Management Comment - Managing Director, Dan Power, said:
“The Koonenberry Gold team is extremely excited to add these highly prospective assets to our gold and copper exploration portfolio.
The Enmore Gold Project is located only 20km south of Larvotto Resources’ Au-Sb Mine (ASX:LRV) and shares similar geology and prospectivity. The Enmore Gold Project has some exciting historical highgrade gold assays in drilling, rock chips and underground workings with clear targets, a well understood geological model and a near-term opportunity to rapidly advance with drilling.
The Lachlan Projects include strategic landholdings in the Lachlan Fold Belt with early-stage results across multiple targets. In addition, the Junee Project, in Joint Venture with a subsidiary of Newmont Corporation, has seen a significant amount of work already completed and is 20% free carried. Encouraging early-stage drill results point to porphyry Cu/Au discovery potential.
With a concurrent capital raising, supported by Lion Selection Group, Lowell Resources Fund as well as our existing and new shareholders, the Company will be in a very strong position to fund its planned activities. We believe this portfolio of 100% owned and free carried projects are extremely value accretive for shareholders and have outstanding potential to yield a significant discovery.

SUMMARY OF ENMORE GOLD PROJECT
The Enmore Gold Project (EL8479) covers an area of 134km[2] and is located in New England Fold Belt (NEFB) in NE NSW approximately 30km from the town of Armidale and only 20km south of the Hillgrove Au-Sb Mine (1.7Moz Au). In addition to Hillgrove, the NEFB hosts several large deposits including the Ravenswood Mine (8Moz Au), Mt Morgan Mine (7.7Moz Au, 0.36Mt Cu) and Cracow (2.5Moz Au). [(1)] Despite its clear prospectivity and total endowment of +35Moz Au, the NEFB remains underexplored and the NSW segment of the belt considerably more so than the QLD segment.
Note that references to nearby or proximate discoveries do not in any way guarantee that the Company will have any or similar successes in delineating a Mineral Resource. Refer to disclaimer on page 17.
Gold mineralisation at Enmore is orogenic in style and structurally controlled along three major NE trending structures. The hydrothermal system was long-lived with two vein types observed:
-
An early relatively low grade ductile silicified and sulfidic lode style mineralisation constrained within and generally parallel to mylonite zones formed on the major NE trending structures.
-
A later and higher-grade mineralisation event associated with britle deformation in dilational and rheologically controlled shoots often oblique to the mylonite zones. Gold occurrences associated with later event generally have a higher proportion of free gold and significantly higher gold grades than the lode style structures.

SUMMARY OF LACHLAN PROJECTS
The Lachlan Fold Belt is home to major deposits such as Newmont’s 51Moz Au, 9.9Mt Cu Cadia Mine, Evolution Mining’s 13Moz Au Cowal Mine and 5.2Moz Au, 4.4Mt Cu North Parkes Mine. [(2)] With a combined endowment of +88Moz Au + Cu the Belt is considered world class. The Lachlan Projects comprise 10 EL’s that are considered highly prospective for Porphyry Cu/Au, Epithermal Au and Orogenic Au systems. Combined, the Lachlan Projects cover an area of 1,766km[2] , giving the Company a commanding land position to rival major and junior exploration companies alike.

SUMMARY OF KOONENBERRY PROJECT
The Koonenberry Belt is a frontier Terrane prospective for Orogenic gold, VMS Cu-Au-Pb-Zn-Ag and Magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE systems. Traceable for over 225km, the Koonenberry Fault has acted as a longlived deep crustal structure that has tapped metal source rocks and acted as a conduit for mineralised fluids. The Koonenberry Fault has numerous associated splays, second order faults/thrusts and associated folds and is believed to be critical for concentrating these fluids and depositing metals within trap sites and dilatant zones.
The Koonenberry Belt has been largely under-explored due to its remoteness, with past exploration efforts considered to have been largely ineffective. In recent years however, the belt has been heavily pegged by various explorers who have recognised the enormous prospectivity of the belt to host significant Tier 1 deposits. Modern exploration techniques are being applied for the first time at a belt and prospect scale and are likely to increase the probability of discovery.
The majority of the 2,510km[2] Koonenberry Gold Project is considered highly prospective for Orogenic Gold. With abundant evidence of gold mineralisation in multiple bedrock sources, a pipeline of emerging targets and a +200km[2] gold nugget field, the source of which has not yet been identified, the Company believes it has the potential to discover significant gold deposits.
Furthermore, along the western margin of the Project a sequence of sedimentary rocks and volcanics can be traced to the south where other explorers have demonstrated recent success in applying electrical geophysical techniques that have resulted in the discovery of high grade Cu-dominant VMS systems (G11 Resources Ltd, ASX announcement dated 4 June 2024 “High Grade Copper Intercepts at Wilandra Central.” e.g. 9m @ 2.66% Cu from 310m, inc. 6m @ 3.46% Cu from 311m)[3] . The newly acquired EL to the west of the Koonenberry Project is considered highly prospective for magmatic CuNi deposits with geology and tectonic setting akin to the Albany Fraser belt which hosts the world class Nova-Bollinger Cu-Ni deposit.

