Reynolds Range Exploration Update: First Diamond Drill Hole Complete at Scimitar Au-Cu Target

KEY POINTS

  • 400m diamond drill hole (SCDD2001) has been completed at the Scimitar Target to confirm a base metal association with 2km long southwest dipping MLEM conductor

  • A second 500m diamond hole is planned to test the stronger zone of the EM conductor, 600m to the north of SCDD2001, at the cessation of wet season

  • Surface sampling has highlighted strong gold and base metal anomalism, coincident with MLEM modelled conductor identified at Scimitar

  • Anomalism extends for 3km including a Au-Cu dominant trend extending for 1.5km

  • Ag-Zn dominant trend parallel to EM conductor for 1.8km

  • Scimitar is along trend from historic Reward Copper Deposit which averaged 11% Copper

  • Scimitar is the first of several highly prospective targets to be tested within the Reynolds Range Project – previous RC drilling within the project area has returned up to 17m @ 3.93g/t Au 26m @ 2.73g/t Au (ASX 18 Jan 2010)

Prodigy Gold NL (ASX: PRX) (‘Prodigy Gold’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to advise that it has completed a 400m diamond drill hole (Figure 1) at the Scimitar Target within the Company’s Reynolds Range Project in the Northern Territory.

Previously reported high-grade sampling results (see ASX announcement dated 24 November 2020) confirmed the presence of a strong gold and base metal anomalism at the Scimitar Target, and Prodigy is now working to identify the source of this anomaly.

Drill hole (SCDD2001), co-funded by the Northern Territory Geological Survey (‘NTGS’) as part of the Resourcing the Territory initiative, was designed to confirm a base metal association with 2km long southwest dipping MLEM conductor, located in the centre of the geochemical anomaly (ASX 16 November 2020).

A second 500m diamond drill hole has been designed to intersect a deeper, higher conductance zone.

Drill Hole SCDD2001 Summary

SCDD2001 intersected a package of interbedded sandstone and siltstone with minor black shales and diorite intrusions (Figure 4). Sulphides including pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite, galena and minor chalcopyrite were associated with quartz veining in deformed black shales over several intervals. The strongest part of the conductor is modelled to start 240m vertically below surface. Minor sulphide has been intersected in the drillhole at the target depth of 350m down hole.

The sphalerite and galena (Figure 3) in the black shales intersected in SCDD2001 may be the source of the surface Zn and Pb anomaly. Downhole EM (DHEM) will be completed at the commencement of the 2021 field season. This will confirm whether the sulphidic shales identified in the drilling are the cause of the airborne and moving loop EM anomalies. The stronger zone of EM conductor, 600m to the north of SCDD2001, remains untested. A second 500m diamond hole is planned to drill the conductor depending on assay results and the DHEM survey.

The source of the high-grade Cu and Au soil and rock chip anomaly (1km long) has not been confirmed by this hole. Prodigy is currently planning RC drilling closer to the Cu and Au surface anomalies.

Scimitar is along trend from the historic Reward Cu Deposit, which averaged 11% Cu and is the first of several targets to be tested at Reynolds Range over the coming months.

Management Commentary

Prodigy Gold Managing Director, Matt Briggs said: “We are pleased to report the completion of the first of two diamond holes planned for the Scimitar Cu-Au Target. The second hole, which is planned to be drilled 600m to the north of SCDD2001, will test the strongest zone of the EM conductor and we expect to complete this hole at the cessation of the wet season.

This initial round of drilling is the first phase of our broader exploration strategy for Reynolds Range which aims to test several highly prospective targets with favourable structural indicators for hosting gold and base metal mineralisation. Many of these targets are associated with historical exploration and mine workings yet have had little exposure to any form of modern exploration which provides an excellent opportunity for Prodigy.

I look forward to providing updates on the results of diamond drilling from Scimitar and on our plans to drill the Falchion and Sabre Targets in the near-term.”

Next Steps

Assays will be received and evaluated for SCDD2001 in January and down-hole EM logging will be conducted at the commencement of the field season in 2021. Field work will continue and drilling is planned to test other priority targets at Reynolds Range including the follow-up drilling at Scimitar, the Reward Cu-Au EM Target, the Falchion Target and the Sabre Au Prospect.

