New Age Exploration : Pilbara Phase 2 Drilling 1500m Completed

2 | P a g e

The Company engaged Strike Drilling to undertake the program and was committed to completing as much of onlythe planned drilling as possible prior to the closure of the 2021 field season

Helicopter and ground supported regional and prospect scale soil geochemical surveys are in progress over priority areas at all Projects to further refine additional targets ahead of follow-up drill testing.

Initial focus will be on the Brahman and Droughtmaster Gold Projects (E47/3958 and E47/5064/5065 respectively) which are located north of, and within ~50km of De Grey Mining's (ASX:DEG) Mallina Gold Project and the recent Hemi gold discovery. 20 Reverse Circulation drillholes for a total of 1500m was completed prior to closure of the

use2021 field season. Figures 1 and 2. personalFor

Recent Activities

onlyThe application of industry leading, proprietary data filtering technology to multiple geophysical datasets has successfully enhanced critical features relevant to the mineral systems and deposit models being targeted. Understanding these key elements is a critical next step in guiding effective exploration across the Company's' extensive ground holding in the region (2,311 km2 ).

The synthesis has been completed by specialist geophysical consulting group Fathom Geophysics under the guidance of Dr Amanda Buckingham (Principal Geophysicist). Fathom are internationally recognised for their useexpertise in successfully targeting mineralisation in areas where the bedrock geology of interest is hidden beneath

younger transported cover.

The geophysical data synthesis completed by Fathom Geophysics has incorporated a range of open file public domain regional scale data sets together with prospect scale surveys completed by NAE during April 2021 including:

• Regional and detailed aeromagnetic data
• Regional airborne electromagnetic data
• Regional airborne and ground based gravity data
• Satellite imagery

personalNAE has identified 104 new Hemi-style IRGS targets, 66 new structural targets and has refined previously reported targets (refer NAE ASX Quarterly Report September 2021). Numerous high priority targets display clear similarities

with the Hemi Gold Deposit and with those associated with the Scholl, Mallina and Tabba Tabba Shear Zones. None of these new targets have been previously drill tested. Refer Figure 3.

Importantly, refinement of previously identified targets now indicates that much of the initial campaign of aircore lithogeochemical drilling by NAE failed to reach target depths due to limited capacity of the rig which was available at the time and as a consequence those targets also remain untested. Low order gold and base metal geochemical anomalism reported from this phase of drilling is however encouraging in that it may be associated with a deeper, untested, source. (Refer NAE ASX Quarterly Report September 2021). A selection of these targets will be tested at depth as a part of the Phase 2 program.
