MAIDEN DRILLING HITS GOLD AT KANOWNA EAST
Highlights
-
Strong gold mineralisation intersected from wide-spaced drilling
-
Multiple zones of anomalous gold with new targets identified
-
Programme of Work approved to drill broad untested structural target
Metal Hawk Limited ( ASX: MHK , “Metal Hawk” or “The Company”) is pleased to provide an update on exploration drilling activities at the Kanowna East Project, situated 25 kilometres north-east of Kalgoorlie and 8 kilometres from Northern Star’s Kanowna Belle gold mine (+5 Moz Au).
Assay results have been received for approximately half of the recently completed aircore (AC) drilling at Kanowna East. A total of 240 AC holes for 15,520m have been drilled, with results pending for 121 holes.
Best results from composite samples received to date include:
-
4m @ 7.11g/t Au from 55m in KEAC180
-
5m @ 2.24g/t Au from 65m in KEAC006 (to end of hole)
-
6m @ 1.54g/t Au from 54m in KEAC051
-
6m @ 1.19g/t Au from 57m in KEAC053
-
5m @ 0.89g/t Au from 56m in KEAC183
-
5m @ 0.75g/t Au from 65m in KEAC008
-
6m @ 0.70g/t Au from 64m in KEAC005
-
6m @ 0.57g/t Au from 60m in KEAC035
Metal Hawk’s Managing Director Will Belbin commented; “These very encouraging results from our maiden drilling program support our belief that there could be a significant gold system at Kanowna East.” Systematic exploration is set to continue with a track-mounted lake AC rig scheduled to commence this month with approximately 45 holes remaining to complete Stage-1 of the Company’s extensive maiden drilling campaign.
Prior to this program the Kanowna East Project has been poorly explored with only 103 historical RAB and AC drillholes recorded at an average hole depth of 57m. Metal Hawk’s wide-spaced aircore drilling has been designed to test the bedrock geochemistry beneath the extensive cover sequence of clay and sand which overlies much of the project area. This drilling has intersected significant gold mineralisation in numerous drillholes at the Little Lake and Western Tiger prospects. Furthermore, a large proportion of the assays received to date have returned anomalous gold (see Figures 1 to 3 and Table 1).

LITTLE LAKE
Aircore drilling has confirmed historical mineralisation at Little Lake, where a single aircore traverse in 2005 intersected 18m @ 1.2 g/t Au (from 60m to end-of-hole). Metal Hawk’s drilling has intersected highly anomalous gold in multiple aircore holes over a broad area up to 400m north of this historical intersection. Results are shown in Figure 2 (and Table 1) and highlights include:
-
4m @ 7.1g/t Au from 55m in KEAC180
-
5m @ 2.24g/t Au from 65m (to end of hole) in KEAC006
-
5m @ 0.89g/t Au from 56m in KEAC183

WESTERN TIGER
Drilling at the Western Tiger prospect has identified a number of gold anomalies situated near the western side of tenement E27/596 and within close proximity to a number of historical gold intersections from RAB drilling (shown in Figure 3). Best results include:
-
6m @ 1.54g/t Au from 54m in KEAC051
-
6m @ 1.19g/t Au from 57m in KEAC053
-
6m @ 0.57g/t Au from 60m in KEAC035

FORWARD PLAN
The Company will design follow-up work as Stage-1 drilling is completed and assay results are received. Stage-2 drilling is expected to commence in Q2-2021 and will include infill and extensional aircore as well as deeper RC drilling in order to further test the bedrock. Multielement analysis will be carried out on end-of-hole samples which The Company will use to help interpret the bedrock geology and mineralisation.
Additionally, PoW (Programme of Work) approval has been granted for further exploration drilling to the north of Little Lake (shown in Figures 1 and 2). A broad zone of structural complexity presents as a priority untested gold target and additional drilling will be conducted as part of Metal Hawk’s Stage-2 exploration program.

While the Company is focused on exploring for gold at Kanowna East, the project is also highly prospective for nickel sulphides. Metal Hawk has a Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement with Western Areas Limited (ASX: WSA) which includes the Kanowna East Project. WSA can earn a joint venture interest in all commodities other than gold and are managing nickel exploration on the project.

