Thomson Resources (ASX: TMZ) (Thomson or the Company) advises that it has entered into a binding Terms Sheet to acquire EL7896 ("Barellan tenement") which is located in the Lachlan Fold Belt in NSW and situated approximately 20km north west of the Harry Smith gold project (see Figure 1). Thomson has also lodged an EL Application for land between the Barellan tenement and the Harry Smith gold project - ELA6181 (Bolaro) (see Figure 1). These 2 EL acquisitions when added to existing EL's and ELA's held by Thomson in the Lachlan Fold Belt will increase Thomson's land holding to an aggregate of just over 2,360 km2.

Barellan gold acquisition

The current holders of the Barellan tenement are private company Cape Clear (Lachlan) Pty Ltd and ASX listed Carpentaria Resources Ltd (ASX: CAP) ("Vendors"). The tenement is located 40km north of Narrandera and 20km southwest of Ardlethan.

The Barellan target is also approximately 25km north west of the Harry Smith gold project and has similar host rocks (see Figure 1). Recent drilling has confirmed that a large gold system exists at Harry Smith1 and enhanced the Company's understanding of the mineralisation and controls within that project which can be leveraged for future exploration activities at Barellan and Bolaro.

The Barellan tenement is located within the Wagga-Omeo segment of the Lachlan Fold Belt, or central Lachlan Fold Belt (CLFB), and covers Ordovician-Silurian sediments intruded by significant volumes of S-type Silurian granite and granodiorite. Within New South Wales this granite intrusion extends for a distance of over 600km from north of Cobar south to the Victorian State border (and beyond). The batholith is noted as host to important tin and tungsten mineralisation at the historical mining districts of Ardlethan and Gibsonvale.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

The Barellan tenement contains the Warrawong Prospect which has been the focus of exploration by the Vendors. It contains a 1km long anomaly with quite subtle gold levels in the soil and basement interfaces. The Warrawong Prospect has one small and shallow historical hard rock Au and Sb working, significant gold-antimony mineralisation defined in first-pass geochemical surveys and shallow drilling along 'strike' from the mine. Gold mineralisation is hosted in hairline to cm-scalequartz-sulphide veins hosted by sediments and is interpreted to be situated in the roof zone of a buried granite, with strong potential for stockwork, replacement or other structurally controlled intrusion related gold mineralisation.

The 'discovery' of the Warrawong Prospect dates back to the 1980's. Exploration at this time was focused on the evaluation of an 18-metre wide exposure of iron-stainedquartz-vein stockwork in metasediments, uncovered by a farmer in a crop paddock drainage channel. An initial surface rock- chip sample traverse along the channel (across strike) defined a zone averaging 18m @ 2.5g/t Au and 1.0% Sb, which included 10 m at 3.65g/t Au and 1.79% Sb.

The other indication of gold mineralisation in the immediate district is the small hand-excavated mine 600m to the north, which presumably produced a small quantity of gold and is now backfilled.

A channel rock chip sampling program and shallow auger drilling program was conducted by Carpentaria Resources in 2014. Carpentaria Resources noted that, the survey, which followed up historical RAB drilling, defined a 200m x 30m plus 50 ppb bedrock gold (plus arsenic and antimony) anomaly open to the south east (see Figure 2). At the centre of this anomaly is a contour drain that returned 60m at 1.5g/t gold (including 10m at 4.5g/t gold) in historical work that was resampled where possible and returned 32m at 0.5g/t gold. However, the entire channel was not able to be systematically sampled. A maximum result of 1m at 8.8g/t gold in an area overlapping the historical high-grade result was returned confirming the presence of high grade mineralisation. The Warrawong prospect contains hairline quartz sulphide vein stock work hosted by sediments, interpreted to be situated in the roof zone of a buried granite with potential for stock work, replacement or other structurally controlled intrusion related gold mineralisation.2

In 2017, Cape Clear (Lachlan) Pty Ltd drilled 2 angled diamond core holes for a total of 268m and undertook a program of geochemical soil auger sampling at Warrawong which aimed at infilling and

extending the initial auger program completed by Carpentaria Resources, to determine the size and tenor of the subsurface Au-Sb geochemistry and better define targets for follow up drilling.

Thomson believes the tenement is still very much underexplored and intends to apply its learnings from exploration work on the Harry Smith gold project to better understand the opportunity here.

Transaction Details

Thomson will acquire 100% legal and beneficial interest in the Barellan tenement (as described above) and the associated information and agreements from the Vendors ("Sale Interest"). The Consideration for the Sale Interest shall comprise a total of 3,000,000 fully paid shares in Thomson to Cape Clear (Lachlan) Pty Ltd and the assumption of a 1% net smelter royalty (NSR) over the Barellan tenement which has been issued in favour of Carpentaria Resources.

Completion will be subject to a number of conditions precedent:

1. any approvals required by the ASX;
2. Ministerial consent, if required, to be obtained in relation to transfer of effective control of the Tenement; and
3. other conditions precedent usual for this type of transaction.

The conditions must be satisfied (or waived) on or before 30 June 2021 (or such other date as the parties agree).

Bolaro EPM

Given the success of the recent results from the follow-up drilling at Harry Smith gold project which has identified a large gold system with open pit potential4, and the Barellan acquisition agreement, Thomson has submitted an application for a new EL, ELA 6181 (Bolaro). The Bolaro ELA covers 295 km2 and connects Thomson's Frying Pan EL, which incorporates the Harry Smith gold project, and the Barellan EL (see Figure 1).

The new Bolaro ELA covers a zone of faults (from magnetics) that wrap around the Grong Grong granite and up to the Moombooldool granite. The ELA covers the northern margin and southern margin of these granites respectively. The eastern bounding fault is probably the biggest and that runs up the western margins of the Ganmain granite (not labelled), Boblegigbie granite, Rosemorder granite and the Ardlethan Granite.

This announcement was authorised for issue by the Board.
