  • 46,717m (328 holes) of 54,000m completed to date, with the Company currently awaiting approximately 15,349m of results.

  • Drilling along the White Dam-Jackson trend is in progress to follow up recent promising results.

  • Drilling completed at Nanicup Bridge to underpin a maiden satellite Resource.

Ausgold Limited (ASX: AUC) ( Ausgold or Company ) is pleased to report assay results from extensional and in-fill drilling within the Central Zone at its 100%-owned Katanning Gold Project ( KGP ) in WA, part of the current 54,000m reverse circulation ( RC ) and diamond drilling ( DD ) campaign.

The drilling campaign is targeting resource growth at the KGP, supporting potential for future reserve conversion, improving confidence in early mine life areas, as well as targeting new discoveries across the Company’s 3,000km[2 ] of regional tenure in the south-west of Western Australia.

Management Comments

Commenting on the drilling results, Ausgold Executive Chairman, John Dorward, said:

“The ongoing drilling campaign continues to deliver exceptional results across multiple fronts at the Katanning Gold Project. The consistency of high-grade results from both in-fill and extensional drilling continues to strengthen the Katanning growth story. With extensions of the mineralisation confirmed beneath the DFS Update pits and outside current reserves, we see a clear opportunity to grow the production base and extend mine life, while simultaneously optimising the early years of production. With regional drilling at Nanicup Bridge now complete, we are looking forward to reporting results from this exciting satellite project along with the balance of results from the KGP.”

Katanning Gold Project

The KGP lies within a major mineralised structural corridor, with exploration to date outlining a 15km trend hosting multi-lode gold mineralisation across three key Resource zones (Figure 1):

  • Northern Zone : Datatine deposit.

  • Central Zone : Jinkas-White Dam, Jackson and Olympia deposits.

  • Southern Zone : Dingo and Lukin deposits.

Drilling Results

RC drilling results reported in this announcement comprise 75 holes for 9,941m completed across the Central Zone, predominantly targeting the Jinkas-White Dam deposits, with the remainder of drilling completed into the footwall Jackson deposit (Figure 2). Two DD holes for 298m were drilled into the Jinkas-White Dam deposits for the purpose of collecting additional metallurgical testwork samples.

A total of 23 RC in-fill holes for 3,522m were drilled primarily into the Jinkas-White Dam deposit, with the purpose of converting Inferred Resources to Indicated status beneath the DFS pits, supporting potential

for future reserve growth, and targeting areas of the resource with the potential to enhance grade and improve local estimation confidence. Significant intercepts from this drilling include:

  • 11m @ 7.88g/t from 99m including 2m @ 41.25g/t from 100m in BSRC2022

  • 21m @ 3.27g/t from 105m including 14m @ 4.69g/t from 110m in BSRC1978

  • 20m @ 1.41g/t from 192m including 3m @ 2.94g/t from 192m and 6m @ 2.34g/t from 203m in BSRC2024 (Figure 3)

  • 11.5m @ 2.07g/t from 150m including 5.3m @ 4.12g/t from 150m in BSDD053

  • 17m @ 0.85g/t from 104m including 3m @ 2.18g/t from 116m in BSRC1977

  • 5.0m @ 2.89g/t from 232m in BSRC2022

  • 13m @ 1.02g/t from 242m including 2.0m @ 2.60g/t from 246m and 2.0m @ 2.30g/t from 253m in BSRC1976

  • 10m @ 1.27g/t from 258m including 2m @ 3.68g/t from 258m in BSRC2024

These results increase confidence in the potential for Resource-to-Reserve conversion in the primary Jinkas Pit, as well as potential to increase grade across the greater Jinkas-White Dam deposit.

A total of 38 in-fill RC and diamond drill holes for 2,407m were drilled into the Jinkas-White Dam deposit for the purpose of upgrading the first two years of the mine plan to measured classification, supporting early production confidence. Significant intercepts from this drilling include:

  • 12m @ 5.55g/t from 37m including 9m @ 7.26g/t from 39m in BSRC1961 (Figure 4)

  • 1m @ 76.00g/t from 18m in BSRC2021

  • 15m @ 1.98g/t from 16m including 9m @ 3.06g/t from 21m in BSRC1962 (Figure 4)

  • 4m @ 6.37g/t from 37m including 3m @ 8.34g/t from 37m in BSRC1991

  • 11m @ 1.80g/t from 4m including 6m @ 2.95g/t from 6m in BSRC1998

  • 7m @ 2.59g/t from 64m including 3m @ 5.64g/t from 66m in BSRC1979

  • 3m @ 3.04g/t from 6m in BSRC1980

These results highlight consistent, high-grade mineralisation within the early years of the mine plan and support the upgrade to measured classification, providing increased confidence in early production and cash flow.

