  • UH-UDH-021: 1.5m @ 6.5 g/t gold

  • Exploration initially targeting the Eaglehawk Reef within Maldon at depth (past production from the Eaglehawk Reef is 491,400 Oz gold )

  • Decline power and ventilation - the decline was subject to minor upgrades such as the electrical distribution to support the underground activities

  • Drilling ongoing

Kaiser Reef Limited ( ASX:KAU ) (“ Kaiser” , or the “Company” ) is extremely pleased to announce the first exploration results for the high-grade Maldon historic gold mine located between Bendigo and Ballarat. The Maldon Goldfield is 100% owned by Kaiser and is comprised of several historic underground mines. After some minor refurbishment work a modern established decline under the goldfield is being used by Kaiser to support this drilling activity.

The results were returned from underground diamond drilling at the high-grade Maldon gold mine with a powerful LM90 Boart Longyear diamond drilling rig (Figure 1). The drilling rig is operating well from underground at the Union Hill decline. The results returned some excellent high-grade intervals (Figure 2) which are characteristic of previously mined areas at Maldon. In the context of the “contained metal” we are pleased to report that 5 of the 11 drillholes returned an exceptionally high average “gram x metre” interval of 20.5 g/t gold. Most of the

==> picture [75 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

drill holes intercepted the Eaglehawk target reef at its projected location. The drilling results are included in Table 1.

Managing Director, Jonathan Downes stated that “ We are delighted that we are finding high grade gold in our first trial drilling campaign. Maldon is one of the great goldfields and it has received extraordinarily limited modern exploration. The significant amount of gold historically won ( 1.74Moz @ 28 g/t gold ), mostly within 300 metres of the surface, offers fabulous opportunity at depth. We are just warming up in exploring this wholly owned, high grade multimillion ounce goldfield. We have a talented geological team and the ongoing drilling programme will be increasingly stepped out, expanded and exploration for new lodes at depth will be targeted.”

The diamond drilling rig is currently located in the “1060 Access” area of the Union Hill decline which represents the deepest level within modern day development.

The initial drilling target is near the Alliance South deposit - see Figure 3,4 & 5. The Alliance South deposit is defined by the north-south striking Eaglehawk Reef, at the southern termination of the Central Maldon Shear zone. The Alliance South deposit comprises a fault bound shallow dipping western and steep dipping eastern reef which make up the overall Eaglehawk Reef structure which was mined extensively from the Alliance group of shafts. Higher grades are associated with the Western Reef with occasional widths historically reportedly exceeding 5m.

The Alliance South lode is located on a nexus of the structural zone where the Eaglehawk Reef passes from the east limb of the German Anticline into the hinge zone of the German Syncline. The up-dip projection of the Eaglehawk Reef was stoped to the south on the 1080 and 1060 Levels. The planned drilling is poised to delineate a down-dip resource in addition to following up on regions that returned historic high-grade intersections such as DDH104 (2.8m @ 14.87 g/t Au).

The Alliance South lode within the Eaglehawk Reef represents a structural domain south of a major fault known as the Moons Cross Course and north of the Nankivell Cross Course. This structural domain had limited historical mining due to these major discontinuities inhibiting underground development for risk of flood inundation and related geotechnical conditions that were beyond historic engineering capabilities.

Kaiser owns a small-scale Kempe Diamond drilling rig which was initially utilised to commence early drilling, before the arrival of the larger LM90 from Kaiser’s A1 where it had been drilling for over 9 months. Production and effectiveness of the Kempe rig was substantially below expectations and some of the deeper targets were not tested and it was retired as soon as the more powerful diamond drilling rig arrived on site. Nevertheless, the Kempe drilling rig did intercept mineralisation at the targeted locations and the results are detailed in Figure 6 and Table 2.

The Maldon Goldfield

The town of Maldon is located between Bendigo and Ballarat in the Victorian Goldfields. The Maldon Project (Maldon) is within a 100%-owned licence area that has produced over 1.74M ounces of gold at 28 g/t. Maldon hosts one of Australia’s highest grade historic gold mines, the Nuggety Reef, that produced 301,000 ounces of gold at 187 g/t.

Maldon has an established and serviced decline which allows excellent underground access for drilling high-grade shoots and is currently facilitating the underground drilling and ultimately, could allow recommencement of modern mining if exploration is successful.

