Maiden Drilling Program Intersects Gold at Hang Glider Hill

  • An early stage three-hole diamond drilling program completed at the Hang Glider Hill gold prospect has intersected visible gold in the first hole 19HGDD001

  • Significant shallow gold intersections in hole 19HGDD001 include:

  • 6.8m @ 1.86g/t Au from 53.7m

incl. 1.05m @ 7.42g/t Au

  • 7.68m @ 0.66g/t Au from 44m

  • The gold mineralisation is hosted by quartz-carbonate veins that cross cut a highly deformed, flat dipping, north-westerly trending package of highly altered rocks interpreted to be proximal to the Mount Monger Fault

  • The Mt Monger Fault is a regional scale fault that appears to be a major influence on gold mineralisation at Hang Glider Hill and Lucky Strike, 17km to the south east

  • The Hang Glider Hill prospect was initially recognised by the discovery of gold nuggets over a 2000m long north-westerly trend in 2018 and is supported by gold anomalies in auger surface sample results

  • This new gold discovery complements the growing gold prospect portfolio at the Lefroy Gold Project, which now includes Lucky Strike, Zanex, Havelock and Red Dale

ASX Announcement 29 November 2019

Lefroy Exploration Limited (ASX: LEX) (“Lefroy” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce results from a recently completed diamond drilling (DD) program at the Hang Glider Hill (“Hang Glider” or “HGH”) prospect, located within the Lefroy Gold Project. The three angled holes were designed to evaluate the geology beneath the topographical feature known as Hang Glider Hill and constitute the maiden drilling by Lefroy at this developing gold prospect.

Hang Glider is located approximately 8km south west of the high-grade Daisy Milano underground mine operated by Silver Lake Resources (ASX: SLR), and central to three operating gold plants at Jubilee, St Ives and Randalls. Each of these plants is within 35km of HGH.

The Hang Glider Hill prospect is located close to the interpreted position of the regional scale Mt Monger Fault, along which (some 17km along strike to the south east) the Company continues to enhance the high-grade Lucky Strike prospect (Figure 2). HGH was recognised by the Company in early 2018 following the discovery of numerous gold nuggets (LEX:ASX 26 June 2018) and the definition of a north-westerly gold trend subsequently defined by surface sampling extending 2.3km from the original HGH nugget find.

ASX Announcement 29 November 2019

Drill Program

The primary focus of the diamond drill program was to provide information for a geological model to allow planning of future diamond, RC and aircore drilling. The prominent topographic feature, known as Hang Glider Hill, consists of a shallowly south dipping, strongly deformed sequence of interpreted metasediment, intermediate volcanics and ultramafics that is intruded by feldspar porphyry. This sequence is cross cut by later upright northerly trending quartz-carbonate veins. Gold nuggets have been found in close proximity to the Hill, and also up to 2km along strike (refer LEX:ASX release 27 September 2018), and are interpreted to be derived from a primary source.

==> picture [370 x 310] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3 Interpreted geological map of the Hang Glider Hill area and extent of LEX tenement package. Refer to Figure 4 for drilling inset map.

Three angled diamond holes were drilled on three drill sections spaced 80m apart. They were sited at the base of the south side of the hill (Figure 4) and evaluated 160m of strike. The first hole, 19HGDD001, was drilled to a depth of 258.6m. The rock sequence intersected guided the depths in the subsequent holes drilled on sections 80m either side. Diamond core drilling was commenced from surface for each hole to ensure collection of core through the shallow oxide (saprolite) zone (refer Figure 4).

Each of the holes intersected a similar geological sequence comprising a shallow oxide zone, and a strongly deformed or sheared zone. These are in contact with a lower, relatively undeformed sequence of biotite altered intermediate volcanic and sedimentary rocks, that includes black shale.

ASX Announcement 29 November 2019

The sheared zone comprises a highly deformed and altered mixed rock sequence that includes interpreted intermediate volcanic rocks, talc-altered ultramafic and feldspar porphyry over a downhole width of approximately 40m. This south flat dipping sheared sequence has a relatively sharp contact with the underlying relatively undeformed intermediate volcanic package and is interpreted to represent a thrust.

