TEM | Quarterly Report - Period Ending 30 June 2021
Key Points
Projects
Yalgoo Region
Tempest has 4 exciting projects in the Yalgoo region of Western Australia totalling more than 900km[2] (>604km[2] granted and 311 km[2] of pending tenure). The projects are located within the prolific Yalgoo Greenstone Belt which hosts a number of world class mines. Tempest has used data driven processes to identify unexplored areas of highly prospective geology which includes multiple instances of proven mineralisation .
Messenger
The Messenger Project comprises three granted tenements and two pending licences located adjacent to the world class EMR Golden Grove base and precious metal mine. The Messenger Project has outcrops of the key Golden Grove Unit and is prospective for VMS and shear / lode hosted gold mineralisation.
The project was further extended into additional prospective ground during the March 2021 quarter [1] and now includes part of the ‘Messengers Patch’ which is a well known historic historic mining centre hosting numerous high-grade mines (up to 10 ounces gold per ton ) and a state battery (government built gold processing facility) in the early 1900s [2,][3] .
Drilling
A 2,100m reconnaissance drill campaign at the Messenger Project was completed in late March 2021. After delays experienced by all laboratories in Perth due to economic effects of COVID19,
==> picture [198 x 280] intentionally omitted <==
results were announced on 26 May 2021 [4] . Results included grades of up to 0.7gpt gold and mineralisation
within thicker zones of alteration [5] . Most drillholes intersected thick quartz veining, magnetite and alteration of the intermediate volcanics and intrusive host units. Several drillholes also intercepted blebs of sulphide and oxide after sulphide mineralisation associated with the quartz reef mineralisation.

Warriedar West
The Warriedar West Project is an exploration project targeting Intrusive Related Gold (IRG) and orogenic gold mineralisation. Drilling at the project focussed on several target areas of shallow, outcropping zones of highly altered silica rich intrusive and previously mapped large outcropping gold bearing quartz veins.
Drilling in Q4 2020 confirmed the widespread presence of shallow gold within the silica rich lithocap accompanied by zones of quartz vein swarms with grades of up to 5g/t intersected [6] . The discovery of gold at Warriedar
West is within kilometres of underutilised gold processing facilities with established haulage routes in place. In addition major new extensions to the Yalgoo greenstone belt have been identified under shallow cover throughout the Wee Lode area.
A review of the work completed to date was undertaken along with aerial photography of key outcrops to assist with future drill planning.

Figure 4: Overview of 2020 drilling at the War West Project
Meleya
The Meleya project is part of the Warriedar Fold Belt with outcropping supracrustal mafic and felsic ‘greenstone’ units wrapped around a number of felsic to intermediate intrusions. These conditions are considered highly favourable for the formation of Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) and IRG deposits and Lode Hosted /Orogenic vein style gold. Early in 2020, Tempest showed the prospectivity of this project [7] and has extended its holding with additional tenure applications.
Work completed this quarter includes progression of approvals and planning of additional fieldwork associated with multiple targets generated last quarter with a view for drilling in the December Quarter of 2021.

Euro
==> picture [133 x 188] intentionally omitted <==
The Euro Project comprises 4 100% TEM owned tenements ( more than 176km[2] ) within the prospective Southern Yalgoo Greenstone Belt located between the neighbouring Rothsay, Mt Mulgine and the Karara Mines. The project has thick gold intercepts in legacy drilling, however due to depressed metal prices at the time were never thoroughly assessed by previous owners. As part of the Company’s data focussed methodology, large regional magnetic datasets were remodelled in 2020 [8] and has provided unprecedented resolution for exploration at the Yalgoo Projects. The significant investment in combining this with other historic geological, geochemical and other datasets in a holistic manner has provided an opportunity which may have not been readily identified by previous operators.
Work this quarter has highlighted this value with multiple high priority exploration targets prospective for gold, base metals and iron ore identified. The Kiev target in particular exhibits a geophysical signature similar to that of the nearby Silverlake (ASX:SLK) Rothsay Mine.
Page 5 | 13
ASX : TEM 2021-07-30 | Quarterly Report June 2021
Work this quarter included:
-
Assimilation of legacy datasets into the company database and reviewing these within the context of new geological data. This resulted in a number of new targets being generated [9] including:
-
The Calais target where historical drilling by others intersected thick zones of gold mineralisation
-
The Kiev target with a geophysical signature similar to the nearby 1M Oz Rothsay Gold Mine
-
Reconnaissance fieldwork in June identified significant Iron ore prospectivity in outcrops in the north of the project. [10]

Mount Magnet Region
Mt Magnet is a prolific mining destination with at least 6M Oz of gold produced to date and multiple large scale, long life mines currently in operation. It has been operated by major resources companies such as Western Mining Corporation and Harmony Gold Ltd as well as more contemporary successful mid-tier companies such as Ramelius Resources Ltd.

Range
Located in the heart of the Mount Magnet mineral field and 5km along strike of the prolific +6Moz Mount Magnet Operations, the Range Project consists of 17 tenements for 20km[2] .
Work completed during the quarter included a review of potential future drill targets.
Yilgarn Lithium Project (YLP)
The YLP consists of 3 tenements (1 granted 2 pending) for a total of 105.4km2.
Activities conducted during the quarter include regulatory compliance, technical review and data analysis.
