OPERATIONS

Safety, Environment, Heritage & Community

There were two Lost Time Injuries (LTI) during the Quarter and the Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) was 14.9 as at the end of September 2020. Whilst above the industry average, the TRIFR continues to be on a downward trend given the TRIFR was 21.0 at the start of the calendar year.

In terms of COVID-19, Ramelius maintains certain procedures, related to physical distancing and pre-commute screening. The Company continues to carry out swab testing and/or wearing of clinical masks on aircraft where required, as well as carrying out temperature testing and screening processes prior to commuting to sites.

There were no significant environmental, heritage or community related incidents reported during the Quarter.

Mt Magnet (WA)

Open Pits

Mining in the September 2020 Quarter saw the completion of the Stellar cutback and strong progress on the Eridanus Stage 2 cutback (refer Figure 2). As planned, Stellar produced high grade ore in the bottom 25m of the pit which supported the excellent mill grades seen in the Quarter. The Eridanus cutback progressed strongly with high mining productivity achieved in the oxide zones (refer Figure 3). High grade ore stockpiled from Eridanus supplied much of the mill feed during the Quarter. As planned, open pit tonnes were much lower, but at significantly higher grade, with high grade production of 96,237 tonnes at 4.30g/t for 13,315 ounces.

Figure 3: Eridanus pit looking East – showing Stage 2 Cutback progress

Underground

The Hill 60 underground mine continued throughout the Quarter. A total of 44,026 tonnes at 2.10g/t were mined for 2,971 ounces of gold.

Likewise, Shannon underground production continued steadily. Production grades slightly exceeded expectations and resulted in the delivery of 43,796 tonnes at a mined grade of 6.54g/t for 9,203 ounces of gold.

Vivien Mine

Production tonnages and grade were comparable to recent Quarters. Vivien attributed mill production was 47,048 tonnes at 4.46g/t for 6,579 recovered ounces.

Processing

Milled tonnes (Mt Magnet and Vivien) were 455,779 tonnes at a grade of 2.98g/t for 42,062 recovered ounces of gold at a recovery of 96.4%. A planned mill shutdown and mill re-line was completed in August 2020. AISC for the Quarter for Mt Magnet and Vivien was A$1,138/oz.

Guidance for the December 2020 Quarter for the Mt Magnet production centre, including Vivien, is for approximately 39,000 ounces.

5

Edna May (WA)

Underground

The Quarter saw steady underground production. Claimed underground production was 59,166 tonnes at 4.52 g/t for 8,591 ounces of contained gold. An underground infill and extensional diamond drilling program was also completed to upgrade lode definition and overall resource confidence. Numerous significant results were returned in assays, reflecting the bulked Edna May Gneiss unit and the higher grade internal lodes. Example intercepts are highlighted below and listed in Attachment 1.

Bulked Edna May Gneiss intercepts include:

  • 171m at 2.30 g/t Au from 0m in AUD107 ➢ 135m at 2.73 g/t Au from 0m in AUD147 ➢ 159m at 1.78 g/t Au from 0m in AUD151

Internal lode intercepts (within bulked intercepts) include:

  • 9.7m at 11.4g/t Au from 143m in AUD107 – Jonathan Lode ➢ 6.1m at 8.16g/t Au from 136m in AUD149 – Jonathan Lode ➢ 7.0m at 11.2g/t Au from 149m in AUD150 – Jonathan Lode

An updated resource model will be generated and used for current underground and open pit mining studies evaluating the optimal extraction method for the Edna May orebody.

Open Pit

Excellent progress was made at the Greenfinch open pit (refer Figure 4) during the Quarter, with the mine serving as the major ore source for the Edna May processing facility for the period. A total of 271,045 tonnes of ore was mined at a grade of 1.09g/t for 9,528 ounces of contained gold with actual mining results reconciling well with the resource model.

==> picture [474 x 264] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 4: Greenfinch open pit looking east

6

Marda Operations

Mining continued at the Marda project, 130km north of Southern Cross. Good progress was made at four of the Marda central pits - Dolly Pot, Dugite, Python and Goldstream whilst site preparation and first pass grade control drilling was undertaken at the outlying King Brown and Golden Orb pits (refer Figure 5).

A total of 220,221 tonnes of ore were mined at 1.82g/t for 12,910 ounces of contained gold.

