ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

14 January 2021

ONGOING DATA REVIEW HIGHLIGHTS HIGH-GRADE POTENTIAL AT BOTTLE DUMP

Odyssey Gold Limited (ASX:ODY) (“Odyssey” or “Company”) is pleased to advise that ongoing collation and review of historical data for the high-grade Tuckanarra and Stakewell gold exploration projects continues to enhance their excellent prospectivity.

A comprehensive review of the extensive historical exploration data is ongoing, and has uncovered a number of previously unannounced high-grade drilling intercepts at Bottle Dump (Tuckanarra) , which remain unmined, including:

  • 30m @ 3.7g/t Au (BTD100 from 87m)

  • 13m @ 8.5g/t Au (BT128 from 15m)

  • 8m @ 10.3g/t Au (BT123 from 88m)

  • 2m @ 15.8/t Au (BT107 from 81m)

  • 8m @ 6.3g/t Au (BT138 from 80m)

  • 12m @ 4.5g/t Au (BT108 from 69m)

These drill results significantly enhance the down plunge potential at Bottle Dump.

Executive Director, Matt Syme commented:

“The Odyssey team is very pleased that our review and modelling of the extensive historical exploration dataset continues to enhance the potential at Tuckanarra.

“Bottle Dump is emerging as an exciting, high priority target given the down plunge potential revealed by these and earlier results.

“The Company is looking forward to further results from the ongoing review and collation of historic exploration data as well as the commencement of our maiden drill program in coming weeks.”

OVERVIEW

The acquisition of the Tuckanarra and Stakewell gold projects positions Odyssey to become the premier gold exploration company in the Murchison Goldfields. This historic goldfield still delivers major production from Westgold Resources Limited and Ramelius Resources Limited and has the potential for substantial discoveries utilising modern exploration, highlighted by the recent success of Musgrave Minerals Limited and Spectrum Metals Limited.

Figure 1: Tuckanarra & Stakewell Project Location

Odyssey now controls a highly prospective footprint in the Meekatharra-Cue belt, with over 30km of strike of highly fertile banded iron formation (“ BIF ”) and greenstones, with extensive gold mining history and outstanding exploration potential. Both the Tuckanarra and Stakewell projects have a number of excellent drill targets based on previous mining and drilling which demonstrate high-grade mineralisation continuing at depth and/or along strike.

==> picture [167 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

LOCAL GEOLOGY AND MINERALISATION

The projects are within the Meekatharra-Wydgee Greenstone belt within the north-eastern Murchison domain covering Archean basement rocks, situated within the “Meekatharra structural zone”, a major regional, north-east trending shear dominated zone, about 50 to 60km wide, stretching from Meekatharra through the Cue region as far south as Mount Magnet. The major shear zone is dominated by north and northeast trending folds and shears.

The Tuckanarra greenstone belt (which hosts both the Tuckanarra and Stakewell projects) comprises a series of mafic and inter-banded mafic and iron formations, with a variable component ‐ of clastic sediments (greywackes and minor shales). The sequence is folded into a south westerly plunging anticline with a well-developed axial planar cleavage and numerous fractures, beddingparallel faults, and shears. The belt extends northwards to Stakewell and east to the Reedy’s mining centre.

TUCKANARRA GOLD PROJECT

Odyssey acquired an 80% interest in the Tuckanarra Gold Project from Canadian-listed gold producer, Monument Mining Limited (TSV-V: MMY) (“ Monument ”) in late 2020.

Tuckanarra, consists of one mining licence, two exploration licences and seven prospecting licences covering a total of 52km[2] , ideally located along the Great Northern Highway between Cue and Meekatharra.

The Tuckanarra goldfield historically produced approximately 27,000oz at an average grade of approximately 49g/t Au in the early 1900s and Metana Minerals NL subsequently mined approximately 95,000oz at an average grade of 2.8g/t Au from a number of small pits between 19881994.

Each of the four main historical pits at Tuckanarra (Bottle Dump, Maybelle, Cable and Bollard) boasts high-grade mineralisation open along strike and/or at depth. Numerous historical shafts point to additional targets not fully tested with modern exploration.

In addition, as a result of the acquisition, Odyssey has access to Monument’s 300,000tpa Burnakura gold process plant located 25km from Odyssey’s projects. In the event the Company generates mineable ore reserves, Odyssey will preferentially process ore at Burnakura, subject to commercial terms.

