INTRODUCTION

The Board of Lefroy Exploration Limited (ASX: LEX) (“Lefroy” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide its report on activities and progress made during the September 2017 Quarter. Lefroy is a gold focused exploration company taking a systematic conceptual approach at its flagship Lefroy Gold Project (Lefroy Project or LGP) located approximately 50km to the south east of Kalgoorlie in the Eastern Goldfields Province of Western Australia (Figure 1).

The Lefroy Gold Project is wholly owned by the Company and the commanding semi-contiguous granted land package covers 547km[2 ] located immediately east of the world class St Ives Gold camp, operated by Gold Fields and south of the high grade Mt Monger gold centre operated by Silver Lake Resources Limited (ASX:SLR). Four operating gold processing operations are strategically located within 50km’s of the project and provide commercial options.

Exploration during the quarter maintained the momentum and success achieved during the previous quarter with the continued focus on drilling at two emerging gold targets and geophysical activities as an early stage tool over the entire Lefroy Project. A total of 4,075m of early stage drilling was completed during the September quarter. This means that a total of 20,896m of drilling has been completed since the Company was relisted on 19 October 2016. The results from the September Quarter drilling continue to define and extend the geochemical footprint of the mineralisation at Red Dale and advance the mineralisation controls along the Lucky Strike trends. The Company’s aim over the next 6 months is to make a significant new gold discovery along at least one of the emerging mineralised trends in the LGP.

Lefroy also has 100% owned projects at Lake Johnston 120km to the west of Norseman, and the Murchison Project located between Cue and Big Bell in the Murchison Province, both in Western Australia. During the quarter the majority of the tenements in the Murchison Project were granted.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

Lefroy Gold Project (LEX 100%)

The Lefroy Gold Project (LGP) is located 50km’s to the south east of Kalgoorlie and consists of a large semi contiguous package of tenements that adjoin the Gold Fields Limited’s St Ives mining operation to the west and abut or are in close proximity to the Mt Monger gold operation tenements owned by Silver Lake Resources (Figure 1). The Company maintains it view that there is significant potential to enhance the existing gold mineralisation and also identify new mineralisation within the project area as demonstrated by the results from its drilling campaigns since November 2016.

The LGP covers a large belt of Archaean aged rocks that are transected by major structural trends interpreted by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA), previous explorers and researchers. The project is bounded by two major structures, the Boulder Lefroy to the west and the Mt Monger Fault to the east that are believed to have a major control on the geological architecture and gold mineralisation in the district. LEX is the first Company to amalgamate the tenement area under one ownership, compile previous (1980-2015 era) exploration data, acquire detailed geophysical data and conduct methodical, systematic and conceptually based exploration over the land package.

During the quarter the Company completed and received results for follow up drilling at Red Dale and along the Lucky Strike Trend. The positive results from each early stage program continues to enhance the potential for primary mineralisation at each area and the exploration approach continues to develop the geological model in the wider area, thereby giving the Company a key advantage in target selection.

Lucky Strike Trend

The Lucky Strike Trend is located approximately 2kms to the northwest of the high grade Lucky Bay open pit mined by Silver Lake Resources (ASX:SLR) during 2015 and 4km to the south west of the Randalls Processing Plant operated by SLR (Figure 2). The Company has interpreted from geophysical and geological data that the Lucky Strike Trend shares a similar geological and structural setting to Lucky Bay, being adjacent to the regional Mt Monger Fault that separates mafic units of the Bulong Antiform to the north and metasedimentary rocks to the south.

Reconnaissance early stage (wide spaced) air core drilling by the Company since November 2016 has defined a new and emerging gold mineralised trend hosted within sedimentary rocks over a 3,000m strike length. The geological sequence at Lucky Strike and the mineralisation intersected is considered similar to the Lucky Bay gold deposit located approximately 2kms along strike to the south east. There, gold mineralisation is hosted by a highly oxidised sedimentary iron formation within a sequence of black shale. It demonstrates the emergence of a 4.5kms gold mineralised trend from the Lucky Bay deposit to the northwest, along the Lucky Strike Trend, and coincident with the interpreted position of the Mt Monger Fault (Figures 2 & 3).