FORWARD PROGRAM
Enmore Gold Project
The Company sees a potential rapid assessment of the Enmore Gold Project with drilling planned in the near future at Sunnyside to test high grade shoot potential. Additional work will involve the relogging and resampling of historical drill-core, additional surface sampling and potentially electrical geophysics to focus additional drilling.
Lachlan Projects
The Company is currently prioritizing multiple pre-defined targets and prospects contained across the large tenement portfolio of managed Lachlan Projects to advance to drill ready status. The results of this work will determine the next steps, which will likely include reconnaissance field work, geochemical surveys, additional geophysical work and drilling. In addition, the Junee and Fairholme Projects continue to be managed, explored and funded by Newmont Exploration through farm-in and joint venture arrangements.
Koonenberry Project
At Atlantis, the Company is planning to conduct additional surface geophysical Electromagnetic (EM) work to help target further drilling. The survey will cover a much larger area of prospective stratigraphy than had previously been surveyed (4,000m strike vs 600m previously).
At Bellagio, a high impact drilling program has been designed to test the recently identified Central Gold Zone which is 50m wide and runs approximately parallel to existing drilling. Drilling will be conducted along N-S oriented traverses and will test for down-dip/down plunge continuity of the gold mineralisation.
In addition, the Company awaits approvals for drill testing of several targets which have recently been identified along the Royal Oak fault which is known to control the gold mineralisation at Bellagio.

|---|---|---|
| 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. |
Recent Drilling (Okapi Resources Ltd in 2021-22) Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling was used to obtain 1m samples from which 2-5kg was split off the rig and sent to ALS Laboratories in Orange, NSW. Samples greater than 3kg were riffle split at the lab, prior to pulverising. Diamond drilling was used to obtain core which was cut lengthways in half according to core orientation lines (where available). Samples were pulverised to 85% passing 75 microns. Historical Drilling No references witnessed to historic sampling techniques or procedures for drilling, trenching or channel sampling for Silver City Minerals Ltd, Getty Oil Development Company, Warren Jay Holdings Pty Ltd or Zedex Minerals Ltd. No value-add technologies were reported to have been used on drilling samples. No photographs of drillcore or percussion samples have been located except for certain select ranges of Zedex diamond and percussion drilling. No details found on historical rock chip, channel chip or soil sampling procedures. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
Recent Drilling RC Drill cuttings were collected over one metre intervals using a rig mounted rotary cone splitter Where possible, the same side of the diamond half core was submitted for assay. Historical Drilling Sample size ranges are as described: Getty Oil generally sampled at 1m intervals over the whole hole. Holes BSD6 & BSD7 were sampled at 2m intervals, reducing to 1m in areas of interest. Rarely sampling was conducted at 0.5m intervals. Zedex drilling was generally sampled at 1m intervals on a selective sampled based on presence or significant alteration and veining. Sample lengths ranged nominallyup |

