Kaiser Reef Limited – Gold Miner and Explorer

Kaiser the Miner (VIC)

  • Previous owner, Centennial was in Voluntary Administration - Complex process but this was also the opportunity

  • Historic production of +2.0M ounces of gold across 2 goldfields on the LFB

  • Operating mine and processing plant

  • Excellent exploration potential

  • Raised $7.5M and Kaiser now wholly owns the Centennial Assets (Assets)

The Centennial Assets – Victoria (+2Moz gold historic production)

The A1 Mine

  • The operating A1 Mine gold mine ( last 18 months mined 11.4 g/t gold )

  • A1 has been operating most of the period since its discovery in 1861

  • The A1 has excellent exploration potential

  • Exploring the Queens Lode at the A1 mine ( currently drilling) as a priority development prospect

The Process Plant

  • +150,000 t/pa CIP gold processing plant located at Maldon

  • Reduced mining rate whilst under Administration (~20% of capacity) – opportunity to ramp up production

  • Strategically surrounded by active gold explorers

The Maldon Goldfield

  • Historic production of ~1.7M ounces of gold at 28 g/t gold head grade. Union Hill Mine/Eagle Field Reef System at Maldon ( on care and maintenance )

  • Nuggety Reef Mine (produced 301,000 oz gold at 187 g/t gold - previous scoping study )

The Strategy – Victoria Assets

A1 Mine

  • Commence resource and reserve drilling

  • Exploiting the Queens Lode at the A1 mine (increased mining rate) – Kaiser is targeting a ramp up production.

  • Explore and develop below historic workings

Maldon

  • Currently reduced mining rate under administration (~20% of capacity)

  • Strong Exploration Potential from:

  • Union Hill Mine/Eagle Field Reef System at Maldon ( on care and maintenance )

  • Nuggety Mine at Maldon ( previous scoping study )

Targeting strong margins per ounce of gold

Visible gold from A1 mine Q4 2020

Drawing on resources from 2 major Victorian Gold Fields to supply wholly owned mill

Opportunity for rapid production from discovery – minimal CAPEX

The A1 Mine

Fact

  • Discovered 1861 and in production of majority of time since

  • Production of ~500,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 25.9 g/t gold

  • Provided the processing plant with ore grading 11.4 g/t gold over the past 18 months

Opportunity

  • No reserves and minimal resources under administration – exploration a priority to build resource base

  • Mineralisation remains open at depth –exceptional exploration opportunity

  • Drilling has commenced…

==> picture [355 x 234] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [355 x 212] intentionally omitted <==

The A1 Mine

  • Looking to expand resources, define reserves and increase production rate

  • First target for bulk mining – the Queens Lode

  • Resource drilling commenced – decline on standby

Historic drill hits at Queens include:*

  • A1UDH-325: 11.9m @ 16.3 g/t gold

  • L7-008: 25.0m @ 7.3 g/t gold

  • Opportunity to increase mining rate by mid-2021, supplementing the current Air Leg mining by utilising Long-hole Open Stoping methods

  • Substantial tonnage and production increases sought

  • Drill holes announced to the ASX:CTL, 2 November 2017 Centennial

The Processing Plant – Maldon “Porcupine Flat”

  • Wholly owned 150,000 tpa Carbon in Pulp (CIP) gold processing plant

  • Located on the Maldon Goldfield, Victoria

  • Historically strong gold recoveries

  • Important strategic location with numerous surrounding gold explorers

  • Operating below capacity – plans to ramp up production, opportunity to be expanded

  • Discovery to integrated production opportunity

==> picture [248 x 386] intentionally omitted <==

The Maldon Goldfield

  • Wholly owned major historic high-grade goldfield

  • Located at the township of Maldon Gold Field, Victoria

  • Maldon supplementary gold operations could support increased production

  • Numerous priority exploration targets such as Union Hill and Nuggety Reef

  • Existing decline into Union Hill on care and maintenance

  • Portal established at Nuggety Reef – but no drive developed as yet

  • Historically Nuggety Reef was one of Australia's highest grade mines with recorded production of 301,000 Oz at 187 g/t gold

  • Results from previous drilling returned extremely high gold grades down dip

==> picture [516 x 356] intentionally omitted <==

  • With established processing plant, infrastructure, expertise and equipment – the path from discovery to production should be fast
