SILVER SWAN NORTH GOLD PROJECT, WA

During the quarter Moho Resources Limited (ASX:MOH) (“Moho” or “the Company”) announced additional assay results from resource definition diamond drilling (DD) which infill and extend gold mineralisation at the East Sampson Dam (ESD) gold prospect on M27/263 (Figure 1).

DIAMOND DRILLING RESULTS

Assay results were received for SSMH0098, a diamond drill hole designed to clarify high grade gold mineralisation previously intersected in ESR108 and SSMH0075. SSMH0098 was sampled on a one metre basis with duplicate samples collected every 50m. Quality Control (QA/QC) reference standard and blank samples were also inserted into the sampling stream, as per industry standard. Samples were analysed at Bureau Veritas Laboratories, Perth by 40g fire assay with AAS finish.

SSMH0098 discovered a number of significant gold intercepts and, encouragingly, was able to extend modelled high grade gold mineralisation in ESR108 upwards towards the surface (Table 1, Figure 3). A number of significant structures were noted by Moho geologists and this information will be incorporated into forthcoming resource modelling by CSA Global in early 2021.

Results from SSMH0097, twin of RC hole SSMH0075, show there is a very high correlation in gold grades between the holes. The main mineralised zone intersected in SSMH0097 was 6m @ 5.63 g/t Au from 18m (including 1m @ 16.2 g/t Au from 19m & 1m @ 13.5 g/t Au from 23m) whereas in the RC hole the same geological zone assayed 7m @ 5.22 g/t Au from 19m (Figure 3). In addition, there were other significant intersections in SSMH0097 including 1m @ 2.74 g/t Au from 61m and 1m @ 2.54 g/t Au from 82m, which agrees very closely with significant intervals in SSMH0075.

Hole SSMH0096 was drilled to the south for geotechnical investigations of the preliminary pit wall. This hole was not anticipated to locate mineralisation but it is worth noting that it ended in 0.3m @ 0.21 g/t Au from 59m. This opens up the southern and south eastern section of ESD to host additional gold mineralisation that will be tested during the forthcoming RC drilling program. Encouraging results could require extension of the preliminary designed pit wall further south.

SSMH0095 was designed to twin SSMH0051 (RC hole) to confirm the high-grade mineralisation intersected in the latter (3m @ 15.18 g/t Au from 100m). The DD hole intersected 2m @ 18.0 g/t Au from 105m (including 1m @ 34.8 g/t Au from 106m) successfully demonstrating the intersection in SSMH0051 was repeatable (Figure 4).

Both SSMH0095 and SSMH0097 twinned existing RC holes as part of QA/QC protocols for forthcoming resource estimation studies. The reproducibility of the RC intercepts provides a high level of confidence in the gold mineralisation intersected in prior Moho RC drilling, which may feed into an improved resource category in these studies.

Further mineralised intervals in SSMH0098 from 63m downhole (Table 1) show a very high correlation with gold grades in adjacent holes SSMH0097, SSMH0075 and MRC011. As found elsewhere at East Sampson Dam, gold mineralisation is found in units close to the margins of the quartz feldspar porphyry body which intrudes the sedimentary/diorite sequence.

The diamond drilling successfully explored a number of interpreted structures that Moho believes may be controlling the distribution of gold mineralisation at ESD (Figure 2). An understanding of the distribution of these structures will assist future drill campaigns to locate and delineate further gold mineralisation.

EXPANDED PHASE 2 RC DRILLING PROGRAM UNDERWAY

Phase 2 of the infill resource RC drill program commenced in early December and was completed in early January 2021. This final drill program of 45 RC holes (~3,800m) aims to infill the current resource drilling density at East Sampson Dam as well as test for mineralised extensions to the north and south where it remains open (Figure 4). A number of deeper holes have also been designed to test the potential for mineralised stacked shoots adjacent to the porphyry, such as PH10 (Figure 3).

SURFACE GEOCHEMICAL PROGRAM INCREASES PROSPECTIVITY AT SILVER SWAN NORTH

Infill and extension surface geochemical samples were collected from approximately 30cm below surface on either 200m x 40m or 200m x 80m spaced grids. The grids were designed to infill and extend historic auger geochemical data, which when combined with the new data give an effective spacing of 100m x 40m. A total of 2661 samples (including QA/QC samples) were submitted to the laboratory for gold and, in selective areas, base metal analyses.

As a quality check of the historical gold auger geochemical data, Moho’s technical team repeated sections of three historical traverses collecting 54 samples. A comparison of the duplicate results with historical data shows there is a very high correlation between the two sets of data. The validation of the historical data provides confidence to Moho of this extensive gold anomalism.

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

An interpretation of the combined data highlights a 2.2km long (Figure 5), continuous +25 ppb gold geochemical anomaly that extends from east of ESD to 300m north of the Tyrells gold prospect. Within this zone is a highly significant 1km long core of +75ppb gold. The Tyrells prospect lies within this core and has a historic recorded sample point of 423ppb gold. Limited historical RAB drilling around this sample point intersected 4m @ 8.58g/t Au from 44m in GINB 758. Further follow up drilling is required.