As at the end of September 2020, a significant 330,000 tonne ore stockpile has been built at Marda, representing approximately six months of ore haulage capacity.

==> picture [475 x 460] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5: Marda Project Pit locations

Processing

Mill production improved slightly during the Quarter with good ore availability from Greenfinch, Marda and the Edna May underground all contributing. Total material milled during the Quarter was 734,001 tonnes at 1.34g/t for 29,674 recovered ounces at a recovery of 93.6%. AISC for the Quarter was A$1,387/oz.

Guidance for the December 2020 Quarter from the Edna May production centre, including Marda, is approximately 30,500 ounces.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Penny Gold Project (Murchison region, WA)

Further progress was made on the Feasibility Study, initial planning and statutory approvals for the Penny Gold Project, with completion of the Feasibility Study targeted for the end of October 2020. Feasibility Study results and a Decision to Mine are expected to be announced in the December 2020 Quarter.

Late in the Quarter, exploration and resource definition drilling recommenced at Penny. RC resource definition drilling was conducted at the Columbia lode zone which occurs just north-east of the Magenta lode. Initial results were received for Columbia drilling and several encouraging intercepts were returned, including:

  • 7m at 4.11 g/t Au from 43m in RPWRC0033

  • 13m at 2.39 g/t Au from 23m in RPWRC038

  • 7m at 5.59 g/t Au from 12m in RPWRC0041

  • 6m at 2.82 g/t Au from 28m in RPWRC0042

Mineralisation is associated with quartz veining, plus iron oxides and/or sulphides in a shallow south-east dipping lode. Further results are pending and there is potential for a modest open pit mineral resource, similar to Magenta. Full results are presented in Attachment 2.

A successful water exploration hole was also completed with plans to develop this as a site water supply bore.

Eridanus Project (Mt Magnet, WA)

Deep diamond drilling commenced at Eridanus during the Quarter. Holes are being drilled to the west from the eastern pit crest. A specialised skid mounted rig supplied by DDH1 is being used, with shallow angle holes being drilled down to -36°. Holes are being drilled along the strike of the IGZ granodiorite host unit and target the cross-cutting, steep dipping, quartz lode zones recognised in the Stage 1 open pit. If lode continuity can be established, then a selective high-grade underground option may exist for Eridanus at depth as an alternative to the bulk underground mining option considered to date. Results will be reported once they come to hand.

==> picture [472 x 354] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 7: Eridanus diamond drilling – 2[nd] hole at -42°

Franks Tower/Orion Project (Mt Magnet, WA)

Significant RC resource definition drilling was undertaken at the old Franks Tower pit and new Orion prospect, northeast of Eridanus (Figure 8). The drilling targets stockwork style, porphyry hosted, mineralisation and related shallower supergene zones. Around half the programme is complete and results available thus far include:

  • 32m at 1.22 g/t Au from 55m in RDRC0033 – Franks Tower ➢ 12m at 3.39 g/t Au from 6m in RDRC00123 – Franks Tower

  • 17m at 2.80 g/t Au from 23m in RDRC00040 – Orion North

  • 19m at 0.84 g/t Au from 23m in RDRC00041 – Orion North

  • 7m at 1.78 g/t Au from 24m in RDRC0216 – Orion South

  • 8m at 11.46 g/t Au from 39m in RDRC0222 – Orion South

Full results are presented in Attachments 3 & 4.

EXPLORATION SUMMARY

Ramelius’ early stage exploration activities for the Quarter included exploratory drilling at the Penny project, reconnaissance RC drilling into the Mods Well Prospect at Mt Magnet and limited Aircore drilling around Holleton.

See Attachments 5-7 for all the significant exploration assay results.

Mt Magnet Gold Project (WA)

An aggregate of 5,213m of exploratory RC drilling (GXRC2181-2184 + RCRD0001-30) was completed at Orion and around Mods Well (east of the Theakston and Franks Tower pits) during the Quarter. See Figure 2 for the location of the historic Theakston and Franks Tower pits relative to the Eridanus open pit.

Orion Prospect

Four deeper exploration RC drill holes were completed at Orion (GXRC2181-2184) to better define the continuity of interpreted shallow dipping lode sequences, hosted within the strike extension of the Eridanus Granodiorite. Encouraging intersections not previously reported include:

  • 20m at 2.43 g/t Au from 105m in GXRC2179 (drilled during the June 2020 Quarter) ➢ 5m at 3.21 g/t Au from 29m in GXRC2181, and

  • 5m at 2.78 g/t Au from 77m in GXRC2182

True widths remain undetermined because of the stockwork nature of the gold mineralisation encountered.

