Westar Resources Limited (ASX:WSR) ( Westar or the Company ) is pleased to announce results from the maiden Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program and Deep Ground Penetrating RADAR program (DGPR) at the 100% owned Gidgee South Project and the recently acquired Birrigrin Mining Centre (BMC) Project..

Westar Managing Director Karl Jupp commented:

” We are excited to report the maiden drill program at Gidgee South has confirmed gold mineralisation. The bulk of the program was designed and prepared prior to the acquisition of the BMC and Carbine Bore transactions, so there is opportunity to further test these prospects. We will progress planning the next steps at Gidgee South, which includes integration of the DGPR results, follow-up drill planning at the BMC and mapping at the Carbine Bore prospect.”

EXPLORATION UPDATE

The maiden drilling program was designed to test multiple targets within a broad mineralisation corridor, including geological units and features along strike and potentially down plunge of historical workings.

Significant intersections include (refer to Table 1 and Figure 1):

  • 3m @ 3.29g/t Au from 35m in GSRC0005, including 1m @ 6.27g/t Au from 35-36m

  • 3m @ 3.41g/t Au from 55m in GSRC0047, including 1m @ 7.14g/t Au from 55-56m

  • 1m @ 7.45g/t Au from 42m in GSRC0051

Rock chip samples, from quartz veining in mullock adjacent to shallow historical ‘Tassie’ gold workings assayed 15.3g/t Au and 14.3g/t Au (Table 2). Extrapolation of the Tassie workings to mineralised quartz vein intersections in GSRC005 and GSRC0047 indicate a subvertical to steep south westerly dip. Several unmineralized veins were also encountered in these holes and the adjacent drillhole GSRC0048, which has failed to reach projected depth of the mineralised vein (Figure 2).

Encouragingly, quartz and goethite rock chips from spoil next to a collapsed, hand-dug prospector pit, lying approximately 100m south, ‘Tassie South’, and appearing along strike from GSRC0005 at the Tassie workings returned an assay of 4.38g/t Au . This zone remains untested.

==> picture [56 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

Drillholes GSRC0050 and GSRC0051 intersected mineralisation below and adjacent to the BMC’s historical “Hawthorne” workings. Significant intercepts include (refer to Table 1 and Figure 1);

  • 1m at 7.45 g/t Au from 42m to 43m in GSRC0051, prior to entering and unmapped Stope.

  • 2m @ 0.15g/t Au from 92m in GSRC0050

These values are consistent with rock chip sample GSK0039, consisting of predominantly quartz with weathered mafic from a mullock heap adjacent to the Hawthorne mine workings, assaying 4.38 g/t Au (Table 2).

Quartz veining in mafic lithology is the consistent host for all significant drill intercepts and surface rock chip samples. The drilling has demonstrated gold mineralisation remains beneath, along strike and potentially between historical workings. There is also the possibility of discovering additional mineralised veins at the BMC that do not extend to surface and have not been previously identified or worked and this is where the DGPR survey may prove invaluable.

A complete list of drill holes with significant intercepts and surface rock chip samples are presented in Appendix 1.

Rock chip samples

Forty-two (42) surface samples were taken from mullock dumps adjacent to historical workings, highly weathered and altered mafic exposures and from the hard, cemented valley regolith at Carbine Bore (P57/1363 and P57/1368. Assays have been returned from thirty-eight samples to date. See Figure 4 and the Appendix 2 for rock chip sample locations and assays.

Carbine Bore surface samples GSK018 and GSK029 from the cemented regolith returned anomalous gold assays of 3.61 g/t Au and 0. 14 g/t Au respectively. A quartz-breccia outcrop also returned 0.16g/t Au (Sample ID GSK0040). The Carbine Bore area is a distinct valley that topographically reflects the interpreted geology. The structural complexity, anomalous gold in surface samples and a history of prospector gold finds in the valley, are collectively encouraging of a potential gold source at the Carbine Bore prospect.

Deep Ground Penetrating Radar (DGPR) survey

Historical mining at the Birrigrin Mining Centre was focused on multiple high grade quartz reefs. These reefs were frequently over short strike lengths, a few metres in width and to a maximum of 80m vertical depth. Westar commissioned Ultramag Geophysics to complete a DGPR survey over the Birrigrin line of workings and surrounds. DGPR is a technology that has been used by explorers to map shears, dykes, faults and alteration zones. Ultramag have provided their interpreted results map (Figure 4) of potential steep contacts, alteration zones, faults and dykes, which Westar will integrate with the drilling data for geological interpretation and the planning of future drill holes.

NEXT STEPS

Westar intends to progress exploration activities at the Gidgee South Project through:

  • Integrating the DGPR data with other data sets and interpreting for follow-up drill targets.

  • Verifying whether there is a geochemical fingerprint from the gold-hosting veins. Applying this geochemical knowledge gained to surface exploration at BMC to find geochemical anomalies that potentially vector towards additional, hidden, gold-hosting veins.

