Southern Gold Ltd has an Option to Purchase Agreement for the Transfind South tenements from 2 Kalgoorlie-based prospectors provided 2,000m of drilling has been completed (see ASX Release 18[th] January 2017). To date a 984m RC drilling program was completed to follow up on high-grade rock chips, high-grade historical drilling, and gold-in-soil anomalism. A second program of approximately 1,000m is currently being planned for the second half of 2018.

The aim of the first pass drilling was to intersect high-grade gold mineralisation amenable to open-pit mining along strike from the Transfind Pit and to test a 230ppb soil anomaly.

Southern Gold Managing Director, Mr Simon Mitchell “ Nice to see some high grade intercepts out of our first pass drilling at Transfind South. And by high grade I mean in excess of 20g/t gold. Our target here is a deposit with very high grades that will be amenable to trucking some distance to a plant. So far it seems to be shaping up nicely vindicating the potential highlighted by the Kalgoorlie-based prospectors.

And at Cowarna it is great to hit mineralisation in our very first drill programme. It needs to be remembered that we have more than 20 strike kilometers of prospective BIF unit and we have only started on a small section of it in two locations. There is huge potential here.”

Transfind South historical work

Mineralisation at Transfind was discovered in the 1920's. Shallow workings and alluvials from the Dawn of Hope, a prospect contained within Special Lease 36, are recorded to have produced 29,790oz of gold from 445 tons of ore, an average grade of 204.9g/t of gold. Gold mineralisation is hosted by andesitic and dacitic tuffs containing relict fresh pyrite, and by narrow quartz veins. Both styles of gold mineralisation contain free gold, the quartz veins containing angular fragments of coarse free gold and external films of secondary gold. Isolated intersections of mineralised quartz veining were reported to return assay values of over 1,000g/t of gold.

Between 1975 and 1985 Hampton Gold Mining Areas, Hill Minerals and ACM mapped and sampled the area. In 1986 Hampton Areas Ltd carried out a small scale RAB and RC drilling program which was followed in 1987 by one minor and two major Reverse Circulation and diamond core drilling programs.

Recently (ASX release 11[th] May 2017), Overland Resources conducted a program of RC drilling under and around the historic Transfind open pit, immediately north of the Southern Gold program. This program confirmed the continuity of the structures hosting the mineralisation, as well as the potential for repeats of the structures at depth. Targeting of drilling at structural junctions has the potential to intersect thickened zones of high grade mineralisation similar to SAU’s intersections south of the pit.

Transfind South current results

Previously, only wide spaced drilling had taken place over the project and reported a peak interval of 4 m @ 6.14 g/t Au. Based on this previous work completed in the area, the exploration target was a small, high-grade system hidden between and below previous drilling.

The drilling was targeted at intersections of structural features coinciding with anomalous soil geochemistry. Mineralisation was successfully intersected in all drillholes, highlights of which are summarized in Table 1 , and defined continuously mineralised structures of similar orientation to those mined in the Transfind open pit in the mid 1990’s.

A follow up program is planned once additional anomalous (>0.1 g/t) composite interval results have been returned on peripheral holes. As can be seen in the following series of cross sections, there is excellent continuity of high grade down along strike and down dip. Further drilling will be planned to test the depth extensions and geological model of high grade lenticular pods along strike.

-3-

While there may be continuity between the Gallon Prospect and Transfind South this is constrained by the main N-S structure (Footwall Lode shear) that bounds the mineralisation to the west, but the Gallon quartz vein appears to be a separate splay structure. This will be tested in the follow up drilling.

Cowarna Project

A reverse-circulation (RC) drill program was undertaken to test the Southern Gold 100% owned Pryde and Logan gold prospects. Gold targets were outlined by several rounds of historical soil geochemistry and rockchip samples, and recent rock chip sampling and geological mapping completed by Southern Gold in mid2017.

Drilling at Cowarna was comprised of 16 RC holes for a total of 1649m. Drilling at Pryde and Logan confirmed the presence of gold mineralised zones which may be secondary indications to significant mineralisation at depth. Best intersections at Logan include COWRC003 that returned 8m @ 1.05g/t Au and at Pryde COWRC010 returned 2m @ 1.51g/t Au. See Table 2 below for details.

Anomalous composite intervals (>0.1g/t Au and >30 ppm As) were re-assayed on the original individual metre samples and all assays have been received and are reported below.

The drilling has delineated the location and dip of the prospective BIF horizons within the northern limits of the Eastern BIF unit. This will allow accurate targeting of the more prospective, stratigraphically lower Maxwell’s BIF Member in the upcoming EIS co-funded deep diamond drilling.