Reynolds Range Exploration Overview

The Scimitar Target is one of a number of Au and Cu targets being advanced by the company on the Reynolds Range Project. Previous exploration at Reynolds Range has identified significant gold in drilling with RC results including 17m @ 3.93g/t Au 26m @ 2.73g/t Au (ASX 18 Jan 2010).

In October 2020 the company undertook a moving loop electromagnetic (MLEM) survey over the Scimitar Target. Detailed mapping identified evidence of Cu mineralisation at surface within a 3km long geochemical anomaly.

Of 127 samples collected in late 2020, 39 returned significant anomalism of up to 7.5g/t Au, 1,950g/t Ag, 19.3% Cu, and 21.3% Pb (Figure 2) (ASX 24 November 2020). Within the larger 3km long geochemical anomaly, separate Cu-Au and Ag-Pb zonation is observed. Elevated Cu-Au rock chips are exposed for 1.5km in a north-south trend, where east-west structures are exposed on a topographic high.

Reynolds Range Project Background

The project area is accessed from the Stuart Highway and are between 90 and 250km north of Alice Springs. Targets between 20km and 120km off the NT highway, railway line (Ghan) and the NT gas pipeline. These projects have excellent access and land ownership is a combination of pastoral lease and aboriginal land (ALRA). Prodigy Gold has negotiated access and permits to the land.

Figure 5 - Scimitar Target Area with diamond drill rig in the middle ground.

Mineralisation was first identified in the area in the early 1900s with over 500 different mineral occurrences and old mines identified including extensive tin fields at Coniston (Reynolds Range); old copper workings, silver-lead-zinc mines and numerous gold occurrences.

A series of predominantly E-W to NW-SE striking shear zones transect the project areas. These shear zones, in places, have retrograded the amphibolite facies country rock to greenschist facies. Gold mineralisation consist of sheared and sheeted-quartz vein deposits with the potential for economic deposits. Discoveries such include mineralisation at the:

Sabre Prospect 17m @ 3.93g/t Au[1] , 26m @ 2.73g/t Au[2] , and 24m @ 2.59g/t Au[3] and

Falchion Prospect 12m @ 3.76g/t Au[3] , 16m @ 3.67g/t Au[3]

Several occurrences have been identified that include high-grade copper and silver (+- gold) associated with distal lead-zinc occurrences. The Jervois deposits (located further east in the Arunta), the Bumblebee discovery (located near Kintore in the South Arunta / Warumpi Margin) and the Tennant Creek deposits (located to the north in the Tennant Creek inlier) are described as iron oxide copper-gold targets. The rocks at Reynolds Range are believed to have similar potential.

Notable Reynolds Range Targets

Falchion Target - Old gold workings associated with Lander shear zone. Evidence of base metals including tin and antimony in the area. Known gold-antimony mineralisation including results of:

  • 12m @ 3.76g/t Au[3]

  • 16m @ 3.67g/t Au[4]

RC and diamond drilling have been completed on a single section, however gold mineralisation extends for over 400m in RAB drilling.

Sabre Target - Shallow gold workings associated with the Lander shear zone. Evidence of base metals including tin and antimony in the area.

Known gold mineralisation including drilling results of:

  • 17m @ 3.93g/t Au[5]

  • 26m @ 2.73g/t Au[3]

  • 24m @ 2.59g/t Au[3]

RAB drilling has defined gold mineralisation for over 500m of strike.

Reward Copper Silver Gold Target - Old copper oxide workings (1950s era). Sampling by Prodigy Gold includes results >20% copper, 200g/t silver and 2g/t gold (ASX 13 May 2010). An EM survey by Prodigy Gold indicated a conductor 50m below surface and 400m long to the south of the existing workings.

PHD Exploration

PHD is a 9km soil Au anomaly on Hyperion Project, 30km northwest of the existing 310koz gold deposit. Shallow RC drilling by Ord River Resources in 2005 defined gold in RC drilling within two zones over 3.5km of strike at the PHD Prospect. Previous soil anomalism associated with this structure has now been shown to extend for over 9 km. Airborne magnetic surveying completed in 2019 highlights the extensions of the structure along strike and the potential for parallel structures.

