Cervantes Corporation Limited (ASX:CVS) (Cervantes) is pleased to inform the market it has undertaken a comprehensive review of the gold exploration potential of the Primrose Shear. This shear is related to high grade gold mineralisation that was mined historically (Figure 1). The review took in work done by previous explorers as well as records from historic gold producers in the Paynes Find Gold Field. In recognition of the significance of this mineralised shear, the area is referred to as the Primrose Project.
Cervantes controls in excess of 8km strike length of the Primrose Shear. The package of tenements includes mining leases which are the subject of an ongoing acquisition from European Lithium Ltd (CVS’ ASX release on 15 Nov., 2017) and a number

of Cervantes owned tenements (Table 1, Figure 2).
The aim of the review was to identify opportunities not pursued by previous workers and, where appropriate, materially increase and validate the mineralisation previously defined.
A large body of drilling at the Carnation Prospect has been ear-marked for a detailed analysis.

Regional opportunities
The historic workings in the project area were based on at surface, late stage, quartz-vein related gold mineralisation. This style of gold, while generally of a high grade, is discontinuous and size limited. Past explorers were distracted from pursuing the greater prize of a potentially much larger tonnage target by these historic occurrences.
The following references are made in respect to historic exploration data that are the subject of announcements to the ASX by Paynes Find Gold Ltd (ASX: PNE) on 14 June, 2011 and 19 November, 2012 and Cervantes Corporation Limited (ASX:CVS) on 4 May, 2017.
Consultants CSA Global undertook a field-wide study for the purpose of improving understanding of the structural and lithostratigraphic controls on mineralisation with implications for exploration targeting. The following critical conclusions were drawn:
==> picture [488 x 76] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [488 x 82] intentionally omitted <==
-
Two major gold mineralising episodes are recognised:
-
Shear related quartz veining with high-grade gold in boudinaged quartz veins hosted by gneiss. This was the main target for historic mining activities (Type 1 mineralisation).
-
Lower grade, but consistent gold mineralisation along the sheared contact between mafic amphibolite and gneiss (Type 2).
-
Extensive quartz veining containing gold mineralisation in the western mafic / ultramafic sequence (Type 3 mineralisation). This is an under explored gold target.
-
The gneissic terrain that hosts the historic workings are a lower priority target because of the inconsistent gold mineralization.
-
The sheared and intensely altered contact between the mafic unit and the gneiss should be the prime focus. This target is likely to exhibit consistent and significant thicknesses and may be open to depth and along strike.
The two styles of gold mineralisation are shown schematically in Figure 3. Type 1 gold mineralisation was extensively pursued in the past. Intercepts such as 3m at 92.1g/t gold (Au) in drill hole PFRC120 represent this type, while intercepts such as 12m at 6.61g/t Au in hole PFRC116 (PNE announcement 21 Nov., 2012) are interpreted to represent Type 2 gold mineralisation. While lower grade, this type has the ability to be present in much higher tonnages and total contained gold.
The Primrose Shear related gold target has not been fully pursued by previous explorers, yet presents as the greatest opportunity in this historic gold field. Of the approximately 8km of strike Cervantes controls on this shear and its offshoots, only 0.55km has been drill tested.

Regional sampling programme
The regional review has identified seven prospects for follow-up with four being chosen for testing with aircore (AC) drilling during the current phase of exploration, namely Blue Bell, Princess Mary, Goodingnow, and Pansy. (Figure 4). All lie on flexures in the Primrose Shear and have associated with them elevated surface geochemistry gold signatures. The aim of this work is to identify parts of the Primrose Shear that are auriferous as a pathfinder for deeper RC drill testing. Seventy holes are planned.
Pansy Pit
The Pansy Pit (Figure 4 and 5) was mined in 1912-13 and produced at an average grade of 17.4g/t Au. It represents the currently known southernmost extension of known gold mineralisation along the Primrose Shear.
Cervantes has reviewed all previous work, including drilling undertaken by Falcon Australia Limited in 1987 (“Summary of Pansy Prospect, Paynes Find for Falcon Australia”, A.Peerless, K.H.Morgan & Assoc., 1987, DMIRS report A21516). Field inspections were

also done. On the basis of structural and lithological geometries present, extents indicated by historic drilling, possible strike and down dip extensions recognised by Cervantes, and gold grades intercepted that drilling, a notional exploration target of 10,000t to 35,000t at a grade of 2.0g/t to