Grade reconciliation from in-fill drilling provides strong support for the existing geological and grade models, with most results either in line with or exceeding expectations, reinforcing confidence in the Mineral Resource Estimate.

A total of 16 RC holes for 4,310m were drilled to test mineralisation beyond the current 2.44Moz Mineral Resource[2] envelope, successfully extending mineralisation across all major Central Zone deposits and delivering the following significant results:

  • 9m @ 2.64g/t from 165m in BSRC1935 (White Dam-Jackson) (Figure 5)

  • 12m @ 1.51g/t from 200m including 2m @ 5.39g/t from 200m in BSRC1936 (White Dam-Jackson)

  • 3m @ 2.95g/t from 119m in BSRC1973 (White Dam-Jackson)

  • 7.0m @ 1.09g/t from 148m in BSRC2006 (Jinkas)

  • 11.0m @ 0.70g/t from 183m in BSRC2016 (Jinkas)

  • 8m @ 0.89g/t from 222m in BSRC2016 (Jinkas)

The results from the White Dam-Jackson lodes are particularly exciting, as the results indicate the emergence of a down-plunge repetition of the White Dam lode over a 620m strike length beneath the existing Resource (Figure 6).

The White Dam-Jackson lodes remain shallowly tested compared to the Jinkas lodes, with RC drilling continuing along the White Dam-Jackson Trend.

Further Work

  • Initial RC drilling to extend the primary Jinkas lode down-plunge is complete, with assays pending. EIS-supported diamond drilling to test further down-plunge extensions, including modelled EM plate targets, is scheduled to commence imminently (Figure 7).

  • Further down-dip opportunities at Jinkas have been identified with RC drilling scheduled to commence in late April (Figure 7).

  • Diamond drilling at Datatine, targeting in-fill and potential extensions of high-grade mineralisation, is complete, with core to be dispatched for analysis late April.

  • Drilling at Jackson and White Dam is currently in progress, with programs designed to follow up on promising results beneath the current Resource reported in this announcement (Figure 5-6).

  • RC drilling at Nanicup Bridge is complete, with assays pending from Resource-focused drilling aimed at expanding the Company’s growth beyond the KGP.

  • RC drilling at early-stage regional targets Moulyinning and Kulin is scheduled to commence in late April.

Notes to Table 1 .

For RC drill assay results the intervals reported are thickness-weighted averages (i.e. XXm grading XX grams per tonne gold content). Reported intervals are calculated using ≥ 0.3g/t Au cut-off grade and using a ≤ 2m minimum internal dilution. All ‘included’ intervals are calculated using >1.0g/t Au cutoff and using a ≤ 2m minimum internal dilution.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry
standard
measurement
tools
appropriate to the minerals under investigation,
such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not
be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m
samples from which 3kg was pulverised to
produce a 30g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
The reverse circulation (RC) drilling program referred to in this announcement consists of75RC holes for
9,941m.
The diamond (DD) drilling program referred to in this announcement consists of2DD holes for297.57m.
RC
Samples from RC drilling were collected in one metre intervals in mineralised zones with a 1/8 split for assay,
split by a cyclone-mounted cone splitter, bagged in pre-numbered calico bags and the remainder retained
in large plastic bags.
Selected non-mineralised zones were spear sampled over 1m intervals and composited to a 3m sample.
Composite spear sampling is only applied in known non-mineralised intervals and is not used within
mineralised zones.
Field duplicates (additional split from RC) are inserted into the sequence at a rate of 1 in 20 samples.
Field certified reference materials and blanks are inserted into the sequence of assay samples at a rate of 1
in 25.
Each RC metre sampled weighed approximately 2 to 3 kilograms.
Samples were sorted, dried, crushed to 10mm then pulverised to -75µm. Gold was analysed from a 50g
charge and using fire assay (Au AA26).
DD
Samples from DD drilling were nominally collected at 1m intervals, however, where appropriate the
geologist adjusted these intervals to match geological intervals. HQ diamond drill core was split using a
diamond bladed saw with one quarter being submitted for analysis.
QAQC samples consisting of standards and blanks were inserted into the sequence of assay samples at a rate
of 1 in 25.

Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
RC
RC drilling was conducted using a truck mounted 660 Schramm reverse circulation rig, using a 139-143mm
diameter bit.
DD
Diamond drilling was conducted using a track mounted Sandvik DR800 rig using HQ drill sizes (standard
tubes). Drill core was orientated at least every 3-6m using an Axis Mining Champ orientation tool
(CHAMPORITM).
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.
RC
A semi-quantitative estimate of sample recovery is done for each sample. Drill sample recovery
approximates to 100% in all mineralised zones.
Samples were collected dry. Variation from this is recorded in the drill log.
The cyclone-mounted cone splitter is cleaned thoroughly between rod changes. The cyclone is cleaned every
30m, or between rod changes when sample is wet. In addition, the cyclone is generally cleaned at the base
of transported cover and the base of completed oxidation, and after each hole to minimise cross- hole
contamination.
The relationship between sample recovery and grade and whether bias has been introduced has not been
investigated at this stage.
DD
A quantitative measure of sample recovery was done for each run of core. Recoveries were generally
excellent (>95%), with reduced recovery in the initial near-surface material (unmineralised).
Given the consistently excellent recoveries, the relationship between sample recovery and grade and
whether bias has been introduced has not been investigated at this stage.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level
of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource
estimation,
mining
studies
and
metallurgical studies.
Whether logging isqualitative orquantitative in
All holes in the current program have been geologically logged to a high level of detail to support the
definition of geological domains appropriate to support Mineral Resource Estimation and exploration work.
Geologists logging drilling have been trained how to log to a high level of detail through their university
studies as well as by Supervising Geologists experienced in the geology of the region, including high
metamorphic terranes.

For RC drilling representative rock chips from every metre were collected in chip trays and logged by the
geologist at the drill site.
For DD drilling, core was collected in core trays and logged by the geologist at a core yard proximal to the
drill site.
Lithology, weathering (oxidation state), veining, mineralisation, alteration and structures (diamond only) are
recorded in detail using standard digital logging sheets and defined look up tables to ensure that all data is
collected consistently.
Reference cards aided the logging of sulphides, which along with the experience of logging geologists,
ensures sulphide estimates are reliable and reproduceable.
Logging data is entered using tablet computers. All data is validated by the logging geologist before being
entered in an acQuire database.
All chip trays and core trays are photographed using a SLR camera and images recorded using the cloud-
based system.

All 3m composites collected are speared through the bulk sample for each metre within the large plastic
bags and composited into pre-numbered calico bag through the known non-mineralised intervals. These
composite samples are recorded in the sample log for each hole.
All samples have the aim of being drilled dry, where samples are moist or wet due to ground conditions the
rig geologist will record in the sample log for each hole.

whether the technique is considered partial or

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld
XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in
determining the analysis including instrument
make and model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted
(e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels
of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have
been established.
Analysis for gold was undertaken by ALS by fire assay (Au AA26), considered to be a to be a ‘total assay
technique’.
Field quality control procedures adopted comprised of entering a sequence of matrix matched commercially
certified reference materials (CRM’s), and blanks into the sample run at a frequency of approximately 1 in
25 samples for RC drilling. Field duplicates were collected every 1 in 20 samples for RC drilling.
For diamond drilling, samples were nominally collected at 1m intervals, however, where appropriate the
geologist adjusted these intervals to match geological intervals. HQ diamond drill core was split using a
diamond bladed saw with one quarter being submitted for analysis. QAQC samples consisting of standards
and blanks were inserted into the sequence of assay samples at a rate of 1 in 25.
Gold CRM’s were sourced from Geostats Pty Ltd and are used to check accuracy and bias of the analytical
method. Gold certified values range between 0.38g/t and 2.33g/t.
Blank material was sourced from Geostats Pty Ltd and should be below detection limits.
Standard reference materials are used to check accuracy and bias of the analytical method. The results were
similar to the standard concentration for the specific standard.
QAQC samples were monitored on a batch‐by‐batch basis. An assay batch is accepted if the blank samples
are within the acceptable limits (5 times the lower detection limit) and the standards are within the + 3SD
(standard deviations). One failed standard can cause rejection if the results around the failed standard are
not in the normal grade range. A batch is also re‐assayed when assay results from two or more standards
are outside the acceptable limits. The inserted blank materials did not show any consistent issues with
sample contamination.
Review of CRM’s and blanks suggest an acceptable level of accuracy (lack of bias) is established.
The performance of field duplicates in RC samples is generally reasonable and the variations are related to
the style of mineralisation.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Internal laboratory checks are conducted including insertion of CRM’S, blanks and conducting lab duplicates.
Review of the internal laboratory QA/QC checks suggests the laboratory is performing within acceptable
limits.
Verification of
sampling and

