8m @ 14.8g/t Au – More High-Grade Gold at Turnberry South

Drilling at Turnberry South, part of the Murchison Gold Project (“Murchison”), continues to hit broad zones of high-grade gold outside the Stage 1 open pit, currently in production, and is likely to expand the Resource and extend open pit mining.

  • Thick high-grade drill results from Turnberry South include:

  • 8m @ 14.79g/t Au from 44m including 2m @ 53.05g/t Au (25TBRC061)

  • 20m @ 3.57g/t Au from 47m including 2m @ 13.25g/t Au (25TBRC064) and 10m @ 5.01g/t Au from 73m including 3m @ 14.74g/t Au (25TBRC064)

  • 8m @ 4.06g/t Au from 58m including 1m @ 20.87g/t Au (25TBRC032) and 4m @ 12.50g/t Au from 84m including 1m @ 46.69g/t Au (25TBRC032)

  • 3m @ 10.96g/t Au from 53m (25TBRC087)

  • 10m @ 2.70g/t Au from 53m including 2m @ 7.20g/t Au (25TBRC068)

  • 15m @ 1.23g/t Au from 36m including 5m @ 2.32g/t Au (25TBRC058) and 5m @ 5.44g/t Au from 79m including 2m @ 12.62g/t Au (25TBRC058)

  • 17m @ 1.07g/t Au from 70m including 2m @ 4.98g/t Au (25TBRC040)

  • 16m @ 1.06g/t Au from 67m including 1m @ 6.52g/t Au (25TBRC065)

  • These strong results continue to highlight potential to grow the Resource and Reserves, and will likely extend the Stage 1 open pits beyond the initial ~2 years previously planned.

  • RC drilling continues at Turnberry following up the high-grade gold intersections on the northeastern flank, as well as reconnaissance drilling within a ~3km section (between Turnberry and St Anne’s) of the broader ~20km Fairway shear zone that transects Meeka’s tenure.

Commenting on the drilling, Meeka’s Managing Director Tim Davidson said: “These results continue to strengthen the medium-term open pit production outlook beyond the initial ~2 year Stage 1 mine plan. The high-grades intersected will improve the tenor of the Resource in the areas drilled and will enhance both future production and cash generation.

Growth drilling remains ongoing at Turnberry as well as first pass drilling in the highly prospective 3km belt of largely untested greenstones between Turnberry and St Anne’s which forms part of the broader 20km Fairway shear zone that transects our tenure.”

  • 3m @ 10.96g/t Au from 53m (25TBRC087)

The geological package at Turnberry South is largely comprised of fractionated dolerite with an ultramafic base, basalt and felsic volcaniclastics surrounded by a package of siliciclastic sediments and shales. Structural interpretation suggests the mineralisation may be aligned along northnortheast trending fold axes that are interpreted to plunge sub-vertically in the southern part of Turnberry.

The gold in this drilling sits along strike of the Stage 1 open pit, both to the north and to the southwest of the pit, which is currently in production. These drill results will be incorporated into an expanded grade control model and used to support the Stage 2 open pit design.

Little drilling has been completed below these high-grade results (below ~100m depth) and mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike with strong growth potential.

Drilling is ongoing, targeting the northern, central and southern Resource growth areas at Turnberry (see Figure 1). First pass drilling has also commenced within a ~3km section (between Turnberry and St Anne’s) of the broader ~20km Fairway shear zone that transects Meeka’s tenure.