  • Planning additional drilling around historical workings, DGPR anomalies and any surface geochemical anomalies.

  • Field mapping Carbine Bore prospects to refine drill targets.

  • Field mapping and assessing the gold potential of the eastern side of the greenstone-granite contact on E57/1055.

Gidgee South RC drilling and sampling JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 report

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

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

Criteria Commentary
Sampling
techniques
For each one metre drilled, the RC rig-mounted cone splitter collected the bulk of sample into
biodegradable plastic bags and a smaller, representative split sample, from the splitter’s second
port, into a numbered calico bag.
The rig-split numbered calico bags from individual one metre samples of geologically
prospective zones, as determined by the site geologist, were submitted for fire assay analysis
only.
Composite 4m spear samples were collected from every hole and submitted for gold only
analysis. Each composite sample was made up of equal volumes of material from each of the
plastic sample bags that comprised the composite interval. The same 40mm diameter spear was
used for the collection of all composites. QAQC samples were collected and submitted as part of
the composite assay stream at the rate of approximately 1:20.
For each hole, the splitter’s third port collected a duplicate, representative split sample into a
numbered calico bag for the last metre drilled only. A spear sample was collected in lieu of this
bottom of hole splitter sample when timely placement of the calico bag on the splitter was
missed. Bottom of hole samples were assayed for gold and a suite of thirty-five elements.
No portable analytical tools were used. No down hole tools were employed except for an Ezy
gyro down hole survey tool.
Drilling
techniques
A nominal 141mm diameter face sampling reverse circulation percussion hammer bit was used.
Drill sample
recovery
The sample quality, in terms of degree of wetness and an estimate of the recovery, was
recorded routinely by the field geologist.
The cyclone was regularly cleaned to ensure sample quality.
A relationship between recovery and grade has not been established for the first pass RC
drilling.
Logging All drill metre samples had a representative sub-sample sieved, washed, logged and stored by a
suitably qualified and experienced geologist.
Logging was qualitative with semi-quantitative estimates made of relevant features such as
percentage of quartz veins or sulphides.
100% of the samples weregeologicallylogged.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
The composite samples were collected using a 40mm diameter PVC pipe spear, from the RC bulk
sample collected in plastic bags. The composite samples were sent to the laboratory in
individually numbered calico sample bags with accurate digital records kept by the field
geologist of the sample details.
The samples were generally dry. Wet samples were rare.
From each plastic bag of one metre of sample, equal volumes were extracted using the spear
method to create the composite samples.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests
The samples were assayed at an ALS laboratory in Perth, which is an accredited laboratory for
the type of analysis undertaken.
ALS method Au-AA26, a 50g fire assay, was used for samples requiring gold only analysis.

10

==> picture [56 x 38] intentionally omitted <==

ALS method Au-TL44, an aqua regia digestion followed by ICP-MS instrument analysis for Au,
was used for bottom-of-hole samples requiring 35 element analysis by an ICP-AES instrument.
The assay techniques are industry standard.
No geophysical tools were used in the assessment or analysing of the samples.
A set of duplicates, commercial standards and commercial blanks were inserted into the
composite assay stream, nominally at every 20thsample. A high level first pass analysis of the
QAQC data suggests no bias in the data however, detailed analysis of the data has not been
undertaken.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The assay data has been assessed by qualified geologists working directly for Westar.
No twinned holes were drilled, sampled, logged and compared because this was a first pass RC
programme.
The geological, sample and metadata was logged using ‘Ocris’ software by the field geologists
checked for data entry errors and uploading to a database.
Location of data
points
Drill holes were located using a GPS built into the logging computer. Down hole surveying was
completed upon completion of each hole using an Ezy gyro down hole surveying tool operated
by the drilling contractor.
The grid used was MGA94 Zone50.
The area of drilling is predominantly low lying and relatively flat. Hence, topographic control is
not an issue when interpretingthe drill results.
Data spacing
and distribution
The RC holes were drilled at a nominal spacing of 80m on variably spaced lines. Hole spacing was
largely influenced by optimising to test specific parts of the stratigraphy and interpreted
lithology and structure combinations considered most prospective to host gold.
The drill hole spacing is sufficient to adequately test the prospective geology.
4m composite samples were collected as described in the Sampling and Sub-sampling
techniques sections.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
The drill lines and hole orientation have been designed to provide a good first pass test of the
interpreted geology, including geological structures, being perpendicular to the interpreted
strikes.
There appears to be no bias introduced into the reported assay grades because of the drill
orientation or sample spacing.
Sample security The samples were collected by Westar staff and contractors on site, transported to Mount
Magnet town and loaded into Bulka bags for road transport by a haulage company to an ALS
laboratoryin Perth,Western Australia.
Audits or
reviews
Technical assessment of the assay and geological results is ongoing however, assessment of the
laboratory QAQC samples shows no discrepancies.