==> picture [167 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

At acquisition, Tuckanarra came with an extensive drilling and geochemical database with over 2,949 drill holes for 110,231m (average depth 37.4m) and a database of 6,940 soils/rock samples. Only 1% of holes are deeper than 100m. Additionally, there is a detailed airborne magnetic survey over the area which will aid in structural targeting.

Historical (unmined) drill intersections (as previously announced) include:

  • 5m @ 156g/t Au (PAC142 from 6m) including 1m @ 776g/t Au from 6m - Drogue

  • 28m @ 6g/t Au (PRC004 from 35m) including 10m @ 15g/t Au from 35m - Cable

  • 7m @ 67g/t Au (92TRC0334 from 43m) including 5m @ 94g/t Au from 43m - Cable

  • o 3m @ 36g/t Au (PAC086 from 15m) - Cable

  • 5m @ 42g/t Au (92TRC0220 from 51m) including 2m @ 102g/t Au from 51m - Cable

Figure 5: Images from the eastern end of the Bottle Dump pit showing the visual BIF mineralisation

Bottle Dump is the eastern most pit at Tuckanarra. The gold mineralisation is hosted within a subvertical band of sulphidic sediments and BIF that trends in an east – west direction. Mining here has produced a large open pit to a depth of about 70m and the drilling beneath the current pit floor suggests that a significant high-grade shoot plunges steeply to the east at the eastern end of the pit and potentially also to the west. The thickness and tenor of this shoot makes it a very attractive drill target. Previous mining ceased in mineralisation with intercepts including:

  • 16m @ 3.8g/t Au (MBRC0035 from 56m)

  • o 18m @ 4.9g/t Au (MBRC0038 from 54m)

Newly identified Intercepts

A detailed review of historical exploration reports over the Bottle Dump deposit has identified a number of high-grade drill results that have not been previously announced. Significantly, these results indicate that there is strong potential for the high-grade Bottle Dump mineralisation to be open along plunge to the east, and the west (Figures 6 to 9). Significant results include:

  • 30m @ 3.7g/t Au (BTD100 from 87m)

  • 13m @ 8.5g/t Au (BT128 from 15m); including 4m @ 25.3g/t (from 90m)

  • 8m @ 10.3g/t Au (BT123 from 88m); including 4m @ 18.0g/t (from 91m)

  • 2m @ 15.8/t Au (BT107 from 81m); including 2m @ 15.8g/t (from 81m)

  • 8m @ 6.3g/t Au (BT138 from 80m); including 3m @ 13.6g/t (from 85m)

  • 12m @ 4.5g/t Au (BT108 from 69m); including 4m @ 9.1g/t (from 71m)

As shown in the long and cross sections (Figures 6 to 9) these results indicate strong potential for high-grade plunge extensions of the Bottle Dump deposit. A detailed review of the exploration along the eastern trend from Bottle Dump indicates that historical drilling was typically targeted to a vertical depth of approximately 40m; leaving significant potential for mineralisation to be targeted beneath any depleted weathered profile.

WORK PROGRAMS PLANNED

Odyssey plans to test the significant potential for the discovery of BIF-related lode and vein-hosted gold mineralisation and other potential for additional lateritic deposits at both Tuckanarra and Stakewell.

The Company plans to utilise modern exploration techniques and deeper drilling to target mineralisation along trend, and down plunge of known deposits (like methods used in the recent success of Musgrave Minerals Limited and Spectrum Metals Limited), as well as using recently re-processed detailed magnetics to target greenfield opportunities. Initial investigations also indicate that high-grade mineralisation is associated with pyrrhotite enrichment in the BIF units and that downhole EM will be a credible targeting tool.

Work underway to develop the targeting profile for the Tuckanarra and Stakewell projects in the near term includes:

  • continued confirmation of the drill database through on-ground work and reference to historical reports;

  • aquisition of high-resolution magnetics in the area;

  • potential sub audio magnetics ground geophysical survey;

  • an updated 3D structural targeting model of the region;

  • re-interpretation of soil sampling data including potential infill lines;

  • a target ranking exercise over the area; and

  • re-logging and re-assaying of drill core and samples where appropriate.

Odyssey Gold’s maiden drill program is scheduled to commence in Q1 2021, with planning, contract tendering and permitting well advanced.

