Krakatoa Resources Limited (ASX: KTA) (“Krakatoa” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce further high gold grades, from rock-chip samples collected at the 100% owned Rand Gold Project (“Project”). The Rand Project is centred approximately 60km NNW of Albury in NSW’s Riverina region and covers an area of 580km[2] within an under-explored region of the well-endowed Lachlan Fold Belt.

Krakatoa’s Chief Executive Officer, Mark Major stated:

“The results from this second batch of rock-chip samples have demonstrated the wide-spread nature of high-grade gold across the unexplored Bulgandry Goldfields. They further demonstrate the potential of the system and have further confirmed the geochemical signature of an Intrusive Related Gold System (IRGS).

In recent months, the Company has executed a multi-pronged aggressive exploration strategy, and we keenly await the pending results of these programs so we can hastily advance to stage 2 of our exploration strategy”.

Prospectivity

The Company received assay results from a second batch of rock-chip samples collected during reconnaissance fieldwork, undertaken in mid-February 2021. The fieldwork involved prospecting the previously unexplored historical workings hosted on the “Gold Hill” property. Gold Hill hosts the historical Goodwood, Lone Hand and Coonerty and Murphy’s Reefs and associated mines. A total of 41 samples were collected from outcrops, subcrops, mullock dump and sorting piles, and as float (Figures 1 and 2). Results are summarised in Table 1.

The samples comprised oxidised quartz veins and/or altered host (meta-sedimentary) rocks, with vein textures ranging from massive, saccharoidal, crustiform, comb, bucky to laminated and variably vuggy (Figure 1). Rock samples were chipped from outcrops, subcrops and mine faces, collected from historical mine mullock dumps and sorting piles or were grab samples of ‘float’. The majority of float samples are interpreted to be locally sourced.

Assays returned confirm potential for economic grades of gold (maximum of 21.7 g/t, with 3 samples returning over 10g/t and a further 5 returning over 1 g/t) and minor silver (up to 80.5 g/t). Other results of note include elevated Pb (up to 2.56%) and extremely anomalous IRGS pathfinder elements, including As (max. greater than 1%), Bi (max. 1,300ppm), Te (max. 3.1ppm), W (max. 370ppm), Mo (max. 15ppm), Sb (max. 222ppm), In (max. 1.83ppm) and Sn (max. 63ppm) with a low sulphide content (see Table 1 and Figure 2). It is believed that the higher grade gold in this area is associated with intensely silicahematite altered metasediments with grey translucent quartz veins (Figure 1).

Current exploration programs

An 800 sample, regional-scale auger geochemical soil survey over the Bulgandry Goldfields (Figure 3) was completed in late February. The Bulgandry Goldfields are characterised by numerous historical workings where gold was mined from shallow outcropping veins that produced gold at very high grades, of up to 265g/t. These mines are predominantly located on topographical highs, situated along a series of ENE-trending magnetic lineaments collectively totalling 8kms in strike length (see ASX announcement date February 17, 2021).

After a surface IP geophysical survey was completed in January, a 43 hole 2,760m air-core (AC) drilling program over the magnetic “bullseye” targets was recently completed and all assay results are pending. Currently a maiden reverse circulation (RC) drilling program of up to 10 holes for ~1,500m is being carried out. This program is targeting historical mines which include the Goodwood and Lone Hand Reefs (that have never been drill tested), in addition to Show Day and Welcome Find Reefs. Additionally, assays for a further 32 rock-chip samples collected during further mapping in March are pending.

ABOUT KRAKATOA:

==> picture [103 x 90] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [32 x 102] intentionally omitted <==

Krakatoa is an ASX-listed public Company, focused on copper-gold exploration in the world class Lachlan Fold Belt of NSW, and multielement metals including the increasingly valued rare earths in the highly prospective Narryer Terrane, Yilgarn Craton of WA.

==> picture [287 x 216] intentionally omitted <==

Belgravia Cu-Au Porphyry Project (Krakatoa 100%); Lachlan Fold Belt, NSW

The Belgravia Project covers an area of 80km[2] and is located in the central part of the Molong Volcanic Belt (MVB), East Lachlan province, between Newcrest Mining’s Cadia Operations and Alkane Resources Boda Discovery. The Project target areas are considered highly prospective for porphyry Cu-Au and associated skarn Cu-Au, with Bell Valley and Sugarloaf representing the two most advanced target areas. Bell Valley contains a considerable portion of the Copper Hill Intrusive Complex, the interpreted porphyry complex which hosts the Copper Hill deposit (890koz Au & 310kt Cu) and has highly prospective magnetic low features spanning 6km. Sugarloaf contains a 900m Deep Ground Penetrating Radar anomaly located within a distinctive magnetic low feature considered characteristic of a porphyry-style deposit and co-incident with anomalous rock chips including 5.19g/t Au and 1.73% Cu.

Turon Gold Project (Krakatoa 100%); Lachlan Fold Belt, NSW

The Turon Project covers 120km[2] and is located within the Lachlan Fold Belt’s Hill End Trough, a north-trending elongated pull-apart basin containing sedimentary and volcanic rocks of Silurian and Devonian age. The Project contains two separate north-trending reef systems, the Quartz Ridge and Box Ridge, comprising shafts, adits and drifts that strike over 1.6km and 2.4km respectively. Both reef systems have demonstrated high grade gold anomalism (up to 1,535g/t Au in rock chips) and shallow gold targets (up to 10m @ 1.64g/t Au from surface to end of hole).