The shear zone is also characterised by later stage cross cutting, near vertical quartz veins (Figure 5). Visible gold (VG) was found in one of these quartz veins in hole 19HGDD001 (Figure 1).

The results from this early stage diamond drilling (Table 1) have confirmed gold mineralisation within the sheared and quartz veined rock package in hole 19HGDD001. The diamond holes 80m along strike either side of 19HGDD001 intersected a similar geological sequence but were not significantly mineralised.

Significant results returned from 19HGDD001 (Table 1) include: -

  • 6.8m @ 1.86g/t Au from 53.7m

  • 7.68m @ 0.66g/t Au from 44m (includes VG)

Discussion and Next Steps

The results from the three diamond drill holes have for the first time provided important geological and structural information at Hang Glider Hill that will assist in refining the geological model. In addition, the drilling has discovered a new geological setting that is gold mineralised.

The three diamond holes provide key geological information of the rock package in fresh rock (primary zone) and reinforce the gold prospectivity of the area. This information can now be placed in context with a number of other geological indicators that the Company has been acquiring and building upon since early 2018. In particular, these include the distribution and coincidence of gold nuggets with a gold anomaly defined from auger sampling over a 2km strike length north west from HGH.

The developing geological model and, in particular, the shear zone with cross-cutting gold mineralised quartz veins, provides the Company with a distinctive target horizon and opportunity to focus further exploration that will include drilling. The Company holds approximately 4km of the interpreted structure extending north west from HGH under granted title. A key target area for future drilling is at the north western nugget patch (refer Figure 6) where weathered rock outcrops display similar characteristics to that observed at HGH.

Planning of the next stage of drilling activity is underway. This will include auger drilling to both infill the existing grid, but also to extend to the north west into tenure (Figure 3) only granted this year. The auger drilling is expected to commence in the March quarter of 2020.

The Company has commenced a detailed geological mapping program focused along the trend. This work will incorporate assessment and inclusion of mapping conducted by previous exploration companies that were focused on nickel, including WMC and BHP during the 1970’s and 1980’s.

Integration of the results from the geological mapping, the auger drilling and incorporating knowledge from the recent diamond drilling will guide a focused drilling program along the 4km trend that will include a combination of air core, reverse circulation and diamond drilling.

ASX Announcement 29 November 2019

Background-Hang Glider Hill

HGH is located in the north west region of the Company’s Lefroy Gold Project (“LGP” or “Project”), approximately 50km to the south east of Kalgoorlie. It is part of the Eastern Lefroy package of tenements which covers 226km[2] . Tenements are wholly owned by LEX and not subject to any farm-in agreements.

The LGP is referenced in two packages i.e.

  • Eastern Lefroy covering 226km[2] of wholly owned tenements including Lucky Strike, Red Dale, Havelock, Hang Glider, Neon and other sub-projects along or adjacent to the regional Mt Monger fault; and

  • Western Lefroy JV tenements covering 372km[2 ] adjoining the St Ives gold camp that are subject to a Farmin and Joint Venture agreement with Gold Fields Limited (“Gold Fields”).

The Eastern Lefroy tenements are proximate to the regional Mt Monger Fault (Figure 2), which is considered to be structurally analogous to other major regional faults in the Kalgoorlie terrain (e.g. Boulder Lefroy Fault). The Company considers areas around the Mt Monger Fault to be prospective for large gold deposits and hence these areas are a major focus for exploration by the Company.

HGH has been the focus of reconnaissance stage exploration since early 2018 following the discovery of numerous gold nuggets (LEX:ASX 26 June 2018) and preliminary definition of a north-westerly trend extending 2.3km from the original HGH nugget find. The Company considers the gold nuggets (Figure 6) to be a surface geochemical anomaly.

In September 2018 the Company completed an early stage auger drilling program as an initial exploration search tool along the trend. A total of 266 samples were collected at 50m centres along 200m spaced east west lines that effectively cover approximately 2000m of strike.