APPENDIX 2 - JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

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 (eg 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.
Drilling results pertaining to the Project have been completed by
several previous explorers in the region.
Sampling methods employed in the projects assessed include soil
sampling and rock-chip sampling, as well as drilling (various
methods including RC, diamond and RAB).
Historical sampling has been documented in old reports and
government records (available on WAMEX) with key reports
reviewed by the Competent Person. The location and tenor of
historical drill records cannot be absolutely verified until key drill
holes have been reviewed and collars located on the ground. It is
uncertain as to how much key exploration information will be re-
verifiable past the current exploration reports.
The sampling has been carried out on air core (AC), Rotary Air
Blast (RAB), Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond (DDH)
drilling techniques at the Tuckanarra Project (Project). A total of
408 AC (11,783m), 1,912 RAB (67,777m), 766 RC (35,505m) and
19 DDH (1,460m) holes are present in the Tuckanarra Project
database.
The new historical data reported in the current announcement has
been collected from original company reports and data which
were submitted to DMIRS and available on the WAMEX website.
A search of WAMEX reports located additional drilling at the
Bottle Dump and Maybelle deposits that was not previously
compiled into the database. In 1994-5 Gold Mines Australia
(GMA) drilled 143 RAB holes for 7,535m. 42 RC holes for 1699m
and 3 DDH for 198m which have now been included in the
company’s database. Records for newly acquired historical data
have been compiled from reports obtained on the WAMEX
website and checked against either reported laboratory lab
results or compiled logs, with cross-checks against historical
sections.
The exploration data is considered suitable for current reporting
purposes and exploration targeting, however further work would
be required to verify the data suitable for inclusion in potential
future project reviews of resource estimations.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representation and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
The collar locations of the GMA drill holes were surveyed on a
local grid. Sampling was carried out under the GMA protocols and
QAQC procedures which are understood to have been industry
standard practice at the time. Unknown for historical drilling except
what was recorded in the WAMEX reports. See further details
below.
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 (eg ‘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 (eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
The GMA RC holes samples were collected at 1m intervals through
a rig mounted riffle splitter. The diameter of the Diamond holes
was NQ. Core was marked up and cut along the orientation line
with a diamond saw.
The GMA RAB samples were collected by scoop at 4 meter
intervals. Samples were assayed by Aqua regia digest with AAS
finish.

Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic,
etc) and details (eg 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).
GMA Diamond drill holes were completed with NQ standard tube
and drill core was cut into halves, with one half core submitted for
analysis at intervals on geological intervals.
Drill
sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
The majority of samples were understood to be dry. Ground water
ingress occurred in some holes at rod change, but overall the
holes were kept dry. Typically, drilling operators ensured water
was lifted from the face of the hole at each rod change to ensure
water did not interfere with drilling and to make sure samples were
collected dry. RC recoveries were visually estimated, and
recoveries recorded in the log as a percentage. Recovery of the
samples was good, generally estimated to be full, except for some
sample loss at the collar of the hole. Diamond recoveries were
logged at approximately +95%.
Further investigation is required to assess core recovery from
available historical drill holes; and will be undertaken after
acquisition of the project if core is available.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.

Not recorded for 1995 GMA drilling.
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.
No relationship between recovery and grade has been identified
to date in the data review stage.
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.
Records available indicate that logging completed by geologists,
formerly employed by various companies working on the Project,
is at a level sufficient to generate maps, plans and sections found
in company reports.
All chips and drill core were geologically logged by GMA geologists
and independent geologists, using the company geological

GMA RC samples were sent to the GMA Reedy Laboratory and
mineralized samples were sent to the GMA Laboratory in Perth
for analysis by Aqua Regia digest/AAS.finish. Checks of
mineralized samples were carried out at the GMA laboratory
using the AAS method and Fire Assay.
The diamond core (NQ) was logged by company geologists and
mineralised intervals were marked up for cutting. The core was
then cut along the orientation line using a diamond saw and sent
to the GMA Perth lab for analysis. The samples were then
crushed and split with the reject stored for use in metallurgical
testwork. The split samples were then pulverised and then
assayed using aqua regia digest with AAS finish.
All holes in the GMA RAB program were sampled at 4m intervals
using a scoop with intersections over 0.20 g/t Au being resampled
at one meter intervals. These samples were analysed at the GMA
Reedy laboratory and at the Amdel laboratory in Meekatharra
using Aqua Regia digest with an AAS finish.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representation of
samples.
No detailed records of assaying QAQC is available and it is not
possible to comment absolutely on the quality of assaying work
undertaken. The work carried out by previous workers used
reputable assay laboratories within the region and it is
reasonable to assume that the assay results stated in the
exploration reports are indicative of mineralisation styles in the
area. It is possible that further information can be sourced in the
future. Checks of mineralised samples were also carried out by
the GMA laboratory using the Au-3 AAS method and the Au-6 fire
assay method.

