RC Drill Program at East Sampson Dam

During the quarter the Company announced assay results from its second drilling program at the East Sampson Dam gold prospect on M27/263 undertaken during late November 2019 (Figure 1).

Twenty-nine reverse circulation holes were drilled for a total of 2,600m (refer to Figure 2). Drill intersections with assay results >0.5 g/t Au are shown in Table 1 and based on one metre samples. Significant intersections included:

SSMH0077: 2m @ 12.33 g/t Au from 88m Incl. 1m @ 22.8 g/t Au from 89m (EOH) SSMH0051: 15m @ 4.71 g/t Au from 88m Incl. 3m @ 15.18 g/t Au from 100m SSMH0063: 2m @ 17.0 g/t Au from 73m SSMH0062: 5m @ 10.36 g/t Au from 59m Incl. 2m @ 24.61 g/t Au from 56m SSMH0075: 9m @ 4.28 g/t Au from 19m Incl. 3m @ 3.37 g/t Au from 19m and 1m @ 24.3 g/t Au from 25m SSMH0056: 11m @ 3.11 g/t Au from 65m Incl. 1m @ 17.7 g/t Au from 72m SSMH0067: 2m @ 3.67 g/t Au from 58m Incl. 1m @ 6.31 g/t Au from 58m SSMH0068: 2m @ 5.40 g/t Au from 88m Incl. 1m @ 10.30 g/t Au from 88m SSMH0054: 6m @ 2.39 g/t Au from 81m SSMH0070: 5m @ 2.38 g/t Au from 57m Incl. 3m @ 3.16 g/t Au from 58m

Figures 3 to 6 are selected cross sections going south to north and show a number of high-grade intersections which have added considerably to the mineralisation inventory. The nature of the drill results over a 225m strike length supports previous drilling in this area which has intersected high grade gold mineralisation at the contact between a quartz porphyry and felsic volcanic units and which is often overlain by lower-grade supergene mineralisation. On the most northerly section drilled (Figure 6) ESMH0077 ended in 1m @ 22 .8 g/t Au which may be a fault offset of mineralisation located to the south.

Further drilling is planned by Moho for Q2 2020 to further define the limits of gold mineralisation at the East Sampson Dam Prospect and to test new target areas within the Silver Swan North Project area. The current round of drilling was successful in locating new areas of mineralisation (eg SSMH0056, section 5) which will be explored further during the next program.

East Sampson Dam Scoping Study

Investigations to date have provided the Board with confidence to progress the scoping study for mining gold on the East Sampson Dam prospect. It is anticipated that work currently underway and planned to be completed in 2020, including infill RC and diamond drilling, will significantly advance the project, subject to any disruption by the COVID-19 virus.

CSA Global (CSA) has been engaged to undertake geological modelling of gold mineralisation at the East Sampson Dam gold project. This work will identify additional work requirements to advance the project so that an appropriate level of JORC Mineral Resource can be defined. The JORC Resources will provide a firm basis for planning optimum mining and gold recovery operations for input into the scoping study and to determine likely key financial outcomes.

Desktop mine project evaluation by Moho’s consultant mining engineer Minero is ongoing. Minecomp Pty Ltd, a Kalgoorlie-based mine planning company, has been engaged to undertake first pass Whittle optimisation using preliminary grade blocks assessed and provided by CSA, to determine the likely mining inventory for the project.

Metallurgical test work will be undertaken shortly on RC samples (Figure 7) to provide information for toll treatment by Carbon-in-Leach and possible on-site heap leaching. This work includes studies focussing on rheology and crush size sensitivity, agglomeration/percolation tests and gold liberation and recovery characteristics.

Gold Exploration at Silver Swan North

Exploration at Silver Swan North is focussed on identifying further gold mineralisation, particularly in the vicinity of the East Sampson Dam prospect on granted mining lease M27/263.

==> picture [612 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

A Program of Works will be lodged shortly for air core drilling in Q2-3 2020 along the 2 km long East Sampson Dam - Tyrells zone. Also in H2 2020, Moho will assess gold anomalism within M27/263 immediately west of the East Sampson Dam prospect, and other anomalous areas within Moho’s 100% owned tenements (E27/528 and P27/2232), including the Yalumba, Happs and Hugo prospects (refer to Figure 3).

