Greenstone Resources Limited (ASX:GSR) (Greenstone or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on the Mt personalThirsty Joint Venture (the MTJV) following the recent palladium-platinum-gold-copper-nickel discovery by Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX:GAL) (Galileo) located less than 200 metres from the northern tenement boundary held by the MTJV.
The MTJV is located 16 kilometres North-Northwest of Norseman, Western Australia and is owned by Greenstone Resources (50%) and Conico Limited (ASX: CNJ) (50%).
F llowing the recent Callisto discovery by Galileo (GAL, ASX Announcement 11 May 2022) the MTJV have subsequently appointed an independent team of multidisciplinary technical experts to support the target generation process and in doing so providing the best chance of defining projected along strike extensions to Callisto, consisting of:

In conjunction with the MTJV geological teams, this team will leverage off the extensive geological database of historical information to form a multidisciplinary approach to exploration at the MTJV by reviewing the potential lithological, structural, geochemical and geophysical controls on mineralisation.

EXPLORATION UPDATE
▪ Multidisciplinary geological review targeting Platreef analogues expected to be completed early-Julyonly▪ Program of Work (PoW) applications submitted with DMIRS and are anticipated within the next 2-4 weeks
▪ Notification of ground disturbing activities submitted with Ngadju and heritage approval expected in July ▪ Multipurpose diamond and reverse circulation drill rig confirmed for an initial 5,000 metre program
▪ Pending the receipt of PoW applications and heritage approvals, drilling is expected to begin in late July
useBACKGROUND & TECHNICAL DISCUSSION
Galileo recently announced (GAL, ASX Announcement, 11 May 2022) the completion of six reverse circulation drillholes at Callisto targeting a mineralised sulphide unit on the contact between an ultramafic sill and a package of sedimentary rocks. An initial appraisal of the results from Callisto by Galileo indicates similarities in mineralisation style to the Platreef deposits on the northern limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa. The Platreef deposits are very large in nature and have combined indicated resources of >700Mt at a 1 g/t 3PE+Au cut off1 and contain palladium, platinum, gold, rhodium, copper, and nickel. Significant intercepts from the discovery hole NRC266 drilled by Galileo on their tenure, include2:
- 33 metres @ 2.00g/t 3E3 (1.64g/t Pd, 0.28g/t Pt, 0.09g/t Au), 0.32% Cu & 0.30% Ni from 144m, including;
- 6 metres @ 2.69g/t 3E (2.21g/t Pd, 0.37g/t Pt, 0.11g/t Au), 0.41% Cu & 0.36% Ni from 159m; and
- 1 metre @ 3.21g/t 3E (2.66g/t Pd, 0.41g/t Pt, 0.14g/t Au), 0.48% Cu & 0.46% Ni from 176m.
personalImportantly for the MTJV, Galileo's recent discovery at Callisto is only 200 metres from the northern tenement b undary held by the MTJV with the extension of the prospective mineralised horizon onto MTJV tenure supported
by geophysics & lithology (GSR, ASX Announcement, 16 May 2022). Despite extensive shallow drilling over the Mt Thirsty resource area (JORC Inferred and Indicated Resources of 26.9Mt at 0.126% cobalt, and 0.54% nickel, see Annexure A), the prospective eastern margin remains largely untested (Figure 1) with only 3.5% of all holes drilled at Mt Thirsty penetrating deeper than 100 metres, also noting Galileo's discovery hole was from 144 metres downhole. As such, an initial review indicates that a further 1.5km of the prospective mineralised horizon may extend onto the MTJV tenure.

ABOUT MT THIRSTY
onlyThe Mt Thirsty Joint Venture (MTJV) is located 16 kilometres North-Northwest of Norseman, Western Australia (50% Greenstone Resources, 50% Conico Limited).
The Project contains the Mt Thirsty cobalt-nickel oxide deposit with a JORC Resource of 26.9Mt at 0.126% cobalt, and 0.54% nickel4. A Pre- Feasibility Study (PFS) of the Project was completed and announced to the ASX on 20 February 2020. In addition to the Co-Ni oxide deposit, the Project also hosts nickel sulphide mineralisation potential.
