Havelock and Lucky Strike.

ASX: LEX

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Expansion of mineralised gold corridor at Havelock confirmed with significant assays returned including:

  • 5m @ 4.22 g/t Au from 145m, including 1m @ 12.6 g/t Au from 146m in LEFR404.

  • 7m @ 2.04 g/t Au from 37m, including 3m @ 4.39 g/t Au from 37m in LEFR406.

  • 6m @ 1.29 g/t Au from 60m, including 2m @ 3.20 g/t Au from 62m in LEFR418.

  • The Havelock mineralisation corridor now defined along a strike extending greater than 750m and remains open to the northwest and southeast.

  • Expanded mineralisation at Lucky Strike and southern Lucky Strike trend.

  • 5m @ 1.86 g/t Au from 157m, including 1m @ 5.7 g/t Au from 160m in LEFR411.

  • 10m @ 1.14 g/t Au from 82m, including 6m @ 1.65 g/t Au from 83m in LEFR414.

  • The Company is planning a regional aircore drilling campaign across the broader Havelock – Lucky Strike District and will include drilling in the highly prospective Location 45, freehold ground that has not received systematic Au exploration since 2007.

Lefroy Exploration Limited (“Lefroy” or “the Company”) (ASX:LEX) is pleased to announce the results from its Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling campaign targeting the Havelock and Lucky Strike gold targets, which commenced in April 2024.

LEFROY CEO GRAEME GRIBBIN COMMENTED:

“The results provide further confirmation of previous geological modelling conducted by Lefroy after drilling campaigns in 2020 and 2022 across the prospective Lucky Strike and Havelock corridors.

“We are extremely encouraged by the similarities to Lucky Strike interpreted at Havelock, which Lefroy views as an emerging gold corridor with mineralisation now identified along a 750m strike zone, with clear room to extend.

“Coupled with our extensive regional aircore drilling campaign planned for late June, we will continue to unlock the potential of the surrounding district to host numerous gold centres and expanding our existing gold resource base.”

LUCKY STRIKE - HAVELOCK DISTRICT

The Lucky Strike – Havelock District straddles the regionally significant Mt Monger Fault, which is a primary control to gold mineralisation in the broader Kalgoorlie terrain. The district extends from Lucky Strike west to Erinmore and incorporates significantly underexplored corridors which are prospective for banded iron formation (BIF) hosted gold mineralisation (Figure 1).

Historic exploration of the BIF trends was limited to broad-spaced, shallow aircore (AC) drilling and previous exploration activity by LEX included the following results.

At Havelock, highly anomalous intersections were recorded in 2022 (refer ASX announce release 7 July 2022):

  • 3m @ 13.37 g/t Au from 118m in LEFR330.

  • 13m @ 1.82 g/t Au from 76m in LEFR331, including 7m @ 2.69/t Au from 78m.

  • • 7m @ 1.48 g/t Au from 38m in LEFR326, including 2m @ 2.78/t Au from 41m.

At Lucky Strike, drilling activity last conducted by the Company (up to 2020) found several significant highgrade gold intersections within 150m (vertical depth) from surface (refer ASX announcement 26 February 2020) including:

  • 8m @ 18.66 g/t Au from 145m, including 5m @ 28.1g/t Au from 145m in LEFR217.

  • 22m @ 2.49 g/t Au from 63m in LEFR152.

  • 3m @ 7.79 g/t Au from 130m in LEFR190.

  • 11m @ 3.48 g/t Au from 170m in LEFR216.

LATEST DRILL PROGRAM SUMMARY

The recently completed RC drilling programs at Havelock and Lucky Strike were drilled to follow up significant anomalies identified by the Company from 2017 to 2022.

Sixteen holes were completed for 2,566m. Seven of the holes (for 898m) investigated the potential for continuation of gold mineralisation at Havelock, with the remaining holes targeting the Lucky Strike resource and surrounding anomalous earlier results along strike to the south (Figures 2 and 6).

EMERGING GOLD CORRIDOR AT HAVELOCK

The completed drilling program at Havelock has now extended previously identified gold mineralisation both down-dip and along strike from historical intersections, with the system remaining open along strike to the northwest and southeast (Figure 2).

Drillhole LEFR404, targeting 30m down-dip of LEFR330 (3m @ 13.37 g/t Au) successfully extended mineralisation (Figure 3 – Section A - A¹), returning intersections of:

  • 2m @ 3.62 g/t Au from 133m; and

  • 5m @ 4.22 g/t Au from 145m including 1m @ 12.6 g/t Au from 146m.

Additionally, a drill hole step-out 40m along strike to the northwest (LEFR406) further confirmed the prospectivity at Havelock, returning:

  • 7m @ 2.04 g/t Au from 37m including 3m @ 4.09 g/t Au from 37m.

