Directors’ Report
PILBARA GOLD PROJECT, WA (KAI: 100%)
In the Pilbara, Kairos’ flagship asset is the advanced Mt York deposit, located ~100km south-east of Port Hedland. Together with the nearby Iron Stirrup and Old Faithful deposits, this forms the cornerstone of the Company’s Pilbara Gold Project. Since acquiring the project in early 2016, Kairos has rapidly established a substantial JORC compliant Mineral Resource inventory totalling 20.9Mt at 1.3g/t Au for 873.500 ounces (comprising Indicated Resources of 6.8Mt at 1.3g/t for 285,000oz and Inferred Resources of 7.6Mt at 1.47g/t for 358,000oz), initially by re-evaluating the known resources from the historical Lynas Find gold mine (which produced 125,000oz between 1994 and 1998) and subsequently through highly successful drilling programs. Kairos also holds 1,547 square kilometres of tenure which is highly prospective for gold and copper discoveries.

Directors’ Report
MOUNT YORK PROJECT (KAIROS 100%)
RC Drilling Program – Mt York Project
During the period, Kairos completed a Reverse Circulation (RC) drill program over the Old Faithful and Mount York deposits at the Mt York Project.
A total of 16 holes were drilled for 2,124m, with the aim of testing some of the targets generated by the recently completed SAM survey, as well as testing extensions to the known mineralisation both at depth and along strike. The drilling has also targeted higher-grade zones within the deposit, aiming to prove up the current Unclassified, Inferred and Indicated Resources into higher-confidence Resource categories.
The Old Faithful JORC resource calculation was based on the results of 166 historical RC holes for approximately 14,000m, and on the results of 10 historical diamond drilling holes for 1,194.1m. Gold mineralisation at Old Faithful is hosted within or adjacent to strongly folded/faulted talc-chlorite-carbonate units with minor associated interflow sediments and cherts. The deposit is characterised by several different mineralisation orientations and dips.
The initial recently completed SAM survey, combined with analysis of the previous drilling results and surface mapping, supported the target generation process for the drilling program. Prominent structural features were defined using the SAM survey results. The Total Field Electromagnetics (TFEM) component has defined two distinct targets, as well as the Reduced to Pole (RTP) component. Several magnetic conductors were also defined through the SAM survey results (see Figure 2).

Directors’ Report
Pilbara Gold Project Mineral Resource
The Company has 100% ownership of the Mount York, Iron Stirrup and Old Faithful mineral deposits. The Project is adjacent to the Pilbara Minerals’ (ASX: PLS) world-class Pilgangoora Lithium Mining Centre.
Following an extensive review of existing data – including the results from Kairos drilling programs over the Mt York Deposit and with the application of new parameters, the new global Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource for the centrally located Mt York, Iron Stirrup and Old Faithful deposits (Figure 3) in early 2020 – the Company was able to update the global Mineral Resources of the Pilbara Gold Project (Table 2).
Technical work on the Mineral Resources was completed by independent consultant Auralia Mining Consulting, Perth WA. The updated Mineral Resource was based on an extensive review of all Project data, including:
-
A review of all the historical data and drilling completed by Kairos in 2016 and 2017, (see ASX Announcements – 28 October 2016, 9 November 2016, 17 November 2016, 19 December 2016, 10 February 2017, 29 May 2017, 30 November 2017, 4 December 2017 and 18 December 2017); and
-
Re-interpretation and the subsequent wireframing of the mineralisation envelope for the Mt York Deposit, including the data from the drilling completed by Kairos in 2018 (see ASX Announcement – 2 October 2018).
The full details of this resource update can be found in an ASX announcement on 4 March 2020.

CROYDON PROJECT
Fuego Prospect
At the Fuego prospect, a program of ground-based soil and rock chip sampling and mapping was undertaken during the 2019 field season and identified an extensive area of anomalous gold-in-soil related to sedimentary units of the Hardey Formation.
Results from this initial program defined a 150m to 200m wide gold anomaly above 30ppb gold extending over a strike length of 8.1km. A high-grade core extending over a strike length of 1.1km at greater than 100ppb gold was identified in the central part of the anomaly. Seven samples from the anomaly returned elevated gold results above 200ppb gold (0.2 g/t gold) up to a peak of 648ppb gold (0.64 g/t gold).
Kairos completed 20 RC drill holes for a total of 3,815m at the Fuego prospect. Assay results which returned lowgrade gold was predominantly from conglomerates where a low level of sulphides was observed in the matrix.
Hole FGRC012 returned the best result of 4m at 325ppb Au, from a siliceous sulphide-rich unit within the basalt. This drilling program was conducted on lines 200m to 800m apart with the best result returned from the southernmost line.
Immediately to the south of the drilling area, significant geophysical features were defined through the sub-audio magnetic survey (SAM) and a priority area has been defined for the 2021 field season (Figure 4).