During November 2020 sampling and mapping was undertaken in preparation for the planned aircore drilling program. 147 samples were collected on an irregular 600x50m spacing infilling areas not

previously sampled along strike of previous RC drilling. Results have returned and the soil sampling supports the continuity of the anomaly interpreted from airborne magnetics data. (Figure 6). Aircore drilling is planned to commence at the beginning of the 2021 field season at a 500m x 100m spacing. The results of aircore drilling and structural interpretation, will be used to design subsequent RC drilling.

Bluehart exploration update

The Bluehart target is located 53km along strike of the 14Moz Callie Gold Mine and is associated with a 1,000m long high-grade soil and rock chip gold anomaly (Figure 7). Bluehart is associated with a northwest trending splay off the Trans-Tanami Fault Zone, similar to Callie. This northwest splay is coincident with soil and rockchip gold anomalism. Similar to the Callie deposit, sinistral shearing and east-west aligned anticlines are present within the three target areas at Bluehart with graphitic reduced sediments mapped in outcrop.

Aircore drilling, comprising 57 holes for 1,869m, was completed in the second half of 2020, testing three targets at the Bluehart Prospect. Low level gold results were returned last quarter with no significant assays being returned from the aircore program (Figure 8). The thickness of Dead Bullock Formation, the target stratigraphic horizon, is thinned in the area limiting the potential for gold deposits of the scale targeted by the company.

(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
AC drilling was sampled as 3m composites by spear sampling the total reject
to produce a 2-3kg composite sample.
Prodigy Gold samples were submitted to a contract laboratory for crushing
and pulverising to produce a 40 g charge for Fire Assay with AAS finish.
For all AC holes the final metre of each hole (end‐of-hole) was collected as
a single metre multi-element (ME) sample. The ME sample is assayed for
gold as described above and is additionally assayed for a suite of 59
different accessory elements (multi-element using the Bureau Veritas
MA100/1/2 routine which uses a mixed acid digestion and finish by a
combination of ICP-OES and ICP-MS depending on which method provides
the best detection limit.
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.).
AC drilling was undertaken by Bullion Drilling with an AC drill rig with a
500cfm/250psi on-board compressor. This rig has a depth capacity of
approximately 120m for AC drilling. A 3 ½” aircore bit and hammer were
used for the holes.

recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed
Recoveries from drilling were generally 90%-100%, though occasional near
surface samples have recoveries of 50%. Samples were typically dry with
minor wet samples.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples
Drillers used appropriate measures to minimise down-hole and/or cross
hole contamination in AC drilling.
The cyclone and buckets were cleaned after every hole and every 30m or
after wet samples to minimise potential for contamination.
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.
Aircore drilling is designed as a reconnaissance tool to define gold and
multielement anomalies in the regolith. Sample recovery does not impact
identification of anomalies and consequently no detailed analysis has been
undertaken to determine a relationship between grade and recovery for
this program. With sample recovery >90% bias is unlikely due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geo-technically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
Prodigy Gold AC samples were geologically logged at the drill rig by a
geologist. Data on lithology, weathering, alteration, ore mineral content
and style of mineralisation, quartz content and style of quartz were
collected.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
All samples have been analysed for gold by Bureau Veritas in Adelaide.
Samples were dried and the whole sample pulverised to 85% passing 75µm,
and a sub sample of approximately 200g is retained for Fire Assay which is
considered appropriate for the material and mineralisation and is industry
standard for this type of sample.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.
The cyclone is routinely cleaned and samples visually inspected for
contamination. Drilling of wet samples is avoided and the nature of the
sample is recorded. Reconnaissance drilling is aimed for anomaly detection
with an expectation of significant additional drilling prior to the declaration
of a resource. Blanks and standards were inserted in sequence at a
frequency of approximately 1 in 20. QAQC results are screened by the
database geologist prior to final review by the project geologist.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected,
including

field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
3m composites are taken from the 1m sample piles using a spear which
penetrates across the full sample. The pile is sampled in multiple slices from
different angles ensuring a representative sample is taken. Samples are
collected to weigh less than 3kg to ensure total preparation in the
pulverisation stage.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain

A blank or standard was inserted approximately every 20 samples. For drill
samples, blank material was supplied by the assaying laboratory. Two

