HIGHLIGHTS:

Ø New assay results returned from Golden Eagle Underground diamond drilling include:

o 19.0m @ 5.4 g/t Au (Including 11.1m @ 8.9 g/t Au) o 5.8m @ 15.0 g/t Au (Including 5.5m @ 16.0 g/t Au) o 14.6m @ 4.8 g/t Au (Including 14.2m @ 4.9 g/t Au) o 7.3m @ 9.4 g/t Au o 13.8m @ 4.1 g/t Au (Including 4.6m @ 9.5 g/t Au) o 4.3m @ 5.5 g/t Au

  • Ø Assay results for 17 diamond drill holes remain outstanding

  • Ø Geological re-modelling of the Southern Mining Area commenced

  • Ø Mineralisation remains open down plunge and at depth

Further to Ora Banda Mining Limited’s (ASX: OBM) (“Ora Banda”, “Company”) Operational Update of 27 May, the Company is pleased to announce the following assay results for the Golden Eagle deposit. Golden Eagle is located 3.2 km from the Davyhurst processing plant (Figure 1) and is an integral part of the Company’s Davyhurst Gold Project (“Project”).

These results follow other previously announced drilling results that included GEDD21008 - 10.5m @ 7.6 g/t Au, GEDD21009 - 6.1m @ 4.5 g/t Au & GEDD21003 - 3.4m @ 7.5 g/t Au (see ASX announcement dated 30 April 2021).

Golden Eagle underground diamond drilling was aimed at infilling and extending the declared mineral resource of 393kt @ 3.9g/t Au for 49,000 ounces (Appendix 1) . The drilling continues to support premining expectations for the North Shoot and provides important geological information into the remodelling of the Southern Mining Area (Figure 2).

Managing Director Comment

Ora Banda Managing Director, David Quinlivan, said: “We are currently developing northwards on the 310 Level towards some of these very strong results (19m @ 5.4g/t Au & 14.0m @ 4.8g/t Au) and are certainly looking forward to mining this high grade area in the near term.

The Southern Mining Area has also yielded some strong results which our geology team are currently remodelling. The flatter folded ore lode geometry in this area is a new and potentially significant development and we are currently looking at ways to better target this flatter ore zone in future mining programs.”

The Golden Eagle underground diamond drilling program commenced in late February 2021 and was completed in April 2021. A total of 61 holes were drilled for 8,370 metres. Currently, assay results for 17 holes totalling 2,445 metres remains outstanding.

About the Golden Eagle Underground Mine

Golden Eagle deposit is one of five priority mining targets at the Davyhurst Project and is 3.2 km from the Davyhurst processing plant. Western Mining Corporation (WMC) commenced open pit mining at Golden Eagle in 1986 and produced 864kt @2.6g/t Au for 73,000 ounces. A further 39,000 ounces were produced by Croesus Mining between November 2000 and December 2003*.

OBM initially updated the Golden Eagle mineral resource on 8 April 2020 following the collation of surface drilling, underground drilling that was conducted in April 2018 and updates that included all face sampling data that was collected from previous ore drive development. All technical and geological information available for the deposit was combined into an updated geologically based mineralisation model. This in turn formed the basis of the updated resource estimation.

The upgraded Golden Eagle Resource is 393kt @ 3.9 g/t Au for 49,000 ounces, which includes an Indicated Resource of 247kt @ 4.1 g/t Au for 33,000 ounces . The Golden Eagle Ore Reserve was declared on the 30 June 2020 for 130kt @ 3.8 g/t Au for 16,000 ounces.

OBM commenced underground mining at Golden Eagle in the March quarter 2021 with capital decline development currently below the 310 Level (approximately 150 metres below the natural surface). Ore development spans five working levels, namely the 395 Level to the 310 Level (approximately 100 vertical metres). Stoping has been completed on two levels (395 & 375 Level) and remains ongoing on two levels (355 & 335 Level).

Mining completed to date on the North Shoot has met the DFS expectations. Mining in the Southern Mining Area has encountered, folded ore lodes (Figure 3) e.g., an asymmetrical anticline with a flat west limb and a moderately dipping east limb, that require more work to better understand the controls on gold mineralisation. This is a positive result but a better understanding of gold distribution within the folded sequence is needed.