Rand Gold Project (100%); Lachlan Fold Belt, NSW

The Rand Project covers an area of 580km[2] , centred approximately 60km NNW of Albury in southern NSW. The Project has a SW-trending shear zone that transects the entire tenement package forming a distinct structural corridor some 40 km in length. The historical Bulgandry Goldfield, which is captured by the Project, demonstrates the project area is prospective for shear-hosted and intrusion-related gold. Historical production records show substantial gold grades, including up to 265g/t Au from the exposed quartz veins in the Show Day Reef.

Mt Clere REEs, HMS & Ni-Cu-Co, PGEs Project (100%); Gascoyne, WA

The Mt Clere REE Project located at the north western margins of the Yilgarn Graton. The company holds 1,780km[2] of highly prospective exploration licences prospective for rare earth elements, heavy mineral sands hosted zircon-ilmenite-rutile-leucoxene; and gold and intrusion hosted Ni-Cu-Co-PGEs. Historical exploration has identified the potential presence of three REE deposits types, namely, Ion adsorption clays in extensive laterite areas; monazite sands in vast alluvial terraces; and carbonatite dyke swarms.

The information in this section that relates to exploration results was first released by the Company on 19 June 2019, 25 November 2019, 3 December 2019, 14 April 2020, 20 May 2020, 26 June 2020 and 6 July 2020. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant market announcements.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 report template

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 (eg 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 (eg’
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 (eg submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Rock-chips and grab/float samples
taken with a geological hammer and
collected into labelled calico bags.

The samples were assayed by ALS for
gold and multi-element geochemistry.
Gold (30g charge) by FA-AA (Au-
AA21), ME by four acid digestion and
ICP_MS finish (ME-MS61 for 48
elements).

Each sample was assayed for: Ag, Al,
As, Au, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr,
Cs, Cu, Fe, Ga, Ge, Hf, In, K, La, Li,
Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, Re,
S, Sb, Sc, Se, Sn, Sr, Ta, Te, Th, Ti,
Tl, U, V, W, Y, Zn, and Zr.

Samples with over-range gold were re-
analysed by GRA-21, samples with
over-range Pb were re-analysed by
OG-62.

Samples were crushed to a nominal
3mm then pulverised to 95% passing
75 micron.

Sample weights were recorded.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic,
etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or
standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is
_oriented and ifso, by what method, etc). _

No Drilling
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

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
_grainsize of the material being sampled. _
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 (eg
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have
_been established. _

Internal laboratory checks confirm
assay precision and accuracy with
sufficient confidence for the current
results.

Samples were submitted to ALS
Laboratories in Orange, where they
were prepared. They were sent to
Perth where they were processed and
analysed via fire assay and digested
by four acid digest with ICP-MS
analysis.
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. _

The samples were collected in the field
by the exploration manager.

No adjustments were made to any
assays of data.
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.

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. _

Data spacings were random and were
determined by the areas of rock
outcrop located during prospecting
work.
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.

Primary and secondary mineralisation,
though identified, is currently being
drilled (RC drilling). Most mineralised
and mined structures are observed in
the workings to dip moderately to
steeply to the south or southeast.
Some historical mine records describe
mine geometries (such as mine strike
and
underlay
shaft
dips
etc.).
Furthermore,
interpretation
of
magnetic datasets give a sound
indication of structural locations and
their strike/dip orientations.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.

Samples were collected in heavy- duty
polywoven
bags
which
were
immediately sealed.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.

The competent person independently
reviewed the laboratories internal
sample

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status

Type, reference name/number, location
and ownership including agreements or
material issues with third parties such
as joint ventures, partnerships,
overriding royalties, native title interests,
historical sites, wilderness or national
park and environmental settings.

The security of the tenure held at the
time of reporting along with any known
impediments to obtaining a licence to

The Rand Project (EL9000) is wholly-owned
by Krakatoa Australia Pty Ltd, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Krakatoa Resources Ltd

The Company holds 100% interest and all
rights in the Rand Project
Exploration done
by other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

Various parties have held different parts of
the Rand Project in different periods and
explored for different commodities

No party has ever completed systematic
exploration across the Rand area, nor
adequately considered the regolith during
their work.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

The Project lies in the Wagga-Omeo
Metamorphic Zone of the Central Lachlan
Fold Belt, which includes the Wagga Tin-
Tungsten Belt.

Major rock units through the project area are:
o
Ordovician metasedimentary rocks of
the Abercrombie group
o
Silurian S-type granites of the Alma Park
and Goombargana suites
o
Early Devonian volcanic rocks (e.g.
Wallandoon Ignimbrite)
o
Devonian I-type granites (e.g. Jinderra)

The area is prospective for a range of
deposit styles, including intrusion-related
gold (IRG), shear-hosted (orogenic) gold,
magmatic tin–tungsten deposits, rare earth
elements, and copper–gold porphyries with
associated epithermal systems.

IRG deposits are located either within or
near granitic intrusions, often associated with
tin-tungsten belts
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

No drillholes are reported in the
announcement.

Competent Person should clearly
_explain why this is the case. _
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 low grade results, the
procedure used for such 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. _

No weightings or other manipulations were
made to the data.

No metal equivalents were used or
calculated.
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’). _

Primary mineralisation is yet to be drill
tested.
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. _

The pertinent maps for this stage of Project
are included in the release.

Coordinates in MGA94 Z55.
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. _

The Competent person has reviewed this
information and believes it is consistent with
his observations and knowledge of the
Project.
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. _

Undertaking high resolution aeromagnetic
survey drove the exploration strategy at
Bulgandry.

Field mapping, prospecting and ground
geochemistry continue.
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. _

Regolith and geological mapping with
surface geochemistry where appropriate.

Reconnaissance auger soil geochemistry
where suitable.

Aircore and RC drilling.

The market will be updated as information
comes to hand.