The key Lucky Strike air core gold intersections are also highlighted (refer to Figure 3 for detailed inset map and diamond drill sections)

The results from the two earlier aircore drill campaigns returned encouraging near surface oxide gold intersections from the nominal 160m spaced drill sections including:-

11m at 3.53g/t Au from 60m to End of Hole (EoH) in LEFA136

10m at 4.60g/t from 24m to EoH in LEFA171

6m at 2.77g/t Au from 52m in LEFA240

8m at 2.23g/t Au from 45m in LEFA254

During the Quarter an RC precollared diamond drilling program consisting of 6 holes for a total of 362.5m of diamond core drilling was completed to determine the geometry of the host rock and gold mineralisation adjacent to previous air core drill hole intersections and also to evaluate the depth extension of the mineralisation within fresh rock. The drilling evaluated three key sections (Figure 3) spaced approximately 1,000m apart along the 3,000m gold mineralised trend defined from the earlier air core drilling campaigns.

Drill hole LSRD006 returned significant multiple narrow high grade oxide gold intersections (Table 1). It was drilled to validate and confirm the geological interpretation on the northern most diamond drill section (Figures 3 & 4). The mineralised intervals correspond to a wide zone (approximately 25m down hole length) of highly oxidised Banded Iron Formation (BIF) and siltstone. Significant intersections from LSRD006 include:-

  • 5.8m at 4.0g/t Au from 25.6m (Inc. 0.4m at 18.6g/t Au)

  • 2.4m at 1.5g/t Au from 33.2m

1m at 12.3g/t Au from 40.7m

1.7m at 63g/t Au from 44.7m (Inc. 0.9m at 107g/t Au)

0.3m at 10.3g/t Au from 46.6m

The drilling has confirmed the earlier geological interpretation of a steeply dipping Banded Iron Formation (BIF) within a sequence of siltstone and black shale. Hole LSRD001 was designed to target the primary BIF below the base of weathering. The hole successfully intercepted >20m (down hole width) of altered BIF. No significant gold intersections were recorded in this broad interval and this may be in part due to high grade gold mineralisation located in structurally controlled high grade ore shoots either along strike or at depth.

Hole LSRD006 was sited midway between two mineralised air core holes (AC) LEFA 171 (10m at 4.6g/t Au from 24m) and LEFA 254 (8m at 2.23g/t Au from 45m) and intersected a highly oxidised and quartz veined BIF unit that has confirmed the earlier interpretation and enhances the mineralisation in the AC holes.

==> picture [415 x 317] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 4. Geological Cross Section A-A’, 6555770N section highlighting completed LSRD001 and LSRD006

No significant results were returned from the diamond drill holes LSRD002, 003, 004, 005 on Sections B-B’ and C-C’ despite the trace of these holes being adjacent to previous air core drill intersections. These early stage diamond drill sections are located at least 1,000m apart (Figure 3) and have provided valuable information to support and enhance the geological model along this new trend. Importantly, although a similar sequence of sedimentary rocks was intersected on each traverse, holes LSRD001&006 on section A-A’ show a stronger development of the prospective BIF horizon that was not intersected in other holes. Also of note is the extreme depth of weathering intersected in hole LSRD005, to a depth of 145m down hole that suggests strong oxidation of a deformed and altered rock. This supports the Company’s view that Lucky Strike Trend is a major structural corridor adjacent to the regional scale Mt Monger Fault.

The high grade gold mineralisation in LSRD006 is associated with a highly oxidised BIF unit bounded by black shale and siltstone. Quartz veining is a common feature of the BIF unit but is not strongly mineralised, and is not seen in the other diamond holes. The very high grade intersection of 0.9m at 107g/t Au in oxidised BIF in LSRD006 is interpreted to be due to weathered sulphides (Figure 5). The Company believes the geometry of the high grade mineralisation at Lucky Strike is possibly within quartz veined sulphidic ore shoots.

Figure 5 Core tray from Hole LSRD006 displaying highly oxidised BIF and high grade gold intersections (Core tray interval 43.1-48.2m)

To evaluate this model a nine hole program of close spaced (20mx20m) reverse circulation drilling is planned to test the strike extension and possible southerly plunge of the high grade intersection in LSRD006. This program is expected to commence in November.

Red Dale

The Red Dale Prospect adjoins (Figure 6), and is immediately north of the Randalls Processing Plant and Salt Creek Open pit held by Silver Lake Resources (ASX: SLR). Gold mineralisation was identified in 2007 by Integra Mines Limited (“Integra”) following on from their discovery of the Salt Creek deposit located 2.5km to the south of Red Dale. Integra’s aircore drilling at Red Dale during the period 2007-2010 identified a large regolith hosted gold anomaly of approximately 1.2kms in length by up to 1km in width.

