NEW GOLD TARGETS GENERATED BY AUGER AT IRONBARK NORTH
HIGHLIGHTS
-
➢ Infill auger results north of Ironbark have defined a +4km target with anomalous gold and pathfinder elements
-
➢ A hydrothermal gold system extending more than 15km is now defined at Side Well
-
➢ Rock chip sampling at Saltbush (Ironbark South) has returned up to 14.85g/t Au near an historic RC intersection of 3m @ 7.42g/t Au from 14m
-
➢ Drill testing to commence after Aboriginal heritage surveys are completed
-
➢ RC drilling at Mulga Bill is ongoing with first results due in March
Great Boulder Resources (“ Great Boulder ” or the “ Company ”) (ASX: GBR ) is pleased to provide an update on recent exploration activity at the Side Well Gold Project (“ Side Well ”) near Meekatharra in Western Australia.
Great Boulder’s Managing Director, Andrew Paterson commented:
“Infill auger sampling north of Ironbark has confirmed a large high-priority exploration target within the same mafic-ultramafic sequence as the Ironbark discovery. This anomaly is a broad zone of strong bismuth and arsenic anomalism which contains two discrete gold targets.”
“The target is approximately 4km long and almost 2km wide, with broad zonation from bismuthcopper-molybdenum in the east grading towards arsenic and silver in the west. This represents a temperature gradient from hotter elements on the granite contact and cooler elements dropping out further west of the granite.”
“The auger and AC results returned along the eastern stratigraphy at Side Well has now defined a hydrothermal gold camp spanning 15km of strike.”
“During this program we also took more rock chip samples from historic workings at the Saltbush prospect at Ironbark South which confirm gold in quartz veins assaying up to 14.85g/t. Saltbush is a walk-up drill target and we will be testing that area as soon as we have heritage clearances in place.”
“With our maiden resource of 518,000oz at Mulga Bill and Ironbark and multiple large-scale, high priority drill targets we now have a clear pathway to deliver on the million-ounce potential at Side Well.”

During December GBR personnel completed infill sampling over 5km of strike north of Ironbark. This area had previously been sampled on a 400m by 50m grid, with infill lines completed to close the grid cell size to 200m by 50m.
The geochemistry from recently completed auger sampling has confirmed two multi-point gold anomalies north of Ironbark within the same mafic-ultramafic sequence as the Ironbark discovery. The target is also supported by a similar pathfinder association as Mulga Bill and highlighted by a large high-tenor bismuth and arsenic anomaly as well as broad zones of elevated copper.

Also, in December, GBR field geologists took more vein and host rock samples from an area of old workings in the Ironbark South area. This area, referred to in historic reports as the Jones prospect, has been renamed the Saltbush prospect to avoid confusion with the Jones Well area at the north end of Side Well.
The niche sampling program confirmed gold in smoky quartz assaying up to 14.85g/t Au (Table 1) as well as elevated gold in the surrounding country rock. These assays confirm the presence of gold at or close to surface in this area, which is not obscured by alluvial cover and does not appear to have a zone of near-surface gold depletion. This bodes well for exploration targeting, and also for the potential economics of any future discoveries made in the area.

Three RC holes were drilled at Saltbush in 1986 by Esso Australia Ltd and reported in their 1987 annual technical report for the Sherwood Project (LG Dudfield, WAMEX report A20430). Hole SJP002 intersected 3m @ 7.42g/t Au from 14m and 1m @ 1.35g/t Au from 22m. The hole ended at 58m in weathered ultramafic. The reported collar coordinates use an obsolete local grid system for which there is no conversion to GDA94, but some collars are still intact and other positions can be inferred by geo-referencing maps from the 1987 Esso report. This will allow GBR to identify hole SJP002 with a reasonable level of confidence for follow-up drill testing.

Appendix 1 - JORC Code, 2012 Edition Table 1 (Side Well Project) 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 scoop sample from each 1m bag. AC samples were placed in piles on the ground with 4m composite samples taken using a scoop. Auger samples are recovered from the auger at blade refusal depth. Auger drilling is an open-hole technique. |
| Drilling techniques | Industry standard drilling methods and equipment were utilised. Auger drilling was completed using a petrol-powered hand-held auger. |
| 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. Water was encountered during drilling resulting in minor wet and moist samples with the majority being dry. 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 for the RC drilling and Intertek Laboratories for the AC drilling. 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. For AC drilling, Au analysis was undertaken using a 50g lead collection fire assay with 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 25 for RC drilling and 40 samples for AC drilling. 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 laboratories in Perth. |
| Audits or reviews | Data review and interpretation by independent consultants on a regular basis. Group technical meetings are usually held monthly. |

| 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 0.5g/t Au | |
| with a maximum dilution of 3m. | |
| 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. Stratigraphy appears to be steeply dipping to the west however mineralisation may |
| have a different orientation. | |
| 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. |