COVID-19 Update

Moho’s field exploration activities at the project have slowed during Q1 2020 due to COVID-19 access issues and compliance constraints. Government and company protocols are now in place which will enable Moho to continue with drilling and field activities in Q2 and Q3 2020. Moho acknowledges and supports the measures taken by the Commonwealth and State Governments to mitigate the spread and effects of the COVID -19 virus. While these measures may cause some delays in coming months, the Company aims to progress its plans (to the extent permitted) to commence mining operations at East Sampson Dam in a timeframe which is both achievable and safe for our staff, our contractors and the community.

Moho also appreciates the help of the Association of Mining and Exploration Companies (AMEC) in keeping us and other member companies fully informed about current travel restrictions and access to our tenements, and for ensuring the concerns of the exploration and mid-tier sectors of the mining industry are heard by governments and regulators.

Next steps

  • Preliminary metallurgical test work on RC samples (April 2020)

  • Preliminary reports by consultant mining engineer and CSA Global (April/May 2020)

  • Preliminary report by Whittle design consultant Minecomp Pty Ltd (May 2020)

  • Infill RC and diamond drilling at East Sampson Dam (Q2 2020)

  • Detailed metallurgical test work (Q2 2020)

  • Maiden JORC Mineral Resource (Q2 2020)

  • Scoping Study (early Q3 2020)

  • Ongoing exploration focussed on extending gold mineralisation at Silver Swan North Project:

  • Air core drilling along East Sampson Dam - Tyrells gold auger anomaly (Q2/3 2020)

  • Assessment for drilling other gold anomalism immediately west of the East Sampson Dam prospect and anomalous areas (Yalumba, Happs and Hugo prospects) within Moho’s 100% owned tenements with a view to drilling (H2 2020)

Moho’s Interest in Silver Swan North Tenements

Moho is the registered 100% owner of granted tenements E27/528, P27/2232, P27/2390, E27/613 and the applicant for ELA27/623 and ELA27/626.

In July 2015 Moho entered into a farm-in and joint venture agreement with Odin Metals Ltd (ASX:ODM, then Lawson Gold Ltd) to earn up to 70% interest in M27/263 and E27/345. Since then E27/345 has been exhaustively explored by Moho and has been relinquished. During the quarter Moho announced it had increased its interest in M27/263 to 70%.

BURRACOPPIN GOLD EXPLORATION

==> picture [491 x 501] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 9: Location of Burracoppin Gold Project in relation to regional geology, gold occurrences and mine infrastructure (source: DMIRS GeoVIEW)

During the quarter Moho completed its first aircore drill program to follow up gold and arsenic anomalies on the Crossroads prospect at the Burracoppin gold project, located 22 km west of the Edna May gold mine in WA (Figure 9).

==> picture [612 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

37 reconnaissance air core holes were drilled across coincident gold and arsenic anomalies in soils and auger drill samples during March 2020 (Figures 9 and 10). The air core drilling also traversed a north – south structure interpreted by Moho’s consultant geophysicist and a re-evaluated EM anomaly. Lithologies noted during drilling included biotite schist/amphibolite, granite and quartzite.

==> picture [491 x 250] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 9: Aircore drilling at Crossroads prospect with ‘Zero Impact Rig’, Burracoppin Gold Project

On 9 April 2020 Moho announced that anomalous bedrock gold had been intersected in 4m composites, with assays up to 0.21g/t Au and 0.96g/t Ag and two holes ending in > 0.1g/t Au.

Two styles of gold anomalism were noted: gold in the surface regolith from 0-4m downhole, and bedrock gold anomalism associated with felsic gneiss (refer to stacked E-W drill sections in Figure 11). Scattered silver and arsenic anomalism are also evident (Table 1).

Lithologies observed during drilling appear to dip gently to the east and included felsic gneiss, biotite schist/amphibolite, granite and quartzite. Samples were submitted for petrographic identification and analysis by consulting geologists who have detailed knowledge and expertise from the Tampia deposit near Narembeen, also in the wheatbelt of WA.

Gold anomalism is strongest in the southeast of the prospect and individual metre samples were submitted to SGS to clarify the tenor of Au across the interval and determine if grades are increasing with depth.

The assay data were submitted to Moho’s consultant geochemist for review. All samples were submitted to SGS Perth for (40g / ICP - MS/OES); Au, Ag, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Cd, Co, Mo, Pb, Sb, Se, Sn, Ta, Te, Th, U, W, Al, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, P, S, Ti, V, Zn.

EMPRESS SPRINGS EXPLORATION

Moho was awarded a grant of $112,000 for a regional hydrogeochemical survey at the Empress Springs project (Figure 13). The grant is part of the Collaborative Exploration Incentive (CEI) program by the Queensland Government and administered by the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy (DNRME). The CEI program does not require Moho to match this CEI grant funds.

