Exploration Activities
Great Boulder’s systematic exploration programs during 2020 have placed the Company in an excellent position for the coming year. A series of successful reconnaissance programs at Whiteheads culminated in the Blue Poles discovery, with ongoing work now indicating the Arsenal Trend forms part of a project-scale geological feature with potential to host gold mineralisation over 20km of strike.
At Side Well a program of validation RC drilling followed by two rounds of AC drilling provided invaluable geological and geochemical information at Mulga Bill, helping to add detail between the wide-spaced fences of previous drilling. The initial drilling confirmed the width and tenor of mineralisation seen in historic drill holes, and subsequent rounds of AC have identified exciting targets for RC testing during 2021.

In early January 2021 the Company completed a detailed ground magnetic survey over the eastern area of the Whiteheads project. This program built upon an earlier survey by Pioneer Resources over the western part of Whiteheads, providing high-resolution gravity coverage over the whole project.
The gravity data has confirmed that the Arsenal Trend forms part of a project-scale feature striking north-south over a distance of 20km.
Assay results from the first phase of RC drilling at Blue Poles were received in mid-January. This drilling confirmed broad zones of gold mineralization in the fresh rock at Blue Poles, with a best intersection of 52m @ 1.02g/t Au from 28m to end of hole in 20BPRC006.
In mid-January the Company completed further AC drilling at Mulga Bill in the Side Well gold project. Results from this program included an exceptional intersection of 4m @ 17.71g/t Au from 32m in hole 21MBAC022 within a broader high-grade zone of 16m @ 4.98g/t Au from 28m. Significantly the 17.71g/t Au intersection is within a large quartz vein which will be tested at depth in the next round of RC drilling.
During February and March GBR completed a placement and entitlements issue to raise a combined total of $3.1 million, underpinning plans for ongoing exploration campaigns throughout 2021.
In late March RC drilling resumed at Blue Poles, building on results from the first round of RC. Drilling was ongoing at the end of the quarter.

Side Well Gold Project
At Side Well Great Boulder has an option to acquire 75% of the project from Zebina Minerals Pty Ltd. Side Well consists of a single tenement, E51/1905, which contains approximately 132km[2] of the highly prospective Meekatharra – Wydgee greenstone belt over 25km of strike.
==> picture [330 x 485] intentionally omitted <==
Side Well
The Side Well project is centrally located in an area that has produced almost 4 million ounces of gold, with over 2.7 million ounces remaining in resources. Despite this, large areas of the project remain unexplored.

Drilling
During January the Company completed a 44-hole AC program for 3,892m at Mulga Bill. This is the third round of infill AC drilling, designed to increase data density over the wide-spaced areas of the

Mulga Bill prospect as well as providing bottom-of-hole multi-element data with which to fine-tune targets for the next round of RC drilling.
The best result was a stand-out intersection of 16m @ 4.98g/t Au from 28m in 21MBAC022, including 4m @ 17.71g/t Au from 32m. The 17.71g/t Au intersection corresponds to a large quartz vein, which is encouraging as it suggests the gold is structurally controlled rather than simply supergene enrichment in the regolith. The projected position of the vein will be tested at depth in the next round of RC drilling.
Other significant results from the AC program include:
-
12m @ 1.20g/t Au from 68m, including 4m @ 2.52g/t Au from 76m (21MBAC043)
-
4m @ 1.01g/t Au from 68m to EOH (21MBAC009).

These results were announced to the market on 25 February 2021, with all reported intersections
from 4m composite samples. Thunderstorms in the Meekatharra area shortly after drilling was completed partially washed away the remaining sample piles, and as a result the Company has been unable to re-sample these intersections in individual metres.

Next Steps
A 4,000m RC program is scheduled to be completed at Mulga Bill by late April 2021, with drilling designed to test bedrock targets generated by the previous rounds of AC drilling.
While drilling is underway a soil sampling program will be completed in the Jones Well area at the northern end of the project, with approximately 1,000 samples to be collected on a 400m by 50m grid. This will be the first geochemical data collected over the majority of this area, with a small lag

sampling program by Western Mining Corporation in the mid-1990’s being the only previous geochemical sampling over the whole project. Jones Well is an attractive conceptual target due to the presence of a small granitic intrusion at the northern end of Side Well. This has caused structural deformation of the adjacent greenstones, a situation that can create structural traps ideal for the deposition of gold from mineralising fluids.
An AC program to test other regional targets will commence in late May. This will include drilling on the Matilda prospect, where Doray Minerals intersected 3m @ 35.5g/t Au from 76m in an AC program in 2011[1] . At the time Doray were drilling regional fences and no follow-up holes were drilled along strike, so Matilda remains open for 400m to the north and south.

Whiteheads Project
Whiteheads is located approximately 45km north of Kalgoorlie and north of the nearby Kanowna Belle gold mine. The project covers an area of 488km[2] between the Silver Swan and Carr Boyd nickel projects straddling the boundary between the Kalgoorlie terrane to the west and the Kurnalpi terrane to the east.

