ASX Release: 19 May 2017

Drilling at Red Dale Identifies Broad Zone of Gold Mineralisation

Key Points:

  • Significant gold results returned from RC drilling at the Red Dale Prospect, located at the Company’s flagship Lefroy Gold Project, south east of Kalgoorlie

  • Program designed to target the source of the extensive gold footprint in the regolith from historic drilling, and also improving definition of gold located at base of palaeochannel

  • New drilling has confirmed and reinforced tenor of the gold mineralisation at the base of a palaeochannel over a 320m strike length and open to the north and south

  • Multiple significant shallow gold intersections returned from the 26 holes drilled, including 9m at 1.69g/t Au from 41m in LEFR006, 6m at 1.75 g/t Au from 42m in LEFR013 and 7m at 1.44 g/t Au from 47m in LEFR002

  • Gold system identified located 1km north of Silver Lake Resources, Randall’s Processing Plant

  • Gold mineralisation also intersected in the altered basement rocks with a best intersection of 1m at 4.85 g/t Au from 66m in LEFR 017.

  • The results demonstrate the robust nature and tenor of gold at the base of the palaeochannel and opens the opportunity to evaluate numerous other occurrences at the Red Dale Prospect

  • Preparations underway to conduct follow up RC drilling with a Programme of Works-Exploration recently lodged.

The Board of Lefroy Exploration Limited (ASX: LEX) (“Lefroy” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the results from an initial reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Red Dale Prospect at its flagship Lefroy Gold Project (“LGP” or “Project”), located approximately 50km to the south east of Kalgoorlie (Figure 1).

The LGP is a commanding contiguous land package covering in excess of 540km[2] in the heart of the world class gold production area between Kalgoorlie and Norseman. The Project adjoins the Gold Fields owned St Ives gold camp and mining centre, which contains the Invincible gold deposit, now in production and located in the western part of Lake Lefroy. The LGP is also immediately south of the Mount Monger Gold Operation and adjoins the site of the Randalls Processing Facility, both operated by Silver Lake Resources (ASX: SLR).

The Red Dale Prospect adjoins (Figure 2), and is immediately north of the Randalls Processing Plant and Salt Creek Open pit held by Silver Lake Resources (ASX:SLR). Gold mineralisation was identified in 2007 by Integra Mines Limited (“Integra”) following on from their discovery of the Salt Creek deposit located 2.5km to the south of Red Dale. Integra’s aircore drilling at Red Dale during the period 2007-2010 identified a large gold anomaly of approximately 1.2km in length by up to 1km in width. Numerous gold intersections were reported at or near the base of the palaeochannel sediments (transported overburden), in gravel horizons overlying a similar package of rocks as at Salt Creek.

The Company considered that this broad anomaly and intersections are likely to be reflecting gold anomalous transported basal gravels derived from a nearby bedrock source, and that the material in the channels is unlikely to have been transported a significant distance. In late April the Company completed a twenty six (26) hole vertical reverse circulation (RC) drilling program totaling 2197m primarily aimed at exploring for primary mineralisation that could be the source of the gold mineralisation identified in the basal transported gravels and sands by previous drilling.

RC drilling by the Company was focused on an area within the southern part of the broad gold geochemical anomaly. This drill technique was selected to firstly obtain a better sample return from the basal channel material but also to penetrate deeper into the basement in the search for primary mineralisation. Five 80m spaced drill traverses were completed on lines with prior air core (AC) drilling, evaluating a 320m length of the palaeochannel. All holes successfully penetrated the transported overburden, several with basal channel sand and gravel, and ending in fresh basement lithologies.

Figure 2 Red Dale Prospect location plan highlighting maximum gold in historical drill holes and key intercepts (refer Figure 3 Inset for LEX recent drilling) [drill hole location and results originally depicted in Figure 13 of the Independent Geologist’s Report contained in the Lefroy Exploration Limited Prospectus dated 8 September 2016]

The results (Table 1)from 1m samples collected from this early stage program have succeeded in confirming a gold mineralised palaeochannel system over 320m of strike and open to the north and south (Figure 3). Better gold intersections from the basal channel gravels include:-

  • 6m at 1.75g/t Au from 42m in LEFR013

  • 9m at 1.69g/t Au from 41m in LEFR006

  • 7m at 1.44g/t Au from 47m in LEFR002

  • 7m at 1.16g/t Au from 49m in LEFR018

Importantly the thickness of the gold mineralised basal gravels-sands varies from 1m to a maximum of 9m, but in the core of the channel is a consistent 5-7m thick and over a width of 40-60m. The gold mineralised channel gravels remain open to the north and south and previous drilling has demonstrated gold intersections within this horizon to the north. The Company believes the strike dimensions of this mineralised channel host unit could be extended beyond the 320m defined from the recent RC drill program.

Palaeochannel hosted gold deposits are not uncommon in the Eastern Goldfields and have been mined successfully and profitably by open pit methods in the Kalgoorlie area such as, Higginsville (Swordsman), St Ives (Argo), and Mt Pleasant (Rose Dam, Lady Bountiful Extended). The Company is conscious of the opportunity to improve the size of the channel hosted system identified at Red Dale, but also the opportunity for further similar systems at the Project given the expanse of the existing regolith geochemical gold anomaly.

