Midas’ maiden drilling at Weebo returns shallow high-grade gold

Reconnaissance drilling delivers immediate success and points to a potentially significant gold system

Highlights

  • The first exploration drill program completed by Midas at the Weebo project in Western Australia has identified extensive gold mineralisation including high-grade gold results

  • The wide-spaced reconnaissance drilling focused on three main regional-scale structural and geochemical targets, named Scone Stone, Ockerburry and Otto

  • At the Scone Stone prospect, shallow high-grade mineralisation was encountered within broader gold mineralised halos. Significant intersections include:

  • 2m @ 12.5g/t gold from 54m, within 6m @ 4.4g/t gold from 54m in hole MDRC0009

  • 1m @ 18.2g/t gold from 44m, within 3m @ 6.7g/t gold from 43m in hole MDRC0010

  • 16m @ 1.7g/t gold from 108m, within 29m @ 1.1g/t gold from 98m in hole MDRC0012

  • The Ockerburry Prospect is a strong geochemical anomaly associated with the crustalscale Ockerburry shear zone that hosts significant gold deposits in the district

  • Results from the maiden Ockerburry drill campaign include:

  • 2m @ 18.4g/t gold from 8m in hole MDAC0015

  • 6m @ 1.5g/t gold from 40m, within 32m @ 0.7g/t gold from 40m in hole MDAC0055

  • 2m @ 3.1g/t gold from 66 and 3m @ 1.5g/t gold from 81m, within 28m @ 0.6g/t gold from 66m in hole MDAC0059

  • Results demonstrate the potential for a significant gold mineralised system

  • Weebo is located the WA goldfields, directly along strike from Northern Star Resources’ (ASX: NST) Thunderbox mine, and Otto Bore gold deposit

  • Results from eight RC holes at the Scone Stone and Otto Prospects are awaiting assays

  • All prospects remain open at depth and along strike

  • Midas will follow up these results, with a larger drill rig capable of penetrating deeper into bedrock planned for Q1 CY2022.

  • Midas remains well funded to complete follow up exploration, with A$7.6m in cash as at 30 September 2021

ASX / MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT 22 December 2021

==> picture [97 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

Midas Minerals Limited (Midas ”, or “ The Company ”) (ASX: MM1) is pleased to announce it has received extensive gold mineralisation including shallow, high-grade gold results from initial assays from its maiden drill programs, completed in November 2021, at the Weebo Gold Project ( Weebo ) in the Goldfields region of Western Australia.

Drilling was focused on gold mineralisation at the Ockerburry, Scone Stone and Otto prospects (refer ASX announcement 29 September 2021), testing prospects located along strike and proximal to Northern Star Resources’ (ASX: NST) Thunderbox mine and Otto Bore gold deposit.

Midas completed 103 AC drill holes totalling 8,237m and 22 RC holes totalling 2,559m on 30 wide-spaced drill traverses over a total of approximately 7km of strike (refer ASX announcement 29 November 2021). The program was completed on time and on budget.

Prior drilling[1] by previous explorers, mostly completed between 1994 and 2002, predominantly comprised reconnaissance rotary air blast ( RAB ) and AC drilling and successfully defined anomalous gold mineralisation along significant regional shear zones. Prior RC drilling only amounted to four holes at Ockerburry, 27 holes at Scone Stone and eight holes at Otto prospects.

Midas’ program was designed to locate areas that demonstrated favourable geological settings, alteration and pervasive anomalous gold mineralisation. Despite ground conditions, the program successfully confirmed that all three areas meet the targeted criteria and remain highly prospective.

The program provides Midas with confidence to pinpoint the position, target high-grade zones and vector from associated alteration of prospects, which essentially have had no drilling in the past 20 years.

Executive Director Nick Katris commented:

“To have hit such significant gold mineralisation in the first drill program at Weebo is a fantastic result and testament to the potential of this portion of the Yandal greenstone belt. This region has had very limited modern exploration, and is well located, surrounded by quality large-scale gold deposits.

“Given that this is first pass early-stage exploration drilling on wide spaced drill lines, to get these tenor of gold results is highly encouraging. All but one of the RC holes reported to date have assays greater than 1g/t gold, which is a great strike rate.

