FIRST ASSAYS CONFIRM HIGH-GRADE CU-AU-AG-MO POTENTIAL ALONG >15KM LONG CORRIDOR

Sunshine Gold Limited (ASX:SHN, “ Sunshine Gold ”, “ the Company ”) is pleased to present the first drilling results from the Keans Cu-Au-Ag-Mo prospect (“ Keans ”), Ravenswood West.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Keans is one of at least 8 prospects along the >15km long Cu-Au-Ag-Mo corridor at Ravenswood West. The corridor has the potential to host a number of deposits with various degrees of high-grade Cu-Au-Ag-Mo.

  • Recently, 15 RC holes were drilled at Keans and assays for 4 of those holes have now been received and confirm significant Cu-Au-Ag-Mo mineralisation. Results for the remaining 11 holes are expected in December 2021. Results to date include (Figure 1):

  • 12m @ 1.43% Cu, 33.07 g/t Ag, 0.03% Mo from 81m, 21KNRC004

    • Including 3m @ 4.11% Cu, 120.27 g/t Ag, 0.07% Mo from 89m, 21KNRC004
  • 4m @ 5.56 g/t Ag, 0.41% Mo from 21m, 21KNRC005

  • 6m @ 0.49 % Cu, 2.06 g/t Au, 4.96 g/t Ag, 0.09 % Mo from 51m, 21KNRC006 Including 2m @ 1.03% Cu, 6.02 g/t Au, 12.59 g/t Ag, 0.20 % Mo from 55m, 21KNRC006

  • 1m @ 0.44% Cu, 2.29 g/t Au, 5.63 g/t Ag, 0.10 % Mo from 41m, 21KNRC006

  • 1m @ 0.40% Cu, 1.12 g/t Au, 14.13 g/t Ag, 0.04% ppm Mo from 44m, 21KNRC006

  • 11m @ 0.30% Cu, 0.05 g/t Au, 7.05 g/t Ag, 0.11 % ppm Mo from 40m, 21KNRC009

  • Early results from rock-chip sampling and mapping at Gagarin and first drilling at Keans and Titov have reaffirmed the prospectivity of the 15km long Cu-Au-Ag-Mo corridor (Figure 2). Copper and molybdenum have been identified as critical minerals, essential for electrification and other strategic purposes.

Sunshine Gold’s Managing Director, Damien Keys commented: “We are particularly pleased to see high-grade intervals of gold, copper and molybdenum at Keans. Our understanding of the mineral system improves with every assay batch returned. We now have first geochemical drill data on two out of eight, large-scale Cu-Au-Ag-Mo targets along the prospective 15km corridor. We are eagerly awaiting assays for the remaining 11 holes drilled at Keans, 6 holes drilled at Titov and geological information from the deep diamond hole commencing in coming days at Titov.”

KEANS DRILL PROGRAM (Sunshine Gold 100%)

A 15 hole (1,830m) reconnaissance program was completed at the Keans Cu-Au-Ag-Mo prospect during October 2021. The program tested a suite of outcropping quartz–sulphide veins and geophysical targets. The drilling intersected discrete veins with chlorite–sericite alteration haloes. The veins contained abundant sulphide (see Figure 1), particularly in holes drilled near the historic gold mines (Shaft A and Heuirs Shaft).

Keans is a series of outcropping quartz–sulphide veins within a granodiorite that were initially worked for gold in the 1930s. The two shafts, Shaft A and Heuirs Shaft, were sunk to depths of ~20m and ~7m respectively. No production totals are available. However, Shaft A reported mined grades of 28 g/t Au near the top of the shaft decreasing to 3 g/t Au at the base. Heuirs Shaft reported 46 g/t Au mined grades at top of the workings decreasing to 15 g/t Au at base (Company Report #465) .

Figure 3. Location of recent significant intersections.

The first documented exploration at Keans in 1959, noted high amounts of molybdenite within the shaft spoils which led explorers to target porphyry-style mineralisation. Rock chip samples taken from the prospect were highly encouraging, including highest values of 25% Cu, 1.03% Mo, 8.7 g/t Au and 183 oz/t Ag across various samples (Company Report #465) .

Between 1959 and 1962, 8 diamond holes were drilled at Keans. Assay information is limited to select intersections of Cu, Au, Ag and Mo. Both the drill core and the “drill sludge” were assayed. Assays from core record impressive Mo results including 3.3m @ 1.02% Mo (Hole R1) and 13.8m @ 0.26% Mo (Hole R4). Gold showed a best intercept of 3m @ 1.36 g/t Au (Hole R2) from sludge sampling. This result, whilst deemed unreliable, highlights the potential for gold in the system. Elevated silver including 0.5m @ 61 g/t Ag (Hole R6) was also recorded. No further drilling has been recorded at Keans.

