ASX RELEASE-10 December 2019

Lefroy Expands Tenement Holding and

Secures Burns Au-Cu Prospect

  • The area of the Lefroy Gold Project near Kalgoorlie has been expanded to 621km2 with the addition of a new tenement application that covers the Burns gold-copper prospect and also extensions to the sequence that host the Lucky Strike gold prospect
  • The tenement application was the first drawn in a highly contested ballot on 29 November 2019 in the Kalgoorlie Wardens Court
  • The Application covers 21km2 to secure a prime land position that now outlines a contiguous Company landholding covering 40km's of the Mt Monger fault, stretching from Lake Randall to Hang Glider hill
  • The Burns prospect was discovered in 2011 with subsequent RC and diamond drilling intersected broad zones of gold and copper mineralisation in magnetite biotite altered basalt and intrusive rocks that includes:
  1. 50m @ 0.9g/t Au & 0.5% Cu from 24m in OBURC16
    1. 55m @ 0.5g/t Au & 0.2% Cu from 229.85m in OBUDD001
  • Securing the right to the Burns prospect is an important addition to the growing portfolio of targets in the Lefroy Gold Project and work will commence shortly to compile and interrogate previous exploration data

Lefroy Exploration Limited (ASX: LEX) ("Lefroy" or "the Company") is pleased to advise that it has secured an application for a tenement to cover a prime land position, known as Burns, within the Eastern Lefroy tenement package, that is part of the wholly owned greater Lefroy Gold Project (LGP) located 50km south east of Kalgoorlie.

The application for exploration licence E15/1715 was determined by a highly competitive ballot involving competing applications conducted by the Mining Warden in Kalgoorlie on 29 November 2019. E15/1715 held by Monger Exploration Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was first drawn. The application will now progress through the statutory process to grant title which is expected to take at least 6 months.

The application covers an area of approximately 21km2 to seal a former gap in LGP tenement package. The tenements containing the Lucky Strike, Neon and Havelock prospects adjoin E15/1715 to the west and now link with the single tenement at Lake Randall, giving the Company a commanding prospective land position in this area.

ASX Announcement

10 December 2019

The Non-JV Eastern Lefroy tenement package now covers 249km2. It now spans 40 strike kilometres from the Hang Glider Hill prospect in the north west as one contiguous wholly owned land package to Lake Randall in the south east. The Lefroy Gold Project in its entirety now covers 621km2.

The application covers the Burns gold-copper prospect that was discovered by Octagonal Resources Limited ("Octagonal") in 2011. The area was initially identified as a priority exploration target area for gold mineralisation by Western Mining Corporation in the 1990's and later by Newmont in the mid 2000's.

In May 2011 Octagonal discovered significant gold and copper anomalism in the regolith (weathered rock) from aircore (AC) drilling. This defined a one square kilometre area of gold anomalism and a two-kilometre-long copper anomaly. This initiated multiple programs of reverse circulation (RC), diamond drilling and geophysical surveys during the period 2012-2016. The drilling intersected broad zones of gold (Au) and copper (Cu) associated with magnetite-biotite alteration and hosted in high-magnesian basalt and intermediate intrusive rocks.

Significant results from that program include:

  1. 50m @ 0.9g/t Au & 0.5% Cu from 24m in OBURC16
  1. 55m @ 0.5g/t Au & 0.2% Cu from 229.85m in OBUDD001

Next Steps

The application covers a prime area of land considered prospective gold and gold-copper mineralisation, being immediately south east and along strike of the gold prospects generated at Lucky Strike, Havelock and Neon. Compilation of the previous exploration by Octagonal, WMC and Newmont and integrating this into the Company's extensive drilling and geophysical database has commenced.

The data will be interrogated and the Au-Cu mineralisation at Burns placed in context with the other gold prospects identified nearby to improve the geological model and deliver additional targets for early stage exploration. Upon compilation, an immediate focus will be further activity at the existing Burns anomaly.

This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board