Directors’ Report
Another significant result was returned from a section drilled 1.2km to the north of the hole FGRC012, where hole FGRC018 returned 4m at 309ppb Au. In this section, a mineralized horizon of sandstone and conglomerate is noted dipping approximately 20 degrees to the north-west and is associated with an anomalous soil sample that returned 114ppb Au.
Interpretation of the mineralised horizon is illustrated in the cross-section shown in Figure 5.
==> picture [527 x 389] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5: Drill hole section with interpretation of the mineralisation, 40ppb wireframe.
Tierra Prospect
The Company has delineated a 2.5km long corridor of highly anomalous soils and rock chips including outstanding surface copper and gold grades from rock chip sampling during field exploration programs completed during 2020 at the Tierra Prospect. Two rock chips collected 50m apart returned high copper-gold results, CYR170 (16.8% Cu – 4.3 g/t Au) and CYR455 (16.3% Cu – 1.3 g/t Au).
Nine reconnaissance RC drill holes for a total of 1,771m were completed at the Tierra prospect. Four holes were drilled in the northern part of the prospect area. TRRC002 intersected pyrite and chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) logged in an ultramafic unit and pyrite and arsenopyrite logged in a quartzite unit.
The last five holes were drilled in the southern part of the prospect area targeting intrusion-related gold mineralisation. The southern drilled holes had to utilise areas that were previously heritage cleared access prior to the discovery of the soil anomalies.
Page 9
Directors’ Report
Holes TRRC001 and TRRC002 were drilled to test the extension of a mineralised vein mapped 500m to the southwest, from where the rock chip sample CYR170 returned 4.2g/t Au. Several mineralised intervals were described from hole TRRC002; however, this hole was abandoned at 145m due to drilling issues.
The pads of the holes TRRC003 and TRRC004 were initially designed to test the conglomerate unit under the Mt Roe basalt. Hole TRRC004 intersected 30m of sandstone and conglomerate units under the basalt, with sulphides observed in both units. Low-grade gold, 20ppb, was returned from a 4m composite sample at the bottom of this sedimentary package. These two holes also intersected the new target unit, the granitic rocks from the Sisters Supersuite intrusion, however no mineralised intervals were observed.
In the southern part of the Tierra prospect area, nine holes were drilled to test the Sisters Supersuite intrusion as well as its contact with the Mt Roe basalt. Strong gold-in-soil anomalies associated with the Sisters Supersuite granitic intrusion occur immediately to the north-east of the drilling area (up to 1,003ppb Au). This anomaly was confirmed and better delineated with the results of the recently completed in-fill soil sampling program.
Holes TRRC006, TRRC007 and TRRC009 intersected a mineralised granitic intrusion, with hole TRRC007 returning 8m @ 200ppb from surface and hole TRRC009 returning 4m @ 123ppb from 64m, where a single-metre sample with 3% pyrite was logged at 66m. See Figure 6 for the location of the holes and the soil anomalies.
A heritage survey has now been completed over the area that returned the high-grade gold in soils.

