OVERVIEW
During the quarter, Odyssey successfully completed the acquisition of the Tuckanarra and Stakewell gold projects positioning 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.
==> picture [374 x 498] intentionally omitted <==
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.

==> 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

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)
-
o18m @ 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 not announced at the time of acquisition. 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.

Maybelle
The Maybelle pit is located on the western boundary of the Tuckanarra licences. The Maybelle gold deposit has been exploited via a relatively shallow, narrow and long open pit trending roughly northsouth, with mineralisation associated with a sequence of sulphidic sediments and BIF within mafic volcanics. It has a high-grade zone at the northern end of the pit which is potentially plunging and open at depth. Previous mining followed the BIF unit.
Previous drilling defined gold mineralisation to >60m below pit, open at depth and along trend . The drilling undertaken in 2015 by Monument, as well as other explorers in the mid-1990’s indicates significant depth potential to the mineralisation below the shallow Maybelle pit (mined to approximately 40m below surface in the 1990’s).
Intercepts open at depth include:
-
10m @ 4.8g/t Au (MYD0100 from 79m)
-
5m @ 2.2g/t Au (MY0108 from 56m)
-

Cable & Cable West
The Cable pit is located in the northern area of the Tuckanarra tenements and has been the most active pit in the Tuckanarra area acquired.
There has been very high-grade mineralisation around the Cable Deposits. Previously identified intercepts include:
-
28m @ 6.4g/t Au (PRC004 from 35m including 10m @ 15.1g/t from 35m and 12m @ 2.0g/t Au from 50m)
-
7m @ 67g/t Au (92TRC0334 from 48m)
-
3m @ 36.4g/t Au (PAC086 from 15m)
-
5m @ 42.3g/t Au (92TRC0220 from 51m)
Significant high-grade mineralisation occurs adjacent to the existing open-pit. Mineralisation is open along trend and at depth, with multiple trend targets already identified from the existing historical data set.
The Cable area including the current pit, Cable West and other surrounding areas has a long gold production history and was the originally mined in the late 1890s with the state government establishing a state battery in the area. This state battery was successfully operated for over 10 years with the remaining workings and structures still visible today.

Bollard
The Bollard pit is located near the Great Northern Highway, along trend from Cable. Bollard has highgrade mineralisation below the existing pit.

High-grade intercepts be below the current pit include:
-
12m @ 6.9g/t Au (TRC0068 from 43m)
-
25m @ 3.9g/t Au (TRC0137 from 49m)
-
o9m @ 4.8g/t Au (TRC0118 from 78m)o15m @ 4.6/t Au (TRC0122 from 41m)
Mineralisation is interpreted to be open down dip and along trend of current drilling, with high-grade extensional holes identified during the data review.
STAKEWELL GOLD PROJECT
Odyssey acquired an 80% interest in Stakewell in late 2020, a contiguous group of tenements located in the prolific Murchison district situated approximately 50km north of Cue and 55km south of Meekatharra; and approximately 600km north-north east of Perth in the Murchison area of Western Australia.
The tenement package comprises one exploration license and ten prospecting licenses with an aggregate area of 89km[2] . The tenements cover the historical Kohinoor gold mine (“ Kohinoor ”) which is situated only 1km from the highway and is in close proximity to several mills and processing plants in the area.
Historical, high grade gold production of approximately 29,000oz from the Kohinoor mine including 8,050oz at 13.9g/t Au (underground, early 1900’s), 15,750oz at 12.0g/t Au (underground, 1990’s) and 5,200oz at 1.5g/t Au (open pit, 1990’s)[1] .
The final phase from 1994 to 1995 produced 41,000 tonnes at 12.0g/t Au for 15,750oz from an underground operation mined to a depth of approximately 150m.

Historical drilling at Stakewell delivered significant unmined high-grade intercepts including:
-
4m @ 26.6g/t Au (MKR105 from 179m)
-
2m @ 18.5g/t Au (MKR107 from 178m)
-
7m @ 21.8g/t Au (MKR067 from 48m)
-
5m @ 19.7g/t Au (MKR106 from 197m)
-
4m @ 18.4g/t Au (KRC0021 from 22m)
Significant intercepts to follow up (open along trend) including:
-
4m @ 17.8g/t Au (MKR116 from 312m)
-
5m @ 5.3g/t Au (11SWD002 from 259m)
-
3m @ 7.5g/t Au (MKR113 from 238m)
-
3m @ 14.9g/t Au (KDDH0001 from 86m)
Past exploration at the Stakewell has included extensive soil sampling with analysis identifying several zones of coherent gold-in-soil anomalism at Kohinoor and the immediate surrounding areas. Of particular interest is patchy gold-in-soil occurrences that lie to the north of Kohinoor at the Christmas Hope prospect which, in addition to its previous high-grade production, suggests the potential for blind gold mineralisation, lacking significant exposure at surface.
Several air-core, RC and DD programs were undertaken at Stakewell from the 1980’s to late 2000’s however there has been minimal exploration on Stakewell since that period. Significantly, of the 2,197 drillholes in the project database, only 127 (6%) are deeper than 50m.
The Company has mobilised a geophysical team to perform downhole geophysical analysis on several drill holes with results expected in coming weeks.

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;
-
acquisition 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.
Odyssey’s exploration projects are managed by a highly experienced and competent gold exploration team led by Neil Inwood and Share Hibbird, both each with over 25 years experience in exploration, geology in Australia and around the world.
CORPORATE
Reinstatement to Official Quotation
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the securities of Odyssey reinstated to Official Quotation on ASX on Thursday, 14 January 2021, following the Company’s re-compliance with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.
Capital Raising
During the quarter, the Company successfully completed a capital raising pursuant to a public offer (“ Public Offer ”) under the Company’s replacement prospectus dated 27 November 2020 to raise $3,125,000 through the issue of 125,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.025 per share.
Funds raised from the Public Offer place the Company in a strong position to commence a comprehensive exploration programs across both projects.
16
