Horizon Gold Limited (ASX : HRN) (Horizon or Company) is pleased to announce additional shallow, broad and high-grade gold intercepts from drilling at its 100% owned Gum Creek Gold Project (Gum Creek or the Project) located in the Mid-West Region of Western Australia. Final assay results have been received from the remaining RC and diamond drilling program, which included drilling at the Eagle, Eagles Peak South, Hawk, Heron South, Hyperno-Reliance, Kingfisher, Melbourne Bitter, Manikato, Snook, South Reliance, Shiraz, Specimen Well, Think Big and Toedter prospects (Figure 1). The drilling has reduced the drill spacing to an approximate 20m x 20m drill pattern within pit shells optimised during the Scoping Study completed in March 2024.

Managing Director Leigh Ryan said:

“These drilling results confirm the extensive prospectivity across the entire Project and highlight the potential for a mine life well beyond the 2024 Scoping Study predictions. The results will be incorporated into the Company’s mineral resource estimate update which is due to be announced in Q3 2025.”

The Company completed a total of 122 RC holes for 8,032m at the Eagle, Eagles Peak South, Hawk, Hyperno-Reliance, Kingfisher, Manikato, Melbourne Bitter, Shiraz, South Reliance, Specimen Well, Think Big and Toedter prospects, and 12 geotechnical diamond holes for 1,456m at the Eagle, Kingfisher, Hawk, Heron South, Hyperno-Reliance, Melbourne Bitter, Think Big, Shiraz, Snook, Specimen Well and Toedter prospects. The program has confirmed historic drilling results and will further increase the resource confidence levels within each of the resource models. The structural and geotechnical information obtained from diamond core logging and downhole televiewer surveying will be used in gold resource modelling and will help determine the most appropriate wall angles in pit optimisation and pit design work for the FS.

Eagle Prospect

The Eagle Prospect is located 1.2km southeast of the historic Gidgee mill (Figure 1). The current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for Eagle is 1.16Mt @ 1.85g/t Au for 68,800oz (Table A).

One HQ geotechnical diamond hole for 179m, and 14 RC holes for 1,212m were drilled. Geological and geotechnical core logging was completed and the collection and interpretation of televiewer surveys undertaken within three RC holes. Assay results have confirmed and extended previously identified shallow gold mineralisation along strike to the north and south of the Eagle pit (Figures 2 & 3). Numerous significant intercepts were returned (Table B) including:

  • 14m @ 4.34g/t Au from 24m including 3m @ 18.66g/t Au from 32m (EARC022)

  • 15m @ 2.15g/t Au from 47m including 3m @ 8.47g/t Au from 54m (EARC026)

  • 1m @ 24.80g/t Au from 61m (EARC033)

  • 5m @ 2.50g/t Au from 29m including 2m @ 5.76g/t Au from 31m (EARC028)

  • 3m @ 3.77g/t Au from 23m (EARC020)

  • 7m @ 1.60g/t Au from 46m (EARC029)

  • 5m @ 2.19g/t Au from 104m to EOH (EARC023)

Gold mineralisation at Eagle is associated with quartz-carbonate-pyrite shear and tension veins within sericite-carbonate altered basalt. The results confirm moderately west dipping mineralised zones below shallow flat lying supergene mineralisation with both styles of mineralisation open along strike to the north and south where further drilling is required.

Wireframing of the Eagle gold mineralisation is underway in preparation for an updated mineral resource estimate.

Hyperno-Reliance and South Reliance Prospects

The Hyperno-Reliance and South Reliance prospects are located 17km south-southeast of the historic Gidgee mill (Figure 1). The current MRE for Hyperno-Reliance is 0.45Mt @ 1.31g/t Au for 18,800oz (Table A). The current MRE for South Reliance / Deep South is 0.22Mt @ 1.62g/t Au for 11,700oz (Table A).

Two HQ geotechnical diamond holes for 155m, and 45 RC holes for 2,461m were drilled at HypernoReliance and South Reliance. Geological and geotechnical core logging and downhole televiewer surveying and interpretation for geotechnical purposes was completed on three Hyperno and two Reliance RC holes. Assay results have confirmed the average width and grades of shallow gold mineralisation identified in historic drilling at the Hyperno, Reliance and South Reliance prospects (Figures 4 to 7). Numerous significant intercepts were returned (Table C) including:

  • 11m @ 6.90g/t Au from 27m including 3m @ 22.60g/t Au from 28m (RERC020)

  • 16m @ 4.35g/t Au from 32m including 5m @ 12.88g/t Au from 32m (SRRC005)

  • 7m @ 5.01g/t Au from 37m including 1m @ 25.30g/t Au from 37m (RERC018)

  • 8m @ 3.93g/t Au from 19m (RERC004)

  • 10m @ 2.28g/t Au from 15m (RERC006)

  • 18m @ 1.19g/t Au from 43m including 5m @ 2.83g/t Au from 43m (HYRC037)