Recent field mapping of Keans shows two dominant vein orientations. Mo and Cu (malachite and azurite) are commonly seen in both vein sets. A series of 1-4m thick, north-south oriented veins are mapped with a moderate, westerly dips and are laterally continuous for up to 200m in areas. In 1962, 3 east-west oriented costeans were cut to sample prominent north-south veins (Figure 4). A second set of east-west oriented veins has also been mapped throughout the prospect. The east-west veins are often narrower (50cm-2m thickness) but are typically sheeted and are believed to be the mineralisation host in Shaft A. Many of the significant rock chip assays reported have been sampled from the east-west oriented veining.

A major regional fault, easily defined in magnetics, passes to the south of Keans. The fault is inferred to be the Buck Reef Fault, a key structural feature of the Ravenswood Gold Mine (>9 Moz Au). In the Ravenswood Gold Mine, higher gold grades are observed on structures near the intersection with the Buck Reef Fault.

The recent reconnaissance drilling program was designed to test several veins south of Keans near the Buck Reef Fault for signs of enrichment, including:

  • Assess the Cu-Au-Ag-Mo prospectivity of both north-south and east-west oriented vein sets, especially near untested historic workings: and

  • Assess veins in the south of Keans that may be associated with the regionally significant Buck Reef Fault.

ABOUT SUNSHINE GOLD

Sunshine Gold is focused on its high-quality gold and copper projects in Queensland comprising a 100% interest in the Triumph, Hodgkinson, Investigator and Ravenswood West projects.

Ravenswood West Gold-Copper-Rare Earth Project

(EPM 26041, EPM 26152, EPM 26303, EPM 26304, EPM 27824, EPM 27825: 100%)

kms of the Ravenswood Mining Centre (4 Moz Au produced, a further 4.3 Moz Au in Resource and 1.8 Moz in Ore Reserves). The Ravenswood Mining Centre was purchased by EMR Capital and Golden Energy & Resources Ltd. (SGX:AUE) in 2020 for up to $300m and is presently subject to a ~$200m upgrade. In addi�on, there are three other gold mills within 100 km, two of which are toll trea�ng.

The Project is highly prospec�ve for intrusion-related and orogenic gold, porphyry gold-copper-molybdenum and rare earth elements. Ravenswood West covers 20-25 km of strike along a major fault that links Pajingo (4 Moz) and Ravenswood (9.8 Moz) and contains numerous historic gold workings.

Triumph Gold Project (EPM18486, EPM19343: 100%)

1879-1941. The project is located 50km south of the mining hub of Gladstone and comprises tenements covering 138km[2] . Triumph is located within the Wandilla Province of the New England Orogen. Nearby large gold deposits include Mt Rawdon (2.8 Moz Au), Mt Morgan (8 Moz Au and 0.4 Mt Cu) and Cracow (2 Moz Au). Triumph is a 15km² intrusion related gold system which has the poten�al to host both discrete high-grade vein deposits and large-scale, shear hosted gold deposits.

Hodgkinson Gold Copper Project (EPM18171, EPM19809, EPM25139, EPM27539, EPM27574, EPM27575: 100%)

Hodgkinson is located 100km north east of Cairns in North Queensland. The project comprises tenements covering 365km[2] . The project is situated between the Palmer River alluvial gold field (1.35 Moz Au) and the historic Hodgkinson gold field (0.3 Moz Au) and incorporates the Elephant Creek Gold, Peninsula Gold-Copper and Campbell

Creek Gold prospects. Hodgkinson has been extensively explored for tungsten, owing to its proximity to the Watershed and Mt Carbine tungsten deposits, but underexplored for gold. BHP-Utah Interna�onal completed stream sediment sampling across the project in the late 1980’s and confirmed that the area was anomalous in gold as well as tungsten.

