MORE HIGH-GRADE GOLD INTERSECTIONS
AT MULGA BILL
HIGHLIGHTS
-
➢ Assays received from a further 13 RC holes at the Mulga Bill Prospect at Side Well
-
➢ Highlights include:
-
16m @ 5.52g/t Au from 84m and 8m @ 4.06g/t Au from 132m in 21MBRC010
-
8m @ 7.51g/t Au from 68m in 21MBRC016
-
8m @ 4.67g/t Au from 124m in 21MBRC013, including 4m @ 8.52g/t Au from 124m
-
➢ Two high grade, parallel lode structures are interpreted in the central Mulga Bill area
-
➢ Both lodes are open along strike and at depth
-
➢ Assays from the remaining 13 holes are expected in the coming weeks and RC drilling is scheduled to recommence at the Whiteheads Gold Project imminently
Great Boulder Resources (“ Great Boulder ” or the “ Company ”) (ASX: GBR ) is pleased to announce assays from an additional thirteen Reverse Circulation (RC) holes drilled at the Mulga Bill prospect within the Side Well Gold Project (“ Side Well ”) in Western Australia. These results follow initial results announced on 5 May 2021 which included the exceptional intersection of 6m @ 31.2g/t Au from 130m in hole 21MBRC002, including 1m @ 136g/t Au from 132m.
Drilling in the central Mulga Bill area has highlighted two sub-parallel, high-grade lodes with significant strike potential (Figure 1). Significant gold intersections on the western lode line up with previous drilling over an approximate strike length of 600m, while the eastern lode has apparent continuity over 500m. Highlights include:
-
16m @ 5.52g/t Au from 84m and 8m @ 4.06g/t Au from 132m in 21MBRC010 within a broad mineralised zone of 68m @ 2.05g/t Au from 80m
-
8m @ 7.51g/t Au from 68m in 21MBRC016
-
8m @ 4.67g/t Au from 124m in 21MBRC013, including 4m @ 8.52g/t Au from 124m.
Great Boulder’s Managing Director, Andrew Paterson commented:
“These are more great results from Mulga Bill. It’s particularly exciting that these hits line up with results from historic drilling, so we’re starting to see strong continuity on two lodes in the central area of the prospect”.
“Our previous AC targeting programs defined similar trends to the north and south of this area which are yet to be drilled with RC. There’s a lot of scope for more discoveries at Mulga Bill”.

“We have another RC program commencing soon at Whiteheads, and we’ll be back on the ground for more drilling at Side Well shortly after that”.
Assays from the remaining 13 RC holes will help confirm continuity on these lodes, which will be further tested by future RC programs.
Gold is associated with strong sulphide mineralisation and quartz veining. The two lode structures appear to be developed on the contacts between quartz-feldspar porphyritic intrusions and the surrounding volcanic/volcaniclastic package, and these positions will be targeted in follow-up drilling programs.

Appendix 1 - JORC Code, 2012 Edition Table 1
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | RC and AC samples were collected into calico bags over 1m intervals using a cyclone splitter. The residual bulk samples are placed in lines, in green bags (for the RC drilling) or in piles on the ground (for AC drilling). Visually prospective zones were sampled over 1m intervals and sent for analysis while the rest of the hole was composited over 4m intervals by taking a spear sample from each 1m bag. The sampling techniques used are deemed appropriate for the style of exploration. |
| Drilling techniques | RC Drilling was undertaken by Blue Spec Drilling. AC drilling was undertaken by Prospect Drilling. Industry standard drilling methods and equipment were utilised. |
| Drill sample recovery | Sample recovery data is noted in geological comments as part of the logging process. Sample condition has been logged for every geological interval as part of the logging process. Significant ground water was encountered in drilling which resulted in numerous wet samples. No quantitative twinned drilling analysis has been undertaken. |
| Logging | Geological logging of drilling followed established company procedures. Qualitative logging of samples includes lithology, mineralogy, alteration, veining and weathering. Abundant geological comments supplement logged intervals. |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
1m cyclone splits and 4m speared composite samples were taken in the field. Samples were prepared and analysed at Genalysis Assay Laboratories Perth. Samples were pulverized so that each samples had a nominal 85% passing 75 microns. Au analysis was undertaken using FA50/OE involving 50g lead collection fire assay and Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) finish. |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
All samples were assayed by industry standard techniques. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The standard GBR protocol was followed for insertion of standards and blanks with a blank and standard inserted per 40 samples. No QAQC problems were identified in the results. No twinned drilling has been undertaken. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
The spacing and location of the majority of drilling in the projects is, by the nature of early exploration, variable. The spacing and location of data is currently only being considered for exploration purposes. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Drilling is dominantly perpendicular to regional geological trends where interpreted and practical. True width and orientation of intersected mineralisation is currently unknown or not clear. The spacing and location of the data is currently only being considered for exploration purposes. |
| Sample security | GBR personnel were responsible for delivery of samples from the drill site to the courier companies dispatch center in Meekatharra. Samples were transported by Toll Internodal from Meekatharra to the laboratory in Perth. |
| Audits or reviews | None completed. |

