High-Grade results received in aircore at
CAV has completed a program of 105 aircore holes for 8,885m following up strong gold grades intercepted in previous aircore programs. Shallow bedrock gold results confirm a gold bearing system with a strike length of 15km. Significant results from the recent aircore drilling at Ora Banda South include:

Aircore drilling at the
To date, aircore has been drilled on wide spaced lines, across the new gold prospects with holes drilled on 40m to 80m drill centres. This has successfully discovered three new prospects within the tenement package. The results from the most recent drilling outline and confirm significant gold mineralisation in the regolith geochemistry at Carnage and Highlander. CAV has gained an improved understanding of the geology and structure as well as the depth of weathering within the regolith profile across the tenement package that has refined the targeting process. (See ASX release Exploration Update
The mineralisation at Carnage is interpreted to be orientated North- East along the Carnage Shear and is modified to have a more North-South trend by the geology. Both trends are evident within the interpreted gold contours that are shown in (Figure 1). Gold mineralisation has been intersected in both the transported material and the residual saprolite and saprock. The gold anomalies in the transported material are spatially related to the bedrock mineralisation as can be seen in the cross section (figure 3). This can help provide an additional vector to further mineralisation. The high-grade mineralisation of 4m @ 30.2g/t in OBAC413 appears to be related to the sediment mafic boundary and it is interpreted that a gold bearing structure is present at this interface. This high-grade zone provides a good target for a future RC program (Figure 2). In section C-D through Carnage (Figure 3) the high grade in OBAC379 ended in mineralisation with an intercept of 7m @ 5.95g/t. This intercept is surrounded by strong gold anomalism both in the residual saprolite and the transported cover overlying and adjacent to it. This shallow bedrock gold mineralisation provides a strong target for RC drilling to unlock the potential fresh rock mineralisation at depth.

Forward Looking Statements
Statements regarding Carnavale's plans with respect to the mineral properties, resource reviews, programs, economic studies and future development are forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that Carnavale's plans for development of its mineral properties will proceed any time in the future. There can also be no assurance that Carnavale will be able to confirm the presence of additional mineral resources/reserves, that any mineralisation will prove to be economic or that a mine will successfully be developed on any of Carnavale's mineral properties.
