Gold Exploration Update

Bulong Taurus continues to be the main focus of gold exploration:

  • All recent drill programs completed at Bulong Taurus:
  1. 35 RC drill holes completed for 3,519m, assay results pending.
    1. Assay results for 400 shallow auger holes confirm extensive gold anomalism continuing south and southeast from La Mascotte for up to 1.5km.
  • Diamond drill planning underway at La Mascotte to define gold mineralisation controls. Drilling to commence late March or April.
  • RC drilling scheduled for May to follow-up the recently completed program and test additional new targets.

Ninga Mia gold project at Kalgoorlie-Boulder to be drilled:

  • Initial drilling at Ninga Mia project to test gold-controlling structures extending from the Golden Mile at Kalgoorlie-Boulder.
  • Over 30 targets generated, to be ranked and prioritised for drilling. None of these adequately tested by historic exploration.

Dataset acquisition and targeting underway for generative projects:

  • Pianto gold-in-granite tenement granted, planning underway for initial aircore drill program.
  • Perrinvale high-resolution magnetics dataset received and gold targeting underway. Aircore program expected to commence 2nd quarter 2022.
  • High-resolutionmagnetics dataset expected shortly to focus targeting along the Keith Kilkenny and Laverton Tectonic Zone projects.

A recently completed RC drill program tested four prospects at the Bulong Taurus gold project. Kalgoorlie Gold Mining Ltd (ASX:KAL) ('KalGold' or 'the Company') is awaiting assay results from this RC program. Encouraging results have just been received from KalGold's 400-hole auger drill program aimed at defining low-level anomalism and identifying new prospects in virgin exploration territory adjacent to the La Mascotte prospect.

KalGold Managing Director and CEO, Dr Matt Painter, noted that:

"As we wait impatiently for gold assay results from recent RC drilling at our Bulong Taurus project, KalGold is moving forward with planning for forthcoming drill programs to ensure the Company continues to progress its highly prospective project portfolio.

Targeting at our Ninga Mia project at Kalgoorlie-Boulder has identified a swathe of never-before- tested targets with direct structural links to the Mt Charlotte gold mine and the Golden Mile. These are being prioritised for drill testing in May.

KalGold will have ongoing news flow as we accelerate our efforts to discover and define gold resources near the gold capital of Australia, Kalgoorlie-Boulder."

Lead project - Bulong Taurus gold project

The Bulong Taurus Project is KalGold's lead project. The return of assay results from recent RC drilling will define mineralisation extents and inform forthcoming drill program design. Initial results are expected in the coming weeks.

Auger assay results from Bulong Taurus reveal extensive gold anomalism

For personal use only

Assay results just in from KalGold's Bulong Taurus auger drill program are promising. Results show extensive and continuous gold anomalism for up to 1.5 km along strike from La Mascotte towards the south and southeast. This area will be targeted in forthcoming drilling.

Several other targets have also been identified by gold anomalism throughout the auger program area. Work is ongoing to fully interrogate the multi-element dataset.

Third phase of RC drilling to commence in May

KalGold has locked in the third phase of RC drilling at Bulong Taurus for May. Targeting is ongoing and ultimately will be informed by the results of the second phase RC program for which results are pending. La Mascotte, Great Ophir, Turnpike, Bennett Dam and other structural and geochemical targets will be tested.

Diamond drill program at La Mascotte prospect

A diamond drill program at the outcropping La Mascotte gold prospect is expected to commence in late March or April, subject to rig availability. Up to eight diamond drill holes are planned to define structural controls on gold mineralisation along the strike length of the prospect. The program is being finalised and is expected to inform targeting for subsequent drill programs as well as contribute significantly to an initial JORC (2012) resource estimate.

Secondary projects - the Ninga Mia gold project

The Ninga Mia project at Kalgoorlie-Boulder is presently the focus of targeting in preparation for drilling. It is located just outside Kalgoorlie-Boulder to the north of the Golden Mile and the Superpit and is several kilometres from the Ninga Mia community from which the project takes its name (Figure 3).

Initial RC drilling at Ninga Mia

Pending government approval of a Program of Works, an initial RC drill program at Ninga Mia will also commence in May.

Around 30 targets have been defined where extensions of the Mount Charlotte Fault, Reward Fault, and other gold controlling structures at the Mount Charlotte gold mine cross the broad and extensive Gidji Fault Zone and its splays. Northern Star's Two-Up gold discovery (ASX: NST) lies immediately west of KalGold's tenure and targets that are along strike from Two-Up will require testing.

KalGold is currently working to prioritise targets for drill testing. These targets represent application of the latest research into gold mineralisation processes and associations, and have not been applied to the area before. Initial examination indicates that the majority of new targets generated at Ninga Mia have not been tested in historical drill programs.

Generative Projects

KalGold's extensive tenement position in the highly prolific Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia is strategically situated along the major geological structures of the region. These structures, such as the Laverton Tectonic Zone and the Keith-Kilkenny Tectonic Zone, provide the plumbing for hydrothermal gold mineralisation throughout the region.

potential but are at an early stage of exploration. Efforts to generate specific targets for drill testing are proceeding on all tenure, with particular focus at Perrinvale and Pianto.

Perrinvale gold project developments

Targeting is underway at Perrinvale in preparation for a first-pass aircore drilling program. Our new, detailed aeromagnetic dataset, covering the greater Perrinvale and Mt Ida region, is helping to define gold mineralisation at the northern extension of the Mt Ida greenstone belt within KalGold's tenure. Only very limited historic gold exploration has been conducted within the project area and its immediate surrounds.

An initial program is expected to test several specific sites. Timing is subject to rig availability, but is expected to commence around May to June.

Pianto gold project developments

Tenement E29/1125 was recently granted by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS). The tenement hosts the Pianto project which comprises laterally extensive gold-in-granite targets, similar to the Golden Cities gold mine to the south, that are entirely obscured by transported material and calcrete. An aircore/slimline RC program is being designed to test the targets.

Regional aeromagnetic dataset acquisition

The first part of a regional aeromagnetic, radiometric and elevation model dataset has been acquired, with more detailed data expected shortly. These datasets will be used to define high-quality targets over the Keith Kilkenny Tectonic Zone projects and the Laverton Tectonic Zone projects.

The Keith Kilkenny Tectonic Zone projects comprise mining tenements containing nickel laterite resources defined by extensive historic drilling. KalGold does not own the nickel resources, but retains access to all historic drill pulps archived in Kalgoorlie-Boulder. The vast majority of these samples have not previously been assayed for gold. KalGold intends to reassay selected historic drill pulps (where available within generated target areas) to help define gold anomalism, and/or discoveries on these tenements prior to follow up drilling.

The KalGold team continues to proactively explore the Company's highly prospective Eastern Goldfields tenement portfolio to extend known outcropping zones of gold mineralisation and make discoveries.