Drill holes LEFR408 and LEFR409 (which stepped out a further 120m to the north of LEFR406) failed to reach the designed target depth due to the RC hammer bogging in deep regolith clays. This location will be redrilled in a subsequent program.

==> picture [595 x 83] intentionally omitted <==

Targeting an area 1.5km south of the main Havelock prospect, drillhole LEFR418 was designed to follow up anomalism from an historical aircore intersection of 6m @ 1.1 g/t Au from 48m.

This was confirmed with mineralisation extending down-dip (Figures 4 and 6) returning a significant intersection of:

  • 6m @ 1.29 g/t Au from 60m including 2m @ 3.20 g/t Au from 62m.

The Company is encouraged by these early shallow drillhole successes demonstrated at Havelock.

Coupled with previous historical aircore (AC) intersections along strike to the northwest (2m @ 2.8 g/t Au from 17m in LEFA901) and the southeast (4m @ 0.69 g/t Au from 32m in LEFA813), the Havelock prospect represents an emerging anomalous gold corridor that now extends 750m along strike.

LUCKY STRIKE

At Lucky Strike, nine drill holes (for 1,668m) were completed. These were designed to test for extensions to the Lucky Strike deposit and to determine the existence and extent of any mineralization associated with several aircore anomalies along strike towards the southwest.

==> picture [502 x 236] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5: Lucky Strike Long Section (refer to Figure 6 for plan location) and significant results (yellow boxes).

Drillhole LEFR411 retuned the most notable results, targeting the margins of the existing deposit, and intersected a zone of:

  • 5m @ 1.86 g/t Au from 157m, including 1m @ 5.70 g/t Au from 160m in LEFR411.

High-grade mineralisation at Lucky Strike is concentrated around the hinge of a tight fold within the host BIF unit and plunges shallowly to the south (Figure 5). LEFR412A targeted the down-plunge extension of the high-grade core intersected in LEFR217 (8m @ 18.66 g/t Au from 145m) but deviated and drilled underneath the target zone. A follow-up drill hole will be designed to test this interpreted corridor, as the system remains open down plunge.

As with Havelock, the broader Lucky Strike trend south of the main Lucky Strike deposit has historically only been tested predominantly with shallow air core drilling. An additional three RC drill holes were therefore designed to target two key anomalies to the south of Lucky Strike.

LEFR414, located approximately 1km southeast of Lucky Strike returned a broad shallow intersection:

  • 10m @ 1.14 g/t Au from 82m, including 6m @ 1.65 g/t Au from 83m in LEFR414.

This intersection demonstrates the potential for the Lucky Strike Trend to host multiple repeat centres of mineralisation.

Follow up drilling, primarily as part of an upcoming regional aircore drilling program (see below) will be performed to further define the extent of this promising mineralisation occurrence.

REGIONAL AIRCORE PROGRAM

The Company recognises that the Erinmore and Havelock trends, coupled with the southern Lucky Strike Trend, represent greater than 15km of underexplored strike length within banded iron formation (BIF) host rocks which are considered highly prospective for additional gold discoveries (refer ASX release 27 March 2024) and (Figure 1).

In order to properly assess the mineralisation potential of this district, the Company is planning a regional aircore drilling program, with activities anticipated to commence by the end of June.

In conjunction with the aircore program across the BIF hosted targets, the Company will also embark on an aircore program within its recently acquired Location 45 project.

LEFROYEX.COM | ASX:LEX

==> picture [595 x 83] intentionally omitted <==

The Company has identified numerous targets across the entire Location 45 freehold property considered prospective for gold mineralisation, including the broader Mt Martin area, Wren and several structural targets to the southeast.

Host to the Mt Martin gold deposit, with a resource of 8.7Mt @ 1.79 g/t Au for 501,175 oz (refer to ASX release 5 September 2023), the Location 45 freehold property is located in the world class Kalgoorlie–Kambalda district and has received minimal modern exploration for gold.

JORC 2012 Table 1 – Havelock and Lucky Strike RC 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.

Sampling has been carried out using Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling at the Havelock and Lucky
Strike gold prospects. The program comprised sixteen RC holes for 2566m and varied in depth from
30m to 246m. Holes were drilled on approximate 40m line spacing with holes at 40m centres. Step-
out holes were drilled up to 1.5km along strike from existing drilling. All holes were drilled at -60 dip
toward 030 azimuth (North-East).

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

Bulk RC samples were collected from the cyclone at 1m intervals in plastic buckets and laid out in
rows of 30m (30 samples) on the ground. 1m split samples were collected for analysis directly off
the rig mounted cone splitter into numbered calico bags. The sample collected generally weighed
2-3kg.