  • 5m @ 3.86g/t Au from 29m including 1m @ 14.95g/t Au from 31m (RERC017)

  • 10m @ 1.89g/t Au from 32m including 4m @ 4.11g/t Au from 34m (HYRC052)

  • 3m @ 4.11g/t Au from 8m (SRRC004)

  • 7m @ 1.56g/t Au from 29m (HYRC044)

  • 12m @ 0.91g/t Au from 28m (RERC013)

  • 10m @ 1.06g/t Au from 39m including 4m @ 2.17g/t Au from 39m (SRRC002)

  • 7m @ 1.43g/t Au from 52m including 3m @ 2.58g/t Au from 56m (HYRC038)

Gold mineralisation at Hyperno and Reliance is associated with quartz veined limonitic saprolite extending at depth into altered quartz veined mafic volcanics within sub-parallel mineralised shear zones. Mineralisation is flat lying (supergene) and dips moderately to the east (primary mineralisation), has a continuous 600 metre strike length (Figures 4 to 6), and has only been pattern drilled to depth of approximately 50m. The area is deeply weathered, with the base of complete oxidation between 60m and 80m below surface. Gold mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike to the north and south, and further drilling is warranted.

Gold mineralisation at South Reliance is associated with quartz-carbonate-pyrite veins within sericitecarbonate altered basalt and dolerite units. Mineralisation dips steeply to the east and has a continuous 500 metre strike length (Figures 4 & 7). There appears to be less supergene mineralisation at South Reliance with the base of complete oxidation at 50m or less. Gold mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike to the north and south, and further drilling is warranted.

Wireframing of the Hyperno, Reliance and South Reliance gold mineralisation is underway in preparation for an updated mineral resource estimate.

Hawk Prospect

The Hawk Prospect is located 5km south-southeast of the historic Gidgee mill (Figure 1) and was previously mined by open cut methods. The current MRE for Hawk is 0.85Mt @ 1.26g/t Au for 34,400oz (Table A).

The Company drilled seven RC holes for 752m and one geotechnical diamond hole for 156.1m at the prospect. Geological and geotechnical logging was completed on diamond core, and downhole televiewer surveying was undertaken for geotechnical purposes in one RC hole. Gold assays have confirmed the width and average grades of the surrounding previous drill holes (Figures 8 & 9) with significant intercepts returned (Table D) including:

  • 7m @ 7.21g/t Au from 123m including 1m @ 44.50g/t Au from 128m (HKDD001) (core)

  • 14m @ 2.29g/t Au from 34m including 7m @ 3.85g/t Au from 37m (HKRC021)

  • 2m @ 2.71 g/t from 36m (HKRC022)

7

==> picture [172 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

Gold mineralisation at Hawk is located within three sub-parallel, steeply south-west dipping shear zones containing shear veins and flat-lying quartz tension veins within pyritic sericite-silica altered basalt and limonitic saprolite. Mineralisation is continuous over a 500-metre strike and is currently defined to a maximum vertical depth of 130 metres, with high grade gold shoots open and plunging to the north. The base of weathering extends to approximately 120 metres below surface, with high-grade supergene enrichment overlaying primary gold mineralisation. Additional drilling is required down dip, down plunge and along strike to the north and south at Hawk, however an MRE update will be completed for FS purposes prior to further drilling. Wireframing of the Hawk gold mineralisation has commenced.

  • 26m @ 1.18g/t Au from 30m including 8m @ 2.04g/t Au from 41m (SHRC024)

  • 26m @ 1.02g/t Au from 63m including 8m @ 2.06g/t Au from 70m (core) (SHDD001)

  • 9m @ 2.77g/t Au from 13m including 3m @ 5.08g/t Au from 14m (SHRC012)

  • 10m @ 2.36g/t Au from 26m including 1m @ 18.45g/t Au from 35m (SHRC025)

  • 15m @ 1.45g/t Au from 16m including 8m @ 2.50g/t Au from 19m (SHRC020)

  • 10m @ 1.57g/t Au from 14m including 3m @ 3.83g/t Au from 14m (SHRC023)

  • 13m @ 1.05g/t Au from 27m (SHRC011)

  • 11m @ 0.97g/t Au from 42m including 3m @ 2.30g/t Au from 47m (SHRC022)

Gold mineralisation at Shiraz is associated with a thick, quartz veined pyrite-pyrrhotite-rich quartz dolerite unit that dips steeply to the west. Mineralisation is continuous over an 800 metre strike and is currently defined to a maximum vertical depth of approximately 180 metres. The base of complete oxidation is ~40 metres below surface.

Melbourne Bitter Prospect

The Melbourne Bitter Prospect is located 26km north of the Gidgee Mill. The prospect has not been previously mined and the current MRE for the deposit is 0.36Mt @ 1.44g/t Au for 16,800oz (Table A).

