EKJV Exploration

A total of 3,775 m was drilled in FY24 Q2 for the East Kundana Joint Venture. Twenty holes were completed targeting the Raleigh Deeps main vein for resource definition and conversion.

WORK COMPLETED

Resource definition drilling in the Raleigh Deeps commenced in FY24 Q1 and was finalised FY24 Q2, with 3,775 m drilled in Q2 to conclude the 6,756m program.

The program's primary purpose was to define the Raleigh Main Vein (RMV) and to convert the mineral resource from inferred to indicated, in the target area. The program's secondary purpose was to generate additional data points for the ongoing Skinners Vein (SKV) interpretation.

Figure 1 Long section of the Raleigh Deeps resource definition drilling, looking east.

The assay results have been in line with expectations with two significant intercepts in Raleigh Main Vein noted below:

  • 0.20m (0.18m etw) grading 59.5g/t gold from 307.2m (RALRSD23014 RMV)
  • 0.25m (0.25m etw) grading 50.7g/t gold from 291.06m (RALRSD23009 RMV)

Skinners vein was identified in core and grades are in line with observations from the recent resampling program of historic drillholes. These new intercepts will assist in the re-interpretation, aiming to extend the lode down dip and across strike. Significant Skinners vein intercepts in the latest drilling are as follows:

  • 0.10m (0.1m etw) grading 126g/t gold from 293.05m (RALRSD23010 SKV)
  • 0.31m (0.28m etw) grading 22.5g/t gold from 373.04m (RALRSD23015 SKV)
  • 0.37m (0.1m etw) grading 20.3g/t gold from 278.33m (RALRSD23008 SKV)
  • 0.41m (0.35m etw) grading 10.7g/t gold from 299.06m (RALRSD23014 SKV)

For results in tabulated format, see Appendix 1.

FUTURE WORK

The results of the first Raleigh deeps drilling program has provided further insight into the fault structures in the current Raleigh model. The understanding of these structures down dip including the Lucifer fault and Lucifer splay to the North and the 'Major Kink' fault has improved.

A holistic review of the faulting in the Raleigh Deeps and the remodelling of the Raleigh Main Vein and Skinners lodes, based on new structural and geological intercept data, has commenced this quarter.

The drill rig has been re-allocated to another project but drilling, targeting this area, will commence again towards the end of FY24 Q3, aiming to convert inferred resource to indicated resource.

Geology • Deposit type, geological setting andstyle of mineralisation. •The Kundana camp is situated within the Norseman-WilunaGreenstone Belt, in an area dominated by the Zuleika Shear Zone,which separates the Coolgardie domain from the Ora Bandadomain. The Zuleika Shear Zone in the Kundana area comprisesmultiple anastomosing shears the most important of which arethe K2, the K2A and Strzelecki Shears.•Raleigh mineralisation is hosted on the Strzelecki Structure.Strzelecki mineralisation consists of very narrow, very highgrade mineralisation on a laminated vein hosted in the campscale Strzelecki Shear which abuts a differentiated maficintrusive,thePowderSillGabbro againstintermediatevolcanoclastic rocks (Black Flag Group).A thin 'skin' ofvolcanogenic lithic siltstone-sandstone lies between the gabbroand the Strzelecki shear.

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Where aggregate intercepts•incorporate short lengths of high-graderesults and longer lengths of low-graderesults, the procedure used for suchaggregation should be stated and sometypical examples of such aggregationsshould be shown in detail.The assumptions used for any reporting•of metal equivalent values should beclearly stated.
Relationship betweenmineralisation widthsand intercept lengths These relationships are particularly•important in the reporting of ExplorationResults.If the geometry of the mineralisation•with respect to the drill hole angle isknown, its nature should be reported.If it is not known and only the downhole•lengths are reported, there should be aclear statement to this effect (e.g.'downhole length, true width not known') •The orientation of target structures is well known for all in-mineexploration targets and true widths can be accurately calculatedand are reported accordingly.•Both the downhole width and true width have been clearlyspecified when used.•The assay results are reported as down hole intervals with anestimate of true width provided in Appendix.
Diagrams • Appropriate maps and sections (withscales) and tabulations of interceptsshould be included for any significantdiscovery being reported. These shouldinclude, but not be limited to a plan viewof drill hole. •Drill hole location diagrams and representative sections ofreported exploration results are provided either below or in thebody of this report.
Balanced reporting • Where comprehensive reporting of allExploration Results is not practicable,representative reporting of both low andhigh grades and/or widths should bepracticed to avoid misleading reportingof Exploration Results. •All Exploration and Resource Definition results have beenreported in the Drill Hole Information Summary in the Appendixof this report.
Other substantiveexploration data Other exploration data, if meaningful•and material, should be reportedincluding (but not limited to): geologicalobservations; geophysical survey results;geochemical survey results; bulk samples– size and method of treatment;metallurgical test results; bulk density,groundwater, geotechnical and rockcharacteristics; potential deleterious orcontaminating substances. •No other material exploration data has been collected for this drillprogram.
Further work • The nature and scale of planned furtherwork (e.g. tests for lateral extensions ordepth extensions or largescale step-outdrilling).Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas•of possible extensions, including the maingeological interpretations and futuredrilling areas, provided this informationis not commercially sensitive. •Further work includes;oEngaging the next phase of resource definition drilling inFY24 Q3 for Raleigh Deeps for resource conversion.oUpdating the geological model, for the drilling resultsreceived and updating the Mineral Resource estimate.oAn economic evaluation will be completed utilising aMine Shape Optimiser function.