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

As previously announced[1] , the potential acquisition of additional tenements through option agreements along strike of the M27/263 has substantially enhanced Moho’s ground holding in the region. The new surface geochemistry highlights the potential of M27/488 with the highest gold value of 452ppb recorded on this tenement (Figure 5). Prior drilling by Mt Kersey Mining on this tenement located gold mineralisation associated with an intrusive porphyry. This geological setting is apparently very similar to the geology of the ESD gold prospect, where gold is spatially related to quartz porphyry intruding a mafic and sediment package.

The new data provides Moho with high quality walk-up air core drill targets, which is scheduled for Q1/Q2 2021.

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

BURRACOPPIN GOLD EXPLORATION, WA

During the quarter Moho announced that drilling was due to recommence in January 2021 at the Crossroads gold/silver prospect. The Crossroads prospect is part of Moho’s Burracoppin Gold Project and is located in the WA wheatbelt, about 22km west of the Edna May gold mine (Figure 7).

In June 2020, the Company reported assay results of individual 1.0 metre samples from the Company’s maiden aircore drill program at the Crossroads prospect[2] . Gold/silver mineralisation was intersected in bedrock with up to 0.61 g/t Au and 5.53 g/t Ag in bottom of hole (BOH) samples. The gold mineralisation is associated with other pathfinder elements identified as silver, arsenic, antimony, tellurium and bismuth.

The gold/silver mineralisation identified to date at the Crossroads prospect is open to the south, east and at depth, and is located on the northern margin of a pronounced gravity low that may represent a felsic intrusion.

In September 2020 Moho submitted an application for co-funded drilling assistance to test the mineralisation and the possibility ofo its association with an Intrusive Mineral System at the Crossroads prospect. In November 2020 Moho was notified that it had been awarded a co-funded drilling grant of up to $147,526 from the WA Government as part of its Exploration Incentive Scheme.

Moho’s Interest in Empress Springs Tenements

On 27 July 2016 the Company entered into a farm-in joint venture agreement with IGO Newsearch Pty Ltd (formerly known as Independence Newsearch Pty Ltd) (as amended on 6 April 2018) (INPL) a wholly owned subsidiary of IGO Limited (formerly known as Independence Group NL) pursuant to which the Company may earn up to a 70% interest in EP25208, EPM25209 and EPM25210, within the Empress Springs Project, in two stages:

  • (a) (Earn-in Right): the Company may:

  • (i) earn a 51% interest in the tenements by expending $1,000,000 on exploration activities by 27 July 2019; and

  • (ii) in the event that the 51% interest is earned, the Company has an additional right to earn a further 19% interest in the tenements by expending a further $1,400,000 within 4 years of acquiring its 51% joint venture interest.

  • (b) (Formation of Joint Venture): on and from the date on which the Company earns a 51% interest in the tenements, the parties shall form an unincorporated joint venture for the purpose of exploring, and if warranted, developing and mining the tenements.

Following formation of the joint venture, the Company is proposed to be manager of the joint venture;

  • (c) (Free-carried Interest or Buy-back): In the event that the Company elects to earn the additional 19% interest, INPL’s joint venture interest is free carried until completion of a pre-feasibility study.

  • (d) (Buy Back on Potential Mining Area (PMA)): Upon completion of a pre-feasibility study on a PMA, INPL may elect to contribute to the joint venture to the extent of its interest, convert its interest to a 10% free-carried interest or buy-back a 21% interest in the joint venture in that PMA. The consideration payable for the buyback will be based on the market value of the tenements or otherwise the value of 3.5 times the expenditure incurred by the Company on the tenements.

In the event that the buy-back is completed, INPL will be manager of the joint venture on the PMA. Following the buy-back, the Company will be entitled to contribute to the work programme to the extent of its interest or convert to a 30% free-carried interest in respect of the PMA.

The Company will remain manager of the remaining tenements outside the PMA and it will be required to contribute to the work programmes in proportion to its interest at the time.

On 30[th] January 2019, Moho notified INPL that it had met the initial Earn-in on the tenements at Empress Springs under the terms of the Letter Agreement (details below). Moho also notified INPL that it had elected to proceed with the exploration to earn an additional 19% interest in the tenements in accordance with the Empress Springs Letter Agreement.

In February 2019 Moho applied for additional highly prospective ground, mostly adjacent to the Empress Springs Project. This ground has recently been granted and falls under the same conditions as the initial Empress Springs tenements. The Empress Springs Project comprise 11 EPMs covering 2384 km[2] .

  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 $2,964k. 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 2018, 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 initially earn a 70% interest and then subsequently acquire the remaining 30% interest in M27/263 at Silver Swan North from Odin Metals Ltd, 51% interest in EPMs 25208-10 at Empress Springs for IGO Group Ltd and met its farmin condition for the 70% interest in E70/4688 at Burracoppin from IGO Group Ltd.

  1. Actual Administration costs are higher than the use of funds budget 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.

  2. Expenses of the Offer paid for the period are showing as being below the use of funds budget by $81k due to costs paid pre IPO (refer Note 1).

  1. 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.

  2. 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 conjunn ction with CSIRO, Curtin University and external consultants.

  3. Funds raised pursuant to the Loyalty Option Entitlement Issue completed in April 2019 to raise $71k, Placement in November 2019 to raise $382k and in May 2020 to raise $797k, a Share Purchase Plan to raise $1,112k in September 2020 and a Placement in December 2020 to raise $1,686k. 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 capital raisings were $109k.
