ASX Announcement

The Board of Lefroy Exploration Limited (ASX: LEX) (“Lefroy” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the results from a reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Lucky Strike Trend at its flagship Lefroy Gold Project (Lefroy Project or LGP) located approximately 50km to the south east of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields Province of Western Australia (Figure 1).

The LGP is a commanding semi-contiguous granted land package that covers 547km[2 ] located immediately east of the world class St Ives Gold camp, operated by Gold Fields and south of the high grade Mt Monger gold centre operated by Silver Lake Resources Limited (ASX:SLR). Four operating gold processing operations are strategically located within 50km of the project.

Figure 1 Lefroy Gold Project and the location of Lucky Strike and two other key areas of active exploration focus by the company.

The Company completed a focused seven hole RC drilling program (“program”) at Lucky Strike to evaluate extensions to and the geometry of the recent discovery of high grade shallow gold mineralisation intersected in hole LSRD006 (Figures 2 & 3). The program comprised 550m of angled drilling on three 20m spaced drill sections immediately along strike of the interpreted surface projection of the mineralisation in LSRD006. The mineralisation intersected in LSRD006 is within a single highly oxidised banded iron formation (BIF) within a sequence of black shale (Figure 3)

The key aim of the program was to demonstrate strike and, down dip continuity and better define the geometry of the high grade mineralisation in LSRD006 through closer spaced drilling. The drilling direction (or azimuth) for the program was changed subsequent to the completion of a ground magnetic survey that reinforced support for a north westerly striking sequence of rocks. Advancing the understanding of the geological and structural model in the area of LSRD006 has provided the breakthrough to aid further exploration along the 3000m mineralised trend defined by reconnaissance air core drilling.

Figure 2 Location of the Lucky Strike Trend relative to the Red Dale Prospect and proximity to the Randalls Processing Facility (SLR) and infrastructure. The key Lucky Strike Trend gold intersections are also highlighted (refer to Figure 3 for detailed inset map and recent drilling)

The results from the 7 hole program have delivered strong broad gold intersections (Table 1) from the three sections drilled and now demonstrate strike continuity to the defined system (Figure 3). More importantly the reoriented drilling has intersected multiple BIF units that now form a package approximately 60m wide, i.e. a much broader host sequence to host gold mineralisation.

The host unit is an altered iron rich sediment, known as a BIF that contains variable amounts of quartz veining. The BIF is within a sequence of fine grained sediments, commonly siltstone, shale and black shale. The BIF is highly magnetic and the results of a recent detailed ground magnetic survey confirm the trend of the unit over a 500m strike length.

Better results from the RC drill program include:-

15m at 0.54g/t Au from 24m in hole LEFR041

8m at 2.49g/t Au from 23m in hole LEFR 043 8m at 2.69g/t Au from 58m in hole LEFR043 5m at 2.97g/t Au from 58m in hole LEFR044

28m at 1.13g/t Au from 26m in hole LEFR046

The two gold intersections in hole LEFR043 (Figure 5) are a very important development for the Lucky Strike Trend. Firstly they demonstrate the new lower BIF unit is mineralised and secondly they appear to be the first intervals of primary gold mineralisation. The primary system appears to be open along strike to the south east.

==> picture [397 x 333] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3 Lucky Strike Trend drill hole location over interpreted geology plan showing area of recent RC drilling (inset) relative to other gold anomalies defined. Refer to Figure 4 for a more detailed depiction of the drill program

A notable characteristic of the location of the gold mineralisation is that most is hosted within the oxide zone and constrained only to the BIF units (Figure 5). This suggests the secondary gold mineralisation is hosted within, and is restricted to, the oxide iron rich BIF units, with no lateral dispersion into the black shale.

This has important implications for further exploration along the remainder of the 3000m Lucky Strike Trend, where the near vertical mineralised BIF units, which have a very small geochemical footprint, can easily be missed by wide spaced (80m) air core drilling (Figures 3&4). The opportunity to discover further BIF hosted gold systems along the 3000m Lucky Strike trend will require focused drilling on specific targets designed from detailed ground magnetic data integrated with subtle geochemical gold anomalies.

The discovery of gold mineralisation on three consecutive sections to define a gold system at the northern end of the Lucky Strike Trend is a significant achievement. This system is within a broad subtle (100ppb) gold anomaly defined over a 670m strike length by wide spaced angled air core drilling (Figure 4) and reinforces the Company’s commitment to following up low level gold anomalies in favourable geological environments.