during the early stages of the project. Several drillhole collars
have been identified in the field which confirm the collar positions
to a reasonable to moderate level of accuracy at this early stage.
At the prospect scale the quality of data is currently considered
acceptable for exploration purposes. Further investigation and
validation will be undertaken as work programs progress.

The author is unaware of how the AC and RC data was captured
in the field, but it is noted that original logs are included in multiple
previous historical exploration reports – these logs are
handwritten onto pre-formed sheets. Diamond core logs were by
hand and transferred electronically into excel spreadsheets and
imported into an Access database.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. No assay data was adjusted.
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.
All GMA hole collar locations were surveyed by a registered
Surveyor on a local grid. It is unknown what group managed the
survey function. Field work in 2020 will focus on picking up drill
collars in the field for verification purposes.

Specification of the grid system used. The project currently uses the MGA94, Zone 50 grid system.
Previous workers also used AMG Zone 50.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. The site topographic surveys including the pit surveys match well
with the drill hole collars. Detailed aerial photography over the
region has aided on locating drillhole collars.
Data
spacing
and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. The data density is sufficient to test the style of mineralisation at
the Project with respect to exploration targeting. Data spacing
range from 100’s meters to sub 20m.
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.
Further work is required at the Project to test for extension of
mineralisation potential and verification of historical collars. Some
drilling is on a spacing which is sufficient to test the grade
continuity of mineralisation for this style of mineralisation. The
current data set is considered potentially appropriate for use in a
future Mineral Resource providing further drilling is completed.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. GMA RC samples collected were one meter composites and RAB
samples at 4m intervals using a scoop with intersections over
0.20 g/t Au being resampled at one meter intervals. GMA
diamond core was understood to have been cut and sampled to
geological 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.
It is considered the orientation of the bulk of the drilling and
sampling suitably captures the dominant “structure” of the style of
mineralisation at Tuckanarra.
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.
This is not currently considered material. The bulk of the
intercepts appear to be orthogonal to the mineralisation +/- 25
degrees unless otherwise stated in the intercepts table. Further
work will be undertaken to analyse this in the future as exploration
works progress.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security. Unknown for GMA and historical data.
Audits or

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
Sampling and assaying techniques are considered to have been
of industry-standard at the time. No specific audits or reviews
have been reviewed as part of this review.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The Project area is located within the Meekatharra-Wydgee
Greenstone belt within the north-eastern Murchison Domain.
The majority of greenstones within the Meekatharra-Wydgee
belt have been stratigraphically placed within the Polelle Group
and the Norie Group of the Murchison Supergroup.
The Project area covers Archean basement rocks assigned to
the 2815-2805 Ma basal Norie group of the Murchison
Supergroup, which covers the eastern margin of the
Meekatharra-Wydgee greenstone belt. The Norie group
comprises a thick succession of pillowed and massive tholeiitic
basalts of the Muroulli Basalt, and conformably overlying and
mafic schist and felsic volcanoclastics with interbedded BIF and
felsic volcanic rocks of the Yaloginda Formation (Van
Kranendonket al,2013). Theserocks arefolded around the

