Australian Securities Exchange Limited Via Electronic Lodgement

$55 MILLION CAPITAL RAISING COMPLETED

57 139 522 900

Gascoyne Resources Limited ("Gascoyne" "the Company") (ASX:GCY) is pleased to announce that the $55 million capital raising for the equity portion of the Dalgaranga Gold Project development cost and an ongoing exploration programme has been completed.

As announced on 17th of February, the raising has been completed via a two tranche $50 million private placement and a

$5 million Share Purchase Plan (SPP) priced at $0.50 per share.

The SPP has now closed and a total of $3.4 million was raised from existing shareholders. The shortfall of $1.6 million (or

3.2 million shares) has been placed to existing supportive Australian and International institutional and professional investors using the Company's existing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

Hartleys Limited is Lead Manager and Sole Bookrunner to the Placement. Argonaut Securities Pty Limited acted as Co- Manager.

The SPP shares will be allocated in the next few days, with settlement of the shortfall shares on the 29th of March.

Commenting completion of the capital raising, Gascoyne's Managing Director Mr Mike Dunbar said;

"We would like to thank all of our existing shareholders who took part in the SPP and capital raising. The funds raised will now allow the Company to not only fund the equity portion of the Dalgaranga development, but also an aggressive exploration programme at both of the Company's underexplored +1 million ounce gold projects in Western Australia.

As we have announced in the past week, there has been significant progress towards the development of Dalgaranga, with the updated Resource at Gilbeys, confirmation of the Sly Fox discovery and signing of a conditional letter of intent with GR Engineering for the EPC contract.

With the fundraising now complete, we are now looking forward to the development of the Dalgaranga Gold Project and significant news flow from ongoing exploration at both of our +1 million ounce projects"

Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.

BACKGROUND ON GASCOYNE RESOURCES

Gascoyne Resources Limited was listed on the ASX in December 2009 and is focused on exploration and development of a number of gold projects in Western Australia.

The Company's 100% owned gold projects combined have over 2.3 million ounces of contained gold on granted Mining Leases:

DALGARANGA:

The Dalgaranga project is located approximately 65km by road NW of Mt Magnet in the Murchison gold mining region of Western Australia and covers the majority of the Dalgaranga greenstone belt. After discovery in the early 1990's, the project was developed and from 1996 to 2000 produced 229,000 oz's of gold with reported cash costs of less than $350/oz.

The project contains a JORC Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources of 29.6Mt @ 1.3g/t Au for 1,230,000 ounces of contained gold (Table 1). The Dalgaranga project has a Proved and Probable Ore Reserve of 552,000 ounces of gold (Table 2).

The FS study that has been completed has highlighted a robust development case for the project.

The FS investigated the development of two open pits feeding a 2.5Mtpa processing facility resulting in production of around 100,000ozpa for 6 years and concluded that the operation would be a low cost, high margin and long life operation with high operating margins.

Significant exploration potential also remains outside the known resources with numerous historical geochemical prospects only partly tested.

GLENBURGH:

The Glenburgh Project in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia, has a Measured, Indicated and Inferred resource of: 21.3 Mt @ 1.5g/t Au for 1.0 million oz gold from several prospects within a 20km long shear zone (see Table 3).

A preliminary feasibility study on the project has been completed (see announcement 5th of August 2013) that showed a viable project exists, with a production target of 4.9mt @ 2.0g/t for 316,000oz (70% Indicated and 30% Inferred resources) within 12 open pits and one underground operation. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with inferred mineral resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of indicated mineral resources or that the production target itself will be realised. The study showed attractive all in operating costs of under A$1,000/oz and indicated a strong return with an operating surplus of ~ A$160M over the 4+ year operation. The study included approximately 40,000m of resource drilling, metallurgical drilling and testwork, geotechnical, hydro geological and environmental assessments. Importantly the study has not included the drilling completed during 2013, which intersected significant shallow high grade zones at a number of the known deposits.

EGERTON:

The project includes the high grade Hibernian deposit which contains a resource of 116,400 tonnes @ 6.4 g/t gold for 24,000 ounces in the Measured, Indicated and Inferred JORC categories (Table 4). The deposit lies on a granted mining lease and previous drilling includes high grade intercepts, 2m @ 147.0 g/t gold, 5m @ 96.7 g/t gold and 5m @ 96.7 g/t gold associated with quartz veining in shallow south-west plunging shoots. The Hibernian deposit has only been drill tested to 70m below surface and there is strong potential to expand the current JORC Resource with drilling testing deeper extensions to known shoots and targeting new shoot positions.

Gascoyne is continuing to evaluate the Glenburgh gold deposits to delineate meaningful increases in the resource base and progress project permitting, while also continuing to explore the Dalgaranga project with the view to moving towards a low capital cost development as rapidly as possible. The Company also has 100% ownership of the high grade Egerton project; where the focus has been to assess the economic viability of trucking high grade ore to either Glenburgh or to another processing facility for treatment and exploration of the high grade mineralisation within the region.

Competent Persons Statement

The Dalgaranga Ore Reserve has been estimated by CSA Global Pty Ltd, an external consultancy, and are reported under the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (see GCY-ASX announcement 24th November 2016 titled: Feasibility confirms Dalgaranga as a low cost/high margin project). The company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or

data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcements and, in the case of estimates of Ore Reserves that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimate in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. The company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person's findings are presented have not materially modified from the original market announcements.

The Dalgaranga and Glenburgh Mineral Resources have been estimated by RungePincockMinarco Limited, an external consultancy, and are reported under the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (see GCY -ASX announcement 15th March 2017 titled "Dalgaranga Gold Resource Increased to over 1.2Moz" and 24th July 2014 titled "High Grade Domains

Identified Within Updated Glenburgh Gold Mineral Resource"). The company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcements and, in the case of estimates of Mineral Resources that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimate in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. The company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person's findings are presented have not materially modified from the original market announcements.

The Glenburgh 2004 JORC resource (released to the ASX on April 29th 2013) which formed the basis for the preliminary Feasibility Study was classified as Indicated and Inferred and as a result, is not sufficiently defined to allow conversion to an ore reserve; the financial analysis in the preliminary Feasibility Study is conceptual in nature and should not be used as a guide for investment. It is uncertain if additional exploration will allow conversion of the Inferred resource to a higher confidence resource (Indicated or Measured) and hence if a reserve could be determined for the project in the future. Production targets referred to in the preliminary Feasibility Study and in this report are conceptual in nature and include areas where there has been insufficient exploration to define an Indicated mineral resource. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with inferred mineral resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of indicated mineral resources or that the production target itself will be realised. This information was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004, the resource has now been updated to conform with the JORC 2012 guidelines. This new JORC 2012 resource, reported above, will form the basis for any future studies.

The information in this Report that relates to Mineral Resources for the Hibernian Deposit is based on information compiled by Mike Dunbar who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Dunbar is a full time employee of Gascoyne Resources Limited. Mr Dunbar is the Competent Person for this Mineral Resource estimate and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he has undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves'. Mr Dunbar consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.

The Egerton Resource estimate and Gaffney's Find prospect historical exploration results have been sourced from Exterra Resources annual reports and other publicly available reports which have undergone a number of peer reviews by qualified consultants, who conclude that the resources comply with the JORC code and are suitable for public reporting. This information was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004. It has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.