Mods Well Prospect

A programme of RC drilling was completed over Mods Well. The programme was designed to target the potential for gold mineralisation within a series of flat lying porphyry sills propagating off the Mods Well Porphyry (east of the Theakston pit). Low order (4m composite samples) anomalism was returned, including:

28m at 0.85 g/t Au from 28m in RDRC0030

Given the shallow depth of the intersection follow-up drill testing is proposed. True widths remain undetermined at this stage.

Penny Gold Project (WA)

An aggregate of 1,768m of exploratory RC drilling from 13 holes (PERC0001-13) was completed during the Quarter. The drilling targeted the Penny Shear Zone and the parallel Buckshot Trend as well as deeper RC drilling north of Penny resources (refer Figure 9). Deeper diamond drilling looking for en-echelon or faulted offsets to the Penny North deposit is also planned.

Assay results remain awaited.

Figure 9 – Penny Project mineralised corridors

Edna May Gold Project (WA)

The winter cropping season restricts access to most target areas, such that only limited fieldwork was completed during the Quarter.

Holleton Mining Centre

Further RC drilling along the Columbus and Calzoni trends within the Holleton Mining Centre is being planned pending receipt of additional flora surveys, as per the Company’s Conservation Management Plan.

Mt Hampton (incl Symes’ Find Extensions)

No fieldwork was completed as the paddocks in the project area were under crop.

Nulla South Farm-in & Joint Venture Project - Ramelius earning 75%

No exploration drilling was undertaken during the Quarter.

Gibb Rock Farm-in & Joint Venture Project - Ramelius earning 75%

Assay results are now available from Aircore drilling reported last Quarter. A total of 42 holes for an aggregate 1,474m (GRAC001 to 050) were completed at Gibb Rock, testing broad gold-in soil anomalism developed in proximity to and along the southern granite-greenstone contact.

Low order anomalism was returned, with best results of 8m @ 0.22g/t Au from 12m in GRAC032 and 5m @ 0.15 g/t Au from 32m to EOH. Follow-up drilling below the bottom of hole anomalism is warranted.

Jupiter Farm-in & Joint Venture Project (Nevada) – Ramelius earning 75%

A magnetotellurics (MT) survey was completed over the Jupiter project during the Quarter, with preliminary results from data processing and inversion analysis now received.

The purpose of the MT survey was to evaluate the ability of the MT technique to locate fault structures and lithological boundaries, below alluvial and volcanic cover, to depths of up to 2,000 metres with sufficient resolution to serve as a exploration tool for locating drill targets.

A preliminary review of the data indicates the presence of a multiple layered stratigraphy over the entire length of the profile with several prominent lateral discontinuities, likely related to structural features.

Further interpretation of the data is required to determine if potential drill targets exist.

The forward looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions, forecasts and projections and the industry in which it operates as well as other factors that management believes to be relevant and reasonable in the circumstances at the date such statements are made, but which may prove to be incorrect. The forward looking statements relate to future matters and are subject to various inherent risks and uncertainties. Many known and unknown factors could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the estimated or anticipated events or results expressed or implied by any forward looking statements. Such factors include, among others, changes in market conditions, future prices of gold and exchange rate movements, the actual results of production, development and/or exploration activities, variations in grade or recovery rates, plant and/or equipment failure and the possibility of cost overruns. Neither Ramelius, its related bodies corporate nor any of their directors, officers, employees, agents or contractors makes any representation or warranty (either express or implied) as to the accuracy, correctness, completeness, adequacy, reliability or likelihood of fulfilment of any forward looking statement, or any events or results expressed or implied in any forward looking statement, except to the extent required by law.

Notes

Reported significant gold assay intersections (> 0.50 g/t Au) are reported using +2m downhole intervals, with up to 2m of internal dilution. Gold determination was by Fire Assay using a 50gm charge with AAS finishes and a lower limit of detection of 0.01 ppm Au. NSR denotes no significant results. Coordinates are MGA94-Z50. Intercepts are true width.

Asterix holes refer to Magenta, otherwise all holes from Columbia

JORC Table 1 Report for the Surface Aircore, RC and Diamond Drilling

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg 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.

Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

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 (eg ‘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 (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
• At all projects potential gold mineralised RC and
Diamond intervals are systematically sampled using
industry standard 1m intervals, collected from reverse
circulation (RC) drill holes and/or 4m composites
from reconnaissance Aircore traverses. Surface and
underground Diamond holes may be sampled along
sub 1m geological contacts, otherwise 1m intervals
are the default.
• Drill hole locations were designed to allow for spatial
spread across the interpreted mineralised zone. All
RC samples were collected and riffle split to 3-4kg
samples on 1m metre intervals. Aircore samples are
speared from piles on the ground and are composited
into 4m intervals before despatching to the
laboratory. Single metre bottom of hole Aircore
samples are also collected for trace element
determinations. Diamond core is half cut along
downhole orientation lines, with the exception of
underground diamond drilling. Here whole core is
despatched to the laboratory to maximise the sample
size. Otherwise half core is sent to the laboratory for
analysis and the other half is retained for future
reference.
• Standard fire assaying was employed using a 50gm
charge with an AAS finish for all diamond, RC and
Aircore chip samples. Trace element determination
was undertaken using a multi (4) acid digest and ICP-
AES finish.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg. 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).
• Drilling was completed using best practice NQ
diamond core, 5 ¾” face sampling RC drilling
hammers for all RC drill holes at Mount Magnet or 3”
Aircore bits/RC hammers at Edna May and Tampia.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative nature
of the samples.
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.
• All diamond core is jigsawed to ensure any core loss,
if present is fully accounted for. Bulk RC and Aircore
drill holes samples were visually inspected by the
supervising geologist to ensure adequate clean
sample recoveries were achieved. Note Aircore
drilling while clean is not used in any resource
estimation work. Any wet, contaminated or poor
sample returns are flagged and recorded in the
database to ensure no sampling bias is introduced.
• Zones of poor sample return both in RC and Aircore
are recorded in the database and cross checked
once assay results are received from the laboratory
to ensure no misrepresentation of sampling intervals
has occurred. Of note, excellent RC drill recovery is

25

reported from all RC holes. Reasonable recovery is
noted for all Aircore samples. Zero sample recovery
is achieved while navi drilling. The navi lengths are
kept to a minimum and avoided when close to
potentially mineralised units.
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.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
• All drill samples are geologically logged on site by
professional geologists. Details on the host
lithologies, deformation, dominant minerals including
sulphide species and alteration minerals plus veining
are recorded relationally (separately) so the logging
is interactive and not biased to lithology.
• Drill hole logging is qualitative on visual recordings of
rock forming minerals and quantitative on estimates
of mineral abundance.
• The entire length of each drill hole is geologically
logged.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet
or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality
and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all
sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in situ
material collected, including for instance
results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to
the grain size of the material being
sampled.
• Duplicate samples are collected every 25th sample
from the RC and Aircore chips as well as quarter core
from the diamond holes.
• Dry RC 1m samples are riffle split to 3-4kg as drilled
and dispatched to the laboratory. Any wet samples
are recorded in the database as such and allowed to
dry before splitting and dispatching to the laboratory.
• All core, RC and Aircore chips are pulverized prior to
splitting in the laboratory to ensure homogenous
samples with 85% passing 75um. 200gm is extracted
by spatula that is used for the 50gm or 30 gm charge
on standard fire assays.
• All samples submitted to the laboratory are sorted
and reconciled against the submission documents.
In addition to duplicates a high grade or low grade
standard is included every 25th sample, a controlled
blank is inserted every 100th sample. The laboratory
uses barren flushes to clean their pulveriser and their
own internal standards and duplicates to ensure
industry best practice quality control is maintained.
• The sample size is considered appropriate for the
type, style, thickness and consistency of
mineralization.
Quality of
assay data and
laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of
the assaying and laboratory procedures
used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations factors
applied and their derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (eg. standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and
whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie
lack of bias) and precision have been
established.
• The fire assay method is designed to measure the
total gold in the diamond core, RC and Aircore
samples. The technique involves standard fire
assays using a 50gm or 30 gm sample charge with a
lead flux (decomposed in the furnace). The prill is
totally digested by HCl and HNO3 acids before
measurement of the gold determination by AAS,
while the Edna May samples employed ICP finishes
to give a lower limit of detection. Aqua regia digest is
considered adequate for surface soil sampling.
• No field analyses of gold grades are completed.
Quantitative analysis of the gold content and trace
elements is undertaken in a controlled laboratory
environment.
• Industry best practice is employed with the inclusion
of duplicates and standards as discussed above and