Numerous gold intersections were reported at or near the base of the palaeochannel sediments (transported overburden), in gravel horizons overlying a similar package of rocks as at Salt Creek. The Company believes that this broad anomaly and the intersections are reflecting gold anomalous transported basal gravels and sands derived from a nearby bedrock source (primary bedrock), and that the coarse material in the channels is unlikely to have been transported a significant distance.

In May 2017 the Company completed 26 vertical RC holes at the southern end of the palaeochannel. This program recorded significant intersections including 9m at 1.69g/t Au from 41m in LEFR006 and 6m at 1.75g/t Au from 42m in LEFR013 to confirm a gold mineralised palaeochannel system over 320m of strike and open to the north and south.

Figure 6 Red Dale Prospect location plan highlighting maximum gold in historical drill holes and key intercepts (refer Figure 7 Inset for LEX recent drilling) from LEX May 2017 program.

In August a 62 hole vertical aircore drill program totaling 3,419m was completed at Red Dale to focus on the northernmost extension of the palaeochannel system (“the channel”), and to follow up a smaller tributary channel system to the west (Figures 6 & 7). The aim of the program was to evaluate and validate previous gold intersections in the channel to provide further vectors to a primary gold system that could be the source of the gold.

The program was drilled on a nominal 80m line by 40m centres pattern in the two areas (Figure 7) with holes ending at or near fresh rock. The drilling confirmed the broad quartz sand gravel base of channel system over a 720m strike length although gold results (Table 2) were of a lower tenor and width than that intersected in the May 2017 RC drill program located 300m to the south. Better intersections from the aircore program include:-

  • 1m at 1.30g/t Au from 44m in LEFA258

  • • 1m at 1.35g/t Au from 44m in LEFA268

  • 2m at 1.65g/t Au from 49m in LEFA282

  • • 1m at 2.31g/t Au from 45m in LEFA302 • 1m at 1.54g/t Au from 45m in LEFA303 • 8m at 0.60g/t Au from 44m in LEFA309 • 1m at 1.14g/t Au from 43m in LEFA315

Figure 7 Inset Map-Red Dale Prospect drill hole location plan highlighting area of August AC drill program and gold intercepts from LEX programs within the palaeochannel.

The drilling program has been successful in providing important information to guide advancing the geological model to provide vectors to the primary source of the gold in channel. The southern part of the channel has demonstrated high tenor and broader intersections of gold mineralisation at approximately the same vertical depth and this reinforce the Companys view that a primary source is nearby. Supporting this concept is the intersection of a quartz pyrite vein at the end of hole (53-54m) in LEFA 290, and below the mineralised palaeochannel. Although the gold results in this interval are not significant (<0.10g/t Au) this is the first intersection of a rock unit at Red Dale that could be part of a much wider zone of potentially mineralised quartz veining and or alteration within a dolerite host rock. This is an encouraging development and will be the focus of RC drill testing in November.

The Company considers the results from the recent drilling are positive and a program of RC drilling is planned to commence in November to evaluate the 240m strike length gap zone within the palaeochannel between the May RC and August AC drill programs.

The results from the two drilling programs, and with further exploration to commence in November has provided support for the Company to lodge a Mining Lease Application (MLA) over the key area of gold mineralisation at Red Dale (Figure 6). The application was lodged with a supporting mineralisation statement in August and is expected to be granted in mid2018. The Company believes this is an important step for the early development at Red Dale.

Other Activities

The Company continues to actively acquire and compile data over the Lefroy Project to add value and generate the next tier of drill targets. A key component of this compilation is the acquisition, merging and processing of previous detailed ground gravity surveys both within and near to the LGP. The processing and interrogation of this detailed gravity dataset is a first for the area and provides a key layer to interpret structural and lithological trends beneath the cover sequence. In particular, the images produced (Figure 8) from the processing of the detailed gravity data has provided the Company with a major dataset to interrogate and focus exploration.

At Coogee South, following on from the Heritage Survey completed last quarter which resulted in the work program being cleared for access, discussions were held with Government authorities to secure final access for drilling. The Company is actively pursuing and preparing supporting documents to pave the way for final clearance, with drilling scheduled for early 2018.

