ASX Announcement

1 March 2022

onlyDRILLING FIRST IP ANOMALY HAS COMMENCED AT HORN ISLAND

useAdvanced gold and copper explorer, Alice Queen Limited (ASX:AQX) ("Alice Queen" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that is has commenced drilling the first target generated by its recently completed Dipole Dipole Induced Polarisation (DDIP) survey at the Company's Horn Island Gold Project, located in the Torres Strait, Queensland.

Highlights

  • Drilling commenced yesterday testing the first target (Jedha 1)
  • Jedha 1 is part of a large IP anomaly beneath the Southern Silicified Ridge (SSR) which extends for more than 3.5km (see Figures 1 and 2)
  • This target is vertically below surface alteration, stockwork veining and mineralisation
  • Site preparations were completed over the past fortnight with drilling commencing yesterday Monday 28 February 2022

Queen's Managing Director, Andrew Buxton said,

We remain focused on new discoveries at Horn Island. We are increasingly confident

that Horn Island is host to a large Intrusion Related Gold System and has the potential

to host multiple gold deposits. All the work and studies we have completed previously,

along with the most recent IP survey, gives us great encouragement that this first hole

potential at Horn Island."

Exploration Drilling - Jedha 1 Anomaly

The current geological model and target generation exercise at Horn Island resulting in this first drill hole (22NGD106), is the product of multiple work programs and studies over many years. These have been carried out separately to our resource programs that were focused at the historic pit area, where

onlythe Company has a mineral resource of *~0.52Moz Au Indicated and Inferred.

These previous work programs have established a ~35km2 hydrothermal footprint and geological model at Horn Island that suggests a large Intrusion Related Gold System (IRGS), that is increasingly likely to host multiple gold systems. The work programs that have been completed previously include:

use

Geological mapping

Rock chip sampling

Channel sampling

Airborne magnetics

Limited shallow drill program of 9 holes for 1,500m at the SSR

o Best previous result of 11m @ 2.89 g/t Au from 70m in hole 18NGD052

Metal Zonation Studies

DDIP Survey

The key objectives of this first hole (see Figures 1 and 2) are to intersect features of the hydrothermal system that contribute to gold mineralisation that will inform the geological model and subsequent drill targets and holes including:

  • Alteration zoning
  • Sulphide veining
  • IRG pathfinder enrichment
  • Gold intercepts