Investigator Copper Project (EPM27344, EPM27345: 100%)

Inves�gator comprises tenements covering 115km[2] . It is located 110km north of Mt Isa and 12km south of the Mt Gordon Copper Mine. Inves�gator has seen no modern explora�on and importantly, no holes have been drilled in the most prospec�ve stra�graphic and structural posi�ons.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition TABLE 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data (Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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 gold that
has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual
commodities
or mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
Historical Drilling:
Keans – Diamond full core samples alongside sludge samples.
(CR476 & CR1776). It is believed those reported in this release
were core samples.
Sunshine Gold Drilling:
Reverse circulation (RC) drilling was used to obtain samples for
geological logging and assaying.
All holes were assayed in their entirety as individual 1m
samples.
Individual samples were collected from the cyclone using an
87.5/12.5 rig-mounted splitter.
Once received by the laboratory, sample preparation consisted
of the drying of the sample, the entire sample being crushed to
70% passing 6mm and pulverised to 85% passing 75 microns in
a ring and puck pulveriser.
RC samples were assayed for gold by 50g fire assay with OES
finish and multielement analysis was completed using an 4AD
ICP-MS analysis.
Drilling
techniques
Drill
type
(e.g.
core,
reverse
circulation,
open-hole
hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic,
etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter,
triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling bit or
other type, whether core is oriented
and if so, by what method, etc.).
Historical Drilling:
Keans –Diamond drilling, unorientated, collaring in NX size,
reducing to BX around 34ft, AX at 49ft and EX at 99ft (Hole R1).
Sunshine Gold Drilling:
All holes were collared using an 8” bit to 10m, and then drilled
using Reverse Circulation utilising a 5.5” face sampling RC
hammer.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
• Whether
a
relationship
exists
between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.
Historical Drilling:
Keans –Recoveries for holes R1 to R6 averaged 83.4%
(CR1776).
Sunshine Gold Drilling:
For RC sample recoveries of less than approximately 80% are
noted in the geological/sampling log. No such samples were
recorded during this drill program.
Wet samples are also recorded in the geological/sampling log.
Any significant wet zones (>6m) were to be flagged; however
no such zones were identified in the drilling.
No relationship has been observed between sample recovery
and grade.
Logging

• Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate
Mineral
Resource
estimation,
mining
studies
and
metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc.) photography.
• The total length and percentage of
the relevant intersections logged.
Historical Drilling:
Keans –Holes reportedly logged in full but only log for hole R1
located. No photos are available.
Sunshine Gold Drilling:
All drill holes are geologically logged in full.
Geology logs include lithology, alteration, mineralisation,
veining and weathering types, styles and intensities.
All RC chip trays are photographed.
Sub- sampling
techniques,
sample
preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether
sampled wet or dry.
• For all sample types, the nature,
quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted
for
all
sub-sampling
stages
to
maximise representivity of samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in-
situ material collected, including for
instance
results
for
field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate
to the grain size of the material being
sampled.
Titov:North Broken Hill & New Consolidated Gold Fields –
Initial selective samples taken by New Broken Hill, followed
up by full half core repeat sampled of NBH core by NCGF, and
on NCGF core.
Planet Metals – Diamond holes were typically sampled as half
core in 5ft intervals; Dust holes were sampled in 5ft intervals
after splitting.
Placer – RC samples were riffle split to 5kg and composited
over 2m. Core samples were half core and composited to 2m.
Sunshine Gold Drilling:
The 1m primary RC samples were obtained using a cyclone
mounted 87.5:12.5 riffle splitter. Compressed air was used to
clean the splitter after each drill rod. Duplicate samples were
taken routinely using a second split off the main cyclone for the
selected interval. Samples are recorded if dry or wet when
collected from the cyclone. QAQC samples (Standards,
Duplicates, Blanks) were submitted at a frequency of at least 1
in 10.
Sample sizes and preparation techniques are considered
appropriate. The sample sizes are considered appropriate for
the nature of mineralisation within the project area.

verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to
assay data.
Historical Datasets:
Historical data is reported as per the open file reports. No
twinned holes are available for direct correlation to drill hole.
Primary data is largely unavailable. Internal validation has been
undertaken by SHN personnel. Historical depth intervals have
been converted from feet into metres. No conversions on
assays have been undertaken here.
SHN drilling will assist in validating some of the historical
intercepts.
Sunshine Gold Drilling:
Significant intersections are routinely monitored through
review of drill chip and by site visits by the Exploration
Manager.
Data is verified and checked in Leapfrog software.
No drill holes were twinned.
Primary data is collected via hard copy documentation and
subsequently entered into spreadsheet format. This is then
validated and uploaded to a secure external database, which in
turn has further validation checks.
No adjustments have been applied to assay data and is loaded
directly from the laboratory deliverable.

Location of data
points
• Accuracy and quality of surveys
used to locate drill holes (collar and
down-hole surveys), trenches, mine
workings and other locations used in
Mineral Resource estimation.
• Specification of the grid system
used.