26

used by Ramelius as well as the laboratory. All
Ramelius standards and blanks are interrogated to
ensure they lie within acceptable tolerances.
Additionally, sample size, grind size and field
duplicates are examined to ensure no bias to gold
grades exists.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections
by either independent or alternative
company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
• Alternative Ramelius personnel have inspected the
diamond core, RC and Aircore chips in the field to
verify the correlation of mineralised zones between
assay results and lithology, alteration and
mineralization.
• All holes are digitally logged in the field and all
primary data is forwarded to Ramelius’ Database
Administrator (DBA) in Perth where it is imported into
Datashed, a commercially available and industry
accepted database software package. Assay data is
electronically merged when received from the
laboratory. The responsible project geologist reviews
the data in the database to ensure that it is correct
and has merged properly and that all the drill data
collected in the field has been captured and entered
into the database correctly.
• The responsible geologist makes the DBA aware of
any errors and/or omissions to the database and the
corrections (if required) are corrected in the database
immediately.
• No adjustments or calibrations are made to any of the
assay data recorded in the database.
Location of
data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drill holes (collar and down-hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.
• All drill hole collars are picked up using accurate
DGPS or mine survey control. All down hole surveys
are collected using downhole Eastman single shot or
gyro surveying techniques provided by the drilling
contractors.
• All Mt Magnet, Marda and Edna May holes are
picked up in MGA94 – Zone 50 grid coordinates.
Vivien underground drilling is MGA94 - Zone 51.
• DGPS RL measurements captured the collar surveys
of the drill holes prior to the resource estimation work.
Data spacing
and distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution
is sufficient to establish the degree of
geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and
Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
• Most RC drilling is infilling and stepping out from the
prospects, nominally on 20m centres plus looking for
extensions to the known mineralised systems. Good
continuity has been achieved from the RC drilling.
Die Hardy is drilled on 40m sections x 15-20m hole
spacings
• Given the previous limited understanding of the target
horizons infill drilling (whether diamond or RC) is
necessary to help define the continuity of
mineralisation.
• No sampling compositing has been applied within key
mineralised intervals.
Orientation of
data in relation
Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible

horizon(s), plunge projection of higher grade shoots,
with the exception of Eridanus. Here the drilling is
generally parallel to the strike of the Eridanus
Granodiorite but orthogonal to predicted cross cutting
lodes. Multiple other directions have also been
tested.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
• Sample security is integral to Ramelius’ sampling
procedures. All bagged samples are delivered
directly from the field to the assay laboratory in Perth,
whereupon the laboratory checks the physically
received samples against Ramelius’ sample
submission/dispatch notes.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
• Sampling techniques and procedures are reviewed
prior to the commencement of new work programmes
to ensure adequate procedures are in place to
maximize the sample collection and sample quality
on new projects. No external audits have been
completed to date.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

land tenure
status
Type, reference name/number, location and
ownership including agreements or material
issues with third parties such as joint
ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties,
native title interests, historical sites,
wilderness or national park and
environmental settings.
The security of the tenure held at the time
of reporting along with any known
impediments to obtaining a licence to
operate in the area.
• The results reported in this report are located on
granted Mining Leases at Mount Magnet, Edna May
and Tampia gold mines or Exploration Licences at
Holleton and Mt Hampton regions all in Western
Australia (owned 100% by Ramelius Resources
Limited’s or its 100% owned subsidiaries). The Mt
Magnet tenements are located on pastoral/grazing
leases. Tampia is located over private farm land
where the veto on the top 30m has been removed via
executed compensation agreement(s) with the various
landowners. Edna May is within the Westonia
Common, while the Holleton Mining Centre is situated
with the Holleton Timber and Mining Reserve which
requires ground disturbance consultation with the
Department of Lands, Planning & Heritage. Heritage
surveys are completed prior to any ground disturbing
activities in accordance with Ramelius’ responsibilities
under the Aboriginal Heritage Act in Australia.
• Currently all the tenements are in good standing.
There are no known impediments to obtaining a
licence to operate in either area.
Exploration
done by other
parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.
• Exploration and mining by other parties has been
reviewed and is used as a guide to Ramelius’
exploration activities. Previous parties have
completed shallow RAB, Aircore drilling and RC
drilling and shallow open pit mining has previously
occurred at Mt Magnet, Marda and Edna May. This
report concerns exploration results generated by
Ramelius up until March 31, 2020, that were not
previously reported to the ASX.

