ASX RELEASE-4 February 2019

Extensional RC Drilling Program Commenced at Lucky Strike

Lefroy Exploration Limited (ASX: LEX) (“Lefroy” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise the market that a program of reverse circulation (RC) drilling is underway at the Lucky Strike prospect. The prospect is within the Eastern Lefroy tenement package (Figure 1), that is part of the wholly owned greater Lefroy Gold Project (LGP) located 50km to the south east of Kalgoorlie.

The LGP is referenced in two packages i.e.

  • Eastern Lefroy covering 226km[2] of wholly owned tenements (Figure 1) including Lucky Strike, Red Dale, Havelock, Hang Glider and other sub-projects along the Mt Monger fault, and

  • Western Lefroy JV tenements covering 372km[2 ] adjoining the St Ives gold camp (Figure 1) that are subject to a Joint Venture agreement with Gold Fields Limited (“Gold Fields”). Aircore drilling was recently commenced by Gold Fields on tenements covering Lake Lefroy

Lucky Strike

Lucky Strike is located approximately 5km south west of the Randalls Processing Plant operated by Silver Lake Resources (ASX: SLR). Gold mineralisation at Lucky Strike is hosted within multiple north west trending Banded Iron Formation (BIF) units.

Recent RC drilling by the Company at Lucky Strike (LEX:ASX release 7 January 2019) intersected multiple shallow oxide gold zones within hanging wall BIF units that are open along strike to the north west and down dip. Better intersections included 8m at 3.46g/t Au from 48m in LEFR087, and 7m at 1.5g/t Au from 20m in LEFR093 . That program also defined a new high-grade zone within sulphide altered lower BIF intersecting 12m @2.37g/t Au from 96m in LEFR098, including 3m @6.35g/t from 101m (Figure 4).

The Company has commenced a program of 22 (phase 1) angled RC holes totaling approximately 2100m to evaluate the continuity of the mineralised BIF units (Figure 3). This program will evaluate three key target areas (Refer Figure 4):-

  • a) Strike and down dip extensions to the shallow oxide hanging wall BIF

  • b) Strike and down dip extensions to the sulphide altered lower BIF unit

  • c) Footwall target zone-testing for additional BIF horizons between the lower BIF and the interpreted contact with the basalt.

Assay results from the program are expected to be announced in March and be incorporated into the delivery of an initial resource estimate in the June Quarter.