Quality
and
adequacy
of
topographic control.
Historical Drilling:
Keans – Collar locations are approximates only and are
calculated using a historical maps roughly registered into
GDA94 Zone 55 projection.
Sunshine Gold Drilling:
Drill hole collar locations are initially set out (and reported)
using a hand-held GPS with a location error of +/- 3m. All
completed holes are capped and marked and will be accurately
surveyed via DGPS at a later date. The drill rig was aligned at
the collar location by the site Geologist using a sighting
compass.
Down hole surveys were completed using a Reflex digital
survey system routinely at intervals of 15m hole depth, 30m
hole depth, and every 30m thereafter to end of hole.
Measurements were taken as a pull back from the RC hammer
at the midpoint of a non-magnetic stainless-steel rod. All
drilling is conducted on MGA94 Zone 55 grid system.
A topographic survey of the project area has partially been
conducted using an in-house drone survey. Collar elevations
have not been adjusted to this surface and use the elevation as
stated on the GPS device.
Data Spacing and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of
Exploration Results.
• Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to establish
the degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s)
and
classifications
applied.
• Whether sample compositing has
been applied.
Historical Drilling:
Historical drill holes were exploration holes only and therefore
did not have a set spacing. The holes were considered
appropriately located for the target.
Sunshine Gold Drilling:
The drilling has been conducted to determine exploration
potential at the prospect and is of insufficient density to
establish geological and grade continuity appropriate for a
Mineral Resource. No subsequent sample compositing has
been applied on the raw assay results for the reported
intervals.
Orientationof
data in relation
to geological
structure

Whether the orientation of
sampling achieves unbiased sampling
of possible structures and the extent
to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.

If the relationship between the
drilling
orientation
and
the
orientation
of
key
mineralised
structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.
Historical Drilling:
Drill holes in order to intersect the interpreted mineralisation
trends as orthogonal (perpendicular) as possible. These trends
were determined using surface geology and target
interpretations.
Sunshine Gold Drilling:
Drilling is targeting mapped veining in two orientations. Drilling
is designed to intersect interpreted veins as orthogonally
(perpendicular) as possible. Future drilling is likely to include
diamond core to further assess structural relationships.

Sample security
Audits or reviews

The measures taken to ensure
sample security.
Historical Datasets:
No information on sample security is available.
Sunshine Gold Drilling:
Samples were collected daily in pre-numbered Calico sample
bags by the on-site Field Technician and subsequently stored in
sealed plastic bags. These were then transported to laboratory
upon the completion of 2 – 5 drill holes via field staff.

The results of any audits or
reviews of sampling techniques and
data.
Historical Datasets:
Sampling techniques and data are considered standard for the
time at which they were collected. As with all historical
datasets, there is an acknowledged gap in the available
information and as such should be treated with caution.
Sunshine Gold Drilling:
The sampling techniques are regularly reviewed during the
program and further review will take place prior to future
drilling.

Geology • Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.
The Ravenswood West Project area is located within open file
100k map sheet area 8257.
The project is hosted within the Ravenswood Batholith of the
Charters Towers Province, which consists primarily of
Ordovician to Silurian granitoids and lesser sedimentary
packages. The area is considered by SHN to be prospective for
orogenic and intrusion-related gold deposits, as well as
granitoid-related copper, molybdenum, silver and rare earth
deposits. There also appears to be prospectivity for MVT
deposits on the fringes of the tenement area.

Dataaggregation
methods
• In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting
averaging
techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.

Where
aggregate
intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high- grade
results and longer lengths of low grade
results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some
typical examples of such aggregations
should be shown in detail.
• The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.
Historical drilling results are reported as previously reported in
open file data.
As SHN samples are metre intervals only, no weighting
calculations have been made. Cut-off grades for reported
significant intercepts are labelled in Table 1. Intervals can
include a maximum of 3m consecutive dilution providing grade
is carried.
No metal equivalents are used in the reporting of
intersections.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths

These
relationships
are
particularly important in the reporting
of Exploration Results.

If
the
geometry
of
the
mineralisation with respect to the drill
hole angle is known, its nature should
be reported.
• If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there should
be a clear statement to this effect (e.g.
‘down hole length, true width not
known’).
The geometry of the mineralisation is subject to ongoing
interpretation and as such intervals are reported in downhole
length only.
Refer JORC Table 1, Section 1.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections
(with
scales)
and
tabulations
of
intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported
These should include, but not be limited
to a plan view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate sectional
views.
Refer to figures contained within this report.
Balanced reporting
Where
comprehensive
reporting of all Exploration Results is
not
practicable,
representative
reporting of both low and
high
grades and/or widths should be
practiced,
to
avoid
misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
All results are presented in figures and tables contained within
this report.
