ASX Release: 3 April 2017

Exploration Update

New Gold Anomalies Defined in Lake Lefroy

Key Points:

  • Aircore drilling identifies two new broad and cohesive gold anomalies in Lake Lefroy at the Lefroy Gold Project.

  • The gold anomalies define a new mineralised geological trend over a 3.5km strike that is subparallel and to the east of the Woolibar Fault.

  • Encouraging intersections returned from each anomaly, including 4m at 1.71g/t Au from 44m in LEFA 086 at target LLT04, and 4m at 2.39g/t from 88m in LEFA 113 at target LLT06

  • Of the seven conceptual targets evaluated in the drill program, three have generated encouraging gold results and intersected promising geological attributes that support the need for further drilling

  • Initial program evaluated only 6% of tenure held by the Company on Lake Lefroy

  • New data acquired to be evaluated with the Companys previously acquired geophysical data to advance the geological model and provide additional drill targets

  • Follow up drilling being planned and scheduled for early May.

The Board of Lefroy Exploration Limited (ASX: LEX) (“Lefroy” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the receipt of final assay results from composite samples from its early stage Lake Lefroy aircore drilling program at its flagship Lefroy Gold Project (“LGP” or “Project”), located approximately 50km to the south east of Kalgoorlie. The results from this preliminary exploration program have reaffirmed the Company’s concept of the emerging gold prospectivity along or proximal to the Woolibar Fault.

Reflecting on the results of the lake drilling program Lefroy Exploration Limited Managing Director, Wade Johnson said “these are encouraging early results from a wide spaced and shallow drill program testing geophysical targets within the vast openness of Lake Lefroy. We are pleased to have delineated three gold anomalies that warrant further evaluation from our first phase of exploration and scheduling follow up drilling for May”.

The Company completed an early stage aircore drill program in February 2017 to evaluate seven priority target areas located within the eastern part of Lake Lefroy in its wholly owned tenements (Figure1). The seven targets evaluated comprised six conceptual targets defined from geophysical datasets and one geochemical target known as the Zanex Prospect, where previous drilling by Cyprus Gold Australia Limited in 1997 intersected 6m at 2.97gpt Au from wide spaced aircore drilling, that has never been followed up (refer to LEX Prospectus dated 8 September 2016).

The six conceptual targets (Figure 2) were generated following interpretation of airborne magnetic and ground gravity geophysical datasets that has provided an improved geological and structural framework for the area (refer LEX: ASX announcement 23 December 2016). These targets were selected on the basis of areas of geological and or structural complexity that have been derived from interpreting the geophysical data, and in particular the detailed ground gravity data, acquired by the Company in November 2016.

Assay results from composite samples (4m) have been received for the remaining 74 holes (LEFA 60-132) of the program. These results were from targets LLT03, 4,5,6,7 and also both infill and extensional drill holes from the Zanex Prospect.

The recent results have highlighted two new and emerging targets at LLT04 and LLT06 based upon a subtle geochemical gold signature, a favourable geological environment and trends defined from aeromagnetic data (Figure 3).

Contouring maximum gold value in each hole has resulted in the definition of cohesive anomalies (+40ppb Au) at LTT4 and 6. Importantly, the best intersections returned from each anomaly were 4m at 1.71g/t Au from 44m in LEFA 086 at target LLT04 ( Figure 4), and 4m at 2.39g/t from 88m in LEFA 113 at target LTT06. Targets LLT4 and 6 are located 3.5km apart along strike on the same magnetic unit, which from bottom of hole drill chips is recognised to be a magnetite altered mafic unit. (Figure 3).

EXPLORATION PROGRAM DETAILS

All targets evaluated in the February program lie along or adjacent to a corridor termed the Woolibar Trend (Figure 2). Within Lake Lefroy, the targets extend over a 10km northwest strike length. To the north of Zanex, this trend encompasses the historical Cutters Luck gold workings and a series of small but nevertheless important alluvial gold workings. These occurrences support the hypothesis that the trend could be gold bearing.

The Woolibar corridor is part of the Company’s broader multi target exploration focus within the Lefroy Gold Project, where aircore drilling was recently commenced at the Lucky Strike prospect.

Each of the target areas (Figure 2) were evaluated with wide spaced vertical air core drilling as an initial test to understand the geology beneath the recent lake sediments and older transported cover sequences. Drill traverses were spaced at either 160m or 320m apart, and hole centres mainly 80m apart but up to 160m. The methodology of the wide spaced program was to determine the depth of the cover and regolith, determine geology to support ongoing development of the geological model and to search for indicators (alteration, geochemistry) or low tenor gold anomalies that could represent the footprint of a primary ( fresh rock) gold system.

The exploration methodology and approach employed by the Company is derived from the key learnings from the discovery history of the Invincible gold deposit at St Ives in the western half of Lake Lefroy. The discovery of Invincible was concealed for many years due to the limited extent of its gold footprint in the regolith, and historical air core and RAB holes drilled within 20m of the deposit had no discernable gold anomaly (Woodcock, et al, 2015). There is no discernable regolith profile over Invincible, with younger lake sediments laying directly on oxidised bedrock (saprock) with little saprolite present, which is termed a stripped profile, and hence any well-developed regolith which could host a broad supergene anomaly was removed.