4.5g/t gold has been estimated. This is based upon 21 RC holes (Figure 5, Appendices 1 and 2) in conjunction with aeromagnetic data interpretation as well as field mapping both regionally and within the existing pit. The potential quantity and grade of this target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
Sixteen RC holes for 550m to test down-dip, up-dip and along strike of the historic holes are planned

(Figure 5). Drilling is pending Programme of Work assessment by Department of Mines Industry Regulations and Safety (WA) and are expected to be completed by July, 2018. This data will be used to confirm and extend the known mineralisation as a prelude to possible resource definition drilling.
Carnation Prospect
The previous explorer, Paynes Find Gold (PNE), focused its extensive drilling campaigns on the footwall side of the Primrose Shear within the Paynes Find Gneiss. This gneiss, bounded by the Primrose Shear to the west and the Daffodil Shear to the east, forms a rigid brittle body that hosts the vein swarms that host the historically mined high grade, low tonnage, late stage veined gold. Insufficient continuous mineralisation was defined by PNE to estimate an economic resource.
Drill holes that were collared in the hanging wall amphibolites to the west tended to indicate the potential for thicker intersections of more continuous gold mineralisation.
A more in-depth review of this particular prospect is planned. This will include assaying of drill hole sections not yet sampled, mapping of alteration to determine if there exists an alteration signature to the gold, and a synthesis of litho-structural controls on gold mineralisation.
About Cervantes Corporation Limited
Cervantes is an emerging gold explorer and aspiring gold miner. It has built up a portfolio of gold properties in well-known and historically producing gold districts with a strategy to apply novel exploration and development thinking. Cervantes has identified opportunities in those districts that were overlooked by previous explorers. The company is committed to maximizing shareholder value through the development of those opportunities.
About the Primrose Project
The Primrose Project covers in excess of 8km of the highly gold mineralised Primrose Shear in the Murchison District of the Eastern Goldfields, Western Australia. Over 37 gold mines, of various sizes, operated in this field from 1911 till 1982. Some 63,000 ounces of gold was mined at an average grade of 25g/t during this period. It is generally accepted that significantly more gold than this was won from alluvial and unreported production.
Cervantes now controls 20 mining leases, prospecting licences, and an exploration licence that cover the majority of this historic gold field. A large database of drilling, surface geochemistry, geological, and geophysical data has been assembled to allow the field to be better understood than at any time in its history.

Appendix 2 Summary of historic gold assays – Pansy Pit RC drilling
Historic assay results from the Pansy Pit drilling are taken from hand written geological logs obtained from DMIRS report A21516. Only intervals with identifiable quartz veining were assayed. Illegible assays are represented as a dash (-). Below detection are represented as -0.001. The method of assaying is unknown. Intercepts used historically to assess this mineralisation are highlighted. The drilling was by RC. True widths are unknown. It should be noted that:
-
These results were reported before the existence of the JORC code; they have not been reported in compliance to the JORC Code (2012).
-
It is possible that following further evaluation and/or exploration work that the confidence in these exploration results may be reduced when reported under the JORC Code 2012.
-
Nothing has come to the attention of Cervantes that causes it to question the accuracy or reliability of these exploration results; but Cervantes has not independently validated the historic exploration results and therefore is not to be regarded as reporting, adopting or endorsing those results.