In addition to the channel hosted gold intersections from the recent program, the Company is pleased to report encouraging gold intersections from the bedrock beneath the transported palaeochannel cover (Table 2). The primary aim of the RC program was to identify primary mineralisation or vectors to primary mineralisation that could be the source for the gold in the transported gravels and sands at the base of the channel.

An encouraging intersection of 1m at 4.85g/t Au from 66m in LEFR017 in an altered high Mg Basalt was returned, and located at the end of the drill traverse. Low level (0.10-0.50g/t Au) gold mineralisation in bedrock was returned from a further seven holes, with hole LEFR002 returning multiple intervals.

These bedrock results are considered positive from an early stage drill program, and when placed in the context of the altered high Mg basalt host rock. The combination of these results and detailed appraisal of the characteristics of the mineralised channel gravels and sands will provide additional vectors to be used to explore for a primary source.

ONGOING WORK PROGRAM

The Company is encouraged by both the tenor and extent of the gold mineralisation defined in the basal channel gravels and sands from this initial drill program. The focus of exploration at Red Dale remains fixed on the discovery of a primary source to the broad gold in palaeochannel anomaly, in conjunction with the opportunity to delineate one or more channel hosted gold systems. In light of the recent results the Company has a pending Program of Works-Exploration (PoWE) with the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) for additional infill and extensional RC Drilling. This is expected to be granted in June 2017. In addition the Company will progress analysis of the recent results to gain further understanding of the geomorphology of the palaeochannel system to provide vectors for a primary gold system.

The Red Dale Prospect, is one of number of exploration targets the Company is actively exploring in the Lefroy Gold Project, with aircore drilling currently underway in Lake Lefroy.

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 Red Dale Prospect,
south west of the Daisy Milano gold mine.
The RC program comprised 26 vertical
holes for 2197m, holes varying in depth
from 67-97m with an average depth of
85m. Hole spacing was a nominal 40m
centres on traverses located 80m apart.

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 20m (20 samples). A
combination of composite (2-4m) samples
were then collected by PVC spear or
scoop. One (1m) split samples directly off
the drill rig were also 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 Schramm Rotodrill rig
from Raglan Drilling (Kalgoorlie). A 5’’
(approximately 125mm) face sampling
hammer was used for the drilling program.
Low air face sampling hammer drilling
proved satisfactory to penetrate the
regolith and reduce contamination risk.
Drill sample

• 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.

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

features and trends.
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.

Section 2: REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS – LEFROY PROJECT-Red Dale Prospect 19 May 2017

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 operate in the area.

The Lefroy Project is located approximately
50 km in south east from Kalgoorlie,
Western
Australia
and
consists
of
a
contiguous
package
of
wholly
owned
tenements held under title by LEX or it’s
wholly owned subsidiary’s Hogans Resources
Pty Ltd.

The tenement E25/517 is current and in
good standing with the Department of Mines
and Petroleum (DMP) of Western Australia.
The tenement is held by Hogans Resources
Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lefroy
Exploration Limited.
• The tenement is current and in good
standing with the Department of Mines and
Petroleum(DMP)of Western Australia.
Exploration done by
other parties
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.

Considerable previous exploration work was
completed on the Red Dale tenure by
Integra Mining Limited and Silverlake
Resources Limited. The bulk of this work
included phases of Aircore (AC), Reverse
Circulation (RC) and Diamond drilling (DDH)
and was completed mainly in the period
2007-2014. This work reported numerous
anomalous and significant gold values (ASX:
LEX Release dated 24thApril,2017).
Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

The Lefroy Project is located in the southern
part of the Norseman Wiluna Greenstone
Belt and straddles the triple junction of
three crustal units, the Parker, Boorara and
Bulong
Domain.
The
Lefroy
project
tenements are mostly covered by alluvial,
colluvial and lacustrine material with very
little outcrop. Archean geology at the Red
Dale prospect is concealed by overlying
transported clay, laterite and sand/gravel.
Drill
information
has
revealed
major
lithology types including schistose in part
ultramafic
sequence,
dolerite/gabbroic
rocks
and
intermediate
intrusives.
Aeromagnetic data reveals (truncated in
part)NNW trendingfeatures.
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:
• easting and northing of the drill hole collar
• 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.
• Historical drill holes (mainly Integra origin)
were completed within the Red Dale
Prospect and these are depicted on the drill
hole plan and section in the announcement.

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 0.5gpt 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. Composite samples
collected from the initial 30m of each hole
are yet to be submitted to the laboratory.
The initial 20-30m of each hole is within
barren overburden clays and not considered
a priority to assay.

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
relatively
flat-lying
palaeochannel gold trend and vertical drilling
is considered the most appropriate hole
angle to assess. Vertical holes were also
considered effective for testing for potential,
local bedrock dippingbedrock.
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
Tables 1 and 2 for the recent LEX RC drill
program.
• Drill holes with no significant results are not
reported.
• Significant assay results from historical
drilling are noted in the body of the report
and on Figures 2,4 and 5.
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 may be
influenced by pending multielement and
ongoing petrology studies.