“We are in discussions with our drill contractors to secure a rig that will enable us to complete deeper drilling across the prospects to follow up these solid first-pass gold results.”

EXPLORATION AND GEOLOGICAL DETAIL

WEEBO GOLD PROJECT

Scone Stone Prospect

Two AC and three RC traverses were completed on the Scone Stone prospect which extends for 1,200m by up to 200m. Gold mineralisation is associated with strong albite, silica and haematite alteration, arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite hosted by faults and breccias within a 200m wide, leucocratic fine grained felsic unit. The strength of alteration and sulphide mineralisation of the felsic host is highly encouraging, the nearby Thunderbox Deposit (located along strike 27km to the south) is also associated with arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite within an albite-quartz felsic porphyry.

RC drilling comprised six 40m spaced holes on each of three 280m wide traverses spaced at 160m. Greater than 1g/t gold intercepts were made in all but one of the 14 RC holes drilled for which assays have been reported; assays are pending for four of the remaining holes.

Best gold intercepts returned include:

  • 12m @ 0.6g/t gold from 55m including 1m @ 3g/t gold from 66m in hole MDRC0006

  • 6m @ 1.3g/t gold from 11m and 6m @ 4.4g/t gold from 54m including 2m @ 12.5g/t gold from 54m in hole MDRC0009

  • 3m @ 6.7g/t gold from 43m including 1m @ 18.2g/t gold from 44m in hole MDRC0010

  • 7m @ 0.7g/t gold from 87m in hole and 29m @ 1.1g/t gold from 98m including 16m @ 1.7g/t gold from 108m in hole MDRC0012

  • 4m @ 0.7g/t gold from 6m and 1m @ 6.5g/t gold from 88m and 2m @ 1.8g/t gold from 97m in hole MDRC0013

  • 6m @ 0.8g/t gold from 6m and 5m @ 1.5g/t gold from 44m and 2m @ 0.6g/t gold from 57m and 3m @ 0.5g/t gold from 96m in hole MDRC0014

A prior trial of down hole, and surfacedipole - dipole IP showed a geophysical signature related to sulphide mineralisation at Scone Stone. Geophysics is expected to be useful in vectoring toward highergrade gold mineralisation associated with sulphides within the broad mineralised system.

Ockerburry 1 Prospect

Midas drilled 24 aircore holes on six traverses over 800m strike at the Ockerburry 1 prospect. Drilling generally confirmed the location of the broad low grade gold shear zones, gold mineralisation is associated with intensely sheared mafic rocks with silica and hematite alteration and minor quartz veining present.

The most anomalous gold intercepts included:

  • 2m @ 18.4g/t gold from 8m in hole MDAC0015

  • 9m @ 0.6g/t gold from 33m and 7m @ 0.9g/t gold from 45m including 5m @ 1.1g/t gold from 45m in hole MDAC0023

  • 24m @ 0.3g/t gold from 72m in hole MDAC0026

  • 12m @ 0.4g/t gold from 32m and 21m @ 0.2g/t gold from 51m in hole MDAC0028

  • 4m @ 0.6g/t gold from 44m and 10m @ 0.8g/t gold from 70m including 1m @ 4.7g/t gold from 76m in hole MDAC0030

The isolated high-grade intercept of 2m at 18.4g/t gold from 8m in MDAC0015 appears to be located at the interface between transported and insitu clays, proximal to a 1996 RAB drill hole, MSR789, which returned 4m at 29.9g/t gold from 8m. Both holes are east of the main mineralised shear zone and may represent an oblique offset structure target.

ASX / MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT 22 December 2021

==> picture [97 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

To date sub-economic grades have generally been returned, however, the widths, possibility of oblique offset structures and geological setting of the Ockerburry 1 mineralisation is favourable. The controls on high-grade gold mineralisation remain unclear, so deeper oriented core drilling is justified to determine the optimum drill direction and the potential for higher grade mineralisation, seen regionally.

Ockerburry 2-3 Prospect

Midas drilled 22 AC holes on nine traverses over 1,350m strike at Ockerburry 2-3 prospects. The northern 600m (Ockerburry 3), contains a number of recent anomalous gold intercepts over significant intervals, including:

  • 32m @ 0.7g/t gold from 40m including 6m @ 1.5g/t gold from 40m and 14m @ 0.7g/t gold from 52m in hole MDAC0055

  • 4m @ 0.9g/t gold from 46m and 28m @ 0.6g/t gold from 66m, including 2m @ 3.1g/t from 66m and 3m @ 1.5g/t gold from 81m in hole MDAC0059.

