ASX Announcement 11 March 2022

Excellent Metallurgy Results from Initial Flotation Test Work at Mt Olympus

Highlights

  • Outstanding gold recoveries returned from initial test work on four metallurgical composites from the large Mt Olympus deposit contained within the 1.65Moz Ashburton Gold Project, WA

  • Excellent gold recovery into an initial rougher concentrate of up to 94%

  • Gold in concentrate grade averaged 31.8 g/t Au across all four composites with a maximum value of 39.2 g/t Au

  • Additional testwork now being implemented including gravity recoverable gold, final concentrate assay testing and optimisation studies to derive final gold recoveries

  • Project Development Scoping Study to commence in Q2, 2022

Kalamazoo’s Executive Director Paul Adams said today, “We are extremely pleased with this initial phase of metallurgical test work at Mt Olympus which substantially de-risks the potential development of our Ashburton Gold Project in the Pilbara. Given these positive results, we have immediately commenced the next phase of the metallurgical program which will optimise the flowsheet to enhance performance even further. The flowsheet was designed to include a multi-phase cleaner process on the initial rougher concentrate. This work had not been performed previously and we are encouraged to see the very significant difference that this has made to the final concentrate grade, especially as this work has yet to be optimised and gravity recovery work is still pending.”

Kalamazoo Resources Limited ( ASX: KZR ) ( “Kalamazoo” or “the Company” ) is pleased to report the results of its initial metallurgical test work carried out on several zones within the Company’s Mt Olympus gold deposit. Mt Olympus has an Indicated and Inferred mineral resource of 15.12Mt @ 2.2 g/t gold for 1.08 million ounces and comprises a large component of Kalamazoo’s 1.65Moz Au mineral resource at the Ashburton Gold Project.

The Ashburton Gold Project is located in the southern edge of the Pilbara Craton, which has been subject to a renewed focus on major gold discoveries and project development in recent years. This includes De Grey Mining Limited’s ( ASX: DEG ) world-class 9Moz oxide/sulphide Mallina discovery, Calidus Resources Limited’s ( ASX: CAI ) 1.5Moz Au Warrawoona Gold Project and Novo Resources Corp’s ( TSX: NVO; OTCQX: NSRPF ) Beatons Creek Gold Project.

The aim of the test work was to determine whether the Mt Olympus resource would be amenable to the production of a high-grade gold sulphide concentrate via an industry standard crush-grind-float processing circuit, commonly used world-wide on many refractory style gold deposits. The test work was also used to confirm results from previous work completed by Northern Star Resources Ltd ( ASX: NST ) ( “Northern Star” ) in 2011-12, when it owned the Ashburton Gold Project.

The initial results indicate, that subject to completion of a robust financial business case, production of a high-grade gold concentrate is likely to represent the most straight forward, technically least challenging, and lowest capital-intensive method of extracting significant value from the Ashburton Gold Project.

This initial test work utilised two RC holes drilled from the floor of the Mt Olympus open pit in 2021 (KZRC035 and KZRC036). These holes were drilled specifically for metallurgical test work purposes and were designed to provide a broad coverage through the deposit, targeting four separate interpreted zones with multiple intersections where possible.

This strategy was followed to allow for the identification of mineralogical variability within the deposit. When assimilated with the metallurgical test work performed by Northern Star in 2012, the additional data provides greater confidence of the metallurgical behaviour of different parts of the resource.

Four wireframes were targeted – sb4, sb6, sb8 and sb11, across the drill holes KZRC035 and KZRC036. Wireframes and down hole intersection information is presented in Table 1 below.

The composites were also chosen according to the gold/sulphide sulphur ratio to determine the metallurgical behaviour of the different mineralisation styles. In many refractory deposits, the gold/sulphide sulphur ratio will often determine the ability of an ore to be upgraded via flotation and therefore, the value of each tonne of ore extracted.

The general approach to the test work was to:

  1. Maximise recovery of sulphide to the Rougher Concentrate

  2. Undertake multi-stage cleaning to maximise gold grade

  3. All work undertaken in an open circuit

General Flow Sheet

Figure 1 below describes the general flow sheet devised for this initial test work. As can be seen, there was no re-circulation of tails back to the float circuit or gravity test work in this initial scouter test work. As such, Kalamazoo considers the results from this initial phase as minimum values. The next phase of test work, discussed below, will include additional flowsheet elements to optimise recovery and determine final gold recoveries.

The grind size chosen was 80% passing (P80) 106 microns (µm). The Roughing Stage was undertaken at 35% solids with four (4) rougher concentrates being produced and subjected to a standard reagent scheme followed by 3-stage cleaning.

Results

Results from the test work can be divided firstly into results from the Rougher Concentrate and secondly, the multi-stage cleaner simulation. See Table 2 below.