| to 1.5m, and there are only 4 samples of >1.5m length (max 3.1m). Minimum sample size ranged down to 10cm. |
||
| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. |
Determination of recent and historical mineralisation was assumed to be through appropriate geological logging of samples by the geologist responsible. |
|
| 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. |
Industry standard sampling procedures were completed in the recent drilling and are assumed in the historical drilling but have not yet been confirmed. Photographs of Zedex percussion drill sites evidence that samples were collected through a cyclone, but sample reduction and compositing methods are unknown. Coarse and refractory gold issues throughout the Project are sufficient to warrant check sampling with fire assay techniques. Evidence of fire assay check sampling has been found for all operators. Getty and Zedex appear to have resubmitted all results >1.0g/t Au for fire assay. Warren Jay Holdings appears to have employed check sampling on a more random basis and over a wider range ofgoldgrade results. |
|
| 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). |
Recent Drilling RC drilling completed by BG Drilling using a track mounted Han Jin 16D rig with separate air compressor (Doosan 1050 FM) and using 3.5” rods and 5 7/8” face sampling hammer Diamond drilling completed using HQ core, triple tube Historical Drilling Diamond drilling total of 29 holes for 3,899.2m. 4 holes for ~305m by Silver City Minerals Pty Ltd in 1974. Details not available. 9 holes for 1,599.5m by Getty Oil Development Company in 1983-84 by Getty Oil Development Company. HQ precollar reducing to NQ. No references found to oriented core. 16 holes for 1,994.7m by Zedex Minerals Limited in 2004-06 using a UDR650 track mounted rig. Core diameter not referenced. No references found to oriented core or evidence of orientations in core photos. Percussion drilling by Getty is not clearlyreferenced, though |

Recent Drilling Geologist on site monitored and recorded RC sample recoveries to ensure the samples were representative. Each core run is recorded in diamond drilling as end of run depth, drilled metres, recovered metres. Triple tube drilling undertaken to maximise core recovery in broken zones. Historical Drilling Diamond Drilling: Silver City: Originals of this work not found. No reference to sampling procedures found. Getty: Core recovery visually estimated. Recoveries were generally 100% but do dip periodically, showing it was faithfully recorded. Recovery dips to 40% at high grade intersection in BSD5, though there has been no mention of potential impact on grade. Zedex drill logs have not been witnessed. Method of recording recoveries is unknown at this time. RC & Percussion: No firm details were found on percussion sampling procedure. Getty mentioned strict sampling procedures. Warren Jay Holdings referred to early termination of some holes when water was intercepted. Channel Sampling: Getty sampled costeans along the major structures. No details have been found.

| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
No measures to ensure representivity were reported from historical drilling. |
|
| 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. |
No study has been undertaken to ascertain any sample recovery or bias 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. |
No Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies or metallurgical studies have been conducted at this stage. Recent Drilling RC drill holes were geologically logged on 1m intervals and in sufficient detail to support descriptions of rock types and mineralisation. All core is geologically logged with lithologies, alteration, mineralisation, veining and structures recorded. Historical Drilling Silver City: no details available. Getty: All drilling logged qualitatively in handwritten descriptions grouped by domains, with quantitative assessment of sulfide and quartz content. No geotechnical logging. Zedex & Warren Jay Holdings: Drill logs have not been witnessed at this time. Lithologies have not been witnessed in drill databases at this time. References in reports indicate drilling was logged. |
| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. |
Geological logging was qualitative in nature. |
|
| The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
The entire length of all recent and historical holes (the ones with records)were logged. |

| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. |
Recent Drilling Core was cut using a diamond saw and half core was sent for assay. Historical Drilling No photographs of drill core or percussion samples have been located except for certain select ranges of Zedex diamond and percussion drilling. Photographs of Zedex core evidence that core was sawn and half core sent for analysis. |

| For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
Recent drilling samples are pulverised at ALS to a QC size specification of 85% <75μm. No references have been found to sampling preparation for historical results. |
|
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. |
Pulverised samples are rotary split using a Boyd Rotary Splitter in the recent drilling. No references have been found for sub-sampling methods for historical results. |
|
| 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. |
Duplicates were inserted every 20m for recent drilling No references have been found for QAQC methods for historical results |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Sample size for recent drilling is appropriate. No references have been found for sample sizes for historical results. |
|
| 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. |
Recent Drilling Assays were sent to ALS Orange\Brisbane which is an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ISO9001:2015 certified laboratory. All samples were analysed using a 30g Fire Assay with a AAS finish. (Au- AA25). The nature of the laboratory assay sampling techniques is considered ‘industry standard’ and appropriate. Historical Drilling Getty: submitted drill samples for analysis to COMLABS Pty Ltd, a NATA certified lab, analysing Au by AAS and As by XRF. Zedex submitted drill samples for analysis to ALS Brisbane. Analysed by Au-TL43 (Aqua regia, ICPMS finish, Trace level Au, 25g), then by Au-OG43 where Au>1g/t (Aqua regia, ICPMS finish, Intermediate grade level, 25g).

