  • Detailed geological work ongoing at Aphrodite, North Kanowna Star and the Bardoc Tectonic Zone.
  • Geotechnical core drilling scheduled to commence at Excelsior late this week

Bardoc Gold Limited (ASX: BDC, Bardoc or the Company) is pleased to advise that recent Reverse Circulation drilling at the Mayday North Deposit, part of the Company's 100%-owned3.02Moz Bardoc Gold Project located 40km north of Kalgoorlie in WA, has intersected further broad zones of gold mineralisation and returned promising results from early exploration drilling outside of the main deposit.

The latest assay results strengthen confidence in and confirm the geological interpretation of the Mayday North Deposit, highlighting the potential for a significant down-plunge extension of the current 79koz Resource. Further drilling is required to define possible northern extensions and the down-plunge mineralisation.

Exploration drilling has also successfully intersected a significant zone of anomalous gold on a new trend to the west of the historical Mayday North open pit, providing a strong target for future follow-up drilling.

MAYDAY NORTH RESOURCE EXTENSION

Drilling at the 100%-owned, 79koz Mayday North Deposit was undertaken to target a possible down-plunge extension of the main mineralised zone. It was successful and intersected:

  • 30m @ 1.42g/t Au from 161m including 14m @ 2.13g/t Au from161m in MNC200038

Significantly, this new intercept is 40m below the previously reported intercept of:

  • 13m @ 2.29g/t Au from 124m in MNC200002 (ASX announcement 25 February 2020)

This increase in the width of the deposit is real and is seen in other areas of the main ore body. The gold mineralisation is best developed on a felsic/basalt contact and follows a coarse brecciated zone while the broader mineralisation is associated with steeper north-south mineralised structures.

Detailed work is ongoing using geochemical data to better understand the broad geochemical signature of the mineralisation.

Once defined, this signature can be used for exploration over the Mayday North project area.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

Bardoc Gold's Chief Executive Officer, Mr Robert Ryan, said the recent drilling success at Mayday North continues to show the potential for further growth at this important satellite deposit:

"The latest drilling results have once again extended the strike of the resource to the north, highlighting the excellent potential for northern and down-plunge extensions of the deposit. This will be tested with further drilling."

"The recent RC program has provided an intriguing anomaly located just 350m to the west of the current 79koz resource. Intersecting broad zones of anomalous gold mineralisation associated with the GAIP surveys target areas in our very first round of regional drilling is extremely encouraging. We will now look to determine the mineralisation, geochemical and structural controls for future drill targeting as part of our ongoing 40,000m exploration program."

MAYDAY NORTH GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION

While Mayday North is not a "blind" ore body with no near surface grade or geological expression, it is a challenging and complex region to explore. This is due to the presence of a deep and extremely depleted weathered zone above the top of fresh rock together with complex geology.

Figure 4 shows how traditional drilling systems such as RAB (rotary air blast) techniques struggle to reach true fresh rock and the recent deeper RC drilling of the GAIP anomaly by Bardoc Gold intersected significant gold below RAB holes that reported nil gold.

The Company pursues a philosophy of applying science to its projects to better understand the controls of the mineralisation. Increased scientific application has its reward in reducing the number of wasted drill holes, achieving better ranking of exploration targets and increasing confidence in ore resource classification.

With the correct application of trace element geochemistry, collected by ongoing pXRF sampling, the Company's geological team is able to expand the mineralised gold halo search area using specific (unique to Mayday North) pathfinder elements, as well as better defining the geology of the system. The multi-element exploration geochemical model is being developed from the mineralisation found at the Mayday North Deposit.

To advance exploration using geochemistry, the Company has used highly experienced and skilled personnel to collect the freshest chips from drill holes completed from the late 1980s onwards.

While this collection phase may appear to be a simple process, the passage of time has seen the growth of vegetation obscure the drill holes and historical holes can be up to 20-30m from where they are expected to be as surveying methods were not as accurate before GPS came into common usage.

By going back and re-sampling the historical drilling, rock samples can be studied using modern techniques, without having to drill additional holes. These samples can then be analysed and used in the ongoing evolution and refinement of the geological and exploration model.

At Mayday North, higher-grade mineralisation is located on a basal breccia on what is interpreted to be the lower surface of the felsic volcanic unit. This is significant as it appears that this contact is overturned to the west of the open pit at the new prospect, just 350m away from the main lode.

The existing airborne magnetic data in this region is quite wide spaced at 200m flight line intervals. To assist with the exploration of the Mayday North project area, our geologists worked with consultant geophysicists Resource Potentials, who have expertise in using geophysical techniques to explore for blind mineral deposits.