Whiteheads
At Whiteheads GBR has accumulated a large project footprint over highly prospective geology with a historical focus on gold and nickel exploration.
Whiteheads straddles the geological boundary between the Kalgoorlie and Kurnalpi terranes. With a large number of old mine workings, and large, coherent gold-insoil anomalies Whiteheads has massive potential for significant discoveries.
FIGURE 6: WHITEHEADS LOCATION PLAN.
Drilling
Assays from the first round of RC drilling at Blue Poles were received in mid-January. The program intersected gold mineralisation in fresh rock over a 700m strike length, with a best intersection of 52m @ 1.02g/t Au from 28m to EOH in 20BPRC006[2] .

The Company subsequently surveyed a number of RC holes with a down-hole optical televiewer (OTV) tool to measure structural information across the Blue Poles deposit. Structural analysis confirmed that the 52m intersection, as well as other similarly wide intersections of lower-grade mineralisation, were drilled perpendicular to mineralisation, and not down-dip.
A second round of RC drilling commenced at Blue Poles in mid-March. 14 holes were completed by the end of March for a total of 1,496m. This program will infill drill coverage to a 50m spacing over the main zone and add drill coverage to the south.
Auger Geochemistry
In March a small auger program of 82 points was sampled at the Hillsborough prospect, approximately 10km southwest of Blue Poles. These samples will be used as part of the testing and validation process for Portable PPB’s detectORE™ system.
Next Steps
Assays from the recent Blue Poles RC drilling will be collated and assessed as they become available prior to planning further drilling in the June quarter.
Another round of AC drilling will test a number of targets along the Arsenal Trend, including the Gunners anomaly immediately north of Blue Poles. Other fences of AC will test auger anomalies south of Blue Poles, as well as two regional lines of drilling across the southern Arsenal Trend in areas that have never previously been tested. This drilling is expected to commence in May.
Auger sampling and detectORE™ test-work will continue throughout the coming quarter to generate and refine the Whiteheads prospect pipeline.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | Commentary | |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | Samples were taken manually from the pedogenic carbonate horizon in each auger hole. The | |
| presence of carbonate was confirmed visually and with an acid test, with the acid reaction recorded | ||
| for each location. | ||
| Drilling techniques | Open-hole auger drilling only. | |
| Drill sample recovery | Only visual observations of sample recovery were made. | |
| Logging | Samples were logged for colour, regolith type and acid reaction. | |
| Sub-sampling techniques | Samples were prepared and analysed at Intertek’s Genalysis Assay Laboratories in Kalgoorlie. | |
| and sample preparation | Samples were pulverized so that each samples had a nominal 85% passing 75 microns. The samples | |
| were then analysed using the 25g AR25 33-element package including 1ppb Au. This is an aqua regia | ||
| digest with an MS finish. | ||
| Sample collection, size and analytical methods are deemed appropriate for the style of exploration. | ||
| Quality of assay data | and | All samples were assayed by industry standard methods through commercial laboratories in Australia |
| laboratory tests | (Intertek, Kalgoorlie). | |
| Typical analysis methods are detailed in the previous section and are consider ‘near total’ values. | ||
| Routine ‘standard’ (mineralised pulp) Certified Reference Material (CRM) was inserted by Great | ||
| Boulder at a nominal rate of 1 in 50 samples. Routine ‘blank’ material (unmineralised sand) was | ||
| inserted at a nominal rate of 1 in 100 samples. No significant issues were noted. | ||
| No duplicate or umpire checks were undertaken. | ||
| The analytical laboratories provided their own routine quality controls within their own practices. | ||
| No significant issues were noted.. | ||
| Verification of sampling | No verification of sampling and assaying has been undertaken in this exploration programme. No | |
| and assaying | twinned drilling has been undertaken. | |
| Great Boulder has strict procedures for data capture, flow and data storage, and validation. | ||
| Limited adjustments were made to returned assay data; values returned lower than detection level | ||
| were set to the methodology’s detection level, and this was flagged by code in the database. | ||
| Location of data points | Drill positions were recorded using a handheld GPS. All holes were vertical. | |
| The MGA94 UTM zone 51 coordinate system was used for all undertakings. | ||
| Data spacing |
and | Auger samples were collected on a regular grid of lines spaced 200m apart north-south, and samples |
| distribution | 50m apart. | |
| Orientation of data in | NA – auger drilling only. | |

| Sample security | Great Boulder has strict chain of custody procedures that are adhered to for drill samples. | |
| Audits or reviews | None completed. |

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenement | and | The project is located between 45 and 70km north-northwest of Kalgoorlie on the Yarri Road. The | ||
| land tenure status | tenement package is comprised of one active Exploration License and two EL applications. The | |||
| granted tenement E27/544 covers an area of approximately 185km2including 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 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 other parties |
done | by | The Whiteheads project area has been the focus of exploration efforts dating back to the 1960’s. The 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 | ||||
| the project area however the Black Swan, Silver Swan and Carr-Boyd Nickel deposits are all located | ||||
| within the region and the project remains prospective for further nickel discoveries. | ||||
| Drill hole Information | A list of the drill hole coordinates, orientations and metrics are provided as an appended table. | |||
| Data | aggregation | No grade truncations were applied to these exploration results. | ||