Lucky Strike Background

The Lucky Strike Trend is located approximately 2km to the northwest of the high grade Lucky Bay open pit mined by Silver Lake Resources (ASX:SLR) during 2015 and 4km to the south west of the Randalls Processing Plant operated by SLR (Figure 2). The Company has interpreted from geophysical and geological data that the Lucky Strike Trend shares similar geological and structural settings to the Lucky Bay deposit, being adjacent to the regional Mt Monger Fault that separates mafic units of the Bulong Antiform to the north and metasedimentary rocks to the south.

Reconnaissance early stage air core drilling by the Company since November 2016 has defined a new and emerging gold mineralised trend hosted within sedimentary rocks over a 3,000m strike length. The geological sequence at Lucky Strike and the mineralisation intersected is considered similar to the Lucky Bay gold deposit located approximately 2kms along strike to the south east. This supports the Company’s view of the emergence of a combined 4.5km long gold mineralised structural trend from the Lucky Bay deposit to the northwest, along the Lucky Strike Trend, and coincident with the interpreted position of the Mt Monger Fault

The results from the two earlier aircore drill campaigns returned encouraging near surface oxide gold intersections from the nominal 160m spaced drill sections including 11m at 3.53g/t Au from 60m to End of Hole (EoH) in LEFA136 and 10m at 4.60g/t from 24m to EoH in LEFA171 .

In August 2017 a precollared diamond drilling program consisting of 6 holes for a total of 362.5m of core drilling was completed to determine the geometry of the host rock and gold mineralisation. The drilling evaluated three key sections spaced approximately 1,000m apart along the 3,000m gold mineralised trend defined from the earlier air core drilling campaigns.

Drill hole LSRD006 returned significant multiple narrow high grade oxide gold intersections (Figure 4). The mineralised intervals correspond to a wide zone (approximately 25m down hole length) of highly oxidised Banded Iron Formation (BIF) and siltstone. Significant intersections from LSRD006 include 1.7m at 63g/t Au from 44.7m (Inc. 0.9m at 107g/t Au) and 0.3m at 10.3g/t Au from 46.6m.

Lucky Strike is part of a group of gold targets identified by LEX within 5km’s of the Randalls Processing Plant (Figure 2). These include the Red Dale prospect and the recently announced Capstan anomaly. These targets are a continued key focus for exploration and drilling by the Company.

Lucky Strike Next Steps

The results from the maiden RC drilling at Lucky Strike are a significant development and further strengthen the opportunity for a larger system of gold mineralisation. Planning and preparation for another stage of RC drilling, scheduled to commence in early January, is now underway.

JORC CODE, 2012 Edition-Table 1 Report –Lefroy Project –Lucky Strike Trend SECTION 1: SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA

SECTION1: SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA
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.

The sampling noted in this release has
been carried out using Reverse Circulation
(RC) drilling at the Lucky Strike Prospect.
The RC program comprised 7 angled holes
for 550m, holes varying in depth from 60-
102m with and average depth of 78m. All
holes were drilled -600(dip) to 0300
(Azimuth) at 20m centres.

Sampling and QAQC protocols as per
industry best practice with further details
below.

RC samples were collected from the
cyclone at 1m intervals in plastic bags and
arranged in rows of 10 or 20 bags (20
samples). 1m split samples were collected
from 0m to end of hole (EOH). 1m split
samples directly off the drill rig were
collected to produce a bulk 2-3kg sample
which was sent to the Laboratory in
Kalgoorlie for analysis. Samples were
dried, pulverised, split to produce a 40g
charge for analysis by fire assay with Au
determination
by
Atomic
Absorption
Spectrometry (AAS).
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 if so, by what method, etc).

The Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was
completed by a KWL350 RC rig from
Challenge Drilling (Kalgoorlie). Low air face
sampling
hammer
drilling
proved
satisfactory to penetrate the regolith and
reduce contamination risk.
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 recovery
and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred
due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.


The samples varied from dry in the upper
regolith
and
weathered/transitional
sequence to moist/wet in the clay and
sand/gravel lithologies. Diligent drilling
and ROP (Rate of Penetration) provided

Samples routinely analysed for gold using
the 40gram Fire Assay digest method with
an
AAS
finish
at
Bureau
Veritas’s
Kalgoorlie Laboratory. Bottom of Hole
(BOH) samples were collected but are as
yet to be analysed. This sample was
carefully selected and collected by the
geologist to represent near fresh (Saprock)
rock at the base of the hole and will be
analysed for a suite of elements.

Quality control process and internal
laboratory checks demonstrate acceptable
levels of accuracy. At the laboratory
regular assay repeats, lab standards,
checks and blanks were analysed.
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 results have been reviewed and
verified by alternative company personnel.