ASX Announcement

Lake Johnston Project (Gold and Nickel), Lefroy 100% of Gold and Nickel Rights

The Lake Johnston Project is located 120kms west of Norseman and comprises two exploration licences (E63/1722 & 1723) held under title by Lefroy and one exploration licence (E63/1777) held by Lithium Australia NL (ASX:LIT). These holdings form a cohesive package in excess of 300kms[2] over the Lake Johnston Greenstone Belt. Lefroy has acquired the gold and nickel rights to E63/1777 under a Tenement Rights Agreement.

The area is considered prospective for gold and nickel, with the tenement package covering the northern strike extension to the Maggie Hayes and Emily Anne nickel mines. The T1 nickel prospect, where previous drilling of geophysical (Ground EM) anomalies intersected sulphides in ultramafic rocks, lies along strike to the north of Emily Anne.

No field work was undertaken during the quarter

Murchison Gold Project, Lefroy 100%

The Murchison Gold Project comprises a portfolio of two Exploration Licences (EL’s) and eighteen Prospecting Licences (PL’s) covering 134km[2] to the west of Cue. This package includes one Exploration Licence located to the south and along strike from the Big Bell gold mine, and the other tenements form a contiguous package near to and adjoining the Cuddingwarra Mining Centre.

During the quarter the Company executed a Heritage Access Agreement with the Wajarri Yamatji Native Title claimants that resulted in the objections to grant being withdrawn by the latter and 14 tenements subsequently granted. The Company continued to advance alternative options to conduct exploration on the large prospective tenement holding given the focus and exploration success at the LGP. Initial discussions were held during the quarter with parties interested in acquiring the tenement package.

EXPLORATION OUTLOOK

The Company will maintain exploration activity in the December Quarter on the back of the encouraging and positive results returned from the drilling at the Lucky Strike Trend and Red Dale Prospect, and also accelerate exploration along the Woolibar Trend.

This work will again focus on drilling campaigns at the Lefroy Gold Project, with RC drilling scheduled to commence at Red Dale and Lucky Strike in early November, air core drilling at the LLT04 and LLT06 targets along the Woolibar Trend in Lake Lefroy and followed by diamond drilling at Zanex in late November.

Ground geophysical surveys have recently been initiated at three key areas at the Lefroy Project and will form:

  • a) the basis for an improved geological interpretation and target interrogation and ranking along the Woolibar Trend as a precursor for additional aircore and also diamond drilling later in the quarter

  • b) improved definition of the BIF horizon at Lucky Strike to aid RC drilling and

  • c) the initial back ground dataset to commence exploration at the Paddy’s Secret alluvial gold patch

The Company also continues to compile historical drilling information at the Lefroy Gold Project and add data to its growing master database. This data search includes sourcing information from non-digital archived reports, preparing to digital format and entering to the master database. In particular the focus will be on continued compilation of historical drill data along the Woolibar and Lucky Strike Trends.

CORPORATE

During the quarter the Company spent $0.66million on its operating activities of which $0.50million was attributed to direct exploration expenditure as noted in this report. Excluding any income the Company maintains a strong commitment to in ground expenditure, with 68% directed to exploration and evaluation in the September Quarter.

At 30 June 2017 the Company had cash reserves of approximately $2.4 million.

The Company released its 2017 Annual Report on 22 September 2017.

JORC CODE, 2012 Edition-Table 1 Report –Lefroy Project –Red Dale Prospect 25 October 2017 SECTION 1: SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA

SECTION1: 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 aircore (AC) drilling
at the Red Dale Prospect, south west of
the Daisy Milano gold mine. The AC
program comprised 62 vertical holes for
3,419m, holes varying in depth from 34-
80m with an average depth of 55m. Hole
spacing was a nominal 40m centres on
traverses located 80m apart.

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

AC samples were collected from the
cyclone at 1m intervals and laid out in
rows of 10 or 20m (10-20 samples) on the
ground. Composite 4m samples were then
collected by scoop sampling the 1m piles
with a flour scoop to produce a bulk 2-3kg
sample which was sent to the Laboratory
in Kalgoorlie for analysis. Samples were
dried, pulverised, split to produce a 40g
sample for analysis by fire assay with Au
determination
by
Atomic
Absorption
Spectrometry. Anomalous (assays >0.10g/t
Au) composite samples were resampled as
individual 1m samples and collected by the
same scoopsample technique.
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 AirCore (AC) drilling was completed by
Raglan Drilling (Kalgoorlie). The AC drill bit
has a diameter of 78mm and collects
samples through an inner tube to reduce
contamination, but also allows better
penetration through any palaeochannel
puggy clays and fine sands. Aircore drilling
is blade refusal and hence terminates in
fresh or hard material such asquartz
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 samples varied from dry in the upper
regolith
and
weathered/transitional
sequence to moist/wet in the clay and
sand/gravel lithologies. Diligent drilling
and ROP (Rate of Penetration) provided
generally reasonable sample recovery.
Sample
recovery
size
and
sample
condition (dry, wet, moist) recorded at
time of drilling.

