1 ASX release 16 July, 2020

Cervantes Corporation Limited (ASX:CVS) is pleased to announce the completion of three drilling programmes and receipt of assays from its Primrose Gold Project in the Paynes Find Goldfield of WA (Figure 1).

Three areas were drilled:

  • Blue Heaven
  • Pansy Pit
  • MMI anomaly

A tabulation of the hole collars is included as Appendix 1.

Blue Heaven Exploration Target

The Company announced an Exploration Target at the Blue Heaven Prospect to the market on 16 July, 2020. (The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the ASX release of 16th July 2020 and the form and context in which the exploration target was presented have not been materially modified.)

The exploration target estimated is given in Table 1. The potential quantity and grade

Figure 1 Primrose Gold Project location.

of an Exploration Target estimate is conceptual in nature, as there has been insufficient reliable exploration data to estimate a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Category Tonnage Range Grade Range
Exploration Target 170,000 to 520,000 2.2 to 4.5g/t

Table 1 Exploration target estimates at Blue Heaven.

The aim of the drilling was to verify historic intercepts as part of Cervantes' validation process for evaluating the historic drilling. Six RC holes, CVSRC001 to 6, were drilled for a total of 263m (Figure 2). The targeted depths of the holes were not achieved because of hard ground and insufficient equipment due to rig unavailability. However, very promising geology was intersected. In particular, in hole CVSRC004

  • a broad zone of intensely altered sericitic felsic schist (32m to 55m) with strong magnetiteepidote alteration. The magnetite alteration is logged as "extreme".
  • a lamprophyre dyke is logged at 32-34m

Both of these observations indicate very favourable environments for gold mineralisation. Magnetite alteration indicates the passage hydrothermal fluids commonly associated with felsic intrusiverelated mineralising systems. Many mesothermal gold deposits are temporally and spatially

associated with lamprophyres which often carry gold orders of magnitude higher than other igneous rocks. Importantly, they tend to indicate deeper seated regional heat events that drive gold mineralisation. This is the first time lamprophyres have been identified in the Paynes Find goldfield. CVSRC004 was drilled to test the western downdip extension of an intersection of 1m @ 271.63g/t from 41m but failed to achieve the target depth.

Figure 2 RC drill hole locations, Blue Heaven area, Primrose Gold Project.

Pansy Pit shallow mineralisation drilling

The Pansy Pit was mined in the mid-1980s to a depth of approximately 5m. The ore comprises a series of parallel, moderately south-west dipping quartz lodes. Cervantes undertook RC drilling in the pit in 2018. Results, announced 8 August 2018, are included as Table 2.

Acquisition of a high resolution Digital Elevation Model during 2020 has allowed historic drilling and the 2018 drilling to be put on to the same datum. As a result, the steeper dips previously identified have proven to be shallower and possibly more attractive for mining.

A programme of 25 RC holes for 436m was undertaken to fill in the existing drilling to better define the near surface gold mineralisation potential in the pit. A tabulation of drill hole collars from this programme is included in Appendix 1, whilst hole locations are shown in Figure 3.

Table 2 Significant intersections in the Pansy Pit from Cervantes' 2018 RC drilling.

Figure 3 RC drill hole locations, Pansy Pit, Primrose Gold Project.

Drilling defined up to five quartz lodes, ranging in apparent thickness from 1m to 3m. RC sampling was undertaken on one metre intervals, defining the minimum apparent thickness. The interpreted dip of the lodes is approximately 35o to the south west. As the holes' dip was 60o to towards the north east the true thickness will be only 1% to 2% less than the apparent thickness. However, this needs to be confirmed by core (diamond) drilling.

Due to the shallow nature of the drilling, the holes generally intersected only the shallowest one or two lodes. Notable assay results from the drilling are:

CVSRCP033 2 6.308 6
CVSRCP034 4 3.402 4

This drilling indicates that:

  • near surface gold mineralisation has been outlined
  • the shallow dips of the quartz lodes has been confirmed
  • whilst the gold tends to occur within quartz lodes, gold also occurs in the host rock. This confirms the observation from the 2018 drilling results
  • while gold grades tend to be erratic, a common feature of quartz vein hosted gold, the strike persistence of the quartz lodes has been established

A representative cross section, whose location is shown in Figure 3, is shown in Figure 4.

MMI Gold Anomaly – P59/2174

A historic surface geochemistry gold anomaly, using the MMI method, remained untested by a previous explorer. The anomaly defines a north-south zone of approximately 700m strike extent. It attains a magnitude of 0.129g/t gold and is considered anomalous in this setting. The anomaly is hosted by the Paynes Find Schist, the host to the Paynes Find gold field.

Figure 4 Geological cross section. The location of the cross section is indicated in Figure 3.

Two shallow RC holes were drilled to test the anomaly: CVSRC007 and CVSRC008 (Figure 2). Both holes intersected unaltered granodiorites with a minor quartz vein. Gold grades were generally below detection other than both holes being anomalous at surface, to a maximum of 0.048g/t gold, and the quartz vein to a maximum of 0.02g/t gold. The source of the MMI is considered to be tested. Assaying was on four metre composites.

Proposed Activities During 2021

Blue Heaven Target:

validation of historic hole locations will be undertaken. Cervantes aims to undertake the work required to progress this mineralisation to a formal Mineral Resource, the potential quantity and grade of which is conceptual in nature, as there has been insufficient reliable exploration

data to estimate a Mineral Resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

  • resampling of anomalous four metre gold intercepts to one metre to better define those intercepts
  • Assessment of extent of magnetite alteration zone with respect to the gold mineralisation with the potential of ground magnetic survey to map out that zone.

Pansy Pit:

  • resampling of anomalous four metre gold intercepts to one metre to better define those intercepts.
  • Preparation and submission of a Small Mining Proposal.
  • Planning of a possible third programme of shallow in-pit drilling to aid in grade control for any future mining

Mr Collin Vost, Executive Chairman of Cervantes, commented: "Cervantes is progressing its gold assets with a view to engaging a third party to purchase the ore or mine and toll treat ore from our Primrose Gold Project. The Company is excited with its prospects at the Project but needs to do additional work to realise its value, which is currently underway."

About Cervantes Corporation Limited

Cervantes is an emerging gold explorer and aspiring gold miner. It holds a commanding position in an oft-overlooked gold field that has had only sporadic, disjointed, and interrupted exploration carried out on it. Cervantes has identified opportunities in this gold field 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 operated in this field from 1911 till 1982. Some 79,915 ounces of gold was mined at an average grade of 28g/t during this period. It is generally accepted that significantly more gold than this was won from alluvial and unreported production.

Cervantes now controls mining leases and prospecting licences 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.

Relationshipbetweenmineralisationwidths andinterceptlengths  These relationships are particularlyimportant in the reporting of ExplorationResults. If the geometry of the mineralisation withrespect to the drill hole angle is known, itsnature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down holelengths are reported, there should be aclear statement to this effect (eg 'downhole length, true width not known'). The intervals reported are the initial drill intervalsand intercepts.No adjustment has been to the intervals toaccount for the declination of drilling.Drilling is generally inclined at 60oto the NW(TN). Ore shoots generally dip approximately35oto the SE, meaning the apparent thickness isapproximately the true thickness; this needs tobe confirmed.

Balancedreporting  Where comprehensive reporting of allExploration Results is not practicable, Table of representative grades are included inthe report.
representative reporting of both low andhigh grades and/or widths should bepracticed to avoid misleading reporting ofExploration Results. This announcement includes the results of Auassays for the holes drilled as a follow-upprogramme to existing (reported) historic drilling.