No geophysical, spectral or handheld XRF tools have been reported being used on samples or core. |
|
| Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
In recent drilling standards and blanks were incorporated into each sample batch at 20m intervals No references found for Sample quality, sample interval, sample number and QA/QC inserts (standards, duplicates, blanks) for historical sampling. |
|
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. |
Recent and historical significant intersections/results in this ASX Release have been verified from the source data by the Competent Person. |
| The use of twinned holes. |
One recent hole OSSRC03 (abandoned at 54m) twinned historic hole SS9. Zedex twinned Getty hole BSD5 with hole GRB8. |
|
| Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. |
Data at the rig from recent drilling was collected on paper and later digitised. No documentation of primary data procedures from historical drilling has been identified. All available historical raw data is publicly available data. |
|
| Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
No adjustments have been made to the assaydata. |
|
| 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. |
Recent Drilling All recent drill holes were sited with a standard Garmin GPS with an Easting and Northing accuracy of approximately +/- 5m and then collars surveyed with a DGPS. Down hole surveys measured using a Reflex single shot instrument. Historical Drilling Silver Valley: No mention of survey control. Silver Valley owned a mining lease and may have surveyed back to ML boundaries. Accuracy is unknown. Topographic control not referenced.

Grids were constructed in key prospect areas so can assume at minimum there was a consistent locational and topographic control for drilling through the local surveyed grid. Accuracy assumed to be ±20m. Warren Jay Holdings: No details of datum, survey or topographic control have been witnessed yet. Zedex: post-drilling collar survey using high resolution professional surveying,Datum AGD84. |
||
| Specification of the grid system used. |
The grid system used is Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) GDA94 MGA Zone 56 for recent drilling and historical drilling has been converted to thisgrid. |
|
| Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
Some of the historical drilling was professionally surveyed and these collars were used for topographic control. |
|
| Data spacing and distribution | Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. |
Recent Drilling Recent drilling spacing varied depending on the target, but no resource is being reported. Historical Drilling Data spacing is sufficient to establish general continuity of lode style mineralisation along primary structures. Spacing is not currently sufficient or consistent enough to establish continuity of mineralisation on high-grade shoot style reefs (no structural logging has been witnessed or referenced). |
| 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. |
No Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve have been estimated. |
|
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
No compositing of assay data has 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. |
Recent Drilling Two RC drillholes (OSSRC05 and OSSRC06) were oriented sub- parallel to the interpreted Sunnyside East strike direction. (northeast trend). This may introduce a sampling bias, producing mineralised intervals more broad in apparent thickness. The rationale was to intersect cross-cutting North- South structures. It remains unclear which direction is the most ideal for drilling. Historical Drilling Getty Oil holes at Bora were drilled |

| targeting the NE trending regional structures. The program established that the target high-grade mineralisation was on a cross- structure at 35° to the original target. Four diamond and five percussion holes consequently missed the target. Holes that did intercept target are at low angle to the sympathetically dipping reef. True orientation of the structure (which may be en echelon reefs) is unknown so materiality of drill angle is currently unknown. Zedex drillholes are drilled at higher and more optimal angle to the apparent mineralised structure at Bora. Most driling outside Bora seems to have been optimized for NE trending, generally NW dipping lode structures. Angle of drilling to higher grade mineralised structures at these otherprospects is unclear. |
||
| 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. |
Drill testing is too early stage to determine if the drilling orientation has introduced a sampling bias. |
|
| Sample security | The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
Samples from the Recent Drilling were hand delivered to the laboratory in Orange by the geologist conducting the program therefore no 3rd party handled the samples. No references have been found to procedures for sample security for the historical samples |

