Rocky Prospect
The Company completed a 240-sample soil program in August at the Rocky prospect, infilling and extending the geochemical grid with results reported in the December Quarter. Highly anomalous gold results were returned with the best results of 1,160ppb Au, 629ppb Au & 483ppb Au, which along with other samples has generated a third gold anomaly (Anomaly 3), Figure 1. The anomaly is >200 x background values for gold and is located 300m north of the two existing anomalies, covering an area 300m x 100m.
In addition to the new soil gold anomaly the footprint for other elements such as copper, molybdenum, silver, and bismuth were also extended north-east and south-west a further 1km in each direction.
From the additional program, a 1.5km[2] gold-silver-copper-bismuth-selenium-tellurium-thaliumindium core anomaly has been determined. This core is surrounded by elevated lead-antimonyarsenic levels proximally, with distal copper and molybdenum values are currently controlled by the extent of the soil sampling grid.
A total of 15 rock chip samples were taken during the soil program at outcrops of interest. Visible copper mineralisation was observed at three sample locations in the form of malachite and azurite on the eastern side of the prospect. Three samples returned highly anomalous results of 224g/t Ag, 0.28% Cu & 0.33% Sb (RVRK035), 173g/t Ag, 0.55% Cu, 0.31% Sb & 0.26% Pb (RVRK033), 56.3g/t Ag, 0.43% Cu, 0.27% Sb & 0.19% Pb (RVRK031), Table 1. These are now the highest silver values on the project and extend the mineralisation footprint a further 1km east, with the system now stretching a total of 4km along strike.

This geochemical fingerprint developing at Rocky is not only indicative of large-scale intrusionrelated gold deposits around the world but is similar to that of district systems within close proximity to the project, such as Mt Leyshon (3.9M oz Au and 2.4M oz Ag produced) and Mt Wright (1.5M oz Au produced).

Figure 1. Location of rock chip & soil results at Rocky prospect. Soil results are contoured for various levels on gold mineralisation, copper, and silver, with the location of historical and recent rock chip samples, old workings, overlaying the magnetics from the recently flown VTEM survey.
Field mapping and ground truthing of rock chip samples was completed over the prospect in October. Mapping of lithologies and structures associated with the mineralisation will aid in determining the ideal direction to drill test the anomaly, Figure 2.
Geological observations identified mineralisation to be hosted in magnetic biotite-granodiorite. Magnetism was mostly moderate to strong and weaker in magnetic low areas identified through the recently acquired VTEM data (ASX Announcement 20th September 2022).
Despite very sparse outcrop, zones of strong silica-sericite±clay with disseminated arsenopyrite and hematite after sulphide were seen to be associated with areas of strongest gold anomalism. These zones appear to be magnetite-destructive trending north-northeast to north-northwest.
The high-grade silver rock chips (RVRK031, 33 and 35) east of the main gold anomalies at Rocky were found to be related to quartz veins with galena, copper oxides such as malachite and azurite with associated alteration of sericite-clay-iron oxides, Figure 2.
An additional 13 rock chip samples were collected within the alteration zones, of the host rock and quartz veins with results expected in Quarter 1 2023.
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling commenced at Rocky prospect in early December 2022. The drill program was the first holes to test this anomaly with the exploration team completing 5 RC holes for 996m prior to the Christmas break. The drilling program has been planned on 400m spaced lines, with the initial holes to be completed to a depth of 150-200m. The program targeted the high-tenor gold and silver anomalies, with results expected in Quarter 1 2023, Figure 3.

West Branch
The prospect area was determined from the regional magnetics which indicated a potential intrusive, with a zone of low magnetism (demagnetised zone) in the centre, and a wider positive magnetic zone surrounding the centre (magnetised zone). The geochemical programs focussed on this area, within the Ravenswood Corridor.
Killi collected 15 rock chip samples from the West Branch prospect during recent field geochemical soil programs at the northern end of the Project. The samples were taken from two outcropping locations, 1.8km apart, and exhibited copper mineralisation to the eye in the form of malachite (copper carbonate hydroxide).
Surface rock chip results reported at the West Branch prospect, include:
-
6.18% Cu, 8.93g/t Au & 10.1g/t Ag (KRRC0002)
-
5.2% Cu, 8.47g/t Au & 27.3g/t Ag (RVRK009)
-
0.2% Cu, 17g/t Au & 2.77g/t Ag (RVRK021); and
-
15.75% Pb, 32.6g/t Ag & 0.56g/t Au (KRRC0001)
These results are the highest copper values and some of the higher gold and silver values observed at the project and provide a second exploration target generated on the project within 2022, Figure 3.
At surface the West Branch target area is in part masked by the ‘West Branch River’, however two samples were taken on either side of the river and returned values greater than 5% copper as well as associated significant gold and silver results, with both samples logged as altered mafics believed to be part of the Horse Pocket Volcanics.
General observations from the rock chip program indicated the magnetised zone returned results high in copper, gold and silver, and the demagnetised zone returned high silver and lead with weak gold and copper anomalism.

