OUTCROPPING GOLD SYSTEM IDENTIFIED - ASSAY RESULTS 2020, 64NORTH PROJECT, ALASKA
Executive Summary
-
Extensive outcropping gold system, Sunrise Prospect , returns 93m @ 0.29 g/t Au in surface trenching.
-
Shallow RAB drilling can commence in March on the road-accessible fully permitted Sunrise Prospect.
-
Aurora Prospect drilling intersected multiple quartz veins with no significant gold mineralisation.
-
E1 & Sunrise Prospects trenching results are consistent with typical Fort Knox style mineral systems.
-
The focus of drilling for 2021 will be the shallow high-grade potential East Pogo Block targets (previously announced) and the road-side shallow Sunrise Prospect intrusion hosted gold system.
Sunrise Prospect, West Pogo Block - Adjacent to the Aurora Prospect
-
Positive assay results as entire 137m of road-cutting samples return elevated gold, demonstrating a shallow intrusion hosted Fort Knox style gold system - typically a 0.1g/t Au cut-off grade is used for large Alaskan Deposits: highlights of RML’s 2020 surface trench sampling
o93m @ 0.29g/t Au - including 27m @ 0.53g/t Au; max 1m interval of @ 1.89g/t Au; ando38m @ 0.14g/t Au. -
Fort Knox* gold mine currently produces 200k oz Au/year from a 2.8M oz Au @ 0.3g/t Au proven & probable mineral reserve, is owned by Kinross - located at the nearby city of Fairbanks.
-
The Sunrise mineralisation falls within a broad 1100m x 400m, >25ppb Au historic soil anomaly adjacent to drill hole AGGP-1: 32m @ 0.28g/t Au from 9m including 0.5m @ 5.26g/t Au from 33m.
-
Gold mineralisation is interpreted to be derived from a large-scale granite that extends 1km southwards. It is poorly exposed, partially covered by surface geochemistry and untested by drilling.
-
• Road-side shallow RAB drilling on an initial 25 hole, 3000m program will test the large-scale potential system and is planned to commence in March 2021.
Aurora Prospect, West Pogo Block
- The last two (2) diamond drill holes (20AU08 and 20AU09) intersected multiple quartz veins following up the 7m thick quartz vein in hole #7. No significant assays were encountered.

Managing Director, Duncan Chessell comments - continued:
During 2020, we focussed on road accessible high-grade Pogo style gold targets on the West Pogo Block adjacent to the Pogo Gold Mine with a 5,000m diamond drill core program. Our team utilised advanced modern geophysics, achieving technical success - intersecting the target quartz vein on each of the last three diamond core drill holes. Disappointingly we ended 2020 without high-grade Pogo style success on West Pogo. Late in the season, when working along the Aurora Prospect access road we took the opportunity to assess the Fort Knox style, intrusion hosted gold potential, of outcropping granites on the Sunrise Prospect. The entire 137m of road-cutting samples contain elevated gold consistent with an intrusion hosted gold system, which are typically mined with a 0.1g/t Au cut-off grade in large scale Alaskan Deposits, such as at the nearby 11.5M oz Au endowed Fort Knox Mine.
Today’s positive results at the Sunrise Prospect should not take away focus from the standout drill targets developed at the East Pogo Block, which has emerged as shallow (<150m) potential high-grade Pogo style mineralisation to be drill tested in Summer 2021.
The focus of drilling for 2021 on the 64North Project will be the shallow high-grade potential East Pogo Block targets (previously announced) and the road-side shallow Sunrise Prospect intrusion hosted gold system using cost effective RAB drilling.
Resolution continues to hunt for big scale gold and copper targets in big country in 2021 - Alaska and the Northern Territory.

Sunrise Prospect
Drill Targeting Sunrise Prospect
Roadside drilling of 25 RAB holes, 3000m of shallow (100-150m depth) reconnaissance cost-effective drilling is planned to test the size extent of the Sunrise Prospect ( Figure 4 ). With drill permits already granted, Resolution intends to commence drilling in March 2021 (early Spring).
The previously built RML access road to the Aurora Prospect, fortuitously transects the full strike extent of the Sunrise Prospect soil anomaly (1100m), allowing for a logistically simple fence-line of drill holes. The fence-line will test the depth and strike extent of the known mineralisation and will include areas of poor exposure beyond the limits of the soil anomaly, interpreted to be intrusives. Furthermore, the drilling will define the structures controlling mineralisation. Upon success, follow up drilling would be planned south of the Pogo Mine road, where the intrusion is interpreted to continue for at least 1km ( Figure 3 ). The three pre-existing drill holes and rock chips are also known as the “AT” or “Anglo Trench” Prospect by previous explorers. The proximity to the Pogo Mine infrastructure (<5km) and scale potential of the intrusion (1500m x 1200m) are both considered very positive for the advancement of the prospect.
Geology
The Sunrise Prospect geology is comprised of a quartz-felspar-biotite granite intrusive cross-cut by sheeted quartz veins, which are a distinguishing feature of intrusion hosted gold systems (e.g. Fort Knox). The granite outcrops in a relatively small area (metre scale), which falls within a larger zone of geochemical anomalism (1100m x 400m) ( Figure 3 ).