Rougher Floatation Results

  • Excellent rougher concentrate gold recovery between 85% and 94%

  • High rougher sulphur recovery between 87% and 96%

  • 90-95% silica (SiO2) rejection in rougher concentrate

Multi-stage Cleaning

  • Resulted in increased gold grades from the rougher concentrate by an average of >40%, with a maximum of 75.8% (Composite #4)

  • Gold in concentrate grade averaged 31.8 g/t across all four composites with a maximum of 39.2 g/t Au

  • Sulphur grade consistently achieved 49-50%, representing approximately 93% sulphur recovery

  • SiO2 grade reduced to between 1.9% and 3.6% in the final concentrate

  • Open circuit gold recovery up to 85% (gravity recovery and closed-circuit test work still to be performed)

Discussion

Kalamazoo is extremely pleased with the outcome of this early testwork at Mt Olympus. Some early encouraging inferences on the relationship between gold/sulphide sulphur ratio and the concentrate gold grade have been made, whilst also demonstrating that a rougher concentrate followed by a cleaner stage flow sheet has a very positive effect on the ultimate grade of the concentrate.

This test work has also demonstrated that for all composites, silica rejection and sulphur grade in concentrates is consistent throughout the various zones chosen for this test work.

In a positive confirmation, the test work compares very favourably with the work undertaken by Northern Star in March 2012. In this program, Northern Star chose a slightly coarser grind size in some test work at P80 135 µm realising up to 84% gold recovery from a rougher concentrate (ASX: NST 5 March 2012 “Strong Metallurgy Results at Ashburton”) compared to between 85% and 94% in Kalamazoo’s just completed test work.

Kalamazoo’s test work design also demonstrates the significant benefit from employing a cleaner concentrate stage in the process flowsheet, which lifted the concentrate grade by up to 78% compared with the rougher stage.

Next Steps

Kalamazoo has already commenced on an optimisation program to improve these initial test work results. This includes:

  1. Obtaining a detailed cleaner concentrate assay for determination of any deleterious elements and the identification of further opportunities optimise results

  2. Incorporation of Kalamazoo’s gold deportment studies into the next phase of the metallurgical test work

  3. Provide cleaner concentrate full assay to concentrate trading consultants for economic assessment

  4. Undertake gravity recovery tests on each concentrate

  5. Consider further silica reduction

  6. Regrind / depression re-clean opportunities if any

  7. Perform a locked cycle test to estimate overall recovery

  8. Project Scoping Study to commence in Q2, 2022

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Report Ashburton Mt Olympus Deposit Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data (Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

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.
Samples referred to in this report are reverse circulation drill cuttings.
Magnetic susceptibility measurements are taken on reverse circulation
offcut sample bags using a KT-10 magnetic susceptibility meter.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
The RC samples were taken with a reverse circulation rig-mounted static
cone splitter with the aperture set to yield a primary sample of
approximately 3kg for every metre.
The splitter apparatus was cleaned by washing with water at the end of
each hole as a minimum.
Wet and dry sample condition was recorded for each sample based on
visual inspection.
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 30g
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.
Reverse circulation drilling to industry standards was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30g charge for
fire assay.
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.).
Reverse circulation drilling was carried out using a face sampling
hammer and a 5-inch diameter bit.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
Approximate recoveries were recorded on formatted paper sheets as
percentage ranges based on a visual estimate of the offcut sample bag
and entered in excel spreadsheets for transfer and storage in the SQL
database.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
The reverse circulation drill rig used auxiliary compressors and high-
pressure booster units to keep samples dry in most circumstances.
Where water was encountered the hole was flushed with compressed air
at the end of each sample.
Where excessive water resulted in very wet samples with minimal
recovery the drill hole was ended.
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.
Increased water was occasionally encountered around ore zones with
very low to nil recoveries occurring rarely in very wet samples.
The relationship between sample recovery and grade has not been
investigated at the time of this report writing.
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.
Logging of reverse circulation cuttings was carried out on a metre-by-
metre basis and at time of drilling.
The logging was completed by a qualified Geologist 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.
Geological logging recorded qualitative descriptions of lithology and
mineralogy and quantitative descriptions of veining, sulphides and
lithology with visual estimates of percentages for sulphide and quartz.
All reverse circulation cuttings were washed and stored in 1m
compartmentalised chip trays and photographed. The chip trays are
archived on site at the Ashburton Project.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections
logged.
100% of reverse circulation drilling is logged.
Sub-sampling
techniques and sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all
core taken.
No core samples are used for this report
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc.
and whether sampled wet or dry.
Reverse circulation rig-mounted static cone splitter used for dry and wet
1m RC samples and a sampling tube used for dry and wet composite
sampling.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness
of the sample preparation technique.
RC chip samples are sorted at ALS Laboratory in Perth and weights
recorded in LIMS. Any reconciliation issues (extra samples, insufficient
sample, missing samples) are noted at this stage.
Following drying at 105°C to constant mass, all samples below
approximately 3kg are totally pulverised in LM5’s to nominally 85%
passing a 75µm screen. The few samples that are above 3kg are riffle
split to <3kg prior to pulverisation.
The sample preparation technique is industry standard for Fire assay.
The same or similar sample preparation is stated in previous Resource
Estimates or otherwise assumed for older pre- KZR samples.