Pryde Target

Eight holes (COWRC009 to COWRC016) were drilled for 824m along two sections approximately 100m apart, targeting a NNW trending 300m x 100m +50 ppb gold-in-soil anomaly with coincident rock chip gold results up to 4.5 g/t Au. The anomaly is situated within the Santa BIF unit which includes interbedded siliceous magnetite BIF, mudstone and micaceous greywacke and is aligned along the anticlinal fold axis ( Figures 8 and 9 ). Gold grades report to altered and quartz veined BIF and mudstone lithologies. Stratigraphy in the area is folded into a tight anti-form and is strongly folded and faulted. Unlike the Logan prospect, the soil anomaly does not appear to be associated with E-W, cross-cutting faults common in the area.

Anomalous gold grades were concentrated at the base of weathering but coincided with BIF units containing mineralisation in surface rock chips ( Figure 9 ). All these occurrences are in the lowest stratigraphic BIF horizons tested in the current phase of drilling. This is highly encouraging for the potential presence of mineralisation within the lower Maxwell’s BIF Member. This unit will be targeted in the upcoming EIS cofunded diamond drilling planned for the second half of 2018.

Logan Target

At the Logan prospect eight holes (COWRC001 to COWRC008) were drilled for 824m along two sections approximately 90m apart, targeting a NW trending 300 x 80 m +50 ppb gold in soil anomaly with coincident rock chip gold results up to 6.5 g/t Au. The anomaly is situated within the Santa BIF unit which includes interbedded siliceous magnetite BIF, mudstone and micaceous greywacke ( Figure 8 and 10 ). Gold grades report to altered and quartz veined BIF and mudstone lithologies. Stratigraphy in the area is folded into a tight anti-form and is strongly folded and faulted.

As with the Pryde drilling, the intended outcome of this first-pass, wide-spaced drill program was to determine the geometry of the BIF horizons, intersect economic gold mineralisation below the soil anomalism and high-grade rock-chips and to inform a second round of targeted diamond or RC drilling.

Similar to the Pryde mineralisation, the anomalous gold grades were strongly confined to a single BIF horizon which was also the stratigraphically lowest BIF unit intersected. The strongest gold intersections (COWRC003 and COWRC002) are also seen in the core of the anticlinal fold but are closely associated with a NW trending, cross-cutting fault. Further drilling, including diamond drilling will be required to clearly define the nature of the structural controls on mineralisation.

Monument South Project

Monument South drilling was completed on the 9th of April with 16 holes on four sections totaling 1332m ( Figure 11 ). The program was designed to test the Southern Gold 100% owned Monument South biogeochemical gold anomaly ( Figure 12 ). Two gold targets were outlined by recent biogeochemical sampling completed by Southern Gold in mid-2017. The sampling was designed to test for deeper targets either under transported cover or under barren bedrock. Unfortunately, assay results show very little anomalous gold despite strong zones of alteration and sulphide being present.

Main Target

A total of 12 holes along three sections were designed to test the cover and basement for 100m around the anomalous biogeochemistry. Because significant zones of alteration and sulphides were intersected, it was decided to drill four additional holes into a second anomaly on the western side of the creek.

To further determine the origin of the biogeochemical anomaly, the entire surface of the area was covered with a metal detector to determine if any surface gold is present and contributing to the anomaly. This was a significant factor in the Monument Prospect to the north where over 4,000 ounces of gold were recovered in the top soil by prospectors. However, no significant mineralisation was intersected.

==> picture [335 x 237] intentionally omitted <==

Secondary Target

This feature is a second biogeochemical gold anomaly running parallel to the Monument trend on the western side of the main creek system. The anomalous gold trend on this side of the creek, paralleling the main Monument trend, can also be seen in the auger soil sampling further to the north.

An additional 4 holes were drilled at the same orientation and depth over the anomaly on the western side of the creek. These holes intersected a major fault zone with strong alteration and common sulphides. Unfortunately no significant gold anomalism was reported in the assays.

Future Work

Southern Gold intends to follow up with a second RC drill program at Transfind South and a follow up review of the Cowarna targets after the completion of an EIS funded diamond drill program targeted for the last quarter of CY2018.

Southern Gold Limited: Company Profile

Southern Gold Ltd is a successful gold explorer and producer listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (under ASX ticker “SAU”). At the Cannon project near Kalgoorlie we are currently developing a small underground operation where Northern Star Resources Ltd holds a five year right-to-mine. Southern Gold is also looking to develop a much larger mine, Gubong, in South Korea within the next 12-18 months with development partner London-listed Bluebird Merchant Ventures.

We are also active explorers. Around Kalgoorlie Southern Gold is testing projects such as Glandore, Transfind Extended and Cowarna looking for additional small high grade open pit-able gold resources to maintain cash flow. In South Korea, Southern Gold also owns a portfolio of high grade gold projects that are a combination of decommissioned gold mines with orogenic gold mineralisation and greenfield epithermal gold targets. Backed by a first-class technical team, including renowned geologist Douglas Kirwin, Southern Gold’s aim is to find world-class epithermal gold deposits.

In essence, Southern Gold looks to monetise the small gold deposits while we search for the bigger ones.
