ASX RELEASE-25 May 2021

Burns Continues to Grow – depth continuity for original

mineralisation; porphyry widening; new mineralised zone

  • The third and deepest diamond hole at Burns to date, LEFRD267, has been completed. LEFRD267 was collared 65m west of LEFD004 to evaluate the host porphyry rocks vertically below the mineralisation found in LEFD004 and OBURCD025.

  • Drilling found

  • A 246m interval of the Eastern Porphyry interleaved with basalt from 244m to 490m downhole, followed by massive basalt to EOH at 522.5m

  • The Eastern Porphyry contains multiple altered and mineralised intervals of porphyry and basalt totalling 102m, including:

    • A 72m interval that contains magnetite and sulphide veining (photo below) from 244.4m to 316.5m in the expected position based on the mineralisation found in LEFR260

    • A new 31m zone of porphyry and basalt hosted mineralisation from 430m to 461m

  • The DD program at Burns has now:

  • confirmed the vertical depth continuity of altered and mineralised porphyry at least 100m below the 37m zone of Au/Cu mineralisation in LEFR 260 ( 38m @ 7.63g/t Au & 0.56% Cu from 134m),

  • expanded the Eastern Porphyry body to over 140m true width

  • established the broadening with depth of the altered and mineralised zone on the western side of the porphyry, and

  • discovered a new mineralised interval on the east side of the porphyry body

  • A fourth diamond drill hole, LEFRD268, is now underway to evaluate the Eastern Porphyry a further 60m vertically under hole LEFRD267. The hole will extend the existing diamond hole from 330.8m to an estimated final depth of 560m and will be the deepest hole yet to be completed at Burns by the Company.

  • Assays from holes LEFD004, OBURCD025 and LEFRD267 are expected in late June.

ASX Announcement 25 May 2021

Lefroy Exploration Limited (ASX: LEX) (“Lefroy” or “the Company”) is pleased to report a further update to the current 3000m diamond drilling program evaluating the Burns copper (Cu) gold (Au) prospect. Burns is within the Eastern Lefroy tenement package, which is part of the wholly owned greater Lefroy Gold Project (LGP) located 50km south east of Kalgoorlie (Figure 1).

The Burns copper gold prospect is situated on the eastern margin of a large interpreted felsic intrusion, termed the Burns Intrusion. The intrusion does not outcrop but features a distinctive annular aeromagnetic and gravity geophysical signature.

Broad high-grade gold mineralisation is hosted within a newly discovered hematite-pyritechalcopyrite-magnetite altered porphyry (refer LEX ASX release 23 February 2021). This porphyry, termed the Eastern Porphyry, is open to the north and south and its eastern extent is unknown (Figure 2). The mineralisation is open at depth (Figure 3). The copper and gold mineralisation hosted by both porphyry and basalt is considered by the Company to be a new style of mineralisation in the area, a land position dominated by Lefroy (Figure 1).

Discussion

A fourteen-hole diamond drill program commenced on 20 April 2021 to evaluate the Eastern Porphyry over a 200m strike length on 40m spaced drill sections (Figure 2). The first hole of the program (LEFD004) was completed on 3 May 2020. That hole was designed to twin and extend past the high-grade interval found in LEFR260 to determine the width of the Eastern Porphyry (Figure 3). Details of that drill hole were reported to the ASX on 3 May 2020.

The host Eastern Porphyry was intersected in LEFD004 from 117m to 304.5m, a down hole interval of 187.5m. The porphyry was interpreted to have a near vertical dip and an estimated true width of approximately 110m bounded by basalt to the west and east (Figure 3). That hole confirmed three distinct variations of the host diorite porphyry were observed in this interval and are interpreted as multi-phase intrusive events.

Details of the second hole of the program, OBURCD025, were reported to the ASX on 13 May 2021. The diamond drill hole commenced at 40m down a pre-existing RC hole and terminated at 396.6m downhole. The collar of that hole is located 35m to the west of LEFD004 and provided further important information to highlight the dimensions and constraints to the porphyry and the sulphide mineralisation on this baseline (0N) section (Figure 3). A 189m interval of the Eastern Porphyry was intersected from 179m, that also includes two narrow intervals of altered basalt (refer Table 2 for detail). The hole terminated in chlorite biotite altered basalt.

