2021 Company Summary

  • Limited or controls a tenement in three areas in

  • Lefroy Exploration (LEX Lefroy) major portfolio project Western Australia, with more than 637km[2] in the flagship Lefroy Gold Project (LGP) near Kalgoorlie alone.

==> picture [39 x 129] intentionally omitted <==

  • Lefroy is targeting high-value gold and copper-gold deposits at the LGP capable of being rapidly developed through systematic generative exploration.

  • The Lefroy exploration effort is underpinned by the $25 million Farm-in and JV with Gold Fields over the western part of the LGP adjoining the Gold Fields St Ives mining operation.

  • In early 2021 drilling by Lefroy at Burns intersected an outstanding gold copper interval of 38m at 7.63g/t Au and 0.56% Cu from 134m down-hole, including: 27m at 10.1g/t Au and 0.74% Cu from 141m in the Eastern Porphyry . The Burns system is open, with further drilling underway to expand the footprint of the intrusion related system.

  • At Eastern Lefroy, early stage aircore drilling at Coogee South prospect outlined the Catalina and Bronte gold anomalies that are open, and with further drilling planned to extend both.

  • At Western Lefroy, JV partner Gold Fields elected to progress to Stage 2 of the Farm In and have commenced massive land based Full Field Air Core drill program.

  • LEX has a small tightly capital structure means that is leveraged to exploration success.

Burns Tenement & Magnetics

==> picture [507 x 421] intentionally omitted <==

  • Detailed 25m line spaced aeromagnetic survey completed in August 2021*

  • The Burns Au-Cu-Ag prospect has a distinctive, positive, aerial magnetic signature due to strong magnetite alteration of the porphyry and basalt rocks that host the mineralisation

  • Results from the survey refined and improved knowledge of the magnetic signature of the rock sequence beneath Lake Randall and its adjacent shoreline

  • Six new magnetic anomalies with signatures similar to Burns were detected by the survey. The anomalies define a corridor of dioritic intrusions, each of which is considered prospective for mineralisation.

Burns- A unique mineral system

Rainbow over Kennys Dream

  • Varying mineralisation styles and porphyry host point to a large, multistage, intrusion related mineral system at Burns defined over an area of 200m eastwest and 300m north-south and growing

==> picture [39 x 129] intentionally omitted <==

  • Detailed aeromagnetic survey to recently completed has refined and generated new targets and out onto Lake Randall

  • Interrogation of baseline geochemical data has provided key pathfinder element associations to assist drill data from wider step out drilling.

  • Collaborative geological research effort underway with University of WA and GSWA

  • Baseline data to demonstrate the scale of the Burns system and enhance the prospectivity of the regional land package

  • Geophysical data support interpretation that Burns

  • is part of a much larger mineral system (5km corridor?)

Burns Next Steps

Expand the footprint of the Burns system to deliver multiple new Au-Cu RC drill targets

==> picture [282 x 212] intentionally omitted <==

  • Await ~3000 samples from 16 RC holes that evaluated onshore targets over a 2km strike

  • Interrogate gold and whole rock geochemical data from baseline section-vectors

  • Continue to Interpret results from detailed aeromagnetic and gravity surveys to refine and rank targets

  • The Full Field Aircore (FFAC) program is designed to cover most of the land area of the tenement package with approximately 1318 vertical holes on regular 400m by 400m spaced grid pattern*

  • Estimated 46,000m program

  • The program will yield foundation geological and geochemical information that:

a)may represent the broad footprint of a large gold system and, b)will be interrogated in conjunction with geophysical data to deliver specific targets for follow up AC, RC and diamond drilling

CY 2022-Exploration Work Plan

Exploration by Lefroy in CY2022 is committed to discovery at the Burns prospect through additional RC and diamond drilling, supported by aircore drilling of early stage gold prospects to deliver new RC targets into the pipeline, complemented by the FFAC drilling by Gold Fields at the Western Lefroy JV

Footprints at Lovejoy

==> picture [39 x 129] intentionally omitted <==

Priority exploration now underway

AC drilling evaluating multiple targets in Lake Randall to expand the limits of the Burns system & accelerate RC and Diamond exploration onshore at Burns

Drill Ready exploration

  • Advance the Hang Glider Hill exploration Hub to deliver a new RC targets through evaluation of the 5 strong surface auger anomalies

  • AC, RC and diamond drilling at Coogee South to expand and enhance the Bronte and Catalina anomalies

Enhancing the discovery pipeline .... fill the prospect pipeline by generative early-stage drilling at targets that include, Lake Randall, Erinmore, Havelock and nickel targets at Carnilya South and Lake Johnston
