling at the Sturt Meadows prospect at Tarmoola to investigate the nickel sulphide intersection in a deep palaeochannel[3] and to test a modelled EM conductor which coincides with a basal ultramafic contact. In addition to this, the next round of drilling is being scheduled for Winchester later in the year.

| approximately 49km2to the project area. | |
| Exploration tenement E27/544 extents currently surround two prospecting leases held by Scott | |
| Wilson, P27/2013 and P27/2213, that are currently under application to be amalgamated into the | |
| larger exploration tenement and therefore included in the option agreement. | |
| Exploration done by | The Whiteheads project area has been the focus of exploration efforts dating back to the 1960’s. The |
| other parties | bulk of the earlier exploration efforts were focussed on the nickel potential of the region following |
| discoveries at the Black Swan, Silver Swan and Carr Boyd deposits. Various exploration campaigns by | |
| multiple companies utilising differing methods have been undertaken for nickel, VMS and gold | |
| targets. The differing exploration and analysis techniques has resulted in a patchwork of exploration | |
| datasets that are not easily comparable. | |
| Small-scale historical gold workings are present within the tenure that have a protracted history of | |
| mining. Publicly available data for these deposits indicate selective mining of high-grade gold veins. | |
| Geology | The Whiteheads Project lies proximal to the interpreted boundary between the Archean Kalgoorlie |
| and Kurnalpi Terranes of the Eastern Goldfields Superterrane. This boundary also marks the | |
| separation of the Boorora (Kalgoorlie Terrane) and Gindalbie (Kurnalpi Terrane) Domains based on | |
| volcanic facies relationships. This boundary is marked by a zone of faulting and shearing historically | |
| called by various names including the Mt Monger (Swager and Griffin 1994) and Ockerburry Fault | |
| (Blewitt and Hitchman 2006). The Boorora Domain is dominated by mafic and ultramafic lithofacies | |
| with minor sediments and felsic volcanics. The Gindalbie Domain contains a significant package of | |
| bimodal volcanics, sedimentary units and lesser ultramafic lithologies. 3 separate greenstone | |
| succession have been recognized within the Gindalbie Domain, with the uppermost bi-modal | |
| formation the only one present within the project area. The above successions have experienced at | |
| least 4 phases of deformation and display mid-greenschist facies metamorphism. | |
| The project area contains a significant amount of transported cover consisting of colluvium, sand | |
| plains and laterite. Tertiary aged paleochannels transect the project area. Tertiary duricrust | |
| comprises insitu lateritic duricrust to colluvium products derived from insitu material. | |
| Several historic workings are located within the project area including the historic Whitehead Find, | |
| Patches, Seven Leaders, Lady Betty and Jewellery Box gold workings along with widespread shallow | |
| workings. Gold mineralisation is related to extensive shearing and quartz veining along lithological | |
| contacts. The Whiteheads Project is located directly along strike to the north of KalNorth Gold Mines | |
| Limited’s Lindsay Gold project. No definitive nickel mineralisation has been identified to date within |