The Maldon goldfield is located in the Bendigo Zone, is hosted in similar geology and has undergone the same broad structural deformation and mineralisation events as regional Bendigo. Large deposits within the Bendigo area currently being exploited include the Fosterville Mine operated by Kirkland Lake Gold (Canada). The regional-scale mineralisation event is also the driver of goldfields at Bendigo, Fosterville, Castlemaine, Maldon and Daylesford.

One of the Maldon’s key advantages is the extensive existing infrastructure and proximity to Kaiser’s operating gold processing plant (3 km away) and that it is held under a granted Mining Licence. If exploration proves successful, rapid and lowcost development could be implemented utilising Kaisers mining fleet and experienced mining team for minimal capital cost.

==> picture [75 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

The drilling programme is intended to continue for a prolonged period, with an initial programme including over 20 drillholes from underground. The programme may be extended based on results. Drilling results will be released in batches once assay results are received.

Kaiser considers Maldon to be an underexplored and extremely prospective prolific high grade historic goldfield. Exploration at Maldon is a high priority objective for Kaiser.

Drilling has initially targeted the projected extensions to historic high-grade mineralisation at the Alliance South lode within the Eaglehawk Reef, one of Maldon’s largest high grade lodes that produced nearly 500,000 ounces of gold. The initial drilling program targeted regions identified as being close to the existing underground development and with historical encouraging results within the Union Hill decline. This drilling will initially test identified mineralised areas and step out to explore for and define economic ore zones.

Some of the historic high-grade gold drilling results from across Maldon that require follow up include:

  • 0.90m @ 103.0 g/t gold

  • 2.73m @ 42.2 g/t gold

  • 2.75m @ 22.6 g/t gold

  • 0.44m @ 205.0 g/t gold

  • 2.00m @ 58.0 g/t gold

  • 2.30m @ 12.5 g/t gold

  • 0.83m @ 80.0 g/t gold

  • 1.0m @ 45.5 g/t gold

  • 3.55m @ 11.9 g/t gold

  • 2.95m @ 18.5 g/t gold

  • 0.85m @ 114.6 g/t gold

Kaiser has previously announced that the regulatory approvals have been received to commence drilling for surface drilling at the Nuggety Reef historic gold mine at the Northern end of the Maldon goldfield (Figure 8). A drilling rig has been sourced however a drilling crew is still being sourced to operate it.

A research paper prepared by Peloton Capital is available for download on the Kaiser website under the Investors tab:

Union Hill Drilling – November 2021

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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 (e.g.
‘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 (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
 All sampling results reported are from diamond
drilling collared in underground mine
development in the Union Hill Mine (MIN5146).
 Whole core was submitted for sampling. The
samples were dried, crushed and pulverised, then
fire assayed (30g charge) for Au at the NATA
accredited Gekko Laboratory at Ballarat.
 All samples were dried, crushed and pulverised,
then fire assayed (30g) for Au at the NATA
accredited Gekko Laboratory.
 QAQC protocols in place include the insertion of
blanks and standards inserted at random or at
more selective intervals such as immediately after
samples of visible gold intersections, and insertion
of higher grade standards within samples from
high grade zones.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. 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.).
 All of the holes being reported are diamond drill
holes from a compressed air operated rig known
as a Kempe.
 Diamond drilling was completed by Core
Prospecting using a Kempe drill rig. The core
diameter drilled was LTK-48 (35.3mm), with the
core orientated using a Reflex ACT II orientation
tool.
 The Kempe rig used the conventional drilling
process to recover core from the barrel.
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.
 RQD and recovery data are recorded in the
geology logs for all drilling being reported.
 Core loss is recorded by drillers on run sheets and
core blocks placed in core trays.
 Core runs were generally shorter due to the
nature of the drilling process and ground
conditions.
 No significant sample loss has been correlated
with a corresponding increase in Au 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 isqualitative orquantitative in

including lithology, mineralisation, veining,
structure, alteration and sampling data.
 Logging methods include both qualitative and
quantitative parameters in assessing the

