ASX/Media Release 8 June 2021
Commencement of Drilling Operations at Gigante Grande
Resources & Energy Group Limited (ASX: REZ or the Company) advise that drilling operations at the Gigante Grande Prospect will resume on Wednesday 9[th] June. The work will be targeting a number of structures which have been identified from exploration completed to date, with emphasis on resource generation.
Drilling Activities
Since October 2020, the company has completed 44 holes at Gigante Grande for an advance of 6007m. The drilling activities completed so far have identified an extensive vein and shear hosted gold system within the Gigante Granite along its contact with the Moriarty Shear Zone.
The mineralised zone is up to 300m wide, has a strike length of at least 1400m and is open to the north, south and west. Broad zones of ore grade mineralisation have been intersected in this area from depths as shallow as 11m. The resource remains untested below 200m.
The mineralised structures are interpreted to be associated with a steeply dipping high rheological contrast zone between the Gigante Granite on the west and Greenstones on the east. In general, the productive gold zone runs North South through the entire length of the Gigante Grande prospect area.
Within this zone the structural pattern emerging is one characterised by the primary North -South Moriarty Shear zone, and subsidiary “S” shears which splay NNW off the MSZ and into the Gigante Granite. Along its length the MSZ and the “S” shears are themselves offset by secondary East-West “T” shears, refer figure 1. Mineralisation appears to be associated with the confluence of “S” and “T” structures which act as a structural trap.
Gigante Grande is highly prospective. Thirty holes including 4 holes drilled previously by Paddington Gold have intersected gram level gold mineralisation. Collectively, 100 intervals of mineralisation ranging in thickness from 1 to 27m, with an accumulated thickness of 434m, has been intersected so far. This represents approximately 7% of the total drilling metres completed at the prospect by the Company to date. At a COG of 0.3g/t Au these mineralised intervals have a combined weighted grade of 2.29gt/au. These results are strong indicators that the Gigante Grande Prospect offers potential to a support an exceptionally large, and shallow, open cut gold mining operation.
Superimposed on Figure 1 are the locations for the next round of drilling investigations. A total of 26 boreholes are planned for an advance of 3580m. The work has been designed enable 1st pass resource generation between N6714500 and N6715600 including extension of mineralisation north of

Figure 2 Regional Location Plan
For resource growth, the company’s focus is presently exploring the eastern side of the project area. On the western side of the project area scoping and pit optimisation studies to investigate opportunities for renewed mining operations in M29/189 Granny Venn, M29/141 Goodenough, and M29/427 Maranoa have commenced. As part of this program the company recently upgraded the JORC 2012 MRE for M29/141-Goodneough which now stands at 37.5k oz indicated and 5.2k oz inferred for a total Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 42.7k oz of Gold. Resource work comprising grade control drilling on remnant resources within the Granny Venn open pit has also commenced.

In Queensland, the company has a 12km2 Mineral Development Licence over the Mount Mackenzie Mineral Resource and retains a further 15km2 as an Exploration Permit. These Development and Exploration Licences are in the Connors-Auburn Arc and are prospective for high, intermediate, and low sulphidation gold and base metals mineralisation. The current resource has been estimated at 3.42Mt @ 1.18g/t gold and 9g/t silver for a total of 129,000 oz gold and 862k oz silver. A drilling program is currently underway at Mount Mackenzie to investigate primary mineralisation below the current drilled extents and to recover cored intervals through the entire ore body for comprehensive metallurgical testing.