One sample was taken from the area interpreted as the contact between the intrusive unit with the surrounding volcanics, KRRC0001. The sample was logged in the field as a brecciated sediment, with abundant quartz and iron-rich veinlets with minor sulphides (pyrite). The assays returned for this sample were anomalous for silver (32.6g/t), lead (15.7%), gold (0.57g/t) and copper (2,260ppm). Of interest, this sample also had elevated values for arsenic (1%), cadmium (45.7ppm), antimony (163.5), tin (30.1ppm), strontium (180.5ppm) and zinc (635ppm).
These anomalous assay results are consistent with pathfinder elements of known mineral systems in the area, such as Mt Leyshon, Mt Success, Mt Wright, Golden Valley and Welcome deposits, all within 60kms of the project.

Regional Gold Mineralisation
The Company reported the first round of aircore drilling results and established host lithologies from the aircore and diamond drill programs completed at the West Tanami Project.
Gold deposits within the Tanami district are generally hosted within the fold-hinges of the Dead Bullock Formation, or in close proximity to the sequence margins and/or contacts, with the Formation host to the +8Moz Callie gold deposit, 120 kms along strike to the south-east.
Logging of the upper portion of the diamond drill hole identified the highly prospective Dead Bullock Formation. Additional to the favourable geology in the drill core, the regional aircore

program has returned low-level gold anomalism in multiple locations, similar in geochemical fingerprint to Callie deposit which was found on a 50 ppb Au anomaly.
Killi completed four aircore drill lines at the northern end of the project, across the interpreted axial hinge within sediments, at the Fox, Deva, and Trickster prospects, covering 9km of combined stratigraphy, Figure 4.
Multiple intercepts of anomalous gold, arsenic and silver were intersected at the Fox prospect, with all elements aligning with the geochemical fingerprint for a sediment hosted gold system. The results returned a 2.8km wide corridor anomalous for gold, silver and arsenic , aligning with the Company’s model for a sediment-hosted gold system, and similar to those already found in the Tanami, Figure 5.
Two regional aircore lines were completed at Trickster and Deva consisted of 54 holes for 2,201 metres. These two drill lines represent the first drilling over the newly identified prospective hydrothermal structure that could represent the main mineralising feature of the district.
These first pass aircore lines were completed at Trickster and Deva across the interpreted feature that extends from the Tanami (NT), previously referred to as the ‘D5 Fault’, have returned a gold result in bedrock, below alluvial cover of 4m @ 100ppb Au from 8m depth, Figure 6.

Diamond Drilling
The partially funded EIS diamond drill hole was completed to a total depth of 890.4m during the field season. Killi received a $150,000 exploration grant from the Western Australian Government through the Exploration Incentive Scheme for a stratigraphic drillhole. The purpose of the hole was to test the potential for a significant gold mineral system in the region, at the Fox prospect (previously ‘Raven’), only 150kms north-west along strike from the Callie 13Moz gold mine in the Northern Territory.
Logging and geochemical evaluation of the upper sedimentary sequence by geological logging and portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) has confirmed the section of the stratigraphy in which the project resides.
The top of the diamond hole begins within the Killi Killi Formation, which is host to the Coyote and Kookaburra gold mines within the region. The hole then passes through a transitional zone and into the Dead Bullock Formation, Figure 7. The sequence is strongly folded and faulted relating to both extensional and compressional events.
In the upper part of the hole there were multiple zones of interest such as cross-cutting quartz veins within a sandstone, adjacent to a sedimentary-mafic contact. A particularly interesting quartzpyrite vein was intersected at ~218m with a strong silica and hematite alteration halo, and at 173m there was a folded and sheared shale unit with quartz veining and silica/feldspar alteration, which is characteristic of gold mineralisation styles in the region.
The stratigraphy of the Tanami region has been difficult to delineate historically, due to the poor exposure at surface, and lack of available data, such as diamond core. Exploration has been intermittent from the early 1900’s until the mid-1980’s owing to the remoteness and cover and has focused on sediment hosted mineralisation, specifically for uranium, rare earth elements and gold.

