Reverse Circulation drilling commenced at Alice River Gold Project
Multiple high priority targets to be tested before year end
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Track mounted high capacity RC rig now on site and drilling high priority holes in Central Target area to test extensions of known mineralisation, first hole completed and samples to be submitted next week for analysis
-
280 aircore holes completed to date, with rig achieving 200-250m per day, on target to complete programme by late November
Queensland focused gold explorer, Pacgold Limited (ASX: PGO) (‘ Pacgold ’ or ‘ the Company ’) is pleased to announce progress for the aircore drill campaign and the commencement of RC drilling at the Company’s 100% owned Alice River Gold Project (‘ the Project’ ), 300km northwest of Cairns, North Queensland.
RC drilling is now underway with the first batch of samples to be submitted next week, while the Aircore programme continues with excellent progress and has completed 280 drillholes, consistently averaging 200-250m per day. The first batch of samples has been dispatched to the lab for assays with results expected back in mid-November.
Pacgold’s Managing Director, Matthew Boyes, commented :
“As planned, our RC drill contractor is onsite and has completed the first hole of the programme testing extensions of known mineralisation on the Central Target and stepping out into areas not previously tested at the Southern Target, Posie and Jerry Dodds. The Aircore team are advancing extremely well and are on course to complete the programme by late November with all samples to be submitted before the end of the month and a steady stream of assay results expected between now and Q2 2025.
“The main objective of this programme of drilling is to give our team the targeting data they require to continue drilling through next year. The scale of Alice River is immense and the structural corridor is proven to be mineralised along the entire known strike. With these RC and Aircore programmes we will extensively broaden our knowledge and understanding of the distribution of the mineralisation and delineate priority areas to be followed up in 2025. Pacgold is extremely positive about the forthcoming quarter, with consistent news flow anticipated given the extensive drill program underway.

APPENDIX 1. JORC CODE TABLE 1
Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data
| CRITERIA | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| SAMPLING TECHNIQUES |
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g., 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. |
Sampling methods have included surface rock chip samples. Geochemistry from rock chip samples is used semi- quantitatively to guide further exploration and is not used for Mineral Resource estimation. The accuracy of rock chip geochemistry is generally high, but these samples are often spot samples and generally not used in Mineral Resource estimation. Diamond drilling (DD), Reverse circulation (RC) drilling and Aircore drilling (AC) was used to obtain samples for geological logging and assaying. Aircore drilling was completed to sample shallow basement. Reverse circulation drilling (precollars) was used to obtain 1m samples where veining is noted. Diamond core was halved with a core saw through zones where alteration and veining were present and sampled at 1m intervals or at other intervals to match the veining and geology. The drill holes were sited to test geophysical targets/surface geochemical targets as well as previous drilling results |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
No information is available documenting measures to ensure sample representativity for surface sampling methods and open hole percussion drilling methods. These methods are not used for Mineral Resource estimation. 1m to 3m AC samples were collected using a spear of samples collected from the drillholes. 1m RC samples were automatically split using a cyclone- mounted cone splitter. 3m RC samples were automatically split as 1m samples using a cyclone-mounted cone splitter, then manually composited to 3m samples using a riffle splitter. The splitter cleaned after each interval with a compressed air gun. Core and RC samples were submitted to the laboratory and sample preparation consisted of the drying of the sample, the entire sample being crushed to 70% passing 6mm and pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns in a ring and puck pulveriser. All samples are assayed for gold by 50g fire assay with AAS finish. Multielement analysis is completed using an ICP-MS analysis. Screen fire analysis is completed on zones which contain multiple visible gold occurrences. ARDH061 ore zone interval was analysed usingthe screen fire assaytechnique. 1kg pulp |