All samples were delivered to the Bureau Veritas laboratory in Kalgoorlie where they were dried,
crushed to 95% passing 3 mm if required. At this point large samples may be split using a rotary
splitter to a sub 3kg subsample.

Samples are then pulverised to 95% passing 75 μm and a 40g charge from the primary pulp was fire
assayed 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) was completed by an\ truck mounted RC rig from Raglan Drilling
(Kalgoorlie). Low air face sampling hammer drilling proved satisfactory to penetrate the regolith
and reduce contamination risk.

RC Drilling was completed using a 143mm diameter drill bit.

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
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 RC drill program were dry. Any wet samples were
collected in a hessian bag or placed in a small hand dug hole in the ground within the sample site.

Sample recovery size and sample condition (dry, wet, moist) visually inspected and recorded by the
rig geologist and sampler. Recovery of samples estimated to be 80-100%, with some variability to
recovery particularly drilling through moist transported clays-gravels.

Drilling with care (e.g. clearing hole at start of rod, regular cyclone cleaning) if water encountered to
reduce incidence of wet –sticky sample and cross contamination.
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 for regolith, lithology, structure, veining, alteration, mineralisation
and recoveries recorded in each hole by qualified geologist.

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

Logging carried out by sieving 1m sample cuttings, washing in water and representative chips for
the entire hole collected in plastic chip trays for future reference.

Chip trays for each hole were photographed using a purpose made camera stand and a quality
digital SLR camera and stored in the database.

Magnetic susceptibility measurements were recorded for the entire length of the hole and are
considered to be qualitative in nature.

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.

No core drilling was completed

RC samples are collected at 1m intervals directly off a rig-mounted cone splitter into separate pre-
numbered calico bags. The bags are then reconciled and collected by company staff for
submission to the laboratory.

Upon delivery to the laboratory, the sample numbers are checked against the sample submission
sheet. Sample numbers are recorded and tracked by the laboratory using electronic coding.

Sample preparation techniques are considered appropriate for the style of mineralisation being
tested for - this technique is industry standard across the Eastern Goldfields.

Procedures are available to guide the selection of sample material in the field and supervised by
the rig geologist. Standard procedures are used for all process within the laboratory.

The 2-3kg sample sizes are considered appropriate for the material sampled.

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
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.

Only nationally accredited laboratories are used for the analysis of the samples collected.

The laboratory oven dries, jaw crushes, and if necessary (if the sample is >3kg), riffle split the
sample and then pulverise the entire 3kg sample in a ring mill to a nominal 90% passing 75
microns.

All RC samples are analysed for total Au via Fire Assay, which involves 40g charge (sub-sampled
after the pulverisation) of the analytical pulp being fused at 10500c for 45 minutes with litharge.
The resultant metal prill is digested in Aqua regia and the gold content determined by atomic
adsorption spectrometry (AAS) - detection limit is 0.01 ppm Au.

No geophysical tools were used.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) samples are routinely submitted and comprise
standards, blanks, field duplicates, lab duplicates and repeat analyses. The results for these
QA/QC samples are routinely checked by the Exploration Manager with any discrepancies dealt
with in conjunction with the laboratory prior to the analytical data being imported into the
database.

Certified standards and blanks were inserted on a regular basis of 1 in 20 for standards and 1 in 100
for blanks. Standards were certified reference material prepared by Geostats Pty Ltd.

Field duplicates are collected within mineralised zones at a frequency of approximately 1:100
samples and analysed for significant variance to primary results.

The analytical techniques used are considered appropriate for the style of mineralisation being
tested for and analysis of QC data indicates acceptable levels of accuracy and precision in the
analytical results.
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 xml document to the Company’s external database managers which is
then loaded to the Company’s Datashed database. Validation checks are completed to ensure
data accuracy. Assay files are received electronically from the laboratory and field 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) is the priority value used for
plotting, interrogating, and reporting.

The results have been reviewed by alternative company personnel and any sampling errors
identified were field checked and corrected.

No holes were twinned

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
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 by the rig geologist/field assistant using a handheld Garmin GPS
with a horizontal (Easting Northing) accuracy of +-5m. The final RC collar was later surveyed by a
DGPS by a third-party survey contractor.

Drill azimuth is set up by the supervising geologist.

Down hole surveys were completed by Raglan drill crew using a multi shot gyro which records a
survey 5m downhole.

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.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Hole spacing at Havelock and Lucky Strike is approximately 40x40m.

Mineralisation at the Havelock and Lucky Strike prospects are primarily hosted in quartz veining and
magnetite-sulphide altered siltstone/shale. Contacts appear to dip shallowly to the South-West.

Gold mineralisation is both supergene and hypogene. At this stage, the orientation and structural
controls on the mineralisation are not known. Geological contacts of the host lithologies dip toward
the south-west, hence the drill orientation toward the north-east.

