Project Summary

Located at the heart of the PVW’s Kalgoorlie Project, King of The West is a prospective area for gold mineralisation. The return of positive assays from recent auger sampling within E2/614 confirms the prospectivity of the project.

The recent auger drilling and geochemical sampling on E27/614 are the first detailed systematic exploration activities undertaken over the northern third of the tenement. Results returned to date include large Au anomalies >40ppb Au with, numerous results above 80ppb, peaking at 176ppb Au. The southernmost line of the 400m x 100m auger grid returned a 1.2km continuous section of >50ppb Au.

Auger coverage of this open anomaly has been extended to the south, with return of results awaited prior to air core drilling.

Results were also positive from further auger drilling on E27/571 extending the anomalous strike. The auger drilling has successfully defined the Pappy Prospect, a continuous 2.2km northwest zone of +40ppb Au. Follow up air-core drilling will be undertaken as soon as possible.

Project Expansion

The additional tenements acquired are strategically located, either abutting or adjacent to PVW’s existing tenure.

To consolidate tenements into PVW subsidiary PVW Kalgoorlie Pty Ltd, the following transactions have been finalised:

  • (1) PVW and YRL have swapped interests in respective tenements, with PVW acquiring seven (7) tenements from YRL and selling one tenement to YRL, as set out in Table 1. The tenement swap includes a 2% net smelter return royalty applicable to tenure acquired by each party only.

  • (2) PVW has acquired 100% of the issued capital of Stark, with the following consideration paid/issued to the Stark vendors:

  • a) cash payment of $15,000;

  • b) 1,500,001 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of PVW; and

  • c) 1,700,000 performance rights comprised of 850,000 tranche A performance rights and 850,000 tranche B performance rights, issued on the terms set out in Appendix 1.

Table 1 below summarises the tenements and ownership following the completion of the transactions.

Executive Director Mr George Bauk commented “This transaction has consolidated our land holding at our Kalgoorlie project. We have an outstanding 1.2km soil anomaly that warrants a drill program.”

“This project is located within 30km of Kalgoorlie, near existing mining and processing plants which provides numerous commercialisation options.”

Leonora Region – 100% 195km[2]

The company owns 100% Jungle Well and the Brilliant Well projects both with immediate follow up targets. Jungle Well has a 26,800oz Au inferred resource JORC12 compliant, the open pit was mined previously in 1996 during a low gold price. Drilling plans to explore the extension of the existing resource and along strike following up an intersection of 13.2m @ 1.74 g/t which was drilled exploring for Nickel.

The Brilliant Well Project is south of the Bundarra Gold Project (owned by Northern Star) with gold intersections from various drilling programs in 2011 and by PVW in 2019 which included 4m @ 4.09 g/t and 10m @ 3.36 g/t in historical 2011 drilling.

All Leonora Project exploration drilling results refer to ASX:PVW, Thred Prospectus Appendix A - Independent Geologists Report, Appendix 1.

Tanami Project – 100% ~1,400km[2]

The Tanami Region hosts the large Callie gold deposit currently being mined by Newmont. Limited exploration has been undertaken in the Tanami and many view this area as highly prospective and very underexplored. Over the past 3 years the company has put together a 1,400km[2] land package with solid geological information and historical drill results that require immediate follow up. Previous exploration in the early 2010’s resulted in 12m @ 2.94 g/t from surface and 5m @ 6.99 g/t also from surface. All historical Tanami Project exploration drilling results refer to ASX:PVW, Thred Prospectus Appendix A - Independent Geologists Report, Appendix 1.

Kalgoorlie Region – 100% 150km[2]

Right in and amongst the heartland of gold in Western Australia, PVW has a 150km[2] tenement package within close proximity to many operating gold processing plants. Near term drill targets: Regional Bedrock Targets including previous drill results including 6m @ 2.61 g/t and 4m @ 2.39 g/t and new conceptual targets. Significant drill results in granites and within greenstones. Paleochannel targets with possible links to bedrock mineralisation. All historical Kalgoorlie Project exploration drilling results refer to ASX:PVW, Thred Prospectus Appendix A - Independent Geologists Report, Appendix 1.

Ballinue Project – 100% 950km[2]

The most recent addition to the PVW portfolio, the Ballinue Project is located in the Mid West region of Western Australia, over the Narryer Terrane and the Murchison Domain, within the West Yilgarn Ni-Cu-PGE Province. The West Yilgarn Province is defined by a corridor along the western margin of the Yilgarn Craton, bounded on the west by the Darling Fault and extending east for some 100km. The corridor hosts significant new discoveries, the most significant being Chalice Mining – Julimar Project (ASX:CHN). PVW’s Ballinue Project is in the application phase and the company eagerly awaits grant of these tenements to commence systematic exploration, focusing on testing magnetic anomalies that could be the result of Layered Mafic-Ultramafic Intrusions.

Right place for the right times for the right commodity

Western Australia is one of the leading investment jurisdictions according to the recent Fraser Institute rankings. During the challenging times we live in during COVID-19 all our projects and people are in Western Australia with excellent access to the projects. Finally, Western Australia is a global leader in gold production and gold exploration.