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Previous exploration has been conducted by Silver Valley (1974) with Diamond drilling. Getty Oil (1983-84). DD and percussion drilling. Mapping, surface sampling. Good systematic investigative work. Getty concluded the lateral and width dimensions (of the old mine workings) were limited and would not deliver their target of ± 5Mt @ 3g/t (482k oz) Au open- pittable and withdrew. Significant drill intercepts (especially BSD5) were not adequately followed-up. Costean and soil sampling was effective at locating exposed mineralisation at a coarse scale. IP surveying demonstrated potential of electrical geophysical methods on this mineralisation style. Warren Jay Holdings (1996-97) drilled 143 holes, at an average depth of 22m testing for open pittable oxide resources. This work defined the oxide mineralisation potential at Sunnyside, but has not contributed more to definition of mineral potential or underground extraction potential elsewhere on the Property. Zedex Minerals Ltd (for Providence Gold & Minerals Pty Ltd) drilled 16 diamond holes at an average 124m depth. Many the holes were partially sampled, including in positions where structures were interpreted to intersect. Additional possible commercial commodities (W & Sb) have not been analysed. Vectoring is not possible with available data. Providence Gold and Minerals Pty Ltd, formerly Warren Jay Holdings Pty Ltd (1994-2022), have completed extensive soil sampling to identify extensive mineral potential along the major and subsidiary structures, as well as an aeromagnetic survey, trenching and underground channel sampling. A program of 8 RC holes for 976m was completed in 2021 and 7 Diamond holes for 1,440.1m were completed in 2022 testing the Sunnyside Prospect under the ownershipof Okapi Resources Ltd. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting, and style of mineralisation. |
The Enmore Gold Project is structurally controlled orogenic Au ± Sb, hosted in the New England Orogen on three major crustal NE trending structures, 20km SSW from Hillgrove Au-Sb Mine. The hydrothermal system was long-lived through tectonic compression & uplift. Two mineralisation styles are broadlydescribed: |

| An early relatively low grade ductile silicified and sulfidic lode style mineralisation constrained within and generally parallel to mylonite zones formed on the major NE trending structures. A later and higher-grade mineralisation associated with brittle deformation in dilational and rheologically controlled shoots often oblique to but constrained within the mylonite zones. Gold is present both as free gold and in solution with pyrite and possibly arsenopyrite in varying proportions. Gold occurrences associated with late dilational events generally have a higher proportion of free gold and significantly higher gold grades than the lode style structures. Enmore mineral occurrences are strongly analogous to Hillgrove. |

| 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. |
Available data for the majority of the historical holes at the Enmore Property are poorly recorded. The historic drilling is not currently considered material on this basis beyond indication of the mineral potential of the field Relevant completed drill hole details are presented in Tables Drillhole and channel sampling information is utilized as indicative reference only to the potential of the Prospect. |
| 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. |
No information has been excluded from this release to the best of Koonenberry Gold’s knowledge. |
|
| Data aggregation methods | In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g., cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
Standard length weighting averaging techniques were used for recent and historical significant intersection calculations. No Top Cuts were used. |
| 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 aggregate drill intercepts are length weighted and internal dilution applicable is stated below the table. |
|
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No metal equivalent values have been reported. |
|
| These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
Information and knowledge of the mineralised systems are inadequate to estimate true widths at this stage. |

| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. |
Recent Drilling The geometry at Sunnyside is not properly defined at this stage. Two RC drillholes (OSSRC05 and OSSRC06) were oriented sub-parallel to the interpreted Sunnyside East strike direction (northeast trend). This may introduce a sampling bias, producing mineralised intervals more broad in apparent thickness. The rationale was to intersect cross-cutting North- South structures. It remains unclear which direction is the most ideal for drilling. Historical Drilling Bora: Holes drilled pre-2004 are interpreted to be drilled largely at low angle sub-parallel to the shoot style mineralisation, and post-2004 drillholes moderate-high angle. Intercept widths do not appear to vary markedly, indicating more controls involved. All holes are currently considered to be down hole length, true width not known. The Bora shoot itself is moderate angle (35°) to the host lode structure. Sunnyside, Sherwood, et al: Holes appear to be largely targeted orthogonal to main lode structure, while shoot style mineralisation can be high or low angle to the lode structure. |
| If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g., ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
Down hole lengths are reported |
|
| 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 maps, sections, and tables for new results have been included. |
| 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. |
Not all sample assay data has been included in this report as it is not considered material beyond the representatively reported high- and low-grade results presented in the main body of this ASX Release. Gold results reported range from <0.001g/t to 62.1g/t Au. |
| 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, |
These Projects includes exploration data collected by previous companies. Much of this data has been captured and validated in a GIS database. |