The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
High standard QAQC procedures are in place therefore repeatability issues from a QAQC point of view are
not considered to be significant.
Significant and/or unexpected intersections were reviewed by alternate company personnel through review
of geological logging data, physical examination of remaining samples and review of digital geological
interpretations.
All assay data was accepted into the database as supplied by the laboratory.
Data importation into the database is documented through standard operating procedures and is guided by
acQuire import validations to prevent incorrect data capture/importation.
Geological determination data is directly captured in the database through a validation-controlled interface
using Toughbook computers and acQuire database import validations.
Primary data is stored in its source electronic form. Assay data is retained in both the original certificate
(.pdf) form and the text files received from the laboratory. Data entry, validation and storage are discussed
in the section on database integrity below.
Diamond drill holes BSDD052 and BSDD053 were completed as twins of previously drilled RC holes to assess
sampling and assay reproducibility between drilling methods. Comparison of results indicates comparable
grade tenor overall, returning grades consistent with the twinned RC holes.
No adjustments to assaydata were undertaken.
Location of
data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate
drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys),
trenches, mine workings and other locations used
in Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Drill holes are reported in MGA94 datum, UTM zone 50 coordinates. Elevation values are in AHD.
Drill hole collars (and drilling foresight/backsight pegs) were set out and picked up by Ausgold personnel
using a differential GPS; which provided +/- 100 millimetre accuracy.
An end of hole gyroscopic drill hole survey was completed by the drilling contractors using an Axis Mining
Champ Gyro tool. The gyro measured the first shot at 0m followed by every 30m down-hole. The data was
examined and validated onsite by the supervising geologist. Any surveys that were spurious were re-taken.
Validated surveys are entered into the acQuire data base.

procedure(s) and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Drilling was conducted on variable spacings. The drilling was largely on a nominal 20-40m hole spacing and
40-80m line spacing.
Data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation.
No compositing has been applied to mineralised intervals.
Orientation of

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
If
the
relationship
between
the
drilling
orientation
and
the
orientation
of
key
mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.
Drilling typically angled, (nominally -60 towards 244° with minor variations) tested the east dipping lodes (20
– 35°) and gneissic foliation as to minimise bias.
Surface conditions in the drill area mean variations of the nominal drill orientation were used in order to
gain access.
BSRC1929, 1935, 1961-1964, 1975-1978, 1985, 2000, 2012 and 2048 were drilled sub-vertically or steeply
(>73°) to the northeast. The relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have minor sampling bias and is not considered material for the sub-
vertical to vertical holes.
BSRC2010 (angled at 52° to the northeast) is oblique to the lode geometry. Accordingly, reported downhole
intercepts are not necessarilytrue widths and mayoverstate true thickness byapproximately2× .
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security. All drill samples are systematically numbered and placed in pre-printed (numbered) calico bags and placed
into numbered polyweave bags which were tied securely and marked with flagging.
Assay samples were stored at a dispatch area and dispatched weekly. Samples were shipped via a local
logistics company directly to labs in Perth.
The sample dispatches were accompanied by supporting documentation signed by the geologist and
showing the sample submission number, analysis suite and number of samples.
The chain of custody is maintained by the labs once the samples are received on site and a full audit is
conducted.
Assay results are emailed to the responsible geology administrators in Perth and are loaded into the acQuire
database through an automatedprocess. QAQC on import is completed before the results are finalised.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
Before the commencement of this drilling program, the sampling process was fully reviewed and
documented as a standard company process. There were some minor operational and technical adjustments
identified to improve validation of collected data, interpretation of data and management of QAQC
practices. These improvements have been updated into standard operating procedures(manual).