Recent drilling at Melbourne Bitter included five RC holes for 428m and one geotechnical diamond hole for 130.7m (Figures 12 & 13). Geological and geotechnical core logging has provided important structural information which has been used to interpret complex mineralised trends at the prospect. The drilling confirmed previous shallow gold mineralisation identified in wider spaced historic RC drilling, and returned several gold intercepts (Table F) including:

  • 19m @ 1.39g/t Au from 42m including 8m @ 2.93g/t Au from 49m (MBRC042)

  • 28m @ 0.72g/t from 21m including 4m @ 2.33 g/t from 21m (MBRC043)

  • 2m @ 5.44g/t from 56m (MBDD001)

  • 10m @ 1.00g/t from 0m including 2m @ 3.55 g/t from 8m (MBRC039)

Gold mineralisation at Melbourne Bitter is located within deeply weathered, quartz veined, sheared interbedded carbonaceous sediments and basalt. Mineralisation at Melbourne Bitter is continuous over a 370 metre strike length and is currently defined to a vertical depth of approximately 120 metres (Figures 12 & 13). Primary gold mineralisation at Melbourne Bitter strikes north-northwest, and dips at ~80[0] to the west, in a series of stacked gold lodes. The prospect area is deeply weathered with the base of complete oxidation ~80m below surface.

The program has further defined and extended the known gold mineralisation to the south where it remains open at depth and along strike. Further drilling is warranted along strike to the south, however an MRE update will be completed prior to further drilling.

Toedter Prospect

The Toedter Prospect is located 48km north-northwest of the Gidgee Mill (Figure 1) and hosts a current MRE of 0.69Mt @ 1.54g/t Au for 34,000oz (Table A).

The Company completed twelve RC holes for 873m and one geotechnical diamond hole for 150.5m at the prospect (Figure 1). Geological and geotechnical core logging was completed, and downhole televiewer surveying was undertaken for geotechnical purposes in three RC holes. Gold results have defined the up-dip extent of mineralisation along the western margin of the deposit (Figures 14 & 15) with two significant intercepts outlined (Table G):

  • 15m @ 1.84g/t Au from 13m including 4m @ 5.79g/t Au from 13m (TDRC012)

  • 13m @ 1.06g/t Au from 70m including 3m @ 2.99g/t Au from 73m (TDDD001)

Gold mineralisation at Toedter is associated with quartz-carbonate-pyrite veined, strongly carbonatechlorite altered basalt and amphibolite located within a series of stacked shallow to moderate east dipping mineralised zones that appear to plunge shallowly to the south. Mineralisation is continuous over a 350-metre strike and is currently defined to a maximum vertical depth of ~140 metres, with the base of complete oxidation at ~40 metres below surface.

Mineralisation remains open along strike, down dip and down plunge with further drilling warranted down plunge to the south, however an MRE update will be completed prior to further drilling.

Feasibility Study Progress and Resource Expansion Drilling

Work on the Gum Creek Feasibility Study remains on schedule for completion early in 2026, with geotechnical studies and metallurgical test work being finalised, whilst environmental surveys, mine design work, heritage evaluation work and water management test work all advancing well. Water bore drilling is also underway, and pump tests will commence in July prior to producing a site-wide water balance model.

Further drilling, including resource expansion drilling at some of the 12 open pittable resource areas not included in the 2024 Scoping Study will be undertaken to further extend the potential mine life of the Gum Creek Gold Project. The Company is also considering additional drill testing at several highgrade underground targets, including looking at underground mining options to further advance the significant economic potential of the Project.

‐ The Company believes the Gum Creek Gold Project will be a robust, viable stand alone mining operation with the recent high gold prices only strengthening the March 2024 Scoping Study outcomes[2] and providing a high level of confidence for the current Feasibility Study outcomes.

APPENDIX 2: JORC TABLE 1 (SECTIONS 1 AND 2)

Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria Commentary Commentary
JORC Code explanation
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised
industry
standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken
as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken
to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
• In cases where „industry standard‟
work has been done this would be
relatively
simple
(eg
„reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain
1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay‟). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
• HQ3 diamond core was drilled to various depths using a truck-mounted
DRA 800 diamond drill rig.
• Selected diamond core was cut in half using an on-site Almonte
diamond saw and sampled at 1m intervals over mineralised intervals
selected by the supervising geologist.
• Sampling was undertaken using Horizon Gold Limited (HRN) sampling
protocols and QAQC procedures in line with industry best practice, with
laboratory standard reference material, sample blanks and sample
duplicates were inserted/collected at every 25th sample in the sample
sequence.
• Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes were routinely sampled at 1m
intervals down the hole. The upper sections of some holes were
sampled at 2m intervals.
• Samples were collected at the drill rig using an industry standard rig-
mounted cone splitter to collect a nominal 2 - 3 kg sub sample in a
numbered calico sample bag, with the remaining sample retained at the
drill site for future resampling and/or metallurgical sampling if required.
• Routine standard reference material, sample blanks, and sample
duplicates were inserted/collected at every 25th sample in the sample
sequence.
• All RC and half core diamond samples were submitted to Australian
Laboratory Services (ALS) in Perth for preparation (including
pulverising) to produce a 50g sub-sample for analysis for gold by 50g
Fire Assay.
Pre-2014 Drillholes
• All RC samples were collected at 1m intervals through the drill rig
cyclone and then split via riffle and cone splitters. RC samples were
typically dry. Composite samples were collected by tube sampling the
bulk RC sample bags.
• Diamond drilling involved HQ and NQ core. Sampling of diamond core
involved 1m sampling, with sampling over geological intervals (down to
0.1m) in more recent holes. The diamond core has generally been cut
in half for sampling with some holes whole core sampled, and some
quarter core sampled subsequent to half core sampling where alternate
laboratory samples were submitted or thin section work was completed.
• Initially assaying utilised the aqua regia process but most assays used
in this report have been by fire assay with an AAS finish using the site
laboratory or off-site laboratories. A 50g charge was generally used.
• After the year 2000, samples (mainly grade control) were assayed at
the accredited on-site laboratory at Gidgee using the Leachwell method.
Leachwell cyanide (bottle-roll) assays are apparently more predictive of
expected recoveries from Carbon-in-Pulp gold recovery plants, so
provide a more realistic grade estimate.
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (eg core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg core
diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc).
• Diamond core was drilled from surface to facilitate geotechnical logging
and sampling from surface. Industry standard barrels and triple tube
barrels were used to obtain HQ3 core samples.
• Diamond core holes were routinely surveyed for down hole deviation
using a DeviGyro set to collect readings every 5m down each hole.
• HQ3 core was orientated using Reflex orientation tools, with core initially
cleaned and pieced together at the drill site. Core was then
reconstructed into continuous runs on an angle iron cradle for down hole
depth marking and then orientated with orientation lines marked up by
HRN field staff at the Gidgee Core Shed.
• All RC holes were completed by reverse circulation (RC) drilling
techniques using a DR05 SREPS SR650 drill rig and auxiliary
compressor.

Criteria Commentary Commentary
JORC Code explanation
• Drill rod diameter was 4.5” (114mm) and drill bit diameter was nominally
143mm to 146mm.
• A face sampling down hole hammer (5' type 760 SREPS) was used at
all times.
• All RC drill holes were surveyed for down hole deviation using an Axis
Champ Navigator north seeking downhole gyro with downhole readings
collected every 5m.
Pre-2014 Drillholes
• RC drilling was completed with industry standard RC drill rigs using a
4.5” to 5.5” drill bit with either a cross-over sub or a face sampling
hammer.
• Diamond drilling was completed with industry standard diamond drill
rigs acquiring HQ (63.5mm) or NQ (47.6mm) diamond core with a
standard tube and all core oriented when possible.
• Only some of the pre-2014 diamond core was oriented and some
orientation marks have since faded or disappeared.
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise
sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the
samples.
• Whether
a
relationship
exists
between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have
occurred
due
to
preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
• Diamond drillers measure core recoveries for every drill run completed
using either three or six metre core barrels. The core recovered is
physically measured by tape measure and the length is recorded for
every “run”. Core recovery is calculated as a percentage recovery. Core
recovery is confirmed by Horizon field technicians and geologists during
core orientation activities on site and recorded into the database.
• Various diamond drilling additives (including muds and foams) were
used to condition the drill holes and maximise recoveries and sample
quality.
• There is no significant loss of material reported in the mineralised parts
of the diamond core intercepts reported.
• A qualitative estimate of sample recovery was done for each RC sample
metre collected from the drill rig.
• A qualitative estimate of RC sample weight was completed to ensure
consistency of sample size and to monitor sample recoveries.
• Most RC material was dry when sampled, with damp and wet samples
noted in sample sheets and referred to when assays were received.
• Both RC and diamond core sample recovery and quality is considered
to be adequate for the drilling technique employed.
Pre-2014 Drillholes
• Where documented, RC drilling returned good recoveries, however drill
recoveries for some historical holes are not known.
• All RC samples were split and mixed in the riffle splitting process.
• Diamond core recovery was noted during the drilling and geological
logging process as a percentage of core recovered vs. known /
expected drill length.
• There is no evidence of there being sample bias due to non-
representative or preferential sampling.
• No apparent relationships were noted in relation to sample recovery and
grade.
Logging • Whether core and chip samples
have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies
and metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc) photography.
• The total length and percentage of
the relevant intersections logged.
• All RC and diamond drill holes were geologically logged by a qualified
Geologist.
• Qualitative and quantitative geological logging recorded colour, grain
size, weathering, oxidation, lithology, alteration, veining and
mineralisation including the abundance of specific minerals, veining,
and alteration using an industry standard logging and geological coding
system.
• Geotechnical logging was completed on all diamond core.
• Structural measurements of foliation, shearing, faulting, veining,
lineations etc. (using a kenometer to collect alpha and beta angles) were
collected for all diamond core. These measurements were then plotted
down drill traces in 3D software to aid geological interpretations and
modelling of gold mineralisation.
• Rock Quality Designation (RQD) measurements are completed on all
diamond core.