 All core has been photographed before sampling.
 The Kempe program was infilling between existing
historic holes with mineralisation and no
geotechnical logging was undertaken other than
standard Rock Quality Designation (RQD)
measurements.
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.
 Whole core was submitted for sampling due to
the size.
 Core samples were assayed at the independent
Gekko laboratory located in Ballarat. After drying,
samples were crushed, and pulverised to 95%
passing 75µm.
 Internal QAQC insertion of blanks and standards is
routinely carried out. Random and select insertion
is applied, i.e. blanks are inserted directly after
samples containing visible gold. The Gekko
laboratory has its own QAQC program which is
reported with results and a monthly QAQC
review.
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.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted
(e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision
have been established.
 The sample preparation and assay method of 30g
Fire Assay is acceptable for this style of deposit
and can be considered a total assay.
 Industry standards are followed for all sample
batches, including the insertion of commercially
available CRM’s and blanks. The insertion rate is
approximately 1 every 10 to 20 samples both
randomly and selects positions, such as blanks
inserted after samples containing visible gold.
QAQC results (Both CTL and internal laboratory
QAQC) are reviewed by CTL geological staff upon
receipt of the assay results. No issues were raised
with the data being reported.
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 field data is entered directly into an excel
spreadsheet with front end validation built in to
prevent spurious data entry.
 Data was collected at the Union Hill core facility
and is stored on a server at the A1 Mine
(MIN5294) with daily backups. Backed up data is
also stored offsite.
 Significant intersections are reviewed by
geological staff upon receipt, to ensure the
intersections match the logging data, with the
checks including verification of QAQC results.
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.
 All holes are labelled during the drilling process,
and all holes have been picked up by CTL mine
surveyors.
 Holes are labelled by drillers upon completion of
the hole.

==> picture [75 x 42] intentionally omitted <==

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.  Down hole surveys were taken at 15m, and every
15m or end of hole after this with a reflex single
shot camera.
 Grid used is MGA_GDA94.
 The topography control was received from
previous operations owners and is of a high
standard and consists of a DTM surface.
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.
 The program consisted of 5 holes only which
ranged in collar spacing from 7.5 – 30m.
 Grade continuity has been correlated with known
narrow vein structures from previous drilling on
the 1120 North drive.
 Sample compositing has not been applied to the
Kempe drilling program.
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.
 The Kempe program was planned to intersect the
Eaglehawk Reef between historic drill holes.
 Holes were positioned perpendicular to the strike
of the reef to achieve as close to true thickness as
possible.
 Due to the relatively perpendicular intersection
angle of the Eaglehawk Reef, the majority of the
drill angles are not expected to produce any
sampling bias factors.
 Given there were other mineralized intersections
not associated with the Eaglehawk Reef, there is a
chance of some bias, which have been identified
and will be modelled accordingly.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security.  Samples were transported from the drill site to
the laboratory or the Maldon Processing Plant
either by CTL staff, or contractors. Calico bags
containing the sample were places inside larger
white poly weave bags, with this white bag sealed
with a plastic tie. Samples that were taken to
Maldon were placed in a locked security box and
collected by the sole trader courier.
 Core samples numbers and dispatch references
are sequential and have no reference to hole
number.
 Core trays containing visible gold are stored inside
the locked core shed until logged.

Exploration included mapping, rock chip
sampling, geophysics, drilling and historic open
pit and underground mining.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The Maldon goldfield is located in the central
part of the Bendigo Zone of the Lachlan Fold
Belt. The host rocks are Ordovician turbiditic
metasediments of the Castlemaine Group which
have been metamorphosed to lower greenschist
facies and folded into a north-south trending
series of chevron golds with doubly plunging fold
axes.

Gold mineralisation is most abundant in quartz
veining associated with reef structures.
 Gold at Maldon has been described as showing
an association with arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite and
minor amounts of other base metal sulphides.
Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information for all
Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above
sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.

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 report, the Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.

Refer to Table of Drill Results -Table 1 and Table
2.
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
lowgrade results, theprocedure usedfor such

Assays length weighted.

No metal equivalents have been reported.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
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’). _

The geometry of the mineralisation is explained
within the text and shown is the figures.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

Refer to Figures in text.
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration
Results is not practicable, representative reporting
of both low and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.

All results have been reported.
Other
substantive
exploration data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material,
should be reported including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical survey results;
geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.

No other data to report.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (eg
tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions, including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided
this information is not commercially sensitive.

Exploration drilling with the Kempe rig has been
completed.

Continued drilling at Union hill is being
conducted with an LM90 electric drill.
