Lefroy Exploration Limited (“Lefroy” or “the Company”) (ASX: LEX) is pleased to announce that it has received all drill assay results from its resource infill and extensional drilling program at the Lucky Strike Gold Project (“Lucky Strike”), which contains an MRE of 1.27Mt @ 1.95g/t Au for 79,600 ounces (Indicated 0.70Mt @ 1.93g/t Au for 43,400 oz. Inferred 0.57Mt @ 1.97g/t Au for 36,200 oz).

LEFROY CEO, GRAEME GRIBBIN, COMMENTED:

“We are excited to see the Lucky Strike project is advancing on multiple fronts and encouraged that our recently completed RC drilling program has allowed us to refine and consolidate our understanding of the geological setting and gold resource.”

RC DRILLING PROGRAM RESULTS

A shallow reverse circulation (RC) drilling program comprising 71 holes for 3244m was completed on time and budget throughout March. Drill hole locations targeting both the proposed northern and southern optimised pit shells are depicted in Figure 1 below.

Additionally, the program aimed to target the easternmost mineral domains for possible extensions to the mineralisation system (zones that would otherwise have been sterilised by a future pit shell) with success in these endeavours potentially improving pit optimisations.

The drilling program was successful on three fronts:

  • Drilling validated the existing geological model, with minor edits made to the SIF geological interpretation; and

  • Mineralisation intervals from new drilling broadly correlated with existing resource envelopes, with some thicker accumulation identified within the eastern and central part of the resource; and

  • domains.

NORTHERN PIT

  • 17m @ 1.32 g/t Au from 34m (LEFR487), including 2m @ 5.67 g/t Au (from 44m)

  • 6m @ 3.07 g/t Au from 25m (LEFR447), including 2m @ 6.91 g/t Au (from 27m)

  • 7m @ 1.74 g/t Au from 21m (LEFR448), including 2m @ 4.93 g/t Au (from 23m); and

  • 3m @ 4.22 g/t Au from 44m (LEFR437), including 1m @ 9.70 g/t Au (from 44m)

Section A – A’ demonstrates the close relationship between the host SIF depicted as a blue trend line, and the orientation of mineralisation (represented as shaded red >0.5g/t Au resource domains), in Figure 2.

Numerous new drill intersections have highlighted the potential upside at Lucky Strike.

Notable examples included LEFR487, returning 17m @ 1.32 g/t Au (from 34m) with this interval considerably thicker than the current resource model at that given location (Figure 2).

Additionally, several drill holes reported mineralisation outside current resource domains, including LEFR436 returning 8m @ 0.99 g/t Au (from 21m) and LEFR437 returning 3m @ 4.22 g/t Au (from 44m).

SOUTHERN PIT

Drilling targeting the southern optimised pit shell was predominantly designed to test the upside potential east and west of the current resource model, again targeting the top 50m from surface.

NEXT STEPS

at Lucky Strike, and additionally, advised that toll milling negotiations were well advanced with further updates anticipated in the March quarter (refer ASX release 12 February 2025).

The Company advises that conversations are well advanced and a toll milling partner will be confirmed once a detailed schedule of works plan is finalised in April.

Stakeholder engagement is also well advanced with regards to securing haul road corridors in the vicinity of Lucky Strike. It is anticipated that following the execution of a toll milling agreement, BML will advance towards confirming a haulage contractor, to be likely completed in the June 2024 quarter.

ABOUT THE LUCKY STRIKE GOLD PROJECT

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

  • 22m @ 2.49g/t Au from 63m (LEFR152)

  • 3m @ 7.79g/t Au from 130m (LEFR190)

  • 11m @ 3.48g/t Au from 170m (LEFR216)

The mineral resource estimate at the Lucky Strike Project is located on a granted mining lease (M25/366) and is located 5km west of the Mt Monger Road and haulage corridor.

Additionally, Lucky Strike is proximal to established haulage corridors (Figure 3) and is within close trucking distance to numerous gold milling facilities within a 100km radius of the project area.

JORC 2012 Table 1 – Lucky Strike RC Drilling – March 2025 Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specifc
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
fre 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 Lucky Strike gold deposit. The program
comprised 71 RC holes for 3244m and ranged in depth from
30m to 96m. Holes were drilled on approximate 20m grid
spacing.

Sampling and QAQC protocols as per industry best practice.

Bulk RC samples were collected from the cyclone at 1m
intervals in green plastic bags and laid out in rows of 30m (30
samples) on the ground. 1m split samples were collected for
analysis directly of 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 fre assayed with gold
(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 drilling was completed by a 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.
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 fne/coarse material.

