“These significant results from Lucky Strike further support our belief we have found a new BIF hosted gold system along a 3km trend, undercover, inside 12 months. The high grade intersection in LEFR056 is a great result and supports our view of this being a BIF hosted style of gold mineralisation. Lucky Strike, when complimented with the nearby Capstan surface anomaly, indicates that we may be dealing with multiple bedrock gold systems. An aggressive program of RC and diamond drilling is planned for March”

ASX Announcement 14 February, 2018

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

Lucky Strike is located approximately 3km 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 that the trend hosting Lucky Strike shares similar geological and structural settings to the Lucky Bay deposit (Figure 2).

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 nine (9) hole RC drilling program (“program”) at Lucky Strike in January 2018 to evaluate the strike extension to the gold mineralisation defined by the initial RC drill campaign in November 2017(Figures 2 & 3). The results from this program have more than doubled the strike length to 160m (limit of drilling), with the high grade intersection in LEFR056 also open down dip and along strike.

The recent program comprised 720m of angled RC drilling on three sections (Figure 3 & 4). Three holes on two 20m step out sections (Lines 4 & 5) were completed to evaluate the immediate strike extension to the defined gold system. An additional three holes were drilled on a 60m step out section to the southeast (Line 6) to test the trend in a favourable geological setting identified from detailed ground magnetics.

ASX Announcement, 14 February, 2018

The key aim of the program was to explore for strike extensions to the multiple mineralised BIF units within 80m depth from surface. The results from diamond holes LSRD001 and 006 had provided the breakthrough that aided the reorientation of the drill direction (Figure 4-Lines 1, 2 and 3) in the initial RC program. The approach in this second phase of RC drilling was to build upon those foundation programs, recognising the discrete nature of the individual host units and the mineralisation.

The results from the nine hole program have delivered strong, broad gold intersections (Table 1) from the three sections drilled, and further demonstrate strike continuity to the system (Figure 4). The drilling intersected multiple, mineralised banded iron formation (“BIF”) units within a package of metamorphosed siltstone, shale and black shale (Figures 5 and 6). The identification of multiple BIF units improves the potential for a broader zone of mineralisation. Drill depths ranged from 60m to 105m down hole.

ASX Announcement, 14 February, 2018

ASX Announcement 14 February, 2018

Significant results from the RC drill program include:-

  • 5m at 1.70g/t Au from 56m in hole LEFR049;

  • 3m at 5.50g/t Au from 25m in hole LEFR 050;

  • 12m at 1.51g/t Au from 52m in hole LEFR050;

  • 7m at 1.18g/t Au from 35m in hole LEFR051;

  • 15m at 2.18g/t Au from 42m in hole LEFR056;

  • 6m at 5.37g/t Au from 79m in hole LEFR056; Includes 3m at 10.3g/t Au from 80m

The two gold intersections in hole LEFR056 (Figures 4 & 6) are an important breakthrough for Lucky Strike. This hole (Line 6), the last drilled in the program, intersected high grade mineralisation that is open down dip and along strike. The gold mineralisation (3m at 10.3g/t from 80m) is from an interval of semi massive to massive pyrite within BIF in the primary zone (fresh rock). This is the first time this style of mineralisation has been found at Lucky Strike. It is the first intersection of high grade primary mineralisation, within BIF, that is open down dip and along strike. This supports the Company’s view of an improving tenor (grade x thickness) of the system to the south east.

ASX Announcement, 14 February, 2018

ASX Announcement 14 February, 2018

A notable characteristic of the gold mineralisation within the oxide zone is that it is confined only to the oxidised iron rich units (BIF), with no lateral dispersion into the black shale. Furthermore, Lucky Strike has no discernable surface gold (soils, auger) anomaly and only closer spaced aircore drilling with early stage diamond drilling has provided the breakthrough for discovery.

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 along the trend will require focused drilling on specific targets designed from detailed ground magnetic data integrated with subtle geochemical gold anomalies.

Lucky Strike Background

Reconnaissance early stage air core drilling by the Company since November 2016 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. This supports the Company’s view of the emergence of a combined 4.5km long gold mineralised structural trend from the Lucky Bay deposit, along the Lucky Strike Trend, and coincident with the interpreted position of the Mt Monger Fault (Figure 2)

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 pre-collared 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 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 second phase of RC drilling at Lucky Strike are significant and could lead to the discovery of a larger system of gold mineralisation. Planning and preparation for additional RC drilling will scope a larger area to both extend the strike extent and down dip of the system. A program of diamond drilling is planned to compliment this activity to further understand the geometry of mineralisation in the fresh rock. Both are scheduled to commence in March 2018.

JORC CODE, 2012 Edition-Table 1 Report –Lefroy Project –Lucky Strike Prospect January 2018 RC Drilling 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 9 angled holes
for 720m, holes varying in depth from 60-
105m with and average depth of 80m. 8
of the 9 holes were drilled -600(dip) and
one at -620toward 0300(Azimuth) spaced
along 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 buckets
and arranged in rows of 10 or 20 samples.
1m split samples were collected from 0m
to end of hole (EOH). 1m split samples
directly off the drill rig splitter were
collected to produce a 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 aKWL350RC rig from
Raglan 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 majority of samples remained dry
with good recovery obtained. Where
samples were wet or experienced less
than desired recovery this was instantly
evident in size of the bulk sample laid on
the ground and was carefully recorded by
a Lefroy representative on hard copy
sample sheets.

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,
the cyclone was cleaned out again at the
end of each drill rod.

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.
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

Veritas’s
Kalgoorlie Laboratory.

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

Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications
applied.
• Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Hole spacing at nominal 20m centres on
0300orientated drill lines with line spacing
20m to the NW and SE of previous Lefroy

further 60m to the SE.

Mineralisation at Lucky Strike is
constrained to a particular iron rich
geological unit logged as a SIF
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
(sedimentary iron formation). Where SIF
was logged by the geologist, 1m samples
were sent to the laboratory for analysis by
fire assay. Where it has been inferred no
gold mineralisation should occur, samples
were collected using a scoop from the 1m
bulk samples laid out on the ground at the
time of drilling, into a 4m composite
sample which was also sent to the
laboratory for the same fire assay analysis.
The geologist dictated to the field
supervisor which samples should be
collected as 1m samples and which ones
should be a composite sample. The field
supervisor then collected these samples in
sequence using pre-numbered calico bags.
Where 1m samples were collected, the
original 1m spilt from the cyclone was
simply placed into a numbered calico bag.
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 the
host rock due to the fact the host rock unit
is strikingroughlyNorth-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.

previous
exploration
work
was
completed on the Lucky Strike trend by
Integra Mining Limited, Western Mining
and Octagonal Resources. The bulk of this
work included phases of Aircore (AC). This
work identified mineralisation along the
trend, however no previous explorer had
produced the gold grades Lefroy has
identified.
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 >0.25gpt Au with a max of 2m
internal dilution) 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 (intersections).

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 not
reported.
• Significant assay results from historical
drillingare 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 noted in
the body of the report. The final program
may be influenced by pending multielement
data and ongoing petrology studies.
