High grade intercepts continue at Ravensthorpe Gold Project
Highlights
-
New intersections at Gem Restored confirms the position, and extends the strike and plunge extent of the high-grade Northern Lode that remains open at depth and along strike.
-
Best intercepts include;
-
1.5m @ 19.4 g/t Au, 1.3 % Cu, 6.5 g/t Ag from 225.9m (DD21KP1026) (incl 0.7m @ 41.4 g/t Au from 226.2m)
-
3.4m @ 8.9 g/t Au, 1.2 % Cu, 6.5 g/t Ag from 249.7m (DD21KP1026)
-
3.1m @ 4.5 g/t Au, 0.4 % Cu, 4.2 g/t Ag from 173.4m (15GRRC001)
-
0.9m @ 8.5 g/t Au, 0.1 % Cu, 7.4 g/t Ag from 126.0m (DD21KP920)
-
The results demonstrate the potential to grow the Gem Restored mineralised system with further extensional drilling to re-commence in September 2021.
-
Maiden resource estimate for Gem Restored is well advanced and is expected to be reported in October 2021.
-
All results reported are outside the current Mineral Resource Estimate.
Managing Director, Paul Bennett, commented:
“I am very encouraged to see the extent of the Northern Lode expanded beyond the initial discovery hole. There is a significant opportunity to further expand Gem Restored and to identify repetitions of the high-grade plunge zones as the drilling progresses to the north. With the updated resource estimation work well advanced, we are confident that at the conclusion of this round of drilling, Gem Restored will play a major role in helping us achieve our initial aim of defining a 1 million ounce gold resource at RGP, beyond which, we plan to test the full exploration potential of the Project”.
Overview
Medallion Metals Limited (ASX:MM8, the “Company” or “Medallion”) is pleased to report additional results from drilling at the Gem Restored deposit, part of the Kundip Mining Centre (“KMC”) which hosts the Company’s current JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) of 674,000 oz[1] . The Gem Restored prospect is located at the northern end of the KMC within the greater Ravensthorpe Gold Project (“RGP”) (Figure 1).
1 Total Mineral Resources of 8.8 Mt @ 2.4 g/t Au (7.0 Mt @ 2.3 g/t Au Indicated and 1.8 Mt @ 2.6 g/t Au Inferred), Probable Ore Reserves of 4.1Mt @ 2.1 g/t Au. Refer to the Company’s Prospectus announced on the ASX on 18 March 2021 for further details regarding the MRE, Ore Reserves and Competent Person’s Statement.

Drilling underway at KMC is being carried out to extend the depth and strike of the known resources as well as test near mine targets including areas where mineralised trends are interpreted to intersect. Phase 1 drilling at Gem Restored is now complete. The results from this phase of drilling will inform the maiden MRE. Phase 2 drilling to further extend the deposit will commence in September 2021.
Results comprise RC and DDH assay results and visual logging results from DDH.
Diamond drilling at Gem Restored
Drilling has delineated two parallel lodes situated approximately 25m apart that dip at 65° to the southwest and plunge ~15° to the southeast. The hangingwall lode consists of a quartz-sulphide breccia vein with a sericitesilica alteration in the footwall. The geometric and geological characteristics are similar to the Main Lode delineated in previous drilling. Within DD21KP1026 (Figure 2), visible gold was observed at 226.4m within an interval that graded 0.67m @ 41.4 g/t Au.
==> picture [483 x 176] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2: Drill core of the hangingwall lode at Gem Restored. Visible gold is observed at 226.4m (DD21KP1026).
The footwall lode is characterised by quartz-massive sulphides, predominantly pyrite (75%), pyrrhotite (10%), chalcopyrite (5%) as shown over 3.38m in DD21KP1026 (Figure 3). No sericite-silica alteration to date has been observed accompanying the footwall lode differentiating it from the Main Lode.

Both extension and infill RC and DDH will commence at Gem Restored during September 2021. Planned holes are stepping to the north along strike and up-plunge towards historical shallow drilling that intersected encouraging drill results, including 1m @ 18.7g/t Au (15GRRC005)[3] .
New drill intercepts (>2gm x m) are provided in Annexure 1 and Annexure 2.
Drill Programme Update
Medallion’s 32,000m drill programme at RGP is progressing rapidly with approximately 15,000m of RC & DDH drilling completed to date with assays reported for the first ~ 10,000m programme. The Company now has 3 drill rigs (1 RC and 2 DDH) deployed at RGP to conclude the remaining 17,000m of the drill programme by the end of the calendar year.
The Gem Restored, Kaolin and Harbour View North phase 1 drill programmes have now been completed with a significant number of assays pending from Harbour View. Drilling is currently underway at Harbour View South (DDH) and the regional prospects Meridian (RC) and Old Gregg (DDH). Upon the completion of first pass drilling at Meridian in coming days, the RC rig will relocate to the Ariel prospect to round out the regional element of the 2021 drill programme.

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 (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. |

| Drillhole Information |
• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drillholes: oeasting and northing of the drillhole collar oelevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drillhole collar odip and azimuth of the hole odown hole length and interception depth ohole 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. |
• Drill hole location and directional information is provided within the body of the report and within Annexure 1. • All RC and DDH drilling is included in the plan view maps. |
| 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 |
• Grades are reported as down-hole length weighted averages. • Results are reported to a minimum cut-off grade of 1.0g/t Au and maximum internal dilution of 1.0m. • No top-cuts have been applied to reporting of assay results. • No metal equivalent values have been reported. |
| Relationshi p between mineralisati on 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 drillhole 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’). |
• The drill holes are interpreted to be approximately perpendicular to the strike of mineralisation. • Reported intersections are approximate, but are not true width, as drilling is not always exactly perpendicular to the strike/dip of mineralisation. • Estimates of true widths will only be possible when all results are received, and final geological interpretations have been completed. |
| 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 the drillhole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
• Plans and sections are provided in the main body of the 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. |
• All drill collar locations are shown in figures and all results, including those with no significant assays, are provided in this report. • Drill holes with pending assays are also shown in figures. • The report is considered balanced and in context. |
| 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. |
• Drilling at Gem Restored and across the Kundip Mining Centre is on-going. • A Sub-Audio Magnetic (SAM) survey has been completed across the Kundip Mining Centre, inclusive of Gem Restored, with data processing ongoing. • Downhole Magneto Metric Resistivity (MMR) surveys have been conducted on five (5) drillholes at Gem Restored. • Downhole Electro-Magnetic(EM)surveys have |

| been conducted on four (4) drillholes at Gem Restored. • Medallion Metals Ltd (formerly ACH Minerals Pty Ltd) submitted 860 historic pulps to SGS in 2016 to be reanalysed for cyanide soluble copper (CuCN) levels. The test work was conducted on samples recovered from the Kaolin area immediately adjacent to Gem Restored and delineated a horizon of elevated CuCN within the hypogene environment. • All other meaningful and material data is reported. |

| 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. |
• Assays remain outstanding for DD21KP919. • Five (5) additional RC holes and two (2) DDH will be completed at Gem Restored as part of phase 2 of the current drill programme. • Upon receipt of outstanding assays, the completion the remaining drilling and of geophysical data processing, results will be analysed. • It is expected that further drilling will be conducted down-dip and along strike of significant intersections to test for lateral and depth extensions to mineralisation. |