ASX RELEASE
Overall, the outcrop exposure is limited surrounding the Sunrise Prospect, however based on limited historic mapping and recently acquired airborne magnetic data, RML interpret the causative intrusion to extend at least 1km to the south, for a total footprint of size of at least 1500m x 1200m ( Figure 3 ). The limited granite outcrop in the area, coincides with a broad, area of low magnetic response, partially rimmed by a magnetic high (possible thermal aureole), which is a typical geophysical response for granitic plutons.
Surface geochemistry only covers half of the interpreted pluton ( Figure 3 ), with the southern portion occurring on a north facing aspect. Typically, north facing aspects in this region indicate thicker cover material (aeolian - loess), which would obscure the geochemical response from the underlying rocks.
Historic drilling was only selectively sampled based on vein density and alteration. Positively, many of the 2020 road cutting samples undertaken by RML, which returned results exceeding 1g/t Au, were in fact absent of veining and alteration ( Figure 5 - Sample 7075529) – and would likely have been overlooked by pervious explorers. Sampling of historic hole AGGP-01 halts at 64m with 51m to 61m (an interval of 10m) @ 0.2 g/t Au, and no further samples were assayed from 64m to completion of the drill hole at 188m. Therefore, the assessment for intrusion hosted gold potential, in the selectively sampled historic drilling is considered inconclusive and the location of historic drill core is unknown.
A fantastic opportunity has been presented to RML to fully assess the Sunrise Prospect gold mineralisation, through low-cost reconnaissance fence-line RAB drilling along an existing road.
West Pogo Block Geological Context
The West Pogo Block is located within the Pogo Trend, which includes both Northern Star’s Pogo Gold Mine (11Moz) and Goodpaster Prospect (ASX:NST) and Tectonic Metals Tibbs Project (TSXV:TECT) ( Figure 1 ). The Sunrise Prospect area is located <5km along strike (SW) of the Pogo Gold Mine and <4km SSW of the Goodpaster Prospect ( Figure 2 ). The Sunrise Prospect is an intrusion hosted style of gold mineralisation akin to the Fort Knox Mine located near Fairbanks, with the geology dominated by a quartz-feldspar-biotite granite intrusion.
Intrusion hosted systems are typical large tonnage and low grade. To put this into context, the Fort Knox Mineral Resource Estimate (effective 31 December 2017) as reported in the 2018 Kinross Gold Corporation NI43-101 technical report includes combine Measured & Indicated Resource of 117Mt @ 0.33g/t Au (1.26Moz Au), based on a 0.1g/t Au cut-off grade (Sims, 2018). Fort Knox is a highly profitable open-pit gold mine with ore processed at a mill and heap leach facility adjacent to the nearby major town of Fairbanks with a historic maximum production of 400,000 oz Au / year and as produced over 8M oz of gold in total. Annual production results stated via www.kinross.com and 2019 Annual Mineral Reserve and Resource Statement Fort Knox of 2.8M oz Au @ 0.3 g/t Au Proven & Probable; 2M oz Au @ 0.4 g/t Au Measured & Indicated; 774k Au @ 0.3 g/t Au Inferred with production of 200,263 Oz Au for calendar year 2019.
According to Sims (2018), Fort Knox gold-bismuth-tellurium mineralisation is restricted to the 1100 x 600m Fort Knox Pluton and is strongly structurally controlled. Gold occurs within and along the margins of quartz veins/veinlets, pegmatite veins, within shear zones and along fractures within the granite (Sims, 2018). The orebody is oxidised to the depth of drilling with vein abundances increasing in the vicinity of fault zones (Sims, 2018).
Other intrusion hosted prospects in the Goodpaster District include Northern Star’s Brink Project (514.4m @ 0.427g/t Au) located 37km ESE and Resolution’s E1 Prospect located 25km SW ( Figure 1 ).
Historic surface geochemistry at the Sunrise Prospect includes a >25ppb Au broad (1100m x 400m) soil anomaly, which is marked by a multiple high-grade rock chips up to 5.14g/t Au ( Figure 4 ). Surface mineralisation was