Directors’ Report
Aqua Prospect
Kairos also completed a soil geochemistry program at the Aqua prospect, located approximately 6km south of the Tierra prospect. At this prospect, a total of 170 soil samples were collected and sent to Intertek Minerals in Perth for gold and multi-element analysis.
The Sisters Supersuite Intrusion has been mapped by GSWA at this prospect area, and the recently completed airborne radiometric survey has delineated a target area of 2.3km by 0.7km within Kairos’ ground.
SKYWELL PROJECT
During the period, Kairos completed the first-pass regional soil geochemical program for the Skywell Project, with some in-fill and extensional soil samples collected for the recently defined Akari, Kepler, and Omid prospects (refer Figure 8).
During the 2020 field season, the Company collected a total of 2,094 soil samples within the Skywell Project area and submitted them to Labwest in Perth for the CSIRO’s ultrafine analysis.
This large program is part of the Company’s target generation for Hemi-style intrusive-related gold mineralisation. The in-fill soil sampling program results are expected to refine the targets for this year's drilling programs.
In addition, a mapping and rock chip sampling program was completed in November at the Akari, Kepler and Omid prospects to follow up the initial results from the first-pass soil sampling program.
A total of 54 rock chip samples were collected and sent to Intertek Minerals in Perth for gold and multi-element analysis. Rock chip samples were collected from several distinct geological units, including granitic intrusions (Sisters Supersuite Intrusion), sediments from the Mallina Basin and quartz veins.
Previous mapping and sampling outlined an area of seven rock chip samples that returned anomalous gold from a quartz vein cross-cutting a gabbro unit that is mapped as a mafic phase of the Sisters supersite intrusion. This gabbro intrudes as a sheet up to 700m thick near the base of the Mallina Formation (Geology of the Mount Wohler 1:100 000 sheet – Smithies 1998).
A major structural event took place after the intrusion, resulting in the development of synclines distinctively observable by the folded dark gabbro. The quartz vein is 1 to 3 metres wide and has been sampled over a strike length of 130 metres. Further sampling and mapping are required to define the extent of the gold mineralisation.
Five rock chip samples returned elevated gold results above 1,000ppb gold (1g/t Au), up to a peak of 12,954 ppb gold (12.9 g/t Au) (Figure 7).

Directors’ Report
==> picture [476 x 357] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 7: Skywell Project showing locations of rock chip samples, over the 1;500k GSWA Geology.
During the period, Kairos completed the in-fill soil sampling program to follow up the results of the first-pass soil geochemical program completed during the September 2020 quarter.
In addition, Kairos extended the soil sampling area to test three targets generated by the airborne magnetic survey.
The in-fill soil sampling program was conducted on a 200m line spacing by 80m, while the extensional program was still conducted on a 400m line spacing by 160m sample intervals covering intrusion-related gold mineralisation targets and structural targets defined by mapping and by the preliminary data from the airborne geophysical survey.
Initial interpretation of the Ultrafine gold and multi-element results, together with the results of the airborne magnetic survey, has generated one gold target within the E47/3519 and two gold targets within E47/3520 (Figure 8). The new targets are described in more detail below.
Page 12
Directors’ Report
==> picture [476 x 266] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 8: Gold anomalies at the Skywell Project and the 500k GSWA Tectonic map.
Kepler Prospect
This target is defined by a 6km long geochemical anomaly that occurs over the Mallina Basin sediments and the metagabbro unit of the Sisters Supersuite intrusion. The anomaly appears to be trending in a northwest-southeast direction. The metagabbro unit generally stands out as a strong magnetic feature on the recently completed airborne magnetic survey image and, interestingly, appears to be de-magnetized in the central part of the anomalous strike length (Figure 8), where sample SWS0548 returned 118ppb Au and 568ppm As.
The core of the anomaly, which extends over 2km, sits in between the axis and the western limb of a syncline fold and is cross-cut by a major northeast-southwest fault, suggesting the potential for structurally controlled mineralisation (Figure 8).
Akari Prospect
This target is defined by a coherent and robust anomaly characterised by elevated Au, As, Bi, Mo, Pb, Sb, Te, and W, and extending over a strike length of 4km. The main component of this anomaly, where sample SWS0090 returned 69ppb Au, is associated with Hardey Formation and sits on the edge of a prominent magnetic anomaly (Figure 8).
The second component of this anomalous zone sits on the sediments of the Mallina Basin (GSWA Mount Wohler 1:100,000 Geological Map). This anomalous zone remains open in one or more directions. A further in-fill and extensional soil sampling program, combined with detailed geological mapping, is required to identify the extension and nature of this anomaly.
Omid Prospect
This target comprises low-level gold and arsenic anomalies coincident with a magnetic feature over mapped granodiorite intrusion in sediments of the Mallina Basin. See Figure 8 for the location of this target.