M57/352 lies entirely within Vacant Crown Land. The north of E57/1055 is within Vacant Crown
Land and the south is within land managed by the Western Australia Government Department
of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA). Both tenements are within the boundary
of Sandstone Shire Council.
Exploration
done by other
parties
There is significant historical mining circa early 1900’s on M57/352 (Birrigrin Mining Centre). This
mining extends a few hundred metres into E57/1055. All tenements within the tenement
package have experienced metal detecting with unknown quantities of gold having been won
from the prospecting activities.
Previous exploration has been undertaken by companies including Rafaella Resources Ltd,
Panoramic Gold, Legend Mining, Dalrymple Resources, Pegasus Gold, Arimco Mining,
Pancontinental Mining and others.
Methods employed by previous explorers were soil geochemical sampling and hand-dug pits.
Two RAB drill lines passed through the south east corner of E57/1055. RC holes were drilled into
historical mine shafts.
The area was flown by Westar in late 2020 with airborne magnetic and radiometric surveying.
All these available datasets were compiled and used by Westar during target generation and drill
holeplanning.
Geology Shear hosted gold, gold in quartz veins and gold in granite greenstone contacts are the style of
mineralization being explored for by this drill programme i.e., typical Archaean gold deposits.
The prospective ground is within the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt containing mafic units that are
dipping steeply towards approximately the north east. Folding and foliation is recorded on
GSWA geological maps as striking approximately north west. The mafic units are surrounded by
granites to the west,east and south and are cross-cut by quartz-feldspar dykes.

Verification of
sampling and
assaying
GPS positions were verified against the positions of other landmarks.
Daily digital plans were made of the data locations to identify any gaps in the survey requiring resurvey
in-fill.
Image quality was used to assess GPR noise.
Location of
data points
The shot positions were captured using the WGS84 datum and MGA Zone 50 projection.
Garmin Montana hand-held GPS used has typical accuracy of 3m in x and y directions and 6m in the z
direction.
Data spacing
and
distribution
40m apart traverse lines.
Two survey areas.
Area 1 had dimensions of approximately 1.5km by 1.2 km, located primarily over M57/352. Thirty seven
traverse lines were completed, orientated at approximately 060°-240°.
Area 2 had dimensions of approximately 0.7km by 0.12km, located in E57/1055. Four traverse lines were
completed, orientated approximately 045°-225°.
Orientation of
data in
relation to
geological
structure
In general, the survey orientation was perpendicular to the interpreted main geological contacts and
structures.
Sample
security
Data was backed up daily to either a PC or USB memory sticks or emailed to the Ultramag office.
Audits or
reviews
Ultramag performed their own internal reviews. No external reviews were done.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria Commentary
Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status
The DGPR survey was conducted on the majority of M57/352 and a minor part of E57/1055, which are
100% owned by Imperator Resources, which is a 100% owned subsidiary of Westar Resources. The
tenements are located approximately 60km north of Sandstone via the Sandstone-Wiluna Rd. There are
no encumbrances on either of the tenements.
All of M57/352 and the part of the survey on E57/1055 are within Vacant Crown Land. Both tenements
are within the boundary of Sandstone Shire Council.
Exploration
done by other
parties
There is significant historical mining circa early 1900’s on M57/352 (Birrigrin Mining Centre). This mining
extends a few hundred metres into E57/1055. All tenements within the tenement package have
experienced metal detecting with unknown quantities of gold having been won from the prospecting
activities.

Previous exploration has been undertaken by companies including Rafaella Resources Ltd, Panoramic
Gold, Legend Mining, Dalrymple Resources, Pegasus Gold, Arimco Mining, Pancontinental Mining and
others.
Methods employed by previous explorers were soil geochemical sampling and hand-dug pits. Two RAB
drill lines passed through the south east corner of E57/1055. RC holes were drilled into historical mine
shafts.
The area was flown by Westar in late 2020 with airborne magnetic and radiometric surveying.
Geology Shear hosted gold, gold in quartz veins and gold in granite greenstone contacts are the style of
mineralization being explored for by this drill programme i.e., typical Archaean gold deposits.
The prospective ground is within the Gum Creek Greenstone Belt containing mafic units that are
dipping steeply towards approximately the north east. Folding and foliation is recorded on GSWA
geological maps as striking approximately north west. The mafic units are surrounded by granites to the
west, east and south and are cross-cut by quartz-feldspar dykes.

Balanced
reporting
Representative result sections have been provided in the appendix.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
RC drilling and rock chip sampling have occurred. A link between the DGPR raw data, drilling sample
logging and rock chips was not apparent in the field. Integration and interpretation of the final DGPR
results with all data is planned.
Further work Follow-up exploration programmes will be designed after integration and analysis of all data sets.