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and | Side Well tenement E51/1905 is a 48-block exploration license covering an area of 131.8km2 |
| land tenure status | immediately east and northeast of Meekatharra in the Murchison province. Zebina Minerals Pty Ltd |
| currently owns 100% of the tenement with GBR acquiring a 24thMonth option to form a joint- | |
| venture. | |
| Exploration done by | Tenement E51/1905 has a protracted exploration history but is relatively unexplored compared to |
| other parties | other regions surrounding Meekathara. The Explroation history by previous explorers has been |
| described in the technical section of the announcement. | |
| Geology | The Side Well tenement group covers a portion of the Meekatharra-Wydgee Greenstone Belt north |
| of Meekatharra, WA. The north-north-easterly trending Archaean Meekatharra-Wydgee Greenstone | |
| Belt, comprises a succession of metamorphosed mafic to ultramafic and felsic and sedimentary rocks | |
| belonging to the Luke Creek and Mount Farmer Groups. | |
| Over the northern extensions of the belt, sediments belonging to the Proterozoic Yerrida Basin | |
| unconformably overlie Archaean granite-greenstone terrain. Structurally, the belt takes the form of | |
| a syncline known as the Polelle syncline. Younger Archaean granitoids have intrusive contacts with | |
| the greenstone succession and have intersected several zones particularly in the Side Well area. | |
| Within the Side Well tenement group, a largely concealed portion of the north-north-easterly | |
| trending Greenstone Belt is defined, on the basis of drilling and airborne magnetic data, to underlie | |
| the area. The greenstone succession is interpreted to be tightly folded into a south plunging syncline | |
| and is cut by easterly trending Proterozoic dolerite dykes. | |
| There is little to no rock exposure at the Side Well prospect. This area is covered by alluvium and | |
| lacustrine clays, commonly up to 60 metres thick. | |
| Drill hole Information | A list of the drill hole coordinates, orientations and intersections reported in this announcement are |
| provided as an appended table. | |
| Data aggregation | Results were reported using cut-off levels relevant to the sample type. For composited samples |
| methods | significant intercepts were reported for grades greater than 0.1g/t Au with a maximum dilution of |
| 4m. For single metre splits, significant intercepts were reported for grades greater than 0.8g/t Au | |
| with a maximum dilution of 2m. | |
| A weighted average calculation was used to allow for bottom of hole composites that were less than | |
| the standard 4m and when intervals contain composited samples plus 1m split samples. | |
| No metal equivalents are used. | |
| Relationship between | The orientation of structures and mineralisation is not known with certainty, but majority of the |
| mineralisation widths | drilling drilling was conducted using appropriate perpendicular orientations for interpreted |
| and intercept lengths | mineralisation. Diamond drilling has confirmed a mineralised intrusive body at Side Well has a near |
| vertical dip and trends broadly north-south. Due to the wide spacing of drill lines exact orientation is | |
| not clear. | |
| Diagrams | Refer to figures in announcement. |
| Balanced reporting | It is not practical to report all historical exploration results from the Side Well project. Selected |
| historical intercepts have been re-reported by GBR to highlight the prospectivity of the region. Full | |
| drillhole details can be found in publicly available historical annual reports. | |
| Other substantive | Subsequent to Doray Minerals Limited exiting the project in 2015, private companies have held the |
| exploration data | ground with no significant work being undertaken. |
| Further work | Further work is discussed in the document. |
