BOUNDARY PROSPECT RESULTS - POGO TREND 64NORTH PROJECT, ALASKA
Exploration Summary
-
CSAMT geophysics survey over historic high-grade gold drill intersections, up to 35g/t Au, identifies coincident anomaly and potential extensions at the Boundary Prospect, East Pogo Block.
-
Boundary Prospect is located on Pogo Trend between Northern Star’s Pogo Gold Mine and recent discovery by Tectonic Metals at the Tibbs Project (Figure 2).
-
A new larger second target of 2.2km x 1.5km in size was also identified by the CSAMT survey 900m to the south-west of historic drilling.
-
Surface rock chip sampling over this new target has identified sulphide bearing quartz boulders - assay results expected in late October .
-
Drilling targets for the 2021 summer season will be prioritised after assay results are received.
Managing Director, Duncan Chessell commented, “Identification of new drill targets and extensions
of historic prospects using modern geophysics demonstrates the Camp Scale potential for the region and how highly prospective and under explored the 64North Project remains.”

ASX RELEASE
Resolution Minerals Ltd ( RML, Resolution or Company ) is pleased to announce results from the Boundary Prospect CSAMT ground-based geophysical survey. The survey was undertaken as part of a larger regional field campaign in the summer season, to define high priority drill ready targets from 30 regional prospects. Field teams were deployed by helicopter to the highest ranked regional prospects.

Figure 2 The Boundary Prospect is 26km east of the Pogo Gold Mine on the “Pogo Trend” and 11km NW of the Tectonic Metals Tibbs Project also on the Pogo Trend. (Tibbs Project results as per TSXV announcement 15/9/2020 Tectonic Metals)
Boundary Prospect
The Boundary Prospect is located within the Pogo Trend, which includes both Northern Star’s Pogo Gold Mine (10Moz) and Goodpaster Prospect and Tectonic Metals’ (TSXV:TECT) Tibbs Project ( Figure 2 ). The Boundary area is located 26km along strike (ESE) of the Pogo Gold Mine and 11km NW of the Tibbs Project (15 September 2020 TSX-V Tectonic Metals announcement of drilling results: 9.14m @ 6.71g/t Au from 102m including 3.05m @ 19.3 g/t Au from 107m). As with Pogo, the geology is dominated by paragneiss and orthogneiss, intruded by biotite rich granites and diorite and the paleodepth is interpreted to be close to that of Pogo. Structural preparation is also evident across Boundary i.e. conduits to facilitate fluid flow ( Figure 5 ). Historic surface geochemistry at Boundary includes a >100ppb Au broad soil anomaly (Au-Bi-Te-As-W-Sb), which is marked by a multiple high-grade rock chips up to 24.85g/t Au ( Figure 6 ). Surface mineralisation was subsequently followed up with 5 diamond drill holes in 2000 (series BND0001 to BND00-05), plus an additional hole in 2007 (BND07-06) totalling 1690m ( Figure 3 & Figure 6 ).
In Conclusion
The Boundary Prospect exhibits geochemical evidence for both a gold mineralised late fault vein Intrusion Related Gold System (IRGS) mineral system (Au-As-Bi-Sb) and the potential for un-tested Pogo-style (AuBi-Te-As-W) shallow dipping mineralisation ( Figure 14 ). Previous exploration was conducted without the context of Resolution’s new CSAMT geophysical survey data. Drill testing is warranted and will require helicopter support in the 2021 summer field season.

Historic diamond core holes were not orientated; therefore, the strike and dip of the mineralised veins is unknown. The opportunity exists for RML to follow up historic drilling, which did not effectively test or define the structures controlling the late fault vein mineralisation along strike from high-grade gold intersections. Furthermore, recent detailed field mapping suggests, many of the historic drill holes were targeted without taking structural offsets into consideration and did not have the benefit of modern geophysics.

