GRACE GOLD PROJECT 2023 DRILLING CAMPAIGN COMPLETED

Located in the world-class Paterson Province in WA, tenements cover ~ 345km2.

  • The project was previously explored by Newcrest Mining which identified outcropping gold and copper mineralisation at the Bemm and Grace Prospects. Grace has a historic Inferred Mineral Resource of 1.59mt @ 1.35g/t Au for 69,000ozs.
  • Paterson has been drilling since 2021 and just completed its 2023 Drilling Campaign, completing 15 RC drill holes over July and August for 3,809m.
  • Assays for 11 of the 15 RC holes have been returned with outstanding results, extending the high-grade shoot discovered in last year's program along strike and defining additional stacked lodes at depth below the current resource envelope.
  • Further exploratory holes were designed to target anomalous gold at the Grace East prospect, about 1km east-southeast of the Bemm deposit with encouraging results suggesting the presence of a large gold mineralised system.

GRACE GOLD PROJECT NEXT STEPS

All 1m drill samples have been submitted to ALS Laboratory in Perth for gold only via fire assay to expedite the assaying process.

Following on from the successful 2023 RC drilling campaign at the Grace Gold-Copper Project, Paterson will:

  • Conduct a detailed technical review of all results in conjunction with historical drilling results
  • Integrate assaying and logging into 3D model incorporating geophysical and geochemical data to identify priority drilling targets.
  • Commence obtaining regulatory government and heritage approvals for drilling activities to recommence in the first quarter of 2023.

BURRAGA ADVANCED COPPER-GOLD PROJECT, NSW

12

BURRAGA COPPER-GOLD PROJECT OVERVIEW

  • Located in the prolific Lachlan fold belt in NSW, the Burraga Project comprises four exploration licences
  • About 2km South of Burraga Village is the historic Lloyds Copper Mine, which between 1880 and 1920, produced 19,443t of Copper from ~470kt of ore implying a recovered grade of 4.14% Cu. It then intermittently produced until 1961.
  • The initial focus for copper exploration was the confirmation of extensions to the original Lloyds Mine ore body.

  • A resource statement was compiled in 2015 incorporating both historical and modern data, calculating 0.99Mt @0.8% Cu.
  • The main gold mining production within EL6463 occurred at the Lucky Draw Gold Mine, which produced 191,000 oz at an average grade of 4.2 g/t Gold in the early 1990's. A remnant non JORC Resource of ~30,000 ozs was left behind in an unmined pod northwest of the existing pit. Similar mineralisation to Lucky Draw is at Hackneys Creek some 800 metres north of Lucky Draw where there is a non JORC Inferred resource from the 1990's of 2.21 mt @ 1.4g/t Au for 101,800 ounces.

BURRAGA COPPER-GOLD PROJECT LLOYDS COPPER MINE TENEMENTS

BURRAGA COPPER-GOLD PROJECT LLOYD'S COPPER MINE

Recent studies on the mineralisation and alteration in and near the historic Lloyds Copper Mine suggest the Burraga deposits may represent structurally controlled, deep, low sulphidation epithermal copper-gold grading to a carbonate-base metals mineralised system, which in turn may be part of a larger porphyry system. The geological model for the formation of this mineralisation style is pictured to the right.

The evidence for a porphyry system at Burraga includes the presence of deep, low sulphidation epithermal mineralisation, monzonite dykes, skarnoid rocks, and

biotite (potassic) alteration. Geological model for the formation of copper-lead-zinc-gold mineralisation at Burraga

BURRAGA COPPER-GOLD PROJECT CALLINORE PROSPECT

  • The Company's technical team identified three highly prospective targets (pictured right) along strike of the Lloyds copper mine on EL6463 that were the focus of a soil sampling survey during 2023.
  • The Callinore Prospect is a newly defined target on EL6463, located just over 6km from the historic Lloyds Copper Mine. The Prospect has been highlighted from anomalous copper-lead-zincin-soils undertaken by previous explorer, Platina Developments in the late 1960's which was coincident with a strong induced polarisation anomaly outlined from ground geophysical

surveys completed at the time. Geological setting and location of copper in soil anomalism at the Callinore Prospect

BURRAGA COPPER-GOLD PROJECT CALLINORE PROSPECT (cont..)

  • The Callinore Prospect is located along the regionally significant Callinore Fault.
  • This significant structural corridor extends further south, hosting the Lloyds copper mine, and may present a possible pathway for metalliferous bearing fluids from a deep-seated porphyry source.
  • Three historical diamond drill holes were completed by Platina in 1969 designed to test the bedrock source of mineralisation, with grades peaking up to 1.52% copper, 0.49% zinc and 0.24% lead.
  • During the recent soil geochemical survey, a total of 158 soil samples were collected from the "B" soil horizon along available cleared road verges at 50m intervals, traversing the length of the priority Callinore target.
  • Samples were submitted to ALS Global laboratories in Orange for low-level gold and multi-element analysis using an Aqua Regia digest and ICP-MS finish.

BURRAGA COPPER-GOLD PROJECT CALLINORE PROSPECT (cont..)

  • From the 158 samples collected a total of 5 samples returned values above the 97.5 percentile, peaking at 1,325ppm copper
  • The distinct copper-in-soil anomaly extends for a strike of 1.5km over widths up to 800m and remains open along strike in both directions (pictured right).
  • The anomaly runs parallel and within close proximity, to the regionally significant Callinore structural corridor which could present a potential fluid pathway for mineralizing brines. Interestingly, the peak copper-in-soil anomaly coincides with a zone of demagnetization (pictured right). The alteration processes that often accompany mineralisation can subdue, or even completely destroy a lithology's usual magnetic signature.
  • Demagnetization is often associated with porphyry copper mineralisation with the alteration process destroying magnetite. Copper in soil results at Callinore prospect at the Burraga Project over regional aeromagnetics

BURRAGA COPPER-GOLD PROJECT NEXT STEPS

  • The coincident copper-in-soil anomaly at the Callinore Prospect represents a high-priority target for further delineation to progress the area to drill-ready status.
  • Plan further infill geochemical sampling and follow-up ground geophysical surveys to cover the Callinore prospect.
  • Continue with 3D geological mapping and modelling of mineralisation to aid with drill targeting.
  • Submit work approval to NSW Resources Regulator for drill clearance.
  • Work programme approved for RC drilling to test near surface high grade targets.