| wet or dry screened to 75 microns. Duplicate 30g assay on screen undersize. Assay of entire oversize fraction. |
||
| 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 (e.g., ‘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 (e.g., submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
Economic gold mineralisation is measured in terms of parts per million and therefore rigorous sampling techniques must be adopted to ensure quantitative, precise measurements of gold concentration. If gold is present as medium – coarse grains, the entire sampling, sub-sampling, and analytical process must be more stringent. At Alice River, gold can be visible and therefore there may be inherent sampling problems. Procedures used to manage this problem are documented elsewhere in relevant sub- sections of this table. |
|
| DRILLING TECHNIQUES |
Drill type (e.g., core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g., 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). |
RC drilling used a 5.5” face sampling RC hammer. AC drilling used a 5.5” face sampling AC blade and/or hammer. Diamond drilling was all NQ3 (triple tube) drill diameter. Some core holes were diamond tails using RC pre-collars, others are diamond drilled from surface. Orientation gear (diamond drilling) – Electronic digital core orientation system Survey Gear – Electronic digital north-seeking gyroscope |
| DRILL SAMPLE RECOVERY |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. |
For diamond core drilling core recoveries are measured by reconstructing core into continuous runs on an angle iron cradle for orientation marking. An average core recovery of greater than 98% has been achieved. No additional measures were required as core recoveries are deemed to be high, and samples considered to be representative. For RC and AC sample recoveries of less than approximately 80% are noted in the geological/sampling log with a visual estimate of the actual recovery. Very few samples were recorded with recoveries of less than 80%. No wet RC samples were recovered. No relationship has been observed between sample recovery and grade. |

| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
Use experienced driller, appropriate drilling fluids and reputable drilling company |
|
| 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 assessment has been completed to determine if there is a relationship between sample recovery and grade, and whether there is any potential for sample bias associated with the different drilling methods used to date. |
|
| 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. |
Geological logging was carried out on all diamond core and RC and AC chips. This included lithology, alteration, sulphide percentages and vein per, AC centages. For diamond core structure type is recorded along with structural orientation data (alpha and beta measurements) where the drill core is orientated. Geological logging of alteration type, alteration intensity, vein type and textures, % of veining, and sulphide composition. All drill core and RC and AC chip trays are photographed. |
| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. |
Logging of the core is both qualitative and quantitative in nature Photographs of rock chips are also collected |
|
| The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
All drill holes are logged in full. | |
| SUB-SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND SAMPLE PREPARATION |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. |
All the core is half core sampled within zones of visible alteration. Where the core is orientated the left-hand side / half of the core is sampled so that the core orientation line remains in the core tray. |
| If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. |
RC samples are split using a cyclone mounted rotary cone splitter 87.5%:12.5% on one metre samples. In zones where visual alteration is not present three metre sample composites are created using the one metre sample via a riffle splitter. Compressed air was used to clean the splitter after each sample interval. Duplicated samples were collected in visual ore zones and at a frequency of at least 1 in 20. AC samples were collected with a spear of each sample on one metre samples and composited over the length of the basement rocks intersected. |

Pacgold has collated the drilling database and created the Alice River Gold Project Access database. This database was imported into Micromine 3d software and validated against old maps and data. Pacgold collects all logging data in a digital format and the data is combined with project database. Logging data is checked and validated in Micromine 3d software. Pacgold geologists have verified the digital database from the previous drilling reports and/or original laboratory reports. Digital data has been compiled from quality scanned tables and plans included in the statutory reports. Pacgold staff have completed field checks and confirmed the location of some drillhole collars and areas of prior gold mining with a standard GPS. |