Specification of the grid system used. MGA94 grid, zone 50
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Topographic control is from the Fugro 2006 Aerial photo data.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Drill holes were placed approximately 50m apart for the purposes of this
program but were designed to intersect a number of different zones
(wireframes) within the Mt Olympus resource
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.
The current drill holes spacing has not been used to estimate Mineral
Resource or Ore Estimates. The holes were purely designed to obtain
sample for metallurgical test work.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. No compositing was applied to these holes KARC0035 and KARC0036)
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.
The orientation of sampling was tangential to the interpreted
mineralisation zones or close to it. Drilling adjacent to pit walls was a
constraint but the holes were designed at steep dips to intersect as
many zones as possible
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 orientation achieves unbiased sampling of all mineralisation to the
extent that this is known.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. All samples are bagged in tied numbered calico bags and grouped in
larger tied numbered plastic poly weave bags at the rig. The plastic poly
weave bags were placed in large bulka bags at the exploration camp
and tied with a sample submission sheet affixed to the side of the bulka
bag. The bulka bags are transported via freight truck to Perth with
consignment note and receipted by an external and independent
laboratory.
All sample submissions were emailed to the lab and hard copies
accompanied the samples and all assay results were returned via email.
Sample pulp splits are returned to KZR via return freight and stored at a
storage facility in Cockburn.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques
and data.
No audits or reviews of the sampling techniques were undertaken at the
time of this report.
Previous Northern Star Resources sample data was extensively QAQC
reviewed both internally and externally.
Northern Star Resources found data audits and QAQC by earlier
operators to be minimal but at industry standards of the time.

0.75% net smelter royalty is held by Northern Star Resources and a 1.75%
royalty on gold production excluding the first 250,000oz is held by SIPA
Resources.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along
with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate
in the area.
M52/639 was granted in 1996, renewed in 2018, now expiring on
27/05/2039.
Exploration done
by other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Data relevant to this prospect was predominantly collected by SIPA who
operated the Mt Olympus Mine from start up to closure in 2004 and by
Northern Star Resources who completed extensive down-plunge drilling
between 2010 and 2012.
Kalamazoo acquired a substantial drill hole and surface geochemical
database from Northern Star Resources. Historical drill holes and surface
stream, soil and rock chip samples within this database are regularly used by
Kalamazoo and are part of its ongoing exploration activities.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. The Mt Olympus deposit is the main deposit within the Ashburton Gold
Project. Gold mineralisation is hosted in transitional and primary
mineralisation as a result of previous mining by Sipa Resources Ltd that
mined the oxide portion of the deposit. TheMount Olympus deposits is a
medium grade, structurally controlled, sediment hosted epigenetic gold
deposit. Mineralisation is hosted mainly by thick tensional quartz veins cross
cutting bedding parallel shears.
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.
As provided for KZR drilled holes in the text of the release.
Historical drill hole information is provided in the drill hole database acquired
from Northern Star Resources.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
The inclusion of other holes within the drill database is not warranted for this
release as it only relates to drilling done by KZR for the purposes of obtaining
samples for metallurgical test work.
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g.,
cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
Significant intercepts in Table 1 are calculated by weighted averages with a
minimum cut off of 0.5g/t Au.
No high cut was applied to the data and anomalously high maximum values
were reported.
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.
See Other Substantive Exploration Data below for intercept selection criteria
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalents are reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of
Exploration Results:
See below
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill
hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
Vertical drill holes intersect the mineralisation at different angles depending
on the orientation of the zone intersected. However, an estimate of angle of
intersection is approximately 45 degrees
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported,
there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g., ‘down hole
length, true width not known’).
As provided
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.
As provided.
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 avoiding misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
Not applicable in this case. See below for selection criteria based on
gold/sulphur ratio.
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.
The aim of the testwork undertaken was to determine whether the Mt
Olympus resource would be amenable to the production of a high-grade gold
sulphide concentrate via an industry standard crush-grind-float processing
circuit. Test work was also used to confirm results from previous work by
Northern Star in 2011-12.
This initial testwork utilised two RC holes drilled through several zones from
the floor of the Mt Olympus open pit. The holes were drilled specifically for
metallurgical testwork purposes and were designed to provide a broad
coverage through the deposit, targeting four (4) separate interpreted zones
with multiple intersections where possible.
This strategy would allow for the identification of mineralogical variability
within the deposit. When assimilated with the metallurgical testwork
performed by Northern Star in 2012, the additional data will provide greater
confidence of the metallurgical behaviour of different parts of the resource.
The two drill holes utilized were KARC035 and KZRC036. Four wireframes
were targeted – sb4, sb6, sb8 and sb11. Wireframes and down hole
intersection information is presented in the table below.
The composites where also chosen according to the gold/sulphide sulphur
ratio to determine the metallurgical behaviour of the different mineralisation
styles. In many refractory deposits, the gold/sulphide sulphur ratio will often
determine the ability of an ore to be upgraded via flotation and therefore the
value of each tonne of ore extracted.
The general approach to the test work was to:
Maximise recovery of sulphide to the Rougher Concentrate
Undertake multi-stage cleaning to maximise gold grade
All work undertaken in an open circuit
General flow sheet employed with a standard reagent scheme
Results from the test work can be divided firstly into results from the Rougher
Concentrate and secondly, the multi-stage cleaner and are shown in the table
below