Consequently, drilling, mapping and additional mine development are being undertaken to better understand gold distribution within the folded lodes. Currently, it has been traced down-plunge for more than 100 metres and it’s highly likely it proves to be continuous for some distance yet. The grade potential of the folded lodes remains strong with a number of drill holes intersecting what appears to be a highgrade core area (Figure 2).

The folded sequence presents as a relatively limited drill target due to its orientations to the principal drilling direction. As a result, it may be under-represented in the current drilling data. Additional long range drilling programs will be developed to test the greater extents and continuations of this folded sequence.

Notes:

  1. The table contains rounding adjustments to two significant figures and does not total exactly.

  2. This Ore Reserve was estimated from practical mining envelopes and the application of modifying factors for mining dilution and ore loss.

  3. For the open pit Ore Reserve dilution skins were applied to the undiluted LUC Mineral Resource estimate at zero grade. The in-pit global dilution is estimated to be 29% at Sand King, 43% at Missouri, 22% at Riverina, 13% at Waihi and 23% at Callion all of which were applied at zero grade. The lower dilution at Riverina, Waihi and Callion reflecting the softer lode boundary and allows for inherent dilution within the lode wireframe. All Inferred Mineral Resources were considered as waste at zero grade.

  4. The Open Pit Ore Reserve was estimated using incremental cut-off grades specific to location and weathering classification. They range from 0.54 g/t to 0.69 g/t Au and are based on a price of A$2100 per ounce and include ore transport, processing, site overheads and selling costs and allow for process recovery specific to the location and domain and which range from 85% (Sand King fresh ore) to 95%.

  5. Approximately 100,000 t at 1.8 g/t at Riverina was downgraded from Proved to Probable due to uncertainty at the time surrounding metallurgical recovery. Subsequent test work estimated the Riverina recoveries to be 90.1%, 97.6% and 94.3% for oxide, transition and fresh, respectively.

  6. The underground Ore Reserve was estimated from practical mining envelopes derived from expanded wireframes to allow for unplanned dilution. A miscellaneous unplanned dilution factor of 5% at zero grade was also included. The global dilution factor was estimated to be 32% with an average grade of 0.77 g/t Au.

  7. The underground Ore Reserve was estimated using stoping cut-off of 2.7 g/t Au which allows for ore drive development, stoping and downstream costs such as ore haulage, processing, site overheads and selling costs. An incremental cut-off grade of 0.7 g/t Au was applied to ore drive development and considers downstream costs only. Cut-off grades were derived from a base price of A$2100 per ounce and allow for an assumed process recovery of 92%. Subsequent test work estimated the Golden Eagle fresh recovery to be 90.6%.

Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut

Aberfoyle/Bardoc - RC and RAB sampling methods generally unknown
however usually collected as 1m samples and composited to 2 to 4m
samples when outside mineralised zones. Pre-1990 RAB holes
generally sampled on 2-3m intervals and composited to 6m. Samples
sent to accredited laboratories for drying, crushing and pulverising.
Usually 50g fire assay for RC samples and aqua regia or 50g fire assay
for RAB samples.

Consolidated Gold (Cons Gold) \ Consex– RC 1m samples where
alteration is visible. Remainder of hole composited to 4m. 2 to 3 kg
samples, including core, sent to laboratory for crushing, pulverising and
50g Fire Assay.

Croesus – RC 1m samples collected under cyclone. 5m comps assayed
for gold by 50g Fire assay. NQ diamond except for geotechnical
purposes (HQ triple).

Davyhurst Project Pty. Ltd (DPPL) - 4.25 to 5.5 inch RC drilling with face
hammer. Potential mineralisation sampled and assayed on a metre
basis otherwise 4m composites. Samples jaw crushed and pulverised
before taking a 50gm charge for fire assay.

Billiton - RAB and RC 1m samples with RAB being composited to 2m.
Diamond core of NQ size. Laboratory and analysis methods unknown.

Eastern Goldfields Limited (EGS) –Half core sample intervals selected by
geologist and defined by geological boundaries. Samples are crushed,
pulverized and a 50g charge is analysed by Fire Assay. Underground RC
samples were taken every 1m and analysed as above.

Eastern Goldfields Limited (EGS)- Face Samples
o
The face dataset is channel sampling across the development
drives. Each sample is a minimum of 1 kg in weight. Sample
weights average 3-5kg depending on the sample length. Face
sampling is conducted linear across the face at approximately 1.5
metres from the floor. The face is sampled from left to right in
intervals no larger than 1.0 metre. Minimum ore sample width is
30 cm.
o
The ore vein is determined by its general angle to north(local
grid north, ore veins are roughly due north in local grid), textural
difference to non-mineralised veins (non-ore veins are straighter
have no local foliation and lack multiple layering), and associated
mineralised minerals (pyrite, Pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite)

WMC - RC Sampling on 1m basis, assayed by aqua regia method,
unknown laboratory.

