West Pogo Prospects Drilling summary

Assays and visual logging of drill core confirm a Pogo-style mineral system is present at Resolution’s Aurora Prospect area. Strong sericite and dolomite alteration is present in the biotite-quartz-feldspar paragneiss and are associated with sulphidebearing quartz veins including arsenopyrite, pyrite, bismuthinite and pyrrhotite. Assays with high levels of arsenic (As), bismuth (Bi) and elevated

ASX RELEASE

Assay Results Hole ID’s 20AU03 and 20AU04

Assays from Aurora drill holes #3 and hole #4 indicate minor gold mineralisation as detailed below. The alteration observed in the drill core matched the CSAMT and ZTEM geophysics anomalies. The Company is encouraged by the strong alteration, presence of minor gold mineralisation, paragneiss host rocks and presence of sulphides indicating the strong fertility of the system. We interpret that correct structural “dilation” event, or opening of “space”, to allow thick high-grade gold mineralisation did not occur at these locations. We conclude these holes intersected thick zones that were clearly the fluid pathways for a large mineralising system and further drilling will target potential high-grade zones of gold mineralisation.

Assay Results Hole ID’s 20EC05, 20RE06 and 20AU07

This was the Company’s third phase of drilling for 2020 on the West Pogo Block adjacent to Northern Star’s (ASX:NST, Northern Star) Pogo Gold Mine, Alaska. The location of the holes drilled so far this year on the West Pogo Block are shown in Figure 5, along with the locations of the Echo, Reflection and Aurora target areas. Also depicted is the location of the Pogo Mine and the Goodpaster deposit located on claims owned by Northern Star. Northern Star has recently indicated that it intends to perform delineation drilling at Goodpaster with a $21 million dollar budget in the coming year and has commenced that program recently. Assay results returned no significant gold intersections for Hole ID’s: 20EC05 Echo, 20RE06 Reflection and 20AU07 Aurora Prospects. Although these results are below expectations, we know from quartz vein hosted gold systems generally and the Pogo Mine and Goodpaster Prospect, that there can be large variations in grade and vein thickness within short distances. The geology team is encouraged by the presence of the 7m thick quartz vein at Hole #7 and it is important to drill more holes into this immediate area to test for grade variation, lateral extents of the vein and possible stacked vein sets nearby, shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

Echo Prospect Hole ID: 20EC05

Hole 20EC05 was drilled to test a strong, gently northwest dipping CSAMT conductor in a prospect area that is down dip and 3.3km from Northern Star’s Goodpaster deposit. Numerous fault zones with some pyrite and strong dolomite-sericite alteration were intersected from 224m to 293m down hole. No anomalous gold results were returned from these zones.

ASX RELEASE

Reflection Prospect Hole ID: 20RE06

At the Reflection prospect, hole 20RE06 was drilled to test conductive rocks in an area where an intrusive rock body was interpreted from airborne magnetic data, 1.4km due east from Northern Star’s Goodpaster deposit. A fault zone with pyrite and arsenopyrite, locally with quartz breccia clasts, was intersected from 279.4m to 289.1m. Also, a zone of stockwork quartz mineralisation was intersected over 0.6 metres starting at a depth of 324.9m. The sulphide mineralisation zones did not contain any anomalous gold.

Aurora Prospect Hole ID: 20AU07

Drilled directly along strike from the Goodpaster deposit, hole 20AU07 intersected a zone of shallowdipping quartz veining over a seven-metre interval starting at 488m down hole. The zone of veining is hosted by paragneiss and is within a sericite – chlorite – dolomite altered zone measuring 22m thick from 476m to 498m. The alteration and veining contains pyrite, arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite. The assay results show only weakly anomalous gold values.

Oriented drill core measurements indicate the vein dips gently at approximately 25-35 degrees to the west. It appears that the structural dilational event which gives rise to the space required for thick sulphide bearing quartz mineralisation to occur has “popped open” in this “central zone” on the northern edge of the Aurora Prospect. This dilational event was the missing ingredient from the other zones tested to date on the Aurora Prospect. The nearest holes are 670m to the west (hole#4) and 950m to the south-east (hole#3) and we believe there is significant exploration space to warrant a concerted effort at this “central zone”.

Collaborative Airborne Magnetics & Radio-metrics Geophysics Surveys

Three blocks were identified for airborne magnetics and radio-metric geophysical surveys to be undertaken on a shared costs basis in collaboration Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) and were completed over RML’s West Pogo, LMS-X and Eagle Blocks. A total of 2,061 line kilometres at 100m line spacing of data was collected. This “base layer” of information is critical to understanding the 64North Project geology and structural setting and sets the Company up well for exploration into the future on the 64North Project. Alaska has less than 10% coverage by modern airborne geophysical surveys at sufficient quality for mineral exploration purposes as compared to Australia which has >95% coverage readily available from government archives. RML is now in a good position to capitalise on the investment made in the first year and focus funds on the ground to follow up the areas of interest highlighted by the various first year geophysical surveys.

ASX RELEASE

Boundary Prospect, East Pogo Block

  • 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.

  • Boundary Prospect located on Pogo Trend between the Pogo Gold Mine and recent discovery by Tectonic Metals on the Tibbs Project.

  • 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 November.

  • Drilling targets for the 2021 summer season will be prioritised after assay results are received.

  • 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.

About ZTEM and Magnetic geophysics surveys

ZTEM (Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic System) is a passive Electromagnetic (EM) technique used to map subsurface resistivity and conductivity. ZTEM can penetrate conductive cover (often causing interference in other EM systems) to depths beyond 1km and is excellent for discriminating subtle resistivity contrasts. The heli-borne magnetic data is being used to define the likely structural controls for mineralisation within the prospect areas. The new data is being analysed in conjunction with knowledge learnt from the current drilling and CSAMT data to define new drill targets and refine existing drill targeting.

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). Therefore, the combination of close spaced airborne ZTEM and magnetics data, with existing wide spaced ground acquired CSAMT lines and drilling data will be a very powerful tool for further defining drill targets within an Intrusion-related Gold System (IRGS) setting. Furthermore, RML collected data across neighbouring Northern Star’s Goodpaster Prospect to allow for direct comparison with potential targets on RML’s ground.

Appendix 1a: Airborne Magnetic Geophysics Survey Results

Airborne magnetics is a passive geophysical technique which measures the total intensity of the Earth’s magnetic field. Variations in magnetic intensity relate to the amount and type of iron rich minerals present within any given rock type. Magnetic data can be used to interpret rock types and map geological boundaries at surface and within the sub-surface when there is sufficient magnetic contrast between neighbouring rock types.

Summary Geophysics 64North Project: 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 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 the 64North Project 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 magnetics data can define the locations of intrusive rocks and the likely structural controls for mineralisation. 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.
