Lefroy Gold Project-2017 Overview

  • a

  • Developed high quality database to capture previous exploration drilling (+3400 holes)

  • Acquired and interrogated geophysical data, advancing geological interpretation to focus drill targeting in Lake Lefroy

  • High impact early stage drilling completed along the Woolibar and Lucky Strike Trends and at Red Dale

  • Forensic geology has revealed the Capstan gold anomaly

==> picture [396 x 327] intentionally omitted <==

  • Initiated exploration at Paddy’s Secret---nugget field

Lefroy Gold Project-Zanex

Initial focused drilling along emerging Woolibar Trend has yielded promising results

  • Zanex was first of six targets evaluated by drilling along the Woolibar Trend

  • Bedrock masked by shallow lake sediments and variable younger

  • cover

  • wide air core

  • Early stage spaced drilling has defined a gold trend over 1000m of strike in bedrock

  • Integration of drill geology with detailed ground magnetic survey (SKIMPI) has placed anomaly in context

==> picture [379 x 345] intentionally omitted <==

  • Prepared for diamond drilling

Lefroy Gold Project-Red Dale

Seeking the primary gold source from an impressive large gold in regolith footprint

  • Located immediately north of the Randalls Processing Plant

  • Characterised by a broad geochemical gold at the base of a over a

  • footprint palaeochannel 1600m strike length

  • Single phases of aircore and RC drilling to narrow

  • completed evaluating palaeochannel search for primary source area

  • Higher tenor gold mineralisation intersected at the southern end of the palaeochannel

Lefroy Gold Project-Lucky Strike

Our first target drill tested yields significant results along a new mineralised trend

  • Located within 5km of the Randalls Processing Plant

  • Three phases of aircore drilling defined a gold trend over a 3000m strike length adjacent to the Mt Monger Fault

  • Early stage diamond drilling intersects high grade gold in LSRD006

  • High grade gold mineralisation reported from oxidised iron rich sedimentary rocks (BIF)

==> picture [390 x 188] intentionally omitted <==

Lefroy Gold Project-Lucky Strike

High grade gold mineralisation in a unique geological setting along an emerging structural corridor

  • Detailed ground magnetic survey defined a discrete linear over magnetic anomaly

  • a 500m strike length

  • The anomaly is due to magnetite bearing sedimentary rocks----Banded Iron Formation (BIF)

  • High grade intersections in LSRD006 are within a broader interval of lower tenor mineralisation (~25m) hosted within BIF

  • Close spaced RC drilling recently completed

  • BIF hosted model new gold opens up

  • regional search space

Lefroy Gold Project-Capstan

Enhancing the portfolio---A large undrilled surface gold anomaly next to Lucky Strike

  • Newly identified, broad, untested surface gold anomaly located adjacent and parallel to the Lucky Strike Trend

  • Anomalous trend defined from previous explorers auger and soil sampling

==> picture [305 x 230] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [295 x 243] intentionally omitted <==

  • Anomaly sited over interpreted mafic host rocks and along strike from historical workings

  • Supports Company’s view of the gold potential of the area

Lefroy Gold Project-Paddy’s Secret

Initiated work at a large surface gold anomaly adds to the target portfolio

  • Paddy’s Secret is the site of the discovery of a virgin gold nugget patch in 2014

  • Located 4km to the north west of the historical Hogans Find gold workings and alluvial field

  • Several large (+10oz) gold nuggets found by metal detecting

  • Character of the nuggets and their position in the surface alluvium suggests a proximal primary source

  • Exploration initiated involving detailed geophysics to assist in revealing subsurface geology

Lefroy Gold Project-Additional targets

Coogee South*

==> picture [254 x 250] intentionally omitted <==

  • Immediately south of the Coogee open pit where 140Kt mined @5.2g/t for 22,000oz*

  • Most drilling is mid 1990s vintage and is shallow RAB/Air core

  • There has been no follow up exploration along strike of Coogee, the last phase being 2006

  • Analogous setting to the Coogee Open Pit with added potential setting for multiple stacked lodes

Neon*

==> picture [239 x 250] intentionally omitted <==

  • Immediately south of Lucky Strike trend and Lucky Bay open pit

  • Lies on the western margin of felsic intrusion that hosts the Burns Au-Cu prospect

  • Gold mineralisation already discovered in bedrock previous explorers

  • There has been limited follow up drilling since 2005.

  • Source reference LEX Prospectus dated 8 September 2016

2018 –Exploration Outlook

Initial early stage exploration in 2017 has set the foundation to focus drill evaluation of new targets and enhance the portfolio pipeline at the Lefroy Gold project Lefroy Gold Project

Advance exploration ... continue at the recent greenfields opportunities at Lucky Strike, Red Dale and along the Woolibar Trend ( Zanex)

More to come ...commence early stage drilling at Paddy's Secret, Coogee South, Neon, Capstan and additional targets along the Woolibar Trend

Enhancing the portfolio ....generate value from the geophysical and drilling data to fill the target pipeline by evaluation of Lake Randall, Lucky Strike BIF model, Woolibar Trend, Cutters Luck, Anomaly F, Hogans and Dragoon areas

==> picture [601 x 132] intentionally omitted <==

Lefroy Gold Project-Drilling Coverage

Almost all the previous drilling is only scratching the surface regolith horizon with 144 holes deeper than 100m

==> picture [714 x 280] intentionally omitted <==

  • Not all gold deposits in the Eastern Goldfields are going to have a gold footprint in the shallow regolith horizon and the next generation of large discoveries will have been discovered from subtle gold signatures or none at all.

  • LEX is employing deeper early stage diamond drilling to improve geological understanding