2012 JORC Table 1
SECTION 1: SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA
JORC Code explanation
Commentary
| 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. |
240 aircore (AC) holes were completed as part of this program. Hole depths ranged from 1m to 116m. Drill holes were angled at -60/270 and -90. Hole azimuths and dips are listed in Table 2. Drillhole locations were established by handheld GPS. Logging of drill samples included lithology, weathering, texture, moisture and contamination. Sampling protocols and QAQC are as per industry best practice procedures. AC drilling was sampled using a combination of composite sampling (2m – 6m) and single 1m sampling at end of hole. Samples were sent to Intertek Genalysis in Kalgoorlie, crushed to 10mm, dried and pulverized (total prep) in LM5 units to produce a sub-sample. The pulps were then sent to Perth for analysis via 50g Fire Assay with ICP-OES (Intertek code FA50/OE04) with a 5ppb lower detection limit. |
| 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). |
AC drilling was used to obtain 1-metre samples that were passed through a cyclone and collected in a bucket which was then emptied on the ground. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
The sample recovery was visually assessed and noted. The recovery was considered normal for this type of drilling. Samples were variably dry, damp and sometime wet. Sample condition was logged. All AC holes were drilled to blade refusal. |
16
==> picture [595 x 114] intentionally omitted <==
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
A qualified geologist logged all holes in full and supervised the sampling. Photographs were taken of all sample spoils. |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
AC samples were collected using a cyclone attached to the drill rig. The sample material was emptied on the ground and a 400g-1000g sub- sample was taken from each one-metre interval using a sampling scoop. Sub-samples for consecutive metres within composite intervals were placed in a pre-numbered calico bag. Field QC involves the review of laboratory supplied certified reference material, in house controls, blanks, splits and duplicates. These QC results are reported by the laboratory with final assay results. No field duplicates were taken. All AC samples were analysed at a Perth laboratory Intertek Genalysis using Fire-Assay method FA50/OE04 Sample preparation included sorting, drying and pulverizing (85% passing 75 µm) in a LM5 steel mill. The sample sizes are considered more than adequate to ensure that there are no particle size effects. |
| 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. |
Samples were assayed for Au at Intertek Genalysis Laboratories, Perth, using 50g charge fire assay to 0.005ppm detection limit. No geophysical tools have been utilised for reporting gold mineralisation. Internal laboratory control procedures involve duplicate assaying of randomly selected assay pulps as well as internal laboratory standards. All of these data are reported to the Company and analysed for consistency and any discrepancies. |

==> picture [595 x 114] intentionally omitted <==
| 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. |
Senior personnel from the Company have visually inspected mineralisation in some of the samples. No aircore holes were twinned in the current program. Primary data was collected using a standard set of Excel templates on a Toughbook laptop computer in the field. These data are checked, validated and transferred to the company database No adjustments or calibrations have been made to any assay data. |
|---|---|---|
| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drillholes (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. |
Drill hole locations have been established using a field GPS unit. The grid system is MGA_GDA94, zone 51 for easting, northing and RL. The topographic surface was generated from digital terrain models generated from low level airborne geophysical surveys. |
| 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. |
The drillhole spacing along lines are between 100m and 200m apart. The section spacings are a minimum of 400m Data from aircore drilling is not suitable for estimation of Mineral Resources. Sample compositing occurred over 2m to 6m intervals. |
| 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. |
Aircore drill holes were positioned so that drilling was essentially perpendicular to strike. No sampling bias is believed to have been introduced. |
| Sample security |
The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
Sample security is managed by the Company. After preparation in the field samples are packed into labelled polyweave bags and despatched to the laboratory. All samples were transported by the Company directly to the assay laboratory. The assay laboratory audits the samples on arrival and reports and discrepancies back to the Company. |
| Audits or reviews |
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
No review of the sampling techniques has been carried out. |

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 drilling program was conducted on the Kanowna East project on licenses E27/596 and P27/2428. Both of these tenements are 100% owned by the Company. |
| 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 tenements are in good standing and no known impediments exist. |
|
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Historical exploration by other parties identified anomalous gold and nickel values in limited aircore drilling. Other early work also included aeromagnetic surveys and interpretation. For details of previous exploration on the project refer to the ITAR (Independent Technical Assessment Report) included in the Metal Hawk Prospectus dated 29thSeptember 2020. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The geological setting is of Archaean age with common host rocks and structures related to orogenic gold mineralisation as found throughout the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. |
| 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. |
Refer to drill results tables and the Notes attached thereto in the text as applicable. |
| 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. |
All reported assay intervals have been length- weighted. No top cuts were applied. A nominal cut- off of 0.01 g/t Au was applied with up to 2m of internal dilution allowed.

| 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’). |
No definite relationships between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths are known from this drilling due to the highly weathered nature of the material sampled. |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
Refer to Figures in text. |
| 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 significant intercepts and summary of drill hole assay information are presented in Table 1. in the body this announcement. |
| 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 information has been included in the body of this announcement. |
| 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 be planned following further analysis and interpretation. |