C) Sediments of the DBF, with increased pyrite and quartz veining.
Of significance at ~840m depth (560m vertical depth), a gabbro (mafic) unit with distinctly high sulphide content was intersected. Sulphides were observed from ~834m – 840.8m ranging from trace to approximately 30% of the rock mass increasing with depth. From 840.8m – 841.5m semimassive and massive sulphides were intersected, where classification of massive sulphides is based

on sulphide content >80% of the rock mass, Figure 8. The dominant sulphides observed were pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite, potentially representative of a magmatic base metal system. The pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite appear to be associated with the gabbro unit, with pyrite present in the sediments as well as the gabbro. At this point the pyrite is believed to be part of a hydrothermal overprint as it is seen throughout the hole and associated with varying degrees of quartz veining.

Previous work and mapping completed by the Geological Survey of Western Australia has only identified sediments with no interpretation of mafic units at the prospect.
Dolerites have been loosely documented in the region to intrude the sedimentary sequence, however there is very limited drilling in which they have been intersected and limited analysis performed.
Further review of historical reports indicates there has been no prior exploration for magmatic sulphide mineralisation in the Tanami Province, which presents a unique opportunity for Killi to explore.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON VISUAL ESTIMATES OF MINERALISATION
References in this report to visual results are from diamond drilling. Visible mineralisation in NQ core (TMDD0001) consisted of trace, disseminated, semi-massive and massive sulphides of pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pyrite. Visual estimates of percentages are based on preliminary visual observations of the drill core surface as presented in the core trays and may not be representative of the entire sample interval. Laboratory assays are required for representative estimates of copper and other metal contents abundance. Half the core samples have been sent for assays. This work will take some time and assay results are expected in March quarter 2023.

ABOUT KILLI RESOURCES
West Tanami Project
The Company owns 100% of the West Tanami Gold Project in the north-east of Western Australian. The land holding totals 1,634km[2] of granted tenure over 100km strike of the major gold corridor, Tanami Fault System, with existing gold endowment of the Tanami Gold Province greater than 19M oz Au. Within the district there are multiple gold deposits which include Callie Gold Mine (Newmont, ~13Moz Au), the Tanami Goldfields (3M oz Au), Twin Bonanza (1.5M oz Au) and the Coyote and Kookaburra mines (Black Cat Syndicate, ~1M oz Au), Figure 8.
Aside from gold, recent work completed by explorers in the area have highlighted the potential for hydrothermal Rare Earth systems, within the district. 85% of the tenement package is covered by shallow transported cover (12-15m depth) which provides an opportunity for the discovery of a new mineralisation system.
Ravenswood North
The Company owns 100% of the Ravenswood North Project located near Charter Towers in Queensland. The project consists of five granted tenements totalling ~580km[2] . The majority of the land holding covers the prospective Ravenswood-Charter Towers gold corridor, host to Ravenswood Gold Mine, Charter Towers, Golden Valley, Kitty O’Shea, Mt Success and Piccadilly, Figure 9.
The Company believes this project has the potential for a large-scale Intrusive-Related Gold System.
Mt Rawdon West
The Mt Rawdon West Project consists of one tenement currently in application, which covers 309km[2] of prospective gold and copper ground between Evolutions Mt Rawdon Gold Mine and SolGold’s Mt Perry Project, located inland 60km from Bundaberg (QLD), Figure 10. The Nicko’s Reward and Mt Rawdon structures intersect in the centre of the tenement and coincide with and existing 1.5km[2] geochemical soil anomaly of Cu-Au-Mo.
Balfour
The Balfour Project is located in the Pilbara of Western Australia and covers 350km[2] of the Proterozoic Rift boundary, 25km strike of the sub-basin, and surrounds the Nicholas Downs Manganese Deposit owned by Hancock Prospecting, Figure 11. Killi owns 100% of the project, with the tenement currently in application.

(1,397) - (1,397) 1,859 - |
|
| 1,859 | |||
| Answer: Due to the location of the Company’s projects in northern WA and QLD its exploration activities and associated cash payments are seasonable, with higher net operating cash outflows in the dry season and lower operating cash outflows expected over the wet season when on-ground exploration activity is limited. Net cash outflows from operating activities in the current quarter also include a once off joint venture payments (Item 1.8). |
|||
| 8.8.2 Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it believe that they will be successful? |
|||
| Answer: No the Company has not taken any steps. The Company believes it will be able to raise further equity when needed, if and as required, following the successful completion of its initial public offering of $6 million completed in March 2022 quarter. |
