Airfield Project
Three (3) holes were completed for a total 363.1m (including 112.1m of mud rotary pre-collars and 251m of NQ2 core) at the Crayfish Prospect. Collar Locations are provided in Figure 2.
The reverse circulation (RC) drill program on E77/2621 discovered previously unmapped amphibolite (greenstone-refer ASX release 2nd July 2021) within the Ghooli Dome, previously mapped by GSWA as granite. This program warranted a follow up diamond drilling program to obtain oriented structural and lithology data for the next stage of drilling and expand the Company's geological knowledge of the area given the largest producing gold mines within the prolific Southern Cross region are hosted by regional greenstone belts.

Diamond drilling also aimed to test the potential extension and orientation of the low-level gold anomalism returned in 21CYRC004 and 21CYRC005 (see Figure 3) with 21CYRD003 drilled as a diamond tail to original RC hole 21CRYC003, extending the hole by 80.5m (to a total downhole depth of 145.8m). Orientation readings taken from 21CYRD003 were used to design a 2nd drill hole targeted to intercept the structures, veins, and contacts at a more optimal angle. This follow up hole, 21CYDD001, was drilled from surface on the same drill pad to a total downhole depth of 141.4m (including the 54.4m mud rotary pre- collar).

of 21CRYC003 and one of the potential orientations for the low-level gold anomalism.

Given their close location, 21CYRD003 and 21CYDD001 intercepted similar lithologies-pegmatitic granite and amphibolite gneiss, variably silica-altered amphibolite, variably quartz veined and foliated amphibolite, and quartz-veined,garnet-richamphibolite-as shown in Figure 4. In both holes, trace sulphides (dominantly pyrite and chalcopyrite) were observed within some sections of the silica-altered amphibolite and the garnet-rich amphibolite.

B: strongly silica- altered, weakly foliated amphibolite. C: Garnet-rich amphibolite with quartz veining, and D: weak-moderately foliated amphibolite with quartz veining.
21CYDD002 was collared approximately 400m south, targeting the strongly quartz veined amphibolite intercepted in RC holes drilled in the April Program (21CYRC015 - 21CYRC017), and was drilled to a total depth of 141.2m (including a mud rotary pre-collar of 57.7m). Representative photographs of the amphibolite, silica-altered amphibolite and quartz veining is provided in Figure 5.
Geological interpretation of the newly acquired data is ongoing and results will be reported as received and analysed.