Directors’ Report
KANGAN PROJECT
The Kangan Project is located 90km south of Port Hedland in the Pilbara of Western Australia. The Project has good access via the major sealed Great Northern Highway that runs through the central portion of the Project.
During the 2020 field season, a total of 1,594 soil samples were collected within E45/4740 and submitted to Labwest in Perth for Ultrafine Analysis. This geochemical program is part of the regional CSIRO soil research initiative. Soil sampling was conducted on first pass 200m and 400m line spacing by 80m and 160m sample intervals covering intrusion-related gold mineralisation targets and structural targets defined by mapping and by the preliminary data from the airborne geophysical survey.
Initial interpretation of the Ultrafine gold and multi-element results, along with the results of the airborne magnetic survey, has generated four gold targets within the E45/4740 (Figures 9 and 10).

Figure 10: Targets over the Au grid image and the 500k GSWA Tectonic Map.
Target 1
This target is defined by a major north-south structural zone which is coincident to a 3km long geochemical anomaly. This north-south interpreted structure marks the eastern margin of the gold-in-soils anomaly and is similar to large regional structures adjacent to the Hemi Deposit and is of a similar orientation to the newly discovered Falcon intrusion. This target area has a zone of elevated auriferous pathfinder elements associated with granitic intrusions and is traceable for over 15km to the south-east. This zone is approximately 1 km wide and includes Mo, U, Pb, Nb, Sb, Ag, As, Cu & Co anomalies.
Target 2
Gold-in-soil anomaly coincident with some magnetic features. S and Sr are also elevated within this target area.
Target 3
This target is defined by a 3.5km long geochemical anomaly coincident with magnetic features and lithological boundaries (intrusion contact). On the western area of this target there is a gold anomaly coincident with a local magnetic anomaly where previous Kairos mapping has described a BIF unit. On the eastern area of this target lies the peak gold anomaly, 48.5ppb, associated with the Sisters Supersuite and the Callina Supersuite contact.

Directors’ Report
WODGINA PROJECT
The Wodgina Project comprises two granted exploration licences E45/4715 and E45/4780, covering an area of 68km[2] . The Project is located ~90km south of Port Hedland and is situated immediately adjacent to Mineral Resources’ (ASX: MIN) Wodgina Tantalum-Lithium Project and ~15km from Pilbara Minerals’ (ASX: PLS) Pilgangoora Lithium Mining Centre.
The Wodgina Project forms part of a Farm-in Agreement with Altura Mining Ltd (ASX: AJM). Under the terms of the Agreement, Altura may earn up to 75% interest in the lithium rights of the project, by the expenditure of $1.25 million over five years from the Commencement date, 9[th] May 2019.
On the 26[th] October 2020 Altura was placed in voluntary receivership, with Richard Tucker and John Bumbak of KordaMentha appointed Joint and Several Receivers and Managers. On the 27[th] October 2020 Stuart Rocke and Jeremy Joseph Nips of Cor Cordis were appointed Joint and Several Voluntary Administrators of Altura (See Altura ASX announcements dated 26[th] and 27[th] October 2020). Kairos is currently undertaking a review and assessment of the Farm-in Agreement and the Wodgina Project.
ROE HILLS PROJECT, WA (KAI 100%)
The 100%-owned Roe Hills Project, located 120km east of Kalgoorlie in WA’s Eastern Goldfields, comprises an extensive tenement portfolio which is highly prospective for gold, nickel and cobalt discoveries.
Kairos has completed four gold-focused exploratory drilling campaigns at the Roe Hills Project, located approximately 120km east of Kalgoorlie.

During the period, the Company leased its head office premises at Level 1, 43 Ventnor Avenue, West Perth 6000, Australia. The lease had a three-year term commencing 1 September 2020 with another three-year extension option.
The Company recognised the lease as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date which the leased premises is available for use by the Company.

The lease treatment is outlined in the table that follows:

Independent Auditor’s Review Report
To the Members of Kairos Minerals Ltd
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Kairos Minerals Ltd (“the Company”) and Controlled Entities (“the Consolidated Entity”) which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other selected explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Kairos Minerals Ltd and Controlled Entities does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
a. Giving a true and fair view of the Kairos Minerals Ltd financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
Independent Auditor’s Review Report To the Members of Kairos Minerals Ltd (Continued)
==> picture [73 x 36] intentionally omitted <==
Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Kairos Minerals Ltd are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Consolidated Entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