JORC 2012 – TABLE 1: TURNBERRY

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

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 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 (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.
One metre primary samples and three metre
composite samples were collected via reverse
circulation (RC) drilling.
Additional sampling of diamond core was
conducted more selectively to understand
controls on mineralisation and collect density
data.
The quality of the samples were actively
monitored and evaluated using various quality
control techniques.
The majority of sampling occurred in the near-
completely oxidised regolith clays using RC
methods.
Diamond core drilling has been used to verify
key air core drilled intersections.
Reverse circulation and diamond core drilling
techniques are typical and appropriate for the
style of mineralisation being estimated.
The quality of the sampling is deemed to be
appropriate and fit-for-purpose of mineral
resource estimation.
Various measures were employed to monitor
and assure the quality of samples collected.
Such measures include:
Every effort is made to drill dry samples. Where
wet samples are drilled they are logged as wet
and the quality of these samples are taken into
account in the resource estimation.
Qualitative active monitoring of sample recovery
and photographing of drill samples at the end of
hole to assess sample recovery.
The calibration of scales used for the collection
of wet-dry Archimedes density data using a
calibration weight during the collection process.
Internal calibration checks were performed by
the pXRF analyser daily.
Calibration of the DGPS instrument was
performed before the travelled to site for each
surveying campaign. For exploration samples
gold mineralisation was initially determined with
~3kg, speared, four metre composite samples
which were dried, crushed and pulverised with a
50g sample fire assayed and analysed using
atomic absorption spectrometry.
Mineralised composites greater than 0.3 g/t had
their respective 1m, ~2-3kg, cone split samples
collected and submitted for either fire assay or
photon analysis. Fire assay was as described
above and photon assay involves drying the
sample, fine crushing to 90% passing -3mm and
a 500g sub-sample is put in a photon assay jar
and analysed for gold.

1m grade control samples were fire assayed as
per the above method.
Mineralisation determined qualitatively through
monitoring presence of sulphide, quartz veining
and visible gold. Additional mineralisation was
qualitatively determined using pXRF analysis for
pathfinder geochemistry which maps the
mineralisation.
pXRF analyses for alteration and common rock-
forming elements was carried out on every
metre by taking a small ~50g sample from the
AC/RC fines and analysing with the Olympus
Vanta VMR XRF Analyser using all 3 beams for 15
seconds each.
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).
A combination of AC drilling with 4 inch cutting
blade bits and smaller-format 4-inch face
sampling hammer bits, RC drilling with 5.5 inch
face sampling hammers and triple tube HQ3
and NQ diamond core tails were used to obtain
samples.
Air drilling was performed with the multi-
purpose (AC and RC) Schramm T450 rig with
400psi/1240cfm onboard air for AC drilling and
the addition of 350psi/1350cfm compressor and
1000psi booster when drilling deeper or drilling
RC. The rig runs 3.5 inch rods and a 3inch
diameter sample hose.
Diamond core was collected using triple-tube
methods in the clays and conventional methods
in fresh rock NQ diamond tails. All core was
oriented wherever possible using Reflex
orientation instruments.
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.
Visual assessment of sample recovery monitored
and communicated with drillers. Photographs of
drill sample at the end of each hole as a visual
record of recovery from each hole.
Core, assessed during drilling for loss, loss
intervals recorded on core blocks by drillers. Core
markup conducted by field technicians to assess
core recovery and recoveries are logged by
geologist.
Larger format 4 inch AC blade bits were used
with appropriate onboard air volume and
pressure to maximise recovery regolith clays.
A booster and auxiliary compressor were used to
drill RC holes to ensure appropriate air pressure
to drill holes dry and lift total samples.
HQ3 triple tube techniques were used when
diamond drilling to maximise recovery through
the regolith clays.
As sample recoveries are generally very high,
there is no known relationship between sample
recovery and grade.
The qualitative data available and recent drilling
conducted by MEK indicate there is no
relationship between recovery and grade.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Holes logged to a level of detail to support
mineral resource estimation, mining studies and

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.
Core diamond tails were half cored with an
Almonte core saw.
The HQ3 triple tubed holes were whole core
sampled apart from the quartz veins which were
half core sampled.
All 3 m composites were spear sampled.
All air drilled 1 m primary samples were split
using a gravity fed fixed cone splitter system,
predominantly dry. Where samples were split
wet these samples were logged as wet samples
and the sample system cleaned and dried to
minimise bias and contamination.
The subsampling technique applied to the RC
and AC samples is considered industry standard,
with measures in place to maximise recovery
and minimise contamination.
This includes the application of a cone splitter
which allows for a more consistent sample split.
In addition, the samples are kept dry using
appropriate downhole air pressure within the
reverse circulation system. The samples
delineation is actively controlled.
Diamond core followed half-core sampling
techniques. Core was cut along the orientation
line and the same half of core was always
submitted for analysis.
Recovery was logged and accounted for in the
logging and sampling.
Air drilled (RC and AC) samples were presented
to a gravity fed cone splitter to produce a ~3kg
sub-sample for each metre. Samples were
pulverised to 85% passing 75 microns. The pulp
split is scooped from the pulverised pulp sample.
For photon analysis the cone split sample is
crushed to 90% passing -3mm and a 500g split is
taken to fill the photon analysis jar. No
duplicates were included in this sample stream.
Pulp duplicates taken at the pulverising stage
and selective repeats conducted at the
laboratory’s discretion.
No twin drilling has been completed for the
project but close spaced diamond drilling of
some of the keymineralised areas drilled with