Multiple broad (10m-20m) zones of alteration and mineralisation where intersected in the porphyry in OBURCD025 from 201m to 291m and documented in the LEX ASX release dated 13 May 2021. The observations of the mineralisation in OBURCD025 supported the Company’s interpretation that the strength of the Burns Cu-Au mineral system maybe increasing with depth that triggered the decision to adjust the drill program and bring forward the extension of hole LEFR267 (Figure 3).

RC drill Hole LEFR267 was part of the maiden Burns drill program completed in January 2021 and collared approximately 68m west of LEFR260. The hole was terminated in porphyry at 244m, unaware at the time that this was the commencement of the Eastern Porphyry. The diamond drill extension to LEFR267 terminated at 522.5m down hole, 80m deeper than proposed and is currently the deepest Lefroy drill hole at Burns.

The diamond extension (LEFRD267) intersected a 246m interval of the Eastern Porphyry from 244m downhole. The interval included multiple intervals of basalt up to 25m in length, some of which were deformed, carbonate veined and contain sulphides (chalcopyrite). This is the broadest downhole interval of the Eastern Porphyry intersected at Burns, and although includes intervals of basalt it suggests the porphyry body is becoming wider with depth.

Multiple broad zones of alteration and mineralisation were intersected in the Eastern Porphyry and also basalt in LEFRD267 with key intervals being:

ASX Announcement 25 May 2021

  • 244.4m-253m, an 8.6m interval down dip of the mineralisation in OBURC025 This interval contains strong red rock and magnetite altered diorite porphyry. With disseminated chalcopyrite (Cp)-magnetite-actinolite veinlets (2-3% Cp).

  • 260m-273m, a 13m interval of strong hematite (red rock) altered porphyry and pervasive vuggy open space. Partly filled with Gypsum-magnesite-chalcopyrite. Strong disseminated 2-3% Cp.

  • 273m-297.7m, a 24.7m interval consisting of strong red rock altered porphyry with 1% disseminated Chalcopyrite-Pyrite and trace magnetite stringer veins

  • 310.5m-316.5m, a 6m zone of intense red rock and magnetite alteration. Epidote magnetite stringer veins with blebs of Cp (Figure 8). Open space gypsum/magnesite/Cp +-molybdenite veins. 2 specks visible gold at 311.8m.

  • 430m-460.88m, a new broad 31m zone of basalt and porphyry with moderate epidote alteration and an estimated 2% disseminated/stringer pyrite.

Photographs of selected examples of core within the broader intervals are shown below (Figures 4 to 9). These are not the only mineralised zones but examples to highlight the style of the chalcopyrite mineralisation in the host altered porphyry and basalt.

Importantly, geological observations in this hole provide further support to the interpretation that the red rock (hematite) and magnetite-sulphide (pyrite, chalcopyrite) over prints each of the three variants of the host diorite porphyry and at this early stage is considered a final event in the paragenesis of the system (refer Figures 4 to 9).

Further, the observations from hole LEFRD267 support the Company’s view that the tenor of alteration and mineralisation in the porphyry is broadening with depth in addition to the new mineralisation in the basalt intervals when compared with observations in OBURCD025. The new 31m interval from 430m is located close to the eastern boundary of the porphyry (Figure 3). The zone may represent an outer pyrite dominant mineralisation assemblage to the system.

Based on this interpretation and the encouragement of the observations in hole LEFRD267, the Company decided to adjust the drill program and bring forward the extension of hole LEFR268. The hole depth is planned to be 560m deep (Figure 3). The RC hole was originally extended in February 2021 as a diamond hole (tail) and terminated in porphyry at 330.8m.

The hole will test the depth extension to the host eastern porphyry and mineralisation a further 60m vertically beneath that observed in LEFRD267. This will provide additional important constraints to the system to approximately 320m from surface and provide the baseline geological and assay results to support evaluation of the system on step out sections to the north and south.

ASX Announcement 25 May 2021

An estimated 3000m of diamond drilling is planned in this diamond drill program. Drilling continues to be undertaken using one drill rig on a single shift, but planning is underway to commence double shift to accelerate the program. The 14-hole program is live and allows for flexibility to adjust holes (Figure 2), hole depths and priority dependent on the geology intersected in completed holes. The position of the Eastern Porphyry also gives scope for the Company to utilise older RC holes as pre collars.

The geological observations derived from each diamond hole that is completed will support and or refine the Burns geological model to provide further guidance to this Cu-Au-Ag mineral system and drill target selection.

Assay results for hole LEFRD267 are expected in late June.