The results of the sampling (ASX: LEX 6 November 2018) defined northern and southern zones of gold anomalism (plus 20ppb Au) around the interpreted position of the Mt Monger Fault. The zones are coincident with the locations of the discovered gold nuggets. The northern anomaly consists of three subparallel trends with a strike of up to 880m. The southern anomaly is centered about Hang Glider hill (a linear topographical feature) and is a coherent anomaly over a 680m strike length. The anomaly has four sample points exceeding 50ppb Au, with a peak of 82ppb.

The HGH trend is consistent with a north west trending sub-cropping sequence of deformed ultramafic, chert and metasediments that dip to the south west at approximately 50 degrees. The sequence is cross cut by quartz veins and intruded in isolated locations by feldspar porphyry.

JORC CODE, 2012 Edition-Table 1 Report –Lefroy Project –Hang Glider Hill Prospect October 2019 Diamond Drilling SECTION 1: 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 Diamond drilling (DD) at the Hang Glider Hill prospect.
The DD program comprised 3 angled holes for 581m. Holes
varying in depth from 150.1m to 258.6m with an average
depth of 194m. Holes 19HGDD001 and 19HGDD002 were
drilled at -500toward 0200and 0250azimuth with
19HGDD003 drilled at -550toward 0200azimuth. Holes were
drilled approximately 80m apart along a north-west strike.

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

DD was conducted utilising triple tube HQ sized core to
obtain the highest quality sample and to minimise core loss
through the saprolite before transitioning to NQ sized core
once the ground became competent. This was left to
drillers’ discretion. Core was collected in core trays where it
was marked up and logged by the supervising geologist. It
was noted the there was excellent core recovery and only
minor zones of core loss which were recorded by the
geologist. Samples were first cut in half using an Almonte
core saw and collected in calico bags with a minimum
sample width of 0.2m and a maximum 1.2m to produce a 2-
4kg sample through the interpreted mineralised zone. Once
at the lab samples were dried, crushed and prepared to
produce a 40g charge for fire assay analysis for gold (Au) 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 diamond drilling (DD) was completed by Raglan Drilling
(Kalgoorlie). HQ triple tube was used to preserve core
integrity and obtain accurate bottom of hole orientation
marks. Once the driller decided the ground was competent
enough, NQ sized core was used.
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.


Diamond core was measured and compared to drilled
interval indicated by the drillers. From this, a percentage of
recovery can be calculated. Recovery in oxide material
varied, however where core loss occurred this has been
diligently noted by the drill crew and geologist.

The use of professional and competent core drilling
contractors minimised the issues with sample recoveries. An
honest and open line of communication between the drill
crew and the geologist allowed for a comprehensive
understanding of where core loss may have occurred.

Core recovery in the oxide material was often excellent,
therefore,no significant bias is expected.
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, regolith, lithology, structure, veining,
alteration, mineralisation and recoveries recorded in each
hole by qualified geologist.

Every hole was logged for the entire length.

Diamond core underwent detailed logging through the
entire hole with data being transferred to the Lefroy drilling
database after capture

Analysis of rock type, colour, structure, alteration, veining
and geotechnical data were all routinely collected.

Geological logging is qualitative in nature and relies on the
geologist logging the hole to make assumptions of the core
character based on their experience and knowledge.

Recovery, RQD (rock quality designation) and magnetic
susceptibility measurements were recorded and are
considered to be quantitative in nature.

Core within the core trays for each hole was photographed
using a purpose made camera stand and a quality digital SLR
camera and stored in the database.

All drill holes were logged in their entirety (100%).
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
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.

Half core sampling was conducted with core cut using an
Almonte core saw.

Where a bottom of hole orientation line was drawn on the
core, this was also used as a guide to cutting the core,
ensuring that the same (right hand) side of core was
sampled. Where no orientation line existed, core was joined
up in the trays as accurately as possible and an interpreted
cut line was drawn on the core so that the same side of core
was consistently sampled.

Quarter core sampling was used for duplicate samples.
Duplicate samples were located at the Geologist’s
discretion, usually where mineralisation was interpreted.

