EKJV Underground Exploration
Underground exploration drilling at EKJV targeted the Sadler RMV from the Sadler decline to infill areas and increase geological confidence in the Raleigh Main Vein down dip where historic drilling was never followed up on.
Other drilling targeted Nugget, Rubicon K2B and Pode structures. The Rubicon K2B drilling was design to infill a potential southerly grade plunge on the K2B structure from 80x80 to a 40x40 spacing to convert classified inferred ounces to indicated.
Similarly, Nugget drilling was designed to infill and extend down dip the structure on 60x60 spacing below the 5900RL
Full details of all EKJV exploration activities including significant intersections from results received are contained in the 2022 Quarter 4 EKJV Exploration Report, released to the ASX on 27 July 2022.
Other Exploration Projects
Tribune Resources (Ghana) Limited (Tribune's Interest 100%)
There were no drilling activities during the 2nd quarter of 2022, however the Company, in consultation with MaxGeo and Mining Plus, completed its database clean-up which paved the way for an external database consultant to commence and complete a comprehensive database auditing. The company's current database including its historical data has been merged and audited and it is ready for any required activity.
An infill diamond core and reverse circulation drilling program of about 8,322m has been planned for execution from August 2022. The focus of this program is to upgrade the indicated resource to a measured category for future reserve estimation.
In addition to this, Metallurgical, Sterilization and Hydrological drill holes for plant, infrastructural, water and tailings dam management, planning is currently under way.
Further, an UAV Aerial Topographic detailing and ground truth of surface topographic details of the Japa project area has been earmarked for execution in August 2022.
No mineral production was undertaken by company during the quarter
Diwalwal Gold Project
(Philippines) (Tribune's Legal Interest 40% and a further 20% earnt Economic Interest)
During the quarter in the Upper Ulip tenement, surface exploration work was conducted in the Paraiso (Lantawan and Rockstar prospects). Underground face mapping of small-scale mines (SSM) in Lantawan reveal an uneroded epithermal system evidenced by pinching out veins and gold-base metals geochemistry. Most veins trend NW, perpendicular to the NE-trending Lantawan ridge topographic anomaly, more than 1km in length.
With over a decade of local mining operations and increasing local investments despite high operational cost, gold appears to increase with depth.

Rock samples from several SSM returned encouraging gold results with copper and zinc anomalies. Silver is present even in samples with <0.5 ppm gold. Molybdenum is detected in Loloy tunnel, several hundred metres from the high value James tunnel to the north, extending anomaly coverage.
Together with previous results, geochemistry and geology strongly indicate a potential sizeable epithermal gold vein open at depth
Victory tunnel operations include regular inspection and maintenance activities for tunnel stability and safety inspections.
Tree nursery and materials recovery operations carried on throughout the quarter, ensuring efforts to protect the environment are in place.
No drilling was conducted during the quarter.
Seven Mile Hill Joint Venture (Tribune's Interest 50%)
During the quarter, geological logging of drill core from the previous diamond drilling campaign was conducted for the Seven Mile Hill joint venture.