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 representivity 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 (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.

Face data is QAQC validated before importing into the main database
(Geobank). The face data is visually inspected once plotted into a
drillhole trace form. Survey pickups of development is used to
determine coordinates of each face, along with sample locations. These
coordinates are then used to generate a pseudo drill trace and sample
intervals.
Data spacing
and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration

Drill hole spacing is adequate to establish geological and grade
continuity for the Golden Eagle deposit which has a JORC (2004)
compliant reported resource.

Sample compositing has only been undertaken for resource modelling
purposes.

Drill intercepts are length weighted, 1g/t lower cut-off, not top-cut,
maximum 2m internal dilution.

Close spaced face samples (single line sample every 2.5 to 3.0m) and
face and backs geological mapping provide detailed high density
dataset to enable Grade Control models for mine planning.

Cons Gold – RC residues stored onsite.

EGL/SWAN/OBM – All samples, including face samples, are bagged, tied
and placed in a secure yard. Once submitted to the laboratories they
are stored in cages within a secure fenced compound. Samples are
tracked through the laboratory via their LIMS.

Samples are either driven to the laboratory directly by the geologist or
field assistant or samples are dropped at the company owned mill

The deposit was originally discovered in the early 1900’s.

WMC developed an open pit at the Golden Eagle deposit in 1986 and was
previously last mined by Croesus in 2005.

The Golden Eagle deposit occurs within a regionally extensive amphibolite unit
which also hosts a number of other gold deposits at the Davyhurst Project (LOI,
etc). The Gold mineralisation occurs within steeply west dipping shear zones,
comprising strongly foliated biotite-quartz schist, with localised quartz-feldspar
lode (QFL), and disseminated and banded sulfides (py, po). The ore structure is
characterised by biotite alteration which contrasts from surrounding waste
rock which is characterised by Chloritic alteration.

All companies listed conducted multiple drilling programs and produced
several reports on the deposit in their time.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

The LOI & Makai, Golden Eagle Deposits and Great Ophir are hosted within
approximate 30-50 metres wide biotite schist that frequently contains a silica
dominant Quartz-feldspar lode (QFL) situated near the base of the schist.
Historically this biotite schist has been defined as metamorphosed inter-flow
laminated meta-sediment of siliceous, calc-silicate and pelitic compositions
(Amdel, May 1993) while the QFL is interpreted to originally have been a
laminated silica rich sediment, although this assessment has been made on
overall composition as no relict features remain.
The surrounded rocks are predominately high-Mg basalt that along with the
interflow sediment have undergone Amphibolite grade metamorphism. These
units are bound to the east and west by large scale faults.

These deposits appear to have formed along the intersection of the biotite
schist and a shallow NE dipping fault with the development of plunging shoots
of (-20O-> 357o) within the biotite schist at LOI and Golden Eagle.

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.

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
clearlystated.

No upper cut applied to reported drill hole results, significant intersections are
reported as weighted averages, greater than 1g/t, 2m maximum internal
waste,

The mineralisation in the Lights of Israel Complex and Golden Eagle is hosted
by broad biotite schist with a high grade Quartz Feldspar Lode (QFL) located at
the base of the schist. When present the QFL has been used to define the edge
of high grade mineralised intercepts, where done this is clearly labelled.

No upper cut applied to reported face sample results, significant intersections
are reported as weighted averages, greater than 2.5g/t and no more than
1metre of internal dilution.
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’).

All intercept lengths reported are downhole lengths, not true widths.

The majority of the reported historical surface drilling at Golden Eagle was
inclined (generally -60o), with steep dipping mineralisation, this results in
intersection angles of between 40 and 60 degrees, as such downhole
intercepts are 15-35% wider than true width.

Face samples are taken normal to the strike of the orebody, hence can be
considered true width.
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 diagrams in release
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
reportingof Exploration Results.

The LOI Complex, including Golden Eagle, has undergone significant drilling
over the years and as such reporting of all results is not practicable. Results
that have been deemed to bear influence on the new EGS results have been
reported in this announcement to ensure representivity of the results.
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.
