ASX Announcement
08 March 2019
Extensions confirmed at Wingina and Amanda
➢ Extensions beyond existing resource model defined at both Wingina and Amanda
➢ Potential to expand resources with further drilling
➢ Host +60km long Tabba Tabba Thrust considered highly prospective for future discoveries
De Grey Mining Limited (ASX: DEG, "De Grey", "Company") is pleased to announce new drilling results at the
Wingina and Amanda gold deposits that form part of the 1.4Moz Pilbara Gold Project, located near Port Hedland in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. (ASX release "2018 Total Gold Mineral Resource increases to 1.4Moz", 3 October 2018)
The gold mineralisation, at Wingina and Amanda, is hosted by the north east trending and large regional scale Tabba Tabba Thrust. Both the Wingina and Amanda deposits remain open along strike and at depth plus the +60km long thrust is considered highly prospective for further discoveries.
Wingina
At Wingina, the shallow near surface mineralisation has previously been well drilled on a nominal 20m x 20m basis over more than 1km of strike length and generally down to ~200m depth. The current resource (5.49Mt @ 1.6g/t for 287,700oz) has greater than 75% of the resource in the measured and indicated categories and is expected to form one of the larger open pits in the 2019 2.0Mtpa PFS. Two higher grade plunging shoots are defined in this previous resource drilling (Figure 1). Recent drilling has successfully targeted extension to the mineralisation at depth and to the north east along strike.
➢ Down dip extension confirmed to ~300m below surface and 150m north east of resource.
➢ Significant new results include:
6.35m @ 3.37g/t Au in WDH015 including 0.75m @ 12.2g/t Au
12.66m @ 1.75g/t Au in WDH016 including 0.81m @ 10.95g/t Au
➢ High-grade intercepts within the broader gold lode include:
0.75m @ 12.2g/t Au
0.81m @ 10.95g/t Au
4.0m @ 5.57g/t Au
2.0m @ 2.7g/t Au
4.0m @ 2.6g/t Au

➢ Further step out drilling is being planned to test down dip extensions below the resource.
Limited diamond drilling completed back in 2016, targeted the northern most plunging shoot and extended mineralisation at depth. The recent drill program comprising 933m RC and 718m of diamond core further extends this eastern zone of mineralisation. Six additional precollars have been drilled in readiness to test further down dip extensions below the resource along strike.
The recent drilling results continue to define extensive zones of wide alteration (up to 50m) associated with the thrust defining an excellent host structure. The dominant gold occurs in a discrete lode (at > 0.5g/t cutoff) within the larger alteration zone and wider dispersed lower grade anomalous gold mineralisation over large portions of alteration zone. The scale of the alteration zone and structural controls provides scope to discover further high grade plunging shoots and extension at depth and along strike beneath the thin sand cover.
Results are provided in Table 1 and shown in Figure 1.

6m @ 1.65g/t Au from 56m in AMRC046

A program of 25 RC holes for an advance of 1598m has been completed with a specialised RC drill rig capable of drilling shallow angle RC holes in sloping terrain. This drilling has successfully extended mineralisation beyond the resource model and selected holes were drilled to infill portions of the resources model where the previous rig could not gain access. Overall, the results indicate mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth and further resource increases can be expected with further drilling. Follow up drilling programs at Amanda are currently being assessed. Full results are provided in Table 2 and a summary of significant results >5 gram metres are presented in Figure 2.