The majority of the samples collected from the RC drill
program were dry.

Sample recovery size and sample condition (dry, wet, moist)
visually inspected and recorded by the rig geologist and
sampler. Sample weights were manually checked to ensure
consistency.

Drilling with care (e.g. clearing hole at start of rod, regular
cyclone cleaning) if water encountered to reduce incidence
of sample contamination.

QC data does not indicate any grade bias due to sample
recovery issues.
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.

Detailed geological logging of drill chips for regolith,
lithology, structure, veining, alteration, mineralisation and
recoveries recorded in each hole by qualifed geologists. All
drill holes are logged in their entirety (100%).

Representative chips for the entire hole are collected in

plastic chip trays for future reference.

Capture of feld logging is electronic using Micromine
Geobank software. Data is then validated and exported
directly to the Company’s Geobank database.

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

Magnetic susceptibility measurements were recorded for
all samples.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether rifled, 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
feld 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 of a rig-
mounted cone splitter into separate pre-numbered calico
bags. The bags are then reconciled and collected by
company staf 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
Goldfelds.

Procedures are available to guide the selection of sample
material in the feld 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.
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), rifle 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 gold (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, feld
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.

Certifed standards and blanks were inserted on a regular
basis of 1 in 20 for standards and 1 in 50 for blanks.
Standards were certifed reference material prepared by

Field duplicates are collected within mineralised zones at a
frequency of approximately 1:100 samples and assessed for
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.

Data spacing and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is
suficient to establish the degree of geological
and grade continuity appropriate for the
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifcations applied.

Whether sample compositing has been
applied.

Hole spacing at Lucky Strike is approximately 20x20m.

Drill data spacing is suficient for mineral resource estimation.

No compositing has been applied to the raw 1m assay results.
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.

Mineralisation at the Lucky Strike deposit is preferentially
hosted by a magnetite altered sedimentary iron formation
(SIF) within a package of interbedded shales.

The SIF displays tight, almost isolclinal fold geometries that
dip approximately 70 degrees to the South-west in the central
zone of the deposit. The fold hinges plunge approximately 30
degrees towards 210 azimuth (South-East).

Drilling orientations are designed to be perpendicular to the
dominant trend of steeply south-west dipping mineralised
structures along the limbs of the folded SIF.

Drilling orientation is not considered to have introduced any
appreciable bias.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.

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

Samples are reconciled bythe laboratoryon receival and any

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
junction of three crustal units, the Parker, Boorara and
Bulong Domains. The area largely covered by a stripped
profle of alluvial, colluvial and lacustrine sediments with
very little outcrop.

The geology of the Luck Strike area is interpreted to be a
folded and thrust repeated sequence of mafc 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 Lucky Strike is preferentially hosted

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
within a deformed sedimentary iron formation (SIF) within a
thick package of turbiditic shales. The SIF is up to 20m thick
and consists of massive crystalline magnetite zones within
the shale package. This sequence appears to sit
conformably above the hyaloclastic textured fow top of the
mafc basalt.

Gold mineralisation is strongly efected by weathering with
depletion down to approximately 20m. Weathered saprolite
extends to 80-100m throughout the deposit and deepens to
the South.Mineralisation in the weathered saprolite profle
occurs as massive, cemented zones of secondary
gossanous limonite. Fresh rock mineralisation displays
quartz veining and pyrite replacement of the magnetite host
rock.

The SIF displays tight, almost isolclinal fold geometries that
dip approximately 70 degrees to the South-west in the
central zone of the deposit. The fold hinges plunge
approximately 30 degrees towards 210 azimuth (South-
East).

At least 3 North striking brittle faults are interpreted to ofset
the SIF host throughout the deposit. These faults are
considered to be the primary control on quartz veining and
sulphide replacement mineralisation.
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 justifed
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 signifcant
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 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-of 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.

All gold results are reported as length weighted down-hole
averages.

Signifcant 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-of, and including a maximum of 2m
internal dilution below cut-of.

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.

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY

The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.
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 efect (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 RC drilling method and limited structural data, the
geometry of the mineralisation reported is not suficiently
defnite to calculate true widths.

All holes have been designed to intersect perpendicular to
the targeted mineralised host sequence.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales)
and tabulations of intercepts should be
included for any signifcant 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.

Signifcant assay results are provided in Table 1 for the
recent RC drill program.

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

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

Signifcant assay results from historical drilling are noted in
the text and fgures 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.

No other material exploration data has been excluded.
Relevant discussion of the exploration data for the targets
tested in this program have been included in the body of 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 at Lucky Strike is currently being planned to
support future development studies, including groundwater
testing and additional metallurgical testwork.