Criteria Commentary Commentary
JORC Code explanation
• All diamond core is photographed in the core tray in both dry and wet.
• A small sample of all RC drill material was retained in chip trays for
future reference and validation of geological logging.
Pre-2014 Drillholes
• All historical drill holes have been logged using the various company
logging codes. The type of drill log varies with time depending on drill
technique, year and company.
• Logging included codes and descriptions of weathering, oxidation,
lithology, alteration and veining.
• Geological logging is qualitative and based on visual field estimates.
• Not all RC and diamond core logs have been converted to a digital
format.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core
taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.
• For all sample types, the nature,
quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted
for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in
situ material collected, including for
instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are
appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.
• Core samples were cut in half using an auto feed Almonte diamond core
saw. Half core samples were collected for assay except duplicate
samples which are quarter cut. All remaining core is retained and stored
in core trays on site.
• All RC samples were cone split at the drill rig with sample size and
wet/dry notes made on RC sample sheets.
• RC and diamond core duplicate samples were taken every 25 samples
to evaluate whether samples were representative and as a check on
laboratory methods.
• Sample preparation was undertaken by ALS Perth.
• At the laboratory, samples were weighed, dried and crushed to -6mm.
The crushed sample was subsequently bulk-pulverised in an LM5 ring
mill to achieve a nominal particle size of 85% passing <75um.
• Sample sizes and laboratory preparation techniques are considered to
be appropriate for the commodity being targeted.
Pre-2014 Drillholes
• RC sampling involved 1m RC cuttings, split using riffle splitter in dry
materials and a wedge splitter or rotary splitter in wet materials. Usually
a 2 - 3kg sample was retained.
• DD has involved HQ and NQ core sizes. Sampling of diamond core has
involved 1m sampling, with sampling over geological intervals (down to
0.1m) in more recent holes. The diamond core has generally been cut
in half for sampling however some holes are whole core sampled and
some quarter core sampled subsequent to half core sampling where
alternate laboratory samples were submitted or thin section work was
completed.
• Where it has been suspected that drillholes were drilled down dip,
scissor holes have been drilled.
• Most drilling showed good sample recovery with the exception of some
holes drilled in 1989. All RC samples were thoroughly mixed in the riffle
splitting process. There is no stated evidence of there being sample bias
due to preferential sampling. There is no relationship between sample
recovery and grade.
• Sample sizes and laboratory preparation techniques are considered to
be appropriate for the commodity being targeted.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests
• The nature, quality and
appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered
partial or total.
• For geophysical tools,
spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc, the parameters
used in determining the analysis
including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation,
etc.
• Analysis for gold only was undertaken at ALS Perth using 50g Fire
Assay with AAS finish to a lower detection limit of 0.01ppm. Fire assay
is considered a “total” assay technique.
• No geophysical tools or other non-assay instrument types were used in
the analyses reported.
• Review of routine standard reference material and sample blanks
suggest there are no significant analytical bias or preparation errors in
the reported analyses.
• Results of analyses from field sample duplicates are consistent with the
style of mineralisation being evaluated and considered to be
representative of the geological zones which were sampled.
• Internal laboratory QAQC checks are reported by the laboratory.
• Review of the internal laboratory QAQC suggests the laboratory is
performing within acceptable limits.

