– Area 3 Target Drill Ready

Area 3 Target

  • 3+ milligal gravity anomaly

  • Classical IOCG style target - Gravity Anomaly offset with Magnetic Anomaly

  • Target occurs at regional large scale fault structural intersection and demonstrates a structural form indicative of an alteration system that may be mineralised

  • Modelled depths to top of the dense body range from 160m to 300m

– Area 3 Target 3D Model

Area 3 Target

  • The offset in the gravity and magnetic anomalies observed be indicative of may

  • zonation within a magnetite-haematite system (e.g. IOCG style alteration). The non-magnetic gravity anomaly is positioned shallower and/or to one side of the magnetic feature, which is typical of an IOCG style system.

  • The unconstrained 3D inversion model indicates a minimum depth of 160-180m, but forward modelling using a variety of model densities show that the source could be as deep as 300m.

  • IOCG style target - Gravity Anomaly and Magnetic Anomaly partially offset

  • Modelled Depth to top of dense body = 130 metres

  • Drill Hole PD00WN011 Basement @ 136m

Sericite – K feldspar –haematite alteration. Classic IOCG edge alteration !

– Area 5 Target 3D Model

Area 5 Target

  • The Area 5 Anomaly is a broad multi-peak, highamplitude (7 Mgal) gravity anomaly, which is semicoincident with a moderately strong (500nT) magnetic anomaly. The 3D model indicates the top of the gravity anomaly starts at a depth of around 130 metres.

  • Inversion model demonstrates a high average

  • density contrast (≥0.1 g/cm[3] ) which may also be indicative of an IOCG style system

Comet Gold Project

  • 256 km[2 ] Tenement won in a SA Government competitive bid (Oct. 2019)

• Located within the Northern Gawler Craton of South Australia, which hosts numerous significant, gold occurrences, including the Challenger deposit which has a recorded historical production of 1.1 million ounces at an average grade of 5.1 g/t.

  • Includes the Comet Gold Prospect, discovered using regional calcrete soil geochemistry in the mid 1990’s

  • Gold intercepts occur over a continuous strike length in excess of 150 metres and is open to the north, south and at depth.

  • Follow up drill testing will be a priority. The Company has an existing Native Title Mining Agreement and anticipates a future drilling approval could be achieved quickly.

  • Historical gold soil geochemistry over much of the northern Gawler Craton was ineffective and prematurely down graded many areas. With these learnings, the Company will employ other exploration methods such as magnetic / structural targeting, IP geophysics and regional based shallow RAB drilling to locate prospective gold zones.