APPENDIX 2. JORC CODE TABLE 1 Checklist of Assessment and Reporting Criteria – Lachlan Projects
Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary |
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary |
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. |
No references witnessed to historic sampling techniques or procedures for drilling or rock chip sampling. Recent Diamond Drilling sampling at Junee was completed on cut half core nominally sampled at 1m or 2m intervals, or at appropriate geological boundaries. Recent RC drilling at Junee was completed by nominally sampling at 1m or 2m intervals usinga spear. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
Historical diamond drilling was nominally sampled at 1m intervals or otherwise at appropriate geological boundaries. |
|
| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. |
Determination of historical and recent mineralisation was assumed to be through appropriate geological logging of samples by the geologist responsible. |
|
| 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. |
Historical drilling was completed using a diamond or percussion rig of unknown type to obtain samples for analysis. Recent drilling and sampling at Junee was conducted using industry standard equipment and practices. |
|
| 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). |
Historical drilling was completed using a diamond or percussion rig of unknown type Recent diamond and RC drilling at Junee was conducted using a UDR1200 or UDR650 rig, generally with a hole size of HQ3 but sometimes with PQ drilled in the upper portion of the hole. NQ3 was utilised when required due to adverse drilling conditions/drilling difficulties, affecting holes JNRCD010, JNRCD013, JNRCD014, JNRCD042A & JNDD069. |
| Drill sample recovery | Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. |
No recoveries were reported from historical drilling. At Junee recoveries were estimated on all RC holes and any core loss was stated on diamond core but was generallylow. |
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
No measures to ensure representivity were reported from historical drilling At Junee RC samples were checked by the geologist for volume, moisture content, possible |

| contamination, recoveries and against drill depth. Any issues were discussed with the drilling contractor. |
||
| 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. |
No sample biases can be determined from the historical holes At Junee sample recovery was good. No sample biases are expected, and no relationship is known to exist between sample recoveryandgrade. |
|
| 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. |
No Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies or metallurgical studies have been conducted at this stage Historical drill holes were geologically logged Recent drill holes at Junee were not geologically logged with sufficient detail to use for further studies. |
| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. |
Geological logging was qualitative in nature. All Junee diamond holes have been photographed |
|
| The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
The entire length of all historical and recent holes was logged. |
|
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. |
No details were reported on historical drill core sampling methods Junee diamond drill holes were half core sampled |
| If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and-whether sampled wet or dry. |
No references have been found to sampling techniques or procedures for historical drilling, trenching or channel sampling or whether samples were wet or dry. For recent Junee drilling, 1m interval samples were equally sampled in blocks of 2m with a sampling spear to produce a 2m composite sample for assay. The assay sample was placed in a sequentially numbered calico bag. |

No references have been found for QAQC methods for historical results Pulverised Junee samples are rotary split usinga Boyd RotarySplitter |
|
| 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. |
No references have been found for QAQC methods for historical results At Junee, Duplicates were completed every fiftieth sample in the drill program and in diamond core this wasquarter core. |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
No references have been found for sample sizes for historical results At Junee, Sample size is considered appropriate for the target style of mineralisation,and the requirements |

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. |
ALS is an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ISO9001:2015 certified laboratory. Rock Chip\Grab Samples taken by Gilmore Metals at Dunedoo and Breakfast Creek, as well as Junee drill samples were analysed at ALS laboratories in Orange, NSW\Perth, WA, using a 50g charge and AAS finish for gold, along with a 60- element package via four acid digest and ICP-MS finish. Lower detection limit range for Au was 0.001ppm Historical samples from Temora South and Prince of Wales were analysed at Australian Assay Laboratories (AAL) in Orange, NSW, with Au analysed using a 50g charge and AAS finish, along with a 5 or 8- element package via three acid digest and AAS. Lower detection limit range for Au was 0.001ppm. No laboratory details or methods have been found for the historical results from the Wilga, Bournewood, Brungle or Breakfast Creek Projects. |
| 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. |
No geophysical, spectral or handheld XRF tools have been reported being used on samples or core. |
|
| Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
No references found for Sample quality, sample interval, sample number and QA/QC inserts (standards, duplicates, blanks) for historical sampling. At Junee, Duplicates, blanks and standards were placed in the sample sequence every fiftieth sample in the drill program. The QAQC assays were reviewed to ensure testing was accurate. In addition, lab duplicates and lab standard analysis (laboratory checks) are investigated to check for potential errors. If a potential error is discovered, it is investigated and the samples are potentially re-run with another laboratory. |