Criteria Commentary Commentary
JORC Code explanation
• Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision
have been established
Pre-2014 Drillholes
• Initially, assaying utilised the aqua regia process but most assays
referred to in this report have been by fire assay with an AAS finish using
the site laboratory or off-site laboratories. A 50g charge was used. After
2000, samples were assayed at the Gidgee accredited mine-site
laboratory using the Leachwell method with approximately 30g of
sample pulverised to 85% passing -200 mesh. The analytic techniques
are considered appropriate. Where coarse gold occurred, offsite screen
fire assaying was carried out using a 105 micron sieve.
• Samples were submitted to off-site laboratories with check assays
carried out in 1988. Further check assays were carried out in other years
however this data has not been analysed. Some CRMs and blank
samples were used prior to 2002 however there is insufficient
information to complete an accurate analysis. There are records of
laboratory standards and blanks having been submitted post 2002 and
an analysis of these shows good correlation between results. No
evidence has been found in the mining process that there were issues
with assaying. An analysis of duplicates showed that in general the
precision of samples was adequate.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
• The verification of significant
intersections by either independent
or alternative company personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data,
data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.
• Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
• All RC and diamond core geological and sampling data were recorded
in the field in hard copy form, and subsequently data entered into Excel
spreadsheets.
• Assay results are merged with sampling data using established
database protocols run in house by HRN.
• Digital data (Excel spreadsheets) were uploaded into a relational
database and validated by experienced database personnel and
geological staff. Plans, cross sections and long sections were
generated, and visual validation was completed in 3D (Micromine) as
further quality control.
• Twin holes were not utilized to verify results; however, some infill
verification holes were completed to test the strike continuity of
mineralisation. Virtually all drilling confirmed expected geological and
mineralogical interpretations.
• The deposits are reasonably continuous in terms of mineralisation and
grade. The continuity and consistency of the grade intercepts down dip
and along strike give reasonable confidence in the verification of the
grade and style of deposit.
• All historic reported data has been reported in technical reports
submitted by previous tenement holders to the Western Australian
Government which are now available as open file.
• No adjustments were made to assay data except for replacing less than
detection limit values with negative detection limit numerical values.
• All significant intersections reported have been compiled and reviewed
by senior geological personnel from the Company.
Location of data
points
• Accuracy and quality of surveys
used to locate drill holes (collar and
down-hole surveys), trenches, mine
workings and other locations used
in Mineral Resource estimation.
• Specification of the grid system
used.
• Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.
• Drill hole collar locations were determined using GDA94 Zone 50
coordinates and datum.
• Drill hole collars were positioned and picked up on hole completion
using a Carlson BRx7 DGPS (GDA94 Zone 50). DGPS eastings,
northings and RL’s have been used for all RC and diamond hole collars.
• Diamond core holes are routinely surveyed for down hole deviation
using a DeviGyro set to collect readings every 5m down each hole. All
RC drill holes were surveyed for down hole deviation using an Axis
Champ Navigator north seeking downhole gyro with downhole readings
collected every 10m.
• The topography at all prospects drilled is flat, however 3D topographic
surfaces or Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) were built using a
combination of mine surveyor pickups, drill hole DGPS RL pickups and
RL’s from specifically selected DGPS points.
• Locational accuracy at the collar and down the drill hole is considered
appropriate for this stage of exploration and for resource estimation
work.

Pre-2014 Drillholes
• Planned drill hole locations were positioned by either hand-held global
positioning satellite (GPS) in AMG84 or GDA94 zone 50 datums or
pegged on local grids by a mine surveyor and transformed to GDA94
coordinates. The majority of holes have subsequently been picked up
by DGPS and were generally found to be within 1m horizontal and 1m
vertical accuracy.
• Historic drilling coordinates include both local, AMG84 and GDA94
coordinates. The Company database contains all sets of coordinates,
but for the purpose of this report the GDA94 grid coordinates have been
used. All coordinates are reported in GDA94 – Zone 50 grid datum.
• The topography at all prospects drilled is flat.
• All drill collars were displayed in Micromine and visually checked against
the DTMs. The DTMs were created using a combination of surveyed pit
and waste dump pickups, DGPS pickups of historical and more recent
drill hole collars, and specifically selected DGPS pickup points. RL data
bias or error is considered low given the flat topography at all prospects
reported.
• Down-hole surveys were routinely performed every 5m to 30m using a
range of single shot, electronic multi-shot and north seeking gyro tools.
A visual check of the traces in Micromine was also completed, with no
anomalous surveys being identified. All down survey data is recorded in
the Company’s drill hole database.
• Survey details for some historical holes are not known.
• Location data is considered to be of sufficient accuracy for reporting of
mineral resources.
Data spacing
and distribution
• Data spacing for reporting of
Exploration Results.
• Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to establish
the degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.
• Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
• Holes reported were drilled at nominal 15m to 20m spacings on
sections, with sections spaced 20m, 25m or 40m apart depending on
the existing drill line spacing. Holes were drilled vertically (Think Big),
towards 2700(GDA94z50) at Hyperno-Reliance, South Reliance,
Manikato, Specimen Well, Think Big, Toedter, Heron South and Snook,
towards 900(GDA94z50) at Eagle, and Eagles Peak South, towards 550
at Hawk and Kingfisher, towards 80 at Melbourne Bitter, and towards
340and 740at Shiraz.
• The reported drilling has not yet been used to estimate any mineral
resources or reserves, however the drill hole distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for
Mineral Resource estimation procedures and classifications.
• Sample compositingwasnot applied to thereportedintervals.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
• Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to
which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
• If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.
• Drilling has targeted known mineralisation which has been previously
drilled in some detail. Holes have therefore generally been drilled to
intersect target zones at an optimal orientation (perpendicular) and no
significant sampling bias is expected.
Sample security • The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
• Samples are stored on site in a locked compound before being
delivered by company personnel to the Toll/Global Express depot in
Meekatharra, prior to road transport to the laboratory in Perth via a
large reputable trucking company (normally Toll or Global Express).
Pre-2014 Drillholes
• There is no evidence to suggest inadequate drill sample security prior
to 2014.
Audits or
reviews
• The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
• There have been no external audits or reviews of the Company’s
sampling techniques or data.