Prior intercepts included:

  • 34m @ 0.8g/t gold from 38m to end of hole including 10m @ 1.5g/t gold from 57m in hole MSR1560

  • 23m @ 1.0g/t gold from 63m to end of hole in hole MSR1562

  • 30m @ 0.3g/t gold from 60m in hole MSRC0153

  • 81m @ 0.3g/t gold from 42m, including 6m @ 0.9g/t gold from 51m and 9m @ 0.7g/t gold from 64m in hole MSRC0154

  • 14m @ 0.6g/t gold from 138m, including 1m @ 6.3g/t gold from 144m in hole MSRC0155

The host setting is an intensively sheared mafic unit associated with the major Ockerburry shear zone, with variable haematitic alteration, silicification and quartz veining present.

Many of the holes ended in gold mineralisation, and transport cover is 10-20m thick, highlighting the need for further infill and deeper drilling.

Midas drilling confirmed gold mineralisation at the southern half (Ockerburry 2) in several holes, however this prospect remains only partially tested due to deeper transported cover up to 65m down hole, gold intercepts included:

  • 8m @ 1.1g/t gold from 54m including 4m @ 1.7g/t gold from 54m in hole MDAC0040

  • 14m @ 0.4g/t gold from 44m in hole MDAC0041.

Ockerburry 4 Prospect

Midas completed 14 wide spaced AC holes over an area 500m by 300m at Ockerburry 4. To date anomalous gold mineralisation has been encountered at shallow depths. Anomalous gold intercepts included:

  • 10m @ 0.6g/t gold from 40m including 2m @ 1.5g/t gold from 42m in hole MDAC0069

  • 2m @ 2.3g/t gold from 60m in hole MDAC0071

Scone Stone regional targets

Midas drilled 14 AC holes on five target areas within 1.5km radius of Scone Stone. One area located 1.3km SW of the main Scone Stone prospect returned anomalous gold mineralisation associated with strong ironstone and quartz veining over broad intervals. This area (Southwest Scone) and the main Scone Stone prospect have seen little previous exploration.

Intercepts at Southwest Scone from MDAC0085 included:

  • 4m @ 0.4g/t from 32m and 6m @ 0.3g/t gold from 64m.

Prior drilling in the same area included:

  • 21m @ 0.4g/t gold from 68m to the end of hole MSR2351

  • 7m @ 0.5g/t gold from 64m in hole MSRC0181

Otto Prospect

Midas drilled 14 AC holes at Otto, of which only five holes penetrated the Permian cover, which was noted up to 105m down hole. In all, four AC holes reached a basement.

Midas drilled four shallow RC holes to obtain an understanding of the geology related to the gradient array IP and gravity anomalies previously identified.

The geological setting has been interpreted as favourable with mafic, ultramafic and granodiorite with variable shearing, silica-haematite alteration, pervasive minor sulphides and quartz veining.

Four assays are pending for the RC drilling at Otto.

To test Otto bore (and the Otto North areas - see below) effectively, a larger air capacity drill rig capable of deeper drilling is considered the best way forward.

Otto North Prospect

Otto North is located 5.6 km, along strike to the north of Otto. Midas drilled six wide-spaced AC holes on a single traverse, of which three successfully penetrated the Permian cover. Bedrock geology is favourable, comprising mafic rocks with variable shearing, quartz veining, sulphides and haematitic alteration.

One hole, MDAC0099, intercepted 6m at 0.3g/t gold, which is highly encouraging given that only 22m of bedrock was tested and a prior hole MSAC0115, located 35m east, also intercepted anomalous bedrock, including 1m at 0.6g/t gold and 1m at 0.3g/t gold, over a 9m interval immediately below transported cover to the end of the hole.

NEXT STEPS

Midas will follow up the three prospects with a larger capacity drill rig, capable of penetrating deeper into bedrock. The Company is also planning to drill any additional targets generated from recent geochemical and geophysical surveys. Further results from the drilling, including the assay results from Scone Stone and Otto are expected within the coming weeks.