The Company has factored this aspect into its exploration and understanding of results from drilling in Lake Lefroy. The gold footprint of primary mineralisation in the regolith could be discrete and the gold values subtle. Hence, the company considers weak or subtle (less than 0.1g/t Au) gold response from wide spaced drilling in areas of poor regolith development could be represent deeper primary mineralisation.

A total of 4881m of drilling was completed in 92 holes over the seven targets in February 2017. Drill hole depths predominantly ranged from 30-55m, the air core drill technique terminating near or top of fresh rock. However at target LLT06 (Figure 2) holes terminated at depths of 80-108m encountering deeper transported cover above basement lithological units.

This phase of exploration has tested a number (two) of structural trends where previous exploration in the 1990s had found indications of gold mineralisation and that has now identified a new gold mineralised geological trend subparallel and to the east of the Woolibar Fault.

The gold results from targets LLT04 and LLT06 are of significance given the regolith environment interpreted from the drilling. The drilling intersected a variable thickness of firstly recent lake clays, secondly transported palaeochannel clays that unconformably overlay weathered basement rocks. The weathering profile is partially stripped that has resulted in the loss of the upper saprolite or the strongly oxidised portion of the profile where stronger concentrations of supergene gold could occur. Consequently the transported clays overlay lower saprolite and saprock, where the gold footprint from a primary source can be much smaller and the tenor of gold subtle. The Company is very encouraged by the results generated from the initial wide spaced drilling at LLT04 and LLT06 that has defined two new and emerging prospects that warrant further exploration.

Results were also received for four infill and two strike extension drill traverses totaling six holes at Zanex. The aim of the ten additional holes was to follow up an encouraging intersection of 17m at 2.14g/t Au from 40m to the end of hole returned from hole LEFA 47 (Table 1) from the recent program. The hole intersected some 20m of transported cover above saprolite and terminated in an interpreted altered mafic lithology. Two infill holes at 40m centres were drilled next to LEFA 47 and results are pending and two holes 40m to the south. The best intersection returned from the 4m composite sampling was 4m at 0.16g/t Au from 48m in hole LEFA 128, located 40m to the west of LEFA 47. The Zanex Prospect consists of a north west trending sequence of strongly altered high Mg basalt over a 500m strike length intruded by porphyry. This early stage drilling remains predominantly wide spaced drilling within a stripped regolith profile. Exploration is underway to collect the 1m samples from selected holes for analysis to assist in improving the geochemical response.

ONGOING WORK PROGRAM

The Company is encouraged by the results of the initial exploration program over Lake Lefroy and further work is in progress. Bottom of hole (BoH) samples from drill holes that penetrated bedrock have been submitted for multielement analysis ( suite of elements) and will be used to map geochemical patterns from pathfinder elements (e.g. Arsenic, Tellurium, Bismuth) that could be associated with a primary gold system. Advancing the geological model is integral to the ongoing work program and will involve incorporating the new geological knowledge from drilling to further interrogate the geophysical data, to deliver an updated geological interpretation and generate new drill targets. Follow up drilling is being planned for May.

JORC CODE, 2012 Edition-Table 1 Report –Lefroy Project –Woolibar Trend-as at 3 April 2017 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 AirCore (AC) drilling
at several targets located in Lake Lefroy,
along a corridor termed the Woolibar
Trend. The AC program comprised 92
vertical holes for 4881m, holes varying in
depth from 3-108m with an average depth
of 53m. At each target hole spacing was
primarily at 160m centres on traverses
located 160m to 320m apart. At some
targets (eg Zanex) the hole spacing was
bought down to a regular 80m grid

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

AC samples were collected from the
cyclone at 1m intervals and laid out in
rows of 10 or 20m (10-20 samples) on the
ground (salt lake) or contained in green
plastic bags. If laid out on the ground 1m
library samples were collected in calico
sample bags for future detailed sampling if
required. Composite 4m samples were
then collected by scoop or grab sampling
the 1m piles with a flour scoop 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 sample for analysis by fire
assay with Au determination by Atomic
Absorption Spectrometry.
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 AirCore (AC) drilling was completed by
Raglan Drilling (Kalgoorlie). The AC drill bit
has a diameter of 78mm and collects
samples through an inner tube to reduce
contamination, but also allows better
penetration through any palaeochannel
puggy clays and fine sands. Aircore drilling
is blade refusal and hence terminates in
fresh rock or hard material such asquartz.
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 majority of the samples collected
from the AC drill program were moist.
Given all the drilling was in Lake Lefroy the
initial 0-20m of drilling was wet with
muddy samples, some with poor recovery.
Minor AC samples were wet at the base of
the holes. Sample recovery below the
base of alluvium (BOA) was considered
appropriate with some samples dry with
good sample recovery.

Sample
recovery
size
and
sample
condition (dry, wet, moist) recorded.
Recovery of samples estimated to be 10-
100%, with limited recovery particularly
drilling through the surficial lake clays and
puggy moist transported clays.