The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments to

Reported results are all from 100% owned Ausgold Exploration Pty Ltd Tenements (wholly owned
subsidiary of Ausgold Limited) – E70/2928, M70/211 and M70/488. The land is used primarily for grazing
and cropping.
The tenements are in good standing, and all work is conducted under specific approvals from the
Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration (DMPE).
Apart from reserved areas, rights to surface land use are held under freehold titles, held by Ausgold.
Written consent under section 18(3) for Jinkas Hill dated 24 January 2018 was granted by Honourable Ben

Exploration

parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration
by other parties.
Gold mineralisation was discovered by Otter Exploration NL in 1979 at Jinkas Hill, Dyliabing, Lone Tree and
White Dam after following up stream sediment anomalies. Between 1984 and 1988 Otter and related
companies evaluated the region with several other explorers including South-West Gold Mines and
Minasco Resources Pty Ltd.
In 1987, Glengarry Mining NL purchased the project and in 1990 entered into a joint venture with Uranerz
who agreed on minimum payments over three years to earn 50% interest. Uranerz withdrew from the
project in 1991 after a decision by their parent company in Germany to cease Australian operations.
International Mineral Resources NL (IMR) purchased the mining leases and the Grants Patch treatment plant
from Glengarry Mining NL in 1995 and commenced mining at the Jinkas deposit in December 1995. Ausgold
understands the mine was closed in 1997 after producing approximately 20,000 oz of gold from the Jinkas
and Dingo Hill open cuts at a head grade of approximately 2.4g/t. In addition, the mine closure was brought
about by a combination of the low gold price of the time (<US$400/oz) and the inability of the processing
plant’s comminution circuit to process hard ore from below the base of weathering. Reports from the period
indicate that the ore bodies were reasonably predictable in terms of grade and continuity and appeared to
produce consistent and reproducible results from grade control (Ravensgate, 1999).
Great Southern Resources Pty Ltd (GSR) purchased the mining and exploration leases from IMR in August
2000.
Ausgold entered into a joint venture with GSR in August 2010, and the mineral titles were transferred to
Ausgold in entirety in August 2011.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The project includes three main deposit areas named Northern Zone, Central Zone and Southern Zone.
Each of these areas are subdivided into a set of mineralised lodes.
The majority of the project area is overlain by residual clays with outcrop mostly limited to remnants of
lateritic duricrust on topographic highs.
Gold mineralisation is hosted by medium to coarse-grained mafic gneisses which dip at around 20° to 45°
towards grid east (68°) in Southern and Central Zone and around 30° to 45° towards the WSW in Northern
Zone. These units represent Archaean greenstones metamorphosed to granulite facies.
The mineralised gneissic units are interlayered with barren quartz-monzonite sills up to approximately 120
metres thick and are cross-cut by several Proterozoic dolerite dykes that post-date mineralisation and
granulite metamorphism.
Gold predominantly occurs as free gold associated with disseminated pyrrhotite and magnetite, lesser
pyrite and chalcopyrite.

o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on
the basis that the information is not Material

aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging
techniques,
maximum
and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths
of low-grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be shown
in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
All reported assays have been arithmetically length weighted.
For all drill assay results the intervals reported are thickness-weighted averages (i.e. XXm grading XX grams
per tonne gold content). Reported intervals are calculated using ≥ 0.3g/t Au cut-off grade and using a ≤ 2m
minimum internal dilution (unless otherwise stated). All ‘included’ intervals are calculated using >1.0g/t Au
cut-off and using a ≤ 2m minimum internal dilution (unless otherwise stated).
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature
should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement
to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width
not known’).
The geometry of any primary mineralisation at the KGP is such that it trends N-S to NNW-SSE and dips
moderately (20°-45°) to the east. Given this, drilling intersects mineralisation at a high-angle and
downhole intercepts approximates true widths in most cases. If down hole length varies significantly from
known true width then appropriate notes are provided.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.
Refer to Figures.
Balanced
reporting
Where
comprehensive
reporting
of
all
Exploration
Results
is
not
practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
See Table 1. All intervals above the stated reporting cut-off are included; no selective reporting has