Appendix 3 JORC Code (2012) Table
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | **Explanation ** |
|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | Reverse circulation drilling samples are reported to be as 1 metre samples with the majority of metres per hole assayed regardless of interpreted mineralised zone (PNE data) or based on quartz veining (Falcon data). In regards to the Pansy exploration target reported in this release onlyRC drillinghas beencompleted to date |
| Drilling techniques | Reverse Circulation (“RC”) drilling. |
| Drill sample recovery | Data pertaining to recoveries in the corporate database indicate the majority or RC recoveries are estimated greater than 85% (PNE data) and unknown(Falcondata) |
| Logging | RC chips have been logged in the field by various Geologists. These geological logs and notes are recorded in the Company’s Access digital databaseforthe project |
| Sub sampling techniques and sample preparation |
For PNE data RC samples are reported to have been riffle split form the original 1 metre sample with the residue now removed from the site. Field standards were sent to the lab and incorporated into the analytical test work along with laboratory based and previous sampling standards. Samplehandlingis unknown fortheFalcondata. |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
For the PNE data assaying has been completed using recognised analytical laboratories in Perth WA and internal checks have been completed on the data by the relevant labs. Historical reports indicate some blanks and standards were introduced to offer further QC/QA to the data at the time of collection, This have not been verified by the current tenement manager but has been recorded in the corporate digitaldatabase.QA/QCis unknown fortheFalcondata. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
It is reported historically that high grade assays were re-assayed and sampling combined with interpretation and collation has been under the guidance of a competent Person defined by the JORC code and guidelines 2012 Ed. Assaying undertaken pre-JORC Code 2004 or 2012 (ie, the Falcon data) is not material in that it will guide future explorationbutnotresource definition |
| Location of data points | Holes have been reported at the time of drilling on a local grid and all data has been converted to MGA94 datum zone 50. Further drilling will be on this datum. Some collars have been verified in the field with GPS to confirmcollarsinthe database are correctlylocated. |
| Data spacing and distribution | There is no clear or regular drill pattern or spacing with drilling as explorationdrilling. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Other than regional geological trends no detailed orientation of geological structures ash been identified in the literature, other than an inference of steeply dipping west to near vertical. Most drilling has therefore been at an angle to attempt to intersect geology. |
| Sample security | It is reported that there has been a sufficiently secure chain of custody throughout sampling as to satisfy requirements (PNE data) and unknown(Falcondata). |
| Audits or reviews | No audits or reviews have yet been conducted on the exploration data presentedinthisrelease. |
Section 2 Reporting of Exploration results
| Criteria | **Explanation ** |
|---|---|
| Mineral tenements | Exploration results relate to work carried out over apackage of tenements |
==> picture [488 x 76] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [488 x 82] intentionally omitted <==
| and land tenure status | comprising mining, prospecting and exploration leases considered collectively as the Primrose Project. The tenements are under the ownership of either European Lithium Limited or Cervantes Corporation Limited with a view to 100% ownership by Cervantes Corporation Limited following successful completion of the acquisition of all tenements. All tenements and leases are currently in good standing with DMP with no known impediments to further exploration or development. |
|---|---|
| Exploration done by other parties |
Historical work has been undertaken by a number of previous explorers. The data used in this release relies upon the compilation of the historical data by Payne’s Find Gold Limited circa 2011 and drilling and exploration work completed by them subsequently, as well as drilling undertaken by Falcon AustraliaLtdin 1987. |
| Geology | The regional geology of the Payne’s Find Project comprises a thick sequence of Archaean age folded mafic volcanogenic rocks that intruded by large granitoids. Outcrop is limited with extensive surficial cover of laterite and alluvium. Rock types include basalt dacite, meta-volcanogenic sediments, subordinate banded iron formation, and ultramafic schists. The mineralisation is considered to be largely structurally controlled and associated with late tectonic deformation both inductile and brittlezones. |
| _Drill hole Information _ | See table in release |
| Data aggregation methods |
Data is presented on a metre by metre assayed basis. |
| Relationship between mineralisation width and intercept lengths |
The declination of the drilling is varied but is predominantly assigned to -60~~o~~to the east. In particular the drilling used in the Pansy Pit exploration target has been predominantly a dip of -60oand a hole azimuth averaging 045ofrom true north. Some information taken from historical reports infers geology trend is sub vertical to 70odip to the west which would equate to a nominal true thickness of approximately70-80% of intersected thickness. |
| Diagrams | A table of co-ordinates, sample result, and sample numbers relevant to the drill holes along with a location map showing drill hole locations in regards to the explaintargetreported. |
| Balanced reporting | Given the numerous historical workers, companies and varied reports and summaries of work undertaken to date the results are considered to be relevant andreporting as balanced |
| Other substantive exploration data |
This release summarises all the known historical data to date. To the best of the Company’s knowledge no other exploration data is available that may have significantimpact onthenature and extent of mineralisationat the project. |
| Further work | Work programmes currently under review include further drilling and geophysical data acquisition to assist in delineating and verifying the exploration target cited along with ongoing desktop studies and literature reviews. Historic drilling results will be verified by re-drilling of those holes. |