Appendix B: JORC Code 2012 Edition - Table 1 For Exploration Results

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 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 representativity 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.
All drilling and sampling was undertaken in an industry
standard manner
Reverse circulation (RC) holes at Weebo were sampled
on a 1m basis with samples collected from a cone
splitter mounted on the drill rig cyclone. 1m samples
ranged from 2.0-3.5kg.
Aircore (AC) samples were collected by spear from 1m
sample piles and composited over 1m to 4m intervals.
Sample weights ranged from 1.0-3.0kg.
The independent laboratories pulverised the entire
samples for analysis as described below
Industry prepared independent standards were inserted
approximately 1 in 19 to 1 in 29 samples. Field
duplicates were inserted 1 in 19 samples.
Sample sizes are considered appropriate for the material
sampled.
The samples are considered representative and
appropriate for the types of drilling.
RC samples are appropriate for use in a mineral
resource estimate.
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 – utilising 83mm face sampling blade bits and
DTH hammer and inter-tube reverse circulation sample
return.
RC drilling - utilising 121mm face sampling DTH hammer
and inter-tube reverse circulation sample return.
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.
RC and AC samples were visually assessed for
recovery.
Samples were generally considered representative with
acceptable recovery. Any intervals having less than
optimal recovery or possible contamination were
recorded.
No sample bias was observed.
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.
The entire holes were geologically logged. Logging is
qualitative in nature.
RC sample logging is appropriate for use in a resource
estimation.
The AC results provide a good indication of the
mineralisation but are not used in resource estimation

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.
RC sampling at Weebo was, carried out by a cone
splitter on the drill rig cyclone and drill cuttings were
sampled at 1m intervals.
Aircore (AC) samples were collected by spear from 1m
sample piles and composited over 1m to 4m intervals.
Sample weights ranged from 1.0-3.0kg.
Industry prepared independent standards were inserted
approximately 1 in 19 to 1 in 29 samples. Field
duplicates were inserted 1 in 19 samples.
Sample sizes are considered appropriate for the material
sampled.
The entire samples were dried, jaw crushed and a 1kg
sub sample pulverised. Pulps were split for analysis.
Aurum Laboratories has internal QA/QC procedures to
ensure a representative sample.
The entire samples were dried, jaw crushed and the
whole sample pulverised. Pulps were split for analysis.
Bureau Veritas has internal QA/QC procedures to
ensure a representative sample.
The samples are considered representative and
appropriate for the methods of drilling.
The RC samples are appropriate for use in a resource
estimation.
The AC results provide a good indication of the
mineralisation but are not used in resource estimation
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.
The samples were submitted to commercial independent
laboratories in Perth, Australia.
At Aurum Laboratories a 50 gram sample weight was fire
assayed with lead collection and the resultant prill after
digest read for gold to 0.01 parts per million
At Bureau Veritas a 40 gram sample weight was fire
assayed with lead collection and the resultant prill after
digest read for gold to 0.01 parts per million
The techniques are considered quantitative in nature.
As discussed above certified reference standards were
inserted by the Company and the laboratory also carries
out internal standards in individual batches.
Based on QAQC, assays were considered satisfactory,
Field duplicates provide an indication of sample
variability associated with sampling techniques and
coarse gold. No alarming results were received from
field duplicates.
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.
Results have been uploaded in digital datasheets
prepared by consulting geologists prepared on site. The
results have been checked and verified.
No adjustments have been made to assay data.
Results are reported on a length weighted basis.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
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.
All locations have been presented in zone 51 GDA 1994
MGA.
RC and AC hole locations are currently located using
handheld GPS to an accuracy of 3m. DGPS surveying
will be undertaken of RC holes prior to use in a resource
estimate.
RL have not been currently recorded and will require
DGPS or similar level of survey accuracy.
The terrain drilled is nominally flat.
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 AC drill hole spacing was 40 to 80m on traverses
spaced at +/-160m and is not intended to be used for
resource estimation
The RC data spacing for Weebo was generally 40m x
160m, is not sufficient for Mineral Resource and Ore
Reserve estimation.
Sample compositing has not been applied for RC drilling
except in reporting of drill intercepts. .
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.
Drilling is believed to be approximately perpendicular to
the strike of mineralisation and the dip of mineralisation
is anticipated to be near vertical or steeply to the west.
All holes were drilled at about -60 degrees to the east.
Drill hole orientation may have exaggerated intercept
intervals and may have resulted in mineralised
structures being missed. Given the early stage of
exploration the CP is satisfied that determining the true
width of mineralised intercepts is not as critical as
defining areas containing anomalous results for further
exploration. Future follow-up drilling should focus on
understanding the orientation of mineralised structures.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure sample security.
Samples were collected by consultants and company
personnel and delivered direct to the laboratory via a
transport contractor.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
No audits or reviews of sampling techniques has been
undertaken. A review of sample QAQC is routinely
undertaken on receipt of assays.

