HIGH GRADE INTERSECTIONS IN MAIDEN RC PROGRAM AT IRONBARK

HIGHLIGHTS

  • High-grade gold intersections in two of the first three RC holes drilled at the Ironbark prospect at Side Well

  • Highlights include:

  • 22m @ 2.47g/t Au from 38m in 22IBRC005, including 4m @ 6.68g/t g/t Au from 39m

  • 14m @ 4.25g/t Au from 104m in 22IBRC007, including 8m @ 5.96g/t Au from 108m

  • Awaiting assays for another four RC holes at Ironbark and 23 at Mulga Bill – Loaded Dog

Great Boulder Resources (“ Great Boulder ” or the “ Company ”) (ASX: GBR ) is pleased to announce initial assay results from the maiden RC program at the Ironbark prospect within the Side Well Gold Project (“ Side Well ”) near Meekatharra in Western Australia.

Assays have been received for three of the seven holes drilled at the Ironbark discovery east of Mulga Bill. Highlights from these holes include:

  • 22m @ 2.47g/t Au from 38m in 22IBRC005, including 4m @ 6.68g/t g/t Au from 39m

  • 14m @ 4.25g/t Au from 104m in 22IBRC007, including 8m @ 5.96g/t Au from 108m

  • 2m @ 1.33g/t Au from 128m in 22IBRC007.

Great Boulder’s Managing Director, Andrew Paterson commented:

“This is a great result for our first RC program at Ironbark. In contrast to Mulga Bill, Ironbark is not concealed beneath alluvial cover and we were able to make this discovery last year using auger soil sampling followed by air-core drilling.”

“We now have high grades in two of the first three RC holes, with broad down-hole intervals at relatively shallow depths. Hole 22IBRC007 is the southern-most hole drilled so there is definitely scope to extend this further south. Our drilling to date is on lines 100m apart, and these two intersections are 300m apart so there is significant strike potential.”

Geological logging of the RC chips indicates a zone of deeper weathering striking north-northeast through Ironbark, coincident with gold mineralisation. This observation together with the multielement geochemistry suggests Ironbark is a structurally controlled orogenic system. The deeper weathering means these intersections are in partially weathered rock, but they are likely to relate to primary mineralisation at depth.

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 samples were collected into calico bags over 1m intervals using a cyclone splitter. The residual
bulk samples are placed in lines of piles on the ground. 2 cone splits are taken off the rig splitter for
RC 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.
Drilling techniques RC Drilling was undertaken by K-Drill. 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 ALS Laboratories Perth. Samples were pulverized so that each samples
had a nominal 85% passing 75 microns. Au analysis was undertaken using Au-AA26 involving 50g
lead collection fire assay and Atomic Adsorption Spectrometry (AAS) 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 Ipec from Meekatharra to the
laboratory in Perth.
Audits or reviews Data review and interpretation by independent consultants.

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. The tenement is a 75:25
joint venture between Great Boulder and Zebina Minerals PtyLtd.
Exploration done by Tenement E51/1905 has a protracted exploration history but is relatively unexplored compared to
other parties other regions surrounding Meekathara.
Geology The Side Well tenement group covers a portion of the Meekatharra-Wydgee Greenstone Belt north
of Meekatharra, WA. The north-northeasterly 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.

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.