Drilling with care (eg. clearing hole at start
of rod, regular cyclone cleaning) if water
encountered to reduce incidence of wet –
sticky sample and cross contamination.

Insufficient
sample
population
to
determine whether relationship exists
between sample recovery and grade. The
quality of the sample (wet, dry, low
recovery)was recorded duringlogging.
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Logging • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically
and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining
studies and metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.
Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
• The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.


Detailed logging of drill chips to record,
regolith,
lithology,
structure,
mineralisation and recoveries in each hole
by an experienced geologist.

Logging carried out by sieving 2m
composite sample cuttings, washing in
water and the entire hole collected in
plastic chip trays for future reference.

Every hole was logged for the entire
length.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half
or all core taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
• For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling
stages to maximise representivity of 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 grain size
of the material being sampled.

No core drilling completed

Composite samples of 4m were collected
by scoop or grab (sticky clays) sampling
1m intervals into pre-numbered calico
bags. Sample weight 2 - 3 kg. The last
interval of each hole was a specific 1m.
Collected 4m Samples placed in plastic
and/or polyweave bags for despatch to
assay laboratory.
• The sample preparation of the AC follows
industry best practice, involving oven
drying,
pulverising,
to
produce
a
homogenous sub sample for analysis.
• Along with composite samples, standards
and blanks were randomly inserted
(approximately every 40 samples) and
were included in the laboratory analysis.
Standards
were
certified
reference
material prepared by Geostats Pty Ltd.
Duplicate samples were collected at zones
of interest and at irregular intervals of
about 1 in everythree holes.
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.


Samples routinely analysed for gold using
the 40gram Fire Assay digest method with

Veritas’s
Kalgoorlie Laboratory. A Bottom of Hole
(BOH) sample was also collected but is 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.

No geophysical tools, spectrometers or
hand held XRF instruments used.

Quality control process and internal
laboratory checks demonstrate acceptable
levels of accuracy. At the laboratory,
regular assay repeats, lab standards,
checks and blanks are 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

Limited in 1996.

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

There has been no adjustment to the
assay data. The primary Au field
reported by the laboratory is the 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
hand-held Garmin GPS with a horizontal
(Easting Northing) accuracy of +-5m. Drill
location is set up by the supervising
geologist.
No
downhole
surveys
completed.

Grid System – MGA94 Zone 51.

Topographic elevation captured by using
reading from Garmin hand held GPS with
an accuracy of+-10m and considered
suitable for the flat terrain.
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 80m or 160m
centres on new east west orientated drill
lines with line spacing’s varying from 160m
to 320m. Infill drilling (4 holes) to 40m
centres at the Zanex Prospect on existing
sections.

AC samples composite range 2-4m but
generally 4m. No assay compositing has
been applied.
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 East West orientated drill traverses
considered effective to evaluate the
northerly-north westerly trending geology
and interpreted regional Woolibar Fault
which
has
been
interpreted
from
aeromagnetic and gravity data. Drill holes
are reconnaissance and are orientated
appropriately to ensure unbiased sampling
of the geological trends
• The AC drilling is reconnaissance in nature,
being wide spaced and the orientation of
the deformed rocks intersected is yet to be
confirmed.
Sample security • The measures taken to ensure sample security.
Individual
composite
samples
were
bagged in polyweave bags, collected and
personally delivered to the Bureau Veritas
Laboratory in Kalgoorlie by the Field

the
key
exploration in the area now known as
Zanex was completed Cyprus Gold Australia
Corporation in 1997 and this drill program
is well documented in a report to the
Department of Mines and Petroleum
WAMEX report A52840. This report clearly
documents the air core drill program that
resulted in the intersection in hole LFA182
drilled by Cyprus Gold Australia Limited. At
the LLT 04 target prior drilling was
completed by North Limited in 1996 and is
documented in WAMEX report a48593.
These holes are depicted on Figure 3.
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. The project is underlain by a
folded and fault bounded sequence of
Archaean rocks, and in the Woolibar trend

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
• Table containing drill hole collar, survey, and
intersection
data
for

intersections >0.04gpt Au) drill holes are
included in the Table in the body of the
announcement.
• No Information has been excluded.
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
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.
• There are historical drill holes within the
Zanex Prospect and these are depicted on
the drill hole plan and section in the
announcement. These holes were drilled by
Cyprus Gold Australia Corporation in the mid
1990’s.
• There are historical holes at the LLT04 target
drilled by North Limited in 1996, the location
depicted on Figure 3 in the body of 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.

There is no weighting or averaging of the
reported grades. High grades have not been
cut. A lower cut off of 0.04gpt Au has been
used to identify significant results in Table 1.
These are considered significant given the
first pass reconnaissance nature of the
drilling.

Where present, higher grade values are
included in the intercepts table and assay
values equal to or > 1.0 g/t Au.

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.
• Given the wide spaced reconnaissance
nature of the drilling the geometry of the
mineralisation reported is not sufficiently
known and the true width is not known
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 entire LEX 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
(Zanex)and depicted on Figure 3.
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 next stage of exploration will involve
collection of 1m re samples from drill holes,
updating the geological model and planning
further air core drilling.