Drilling with care (eg. clearing hole at start
of rod, regular cyclone cleaning) if water
encountered to reduce incidence of wet –
sticky sample and cross contamination.

Insufficient
sample
population
to
determine whether relationship exists
between sample recovery and grade. The
quality of the sample (wet, dry, low
recovery)was recorded duringlogging.
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.

Logging carried out by sieving composite
2m sample cuttings, washing in water and
the entire hole collected in plastic chip
trays for future reference.

Every hole was logged for the entire
length.
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.

No core drilling completed

Single metre or Composite samples of 2-
4m were collected by scoop sampling of
1m spoils off into pre-numbered calico
bags. Sample weight 2 - 3 kg. End of hole
(EOH) samples collected separately for
future petrology and whole rock analysis
studies. Collected samples bags placed in
labelled and numbered plastic and/or
polyweave bags for despatch to assay
laboratory.
• The sample preparation of the AC
samples follows industry best practice,
involving oven drying, pulverising, to
produce a homogenous sub sample for
analysis.
• Along with submitted samples, standards
and blanks were randomly inserted
(approximately every 40 samples) and
were included in the laboratory analysis.
Standards
were
certified
reference
material prepared by Geostats Pty Ltd.
Duplicate samples were collected at zones
of interest and at irregular intervals of
about 1 in everythree holes.
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.


Single metre and composite samples
routinely analysed for gold using the
40gram Fire Assay digest method with an
AAS finish at Bureau Veritas’s Kalgoorlie
Laboratory_(FA40A_AS) Bottom of Hole
(BOH) sample was also collected but is yet
to be analysed. This sample was carefully
selected and collected by the geologist to
represent near fresh (Saprock) rock at the
base of the hole and will be analysed for a
suite of elements.

No geophysical tools, spectrometers or
hand held XRF instruments used.

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 by
alternative company personnel and minor
sampling errors identified were field
checked and corrected.

No holes were twinned.

Capture of field logging is electronic using
Toughbook
hardware
and
Logchief
software. Logged data is then exported as
an excel spreadsheet to the Companys
external database managers which will be
loaded to the Company’s DATASHED
database and validation checks completed
to ensure data accuracy. Assay files are
received electronically from the laboratory
by the Managing Director, reviewed, sent
to data manager and filed to the
companys server.

There has been no adjustment to the
assay data. The primary Au field
reported by the laboratory is the value
used for plotting, interrogating and
reporting.
Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary

been applied.
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 East West orientated drill traverses
considered effective to evaluate the
northerly trending palaeochannel and
north
to
north-westerly
interpreted
bedrock structures of interest. The AC drill
holes were intended as follow up work to
assess previous explorers’ encouraging

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 >0.50gpt Au) drill holes are
included in the Table in the body of the
announcement.
• No Information has been excluded.
• Historical drill holes (mainly Integra origin)
were completed within the Red Dale
Prospect and these are depicted on the drill
hole plan and section in the announcement.

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 0.5gpt Au has been used to identify
significant results depicted on Figures in the
text. These are considered significant given
the first pass reconnaissance nature of the
drilling.

Table 1 in the body of the report presents all
individual composite results greater than
0.10g/t Au
• Reported AC results have been calculated
using a minimum intercept width of 1m.
Anomalous composite samples have been
resampled

No metal equivalent values or formulas
used.
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
relatively
flat-lying
palaeochannel gold trend and vertical drilling
is considered the most appropriate hole
angle to assess. Vertical holes were also
considered effective for testing for potential,
local bedrock dippingbedrock.
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
2 for the recent LEX AC drill program.
• Drill holes with no significant results are not
reported.
• Significant assay results from historical
drilling are noted in previous ASX reports on
the Red Dale Prospect
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 will
consist of RC Drilling, as noted in the main
body of the report.