28

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
• The targeted mineralisation at all projects is typical of
orogenic structurally controlled Archaean gold lode
systems. In all instances the mineralisation is
controlled by anastomosing shear zones/fault zones
passing through competent rock units, brittle-ductile
shearing is common in the gneissic rocks.
• Die Hardy is a lode style zone hosted by a moderately
dipping BIF unit.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the information is
not Material and this exclusion does not
detract from the understanding of the
report, the Competent Person should
clearly explain why this is the case.
• All the drill holes reported in this report have the
following parameters applied. All drill holes
completed, including holes with no significant results
(as defined in the Attachments) are reported in this
announcement.
• Easting and northing are given in MGA94 coordinates
as defined in the Attachments for Mount Magnet and
Edna May.
• RL is AHD
• Dip is the inclination of the hole from the horizontal.
Azimuth is reported in magnetic degrees as the
direction the hole is drilled. MGA94 and magnetic
degrees vary by <10 in the project area. All reported
azimuths are corrected for magnetic declinations.
• Down hole length is the distance measured along the
drill hole trace. Intersection length is the thickness of
an anomalous gold intersection measured along the
drill hole trace.
• Hole length is the distance from the surface to the end
of the hole measured along the drill hole trace.
• No results currently available from the exploration
drilling are excluded from this report. Gold grade
intersections >0.4 g/t Au within 4m Aircore composites
or >0.5 g/t Au within single metre RC samples (with up
to 4m of internal dilution) are considered significant in
the broader mineralised host rocks. Diamond core
samples are generally cut along geological contacts or
up to 1m maximum.
• Gold grades greater than 0.5 g/t Au are highlighted
where good continuity of higher grade mineralization is
observed. 0.1 g/t Au cut-offs are used for
reconnaissance exploration programmes.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (eg. cutting of
high grades) and 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.
The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.
• The first gold assay result received from each sample
reported by the laboratory is tabled in the list of
significant assays. Subsequent repeat analyses when
performed by the laboratory are checked against the
original to ensure repeatability of the assay results.
• Weighted average techniques are applied to
determine the grade of the anomalous interval when
geological intervals less than 1m have been sampled.
• Exploration drilling results are generally reported using
a 0.5 g/t Au lower cut-off for RC and diamond or 0.1
g/t Au for Aircore drilling (as described above and
reported in the Attachments) and may include up to
4m of internal dilution. Significant resource
development drill hole assays are reported greater
than 0.5 or 8.0 g/t Au and are also reported

29

separately. For example, the broader plus 1.0 g/t Au
intersection of 6.5m @ 30.5 g/t Au contains a higher-
grade zone running plus 8 g/t Au and is included as
4m @ 48.5 g/t Au. Where extremely high gold
intersections are encountered as in this example, the
highest-grade sample interval (eg. 1.0m @ 150 g/t Au)
is also reported. All assay results are reported to 3
significant figures in line with the analytical precision of
the laboratory techniques employed.
• No metal equivalent reporting is used or applied.
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 (eg. ‘down
hole length, true width not known’).
• The intersection length is measured down the length
of the hole and is not usually the true width. When
sufficient knowledge on the thickness of the
intersection is known an estimate of the true thickness
is provided in the Attachments.
• The known geometry of the mineralisation with respect
to the drill holes reported in this report is now well
constrained.
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.
• Detailed drill hole plans and sectional views of
Eridanus/Orion, Tampia and Edna May are provided
or have been provided previously. Given the
interpreted shallow dips of the multiple mineralisation
lodes long sections and cross-sectional view
(orthogonal to the plunging shoots) is considered the
best 2-D representation of the known spatial extent of
the mineralization intersected to date. Interpretation
and assessment of the significance of the Holleton
data was ongoing at the time this report was prepared.
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 drill holes completed to date are reported in this
report and all material intersections as defined) are
reported.
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.
• No other exploration data that has been collected is
considered meaningful and material to this report.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further
work (eg. tests for lateral extensions or
depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
• Future exploration includes step out RC and diamond
drilling below deposits to define the full depth extent of
the mineralisation discovered to date.