subsequently followed up with 3 diamond drill holes in 2002 (series AGGP-1 to AGGP-3), totalling 1088.73m ( Figure 3, Figure 4 & Figure 7 ). The best historic drill intersection was (HoleID: AGGP-1) 32m @ 0.28 g.t Au from 9m including 0.5m @ 5.26g/t Au from 32.6m ( Figure 4 & Figure 7 ) (see JORC Appendix 3a in this announcement).
The West Pogo Block exhibits geochemical evidence for both intrusion hosted Fort Knox style (Au-As-Bi-Sb) and shallow dipping Pogo style (Au-Bi-Te-As-W) gold mineralisation. Drill testing is warranted on the Sunrise Prospect given the road cut gold grades encountered are consistent with an intrusion hosted gold system (0.1g/t cutoff), the interpreted scale potential of the causative intrusion (1500m x 1200m) and the proximity to existing mine infrastructure (<5km).
The Sunrise Prospect is road accessible; drill permits are in place and drilling can commence in March 2021.

E1 Prospect, Eagle Block
Eagle Block Geological Context
The E1 Prospect ( Figure 1 ) is the same style of mineralisation seen at the Sunrise Prospect, which is large tonnage, low grade, intrusion hosted style of gold mineralisation akin to the Fort Knox Mine.
Historic surface geochemistry at the E1 Prospect includes a >100ppb Au large (10km[2] ) soil anomaly, which is marked by a multiple high-grade rock chips up to 8.08g/t Au ( Figure 8 & Figure 10 ). Surface mineralisation was subsequently followed up with 5 diamond drill holes in 2000 (series EA00-01 to EA00-05) and 9 drill holes in 2004 (series EA0401 to EA04-09), totalling 3053.94m ( Figure 8 & Figure 10 ). The best historic drill intersection was 0.3m @ 14.05g/t Au from 243.3m (see RML ASX announcement 23-July-20).
The Eagle Block exhibits geochemical evidence for intrusion hosted Fort Knox style (Au-As-Bi-Sb) gold mineralisation. Follow up sampling is warranted on the E1 Prospect given the trenching ( Figure 8 & Figure 9 ) gold grades encountered suggest the presence of an intrusion hosted gold system (>0.1g/t cut-off). An access trail has been pushed out to the E1 Prospect and further assessment will be undertaken in 2021.

Aurora Prospect - Central Zone, Diamond Drilling Results - Holes 8 and 9
The final two diamond drillholes for 2020 (20AU08 & 20AU09 – Figure 2 ) intersected dilational zones with multiple quartz veins ( Figure 11 ), no significant results were returned at the “Central Zone” of the Aurora Prospect in these holes. Zones of quartz veining and intense alteration were intersected in both holes with zones of interest from Hole #8 (228-230m, 309-310m, 477-478m & 567-571m) and Hole #9 (112-114m & 212-213m). The technical team are assessing all new information acquired from the drilling (including orientated core structural measurements) in 2020 to determine the next steps for the Aurora, Echo and Reflection Prospects. A consulting structural geological firm has been engaged to complete a robust analysis as part of the technical review process.

| Sampling techniques • Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. 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 (e.g. ‘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 Au that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual _commodities or mineralisation types(e.g. _ |

The sample size is deemed appropriate for the grain size of the material being sampled. Drilling Results Aurora Prospect • Sampling was undertaken using standard industry practices and a standard operating procedure to ensure continuity of work practices between staff. The sections of the core that are selected for assaying are marked up and then recorded on a sample sheet for cutting and sampling at the certified assay laboratory. Samples of Both NQ and HQ core are cut just to the right of the orientation line where available using a diamond core saw, with half core sampled lengthways for assay. Half core was sampled length wise for assay. QAQC samples (standards and blanks) are inserted into the sequences as per industry best practice the details of which are set out below in sub-sampling techniques section. • The NQ and HQ diamond core was sampled as half core at geologically defined or significant alteration and mineralisation boundaries to ensure adequate sample representivity. • Diamond core sample intervals were set between 0.1m minimum and 1.5m maximum. • Individual samples weigh less than 3kg to ensure total preparation at the laboratory pulverisation stage to produce 30gram charge for fire assay.
