MAGMATIC BELTS, MINERAL SYSTEMS &

UNEXPLORED PROVINCES

  • Eocene igneous magmatic systems linked to significant gold mineralisation in Nevada

  • Three igneous belts host porphyry copper+/-gold systems in Utah:

  • Bingham Belt

  • Tintic Belt

  • Pioche-Marysvale Belt

  • Pioche-Marysvale and Tintic belts are larger than Bingham Belt

  • Tintic Belt hosts Detroit Gold Project

  • Pioche-Marysvale and Tintic are exceptionally underexplored

DETROIT GOLD PROJECT
▪ Earning up to 70% of highly prospective gold project
▪ Highly sought-after ground: Major US gold producers have previously attempted
to secure key blocks in this area. Discovery of Long Canyon Gold Mine (2.2 Moz
gold) in NE Nevada in 2012 has caused a re-appraisal of the gold potential of the
eastern Great Basin [5. ] Geological similarities to Cove Gold Mine, Nevada (3+
Moz) [6]
▪ First ground consolidation in 20+ years – first modern exploration
▪ Potential to host core of gold mineralisation and porphyry copper system
▪ Historic mining in Detroit Mining district dates back to 1870s – reportedly
produced 120,000oz Au [7]
▪ District hosted several other copper-gold-silver-manganese mines

DETROIT GOLD PROJECT

Advanced argillic alteration at the Drum Mine

  • Historical gold mining area - 120,000 oz gold production (Western States Minerals, 1974 – 1986) in the Drum Mountains[8]

  • Large exploration program by Freeport adjacent to Detroit; efforts to consolidate ground were rejected

  • Newmont explored Wildcat prospect (2012-14)

  • Three gold mineralization styles at Drum Gold Mine West Extension Project: gold-bearing jasperoid, sulfide replacement and quartz vein

  • Similarities to Cove Gold Mine, Nevada; Melco & Barney Canyon gold deposits, Utah - part of Bingham Mineral System

DETROIT MINING PROJECT

==> picture [390 x 293] intentionally omitted <==

  • 6 hole, 1,200M Drill program planned.

▪ Drilling to commence in October 2020;

  • Each hole to test the full reactive host stratigraphy; and

▪ Ground consolidation.

WHITE MOUNTAIN PROJECT

  • 100% Alderan owned

  • ▪ 5km long intense epithermal alteration (white mountain)

==> picture [759 x 279] intentionally omitted <==

Refer ASX announcement dated 28 August 2020.

18

WHITE MOUNTAIN PROJECT

Low-sulfidation Epithermal have well known mineral zonation.

  • Boiling Zone ▪

Alderan believes there is potential beneath the present day surface for a boiling zone/mineralised zone to occur.

Other mineralised Epithermal systems in US have little surface geochemistry.

  • Drilling designed to test the vertical zonation and structure.

19

WHITE MOUNTAIN PROJECT

==> picture [591 x 329] intentionally omitted <==

  • Mapped mineral zonation

  • 4 hole drill program planned (white circles).

  • Option to JV agreement with Kennecott Exploration (part of Rio Tinto)[10]

  • Kennecott can spend up to US$30M to earn 70% interest in Frisco over 3 stages

  • Earn-in may lead to JV with Kennecott

  • Kennecott completed initial first 4 hole program, continuing to drill at Cactus

  • First hole 41m @ 1.9% Cu, 0.62 gpt Au[11]

  • Kennecott’s commitment validates Frisco’s prospectivity – provides funding and exploration expertise to uncover project’s potential
