Quarterly Activities Report Quarter Ended 30 September 2021
HIGHLIGHTS
- Drilling program at Grace commenced in early September
- 880m EIS diamond drill hole completed with wide intervals of pyrite and quartz veining intersected.
- Altered and brecciated rocks surrounding a granitic unit intersected at depth spatially associated with the targeted magnetic anomaly.
- Pervasive pyrite-arsenopyrite-chalcopyrite sulphide mineralisation was intercepted within a silicacarbonate altered breccia zone in several holes
The Board of Paterson Resources Limited (Paterson or the Company) (ASX:PSL) provides the following commentary for the Quarter ended 30th September 2021.
Exploration Projects
Grace Project – Paterson Range, Western Australia
Paterson Resources commenced its maiden drilling campaign during the quarter at the Grace Copper-Gold Project in the highly prospective Paterson Province, Western Australia. The campaign was designed to test a series of priority targets outlined from geophysics and historical drilling, which has identified similar styles of mineralisation to the world-class Telfer Copper- Gold Mine (25km north-west) and Havieron Gold Deposit (40km north-east).
Encouragingly numerous intersections of the shallow mineralisation highlighted the potential for a more significant underlying system that has yet to be adequately tested. The main focus of the drilling was to follow up these results of the deeper diamond drill hole in order to better understand the structural relationships of the mineralisation.
A full review of the structural information, coupled with petrophysical analysis, is now being undertaken, particularly over the encouraging widespread zones of alteration, veining and brecciation. The laboratory estimates the assay results from the drilling will be returned within 4 to 6 weeks.
Historic drilling at the project has produced excellent near surface high-grade gold mineralisation which have not been followed up include;
- 10.0m @ 20.95 g/t Au from 6.0m GPB0801 (RAB)
- 33.0m @ 1.55 g/t Au from 53.0m GR124502 (RC)
- 12.0m @ 14.38 g/t Au from 56.0m GR037 (RC)
- 3.1m @ 8.28 g/t Au from 17.1m GPC9106 (DDH)
- 22.0m @ 1.31 g/t Au from 71.0m GR124002 (RC)
- 6.0m @ 5.61 g/t Au from 34.0m GR128001 (RC)
- 4.0m @ 7.04 g/t Au from 38.0m GR124501 (RC)

- 16.0m @ 2.64 g/t Au from 34.0m -BR8-5 (RAB)
- 4.0m @ 5.13 g/t Au from 30.0m HK3-4 (RAB)

Interpretation of the results is ongoing and assay results from the drilling will be released as they come to hand.

Grace Project Location
The Grace Project is located in the heart of the Paterson Province, where multiple major exploration companies, including Rio Tinto, Newcrest and Greatland Gold, are actively exploring within the area. Significant discoveries nearby Paterson Resources 'Grace' project include Havieron to the northeast, and Maroochydore to the south, with the world-class Telfer mine located 25 km northwest. Figure 4 shows the Grace tenements and the significant regional discoveries and mines.

Corporate
During the quarter, the Company completed a capital raising to raise approximately $1.2m by way of a placement of up to 22,222,222 shares (Placement Shares) to sophisticated and professional investors (Placement) together with one (1) free attaching option for every one (1) Placement Share subscribed for (Placement Options). The Placement was strongly supported by the top 20 investors of the Company.
The Placement Shares were issued at a price of 5.4c per share under the Company's available placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. The Placement Options will have an exercise price of $0.105 and will expire on 30 September 2023 (ASX: PSLOD).

The Company will seek shareholder approval for the Placement Options at its upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held on 29 November 2021. The funds raised from the Placement will be used to expand the drilling program at the Grace project allowing for additional high priority targets to be tested, costs of the capital raising and working capital.
The Placement was arranged by the Board and as such, there were no capital raising fees.