south- plunging Besley Anticline. Adjacent to these rocks are the
mafic sequences of the Meekatharra Formation (Polelle Group).
Granitoids in the Project area comprise of the Jungar Suite and
Annean Supersuite to the east and the Munarra Monzogranite
of the Tuckanarra Suite to the west. The Jungar Suite comprises
of
foliated
to
strongly
sheared
K-feldspar-porphyritic
monzogranites. These rocks are characterized by strong shear
fabrics that suggest they may have been emplaced during, or
just before, shearing. The Annean Supersuite includes
hornblende tonalite and monzogranitic rocks. The Tuckanarra
Suite consists of strongly foliated and locally magmatically
layered granodiorite to monzogranitic rocks.
The Project is situated within the ‘Meekatharra structural zone’,
a major regional, NE-trending shear dominated zone, about 50
to 60km wide, stretching from Meekatharra through the Cue
region as far south as Mount Magnet. This major shear zone is
dominated by north and northeast-trending folds and shears
(e.g. Kohinoor shear). The Mt Magnet fault is the major east-
bounding structure of the Meekatharra structural zone.
The mineralised zones of the Tuckanarra Gold Project are
located in the Tuckanarra greenstone belt comprising a series
of mafic and inter-banded mafic and iron formations, with a
variable component of clastic sediments, (greywackes and
minor shales). The sequence is folded into a south‐westerly
plunging anticline with a well-developed axial plane cleavage
and numerous fractures, bedding parallel faults and shears. The
belt extends northwards to Stake Well and east towards the
Reedys mining centre.
The area has four large open pits, extensive minor gold
workings, and prospecting pits principally associated with mafic
lithologies and Altered Ferruginous Transitional (AFT) and
Altered Ferruginous Fresh (AFF) material which were originally
banded iron formations. The magnetite content within the
AFT/AFF’s has been destroyed and predominantly altered to an
assemblage of hematite with the relic structure of the banded
iron intact.
Where mineralised veins intersect major competency contrasts
such as high magnesium basalt or AFT/AFF, veining becomes
layer parallel resulting in larger deposits such as the Bollard and
Cable deposits.
A number of styles of gold mineralisation have been identified in
the area including:
Mineralised Altered Ferruginous Transitional (AFT) and
Altered Ferruginous Fresh (AFF) material ± quartz veining
(Cable East, Cable Central);
Quartz veins ± altered basalts (Cable West, Lucknow,
Maybelle, Maybelle North, Miners’ Dream);
Gold mineralisation within laterite (Anchor, Bollard, Drogue).
Below the base of complete oxidation (approximately 40m) gold
mineralisation is commonly seen associated with quartz‐
pyrrhotite veins and pyrrhotite replacement of the host rocks.
Prospective models for the discovery of additional gold deposits
in the area are related to the intersection of shear zones with
prospective lithologies.

Information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding
of
the

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.
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.
Refer to Appendix 2 for the significant intersections of the
Project.
Material drill results have been included in the body of the report,
which is considered appropriate for a brownfields exploration
project of this type. Owing to the size of the project holdings,
summary plan and long-section diagrams have also been
included. The company is still in the process of compiling
exploration information over the project areas and intends to
provide additional updates in the future on a project basis
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging
techniques,
maximum
and/or
minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
Due to the vast amounts of drilling, significant intercepts are
reported as down-hole length-weighted averages of grades
above approximately 0.5 g/t Au and above a nominal length of
2m. No top cuts have been applied to the reporting of the assay
results.
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.
Higher grade intervals are included in the reported grade
intervals; and have also been split out on a case-by-case basis
where relevant.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalent values are used.
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’).
The bulk of the exploration drilling was conducted so that results
would be close to orthogonal to the mineralisation as understood
at the time; however the true relationship to the mineralisation is
not accurately determined.
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 7-14 in the body of this announcement and
Appendix 2 – Table 1.
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.
Balanced reporting has been used. It is noted that the soils data
is still being collated, but the author considers the use of soils
data appropriate for reporting broad-scale anomalies for general
targeting; as has been undertaken on this project by previous
companies under JORC 2004.
The exploration results should be considered indicative of
mineralisation styles in the region. Exploration results stated
indicated highlights of the drilling and are not meant to represent
prospect scale mineralisation. As the projects are brownfields
exploration targets, and there are large numbers of holes drilled
over the region, it is considered appropriate to illustrate
mineralised and non-mineralised drill holes by the use of
diagrams,with reference to the table ofsignificantintercepts.

Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but not
limited to): geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk

what has been presented in the body of this announcement.

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.

Work planned to develop the targeting profile for the project in the near future will include reassessment and re-processing of historical hi-resolution magnetics in the area, potential SAM geophysics or ground magnetics, an updated 3D structural targeting model of the region, confirmation of the drill database through on-ground work and referral to company reports, reinterpretation of soils data including potential infill lines; and a target ranking exercise over the area. Target regions are illustrated in figures within the announcement. Additional work in the future will also focus on validating the current drillhole and soils database and QAQC information through validation checks to original company reports, resampling of historical core (if obtainable), identification of collars in the field and twinning of key drillholes.