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.
Weebo Project: Exploration licences E36/792, E36/797,
E36/798, E36/811, E36/845, E36/846, E36/860, E36/934,
E36/952 and prospecting licence PL36/1878 located east
of Leinster in Western Australia. The Company has
entered into an agreement pursuant to which it has the
option to purchase 100% legal and beneficial ownership
of the foregoing tenements, subject to satisfying a cash
payment of $600,000 and granting a 1.5% gross revenue
royalty payable to the vendors. Following completion, the
Company will assume responsibility for the payment of
the State Government royalty. All tenements are in good
standing.
There are no registered native title interests, wilderness
areas, national park or environmental impediments (other
than usual environmental and rehabilitation conditions on
which the granted tenements have been granted) over
the outlined current areas. There are no current
impediments to obtaining a license to operate in the
project areas.
There are several registered heritage sites covering
limited areas within the Weebo Project including part of
the Otto prospect.
Exploration
done by other
parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.
This announcement refers to prior exploration results.
The prior exploration is comprehensively referenced in
the Independent Geologists Report and Appendices
within the Midas Prospectus of 3 September 2021.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The Weebo Project is located within the Yilgarn Craton,
the project overlies a NW to North trending sequence of
Archaean greenstones that form part of the Norseman-
Wiluna Greenstone Belt of the Kalgoorlie Terrane. The
greenstone sequence in the project area comprises
tholeiitic and high-magnesian basalts, felsic volcanics,
interflow sediments including chert, shale and iron
formation, mafic intrusives and ultramafic rocks.
The Project is prospective for shear and vein hosted gold
mineralisation and ultramafic hosted nickel sulphide
mineralisation
Transport Tertiary to Permian sediments are common, a
significant number of the auger geochemical samples
may be from within transported Wiluna hard pan regolith.
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.
Tables 1 and 2 contain details of all drill collar location
and drill hole directional details
Tables 3 and 4 contain summaries of intercepts for all
holes that penetrated transported cover.
Relative level information is not included and remains
pending DGPS survey.
All co-ordinates refer to GDA1994 MGA Zone 51.

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.
AC intercepts are reported to a minimum cutoff of 0.2g/t
gold with an internal dilution of 4m maximum.
Intercepts of less of greater than 0.1g/t gold are included
if they include values of at least 0.2g/t gold.
RC intercepts are reported to a minimum cutoff of 0.4g/t
gold with an internal dilution of 4m maximum.
Intercepts of less of greater than 0.2g/t gold are included
if they include values of at least 0.4g/t gold.
Any higher-grade intervals exceeding 2g/t within a broad
lower grade interval are reported as subintervals.
Intercepts are length weighted averaged.
No maximum cuts have been made
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’).
The relationship between intercept widths and true
widths is unknown.
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.
Figures 1, 2 and 3 show recent AC and RC holes and
relative locations of prior drilling (subject to limitations on
positioning of prior collars). Figures 4 and 5 are cross
sections
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.
Co-ordinates for all RC and AC holes are included in
Tables 1 and 2. All recent and prior collars are shown for
the area covered by a Figures 2 and 3. For those areas
reporting is comprehensive.
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 relevant and material exploration data for the target
areas discussed, has been reported.
Areas containing deeper transported cover and saprolite
may remain poorly tested, holes. Indications of the depth
of transported cover and saprolite are included in Tables
1 and 2
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 drilling is warranted across the tenements to
improve the understanding of the mineralisation.
All relevant diagrams have been incorporated in this
report.