Drill data spacing is not yet sufficient for mineral resource estimation.

No compositinghas been applied to assayresults.
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.

Drilling orientations are designed to be as perpendicular to the known mineralised structures as
possible are considered effective to evaluate the north-westerly trending geology and regional
parallel structures.

This RC drilling is reconnaissance in nature, with limited surrounding drillholes, and the orientation
of the gold mineralised structures intersected is yet to be confirmed.

It is not considered that drilling orientation has introduced any appreciable sampling bias.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample security.

Samples are delivered by field staff directly from the drill rig to the independent laboratory
contractor. Samples are stored securely until they leave site.

Samples are reconciled by the laboratory on receival and any discrepancies with the submission
paperwork are validated by company staff before sample processing commences. Following
analysis the primary sample pulps and residues are retained by the laboratory in a secure storage
yard.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and
data.

All sampling and analytical results are reviewed by the Exploration Manager and CEO. Anomalous
gold intersections are validated against chip trays and logging data.

QAQC reports are routinely generated and reviewed by staff.

No external audits or reviews have been completed.

Section 2: Reporting of Exploration Results

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
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 50km in a south-easterly direction 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 Mining Lease M 25/366 and Exploration Leases E
26/182 and E 26/183.

The tenements are held 100% by Monger Exploration Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of LEX.

The tenements are current and in good standing with the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and
Safety (DMIRS) of Western Australia.
Exploration
done by other
parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.

For Full details of exploration completed by other parties at the Lefroy Project refer to the Independent
Geologists Report (‘IGR’) attached to the LEX prospectus (2016). Previous work on, or adjacent to, the
Lucky Strike, Red Dale West, Salt Creek West, Havelock and Hang Glider Hill anomalies area were
completed by Solomon (Australia) Pty Ltd, Ramsgate Resources NL, WMC Ltd, Eagle Bay Resources, Titan
Resources Ltd, Integra Mining Limited, Octagonal Resources and Silver Lake Resources Ltd. ( Refer Table 1
in the body of the LEX ASX release dated 9-November 2017 report for WAMEX reference numbers)
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.

The geology of the Havelock / Luck Strike area is interpreted to be a folded and thrust repeated sequence
of mafic pillow basalts and carbonaceous shales at the western limb of the Bulong Anticline. The rocks are
geochemically equivalent to the regionally extensive Paringa Basalt and lower Black Flag sediments.

Gold mineralisation at Havelock / Lucky Strike is localised in a deformed sedimentary iron formation (SIF)
with quartz veins with disseminated pyrite. Mineralisation in the weathered saprolite profile occurs as
massive, cemented zones of secondary gossanous limonite. The SIF is up to 20m thick and consists of
massive crystalline magnetite zones within the lower part of the carbonaceous shale and sandstone
package. This sequence appears to sit conformably above the hyaloclastic textured flow top of the mafic
basalt.

The key structural element around Havelock / Lucky Strike is the north-west trending Mt Monger Fault
separating the mafic lithologies of the Bulong domain to the north, from the metasediments of the Mt
Belches sequence to the south-east.

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
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:
o
Easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o
Elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
o
Dip and azimuth of the hole
o
Down hole length and interception depth
o
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.

Tables containing drill hole collar, survey, and significant gold intersections are included in Table 1 and
Table 2 in the body of the announcement.

No material information has been excluded.

Historical drill holes within the Havelock and Lucky Strike Prospects that are depicted on the drill hole plan
in the announcement and cross-referenced to previous disclosure.
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 gold results are reported as length weighted down-hole averages.

Significant results were reported using a minimum intersection length of 2m at greater than 0.5g/t Au using
a 0.25g/t Au lower cut-off, and including a maximum of 2m internal dilution below cut-off.

Where an intersection incorporates short lengths of high grade results these intersections are reported in
addition to the aggregate value.

No metal equivalent values are used for reporting.
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’).

True widths are not reported. All results are based on length weighted down-hole metres.

Given the reconnaissance nature of the drilling the geometry of the mineralisation reported is not
sufficiently constrained to calculate true widths.

All holes have been designed to intersect perpendicular to the targeted mineralisation.

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) and cross sections are included in this 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.

Both high-grade and lower grade intersections for all drill holes are represented diagrammatically in the
figures and the accompanying table of results.

Significant intercepts greater than 0.5g/t Au are reported in Tables 1 and 2. Holes with no significant
intersections are highlighted but individual assays are not reported.

Significant assay results from historical drilling are noted in the text and figures in 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.

Other relevant exploration data for the targets tested in this field program have been included in this
announcement
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 underway and noted in the body of the report.

Further drilling to test for extensions to the identified mineralisation at Havelock and Lucky Strike is
currently being planned.
