Superb endowment of gold including world-leading Carlin style mineralisation

  • Bingham Canyon, one of many giant porphyry copper deposits, annually produces[1] :

  • 400,000oz Au ,

  • 275,000 tons of refined Cu ,

  • 4 million oz Ag , and

  • 25 million pounds of Mo

  • Historical production of +18 million tons Cu and 26 million oz Au

  • Exploration thinking constricted by 2 trends

  • Utah modern day exploration inhibited by land access

UTAH’S TWO UNDEREXPLORED IGNEOUS BELTS

  • Eocene igneous magmatic systems have been linked to significant gold mineralisation n Nevada

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

  • Pioche-Marysvale Belt

o Tintic Belt

  • Bingham Belt

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

  • Pioche-Marysvale Belt hosts Frisco and Valley/Crossroads

  • Tintic Belt hosts Detroit Gold Project

  • Pioche-Marysvale and Tintic are exceptionally underexplored

POTENTIAL OF VALLEY/CROSSROADS PROJECT AREA

==> picture [590 x 392] intentionally omitted <==

  • Historically a copper mining district – but gold is present

But less than 5% of drill metres assayed for gold

  • WMC, Noranda, Anaconda, BHP have explored region - inhibited by land access

  • No systematic integrated exploration of the mining camp

  • 180km2 ready for modern exploration

Black claims outline are those claimed by Tamra. Red and blue claims outline on left are

Alderan's adjacent Frisco Project.

VALLEY/CROSSROADS COPPER-GOLD COMPLEX

  • Earning up to 70% of highly prospective project in Utah, USA

  • Hosts porphyry copper and skarn-hosted copper-gold; structurally emplaced sediment hosted gold mineralisation

  • No modern-day systematic exploration, especially for gold

  • Synergies with Alderan’s adjacent Frisco Project: similar deposit style, controls

  • Huge exploration potential: Valley/Crossroads is advanced; exploration upside – potential to establish mining scale

  • Potential to fast track mining : Mining Licences in place

  • Excellent infrastructure: Sealed highway, railway, water/licences

  • Project is environmentally compliant and permitted

  • Social Licence: Community and government relationships established

VALLEY SKARN

OK 11 (No gold assays)

  • 10m @ 1.1% Cu, 0.29 gpt Au

  • 18.6m @ 1.1% Cu, 1.54 gpt Au

  • OK11 hole, 110m @ 0.16% Cu, ending in mineralisation, within 1200m diameter IP anomaly

  • <4% of samples assayed for gold

OK BRECCIA PIPE

  • Seven holes over an area of 1000 x 750m, at depths ranging from 200-800m, open in all directions

  • 1902 production of upper ore averaging 40% Copper, 7.5 ozs per ton Ag, 18 ozs per tonne gold.

GOLD PEAK

  • Historical surface rock chip 14%Cu, 10 gpt Au (black hematite)

  • 1974 production 650,000 tons of ore for 7,000 tons of copper

  • Historical surface rock chip 2.5%Cu, 7 gpt Au (mt-cpy skarn)

The drill results are historical, refer ASX announcements dated 25 March 2020 and 16 April 2020 for further information. Alderan has employed a local consultant to validate the results by:

1. Finding all existing data

CANDY B (no gold assays)

2. Field and laboratory checking

3. Repeating key data results

  • 10-30m historical intercepts of

1.2-17% copper, 10-25 gpt

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 m Oz
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+ m oz) [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

  • Widespread gold mineralised jasperoids for more than 100 years - 120,000 oz gold production (Western States Minerals, 1974 – 1986) in the Detroit Mining district, Drum Mountains[8 ]

  • USGS Jasperoid sampling program of Detroit Mining District in 1969 reported maximum values of 100 ppm Au, 1000 ppm silver, 1.5% bismuth, 10% Cu, >100 ppm Mercury 9

  • Large exploration program by Freeport; 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

  • Tamra claims cover 80% of the Basin Copper Porphyry system (Freeport holds remaining 20%)

  • Historical drilling in the 1970’s identified porphyry system with drilling limited to 600-700 foot thick Chalcocite blanket in central/western portions

  • Strong evidence for a deeper more productive system with BHP etc interpreting drilled areas to be the upper pyrite halo . Freeport – recently completed drilling

  • Multiple companies have tried to consolidate this ground for exploration