==> picture [472 x 464] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 13: Moho’s tenements at Empress Springs Project in relation to regional geology

The CEI grant is to be used for a borehole hydro-geochemistry survey in partnership with the CSIRO. The funds will enable Moho to sample and comprehensively analyse waters beneath the cover rocks from existing water bores spread throughout Moho’s eleven Empress Springs tenements (Figure 14). Moho will also sample water in holes drilled by Moho in 2018 and 2019 which located evidence of four separate mineralising systems within the Empress Springs project.

Figure 14: Location of water bores to be sampled by Moho in conjunction with CSIRO at Empress Springs

The survey will be carried out in conjunction with the CSIRO to locate chemical signatures evidencing large mineralised systems hidden beneath the cover rock sequences and orient and focus exploration towards finding new mineralisation in the area. The CSIRO will contribute their technology and considerable background data on water sampling and analyses in the region and provide the equipment, training and supervision for the sampling program. The chemical analyses for a comprehensive suite of elements will be performed by or under the direction of the CSIRO and the resulting data will be assessed by Moho and the CSIRO using their computer machine learning technology. The field and analytical program is expected to commence when corona virus travel restrictions are lifted.

Use of Funds

In line with obligations under ASX Listing Rule 5.3.4, Moho Resources Limited provides the following information with respect to its Use of Funds Statement set out in its Prospectus dated 10 August 2018 and its actual expenditure since ASX admission on 7 November 2018.

Remaining Cash 545

Notes:

  1. Cash balance on 10 August 2018 varies to cash balance on 7 November 2018 due to payments towards expenses of the Offer, exploration expenditure and administration expenses over this period.

  2. Actual Mineral Exploration expenditure currently exceeds the use of funds budget by $1,549k. Since its IPO the Company has accelerated its exploration program on its Projects. The additional work included geophysical surveys (SQUID EM and gravity) and aircore and RC drilling for nickel and gold at Silver Swan North, and soil geochemistry surveys, geophysical work (gravity surveys, seismic data reprocessing), RC and aircore drilling and associated age dating, petrology and interpretation by expert consultants at Empress Springs. The Company has also acquired additional tenure adjacent to all three Project areas, resulting in additional expenditure not contemplated as part of the use of funds budget. Ongoing assessment of the Company’s mineral interests or new opportunities may lead to changes in the levels of expenditure.

Moho used its existing cash (refer to Note 1) to commence its accelerated exploration expenditure in November 2019, enabling Moho to meet expenditure commitments associated with farmin conditions and compliance by the Department of Mines and Natural Resources in Queensland and the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety in Western Australia. As a result, Moho has met farmin conditions to earn 70% interest in M27/263 at Silver Swan North from Odin Metals Ltd and 51% interest in EPMs 25208-10 at Empress Springs for IGO Group Ltd.

==> picture [612 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

  1. Actual Working Capital expenses of $268k are materially consistent with use of funds budget on a pro-rata basis*.

  2. Actual Administration costs of $1,442k are higher than the use of funds budget on a pro-rata basis of approximately $1,186k* due to the additional administration costs incurred as a result of the Company’s accelerated exploration program and corporate costs associated with the Company’s post IPO capital raising’s.

  3. Expenses of the Offer paid for the period are showing as being below the use of funds budget by $82k due to costs paid pre IPO (refer Note 1).

  4. In July 2019 the Company invested $500k in St George Mining Limited to gain exposure to St George’s nickel exploration activities in Western Australia. In the months following the investment, St George reported favourable exploration results which saw a significant increase in their share price and as a result Moho divested its holdings for a realised profit of $238k. Moho also undertook desktop studies resulting in a number of exploration licences applications around St George’s nickel project during this time, all of which have since been withdrawn.

  5. As a result of the Company’s overall exploration strategy to improve and refine its mineral discovery process, the Company received refundable tax offsets of $1,293k (net of costs). The R&D programs were undertaken in conjunction with CSIRO, Curtin University and external consultants.

  6. Funds raised pursuant to the Loyalty Option Entitlement Issue completed in April 2019 to raise $71k and the Placement to professional and sophisticated investors in November 2019 to raise $382k. Proceeds from the capital raisings were used towards exploration on the Company’s gold projects at Empress Springs and Burracoppin and nickel sulphide / gold exploration at Silver Swan. Direct costs associated with the offers were $40k.

  7. Pro-rata of 75% based on Moho being admitted for approximately 6 quarters.