CSAMT Geophysics Survey Results
The primary aim of the CSAMT survey was to confirm historic mineralised drill intersections at Boundary could be detected using CSAMT. The secondary aim was to determine potential extensions and likely scale of potential gold mineralisation for drill testing in summer 2021.
The CSAMT survey lines targeted demagnetised zones surrounding discrete magnetic highs (interpreted as diorite), associated with mapped paragneiss and surface geochemical anomalism. Line orientations were designed subparallel to the mapped structures where possible ( Figure 5 ).
Historic late fault vein drill intersections were found to coincides with a narrow, high angled, 400-500 ohmm CSAMT anomaly ( Figure 3 ). Possible repeats of the apparently structurally controlled CSAMT anomaly occur to the south and the anomalies also appears to extend to the east and west along strike. This has significant targeting implications, having validated a CSAMT response associated with known gold mineralisation.
The CSAMT survey has also defined a second target over a large 2.2km by 1.5km, north-west trending, gently north-east dipping anomaly, less than 900m to the south-west. The anomaly appears to be contiguous across multiple CSAMT lines, with the top of the anomaly expressing a depth range from 0- 500m (possibly daylighting towards the west). Field crews have collected surface samples coincident with the surface projection of the anomalies. Sulphide-bearing, quartz boulders were identified. Assays are pending.

Figure 4 Sulphide-bearing quartz sample collected from the Daydreamer prospector’s pit looking east (see Figure 5 location).
The CSAMT survey has defined an anomaly at depth beneath historic drill hole BDN00-03 (proximal to the Daydreamer prospector’s pit ( Figure 4 & Figure 5 ). BND00-03 was drilled on a shallow angle (45°) and has not tested this anomaly ( Figure 3 ). The large anomaly extends and shallows to the west.
The CSAMT results were followed up with detailed structural mapping and surface geochemical sampling (soil and rock chip – Figure 5 ), focussing on areas which had the potential for the CSAMT anomalies to daylight i.e. surface projections. Once assay results have been received, they will be combined with the CSAMT results and structural mapping to refine targets ready for drill testing during the 2021 summer field season.

Appendix 1. CSAMT Survey, East Pogo Block, 64North Project.
Appendix 1a: CSAMT Geophysics Survey Results
CSAMT (Controlled-source Audio-frequency Magnetotellurics) is a ground-based geophysical method, which involves transmitting a controlled electric signal at a suite of frequencies into the ground from one location (transmitter site) and measuring the received electric and magnetic fields in the area of interest (receiver site). These measurements are used to calculate the resistivity structure of the earth, which relates to geology. This technique is used for subsurface mapping and has an effective depth range from 20m to 1000m below surface. The transmitted frequency and the resistivity of the subsurface influences the depth of investigation. In general, the lower the frequency and the higher the ground resistivity, the greater the effective depth of the technique.
Summary Geophysics East Pogo: The Boundary Au Prospect includes high grade (up to 35g/t Au), late fault vein drill intersections ( Figure 14 ), which coincides with a narrow, high angled, 400-500 ohm-m CSAMT anomaly. Possible repeats of the apparently structurally controlled CSAMT anomaly occur to the south and the anomalies also appear to extend to the east and west along strike. A large 2.2km by 1.5km, north-east, shallow dipping anomaly occurs less than 1km to the south-west. The anomaly appears to be contiguous across multiple CSAMT lines, with the top of the anomaly expressing a depth range from 0-500m (possibly daylighting towards the west). Field crews have collected surface samples above the anomalies. Assays are pending.
The magnetic data and historic mapping indicate the area is structurally complex. Structural preparation of host rocks is considered important in many mineral systems because structures provide conduits for mineralising fluids. Furthermore, demagnetised zones in the magnetic data have a strong correlation with the large CSAMT anomaly indicative of fluid flow and magnetically destructive alteration. The host rock across the region has been mapped predominately as paragneiss and orthogneiss with various cross cutting intrusive rock units. Discrete magnetic highs have been interpreted as diorite intrusions. The geology, geochemistry and geophysical signatures seen at Boundary Prospect are analogous to the Goodpaster Prospect and Pogo Gold Mine.
The Goodpaster Prospect and Pogo Gold Mine are structurally controlled, with alteration and associated gold and sulphide mineralised zones expressed as subtle resistivity contrasts (i.e. weakly conductive). Intrusive rocks provide the source for mineralisation and provide the heat to drive mineralising processes. Diorite (an intrusive rock with a strong magnetic signature) is known to be spatially important to mineralisation at the Pogo Gold Mine. Therefore, the combination of magnetics data, with existing ground acquired CSAMT lines provides a very powerful tool for identifying potential fluid pathways, likely structural controls for mineralisation and locations of intrusive rocks. As the known mineralisation in the region is relatively shallow dipping there need not be a surface expression of mineralisation (i.e. a “blind” deposit) making geophysics a crucial tool.