Pre-2014 Drillholes
• An Audit was carried out in 2003 by Resource Evaluations Pty Ltd. The
only issue raised was that a Kempe diamond rig was used for
underground drilling and the resulting BQ core samples may have been
too small. Underground drilling assays have not been reported here.

Acknowledgment and appraisal
of exploration by other parties.
Significant historical exploration work has been completed via “industry standard”
procedures by other Companies including geochemical surface sampling, mapping,
airborne and surface geophysical surveys, and substantial RAB, RC and DD drilling.
The project boasts a long list of reputable previous owners and operators including:
Pancontinental Mining Ltd, Dalrymple Resources, Metana Resources, Noranda Pty
Ltd, Legend Mining Ltd, Kundana Gold Pty Ltd, Goldfields Kalgoorlie Ltd, Australian
Resources Ltd, Arimco Mining Pty Ltd, Apex Gold Pty Ltd, Abelle Ltd and Panoramic

The Gum Creek Gold Project has previously been mined for gold by open pit and
underground techniques. Exploration and mining completed by previous owners since
discovery has led to good understanding of geology, rock mechanics and
mineralisation especially within the areas mined.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.
The project is located in the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt, within the Southern Cross
Province of the Youanmi Terrane, a part of the Archaean Yilgarn craton in Western
Australia. The Gum Creek Greenstone belt forms a lensoid, broadly sinusoidal
structure approximately 110 km long and 24 km wide. It is dominated by mafic
volcanic and sedimentary sequences.
Eagle
Gold mineralisation at Eagle occurs as steeply dipping quartz-carbonate shear veins
and flat lying quartz-carbonate tension vein arrays developed in altered basalt within
the NNW oriented steeply west dipping Kingfisher shear zone. Carbonate-sericite-
sulphide wall rock alteration is common proximal to mineralised zones and extensive
supergene gold enrichment often overlays primary mineralisation.

Reliance Gold mineralisation identified to date at Reliance is mainly flat lying supergene with narrow quartz veined limonitic saprolite with narrow steeply east dipping primary mineralisation extending at depth into altered quartz veined mafic volcanics within at least two sub-parallel mineralised shear zones. Mineralisation has a continuous 380 metre strike length. The area is deeply weathered, with the base of complete oxidation between 60 and 80 metres below surface. South Reliance Gold mineralisation at South Reliance is associated with quartz-carbonate-pyrite veins within sericite-carbonate altered basalt and dolerite units. Mineralisation dips steeply to the east and has a continuous 500 metre strike length. There appears to be a small amount of flat lying supergene mineralisation at South Reliance with the base of complete oxidation at 50m or less. Hyperno Gold mineralisation at Hyperno is associated with quartz veined limonitic saprolite within two sub-parallel mineralised zones. Mineralisation is both flat lying (supergene) and dips moderately to the east, is defined to a maximum vertical depth of approximately 100 metres, and has a continuous 600 metre strike length. The area is deeply weathered, with the base of complete oxidation between 60m and 100 metres below surface. Hawk Gold mineralisation at Hawk is associated with quartz veined limonitic saprolite and pyritic sericite-silica altered basalt within two sub-parallel, steeply south-west dipping shear zones containing abundant flat-lying quartz tension veins. Mineralisation is continuous over a 450 metre strike, is currently defined to a maximum vertical depth of approximately 130 metres and high grade gold mineralisation appears to plunge to the north. The base of complete oxidation extends to over 120 metres below surface and high-grade supergene enrichment overlays primary gold mineralisation. Shiraz Gold mineralisation at Shiraz is associated with a thick, quartz veined pyritepyrrhotite-rich quartz dolerite unit that dips steeply to the west. Mineralisation is continuous over a 700 metre strike, and is currently defined to a maximum vertical depth of approximately 180 metres. Melbourne Bitter Gold mineralisation at Melbourne Bitter is located within deeply weathered quartz veined, sheared and altered basalt. Mineralisation within Horizon’s tenure is continuous over a 700 metre strike length and is currently only defined to a vertical depth of approximately 120 metres. Primary gold mineralisation at Melbourne Bitter (north) strikes north-northwest, and dips at ~70[0] to the west, whilst in the south, mineralisation dips at ~30[0] to the west in a series of stacked gold lodes. The prospect area is deeply weathered with the base of complete oxidation between 80 and 100 metres below surface. Toedter Gold mineralisation at Toedter is associated with quartz-carbonate-pyrite veined, strongly carbonate-chlorite altered basalt and amphibolite located within a series of stacked moderate to steep east dipping ore zones that appear to plunge shallowly to the south. Mineralisation is continuous over a 350-metre strike and is currently defined to a maximum vertical depth of ~140 metres, with the base of complete oxidation at ~40 metres below surface. Snook Gold mineralisation at Snook North and Snook South is associated with quartzsulphide veined, moderate to strong silica-sericite altered fine grained sediments within steep east and moderate southeast dipping shear zones respectively. The footwall contains pillowed and amygdaloidal basalt with elongated amygdales defining a steeply s-plunging stretch lineation. Eagles Peak South Gold mineralisation at Eagles Peak South is associated with quartz-carbonate veined, basalt located within two north-northwest trending sub-parallel mineralised lodes that dip steep to moderately west.

