Outstanding Growth Potential Katanning PFS is the start of a larger multi-million ounce operation Current and planned exploration and drilling activities for growth Significant drilling program ongoing targeting further Resource expansion and growth within Central and Southern Zones. Further growth
Slide 11: Scale Opportunity
Scale Opportunity Whole-of-Belt Exploration Play Improved geological model has identified numerous high-grade 4 targets in untested exploration areas along 17km strike Targeting multiple areas for growth in 1 Resource, which is supported by a number Central Zone of outstanding exploration opportunit
Slide 12: Scale Opportunity
Scale Opportunity Jinkas North and South high-grade 1. Jinkas North 850 metre gap in drilling along strike from high-grade Jinkas lode with coincident geophysical and geochemical anomalies, and 1 includes underground potential with further drilling planned Q4 2022 High-grade gold strongly correlated
Slide 13: Scale Opportunity
Scale Opportunity Underground Potential • Untested limited drilling > 300m depth o Open along strike and at depth o Potential to add high grade Resource ounces • Down-plunge extensions of high-grade Jinkas, White Dam and Jinkas South lodes have identified further potential beneath the current optimi
Slide 14: Scale Opportunity
Scale Opportunity Southern Zone • Southern Zone follows along strike from the Central Zone mineralisation with extensive gold mineralisation identified in aircore drilling over 8km strike length, with encouraging results from recent drilling including: • 21m @ 2.11 g/t Au from 61.08m including 4.81m
