EKJV Underground Exploration
Mineralisation intersected by drilling in the Mary Fault at the Rubicon/Hornet/Pegasus (RHP) underground is hosted by a 0.5 to 4.0m wide quartz-breccia.
Significant drilling intercepts returned during the March quarter include:
• 3.30m (2.70m etw) grading 7.70g/t gold from 89.3m (STKD21026)
• 4.10m (4.10m etw) grading 4.40g/t gold from 149.0m (STKD22002)
• 0.50m (0.5m etw) grading 17.10g/t gold from 168.9m (STKD21018)
Assays are pending for three holes into the Mary Fault. If results are considered positive, further step-out drilling will continue with the aim of delineating a new potential resource opportunity at RHP.
Plan view of the significant results received for Mary Fault drilling during the March quarter
Full details of all EKJV exploration activities including significant intersections from results received are contained in the 2022 Quarter 3 EKJV Exploration Report, released to the ASX on 28 April 2022.
Other Exploration Projects
Tribune Resources (Ghana) Limited (Tribune's Interest 100%)
There were no drilling activities or assays received during the quarter. Working with external consultants, an extensive database review was conducted that identified additional drilling targets within the concession. Planning for additional drilling is underway with the objective of increasing the confidence of the 1.8 million ounce Adiembra mineral resource.
With the relaxation of travel restrictions in place due to the Covid pandemic, Tribune personnel from Australia arrived on site late in the quarter to progress activities on site during the next period.
The proposed work program for the next quarter includes a UAV aerial topographic survey and ground truthing for the concession area, planning and execution of infill drilling and extension of known areas ofmineralisation to upgrade the mineral resource, and planning of test hole drilling for the project to assist with metallurgical, geotechnical, hydrology and future location of site infrastructure.

During the quarter in the Upper Ulip tenement, surface exploration work was conducted in the Paraiso (Lantawan and Rockstar prospects). Twelve (12) rock and a panned concentrate samples were collected for chemical analysis.
The samples were taken from several small-scale mines (SSM) that are operating in Lantawan
Surface exploration was conducted west of the 729 ha tenement to identify potential extension of Diwalwal veins. Twenty-four (24) rock samples were collected for chemical analysis.
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 or assay results were conducted during the quarter.
Seven Mile Hill Joint Venture (Tribune's Interest 50%)
During the quarter, all 4m composite assays were received for the most recent RC drilling program. Three holes intersected significant (+0.5g/t Au) values. These are shown in the table below.
Anomalous (+0.5g/t Au) values from RC and RC precollar holes at 7MH - 4m composites.