JORC CODE, 2012 Edition-Table 1 Report –Lefroy Project –Burns Cu-Au Prospect May 2021 Diamond drilling program 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.
No sampling has yet been carried out
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). The hole LEFRD267 was commenced using at
40m using HQ sized core. NQ sized core was primarily used
when the drill core recovery became more competent.
Accurate bottom of hole orientation marks were captured
usingan Ace tool.
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 by a field assistant and
compared to drilled interval indicated by the drillers. From
this, a percentage of recovery can be calculated. 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.
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.

The hole LEWFR267 was logged for the entire length.

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

Analysis of rock type, colour, structure, alteration,
mineralisation, 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.
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary

All drill holes are logged in their entirety (100%).
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.
DD

The drill core is yet to be sampled
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.


The drill core is yet to be sampled and assayed
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.

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.

No assaydata to report
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 GPS operated by
the rig geologist/field assistant. The RC hole collar was
surveyed by a DGPS by a third-party contractor. 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 by using the differential GPS.
Data spacing and
distribution
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 approximately 40m spaced intervals

Mineralisation at the Burns prospect is primarily hosted by a
magnetite-biotite altered High Mg basalt which has been
intruded by a later felsic to intermediate porphyry intrusion.
The contacts of which are not uniform however the
intrusion appears to be roughly vertical. Mineralisation is
predominantly Cu plus Au. There is an association between
Cu and Au mineralisation but they can occur independently
of one another. There is a strong upgrade of Cu and Au in
the supergene environment approximately 50-100m down-
hole and this is typically flat in its orientation. A primary
system (hypogene) occurs in the fresh rock below 100m
depth and at this stage the orientation and main controls on
mineralisation is not known. It is thought that the
mineralisation maydiptoward the west-south-west and
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
plunge toward the south-east, hence the drill orientation
toward the east.
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 east-west orientated drill traverses considered
effective to evaluate the roughly north-south to north-west
south-east 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.
• At this stage the primary controls on the hypogene copper-
gold (Cu-Au) system are not completely understood,
however analysis of previous drilling in conjunction with this
drilling have determined the drill hole orientation is
optimum to determine the true width of mineralisation and
improve geological knowledge of the system.
Sample security • The measures taken to ensure sample
security.

Samples are yet to be collected
Audits or reviews • The results of any audits or reviews of

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 its wholly owned subsidiary Monger
Exploration Pty Ltd. The work described in this report was
completed on Exploration lease E 15/1715.

E 15/1715 is held 100% by Monger Exploration Pty Ltd a
wholly owned subsidiary of Lefroy Exploration Limited
• The tenements are 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.
• 1968-1973 BHP: The earliest recognition of the magnetic
anomaly was by BHP. The area fell within TR 3697, which
had been taken up for nickel. The anomaly stood out on the
BMR aeromagnetic contoured plans and BHP was testing
aeromagnetic anomalies that could have an ultramafic
source. The anomaly was confirmed by ground magnetics
but an attempt to drill test with two percussion holes failed
to identify any bedrock and no further work was attempted.
• 1984 Coopers Resources/Enterprise Gold Mines: The ground
encompassing Burns was taken up as three Els, E15/19-21.
• 1985 BHP: BHP farmed into E15/21 having re-interpreted
the magnetic feature as a potential carbonatite. BHP’s
E15/57 covered the western one third of the anomaly.
Following ground magnetic traverses, BHP drilled two
diamond core holes, LR 1 and 2. LR 1 falls within Goldfields
E15/1638 and LR 2 falls within P15/6397. The results, which
are covered in the next section, did not indicate a
carbonatite and so BHP withdrew their interest in the area.
• 1985-1989
CRAE:
Meanwhile
CRAE
was
conducting
exploration for gold on adjacent tenements and had
engaged Jack Hallberg to carry out geological mapping. He
mapped suites of intermediate dykes (plagioclase-quartz-
hornblende porphyry) intruding basalt in outcrops to the
north west of Burns.
• 1992: M. Della Costa took up E15/304 over aeromagnetic
anomalies including Burns. The EL was vended into Kanowna
Consolidated Gold Mines as part of the St Alvano project.
• 1996-2001 WMC: WMC joint-ventured into the St Alvano
project, which comprised a total of 12 ELs. They flew 50m
line-spaced aeromagnetics and engaged EHW to interpret.
Burns was not highlighted as such but the magnetic
anomalies forming portions of the annular ring were tested
with air core, leading to the discovery of the Neon prospect.
Subsequent to the EHW study a gravity survey was
conducted which did identify the Burns intrusive as a gravity
low.
• 2001-2003 Goldfields: Goldfields took over exploration and
conducted further air core drilling at Neon. They identified
S11 as a target to the south of Burns. The target was
secondary gold dispersion in weathered bedrock associated
with magnetite enrichment. A series of north-south air core
traverses were drilled on 640 X 160m. Results were
regarded as disappointing and the project was dropped.
• 2005-2008 Gladiator Resources: The area was taken up by
Sovereign following their assessment of previous work.
They identified Homer’s Inlet and the S11 area as priority
targets. In 2007 a JV was established with Newmont/Sipa
covering the gold rights. In 2008 the southern and eastern
sectors of W15/774 was surrendered and taken up as
E15/1030. The northern sector including Burns was
surrendered.