and is currently defined to a maximum vertical depth of ~80 metres, with the base of
complete oxidation at ~40 metres below surface.
Think Big
Gold mineralisation at Think Big is continuous over a 1 kilometre strike length and is
located within a shallow to moderate east dipping shear zone. Mineralisation is
associated with quartz veined limonitic saprolite and quartz-carbonate-sulphide shear
veins within altered basalt. The prospect is deeply weathered, with the base of
complete oxidation between 75 and 95 metres below surface with supergene
enrichment often overlaying primary mineralisation. A NE-trending fault showing
sinistral offset cuts through the centre of the prospect area.
Manikato
Gold mineralisation at Manikato is located within a north-northwest trending, moderate
east dipping shear zone. Mineralisation is associated with quartz veined limonitic
saprolite and quartz-carbonate-sulphide shear veins within bleached and chlorite
altered basalt and is continuous over at least a 700m strike length. The prospect is
deeply weathered, with the base of complete oxidation between 75 and 95 metres
below surface with a broad zone of high-grade supergene enrichment overlaying
primary mineralisation.
Kingfisher
Gold mineralisation at Kingfisher is located within two moderate southwest-dipping,
planar gold lodes within a 60m wide, 1.2km long shear zone that remains open to the
north, south and at depth. Both lodes are interpreted to contain moderate to shallow
south plunging high grade gold shoots forming part of an overlapping en-echelon vein
array stepping down to the north. Gold mineralisation is associated with quartz-
sulphide veining within sheared, strongly sericite - carbonate - fuchsite - sulphide
altered amygdaloidal basalt units (hanging wall) and fine-grained sediments (footwall).
Weathering extends to ~60 to 100m below and extensive supergene enrichment often
overlays primary mineralisation.

the exploration results including a
tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill
holes:

easting and northing of the
drill hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced

Relevant drill hole information and reported results are tabulated within the body of
this announcement.
The drill holes reported have the following parameters applied;
• Grid co-ordinates are GDA94 zone 50
• Collar elevation is defined as height above sea level in metres (RL)
• Dip is the inclination of the hole from the horizontal. Azimuth is reported in
GDA94 zone 50 degrees as the direction toward which the hole is drilled.
• Depth of the hole is the distance from the surface to the end of the hole, as
measured along the drill trace.
• Intercept Width is the down hole distance of an intercept as measured along
the drill trace.

If the exclusion of this information
is justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and
this exclusion does not detract
from the understanding of the

the case.
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are
usually Material and should be
stated.

Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths
of low grade results, the
procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and
some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in
detail.

The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
• All drill hole intersections are reported from 1 metre down hole samples (but
may include 2m composite samples where noted).
• Intersection gold grade is calculated as length weighted average of sample
grades.
• A minimum cut-off grade of 0.2g/t Au is applied to the reported intervals.
• Maximum internal dilution is 2m within a reported interval.
• No top cut-off grade has been applied.
• No metal equivalent reporting is used or applied.
• All intercepts greater than 2 GxM are reported in Tables B to M.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths

These relationships are
particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the
mineralisation with respect to the
drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the
down hole lengths are reported,
there should be a clear statement
to this effect (eg down hole
length, true width not known’).
Eagle
Primary gold mineralisation at Eagle dips ~450to the east with drilling oriented at right
angles to strike and at ~750to dip implying true width of mineralisation to be ~97% of
intercept width (this assumes a -600drill hole dip at reported intercept depths).
Reliance
The majority of gold mineralisation at Reliance is oxide/supergene mineralisation that
is generally flat lying. Where mineralisation is flat lying the true width is ~87% of the
intercept width.
South Reliance
Primary gold mineralisation at South Reliance dips ~700to the east with drilling
oriented at right angles to strike and at ~50 degrees to dip implying true width of

oriented at right angles to strike and at ~85 degrees to dip implying true width of
mineralisation to be ~95% of intercept width. The orientation of oxide/supergene
mineralisation at Hawk varies and is generally flat lying, so true widths of drill
intercepts at depths <50m will vary accordingly.

is generally flat lying with the true width of mineralisation being ~87% of the intercept
width. Primary gold mineralisation at Think Big strikes north-northwest, and dips at
~400to the east, with drilling oriented at right angles to strike and at an average of
~800to the dip of mineralisation, implying true width of mineralisation to be ~98% of
intercept width (this assumes a -600drill hole dip at reported intercept depths).
Manikato
A significant amount of gold mineralisation at Manikato is oxide/supergene
mineralisation that is generally flat lying with the true width of mineralisation being
~87% of the intercept width. Primary gold mineralisation at Manikato strikes 3400with
drilling oriented at 200to strike implying true width to be 95% of the intercept width.
