44

Contributing factors – Pre-discovery






• Updated compilation and validation of all available exploration data



• Knowledge from previous exploration on a regional and deposit scale (eg. Toweranna)


• Updated geological interpretation and targeting



• Strong board support - funding and encouragement of regional exploration, focus on drilling



• Large scale heritage surveys clearing large areas for grass roots exploration


• Importance of effective drilling and sampling, over broad areas



• Importance of scale






















45

Contributing factors – Syn-discovery






• Data capture and validation procedures reasonably streamlined and effective


• Early recognition of “Hemi-style” lithologies, alteration and mineralisation by rig geologists



• pXRF for As - allowed rapid follow up drilling before assays back


• Pre-existing relationships with drilling and assay companies



• Minimal Covid impact in WA



• Detailed geochem analysis – assist targeting at both regional and deposit scale


• Drill, drill, drill. Since Jan 2020 – 330km AC, 274km RC, 70km DD core























46

The Hunt for the next Hemi






▪ Geophysics and geochemistry


utilised to target prospective areas


▪ Identify new, mineralised intrusives

with wide-spaced aircore



▪ Test prospective areas with RC and

diamond drilling



▪ Step out and test along strike and

down dip of mineralisation



▪ Potential for mineralised intrusive

below sediments with minimal

anomalism












47

Looking ahead – MallinaProject





▪ Prefeasibility Study underway


▪ Hemi deposits still remain open, particularly at depth


▪ Numerous targets across tenements – Intrusion and shear-hosted


▪ Very low discovery cost of ~$8.50 per resource ounce


▪ Drilling ongoing (12-14 rigs) - Hemi, Greater Hemi and Regional



▪ Looking forward to adding ounces and the next discovery






























48

Metallurgy






▪ Flotation to recover sulphide concentrate


(8% feed mass)



▪ Oxidation by pressure oxidation (POX),

bacterial oxidation (BIOX®), or ultra-fine

grinding (Albion®).



▪ Oxide samples are free milling, can bypass

the flotation and oxidation circuits



▪ 92.5% gold recoveries overall to date