• 2008 Gold Attire: The ground surrendered by Sovereign over
Burns was taken up as E15/1097.
• 2008-2010 Newmont: Newmont joint ventured into the
Sovereign and Gold Attire ELs. It conducted an 800 X 400m
gravity survey to trace a north-south “Salt Creek-Lucky Bay”
corridor through the tenements. This was tested by four
lines of aircore on 640 X 160m spacing. Two aircore
traverses on a 1200 X 320m spacing were also and
conducted across the interpreted intrusion and the
surrounding magnetic halo. Infill drilling was conducted
following up on the 2.0m @ 5.0 g/t Au intercept in a
Goldfields hole, SAL 1089. The hole was re-entered and a
diamond core tail drilled. This hole falls just inside E15/1638
close to the boundary with P15/6397.
• 2010-2019 Octagonal Resources: Three phases of AC to
define a gold in regolith anomaly east of the main intrusive
body. Two phases of RC identified Ag-Cu-Au mineralisation
on four sections spaced approx. 40m apart. The drilling
recognised Cu mineralisation which due to the host rock
association, Octagonal believed there was potential for a
much larger intrusion related system so the emphasis was
switched
from
orogenic
gold
style
exploration
to
predominately copper focussed intrusion related hosted
mineralisation. In 2013 surface geophysical techniques were
applied looking for conductors that might represent massive
sulphides. Ground EM failed to identify any bedrock
conductors, but the magnetic surveys did identify anomalies.
In 2014, a diamond core hole, OBUDD001, was drilled at -60
degrees to 090 east to 401.5m in order to test the source of
the magnetic anomalism, which occurred within the area
tested by the RC drilling. It intersected a 3.6m wide zone of
mafic-dominant
breccia
including
0.9m
of
massive
magnetite-chalcopyrite which returned 4.5 g/t Au, 2.6% Cu
from 256.4m, within a low-grade zone of 55.95m @ 0.5 g/t
Au and 0.2% Cu from 229.85m It was interpreted to be a
west-dipping structure and the feeder conduit for the
mineralization. A second zone of low-grade mineralization of
38.5m @ 0.5 g/t Au and 0.2% Cu was intersected from
184.5m. An EIS grant in 2015 and a loan from a third-party
company allowed for two more DD holes to be completed,
however by 2016 the Company was acquired by the third-
party loan company and subsequently delisted from the
ASX.
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.
Burns is proximal to the Lake margin and is subsequently under
>20-25m of lake sediment and surface sand dune cover. A
stripped profile below this cover means that there is no
significant dispersion or oxide component to the Burns
prospect. Mineralisation is hosted with a High Mg Basalt and in
an intermediate composition porphyry which intrudes the
basalt. Mineralisation is primarily gold associated with
magnetite alteration and copper occurring as native copper and
chalcopyrite in veins and veinlets throughout the basalt and
porphyry.
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
• Table containing drill hole collar details are included in the
Table in the body of the announcement.
• No Information has been excluded.
• Table 1 of drill hole collars completed by Lefroy is noted in
this announcement.
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
• 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.
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.

No assay data to report for the hole LEFRD267 just
completed or LEFRD268 that is in progress
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 historical results are based on down-hole metres.

Previous drill coverage has provided guidance for the
presence of steeply dipping geology comprising a package
of rocks containing basalt intruded by diorite porphyry.
The data from this and modelling of prior ground magnetic
data provides support for orientation of the drilling.
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 (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.
• No assay data to report from hole LEFRD267
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 diamond drill program is ongoing.
