• Two RC holes drilled at Hawk have extended the known gold mineralisation down dip and down plunge to the north. Significant intercepts included:
  • 12m @ 2.30g/t Au from 140m including 6m @ 4.26g/t Au from 140m
  • 5m @ 3.46g/t Au from 159m
• Shallow extensional RC drilling at Swan returned the following significant intercepts:
  • 16m @ 1.84g/t Au from 45m including 7m @ 3.03g/t Au from 46m
  • 6m @ 1.23g/t Au from 28m
• Follow up RC and diamond drilling is being planned at all 3 prospects
• Diamond and RC drilling is continuing across the Gum Creek Project area

Managing Director Scott Williamson said:

“Impressive high-grade RC drilling results from Kingfisher, Hawk and Swan highlight the potential for resource expansion close to the proposed 2.4Mtpa processing plant. Follow up drilling is being planned prior to updating the respective resource estimations. Importantly, these resource additions sit outside those included in the recently released Definitive Feasibility Study and will potentially enhance project economics.