| 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. |
All historical data is collected and recorded in AGD84 AMG or lat\long. The location of the surveys is considered to be adequately established and consistent with industry standards and has undergone transformation to grid system GDA94 MGA. All Junee data is collected in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)GDA94 MGA. |
| Specification of the grid system used. |
The grid system used is Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) GDA94 MGA. |

| Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
Available Government Topographic data has been used for historical data. At Junee a DEM was produced from the aeromagnetic survey and was used for topographic control. |
|
| Data spacing and distribution | Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. |
Historical spacing varied depending on the target Data spacing at Junee varied depending on the sample type but was appropriate for the target |
| 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. |
No Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve have been estimated. |
|
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
No compositing of assay data has 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. |
Historical work was nominally oriented perpendicular to the target Junee work was nominally oriented perpendicular to the target |
| 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. |
Historical drill testing is too early stage to determine if the drilling orientation has introduced a sampling bias. Junee drill testing is too early stage to determine if the drilling orientation has introduced a sampling bias. |

All Projects are located within interpreted Macquarie Arc stratigraphy within the Lachlan Fold Belt, which is a world class copper- gold mineral province hosting the giant Cadia Cu-Au porphyry district (35.1Moz Au & 7.9Mt Cu), North Parkes Cu-Au porphyry district (5.2Moz Au & 4.4Mt Cu) and Cowal epithermal Au mine (13Moz Au). EL8876 Darbys Ridge Project: The target is porphyry Au-Cu and epithermal gold mineralisation hosted in interpreted Macquarie Arc stratigraphy possibly intersected by the Gilmore Suture. Tenure targets a buried magnetic complex interpreted to represent Late Ordovician – Early Silurian volcano-intrusive complexes considered prospective for porphyry Au-Cu and epithermal gold mineralisation.

| Group outcrops in the east of the tenement and the early Devonian Darby’s Ridge Conglomerate of the Yarra Yarra Creek Group outcrops in the west. The magnetic complex is concealed by a complex regolith profile of Tertiary and Quaternary age. EL8895 Temora South Project: Tenure encapsulates a structurally complex zone of Late Ordovician to Early Silurian Temora Volcanics, bounded and traversed by the regionally significant Gilmore Suture and associated second order splay structures. The Temora Volcanics consist of andesite, trachyandesite, latite and basaltic-andesite volcanic and volcano-sedimentary rocks in addition to localised monzodiorite intrusions and are believed to be highly prospective for porphyry Cu- Au and Cowal style epithermal gold mineralisation. EL9137 Bournewood Project: Tenure encapsulates the early to middle Devonian Cuga Burga Volcanics consisting of basalt- andesite-latite-trachyte volcanic and volcaniclastic siltstone-sandstone- breccia units, plus localised limestone lenses, all favourable host rocks and erosion level for high grade wall-rock hosted porphyry Au-Cu-Mo deposits. The Cuga Burga Volcanics are intruded by a 'fertile' high K calc alkaline Devonian intrusive complex, termed the Yeoval Batholith, consisting of equigranular and porphyritic gabbro-diorite+/-quartz monzodiorite-monzonite intrusions exhibiting a hornblende-magnetite- apatite mineral assemblage typical of fertile Au-Cu systems. EL9138 Dunedoo Project: Tenure encapsulates the Late Ordovician Tucklan Formation comprised of basaltic-andesitic volcanics, basalt-latite boulder conglomerate/breccia, mudstone, sandstone and chert, considered highly prospective for porphyry Au- Cu-Mo deposits. The Tucklan Formation is synchronous with Phase 4 volcanism in the Macquarie Arc, associated in time and space with the largest Au-Cu deposits in the region. 10km south of the project area several porphyry Cu-Au-Mo prospects have been identified, hosted within the Tucklan Formation and Silurian Dungeree Volcanics, with the regionally significant Mudgee Fault Corridor a controlling influence on mineralisation. |

