JORC Code (2012) Table 1 - Darling Range Project – Black Hills Tenement

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as downhole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

Sampling was undertaken using Industry-standard practices utilising shallow
vertical rotary air blast drilling (RAB). Drilling was undertaken by CRA
exploration (1995).

Rock chip sampling was also undertaken by Fox Resources (2011 – 2013).

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

CRA Drillhole coordinates are in UTM grid (GDA94 Z50).

The drilling undertaken has been vertical to RAB blade refusal (top of the fresh
rock).

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public
Report.

The RAB drilling was completed by a composite sampling of 4m with resampling
to two metre composites for anomalous zones (>0.1 g/t Au).

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (e.g. ‘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 (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.

RAB samples were taken from the rig-mounted cyclone. Composite samples
were generally via a spear sampled. In general, the target was for samples
weighing approximately 2.5kg.

RAB Gold analysis was undertaken by Fire assay (50g charge) with an AAS
finish by Multi Labs in Perth.

Rock chip samples analysis was fire assay with an ICP-MS finish for gold and
ICP-OES finish for multi-elements.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. 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 by CRA exploration was completed using RAB drilling (26 holes).
From the information reviewed, it appears that drilling was conducted using
industry-standard techniques.
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.

Given the historical nature of the drilling, no information is available about
sample recoveries for specific drill programs

No bias was noted between sample recovery and grade.
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,

Logs for the RAB drill holes were generally of reasonable quality.

Qualitative logging of lithology, alteration, mineralisation, regolith and veining
was undertaken at various intervals.

channel, etc) photography.

_The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. _

drill holes were fully logged.
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. _

Limited data is available for subsampling techniques.

CRA Exploration samples analysis was by 50g fire assay with an AAS finish at
Multi Labs in Perth.

Sampling appears to have been carried out using industry-standard practise.

No QA/QC procedures have been reviewed on for the historical sampling.

The sample size is considered appropriate for the material being 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 (e.g. standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of
_accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. _

Where information has been provided in WAMEX reports, the analytical
techniques appear appropriate for the stage of exploration being conducted.

No specific review of QAQC protocols or analysis has been completed although
it is assumed that the programs were conducted using industry-standard
techniques for the time.
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. _

No twinned holes were identified from the data reviewed, although given the
early stage of exploration this is to be expected.

No adjustments have been made to original assay data.
Location of
data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-
hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

CRA drilling was undertaken using MGA94 zone 50 grid and while not reported,
it is believed those hole locations were measured by hand-held GPS.

No field validation has been undertaken.

Topographic control is considered adequate for the early stage of exploration.
Data spacing
and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

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

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Drillhole spacing is highly variable over the project with sporadic.

There has been insufficient sampling and significant results to date to estimate
a resource. It is unknown if additional exploration will result in the definition of
a Mineral Resource.

Assays have been composited into significant intersections. No edge dilution
has been applied to significant intersections and intervals of greater than 0.5g/t
gold are considered significant.

10

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.

Holes were vertical.

No orientation-based sampling bias is known at this time.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample security.

Details of measures taken for the chain of custody of samples is unknown for
the previous explorers' activities.
Audits or
reviews

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

No Audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data have been undertaken.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status

Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements
or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships,
overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national
park and environmental settings.

The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known
impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

The Darling Range Project covers an area of approximately 75km2on three
tenements. Two granted Exploration licences (E 70/5147 – Black Hills and
E 70/5329 – Batty Bog) and one exploration licence application (and E
70/5403 – Mistake Creek). The project is located between 100km and
120km north-east of Perth. The nearby country towns include Northam,
Toodyay and New Norcia and Gingin being 40km to the west. The project is
closely located to Perth and, therefore, it has multiple logistic corridors to
get to and around the project area. Mamba has an agreement to purchase
100% of the project as part of the IPO

Access to the project is via numerous sealed roads (See M24 Prospectus
dated 14 December 2020, Section 3.2 of additional details).

The project is covered by the Yued (30) (for Black Hills and Batty Bog) and

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration
results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill
holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of
the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information
is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of
the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

Significant drill results have been included in Table 1 & 3 and Figure 1 & 2
of this report.

No relevant data has been excluded from this report.
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.

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.

Significant intersections (+0.5g/t gold) have been calculated with no edge
dilution and a minimum of 1m downhole length.

No top cuts have been applied.

No metal equivalent values are reported
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 (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’).

Only downhole lengths are reported.

The exact geometry of the mineralisation is not known.
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 plans are included in this report
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 exploration drill results are included in this report.

12

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.

To date, only exploration drilling and geophysical surveys (and associated
activities) have been undertaken on the project. No other modifying factors
have been investigated at this stage.
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).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the
main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially sensitive.

Further work will include geophysical surveys and systematic exploration
drilling.