| GEOLOGY | Deposit type, geological setting, and style of mineralisation. |
The Alice River Gold Project lies within the Alice-Palmer Structural Zone. Gold mineralisation is focused along regional northwest shear zones. The shear zones are largely hosted within the Imooya Granite, a pale grey to white mica-biotite leucogranite (commonly referred in the old reports as an adamellite), of the Siluro-Devonian Kintore Supersuite. At the north end of the Project area the shears intersect gneisses and schists of the Sugarbag Creek Quartzite, which forms the lower part of the Mesoproterozoic Holroyd Metamorphics. Mineralisation is considered to be Intrusion Related Gold – epithermal style. The gold-bearing shear zones extend episodically for approximately 50 km strike length. Gold mineralisation is generally hosted in quartz veins, and minor quartz breccias, up to 10 – 15 m wide in places. Gold mineralisation is focused in linear zones up to 150 m strike length. Gold occurs as both fine free gold in quartz or associated with arsenopyrite and stibnite. Green-white quartz-sericite-epidote alteration zones extend 50 – 70 m around the mineralised veins at some deposits but generally the quartz veins display narrow alteration selvages. The weathered (oxide) zones at surface are around 10 – 20 m deep. |

|
| DATA AGGREGATION METHODS |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g., cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
Unless specified otherwise, a nominal 0.5g/t Au lower cut-off has been applied incorporating up to 4m of internal dilution below the reporting cut-off grade to highlight zones of gold mineralisation. Refer Table 1 and 2. Broad lower grader zones described as mineralisation envelopes are reported using a 0.1g/t Au lower cut-off and incorporating up to 6m of internal dilution below the cut-off grade and results are shown in brackets and italics e.g. (50m @ 0.8g/t Au) No metal equivalent values have been used for reporting exploration results. To date PacGold have previously been reporting intercepts at 0.3 g/t Au and more recently at 0.5 g/t Au as well as highlighting >10 g/t Au high grade zones. These cut-offs were selected to highlight the mineralisation results that occur as narrow higher-grade veins and broader mineralisation zones comprising minor veins and alteration zones. Near surface mineralisation presents as an open pit target where 0.3 to 0.5 g/t Au presents a reasonable possible economic cut-off for bulk mining. However more recent deeper drilling by PacGold is leading into areas where underground mining is expected. Such mining might target both the narrow high-grade zones or allow larger scale bulk stoping underground mining methods. PacGold is still drill testing the extent of the mineralisation and continuity of the high-grade veins and broader mineralisation zone to determine the most likely open pit to underground interface and also the scale and likely cut-off for potential underground mine development. It is expected that exploration reporting cut-offs and criteria will be refined when these development aspects become clearer or after the initial Mineral Resource assessment refines the cut-off and thickness selections. |
| 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 |
High grade gold intervals internal to broader zones of mineralisation are reported as included intervals. A nominal 10g/t Au cut-off has been applied to reporting high grade gold intervals contained within broader zones of mineralisation. These are routinely specified in the summary results tables. |

| such aggregations should be shown in detail. |
||
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No metal equivalents are reported. | |
| RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MINERALISATION WIDTHS AND INTERCEPT LENGTHS |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
The orientation of the drilling is generally perpendicular to the strike of the mineralisation but not perpendicular to the dip on the mineralisation. Generally, the true width of the mineralisation is approximately half the intercept width but until we have additional drilling to confirm the exact geometry of the mineralisation the true width is uncertain. |
| 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 (e.g., ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
||
| 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. |
See body of this ASX announcement for appropriate diagrams. |
| 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 of Exploration Results is presented. |
| OTHER SUBSTANTIVE EXPLORATION DATA |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; |
The Alice River Gold Project includes a large amount of exploration data collected by previous companies, including regional stream sediment geochemical data, soil sample and rock chip data, geological mapping data, open holepercussion drillingdata, ground magnetics,IP |

and VLF-EM geophysical survey data, and costean data. Much of this data has been captured and validated into a GIS database. Metallurgical tests of selected mineralised samples including bottle roll cyanide leach tests were conducted by Golden Plateau in 1994, Goldminco in 1999, and by Tinpitch in 2005 and 2006. Gravity concentration tests were also carried out by Goldminco in 1999. Bottle roll cyanide leach testing work produced variable results. Some samples returned low recoveries, whilst other samples produced high recoveries up to 90%. Further metallurgical work is warranted. Further information is in the IGR of the Company's IPO Prospectus released to ASX on 6 July 2021. |