AC have been drilled. These holes return similar
grade tenor and distributions as the AC holes.
Field duplicates are taken from the cone splitter
using the second shoot every 20 samples. These
are analysed when included in a mineralised
interval identified by the composite samples.
No field duplicates are included in the core
sample stream. Using two quarter cores as
duplicates significantly reduces the sample
support of the “duplicates” and sampling of the
second half of diamond core leaves no core for
future reference.
In the Competent Person’s opinion, the sample
size is appropriate for the grain size of the
material being sampled. The first split sizes are
industry standard and considered appropriate
for the mineralisation style. A 50g fire assay is
considered the optimal sample size considering
practical and economic constraints. The 500g
Photon sample is a further improvement in
sample support.
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 (i.e. lack of bias) and
precision have been established.
Fire assay, total technique, with AAS finish is
appropriate for gold.
Photon assay is considered a total technique
and appropriate for gold.
In the Competent Person’s opinion, the analysis
methods employed are appropriate for the
mineralisation style and use in mineral resource
estimation.
pXRF analysis data were collected for most
drilling included in the resource definition
programme to support geological modelling. An
Olympus Vanta VMR pXRF analyser with a 50kV
x-ray tube and a Rh anode was used for the
programme in geochemical mode with all three
beams set to 15 seconds. Each day the
instrument internally calibrates itself to ensure it
is operating within factory specifications. No
calibrations have been applied.
Certified reference material: 1:25 samples
Blanks: coarse blank nominally 1:100; lab - barren
quartz flush
Field: RC – duplicate taken from second chute
on fixed cone splitter at a rate of 1:20.
Pulp duplicates selected by the laboratory.
In the Competent Person’s opinion, the lab
performed acceptably, with acceptable levels of
accuracy and precision established. The quality
of analysis is appropriate for mineral resource
estimation.
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.
All sampling is routinely inspected by senior
geological staff.
No holes have been twinned at this stage.
However key mineralised zones have been core
drilled in the centre of a dice-5 pattern to verify
high-grade intervals defined from AC.

Not applicable, as mineralised 3m composites
samples (>0.3 g/t) had their respective 1m
samples subsequently assayed which take
precedence.
Orientation of
data in relation

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.
Drill holes oriented at right angles to strike of
deposit, dip optimized for drillability and dip of
orebody, sampling believed to be unbiased.
There is no apparent bias in any of the drilling
orientations used.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. All samples are selected, cut and bagged in a
tied, numbered calico bag, grouped into larger
polyweave bags. Polyweave bags are placed into
larger bulker bags with a sample submission
sheet and tied shut. Consignment note and
delivery address details are written on the side of
the bag and delivered to Toll Express in
Meekatharra or collected by Dananni Haulage
later in the programme. The bags are delivered
directly to ALS in Perth, WA who are NATA
accredited for compliance with
ISO/IEC17025:2005. ALS reconcile the physical
samples delivered against the sample
submission and communicate any errors
identified.

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

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
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.
Aggregate sample assays are calculated using a
length‐weighted average.
Significant intervals are based on the logged
geological interval, with all internal dilution
included.
No metal equivalent values are used for
reporting exploration results.
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’).
Drill holes are oriented at right angles to strike
of deposit, dip optimized for drilling purposes
and dip of ore body. Down hole widths are
reported with most drill holes intersecting the
mineralised lenses at 30‐40 degrees.
Strike of mineralisation is approximately north-
south in the Fairway Trend.
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.
Drilling is presented in long‐section and cross
section as appropriate and reported quarterly
to the ASX in line with ASIC requirements.
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 drillhole results have been reported in
previous announcements available at
https://meekametals.com.au/asx-

Reports also include drillholes of insignificant
intersections
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 meaningful and material data are reported.
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.
Follow up work at Fairway trend will comprise
of further infill and extensional drilling
programs to continue to develop the resource
potential and test additional exploration
targets.