No holes were twinned.

Capture of field logging is electronic using
Toughbook
hardware
and
Logchief
software. Logged data is then exported as
an excel spreadsheet to the Company’s
external database managers which is then
loaded to the Company’s DATASHED
database and validation checks completed
to ensure data accuracy. Assay files are
received electronically from the laboratory
and filed to the Company’s server, and
provided
to
the
external
database
manager.

There has been no adjustment to the
assay data. The primary gold (Au) field
reported by the laboratory is the priority
value used for plotting, interrogating and
reporting.
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.
• Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

Drill hole positions were surveyed using a
handheld Garmin GPS 60 with a horizontal
(Easting Northing) accuracy of +-5m. Drill
location is set up by the supervising
geologist. No downhole surveys were
completed on vertical holes, however
were completed on the angled holes at
the collar and EOH.

reading from Garmin hand held GPS with
an accuracy of+-10m and considered
suitable for the flat terrain. Where new
holes were within a short distance of

existing DGPS surveyed Lefroy RC holes,
the RL for these holes were ascribed to the
new RC drill holes.
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.

Hole spacing at nominal 20m centres on
east west orientated drill lines with line
spacing nominal 20m.

RC sample batch included 1m split

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.
• The North-East orientated drill traverses
considered effective to evaluate the
roughly North-West trending sedimentary
iron formation (SIF) stratigraphic unit
which is interpreted to be the prospective
host rock. The RC drill holes were intended
as followup work to assess previous Lefroy
AC and DD drill holes which were
orientated on East-West drill lines which
intercepted
high
gold
grades
and
favourable geology.
• The new orientation is considered to be a
more effective test of “true” width of
mineralisation due to the fact the host
rock unit is striking roughly North-
West/South-East.
Sample security • The measures taken to ensure sample security.
Samples were bagged in labelled and
numbered polyweave or plastic bags,
collected and personally delivered to the
Bureau Veritas Laboratory (Kalgoorlie) by
Company field personnel. Samples were
then
sorted
and
checked
for
inconsistencies against lodged Submission
sheet by Bureau Veritas staff.

Bureau Veritas checked the samples
received against the Lefroy Exploration
Limited (LEX) submission sheet to notify of
any missing or extra samples. Following
analysis, the sample, pulps and residues
are retained by the laboratory in a secure
storageyard.
Audits or reviews • The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.

All sampling and analytical results of the
drill program were reviewed by the Senior
Exploration
Geologist
and
Managing
Director. Anomalous gold intersections
were checked against library chip trays to
correlate with geology. No specific audits
or reviews have been conducted.

• elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above
sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
• dip and azimuth of the hole
• down hole length and interception depth
• 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 Competent
Person should clearly explain why this is the
case.
• Table containing drill hole collar, survey and
intersection
data
for
material
(gold
intersections >0.50gpt Au) drill holes are
included in the Table in the body of the
announcement.
• No Information has been excluded.

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.

All report grades have been length weighted.
High grades have not been cut. A lower cut
off of 0.25gpt Au has been used to identify
significant results.

Where present, higher grade values are
included in the intercepts table and assay
values equal to or > 1.0 g/t Au have been
stated on a separate line below the intercept
assigned with the text ‘includes’.
• Reported RC results have been calculated
using 1m split samples. No metal equivalent
values or formulas used.
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’).


All results are based on down-hole metres.
• Previous
drill
coverage
has
provided
guidance for the presence of steeply dipping
stratigraphy
comprising
a
sedimentary
package of rocks containing sedimentary iron
formations (SIF) which provide the best host
rock for gold mineralisation. A recently
completed ground magnetic survey over the
area of interest confirms a NW strike of the
magnetic sediments within the stratigraphy
and hence has guided the orientation of
drilling
for
this
program.
Structural
measurements on orientated diamond drill
core from a previous Lefroy Exploration drill
program also assisted in decided which
orientation to drill these follow up RC holes.
Results from this drill program do not
represent ‘true widths’ however holes are
designed to intercept the host sequence
perpendicular to its strike.
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.
• Appropriate summary diagrams (section &
plan) are included in the accompanying
announcement.
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.

• Significant assay results are provided in Table
1 for the recent LEX RC drill program.
• Drill holes with no significant results are
reported as such in the Table 1 in the body of
the report
• Significant assay results from prior drilling
are noted in the bodyof the report.
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.

All relevant data has been included within
this report.
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.
• The appropriate next stage of exploration
planning is currently underway and will likely
consist of RC drilling.