Certified reference material (CRM) standards and blanks
were inserted at the geologist’s discretion on a roughly 1 in
20 sample bases.
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)
andprecision have been established.


Samples routinely analysed for gold using the 40gram Fire
Assay digest method with an AAS finish at Bureau 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 planned to twin prior drill holes.

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 DGPS operated by
a third-party contracting surveyor. The same contractor
was used once drilling was completed to pick-up collar
positions using a DGPS. Down holes surveys were completed
by Raglan drill crew using a multi-shot gyro which records a
survey every <5m down the hole.

Grid System – MGA94 Zone 51. Topographic elevation
captured byusingthe differential GPS.
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.

Hole spacing at approximately 80m spaced intervals

Mineralisation at Hang Glider Hill appears constrained to a
highly deformed felsic to intermediate volcanic which has
been extensively quartz-carbonate veined and biotite
altered. It is interpreted that this represents a thrust fault
zone. The orientation of which has initially been interpreted
to strike approximately north-west south-east, hence the
drill orientation, however this is early stage exploration and
geological interpretation is ongoing.

Due to the fact this is early stage exploration, the first drill

hole (19HGDD001) was sampled in its entirety. Sampling
obeyed standard sampling protocol with sample intervals
controlled by the min/max intervals and geological and
alteration boundaries. Reported assay results are
composited into an interval where samples >0.25g/t Au with
a maximum of 2m internal dilution are reported.
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 roughly North-East orientated drill traverses considered
effective to evaluate the roughly North-West trending
stratigraphy.
• The drill orientation is a more effective test of “true” width
of the host rock due to the fact the host rock unit is striking
roughly North-West/South-East.
• The holes represent the first significant exploration by
Lefroy Exploration in this area and were drilled primarily to
identify the geological characteristics of the prospect. The
holes were planned based on knowledge acquired from
previous explorers and outcrop mapping which suggested
the drill orientation would maximise the potential to
intersect geology and mineralising structures at an
orientation which was roughly perpendicular to their
orientation. Therefore reducing the sampling bias.
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 core photos and logging to correlate with
geology. QAQC reports are auto generated by the database
managers and reviewed bystaff.

Previous RAB and RC drilling was conducted by
Sovereign Resources NL in the early 1990’s. Most of
the work involved shallow RAB which identified gold
anomalous results on Hang Glider Hill. This was
followed up by deeper RC which confirmed the
presence of gold mineralisation in a highly foliated
felsic volcanic rock. Only early stage exploration was
conducted and since then has received no follow up
work. Details of this drilling sourced from WAMEX
item A39666 (Mineral exploration reports stored as
open-file reports by the Geological Survey of Western
Australian) were compiled by LEX and incorporated
into the Company’s database. Given the historical

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. Hang
Glider Hill is a topographic high thought to represent
a thrusted fault zone of felsic to intermediate
volcanic rocks in contact with Ultramafic and basaltic
volcanic rocks. Gold mineralisation is associated with
late quartz-carbonate veins within the thrust fault
zone in the felsic to intermediate volcanic rocks. The
prospect lies close to the GSWA’s position for the
regional Mt Monger fault with historic interpretation
of magnetic imagery suggesting the presence of a
roughly north-north-west strike fault referred to as
the Isles Fault (Sovereign Resources NL, 1993).
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’.
• No metal equivalent values or formulas used.
• Reported diamond drill results have been results have
been calculated using samples that vary in length from
0.2m to 1.2m but nominally 1.0m. No metal equivalent
values or formulas used.
• Where core loss is measured, a gold value of 0 ppm is
applied for the length weighted interval for which this
would apply and included in the intercept calculation
and would count in the internal dilution.
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 low angle thrust faults dipping toward the
south-west roughly discordant to the north-west strike
of the geological package. Mineralised intervals
represent a down-hole length as work on the
orientation of the mineralised veins is still on-going
and exploration is still in its infancy at Hang Glider Hill.
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 DD drill program.
• Drill holes with no significant results are reported.
• Significant assay results from historical drilling are not
included as much of the historic drilling was rotary air
blast (RAB) drilling and results cannot be appropriately
validated with confidence.
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.