| EL9272 Wilga Project: The targets are porphyry Au-Cu and epithermal gold mineralisation hosted in interpreted Macquarie Arc stratigraphy, in a favourable structural position intersected by the regionally significant Gilmore Suture and Lachlan River lineament. Tenure is focused on an interpreted ~20km long segment of probable Late Ordovician Lake Cowal Volcanics evident in geophysical datasets. The prospective basement stratigraphy is obscured by the Late Silurian Ootha Group and a complex regolith profile of Quaternary age. EL9313 Breakfast Creek Project: Targets are porphyry Au-Cu and epithermal gold mineralisation hosted in the southern extent of the Molong Volcanic Belt, located within the eastern zone of the Macquarie Arc. The belt is intersected by numerous, regional scale, arc parallel and cross arc structural corridors. Tenure is focused on Late Ordovician Cabonne Group (Kenyu Formation) mafic volcanic and volcano- sedimentary rocks. EL9532 Brungle Project: Tenure encapsulates portions of the Gocup, Brungle, and Bogong Blocks of the Tumut Synclinorial Zone, consisting of predominately Silurian age units including the Brungle Volcanics, Jackalass Slate and Blowering Formation. Age dating constraints are poor for these units and it is postulated that they may represent a misclassified and unrecognised portion of the Macquarie Arc prospective for epithermal Au mineralisation and related porphyry Au-Cu mineralisation. EL9533 Prince of Wales Project: Tenure encapsulates the Gocup Block of the Tumut Synclinorial Zone, consisting of the Silurian Frampton Volcanics, Jackalass Slate and Eurongilly Serpentinite. Age dating constraints are poor for these units and it is postulated that they may represent a misclassified and unrecognised portion of the Macquarie Arc prospective for epithermal Au mineralisation and related porphyry Au-Cu mineralisation. EL9467 Fairholme Project: Tenure encapsulates an under- explored portion of the Fairholme Igneous Complex consisting of basaltic to andesitic composition wallrocks, containing postulated Siluro-Ordovican intrusions |

| interpreted to be correlates of the Phase 4 felsic intrusions that host gold mineralisation at North Parkes and Cadia. Given the large volcano- intrusive complex and requisite cross arc structures the tenement is considered highly prospective for porphyry Au-Cu and epithermal Au mineralisation. The Fairholme Igneous Complex, a possible time and compositional equivalent to the nearby Cowal Volcanic Complex, is obscured by transported Quaternary cover across much of the tenement. EL8470 Junee: Tenure encapsulates the Late Ordovician-Early Silurian Junawarra Volcanics a north-westerly trending belt of intermediate to mafic volcanics, volcaniclastics, sediments & cogenetic monzonitic to dioritic intrusive rocks. Outcrops of these prospective basement rocks are restricted due to an extensive but shallow (<50m deep) cover sequence of Siluro-Devonian Combaning Formation sedimentary rocks &/or Quaternary sediments. The Junawarra Volcanics are believed to be equivalents to the Gidginbung Volcanics which host significant epithermal gold & porphyry copper- gold deposits (>1.8Moz Au & >0.43Mt Cu) along strike to the north at the old Gidginbung Gold Mine, The Dam (Cu-Au), Rain Hill (Cu-Au), Yiddah (Cu-Au), Mandamah (Cu-Au) & Donnington(Cu-Au)deposits. |

| 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. |
Completed drill hole details are presented in Tables in the body of the report. |
| 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. |
No information has been excluded from this release to the best of Koonenberry Gold’s knowledge. |
|
| Data aggregation methods | In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g., cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
Standard length weighting averaging techniques were used for historical significant intersection calculations. No Top Cuts were used. |

| 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 aggregate drill intercepts are length weighted and internal dilution applicable is stated below the table. |
|
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No metal equivalent values have been reported. |
|
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
Information and knowledge of the mineralised systems are inadequate to estimate true widths at this stage. |
| If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. |
The geometry is unknown at this stage |
|
| If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g., ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
Down hole lengths are reported |
|
| 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 maps, sections, and tables for new results have been included. |
| 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. |
Not all sample assay data has been included in this report as it is not considered material beyond the reported results presented in the main body of this ASX Release. Gold results below detection are <0.001g/t and Cu, Pb and Zn results below detection are <1ppm. |
| 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. |
These Projects includes exploration data collected by previous companies. Much of this data has been captured and validated in a GIS database. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g., tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step- out drilling). |
Further exploration will be planned based on ongoing data interpretation, surface assay results, geophysical surveys and geological assessment ofprospectivity |
| Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