MDS is compatible with SQL 2008-2012 – most recent industry versions
used). This interface integrates with LogChief and QAQC Reporter 2.2, as
the primary choice of data capture and assay quality control software.
DataShed is a system that captures data and metadata from various
sources, storing the information to preserve the value of the data and
increasing the value through integration with GIS systems. Security is set
through both SQL and the DataShed configuration software. Prodigy Gold
has an external consultant Database Administrator with expertise in

All holes were drilled vertically.
As this is early stage of drilling the orientation of the drilling to
mineralisation is not known.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation
and the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.
No orientation based sampling bias has been identified in this data. Holes
are reconnaissance in approach and are drilled vertically.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples were transported from the rig to the field camp by Prodigy Gold
personnel, where they were loaded onto a Toll Express truck and taken to
Bureau Veritas Laboratories secure preparation facility in Adelaide. Prodigy
Gold personnel have no contact with the samples once they have been
picked up for transport. Tracking sheets have been set up to track the
progress of the samples. The preparation facilities use the laboratory’s
standard chain of custody procedure. Details regarding sample security of
drilling prior to 2010 are not readily available.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
Prodigy Gold conducted a Lab Visit to Bureau Veritas laboratory facilities in
Adelaide in August 2017 and found no faults. QA/QC review of laboratory
results shows that Prodigy Gold sampling protocols and procedures were
generally effective.

The Bluehart target is located in the Bluebush area and was first
recognised in this district by surface geochemistry and shallow lines of
RAB drilling in the late 1990s by Otter Gold NL. North Flinders, Normandy
NFM and Newmont Asia Pacific subsequently all conducted exploratory
work on the project with the last recorded drilling (prior to Prodigy Gold)
completed in 2007. Previous exploration work provided the foundation on
which Prodigy Gold based its exploration strategy.
The MSc study conducted in 2019 by Roshanravan et. al., advocate that
areas of structural complexity have increased potential for gold
emplacement within the Granites-Tanami Orogen. Predictability surfaces
were generated to highlight (visually) areas with greater potential
prospectivity (Figure 8). The authors highlight that areas under cover
masking the favourable pre-Mesoproterozoic host lithologies, are often
ineffectively explored. Much of the Bluebush area is under cover and
ineffectively explored.
The prospectivity of the Bluehart target was also highlighted and
described by the ‘Geological Framework & Targeting Project’ prepared by
Dr Oliver Kreuzer in 2017. Following seismic interpretation, the Bluehart
target area was evaluated to be of enhanced prospectivity associated
with the GTO deep crustal ‘plumbing system’.

Bluebush
The Bluehart Target area is located 50 km northwest of the Callie Gold
Mine and 10 km southwest of the Wild Turkey and Jim’s Find deposits.
The structural framework at Bluehart is related to folds and splays
associated with the Trans Tanami Shear and is structurally similar to other
areas with significant gold mineralisation in the Tanami, such as the
Callie, Groundrush, and Hurricane deposits (Huston et al., 2007). The area
is largely covered by transported sandplains. Prospective reduced
graphitic horizons and mylonitic gneiss of the Dead Bullock Formation
have been mapped in the target area amongst a suit of deformed igneous
intrusive rocks. Mineralisation is expected to be Callie-style orogenic gold.

Data
aggregation
methods

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.





Summaries of all material drill holes and approach to intersection
generation are available within the Company’s ASX releases. All results
are shown on maps. Highlight holes are reported individually.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.

No metal equivalent values are used.
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 (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not
known’).

From surface mapping and previous drilling in the district, host lithologies
and mineralisation are most commonly steeply dipping (between 60 and

80 degrees). Where sufficient outcrop exists to inform planning, drill holes


are angled so as to drill as close to perpendicular to mineralisation as

possible.


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 Figures and Tables in the body of the text. As the AC drilling is at
a reconnaissance stage, and broad drill spacing, cross sections are not yet
included in the announcement.
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.


All material assays received to date from Prodigy Gold’s drilling above a


0.1g/t Au gold lower cut-off have been reported together with reference


to historical drilling results of significance.
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.







Multi-element geochemistry of current downhole samples and historic
spoils has been compiled over the target area. Results are used to
influence the interpretation of the regolith profile and host rock lithology.