The use of geological and geophysical expertise led to the decision to undertake a gradient array induced polarisation (GAIP) survey to detect chargeable and resistive areas of the near-surface geology over the project area.

The GAIP survey has defined areas of chargeability, resistivity and conductivity that may be associated with mineralised zones. The Company is in the process of using this data to update the geological and exploration models to guide ongoing drilling and exploration programs at Mayday North.

GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY

The Company chose to conduct a GAIP survey over the main areas of Mayday North to enable mapping of resistive and chargeable units of rock. These features are commonly related to hydrothermal changes (i.e. gold mineralisation events) in the Eastern Goldfields. The survey has successfully identified:

  • Resistive units from the survey indicate potential silicification and quartz veining which is known to commonly occur with gold mineralisation; and
  • Chargeable units are potentially associated with sulphide minerals, pyrite and arsenopyrite which are known to commonly occur with gold mineralisation and are present at the Mayday North Deposit.

This GAIP survey has been successful and has delineated areas of resistive and chargeable units. This new GAIP data has highlighted structures not previously observed in airborne magnetic data and is being used to update the geological interpretation and targets for drilling. This survey covered an area of 2km2 with a spacing of 100m between lines and 50m along the line.

GAIP surveys can map out what appears to be only minor alteration in the rocks and, as such, is an excellent tool for mapping prospective units. Figure 3 shows areas targeted for further exploration generated from the combination of GAIP, airborne magnetics, geochemistry and geology.

Figure 3. Exploration target areas with resistivity and conductivity.

Page 5 of 16

To date only two lines of drilling have been completed to commence exploration of the Mayday North Project area. Both lines targeted chargeable units from the GAIP survey and intersected gold.

The best results were:

7m @ 1.01g/t Au from 135m in MNC200025

69m @ 0.26g/t Au from 47m in MNC200030

Both holes are significant. They have established a previously unknown gold trend just 350m to the west of the existing open pit and require follow-up work. Importantly, the intersection in MNC200025 looks the same and is geologically similar to the main mineralisation at Mayday North, with the same alteration and sulphide mineralisation.

As noted above, there is a strong depletion zone in the weathering profile at the Mayday North Project area.

Figure 4 shows this depletion and demonstrates the inability for RAB drilling to fully test for mineralisation as it has not been able to penetrate close to the top of fresh rock and there is no anomalous gold in the historical RAB holes directly above significant gold located in MNC200030.

Deeper drilling will be required to fully test the target areas.

Air-core drilling is ongoing near the Bardoc office area, with lines of holes focused on exploration and sterilisation areas for the future mill and tailings dam locations.

BARDOC GOLD PROJECT - BACKGROUND

The Bardoc Gold Project was formed in October 2018 following completion of the merger between Excelsior Gold and Spitfire Materials, bringing together significant resources and excellent potential for growth. The Bardoc Gold Project runs contiguously north for 40km in the Eastern Goldfields. There are four main deposits and a multitude of smaller projects within the 250km2 land-holding, providing a large Resource base and excellent exploration potential within the prolific Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belt and junction of the Bardoc Tectonic Zone (BTZ) and the Black Flag Fault (BFF).

These two deep-seated crustal structures host many multi-million-ounce deposits, including the world- renowned Golden Mile in Kalgoorlie.

BDC RC samples are visually logged for moisture content, sample recovery

the contractor aims to maximize recovery at all times. RC holes are drilled

dry whenever practicable to maximize recovery of sample.

The DC drillers use a core barrel and wire line unit to recover the core, they

aim to recover all core at all times and adjust their drilling methods and

rates to minimise core loss, i.e. different techniques for broken ground to

ensure as little core as possible is washed away with drill cuttings.

Study of sample recovery vs gold grade does not show any bias towards

differing sample recoveries or gold grade. The drilling contractor uses

standard industry drilling techniques to ensure minimal loss of any size

BDC samples submitted to the laboratory are sorted and reconciled against

the submission documents. BDC inserts blanks and standards with blanks

submitted in sample number sequence at 1 in 50 and standards submitted

in sample number sequence at 1 in 20. The laboratory uses their own

internal standards of 2 duplicates, 2 replicates, 2 standards, and 1 blank per

50 fire assays. The laboratory also uses barren flushes on the pulveriser.

In the field every 10th metre from cone splitter is bagged and placed in order

on the ground with other samples. This sample is then used for collection of

field duplicates via riffle splitting, this is yet to occur for the drilling reported

in this announcement.

For DC, no core duplicates (i.e. half core) have been collected or submitted.

The sample sizes are considered to be appropriate for the type, style,

thickness and consistency of mineralization located at this project. The

sample size is also appropriate for the sampling methodology employed and
