YIDBY GOLD PROJECT (100%)

Drilling to Commence Next Week

Up to 4,000m of RC drilling is scheduled to:

  • Drill the untested new Discovery zone MMI surface geochemical anomalies

  • Extend the strike length of previous drilling at the new Discovery zone

  • Extend the main Yidby Road gold mineralisation to the north, the northwest and the southeast

Drill and case pre-collars for planned diamond drilling

Surefire Resources NL (ASX: SRN, SRNOC) has planned, and will now enact the next phase of drilling at the Yidby Road Gold Prospect. Reverse circulation drilling will commence next week.

Up to 4,000m of 6” face sampling reverse circulation (RC) is planned to grow the gold mineralised footprint at the Yidby Road Gold Project (refer figure 2 below). The Surefire Yidby Gold Project is a blind discovery, hidden beneath 10 to 30m of barren overburden.

The planned drilling has multiple aims:

  • To drill test a previously untested MMI gold anomaly in the Yidby discovery zone. A large MMI anomaly located approximately 100m to north-west of the Yidby Road Gold Deposit will be tested with a total of 11 RC holes to 100m deep. Drilling, west to east, is planned to cover the entire anomalous area ( Figure 2 ). Previous drilling of anomalies in the discovery zones have provided wide down hole gold intersections;

  • To test for along strike extensions to the discovery zone gold MMI geochemistry anomalies;

  • To drill test the extensions to the main Yidby Road Gold Deposit. The current gold envelope is open to the north, to the northwest, and to the southeast; and

  • To drill pre-collars for diamond drill holes. Diamond drilling will provide information for further structural analysis and will be a requirement for future resource analysis.

A feature of the Surefire Yidby Road Gold Project is robust wide downhole gold drilling intersections ( Table 1 ).

About Yidby

The Yidby Gold Project is well located on the Great Northern Highway, 40km southwest of Paynes Find in the Mid-West of Western Australia, and in the southern portion of the Yalgoo-Singleton Greenstone Belt, part of the mid to late-Archaean Youanmi Terrane.

The Project comprises three granted exploration licences with a total area of 114 km² and includes three prospects where significant gold mineralisation has been identified. They are associated with historical workings at Delaney Well and Cashens Find, and a Surefire’s new discovery at Yidby Road Gold Prospect. The Yidby Road Gold Deposit is a blind deposit , lying beneath 10 to 25m of largely barren transported overburden that masks the mineralisation. Surefire’s extensive use of MMI geochemistry and targeted drilling has continued to successfully delineate extensive gold mineralisation. The deposit is characterised by thick intercepts with high grade gold cores. The Project is surrounded by several significant gold deposits, including the +1.1 million-ounce Minjar Gold Project approximately 65km to the northwest, the 1 million-ounce Kirkalocka Gold Project approximately 70km to the northeast, the 2.1Moz Mount Gibson Gold Project 30km to the south (28 July 2021 ASX: CMM) and the 0.54Moz Rothsay Gold Project 30km to the west (Egan Street Resources, 12 February 2019).

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria Commentary
Sampling techniques  Reverse Circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m samples weighing
approximately 3kg from the splitter on the cyclone and submitted to the
laboratory (Nagrom laboratories).
 The entire sample was crushed to -2mm then either riffle-split then
pulverised to 95% passing 75 micron to produce a 50g charge for Fire Assay
gold (Au) analysis.
 Selected samples in zones of lower prospectivity were composited to 4m
after the crushing stage at the lab before 50g charge Fire Assay analysis.
Where grades of >0.1 g/t Au are returned for the composite the individual
1m samples are assayed for that zone.
Drilling techniques  Reverse Circulation drilling was completed using a face sampling hammer.
Drill sample recovery  RC drilling was bagged on 1m intervals and an estimate of sample recovery
has been made on the size of each sample.
 The cyclone is shut off when collecting the sample and released to the
sample bags at the completion of each metre to ensure no cross
contamination. If necessary, the cyclone is flushed out if sticky clays are
encountered.
 Samples were weighed at the laboratoryto allow comparative analysis.
Logging  Geological logging was conducted per 1m sample with lithologies and
weathering zones being documented throughout.
 Representative samples from the “green bags” are sieved and in fresh rock,
washed,andplaced in chiptrays for each hole.
Sub-sampling techniques and
sample preparation
 Not applicable to this announcement
 Every 1m RC interval was sampled as a dry primary sample in a calico bag off
the cyclone/splitter.
 Drill sample preparation and analysis carried out at registered laboratory
(Nagrom Laboratories). Sample preparation is dry pulverisation to 95%
passing 75 microns.
 Field sample procedures involve the insertion of registered Standards and
duplicates generally every 25m and offset.
 Sampling is carried out using standard protocols as per industry practice.
 Sample sizes range typically from 2 to 3kg and are deemed appropriate to
provide an accurate indication ofgold mineralisation.
Quality of assay data and
laboratory tests
 Gold assays at Nagrom Laboratories in Perth, WA, using a 50g charge for Fire
Assay gold (Au) total analysis.
 Selected samples in zones of lower prospectivity were composited to 4m
after the crushing stage at the lab before 50g charge Fire Assay analysis.
Where grades of >0.1 g/t Au are returned for the composite the individual
1m samples are assayed for that zone.
 Field sample procedures involve the insertion of registered Standards and
duplicates generally every 25m and offset. Standards and duplicate assays
are also completed at the Lab.
Verification of sampling and
assaying
 Selected intersections have been calculated at various cut-off grades,
including a 0.1g/t minimum cut-off for the “mineralised envelope” and
including “economic” cut-off grades applicable to the significant
intersections (e.g. 0.3 g/t Au, 1.0 g/t Au). Where internal waste is included
the included zone must average above the stated cut-offgrade to be across

the added interval.
 Geological and sample data was entered into spreadsheets on site and
stored on the Company’s database.
Location of data points  Siting of planned drillholes was completed using a DGPS and adjusted with
hand-held GPS where necessary. Final collar locations will be surveyed using
DGPS, which will also provide topographic data.
 Grid system MGA 2020, Zone 50.
 Downhole surveys have been completed while drilling on recent deeper
holes using a REFLEX Gyro Tool. Open hole surveys will be completed on all
previous and current holes notyet surveyed,subject to blockages downhole.
Data spacing and distribution  Sample data down hole is at no more than 1m intervals (with selected
intervals composited at the lab).
 Data spacing in terms of pierce points varies from 25m to 100m from
previous intersections. Assessment as to whether sufficient data has been
generated to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for (JORC 2012) Mineral Resource estimation procedure(s) is
underway and, if necessary, additional drilling will be carried out to establish
continuity.
Orientation of data in relation to
geological structure
 Drilling orientation is designed to test the mineralisation at as close as
possible to orthogonal to the mineralisation, therefore not biasing the
sampling or intersection lengths.
 All intersections are downhole widths with the true widths not determined
at this earlystage of exploration.
Sample security  Samples transported by Company personnel direct to the Laboratory as soon
aspossible after drilling.
Audits or reviews  A full review of QAQC data will be completed once all results received.

Exploration done by other parties
Previous exploration work has been completed by Normandy and Monarch
Gold. Normandy work included aircore drilling and limited RC drilling,
including at the Yidby Gold Prospect. Drilling intersections in easterly
oriented drilling were followed up by Surefire using westerly oriented holes
and the Normandy drilling was shown to be drilled in the wrong orientation
for the easterlydippingmineralised structures.
Geology  Gold mineralisation at the project is orogenic, hosted within quartz veining
with minor sulphides in ultramafic/mafic lithologies and felsic porphyry
intrusions.
